Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard
Chapter 380 Sleepless Night (1)
Luke never understood the incident of the assassination, but he consciously strengthened the security of his mansion. In the incident of his majesty's assassination, he became the ultimate profiteer, so who can guarantee How about others putting their thoughts on Luke for the greater good?The security of Luke’s mansion is definitely not worse than that of the palace. There was originally a large number of magic circles designed by the great magician Victor for reconnaissance. Now the additional manpower is added so that people living here do not have to worry about their safety.
Of course, Luke didn’t know that the biggest reason why Fernando XIII was assassinated was the glamorous Catherine sitting opposite him. It was this glamorous queen who helped the shadow dancer who had reached the realm of legend. Sneak into the palace, otherwise it would be quite difficult for even the shadow dancer to sneak into the heavily guarded inner courtyard of the crown.If it hadn't been a breakthrough from the inside, there would be too many people who wanted His Majesty the King's death to be carried out for hundreds of years.
"Since you don't understand, then don't think about it, do the things in front of you first." This is Luke's creed of doing things. That night, under Catherine's persuasion, he decided to counterattack and controlled the situation in the imperial capital. He has always maintained a low-key posture, despite the noise in the Royal Chamber, but Luke himself secretly gathered the army, gathered supplies, and slowly controlled the overall situation.
But the biggest consequence of Luke’s doing this was to cause the empire to lose control. After all, a huge empire actually failed in a short period of time, the northern defense line was broken, the southern lord was about to move, and the Clays on the prairie were also They dared to sniper Orlando openly, but the empire remained silent. Even if Len and the others returned to the imperial capital with the defeated army of Thor Fortress, the empire did not immediately start full preparations for war, and it was still noisy.
When Luke thought of this, he felt a little distracted. He knew that the current situation of the empire was related to his intentional indulgence at the time, but he did not regret it. Even if he knew that this would be the result at the time, Luke would still be firm. Take the approach that he took at that time.In Luke's view, the most important factor affecting the empire is the rotten nobles. If no changes are made, even if Fernando XIII controls everything, most of the orders of the imperial ruler will not be able to leave the imperial capital, at most, it will be in Sunrise City. Several cities in Haifeng City have little influence.
"After 200 years, this empire is still getting old." Luke sighed inwardly with the vicissitudes of his face.
"Luke! Luke?" Catherine's voice made Luke come back to his senses. He secretly blamed himself for being distracted in such a situation. Is he really old?
"Luke, it seems that everyone has almost enjoyed it. Why don't we rest early, there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow!" Catherine saw that Luke had recovered and put forward her own initiative.
Luke nodded and agreed to Catherine’s suggestion, and then he personally sent Catherine to her resting place, which is next to the yard where Sister Farras lived, and Mai Ya and the others naturally lived with Ryan and others. One person per room.
After everything was settled, Luke remembered that the magic scroll that Victor had given him had not been given to Ryan. He had already walked to the door of his bedroom at the moment, and could not help but turn around with a wry smile.If it’s normal, Luke would definitely wait for the next day, but now is a very time, who knows when the orcs will come, and Luke will definitely be busy tomorrow morning, it’s better to hand it over to Ryan earlier, and if there is If necessary, Luke even hopes to send his two daughters to Victor's Magic Tower, which is definitely safer than his own residence.
An army of 500,000 orcs can trample a mountain and conquer a city, but they cannot find Victor's magic tower.Although Luke does not understand magic, he has always blindly trusted Victor. Even if he is surrounded by half a million troops, as long as Victor takes action, he can still retreat.
Soon, Luke saw Ryan in his study. Ryan was also surprised that Luke came to him at such a late hour, but he didn't say his doubts.It’s not a short time to know Falas. Although Ryan is not enthusiastic about politics and power, he also knows many taboos. For example, if you shouldn’t ask, don’t participate in the cooperation. Many things will let you know that you will naturally tell. You, without telling you, there must be a necessary reason.
Luke simply told Ryan what Victor had said, and gave the magic scroll to Ryan. Ryan took the set of scrolls with excitement and looked at it over and over again. If he guessed correctly, this scroll must be It’s a magic similar to space-time teleportation. He doesn’t know much about Victor, but he is still very curious about Victor’s ability to make a huge teleportation array on a small magic scroll. Admired.
Luke smiled and shook his head. This Ryan is really innocent. At this time, he is still thinking about magic. However, it is Ryan’s character that makes Luke not opposed to the matter between him and Farasi. , After all, as the daughter of the imperial chancellor of finance, Faras, there are countless men who have aspirations against her. If Ryan can always maintain a detached attitude and not intervene in this aspect of power, only Faras will live happily for a lifetime. , Is also a good thing.
"Well, you can watch it slowly when you have time." Luke interrupted his thoughts when he saw Ryan seemed immersed in it. When Victor was studying magic, he often meditated for three or five days. Hope Ryan will become like that, at least not now."By the way, if possible, Ryan, you should go and meet your comrades in Thor Fortress. The situation is not good for us now. If you can lead a team with good strength, I believe it will play a big role. At that time, you will be personally responsible for Catherine's safety protection, so I can rest assured."
Ryan didn't understand Luke's words. He asked Luke, "Catherine? Didn't it mean that holy knights are responsible for the safety of the royal family? Why do you want me to go? Ah, shouldn't it be you who are acting for private purposes? "
Luke's eyes opened up suddenly, and he stroked his chin, only to find that his beard had been repaired cleanly, and he didn't stroke anything at all.Luke couldn’t help but laughed and scolded: "Oh, you Ryan, you are very quick on your mind. This factor is a little bit, but it’s not important. If I want to protect you, I’ll just take you by my side, so why bother? trouble?"
When Ryan heard this, it was indeed the truth, and his eyes naturally showed a puzzled look.
Luke explained: "Since Catherine decides to stay after this banquet, I must ensure her safety, otherwise, even if the orcs are repulsed, I will be finished. People who trust, based on the relationship between you and Falasi, of course I will choose you. As for the holy knight, there is a very important reason for this, that is, the imperial capital’s military strength is weak now, and the imperial capital’s walls are wide in scope. Some armies are arranged in a balanced manner. As long as the orcs make a strong attack by relying on their numerical superiority, the imperial capital will be broken."
"In order to resist the hundreds of thousands of orcs, we must expand the army aggressively, but the soldiers just recruited have almost no training and no actual combat experience. Do you think they can be effective?" Before Ryan answered, Luke Self-consciously said: "I guess these recruits will collapse as soon as they see blood. In order to avoid this situation, we can only dismantle the Holy Knights. Now Orlando has 5000 official Holy Knights. About 5,000 trainee holy knights, each team of 100 people arranges one official holy knight and one trainee holy knight, then these people can be used as the backbone to expand into an army of 500,000. This number is actually not enough, but add the 20 Wan's elite army can barely fight."
"Why not disperse the 200,000 elite? Besides, the Holy Knights can immediately give these recruits combat effectiveness?" Ryan asked.
Luke explained: "Once the 200,000 elites are broken up, we won’t have an army that can be trusted and can fight tough battles. They still have to defend some important places. Only this elite can confront the orcs. .And holy knights, don’t you know, Ryan, these people have received military skills training, in fact, the Fernando royal family regards these holy knights as lower-level officers in training, and those holy knights who can be blessed by God are in the Royal Knights It became the most powerful army in the empire, and what failed to pass the test was the foundation of the army.
Ryan knew it immediately. It seemed that the king who founded the Royal Knights really had a foresight, so that the empire could come up with thousands of lower-level officers at any time. Once it encounters the current situation, it can immediately be formed into a huge one. army.
"Okay, let's not talk about this." Luke smiled and said to Ryan: "You go back and rest, tomorrow will be very busy. I will leave it to you for that matter, which is very important."
Ryan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll do my best." Ryan finished saying this, and seeing that Luke didn't say anything, he put the scroll and went out.
Luke poured himself a glass of the best Bordeaux and drank it all.Then faintly said: "Chad, Chad, now all of your properties belong to me. Even the best Bordeaux that you have kept for more than 200 years and have been reluctant to drink I can drink as clean water. Hey, This power is really easy to use."
"Oh, my two daughters, the men they fancy are very good, but unfortunately they are not keen on power at all! Orlando will not say it, Ryan is as simple as an unused one. Magic scroll. In fact, what I just hinted was already obvious,'only' the 200,000 elites can fight head-on, and the temporarily recruited army is only a set of figures in the data that consumes the power of the orcs. Maybe it’s because I have been in a high position for too long, Have you been indifferent to many things?"
"Since you are not enthusiastic about these things, then forget it. It will be my greatest happiness to make my two daughters happy forever. However, maybe it's time for me to train a successor. Well, let's take a look. You two sisters, who is a boy?"
Luke was lost in thought in the study with the crystal glass.
