In the dark depths of the water, two golden lights lit up.
The great demon Gaoke suddenly opened his eyes.
Even with Gaoke's strong body, he would inevitably fall into a coma if he was hit from the head by a small iceberg.
The dark elf witch successfully used some kind of secret treasure to create a strong impact and interrupted his space teleportation.
"In this case, the war should be over."
The Lancers will break through the demon army's front from the flanks, turning the rift into a demon slaughterhouse again.
He, the Great Demon Warlord Gaoke, personally destroyed an entire mixed demon army.
The magic power has been exhausted, and it is unable to summon the legions and cannot teleport too far through space.
He gathered the last bit of strength and teleported himself to the land.
Gork appears on the northern land of the Rift Valley.
The coalition forces have rushed out of the rift valley and are chasing down the few remaining demon soldiers who have fled in all directions. The air is filled with the burning smell of sulfur blood.
"It's the big devil!"
After Gaoke appeared, the coalition troops immediately gathered and surrounded him.
In the crowd, Gaoke saw the opponent's commander, a young human male who looked at him nervously. He was flanked by two powerful high-level knights guarding him.
Several piercing howls came from the horizon. Gao Ke heard the sound and went to find that a large number of griffin regiments had arrived.
The big devil opened his mouth and roared with laughter.
He brandished the Hell Blade and began his final march.
...
When the rangers of the Griffin Claws followed the beacon fire to the Great Rift Valley, the first thing they saw was a doomsday battlefield.
The corpses of the entire demon army were mixed with fragments of human armor, broken wings of gryphons, and broken bones of the undead. The blood gathered in several low-lying areas to form viscous pools.
The warriors of the Gryphon Claws walked across the battlefield, completely unaware of who caused such a large-scale war.
In the middle of the battlefield, the corpse of the great demon was like a hill, which was very eye-catching.
During the charge, he relied on the powerful strength of level 7 creatures to break through the siege of the coalition forces, and did not fall until he rushed in front of Li Ran.
Li Ran stood in front of the great demon's body, silent in thought.
"What did he mean by what he said to me?"
Before Gao Ke was killed by the overwhelming griffins and coalition soldiers, he laughed loudly and said:
"Young human, if you really have the guts, go to hell and defeat the demon king of Shelgo!"
Li Ran was puzzled. Wouldn't Ogas and Demon King Kabeles know that he was so treasonous?
The arrival of Eureka interrupted Li Ran's thoughts: "Lord, according to rough statistics, in this battle, the Star Wind Legion was outnumbered and faced an enemy several times stronger than itself. The casualty rate was only 10%.
Five, the most important losses were the Shadow Lancers who died in the battle and the Chosen Warriors who were killed by the Archdemon."
"Correspondingly, the vanguard and high-level troops of the demon legion were completely wiped out, and the seventh-level demon warlord was crowned. This is a brilliant victory!"
Li Ran nodded and said: "In addition to transporting the wounded and cleaning up the battlefield, let the dark alchemist rush over immediately to guide the collection of loot."
"The bodies of high-level demons are made of extremely rare alchemical materials, and some special organs are also powerful psychic items!"
After Eureka took the order and left, Li Ran also took steps and walked on the battlefield while thinking about the next action.
The elimination of the Burning Blood Chapter this time not only eliminated the most important threat to the Starwind Territory with less, but also eliminated the most important threat to the Star Wind Territory. Moreover, these slain mid-to-high-level demons themselves were the best trophies.
The ruins of the Well of Souls and the current Pillar of Ascension can transform low-level undead into Dark Knights. All they need are high-level psychic items.
The alchemical materials and psychic items obtained from thousands of demon corpses are enough to recruit a powerful level 6 Dark Knights!
In Li Ran's plan, the existing Shadow Lancers will serve as light cavalry units active on the periphery, while the level 6 Dark Knights will serve as the main force of heavy cavalry.
The two complement each other, and the characteristics of the middle and high-level cavalry complement each other. This unit will become the most powerful armed force in Li Ran's hands.
However, considering the high upgrade price of the Dark Knight, the territory's income must be further increased.
Under the current situation, the only solutions are to increase the output of gold mines or to open up access to the development zone to the south for trade.
Ranger Captain Dewey walked towards Li Ran.
"Lord Li Ran," Dewey said, "I still can't believe what I see before me. This is an epic victory. You have brought new hope to the Griffin Principality."
Li Ran smiled and said: "This is our common victory, Captain Dewey, the gryphon you summoned is indispensable for its bravery in the face of the great demon."
Dewey replied: "I have sent griffins and rangers as you requested to search for possible demon deserters in nearby areas, and will never let the news of the existence of Starwind Territory return to Talengard."
Li Ran agreed: "Very good, please be careful. These demon deserters are related to the survival of the Star Wind Territory."
Dewey smiled and said: "Don't worry! There is open wilderness near the Rift Valley, and nothing can escape the eyes of the griffin."
Immediately, his expression became serious: "In addition, I have sent a gryphon to send a secret letter to the resistance command, explaining in detail the course of this war. I believe that Captain Umberto will come to talk to you soon.
Meet."
Li Ran smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to meeting him."
...
In the wilderness of the underworld, Griffin Claw camps are dotted all over the place.
As a famous resistance force, the Griffin Claw is not as powerful as its enemies imagined.
It is not even a purely military organization, but is composed of soldiers and refugees who fled Talengard, with a total number of about three thousand people.
Except for the Rangers and Griffin troops, most of the remaining people are refugees who have just taken up arms.
Because they were broken into pieces, hiding in various places to carry out guerrilla warfare, and traveling all year round to help the enslaved humans in Talengard escape from the clutches of the clutches, these resistance fighters were seriously short of supplies.
Their armor was severely damaged, and some teams even shared a standard long sword among several people, while others used farm tools as weapons.
However, a high-spirited fighting spirit is contained in the eyes of these fighters.
They believe that the invading powerful enemy cannot destroy their homeland and that this war will eventually be won.
They once imagined that the unconquered pioneer area in the south would one day launch a counterattack and liberate Talengard.
But in the long period of time, all they faced was endless waiting.
There are not many inside lines left in Talengard, and efforts to rescue compatriots are becoming increasingly difficult. The living space is gradually being driven from the hills and urban ruins around Talengard to the dim underground world.
Until this day, under the introduction of Ranger Captain Dewey, Captain Umberto and Starwind Lord Li Ran met for the first time.
Umberto was a courageous leader. He gave an order for people to knock down their tents, pack their bags, count their heads, and leave the mouse holes where they were hiding. Except for the rebel fighters who still had intelligence responsibilities, other members of the Griffin Claws and
The troops will go to Starwind City through the portal in Black Cliff.
One by one, the resistance fighters came out of their hiding places and formed streams, flowing down from the rocks in the underground world.
One week later.
The warriors of the Griffin Claw arrive at Starwind City.
According to the request of the lord, Starwind City held a grand celebration for the first time since its recovery.
It is not only to celebrate the victory over the demon army, but also to welcome the returning compatriots.
That night, an open-air banquet was held in the central square.
Grand Consul Malen ordered people to take out all the ale, make bread filled with delicious fillings, and raise dozens of warm and warm bonfires. Barbecuing was performed on the bonfires, including the plump lake fish from the Dragon Calling Fjord,
There are also game products from the Fengling Plains.
The survivors of the fjord, the returning members of the resistance, and the invited dark elves sat on the ground in the square, enjoying the taste of food, peace and reunion among the laughter and laughter.
On one side of the square, Jamil and Tricia were sitting by the bonfire. The firelight illuminated the girl's beautiful smiling face, and Jamil drank the ale in one gulp.
He patted his chest and said proudly: "Tricia, that was a really dangerous voyage! The Edelweiss almost hit a rock. If it weren't for my good command skills, you wouldn't be able to see me!"
Tricia wondered: "Oh? I heard that Ms. Ibeth is using magic to control the ship..."
Jamil was drunk and said angrily: "Who is talking nonsense? By the way, Tricia, do you want to hear the story about me using a ballista to kill the great demon warlord?"
While Jamil was boasting, Tricia moved her face closer and gently pressed her lips on his stubble.
"Stop talking, my warrior!"
Jamil's eyes widened for a moment, staring at the bonfire blankly, at a loss.
Not far away, Grand Consul Mullen was making arrangements for the banquet. Seeing this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Youth is such a beautiful and precious thing."
The trainee consul Payne, who was holding a pile of honey bread in his hand, passed by him and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Mullen, what did you just say?"
Malen put on a serious face, kicked Pine, and said seriously: "The food hasn't been served yet, Lord Lord, hurry up!"
Pine sullenly walked through the carnival people. Some of them were sitting on the ground by the bonfire, while others were dancing hand in hand around the bonfire. Because the honey bread in his arms blocked his view, he could only remind him loudly.
People in front of you should get out of the way.
When a dark elf stalker passed by Pine, he unceremoniously took away a piece of honey bread and ate it heartily.
He made a bad start. The humans and dark elves passing by Paine started to eat. By the time Paine came to Li Ran's long table, his hands were empty.
Li Ran asked in confusion: "Pine? What can I do for you?"
Pine said in frustration: "It's okay, Lord...I will try again!"
Looking at the dejected back of the trainee consul, Li Ran couldn't help but shake his head. This young man who had been chased by the Explosive Bear was still so reckless.
On the high platform at the north end of the square, Lord Li Ran and his bodyguard Eureka Knight sat together, while Yibes, as the ruler of Black Cliff, sat next to him.
As an undead person who cannot eat or drink, Dark Knight Hart will be solely responsible for the defense of Starwind City on this dangerous night.
Captain Umberto and Captain Dewey of the Griffin Claws were sitting on the high platform with Li Ran, watching the laughing crowd.
Umberto is a middle-aged man with a square face and a gray beard. The long years of struggle have made his eyes cold and sharp. But even such a tough guy doesn't mind having a few more drinks at today's celebration.
Because the existence of Star Wind City is a miracle, and everyone at the banquet hopes that this miracle can continue to exist like this.
"Lord Li Ran," Umberto raised the ale, and the large wine glass was as funny as a toy in his broad palm. He looked at Li Ran with burning eyes and said: "To Lord Li Ran! To humans and to the undead.
Alliance with the Dark Elves!"
Unexpectedly, his loud voice was used to issuing orders, and the shout immediately spread throughout half of the square.
The people in the carnival gradually calmed down, and their eyes looked blazingly towards the high platform at the north end of the square, looking at their only common leader - the one who led Starwind City and Black Cliff to defeat the demon army and return the Griffin Claws to the land of light.
Lord Li Ran.
This was obviously not Emberto's original intention. His face was obviously a little embarrassed. This middle-aged man who had not experienced peace for a long time had long forgotten the cumbersome rules in daily life, but at this moment, there was only pure innocence in his eyes.
Respect.
Li Ran stood up and faced his people and subordinates. He raised his head and drank the ale in one gulp. He shouted loudly: "To the resistance warriors of Gryphon Claws!"
He drank another drink: "To the people of Star Wind City and Black Cliff!"
After drinking the third glass, the unique strong alcoholic power of wild wheat wine made him dizzy. Li Ran tried to stabilize his body and said again: "To the Gods of Order and to the divinely chosen warriors who protect us! Victory and glory belong to us!"
Captain Umberto and the people in the audience also picked up their glasses and drank in one gulp.
Under Li Ran's instigation, the atmosphere of the banquet reached a climax, and everyone was intoxicated in such an atmosphere of reunion and tranquility.
Li Ran and Captain Umberto talked about each other's experiences of struggling to survive in the enemy-occupied area. When they mentioned the emotional point, the two equally passionate men burst out laughing.
In such a warm atmosphere, a burst of singing sounded, and gradually, people were attracted by the singing.
The singer was a female warrior named Lena from the Claws of the Gryphon. Before the war, she was a slightly famous bard. She was trapped in Talengard during the demonic invasion. After successfully escaping, she joined
Dewey's Ranger Company.
But singing can't deal with the devil, she also lost all her instruments, and even she forgot that she still had this skill.
After arriving in Starwind City, she was pleasantly surprised to find a dusty lute. So, after many years, she strummed the strings again and sang for people by the campfire.
This song is the "Ranger Song" that the Griffin Claw warriors often sing.
Lian Na used the rough fingers holding the sword to pluck the strings slightly awkwardly, as if she were facing a long-separated lover.
The lute, which had been silent for countless years, once again played beautiful music.
"The desolate rain was freezing all night, and I returned to my wife and children in my dream."
“I walked through the hills and returned home, only the roar of the devil echoed”
