Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

The army station of the Thremis family, commanding Edward Thremis's tent.

The younger brother of the lord of the Thremis family, Edward Thremis was sitting on a marching chair, listening to his scout captain's report.

"Sir, we found that there are a lot of signs of army movement in the Emilio family territory. The number is about 1,000 to 1,200. However, they just firmly guarded the main roads on the border and did not intend to march." The scout captain knelt on the ground and said: "In addition, the scouts we released have searched carefully within 50 kilometers nearby, but found a few farmers' shadows, but no traces of the enemy's troops."

"Oh, that's weird. What was Adams' idea?" Edward twisted his beard and whispered: "I thought he would be a soldier. I didn't expect our army to progress so smoothly, without encountering Sa Lanar’s main force."

"Report! Emergency military situation!" A guard's cry came from outside the big tent. Edward raised his eyebrows and said, "Come in."

The curtain of the big tent was lifted, and two of Edward's guards walked in with a scout covered in blood. The scout's injuries were so serious that he couldn't even stand. After Edward's guard released his hand, The scout collapsed softly on the ground, and within a short while, the blanket inside the big tent was dyed red.

An Edward’s guard standing next to him quickly poured a large glass of strong alcohol and helped the scout to pour him. Under the stimulation of the strong alcohol, the scout's spirit became excited, and he let the military doctor He bandaged himself and said to the commander in excitement: "My lord, I have found the position of the opponent's main force, I have found it."

"Ah!" Edward got up from his chair with a sigh of relief. He came to the front of the scout a few steps and asked repeatedly: "Where? Where?"

"My lord, we were in a team of six people who were instructed to detour back to the enemy's flank. Unexpectedly, after traveling about 45 kilometers, we encountered a large number of the opponent's army. Under the opponent's pursuit, the only six of us were me..." The scout told the truth: "This army is escorting a large number of old people, women, and children. It should move all the entire villages. According to the direction of their march, it should be the Scarlet Rose Castle where the Saranal family is located."

"Oh, Crimson Rose Castle?" Edward said the name gently, pacing slowly in the big tent with his hands on his back, carefully thinking about the accuracy of this information and the other party's plan.About five minutes later, Edward clapped his hands lightly and said in a determined tone: "That's right, it must be so."

After Edward finished speaking, his face was serious and issued an order: "Call all officers to a meeting immediately."

Edward gave an order, and the long horn sounded throughout the barracks. A dozen officers-like people walked out of their camps and walked quickly towards the coach’s tent.The horn only sounded for a few minutes, and everyone was there. They stood quietly on both sides, waiting for their commander to give orders.

"According to the information brought back by the scouts and my personal inference, I think that the main force of the Saranal family should be shrinking towards Crimson Rose Castle." Edward said straightforwardly the purpose of summoning everyone: "This is the main It was because our army attacked quickly and did not give the opponent too much preparation time, so that several of their strongholds were quickly knocked down by us. In this case, it is normal for the guy Adams to concentrate his forces on the family station. thing."

"The Crimson Rose Castle also has a history of almost 200 years. Its terrain is not under the Iron Fist Castle. It can completely block our army's offensive with relatively few troops. And the most troublesome thing is that the Crimson Rose Castle is backed by Valor. In the mountains, they can put a large number of civilians there, and if our army wants to capture these slaves, they can only destroy the Crimson Rose Castle."

"Our army is going deep alone. Although we have an advantage in our military strength and we have added a lot of food to the other strongholds, we don’t have a lot of time, because when we were fighting with the Saranal family, Emilio The family is quickly regaining its strength, and we must establish the victory before they intervene, otherwise the best chance in these 200 years will be lost by us!"

"My lord, please give orders!" The dozen or so officers shouted in unison: "Our army will win, and the glory of the Seremis family will be created by us!"

"Okay!" Edward was very happy when he saw his subordinates' fighting spirit. He believed that even if the enemy had any conspiracy, he could be calmed down by the morale of the army, so Edward gave the order: "Elay!"

"Yes!" As Edward's nephew, Elitheremis, the third in line heir to the Theremis family, was very happy in his heart. He didn't expect that he was sent out first, but his face was full of excitement. But it solidified in the next second, because Edward's order to him was: "You lead the 2000 army to garrison the border of the Emilio family, and you will not attack without permission."

"Huh?" Eli is a little reluctant. In contrast, he prefers to face the battlefield in person. Although he has enjoyed a life of rich clothes and food since he was a child, Eli still yearns for life in the military camp very much. He is eager to use a sword. And the horseshoe reproduced the glory of the ancestors, and therefore became the commander of the commander-in-chief.

"Don't underestimate this!" Edward said earnestly: "What I am most worried about is that the Emilio family will give us a knife in the back. As long as there is no interference from others, we have a great chance of winning this war. In order to obtain one In the stable rear, your father personally sits in the family residence and raises supplies for us, and I also hope that you can firmly watch behind us so that we can fight without distraction."

Although Eli was a little reluctant, he still obeyed the soldier's vocation and accepted this order, and Edward's second and final order was to order the entire army to set off immediately and march towards Crimson Rose Castle.

The two armies soon parted ways. Edward looked at his nephew who was going away, and said silently to himself in his heart: "We will definitely win, for sure. However, in case something accident happens, Eli, my nephew, you It is the hope of our family's future."

Saranal family residence, Crimson Rose Castle, Adams' study.

"Mr. Fabia, please see, our army is almost assembled." Adams pointed to a map on the table and said to Ryan: "And Edward's army has also arrived here. It is estimated that we will attack us tomorrow. ."

Ryan took a close look at this exquisitely crafted map, nodded slightly, and Adela who was beside him respectfully said: "Master, according to our prior plan, Sister Vivian’s 800 The soldiers have been hidden in the Crimson Rose Castle. In order to ensure that nothing is lost, all insiders will be placed under house arrest until the end of the war."

Ryan really didn’t like Adela calling his own master, but he also knew that his relationship with Adela was not as close as Vivienne. At least he couldn’t tell Adela about his true identity for the time being, so Ryan also Reluctantly accepted this title.

"Well, I just went to take a look. The soldiers are all in a good mood. Although they had a arduous roundabout in the Valor Mountains, after two days of rest, their physical strength has almost recovered, and Moses and the others I work hard and continue to boost morale. After all, they will have a better life only if we win." Vivian smiled and said to Ryan: "Now it's up to when the other party comes over."

When Vivian said this, a thought suddenly popped up in his head, so she opened her mouth and said, "Fabia, do you think we should make a sneak attack tonight, maybe there will be great gains."

Ryan was also very tempted by Vivienne’s proposal, but Adela rejected Vivienne’s proposal in one bite: "No, Sister Vivienne’s idea is very good, but it’s difficult to achieve practical results. Our army went there. Fewer people do not work well, and it’s difficult to guarantee privacy if too many people go. Even if the owner is the owner, there are more than 10,000 people from the other party. Even if thousands of people are lost, it is meaningless to the overall situation. The layout leaked out early."

Ryan agreed with Adela’s analysis very much. He nodded and stopped Tivivian’s suggestion. After taking a sip of water, Ryan asked Adela again: "How much is our strength? I. What you want is the one that can fight, and those who are old, weak, sick and disabled have to be excluded."

"Well, the Saranal family has gathered more than 5,000 elites. They usually have undergone military training, and our family members have been specially arranged to live in the castle. Although the conditions are a little worse, it is enough for them Fighting forever, unless they don’t even have the most basic humanity.” Adela replied without even thinking about it: “Plus the original soldiers in the family, there are a total of 6000 people, and sister Vivian is like this. There are 800 people on the side, and our two coalition forces are less than 7,000."

Ryan knew that this was the advantage of the Saranal family’s large population. Even if the army was wiped out, it could quickly regain its vitality. In contrast, the Emilio family had the strongest fighting force, but once that army was destroyed It's too difficult to regain strength after being defeated.

"What about the enemies? How many do they have?" Vivian asked, "I hope that is not too outrageous."

"We can't get too close to the opponent's main force. We can only infer from a distance, plus the inspection of the enemy's abandoned barracks. It is initially estimated that the Seremis army will be around 10,000 to 12,000." Della opened his mouth and answered immediately.

Ryan laughed, and he confidently said: "It sounds like there is a big gap in the number of people, but tomorrow's battle, this gap is not irreparable. The Royal Knights can defeat Senatan's 30,000 elite with a mere 5,000 people, I think, I can always defeat 10,000 with 7,000 people?"
