Chapter 398: The Vampire Count

It was a crushing wave of attacks, with the bison and the ankylosaurus breaking up the opposing team, which was a mixture of a large number of low-level troops, some zombies and walking corpses, followed by hundreds of ninth-order sulfur steel golems and fifty lowest-eleventh giant warriors, followed by hundreds of other Modo warriors who were known for their ferocity, and in an instant, the undead army was harvested like weeds.

As soon as the remaining two hundred or so vampires were about to fight back, they were besieged by the Leopard Race warriors, who were also agility troops, two or three levels higher, and the newly equipped Leopard Race warriors were undoubtedly a nightmare for these seventh-order vampires. Under the steel claws of these leopard people, most of these ordinary vampire warriors don't even have a chance to fight back. Both the rank and the weapon assembly are all taken to death.

At this time, the vampire count on the high platform couldn't wait any longer, and after sending another two hundred vampires, he hurriedly ordered the dark knights to attack, but as soon as they rushed out of the gate, what was waiting for them was a disgusting sticky web flying down, and it turned out that at some point, the spider web golem also took advantage of the chaos to blend into the battlefield.

When they finally broke free from this disgusting sticky net, they found that they had missed the last chance, and under the attack of nearly seven hundred middle and high-level warriors in turn, the undead troops who could still stand on the field were also Liao Liao.

To the surprise of these dark warriors and vampires, before they could attack, they saw that the opposing team suddenly gave way from the middle, and nearly two hundred high-level minotaurs who had already launched a charge appeared in front of them.

Half of the nearly two hundred dark warriors had fallen in one charge, and although the vampires dodged quickly, the result was already predestined, and they fell to the ground after being besieged by nearly seven hundred high-level melee fighters for less than a few minutes, and some vampires even began to surrender.

By this time, the war had come to an end, even though the vampire count still had two hundred vampire men. There were some high-ranking vampires among them, and thirty ghost cavalry, but he knew he didn't have a chance. At this time, the outcome has been decided, and as a noble vampire count, how can he do something that is dead. That's just the behavior of stupid humans and lowly savages.

Despite his defeat, the vampire count stepped down gracefully. Accompanied by some panicked subordinates, he came to Li Ran.

"Dear hero, I didn't expect your subordinates to be so heroic, I wonder what price I have to pay next to let you spare these children of mine? And what to do with me, the defeated lord? The vampire count looked at Li Ran and said.

Li Ran thought for a while and said: "As the price of the war, they will follow me to fight for me in the future, and what to do with you, I will leave this decision to you to decide."

In the end, after some discussion, the vampire count left behind 5,000 gold coins. As soon as his body turned into a bat and left, Li Ran also waved his hand to the archers who hurriedly drew their bows and let him go.

"Brother Ran, why did you let him go? This is a thirteenth-order top-level class" Seeing this, everyone gathered around, and Zhang Debiao asked curiously.

Li Ran looked at everyone and explained: "A top-level class is indeed worth a lot, but didn't he give 5,000 gold coins to buy life money?" And most importantly, there is a Grand Duke above this vampire count, which is beyond the sixteenth order. If he is forcibly taken prisoner. I'm afraid I'll cause the Grand Duke to be angry, after all, with our current strength, we can't afford it. And if he himself is unwilling to give in, he will even rekindle the flames of war, the vampires will be easier, and the other undead classes will not die, although we will definitely win, but there will definitely be casualties. And I can't capture so many people, since I can't take advantage of it. Then why should we offend a vampire duke for the sake of a thirteenth-order class?"

Everyone suddenly realized, looked at Li Ran with some admiration, turned around and continued to clean up the battlefield and rescue the wounded. By the time everything was counted, it was already evening.

Night in the underground city. There is a completely different scenery from the outside world, and the white light above the head fades to reveal a hint of dreamy blue, making the whole territory quiet and clear. In addition, flying insects like fireflies fly around from time to time, except for a skeleton that emerges from the building from time to time, reminding that this is a city of the undead, and everything here is as beautiful as a dream.

I have to say that the vampires are an elegant family, although the buildings here uphold the order of the undead, but the interior decoration is extremely gorgeous, sitting in the spacious and magnificent conference hall, Li Ran listened to everyone's reports.

In addition to the basic information of the territory building, from the information reported by Wu Tongtong, Li Ran learned that the middle-level mage with the heaviest casualties this time, although he had the protection of the sulfur steel golem and rescued a few afterwards, there were still 17 people dead. Elven archers also had 14 deaths. Except for the Zereramo orcs, who did not participate in the battle because they were guarding against the ghost riders, the other races all had their own casualties, but fortunately, the casualties were not large, and they were finally rescued by the priest team led by Zheng Haitao. In addition, there were 24 sulfur steel golems and 6 bison, and the ankylosaurus also had one death, and the most regrettable thing for Li Ran was the giant warrior, who suffered as many as 12 casualties in this battle.

Unlike other races, they tend to avoid powerful giant warriors when fighting, but undead warriors have no fear, and tall and eye-catching giant warriors are their best targets, so the casualties will naturally be greater.

As a reward for the war, this time not only 20,000 gold coins were harvested, but also nearly five tons of refined iron ore and several tons of tungsten steel ore, and nearly 200 catties of mercury. There are also some other materials. As the main food for the undead, this time the seizure is strange, in addition to the skeleton soldiers, dark warriors and ghost cavalry required by various magic cores and crystals, in addition to a large number of witch corpses, walking corpses and zombies to eat meat pieces, in addition to a lot of fresh melons and fruits and stored beasts, should be vampire food.

In terms of captives, in addition to nearly 600 low-level skeleton warriors and a few skeleton archers, a total of 300 walking corpses and zombies were obtained as mid-level troops, 340 ordinary mid-level vampires, 57 high-level vampire barons, and 4 twelfth-order viscounts. 6 high-level necromancers. There are also 78 Tier 10 Dark Warriors and 30 Tier 11 Ghost Cavalry.

Li Ran thought for a moment, at this time, his teammates Shadow Blade and Sun Jianye were all undead clans, so he decided to leave some troops behind.

The situation here is not very clear, just in case, Li Ran decided to leave only a part of the personnel, first transport the relevant materials back to the territory, and at the same time send scouts to continue to expand the search area.

The next day, the group returned to the surface territory with many convoys, and at this time, in addition to Shadow Blade, Sun Jianye and Cai Chang remained in the City of the Dead. In addition to hundreds of mid-level vampires, there are also 200 skeleton warriors, and more than a dozen flame warriors led by Cai Chang.

Of course, the leader of the scouts, Hisstein, was also here, but at this time, he was following Li Ran's order to take 20 of his subordinates to investigate the interior of the underground world.

It wasn't until the fifth day that the scout leader Histan finally returned to the territory, but the news he brought back made Li Ran bittersweet, and within a radius of hundreds of kilometers they scouted, they found several minerals that could be mined.

But at the same time, they discovered two more cities, but this time they found not all of them were graveyards of the dead, one of them was an underground city belonging to the dungeon forces that worshipped the dark dragon god. Moreover, it is a large village and town, in addition to a large number of caveman warriors, there are also nearly a thousand mid-level dark elf warriors and 500 Medusa, and there are about 600 high-level minotaurs underground. Because I'm afraid of attracting the attention of the Harpy. So there was no detailed investigation.

The other graveyard of the dead is of medium strength, in addition to a large number of skeleton warriors, the main class is ghost riders, with a total of more than 800 horses, and there are nearly 1,000 mid-level ghosts and banshees. The lords are two thirteenth-order terror knights.

With the existing strength of the territory, it should be okay to defend the Graveyard of the Dead with all its might, but it is obviously a little insufficient to face another dungeon force, Li Ran thought silently in his heart. However, at this time, it was the dungeon force that was closest to them.

That is the case, the cemetery of the dead can only be a stronghold now, at the meeting that night, Li Ran discussed with everyone and decided to allocate a large number of people to enter the mining, and the raw ore of refined iron and tungsten steel brought back last time has been turned into finished materials in the past few days, after the dwarven craftsmen have worked overtime, and have saved a lot of money for the construction of the living hall and the mage tower in the territory.

Without further ado, early the next morning, Xia Houben and Zhou Xun entered the underground world with a hundred dwarves and five hundred residents, along with the old village chief Morga. The purpose of their trip was to use the occupied cemetery as a base as soon as possible, and to build a quarry and a fine iron mining plant in the early stage. (To be continued......)
