Attack and defense are completely different. As the attacker, Senat can drive a large number of cannon fodder to death every day to consume the effective strength of the imperial capital. Anyway, even if the entire army is annihilated, there is nothing to feel bad about. On the contrary, it saves a lot of food, and for the imperial capital As far as the Mori Defense Line is concerned, no matter how strong the enemy's attack power is, it is impossible to mobilize too many recruits into the position, because as long as one point of a tight defense line is breached, the entire defense line will immediately collapse, affecting the recruits' morale, psychology, etc. He is completely inferior to veterans in other aspects, so naturally no one dares to take such a risk.
Therefore, in Senat's strategy of exchanging population for time, the two elite corps and one reserve corps of 300,000 people stationed in the imperial capital were held back. Their troops were more than adequate for defense but insufficient for counterattack. Naturally, they could not Acting rashly, the top military officer headed by him has sent three teams of messengers to the imperial capital, hoping to get more military support to launch a counterattack against Senat. Unfortunately, he has not received any reply.
In fact, neither the orcs nor the Senat could compete with the Imperial Capital at all. However, under the planning of the lich Nicholas, whose pseudonym was Safanas, these forces were closely united. They looked after each other and launched separate attacks on the Imperial Capital. Orlando and the others were attacked from both sides, and the imperial capital's military strength was therefore stretched thin.
By this time, many people began to understand how wise General Orlando was. It was he who fought against all opinions and attacked the Clay tribe in Mirror Lake first. Not only did he completely drive this serious enemy of the imperial capital out of the competition for continental hegemony, he also Therefore, a large number of war horses and supplies were obtained, and at the same time, more troops could be transferred from the western defense line to reinforce other battlefields. This allowed the imperial capital to face the enemy's offensive more calmly, and the war gradually entered a strategic stalemate. stage,
At this time, Ryan was staying safely in Cassano's Iron Fist Castle, training his students leisurely. Ryan returned to Iron Fist Castle and brought more than 100 outstanding magic apprentices from Moon Moon City. Here, according to the verbal agreement between Clifford and him, these magic apprentices all voluntarily gave up their original identities and became Cassanos. When this matter was known to the Imperial Capital, the president of the Imperial Capital Magic Guild Ha Mfist's first reaction was to immediately select the same number of magic apprentices, which were also arranged the same as the Moon Moon City Magic Guild, and forced them into Ryan's hands.
Not only that, Hamfest simply sent Androkos and Melinda, who had a good relationship with Ryan, to Cassano to assist in the establishment of the Cassano Magic Guild. The magister couple took them with them. The 50 senior magicians will become the first batch of members after the establishment of the Cassano Magic Guild. This is definitely a huge support for Ryan.
After learning the news, Clifford of Moon Moon City also organized a magic exchange group headed by a great mage to go to Cassano in the shortest possible time. Apart from their different names, what they wanted to do was the same as Ander's. The Rokos couple are no different. When Ryan's Cassano Magic Guild only existed in imagination, this Magic Guild already had a legendary mage, a grand magister, four magisters and more than 100 Senior magicians, as well as a large number of magic apprentices trained by Ryan himself who can use combined spell casting skills to release level 4 magic,
In addition, the Cassano Magic Guild headquarters currently under construction has also aroused almost everyone's expectations, because this building complex was designed by the Elf Queen herself, and the Dwarf King was fully responsible for the construction. This is the first time in human history that Once, just for this reason, this building complex that has just begun to be built has not yet been completed and has become a historical witness. It will witness the birth, development, and growth of the independent magic guild with the highest starting point in human history here, and it will continue to be passed down. Forever,
Ryan has also put a lot of thought into how to manage the Magic Guild that still exists on paper. Although the current members of the Magic Guild have stated that they will give up their original identities and carry out corresponding matters with their new identities as Cassanos, But how could the 200-year-old grievances between the two magic guilds in the Imperial Capital and Moon Moon City be eliminated with just a few words? When the Androkos couple headed by the Imperial Capital and the great mage Ivanov headed by the Moon City met. Finally, Ryan could vaguely see the sparks emerging between them.
Of course, these high-level mages are not the kind of people who don't understand the general situation, otherwise they would not be able to undertake such an important task. They compete with their opponents very rationally, and they are limited to magic research and other aspects, and will definitely not cause any harm to Ryan. Any trouble, and Ryan also adopted an indulgent attitude towards this kind of active competition. As long as they did not exceed the rules, Ryan would pretend not to know anything, but intentionally or unintentionally, he showed his attitude towards this kind of competition. support, which triggered more intense head-on competition, making Cassano's magical atmosphere even stronger.
"Okay, that's it for today." Ryan clapped his hands gently and spoke loudly to more than a thousand magic apprentices in the audience: "Everyone must pay attention to this, that is, what we are walking on now is a path. Shortcut, it can help us grow quickly, but it also makes us lose a lot of things, so everyone must not be complacent and must have a calm mind. In addition, you must understand that with the strength of our magic apprentices, we can release The magic that can only be released by an intermediate magician is not due to you alone, but a reflection of collective cooperation, so you cannot leave this group at any time, do you understand?"
"Understood." The voice of more than a thousand people shouting in unison was quite loud. Ryan suspected that if the roof of this classroom was not built by dwarves, it might be possible that the roar would directly knock it over.
"Very good. The next two hours will train your physical strength and willpower. Both of these points are very important for your future growth. Barbara, you can lead the team. The old rule is to run at the end." Ten groups had no lunch, and the three groups at the front were able to follow me in the afternoon.”
"Okay, Teacher Lane." There was a hint of maturity and sophistication in Barbara's childish voice. It seemed that managing a huge magic army was also a process of training, growth and improvement for her. This made this The little maid who was worried about her livelihood two years ago gradually adapted to the life in front of her.
"Okay, let's go." Ryan waited until Barbara and all the magic apprentices left the teacher, then called out to Natasha and Nataya, and prepared to go to the meeting hall to have a look. Now Ryan has fully adapted to it. After he finished handling government affairs in the council chamber, he would also take time to review the new recruits who were being trained. After all, Cassano still suffered a lot of losses when he attacked Moon City last time, so he must seize the time to make up for it.
Sisters Natasha and Nataya are completely different from other magic apprentices. They do not participate in Barbara's magic army. Instead, they follow Ryan all day long to communicate with each other. Ryan requires this The twins must be able to communicate at any time and at any time. This ability should be made into their own instinct, just like breathing, speaking, drinking, and eating.
This requirement sounds simple, but it is very difficult to implement in practice. Short-term spiritual contact is of course easy to achieve, but long-term contact can easily make the two sisters physically and mentally exhausted. This obviously does not meet Ryan's requirements. After all, it is really On the battlefield, perhaps just one second of negligence is enough to change the final barrier. Therefore, Ryan has not trained the two sisters in the next step, but let them slowly use time to understand.
The magic apprentices who had been taken away by Barbara had quickly arrived at the open space outside the classroom. There were dozens of logs more than ten meters long placed there. These magic apprentices selected them according to their own groups. A log was standing, and when Barbara turned over the hourglass next to it, the magic apprentices quickly picked up the log on the ground and walked forward separately.
There are exactly ten people in each group. It is quite difficult for ten young people to carry a large log weighing several hundred kilograms and walk around the entire Iron Fist Castle New City, especially for the magic apprentices from the Imperial Capital and Moon Moon City. It’s hard work. After all, they have been exposed to magic since they were young, but they have neglected physical exercise. However, everyone gritted their teeth and gritted their teeth, and no one said a word of complaint.
Ryan watched with a smile as the more than 100 groups of magic apprentices slowly walked away. Seeing that most of them were blushing and gnashing their teeth, he shook his head slightly in his heart. When he was studying with Teacher Galib , but a person is running around on a mountain trail carrying a large log that is half the weight of the log in front of him. In comparison, these little guys are already very relaxed now.
For Ryan, training thousands of apprentices at one time does not mean that the future magic army will have such a large number of people. After experiencing the Battle of Moon Moon City, Ryan also found that some of his previous assumptions needed to be revised, so Ryan I changed my mind a little and decided to compress this magic force and reduce the number to 500 people. However, every member must reach the level of a junior magician, and the best among them must reach the level of an intermediate magician. level, so that with the help of combined spell casting skills, these talents can release level 5 or even level 6 magic, so that they can truly face the enemy's magisters.
In order to achieve this goal, all Ryan can do is to squeeze their potential as much as possible, just like what Jialibu and Delanai did to him. However, Ryan still greatly reduced the training intensity of these apprentices, otherwise he would have been long gone. There has been a large-scale attrition. After all, even if they are eliminated, they can still assist the garrison, the Public Security Department, etc. For ordinary mercenaries or ordinary thieves and other law enforcement persons, these magic apprentices can still play a very important role. The role of
Just when Ryan was about to leave here and go to the meeting hall, a guard holding a spear ran over quickly. He came to Ryan's side, first bowed respectfully, and then cast a piece of gold in his hand. He handed the Cassano emblem to Ryan and said at the same time: "Mr. Ryan, there is a little boy outside looking for you. This is his token." Ryan took the emblem and could tell at a glance that it was made by him. , and in front of his eyes, the image of the shy boy in the free paradise also appeared,
