When the sun rose high in the east, Ryan and his party arrived at their destination, the wealthy area of Fernando City. This was originally a place enjoyed by wealthy nobles, but during the night of Chad's rebellion not long ago, After the rebels were defeated, they poured in here, burned, killed and looted, turning the place into ruins and no longer inhabited.
Therefore, after letting the troops and civilians from the Thunder God Fortress return to the imperial capital, Luke arranged them all in this large area. Of course, most of the places where the rich live are courtyards. As long as they are cleaned up a little, there will be large tracts of open space. , however, tents were set up one by one in these open spaces, just like in the Thunder God Fortress,
When Ryan arrived, General Jonas was training the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. Due to the accidental death of the king, there was no new appointment for the garrison commander of Thor Fortress, so according to the replacement regulations in the army, Jonas Becoming the supreme commander of the defeated troops of Thunder God Fortress, he reorganized the entire army in the past few days, recruited some soldiers from the civilians who returned from Thunder God Fortress, and formed a full army.
These 60,000 soldiers lined up in a neat square, jogging around the entire wealthy area. Colin, Thomas and other shooters, the 10,000 heavy cavalry soldiers, etc. were all among them. Jonas was very busy during the reorganization. The veterans who have withstood the baptism of war and the recruits who have just joined the army are cleverly mixed together. Through this method of veterans leading the recruits, combat effectiveness can be quickly formed. During normal training, these veterans are role models and lead the recruits to do various things. With practice, on the cruel battlefield, these experienced veterans can lead the novices around them and eliminate the panic of these soldiers who have never seen blood.
Outside Jonas's army training, many civilians from the Imperial Capital were watching. Since the establishment of the Imperial Capital, it has basically not experienced much war. If there is any slight disturbance in the Empire, the powerful Royal Knights will be dispatched to wipe out those rebellions. The lord of the capital simply does not allow any threats to appear near the imperial capital. As a result, the civilians of the imperial capital rarely see real wars, and it is rare to see the army training. Therefore, when the Jonas Legion starts training every day, Many people will come early to watch.
Looking at the neatly organized troops jogging, among the onlookers, a teenage boy said loudly: "Look, it's great. It would be great if I could be there too."
"What's the point? The most powerful army in our empire is the Royal Knights. What's the point of these ordinary army drills?" Another person with the boy retorted: "Besides, what's the point of running away so slowly? What's the use? Are they used as targets? No wonder they rolled back from the Thunder God Fortress in despair."
This sentence was spoken loudly, and many people around the group of boys heard it, including Ryan and his party, as well as some soldiers who were practicing, and even General Jonas heard it.
The soldiers who heard this were all filled with anger. The main reason for the fall of the Thunder God Fortress was the betrayal of Adjutant Hans. If there were no internal problems, how could the Thunder God Fortress be so easily breached by the orcs? However, even though these soldiers were full of anger. , but no one went to those boys to reason or defend, because in just a few days of training, they understood the most basic requirement of a soldier, which is to abide by discipline. Before getting orders from their superiors, No one left the team to stop the drill they were doing,
Soon, the jogging ended. According to the normal training mode of Thor Fortress, this kind of warm-up jogging not only allows the soldiers to move their bodies, but also has the purpose of enhancing mutual understanding and cultivating the military's sense of honor. Under normal circumstances, this kind of jogging The leader of each legion will lecture the soldiers, and then conduct training according to the different types of arms. Therefore, under the leadership of their captain, the soldiers of each square group uniformly gathered towards a large open space. Sixty thousand people crowded together tightly, occupying the open space to the fullest.
Jonas stood on a half-collapsed building, looking down at his soldiers. At this moment, General Jonas's face was livid. He heard those words just now, and felt very unhappy. Since Thor After the failure of the fortress and the return of the civilians, I often heard similar words, but they were all discussed quietly behind the scenes. This was the first time in public.
Jonas is a soldier. He has a sense of honor as a soldier. He doesn't bother to explain anything to others. Failure is a failure. This result is irrefutable. Although the responsibility is not his own, it does have bad consequences for the empire. , and if explanation can solve the problem of orc invasion, then why do we need the army
Jonas stood there tall, looking around at the soldiers standing below. Many of them had expressions of grievance, pain and disappointment on their faces. Jonas knew that these rumors had a negative impact on his soldiers. He was going to say a few words casually and then disband. Wait until tomorrow. No matter what, he can't let those boring guys come to watch anymore.
Jonas opened his mouth and was about to speak, but unexpectedly saw Ryan and his entourage standing not far away. He was delighted. As early as the battle after the Thor Fortress was broken, Ryan used his actual actions to defeat Jonas. A solid impression was created in the minds of others, that is, as long as Ryan takes action, there is no problem that cannot be solved. This is indeed the case. Less than 3,000 soldiers who gathered after the rout not only blocked more than 10,000 soldiers under the leadership of Ryan The attack of the orc warriors also killed at least more than 7,000 orc pursuers, and defeated the orc pursuers, who were always known for their bravery.
Jonas suddenly shouted: "Warriors, who saved us at the most critical moment of Thor Fortress."
The soldiers standing below listening to General Jonas's instructions were collectively stunned. They did not understand what Jonas meant in a short time. After Jonas shouted those words, everyone fell silent. Standing quietly, no one answered,
A few seconds later, a man's voice shouted loudly: "Reporting to the commander, it is Magician Ryan."
Jonas glanced around and found that it was Colin. He laughed and cursed in his heart: "I knew it was you." However, Jonas shouted loudly: "Yes, it's Magician Ryan. Now, we Ryan is also here." After saying that, he pointed with his hand, and the eyes of the 60,000 soldiers followed Jonas's finger and looked at Ryan, which shocked Ryan.
Seeing Ryan, the spiritual leader of Jonas Legion, appearing next to him, and not knowing who was taking the lead, 60,000 soldiers shouted in unison: "Lian, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan." The huge sound immediately Submerged the surroundings and echoed over the empty wealthy areas,
Jonas smiled and gestured towards Ryan, hoping that he could come up and say a few words. Ryan's heart jumped a few times for no reason. This was the first time that Ryan heard so many people shouting his name in unison, even in In the Royal Athletic Competition, because Ryan adopted a low-key style and did not reveal his power until the last moment, he naturally did not have the opportunity to enjoy this moment when tens of thousands of people cheered for him in unison.
"Go, Ryan." Flanner's voice appeared in Ryan's ears. Ryan turned his head and saw Allen Dou and Flanner both nodding towards him. Ryan also smiled slightly in return, and then Turning his head back, he strode towards Jonas without hesitation.
A few minutes later, Ryan came to Jonas's side and stood on the half-collapsed building. If Faras was also there, he would definitely recognize this building as Chad's son Bailey's magic. Tower, and the place where these 60,000 soldiers stand is Chad's mansion,
"Please." Jonas said to Ryan gently, and then walked away. What was coming was a moment that only belonged to Ryan. Even Jonas, the commander of this legion, walked away willingly. Not willing to block Ryan’s light,
Ryan stood on a tall building and looked around. Wherever his eyes went, the shouts calmed down. Soon, the place returned to silence. Ryan thought for a moment in his heart, and then started his own The first speech in life,
"Dear glorious warriors, I am very happy to be able to stand here today and face the bleak reality with you." Ryan said loudly with a calm face: "Just now, someone said that we came back from the Thunder God Fortress in disgrace. I Guess that’s not the first person to say it.”
After hearing Ryan start his speech, everyone held their breath and listened with rapt attention.
"First of all, I want to praise everyone. Yes, you heard it right, it is praise. If you are just an ordinary civilian, when you hear someone insulting yourself and your family, I think you will not hesitate to take up arms. , give those guys who overestimate their abilities a lesson, but the 60,000 comrades and partners standing here in front of me today, who are as close as family, are soldiers of the empire."
"When I was in the Thunder God Fortress, I was entrusted by the fallen General Clark to form a team. I selected 50 warriors who were proficient in shooting. These shooters were the elite of the Thunder God Fortress army. Each of them was Masters who are always on target, these elite shooters are not in harmony with each other, and many of them are even bitter enemies, such as Colin and Thomas."
Hearing Ryan say the names of these two people, many veterans standing below burst into laughter. The past of these two people has a long history in Thor Fortress. There are 100 drinking and fighting incidents every month in Camp 2 of Thor Fortress. Among them, there were at least 40 cases involving these two people. The most exaggerated one was that they fought seven times a day. They fought during the day and at night. After the fight in this bar, they saw each other again when they were drinking in another bar. So I continued to fight,
