Chapter 1188: Antipater
However, at this time, there was another thing that exceeded their expectations, when they thought that they could take this stronghold effortlessly, and then waited for the other party to throw themselves into the net, but they did not expect to encounter resistance at the beginning of the attack, and as the battle went by, in the end, they found more than 100,000 defensive troops in this stronghold.

At this moment, they also knew that they had been fooled, but the other party took the means of hiding soldiers in this defense of the city, and kept letting themselves have a glimmer of hope, and when they finally found out their true strength, the war had lasted for a day.
The reason why they chose to persist here is that with the intelligence from the scouts, although the opposing legion rushed back, it did not return the same way at all, but copied to their own back road, and once they withdrew their troops, their side would undoubtedly face the end of being attacked by the opponent before and after.
I thought that with the strength of my own side, even if the other party has hundreds of thousands of defensive forces, it can capture here before the other party's reinforcements come back, although the casualties will be larger at that time, but as long as the other side is captured, not to mention that the next can easily solve the other party's reinforcements, at least relying on the defensive advantages here, it is no problem to maneuver, and when their own reinforcements arrive, the final winner of this war will belong to himself.
However, at this moment, under the stubborn defense of the opponent's garrison, not only did his side not capture this place as scheduled, but the scouts over there came with the news that the opponent's reinforcements had arrived.
As one of the barbarian lords with the most mines in the Saranca Empire on Roaring Isles, Antipater is not a powerful old duke in the Saranca Empire, although not a powerful one.
thought that an attack was inevitable, but in the end it would end in such an embarrassing ending, until under the attack of the other party, after the guards around him fell one by one, he except for some regret that he did not bring more troops over, but also saw clearly the leader of the invaders who was slowly coming from the smoke of gunpowder.
Judging from his appearance alone, the leader of the invader in front of him was an ordinary-looking Terran man, but from the attitude of the surrounding warriors towards him and the gaze cast at him, Antipater knew that this person was not simple.
"Let me introduce myself first, I am Terryth of the Khan Rock Empire" Looking at the middle-aged barbarian man, Li Ran opened his mouth and asked: "Your Excellency must be the famous Duke of Antipater of the Saranca Empire?" ”
I thought that this trip was very secretive, but I didn't expect this person to call out his name, Antipat couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but the next moment he also snorted and said, "That's right! I am Antipater of Saranca, this time I was negligent, I didn't expect that you are a nobleman of the little Khan Rock Empire would have such a force, what do you want to do, just say it! ”
At this time, Li Ran smiled and said after looking around: "Regarding this matter, I still invite you to my base, let's sit down and talk about it."
Seeing this guy's attitude, Antipater was just about to speak, but Li Ran had already turned his head and left, and under the surveillance of a team of paladins behind him, surrounded by the other party's soldiers and horses, this duke also knew that it was useless to resist, so he had to follow under the leadership of a general in front.
However, what he didn't expect was that after being placed in a station, apart from the meals that were delivered regularly, the previous Prince of Terryth had not seen him for several days, which couldn't help but make him a little depressed.
Fortunately, two days later, in the afternoon, under the guidance of the guards outside the door, Antipater met the Prince of Terryth in a small conference hall, but what he didn't expect was that just as he was about to open his mouth to accuse, he found that in addition to this Territh and several of his guards, he also saw a guy he knew!
"Edith, you filthy three-legged sheep!" At this time, Antipater suddenly smiled and said, "I didn't think you were also arrested."
Seeing Antipater come in, Edith was also a little shocked, although he was captured on the day of the battle, and then he also knew that Li Ran led his troops back to repel Saranca's sneak attack army, but he didn't expect that this sneak attack was actually this guy, it seems that the scale of this war should be far above his expectations.
And after hearing this person's insulting words, the Duke of Edith from Greenom couldn't help but snort coldly and said: "Duke Antipater, please pay attention to your words, if it weren't for the sake of you and me being both prisoners, based on what you just said, I wouldn't mind screwing your head off and sitting on a stool."
"Want to screw my head?" In this regard, Antipatus said disdainfully: "If your Duke of Fortonmar said this, it is almost the same, just you who dare to use knives against women and children? Don't be afraid of being ridiculed by the world when you say it! ”
Although Antipater was unceremonious about this old opponent Edith, at the same time, he also knew that he was a prisoner at the moment, and there was no point in arguing with this guy, maybe it would only cheapen this intruder, so after laughing a few more words, he also looked at Li Ran and said with some dissatisfaction: "I don't know what you think about you specially arresting us and letting us meet now, but I can tell you, you are playing with fire like this now, is it just because of your small Khan Rock Empire, Do you want to be the enemy of our two empires? ”
Hearing his words, without waiting for Li Ran to speak at this time, the Red Dragon Elder Laikas, who was standing aside and transformed into a human race guard, snorted coldly and said, "Bold! How dare a defeated captive speak to an adult like this! If there is any more disrespect, believe it or not, I will eat you in one bite! ”
Although as a captive, some imprisoning spells were also applied to his body to varying degrees, but at this time, in the angry rebuke of Laikas, and the dragon power rushing in their faces, they knew in an instant that the guy in front of them, who seemed to be a human race, should be a transformed ancient dragon.
However, as a barbarian duke of a super-large empire, not to mention his own extraordinary strength, how could the well-informed Antipater be intimidated by such a scene.
But just as he looked angrily at this transformed human Laicas, and wanted to reprimand, Li Ran also smiled and said: "Elder Laikas has a fiery temperament, if you have any gaffes, please forgive the two adults, but if you are playing with fire, this is not worth worrying about Duke Antipat, even if you dare to come here, I am also prepared, I believe that the two adults have already seen this."
Hearing Li Ran say this, although he was unwilling, thinking of the identity of the prisoner at this time, and the fact that their two teams of nearly one million legions were defeated in the hands of the other party, even the Duke of Antipater, who had always been arrogant, could not say anything.
"Prince Terrys, regarding your strength, I believe that at this moment, our two empires have already understood" At this time, Edith from Greenom suddenly took over and said: "However, here, although I am your prisoner, I think it is still necessary to mention to you, what Duke Antipater said just now is a little ugly, but the meaning is almost the same, do you really think that if you defeat the two of us, you will be able to gain a foothold here?" Unfortunately, you're angry with both of us right now."
Although she was a little uncomfortable with this Edith pulling herself up, when the words came to her lips, the Duke of Antipater from the Saranka Empire still endured it and set his eyes on Li Ran.
And after seeing that after he said this, not only did Antipater, a barbaric guy, not dismantle the stage, but even the so-called Prince Terries on the other side fell silent, and did not speak for a long time, Edith, who thought that she had figured out Li Ran's psychology, couldn't help but smile secretly in her heart.
In his mind, this honorary prince of the Khan Rock Empire, although he was okay in terms of strategy and military strength, but that was only relative to them personally, if in terms of overall strength, compared with the Holy Falcon Alliance, they were only equivalent to one of the weaker empires at most, and compared to their Saranka Empire, he was at most a little stronger than his own duke.
According to this calculation, unless this guy is crazy, he will not dare to be an enemy of his own side or the Holy Falcon Alliance, and the reason why he and Antipater are called here at the same time is at most to achieve a piece of the pie on Roaring Island through negotiations.
Thinking of this, the Duke of Edith couldn't help but increase his confidence, and then he looked at Li Ran, cast an anti-guest smile and said: "This Lord Terris, now you can just say it, what are your plans next, I believe that with my and Antipater's status in their respective empires, as long as your request is not too excessive, some things can still be discussed, but I advise you to hurry, because if you wait until our country's army is dispatched, then it will be too late."
It seemed that after thinking for a long time, Li Ran raised his head, and after looking at the two people separately, he also smiled slightly and said: "Presumably, the two adults also know that the real estate of the Khan Rock Empire where I am located is barren and scarce, and this adventure here is just to get some resources here."
Hearing Li Ran say this, his tone became weaker and weaker, although he belonged to two opposing countries, but at this time, Edith and Antipater looked at each other and smiled with such an expression, if it weren't for being a captive at this time, I'm afraid these two would have already opened their mouths to laugh, but despite this, Duke Antipater, who was not good at hiding his heart, couldn't help but cast a trace of contempt at Li Ran and the others.
