Chapter 1067: Border Storm
In addition, coupled with a series of changes and expansions of other legions, it has to be said that after more than half a year of comprehensive upgrading, although almost all of Li Ran's savings have been spent, with his current strength, if it were not for the long battle line and the need to divide troops in many places, he could almost confront the most powerful medium-sized empire head-on, and even some weaker large empires, Li Ran dared to compete with them for a long time.

But because the battle line is too long, mainly the defense of the stronghold in the Sunset Mountains, as well as the in-depth exploration of the endless snow region, including the research and defense of the floating castle on the side of the dark forest, plus the necessary development of several other territorial cities, Li Ran has never dared to act rashly even if he has such strength now.
Fortunately, through the efforts of most of the year, they have re-established more enhanced teleportation channels in these major cities except for the Sunset Mountains, including the floating castle far away in the dark forest.
The completion of the enhanced teleportation channel not only reduces the cost of single transmission a lot, but also increases the number of troops transmitted in an emergency, and even the information spreads faster.
More importantly, the completion of the enhanced teleportation channel between the cities and territories has reduced the overall defensive pressure on Li Ran's side a lot, and it is also convenient for Li Ran to deploy troops more boldly in the future.
In addition, the most critical issue is the time to go to the Sunset Mountain Range, which is not only related to the defense of the stronghold over there, but also directly related to Li Ran's mobilization of high-level troops, for which Li Ran also asked Zhou Xun and others to put some effort into it.
Speaking of which, I have to say that the three Egyptian players that Li Ran and Zhao Lanlan met by chance last time, Li Ran didn't embarrass them at that time, and he just had the attitude of trying it out, but he didn't expect that they really had some connections in the local area, and it was with their help and contact that Zhou Xun talked to some senior officials in the main city of the desert.
Although during this period, their side has also spent a lot of gold coins, but with the delivery of various gifts and gold coins, they can be regarded as reaching a good relationship with the management of this desert main city, and the other party has preliminarily agreed to open a teleportation coordinate directly to their Tyre City, just wait for the next step for them to maintain and dredge a good relationship, at most to make the relationship between the two sides closer, and then they can receive their royal mage to confirm the opening of the coordinates.
Of course, in the past half a year, in addition to comprehensively upgrading the troops and training these legions, Li Ran has not been idle, in addition to transporting a large number of rare materials obtained from the Sunset Mountain Range to Tyre City, and turning them into equipment in the hands of many dwarven high-level craftsmen, improving their strength.
Li Ran also let Shadow Blade lead his troops to open up the western forest of the dead and obtain more special products of the ghost mushroom, and sent troops to fully capture three of the known seven layers of space in the Iorfu underground world, including the previous Baroryan Demon Disnaik and the Great Lord of Garrera who died in battle.
In addition to the two layers of space above where the Barloyan Demon Disnaik and the battle-dead Galella were located, as for the other layer of space, it was the spatial plane controlled by the True Phantom Snake Clan that was personally led by the Marquis of Wu Enfeyes, the lord of the Undead City, and personally commanded by Li Ran.
It is also precisely because of the capture of these three layers of hell space plane, as well as the capture of a large cemetery in the Forest of the Dead, that Li Ran was able to obtain some troops while barely scraping up the cost of this comprehensive upgrade of troops, otherwise even if he fought continuously in the early stage and obtained huge benefits, he may not be able to support him to complete this comprehensive upgrade.
And even so, in order to complete this upgrade, Li Ran still sold all the troops except for the Barranca clan and some undead high-level troops, including those who are extremely powerful True Phantom Snake Clan, at that time, not only Li Ran struggled with this for several days, but even the teammates were all amazed when they saw the abilities of those True Phantom Snakes, which also shows how amazing the cost of this comprehensive army upgrade is.
At the same time, during this period of time, Li Ran also let Tang Shi and Qian Hui on the side of the Sunset Mountain Range capture several more desert oases one after another, connecting the desert oases between the Sunset Mountain Range and the main desert city, so that when needed, the time required for large-scale troop mobilization could be effectively reduced.
As for the next step, Li Ran still wants to make this desert main city, it is best to open his teleportation array at the border of the Sunset Mountain Range or even the stronghold, but according to their taboo about the Sunset Mountain Range, and considering the special problem of the forbidden area space, the former alone is no longer something that can be solved by intimacy, so it can only be left for later to be solved slowly.
Therefore, it was for this reason that Li Ran stayed in Thiel City for nearly two months, that is, about half a month in reality, until the teleportation array leading to the main city of the desert was finally opened on this day, and after attaching a large number of precious gifts and gold coins and sending away the archmages who came from the main city of the desert, Li Ran finally took action and began to continuously transfer troops back to Tyre City.
Seeing Li Ran act like this, a group of teammates who had been following him for a while didn't know that there was another big move this time, plus there were still some battles to fight during this time in addition to Shadow Blade and Xia Houben, and they were really suffocated, so they ran to Li Ran and dangled around, for fear that he would not bring himself with him in this action.
Among them, Wei Zixun was the most direct, on the day she learned that Li Ran was going to make a big move, she slipped away from the expedition team in the Endless Snow Region, and then ran back through the teleportation array, and sat down next to Li Ran, who was deploying tasks for a group of teammates.
Fortunately, in the afternoon meeting, Li Ran officially announced the plan of action to his teammates and the leaders and elders of various clans, including the commanders of the major legions appointed earlier, that is, to take advantage of the events of last month to start with the Kruyard Empire, strive to obtain some benefits from them, and pave the way for future development.
"I said how come some of Kruyard's troops in the last few months have been indifferent to the proximity to their border strongholds? It turns out that I've been holding back the bad" After listening to what Li Ran said, Wei Zixun couldn't help but glance at Li Ran and said in a low voice.
Because of the people present, she and Li Ran have less to do with their interests, and even the dividends that Li Ran distributes every few months, she only takes a symbolic little, plus she usually has a more casual personality in the third world, so she is usually the most stress-free when communicating with Li Ran.
But on the other hand, as a woman who is very intellectual and rigorous in reality, she also knows that on this occasion, especially in front of so many tribal leaders and elders, some words cannot be said explicitly, so the tone at this time was only heard by Wu Tongtong and Cai Chang and others around her.
However, at this time, everyone who could be called by Li Ran at this time, including those leaders and elders, were also smart people, except for a few barbarian warriors who were only good at fighting, most of them also thought of this, but they didn't dare to speak like Wei Zixun, but instead looked at the adult who looked at them with admiration, thinking that he was planning first.
"My lord, in this case, should we say hello to the capital first?" At this time, Doric on the side couldn't help but ask.
In this regard, Li Ran glanced at him and nodded and said: "I was about to tell you about this, this matter may have to trouble you to go for a long time, but don't be in such a hurry this time, when we send troops that day, you can go that day, if the king asks, just say that the Cruyard Empire invaded the territory of my empire for no reason, and I, as a prince, have rushed to expel foreign enemies as soon as I learned about it, and I am willing to protect the dignity of my Khan Rock Empire with my life!" ”
Hearing Li Ran say this, not only did Doric smile slightly and say that he knew, but many people present showed a knowing smile, and to this day, they all knew in their hearts that with their current strength, the royal family in the capital was more like a nominal boss to them, and saying this was just to give them a face.
But if the lord didn't say anything for a day, they didn't dare to talk about anything, and they clearly remembered that three months ago, because they couldn't get used to a self-righteous messenger from the capital, they humiliated him, and even the first Minotaur leader Saquill, who followed the lord, was hung by this lord for a whole day, and even at this time he was punished to stand outside to guard the gate, if the others were afraid that they would have been cut down a long time ago.
After waving his hand and stopping everyone's discussion, Li Ran also opened his mouth to ask Zhou Xun about the progress of logistics and materials.
And after learning that everything would be ready in three days, Li Ran also looked at him and said: "In order to prepare for emergencies, in addition to the existing materials and military rations, in the next step, you had better send someone to the Qingxiong Territory and the Elf Territory, and try to transport another batch of military rations from there."
Hearing Li Ran's words, the leaders, including Duan Bo and others, may not have felt anything, but Zhou Xun and Wu Tongtong, including Cai Chang and Cao Dayong and others, were shocked in their hearts.
Although it seems to be said casually, but out of their understanding of Li Ran, they know the true meaning of this sentence, it seems that this time is not just a simple matter of border competition and deterrence, I am afraid that the goal that these people present are guessing in their hearts at this time is not the real plan in Li Ran's heart at all, because they who have followed Li Ran for the longest time deeply know what a crazy heart there is under this person's calm appearance.
