Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 389 Catherine's Determination (1)

Catherine came to Luke and Orlando with graceful steps. Ryan, Elendo, and Faras all walked up the city wall behind Catherine. Luke and Orlando hurriedly saluted Catherine, but Catherine stopped.

"Master Luke, General Orlando." Catherine asked directly: "There are rumors in the city now, most of which are related to the opening of the Magic Teleportation Array. A large number of people are full of worries. They don't know what their future is. I. I hope you can immediately mobilize manpower to comfort these people. The empire has failed to bring them peace and happiness, but it cannot let them live in doubt and danger!"

Luke and Orlando were silent when facing Catherine's request. After a while, Orlando said to Catherine with a shameful expression: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Queen, we can't get any manpower now."

"Why? There are still hundreds of thousands of troops?"

"That's it, Your Majesty the Queen." Luke rushed to explain: "The Imperial Capital does have 200,000 troops, but this is our most elite army. It is a waste to do these things, and these elites are in progress. To mobilize, be sure to enter their defense area before the orcs arrive."

"Then, didn't you mean to recruit more fighters?"

"Now a corps of 60,000 people has been reorganized, but their top priority is to immediately move or destroy the residents, buildings, and materials outside the city. They can't get them out. Besides, even if there is really surplus military power, in this At that time, it would be better to train them more than to have them all over the street as messengers."

After listening to Luke's explanation, Catherine was very disappointed, and her face immediately showed it.But Catherine knew that Luke didn't mean to embarrass herself. She sighed and looked at the north of the city wall blankly. There should be the place where the orcs were about to leave.

"Please go back immediately!" Luke persuaded Catherine: "Time is tight. Ryan and his mercenary group have just been formed and need a certain degree of running-in. Moreover, the teleportation formation in the palace is now being activated, according to every ten minutes. Performing a teleportation calculation, about tomorrow afternoon, those officials and nobles will almost all be teleported away. It happens that we can also organize 4 more legions here. At that time, Orlando will personally lead the team to receive the privates of the officials and nobles. Soldiers and industries. If all goes well, we will be able to complete the defense of the imperial capital by the day after tomorrow."

"Do I need to do anything? I can't just watch it like this!"

"Pray, Your Majesty Queen! Pray to all the gods you believe in, hoping to bless us!"

"Well, as you wish!" Catherine nodded, turned and walked down the city wall.

Luke said to Ryan in a short sentence: "I'll leave it to you here. In case... please protect Faras."

"Father!" This was the first time Farasi heard Luke speak to herself in a tone that was almost an account of funeral, and she was shocked for a while.Ryan stretched out his left hand, held Farasi's right hand tightly, and then shook his head and said to Luke: "Nothing in case, Uncle Luke! I hope you can watch me and Farasi live a happy life forever, and It’s not somewhere to bless us silently. Brother Orlando and Sister Sophie must think so too."

Orlando smiled and said: "Don't be so pessimistic, no matter how powerful the orcs are, they are far less numerous than ours. Besides, the holy knights of the Royal Knights are protected by the gods of light and want to defeat us unless we destroy us. Faith!"

Ryan let go of Falasi's hand, then raised his right hand, fisted into a fist, and punched his left chest lightly. This was the manners of a holy knight.Orlando did the same, and replied skillfully.

Ryan stretched out his arms and gave Orlando a hard hug, then hugged Luke again. After doing this, he turned and left without looking back.Allen Duo didn't say a word, and followed closely behind Ryan. For this druid, the only reason he had been stuck in the human city was his friend Ryan.

A sparkle suddenly appeared in Farasi’s eyes. She leaned her body on Luke and whispered: "Father, take care." Luke smiled and stroked Farasi’s soft hair, and said with a mockery: "I think I don’t want to go to see the gods. Besides, if I were to go, there would be no more people left in this city. Don’t worry, Fannie, I will accompany you and Soni after defeating these green-skin bastards. Having fun for a few days, I remember that when you were a kid, you liked catching butterflies on the farm in the suburbs."

"I'm waiting for you, father." Falas kissed Luke on the face, stood up straight, and said to Orlando, "Brother-in-law, don't make your sister wait too impatiently."

"Don't worry! The power that can destroy the faith of the holy knight on this continent has not yet appeared. Even the huge number of undead army 200 years ago, was not finally destroyed by the sword of the holy knight?"

"I'm leaving." Farasi reluctantly left the city wall.Luke and Orlando adjusted their mentality a little, and left these children's personal relationships behind them, and then proceeded with their affairs.

Christina did not go up the city wall with Catherine. She saw Calvin under the city wall. Her teammates who had participated in the Royal Athletic Tournament with her, talked with Calvin for a while with Catherine's permission.Unexpectedly, without saying a few words, I saw Catherine walking down the city wall. Christina hurriedly said hello to Calvin, and quickly followed.Catherine returned to her carriage without saying a word and signaled Christina to go back. At this time Ryan and Elendo also came, Christina asked Ryan with her eyes, Ryan shook his head slightly, motioned for a while, and then gave The returned command.

After Catherine returned to Luke's mansion, she went straight back to her room and refused to come out again. Even the dinner was brought into the bedroom by the maid.Christina guarded the outside of Catherine's room, while Ryan and Elendo, as well as Flanner and others were all here.

Ryan's intention was to prepare to discuss with everyone a thorough protection plan. It would be better for a few people to take turns on duty, otherwise everyone would not be able to rest, which was very bad before the war.Fortunately, he is now fighting the orcs. Ryan does not need to consider too many spies and assassins, otherwise Ryan will definitely turn his hair gray.

"Captain Christina..." Ryan took the initiative to speak, but Christina interrupted him and said, "Just call me Christina. Now you are the captain of the Catherine Queen's guard. Lord Luke will hand over this position. I gave it to you, no matter what the format."

"Well, now everyone is no longer an opponent in the Royal Tournament, but is a comrade-in-arms. Let's call each other directly." Lane said: "Regarding Catherine's safety protection, I suggest dividing into two groups and rotating. Go on. Christina, you and Faras are each in a team, and the female knights around you are evenly distributed and are responsible for rotating personal protection."

"No problem." Christina said directly: "I'll make arrangements soon."

"Well, because you are a knight and Faras is a magician, so I and Elendo complement each other, that is, I and you are a group, and Elendo and Faras are a team, so that the strength will be balanced. Fran Let’s go with Alan Duo, Colin and Thomas,"

"Yes!" Colin and Thomas answered almost in unison.

"You will allocate the manpower, each with 200 fighters, and follow the team of me and Flanner respectively. The remaining 100 will serve as a reserve team and will not be used for the time being."

"Yes."

"That’s it. I’ll be on duty tonight, and the other team will go to rest. But Farasi, you have to work harder. You take some people to San Nebiro’s Cathedral to find Master Ibel, hoping that he can help We provide some manpower. If there are enough manpower, it is best to deploy some more to Luke."

"I'll go too!" Alina said, "I just went to find that fellow Reid. I haven't seen him much since he studied hard."

"Okay, pay attention to safety on the road." Ryan waved his hand. He didn't realize that he had a sense of leadership between his gestures. Although he is now imitating Orlando more, it is more than when he first walked out of his hometown. , Ryan has grown too much.

Ryan sat on the floor, biting the barbecue in his hands, while Christina was standing not far from him, eating with a large plate.It was almost midnight now, and Ryan and Christina realized that they had not eaten dinner after they were busy, so they found someone to get two copies.Ryan naturally let go of his hands and feet as usual. He would not pretend to be gentle because Christina is a woman. In fact, Ryan did not regard Christina as a girl at all, because the latter brought him more of the tenacity and toughness of men. Persistent.

The door was pushed abruptly, and Catherine walked out wearing an ordinary robe.Christina quickly put down the food in her hand and walked over a few steps, while Ryan walked over with the big piece of barbecue directly, not caring about the so-called etiquette.

"Ryan, immediately send someone to the palace and invite the four magisters on duty here." Catherine said: "I have decided. Since Luke and the others have no manpower, I will do it myself."

"Okay. But what is your plan?"

"On the Royal Observatory in the center of the city, there is an amplified teleportation array. I am going to turn it on and spread my voice to every corner of the city. I want to tell my people, even all the officials, The nobles have run away. I, Queen Catherine, are still with them and will never abandon them."

"Luke once said that all the royal magicians are now starting the magic teleportation array, I'm afraid..."

"The sooner the better." Catherine said: "After turning on the amplified magic circle, I will stay at the royal observatory until I defeat the orcs or coexist and die with the city."
