lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Magician Ryan!
Ryan looked sadly at the guard beside him slowly shoveling the soil with a spade, slowly covering the stone pot in the tomb, he gently threw a tattered battle axe down, leaving the soil alone. Slowly bury everything. This is the funeral of Ryan's good friend Oz, and it is also the first time Ryan has seen his relatives and friends off in his life. The sadness in his heart is naturally hard to conceal.
When the guards around him filled the entire tomb, Ryan held up his grief and raised his head, staring at the thousands of tombs, with an unspeakable feeling in his heart. The defensive battle of the Iron Fist Castle just ended yesterday. Less than one-third of the dead were able to be identified. However, this has resulted in nearly 4000 tombs, which also means that this time Cassano was in this war. What a painful price has been paid.
Although the Cassano defenders have defeated at least a million undead in six days of **** battle, the most elite guards and wind shooters have lost more than 30% of the battle. This is definitely a shock. The ordinary soldiers without the protection of Mithril armor and the Cassanos who joined the war to protect their homeland lost even more. It can be said that although the Cassanos won this battle, it was a tragic victory. .
Ryan stood on the hillside, looking down at the dense tombs all over the hillside. He bent down and bowed a deep salute. Although his strength had reached the realm of legend, Ryan didn’t think in front of life. He is more noble than others. As the overlord of Cassano, he did not protect his people in the first time, and made so many people pay the price of their lives, which made Ryan's heart a little bit painful.
Vivienne, Adela, Elendo and others also bowed deeply to Ryan, in order to thank these war dead for their efforts and price to protect Cassano and protect their homes. Suddenly, the entire cemetery in the southern suburbs of Iron Fist Castle was silent, and only a slight wind passed through the air, like the gratifying laughter of the people who had passed away.
Ryan slowly straightened his waist after ten minutes of silence. He turned around and said to Vivian and Adela in front of him: "Put this place full of flowers, so that the heroes will not be lonely in the future."
"Heroes?" Vivienne and Adela just froze, and immediately understood what Ryan meant. They said in unison: "Yes, they are heroes, they are our Cassano heroes."
Ryan nodded and continued to order: "The aftermath should be handled quickly. They are gone, but their family members are still there. They must be properly arranged. Well, if the coming-of-age ceremony of the Cassano people is nothing in the future Special circumstances, let’s all be held here, so that generations of people will remember that their happy life today is the price of their lives paid by these heroes."
"Well, I can't think of too much for a while. I have something I didn't expect, you can figure it out." Ryan waved his hand lonely, turned and left slowly, he walked along the hillside The path slowly descended, and before passing the tomb of Oz, he stopped again, and when Elendo came to him behind him, Ryan sighed heavily.
Ellendor patted Ryan’s shoulder for comfort, then took a bunch of flowers, leaned over and placed it on Oz’s grave. After all this was done, Ellendor stood upright. After getting the body, he said to Ryan: "Let's go, they don't have a complete business, and we still need to continue working hard."
"You're right, we don't have time to cry now, because the undead army is still raging on the mainland." Ryan finished this sentence softly, and left without looking back.
Soon, Ryan and his party returned to the waiting carriage at the foot of the mountain. Ryan sat in the carriage of the carriage. There was already a man with the appearance of an adjutant waiting. Ryan poured himself a glass of water and drank it. , And then asked: "How about it, and Androkos and Melinda have not been able to regain the teleportation magic circle with the Imperial Capital?"
"Yes, Lord Lord!" The adjutant replied, "According to the news that came 30 minutes ago, the Magister Androcos has thoroughly checked the entire teleportation magic circle and confirmed that there is nothing wrong with it. But the connection has never been restored, so the Androcos Magister believes that this should be the same as Cassano’s experience some time ago."
Ryan knew that this teleportation magic circle had failed a few days ago. The reason should be that the undead army that attacked Iron Fist Castle used some secret method to interfere with its operation, but now the undead army has almost been wiped out. But this teleportation magic circle still can't achieve its own effect. Could the imperial capital also suffer the same experience as Cassano, or is it simply that the main force of the real undead army has launched a full-scale attack on the imperial capital?
These questions made Ryan feel a headache. He felt that he should believe in the strength of the Imperial Capital. With the Royal Knights, the Imperial Magic Guild, and the Church of Light, how could the Undead Army break through the walls of the Imperial Capital? Thinking of yesterday that the Iron Fist Castle, which he thought was impenetrable, almost fell, Ryan's heart could not be described as anxious.
"How much is the combat power of our army now?" Ryan asked this question. Although he was already mentally prepared and knew that he would not get an exciting news, the data reported by the deputy still frustrated him. .
"There are currently less than 2,000 guards who can continue to fight, and most of them are in a weak state, unable to exert combat effectiveness at all. If there are more than ten days of rest, then the current more than 1,000 wounded can be recovered. Go back to the army. There are still 3,000 popular shooters who can continue to fight, but unfortunately, they continue to have no wounded, and they must also be given a short rest time..."
The adjutant’s words were not finally finished, because Ryan waved his hand to interrupt his report. The three elite troops of Cassano are now able to continue to fight for less than 5,000 people, and all of them are exhausted and their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. As for the others At most, there are more than 10,000 troops in the army. If this kind of force is really obtained in the imperial capital, it will be exhausted in about an hour.
"If the order is passed down, the armies should hurry to rest. If there is no accident, there will be no military action within ten days. In addition, the training of the reserve army should be accelerated to fill the army's vacancies as soon as possible. The three elite troops have priority. Right.” Ryan said this, thinking for a while and adding: “Whether humans, orcs, dwarves or elves, as long as they voluntarily join Cassano and are willing to obey the laws here, they must be treated equally without discrimination. Also, When organizing the people to return to Cassano, an announcement was made that I will conduct another selection of magic apprentices in ten days. This time, Barbara’s magic army will be officially expanded, and it must reach the Guards. , 5000 people like Fengxing Sagittarius."
"Yes, Lord Lord!" After Ryan signed the order, the adjutant saluted him and left the carriage quickly. Ryan was the only one left in the carriage. He tapped a few lightly on the wall, and the carriage slowly began to move. Ryan leaned his upper body on the carriage and couldn't help sighing again.
After a lot of experience, Ryan is no longer the political rookie before, especially this trip to Dragon Island. Although Ryan’s power has not been advanced, it has given Ryan a grasp of power. Having become more proficient, and not knowing if it was corroded by the dark atmosphere, Ryan suddenly found that he was not very resistant to those intrigues, but began to try to apply some of the learned skills to practice.
For example, when I returned to Cassano this time, although Cassano’s subordinates did not say anything, Ryan clearly grasped the inner thoughts of the officials who have grown up here for generations. Ryan believes that if he puts forward desperately To lead Cassano's remaining power to assist the imperial capital, there will be various complaints below, and it will definitely affect the morale of the entire Cassano. Of course, it’s not that these people don’t care about the overall situation. This is only related to the selfish nature of human beings. After all, Cassano’s losses are huge now, and no matter what it takes to support the imperial capital, this will inevitably not be considered a very good economy and population in Cassano itself. On the basis of a heavy stab, I am afraid that after hundreds of years of vitality injury, I will never want to turn over.
"The top priority is to get in touch with the imperial capital. Now that the intelligence is unknown, our army can't act rashly." Ryan closed his eyes and thought silently. If it was before, Ryan would definitely not give clear instructions so quickly, he would probably hesitate, or go to the imperial capital desperately, even if nothing happened, in order to seek peace of mind. But now, Ryan has issued an order to rest and rehabilitate at the first time. This is not so much to let the soldiers who survived the hard fight have a good rest, but to calm the hearts of the entire Cassano.
"What is the idea of the Legion of Undead? Judging from the current situation, it must be a partial division who attacked Cassano, otherwise Cassano will not be able to hold on for that long. Could it be that they really hold us back? The pace of attacking the imperial capital? That is really stupid. Victor’s forbidden curse is enough to reach tens of millions of undead, and the arrival of the angels in Orlando is the biggest killer of the undead. No commander with normal thinking will live without With absolute certainty, launch a war without superiority."
Ryan's heart rejected his own ideas one by one: "It's not the imperial capital. I dare say that if the imperial capital is attacked, it will definitely be a containment attack. Mochizuki City in the south? Fuliya has returned to the Magic Moon City, and can be directly connected from there. The connection with Mochizuki City can give me an answer in the afternoon, right? As for the free paradise? There is no value there. Can't it be said that these undead have changed their careers to businessmen?"
Thinking about it made Ryan start to feel tired. After all, he didn't really get a rest since he attacked Seck City. Especially when fighting against the dark breath in his body, he couldn't be negligent, otherwise Ryan He had fallen into a dark warrior for a long time, and it was the first time to take the flying dragon back to Cassano after he recovered. After the war ended yesterday, Ryan, Allendo and others searched the entire Cassano area overnight. There may be places to hide the undead to prevent any counterattacks.
With the rhythmic movement of the carriage, Ryan gradually fell asleep.
