This feeling of running on the grassland has broadened Ryan's mind a lot, especially when using the floating technique to stay in mid-air and look down at the earth, facing the strong wind, the earth is green, which makes Ryan's heart even more With more insights, Delanai, Victor, Ghalib, Orlando, Freya... various things that Ryan got from the strong people around him began to slowly integrate during this period of time, then It is a feeling that can only be understood but cannot be described in words.
"Today is the fifteenth day that I followed the expedition into the prairie, and it is also the eleventh day since I had this realization. Today's weather is very good, and the field of vision is quite broad, especially when I slowly float on the When the wind whistled past my ears in the air, I even felt a warm current slowly surging in my body... "
"This feeling is really difficult to describe in words, but I tried my best to describe it. Since the birth of the first legendary strongman among humans, it seems that there has never been a written record of this process, and according to everyone's opinion , it seems that the process of breaking through one's own bottlenecks and reaching the legendary realm will differ from person to person, and it seems difficult to learn from other people's experiences."
"But I plan to give it a try. Maybe I am an alternative among magicians. During my time in Cassano, I combined what I learned from Mr. Delanai with my own understanding. It was taught to Barbara and the magic apprentices. After about half a year of teaching and practice, Barbara slowly learned to use the fireball technique just like I did. Normally, a magician would go from contact to release this level 3 technique. Magic will take at least 3 to 5 years.”
"Since Barbara can follow the path I have taken to become a magic apprentice, then why can't I learn from her in my pursuit of legendary power? In this case, I also have this idea, Slowly realizing that power and then recording it, this is also my original intention of writing this diary."
"Lord Ryan, General Jonas's messenger is here to see you." The voice of his guard came from outside Ryan's tent. This voice also made Ryan, who was sitting alone in his tent, stop his wandering thoughts, and he gently He closed the magic notebook and carefully put it into his storage pocket.
Except for himself, no one else knows about the diary that Ryan writes every day. Even Farasi, Ryan did not tell her. In Ryan's view, since no one has left such written records, then There may be other reasons, so it is better to keep the whole matter a secret for the time being. Not letting Farasi and the others know about it can be regarded as a kind of protection for them.
"Come in." Ryan said, picking up the water glass in front of him and drinking all the water in it. At the same time, someone opened the curtain of the tent, and a familiar face walked in quickly. Ryan saw When he saw him, he was slightly startled, because the person who walked in was none other than Orlando himself.
"Huh." Ryan was secretly surprised because Orlando was actually wearing a military uniform. Judging from the emblem, he was just a squad leader in charge of 50 people. However, Ryan knew that Orlando must have his reasons for doing this, so he didn't say anything. And he made an inviting gesture, beckoning Orlando to sit down.
Orlando was not polite and sat directly opposite Ryan. He whispered: "Actually, it's nothing. About 20 minutes ago, Androkos detected signs of large-scale enemy movements through the 'Magic Eye'. The number No less than 10,000. The only ones who can have such a large number of troops here are the Clay tribe."
"Could it be that the Clay tribe can't bear it any longer?" Ryan lowered his voice and asked Orlando,
Because of the relationship between the Faras sisters, Orlando and Ryan can be regarded as a family. If it were not for official business, then they would be quite casual in private, so Orlando was not polite to Ryan and casually picked up the fresh fruit on the table. After taking a bite, he shook his head and said, "No, this shouldn't be the main force."
"Oh." Ryan knew that he was far inferior to Orlando in the military, so he sat there quietly, waiting for Orlando to slowly explain to him. Orlando finished the fruit in his hand in several mouthfuls and said to Ryan: "We It has been calculated that if the Clay tribe is fully mobilized, it can summon more than 100,000 combat troops, of course including the elderly and children, and there are only 20,000 elites among them."
"However, the number of troops of the Clay tribe's night attack today is far from correct. Moreover, in such a decisive battle with the main force, how can we use such a dangerous strategy as a night attack? If we had been prepared or even laid a trap in turn, the Clay tribe would have been completely defeated. "Yeah." Orlando smiled and continued: "So I guess tonight's night attack is just harassment, but their commander also has such a precaution in mind. After all, we have been in the prairie for fifteen days, and everything It goes well, and it’s understandable to be a little proud.”
"I understand," Ryan said.
"As for the Fengxing Shooters, I have asked them to continue to rest, because I don't plan to attack tonight, and naturally I won't need them." Orlando continued: "The Royal Knights must not be exposed, so I will let Joe Nas has full command, and for a night battle like this, Jonas and the others have worked hard to train, after all, it was like this night when you started fighting side by side."
Ryan understood that what Orlando was referring to was the night when the Thunder God Fortress was captured. If Hans, the adjutant of General Keenst, had not rebelled at that time, the Thunder God Fortress would still be impregnable. Later, after careful investigation by the Imperial Capital Intelligence System, it was found out that the original adjutant Hans was The chess piece laid by Senat, but the thrill of that night and the chaos of the garrison's night battle still made Jonas and other surviving officers worried, so they later specially strengthened the training of the Imperial Army in this area.
"How about it, Ryan? You're not interested in going to see the night view of the prairie with me. But I know you're living a very leisurely life these days." Orlando said leisurely. After listening to Orlando's words, Ryan's face showed a slight smile. Yihong, after all, they went deep into the prairie to attack the Clay tribe, but what Ryan did was more like coming for an outing. It was just that he had a special status and no one cared about it.
Ryan dressed up quickly. After all, he had the clothes of an ordinary adventurer in his storage pocket, so less than ten minutes after Orlando made the invitation, Ryan and Orlando walked out of the tent side by side.
It's midsummer now, and although it's getting late, the temperature is still a bit sultry, and there's a gray cloud overhead, covering up the moonlight. It looks like there might be a heavy rain soon.
Although it was already known that Clay cavalry was coming to attack at night, the entire expedition camp was still silent. Coupled with the dim bonfire in the open space and the occasional wolf howl outside the camp, it made people feel dull.
The camp of the expeditionary force is divided into three parts: the military camp where soldiers are stationed, the horse camp where horses are fed, and the baggage camp where supplies are stored. However, these three camps are intertwined instead of having clear boundaries. Orlando's arrangement like this is mainly to conceal the existence of the Royal Knights. After all, if this heavy cavalry regiment is alone, it will be too easy to be exposed, but if it is mixed with the infantry battalion and the horse battalion, it will be much safer.
Outside all the camps, there are wooden horses that are as tall as a person. These wooden horses are very simple to make. They are made of two rows of thick logs, but the end facing the outside is chipped. The point is just to prevent the war horses from forcibly attacking. In a camp of 70,000 people, there are not so many resisting horses to consolidate the edges. Therefore, when the expedition forces camp in the evening, they will rely on these resisting horses to dig traps, and the excavated soil can also be piled up. Get up, as an auxiliary to the defense system,
Not only do these horses look messy, but the tents where soldiers rest in the military camp are also quite messy. They don't have that neat feeling at all. The reason why they look like this is mainly to interfere with the enemy's cavalry night attack, because the camp If the passages inside extend in all directions, then the enemy's night attack cavalry will have no obstruction when they rush in. On the other hand, if it looks messy and completely irregular, it will be enough to interfere with the night attack cavalry. Their charging speed will slow down and their formation will become scattered. , and in this chaotic situation, the light cavalry, which has lost its speed and the protection of its comrades, is simply the prey of the infantry.
Under the leadership of Orlando, Ryan and the others quickly arrived at the edge of the military camp. This was due west of the entire military camp, and it was also the direction in which the large group of Clay tribe's cavalry was preparing to attack at night. During the day, due to the blockade of the Fengxing Archers, during the expedition There is no trace of any Clay people on both sides of the army's march route for more than 50 kilometers. If these Clay people plan to go around to other directions at night to launch attacks, they will inevitably make a large circle of dozens of kilometers, which will in turn It consumes a lot of physical strength of soldiers and horses, so if these Clay cavalry really want to attack at night, they can only choose the direction due west, which is the direction where the expeditionary force is most guarded.
The news that Orlando came incognito was not revealed because Orlando did not want to put too much pressure on Jonas. They came all the way west as a night patrol team. After arriving at the destination, Orlando took Ryan with him. We quietly climbed up to the observation deck in the military camp and looked into the distance side by side.
Observation towers like this are piled up from the soil of digging traps. They usually have a height of 7 to 10 meters and are used by sentries to look into the distance. Tonight, Orlando and Ryan happened to use them as a viewing platform to enjoy the upcoming events. A night battle,
