lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Magician Ryan!
Since Cassano’s army launched an attack on Mochizuki City in the early morning, the war has started for six full hours. . At the beginning, Mochizuki Castle was completely defeated due to the unprepared attack of com. Cassano’s popular shooters and even a few people could chase the guards of Mochizuki Castle and hundreds of people running around. Most of the blocks in the southern part of Mochizuki City were completely trapped. In a sea of flames.
However, when Sword Saint Oswald dragged Ryan’s main force on the Moon’s Whispering Long Street for 2 hours with his own life, Mochizuki City seemed to finally have time to breathe, and soon the city’s The soldiers were organized, and many young men who had fled for their lives were temporarily conscripted into the army and issued spears and other weapons. Under the command of the officers sent by Julius and Vlad, they began to resist on the spot.
Although this kind of temporarily organized resistance is not enough to stop the pace of Cassano’s army, Ryan and the others have gradually slowed down their attack speed. After all, the constant fighting will still consume the strength of the Cassano fighters. And the mana of the magic apprentice.
In addition, because the streets of Mochizuki City were artificially filled with various obstacles to block the speed of Cassano’s army, the popular shooters can no longer gallop on the streets like before. Fortunately, Ryan thought of this in advance. One point, while Adela and Osweder were fighting, the order was given through Adela’s adjutant to gather the army, so in the afternoon, Cassano’s three troops once again gathered together for one The species moved forward slowly at a slow speed. Their goal was Moon Creek Square, a few streets away, and at the other end of the square was the headquarters of the Mochizuki City Magic Guild.
For Ryan and their marching route, Mochizuki City is also well aware of it. After all, this is their territory. Since the day it was established, Mochizuki City has activated the surveillance magic array all over the city. , This kind of magic circle uses magic such as "magic eyes", "farsightedness", "sorcerer's eyes" and so on, can put the whole city under the surveillance of Mochizuki City Magic Guild, and spend 60 million gold coins every year in exchange for it. Thousands of years of calm and quiet in Mochizuki City have resulted in the fact that the road here is not closed at night, and it has also achieved the reputation of "Magic City".
"Boom!" A series of fireballs exploded, and a large number of temporary obstacles in front of Cassano's army were directly burned by the flames. Those Mochizuki soldiers who originally planned to rely on these obstacles to resist, or say The soldiers were temporarily recruited. They did not expect the war to be carried out in such a one-sided manner. They thought that the battle should be like those bards described. The two sides relied on temporary fortifications to fight repeatedly and defend the homeland under their feet with their own blood. . It's a pity that these naive and passionate citizens finally collapsed. Except for a small number of people who were shot and killed by Cassano's popular shooters, the vast majority of them all dropped their weapons and fled.
"Mr. Lane, the more we kill now, the more difficult it will be to rule here in the future. This kind of hatred is difficult to dissolve in a short time." Letotz, who was born as a hunter, looked at a battlefield full of messy corpses. , Said worriedly beside Ryan.
Ryan waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "As long as we don't enjoy killing, it doesn't matter. War always kills people. If we can choose, it is better to kill our enemy."
"But..." Letotz was anxious, and now the vast majority of the Silent Forest Hunter Tribe Alliance has been merged into Cassano. It can be said that except that the time of living in that land is not as long as the aborigines. , Almost all of them have turned into out-and-out Cassano people, and naturally they have to think from Cassano's perspective when encountering things.
Ryan listened to Letoz, and knew in his heart that they had regarded himself as a Cassano, and he naturally also occasionally revealed some ideas to them to show his trust in Letoz and the power behind him. , Because Ryan called Letoz a little: "Do you think the capital can rest assured that this magical capital will be managed by Cassano?"
"Uh..." Ryan's casual words suddenly made Letots shut his mouth. In fact, if it hadn’t been for Ryan’s existence, even if Cassano’s population and territory had expanded tenfold, it would have been impossible for Cassano to be on the same level as the imperial capital. But now, this area with less population than the imperial capital has more than a large manor, and it has become an ally of the imperial capital. Although there are factors of the imperial capital's diplomatic strategy, the real dominant factor is still Cassano's territory, Lane.
The imperial capital Fernando City has one-third of the population of the entire continent, and its military and magical powers are exceptionally strong. It can be said that it has an overwhelming advantage in this land. It was only for some reason that all other strengths against the imperial capital were secretly united, and the imperial capital also had various problems due to its own reasons, which turned into the confrontation between the north and the south not long ago.
Now that Cassano's army has invaded Mochizuki City, it can be said that this situation of confrontation between North and South has been broken. When the superiority of the war gradually moved closer to the imperial capital, it was only a matter of time before the alliance of the imperial capital and Cassano achieved a final victory. Once the opposition forces in the south were overthrown, Cassano's course of action was naturally placed in front of everyone. Although it is out of Cassano’s own interests, Lettos and the others certainly hope that Cassano can occupy more land and population, but no matter how open-minded the imperial capital is, it is impossible to sit back and watch another threat to their rule in the south. The power appears, otherwise, even if Ryan and Falasi are there, everyone can be safe, what about a hundred years from now? Wouldn't it be another repetition of today's North-South confrontation?
"Understood?" Ryan smiled indifferently, and said casually: "Our purpose this time is nothing more than three points, first, to build merits; second, to demonstrate force; third, to train soldiers in actual combat."
"Well, my subordinates understand, thank you for Mr. Lane's trust!" Why did Letoz still not understand Lane's intentions, he saluted Lane with a grateful face, lowered his voice and said, "Our hunter tribe We used to wander around and endured all the hardships. Now Mr. Lane has taken us in, and we have long regarded Cassano as our home."
Ryan nodded solemnly, patted Letoz lightly on the shoulder, while the latter lowered his head and slowly stepped back. After leaving Ryan a few meters away, Letoz turned around and strode forward. Ryan had just said very clearly, he naturally had to perform well in this Mochizuki City battle.
Ryan looked at Letots’s back and smiled in his heart. He attacked Mochizuki this time. Although the elf queen Fria and the dwarf king Renos also followed with a lot of entourage, Ryan asked them to protect The logistics unit holding Cassano stood by outside the city and did not let them join the battle. On the one hand, Ryan did this because of the emotional issues of the elves. After all, this city was built by their ancestors who helped humans build it. If they were to participate in the attack, it would be a little unreasonable. There is another point, and that is a little bit of selfishness of Ryan. He hopes that the three elite troops he built can become famous through this battle and show Cassano's powerful force.
When it comes to the imperial capital, people will think of the Royal Knights with invincible record. When they talk about the prairie, people will naturally think of the light cavalry of the Clay clan. When they talk about Mochizuki City, the reputation of the city of magic is everyone. Will agree. In Ryan’s heart, he hopes that when someone mentions Cassano, he will also think of the three elite troops of Cassano at the same time. As long as they have such a reputation, the people of Cassano can be better. Survival on this continent, because anyone who has ambitions there will weigh in advance whether he can deal with Cassano's Guards, Windrunners, and Magic Legions, and whether he can withstand the wrath of the legendary Mage Ryan.
Now the whole situation is proceeding step by step as Ryan envisioned. Mochizuki City finally started a limited counterattack. In the eyes of Ryan, who has experience in the defense of the imperial capital, everything in front of him means that Mochizuki City is already in front of him. Somewhere along the route was heavily armed, ready to fight to the death with oneself, and from here to the Mochizuki City Magic Guild, the only area where a large army could be placed was Moon Creek Square.
Because of the many restrictions on magic within Mochizuki City, even as a legendary mage, Ryan cannot overlook the entire city with magic. He can only monitor a limited area around him with his own power. Of course, this area is enough for the enemy. An early warning was given before the sneak attack.
Of course, Ryan can not directly attack the entire Mochizuki City with the Forbidden Curse, but that is meaningless for the future rule of the empire, and it will make the demigod lich in the alien world take advantage of it. Moreover, once Mochizuki City is destroyed, high-ranking mages such as Blair and Catherine will have no worries. Then important areas such as Cassano and the Imperial Capital will inevitably fall into the danger of being attacked by the Forbidden Curse. Ryan and the others can prevent it for one day or one month. , One year, but there is no way to guard these areas for a lifetime, as long as ten minutes of negligence, the forbidden curse will fall on the earth.
So in Ryan’s view, the curse is only a deterrent method. His mana must be used against Catherine and others. Only by defeating these opponents and convinced them, the Imperial Capital and Cassano will not have any worries. Although Blair and the others are defeated, they are in the interest of consideration. Unless they are frantically desperate to drag the entire Mochizuki city to die together, they will inevitably choose to succumb and return to the Imperial City camp, so that Ryan and the others can gather the Mochizuki magic. The power of the guild to strengthen itself to face the undead army that does not know when will come to this continent.
"Mr. Lane, the front scout found the trail of the Mochizuki City Army Corps! It's just 1 kilometer in front of the Moon Creek Plaza!" The scout's voice came, making Ryan's heart refreshed. If war is just an appetizer, then the main course will be on the stage right now. Ryan waved his hand and said loudly: "Cassano, go forward, conquer everything we see!" c
