General Keenster sat quietly in the command room alone. He was watching a book "The Battle of Fernando" with all his attention. The table in front of him was filled with various materials, and a copy was placed in a corner of the table.
Roasted beef and a portion of goat milk soup, but it has long been cooled.
"Report!" A majestic voice rang outside the door.
General Keenster put down the book in his hand and said loudly: "Come in, Clark."
The door was pushed open and General Clark walked in with great strides.
"Sit down, you have worked hard today," General Keenster said lightly: "What is the result of the battle? Let's do it."
"Yes, General." General Clark walked in front of the table and stood at attention, saluted at Keenster with a standard military salute, and then said loudly: "Today, the orcs attacked Thor Fortress for the fifth time."
General Keenster waved his hand, pointed to the chair in front of him and said to Clark: "Okay, Clark, don't be so restrained, sit down and talk slowly."
"Oh, OK." General Clark was born into a civilian, and he did not have as many rules as a nobleman. He sat on the chair that General Keenster pointed to, and his heavy body pressed his chair "crunched" sounded.
"General, during the day, our Clark army killed more than 8,000 people. The soldiers riding wolf-riding soldiers dispatched behind the orcs were particularly powerful. 1,000 people killed more than 5,000 of us, and there were almost no wounded." General Clark said
At this point, I suddenly slang for a few hometown words, which roughly meant to greet the female ancestors of these orcs.
General Keenster, who was a nobleman, frowned slightly. In fact, he didn't understand Clark's hometown dialect very much, but after all, Clark had been under him for several years, and he still knew the meaning of the few words he often said.
After venting a few words, General Clark continued: "Our army killed about 30,000 orcs, destroyed the orcs' stone throwing cars, and more than 100 siege cars were siege cars. Our army consumed arrows."
General Keenster listened silently to General Clark's report. After Clark finished telling the general situation, General Keenster asked, "How is that little magician performing?"
When he mentioned Ryan, Clark's eyes suddenly emitted the gaze of a miser when he saw the gold coins. He said excitedly: "This little magician is so good. Today he and his squad killed more than 2,000 orcs.
My two personal guards went to count them personally. The little guy named Ryan killed more than 1,000 orcs independently, including 400 elite warriors of orcs. This is really a terrible number, he is one
The human record is almost a 5,000 elite brigade. General, give me more magicians like this."
General Keenster sighed and said to Clark: "Don't dream, you have never seen those magicians before. Almost everyone is a vase that is not good. If you can't put a few magic, you will have to.
When you go back to meditate, you have to keep quiet when casting spells and not interfere. How is this possible on the battlefield?"
"But, this little magician has no such problems." General Clark said hesitantly: "General, I have witnessed it with my own eyes today. This magician named Ryan was born for battle. I often see him
When he raised his hand, he flew out a purple thing or a blue lightning. By the way, there was also a round red ball. That thing was the most powerful. It could kill several orcs at a time."
General Keenster smiled bitterly and said, "Who knows, maybe this little guy is a freak."
Speaking of this, Keenster changed his tone and said in a low voice: "Clark, you are my old subordinate, and I don't hide it from you. Over the years, we have been a little careless, and no one expected that the orcs could actually be dispatched 50 times.
Ten thousand troops. Even if we humans can defend the danger, if the orcs rush up, they can pile up this fortress. Now orcs only send tens of thousands of people to attack the city every day, I am afraid there are other attempts.
Ah. If I guess correctly, it should be because there are many different lords among the orcs. The highest ruler of the orcs may not be able to fully control it, so he slowly sent tens of thousands of people to attack every day, and on the one hand, gradually consumed our strength.
, On the other hand, they are also consuming those uncontrollable powers."
"What should we do?" General Clark whispered: "Are we just waiting to die?"
General Keenster said: "The orcs need time, because they will slowly reduce the power of other lords, and we need time, because I just got the handwritten letter from General Orlando, who will lead an army to support us,
There will be Holy Knights in the army and magicians from the Royal Academy of Magic.”
"Ah, magician!" As soon as General Clark heard this, his eyes began to shine again: "General, give me all these magicians. It would be great if he could form an army of magicians."
General Keenster shook his head and said, "Don't think about these things now. The battles of several consecutive days have consumed a lot of money. Tonight I will let the Jonas Legion take over your defense, and your Legion will start tomorrow."
Start, step up the rest. I will add some soldiers to you, and you must recover before General Orlando arrives."
"This, uh, general, my legion has about 40,000 people to continue fighting. Those who were not seriously injured were nearly 10,000. I can stick with it."
"You know how to fight and kill!" General Keenster taught Clark a lesson and said, "Your subordinates have fought hard and must rest. Do you hope that when General Orlando arrives, your legion will be broken up
?”
"No, but"
"Nothing, but Clark. I've been in Fortress Thor for 10 years. I was competing for the position of leader of the Royal Knights, but unfortunately I lost to Orlando, so I came here to serve. According to convention, I might be transferred after this battle.
When you return to the imperial capital, you will likely take over my position at that time. But I can only make suggestions on these. Whether it is possible depends on your own."
"Okay, you go down. The magician named Ryan is very good. If I could pay attention to the information he provided before, maybe I wouldn't be so passive now."
"I understand, General. Then there is nothing to do, I'll go out first."
After watching Clark leave, General Keenster picked up the book "The Battle of Fernando". This book describes the history of Fernando I from the sunrise to the defeat of the orcs and establishing the entire empire. It was a priest who accompanied the army to write a diary.
Written in the way.
General Keenster is looking at this person whenever he has free time these days. What he cares most about is that Fernando I only brought 100,000 soldiers to sweep the entire Nantalen grassland, and drove the orcs who were ten times more than him to the North Tower.
Lun Grassland. According to the book, when fighting with orcs, Fernando I used heavy infantry to form a formation to fight with orcs, suppress the opponent with a shooter, and provide enough casting time for the magicians to release magic at their heart's content.
, When the orcs fall into chaos under a large number of magic attacks, 10,000 Holy Knights will launch a fatal blow.
The only thing that is missing from the elite troops of Thor Fortress now is the magician. Although Keenster knows nothing about magic, it is recognized that in recent decades, the level of magicians has been getting worse every year.
Especially the generous allowance of the Magic Guild has made the real magician disappear. Since you just have a title and enjoy a noble life, who else will stay in the laboratory and study magic boringly?
Not to mention joining the army.
In order to advance, those magicians practice magic more for promotion. To be promoted to a junior magician, only three level 3 magic is required. Well, you only need to practice these things in normal times. Anyway, even if you release 300 magic at a time,
Not only can you be promoted to a junior magician, this is the same treatment as a magician who can only release 3 magicians. The effort is not rewarded. Learning magic is a very expensive thing, so who can spend that effort?
ah?
There are only a few who can join a chamber of commerce like Lille and York, and make magic items with their own strength to earn gold coins. Not to mention a freak like Ryan, a magic apprentice, who definitely has more than an intermediate magician.
The power of
As the commander of the 200,000 army, Keenster could not have been prepared for Ryan and the others. In fact, Clark didn't need to report it. The spy he installed in the Clark Legion had already issued an assessment report on Ryan's strength. It was very
It is clear that Ryan may not be qualified to be promoted to a junior magician at all, but he can definitely kill 100 intermediate magicians by himself. This may be the biggest irony of the Magic Guild's promotion rules.
Keenster shook his head in distress, hoping that the magicians brought by General Orlando were one-tenth of Ryan, so that he would laugh out loud in his dreams. In today's daytime battle, Ryan had such a record alone,
Not only did they kill the enemy in large numbers, but they also resolved dangers many times and inspired morale. If Ryan were not just a mercenary, Kiernster even wanted to award Ryan a warrior medal. If there were 100 magicians like Ryan, Kiernster
The general even prepared to take the initiative to attack, and attack the orc capital like Fernando I did back then, and completely solve this 200-year border problem.
