At noon, Ryan and the other two came to the central square of Liberty Paradise. This is the most prosperous place in the entire Liberty Paradise. Surrounding the entire square, there are sparse buildings, villas of wealthy merchants, and powerful mercenaries.
Put your headquarters here. The entire square can stand about 200,000 people, which is a very huge number.
When Ryan arrived, it was already crowded. Under Flanner's leadership, they barely found a remote place to stand. This place is about 500 meters away from the viewing platform in the center of the central square, basically
It is impossible to see clearly the faces of those people standing on the observation platform, and the surroundings are in chaos, let alone the sound of hearing them speak. The only advantage is that there is no blockage here to the middle of the observation platform.
After a while, the places where Ryan and the others squeezed in were densely packed with people. Even if they wanted to walk, they might not be able to squeeze out. Ryan suddenly had an absurd idea, if one was thrown out here.
Fireball Technique may cause a record of the number of people killed by a single fireball Technique since magic. Ryan shook his head ridiculedly. He didn't sleep all night last night, and after dinner in the morning, he went back to draw the scroll. He has been busy until now, and it seems too much.
It is not a good thing to be tired, but now I have started to think about it.
After a while, Flanner gently pulled the corner of Larryn's clothes and said in his ear: "Come on, the old man walking in the middle is Chilaviv."
Ryan squinted his eyes and looked carefully. He saw an old man in white clothes slowly walking up to the viewing platform. Four people followed him, two of whom were wearing magician robes, but because the distance was too far,
Ryan couldn't see what the badges they were wearing on their chests. Two others were wearing cloaks, and the black cloaks covered their whole bodies, and even their faces were not exposed.
Alando's voice suddenly rang in Ryan's ear: "Those two cloaked soldiers are very powerful. I guess I and Xiaobai can barely deal with one."
Ryan nodded slightly. As the richest man in the mainland, the president of the Dorok Business Alliance of the No. 1 Chamber of Commerce in the Mainland, and the chairman of the Free Paradise Merchant Alliance, the commercial capital, would be strange if Chilaviv doesn't even have a bodyguard around him.
Woolen cloth.
Chilaviv walked to the front of the viewing platform, and a magician next to him quickly walked up to him and recited a large spell. Ryan could not hear the sound of the magician, so he could not judge to the bottom.
What a spell, but then again, Ryan had not received regular magician training at all. Even if he could hear it, if this magic was not used by him, he would still hear it if he saw others release it often.
Not coming out.
More than ten seconds later, the magic was completed, and a large ball of colorful light appeared in front of Chilaviv. At this moment, Ryan suddenly heard an old man coughing in his ears. Then, the old man spoke.
"Hello, dear residents of Free Paradise, merchants, mercenaries, and other people from all walks of life!"
"Ah." Ryan exclaimed softly. He had guessed what spell the magician was releasing, and could spread Chilaviv's voice throughout the hustle and bustle center square. This was really an amazing magic.
.
"Hehe, it's acoustic technique!" Flanner seemed to guess what Ryan and Alando thought, and smiled and said the answer.
But they didn't say anything anymore, because Chilaviv's voice sounded again. Within a few breaths, the entire central square was silent. At least the square with a crowd of 300,000 people could be so quiet. If we had not heard one after another, we could hear one after another.
The sound of breathing, otherwise I would never believe that there are so many people here without looking at it.
"Thank you all for coming here on time. Let's start now. Let's introduce yourself first. My name is Chilaviv, the chairman of the Free Paradise Merchant Alliance."
"ah!"
"Wow!"
"oh!"
"Huh!"
The continuous sounds sounded everywhere. It seemed that many people had seen the legendary figure of Chilaviv for the first time, but everyone made some noises, and soon the central square returned to peace.
Chilaviv continued: "Just last night, we received the messenger from the North Thor Fortress, and they brought an important news that the orcs from the North Taron Prairie were preparing to go south again, and they gathered a huge number of people.
The army is planning to seize the Thor Fortress.”.
"Let them die!"
"Kill those green-skinned bastards!"
Many irritable guys have started to shout, and the scene is slightly chaotic, but Chilaviv immediately controlled everyone's emotions: "Yes, it is normal for everyone to have such thoughts. We gathered today
Here is the warriors who are preparing to help the Thor Fortress drive our enemies away.”
"After consultations from the heads of our seventeen chambers of commerce, we decided to fully support Thor Fortress. The specific approach is as follows: First, all members of the Free Paradise Merchant Alliance must participate in this support operation. The specific list of materials needed by Thor Fortress, everyone
You can go to the Mercenary Guild to request it for free. After the Thunder Fortress is accepted, it will pay according to the price set by the Free Paradise Merchant Alliance. If someone is found to be mixed with inferior goods, it will be severely punished according to the law of the empire. In severe cases, it will be treasoned for the country.
The crime is punished with hang!"
"Secondly, any mercenary group registered in the Free Paradise Mercenary Guild must participate in this support operation. What you need to do will be collected according to your own strength through the Mercenary Guild's release of tasks. After completing the tasks, you will receive them in the form of the Mercenary Guild's release of tasks.
You can get corresponding rewards. All participants must unconditionally obey the management of the Thor Fortress garrison. If they violate it, they will be severely punished according to the military regulations!"
"Third," Chilaviv said this, pausing for a moment, as if he was thinking about the words, and after a few seconds, he continued: "Doroc Business Alliance will lead the lead in sending three mercenaries under his name.
Two of the group will also send twenty magicians, and other members of the chamber of commerce will also send corresponding personnel. I will not describe them one by one here. I will mainly want to remind everyone that since you are
Do your best and do what you can. This seems a bit contradictory, but it is quite important."
"This time the orcs are coming in full force, no more than usual. In the past four or fifty years, although the orcs have attacked many times, each time they are not large. Thor Fortress can even easily deal with it with its own garrison. However, this time
But it is different. According to the reliable information at present, the orc army has more than 500,000 people living together!"
"Five hundred thousand?!?!" Hearing this number, countless people took a breath. This is really a huge number. Everyone knows that without considering the factors such as training, morale, logistics, equipment, command and other factors, etc.
, relying solely on the physical quality among soldiers, an orc can defeat three human soldiers. These 500,000 means that the human army that defends them will cost 1.5 million.
Although the human population on the entire continent may be between 50 and 60 million, the sacred empire under the Fernando royal family is not a completely unified country. It implements a lord system, and those areas ruled by lords only need to pay taxes
The population there is not managed by the center of the empire. The population directly ruled by the Fernando royal family includes the imperial capital area, that is, the city of Fernando and its surrounding areas, plus the Sunrise City and the Sea Breeze City under the control of the Fernando royal family
In some cities, the population will definitely not exceed 15 million.
The main force that truly resists the attack of the northern orcs is the soldiers recruited from this 15 million people. The taxes that the entire empire can receive every year are as high as 20 million after experiencing various discounts.
The taxes on population and other expenses are excluded. The army that the empire really owns is only about one million.7 million. This number includes the garrison troops and reserve troops, and the real elite troops are only only six hundred thousand. Thor Fortress has been stationed for two years.
One hundred thousand, this is one of the most elite troops in the empire.
Everyone originally thought that as in previous years, there were only more than 100,000 orcs. According to the practice of defending the city, the 200,000 troops in Thor Fortress could resist millions of human troops at will, and according to the human and orcs, the 200,000 troops in Thor Fortress could easily resist millions of human troops.
The three-to-one ratio conversion is to defend against an orc army of about 300,000. But now when Chilaviv said this, the merchants and mercenaries who were determined to make a fortune through this war suddenly calmed down
Many of them were not stupid, and immediately understood why the garrison of Thor Fortress this year would abnormally contact the south and seek support.
Seeing that his words made the atmosphere here decline a lot, Chilaviv suddenly laughed and said loudly: "I know what you are thinking, but I can also tell you that sometimes, the so-called conversion ratio
It's just a game for cowards to comfort themselves! You should all know that two hundred years ago, humans who had passed a hundred years of catastrophe were attacked by the undead legion, and were full of sorrow. At that time, the orcs were extremely powerful. Someone had calculated that their
The army, those green-skinned guys, have a whole million soldiers who can fight!"
"But what the result? Everyone knows that our great Majesty Fernando personally led a hundred thousand troops to conquer the orcs. Wherever his Majesty Fernando's hands giant sword "The Holy Avenger" pointed, the orc army was defeated, even if they gathered more than us
Seven times the soldiers of the human army were eventually driven out of the Nantalun Prairie by His Majesty Fernando!”
"What is His Majesty Fernando's utmost?" Chilaviv shouted loudly: "Who can tell me, you cowards?"
"Royal Knight!" Thousands of people yelled out together.
"I can't hear you cowards!"
"Royal Knight!" Tens of thousands of people roared out together.
"No, the sound is too low. Have you not eaten? Or have you been so scared that you have peed your pants?"
"Royal Knight!" More than 300,000 voices roared out this name. The entire central square of Liberty Paradise was flooded by the huge sound waves, the earth seemed to tremble, and the surrounding buildings seemed to be shaking.
"Yes, that's right!" Chilaviv said loudly: "You are right. We have the invincible Royal Knights, and we have the invincible victory over General Orlando! As long as we unite, we can defeat everything in front of us.
All enemies! Twenty thousand years ago, our ancestors united, slaughtered countless ancient giant beasts, and gained the power to survive in this continent! Two thousand years ago, our ancestors united, conquered the entire continent, and became
The master of this continent! Two hundred years ago, our Majesty Fernando, with united humans, drove out the green-skinned orcs and established a powerful country! And today, we will unite and use our strength to destroy our
