Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

A dull drum sound came from the ground, and a frightened prairie goshawk made a clear and sharp howling, flapping its wings vigorously, breaking through the thick clouds and flying away, and under it was the endless On the prairie, several huge phalanxes are slowly advancing.

The dull drum sound came from the Thunder Beast in the center of the phalanx. Each Thunder Beast had a huge basket-like thing on its back. There was a giant war drum in the middle, and two orcs stood on one side. , Struck the drum head hard.And around them, countless orc warriors stepped forward following this drum, forming a rhythmic sound of trampling the ground.

After three months of silence, the orc bear clan finally began to move south. Before that, the beast king finally integrated the power of all the orc clans by force, and sent all the disobedient personnel to the Star Islands by sea.In the end, when the bear clan's soldiers were heading south, the Beast Emperor already had 400,000 warriors in his hands. Naturally, this number was no better than the one more than 4 years ago, but this time, the orc army There is no second voice in the middle, but the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

When the Beast King returned to the south, Alexandra, the chief of the Black Hawk clan of the orcs, fled to the control area of ​​the imperial capital with a few people, which also made humans sufficiently vigilant for the coming second attack of the orcs. It’s just that everyone didn’t expect that the orcs were so calm. Three months after they regained the new city of Thor’s fortress, they formally marched into the control area of ​​the imperial capital. This is obviously not good news, because the longer the orcs are delayed, then they The offensive that is about to be launched will be fiercer.

When the main force of the orcs was 50 kilometers away from the northern third fort of the northern defense line of the imperial capital, the highest commander of the northern three fort of the imperial capital, the commander of the first legion of the imperial capital, Xia Ruike, had already learned the news. The officers stayed in their military accounts, using the sand table to study countermeasures, and beside him stood an old orc impressively, but Alexandra who fled to the control area of ​​the imperial capital.

Because humans and orcs are completely different in appearance, it is impossible for both parties to spy on the other's hinterland. Therefore, Alexandra who fled to the imperial capital became an excellent guide, and Alexandra naturally hoped that humans could overcome The Beast King avenged his tribe, of course, knowing everything is endless.

Sharek stood in the middle of the sand table and watched his staff keep busy. The North Three Forts would release more than 1,000 scouts every day. So many people would naturally bring back massive amounts of information, and Sharek’s staff officers All that needs to be done is to sort them out and then show them on the sand table.

Seeing the model representing the orc army slowly approaching the Three Forts in the North, Sharek frowned slightly. The Imperial Capital relied on the Three Forts to build the entire northern defense line. As the highest commander of the entire defense line, Sharek can command. The force is as much as 200,000, but the number of orcs on the opposite side is at least between 350,000 and 450,000, which is almost twice that of the imperial capital army. According to the calculation method of 5 human fighters against 1 orc, Sharek This is equivalent to facing 2 million enemy troops.

According to Alexandra’s description, this time the Beast King went south again. It was originally planned for a long time, and spent a lot of time staying in the Thor Fortress. It should be to integrate the internal strength of the orcs. Now the Beast King is heading north. Three Forts, I believe that there will be no internal friction within the orcs similar to the time of the Thor Fortress battle.The North Three Forts are just temporary fortresses built. Their main material is wood, not solid stones like Thor's fortress, and the defense effect is naturally greatly reduced.Under the circumstances, Xia Ruike is not optimistic about the battle that is about to break out.

Looking at the entire sand table, there is still no trace of the imperial capital reinforcements, but the soldier model representing the orc army is placed at the far north. Sharek can't help sighing, although it has been a few months ago. Knowing the news of the return of the Beast Emperor, the imperial capital still couldn't concentrate its strength, because Senat's army launched a fierce attack on the southern defense line of the imperial capital almost at the same time.

The emperor has a standing force of 1 million, but the only one who can really come in handy is only 600,000 soldiers in ten official regiments, and the rest are the reserve army and garrison.Sharek was ordered to garrison the Three Forts in the north, and naturally brought all the soldiers of the First Army.After learning the accurate news of the return of the Beast King, Orlando urgently transferred an elite army and a reserve army one month later, bringing the total strength of the entire northern defense line to 200,000. This number is difficult to increase. After all, The southern front was also very exhausted. Senat’s army dragged the imperial capital’s nearly 300,000 troops in the small town of Mori, and then eliminated an elite army guarding the imperial capital, and expedition to the Clay’s Jonas army. In addition to the garrison troops defending the area under the rule of the imperial capital, Orlando's forces are also stretched, and I am afraid it will be difficult to deploy more soldiers to Sharek.

It's not that Xia Ruike doesn't know these things. In fact, he can figure out how many people the Orlando General can send to him without asking at all. Based on the travel time of the messengers he sent out, he can also roughly calculate those few reinforcements to the north. Sanbao's time, and these can't alleviate the pressure in Xia Ruike's heart.

Sharek was under a lot of pressure. This was not because he was timid. In the past few years, many officers in the Imperial Capital have been desperately learning the language of the orcs, understanding the history and combat style of the orcs, and Sharek is no exception.After countless war games, Sharek and the others did not find any particularly effective methods. The only consensus was to use superior forces for attrition, or use a large number of magicians for indiscriminate bombing.These are not realistic for the current northern defense line.There is no effective plan to deal with the enemy, this is the reason for the great pressure of Xia Ruike.

"Legal Commander, the latest information." The adjutant who walked quickly thought about Sharek's thoughts. The adjutant came to Sharek's side in a few steps. After paying a military salute, he pulled out a thin sheet from the intelligence folder in his hand. Thin letter paper, read quickly: "The information just received, the Jonas Legion has sent 10,000 soldiers to support us quickly, the messenger said that these 10,000 are all shooters, led by Colin and Thomas, they Along the way, there will be constant changes of horses, and they will arrive between midnight today and early tomorrow morning. The follow-up troops of the Jonas Legion will also arrive in the next three days."

After hearing the news, Xia Ruike couldn't help smiling in his heart. The First Army and the Jonas Army have always had a deep conflict. After all, the First Army has always been the strongest army in the imperial capital except the Royal Knights. After drawing on stage, he vigorously supported Jonas, giving priority to both manpower and material resources, so that Jonas's third legion quickly caught up with Sharek's first legion, and even worse.

On the bright side, neither Sharek nor Jonas could express anything, but the fighters of the two legions did not fight in their backs. Fighting in the bar is naturally commonplace. Sharek’s subordinates are relatively strong. After all, they have always Both are the strongest forces in the imperial capital, while the Jonas Legion is unusually united. Therefore, the two sides have been fighting constantly, and it is difficult for anyone to completely gain the upper hand.Such small frictions will not affect the overall situation, but will stimulate the sense of competition between the two legions. Therefore, although the senior leaders are very clear, they pretend not to know.

What Sharek never expected was that at this time Jonas sent out reinforcements to himself without reservation, which moved him very much, and at the same time, in Sharek's heart, he was also a little surprised.According to the distance, the Three Forts in the north where Sharek is stationed is of course closer to the capital of Fernando City, but the Jonas Legion stationed in the remote Jinghu Lake area is the first to arrive. This has to explain the importance of mobility. Jonas’s first legion will be downed by Jonas.

"It's good to give it to me! You two should be in a team, with a shield in the front and a sword in the back. If anyone dares to look back, just chop it off, and all the family members will be put to death! If anyone rushes up, there will be meat to eat at night. Women use it!" Kobe, the little bearded boss, shouted at a large group of cowering men in front of him.

Kobe is a captain of the Senate army. What he has to do now is to command his men as a supervising team to drive out the strong men in front of him to attack the position of the imperial capital army.Nowadays, Senat's troops have lost a lot of strength, but no matter how everyone persuaded, Senat refused to change his orders, and in desperation, he had to adopt this cannon fodder attack method.

These ragged guys are all ordinary people. After being captured by Senat's army, they forced to drive to the battlefield.Due to the fall of Freedom Paradise, the Senat army is extremely scarce. These cannon fodder units can only use the weapons of sword and shield warriors with two people, and the death rate is naturally extremely high.

In fact, Senat himself knows very well that this level of attack is already strong outside, but he has no choice.If the defection of Freedom Paradise made Senat’s army lose its logistical supplies, then the departure of Mochizuki City completely lost the possibility of Senat’s victory. Therefore, Senat could only make a desperate bet and pin his hopes on his chief magician. Safanas' body.

Senat knows the power behind Safanas very well. In order to get its support, Senat is willing to pay any price. Anyway, after he is defeated, he will lose his life. If he wins, it is nothing more than dividing the final result into a big piece. That's all, those things don't belong to him now, and he doesn't need to feel sorry for it.

According to Safanas’ request, Senat dispatched his own killer organization to eradicate several important druid tribes on the mainland, and commanded the army to storm the southern defense line of the imperial capital. Then Senat was in his own rule area. The thief who stole a copper coin, the beggar who was begging on the street, or the complainer who scolded the Senat regime behind his back were all arrested.Many of these guys will be sent to the Xingluo Islands by boat, and those who exceed their capacity will be escorted to the front line as cannon fodder troops to put pressure on the Imperial Capital army.
