No matter how lengthy the war is, there will be a time when it will come to an end, just like the current Holy Falcon Alliance and the Saranca Empire, after months of confrontation and battle between the three major fortresses, it seems that this is also the time to end.

However, from the moment of any war, it was decided that there would be only one winner, but this time the winner did not belong to the Holy Falcon Alliance, as one of the largest battles in the region in decades had been unprecedented.

At this time, looking at the bleak scene on the way to escape in front of him, Li Ran also sighed slightly in his heart.

Fortunately, after a crushing victory, the Saranca Empire's side may now be resting its forces after chasing them out of a distance, preparing to take down the two major fortresses of the Holy Lance and the Green Sea with all their might, so everyone also escaped with their lives, some of them rushed to the two major fortresses, hoping to rely on the defense there to resist the attack of the barbarians, and some directly bypassed the fortress and fled to the territory of the alliance, thinking that in this case, the two major fortresses could not protect their own safety, and entering there could only be a dead end.

And among these people, including Li Ran's side sandwiched inside, after a few days of escape, Li Ran also followed one of the people and arrived at a medium-sized city in the alliance for a temporary rest, but after arranging his soldiers, he came straight to a very low mage tower in this city, and under the guidance of a guard, he went up to the top floor here.

Unlike the dilapidated Mage Tower, this parlor on the top floor has a lavish interior, including several huge frescoes of sulfur on the walls, which are worth a lot of money at a glance.

However, Li Ran's attention at the moment was obviously not in these aspects, staring at a person in a black robe inside, and after seeing the guard close the door just now, this person also turned around and walked up slowly.

"I was just wondering, who will Lord Faidunmar send to contact me this time?" After this person turned around and lifted his long hat, Li Ran also smiled and said, "I didn't expect it to be Lord Appius who came here in person, this is really my honor."

Judging from his appearance, this is just an ordinary-looking Terran warrior, but Li Ran knows that this guy who often follows behind Feyton Marr and seems to be just a guard is actually one of the seven followers who followed this legendary duke and accompanied him out of the endless abyss.

It seemed that because of the expression that he hadn't smiled for a long time, when he heard Li Ran's words, this Appius tried to put on a more natural expression, and said while handing over a letter to Li Ran: "My lord asked me to give this to you, saying that you will know what to do after reading it."

After taking the document, Li Ran opened it and asked seemingly casually: "Are my soldiers okay now?" ”

In this regard, Appius also nodded immediately and said: "On this point, you can rest assured, the 100,000 soldiers and horses you handed over to the lord have been handed over to us in several batches, and there have been no major casualties, and the lord has also said that he will arrange for them to be delivered to you as soon as possible."

Oh, Li Ran also nodded slightly, since the last time he saw the true information of Vertonmar in the Holy Lance Fortress, he transferred all the troops that he had increased for the decisive battle to this person's legion, and for the Duke of Vertonmar, who fought on his own territory and had a large number of super-rank and below-rank legions, it was not difficult to hide and preserve these tens of thousands of troops.

It can be said that in the previous decisive battle between the Holy Falcon Alliance and the Saranca Empire, although his side seemed to have suffered heavy casualties, in fact, most of the dead were the regular troops he entrusted to Duke Verton Marr to exchange from other places, and as for his main army and core troops, his side did not suffer many casualties.

If you count the fact that before the decisive battle, the Duke of Fortonmar deliberately arranged him in his own command camp and took care of them on the day of the decisive battle, so after this seemingly tragic war, he also retained the vast majority of the troops on his side, but in order not to attract the attention of others, he also divided these soldiers and horses into several batches and handed them over to Xia Houben and Tang Zhi to lead separately when he was fleeing, I believe that in a few days, they should come to join them.

The moment he opened the letter, Li Ran was extremely serious, although he could guess the next arrangement of the Duke of Fortonmar, but when it came to the specific implementation, there was no room for any mistakes, because every next step might be related to his fate on the battle map, and he could not afford the slightest mistake.

"Lord Appius, do you know the current situation of the elite legions of the capitals?" Knowing the identity of this person, Li Ran also asked directly while reading the letter and burning it.

To this question, this Appius also replied: "When I came here, I heard that except for the City of Dawn, several other countries have completed the assembly, and I think that I have already begun to set off."

"I believe that in this way, the major capitals should not dare to have any reservations," and Li Ran also continued to ask: "Then do you know where the meeting point chosen by the Supreme Council is?" ”

Knowing what Li Ran meant, this Appius shook his head and said: "Because the matter is urgent, the specific location of the meeting point has not been issued for the time being, but in our lords' minds, this location is likely to be in the Dark Moon Fort, because it is the only place suitable for large-scale marching from the Inner Asia Mountains into the territory of the Alliance, so the Dark Moon Castle is also known as the last line of defense of the Holy Falcon Alliance."

Hearing this, Li Ran also nodded slightly, from the letter he had just seen, he had vaguely guessed something, and then chatted with this person for a while, especially in the face of this sudden fiasco, after the reactions and situations of the alliance countries, Li Ran also left here, and directly led the team to leave the next day, walking straight towards a coordinate on the map.

After several days of marching, Li Ran finally arrived at the target location, and from the outside, this is just an ordinary small town-level territory, but after seeing Li Ran coming, the city lord here did not seem to be surprised, and after going out of the city to personally introduce them in, he then directly ordered someone to close the city gate.

In Vertunmar's letters, Li Ran knew that this was a fief of one of his subordinates, and to make this Vertunmar so trusted, Li Ran also knew very well in his heart that this seemingly ordinary Terran baron would definitely not be as simple as his appearance.

So for this person, Li Ran was also very polite, and wanted to extract information from his mouth many times, but this person was very cautious, in addition to being busy with the arrangements, he was pretending to be deaf and dumb many times, and he showed no idea in the face of Li Ran's questions.

A few days later, Xia Houben and others came with their troops one after another, and this small city was obviously specially transformed, even when Li Ran's strength rose rapidly to more than 300,000, the military camp here was enough for everyone to live and live, and even all kinds of training facilities were quite perfect, but most of them were built underground, which shows that the legendary duke has obviously been preparing for many years in this matter.

In addition, after being here for a while, Li Ran also saw that this place, which seemed to be just a small town-level territory, was actually the Duke of Fortonmar's secret garrison, including this city lord and his legion, although they looked inconspicuous from the outside, they were actually real warriors.

Roughly calculated, there are 100,000 powerful warriors here, and at the same time, Li Ran also believes that a town like this will definitely not be the only one in the hands of Duke Vertunmar.

"Hatred! Sometimes it is the root of all motivation! Looking at everything in front of him, Li Ran couldn't help but sigh lightly and said.

On the other hand, Li Ran also gradually learned about the development of the situation during this period of time through various channels, including the information sent by the Duke of Fortonmar.

After the unexpected defeat of the previous decisive battle, even the two major fortresses of the Holy Lance and the Green Sea had to be lost one after another, and the cumulative loss of troops on the side of the alliance was as high as more than two million, and the noble lords were also suffering heavy casualties, including even the six dukes including Baird, one of the legendary three dukes, it was a sudden disaster for the entire Holy Falcon Alliance!

In addition, as expected by Fortonmar, after learning of the defeat ahead, the seven empires in shock were also for self-protection, and after urgently convening a supreme council of the alliance, they decided to resist the invasion of the Saranka Empire.

As the last line of defense into the territory of the Holy Falcon Alliance! At this time, everyone knew very well that this place could not be lost, and once it was broken again, the barbarian warriors of the Saranka Empire would drive straight into the hinterland of the alliance, so that except for the distant empire of Reydor, the other six countries could be devastated by the Saranca Empire.

As far as the Saranca Empire is concerned, the elites who had hidden so many before finally waited for this decisive battle to eliminate the main legion of the Holy Falcon Alliance in one fell swoop with a surprise attack, and its intention was also very obvious, that is, to eliminate the Holy Falcon Alliance in one fell swoop, so everyone also understood that this battle related to the life and death of the two empires was far from over!
