Chapter 964: Ambushed
And the reason why they are so confident is because they know very well in their hearts that this seemingly ordinary dark castle is actually a real ancient ruin castle, especially the inner city that can garrison tens of thousands of soldiers, all of which are made of a strange material, even the most ordinary city walls outside, even if they are large siege weapons, they can't destroy a single bit.

In order to occupy this place, it took them several years in the face of the dark elves with only 20,000 people, and finally they relied on stratagem to take it, and at this time, in addition to the 70,000 elite soldiers who came over, they also had nearly 50,000 hidden troops here, and it was impossible for the other party to rely on 40,000 people to break them.
And even if they know that the other party has epic-level troops, they are still so confident that there are also those star-breaking crossbows, these are all in order to subdue the King of Moluga before, they spent a lot of money to collect them through secret channels at a high price, it may be a bit of a loss to deal with ordinary troops, but it is the best to deal with these high-level troops, plus their unique castle here, as long as it is not a high-level army of more than 300,000 people, they will not be afraid of any enemy at all.
It can be said that this is another military stronghold carefully built by the Duke of Sells who has guarded the dark forest for decades, and few people knew about it except for the hidden troops here, but this time they had no choice but to retreat here, and they were fortunate to see this strange and special ruins of the castle.
Seeing that everyone was talking for a while, in addition to the high morale, there was no result to be discussed, and Duke Sells also waved his hand to stop the meeting.
And after these people left, it seemed that they knew that Duke Sells had something to say to him, but the man in the robe just now was left alone.
"Is there any information coming from Chigree?" Duke Sells' eyes were fixed on the magic sandbox, but his mouth suddenly asked.
It didn't seem surprising that Duke Sells had such an inexplicable question, and this person immediately replied: "Captain Chigli said in the information that he has initially gained the trust of the other party, but the other party obviously knows our location very well after obtaining the magic sand table of the Marquis of Elisimo, so he didn't dare to do it in the early stage, and now he is leading them to the mutated swamp giants in the gravel pool, I believe that they will be able to meet tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Nodding slightly, at this time, the staring magic sand table Sers turned to look at him and said: "It can rise rapidly in a few years, and now it has obtained so many epic level troops, although there is a fault in the structure of the main army, but I have to say that this Duke of Territh already has the strength of the vast majority of medium-sized imperial dukes, and it is indeed worthy of admiration at this point, but it is ridiculous that our new king still wants to control this person, if it weren't for the last time he only gave fame and fortune and not a good reward, this lord wanted to avoid the edge for a while, Maybe his army should have gone to the capital this time, not to my dark forest."
At this time, the man in the robe also said with a sigh of gratitude: "I really didn't expect this lord to go out and get so many high-level troops, I heard that he went to the Sunset Mountain Range, and it is not easy to survive there, let alone bring back so many high-level troops."
In response, Sels smiled bitterly and said, "Remember when we went to the Burning Sun Canyon twenty years ago? I didn't expect us to fail, but this Lord Terryth did."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man in a robe also showed a look of reminiscence, and after a long while, he said: "How can you forget, at that time, the thirteen of us also had the idea of getting some good troops, and risked our lives to go there, never thought that in less than a month, not only thousands of high-level soldiers were all killed, but the thirteen of us except for you and my eldest brother, I have half a life left."
Speaking of this, both of them sighed, and after a long while, the man continued: "But you still have to be more careful this time, whether it is luck or not, since this Duke of Terreth can come out alive in the Sunset Mountain Range and bring back so many high-level troops, his strength will definitely not be too bad."
Speaking of this, the man looked at Sells and said: "And although we have been developing this ruins castle for several years, it has been still in the surface stage, except for the most basic defensive functions, everything else is still unusable, so it is not of much use except for the city to be stronger, and although the mutant swamp giant is also difficult, but in addition to allowing this lord to lose some troops, it is obviously impossible to destroy this army, if this lord retreats, it will be forgotten, But once this person dares to come over, I believe there will definitely be a follow-up move, after all, those epic troops we encountered last time are just those who stayed in the city after he left for the battle."
Knowing what this person meant, Duke Sells also nodded and said: "I have worked hard for you in the past few years, and I am naturally prepared for the rest, I have asked Zaquin to bring people over yesterday, as long as they meet the swamp giant, Zaquin should be able to expand the results of the battle, if they dare to come over like this at that time, I don't mind leaving this duke of the empire here completely, then the empire will definitely be in chaos, and our chances will be greater."
For Duke Sells's ability, this person is obviously also very convinced, hearing him say this, he also smiled and nodded, but as a brother for many years, he still reminded: "No matter what, you still have to be careful, there were only three of us left in the brothers back then, I know that you still have some resentment about the things back then, but the eldest brother has no choice, after learning about the things here, he was also very worried, and he sent several letters in a row, so let's go over if we can't do it, It would be better to ask him to get us an earl there than we are here."
"Okay, I know this matter, you have been tired for the past two days, go down and rest" However, hearing this, the Duke of Sells, who had always had a calm face, said a little impatiently, and even his tone was inadvertently much louder than before.
Hearing this, the robed, mage-like man couldn't help but sigh a little helplessly, but when he saw Sells turn to look at the magic sand table again, he had to leave here slowly.
On this morning, after the logistics staff put away the camp tents and distributed food, Li Ran's army also slowly moved out again.
Since the Sphinx wolves and some strange beasts patrolled the patrol, they had encountered significantly fewer attacks, and even at night, except for the occasional attack by the native creatures here, the major casualties were no longer there.
"Zhao Lanlan, what means do you use to settle our brother Ran, look at this style, we are going to call your sister-in-law next" It may be that there are fewer attacks, and the teammates are also idle, and when it was almost noon, seeing Li Ran accompanying Xia Houben to the front to inspect, Zhang Debiao couldn't help but look at Zhao Lanlan and said with a smile.
Hearing Zhang Debiao's words, several other teammates also laughed, they could see that since the two of them went online at the same time a few days ago, the relationship was obviously different than before, except for the usual actions, when they went on this expedition, it was clear that Zhao Lanlan was not in the list announced, but as soon as she found Li Ran, the latter smiled and agreed, which was simply impossible before, because when it comes to war, Li Ran has always said the same.
At this time, even Cai Chang laughed and said: "Yes, you just tell us, what kind of medicine did you give our brother Ran, I see that he has laughed a lot more in the past few days, and this time he went on an expedition, don't brag to us that it is your eloquence, if you want to say that nothing happened to the two of you, I don't believe it."
"Don't guess nonsense, I'm eloquent and not blown" Looking at the coaxing crowd, Zhao Lanlan couldn't help but cut off and said: "Besides, just with Miss Ben's appearance, just like him, if you don't hook your hand, you will come without hooking your hand, what kind of medicine do you need?"
Hearing this, everyone who knew her character couldn't help but shake their heads helplessly, while Cai Chang continued to smile and said, "Gotta ~ come on, can you not blow it?" Who will follow Orca to learn city management, and then follow Burrena to learn finance and taxation, and then go to Phantom Bingnan to ask how to make animals obedient, and even finally run to Dubu leisurely, forcing people to teach you to sing, and finally scared people who dare not go online for a few days, just want to have a special ability to attract the attention of our brother Ran! ”
As Cai Chang said these things like a few treasures, and then saw everyone's laughter, Zhao Lanlan finally couldn't help it at this moment, and was about to seal Cai Chang's mouth with her hand, but it attracted even more laughter from everyone.
"All on alert! Get ready for battle! But just as they were laughing, there was a sudden commotion ahead, followed by the loud shouts of the officer, and then they heard a hurried trumpet.
Zhang Debiao said a little nervously: "Why did you even blow the horn?" Doesn't that mean there is no danger around? ”
"Hurry up! Let's go check it out! Cao Dayong, who had been smiling beside him and didn't know anything, hurriedly spoke, and then led the team to run forward.
"Oh no, we're besieged by a bunch of mutant swamp giants, and many of us are being dragged into the swamp"
"Damn, those mercenaries have run away, it looks like we were fooled"
"Don't get too far ahead! It's a swamp."
"Watch out for the left and right, an enemy is coming"
With a rapid voice, in the case of the loss of the front army, the enemy came to the left and right, realizing that the army that was surrounded by them was in chaos, even those warriors who had not yet been attacked, in this oppressive and chaotic dark forest, they did not know what to do for a while.
