Chapter 677: Territory Lost
After noon, with the last half day of the fair, the lords, city lords, and some large mercenary groups finally began to display stronger troops, in addition to most of them are super-level troops, and even a few legendary troops.
And as soon as these troops appeared, they would be taken away by other forces of the same clan at a high price, but even so, Li Ran and the others really saw a lot of good troops, although they were a little excited, but they were shy in their pockets, and Li Ran and the others could only take a look at it.
In the evening, Li Ran visited the city lord of Nairoren, the lord of Rael, and the Count of Marcorio, and after bidding farewell to them, he rushed back to the territory with everyone early the next morning.
Because he had been staying up for a long time, after returning to Thun City, Li Ran hurriedly went offline to rest after handing over all the talismans to Zhou Xun.
I thought that I could sleep for at least ten hours this night, but I didn't expect that not long after I fell asleep, Li Ran's phone rang, and after connecting in a daze, with a few words from the other party, Li Ran hurriedly jumped up, trotted all the way to the virtual warehouse and entered the third world again.
"How could the elven territory be attacked? What about casualties? Hurriedly came to the council hall and saw that the members including Morga and Doric were there, Li Ran asked.
At this time, Zhou Xun hurriedly said: "For the time being, the specific situation is not clear, Shadow Blade, Zhou Tong and Cai Chang have already rushed over, and there may be information coming soon."
Li Ran frowned and said, "Why was it suddenly attacked?" Didn't get any information about it before? ”
Hearing Li Ran's inquiry, Zhou Xun said with some guilt: "A few days ago, there was information from the Yanei bee people, saying that some elf patrols were found in the elf territory, I didn't pay attention to it, and only sent three scouts over, but I didn't expect this to happen."
Li Ran frowned and said, "Then can you identify the attacker now?" ”
Zhou Xun nodded and said, "The scout said that it was an elf tribe, so it should be them."
After thinking for a while, Li Ran then asked, "How many people did they bring with Shadow Blade?" ”
Zhou Xun immediately replied, "There are five thousand people in total, including the six hundred undead cavalry of Shadow Blade himself, as well as two thousand minotaurs and five hundred dark wizards led by Lydia and Kurto. And two thousand Loso heavy attackers"
Hearing this, just as Li Ran was hesitating to lead the troops over in person, he saw the scout leader Histan suddenly running over.
"What's going on over there?" Knowing that he was also sent to the elven territory as soon as possible, Li Ran hurriedly asked.
Seeing Li Ran present. The scout leader panted and said, "Report to the lord, it's not good, the elven territory has been lost."
Hearing this information, everyone, including Li Ran, was taken aback, and the latter hurriedly said, "What about the Shadow Blade Knights?" Where is it now? ”
Histan hurriedly replied, "When I rush back." They are escorting the others who have escaped from the city, and they also ask the lord to send troops as soon as possible, I am afraid that the other party will come out to chase after the siege."
Hearing this, Li Ran immediately waved his hand and began to give orders, ordering the mantis people, silverback demon wolves, Yagang dwarf cavalry, and Zerela barbarian beast cavalry to start assembling.
Fortunately, after learning that the elven territory was attacked, Zhou Xun and the others had already made preparations, and in just a few hours, Li Ran rushed out of the territory with this army of more than 3,000 people.
Because they were all cavalry and high-speed troops, plus they were speeding all the way, it only took more than half a day. Li Ran saw a large number of troops led by Shadow Blade in the distance.
"What about the others?" Li Ran looked around and asked.
Shadow Blade replied: "In addition to Yao Jie and Manager Tao, Qian Hui and Niu Feng were all killed in battle, and the two of them were responsible for taking care of the wounded soldiers in the back, as for Zhou Tong and Cai Chang are now leading people to the back of the palace."
Oh, Li Ran immediately said to Zhou Xun and the others: "You and Team Cao are here to cooperate with the Shadow Blade, try to speed up the movement of the troops, and everyone else will follow me to the back of the palace."
After saying this, Li Ran led the team from the left side of the large army to the rear, although the elf territory was relatively remote because of its remote location, and its own garrison troops were not much. But since the other party was able to capture this place, the overall strength was by no means something that could be defended by just five thousand high-level troops.
Fortunately, as they found Zhou Tong and the others who were already on alert, they learned that they were only being pursued by some elf patrols for the time being, and at this time. The elven guards on the opposite side dispersed in a hurry after seeing that the other party had another reinforcement.
For these people, Li Ran did not send troops to chase and kill, but after retreating a few miles, he found a more dangerous position again to set up defenses.
And with the addition of the mantis warriors, the elven patrols who had regrouped to pursue were also severely hit at this time, between the jungle and the woods. These high-level mantis warriors ruthlessly slaughtered these elves who tried to follow them, and it was not until finally that no elf troops came to follow, Li Ran slowly withdrew his troops and caught up with the large army led by Shadow Blade.
Finally returned to Thun City, in addition to the more than 8,000 people escorted back, after statistics, a total of more than 5,000 middle and high-level warriors were lost this time, and there were as many as 10,000 residents of various races, of which the elves and the Yanei bees accounted for the majority.
Fortunately, Isolda, the original leader of the elf territory, and some of the main personnel were escorted out by Tao Xuemei and others, and among the more than 5,000 troops lost, the high-level war bears, Yanei beemen, and steel shield guards accounted for most of the troops, and there were also 1,500 elf troops.
Now that the matter has happened, it is useless to blame anyone, Li Ran cheered up and asked his teammates and Morga to arrange the residence of these 8,000 people, and then sent the scout leader Histan with more than a dozen of his men to investigate, and at the same time, in order to ensure the accuracy of the information, he asked Shadow Blade and Zhou Tong to also bring some troops over.
A few hours later, that is, on the second day of the Third World, Xia Houben and Wu Tongtong, who got the news, also arrived, and after learning about it, their first reaction was also to be surprised.
"Brother Ran, what should I do now?" Finding Li Ran, Xia Houben hurriedly asked.
Looking at the two of them, Li Ran yawned and said: "It's okay if you come, you have to wait for the news now, for the time being, I only know that it is an elf tribe, and the strength is about 30,000, everything is waiting for Histein's information."
"Thirty thousand!" Hearing this number, Xia Houben and Wu Tongtong were also taken aback, knowing that their total strength in Thun City was only about 20,000 now, which was enough to threaten them here.
Originally, they wanted to ask, but when they saw that Li Ran's spirit was a little bad, the two didn't say more, and after Li Ran explained a few words and went down to rest, they found someone else and asked in detail about the specific situation of this matter. (To be continued.) )
