Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 442 Turning Point in War (3)

On the battlefield, the match between Andreas and Orlando continued.Under Orlando’s planned and patient defense, Andreas could not take any advantage. His "Anger" and "Frost Whisper" double swords and Orlando's "Passion" long sword and "Lion pattern" shield are all Magic weapons are not much different in the effect of enchanting. When Orlando is fully defensive, even Andreas, the swordmaster, cannot break through the protection of the holy knight in a short time.

In order to defeat the opponent, Andreas adopted various methods.He disturbed Orlando's sight with his unpredictable figure, but Orlando could completely block the passage from Andreas to the top of the Royal Observatory by simply moving where he stood. Andreas wanted to continue. So I had to face Orlando.In order to quickly cross the blockade of Orlando, Andreas directly swung his two swords in his hand and launched continuous thrusts at the same part of Orlando, but Orlando just gently waved the lion-patterned shield in his hand, and Andreas The attack was blocked.

Under the action of the thought of quick battle and quick decision, Andreas even showed one flaw after another, attracting Orlando to attack him. In his opinion, Orlando’s defenses can be described as airtight, but this holy knight is attacking and defending. There will always be some flaws in the conversion, but Orlando is so slow and attentive to stalemate with Andreas. Whether Andreas deliberately reveals the flaws or if there is a loophole, Orlando is not moved, just firm. Block Andreas's passage to the top of the viewing platform.

In this way, the most powerful attack point of the orcs, Sword Saint Andreas was dragged down by the human holy knight Orlando. As a result, it is almost impossible for the orcs to break through as quickly as before. This is for humans. It is indeed a good thing for the army, at least no one will be killed by that hurricane until Orlando is defeated.

However, Orlando can only hold Andreas alone, and his human warriors cannot stop the onslaught of the orcs, especially after the orc shaman sacrifices at the cost of life, the blood guards of the Beast Emperor's blood guards attack more. It was sharp, not to mention the human recruits who were temporarily recruited, even those elite troops who had undergone rigorous training were losing ground under the attack of the Blood Guard.

This is not to say that the human elites are greedy for life and fear of death, but that the gap between them and the blood guards of the orcs is too great. As long as the warriors on both sides entangled a little, the double-edged battle axe of the orcs will slash over without mercy, and the elites of the humans Even if the warrior raised the shield in his hand, he still couldn't stop the attack of the orc, or the person and the shield were directly split into two, or the orc slammed into flight.

Therefore, the steadily retreating of elite human warriors is based on the premise of their massive casualties. People are killed in battle, how can the position be guarded?And the so-called elite, there are also different levels.The elite troops of humans in the imperial capital can only be regarded as the third level elite in the strict sense.

According to the deployment of the year and the development over the years, the first-level elite force of the human empire is the Royal Knights under Orlando. It is an absolute elite. If Orlando does not disperse the holy knights, then rely solely on With this power of five thousand people, Orlando is enough to contend with ten times as many orc blood guards.

Of course, Orlando has no way to distribute its subordinates, because the new recruits recruited by mankind simply cannot have any fighting capacity in just a few days. If there is no backbone to fill them, I am afraid they will be defeated before they even go to the battlefield. .And even if Orlando brought together these 5,000 elites, if there were no hundreds of thousands of troops to support them, they would still suffer heavy losses under the siege of a large army of orcs.

Holy knights are very good, but they are not gods. They will still be tired, bleed, get hurt, and die.

Excluding these holy knights, the second-level elite warriors of the human empire are the legions in the Thor Fortress, but most of them have been buried forever in the northern fortress, and only General Jonas leads Part of it was returned, but the number is not very large.

The elites stationed in the imperial capital are considered to be only the third level, but under the premise that the Holy Knights are dispersed and the Thor Fortress is almost annihilated, they become the most elite troops, becoming Luke and Orlando. The last trump card in the hand.

And if the orcs are to classify the elite troops, then the blood guards of the Beast Emperor are the elite of the elite. In a sense, their status is equivalent to the human royal knights, and because of the orcs’ individual status The combat power is several times that of human soldiers, so if you calculate it according to this simple method, it is normal for the human army to pay such a price.

After all, the blood guards are the direct descendants of the Wild Bear clan. They have experienced enough training and practical practice, especially in the blood arena for ten endless battles. Those beasts who survive to the end are eligible to join this team. The selection conditions are cruel, and the fighters who can be selected strictly according to the conditions are the best.

On the human side, most of the 100,000 elites left by Orlando and Luke have now been lost. In order to fill the gap left by their deaths, a large number of temporary recruits have been transferred up and joined the battle.These recruits joined the battle under the leadership of the Holy Knight Captain. It is not easy for them to fight to the death. If their homeland is not under their feet, I am afraid that under the attack of the orcs, even Orlando will not be able to lead the team. Avoid their rout.

Of course, not being defeated does not mean that they can play a big role. Originally, these recruits are far less effective than the orcs, and now they cannot have any cooperation. Basically, once they face the pressure of the orcs, everyone is In their own fight.The sole purpose of these recruits being sent to the battlefield is to consume the power of the orcs. In fact, they also did this, although the ratio was approaching fifty to one.

Ryan saw that the human front was shrinking. He took a big step and wanted to continue joining the battle group. Unexpectedly, a person next to him suddenly took Ryan's arm and stopped his behavior.Ryan turned his head and looked over, it turned out to be Luke.Luke shook his head slightly at Ryan, and then whispered: "Enough, your task now is to protect Queen Catherine."

"But," Ryan defended his behavior: "With the strength of Her Majesty, she doesn't need our protection at all."

Luke shook his head with a wry smile, then lowered his voice again and said, "Enough, Ryan. Before, you ignored my objection and forcibly joined the team. Although you have achieved a good record, Allendo is seriously injured. Go ahead. Fulfill your wish, I have nothing to say, after all, you are also an adult man. You know what you should and should not do. But..."

At this point, Luke suddenly looked at Faras next to Ryan, and then said gravely to Ryan, "I don't have a son, but two daughters. Orlando cannot leave the Imperial City because of his responsibilities. But you don't. Similarly, your current status is just the head of a certain mercenary group."

Luke patted Ryan on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "I hope my daughter can live well, but with Sophie’s and Orlando’s feelings, I’m afraid my wish will not come true, but Faras still There is a chance, can't you even realize my little wish?"

Ryan said hesitantly, "This, this... I can't just sit back and watch, right?"

Luke said, "You did your best before, right? Now even if you go up again, can you change the ending? No! You can't do this, so please do what you can. Continue to complete the task I gave you. Even if we lose this war, it does not mean that mankind will lose everything. We can make a comeback. In many cases, it is harder to live than to die generously."

Seeing Ryan’s doubts, Luke continued: “As long as the queen is still there, then the empire will still have a chance. There are still many cities south of the mainland, and there will always be a chance to regain lost ground. Neither I nor Orlando It is our responsibility to leave this city, but who will protect Her Majesty? This person must be trusted by us, can’t let Senat do this, right? Well, don’t talk about it, just take it It's the last wish of an old man." Luke's last sentence was very plain, but there was deep regret in his words.

Ryan's mind was in confusion. He weighed and weighed, but he didn't know what he should do?In fact, Ryan has done a lot, completely surpassing what he should do.If calculated according to military merit, I am afraid that few people can surpass Ryan in the defense of the imperial capital, but Ryan always feels regretful, because he found that his strength looks good, but in this kind of war of hundreds of thousands of people China does not help at all.

Ryan stood there silently, facing a dilemma, he fell into hesitation.Unconsciously, Ryan lost his mind. He thought of his parents, teachers, and Faras.Thinking of this, Ryan subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Farasi, and suddenly thought of Victor from Farasi, and remembered the magic scroll that Luke had given him before.

Ryan found the scroll in his storage pocket. If it was normal, Ryan would definitely study the magic circle on this scroll, but now Ryan didn’t have time. He aimed at the orc who was less than 30 meters away from him under the viewing platform. Forcefully tore the scroll open, a faint white light emitted from the scroll, and disappeared without a trace after a few seconds.

However, this scroll flashed a white light, and there was no other reaction. The orcs not far away were still slashing the human defenders frantically. This made Ryan very, very disappointed. Could it be that this scroll is just a failed work?
