Looking at the mess in front of him, Ryan felt quite sad. He vaguely remembered that the name of the ruins in front of him was "The First Cup of Wine". It was the last time he stayed in Seawind City when he was sent to the south of the mainland on Luke's order. It’s a pity that everything that was familiar to me in the bar I stayed in has completely changed in just a few years. Fortunately, this largest port city in mankind has returned to the control of the imperial capital.
"Brother-in-law said that he would leave an army to garrison here, and then mobilize enough civilians to rebuild the city. Maybe soon the shipping from the north to the south of the mainland will be reconnected. In this way, in a few years, we can see another city full of people. A new and vibrant city." There was a touch of sadness in Farasi's tone: "It's a pity that Oz can no longer see it..."
Listening to the slightly crying nasal voice in Farasi's words, Ryan shook his head sadly. He sighed and said to Farasi: "Send someone to look for Oz's wife and children. Maybe... maybe they are..." You might even be lucky enough to escape."
Ryan's voice was full of uncertainty. Apparently he knew very well how an ordinary woman with a child of several years old could survive in the surging undead army. He said this just to give himself some comfort. , just like they kept looking for Josha after returning to the Imperial Capital from Thunder God Fortress,
"The City of Bones is withered by the damn forbidden curse, but there are a bunch of hell gate summoning circles in Seike City. When we get to Seawind City, hey, there is actually a large group of Naga waiting for us." Reid scratched his head. Head, said with some depression: "The plan of Lich Lord Nicholas is really vicious. First let our army suffer heavy losses in the City of Bones and Sek City, and then use the Nagas to block our steps. If it is really If he succeeded, wouldn't it mean that he would bring another powerful opponent into this war-torn continent?"
"Anyway, now that we are standing here, this should be a good start. At least those enemies who fled to the sea will not threaten us in a short time." Clifford was wily and pointed out the potential at a glance. Hidden dangers: "But this is only for now. Those undead do not need food and air. The Nagas most want to live in the ocean. As long as they are given some time, I believe they will come back soon."
"Hmph, we will take action when the time comes and teach them a lesson." Farasi said with high spirits,
"Of course." Clifford nodded with a smile and said, "But I'm afraid these guys won't fight us head-on. If they are determined to become pirates in the depths of the sea, our north-south shipping will be severely damaged. Should we let us These great magisters hide on sea ships all day long, sailing back and forth in the sea."
"That's not possible. Doesn't this mean that our strength is dispersed? Besides, I get seasick." Farasi said reluctantly,
"Hahahaha." Everyone burst out laughing. This laughter also dispelled the sadness in everyone's hearts and made the atmosphere a lot more cheerful. After all, mankind has now won a rare victory. If a solid rear can be established, It will certainly be very helpful for the protracted war in the future.
Ryan also had a smile on his face, but his heart was still a little heavy. There were too many things at hand, and he wished he could do them all at once, but it happened that all these things had to be done step by step, so he There is always a sense of urgency in my heart. Although the Eastern Expedition was successful, Cassano should still be under tremendous pressure from the half-demon army. As for the main force of the undead army, there is still no trace of it until now. People have to be careful, which naturally involves a huge amount of energy from the Imperial City.
"Fight away the half-demon, eliminate the undead army, help Tisiris win the New Year's sacrifice, and resolve the hatred and differences between the north and the south of the continent. Well, the internal conflicts in Cassano will also need time to ease, and... And Catherine will give That damn request I made." Ryan couldn't help but cursed. Everything in front of it was easy to say. No matter how difficult it was, as long as he did it slowly and seriously, Ryan believed it could be accomplished. However, the last one left Ryan at a loss. He really didn't know what to do. What can I do,
Faras and others could not imagine what was in Ryan's mind. They walked slowly on the streets of Seawind City, which had been basically destroyed, and headed towards the dock area. Other facilities in this city could take a break, and the dock area would be better off. It was repaired as soon as possible so that ships from the north of the mainland could dock here, thus re-stimulating the development of north-south shipping. With the development of shipping, the connection between the imperial capital and southern allies such as Liberty Paradise and Mochizuki City will inevitably be strengthened. , which is also very helpful to the unity of the Six-Party Alliance. Of course, this is slightly disadvantageous to Cassano. After all, the restored maritime navigation will pass through the Cassano caravan in a thinner manner, but Ryan does not care about this.
Everyone wandered around the dock area for a while, and decided to restore the facilities here in a few words. After all, the structure here has not been touched at all, it is just some damage to the facilities. As long as Chilaviv pays some money, it will be done. It can be solved. This is also their obligation in the alliance. I believe that the businessmen of Free Paradise can easily complete it.
In fact, the real problem is how to protect this place from enemy attacks. However, Ryan and the others just discussed it for a few words before several messengers came running from a distance. Judging from their decorations, they were from the Royal Knights. Holy Knights, these knights came to Ryan and others, jumped down quickly, and conveyed the order from Orlando to everyone, hoping that they would rush to the temporary military camp of the coalition immediately. There were important things to discuss,
When Ryan and others arrived at Orlando's military tent outside the city, they found a messenger from Cassano. The messenger's face was originally full of exhaustion, but after seeing his lord come in, he suddenly became confused. With an expression of joy, he ignored the salute to Ryan and said loudly: "Lord, the war in Cassano is tense."
Ryan's eyebrows jumped slightly, but he pretended to be nonchalant. He waved his hand casually and asked, "Don't panic. Speak slowly."
The messenger didn't know if he was infected by Ryan's calm expression, and his tone gradually softened from nervous and urgent. When he first arrived, he had briefly told Orlando about the war on Cassano's side, and now everyone was together. When they got together, they recounted it in detail. It turned out that on the second day of the Alliance's Eastern Expedition, the vanguard of the Half-Demons had already appeared outside Cassano. After several days of repeated fighting and fighting between the scouts from both sides, the Half-Demons The demon army launched a fierce attack on Cassano's human defense line.
Before the Cassano messenger set off, the half-demon army had entered Cassano's territory and advanced dozens of kilometers toward the Iron Fist Castle. However, this did not mean that Cassano was retreating steadily. It was a planned and step-by-step evacuation under the careful arrangements of Adela and others, so the loss was not huge. However, as the defense line shrank, the half-demon army was getting closer and closer to the Iron Fist Castle. This time the messenger The real purpose of coming to Seawind City is to urge Ryan and others to return to fight back against the aggressive half-demon.
"In that case, Ryan, please make some preparations and return to Cassano tomorrow. Well, if Faras has nothing to do with you, you can go together. Cassano is a member of our six-party alliance and is responsible for the entire western front of the alliance. The important task of defense is now that the imperial capital has enough strength, and it is time to support them in the battle." Orlando guessed the purpose of the messenger before he could explain it clearly, so he simply spoke directly ahead of him,
Of course, Ryan didn't care about some of the Cassano people's thoughts. He nodded and agreed to Orlando's arrangement. Alando, Barbara and others would naturally follow Ryan back, and Faras directly moved the imperial capital. The magic legion was handed over to her deputy. She only took a few attendants and followed Ryan and the others on the road. Due to security issues involving Seawind City and other places, Archbishop Red and others had to stay. They would deal with these being occupied by the undead legion. The city conducted repeated inspections to ensure that no accidents would occur after migrating back to human residents. However, the Great Magister Clifford hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to lead the team back to Moon City. After all, this is his hometown, and he did not dare to be too Too careless,
Since the journey at the beginning was still the same, Ryan and others went upstream along the Rapids River. The road here has always been the hub of mainland transportation. Even though it was once occupied by the undead army, it did not suffer any damage because Ryan The marching speed of the others was not too slow, and it took them 4 days to arrive at Freedom Paradise.
After a day of rest and replenishment, Ryan and the others were on the road again. The magic army from Cassano showed good physical fitness. Not only were these young magic apprentices able to walk dozens of kilometers every day, , and even have to personally arrange the campsite for camping at night. As for trivial matters such as food, night watch, etc., everyone takes turns. Although the magicians from Moon Moon City are stronger than them, they usually hardly do anything. Not only do they stay all day In the carriage, everything was handed over to the huge group of guards.
These two completely different habits have attracted the attention of many interested people, but no one mentioned these trivial matters to their faces during the boring daily march, let alone after everyone separated on the east side of the Cursed Swamp. When someone mentioned these things, because Ryan and the others had returned to Cassano, everyone's hearts were focused on a war to defend Cassano.
"How is the battle going?" Ryan stood at the top of the Iron Fist Castle and softly asked Vivian and others around him. His eyes were observing the situation in the distance with farsightedness, but his ears were listening to the report from Adela, and Mouth raised some doubts from time to time and asked Vivian to answer them. It only took 30 minutes to fully grasp the current situation of Cassano.
