Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 479 Night Attack (3)

The killing sound from the direction of the city gate almost awakened half of the residents of Seawind City from their sleep, and the slum where Ryan was located was only two blocks away from the only gate of Seawind City, so it didn’t take long to sleep. Ryan and others walked out of their room one after another.

Ellendor quickly climbed up the big tree in the yard and stood on the top of the tree and looked in the direction where the killing was heard. Ryan looked at Maia who was still sitting under the tree. Obviously this A pastor has lost himself, he has not figured out the problem that is bothering him.

"What's going on?" Oz hurried into the yard. He was completely drunk at the moment, but the only shoe on his foot still exposed Oz's inner anxiety.

"Huh!" Ellendor lightly jumped from the treetops. He glanced at Oz and said to Ryan: "Fighting, there are about 500 people, and the battlefield is at the city gate."

"How could this be?" Oz yelled out, "Seawind City has nearly 30,000 troops."

Robin, who walked quickly out of the room, heard Ellendor's words as soon as he walked out of the room. He looked at Ryan, opened his mouth, but hesitated again. Ryan did not have so many worries, he directly said what he was thinking of. Thought: "It can only be Senat's rebels. Only he has such a powerful force in the south."

When Robin saw Ryan, he seemed to be disregarding Oz. He also knew that Oz was Ryan’s teammate before, so he opened his mouth and said, “I think it’s best to rush to the palace in the middle of the city right now, where the most elite army of the empire is stationed. , And there is also a teleportation magic circle connecting the imperial capital."

"It's on fire, it's on fire!" There was a scream of horror in the distance, and Allendo moved quickly. With force on his feet, he ran up to the big tree in a few steps. Affected by his weight, the branches under his feet kept swaying and seemed to break at any time, but Allendo stood firmly on the undulating treetops like a bird.

The situation in front of him shocked Elendo. It was just a noisy noise from the city gate, but now the entire Sea Breeze City is full of fires, dock areas, administrative districts, slums... more than ten fires. The city was completely in chaos, and many residents of Sea Breeze City looked at the burning fire in dismay, thinking that the enemy had already invaded the city.

After listening to Allendo’s simple description, Robin urged Ryan to escort him to the most central palace of the city, where Fernando’s royal family lived in Sea Breeze City. In fact, this palace was simply a small military fortress. Coupled with the thousands of warriors there, I believe everyone’s safety is not a problem. Even if you step back ten thousand steps, even if the rebels occupy the entire city, they can still leave through the teleportation magic circle there and destroy it by the way. Magic array, cut off the connection between the capital and here.

However, there is a big doubt in Ryan's heart. If the rebels can fully conquer Seawind City in such a short period of time, then their strength will be very strong, why should fire everywhere destroy the city?It is better to directly control the vitals of the entire city, and it is more cost-effective to take over.

Even if the commander of the rebel army is a guy who likes to destroy, his only hobby is destruction, and he ordered the city to be set on fire. Then he can capture the city so quickly, how can he have tens of thousands of troops under him, so many rebels? Where is it hidden during the day?Could it be possible that all the soldiers of Seawind City have rebelled?

Ryan is no longer a simple boy who just left his hometown. After experiencing two tragic battles in Thor Fortress and Imperial Capital, Ryan already has a lot of experience in the military. He saves others by himself and thinks that the rebels no matter what There shouldn't be fires everywhere in the city. The only explanation is that the rebels did not enter the city at all. It was their internal response in Sea Breeze City that set the fire.

After figuring this out, Ryan had a decision on his face. He looked around and saw that not only his companions were already there, but even the players under Oz were almost here. He thought a little bit. , Opened his mouth and said to Oz: "Oz, I need your support."

Without thinking about it, Oz replied, "No problem, Ryan. My men, including me, are all under your command now. Give orders, Ryan, just like before."

Ryan nodded slightly. The situation was urgent. He didn't intend to be humbly anymore, and directly issued the order: "The focus of the rebel attack is undoubtedly the only gate of Seawind City, and our task is to rush there as soon as possible and assist in the defense. The army drove the rebels out."

"Colin, you take 5 people to be responsible for the safety of the left side of the queue."

"Head, yes, head!" Colin replied loudly with his hands close to his thighs.

"Thomas, you take 5 people responsible for the safety on the right."

Thomas' actions and answers were exactly the same as Colin's. They hadn't known how many times they had practiced these rituals and etiquette in the army.

"Ellendor, after you and Flanner break up, it's enough to take 5 people."

Ellendor didn't have the kind of Lin and Thomas, he just nodded slightly.

"Oz, you are most familiar with this place. I believe you will always know the defenders over there. You will lead 10 mercenaries to the front."

"Yes, Captain!" Oz punched his chest hard.

"The rest and I are walking in the middle of the queue, Fanny, take care of Robin and Malt."

"Okay, Ryan."

After assigning personal tasks, Ryan pointed to the direction of the city gate with his hand and said: "Go, we may have losses, but there are some things that must be done by someone."

Ryan gave an order, and everyone set off according to their respective directions. Oz took his pair of steel axes from his men, struck each other hard, and let out a roar.On the other hand, Colin and Thomas took out their short bows and hand crossbows, and swiftly climbed up the roof along the walls of the houses on both sides of the street. Their task was to condescendingly monitor the surroundings and avoid being attacked by the enemy from both sides.

Raphael was wearing a black cloak, watching the commotion indifferently from the window. The room where Raphael was located was in an inconspicuous corner of the slum. There were no lights in the room, which saved him from being exposed to others. At the same time, you can secretly observe everything outside.

As the planner and commander of the entire operation tonight, Raphael did not directly participate in the operation.Originally, Raphael was not optimistic about this raid tonight, because Senat only gave 5,000 people.Although these soldiers have undergone certain military training, because Senat has been in exile before, the training intensity of these soldiers must be greatly reduced, and most of these soldiers are from Senat’s daughter Karina. Temporarily transferred from the mercenary group.

When Senat was a lord of the empire, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Fernando royal family, he used various methods to train his soldiers. The most common one was to draw out his soldiers to form one after another. Mercenary regiments, these mercenary regiments are usually the same as other mercenary regiments, but every one or two months, certain merchants will come to their door and ask them to come forward to complete certain tasks. The location of these tasks It is usually in a deserted and populated area. In fact, it is very convenient to go to Senat’s secret army camp. This allows Senat’s soldiers who exist as mercenary groups to gather in several places without causing suspicion. A brief military training in a secret barracks.

This kind of concealing and hiding training method avoids being discovered by others, but it is also difficult to train elite troops like Thor Fortress, but once Senat needs troops, he can use it all at once. You don't have to practice for a few more months like recruiting farmers.

It’s just that, when performing major military missions, such as the night attack on Seawind City, these mercenaries are temporary troops. They belong to different mercenary groups. There is no tacit understanding between them. Raphael had to They arranged according to the mercenary group they belonged to, such as letting Andy who belonged to the lightning mercenary group take charge of the city gate.

In fact, in Raphael's heart, he did not approve of this attack, but he received a strict order from Senat and had to force this night attack.In Raphael's view, his master Senat has acted a little too confidently recently.

Indeed, in the previous several adventures, Senat greatly expanded his sphere of influence, but the expansion of the territory has brought about the hidden danger of serious shortage of troops. This time is a good time to recuperate, and the emperors of the north have fallen into contact with the orcs. In the war, there was no way to deal with the situation in the south, and the lords of the south were no opponents of Senat.

It is a pity that Senat is going to continue to expand eastward, take down the sea breeze city, and completely cut off the imperial capital's control of the south. At the same time, he can also go north through this port city to the sunrise city under the control of the orcs for trade. This is basically equivalent to monopolizing the north and south The profit of large-scale trade can no longer be described objectively. It is faster than robbery.

After Senator returned to the south, Raphael's status fell unknowingly. Most of his strength was taken away by Senator with a single word. Only the killer organization Soul Eater was left, and a large number of them were created. Revenant, this is a force that cannot be on the stage at all. Even if Raphael wants to hand it over, Senat will not allow it, because the latter needs to maintain a positive image in people’s hearts. If his people know, this The ruler is connected with 40% of assassinations and kidnappings on the mainland, and it is estimated that riots will occur immediately.

Moreover, Susan never responded after going out to assassinate Ryan.There is a magical mark deep in Susan's soul. As its owner, Raphael can have some kind of contact with Susan at any time and anywhere.But Susan never returned, no matter how Raphael contacted, she couldn't feel Susan's existence, which gave Raphael an ominous premonition.
