Hearing this, the teammates couldn't help but sigh, in just one week, nearly a thousand middle and high-level soldiers had been killed or wounded, and there were more than twenty top-level three-star Niusi Gute warriors, which made people really feel a little distressed, and they couldn't help but look at Li Ran again.

However, the latter's expression was still calm, and he didn't seem to care too much about it, but his brows were slightly locked as if he was thinking about something, and after a long time, Li Ran suddenly asked the old village chief Morga on the side: "Please prepare the supplies again, the quantity is about the same as before, and after a few days, the troops need to go out again."

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and asked the reason one after another, they had just failed once, and they had lost so many troops, if they were angry for a while, it was obviously inappropriate to make such a decision.

Zhou Xun was the first to stand up and disagree, and bluntly said that it was a fluke to be able to come back for the first time, and now he has lost nearly a thousand troops, which shows that the territory does not have the ability to enter the endless snow region, especially in terms of troops, it is not suitable for snow operations, I hope Li Ran will not be impulsive.

Although it is not attached, but the concept of everyone is obviously similar, although the current territory is not weak, but it really can't withstand such attrition, rather than fighting these uncertain wars in the endless snow region, it is better to focus on development and the surrounding environment.

But Li Ran obviously didn't think so, but seeing that everyone was silent, he had to explain: "Our current development is in a bottleneck period, many practical buildings have not yet been built, if we blindly wait for mineral development is too slow, only through war can we obtain more resources."

After a pause, Li Ran continued: "Another point is that through these two expeditions. We all know more about the Endless Snow Realm, and why the Snow Leopards are raiding us this time. It made me suspect that there might be a snow leopard territory near the hot springs. Our arrival made them wary, so they tried to force us to leave by force, but the other side did not have enough troops, otherwise our team would definitely not be able to return this time. Therefore, in addition to expanding resources with war, I also hope to find out the location of this snow leopard territory, if we can occupy a territory in the Endless Snow Region, then the harsh environment of the Endless Snow Region is our best defense. In the future, if our territory is in danger, we can retreat there to ensure the survival of our people."

Say so much in one breath. At this time, Li Ran stopped again, and after a long time, he said leisurely: "A few months ago, we all saw those super large and even super tribes passing by, if our territory wants to develop, after a while the weather warms up, we can only attack them, but once we fail, we can go there except for the underground world." That's why I wondered if we could take a territory of our own in the Endless Snow Land."

It was only at this time that everyone understood Li Ran's intentions, and couldn't help but sigh at his thoughtfulness, and Zhou Xun and other teammates also cast admiring glances. And Zhou Xun was a little unsure of what to do, he just thought that it was because the development was too smooth during this time, and Li Ran couldn't tolerate a little failure, so he impulsively ordered the order. At this time, I can't help but feel a little ashamed.

Looking at Zhou Xun, Li Ran smiled and said, "But the situations that Captain Zhou said do exist, maybe we will still lose our troops if we go again." Many valiant warriors will die in battle, but for the sake of the development of the territory. For the safety of our people in the future, we still have to take precautions. Even if it costs with your life, you must avoid all risks for them."

There was silence in the arena for a long time, as Saquill, the leader of the High Rock Minotaurs, shouted out to go out! The surrounding crowd also joined in, and soon the sound of battle spread throughout the territory, and everyone was full of battle spirit, and they had the feeling that they were about to conquer the endless snow region.

Different from the residents and soldiers of the third world, Zhou Xun and his teammates saw this situation, and couldn't help but sigh Li Ran's vision and ability, it was originally a defeat, after a few words from him, not only convinced everyone, but also made the soldiers burst out again with stronger morale and combat effectiveness than before.

The next night, Li Ran summoned everyone in the conference hall to have a deeper discussion on this expedition, the troops were almost the same as before, but the route was adjusted somewhat, and at the same time, Xia Houben also went out with the team this time, which greatly strengthened the command ability of the expedition personnel.

However, the team on this expedition only walked for ten days before returning, they unfortunately encountered a sudden snowstorm attack on the way, and when they hurriedly looked for shelter, they once again stepped into the territory of the Glai Stone People, and were besieged by nearly 10,000 Gelai Stone People, and the loss of troops had reached half of the troops, and nearly 2,000 middle and high-level soldiers died.

Just when the entire territory was in sorrow, Li Ran was not ready to stop, and sent troops twice in a row, except for the third time, he did not lose many troops, and brought back some snow ape captives and furs, and the fourth time he personally led the troops was a big defeat, losing nearly 2,000 troops again, which reduced the strength of the entire territory by half. Xia Houben, Shadow Blade including Cao Dayong, Zhang Juan, Zhang Debiao, and Sun Jianye, who had just returned from a level promotion, were all killed in the Endless Snow Region, but fortunately, the first two levels were high enough, although they could still stay on the battle map even if they hung up once, the other four had to continue to level up on the world map.

It was this time that Li Ran and the others finally found out the territory of the snow leopard people, and it turned out that the territory where they were located was in the hidden place of a mountain peak in the mountain range not far from the hot springs. In addition to the tens of thousands of ice field inhabitants in the preliminary investigation, including more than 20,000 snow leopard warriors, there are also nearly 6,000 high-level storm snow peng and snow giants. They lost in the previous battle, and after being unfortunate to be discovered, Li Ran's troops, who did not resist the snow leopard troops who went out to fight, fled back after killing nearly 1,000 people, but at the same time, they also lost a lot of troops to the other side.

The fifth expedition did not take too long, and because of several consecutive failures, in the face of everyone's doubts and resistance, Li Ran did not explain much this time, and directly ordered the sale of all the red gold minerals in the territory in exchange for more than 1,000 high-level troops and some secret silver and magic crystals, and after recruiting 100 three-star Nyusbones, he asked Doric to bring Queen Sonaya and Grand Duke Renys, who had been imprisoned, back to the capital, and recruited 5,000 steel shield guards with a lot of gold coins and special products.

In this expedition, Li Ran also fought with all his troops, and the strength of the territory can be said to be overwhelming, except for nearly 300 three-star Niusgute warriors and the same number of Zerela beast cavalry. All the middle and high-level troops are on the battlefield, plus the new 5,000 stainless steel shield guards, the overall number exceeds 10,000. (To be continued.) )
