It may be that the environment is harsh and relies too much on their own abilities to survive, so there are no standard-scale ranged troops in this dark castle dominated by dark elves, so although there are no heavy siege vehicles at this time, the long-range attacks of more than 2,000 elven archers and giant warriors are obviously also damage that these dark creatures cannot bear.

Seeing that the ranged troops on the city wall died heavily under the double blow of the opponent's elven archers and giant warriors, and even the city gate collapsed under the archmage's wall of fire technique, the trapped beast Lydia simply ordered all the warriors to go out of the city to face the battle.

But for Li Ran, who has been anti-guest at the moment, this kind of positional battle is what he is best at, because they have an absolute advantage in terms of strength and numbers, plus the other party has just gone through a big battle, so in just an hour or so, under the constant attack of Li Ran's army, Ladia's army showed signs of defeat, if it weren't for her excellent command ability, this time might be even shorter.

Although the battle itself was very fierce, when Li Ran led the army and successfully seized the opportunity to appear on the periphery of the Dark Castle, the victory was actually already decided.

So when Lydia, who was trying to escape while in the chaos, was escorted over by several female warriors who were detained, Li Ran just smiled and nodded to her and said: "You are an ambitious person, and you are a smart person, so I will only give you one chance, or sign a soul contract to show your loyalty, and from then on become my right-hand man, and follow me to fight in the killing field!" Or I'll kill you right now, so that you can perform a sacrifice and return you to the arms of the dark gods."

Although he guessed that Li Ran would try to surrender her again. But Lydia never thought that the other party didn't give her a second way at all, such as selling her or something. Instead, he said very directly and solemnly that he would kill her.

"Dear Master, your servant Miglas Ladia will be loyal to you for the rest of your life" just counts the time. The clever dark elf sorceress made a decision, bending her knees and kneeling down to Li Ran while offering her loyalty.

Then, with the assistance of Lydia, the dark castle was quickly pacified, including the prisoners of war who had been imprisoned by her, and they were handed over to Li Ran.

It took a week for Li Ran and his teammates to settle everything here, and after transferring half of the troops back, Li Ran asked Doric to go to Norgar City to invite Count Stant.

Maybe he didn't expect Li Ran to capture this castle so quickly, looking at the more than 7,000 high-level troops that Li Ran had prepared for him in the square, Count Staunt said happily: "I have long wanted to take this castle." However, for the long defense line, my forces have been dispersed, after subduing here, I can be regarded as a city-level stronghold in the dark forest, and the defense pressure will be greatly reduced, thank you so much this time, it seems that the empire will soon have another warlike baron, I hope we can cooperate more in the future"

Regarding Count Stant's praise, Li Ran didn't even dare to say it. After some pleasantries, the dark castle and nearly 8,000 high-level troops were officially handed over to the other party.

With the arrival of a large number of Stein's troops, Li Ran also returned to Banoga City with him, and now he only needs to recover the heart of the Syr warrior creature. The deal between them is done.

Because this kind of thing usually needs to be done by a mage, when Li Ran and Xia Houben came over with the three Prophets of Zerella, the Earl was not too surprised. After Li Ran indicated that the three prophets needed a closed space that would not be disturbed, although he was a little curious, he didn't say anything. had nothing to do, so he simply took Li Ran to visit his castle in person. At the same time, I also began to think about how to deal with this guy in front of me if the recovery failed.

However, hours had passed, and the fellows had not yet come out, much to the curiosity of Earl Staunt.

"Shouldn't you have failed to recover it a long time ago, and you're embarrassed to come out and face your lord, right?" After another hour or so, Count Staunt thought to himself with some depression.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the three prophets and the knight of the lord to come out, and just as the reason for the Count of Staunt's justification was on his lips, the knight actually came back to report to the lord that it had been recovered.

Although there was some surprise, it was obviously the best situation to occur, so at this time, Count Staunt hurriedly put on an expression that should be so, and wanted to set up a banquet to entertain the other party, but Li Ran resigned on the grounds that it was too late.

At this moment, the deal, which involved a city and tens of thousands of troops, was finally over, and the result of the deal was a happy one for both sides.

"That Creature Heart is okay" After watching the Earlguard's guard escorting them back to the hotel leave, Li Ran, who had returned to the room, suddenly looked at Xia Houben and the three prophets and asked.

To this, Xia Houben hurriedly replied: "According to the investigation of the three masters, the space of this creature heart has shown signs of collapse, but fortunately, after the fusion of that high-level war bear creature heart, it was successfully recovered, otherwise it is very likely to collapse in the recovery process, but the creature heart of that high-level war bear was consumed for this."

Seeing Li Ran nodded, Tanilov, one of the three prophets, spoke: "Lord Lord, I would like to remind you that although this creature heart is temporarily safe after fusion, it will definitely have to go through a spatial fluctuation if it is put back into our territory, and it may be restored to the previous situation of spatial instability, so my opinion is to wait until we have another at least mid-level creature heart in our hands before it can be placed, in case of unexpected situations, we should also have a precaution."

Knowing what he meant, Li Ran thought for a while and said helplessly: "I didn't expect the situation of this biological heart of Count Staunt to be so bad, then it seems that we have to wait a little longer."

Seeing the lord's depressed expression, the three prophets couldn't help but glance at each other, and then Tanilov suddenly spoke again: "Lord Lord, we haven't used the second War Bear Creature Heart you gave us last time, or use it first."

"Haven't used yet?" Li Ran asked a little puzzled, "Didn't I give it to you a few months ago?" It is said that the integration period has long passed, right? ”

To this, Tanilov hurriedly replied: "The heart of our clan's creatures has reached a bottleneck, so it has not been fused for the time being."

Oh, Li Ran nodded and said: "That's okay, when you go back this time, you will use that mid-level war bear creature heart as a preparation, and place this Syr creature heart as soon as possible, if you don't use it, it's best to use it, if you use it, don't worry, I will definitely make it up for you when I have a chance in the future" (To be continued.) )
