Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 379 Luke's Dinner (3)

Seeing Catherine straight into the subject, Luke's expression became serious. He sighed and said: "Orlando is not coming tonight, but is mobilizing the army. There are more than two hundred thousand elite troops in the imperial capital. These are not enough. , We want to get the millions of people from the suburbs into the city and recruit more soldiers from them. But this way, the logistics is under a lot of pressure, and we don’t have much time."

Catherine nodded. It is an indisputable fact that mankind is now at a strategic disadvantage. Why did the northern defense line of Thor Fortress fall?

"The fall of Thor Fortress, this is not the worst thing." Luke sighed and said: "According to the news that General Jonas and Ryan brought back, although they burned one of the Thor Fortress camps when they retreated, But still more than 50% of the supplies fell into the hands of the orcs. Thinking that the original orc warriors are now more fully armed, I..."

Catherine said, "What do I need to do?"

Luke considered the words and said to Catherine: "In order to fight against the orc warriors with human-style equipment, we must unite tightly. But I worry about the nobles. You must know that for hundreds of years, these nobles have always relied on oppression. The civilians make a living, if they continue to dominate the city, once infighting is caused, then the battle will know the result without fighting. Therefore, this hidden danger must be resolved in advance."

"You want me to restrain these nobles?" Catherine followed Luke's words and said, "No problem, I will try my best."

Luke shook his head slowly, and said, "Please forgive my frankness, Catherine. With your current status, I am afraid it will not help at all. And those nobles have a large number of private soldiers in their hands. If you want to keep it under control They are bound to hold back a large number of our troops. This kind of internal friction is too serious."

"So, I plan to activate the teleportation magic circle." Luke said his plan: "At the cost of these nobles' properties outside the city, start teleportation to the southern seawind city's magic circle. As long as these guys leave here, then there will be nothing. I'm worried. What's more important is that teleporting magicians is not permanent. It's okay to teleport some personnel and materials in a small amount, but too many can't do..."

"In this way, the large amount of resources in the hands of those nobles, as well as their private soldiers, can only stay in the imperial capital. Then Luke, you and Orlando can easily requisition them all." Catherine said Lu The following words.

"Your wisdom is as amazing as your beauty." Luke nodded and said, "The only ring that turns on the teleportation magic circle is you and..." Of course, Luke couldn't say the name of Fernando XIII, so he dragged it vaguely. Past.

Of course Catherine understood what Luke meant. For the dead Fernando XIII, Catherine had no feelings at all. It was nothing more than taking advantage of his identity, so there was no sorrow."I understand, there is no problem, I will give an order for the Royal Mage to open the teleportation array."

"Thank you very much." Luke put a piece of fruit into his mouth and said while tasting: "I guess I can start sending them early tomorrow morning. The sooner these hidden dangers leave, the better."

"There is one more thing." Catherine said: "I just heard you say that there will be a large number of civilians coming into the city. At that time, their accommodation and food will be a big problem. I will take the lead to do something within my capacity. Lu K, I decided to move out of the palace. The teleportation magic circle should be inside the palace. After all the nobles have left, let the civilians live in."

"Isn't this bad?" Luke was taken aback when he heard this and allowed civilians to live in the palace, something that has never happened in the 200 years since the establishment of the Holy Empire.

"There is nothing bad." Catherine said firmly: "The people of the empire use their lives to defend the dignity of the empire, and I just moved out of my own home. Luke, if everything goes well, naturally there is no need to say more. If the situation is unfavorable, I will coexist and die with the imperial capital at the Royal Observatory!"

Everyone present was moved by Catherine’s beliefs. As Catherine, she could be the first to leave here, but Catherine did not. Instead, she did her best to defeat the orcs, even if she paid the price of her life. At whatever it takes.

Christina stood up abruptly, and said with all her strength, "Katherine, if you really get to that point, the orcs must step over my corpse if they want to hurt you!" Maia, Calshite and others also Immediately after Christina expressed their opinions that they wanted to fight Catherine at the last moment, the atmosphere of the whole dinner suddenly became serious.

"Okay, okay." Catherine said gently to the people around her: "Today is Luke's dinner. It's not about facing those ugly orcs. Let's not talk about that. Let's taste the freshness. The fruit of the year." After hearing Catherine's words, everyone sat back.Catherine inserted a purple grape and put it into her mouth, slowly tasting the sweet and sour taste, and at the same time quickly thinking about how to approach Faras in her mind.

It takes only ten seconds to eat a grape, and Catherine came up with a complete plan.She put down the knife and fork, smiled and said to Luke: "Luke, now I move out of the palace, I can be regarded as homeless."

Luke smiled at this and said to Catherine: "If you don't dislike it, just live with me. You won’t be lonely if you have a couple of their sisters with you. And if you live together, it’s safe. It is also easy to guarantee that if you live separately, the strength of the security alone will involve a lot of manpower."

Falash clapped her hands and said, "It's great, just to ask Catherine's sister for some magic."

Catherine smiled and said to Farath: "Ha, with Ryan by your side, do you still need me to tell me?"

"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Faras and Ryan were blushing, wishing to get under the table.Falasi glared at Ryan fiercely, and said in a low voice, "It's all to blame for you." Ryan looked at Falasi's shy look, and a sweetness filled his heart.

An impulse suddenly surged in Ryan's heart, just wanting to hold Farasi tightly in his arms and never separate.Ryan had never felt this way before, and he couldn't say whether it was good or bad, but he couldn't restrain it.Under the control of this feeling, Ryan couldn't help but chuckles in Falash's ear and said, "I don't seem to have done anything. Are you angry about this?"

This is the first time Faras has heard Ryan flirting with her in such a public place. Her head is lowered and her face has become more ruddy. Seeing Ryan a blush in her heart, she can’t wait to see her. A bite on the cheek.While Falasi raised her eyelids and took a peek at everyone, and found that no one else was paying attention to her, she stretched out her hand from under the table, touched Ryan's body, and twisted vigorously under his ribs. .

As soon as Faras’ hand touched Ryan’s body, Ryan immediately guessed what Falasi meant. His face immediately showed an extremely exaggerated painful expression, but at the same time he released it under his ribs. A miniature stone skin technique.Faras didn’t notice Ryan’s small movements. She saw Ryan’s expression, her heart softened, and her hand loosened naturally. Then she lowered her head and said in Ryan’s ear: “Lyan, you’re bad at learning. Hehe."

Ryan's heart trembled. He stretched out his hand and tightly grasped the small hand that Farasi stretched out, and at the same time said in Farasi's ear: "I will be bad for you for a lifetime."

The eyes of the two moved, intertwined in the air, and could no longer be separated.

The other people in the banquet naturally did not pay attention to the small movements between Ryan and Farath. Under Luke's guidance, they chatted again.And Luke saw that Catherine had no problem with his arrangement, so he said to Mai Ya and others naturally: "Mai Ya, Karl Sit, you guys stay here too, we can take care of each other together."There are still a lot of vacant rooms over there, even if a dozen more people come in, it will be enough."

Meyer and Karl Sit naturally knew the current situation. They both said just now that they would protect Catherine at the cost of their lives, and naturally they would live near Catherine, so they nodded and agreed.

Luke let out a sigh of relief, and everything is now going in a good direction.During the day, Luke had dispatched his men to cooperate with Orlando's army to give priority to the evacuation of personnel north of the Imperial Capital. All the materials that could be removed were removed, and the ones that could not be removed were burned on the spot.Before the dinner, Victor also said that he would never stand idly by, as long as he remembered to give the magic scroll to Ryan.Now Catherine also agreed to open the magic circle, and she will live in her own residence.

To be honest, Luke is still very confident about the safety of his residence, especially after the unknown assassin assassinated Fernando XIII, he has never relaxed his investigation of this matter, although a lot of thefts have been found. Such small things, but until now he still hasn't found any information about the assassin. Only one maid in the entire palace is missing, and there is no suspicion for other people, including the tailors who were temporarily recruited from the tailor shop.

How did that assassin pass through the tight defenses of the palace, and how did those detective magic circles get in?Luke has always been puzzled. The only possibility at the moment is that the palace's defense has made a mistake in an unnoticed place, but this loophole that should exist is not found, as if it does not exist. It's a dead knot.
