lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Magician Ryan!
Thor fortress, military command post.
Orlando and others are now seriously discussing the war. In the past period of time, the human defenders have achieved quite good results. The offensive orcs have lost almost 300,000 soldiers, and their offensives are getting better day by day. One day is weak, and the morale of the human defenders is getting stronger and stronger, and the war is developing in a direction that is beneficial to mankind.
"General Orlando, this is the state of the battle today." General Clark stood on the military map hung on the wall and said loudly, "In addition, based on our observations in recent days, the orcs seem to have lost a lot of troops. The 100,000 people who come out to plunder the formations are still organized."
Orlando nodded, and Keenster interjected: "According to our previous analysis, this year the orcs have aggressively attacked. It is likely that their ruler has come to weaken the strength of other lords. The 100,000 elite fighters are mostly It is directly under the ruler of the orcs. Now the purpose of the orcs is about to be achieved. They are only 500,000, and now there may only be less than 200,000 left. If the manpower continues to wear down, it may not even be enough for grazing and hunting. I suggest Strengthen the surveillance of the orcs camp. If the orcs retreat and immediately dispatch cavalry to follow and pursue them, it may be possible to establish peace in the northern defense line of the empire for the next 20 years in one fell swoop."
Orlando nodded and did not speak, but in his heart, he did not agree with Keernst’s optimistic mood, but everything was beneficial to the human defenders. In the past two days, the orcs even had a stone thrower and The siege vehicle was gone, and he rushed up directly carrying the wooden ladder, and Orlando could only put his doubts in his heart.
Orlando said: "Recently, the situation has gradually benefited us, but you must not take it lightly. After all, the orcs have not retired. Especially at night defense, you must be careful."
"Please rest assured." Keenster said loudly: "My adjutant Hans is fully responsible for this matter. He has my most elite troops and the assistance of thousands of mercenaries from the south, absolutely foolproof! "
Orlando saw that Keenster was overly optimistic and tried to persuade him a few words, but before he could speak, he heard a voice outside the door: "Report! The Imperial Courier is urgent!"
Everyone in the military command post was taken aback, not knowing what happened, Orlando raised his brows and said loudly: "Let him in!"
The door was pushed open, and the three holy knights walked in in stride. The leader who saw Orlando at a glance, raised his right fist and lightly pounded his chest, made a knightly salute, and said, "Orlando Commander, the imperial capital urgently, please read it separately!"
Orlando remembers that this knight’s name is Arnold. He only became a holy knight three years ago. He should be a small captain now. Now he has delivered the letter personally. Orlando saw the look on the knight’s face and suddenly felt in his heart. With an unknown premonition, he waved his hand and said, "You guys go out first!"
Kienst and the others walked out with curiosity, and even the two men who followed the lead knight backed out. When there was only one knight in the command post, Orlando asked: "Arnold, what is going on?"
Arnold did not answer Orlando’s words. He just took out a sealed letter from next to him, and then handed it to Orlando. Orlando took out the letter paper in a few clicks, opened it, and saw that it read: "Bright On the evening of August 4, 202, Chad rebelled and His Majesty Fernando XIII was martyred."
Orlando looked at the letter paper in his hand incredibly, only feeling heavy. His eyes were straight, his lips were dry, and he said in a dry voice: "Your Majesty, is your Majesty martyred?"
Arnold whispered: "Yes, leader."
Orlando only felt a sudden heat in his chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, staining the letter paper in his hand red, and the letter paper slowly fell to the ground.
"Ah, captain, you" Arnold was taken aback. He hurriedly stepped forward to hold Orlando, who pushed him away hard and sat straight on the chair. "I'm fine, Arnold." Orlando said lightly: "What the **** is going on, you tell me the whole process in detail!"
Arnold heard pain and sorrow from Orlando's plain tone. Knowing that Orlando was in a very bad mood at the moment, he lowered his voice and told the whole story of what happened that night. Although in many cases it is impossible to know the details as Arnold, he also led his subordinates to fight on the line of counterinsurgency at the time, so Catherine selected him to deliver the letter.
Orlando silently listened to Arnold recounting what happened that night, and suddenly asked: "What's the motive? If Chad really wants to rebel, I leave the capital and Luke is removed from his post. It is a good opportunity, but he What good can it have? He is already under one person and above ten thousand people. Does he want to be his majesty himself, and he can block my Royal Knights?"c mobile phone interview a
"This" Arnold hesitated for a moment. He said cautiously, "This is not clear, but Queen Catherine and Lord Luke said the same, and, at the time, in the Royal Banquet Hall, many people watched it. When His Majesty died in Chad’s arms, and then De Silva the Great Magister came with someone. He was responsible for guarding the palace that night. Without knowing what he said to Chad, Chad began to mobilize the army."
Orlando let out a long sigh. He knew from this alone that there might be an inside story. It's a pity that he was no longer in the imperial capital that night, otherwise he would be responsible for the safety of the palace. In that case, who could hurt your Majesty. As for Luke, Orlando doesn't have to think about it. Anyway, if Chad is eliminated, Luke will naturally be in the upper position and hold the power. Luke will not refuse in any case, let alone carefully investigate the truth that night.
"Is it Luke?" Orlando's heart moved, because all the benefits of the whole thing belong to Luke. This suspicion is too great, but he changed his mind and gave up the idea because he Knowing who Luke is, and at the same time, Luke is also well aware of the power of the royal knights he governs. Even if Luke has 200,000 elite fighters in his hands, he can't resist the charge of the 10,000 holy knights of the royal knights on the plain. Orlando wouldn't think that Luke would take a huge risk to do this. What's more, Luke has been dismissed from his post. He really wants to mobilize the army. How can he hide it from others?
"Luke, don't be you, otherwise, I'll have to be sorry for Sophia!" Orlando shook his head slightly. Now he can't figure out what happened, and he has been loyal to the king. He died unclearly like this. Once the news spreads, the empire will definitely be in chaos. Orlando’s top priority now is to return to the imperial capital immediately. Only the powerful royal knights stationed in the imperial capital can truly deter the Quartet and allow the empire to pass the present steadily. Difficulties.
Orlando closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. After a while, he opened his eyes and said to Arnold: "This matter must be absolutely confidential, and there must be no leakage."
"Yes, my lord." Arnold whispered: "However, this incident happened 5 days ago. Even if we keep the secret no matter how secretly we keep it, it will always be passed here for more than 10 days. Yes, adults please respond early."
Orlando nodded and said, "I see, you guys go down and rest first, and I will send someone to protect you." Arnold did not speak. Orlando did this as he expected. Although he didn't know the content of the letter, But who did not know what happened in the imperial capital? Arnold knew the importance of this news well, even if it was Thor Fortress, he only vaguely said about the urgent letter, and never said anything about it.
After sending Arnold away, Orlando made up his mind in a moment. He must rush back to the imperial capital. The succession to the throne and the stability of the empire require his personal presence in order to avoid problems, but his majesty’s martyrdom This matter is too important to be made public yet. What he needs most now is time.
Orlando immediately recruited Keynst. After he left, this place was naturally the biggest in Keynst, and he could only tell him anything in private.
"General Keynst, things are like this. Now that time is tight, I won’t say anything more. I will take all the knights back to the imperial capital. This power is very important to the stability of the empire. After I leave, you The news should be blocked as much as possible, so as not to cause turmoil in the whole army, and be vigilant against the orcs and must not be taken lightly."
"There is another very important thing, and that is Chad’s son Bailey. You will arrest him right now. You will not be able to speak out for the time being. First, you will be held in secret. Several of the 200 magicians are also related to Chad. You can ask Ryan for help in this matter. Ryan's relationship with Farasi is so unusual that it is naturally impossible to leak. Ryan easily defeated Bailey in the Royal Tournament last year, and his strength can definitely be subdued. He is. The Androcos Magister is not inclined to either Luke or Chad before. He has consulted Victor for magic and should be trustworthy."
After giving Keenster's detailed instructions, Orlando mounted his horse, led 500 of his men and left first. It was too noticeable for 5000 people to pull out at the same time. Orlando has already arranged the rest. Those 4,500 people will leave in batches over the next three days.
After sending Orlando away, Keynst immediately invited Ryan and Androkos, as well as Farath. In Keynst’s view, Luke was in the position, and Farath’s identity became very special. Of course, this time Make a difference. When Keenster informed the three of what happened in the imperial capital and the hurried departure of Orlando, even Androcos, who had always been neutral, took a breath, not to mention Faras and Ryan, who were closely related to Luke. .
Under Keynst's arrangement, he invited Bailey and several magicians who were inclined to Chad, respectively, and Ryan and Androkos shot together to subdue them one by one. Bailey didn’t know what this was for. It wasn’t until after he was tightly **** that he learned the news of his father’s rebellion from Keernst’s mouth. Of course he knew that his father couldn’t do that, otherwise it would be early. Just send someone to notify him or simply not let him come to Thor Fortress, but who will listen to him to explain. Keenster simply had someone plug his mouth with a cloth strip, and then selected 40 guards to secretly imprison them. Each magician has 4 long swords on his neck. As long as there is any change, immediately Grid kill.
After doing all this, Keenster looked at the north with ambition, the imperial capital was in chaos, and the starry night in Orlando returned, then the feats of defeating the orcs would ultimately belong to him. With these credits, he was transferred back to the imperial capital to serve basically Nothing can be changed.
