Shortly after all this work was finished, the vanguard troops who rushed back to rescue Yao had arrived. When these soldiers saw that the territory was occupied, they were a little panicked. Seeing that there were only hawks and mid-level dark elf warriors in the vanguard, Li Ran would not be polite. He led many elves archers, the Taurus warriors and the Leopard human warriors out of the city to fight, killing them to scatter.

At this time, Zhou Xun and others also took advantage of this attack. Huan Bing Nannan led thirty frost elephant mastiffs to the back of these dungeon soldiers and wiped out these troops. Although a few hawks escaped from the battlefield, Li Ran asked Ian Held to chase after him with high-level vampires, and I believe they could not escape their palms.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Li Ran led the team back to the village and town for rest. While the vampire Earl was away, he asked several teammates to hide some spoils while sending scouts to inquire about the news.

As Li Ran expected, Ian Held led his high-level vampire troops to catch up with the fleeing hawks and wipe them out.

At this time, Li Ran had an idea of ​​following reinforcements and set up an ambush outside the city. However, he waited until the next morning. Perhaps the news was revealed, and the opponent's reinforcements had not come back. Li Ran had to give up and withdraw the soldiers ambushed outside the city.

After medical assistance, Wu Tongtong secretly submitted a list of reports that Li Ran not only lost more than 50 taurus warriors in this battle, but also suffered heavy casualties between the middle-level elves and mages, especially the elves. At the beginning, in order to control the wall, more than 100 casualties were exceeded, and other troops did not suffer much casualties.

As for the prisoners, although the risk of paying was a bit great, the corresponding gains were also much greater. The low-level cavemen alone reached more than 1,500, more than 170 harps, and more than 235 mid-level dark elf warriors, 78 Medusa shooters, and 192 minotaurs in terms of high-level troops, 43 dark elf witches. The dark elf knights reached 72.

In addition, in terms of materials, due to the urgent time, there was no detailed inventory. The known ones contained a large amount of refined iron ore and famous crystals, as well as a lot of mercury and sulfur. The preliminary inventory of gold coins was about 70,000. At that time, in order not to attract the attention of the vampire Earl, Wu Tongtong, who received a reminder from Li Ran, immediately put it in her storage space for storage, and also some valuables in it, as well as hidden high-level prisoners.

After all this was handled, Li Ran summoned everyone and briefly told the vampire Count Ian Held about the losses and benefits this time. Of course, all of them were added to it. His casualties were doubled, but the benefits were less than half, and there were only a few thousand gold coins.

But the vampire count obviously didn't care about this. He could destroy a village and town in the dungeon force, and finally saved his life. After chatting for a few words, he rushed back on the grounds that he went back to report the results of the battle and tried to apply for some funds for Li Ran.

At this moment, looking at this dungeon village that is more than twice as big as his territory, Li Ran almost had the urge to move the surface territory, but after thinking about it, he still gave up. In addition to having two powerful enemies here, he was still used to developing on the surface. Now this territory can only become a stronghold for him to compete for resources.

So early the next morning, he asked Zhou Xun and others to pick up Molga. After all, after the war, he needed to deal with many things. At the same time, he also brought back a lot of important materials, including all the high-level soldiers of the captives, as well as a large amount of mineral raw materials.

After nearly two weeks of going back and forth, the old village chief Molga finally sorted out everything. At this time, except for thousands of cavemen, only all the hawks and indigenous people were left in the territory, and the others were transported back to the surface territory.

At this time, all the soldiers left behind were replaced by Li Ran's previous team, with nearly 200 taurens, 100 Modo warriors and 200 leopard warriors, and about 300 middle-level elves archers and mages. The giant warriors also left 50. In addition, several teammates with their troops,

In addition, the most visited villagers and dwarves during this period were nearly 1,500 people. They worked hard to build and mine several nearby mines. At this moment, the scale of the stronghold was initially formed.

At this moment, Li Ran has three territories, one of which is a town-level territory. In addition to thousands of people working hard to build surface territories, there are five mining plants and more than 2,000 residents are mining day and night, including two fine iron ore, one tungsten steel ore, a crystal ore and a sulfur ore.

Ten days later, the vampire Earl Ian Held came to the territory again. After expressing Grand Duke Renes' satisfaction with Li Ran's performance, he handed over the 50,000 gold coins of military compensation given by Grand Duke Renes to Li Ran, which made the latter and his teammates happy.

Seeing everyone's expression of jealousy at seeing money, Ian Held couldn't help but look down on him. He was such a group of local buns who had never seen the world. He could be ecstatic for just tens of thousands of gold coins. When you lose your value, Grand Duke Renes will naturally take back the principal and interest, and you will naturally be more beautiful.

In the following chat, the vampire count who finally got rid of the threat of being killed by an angry grand duke at any time. Although his behavior was still very elegant, his tone was not as humble as before. After telling the next cooperation goal, he walked away with two high-level vampires.

Looking at the back of the departing vampire Earl, Li Ran, who was just ecstatic about receiving the gold coins, was silent quietly. The smile on his face slowly turned into a quietness like water, and an inexplicable cold light was revealed in his eyes.

From the chat just now, Li Ran knew that this known underground world had eleven villages and town territories, including six of the undead clan and five of the dungeon forces. The Grand Duke of the Undead clan and Queen Sonaya of the dungeon forces were stationed in a real city. Although the scale of this city is not as large as the third-level city like Edoron City that I had seen before, the strength of the high-level troops was more than 5,000. With their respective scattered forces, the overall strength is not bad.

Looking at his teammates, Dorik and others, Li Ran silently calculated how he could survive between the two.

Through the previous battle, Queen Sonaya already knew the information that she had come to the underground world.

But in the past half a month, the dungeon forces have not come to take revenge. On the one hand, it may be because Ian Held said before that because he was afraid of Grand Duke Renes, and on the other hand, it may be that he was secretly observing his strength. Once he revealed his flaws, he believes that the dungeon forces where Queen Sonaya are located will definitely pounce on him. At that time, I am afraid that Grand Duke Renes will not really come to protect himself without ensuring victory, and will even seize two of his own territory first.

It seems that everything depends on oneself. In front of two powerful forces, even if they cannot win, they will turn themselves into a piece of iron or a hard bone, so that they will know that no matter who comes and wants to eat, they will be knocked off. In this way, they can firmly occupy these two territories and obtain rich resources for development.

After understanding this, Li Ran decided not to keep a low profile and quickly expanded his army under the pretext of ensuring the development of the territory. With the orders one by one, his teammates and Dorik and others began to take action separately and decided to complete the goal in the shortest time.

At the same time, Li Ran also asked Dorik to return to the capital as soon as possible to clear the situation, so that they agreed to upgrade their village-level territory to urban-level territory. In this way, he could not only expand and expand his army legitimately, but also buy some elite troops in the capital. Although it is only a limit purchase, I heard that they are all soldiers who have been trained for a long time and even have been on the battlefield many times. Compared with the troops who are now strong only based on personal strength.

Without further ado, after some discussion, all the teammates set out, and Li Ran gritted his teeth and handed over Dorik 100,000 gold coins. This is half of the money that the territory can now be used up. I hope he can accomplish this as soon as possible.

As one of the main core people of the territory, Doric knew that Li Ran’s current situation seemed to be developing well, but because of its rapid development, many links in the territory were not stable. Now, the underground world is in conflict with the two major forces, and it can be said that it is a crisis with the devil step by step. If it is not done well, even the surface territory will be devastated. So when he saw Li Ran’s cautious entrusting, he couldn’t help but nod. (To be continued.)
