lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Magician Ryan!
Twenty-two days have passed since the orcs launched the attack. The bear clan warriors pointed out that the human defenses were repeatedly torn apart. Now the orcs have invaded the central area of Fernando City, high in the distance. The Royal Observatory is already in sight.
However, it was not all smooth sailing for the orcs to get here. The Bear Clan had at least paid the price of 10,000 warriors killed on the battlefield, and the other three clans combined also paid more than 50,000 casualties. As for the smaller ones, In the tribe, many elite fighters have been completely wiped out, and they have to withdraw from the battlefield.
Although the price paid by the orcs was great, the human losses were even more tragic. At least 1.5 million humans were killed in this catastrophe, and more than 2 million people were left homeless and had to live in the central area of the imperial capital, whether it was the palace. The houses of those nobles were full of ragged refugees.
Fernando City has been hoarding supplies all the time since the establishment of Fernando City, so even though millions of people are crowded together, humans can barely survive, while the orcs, as long as they looted the human farms, manors, etc. outside the city. You can get enough food wherever you are. Although the orcs mostly live on meat and don’t like the wheat and other foods grown by humans, it’s definitely not a problem to satisfy their hunger.
At this point in the battle, there is nothing left to say. If you persist until you win, or be dragged down by your opponent, there is no third way to go. The orcs want to break the imperial capital to consolidate their newly-occupied land in the South Taren prairie, while the humans must fight to the death, because the Holy Alliance Empire has no actual control area in the south and lacks sufficient strategic space. The imperial capital fell, and these millions of people would be slaughtered by the orcs. Thinking about that tragic fate would make people shudder.
"Huh!" Dozens of huge stone bullets whizzed through the air. This was an attack by the orcs. Under this high-density stone throwing attack, the human defenders could no longer form a square formation. Against the enemy, this also means that the most effective infantry phalanx used by humans to resist the orcs is difficult to use.
In order to reduce casualties, a large number of human warriors had to hide in the buildings, relying on those buildings built with stones to defend against the stone bullets thrown by the orcs. The stone bullets sent by the orcs flew in the air for more than ten seconds, and then they pierced one end, or hit the building, stirred up dust and bounced back to the ground, or penetrated those buildings that were not very strong, and fell directly on Inside the house.
After about twenty stone-throwing attacks, the orcs stopped the attack and began to send soldiers to advance, preparing to take the human defense line, while the human warriors slowly walked out of the shelter in groups of three or five. Coming out, shook the weapon in the hand, and looked at the orc warrior approaching with expressionless expression.
Because the human side lacks enough archers, there is no way to form a repressive arrow rain attack. Only when the orcs approach, they use feather arrows to sneak attack the orcs with feathers on their heads. The two sides have been fighting for so many days. Humans have figured out that this feather is a unique mark of orc commanders.
However, such sneak attacks are usually not very effective, because the orcs respected by force and can be promoted to commanders, their personal combat power is much higher than others, even if they are sneaked by human shooters, most of them can Avoiding or directly blocking them for the first time, even if they were careless for a while, being shot a few arrows would make these strong orc commanders unbearable in pain, and on the contrary aroused their fierceness.
When the orcs attacked the human line of defense, the hand-to-hand combat began. The humans formed a small-scale phalanx and used the terrain to fight to the death against the orcs, while the orcs relied on their individual bravery to forcibly break through. The battle is fierce and not static. Orcs attack human defenses. From time to time, several orcs form a charge formation to break through human defenses, but they will soon be surrounded by more human reinforcements, and then use their own numbers. The advantage is killed. However, these humans will use the advantage of a local population to launch a countercharge to suppress the orcs, but once the human formation becomes larger, they will be attacked by stone throwing from behind the orcs, and soon have to retreat due to heavy losses. As a result, more orcs used this as a breakthrough point and began to forcibly assault again.
The battle ended in a stalemate, but as a whole, the human line of defense was still being eaten by the orcs a little bit, and the royal observatory in the distance became clearer. The streets were full of corpses, most of which were humans, but there were also many orcs. In many cases, the two sides even directly piled these corpses together to form a bunker as a temporary line of defense for themselves. The human side has long since disappeared from the fear of the beginning of the war. Under the baptism of blood and fire for twenty days, a large number of human soldiers have grown from recruits to veterans. These veterans will soon be replaced and accepted by the pastors from the rear. After a short break, they will bring more recruits back to the front line.
When the next batch of veterans who can return to the rear alive begins to rest, the pastors who treat the wounds will find that it is difficult to find familiar faces here, and the war is so cruel. Since the war, the only thing that can maintain the organization on the human side is the Royal Knights of Orlando. These knights who have undergone harsh training have become the backbone. They fought bravely on the front line to kill the enemy, bringing out a number of A group of qualified veterans never withdrew to rest. x
Although the orcs have been equipped with a large number of sharper iron weapons, it is still very difficult to split the armor of the holy knight that is blessed with magic, not to mention the holy knight in terms of personal combat power. , Can easily defeat the orcs ten times their own, and under their inspiration, more and more human warriors have forgotten their timidity and joined the battle bravely.
Ryan and others never participated in the battle after returning to the Royal Observatory, because with the deepening of the orc offensive, the Royal Observatory, which is the center of human command, was also greatly threatened. Ryan must begin to fulfill himself. Duty to protect Catherine’s safety. However, under the control of the royal magician, the magical defense of the royal observatory can completely block the stone bullets flying in the air, so there is no need to worry about accidental injury.
Standing behind to watch the battle is actually a kind of suffering. Standing on the high viewing platform, Ryan can see the scene several kilometers away. He can clearly see the front line of humans and orcs fighting. Seeing the orcs raising the axe to chop off the heads of the human warriors, seeing the orcs expanding their offensive step by step, seeing the humans consuming the orcs’ viable power at a cost of fifteen to one, Ryan suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. feel.
Yes, Ryan’s heart is full of confusion. He knows that his strength is very good among human magicians, but in the face of such a situation where hundreds of thousands and millions of people are fighting, Ryan can never stop. The release of thousands of fireballs is nothing more than to delay the enemy's attack. Moreover, once the orcs are overwhelming and Ryan is attacked by the enemy, it is impossible for him to be unharmed, and it is impossible for him to cast his spells without interference.
After all, the road that Ryan and Allendor are currently walking mainly tends to be fast and slow. Allendor’s speed need not be elaborated. Ryan is also doing his best to preemptively and then madly cast spells to suppress opponents. Fight back until the final victory. This method is quite effective in small-scale battles, but once faced with tens of thousands of enemies, if Ryan's side cannot have a large number of determined teams to help support the defense, Ryan can only do it while playing. Retire, barely protect himself.
Tens of thousands of battles form a square formation, which almost tells the orcs: "Hurry up and hit me with a boulder!", so this method is not feasible. Ryan thought about it, but couldn't think of a perfect solution to the human dilemma in front of him. He also planned to take an elite force to sneak attack on the orcs' stone dumping position. But this thought only took a turn in Ryan's mind, and he left it behind.
The appearance of orcs and humans are very different. Both parties cannot sneak in secretly after putting on makeup, and there is no need to worry about the spy of the opponent. However, this double-edged sword also makes it difficult for humans to grasp the specific location of the orc drapery position. . The range of the orc’s boulder is about 1,000 to 1,500 meters. It’s a daunting task to cross the orc’s control area so far, go deep behind the orc to find the other’s constantly changing target without being discovered. Task.
Faras quickly became aware of Ryan’s thoughts. She knew Ryan’s thoughts were a bit extreme. After all, when fighting the orcs, the entire mankind, or at least the entire imperial capital, was responsible for the entire human race. What about the back? So Faras found a suitable time to enlighten Ryan vaguely, and Ryan also opened his mind under the reminder of his close lover. He no longer thinks about meaningless things because of the military command on the human side. The official is Orlando, and he Ryan, as long as he earnestly completes his task to protect Queen Catherine, it is enough.
Now Queen Catherine will use the amplified magic circle to give a speech to the humans in the city almost every few hours, showing that she has not left yet, and inspiring everyone's morale. The result of this has indeed greatly encouraged humans, but it also allowed the orcs to find the vitality of humans. In the last three days, the orcs increased their forces to attack the royal observatory seven times and successfully confirmed the royal observatory. The location of the station.
This is really no one to blame, because the orcs attack in other directions, as long as they increase their strength, they can advance a little, but the direction of the royal observatory alone is often fierce and difficult to move. If you don’t understand the human command In which direction the center is, the orc commander is really an idiot. Originally in the battle, the command center of the army moved according to the actual situation of the battle, but in the entire imperial capital, only the royal observatory has a magic array with amplified sound. If Catherine leaves here, wouldn’t it make everyone misunderstand that she has fled, so morale? It will definitely collapse on a large scale.
Based on all these accidents and inevitability, the Imperial City offensive and defensive battle ushered in the fiercest battle to defend the Royal Observatory.
