Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 1162 Funeral

Ryan looked sadly at the guard next to him slowly shoveling the soil with a spade, slowly covering the stone pot of the tomb, he gently threw a tattered battle axe down, allowing the soil to slowly Bury everything.This is the funeral of Ryan's good friend Oz, and it is also the first time Ryan has seen his relatives and friends off in his life. The sadness in his heart is naturally hard to conceal.

After the guards around him filled the whole tomb, Ryan held up his grief and raised his head, staring at the thousands of tombs, with an unspeakable feeling in his heart.The defensive battle of the Iron Fist Castle just ended yesterday. Less than one-third of the dead were able to be identified, but this has resulted in nearly 4000 tombs, which also means that Cassano was in this war this time. What a painful price paid.

Although the Cassano defenders defeated at least a million undead in the six-day bloody battle, the elite guards and wind shooters lost more than 30% of the battle. This is definitely a shocking price. The ordinary soldiers without the protection of Mithril armor and the Cassanos who were dying to join the war to protect their homeland lost more. It can be said that although the Cassanos won this battle, it was a tragic victory.

Ryan stood on the hillside, looking down at the dense tombs all over the hillside. He bent down and bowed a deep salute. Although his strength had reached the realm of legend, Ryan did not think he was better than others in the face of life. People are noble. As the overlord of Cassano, he didn't protect his people in the first time, and made so many people pay the price of their lives, which made Ryan's heart a bit painful.

Vivienne, Adela, Elendo and others also bowed deeply to Ryan, thanking these war dead for their efforts and price to protect Cassano and protect their homes. The entire cemetery in the southern suburbs of Iron Fist Castle was silent, with only a slight wind passing through the air, like the gratifying laughter of the people who passed away.

Ryan slowly straightened his waist after ten minutes of silence. He turned around and said to Vivienne and Adela in front of him: "Put this place full of flowers, so that the heroes will not be lonely in the future."

"Heroes?" Vivienne and Adela just froze for a moment, and immediately understood what Ryan meant. They said in unison: "Yes, they are heroes, they are our Cassano heroes."

Ryan nodded and continued to command: "The aftermath should be handled quickly. They are gone, but their family is still there. They must be properly arranged. Well, if there are no special circumstances in the coming-of-age ceremony of the Cassano in the future, Let it all be held here, so that people from generation to generation will remember that their happy life today is the price of their lives paid by these heroes."

"Well, I can't remember too much for a while. I have something I didn't expect, you can figure it out." Ryan waved his hand lonely, turned and left slowly, he slowly followed the hillside path Descending, before passing the tomb of Oz, he stopped again, and when Elendo came to him behind him, Ryan sighed heavily.

Elendo patted Ryan’s shoulder a few times for comfort, then took a bunch of flowers, leaned over and placed it on Oz’s grave. After doing all this, Elendo stood up straight. Said to Ryan: "Let's go, they don't have complete things, we still need to continue working hard."

"You're right, we don't have time to cry now, because the Undead Legion is still raging on the mainland." Ryan finished this sentence gently, and left without looking back.

Soon, Ryan and his party returned to the waiting carriage at the foot of the mountain. Ryan sat in the carriage of the carriage. There was already a man with the appearance of an adjutant waiting. Ryan poured himself a glass of water and drank it. He asked, "How is it, Androkos and Melinda have not been able to restore the teleportation magic circle with the capital?"

"Yes, Lord Lord!" The adjutant replied, "According to the news that came 30 minutes ago, Androcos Magister has thoroughly checked the entire teleportation magic circle and confirmed that there is no problem, but the connection with the Imperial Capital It has never recovered, so the Androcos Magister thinks this should be the same as Cassano's experience some time ago."

Ryan knew that this teleportation magic circle had failed a few days ago. The reason should be that the undead army that attacked Iron Fist Castle used some secret method to interfere with its operation, but now the undead army has almost been wiped out, but this teleportation The magic circle still cannot achieve its own effects. Could the imperial capital also suffer the same experience as Cassano, or is it simply that the main force of the real undead army has launched a full-scale attack on the imperial capital?

These issues made Ryan feel a headache. He felt that he should believe in the strength of the Imperial Capital. With the Royal Knights, the Imperial Magic Guild, and the Church of Light, how could the Undead Army break through the walls of the Imperial Capital, but when he thought of himself yesterday The iron fist castle that was once thought to be impenetrable almost fell, and Ryan's heart was indescribably anxious.

"How much do we have in the army now?" Ryan asked this question. Although he was already mentally prepared and knew that he would not get an exciting news, the data reported by the adjutant still frustrated him.

"There are less than 2,000 guards who can continue to fight, and most of them are in a weak state, and they can’t exert their combat effectiveness at all. If they can rest for more than ten days, then the current more than 1,000 wounded can return to the army. Go in. There are still 3,000 popular shooters who can continue to fight, but unfortunately, they continue to have no wounded, and they must also be given a short rest period..."

The adjutant’s words were not finally finished, because Ryan waved his hand to interrupt his report. Cassano’s three elite troops are now able to continue to fight less than 5,000 people, and all of them are exhausted and their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. There are more than 10,000. If this kind of force is really obtained in the imperial capital, it will be spent in about an hour.

"If the order continues, the armies should hurry up and rest. If there are no accidents, there will be no military actions within ten days. In addition, the training of the reserve army must be accelerated to fill the army's vacancies as soon as possible. The three elite troops have the priority to choose." Having said this, Ryan thought for a while and added: "Whether humans, orcs, dwarves or elves, as long as they voluntarily join Cassano and are willing to obey the laws here, they must be treated equally and not discriminate. Also, in organizing people When I returned to Cassano, I announced the news that I will conduct another selection of magic apprentices in ten days. This time I will officially expand Barbara’s magic army. It must be organized to reach the guards and the wind shooters. 5000 people like that."

"Yes, Lord Lord!" After Ryan signed the order, the adjutant saluted and quickly left the carriage.Ryan was the only one left in the carriage. He tapped a few lightly on the wall, and the carriage slowly began to move. Ryan leaned his upper body on the carriage and couldn't help sighing again.

After a lot of experience, Ryan is no longer the political rookie before, especially this trip to Dragon Island. Although Ryan’s power has not been advanced, it has made Ryan more proficient in power. , And don't know if it was corroded by the dark atmosphere, Ryan suddenly found that he was not very resistant to the intrigue, but began to try to apply some of the learned skills to practice.

For example, this time back to Cassano, although Cassano’s subordinates did not say anything, Ryan clearly grasped the thoughts of the officials who have grown up here for generations. Ryan believed that if he desperately proposed to lead the card Sano’s surplus power assists the imperial capital, and there will definitely be various complaints below, and it will definitely affect the morale of the entire Cassano.Of course, it’s not that these people don’t care about the overall situation. This is only related to the selfish nature of human beings. After all, Cassano has lost a lot now, and if he desperately supports the imperial capital, this will inevitably be a poor economy and population in Cassano itself. On the basis of a heavy slash, I am afraid that after hundreds of years of vitality injury, I will never want to turn over.

"The top priority is to get in touch with the imperial capital. Now that the information is unclear, our army can't act rashly." Ryan closed his eyes and thought silently.If it was before, Ryan would definitely not give clear instructions so quickly, he would probably hesitate, or go to the imperial capital desperately, even if nothing happened, in order to seek peace of mind.But now, Ryan has issued an order to rest and rehabilitate at the first time. This is not so much for the soldiers who survived the hard fight to have a good rest, but rather to calm the hearts of the entire Cassano.

"What is the idea of ​​the Undead Army? Judging from the current situation, it must be a partial division who attacked Cassano, otherwise Cassano will not be able to hold on for that long. Can it be said that they are really holding us back? Attacking the imperial capital? That is really stupid. Victor’s forbidden curse is enough to reach tens of millions of undead. The arrival of the angels in Orlando is the biggest killer of the undead. Any commander with normal thinking will not have absolute certainty. Under the circumstances, launch a war without superiority."

Ryan rejected his own ideas one by one in his heart: "It's not the imperial capital. I dare say that if the imperial capital is attacked, it will definitely only be a containment attack. Mochizuki City in the south? Fuliya has returned to Demonyue City, and from there you can directly connect with Mochizuki City. You can give me an answer in the afternoon, right? As for the free paradise? There is no value there. Can't it be said that this group of undead has turned into a businessman?"

Thinking hard makes Ryan start to feel tired. After all, he hasn't really gotten a rest since he attacked Seck City. Especially when fighting against the darkness in his body, he can't be negligent, otherwise Ryan would have fallen a long time ago. Became the Dark Archmage, and after regaining his health, it was the first time to take the flying dragon back to Cassano. After the war ended yesterday, Ryan, Elendo and others searched the entire Cassano area for possible hiding. The place of the undead to prevent any counterattacks.

Following the rhythmic movement of the carriage, Ryan gradually fell asleep.
