Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

"Beep~" The long horn sound floated above the iron fist castle, and tens of thousands of warriors shook hands with their weapons, staring at the undead creatures that flooded down the city like a tide. Their hearts were firm and their hearts were calm. Because behind these Cassano fighters is their homeland, their family lives here, "Immortality! Never retreat!" This is the only thought in the minds of these Cassano fighters.

About 10 days ago, the Cassano scout troops stationed on the west side of the Valen Mountains found signs of the Undead Legion. When the news reached the Iron Fist Castle, Adela, the top military commander staying here, immediately issued the order and started. The line of fire was mobilized. On the one hand, she organized troops to snipe the invasion of the undead, and on the other hand, she moved a large number of civilians to safety.All this has been planned in detail for a long time, so there are not too many major problems in the implementation. After paying some price, Adela led 100,000 Cassano soldiers and civilians to defend the Iron Fist Castle, waiting for reinforcements from the imperial capital. .

In the original plan, only 60,000 people would guard the Iron Fist Castle, 30,000 regular Cassano fighters, and 30,000 strong Cassano youths.But to everyone’s surprise, when the news of the undead invasion came, many Cassanos spontaneously took up weapons and joined the ranks of resisting the invaders. Many of them had just joined Cassano not long ago. The new residents, under the effect of the decree issued by Ryan before, they have successfully acquired a new identity and are full of visions for a better life in the future, so when someone wants to invade here and destroy their lives, these People bravely took up weapons and chose to resist to the death.

Of course, the real reason for supporting these people to fight bravely is the lord of Cassano, Ryan, the youngest forbidden spell mage in human history. The guy with good deeds has counted all the achievements of Ryan since he became the master of Cassano and found him. He has never failed. No matter how many powerful enemies there are in front of this young legendary mage, they will eventually be annihilated in the billowing flames under his hands. This glorious miracle inspires everyone to fight because they are convinced that no matter what How dangerous the situation is, as long as Ryan comes back, everything will be over.

"The soldiers of the Guards are ready to block these damn bones." Cassano's top military commander, Adela, standing on the castle of Iron Fist Castle, in a uniform, gave orders aloud.

"Huh!" There was a uniform movement on the city wall, which was indescribably pleasing to the eyes. The soldiers of the Cassano Guard Corps who were ordered to guard the front line were carefully selected and strictly trained, and Having accepted the test of blood and fire many times, their combat experience is now very rich. Although their bodies are abnormally exhausted, after hearing the command of the commander, these steadfast fighters can still raise their shields neatly. A strong shield wall was formed to block the climbing of undead soldiers under the city.

The attack of the undead army is completely different from the attack of any human army. They have no logistical supplies and do not need various siege equipment. For these mobile bones, they themselves are the best use. Tool of.When the undead army started attacking Cassano’s Iron Fist Castle on the first day, they could not get past the sky full of fire oil and boulders 20 meters away from the city wall, but they arrived in the morning of the third day. Under the city wall, and today, after besieging the Iron Fist Castle for six consecutive days, the undead warriors who died under the Iron Fist Castle have used their bodies to pile up a thick flash of bones, and the undead who continue to attack behind The soldiers can easily rush to the head of the city just by following the bones of the "predecessors".

Adela looked at the boundless "sea of ​​bones" and couldn't help sighing in her heart. They still underestimated the momentum of these bones before. They thought that the reserves of fire oil and boulders were enough, but they didn't expect In the defensive battle of strong overload, it only took two short days.Fortunately, Adela adopted the rotation system of soldiers. In addition to leaving the 10,000 reserve team, the remaining 90,000 people were divided into three groups. One group was defensive wall, the other group was healed and recovered, and the other group rested under the wall. , And rotate once a day.However, by the fourth day of the implementation of this rotation system, it had become two exchanges a day. Starting this morning, Adela had to make adjustments again, adding the remaining 50,000 soldiers to the reserve team. For two groups, in order to cope with the manpower shortage due to the huge loss of soldiers.

Adela thought of the current unfavorable situation in her heart, but she did not show any signs on the surface. Seeing that a large number of undead warriors had rushed up the "Bone Avenue", she shouted: "That's it, giant Hammer warriors, attack and crush these bastards!"

"Kill!" The sound of one after another resounded throughout the Iron Fist Castle. The strong men with huge hammers hiding behind the shield wall of the Guards soldiers raised their weapons and smashed them at the undead warriors who rushed up. In the past, the appearance of these hammers was different. Many of them were just a large iron piece tied to a thick wooden stick with a rope. But such a simple and crude weapon is very effective for undead warriors. Often with such a hammer down, a bone warrior would be smashed to pieces, completely losing combat effectiveness, and it was much more effective than cutting off their hands and feet with a sharp sword or shooting arrows into their bodies.

Among these warriors with huge hammers, there are several dwarves and hundreds of meters of orcs. Their power is much greater than their human comrades in arms. Not only does the weapons in their hands appear to be heavier, they are often so simple to lift them up. After hitting it, he directly beat many undead warriors in front of him to their limbs and flew everywhere, immediately alleviating the pressure on his comrades.

These dwarves were craftsmen brought by the dwarf king Reynolds. They were only helping Cassano to forge weapons, but when the Undead Army arrived, these dwarves all took up their weapons and stepped onto the warriors.As for the orcs, they are more like a fish in water, because for these green-skinned creatures, their life is only battle and honor. After naturalizing Cassano, they desperately think that they can no longer be like a warrior. The battle continued like that. I didn’t expect that it didn’t take long before the Undead Army launched the battle to invade Cassano. This made the hearts of these orcs excited, and naturally they did not hesitate to pick up all kinds of weapons they could find. To the enemy.

The battle situation is so monotonous. The soldiers of the Guards first blocked the attack of the undead with their shields, and then the comrades holding heavy weapons behind them smashed the undeads. Then came the second wave of offensive and the third wave of offensive... These undead were originally. A crudely manufactured product. The lich who made them summoned all the dead creatures buried deep in the ground along the way with undead magic. It was originally intended to take advantage of their numbers. Of course, it is impossible to use a series of secret methods like the three druid masters. The ritual is corrupted and degenerated, so the fighting power of these undead warriors is far less than when they were alive. They have no weapons or only the simplest bone weapons in their hands. Of course, it is difficult to cause too much threat to Cassano's defenders.

But this does not mean that this large number of undead invaders are not lethal. Their number is too large. During the six days of attacking Iron Fist Castle, at least 15 million undead creatures were sent by their lich master. The battlefield was lost, and almost all of them were destroyed under the walls of Iron Fist Castle, otherwise there would be no bone hills piled up there.

The most direct consequence of such a large number of dead souls is that the fatigue of Cassano's defenders soars.A strong warrior will never feel uncomfortable when he lifts the hammer once and hits it. However, when he swings it 100 times in a row, he naturally feels the exhaustion of his physical strength. If he swings it continuously for 1,000 times. , 10,000 times... Then the toughest fighter will feel tired and hungry. If there is a mistake in these 1,000 or 10,000 swings, he will accidentally be harmed by undead creatures, even if only one A small wound will also double his energy loss. Eventually, he will lose his combat effectiveness due to exhaustion. He can only be slaughtered by the enemy. This is the history of countless famous elite troops fighting for all disadvantages, but in the end The only reason they were swallowed up by the invading undead army of the same time was that they were not killed, but were exhausted in despair.

Now Adela is also facing such a dilemma. The 100,000 soldiers in her hand have only 60,000, but there is no news about the reinforcements from the imperial capital. Last night, when she and Vivian changed their duties, it was too much. Tired and unable to sleep, I heard many bad rumors when visiting the city, especially the Iron Fist Castle has been besieged for 6 days, but Cassano’s overlord Ryan never showed up. This has left many choices. The Cassano people were shaken in their hearts. If the undead had surrounded the entire city, and they knew that once the undead entered the city, it would be a dead end, perhaps the riot had already occurred.

Arad was thinking about countermeasures anxiously in his heart, but his eyes were carefully observing the signs of undead positions in the distance.According to human records over the years and observations during this period, Adela can already be sure of the general pattern of the undead army. The undead creatures that are summoned are naturally controlled by the lich that directly summons them. Each lich Different mana, the number of armies you can control is different, and every time the Undead Legion attacks Iron Fist Castle, only one Lich leads the attack. When the Lich’s forces are exhausted, Only then was another lich led the team to make up, and this short free time was also a rare rest time for Cassano's defenders.

It’s not that Adela never thought of leading a team of the most elite troops to raid the lich responsible for command. 200 years ago, Fernando I used this method to successfully defeat the undead army at that time, but now the lich outside the Iron Fist Castle is surrounded by There are all kinds of guards, some are assembled huge monsters, some are men with pale faces in tuxedos, and some liches come up and simply spread a radius of hundreds of meters around themselves. The overlapping bone traps, if Adela dared to venture into it, there would be no return.
