lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Magician Ryan!

The Royal Knights of Orlando arrived at Pamela Town in the afternoon of the next day. Seeing Orlando and others who were still full of energy, Ryan couldn’t help but admire him, the Royal Knights. The regiment is worthy of being the most powerful army of mankind. Even if they travel thousands of kilometers day and night, they can still make the next attack immediately, and it is enough to defeat the opponent. At this point, none of the three elite troops built by Ryan could do it, and this is the biggest gap between the Imperial Capital and Cassano.

Soon, the entire Royal Knights was also settled down. Now the small town of Pamela plus the nearby military camp has stationed a full 120,000 population and more than 20,000 war horses. This is almost the imperial capital. You can take out all the strength to start a local battle.

"Lane, this is the topographic map of the western prairie." In the combat meeting, Orlando pointed to a giant map spread over a table and said to Ryan: "Our Pamela is here, and From here to the west, the entire 3,000 kilometers distance is an endless prairie."

Ryan’s gaze moved slowly along Orlando’s hands, and Orlando’s words continued to be heard in his ears: “In this environment, it’s impossible for us to cover our whereabouts. The army of tens of thousands Drinking water every day is a huge amount, not to mention the food consumed by people and horses."

"It is impossible for us to give up our luggage, because once the Clays implement the tactics of fortifying the walls and clearing the fields, we will soon collapse." Orlando took out a small flag and placed it gently on the river or on the map. On the lake, he smiled and said, "So, we just need to move forward step by step. Follow these rivers or lakes all the way to the west, while scouts are dispatched from all sides, as far as possible to destroy the Clay tribes and camps, and persecute them. Gather and fight with us."

"The amount of water stored in these rivers and lakes is extremely huge, and it is impossible for the Clay people to interfere with us by poisoning. At the same time, these water sources are also used by their herders for survival, and they have gathered to the maximum along the way. They are large and small tribes, as for how to find them, it is up to your archer corps."

Ryan nodded. Orlando's strategic arrangements are very secure. Although the army is dispatched and the rear is a little empty, many things can't be done immediately, but you should be careful not to fall into the opponent because of your impatient mood. In the trap of, so Ryan will temporarily let Alan Duo act as his lord, and will arrange everything before going out.

"Jonas, after Ryan's archer corps finds the enemy's position, if there are not many people, they will solve it by themselves, but if the strength is too strong, it will be attacked by you." Orlando saw Ryan did not When he disagrees, he said to Jonas: "The herdsmen of the Clay people live by water and grass. It is impossible to organize enough fighters to fight our tens of thousands of troops in a hurry, so we will be very smooth at the beginning."

Jonas nodded and said: "That's for sure, General Orlando, but with you and Ryan, no matter how strong the opponent is, we can defeat them!"

"No, the Royal Knights will not participate in the war!" Orlando said with a smile: "During the march, the scouts should let go as much as possible, and must hide the traces of the Royal Knights as much as possible. This is also ours. The reason for mobilizing so many horses. In addition to increasing our mobility, they can also confuse our enemies so that they will not notice that the Royal Knights are still hidden in it."

"Ah, this is?" Jonas asked suspiciously.

Without waiting for Orlando to explain, Ryan spoke first: "If you are the leader of the Clay clan, Jonas. When you know that a legion that you can't win head-on confrontation comes to your prairie, Would you still come to the door stupidly?"

"Ah, I understand!" Jonas gave a hard shot and said excitedly: "This way the enemy always thinks that we are just infantry on horseback, plus some excellent scouts. When the two main forces fight, the royal The Knights can suddenly charge, and at that time the Clay Clan has been unable to retreat!"

"That's it." Orlando said with a smile: "We are forced to fight against it, forcing them to engage in a war of attrition with us. Only in this way can we achieve the purpose of our expedition. Otherwise, the Clay clan will continue to migrate to the west. Have we been chasing them to the Hengduan Mountains?"

When the military meeting is over, Ryan is now accompanied by Orlando, as well as his old friends. This time, in order to conceal the Royal Knights as much as possible, Orlando even mobilized 4 Magisters from the Magic Guild of the Imperial Capital. Among them, Androcos and Melinda were among them. Meeting friends is naturally a lively event. The scene, especially when Ryan was swaggering in the imperial capital as Fabia, was naturally made fun of by Androcos and the others.

After the joke, Ryan and Androkos talked about using magic to hide their whereabouts. Androkos told Ryan that this time the entire coalition had 50,000 fighters and 20,000 logistics personnel. It is impossible for them to use magic to cover the battlefield. They can only detect the movement of the enemy through magic such as "magic eyes", so that the commander can dispatch scouts to the enemy as soon as possible.

For this, Ryan can’t do anything about it. After all, if Ryan can completely cover the traces of 70, 80,000 people, and even directly teleport these 70, 80,000 people to the hinterland of the Clay tribe with the "Gate of Time and Space" magic, then Ryan He was no longer a magician, but was comparable to the existence of the main god, which was obviously impossible. So the only thing Ryan can do is to take turns with Androcos and the others to maintain the operation of the "Magic Eyes" magic circle, and give Orlando an early warning of the enemy.

The entire expeditionary army came out at dawn on the third day. Ryan called all the captains of the 5ooo popular shooter to his side, gave detailed instructions, and then asked them to take their subordinates as a team. The foundation is in the surrounding realm of the main force. As in Cassano, the entire army of popular shooters had practiced as scouts, so it seemed like it did.

And Jonas led 20,000 square infantry and 20,000 archers as the main force, slowly marching westward under the guard of scouts. As for the 20,000 logistics soldiers, they were also selected from the imperial capital army. All the baggage is loaded on the cart, and then several people work together to push the cart forward, and maintain a two-line formation during the journey.

This two-line formation is one of the best ways to fight the enemy's cavalry harassment on the plain. Once you encounter an enemy light cavalry attack, just turn the carts in front and back of the formation and you can immediately be on the flat ground. To form a solid defensive position, a cart high enough to withstand the enemy's attack, and the soldiers in the position can stand by for assistance or counterattack.

The first day of the expeditionary army hardly gained anything. After all, the Clay clan and the imperial capitals have been in a state of war, and the residents of both sides cannot run to the other side and can hit their own way at any time. Settling down, Ryan’s popular shooters At the end of the day, I just met hundreds of scouts from the Clay clan. These scouts thought they could use their horses and bows to teach the invaders a lesson. Unexpectedly, Ryan’s popular archer gave them an unforgettable memory. .

As Ryan’s meticulously crafted Legion of Windrunners, the entire 5ooo of the Legion are all trained by outstanding Elf Wind Archers, Moon Temple guard Serres and others. The Mithril Longbows they are equipped with have a longer range. The hits were also more accurate, and those Clay scouts who planned to take advantage of them before leaving were all bitten by their white feathers and arrows.

However, starting from the second day of the expeditionary army, the popular archers in charge of vigilance encountered more difficult enemies. These Clay fighters were young and middle-aged men who were temporarily gathered from nearby camps. They are about 12oo people. Although the overall combat effectiveness is not as good as the real elite of the Clay clan, they can be regarded as a force that cannot be underestimated, who have lived on horseback since they were young.

The temporarily assembled Clay fighters were gathered together and prepared to ambush a popular shooter squad. The commander of the Clay fighters, Basel, is about 50 years old. It is the Clay fighters here. The military leader of the region. After the Basel commander heard the news that the imperial capital army had entered the grassland in a large scale, he immediately sent people to gather the young and middle-aged people from various tribes in a radius of over a hundred kilometers. At the same time, he also planned an ambush plan.

The Basel plan is very good. Once the ambush is successful, they can judge the enemy's situation through the enemy's corpse. Maybe they can get alive and ask about the enemy's strength and the main force carefully, and then the fire will send people to notify Ah. Chief Budul, not too big or too small, is also a credit.

Because the alert range of the Windrunner Army is over 5o kilometers, this is almost the limit of a normal horseback riding in a day, and Androkos and their "magic eyes" can't reach such a huge range. , So the popular shooters who were lured into the siege did not realize that they were about to step into a well-arranged trap.

The captain of the Windrunner Legion Amos was originally a shooter among the hunter tribes in the Silent Forest, but his family followed Letoz to migrate to Cassano, just in time for Cassano to form the Windrunner Legion. , So as an excellent hunter, Amos joined the army.

After a lot of cruel training, Amos not only was not eliminated, but because his original hunter has performed very well in training, even after the entire army is forming an army, he still uses his own excellence Achievement was promoted to team leader and gained the power to command 50 people.

On this day, he led a team to gallop on the grassland. Suddenly several elderly herders immediately threw away dozens of Tarun sheep that were grazing and fled, and the sensitive Amos immediately felt Since the elderly Clay people and sheep can be seen here, there are probably Clay pastures nearby, so they led the team to catch up.
