lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Magician Ryan!

Three days have passed. Orlando led his men to break through the three lines of defense of the Clay clan. However, due to the interception of the Clay cavalry on him, it also slowed the return of Orlando and others. At this moment, Orlando is at a distance from the capital. Still have to go on day and night without rest.

At the beginning, the Clay clan mobilized a tens of thousands of people to attack Orlando and others, but they soon discovered that in front of the charge of the holy knights, those Clay cavalry were basically useless, and the arrows they shot could not hurt. To the holy knights, and the strange acceleration when the holy knights assault has become a nightmare for these warriors who have lived on horseback since they were young.

Later, these Clay cavalry soldiers finally changed their methods. Under the command of the leader, Kailimu, they broke the 10,000-person team into parts and divided them into groups of hundreds, and then harassed them in the distance day and night. The Holy Knight relied on his mobility to interfere with the rest of the Holy Knight with a bow and arrows at a distance. Once the Holy Knight attacked, he immediately fled in all directions.

In this way, because the number of targets is too small, the use of "same hatred and hatred" is not worth the loss, but if it is not charged at full speed, the holy knight and the Clay cavalry are both cavalry. The former wears more armor than the latter. The speed is slower than the latter, but it can't catch up with the opponent and can only be passively beaten.

Kerim’s method did achieve the effect. In the three consecutive days of marching and fighting, Orlando’s men did not suffer much damage, but due to the repeated use of "the same enemy 忾" to charge, each The body of the holy knights is quite tired. Many people ride on the horses, and their bodies are trembling constantly, but all the holy knights are full of energy and morale, ready to fight at any time.

This situation improved in the evening one day ago. Before dark, the 1,000 holy knights led by Captain Bacon finally broke through the Clay blockade and merged with Orlando. The 1,000 people led by Bacon departed one day later than Orlando and the others, but like Orlando, they also encountered the sniper of the Clay clan on the way.

Captain Bacon adopted a relatively stupid method, that is, completely ignored the Cavalry of the Clay clan, and went straight to the south of the Nantarun grassland, that is, back to the direction of the imperial capital. Pursuing them behind them, Bacon and the others relied on their good protective power to resist the feather arrows shot by the Clay fighters. There were no casualties, but they were indeed embarrassed.

But this stupid method is very useful for the sniping and harassment of the Clay clan. Bacon led his subordinates for three consecutive days, breaking through, marching, breaking through, and marching, finally breaking through the opponent's layers. The defense line caught up with Orlando and his party.

With these 1,000 people from Bacon, Orlando has become much more relaxed in platooning. He divided the 1,500 people into three teams. One team drove the Clay harassment cavalry on the periphery, and the other team was based in Orlando. The leader is ready to join the battlefield at any time and use a powerful charge to defeat everything in front of him, while the remaining team rests in place.

In this way, apart from Orlando himself, the other holy knights can't recover much of their physical strength. Using this method, under the leadership of Orlando, the holy knights slowly retreated toward the imperial capital. And the hardest part of this kind of tactic is Orlando. Every time he charges with his subordinates, he will consume a lot of energy. When his subordinates are resting, Orlando still has to concentrate and lead another team to watch silently. Around, looking for an assault opportunity, as long as the Clay fighters are slightly careless, Orlando will decisively launch a charge, even if the opponent has only a few hundred people, Orlando will directly bring 500 subordinates to crush the opponent.

Orlando, who fought with the Holy Knights, was exhausted and weak, but on the surface, he still looked as usual. Others could not see the emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy on his face. This strengthened the confidence of other holy knights. . Mobile access:

Orlando’s heart has been thinking about the Clay’s intention to snipe himself. He doesn’t understand the meaning of this, but the Clay’s cavalry did hold back Orlando’s return to the imperial capital, because Orlando can’t belong to him. Regardless of the lives under, forcibly rushing to the imperial capital. He can only use the method of rotation now, slowly walking back.

Two full days later, Orlando led 1,500 of his men into the Fernando City area. Fernando City claims to have a population of tens of millions. In fact, there are not so many cities in it. When the city was built 200 years ago under the charge of the leader Jiexi, those who lived in the north of the mainland suffered from the kingdom war and the invasion of the undead. People who are waiting for suffering have regarded this place as their home, and they have lived for generations.

The population in the Imperial City is actually less than 1 million, but most of them are aristocrats, and most of the civilians live in manors, farms, and pastures outside the city. Originally, these civilians owned their own land or pasture. However, after 200 years, the land annexation outside the capital city was very fierce. Farmers who used to own their own land have almost become vassals of those nobles, working hard every day in exchange for food.

It is precisely because of this that the area to which the imperial capital belongs can accommodate a large population, because most of the people in it live without food and clothing, and of course there is little demand for subsistence. few. However, due to the slow development and the slow reclamation of many civilians, there are a large number of manors, farms and pastures within a thousand miles of the imperial capital. Every day, more than 100,000 people transport food and water to the residents living in the imperial capital. And other supplies.

Although they entered the area of ​​the imperial capital, even without the sniper of the Clay clan, Orlando and the others would have to gallop for a whole day to see the walls of the imperial capital. Of course, the roads on both sides are no longer as endless as the South Talun Prairie, usually. It is a farm, a manor, and the population is much thicker than that on the prairie.

"Orlando captain, we are finally back!" Bacon said in a slightly excited tone. The experience of the past few days has made the captain hold his breath quite a bit. Even if he was besieged by Senat's heavy soldiers, he would not be passively beaten like this time.

Orlando is far south, and he whispered: "Yes, I'm back. But the Clay people desperately intercepted us all the way, why on earth?"

Bacon didn't hear what Orlando said, he asked: "Head, what did you say?"

Orlando did not answer, because a large group of cavalry came galloping in the distance, and the soldiers riding on horses were armed with machetes. At first sight, they were the Cavalry of the Clay clan.

Orlando nodded and said, "Everyone prepares, this should be the last battle."

A familiar voice came from a distance: "Haha, the Orlando general came to our hometown, why didn't he stay for a few more days and left in such a hurry?"

Bacon immediately remembered the owner of this voice. It was Kairim, the captain of the Clay clan who participated in the Golden Tournament last year. He yelled: "Kerim, it's you!"

Kailim laughed and said, "Yes, it's me naturally."

Bacon angrily rebuked Kerim and said: "Why do you Clay betray the empire?"

"We Clay people have our own ancestors and glory. Everything now is imposed by others, how can we talk about betrayal?"

Bacon still wanted to reprimand him, but a few words from Orlando dispelled his thoughts: "Since ancient times, careerists have always been everywhere, and excuses are always high-sounding, but they and everything they do Finally disappeared in the long river of history."

Although the voice was very small, Kailimu heard it too. He laughed and said: "History is always written by the victor!"

Orlando shook his head and said: "As long as I am here, victory will always belong to the empire."

Kelim was taken aback, and then shouted: "I don't believe it." After saying this, Kerim turned his head and shouted: "Come on, don't stay in the slightest, let's drag them down!"

When the Klei cavalry led by Kailim heard the order, they rode forward. When they were about 300 meters away from Orlando, they drew their feather arrows and shot them on the bowstring. All this All were done in the running of the horse under the seat, and after shooting this arrow, the Clay fighters pulled the reins and manipulated the horse to run around Orlando and them.

Kailim brought only 3,000 Clay cavalry this time, but these are the most elite archers of the Clay clan. Their riding and shooting skills are almost the best in the clan. These 3,000 people surround About 300 meters outside Orlando, a sparse circle was formed, running continuously, and then shooting feather arrows in the process of running.

In this way, no matter which direction Orlando leads his men to charge, they can only attack less than one-tenth of the enemy at the same time, and the exhaustion after the charge will greatly reduce their speed. Eventually became a target.

Orlando made a decisive decision and immediately issued the order to retreat at full speed. Captain Bacon personally led the charge and Orlando was at the end. The 1,500 holy knights easily broke through the encirclement of the Clay archers and evacuated quickly towards the imperial capital. Kailim didn’t force it. He took his 3,000 men and hung them far away. Behind Orlando, he kept shooting with bows and arrows, as if driving away a holy knight.

After several hours of continuous pursuit, Kerim issued an order to stop the pursuit. Lugerman, who had participated in the competitive competition with him, said fiercely behind Kerim: "Finally, we finally figured out that we The evil spirits of escaping in embarrassment." And there was an intriguing smile on Kailimu's face.
