It is easy to understand that the imperial knights and archangels appear here.
Why are the elves of Irollan and the dark elves of Yggwo Pool standing together?
In addition, there are many high-level undead knights...
Marianne asked suspiciously: "Ron, are these your subordinates?"
When Ron was about to say something, Li Ran, who was in the shadow disguise form, took the initiative to answer: "Yes, we are a mercenary group recruited by His Highness Ron."
Ron: "Ah this..."
Marianne nodded and asked: "I only know that you were conducting trials in the wilderness. After you came here, you discovered this battlefield. Ron, you also conquered the Mechanical City?"
This time, Li Ran immediately replied: "Yes, His Highness Ron cleverly attracted the monsters in the wilderness and captured the Machinery City. We are cleaning the battlefield and collecting the loot."
Ron: "..."
Archangel Marian showed a gratified smile: "Ron, it seems that you are not as simple as outsiders say. Your ingenious understanding of tactics already has the shadow of your father. I will report your actions to the Casting Star Council."
Report it truthfully."
Ron raised his hand and explained: "These are actually not me..."
"You don't have to be modest, Ron. I believe that the new Grand Guild of the Wolf Principality is a wise and courageous leader."
Humility is a rare virtue among the imperial nobles. Marianne was very satisfied with Ron's performance: "Go to Wolf City. The Casting Star Council has issued relevant resolutions to the frontline headquarters. The nobles and descendants of the Wolf Principality are waiting for them."
You return to take over the important responsibilities of the Grand Duke. You will directly lead the Wolf Principality to fight against the invasion of the mechanical tribe, and support the Falkenridge front line according to the overall situation of the war."
"In addition, after the war in the Wolf Principality stabilizes, please return to Falkenridge as soon as possible to attend the next meeting of the Casting Star Council. The situation in the development area is not optimistic."
Ron's face was full of words but he still couldn't stop.
Marianne smiled and said: "Grand Duke Ron, the Casting Star Council is looking forward to your performance. After arriving at Falkenridge, you can find me at the cathedral."
In Ron's desperate eyes, Marianne flew away.
...
After coming down the mountain, Ron found Li Ran on the city wall.
The new Grand Duke of the Wolf Principality stands side by side with the only field lord of the Griffin Principality.
Li Ran said softly: "It's hard to imagine that you are actually the son of the Evil Wolf Archduke."
Ron smiled and said: "I think your identity is more mysterious."
Li Ran asked: "If I don't stand up, are you going to refuse this appointment?"
"I've been tired of the hypocritical performances of nobles since I was a child," Ron said. "Because of this, my father sent me to the Terminator Swordsmen for training. If it hadn't been for Jorvik's fiasco, I would have become a member of the Terminator Swordsmen."
Chapter Master, not Lord Wolf."
Ron's resolute face showed a sad look: "Now even my brother has been killed by the Starbreaker..."
"Please grief."
Ron suddenly looked at Li Ran and expressed his attitude: "Brother Li Ran, thank you for your kindness. I know myself. I may be a good warrior, but I am not a qualified leader. Under the current situation, with my
The situation in the Wolf Principality is critical, and the position of Grand Duke should be occupied by a capable person. I will go to Falkenridge and let the Casting Star Council choose another capable person."
Even with Li Ran's knowledge, he was not only dumbfounded by Ron's performance.
This guy seems to have a very simple mind.
In order to save the principality, he not only risked his life and marched into the wilderness to fight the dragon, but now he also wanted to hand over the power of the entire Wolf Principality.
"Ron, there must be an evil force behind the murderer of your brother. It is not just a fanatical believer of the Star Breaker. Is it just that they killed your brother just to make you the new Grand Duke?"
"What's more," Li Ran continued his analysis, "the prophet who guided you to go to the wilderness to slay the dragon may not want to see you return safely."
Although Ron has a straightforward personality and disdains conspiracies and tricks, he is not stupid.
After being prompted by Li Ran, he immediately understood and frowned deeply: "In this way, if I don't take over as Grand Duke, wouldn't I let those hiding in the dark succeed?"
Li Ran struck while the iron was hot: "So, you must become the Grand Duke of the Wolf. Only in this way can you truly protect the Wolf Principality and prevent it from falling into the hands of people with evil intentions, and then find out who is behind the murder of your brother."
Ron laughed at himself: "Unfortunately, for so many years, I have only focused on practicing the way of swordsman. I have neither connections nor capable helpers in the empire. I am afraid this road will not be easy."
"Brother Li Ran," Ron said with burning eyes, "Can you... help me?"
Li Ran couldn't help but think.
Currently, the Wolf Principality has become the target of public criticism.
According to predictions released by the authoritative think tank of the Fantasy Sea Guild, the machine race will capture the entire Wolf Principality within half a year.
The mechanical tribe has established many mechanical cities in the occupied areas, and mechanical warriors can be continuously transmitted and produced through the Gate of Divine Punishment.
However, the Wolf Principality lacks a hematopoietic mechanism.
Not only was the economy severely damaged and affected by bad expectations, but the number of people who arrived within the country was also severely reduced.
Although Li Ran was willing to cooperate with Ron, he still looked cold on the surface and said: "The Wolf Principality is a mess. It is a difficult choice for me to help you."
After being rejected, Ron was not discouraged, but spoke eloquently:
"Brother Li Ran, your troops are quite powerful. I found that you have a powerful ballista unit hidden in the rear. At the same time, your willingness to conquer the Mechanical City for your fellow Dragon Knights proves that you are a man of good temper."
"You hide your identity in front of outsiders again and again. You must have some secret..." Ron said boldly, "No matter what secret you have, I can be sure of one thing - you are definitely not
Servant of the Starbreaker, then we can fight side by side."
Li Ran was a little surprised.
This grand duke's son does have some talents.
After realizing that he must shoulder the responsibility of being an archduke, Ron's perspective and thinking changed.
Li Ran couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Ron, you are a courageous person. What you are doing now may be one of your most important decisions."
"Yes, I have a secret," Li Ran continued, "and I will tell you this secret at the right time. If you ask for my help now, my answer is, I accept this invitation, and we
A cooperative relationship can be reached, you will gain my full support, and I will ask for your help."
Hearing Li Ran's answer, Ron finally felt relieved: "It is true that I have no right to order you to do anything now, not to mention that I don't even know the origins of you and your troops, but as a soldier, I believe
My gut feeling is that you will be a trustworthy collaborator."
Li Ran stretched out his hand and said: "Then, I hope we can have a happy cooperation, Grand Duke Ron."
Ron also extended his palm, and the two men held their hands together.
He didn't know that the person standing in front of him was the last actual lord in the Griffin Principality. He also couldn't imagine how many surprises Li Ran would bring to him and the Wolf Principality in the future.
Li Ran did not tell Ron about the existence of the Snowstorm and the Star Wind Territory.
The two have not known each other for a long time. Although they recognize each other, their hearts are unpredictable and it is still too early to say whether they have complete trust.
After formally reaching a cooperation, Li Ran and Ron immediately decided to return to the Wolf Fortress in accordance with Archangel Marian's request.
Currently, all the remaining resistance forces of the Wolf Principality are gathered here.
Whether it is the noble knights who control the principality's army or the advent players who command the huge guild, after receiving the appointment notice from the Casting Star Council, they are all waiting for the appearance of the new Grand Duke in the Wolf Fortress.
Here, Ron will officially take over as the Wolf Archduke, and Li Ran and his troops will appear as a mercenary group.
Why a mercenary group?
Because the mercenary group just explained that Li Ran's troops are a strange combination of dragons and knights, undead and dark elves.
Before setting off for Benlang Fortress, Li Ran divided his troops.
Pei Ji was happy to study the remains of the mechanical clan and the dormant Mechanical City. As for this cultist who had made up for his mistakes, Li Ran allowed him to stay in the Mechanical City to continue his research.
At Li Ran's request, Jamil will continue to lead the fleet and the griffon team to operate in the wilderness.
Their goal is to use the hidden advantages of the wilderness to build a secret port.
After the port conditions matured, the Buran immediately returned to sail and established a stable water transportation line through the Ila River.
Starwind Leader will use this transportation line to send a group of troops from Dragon Calling Port to establish a secret military stronghold in Savage City.
Although the speed of this transportation line is relatively slow, Starwind Leader will initially have the ability to exchange personnel and materials with the development zone.
After doing all this, Li Ran led his high-level troops and immediately headed to the Wolf Fortress with Ron.
...
It was dusk and the sky was dim.
Li Ran and his party of twelve people formed a strict formation and galloped on the open fields.
Eureka and six dark knights served as the vanguard, Salina and Baiyue in human form guarded the two wings, and Tia and Ibeth followed Li Ran as guards.
After a long journey, they had arrived at the territory of Silver Fang City near Benlang Fortress.
Looking at the dilapidated village passing by in the distance, Li Ran couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Even in war-torn areas of development, ordinary people's lives are not easy.
Suddenly, a group of people ran out of the deserted village.
Li Ran, who had dark vision, suddenly realized that it was a group of big-eared monsters riding giant wolves.
Looking at the number, there are more than twenty people.
In the dim sky, the voice of the Wolf Cavalry came from far away: "The Monster Hunter Guild is here! Stop for me! Hand over all your property and equipment!"
Ron said in a low voice: "There are people doing evil things so close to the Wolf Fortress. It's hard to imagine how bad the security situation in the Wolf Principality has become."
"I'll just clean up this pile of garbage for you," Li Ran said in a cold voice, "Eureka, let the Dark Knight destroy them."
Eureka, who was riding in front of the team, nodded.
She led the six dark knights to suddenly increase their speed and distance themselves from the team behind them.
When the leader of the wolf cavalry saw that the opponent was advancing instead of retreating, he was immediately surprised.
I've seen people kneel and kowtow for no money, but this is the first time I've seen people who don't want their lives.
Under the leadership of Ao Xing, the Monster Hunter Guild took the disaster of the Wolf Principality as an opportunity for development.
While other guilds were fleeing, most of the players in the Monster Hunter Guild moved to the Wolf Principality, intercepting and killing people and materials in the rear. Like vultures that had eaten their fill of corpses, the guild's strength expanded rapidly.
After this bandit group established a foothold near Silver Fang City, they used the giant wolves that were abundant in the area to arm themselves into wolf cavalry with strength comparable to the third level.
They intercepted and killed many transport teams in a row, attacked and killed countless players, and made a lot of money.
Now, the other party actually sent only six people to rush over.
This is an insult to them!
"Brothers, destroy them!" the big-eared monster roared, leading the twenty-three wolf cavalry to speed up and rush towards the six black cavalry.
The leader of the wolf cavalry rushed forward and realized that it was an ordinary rider who launched the attack.
Astonishingly, they were six undead knights wearing pitch black armor, riding armored horses, and holding cold swords!
Even though the level difference was too high and there was only a string of question marks on the opponent's information card, the leader of the Wolf Cavalry recognized it.
The Dark Knight only appeared in Starbreaker's undead army. Because of his stylish appearance and powerful combat power, he is very popular even as a villain.
The leader of the Wolf Cavalry fell into a daze.
Who is the opponent who can lead six powerful dark knights?
It's the Starbreaker! It must be a spy that the Starbreaker sneaked in!
Unfortunately, no matter what he guessed, he couldn't make a sound.
Because the moment the knights clashed, the cold blade of the Dark Knight killed the Wolf Cavalry.
Massacre, a one-sided massacre, a wave of charges from Monster Hunter Guild players killed two-thirds of the Wolf Cavalry.
The six dark knights split into two teams, changed directions, quickly killed the fleeing wolf cavalry, and returned to Li Ran's team.
"Well done, Eureka." Li Ran's praise earned the knight a smile.
On the vast land, this twelve-man cavalry team continued to gallop.
Looking at the corpses of Wolf Cavalry all over the ground, Li Ran couldn't help but think of the scene when he was chased by the Monster Hunter Guild several times when he first entered Broken Star.
At that time, he was just a poor miner in Greystone Town.
The fate may be in the hands of the system, in the hands of the players who are chasing him, in the hands of the undead and demons.
Astride the bumpy horse, he looked around at Eureka, Salina, Ibes and others who were protecting him, and glanced at his serious-looking ally - the Wolf Archduke Ron.
Li Ran tightened his grip on the fine iron feather sword at his waist.
For the first time, he deeply felt that his destiny was in his own hands!
Ahead, the last ray of skylight slowly sank into the horizon.
Endless darkness enveloped the earth.
Yibes releases a powerful light spell to illuminate the team's path forward.
After walking for a while, Li Ran and his party will arrive at Benlang Fortress.
There, Ron will take over as the Grand Duke of the Wolf, and he will put on a disguise mask and lead the power of Starwind City to the world for the first time as a mysterious mercenary leader.
Li Ran's heart beat violently like a lone wolf in the wilderness.
