The market here is as chaotic and orderly as this city, the chaos is all kinds of people and noise, and the order is reflected in the powerful guards around them, the guards here are all teams of grumpy high-level minotaurs, plus the multi-headed lizard cavalry that appears from time to time, for those adventurers and life-threatening adventurers who do not abide by the rules, they have no sympathy at all, just now Li Ran They saw an adventurer who was trying to buy by force was directly cut in two by them with a battle axe, and his companion did not dare to say a word.

After some bargaining, Li Ran bought these pieces of equipment and distributed some of them to his teammates.

But as they walked around for a while, Li Ran and his teammates also found that the price of materials here was indeed more expensive than other places, on the contrary, some dark demon cores, magic crystals and rare ores were cheaper, so they didn't buy anything next, but just picked some specialties here to take back.

"This is the material trading market, Brother Xia Hou, do you know where the class trading market is here?" After a while, Zhang Debiao, who was a little annoyed from shopping, asked.

At this time, without waiting for Xia Houben to speak, Sun Jianye on the side had already replied: "That trading market is in the west of the city, and we came from there, but I and Brother Xia Hou went to see it last night, although there are many special creatures that have not been seen, but there are no very good troops, and it is the same as here, except for most of the undead and underground world creatures, as well as some dark creatures, the other prices are very expensive."

At the edge of a dark forest. This situation is naturally expected, so after everyone learned that there were no special troops. I had no interest in going to see it again, so I chatted for a while and chose to go back to the camp.

Because when I was in the tavern, I had already made arrangements for the next thing. After separating from Xia Houben and Sun Jianye, Li Ran hurriedly completed the formalities early the next morning, and then rushed to the destination of the mission with the troops and the convoy.

This is an abandoned castle, about two hundred miles away from the previous Banoga City, if Banoga City is still on the edge of the dark forest, then the city is already in the dark forest, fortunately, in addition to them, there are also two strongholds within a few dozen miles of the vicinity, so Li Ran was the first to arrive. So he asked Doric to bring some food and specialties to visit, and he made initial contact with them.

That night, before returning from Doric and Zhang Juan, he briefly told Li Ran about the situation of their trip, one of these two strongholds was located in the northeast of their place, deeper into the dark forest than they were, about 40 miles away from their stronghold, and the other was about 50 miles away from their stronghold.

The leaders of both of these places are the captains of the guards attached to the city of Banoga, and the captain of the stronghold who goes deeper into the Dark Forest than them is a lord. Because he is a multi-headed lizard knight, the most troops in the stronghold are of this type, with about two thousand in number, and the captain behind them is a barbarian chieftain. In addition to more than a thousand minotaur warriors, there were also hundreds of centaur marauders.

For those on the front lines of war, war can happen at any time. The two captains who woke up in the morning and didn't know if they could sleep peacefully at night could come to a neighbor with more than 5,000 high-level troops. Especially when this guy was still in his own group, both of them expressed great welcome. Even when accepting the gifts, he asked Doric and Zhang Juan to bring back some return gifts.

Looking at the gifts brought back by the two, Li Ran smiled and said, "It seems that our luck is not bad, we met two good neighbors as soon as we came."

So next on the original building, Li Ran first sorted out the resting place for the soldiers, which took two full days, and at the same time made arrangements for taking turns to be on guard.

As Tang Zhi, who was traveling with him, began to scout the nearby intelligence with more than a dozen scouts and horned eagle beasts, Li Ran also planned the general situation of the construction with the help of Doric and his teammates.

In order to be just in case, the completion rate of the task could not meet the requirements of the military and political lords, so Li Ran waved his hand and decided to tear down all the buildings that were in a semi-abandoned state that were already crumbling, and rebuild a castle-level town territory.

It took a few days for Li Ran to bring these warriors and more than a thousand residents who had already mastered the skills of production and construction to clear all the abandoned buildings, of course, all the defensive buildings were temporarily preserved, such as the decaying wooden walls and sentry towers.

According to the previous plan, at noon that day, Xia Houben led 500 giant warriors, with a large number of convoys and some production technicians, arrived here in time, just without delaying the progress of the project.

With their previous experience in building town territories, the 2,000 or so inhabitants of the city who had mastered production and construction were quickly able to get started, and under the leadership of experts hired from the city of Edoron, they first built the defense system and the warriors' dwellings.

Looking at the busy scene in front of him, and knowing from the intelligence of Tang Shi and the scouts that he had not found any dangerous situations nearby, Li Ran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this time, as long as he was given another ten days, after the defensive structure was perfected, he would be more confident to complete this mission.

"Lord Doric, I didn't see anyone last time, this time when you and Zhang Juan went to collect the stones, I have to trouble you to go to Count Staunt again, no matter whether that matter can be negotiated or not, at least let him know that we are here" Li Ran turned to look at Doric on the side at this time and said.

Knowing that Li Ran was talking about the exchange of Syr warriors, Doric couldn't help but nodded and said: "When I went over last time, Count Stant's guard said that he went to Latia City to report to Duke Sells, and it should be almost back in time, I will go again this time, hoping to bring back some good news to Lord Lord."

Li Ran smiled and said: "This matter is not something you and I can control, just do your best, and you must be careful on the way back and forth, your safety is the best news for me."

For such a long time, whether it is the income and expenditure of large sums of money or the exchange of batches of troops, his lord has never doubted him, and even if he sometimes deducts some money to supplement the families of his former teammates, he also turns a blind eye and never asks, it can be said that he trusts to the extreme, which is also the thing he is most proud of after dedicating his loyalty, and it is one of the reasons why he has taken the initiative to ask his family for help for the affairs of the territory many times, so hearing Li Ran's words at this time, Doric couldn't help but be a little moved. (To be continued.) )
