Speaking of this, Viola glanced at Li Ran and continued, "After our soldiers were entangled, the nearby trees surrounded them as if they were alive. The most terrifying ones were the White Star Giant Sun and the Shadow Ghost Vine. The latter caught many of our soldiers and teleported them away. The attacks of the former made our soldiers unable to resist at all. If it weren't for the high elf mages who followed the army, we would have been wiped out."

"Apart from these strange plants, have you not seen those guys who can enslave plants?" At this time, Li Ran rubbed Tai temples and asked again.

Hearing Li Ran’s question, Tang Zi nodded and said, “Although the other party did not fight head-on, and not many appeared, I saw their appearance clearly. Their appearance was similar to that of the human race, but they were short and covered with cloak-like cloaks. They should belong to the profession of the law, because I see that most of them hold a wooden staff. In addition to forcibly controlling plant-based troops to fight, those who temporarily know can temporarily turn ordinary trees into tree demons with offensiveness. As for the vines we were entangled at the beginning, they should be ordinary vines grown by them. If they advance with the ground legion, I think it will be difficult to take down this black forest.”

Hearing Tang Zi's analysis, everyone present, especially the captains who returned, could not help but nodded repeatedly. Although they were strong, this experience obviously made them feel scared, which could be seen from their expressions.

After hearing this, Li Ran continued to ask some questions, including the resistance of these tree people, in addition to the White Star Giant Sun and the Shadow Ghost Vine, there are also powerful plant-based troops, the level-level distinction of the tree demons inspired by the other party, etc. Until a few hours later, these people left to rest.

However, just as Li Ran was thinking about how to act next, he suddenly received a magic system prompt from Zhou Xun. It seemed that he had to discuss something with him, so he asked Tang Zi to come and said that he chose to go offline.

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

"Is there anything wrong?" Li Ran asked.

At this time, Wu Tongtong said, "That's right. This morning, when Xu Lingwei's team cooperated with Tianyun Group to siege the city, they were suddenly harassed by a large group of the Dark Legion, about 2,000 super-level multi-headed cavalry and 300 shadow dragons, which eventually led to the failure of the siege."

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

Knowing that the Dark Touch that Li Ran mentioned was the commander of the Dark Legion, Zhou Xun replied: "I didn't see this person, the leader is the Fall of Darkness. We checked the information and it was a vanguard of the Dark Legion's commander officer."

It seemed that he had no impression of this person, and Li Ran asked at this time: "How is the casualties here?"

In response to this, Wu Tongtong replied: "Luckily, this time it was an ordinary medium-sized city, and there were not many troops above the legendary level. However, because the opponent's surprise attack was just a critical moment, Xu Lingwei chose to retreat without knowing the specific force of the other party, losing a total of 1,700 super-level troops, and more than 200 legendary troops were either killed in battle or captured."

Seeing that Li Ran did not speak after hearing the news, Zhou Xun and Wu Tongtong couldn't help but look at each other and showed a worried expression. Today, they are not for the loss of troops. It can be said that for them now, the lost troops can no longer move their roots, but the appearance of the Dark Legion has to make them pay great attention.

You should know that this Dark Legion is a nationally renowned front-line corps. Although its overall strength is a little worse than that of top corps such as the Jihad Legion and the Tianmai Legion, their legion commander, Dark Touch, is famous for his cruelty and cruelty, and he has taken this legion countless times to sneak attack various guilds from behind to grab trophy, including the top corps in the country like the Jihad Legion.

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

Someone once said that in the Third World, you would rather offend powerful beings like the Jihad Legion and the Tianmai Legion than offend the Dark Legion. After all, if you offend the former, you may also end up with compensation and apology. Once you offend the latter, they will follow you like a pack of wolves, and then pounce on you to bite you to death when you are weak.

But such a difficult guy is now staring at them. If they hadn't followed Li Ran in the battle and developed extraordinary courage and insight during this period, they would have persuaded Li Ran to change their strategy long ago.

"Do you know why this Dark Legion attacked us?" Li Ran finally asked.

Zhou Xun nodded and said, "We have found out that the Dark Legion captured a large city some time ago. It is less than 100 kilometers south of the city we are trying to capture. This time, this sudden attack on us should be to test our strength. Maybe the movement we made through the Tianyun Group during this period is a bit big, and on the other hand, it may also want to build some troops through war. After all, being in a siege is equivalent to entering the war mode. The forces of both sides can be captured by the other side."

Li Ran thought for a while and said to Zhou Xun: "It's like this, it's still early now. Let's go for a meal first. You ask Xu Lingwei and the others to sort out a flat map first. After the meal, we go over and discuss what to do next."

When Zhou Xun and Wu Tongtong heard Li Ran say this, they nodded immediately. After following Li Ran for so long, they also knew how to use their preciousness. At this time, one of them immediately picked up the phone and called Xu Lingwei, while the other went directly to the restaurant to order food.

Half an hour later, the three of them were sitting in the conference room of the opposite studio. At this time, a simulation scene was set up on the desktop in the center, including all the cities, strongholds and various leveling grounds that they were trying to capture within nearly 500 kilometers of the city around the city.

Seeing that even the terrain area had been made detailed notes, Li Ran nodded slightly. At this time, Xu Lingwei and others, who knew that they had caused serious losses of troops, were about to apologize, but Li Ran waved his hand and said, "Although there were indeed mistakes in the intelligence estimate before, you can't blame them all. It's just a lesson on the road to growth. I have limited time, so you can explain the surrounding situation as soon as possible."

Hearing Li Ran say this, Xu Lingwei and others nodded immediately. When they received Zhou Xun's call, they thought the boss would scold them, but they didn't expect that this matter would be just taken over. Even the losses of thousands of senior soldiers were only considered as giving them a lesson in the boss's mouth.

Hearing this, these people were all a little moved. When they heard the boss's question, they could not help but point to the map and introduce it, including the deployment of the city they were trying to capture, the configuration of the Dark Legion that came this time, etc.

Ten minutes later, these people stopped introducing, but Li Ran had made a decision in his heart, looked at them and issued an order and said: "After this battle, there will definitely be some turmoil in the Tianyun Group. We will temporarily stop capturing any city. Your next task is to find out the military configuration 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 body is too obvious, so don't go there. If necessary, let Shadow Blade and others go over and take away this Dark Legion's big city for me, and don't let anyone out of the city."

Hearing Li Ran say this, everyone present couldn't help but feel shocked. They didn't expect that they were just sneak attacked, and Li Ran wanted to directly take down the other party's big city, and it was a top professional legion in China. However, when they thought of going to fight with them, Zhao Yucheng and others couldn't help but become excited again.

However, Li Ran obviously hadn't finished speaking. At this time, he looked up at Xu Lingwei, Zhao Yucheng and others, and could not help but show a fear expression. Instead, he seemed a little excited. So he nodded and continued to say to them: "In addition, I just heard that the Dark Legion has a big city. Although it is not on this map, it is not too far away. After the matter is completed, let Tianyun Group continue the previously set goals, including captain of the medium-sized city. You will organize fifty people, bringing all the fast troops above the legendary level. If necessary, I will ask Captain Zhou to send some epic troops to flatten their leveling field. It will be tentatively set for one month in the Third World. As for this large city of the Dark Legion, it will be destroyed."

Hearing this, they realized that their boss not only wanted to capture this city, but also wanted to destroy all the other party's personnel, and even the large city was destroyed. At this time, even Zhao Yucheng and others, who had always claimed to be brave, were shocked and sweated.

At this moment, they finally understood why Brother Zhou Tong had been hinting that their boss was crazy, especially when he finally said that he wanted to burn all this large city, he felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.

At this time, Li Ran suddenly smiled and said to everyone: "Our plan this time will definitely attract some bad people. Now that the Dark Legion is coming, we will use them to establish our authority. And Xu Lingwei, we only know a little about navigation and ships here. You can prepare it. After the expanded shipyard in my place is completed, you may be coming" (To be continued.)
