Chapter 972: Half-Elf Clan
"These guys are really arrogant, they actually chose the meeting point in the tribe closest to us" When he learned from these high elf guards that he was less than a hundred miles away from this place and found a territory where a large number of half-elves had gathered, Li Ran couldn't help but smile and said.

It's a pity that these high elf patrols have not received professional scout training, so they can't penetrate and observe the specific strength of the other party, but from their estimates, the number of warriors on the other side should be more than 10,000 people, of which almost half of the warriors above the top level are in this, and in addition, these high elf patrols also found a lot of half-blood dragon beasts and dragons.
Hearing the news, Li Ran also nodded, the other party has this kind of strength, and such an environmental advantage, no wonder he dares to be so arrogant, but when he came over this time, he didn't plan to go back without taking a look.
Two days later, when Xia Houben also came over with another five hundred troops, after two days of preparation, Li Ran launched a general attack on this half-elf alliance stronghold.
In the absence of any need to hide his strength, Li Ran directly attacked the opponent's city wall with nearly a hundred epic-level silver fire dragons, and at the same time killed the opponent's dragons and large creatures, while the cloud giant broke through the gate of the opponent's territory with only one round of attacks, and the bloodthirsty and violent rhinoceros that followed directly tore through the opponent's defensive formation, and then the battle formation composed of three hundred and seventy-two legendary-level silver dragon warriors made these half-elves have no power to fight back at all, and fell into the hands of those Terran swordsmen and high elves in panic and fear.
With only two thousand troops, Li Ran captured this place in one fell swoop with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, except for some agile small flying creatures, even those green dragons did not run away.
Through inquiry, Li Ran and the others also learned that there were four elven tribes in this alliance, and among them, the patriarchs of two tribes became their prisoners.
After capturing here, Li Ran was not idle, after Cao Dayong led his troops to escort these captives back, Li Ran and Shadow Blade continued to capture the other three half-elf tribes, and captured a total of nearly 20,000 people together with the clansmen.
After transporting these captives back to Tyre City, Li Ran once again targeted a half-elf castle two hundred kilometers away from the stronghold with five hundred high-ranking troops coming over a week later.
This is a territory the size of a small city, built by mountains and rivers, the environment and terrain are very good, the patriarch Eslan is not only a member of the Elus family, but also a powerful half-elf druid, with the strength of the legendary level, in this half-plane is also a well-known figure, not only in his hands nearly 20,000 elven warriors, but also behind his castle there is a huge green dragon lair, the number of adult green dragons in it has reached more than seventy.
So when a few days later, when the news of the half-elf druid's city being overrun by invaders broke, the plane was shocked.
And after Li Ran and the others wiped out all the tribes and biota within a hundred kilometers of the surrounding area, and at the same time moved the plane passage from the stronghold to here, several large tribes nearby also jointly attacked under the call of the Elus clan.
Defending the city was the advantage of Li Ran's side, at this time they had a strength of 6,000, especially when there were still a large number of high-level troops, after a bloody battle, Li Ran finally defeated them, and at the same time captured nearly 10,000 prisoners again.
I have to say that all these behaviors of Li Ran are crazy, with a few thousand troops to challenge this plane with an area about the size of the Khan Lock Empire, if the two major forces here at this time, any of them directly attack the whole army, even if they have so many high-level troops, without the support of the main army, they may only be defeated.
Fortunately, after understanding in advance, whether it is the Elus clan or the Erwin clan, their main city is very far away from here, even if they rush over as soon as they get the news of them, it will not work for a month or two, and although the relationship between the two belongs to the same clan, the contempt between the elves is sometimes more difficult to resolve than hatred, so they will definitely not join forces, so Li Ran dares to act like this.
At the same time, there is another point, Li Ran did not say, until two months later, despite all kinds of bad news from the imperial capital, he ushered in the crusade legion of the Elus clan here, and brazenly fought against the opponent's nearly 100,000 legions with a force of less than 10,000 troops, when the battle was at its worst, the sudden appearance of King Moluga finally forced the other party to choose to retreat, and no longer dared to attack easily.
Although the loss of a lot of high-level troops as a result, including even the casualties of the epic-level troops in the double digits, but the significance of this battle is very significant, one of the two major forces, the retreat of the Elus clan, so that Li Ran's side finally gained a foothold in this half-plane, even those half-elves who have always refused to surrender, but at this time there is a rare momentum of submission.
Prior to this, they had captured nearly 100,000 half-elves, whether they were ordinary clansmen or warriors, almost none of them were willing to surrender, and all they could recruit were those native creatures, such as the earth-walking dragon and the half-sheep people, and at this moment, the surrender of the most important life form in this plane, the half-elves, made their troops here rapidly increase, and in just one week, the number of their warriors reached more than 30,000 people.
It's a pity that there is no time for Li Ran to continue to expand the results of the battle, but fortunately, with the addition of these half-elves, there should be no threat here in a short period of time, so in the evening of this day, Li Ran and Xia Houben quietly left here with some high-level troops.
Before they could return to the City Lord's Mansion, Zhou Xun and the others had already hurried over, and when they were telling Li Ran and Xia Houben about the current situation in the capital, they handed over several handwritten letters from Prince Pamela and Marquis Elisimo to Li Ran.
However, after reading these letters, the first thing Li Ran said was to ask: "I've been a little busy over there these days, do you have any news from Qian Hui?" ā
Hearing that Li Ran asked about Qian Hui and them, Zhou Xun and the others couldn't help but smile slightly, among which Zhang Juan hurriedly replied: "They have arrived a few days ago, and I heard that they also received some cactus tree seeds you want from a desert lord."
Oh, Li Ran nodded and said with a smile: "It's a little faster than I expected, it seems that the road is really different, if you see it when you go offline, tell them, let them take those dwarf miners in the past this time, first develop the magic gold mine and dragon bone iron mine near the silver fire dragon, and leave the other farther ones aside for the time being, and then talk about it, remind them to pay attention to protection, although the dwarf miners also have medium and high-level combat effectiveness, but it is not enough to see there, don't accidentally hang up"
At this time, Zhou Xun and the others also nodded to indicate that they knew, and at this time, Li Ran seemed to suddenly think of something again, so he continued: "By the way, these guys will definitely run around after they go, you can tell them when you see them, let them stuff some fire dwarf craftsmen into the war space for me first, they are all top craftsmen and masters, I didn't bring them back last time I didn't have a quota, if they hang up, just bring me some."
Hearing this, all the teammates couldn't help but laugh, and they breathed a sigh of relief after learning about the amazing results of the half-plane.
"Okay, let's talk about your thoughts, what are we going to do over there in the capital" At this time, Li Ran suddenly asked.
After being silent for a while, Zhou Xun glanced up at Li Ran and said: "Now that the Duke of Maidnaqi has officially joined the capital, mediation is impossible, although the outside world has not announced it, but everyone knows that he conquered the city of the Marquis of Silisus this time, in addition to his brother's five hundred personal soldiers, his legion has a lot of high-level troops of the Tutanqi family, and now Prince Pamela has continuously sent envoys to visit, it seems that the situation is more critical, it is not good if we don't make a statement, after all, we are still subjects of the Khan Rock Empire, So I think we should help the empire through this first."
And after saying this, seeing that Li Ran did not speak, Zhou Xun continued: "Of course, before that, we also took into account the attitude of the Grand Chief of Krach, according to the intelligence of our flight scout, he is still in Ringer City for the time being, it seems that he is still waiting to see the situation, as long as we can cooperate with the capital to solve Mednaqi, I believe this person should be able to retreat."
Li Ran nodded at this, and asked after a while: "In the battle in the city of the Marquis of Silisus before, do you have an accurate battle report now?" What about the casualties of the troops on the other side of the capital? ā
Zhou Xun sighed, handed a watch in his hand to Li Ran and said: "This is the information we have collected, in this war, the Maidnaqi side adopted the tactics of luring, after besieging the city for a month, the army chose to withdraw with food and grass, and as a result, an ambush was set up halfway, causing the army chased out of the capital to be ambushed, so that the other party broke the city gate under the demoralization frustration."
After a pause, Zhou Xun continued: "But in general, the casualties in the capital are not large, mainly the troops of the Marquis of Silisus's headquarters and Prince Pamela, as well as the reinforcements sent by the Duke of Nigaro, the troops below the middle rank are not counted, the troops above the high rank and the high rank have lost about 70,000 people, and nearly 100,000 people have been captured by the Maidnaqi side, as for the rank of the troops and the details of the casualties, I have recorded them on this table, which is about fifty percent more than the information circulating in the capital."
"Yes, with this table, we will be able to clearly know the situation of the battle" Li Ran said after affirming Zhou Xun's merits: "In addition, with this table, we can also clearly grasp the situation of the Duke of Maidnaqi's troops" (To be continued.) )
