Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Twenty-two days have passed since the orcs launched the attack. The bear clan warriors pointed out that the human defense line was repeatedly torn apart. Now the orcs have invaded the central area of ​​Fernando City, the high royal viewing platform in the distance. Already in the distance.

However, it was not all smooth sailing for the orcs to get here. The Bear Clan paid at least 80,000 warriors to die on the battlefield, and the other three clans combined also paid more than 50,000 casualties. As for the smaller tribes, Many elite fighters have been completely exhausted and have to withdraw from the battlefield.

Although the price paid by the orcs was great, the human losses were even more tragic. At least 1.5 million humans were killed in this catastrophe, and more than 2 million people were left homeless and had to live in the central area of ​​the imperial capital, whether it was the palace or the nobles. The homes are full of ragged refugees.

Fernando City has been hoarding supplies all the time since the establishment of Fernando City, so even though millions of people crowded together, humans can barely survive. On the orc side, as long as they looted human farms and manors outside the city, You can get enough food. Although the orcs mostly live on meat and don't like the wheat and other foods grown by humans, there is absolutely no problem in satisfying their hunger.

At this point in the war, there is nothing left to say. If you persist until you win or be dragged down by your opponent, there is no third way to go.The orcs want to break the imperial capital to consolidate their newly-occupied land on the South Tarun prairie, while the humans must fight to the death, because the Holy Alliance Empire has no actual control area in the south and lacks sufficient strategic space. Once the imperial capital falls, these millions of people will be slaughtered by the orcs. Thinking about that tragic fate will make people shudder.

"Huh!" Dozens of huge stone bullets whizzed through the air. This was an attack by the orcs. Under such a high-density stone throwing attack, the human defenders could no longer form a square formation against the enemy. This also means that the most effective infantry phalanx used by humans to resist the orcs is difficult to use.

In order to reduce casualties, a large number of human warriors had to hide in the buildings, relying on those buildings built with stones to defend against the stone bullets thrown by the orcs.The stone bullets sent by the orcs flew in the air for more than ten seconds, and they pierced one end, or hit the building, stirred up dust and bounced back to the ground, or penetrated those buildings that were not very strong, and fell directly. In the house.

After about twenty stone-throwing attacks, the orcs stopped this attack and began to send soldiers forward, preparing to take the human defense line, while the human soldiers slowly walked out of the bunker in groups of three or five. With the weapon in the handshake, he looked at the orc warrior approaching with expressionless expression.

Due to the lack of sufficient archers on the human side, there is no way to form a repressive arrow rain attack. Only when the orcs get close, they use feather arrows to sneak attack the orcs with feathers on their heads. The two sides have been fighting for so many days. It is understood that this feather is a unique mark of the orc commander.

However, such sneak attacks are usually not very effective, because the orcs respected by force and can be promoted to commanders, their personal combat power is much higher than others, even if they are sneaked by human shooters, most of them can be in the first place. Time to avoid or block directly, even if it is careless for a while, being shot a few arrows will make these strong orc commanders unbearable pain, on the contrary, it even arouses their fierceness.

When the orcs attacked the human line of defense, the hand-to-hand combat began. The humans formed a small phalanx and used the terrain to fight to the death against the orcs, while the orcs relied on their individual bravery to force a breakthrough.The battle is fierce and not static. Orcs attack human defenses. From time to time, several orcs form a charge formation to break through human defenses, but they will soon be surrounded by more human reinforcements and use their own numbers. The superiority on the kill.However, these humans will use their partial numbers to launch a counterattack to suppress the orcs. However, once the human formation becomes larger, they will be attacked by stone throwing from behind the orcs, and soon have to retreat due to heavy losses. , So more orcs used this as a breakthrough point and began to forcibly assault again.

The battle ended in a stalemate, but as a whole, the human line of defense was still being eaten by the orcs a little bit, and the royal observatory in the distance became clearer.The streets were full of corpses, most of which were humans, but there were also many orcs. In many cases, the two sides even directly piled these corpses together to form a bunker as a temporary line of defense.The human side has long since disappeared from the fear of the beginning of the war. Under the baptism of blood and fire for twenty days, a large number of human soldiers have grown from recruits to veterans. These veterans will soon be replaced and accepted by the rear priests. After a short break, they will bring more recruits back to the front line.

When the next batch of veterans who can return to the rear alive begins to rest, the priests who are treating the wounds will find that it is difficult to find familiar faces here, and the war is so cruel.Since the war, the only thing that can maintain the organization on the human side is the Royal Knights of Orlando. These knights who have undergone harsh training have become the backbone. They fought bravely on the front line to kill the enemy, bringing out a number of A group of qualified veterans never withdrew to rest.

Although the orcs have been equipped with a large number of sharper iron weapons, it is very difficult to split the armor of the holy knight that is blessed with magic, not to mention the holy knight, but in terms of personal combat power, it can be easy. Defeated the orcs ten times their own, and inspired by them, more and more human warriors forgot their timidity and joined the battle bravely.

Ryan and others never participated in the battle after returning to the Royal Observatory, because with the deepening of the orc offensive, the Royal Observatory, as the human command center, was also greatly threatened. Ryan must begin to perform his duties. Keep Catherine safe.However, under the control of the royal magician, the magical defense of the royal observatory can completely block the stone bullets flying in the air, so there is no need to worry about accidental injury.

Standing behind to watch the battle is actually a torment. Standing on the high viewing platform, Ryan can see the scene several kilometers away. He can clearly see the front line of the battle between humans and orcs. The orcs raised their sharp axe and chopped off the heads of the human warriors. Seeing the orcs expanding their offensive step by step, seeing that the humans were consuming the orcs' viable power at a cost of fifteen to one, Ryan suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Yes, Ryan's heart is full of confusion. He knows that his strength is very good among human magicians, but in the face of such a situation where hundreds of thousands and millions of people are fighting, Ryan can keep releasing. Thousands of fireballs can only delay the enemy's attack, not to mention that once the orcs are overwhelming and Ryan is attacked by the enemy, it is impossible for him to be unharmed, and it is impossible for him to cast spells without interference.

After all, the road that Ryan and Allendor are currently walking mainly tends to be fast and slow. Allendo's speed need not be elaborated. Ryan also tried his best to preemptively, and then madly cast spells to suppress opponents to fight back until Get the final victory.This method is quite effective in small-scale battles, but once faced with tens of thousands of enemies, if Ryan cannot have a large number of firm teammates to help support the defense, Ryan can only do it while playing. Retire, barely protect himself.

Tens of thousands of comrades formed a phalanx, almost telling the orcs: "Hurry up and hit me with a boulder!", so this method is not feasible.Ryan thought about it, but couldn't think of a perfect solution to the human dilemma before him. He also planned to take an elite troop to sneak attack on the orcs' stone dumping position.But this thought only took a turn in Ryan's mind, and he left it behind.

Orcs and humans are completely different in appearance. Neither party can sneak in secretly after putting on makeup, and there is no need to worry about the opponent's spies. However, this double-edged sword also makes it difficult for humans to grasp the specific location of the orcs' stone dump.The range of the orc’s boulder is about 1,000 to 1,500 meters. It’s a daunting task to cross the orc’s control area and go deep behind the orc to find a target that is constantly changing without being discovered. task.

Faras quickly became aware of Ryan’s thoughts. She knew Ryan’s thoughts were a bit extreme. After all, when fighting the orcs, the entire mankind, or at least the entire imperial capital, was the matter. It was possible for Ryan to bear all the responsibilities alone. ?So Faras found a suitable time to enlighten Ryan in a vague way, and Ryan opened his mind under the reminder of his close lover. He stopped thinking about meaningless things because of the military command on the human side. The official is Orlando, and Ryan, as long as he earnestly completes his task to protect Queen Catherine, it is enough.

Now Queen Catherine will use the amplified magic circle to give a speech to the human beings in the city almost every few hours, showing that she has not left, and inspiring everyone's morale.The result of this has greatly encouraged humans, but it has also allowed the orcs to find the vitality of humans. In the last three days, the orcs have increased their forces to attack the royal observatory seven times and successfully confirmed the royal observatory. The location of the station.

This is really no one to blame, because the orcs attack in other directions, as long as they increase their strength, they can advance a little, but the direction of the royal observatory alone is often fierce and difficult to move. If you still don’t understand where the human command center is Direction, the orc commander is really an idiot.Originally, during the battle, the command center of the army moved according to the actual situation of the battle, but in the entire imperial capital, only the royal observatory had a magic array with amplified sound. If Catherine left here, wouldn't it make everyone misunderstand that she has fled, so morale? It will definitely collapse on a large scale.

Based on these accidents and inevitability, the imperial capital offensive and defensive battle ushered in the fiercest battle to defend the royal observatory.
