Chapter 1038: Various Intelligences
So in this way, I don't know when Wu Tongtong and Zhou Xun seem to have become their code of conduct, and all teammates, including Xu Lingwei and others, who have just arrived, have also begun to perform positively, looking forward to becoming the next lucky son.

But soon after, they found that after listening to Wu Tongtong's whisper in his ear, Li Ran gradually frowned, which couldn't help but make them a little worried, you must know that this kind of look is difficult to see on Li Ran's face who is usually turbulent, and every time Li Ran shows this kind of expression, it is a big trouble.
However, in the subsequent meeting, Li Ran did not say anything, and the main content of his inquiry still revolved around the progress of the world map and the development of the Khan Lock Empire after he left.
As for the progress of the world map, Zhao Yucheng and others, who were more professional at this time, had already rearranged and produced a more detailed battle line distribution map based on the rough map made by the players, including all the targets, terrain along the way, and all possible enemies within nearly 500 miles around the route as the Tianyun Legion advanced.
"Boss, according to the plan you made, our next goal is here" Zhao Yucheng, who was in charge of explaining at this time, pointed to a city in the map and said: "This is an A-level large city, although it is not the largest city we have captured so far, but according to the information we have obtained so far, in addition to the relatively strong troops, its city defense level is the highest we have encountered so far."
"Oh, what are you going to do?" Li Ran nodded and said.
It seems that he has been prepared in his heart, and at this time Zhao Yucheng replied without the slightest hesitation: "Considering that this city lord has been entrenched there for decades, and he also has some relationship with some surrounding city lords and lords, so we are still in the observation stage, and it will take at least a while to attack the city, and then we will need the help of the Zhou team, and we will be able to transfer some elite soldiers who are good at attacking the city."
In this regard, Zhou Xun also smiled and said: "Just say it, I want those troops this time, but I can tell you, we are also very busy now, and no one will bring you more."
Seeing that Zhou Xun nodded, Zhao Yucheng said with a smile: "Team Zhou, don't worry, I don't want more this time, as long as you transfer those dark mages who can summon amethyst giant insects, as well as the undead plague demons, to transfer some to me, but the latter must at least be able to join forces to summon one or two Styx demons, of course, it would be better if the slave plague demons could give me a little, their extreme jumping and positioning teleportation can help us speed up the speed of attacking the city gate in the first place, so that we will lose less troops"
After listening to what Zhao Yucheng said, Zhou Xun hesitated at this time and said: "There is no problem with the dark mage, I will transfer dozens of super-level mages who specialize in dark summoning to you today, but the demon side is a little troublesome now, they were all taken to the Io Fu underground world by Xia Houben and Zhou Tong and others some time ago, and it seems that they are about to start a war with the plane lord, even if I transfer you back now, it may take a long time in time."
Hearing Zhou Xun say this, Zhao Yucheng couldn't help but be a little disappointed, in this matter led by his team, they also wanted to be perfect, and if the city was taken and the loss of troops was too great, then everything would be meaningless, not to mention the credit, but Li Ran, the boss, would still feel that their ability was limited.
But in the capture of this city, the ability of the demon army is undoubtedly higher than that of the dark mage, if there is only a demon force without a dark mage, they can still use other solutions to control the loss, but if there is no demon army, according to the results of their many deductions, the casualties will undoubtedly increase by more than two percent, and at that time, plus their current strategy of forcibly recovering the heart of the creature and then selling the city at a low price, it is not profitable at all.
Another point, if the city lord who was a little irritable in the investigation resisted to the death, they were likely to face a loss, and at that time, don't say that Li Ran blamed, I'm afraid they won't be able to pass the hurdle in their hearts.
Seeing the expressions of Zhao Yucheng and others, Zhou Xun and the others naturally knew the reason very well, but they really had no choice at the moment.
During this period of time, with Shadow Blade and Duan Bo and his entourage sending troops to the Forest of the Dead in the west, they took away some high-level troops, and Xia Houben, who finally completed the preliminary reconnaissance of the Iofu Underground World not long ago, took away some of the high-level troops with Zhou Tong and others, preparing to wipe out the hellish plane where the Barlow Flame Demon Commander Disnaik was located in one fell swoop.
But in this way, they have a small number of high-level troops left, in addition to deploying a few major cities, and facing the provocations of Grenada and Cruyard from time to time on the border, and then the continuous conquest to supply the world map is already a little stretched, but fortunately, they have already deployed thousands of legendary troops in the Tianyun Group in the early stage, so they can cope with it during this time, but in terms of higher-level troops, they can no longer be as free as before.
"Otherwise, the floating castle has been repaired through research, and some time ago it unsealed twelve legendary giant ancient elf golems, which should be good for siege, and there are dozens of relatively rare white dragons in the endless snow region, although their individual strength is slightly inferior to the red dragon and the black dragon, but their cold dragon breath has a huge range, which can have a great impact on the long-range troops, and it should be able to effectively alleviate the siege pressure, if you need it, we will let people send it to you as soon as possible" At this time, Wu Tongtong on the side said.
Hearing this, Zhao Yucheng couldn't help but nod again and again, the ten-meter-high Ancient Elf Golem was far easier to use as a siege unit, not to mention that there was now a rare-level white dragon that could control long-range firepower, in this way, it was even better than the war situation they had conceived, so they were all very satisfied at the moment.
Seeing their confident looks, Li Ran was also much kinder, but in the end, after listening to their intelligence analysis, he still reminded and said: "Although you have enough confidence in siege warfare, there are still some things to pay attention to, such as the connections of this city lord, do a good job of intelligence gathering before the battle, and before the war, at least ensure that there are no hostile legions within a hundred kilometers around, and there are also some nearby legions and unions, including the dark legion, It is necessary to keep enough troops to deal with all kinds of contingencies."
Listening to Li Ran's explanation, Zhao Yucheng and the others also nodded again and again, and told Li Ran some countermeasures, including sending a large number of scouts in the early stage, preparing to use the Barranca air cavalry to monitor all movements within a radius of thirty miles on the day of the siege, and at the same time, they were also negotiating with the Tianyun Group to hire some players to conduct real-time reconnaissance in some surrounding cities and territories, etc.
It has to be said that as the major legions and trade unions have begun to conquer cities on the world map, a set of relatively stable siege plans have gradually been formed, including intelligence collection, preliminary reconnaissance, prevention of coalition forces, and response to sneak attacks.
Seeing this, Li Ran also nodded slightly, and then turned to Zhou Xun and the others, and began to inquire about the current situation of the Khan Rock Empire, and after hearing Li Ran's inquiry, Zhou Xun and Wu Tongtong also quickly told the current progress.
Among them, in addition to the two armies of Xia Houben and Shadow Blade, including the construction of the stronghold leading to the border of the Kruyad Empire, the maintenance and use of some large buildings in the city, the recruitment and start of construction of large shipyards, etc., they waited for nearly an hour, and these two people, plus Cai Chang and others who added a few words from time to time, introduced all this work.
"Very good, but in addition to speeding up the construction of the stronghold on the Kruyad border, you also have to worry about the operation of several major training bases, which are directly related to our future military resources, at this point, we must not only reduce the expenditure there, but also strengthen the investment of personnel" After affirming the merits of Zhou Xun and others, Li Ran continued: "By the way, is there any news from the scouts who went to Roaring Island and the two empires?" ”
Hearing Li Ran ask about this, Wu Tongtong replied: "Although no one has returned from the scouts who went to the two empires for the time being, we have returned one of the ships on the island of Roaring, and at the same time brought back two scouts, they are responsible for investigating the coastal coast, and I have also read the information they recorded, most of which are similar to the materials left by the empire."
Although he was a little disappointed, Li Ran also knew that it was not easy to go to an unfamiliar area to investigate, so he also admonished and said: "Let people send them to the Mage Tower, and ask Master Sanchez to start making a magic map, and at the same time, the second batch of scouts will also be sent out as soon as possible, we have spent so much energy and financial resources in exchange for the current city, if we want to develop, this Roaring Island must be captured, and then a small terrain may determine the outcome of a war, so we must not be sloppy about this matter."
Seeing Zhou Xun and the others nodding heavily, Li Ran also continued: "As for the other two empires, what you need to pay most attention to at the moment is to establish the relationship between them through intelligence, and you must always grasp it, except for the forces that have interests in Roaring Island, in the current situation of insufficient manpower, the collection of intelligence of other forces can be put aside first, among which the Holy Falcon Alliance Kingdom, because it involves several countries, the intelligence investigation work may be a little troublesome, you can put the elite scouts over there" ( To be continued. )
