lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Magician Ryan!
The battle between Andreas and Orlando continues. Under Orlando’s planned and patient defense, Andreas could not take any advantage. His "Anger" and "Frost Whisper" swords and Orlando's "Passion" long sword and "Lion Pattern" shield are all Magic weapons have little difference in the effects of enchanting. When Orlando is fully defensive, even Andreas, the swordmaster, cannot break through the protection of the holy knight in a short period of time.
In order to defeat the opponent, Andreas used various methods. He disturbed Orlando's sight with his unpredictable figure, but Orlando could completely block the passage from Andreas to the top of the Royal Observatory by simply moving where he stood. Andreas wanted to continue. So I had to face Orlando. In order to quickly cross the blockade of Orlando, Andreas directly waved his swords in his hand and launched continuous stabs at the same part of Orlando, but Orlando just gently waved the lion-patterned shield in his hand, and Andreas could be easily controlled. The attack was blocked.
Under the action of the thought of quick fight and quick decision, Andreas even showed one flaw after another, attracting Orlando to attack him. In his opinion, Orlando’s defenses can be described as airtight, but this holy The Cavaliers will always reveal some flaws in the offensive and defensive transitions, but Orlando is so slow and stubborn that Andreas is at odds with each other. Regardless of whether Andreas deliberately exposed the flaws or there is a loophole, Orlando just stays unmoved, just Firmly block the passage leading Andreas to the top of the viewing platform.
In this way, the most powerful attack point of the orcs, Sword Saint Andreas was dragged down by the human holy knight Orlando. In this way, it is almost impossible for the orcs to break through as quickly as before. This is indeed a good thing for mankind, at least no one will die under that hurricane until Orlando is defeated.
However, Orlando can only hold Andreas alone, and his human warriors can’t stop the onslaught of the orcs, especially after the orc shaman sacrifices at the cost of life, the blood guards of the Beast Emperor’s lineage The attack was even sharper, not to mention the human recruits who were temporarily recruited, even those elite troops who had undergone rigorous training were losing ground under the attack of the Blood Guard.
This is not to say that the human elites are greedy for life and fear of death, but that the gap between them and the blood guards of the orcs is too great. As long as the fighters on both sides entangled a little, the double-edged battle axe of the orcs will be hacked without mercy. Even the elite warriors of human beings could not stop the attack of the orcs even if they raised the shields in their hands, or they were directly split into two pieces with their shields, or they were smashed into flight by the orcs.
Therefore, the steadily retreating of elite human warriors is based on the premise of their massive casualties. People are killed in battle, how can the position be guarded? And the so-called elite, there are also different levels. Human elite troops in the imperial capital can only be regarded as the third level elite in the strict sense.
According to the deployment of the year and the development over the years, the first-level elite force of the human empire is the Royal Knights under Orlando. It is an absolute elite. If Orlando did not disperse the holy knights, then With the strength of these five thousand people alone, Orlando is able to contend with ten times as many orc blood guards.
Of course, Orlando has no way to distribute its subordinates, because new recruits recruited by mankind will not be able to have any combat effectiveness in just a few days. If there is no backbone to fill them, I am afraid they will be defeated before the battlefield. Go down. And even if Orlando brought together these 5,000 elites, if there were no hundreds of thousands of support, then they would still suffer heavy losses under the siege of beasts.
Holy knights are good, but they are not gods. They will still be tired, bleed, get hurt, and die.
Excluding these holy knights, the second-level elite warriors of the human empire are the legions in the Thor Fortress, but most of them have been buried forever in the northern fortress, only Jonah General Si brought back some of them, but the number was not very large.
The elites stationed in the imperial capital are considered to be the third level, but under the premise that the holy knights are dispersed and the Thor Fortress is almost annihilated, they have become the most elite troops and become Lu The final trump card in the hands of K and Orlando.
If the orcs are to classify the elite troops, then the blood guards of the Beast Emperor are the elites of the elite, and their status is equivalent to the human royal knights in a sense, and because the orcs are in The combat power of an individual is several times that of a human soldier, so it is normal for humans to pay such a price if calculated according to this simple method.
After all, the Blood Guards are the direct descendants of the Barbarian Bear clan. They have experienced enough training and practical practice, especially in the blood arena for ten endless battles. Those beasts who survive to the end are eligible to join this The selection conditions for a team are cruel, and the fighters who can be selected strictly according to the conditions are the best.
On the human side, most of the 100,000 elites left by Orlando and Luke have now been lost. In order to fill the gap left by their deaths, a large number of temporary recruits were transferred and joined the battle. These recruits joined the battle under the leadership of the Holy Knight Captain. It is not easy for them to fight to the death. If their homeland is not under their feet, I am afraid that under the offensive of the orcs, even Orlando will not be able to lead the team. Avoid their rout.
Of course, not being defeated does not mean that they can play a big role. Originally, these recruits are far inferior to the orcs in their individual combat effectiveness, and now they cannot have any cooperation. Basically, once they face the pressure of the orcs, everyone They are fighting each other. The sole purpose of these recruits being sent to the battlefield is to consume the power of the orcs. In fact, they have also achieved this, although the ratio is approaching fifty to one.
Lane saw that the human front was shrinking. He took a big step and wanted to continue to join the battle group. Unexpectedly, a person next to him suddenly took Ryan's arm and stopped his behavior. Ryan turned his head and looked over, it turned out to be Luke. Luke shook his head slightly at Ryan, and then whispered: "Enough, your task now is to protect Queen Catherine."
"But," Ryan defended his behavior: "With the power of Her Majesty, she doesn't need our protection at all."
Luke shook his head with a wry smile, and once again lowered his voice and said, "Enough, Ryan. Before you, regardless of my opposition, you forcibly joined the team. Although you have achieved a good record, Allendo was seriously injured. . You go to fulfill your wish, I have nothing to say, after all, you are also an adult man, you know what you should do and what should not be done. But..."
At this point, Luke suddenly looked at Faras next to Ryan, and then said to Ryan in a heavy tone: "I have no son, only two daughters. Orlando is unable to leave the imperial capital because of his responsibilities. You are different. Your current status is just the head of a certain mercenary group."
Luke patted Ryan on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "I hope my daughter can live well, but with Sophie’s relationship with Orlando, I’m afraid my wish will not come true, but Farasi still has a chance, can't you even realize my little wish?"
Ryan hesitated and said: "This, this... I can't just sit idly by?"
Luke said: "You did your best before, right? Now even if you go again, can you change the ending? No! You can't do this, so please do what you can Things, continue to complete the task I gave you. Even if we lose this war, it does not mean that humans will lose everything. We can still make a comeback. In many cases, it is more difficult to live than to die generously."
Looking at Ryan’s full face of doubt, Luke continued: “As long as the queen is still there, then the empire will still have a chance. There are many cities to the south, and there will always be opportunities to regain lost ground. Both me and Orlando It’s impossible to leave this city, that’s our responsibility, but who will protect Her Majesty? This person must be trusted by us, and can’t let Senat do this? Okay, don’t talk about it, just take it. It's the last wish of an old man." Luke's last sentence was very plain, but there was deep regret in his words.
Lane's mind is in confusion, he weighs and weighs, but he doesn't know what he should do? In fact, Ryan has done a lot, completely surpassing what he should do. If calculated according to military merits, I am afraid that few people can surpass Ryan in the defense of the imperial capital, but Ryan always feels regretful, because he found that his strength looks good, but in this kind of war of hundreds of thousands of people China doesn’t help at all.
Ryan stood there silently, facing a dilemma, he fell into hesitation. Unconsciously, Ryan lost his mind. He thought of his parents, teachers, and Faras. Thinking of this, Ryan subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Farasi, and suddenly thought of Victor from Farasi, and remembered the magic scroll that Luke had handed to him before.
Ryan found the scroll in his storage pocket. If it is normal, then Ryan will study the magic circle of this scroll, but now Ryan doesn’t have time. He is aiming at a place less than 30 meters away from him under the viewing platform. Orc, tore the scroll forcefully, a faint white light was emitted from the scroll, and disappeared without a trace after a few seconds.
However, this scroll flashed a white light, and there was no other reaction. The orcs not far away were still slashing and killing the human defenders frantically. This made Ryan very, very disappointed. Could it be that this scroll was just a failure? s work?
