Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Thor Fortress, military command post.

Orlando and others are seriously discussing the war. In the past period of time, the human defenders have achieved quite good results. The offensive orcs have lost almost 300,000 soldiers, and their offensives have become weaker day by day. The morale of the human defenders became stronger and stronger, and the war was developing in a direction that was beneficial to mankind.

"General Orlando, this is the state of the battle today." General Clark stood on the military map hung on the wall and said loudly, "In addition, according to our observations in recent days, the orcs seem to have a lot of loss of troops, and they only seem to come out every day. The 100,000 people in the formation still maintain the organization."

Orlando nodded, and Keenster interjected: "According to our previous analysis, this year the orcs have aggressively attacked. It is likely that their ruler has come to weaken the strength of other lords. The 100,000 elite fighters are mostly orcs ruled. The direct subordinates of the people. Now the purpose of the orcs is about to be achieved. They are no more than 500,000, and now there may be less than 200,000 people left. If the manpower continues to wear down, maybe even grazing and hunting are not enough. I suggest strengthening the treatment of the beast If the orcs retreat under the surveillance of the People’s Big Battalion, they will immediately dispatch cavalry to follow and pursue them, maybe they will be able to establish peace in the northern defense line of the Empire in one fell swoop."

Orlando still nodded and did not speak, but in his heart, he did not agree with Keenster's optimistic mood, but everything was beneficial to the human defenders. In the last two days, the orcs even had stone dumpers and siege vehicles. They were all gone, and they rushed up directly carrying the wooden ladder. Orlando could only put his doubts in his heart.

Orlando said: "Recently, the situation has gradually benefited us, but you must not take it lightly. After all, the orcs have not retired. Especially at night, you must be careful."

"Please rest assured." Keenster said loudly: "My adjutant Hans is fully responsible for this matter. He has my most elite troops and the assistance of thousands of mercenaries from the south, absolutely foolproof!"

Orlando saw that Keenster was overly optimistic, and tried to persuade him a few words, but before he could speak, he heard a voice coming from outside the door: "Report! The Imperial Courier is urgent!"

Everyone in the military command post was taken aback, not knowing what happened, Orlando raised his brows and said loudly, "Let him in!"

The door was pushed open, and the three holy knights walked in in stride. The leader who saw Orlando at a glance, raised his right fist and beat his chest lightly, made a knightly salute, and said: "Orlando Captain, The imperial capital is urgent, please read it separately!"

Orlando remembers that this knight’s name is Arnold. He only became a holy knight three years ago. He should be a small captain now. Now he actually delivered the letter in person. Orlando saw the look on the knight’s face and suddenly felt an unknown in his heart. With a hunch, he waved his hand and said, "You go out first!"

Keenster and others walked out with curiosity, and even the two men who followed the lead knight backed out.When there was only one knight in the command post, Orlando asked, "Arnold, what's the matter?"

Arnold did not answer Orlando’s words. He just took out a sealed letter from close to his body and handed it to Orlando. Orlando took out the letter paper in a few clicks, opened it, and saw that it read: "Year 202 of the Guangxi Calendar. On the evening of August 4, Chad rebelled and His Majesty Fernando XIII was martyred."

Orlando looked at the letter paper in his hand incredibly, only to feel the weight of it. His eyes were straight and his lips were dry, and he said in a dry voice: "Your Majesty, is your Majesty martyred?"

Arnold whispered: "Yes, head."

Orlando only felt a sudden heat in his chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, staining the letter paper in his hand red, and the letter paper slowly fell to the ground.

"Ah, captain, you..." Arnold was startled, he hurriedly stepped forward to hold Orlando, who pushed him away hard and sat straight on the chair."I'm fine, Arnold." Orlando said lightly: "What the hell is going on, you tell me the whole process in detail!"

Arnold heard pain and sorrow from Orlando's plain tone. He knew that Orlando was in a very bad mood at the moment, so he lowered his voice and recounted what happened that night.Although in many cases it is impossible to know the details as Arnold, he also led his subordinates to fight on the front line of counterinsurgency, so Catherine selected him to deliver the letter.

Orlando silently listened to Arnold's account of what happened that night, and suddenly asked: "What is the motive? If Chad really wants to rebel, I leave the capital and Luke is dismissed. It is a good opportunity, but what can he have? Good? He is already under one person and above ten thousand people. Does he want to be his majesty, he can stop my Royal Knights?"

"This..." Arnold hesitated for a moment. He said cautiously: "This is not clear, but Queen Catherine and Lord Luke said that, and, at the time, many people saw it in the Royal Banquet Hall. Your Majesty died in Chad's arms. Later, De Silva the Great Magister brought someone here. He was responsible for guarding the palace that night. Without knowing what he said to Chad, Chad began to mobilize the army."

Orlando let out a long sigh. He knew from this alone that there might be some inside story, but unfortunately he was no longer the imperial capital that night, otherwise he would be responsible for the safety of the palace. In that case, who could hurt His Majesty.As for Luke, Orlando doesn't need to think about it. Anyway, if Chad is eliminated, Luke will naturally be in the upper position and hold the power. In any case, Luke will not refuse, and it is impossible to carefully investigate the truth that night.

"Is it Luke?" Orlando's heart moved, because all the benefits of the whole thing belong to Luke. This suspicion is really too big, but after another thought, he gave up the idea because he knew Luke. At the same time, Luke is well aware of the power of the Royal Knights he governs. Even if Luke has 200,000 elite fighters in his hands, he can’t resist the charge of 10,000 Royal Knights’ holy knights on the plains. Orlando doesn’t. I think Luke will take a huge risk to do this, not to mention that Luke has been removed from his post. He really wants to mobilize the army, how can he hide it from others?

"Luke, don't be you, otherwise, I'll have to be sorry for Sophia!" Orlando shook his head slightly. He can't figure out what happened now, and the king he has been loyal to is like this. Unexplained death, once the news spreads, the empire will definitely be in chaos. Orlando's top priority now is to return to the imperial capital immediately. Only the powerful royal knights stationed in the imperial capital can truly deter the Quartet and allow the empire to smoothly tide over the immediate difficulties.

Orlando closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. After a while, he opened his eyes and said to Arnold: "This matter must be absolutely confidential, and there must be no leakage."

"Yes, Master Leader." Arnold whispered, "However, this incident happened 5 days ago. No matter how we keep the secret, as long as it exceeds 10 days, it will always be reported here. Adults, please respond early."

Orlando nodded and said, "I see, you guys go down and rest first, and I will send someone to protect you." Arnold did not speak. Orlando did this as he expected. Although he did not know the content of the letter, it happened Who was there at that time didn’t know?Arnold knew the importance of this news. Even if it was Thor Fortress, he only vaguely said about the urgent letter, and never said anything about it.

After Arnold was sent away, Orlando made up his mind in a moment. He must rush back to the imperial capital. The succession to the throne and the stability of the empire require his personal presence in order to avoid problems. It is just the martyrdom of your majesty. It's too important to make it public yet, what he needs most now is time.

Orlando immediately recruited Keynst. After he left, it was naturally the biggest here, so he could only tell him anything in private.

"General Keynst, things are like this. Now that time is tight, I will not say anything more. I will return to the imperial capital with all the knights. This force is very important to the stability of the empire. After I leave, you must try to blockade The news must not cause turmoil in the entire army, and be vigilant against the orcs and must not be taken lightly."

"There is another very important thing, and that is Chad’s son Bailey. You will arrest him right now. You will be silent for the time being. First, you will be held in secret. Among the 200 magicians, several of them are also related to Chad. You can't let it go. You can ask Ryan for help in this matter. Ryan and Faras's relationship is extraordinary, and naturally it is impossible to leak. Moreover, Ryan easily defeated Bailey in the Royal Tournament last year, and his strength can definitely subdue him. The Androcos Magister was not inclined to either Luke or Chad before. He had consulted Victor for magic and should be trustworthy."

After giving Keenster a few careful instructions, Orlando mounted his horse, led 500 of his men and left first. The 5,000 people were pulling out at the same time. It was too noticeable. Orlando has already arranged it, and the remaining 4,500 people. Will leave in batches in the next three days.

After sending Orlando away, Keynst immediately invited Ryan and Androkos, as well as Farath. In Keynst's view, Luke was in the position, and Farath's identity became very special. Of course, he must make a difference at this time. .When Keenster informed the three of what happened in the imperial capital and the hurried departure of Orlando, even Androcos, who had always been neutral, took a breath, not to mention Faras and Ryan, who were closely related to Luke. .

Under Keenster's arrangement, he invited Bailey and several magicians who were inclined to Chad, respectively, and Ryan and Androkos shot together to subdue them one by one.Bailey didn’t know what this was for. It wasn’t until he was firmly tied up that he learned the news of his father’s rebellion from Keenster’s mouth. Of course he knew that his father could not do that, otherwise it would be early. Just send someone to notify him or simply not let him come to Thor fortress, but who will listen to him to explain.Keenster simply had someone plug his mouth with a cloth strip, and then selected 40 guards to secretly imprison them. Each magician had 4 long swords on his neck. As long as there was any change, immediately Grid kill.

After doing all this, Keenster looked at the north with ambition, the imperial capital was in chaos, and the starry night in Orlando returned. Then the feats of defeating the orcs would eventually belong to him. With these credits, he was transferred back to the imperial capital to be basically unchanged. Up.
