Watching his wife leading the magicians of the Imperial City to show off their power, Ryan felt very happy, even happier than if he had done it himself. What he saw in front of him also made him understand that his previous behavior of being too "doting" was indeed true. It hindered the growth of relatives and friends around him. He secretly made up his mind to give people around him more opportunities to take risks. The great mage Victor back then could let his student Faras, who was only a junior magician, travel across the continent. Why? Can't he, Ryan

"Of course, I will make adequate preparations in advance." Ryan looked at the star robe worn by Faras and said to himself,

"What are you preparing for?" Unexpectedly, Ryan's small voice was heard by Barbara standing nearby, so she interrupted and asked,

"Ouch." Just as Barbara asked, Ryan hit her hard on the head. Barbara covered the place where Ryan hit her and said with self-pity: "It's so annoying. I was hit by that stone just now." I scratched my skin, I don’t know if it will affect my skin, and now I hit someone on the head, sooner or later I will be beaten into an idiot by you, teacher, huh."

Ryan didn't pay attention to Barbara's words. He had already begun to consider whether to make more high-quality magic items, and then all his relatives and friends around him would have one. This would make him feel more at ease, such as the stars he recreated. The robe can not only store a "time stop" magic, but also has a redundant magic circle that allows the wearer to prepare a magic below level 6 in advance, and release it at a certain moment set by the wearer. If used properly If so, it can even save the wearer's life.

Imagine that when the magician wearing this star robe is accidentally approached by a thief and intends to attack him, the other party is helpless to find that the target is suddenly covered with a thick layer of "stone skin", or maybe it is just "misleading" Regardless of the mirror image left by the "spell", the wearer can change from passive to active. Its significance is naturally self-evident.

"Keep moving forward and search carefully." Ryan, who was thinking, heard Farasi's order in his ears. He immediately returned to reality and found that Farasi had already solved his opponent and began to command the human army to continue towards the central square of Seike City. Moving forward, there is the former Senat's pseudo-royal palace and many important facilities there. Although the entire city of Sike has now fallen into the hands of the undead army, when Orlando formulated the attack plan, he still set it as a The second priority capture target is after the entrance to the passage that breaks into the city.

With the assistance of the powerful magic legion, the alliance army quickly advanced to the center of Seike City. When Faras stepped on the solidified molten lava on the ground near the central square of Seke City, she even felt the vibrations from the soles of her feet. It was so hot, as if the solidified molten magma was still emitting the terrifying high temperature as it was that day.

"Wow, teacher, this is your masterpiece." Barbara shouted in surprise. No wonder she had such an expression, because after fighting in the streets of the city for a long time, she suddenly came to such a big place. In a clearing, it felt like I was back in the suburbs all of a sudden. Anyone would feel this way, but others would not express it loudly like Barbara, relying on Ryan's favor.

Seeing the area several kilometers around being razed to the ground, Faras was still very nervous, even though Ryan was standing behind her at the moment, and even though Faras had heard Ryan personally tell her about that incident many times before. After a battle, Faras could not feel how fierce the battle was until he was there in person. But even though he was trapped in such a tight siege, Ryan still released the forbidden spell regardless of his own safety and destroyed the Lich Lord's plan. , otherwise what the Human Alliance army has to face now will never be just some low-level skeleton warriors.

Because this place was severely damaged by the forbidden curse, even the undead army was unable to set up a summoning magic circle in this area. Faras and the others also got a chance to rest after fighting hard for a long time. Who knows how long they did not rest? Clifford and the others actually arrived in this area, and the two magic legions met near the central square of Seike City.

When the Royal Knights led by Orlando also set foot on this land, the entire city of Seike suddenly fell into silence. After those Thor demons that suddenly appeared were killed by the human army, there were no more new ones. The demon appeared probably because the summoning magic circle arranged by the undead army had been completely consumed.

After all the remaining undead creatures in the city were cleared away, this important city connecting the north and south of the mainland returned to human hands. Unfortunately, because the city had been occupied by the undead for a long time, it was still in a short period of time. It was not suitable for human habitation, so General Orlando chose to station outside the city.

This attack and defense battle on Seike City still caused great losses to the human coalition forces. More than 8,000 people who entered the city early were killed, and more than 1,000 people permanently lost their combat effectiveness due to injuries. If General Orlando had not fought Decisively let the Magic Legion and the Royal Knights enter the city. I am afraid that under the attack of those Thor demons, the human vanguard may be annihilated. However, even so, one-tenth of the loss still caused the Alliance's Eastern Expeditionary Army to suffer. After all, most of the soldiers here were killed by the Sol Demons. Wanting to regain combat effectiveness is not just a matter of replenishing some soldiers.

Of course, these things are all troublesome for Orlando and the others. After the war, Ryan rushed into his tent. Even if Faras came in person, he only chatted for a few words, and then continued to be busy. In this battle, Ryan passed The spectators finally understood that he had been too generous in the past. Although this was a kind of care, it also prevented his companions from improving their strength through life and death battles. He had to control his own destiny. Ryan's protection methods would kill him. When the people around him grow up, what he has to do is not to help others fight, but to train them to the maximum extent before the battle, so that they have the strength to protect themselves and survive in the cruel war. In order to achieve this goal, Ryan began to think like this Making magic items for people around you. Such magic items should not only protect them at critical moments, but also not make them feel dependent. This is not an easy task.

During this period of time when Ryan was busy, the human army carried out a series of rest and reorganization. In just three days, the 90,000 elite soldiers recovered 70-80% of their combat effectiveness. Although under Orlando's order, the alliance army moved towards this The third and final goal of the Second Eastern Expedition is Seawind City.

Since the previous two victories were relatively smooth, the alliance was very optimistic about winning the third victory and thus the final victory of the entire Eastern Expedition. When the entire army arrived at the outskirts of Seawind City, this emotion even reached its peak. As for many qualified commanders, they have approached Orlando, hoping that their subordinates can be the first army to invade Seawind City.

In view of this situation, Orlando was a little worried in his heart, but the military situation from Cassano, the Imperial Capital, etc. also left him no choice, because just before and after the alliance army attacked Seike City, the vanguard of the half-demon army had already After leaving the dwarves' Blackstone City, they appeared near Cassano and Moon Moon City, and had low-intensity conflicts with the garrison troops. Both sides won and lost. This situation has shown that the alliance army will soon be in a situation where it will be attacked from both sides. , so Orlando must capture Seawind City as quickly as possible, and then turn the main force to the western defense line to resist the attack of the half-demon army and defend the main force of the undead army that has currently lost its trace.

Seawind City is surrounded by the sea on three sides. There is only one city gate in the west. There are flat hills for more than ten kilometers outside the city gate. Large-scale troops can be deployed. However, because Seawind City is not very big, it can really be invested in all at once. The number of troops will not exceed 5,000. If you rely on this number to attack the city, it is likely that you will not be able to suppress the defenders on the city wall due to insufficient troops. Additional losses are certain, but if you attack from the waterway, Orlando will not have any Ships and time constraints did not allow him to wait patiently for the imperial fleet arriving from Sunrise City in the north, so Orlando once again set his sights on the accompanying magic legions.

Although the title of Magic Legion has been around for a long time, there are not many opportunities for them to really play their role. However, the most recent battle in Seike City made the Magic Legion shine, and their cooperation with each other has gradually broken away. Instead of the magician fighting alone, it has become as layered and rhythmic as an army. Of course, there are still many shortcomings. Orlando is very clear about this. He also knows better that if the magic army can one day handle this series perfectly The problem is, that is the moment when the Magic Legion truly becomes an army. At that time, various battle cases in the history of human wars are likely to be rewritten, and the heavy cavalry that has created countless illustrious achievements may withdraw from the stage of war.

If you want the magic army to form an army as soon as possible, you must give them enough opportunities so that the magicians can slowly accumulate experience in actual combat, so Orlando made up his mind to hand over the important task of conquering the walls of Seawind City this time. Of course, in order to prevent coordination problems between the two magic legions of different heritages, Orlando divided the city wall of Seawind City into two areas and let the two of them take charge of one of them. , and Ryan and Allendo still belong to a magic legion each like Seike City. After the city is broken, these magic legions will also take on the task of protecting the front part. In this way, even if there are any more terrible summoned creatures No need to worry anymore,
