    Fortunately, those who came this time were all elite warriors in the city with many years of war experience. As Li Ran issued orders to generals at all levels, under the leadership of their commanders, these warriors immediately took corresponding defensive measures.  At the same time, some soldiers began their first tentative counterattack, but the crossbow arrows fired from time to time from the dense forests on both sides caused them heavy casualties.

    Seeing all this, Li Ran also took quick action. Rather than being surrounded and killed like this, he personally led the elite regiment to the right after ordering Giordano to bring his swamp troops to support the front.

    When the tauren totem warriors in front killed the first blood-given jungle troll, Li Ran knew that these were Duke Sayles' troops. Considering the powerful capabilities of these legendary troops in the jungle, Li Ran immediately mobilized more from behind.  Some Ubasura came and greeted them.

    Although they had the advantage of the terrain and the number of troops ambushed here reached nearly 10,000, among which the hundreds of jungle trolls had reached the legendary level, they still failed to stop the attack of Li Ran's elite soldiers, leaving behind hundreds of jungle trolls.  After finding the corpse, the others quickly chose to retreat, and Li Ran did not continue the pursuit for fear of an ambush later.

    After nearly two hours of fighting, Li Ran's side finally repelled the enemy. However, in addition to Liao Liao's hundreds of prisoners, they lost a lot of troops in this battle. The most important thing was that this time the enemy was blocked.  The sneak attack troops from the Duke of Ernst, whether they were senior warriors or crossbowmen, all the weapons were mostly smeared with poison, especially the crossbowmen. Although they did not have the ability to kill with one arrow, they caused many soldiers to be seriously injured.  They were also poisoned, and at one time the number of wounded accounted for almost one-third of the entire army.

    Looking at the battlefield filled with screams, Li Ran frowned slightly. Fortunately, there were hundreds of winged snakes in the troops traveling this time. Their average strength was above the legendary level, and their treatment capabilities were very powerful. Otherwise,  With those elf priests alone, the number of casualties might continue to increase.

    "These damn mercenaries, it turns out they are Sers's people"

    "It's a good plan to lead us to the mutated swamp giant and arrange ambushes on both sides."

    "Yes, he even used poison in a despicable manner. He is really an insidious guy."

    Although some soldiers were still cursing and some were still burying their dead comrades, just an hour later, Li Ran issued an order for a rapid march. It was not until dusk that he came to a wider area and Li Ran ordered the entire army to rest.  .

    In one day, not only did they experience several hours of fighting and then march for dozens of miles, the soldiers were also exhausted. Before the support staff could set up their tents, some of them fell headlong.  on the ground.

    After arranging night watchmen, Li Ran personally inspected these soldiers and found that nearly 3,000 soldiers were seriously injured or seriously injured due to poisoning and could not recover in a short period of time. In addition, nearly 10,000 soldiers were more or less injured.  After suffering some injuries, Li Ran also frowned slightly.

    In order to prevent the injured soldiers from aggravating their injuries due to fatigue, Li Ran chose to rest on the spot in the next two days. While allowing these soldiers to recover, he also sent people to re-investigate the front, because the previous few days  The thousand mutated swamp giants did teach him a big lesson.

    Although these guys, except for a few leaders, are only as strong as super-level troops, once they are dragged into the swamp, even the legendary troops will hardly be spared. Speaking of the thousands of casualties in the last battle,  Most of them were caused by these mutated swamp giants, and some of the legendary soldiers even suffered casualties as a result.

    "Li Ran, why don't you go down and take a nap?" That night, Zhao Lanlan secretly ran to the camp. Seeing that Li Ran was still behind him, he took out a bottle of drink brought from Tell City and handed it to him.

    Li Ran looked up and saw that it was her. Li Ran smiled slightly and said, "It seems that you have hidden food in your storage space."

    Zhao Lanlan smiled and said: "Otherwise you would be able to drink such delicious juice now. To tell you the truth, I not only hid food, I also defrauded several pieces of high-grade ice from Mr. Morga."  Where is the magic crystal, do you feel a little cold after drinking it?"

    After taking a sip, he found that there was a refreshing coolness, which refreshed him. Li Ran couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that you will enjoy it, but I will have to examine Mr. Morga carefully when I go back. I will let him  How could he, who manages the warehouse, let others take away such valuable magic crystals?"

    Knowing that he was just teasing her, Zhao Lanlan said nonchalantly: "Isn't it that Lord Morga you are looking for is smart? He sees that our relationship is unusual, so why not fawn over me as soon as possible?"

    However, when she just said these words,Then she realized something was wrong. When she heard Li Ran asked with a smile, what is our relationship, her face suddenly turned red. However, her nature made her still pretend to be indifferent, but this expression made Li Ran amused.  laughed.

    "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just waiting for information from Histan." Knowing Zhao Lanlan's intentions, she wanted to deliberately make him happy. Li Ran looked at her and said with a smile.

    Knowing that Li Ran couldn't hide his little thoughts, Zhao Lanlan also pretended to be stupid and smiled, but the next moment she hugged Li Ran's right arm and leaned closer like a bird. At this moment,  She is dignified, gentle and charming, without any of her usual quirkiness.

    But what was depressing was that just when she was very happy to find that Li Ran's right arm was holding her in his arms, two shadow female soldiers suddenly appeared and looked at the door warily. The temperature in the tent  It also dropped sharply in an instant, and the illusory figure of the war succubus Lilasia appeared high in the camp.

    But then, when several guards at the door came over, they disappeared again. After a while, Zhao Lanlan saw the scout leader Histan running over, covered in blood.

    After learning that the blood did not belong to this person, but to some ferocious beasts he had killed on the way, Li Ran felt relieved and asked about the results of the investigation he led.

    Upon hearing the city lord's inquiry, the scout leader, who had reached the level of a super-level soldier, immediately said respectfully: "Sir, it has been initially determined that the castle of Sethis is still more than 170 miles away from us.  We are on alert. Except for three racial groups, no other threats have been found on the way. It is worth noting that there is a territory of rare moss trolls, which is also located on the edge of the swamp. We may have to bypass it if we want to pass directly.  , you need to prepare troops and fire mages first."

    Li Ran nodded at this, and after asking him to point out the three ethnic groups' territories on the map, he asked him to go down and clean up and rest.

    However, at this time, the scout leader spoke again: "Although the other party was on full alert and we were not able to sneak in to detect the specific strength of the troops, I found many dark elves and barbarian warriors inside the guard.  , I suspect that there must be a local force among them, and there should be a lot of them, and seeing that they are all wearing standard armor, I suspect that the Duke of Sayres has already deployed troops here."

    Li Ran was not too surprised by this. As a duke who has guarded this place for decades, he dared to openly confront the empire here. It is impossible to say that there are not some tricks in it, and this is nothing more than hiding some strength.

    But when he saw the scout leader next and found that he seemed to have something to say, Li Ran couldn't help but become curious.

    "What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Li Ran asked.

    With a slight bow, the scout leader said: "One more thing. After I observed this stronghold and climbed a nearby tall tree, I found that the inner city of this stronghold seemed a little strange."

    At this time, even Zhao Lanlan asked curiously: "What's so strange about the inner city?"

    Looking at Li Ran, Histan replied: "It stands to reason that the materials used in the construction of the territory should be similar. The outer city walls and buildings of this stronghold are made of ordinary stones and mud mixed with a common blue-gray color, but the entire inner city is.  It is lavender and has a metallic smell. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s my sensory problem, but I always feel something is wrong. And in my opinion, whether it is a city wall or a castle with the largest area, this inner city has  The architectural style is also obviously different from that in the outer city.¡±

    Hearing this, Li Ran and Zhao Lanlan, who were present at the time, also understood what he meant, especially the former. Out of curiosity, he even drew the shape of the inner city.

    Although Histan, who is only good at hunting and reconnaissance, is obviously not good at drawing, Li Ran also saw some clues from the sketches he drew. This inner city does not look like the external buildings, because it has obvious  The elven architectural style is somewhat similar to Li Ran's high elven tribes in the Sunset Mountains.

    After Li Ran expressed his opinion, Zhao Lanlan also said: "Then this may have been the territory of high elves before, but with more troops stationed here, the outer city may be occupied by other races or Sels  The Duke built it himself¡±

    Originally, this matter should be forgotten. As a scout leader, Histan just wanted to report the complete information he detected to Li Ran, the city lord, and Li Ran also agreed with Zhao Lanlan's view.

    However, just when he told his teammates about the results of the Histan investigation the next day, after Li Ran came back from the Sunset Mountains, the high elf guard captain assigned to Zhang Juan accidentally saw this sketch., and exclaimed after hearing Li Ran casually say that the inner city is lavender
