Chapter 884: Strategic Shift
But because of this, Li Ran has also become a thorn in the eyes of some people, the most obvious of which is the place he chose in the capital, which has been inexplicably attacked by a group of people in the past few days, and even the construction workers have several casualties, and in the end, no one dared to accept Zhou Xun's commission.

As for this matter, Li Randao didn't care about it, he didn't plan to set a fixed point there, and it didn't matter if the Marquis's Mansion was built sooner or later, but for the matter of the Endless Snow Demon Cave, he mentioned it in the bill the day after he came back.
After some planning, considering the current situation, it was inconvenient for Li Ran to leave for so long, so he had to send Xia Houben, Zhou Tong, Niu Yue Dance and others, not counting the 80,000 soldiers and horses in Balis City, and transferred 70,000 elite soldiers from Thun City to carry out the first tentative attack on the demon plane.
And here in the city of Thun, after Li Ran set out for this army, he held a meeting to discuss and determine a series of personnel appointments, including the appointment of Zhou Xun as acting consul, Doric as the administrator, Morga as the construction officer, Cai Chang as the inspector, Burrena as the financial officer, Wu Tongtong as the armament officer, etc., and even the road chief and the grain management officer were all in charge.
At the same time, Li Ran also appointed the administrators of several other territories and cities as consuls of their respective territories, and at the same time carefully divided the commanders of each legion, so Li Ran decided to rebuild the city of Thun and build it into a real large city.
And in order to complete this huge project, the teammates and people of all races who were originally hard to be idle are naturally busy again, but fortunately, there is a continuous supply of materials from the underground world, and it is only a matter of time.
In this way, more than two months have passed in the third world, and when Li Ran's side seems to be developing in a good direction, the news of the death of the imperial king suddenly came on this day, which made Li Ran's heart suddenly tighten.
It was also on this day that after two defeats in the demon plane, Xia Houben once again reported the news of defeat, but fortunately, Li Ran learned about the situation of the demon clan here.
It turns out that this known demon plane is not too wide, in addition to having hundreds of thousands of hell legions, the main reason for Xia Houben's failure this time is the intervention of those soul prisoners, these guys come secretly in the middle of the night every time, and after controlling a part of the warriors, let them carry out suicidal attacks, which makes Xia Houben and others have no way to deal with it.
Fortunately, after Li Ran learned of this situation, after sending all the mastiff-headed envoys and archangels over, this situation was finally resolved, and at the same time, after Li Ran sent some high-level troops, he strictly ordered Xia Houben and others to solve the battle there as soon as possible and transfer all the troops back, because with the death of the king, he had a hunch that there was not much time left for him.
And as a marquis, such a major event as the death of the king, Li Ran must also pass, so at noon that day, he took Wu Tongtong and others and some guards to the capital again through the teleportation array.
Here, Li Ran was once again harassed by a group of city lords and nobles led by the Marquis of Geist, but with his mental preparation, Li Ran stayed with the Marquis of Nicararo and others every day, plus this is the capital, even if the Marquis of Geist and others wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble, they couldn't find a reason, after the seven-day funeral, Li Ran thought about it and decided to go to the Marquis of Pamela to condole when he left.
Seeing the Marquis of Territh visiting in person, the female marquis couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and at the same time, after a deep conversation, Li Ran also learned her secret, it turned out that this woman was actually the private daughter of the king's early years of adventurers, when he was still an adventurer, and a noble lady had an affair, and this matter was only known to the military and political chief and a few of the king's cronies.
As for the fact that he killed her husband, the reason was that his husband cooperated with Mednaqi and others to murder her own father, which caused her to kill him by mistake.
Unexpectedly, this female marquis, who has always been controversial and ridiculed, has such a miserable life, if it weren't for the fact that she is at a low point in this life now, Li Ran's timely arrival opened her heart, maybe she would never tell others about it.
It was precisely with such a detailed discussion that the relationship between the two seemed to be much closer, and the marquis was sad after that. also revealed to Li Ran the recent situation of some of the three major dukes and some big names, which made Li Ran feel a little more confident in his heart.
And on the third day of his return to Thun City, the news of victory finally came from Xia Houben's side, according to Li Ran's strategy, under the condition that the Mastiff Divine Envoy and the Archangel restrained the other party's Soul Prisoner Demon, their army and this hell army finally won a big battle, except for a few who ran away and hidden, the only hell castle here also fell into their hands.
At this point, in the Endless Snow Region, this giant ore vein, which is habitually called the Demon Cave by the locals, has finally become their territory.
After ordering Zhou Xun to send nearly 10,000 dwarven miners over, Li Ran also asked this legion to return as soon as possible, and at the same time, in order to stabilize the situation of the demon plane, Li Ran sent the Dance of the Button Moon, which is a profession of the hell race, to manage it.
As for these captured Hell Clan troops, Li Ran also left only a few elite legions, including a top-level tyrant army of nearly 5,000 people and a super-level hell war horse of about 2,000 people, and some prisoner soul demons, which were handed over to Zhou Tong and Niu Yue Dance for control, and the others were all sold or exchanged for troops to deal with the next possible crisis.
At noon that day, she suddenly received a message from Yiye Qiuyu, Wei Juan hurried to Vita Belvedere again, and couldn't help laughing happily when she looked at the dozens of legendary demon talismans in her hand.
"With so many legendary talismans, this time we can open the auction again" Wei Juan muttered, and then he turned to look at Yiye Qiuyu and asked, "This guy has finally made a big move, how many high-level archers does he want this time?" ā
Hearing the boss's question, Yiye Qiuyu shook his head and said, "He said this time that he didn't want a class, but he wanted us to do a favor."
"No troops?" Hearing this, Wei Min asked a little strangely, "What do you want us to help with?" ā
Yiye Qiuyu replied: "They know that we have two unions and want us to help participate in a battle, as for the loss of troops, they can compensate in full, as for these legendary talismans, they will be counted as compensation for the loss of the rank of the personnel."
"Engage in a fight?" Wei Min pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "They shouldn't want to attack the city, right?" (To be continued.) )
