Speaking of this, Viola glanced at Li Ran and continued: "And after our warriors were entangled, those nearby trees surrounded them as if they were alive, the most terrifying of them were the White Star Giant Aoi and the Shadow Ghost Vine, the latter came up and captured many of our warriors and teleported away, while the former's sky-high attack made our warriors unable to parry at all, if it weren't for the High Elf mages who accompanied the army, we would probably be wiped out."

"Aside from these strange plants, don't you see those guys who can enslave plants?" At this time, Li Ran rubbed his temples and asked again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Hearing Li Ran's question, Tang Zhi nodded and said: "Although the other party did not fight head-on, and there were not many of them, I saw their appearance clearly, their appearance is similar to that of the human race, but they are short in stature, and they are wearing cloaks, which should belong to the legal profession, because I see that most of them are holding a wooden staff, and their abilities are temporarily known in addition to forcibly controlling the plant type of troops to fight, and they can also temporarily turn ordinary trees into offensive tree demons. As for the vines that we were entangled in at the beginning, they should be ordinary tree vines that were grown by them, and I think it will be difficult to take this Black Forest if we advance with a ground legion."

Hearing Tang Zhi's analysis, everyone present, especially the leaders and captains who had retreated from defeat, couldn't help but nod their heads again and again, although they were powerful, but this experience obviously made them feel uneasy, which could be seen from their expressions.

And after Li Ran heard this, he continued to ask some questions, including the demonic resistance of these tree people, in addition to the White Star Giant Aoi and the Shadow Ghost Vine, there were also those powerful plant-based troops, the level distinction of the tree demons that the other party had lit, etc., until a few hours later, these people left to go back to rest.

However, just when Li Ran was alone thinking about how to act next, he suddenly received a magic system prompt from Zhou Xun, and it seemed that he had something to discuss with him, so he asked Tang Shi to say that he chose to go offline.

saw Zhou Xun at the door of the lounge, at this time he was looking over here with Wu Tongtong, it seemed that he was waiting for him, and the three of them immediately entered the lounge.

"What's the matter?" Li Ran asked.

At this time, Wu Tongtong opened his mouth and said: "That's the case, this morning, when Xu Ling's small team cooperated with the Tianyun Group to attack the city, it was suddenly harassed by a brigade of the Dark Legion, about two thousand super-level multi-headed lizard cavalry and three hundred shadow dragons, which eventually led to the failure of the siege."

Hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help frowning and asked, "Dark Legion? Is that Dark Touch guy coming? ”

Knowing that the Dark Touch that Li Ran said was the commander of the Dark Legion, Zhou Xun replied at this time: "I didn't see this person's figure, the leader was the Dark Fall, we checked the information, and it was a forward officer of the Dark Legion."

As if he didn't have any impression of this person, Li Ran opened his mouth and asked at this time, "How are the casualties on our side?" ”

To this, Wu Tongtong replied: "Fortunately, what was captured this time was an ordinary medium-sized city, and there were not many troops above the legendary level, but because the time of the opponent's surprise attack happened to be a critical moment, Xu Lingwei chose to retreat without being sure of the specific troops invested by the other party, and lost a total of 1,700 super-level troops, and more than 200 legendary troops were killed or captured."

Seeing that Li Ran didn't speak after hearing the news, Zhou Xun and Wu Tongtong couldn't help but look at each other with worried expressions, today, they are not here for these lost troops, it can be said that for them now, this loss of troops can no longer move their roots, but the appearance of the dark army has to make them pay great attention to it.

You must know that this dark legion is a well-known first-line legion in the country, although the overall strength is a little worse than the top legions such as the Holy War Legion and the Tianmai Legion, but their legion leader Dark Touch is known for being cruel and ferocious, turning his face and ruthlessly, and has led this legion to sneak attack various guilds from behind countless times to snatch loot, including the top legions in the country such as the Holy War Legion.

In that regard, this is a force that is one of the top legions, and coupled with the personality of their legion leader, it is definitely an existence that no one dares to provoke easily.

Someone once said that in the Third World, it is better to offend powerful beings like the Holy War Legion and the Celestial Pulse Legion than to offend the Dark Legion, after all, if you offend the former, you may be able to end it by apologizing, and once you offend the latter, they will follow you like wolves and pester you, and then pounce on you and bite you to death while you are weak.

But it's such a difficult guy, but now it's staring at them, if it weren't for the extraordinary courage and insight that they have cultivated during this period of time following Li Ran to the east and west, they would have to persuade Li Ran to change their strategy.

"Do you know why this dark legion is attacking us?" At this time, Li Ran finally asked.

Zhou Xun nodded and said: "We have already found out about this, the Dark Legion captured a large city some time ago, just south of the city we are going to capture now, less than a hundred kilometers away, this sudden sneak attack on us, on the one hand, it should be a test of our strength, maybe we have made a bit of a big move through the Tianyun Group during this time, on the other hand, we may also want to make some troops through war, after all, being in the siege of the city is equivalent to entering the war mode, and the forces of both sides can be captured by the other party."

Li Ran thought for a while and said to Zhou Xun: "That's it, it's not too early now, let's go have a meal first, you let Xu Lingwei and them sort out a flat map first, let's go over after dinner, and discuss what to do next by the way."

Hearing Li Ran say this, Zhou Xun and Wu Tongtong immediately nodded, following Li Ran for so long, they also knew how to use the precious time, at this time, one of them immediately picked up the phone and called Xu Lingwei, and the other went directly to the restaurant to order.

Half an hour later, the three of them were already sitting in the conference room of the opposite studio, and at this time, a simulated scene had been set up on the table in the center, including all the cities, strongholds, and various training grounds within the nearly 500 kilometers of the city they wanted to capture.

Seeing that even the terrain area had made a detailed note above, Li Ran also nodded slightly, and at this time, Xu Lingwei and the others, who knew that they had caused serious troop losses, were about to apologize, but Li Ran waved his hand and said: "Although there was indeed a mistake in the intelligence estimation before, this can't be blamed entirely on you, just take it as a lesson on the road to growth, I have limited time, you explain the surrounding situation as soon as possible."

Hearing Li Ran say this, Xu Lingwei and the others also immediately nodded again and again, when they received Zhou Xun's call, they thought that the boss would scold them when they came over, but they didn't expect this matter to be brought over like this, even the loss of thousands of high-level troops, in the mouth of the boss, it was enough to buy them a lesson.

Hearing this, these people couldn't help but be a little moved, and when they heard the boss ask again, they couldn't help but immediately point to the map and introduce it, including the deployment of the city to be captured, the troop configuration of the dark legion that came over this time, and so on.

Ten minutes later, these people stopped introducing, but Li Ran had already made a decision in his heart, looked at them and gave an order: "After this battle, there will definitely be some turmoil within the Tianyun Group, temporarily stop attacking any city, your next task is to find out the military strength of the big city where this dark legion is located."

Speaking of this, Li Ran turned to Zhou Xun and said: "You cooperate with them in this matter, after they find out the strength of the Dark Legion, they will send troops from the battle map, Xia Houben's size is too obvious, don't go over, if necessary, let Shadow Blade and others go over, and give me the end of this dark legion big city, don't let anyone out of the city"

Hearing Li Ran say this, everyone present couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, they didn't expect that it was just a sneak attack, Li Ran actually wanted to take out the other party's big city directly, and it was also a top professional army in China, but thinking of going to war with them, Zhao Yucheng and the others couldn't help but get excited again.

However, Li Ran obviously hadn't finished speaking, and looked up at Xu Lingwei and Zhao Yucheng and the others at this time, and couldn't help but show a scared expression, but showed some excitement, so he nodded and continued to them: "In addition, I heard just now that the Dark Legion also has a big city, although it is not on this map, but it is not too far away, after the matter is completed, let the Tianyun Group continue the previously set goal, including capturing that medium-sized city, and you will organize fifty people, all with fast troops above the legendary level, If necessary, I will ask Captain Zhou to send some more Epic Rank troops over to level their training ground for a month tentatively set for the Third World, and the large city of the Dark Legion will be completely destroyed."

Hearing this, they realized that their boss not only wanted to capture the city, but also to destroy all the other party's personnel, even this large city, at this time, even Zhao Yucheng and others, who had always prided themselves on being bold, were shocked into a cold sweat.

And at this moment, they finally understood the reason why Brother Zhou Tong had been hinting that their boss was crazy, especially when he finally said that he was going to burn down this large city, they felt an inexplicable chill in their hearts.

At this time, Li Ran suddenly smiled and said to everyone: "Our plan this time will definitely attract some unscrupulous people, now that the Dark Legion is coming, then we will take advantage of them, and Xu Lingwei, we only know a little about navigation and ships here, you can prepare, and when my expanded shipyard is completed, you may have to come over" (To be continued.) )
