Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

When Ryan was thinking about it, he heard a rush of footsteps in the yard.Ryan felt a little strange in his heart. At this time, how could someone come and walk in such a hurry. Is there anything important?So Ryan jumped to the ground, walked a few steps to the door, and opened the door.

The master of the footsteps was a man who was about forty years old and dressed in a servant costume.Of course Ryan recognized this person. He was one of Luke's personal attendants. Soon after the dinner was over, it was this servant who was ordered by Luke to take himself to Luke's study.

The man came hurriedly and was about to yell when he saw Ryan push open the door of his own room. When he was still in the middle of the yard, he already shouted impatiently: "Mr. Ryan, Lord Luke, please go right away His study."

Ryan was taken aback, and asked the servant, "Didn't you just go there? Why..."

Speaking of this, Ryan's voice immediately lowered, because he remembered the fascinating experience he had just now. Wasn't the heroine of that encounter Luke's daughter?Ryan thought anxiously, "Isn't it because he knew what happened just now? Could it be my sister..."

The follower didn’t know what Ryan was thinking. He was instructed by Luke himself to take Ryan over. Seeing Ryan motionless after listening to his words, he quickly walked to Ryan’s side, in Ryan’s ears. Bian whispered: "Master Luke's order, please bring your companions and rush over immediately." After finishing speaking, the servant added: "The matter is very urgent."

Ryan nodded. Since Luke said so, it must be an urgent matter, so he let go of his voice and shouted: "Ellendo! Flanner! Get up, there is an urgent matter!"

As soon as the servant hurried over, Allendor woke up from his deep sleep. As a druid, Allendor was ready to fight at any time. Now I heard Ryan's shout. He opened the door and walked out with Xiaobai.Flanner's dark room also lit up. About 2 minutes later, Flanner also pushed open the door and walked out while wearing his clothes.

Ryan said to them: "Luke sent someone to inform us that there is an urgent matter. We will go to his study now." Ellendor and Flanner nodded together, and the three of them took Xiaobai and followed closely. Walked with that pro to Luke's study.

Except for Flanner, not long after they came here, Ryan and Allendo lived in Luke's mansion for a long time. They were very familiar with the environment here, and soon they came to Luke's study.

Luke was walking around in his study anxiously, and it seemed that he hadn't left after explaining things to Ryan.When Ryan and the others walked in, Luke quickly said to Ryan: "There is no time to say more. I just received the news from the scout. About 170 kilometers north of the imperial capital, I encountered the vanguard of the orcs."

"Ah!" Ryan and the others were shocked.

"The most damn thing is," Luke's face was stubborn, which was completely different from his usual peace: "The team that was sent out dropped two farms and tens of thousands of farmers, and just ran back."

Ryan asked Luke, "How many orcs are there? Where's our team?"

Luke realized that he was a little gaffe. He adjusted his mentality and returned to his usual state. Then he replied, "500 cavalry, 2500 infantry, and 1,000 carriages. They just left everything like this. Ran away, and according to the intelligence of the scouts, those orcs are definitely the vanguard, with no more than 500 people."

"Huh, the leader of the team must be killed, otherwise our army will collapse before the battle. I made it very clear when I issued the order. When the enemy army is encountered, the residents will be organized to resist, and we will promptly inform us. Sending reinforcements, but they actually..." Luke said fiercely.

Ryan shook his head slightly, and was very dissatisfied with the captain who fled. Based on his experience in fighting the orcs, if the captain was willing to immediately organize the young and middle-aged on the farm like himself, and use the local houses to resist, it may not be If you can’t beat the orcs from afar, as long as you can block one block, Luke will definitely organize more troops to support him when he receives the news. In any case, he will have to transport people away. As for the houses and supplies, Just burn it before leaving.

"Please give an order!" Ryan resolutely said: "I can go to support immediately!"

Luke shook his head and said, "No, it's too late. 170 kilometers, even if it's a fast horse, it will take a whole day, you rush over now, maybe the two farms have been blood washed, even if not. , You run with all your might, can you still have combat effectiveness?"

"that……"

"According to what I just told you, go and form a team immediately." Luke said his thoughts: "Ryan, um, you should be called Captain Ryan. You organize this team in the name of a mercenary group, Then try to protect the safety of Catherine, and Falasi and their sisters."

"Why in the name of the mercenary group?" Ryan asked puzzledly.

"The time is urgent, so I won't explain it to you." Luke waved his hand and said to the three of them: "Now, in the name of the imperial chancellor of the treasury, I hire a mercenary group to protect the imperial queen and her entourage. , Please head Ryan must go all out. The corresponding remuneration, ha ha, even if it’s Fa Lasi’s dowry."

When Ryan heard the last sentence, his face flushed immediately. He wanted to say something, but because of Luke's last sentence, he didn't know how to say it.Flanner's eyes flashed a bright light. He heard something in Luke's words, and he stepped forward and patted Ryan's shoulder lightly, indicating that he would handle it, and then said to Luke: "Respect Lord Luke, as the logistic manager of the Lane mercenary group, I will take this task on behalf of the entire mercenary group, and I am willing to serve you."

Luke took a deep look at Flanner, who also looked at him with a clear look.Luke smiled slightly and said to the people in the room: "Now, everything is up to you. I must rush to the barracks right away, and then rush to the north wall with Orlando to set up the defense line. Catherine and the others are still living with me for the time being. After you finish the team, immediately take over their security protection.” Saying this, Luke took out a token from his body and handed it to Ryan, “This is my token. Now the empire is in a wartime state. You can use this token to travel through the imperial capital, and at the same time, once the army or personnel you fancy, you can absorb them into the Lane mercenary group on the spot. Those who don't follow the order will be put to death!"

Ryan hesitated to take Luke’s order. Luke’s words tonight gave Ryan a bad premonition. Ryan vaguely felt that Luke’s words had other intentions, but he didn’t think about it for a while. understand.Flanner patted Ryan on the shoulder and motioned for him to leave quickly.Ryan turned and glanced at Flanner, who gave him a wink.

Ryan and Flanner have been together for a long time, and a small action between each other can transmit information, just like he and Allendo's coordinated battle.According to Flanner's look, Ryan knew that Flanner had known Luke's intentions, and that time was urgent and there was no possibility of delay.So Ryan collected the token, and after saying hello, took Elendo and Flanner and strode out.

The three people quickly left Luke's mansion and walked on the street.Flanner asked Ryan, "Where shall we go first?" Ryan said as he walked: "Go and find Colin and the others first, and see how many of our comrades fighting together in Thor's Fortress are willing to join the mercenary group, and then Consider the next step."

"Okay!" Ellendor and Flanner, who walked behind Ryan, replied together.

"By the way, Flanner." Ryan strode forward, while asking Flanner in a low voice, "What Luke said just now seemed to have a meaning, you know?"

Flanner nodded and said, "Of course I know that Luke was actually arranging a retreat."

"Retreat?" Ryan stopped when he heard the words. He turned to face Flanner and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Flanner whispered: "Head, the situation is critical now, and time is very tight. In any case, you should not be emotional."

Ryan stomped his feet and said, "What the hell are you talking about? Don't hide it!"

Flanner explained: "I don't know how Luke told you before, but he hired a mercenary group to ask you to protect Catherine and Sister Farath, and he planned for the worst!"

"Could it be that……"

"Whether it is Luke or Orlando, their current status absolutely does not allow them to leave the millions of residents of the imperial capital. If they can defeat the orcs, of course it's best, but if by any chance..."

"If the orcs capture the imperial capital, we will only be hired as a mercenary group, and the task is to protect the personnel, and there is no need to coexist and die with this city. So we can abandon the imperial capital and leave here!" Knowing what Flanner meant, he added: "And Catherine, Faras and others, can also leave under our protection, right?"

Flanner did not speak, apparently acquiescing to Ryan's words.

Ryan stared at Flanner for 5 minutes before letting out a long sigh: "No, that kind of situation will never happen."

Allendo suddenly interrupted and said, "So we are working hard, Ryan."

Ryan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he suddenly opened up. He said in confident language: "Yes, as long as we haven't given up our efforts, hope will not be annihilated!"

Just as Ryan said these loud words, the east side of Fernando City, the direction of the sea, the intersection of the sky and the earth, faintly revealed a hint of white, which is a sign that the sun is about to rise.When the sun rises high, the dark sleepless night will pass, and a new day will come.
