lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Magician Ryan!
Ellendor helped Ryan out of the tent. The town of Giethoorn in front of him was completely gone from the scene of Lion and the others when they first arrived. The entire town of Giethoorn had been cleaned up and buried, and the battlefield of two days ago was basically kept intact. : The burned trees, the blood stains that have penetrated the ground, all tell of the fierce battle two days ago.
Ryan shook his head. He knew that most of it was caused by his own fireball technique. He didn't want to do this, but the situation was critical at the time. In order to get rid of the thieves, he could only do so. Ryan has no guilt about this.
Under the guidance of Ellendor, Ryan saw Bacon in a corner of Giethoorn. The leader of this holy knight grew a beard. It seems that the pressure in his heart has been very high in the past two days.
When Bacon saw Ryan coming over, he greeted him with enthusiasm, clenched his right hand and stroked his left chest, doing a standard royal knight ceremony. It's a pity that Ryan hasn't seen it. He thought everyone had to meet him like this, and followed Bacon awkwardly. He punched his right chest with his left hand, causing Bacon and the holy knights to smile kindly.
Ryan scratched his head, wondering why the knights laughed.
Bacon smiled and explained to Ryan: "This action of mine is a unique salute to the Royal Knights. You are not a knight. You imitate and do it completely wrong. You should use your right hand and your left hand. You should use your left hand gently. On the left chest, you are thumping vigorously on the right chest."
Ryan laughed after listening to Bacon's explanation.
This sincere laughter immediately brought the two parties closer together.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Bacon invited Ryan and Allendor to have lunch with him, Ryan and Allendor gladly accepted.
The three of them sat around a small wooden table, eating and talking.
Bacon first talked about his own affairs to Ryan and Allen.
Almost 20 days ago, Senat rebelled. This Senate is the lord of Mori City, a city in the southeastern part of the Empire. The geographical location of Mori City is very important, as it is a necessary route connecting the imperial capital, the commercial city of Yegnas and the largest port city of Sea Breeze.
Senna's special selection time was very good. It took advantage of the opportunity of the North Thor Fortress to change defenses, the recruits are still training, and the veterans should go home and rest. At this time, the Empire couldn't draw enough troops in a short period of time!
The commander of the Royal Knights, General Orlando, decided to take a dangerous move, and personally led the Royal Knights, who was in charge of the security of the imperial capital and the palace, to counter the rebellion. Although Orlando only took five thousand holy knights, he was still known as the **** of war in the empire. He was still cleverly arranged, which made Senat's rebels exhausted, and finally had to fight the holy knights who were best at charging on the plains outside Mori City.
Although Senat has a thousand heavy infantry who are good at dealing with cavalry, and two thousand archers, but his cavalry force is not enough, only less than 500 people, barely used as scouts. Orlando relies on nearly perfect on-the-spot command to fight fast and slow to form a local superior force, bypassing the defensive positions of the heavy infantry, and cutting into the archer's position. After solving the archer, the holy knights have no enemies that can threaten them. . Orlando easily commanded the Holy Knights to slaughter the 30,000 Infantry Corps of Senat, but the only heavy infantry that could cause damage to the Knights could not catch up with the Holy Knights because of extremely poor mobility. After a bitter battle, Orlando finally commanded the Holy Knights to defeat the rebels of Senat.
Unfortunately, Senat saw that the battle was not good, and quickly fled the battlefield under the protection of personal guards. The "left hand" that Ryan dealt with in Giethoorn was Sainat's personal guard captain.
Orlando, after all, is the highest military officer in the imperial capital and cannot stay out for a long time. To counter the rebellion, he transferred the Royal Knights that originally defended the imperial capital. For the safety of the imperial capital, Orlando had to terminate the fighting and return quickly. However, before Orlando returned to the imperial capital, Bacon was ordered to lead 200 holy knights to continue chasing Senate.
Bacon led his team to follow Senat to the edge of the South Tarun Prairie. Along the way, Bacon fought against Senat’s army repeatedly, and suffered a lot of losses, but the results were also great, annihilating nearly 1,000 people at Senat.
Maybe it was because of the loss of no cavalry outside the city of Moree. After coming to the South Talun Prairie, Sainat began to send people around to rob herders’ horses. After several consecutive robberies, he was finally overtaken by Bacon. Unexpectedly, Senat was so scheming. He sent someone to pretend to be carrying bacon on the prairie for two days, consuming the strength of the holy knight, and then setting up an ambush in the town of Giethoorn.
As a holy knight, Bacon swears in front of the gods of light to defend honor and protect the weak with his life. Therefore, knowing that Senat may have set a trap, he has to rush into Giethoorn without hesitation. After all, there are nearly 1,000 herdsmen in Giethoorn. If Sainat is allowed to come here, he will suffer heavy losses.
Ryan and Allendo knew what happened later, and Bacon didn't elaborate.
Ryan asked about the casualties of the holy knight. Bacon's face was full of melancholy. He said softly: "200 brothers, there are only less than forty people left."
Ryan accidentally asked about Bacon's sadness and felt very sorry, but Bacon could afford it and let it go. In turn, he comforted Ryan again and again, so that Ryan should not care too much. From the day Bacon and the others became holy knights, defending honor with their lives was their greatest pursuit.
Bacon asked about Ryan and Allendor’s plans. Ryan thought for a while and said, "I and Allendor learned a lot this time. We plan to return to Elfa City first and turn this experience into With his precious experience, after the victory day, I will go to the imperial capital." Ryan also told Bacon about his preparation to participate in the Royal Athletic Tournament.
Bacon is very happy. The Holy Knights will send people to participate in the Royal Tournament every year. Maybe in this year's tournament, Bacon still has a chance to play against Ryan.
Ryan is also looking forward to playing against the Holy Knights in the competitive competition. Throughout the history of the Holy Empire, the Holy Knights have been the backbone of the empire and have won many championships in competitive competitions. Orlando was just an ordinary knight 20 years ago. He was a blockbuster at the Royal Tournament that year. He was appreciated by Fernando XII at the time and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. Eventually became the head of the Royal Knights, representing the strongest power in the empire!
Just as the three were talking, two holy knights escorted an old man over. Ryan accidentally saw that the old man turned out to be Mayor Zheli Le.
Bacon saw that his subordinates had brought Philosopher over, and he said sorry to Ryan and Allendo, and interrupted the conversation between the three of them. Then he stood up and said to Zhelile, "Mayor Zhelile, I hope you can tell me where are almost one third of the herdsmen in Giethoorn?"
Zhe Lile glanced at Bacon without saying a word. He stared at Ryan tightly. If his eyes could kill, maybe Ryan had died dozens of times.
Ryan said to Bacon: "Bacon, Alan and I have seen this Mayor Jerry Le and Sainat stand together. It seems that they are very familiar with each other. And Achim in Giethoorn He killed it himself."
Zhe Lile's mouth was panting heavily, his fists clenched in both hands, his eyes fixed on Ryan tightly. Suddenly he let out a long sigh and put down his hands, with a helpless look on his face.
Bacon listened to Ryan's words and asked Zelliler: "Mayor Zelliler, the accusation of this magician Ryan against you, do you have anything to say?"
Zhe Lile seems to be a few dozen years old suddenly. He said decadently: "I really regret that I shouldn't have released that mercenary mission. I planned to use this mission to bring the soul-eater's killer into Giethoorn. , But came here. Two guys who didn’t know the heights of the earth took the task ahead of time, and it ruined my plan for many years."
Ryan asked: "If I guessed correctly, you have been in contact with Sainat before. You actually launched Achim on purpose, right?"
Zhe Lile said: "Yes, with Achim, people who disobey me in Giethoorn will come close, and I can use the power of thieves to eliminate them all."
Ryan asked: "What you told me that night was false, right?"
Zhe Lile hurriedly defended: "No, no. Our ancestors had countless glories, but when they settled down, they slowly lost that sturdyness. I had thought of working hard. Restore the glory of the ancestors, but this group of old stubborn people say that life is very stable now, and they don’t want to be like their ancestors. We are slowly falling, and this can’t go on. A few years ago, Lord Sainat sent someone to find it. Me, we gradually got in touch. I deliberately asked Azim to fight against me, so that I can prepare to use the power of Sainat to eliminate those who oppose me!"
Bacon was very disapproving of Zhelile's words. He said: "Zhelile, are you killing your own people for a so-called glory?"
Zhe Lile said disdainfully: "They are not worthy of being my people! The strength of a race is based on **** killing, no matter who it is, as long as he stands in the way, he will be ruthlessly eliminated. Fernando Wasn’t that what he did? How many lives did he kill to achieve the glory of the empire?"
Bacon yelled out: "Your Majesty Fernando is something you can talk about at will, his great achievements..."
"Huh!" Zhe Lile smiled contemptuously, and said: "No matter how great a feat is, he can kill more people. He can kill, why can't I?"
