Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 933 Expedition to the prairie (1)

Late at night the second day after Ryan took over his parents, 5,000 popular archers set off quietly under Ryan's leadership.No matter who it is, he will think that Ryan will reunite with his parents. After all, they have not seen each other for 5 or 6 years.So even if there is no appearance for a few days, it seems to be a very normal thing, and before arousing suspicion, Ryan and his popular shooter army can reach the first destination of this trip, a small town located on the southwest border of the Imperial Capital area. Pamela.

This is part of the secret plan of the Cassano Alliance of the Imperial Capital to expedition to the Clay tribe located in the western part of the South Tarun Prairie, to annihilate the Clay tribe’s army to the greatest extent and weaken the Clay tribe’s war potential as much as possible. Prepare for the next military operation of the Imperial Capital Cassano Alliance.

Today’s imperial capital and Cassano can be said to be facing the enemy on all sides. According to reliable sources, the Seck, Freedom Paradise, Mochizuki and other lords in the south of the mainland have formed alliances. In this case, this The so-called Southern Freedom Alliance has gained the strength to fight against the Imperial Capital Cassano Alliance.

Since the two sides are evenly matched, there is no way to end this confrontation in a short period of time, so if you want to break the deadlock, you can only start from other aspects.To the north of the imperial capital, the orcs occupied the original Thor Fortress and kept staring at the imperial capital. However, according to years of investigation, Orlando found that these orcs did not have many mobile units. It is difficult for the imperial capital to go north, but it is an army of orcs. Wanting to go south is not easy.

In the previous wars, the imperial capital’s army was able to block the orcs’ footsteps by defending itself by relying on temporary small fortresses. On the contrary, in the west of the imperial capital, those betrayers were the biggest variables, because the entire Clay warriors They are all excellent light cavalry. They are very mobile. They can run hundreds of kilometers a day and night. If the Imperial Capital Army moves northward, it is likely to be harassed by the Clay light cavalry and enter a passive situation. Eventually, it had to be defeated because of logistical supply problems.

Therefore, after repeated arguments, the Imperial Capital and the Cassano Alliance decided to launch a raid first to destroy the Clay camp near Jinghu Lake in the western part of the South Tarun Prairie, and drive them to farther places while doing their best. Capturing war horses, weakening the enemy and improving one's own mobility, for the current situation of the imperial capital and Cassano, this is almost the only good thing that is profitable and harmless.

In order for the expedition plan to be implemented smoothly and to prevent the expeditionary army from being harassed by the orcs or the Southern Freedom League when attacking the Clay clan, Archmage Victor and Falasi personally sit in the imperial capital because of Victor’s "Thunder God’s Fury" , Enough to frighten powerful magicians such as Blair and Catherine of the Freedom League.

On the Cassano side, the ranger lord Elendo is acting as the lord position, and the Iron Fist Castle Guards and the Death Scythe Magic Legion have all secretly entered a state of combat readiness, ready to face any enemies that come to provoke.And in addition to these forces on the bright side, Allendo's line of mercenary elf squadron, and line's martial arts teacher Caleb have also become a potential force to protect Cassano.

Ryan led his army of popular shooters all the way to the first destination with the fastest speed. On their scheduled route, they had long arranged for manpower to exchange horses and provide food for them. All this is I started preparations in the name of various caravans a few months ago. It can be said that everything is expected.

Of course, the only accident that happened was that Vivienne, the leader of the original Windrunner Legion, did not go with the team. For this, Ryan was quite self-blaming, but this can only be the case. Anyway, for this army, whether Dovivian, the commander of the army, had little influence on the overall combat effectiveness.

In fact, everyone knows that if Vivienne is not one of the most trustworthy people around Ryan, it would be impossible for her to be the leader of the Windrunner Legion, like the hunter Letoz of the Primal Silent Forest, or Roger, the original scout in Iron Fist Castle, was more competent than Vivian.

This is also the most distressing thing about Ryan at the moment. His strength has improved too fast, and his teammates who are approaching him can no longer keep up with him.At present, the only people beside Ryan who can compare with him are Elendo and Faras.The situation of Farath can only be regarded as a special case, and Allendo has followed Ryan from the beginning, and can be said to be the person who can most witness Ryan's growth.

This problem has always plagued Ryan, even if he is riding a horse without stopping.But by the evening of the fourth day, Ryan temporarily left it behind, because they came to the first destination town of the trip, Pamela.The small town of Pamela is located to the south of Giethoorn and to the northeast of Alpha City. It happens to be the boundary between the grassland in the north and the hilly area in the south.

Speaking of this small town, Ryan still has a vague impression. It was when he and Ellendor went on an adventure in Giethoorn. He once passed by here, but at the beginning there were only a few hundred people. It was barely a small town and depended on it. Live by trading with the Clay on the grassland.

Only this time, Ryan came back here, only to find that the whole Pamela had completely changed its appearance. In the past, there were only a few hundred permanent residents here. Even with the past caravan, there were no more than a thousand people. But now, the whole is desolate. The town has completely become a large barracks. This is the border between the imperial capital and the Clay clan. In order to resist the Clay clan's raids, the imperial capital has stationed a corps of 60,000 people here.

Of course, it is impossible for all these 60,000 people to live in a small town. Even if the Clays do not come to attack, just drinking water would be enough to make the logistics officer collapse.To be precise, the small town of Pamela is the headquarters of the Garrison Corps, and with this as the center, the entire Corps is distributed in an area of ​​20 kilometers.

Since everything was arranged properly, the arrival of Ryan and his party did not cause any misunderstanding, and the people who greeted Ryan at the edge of the town were also acquaintances. Most of them had fought side by side with Ryan. This also made Ryan quite surprised. He jumped. Coming off from Malaysia, the enthusiastic and leader, Jonas, the highest commander of the legion stationed here, gave a hug.

"Welcome, Ryan!" Jonas said with a laugh.

Ryan also said excitedly: "Hello, Jonas, we can fight together again!"

"Boss, I saw you again!" Colin and Thomas also rushed up, and they took one of Ryan's hand, and then shook it vigorously.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about what's going in! Ryan and the others have come from afar, so let them eat something to settle down." After all, Jonas has to consider the overall situation, so he resists the joy of reuniting with Ryan. Feeling said to his subordinates.

Now that the legion commander has ordered it, all the people below will naturally take action. The barracks, food, stables, etc. are all prepared long ago, so in just over 20 minutes, the entire Cassano's popular archer regiment was settled. When he came down, Ryan brought five captains, including Letoz and Roger, to a small reception dinner hosted by Jonas for him.

"Unexpectedly, I can fight side by side with you again, and this time I'm going to deal with those damn bastards!" Jonas smashed the water glass on the table and said bitterly: "It wasn't you who used to force me Pushed off the horse, I'm done!"

"I still can't forget Bart who died in my arms!" Ryan said normally, but his cold tone revealed how angry he was at the moment.

"Yes, this time we will let them pay their debts!" ​​Jonas poured himself a glass of water, then lifted it up and said, "For the dead comrades, for the future of the empire, cheers!"

Everyone here raised the water in their hands and drank it heroically. The expedition is just around the corner. Naturally, the entire army headed by Jonas will not get drunk and make mistakes. So even the officer who likes to drink the most on weekdays will do it tonight. Just drank plain water.

"Boss, we were ordered to change defense here a month and a half ago, and we are already preparing. Now, whether it is food or horses, we are ready to go anytime!" Colin said to Ryan.

Thomas was naturally unwilling to lag behind. He also said: "In order to deal with those cowards who can only run around, we have prepared enough arrows this time. The feather arrows shot by 20,000 archers are enough to cover the sun!"

Ryan smiled slightly and said, "No, no. It's not 20,000, but 25,000, because I also brought 5,000 archers who can shoot arrows."

"Yes, this time the imperial capital and Cassano will join forces, and they will definitely teach this group of Clays a lesson, a lesson that will never be remembered!" Jonas said angrily: "Wait tomorrow afternoon when the Royal Knights of General Orlando arrive, the day after tomorrow. We can set off early in the morning. This time, we must avenge our dead comrades in arms!"

The small reception banquet did not last long. After all, Ryan and the others came from afar and needed as much time as possible to rest. This kind of reception banquet was nothing more than to make the officers of the entire coalition familiar with each other, so as not to delay the military situation due to strangeness in the battle. .However, after the banquet, Jonas and Ryan unanimously took their men to patrol the barracks. Of course, they patrolled their own barracks.

Although the Jonas Army has as many as 80,000 people, this time it is only ready to dispatch 40,000 people, including 20,000 shooters and 20,000 square infantry. However, the additional logistics personnel are 20,000 people. After all, they need Fighting an enemy familiar with that land on a land you don’t know, once the logistics supplies are cut off, the consequences will be disastrous.

In addition to Jonas’s 40,000 regular army, there are 5,000 Ryan’s popular shooters. These shooters who have learned to ride horses through practice have become warriors of the Clay light cavalry. Their mobility can be The entire expeditionary force does many things, such as vigilance, raids...

However, the most powerful of the entire expeditionary force was the 5,000 holy knights under Orlando.This time the entire Royal Knights are dispatched. The 5,000 holy knights who have undergone rigorous training and have all been blessed by the gods of light will become a nightmare for the Clay people. The charge they launched must be focused even if they are gods. The devil also had to avoid its edge.
