Chapter 40: Mochizuki City's Counterattack (2)

Since the Cassano army launched an attack on Mochizuki Castle in the early morning, the war has begun for a full 6 hours.

However, when the sword saint Oswald dragged Ryan's main force to death on the long street of the moon for 2 hours with his own life, Mochizuki City seemed to finally get a respite, and soon the soldiers in the city were organized, and many young men who had been fleeing everywhere were also temporarily conscripted into the army, issued with spears and other weapons, and they began to resist on the spot under the command of the officers sent by Julius and Vlad.

Although this improvised resistance was not enough to stop the footsteps of the Cassano army, the speed of Lane's attack gradually slowed down, after all, the constant fighting would still consume the physical strength of the Cassano warrior and the mana of the magic apprentice.

In addition, because the streets of Mochizuki City were artificially filled with various obstacles to block the speed of Cassano's army, the wind archers could no longer gallop on the streets as before, fortunately, Ryan thought of this in advance, and had already given the order to gather the army through Adra's adjutant when Adela and Oswald were fighting, so in the afternoon, Cassano's three troops gathered together again and slowly advanced at a not fast speed, their target was the Moon Creek Square located several streets away, and at the other end of the square, it was where the headquarters of the Magic Guild of Moon City was located。

For Ryan's marching route, Mochizuki City is also well aware, after all, this is their territory, Mochizuki City has activated large and small surveillance magic arrays throughout the city since the day it was established, this magic array uses "magic eyes", "farsightedness", and "wizard's eyes" The annual expenditure of 60 million gold coins has been exchanged for thousands of years of peace and tranquility in Mochizuki City, and the roads here are not forgotten and never closed at night, and the reputation of "Magic Capital" has also been achieved.

"Boom!" A series of fireball explosions came, and a large number of temporary obstacles in front of Cassano's army were directly burned by the flames, and those Mochizuki City warriors who originally planned to rely on these obstacles to resist stubbornly, or the soldiers who were temporarily conscripted, did not expect the war to be so one-sided, and they thought that the battle should be as described by those bards, the two sides relied on temporary fortifications to fight repeatedly, and defended their homes with their own blood. Unfortunately, these naïve and enthusiastic citizens finally collapsed, and except for a few who were shot by Cassano's popular marksmen, the vast majority of the others abandoned their weapons and fled.

"Mr. Lane, the more we kill now, the more difficult it will be to rule here in the future, and this kind of hatred will be difficult to resolve in a short period of time. Letots, a hunter, looked at the battlefield littered with corpses in front of him, and said worriedly beside Ryan.

Ryan waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "As long as we don't take pleasure in killing, then it doesn't matter, war always kills people, if you have a choice, it is naturally better to kill our enemy." ”

"But ......" Letoz was a little anxious in his heart, now that the vast majority of the entire Silent Forest Hunter Tribal Alliance has been merged into Cassano, it can be said that in addition to living in that land for less than the aborigines, they have almost all become authentic Cassano people, and they naturally have to think from Cassano's perspective when things happen.

Ryan listened to Letoz's words, and knew in his heart that they had already regarded themselves as Cassano people, and he naturally had to occasionally divulge some thoughts to them to show his trust in Lettoz and the power he represented behind him, because Ryan nodded Letoz slightly: "Do you think that the imperial capital is relieved to hand over this magical capital to Cassano management?"

"Uh......" Ryan's casual remark made Lettoz shut his mouth. In fact, if it weren't for the existence of Lane, even if Cassano's population and territory expanded tenfold, it would be impossible to be on an equal footing with the imperial capital, but now this area, whose population is not as large as a large manor in the imperial capital, has become an ally of the imperial capital.

The imperial capital of Fernando City is home to one-third of the entire continent's population, and its military and magical power are extremely powerful, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has an overwhelming advantage in this land. It was only for some reason that all the other forces that opposed the imperial capital were secretly united, and the imperial capital also had various problems due to its own reasons, which became the north-south confrontation not long ago.

Now that Cassano's army has entered Mochizuki Castle, it can be said that this north-south confrontation has been broken. When the advantage of the war slowly moved closer to the imperial capital, it was only a matter of time before the imperial capital and the Cassano alliance won the final victory. Once the opposition in the south was defeated, Cassano was naturally in front of everyone. Although it is in Cassano's own interests, Letoz and the others certainly hope that Cassano can occupy more land and population, but no matter how open-minded the imperial capital is, it is impossible to sit idly by and watch another force that threatens its rule in the south appear, otherwise even if everyone can be safe and sound when Ryan and Faraz are there, then what about a hundred years later? Wouldn't it be a repeat of today's north-south confrontation.

"Understood, right?" Ryan smiled indifferently and said casually: "The purpose of our coming this time is nothing more than three points, first, to establish merit, second, to show force, and third, to train troops in actual combat. ”

"Well, my subordinates understand, thank you Mr. Ryan for your trust!" "Letoz still didn't understand Ryan's intentions, he saluted Ryan with a grateful face, lowered his voice and said: "Our hunter tribe used to wander everywhere and suffered a lot of hardships, and now that Mr. Ryan has taken us in, we have long regarded Cassano as our home. ”

Ryan nodded solemnly and patted Letoz on the shoulder, who lowered his head and slowly retreated. After a few meters away from Ryan's side, Lettoz turned around and strode forward. Ryan had already made it very clear just now, and he naturally had to perform well in this battle of Mochizuki City.

Ryan looked at Letoz's back, and smiled slightly in his heart, he attacked Mochizuki City this time, although the elven queen Freya and the dwarf king Reynolds also came with a lot of retinues, but Ryan asked them to protect Cassano's logistics troops outside the city and did not let them join the battle. On the one hand, Ryan did this because of the emotional problems of the elves, after all, the city was built by their ancestors with the help of humans, and it would be a little unreasonable to let them participate in the attack. There is another point, that is, a little bit of selfishness on the part of Ryan, who hopes that the three elite troops he has built can make a name for himself through this battle and show Cassano's powerful force.

When it comes to the imperial capital, people will think of the Royal Knights with invincible records, when they talk about the steppe, people will naturally think of the light cavalry of the Clay tribe, and when they talk about Mochizuki City, then everyone will agree with the reputation of the magic capital. In Ryan's heart, he hopes that when someone mentions Cassano, they will also think of Cassano's three elite troops at the same time, as long as they have such a prestige, then Cassano's people can better survive on this continent, because anyone who has ambitions there will weigh in advance whether they can deal with Cassano's Guards Legion, Windrun Legion and Magic Legion, and whether they can withstand the wrath of the legendary mage Ryan.

Now that the whole situation is proceeding step by step according to Ryan's vision, Mochizuki City has finally begun a limited counterattack, in the eyes of Ryan, who has experience in defending the imperial capital, everything in front of him means that Mochizuki City has deployed heavy troops somewhere in his forward route, ready to fight to the death with himself, and between here and Mochizuki City Magic Guild, the only area that can place a large army can only be Yuexi Square.

Due to the many magic prohibitions in Mochizuki City, even as a legendary mage, Ryan could not overlook the entire city with magic, and he could only monitor the limited area around him with his own strength, which was of course enough to warn the enemy before he launched a sneak attack.

Of course, Ryan can't directly attack the entire Mochizuki City with a forbidden spell, but that would be meaningless for the future rule of the empire, and it would make the demigod lich in the other world pick up a big bargain. Moreover, once Mochizuki City is destroyed, high-level mages like Blair and Catherine will have no worries at all, then important areas such as Cassano and the Imperial Capital will inevitably fall into the dangerous realm of being attacked by forbidden spells, and Ryan can prevent them for a day, a month, or a year, but they can't strictly defend these areas for the rest of their lives, as long as they are negligent for ten minutes, the forbidden spell will come to the earth.

Therefore, in Ryan's view, the forbidden spell is just a means of deterrence, and his mana must be used to deal with Catherine and others, only by defeating these opponents and convincing them, the imperial capital and Cassano will not have worries, and Blair Although they were defeated, they were in the consideration of interests, unless they were mad and wanted to drag the entire people of Mochizuki City to die together, they would inevitably choose to give in and return to the imperial capital camp, so that Ryan and they could gather the power of the Mochizuki City Magic Guild to strengthen themselves, in order to face the undead army that did not know when it would come to this continent。

"Mr. Ryan, the scout in front has discovered the traces of the Moon City Legion!It's just 1 kilometer away in the Moon Creek Square!" The scout's voice came, which made Ryan's heart lift, if the previous war was just an appetizer, then now the main course is about to be played, Ryan waved his hand and said loudly: "Cassano, forward, conquer everything we see!"
