Originally, Zhao Lanlan was not among the scheduled candidates in the list of personnel for this expedition, but before leaving, after escorting the last group of cavalry with Zhou Xun, she stayed despite Li Ran's persuasion, saying that she wanted to follow to see the scenery of the Saranca Empire, but everyone understood her intentions.

And after hearing Zhao Lanlan's words, without waiting for Li Ran to speak at this time, Bao Zhuoyi on the side couldn't help but spit and said, "I'm bah!" If it weren't for the fact that Nuches had sent nearly half a million men to chase after us, and that the reinforcements and baggage troops had attacked me several times before and after, they would have been able to hold the fortress? ”

For Bao Zhuoyi's words, his teammates couldn't help but agree, and at this time, some of the surrounding legion generals nodded again and again, counting the entanglement and depression of these days, including the casualties and losses of his subordinates, on the heads of these people, and even in their hearts, they felt even more disgusted with these nobles of the Holy Falcon Alliance.

But then they were also curious to find that after listening to Zhao Lanlan's words, Li Ran, the prince, did not speak for a long time.

And just when everyone felt that something was wrong, Li Ran suddenly said: "At this time, going back can only be regarded as barely completing the task, and in the eyes of these people in the Holy Falcon Alliance, maybe it is not as good as our sin of leaving the Lyon stronghold."

"What do you mean, Brother Ran?" Seeing Li Ran say this, everyone present couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and Cai Chang was the first to ask.

Looking around, especially on several legion generals, Li Ran looked at it for a long time and said: "This march is full of dangers, for the Holy Falcon Alliance, we are hiding in Tibet like lost dogs, nearly 10,000 people have fallen so far, and what is even more hateful is that we heroic warriors have not died on the real battlefield, I believe everyone knows that most of them are sacrificing to protect us."

Hearing this, the atmosphere couldn't help but be a little heavy, and when they thought of the soldiers who had fallen in battle, the generals of the legions present showed sad expressions in addition to grief and indignation.

"You can say! At this moment! I've done my duty for the Holy Falcon Alliance! Speaking of this, looking at the generals whose emotions slowly changed, Li Ran suddenly said loudly: "But the blood of our soldiers in Tyre City cannot be shed, even if the Saranca Empire hates us so much, and even does not sacrifice to send troops from the front line to encircle and suppress, so that our soldiers are buried in other places, then I hereby declare, from now on!" Our army is in a state of official war! The first goal was to bring Toliman's troops to the rear, to let them know what the heroism of a warrior was! What is the glory of Tyre! ”

At the same time, Duke Griffiths, who was located in the fortress, was learning about the casualties of his own troops through the report of the adjutant.

In this continuous offensive and defensive battle for nearly a month, he held on to the fortress under his feet, and judging from the current situation, the forces of Saranca on the opposite side were no longer able to launch a strong attack again, if nothing else, he should be able to complete the duties assigned by the empire.

But with that, in the face of Duke Nuches's almost crazy attack, his troops here were heavy casualties, in less than a month, not only his troops had lost forty percent, but the main battle force of 1.67 million people in the original fortress was less than one million at this time, and most of the remaining ones were still physically wounded.

After ten minutes, the adjutant finally finished reporting the details of the damage, and after taking these to heart, the Duke of Greenum also suddenly got up, and slowly paced to the floor-to-ceiling window while calculating.

"Do you have any information about Prince Terryth?" the duke suddenly said after a long time, looking at the mess inside the fortress.

At this time, there were only two people in this room, so after listening to his words, although the adjutant who had just finished reporting the list of the dead in battle felt a little strange, he immediately replied the next moment: "Since the last message, there is no information about this prince of the Khan Rock Empire for the time being."

"Last message? Isn't that all ten days? Griffitz said with a slight frown.

Seeing the duke's displeasure, the next moment the adjutant also stood up straight, he knew the duke's habits, the more angry he was, the more he couldn't get used to the laziness of the people around him, and tried to keep his body straight.

"Okay, I can't blame you guys, after all, he is behind the battlefield at the moment" Turning his head to look at the adjutant, Griffitz waved his hand with some interest and asked, "Do you think they are still alive now?" ”

Hearing the Duke's question, the middle-aged adjutant said after thinking about it at this time: "In my opinion, it should be unlikely that they will survive, after all, according to the last intelligence, the Saranca Legion that followed him not only had more than 400,000 people sent by Duke Nuches, but all the forces in that area seemed to have moved, in this case, they~"

Although the adjutant didn't say anything about this, Griffitz clearly understood what he meant, and after a long time, he suddenly threw his fist and slammed it into the wall, shaking the whole room slightly.

"Your Excellency!" At this time, the adjutant hurriedly said: "This is just my personal speculation, this Prince of Terreth dares to take on this task, maybe there is another means of escape."

Snorted coldly, at this time this Griffiths said with some anger: "I'm not angry for this Terryth, this person is ambitious and very cunning, although the king cooperates with him, although he has the power, but there is no doubt that he is conspiring with the tiger, although I admire his control of the battle situation, but I never regret giving him this task, if he is wiped out in this battle, it can be said that there is no harm to the alliance, what I hate is within the empire, even at this critical moment in the life-and-death battle with the Saranca Empire, there are still those who seek personal gain, Don't hesitate to gamble on the interests of the Empire, this time it's just Prince Terres, so next time, who can guarantee that they won't sell us to each other for their own personal gain! ”

As the duke's lieutenant for many years, this person also said with a flash in his eyes: "Your Excellency, is it referring to the incident where Prince Territh's identity was exposed?" Then the only one who is possible is the Marquis Yukov of the Oakington Empire."

The corners of his mouth on the right side of his mouth rose slightly, and at this time, the commander of the fortress changed his composure in the conference room, and said with some disdain: "This Prince of Terryth occupies nearly half of the territory of Roaring Island, coupled with the previous disputes, this matter must have nothing to do with these selfish dwarves, but if it is all done by this Yukov, it will be too much to look up to him."

Looking at the flickering cold light in Lord Griffitz's eyes, the adjutant seemed to have thought of something, but when he thought of the powerful Eloland, even the lord above him did not say it at this time, and he even pretended not to hear it.

And after a period of silence, just when the adjutant felt a little depressed, Griffitz suddenly said: "You go to the reconnaissance corps and pass on my orders!" Let Li Ying arrange for someone to go to the rear as soon as possible, regardless of the outcome of life or death, and find out the situation of this Prince of Terryth for me."

After saying this, without waiting for the adjutant to react, the Duke of Griffitz also changed his mind and asked about the current situation of some other fortresses after this war, and when he learned that on the original basis, there was another fortress lost at this time, and it was the Uktara Imperial Fortress located next to him, he also quickly walked to the center of the room and carefully studied it against the large real map here.

"I didn't expect these barbarians to be so crazy that even the fortress guarded by Duke Bancroteff was lost" After a long time, the duke couldn't help but sigh and said: "It seems that when the next order of the Supreme Council of the Alliance comes, our side will inevitably have to take action"

"Your Excellency is right" At this time, the adjutant also said with a sigh of gratitude: "This fortress commanded by the Duke of Bancrot is very close to us, and as for the fortress of the Duke of Alfred on the other side, it could have been supported, but judging from the current information, although they can defend it, in addition to being breached twice, this time it is also a lose-lose situation with the other party, so it is very likely that we will be sent to take back this fortress next."

Regarding this matter, Griffitz shook his head helplessly and said: "I didn't expect the Saranca Empire to be so crazy this time, although between attacking and defending, in terms of casualties, our side must have some advantages, but if they wait until they recover, these three lost fortresses may be even more difficult to get back, and with these three fortresses as a foundation, our next battle will be even more difficult to fight."

Hearing him say this, the adjutant was also a little worried and said: "My lord, even if the Saranca Empire took great pains to finally take these three fortresses this time, then in this case, they will definitely increase their troops here as soon as possible, so will it be a little risky for us to go over like this?" ”

In this regard, Griffitz said nonchalantly: "If they want to win this time, it is certain that they will increase the number of troops in these three fortresses, but at that time, the Supreme Council will definitely not rush to our side, which is tantamount to sending us to death, not to mention that now on our side, those imperial capitals in the rear, especially at this moment, maybe Uktara's reinforcements are already on the way."

Hearing this, the adjutant also nodded, and after talking for a while about the wars of some other fortresses, especially several powerful lords, including the Duke of Forton Marr of his own country, Prince Celia of the Eloland Empire, etc., after the details of this war, seeing that this Lord Griffitz gradually became sleepy, he also left here on the pretext of going to the scout corps.
