When Ryan was thinking wildly, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps in the yard. Ryan felt a little strange in his heart. Why would someone come at this time and leave in such a hurry? Is there anything important?
?So Ryan jumped to the ground, walked to the door in a few steps, and opened the door.
The owner of the footsteps was a man about forty years old, wearing a servant's attire. Of course Ryan recognized this man. He was one of Luke's personal followers. Shortly after the dinner, it was this man.
The servant took him to Luke's study on Luke's order.
The man came over in a hurry and was about to shout when he saw Ryan pushing open his door. While he was still in the middle of the yard, he already shouted impatiently: "Mr. Ryan, Mr. Luke, please go there immediately."
His study."
Ryan was stunned and asked the servant: "Didn't you just go there? Why?"
Speaking of this, Ryan's voice immediately dropped because he remembered the charming encounter he had just had. Wasn't the heroine of that encounter none other than Luke's daughter? Ryan thought uneasily in his heart.
: "Isn't it because he knew what happened just now? Is it my sister?"
The personal attendant didn't know what Ryan was thinking. He followed Luke's personal instructions and had to take Ryan there. Seeing that Ryan was motionless after listening to his words, he walked to Ryan in a few steps and whispered in Ryan's ear.
He whispered: "Master Luke's instructions, please bring your companions and rush over immediately." After saying that, the servant added: "The matter is very urgent."
Ryan nodded. Since Luke said that, it must be an urgent matter, so he let out his voice and shouted: "Ellendo! Flanner! Get up, it's urgent!"
As early as when the servant hurried over, Alando woke up from his deep sleep. As a druid, Alando was ready to fight at any time. Now when he heard Ryan shouting,
He opened the door and walked out with Xiaobai. The dark room of Flanner also lit up. After about 2 minutes, Flanner also opened the door and walked out while getting dressed.
came out.
Ryan said to them: "Luke sent someone to inform us that there is an emergency. Let's go to his study now." Allendo and Flanner nodded, and the three of them followed Xiaobai.
The personal attendant walked to Luke's study.
Except for Flanner who had just arrived here not long ago, Ryan and Alando had lived in Luke's mansion for a long time and were very familiar with the environment here. Soon, they came to Luke's study.
Luke was walking around anxiously in his study. It seemed that he had not left after explaining the matter to Ryan. When Ryan and others walked in, Luke quickly said to Ryan: "There is no time to say more.
, we just received news from the scouts that they encountered the vanguard of the orcs about 170 kilometers north of the imperial capital."
"Ah!" Ryan and the other three were all shocked.
"The most damning thing is," Luke said with a ferocious look on his face, which was completely different from his usual calmness: "The team sent out actually left two farms with tens of thousands of farmers and ran back like this."
Ryan asked Luke: "How many orcs are there? Where is our team?"
Luke realized that he had lost his composure. He adjusted his mentality and returned to his usual self, and then replied: "500 cavalry, 2500 infantry, and 1000 transport carriages. They just left everything behind.
They ran away, and according to the intelligence from the scouts, those orcs were definitely the vanguard, and their number did not exceed 500."
"Hmph, the captain at the head must be killed, otherwise the morale of our army will collapse before the battle. I made it very clear when I issued the order. When encountering enemy troops, we will organize residents to resist on the spot and report them quickly so that we can
We sent reinforcements, but they actually..." Luke said harshly.
Ryan shook his head slightly, and was very dissatisfied with the captain who escaped from the battle. Judging from his experience in fighting the orcs, if the captain was willing to immediately organize the young adults on the farm and use local houses to resist like he did, it might not be possible.
We can't defeat the orcs coming from afar. As long as we can block them, Luke will definitely organize more troops to support them as soon as they receive the news. They will transport the people away no matter what. As for the houses and supplies,
Just burn it before leaving.
"Please give the order!" Ryan said firmly: "I can go to support immediately!"
Luke shook his head and said: "No, it's already too late. It's 170 kilometers. Even if it's a fast horse, it will take a whole day. If you rush there now, maybe those two farms have been washed with blood. Even if they haven't,
, you run over with all your strength, can you still have fighting ability?"
"That"
"As I just told you, form a team immediately." Luke expressed his thoughts: "Ryan, well, I should call you Captain Ryan. You organize this team in the name of a mercenary group.
Then try to protect the safety of Catherine, Faras and the other sisters as much as possible."
"Why in the name of a mercenary group?" Ryan asked puzzledly.
"Time is urgent now, so I won't explain to you any more." Luke waved his hand and said to Lane and the three of them: "Now, in the name of the Imperial Finance Minister, I hire the Lane mercenary group to protect Her Majesty the Imperial Queen and her entourage.
, Commander Ryan, please do your best. The corresponding reward, haha, can be regarded as Farasi’s dowry.”
When Ryan heard the last sentence, his face suddenly turned red. He wanted to say something, but because of Luke's last sentence, he didn't know what to say. There was a light in Flanner's eyes, and he
Hearing something from Luke's words, he stepped forward and patted Ryan's shoulder gently, indicating that he would handle it himself, and then said to Luke: "Dear Lord Luke, I am with the Ryan Mercenary Group.
As the logistics manager, I accept this task on behalf of the entire mercenary group and am willing to serve you."
Luke took a deep look at Flanner, who also looked at him with a knowing look. Luke smiled slightly and said to the people in the room: "Now, everything is up to you. I must immediately
Rush to the military camp, and then rush to the northern city wall with Orlando to set up a defensive line. Catherine and the others are still staying with me for the time being. After you get the team ready, pick them up immediately.
Take care of their safety." After saying this, Luke took out a command talisman from his body, handed it to Ryan and said: "This is my command talisman. Now that the empire has entered a wartime state, you can use this command talisman to travel through the world.
In the imperial capital, at the same time, once you have the troops or personnel you like, you can absorb them into the Lane Mercenary Group on the spot. Those who do not obey the orders will be executed on the spot!"
Ryan took Luke's command talisman hesitantly. Luke's words tonight gave Ryan some bad premonitions. Ryan vaguely felt that Luke's words had another intention, but he couldn't think of it at the moment.
Understood. Flanner tapped Ryan on the shoulder, signaling him to leave quickly. Ryan turned around and glanced at Flanner, who winked at him.
Ryan and Flanner have been together for a long time, and even a small movement between each other can convey information, just like the coordinated operation between him and Allen Dou. Based on Flanner's eyes, Ryan understood that Flanner already knew Luke's identity.
What he wanted, and time was urgent now, and it was impossible to delay any longer. So Ryan put the talisman away, said hello, and strode out with Allendo and Flanner.
The three people soon left Luke's mansion and walked on the street. Flanner asked Ryan: "Where should we go first?" Ryan said as they walked: "First find Colin and the others, and see where we are.
How many of the comrades who fought together in the Thunder God Fortress are willing to join the mercenary group, and then we can consider the next step."
"Okay!" Allendo and Flanner, who were walking behind Ryan, answered together.
"By the way, Flanner." Ryan strode forward and asked Flanner in a low voice: "Luke's words just now seem to have some purpose, do you know?"
Flanner nodded and said, "Of course I know. In fact, Luke was arranging an escape route just now."
"A way out?" Ryan stopped when he heard this. He turned around to face Flanner and asked, "What do you mean?"
Flanner said in a low voice: "Captain, the situation is critical now and time is very tight. You must not act emotionally under any circumstances."
Ryan stamped his feet and said, "What on earth are you talking about? Don't be secretive!"
Flanner explained: "I don't know what Luke told you before, but he asked you to protect Catherine and the Faras sisters by hiring a mercenary group. He was simply prepared for the worst!"
"Don't tell me"
"Whether it is Luke or Orlando, their current status will never allow them to leave the millions of residents of the imperial capital. If they can defeat the orcs, of course it would be best, but what if?"
"If the orcs capture the Imperial City, we are only hired as a mercenary group, and the task we receive is to protect personnel. We do not need to coexist with this city. So we can abandon the Imperial City and leave here!" Ryan
Having understood what Flanner meant, he added: "And Catherine, Faras and others can also leave under our protection, right?"
Flanner said nothing, obviously acquiescing to Ryan's words.
Ryan stared at Flanner for a full five minutes and suddenly let out a long sigh: "No, that will never happen."
Allendo suddenly interjected: "So we're working on it, Ryan."
When Ryan heard this, his eyes lit up and he suddenly became enlightened. He said with confidence: "Yes, as long as we don't give up our efforts, hope will not be extinguished!"
Just when Ryan said these powerful words, to the east of Fernando City, in the direction of the sea, at the junction of the sky and the earth, there was a faint hint of white, which was a harbinger that the sun was about to rise. When the sun rose high
When the time comes, the dark sleepless night will pass, and a new day will come.
