Chapter 375: Lies
Soon everyone came to the conference room one after another. After Li Ran told them the situation, everyone thought for a while and gave their opinions. There were the leopard leader Bolken and Turga, who were the main battle, and especially Bolken. His tribe members have been killed by these vampires in the past few days, so they naturally want to take revenge. Some people like Dorik and others said that they could not provoke these undead creatures. After all, they were too many, and no one guaranteed how big this underground undead cemetery would be, and whether there would be more powerful undead lords inside. If a war starts, it would attract the attention of other undeads.
Li Ran thought about it for a long time, and what Dorik and others considered it really makes sense. In this situation, the key is to be vigilant of migrating barbarian tribes and biomes. Although the harsh winter is approaching, the barbarian tribes and biomes that have passed by during this period have decreased, but some people who will pass by from time to time, and those who dare to migrate so late are all large tribes, and now they really don’t have the energy to pay attention to this underground cemetery of the dead.
After comforting Bolken, Li Ran finally decided to separate the team that went out to log in from the team that went to swamp lakes to catch fishing and collect. The villagers who logged in the logging villages ran away, and led the team to avoid the vampire surveillance range and find another dense forest.
Considering that the logging team went further away from the territory and working hours would be shortened, everyone discussed and decided to increase the number of villagers so as not to delay the construction of the territory and the living needs of villagers.
The decision proved to be correct. On the third day of the meeting, Li Ran received an emergency report from the scout, two large tribes and a medium-sized biome of sharp-horned blood apes that might have passed by the territory within these days.
The next morning, the Shadow Blade and the logging collection team that went out routinely did not go out, Xia Houben, Tang Zi and others did not go out to encircle and suppress, and the archers were stationed at the outpost. For a moment, the storm was surging, and Li Ran announced that the territory was in a state of combat readiness.
Li Ran, who was in the conference hall, looked at the sand table with his brows tightly, and everyone around him looked sad. The scout leader Histan pointed to a golden ore not far from the leopard statue in the territory and said: "The closest thing to us is the Gaoyan Taurus tribe, which is more than 60 miles away. Judging from the paths and routes observed in the past two days, he should pass by our territory."
"Have you found out the strength investigation?" Before Li Ran asked, the old village chief Molga, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but ask, cursing himself, why can't these guys save a little, and insisting on running towards us.
The scout leader Histan looked at Li Ran and nodded when he saw him, "Initial investigation, there are more than 500 Gaoyan Taurus warriors in the main combat troops of this tribe, of which nearly 400 are tenth-level high-rock taurus warriors, and about 100 are advanced eleventh-level high-rock taurus warriors. There are about 1,000 fourth-level hardcover dwarf warriors and dozens of twelfth-level mountain giants. There are also their own tribe, with a total of more than 1,000 people. It is worth noting that underage warriors account for about half.
This is an opponent that is stronger than before. This is the first impression of everyone present. Compared with the Modo clan's reputation for being cruel, the Taurus warriors are famous for being brave and fearless, and are also a famous powerful army. This time they are also the best among them. Although the number of people is similar to that of the Modo clan's warriors, the bravery of the Taurus warriors is undoubtedly more admirable. But as an opponent, it is also more heartbreaking.
After listening to Histan's information, everyone couldn't help but frown again. There was no chance to get a bargain this time, and it was undoubtedly a dangerous thing to have to face such a powerful opponent alone. Fortunately, this time, it was on the defensive side, but how long the territory's walls and gates could last under the attack of the opponent's Gaoyan Taurus and the mountain giants was a headache.
After all, both the Tauren and the Mountain Giant have unparalleled powerful power. Destroying buildings is naturally a piece of cake. With the current defensive ability of the territory, I am afraid that it will be difficult to persist for a few minutes.
"I don't think the other party will definitely attack us. After all, except for the dwarfs who have bad tempers, the Taurus, as the main combat troops, has a little temper, but if they don't mess with them, they are not aggressive." Seeing that everyone's expressions were a little solemn, the old village chief Molga thought for a while and said, "And with our troops, they may not necessarily dare to attack us."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but start to talk. Now the territory is full of troops. Although it is not necessarily stronger than the Gao Yan Niutou, it is almost the same. As long as the other party is asked to see it, they dare to attack if they don't believe it. Wouldn't that be without danger?
It turned out that his territory had developed to this point without realizing it. Several elders in the territory's eyes lit up at this moment and looked at the lord. One of them was about to come out to speak, but found that Li Ran had raised his hand.
"Hestein, let me tell you about the movements of these Gao Yan's Taurens." Li Ran waved his hand to stop everyone's discussion, and turned his body slightly and said to the scout leader.
The latter immediately bent down and said, "According to our observation, these Gaoyan Taurus should have been robbed in the early stage. Many of the soldiers were injured and the food they brought was seriously insufficient. They suddenly changed our way here three days ago. They should have known that our territory was very likely to be asked for food for us. It is not ruled out that they will capture the territory as already exists, so as to spend the winter."
"Ah~~" Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but talk again. With the increase of the population, the food for wintering in the territory has been seriously insufficient. If these guys with amazing appetites want to go to the food, how can they spend the winter?
After a while, seeing that there was less controversy, Li Ran waved his hand and suddenly asked loudly when he calmed down, "The matter is already in front of him. The other party has decided to steal our supplies and food, and maybe it will occupy our home. What do you think we should do?"
With Li Ran's shout, the belligerent Leopards and others had already started to shout and expressed their desire to fight. For a moment, the calls for battle rang throughout the parliamentary hall, and even the guards standing guard outside the door couldn't help but hold the hilt of the sword in their hands.
Since the war was settled, Li Ran issued several orders in succession to allocate the troops to everyone, and announced that he had officially entered the state of pre-war preparation.
After everyone left, Li Ran left Doric and Hestan on the grounds of confirming the other party's situation even further.
After a while, Li Ran glanced at Hestein and saw that the latter seemed to have something to say, so he smiled and asked, "Are you still wondering why I asked you to lie?"
Histan glanced at Doric next to him, and after Li Ran said there was no problem. The scout leader bent down and saluted and said, "I don't dare, I just don't understand."
Li Ran stared at Histan until the other party showed a hint of anxiety and said cautiously: "It's very good. The leader who can understand thinking is what I need. You have also seen the situation just now. Many people, even the brave leader of the Leopard Human race, were skeptical of the battle at the beginning, let alone those territory guards and ordinary soldiers. In the face of an unknown battle, do you think their morale will be high if they participate in the war like this? And in the face of the heroic Taurus warriors, do you think we will win this way?"
After hearing what Li Ran said, the scout leader couldn't help but nodded.
Li Ran then continued, "You also know about the cemetery of the Undead. A small cemetery, a small vampire count, killed so many of our residents and soldiers. In the end, we were helpless. In addition to not daring to take revenge, we had to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to avoid them in order to cut down such a little wood. Do you still think that the strength of the territory is already strong enough? The elders in the territory are eager for stability and hope that there will be less wars. But they did not expect that the more the villagers want to be safe, the more they need the development of the territory. If we are unwilling to arrest and dare not arrest, do you think our territory can still develop? If there is no development, will it be the same as before, and let others slaughter it by their temporary preferences. Will the villagers at that time be safe?"
After a long time, Li Ran suddenly received a jingle from the system, reminding his subordinate Hestein to show his loyalty to you. At the same time, the scout leader also knelt down on one knee and said slowly: "I already know your wishes. Hestein of Wuyali clan Hestein swears here, and from now on, he will follow my Lord for the rest of his life."
This jingling sound represents everything. Li Ran smiled and helped the latter up and said, "Okay, since you already understand my intention, then Gao Yan's Niutou people's information must be tracked in time. In addition, you must arrange the matter I told you as soon as possible. I will let Tang Zi cooperate with you tomorrow."
Histan, who had already given his loyalty, nodded immediately, turned around and left after a few words, a trace of light appeared in his eyes, and a ripples unconsciously rippled out of his body, and his steps seemed to suddenly become more stable while walking.
