Ryan waited until everyone had laughed. He continued: "A lot of people are looking at whether and how much of a role they can play when these elites come together? ”

"Everyone knows that we humans are very difficult to compete with strong orcs individually, and according to the simplified calculation method on the continent, one orc can fight against five humans, and I think everyone knows what that means. However, this is not entirely the case, and I think there should be a premise in this sentence, which is that one orc can fight against five disunited humans. If we humans can unite, for example, with a phalanx of 3,000 people, we can fight against an equal number of orcs. ”

"In this phalanx, each member is no longer an individual person, but a member of the group. You must trust your comrades thoroughly, because your flanks and rear can only be handed over to your comrades, and no matter what happens, even if you die in battle, you can't shake it. In the entire phalanx, as long as one person turns around and flees, it will affect the others, and even cause the entire phalanx to collapse. ”

Ryan's speech has deeply attracted everyone present, and even many residents of the imperial capital who are watching the excitement on the periphery have listened to it with relish. Ryan didn't have much energy to care about that, he was now completely immersed in his speech, and he used almost all his strength to shout out every word in order to make his voice reach every corner.

"The attack and defense of Thor's fortress has proved this very well, in Camp 1, hundreds of thousands of elite warriors were easily slaughtered by tens of thousands of orcs, and only more than 10,000 escaped, while the orcs only lost a few hundred. This example will definitely shock many people with the combat effectiveness of the orcs, and some people may have an inexplicable fear of the orcs from then on, but I would like to cite another example, which happened after the previous example. When the defeated soldiers arrived at Camp 2, General Jonas gathered them and formed a temporary defensive line with less than 3,000 of them to slow down the orc attack and buy time for everyone to retreat. The orcs, on the other hand, sent an elite force, about 10,000 people, to rush over mercilessly. ”

"This time, the orcs encountered the strongest resistance of our humans, and the soldiers who were temporarily gathered after the defeat of the thousands not only blocked the onslaught of the ten thousand orcs, but also killed more than seven thousand opponents, and even collapsed this orc army. This is also very rare in the history of human warfare. Ladies and gentlemen, why did two battles with completely different outcomes occur on the same day? Why were hundreds of thousands of human armies slaughtered by tens of thousands of orcs, and the remnants of these hundreds of thousands of human armies could in turn kill more than 7,000 orc pursuers and defeat the orc army that pursued them?"

"It's very simple, it's because of unity! Because we humans are firmly united! On this continent, orcs, dwarves, elves, gnomes, and all kinds of demonic beasts each race have their own unique place, which is also the biggest reason why that race can be passed down to the present. And we humans alone are not too good compared to these races, we are more average in all aspects, and we don't seem to be outstanding. But why is it that we humans dominate the whole continent? Why not graceful elves? Not strong orcs? Not brave dwarves? Not intelligent gnomes? What are not terrifyingly powerful monsters, such as dragons?"

"The answer is simple, because we are united! We are not superior individually, but we can be perfectly united, and thousands of individual forces can come together and merge into a powerful force that even the most powerful creatures, the Elder Dragons, will look at at each other. There is no perfect individual, only a perfect team! The greatest reliance of our human beings on this continent is unity, and this unity can only be achieved by strict discipline. ”

"As I said earlier, a makeshift infantry phalanx of less than 3,000 men defeated 10,000 orc pursuers and killed more than 7,000 men, and that's what we relied on. I think you may be curious about how the squad I personally commanded, a squad of 50 elite members of the army, performed during the Thor Fortress. Before announcing this result, I must emphasize that the whole team carried out my orders perfectly, and they were closely together, even Colin and Thomas, who fought seven times a day, completely abandoned their personal grievances when carrying out the order, and it was the discipline forged with iron and blood that finally achieved this seemingly good record. ”

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, Colin and Thomas, who were standing below, almost unanimously said in a voice that only he could hear, "Not bad? That's a number that a man can't get up to when he hears it." ”

"Squadron Leader Colin!" Ryan suddenly shouted loudly.

Colin almost subconsciously stood upright, and then replied, "Sir, here, sir!"

Ryan looked at this elite archer who fought with him in a bloody battle, and had been promoted from squad leader to squadron leader because of his merits, and asked loudly: "Please tell everyone, what is the record achieved by all members of Ryan's team during their time in Thor's fortress?"

Colin thought for a moment and immediately replied, "Report to the chief, there are 53 members of Lane's team, including one team leader, one deputy leader, one recording officer, and 50 members. During this attack and defense of Thor's Fortress, a total of 12,977 orcs were killed!"

As soon as Colin's number was announced, the scene was immediately chaotic, and nearly 13,000 orcs were killed in the hands of a team of only 50 people, which is simply incredible. But none of the people heard Colin add another sentence in his stomach, that is: "About 9,000 of these 10,000 people were killed by Ryan alone, you are really a fucking pervert! And that Elendo, although he only killed less than 1,000 people, but that bloody scene, I still don't dare to eat meat for a whole month."

In fact, Ryan also knows this data, because the entire number is counted by Bart, which is also the biggest reason for him to keep Bart, who is not very good at fighting, by his side. If you take away the nearly 10,000 people killed by Ryan himself and Allendo, based on the 50 people of Colin and them, but they also killed more than 3,000 orcs, although this record is also very outstanding, but it is definitely not so shocking.

Ryan waited for a while, letting the people below digest the news, and then he saw that the time was almost up, so he coughed slightly, but the chaotic scene below suddenly became silent, and everyone looked at Ryan quietly, waiting for Ryan to continue to speak. Ryan was stunned, he didn't expect this number to achieve another effect, but this was exactly what he expected.

"Having said all this, I just want to emphasize one point, I know that many family members, relatives, friends, and comrades-in-arms have died in the war, but now is not the time to grieve, the only thing we have to do now is to take up arms, whether it is the empire or our own future, we can only defend it with iron and blood! In order to win the final victory, please do one thing that a soldier must do, that is, obey discipline and obey orders. The characteristics of human beings are destined to become the most united race on this continent, for the sake of the families behind us, let us hold the weapons in our hands, form the tightest phalanx, and never retreat no matter what happens, even if it costs our lives. And we, the human race, will definitely win the final victory in this war!"

"Victory, victory, victory, victory, victory!" all the fighters, encouraged by Lane's impassioned speech, became boiling, and they vigorously raised their right hands and chanted slogans together. The whole scene also drove the surrounding residents of the imperial capital, and gradually, everyone present joined in the cheers.

Alendor and Franner looked at the high Lane with satisfaction, they found that Lane, who had always been taciturn, could say such an inspiring speech, and it seemed that their Lane Regiment Leader had gradually become mature after experiencing the baptism of war.

"Great, Ryan!" Jonas said to Ryan, standing in his lounge, which was also the tent where military affairs were handled, "You have done me a great favor." Since returning from Thor's Fortress, the morale of the army has not been high, and now with your words, I believe that they will be more engaged in military training, as long as I give me a little more time, I will definitely be able to build an elite army. ”

Ryan and his party sat on the blankets on the floor, but everyone's faces weren't as happy as Jonas's. Ryan pointed to the blanket on the ground, motioned for Jonas to sit down, and then lowered his voice and said to him, "There's no time." ”

"Oh?" Jonas looked stunned, he didn't understand what Ryan meant.

Ryan sighed, he really didn't want to hit Jonas, but he had to say it: "General Jonas, I got a secret report from the scouts last night, about 170 kilometers north of the imperial capital, and the traces of the orc vanguard have been found!"

"What!" Jonas's face was solemn, he wouldn't be stupid enough to ask again: "Is the news true?" If Ryan didn't get the exact news, would he have eaten enough and had nothing to do to entertain him? Jonas settled down and said to Ryan: "170 kilometers, which means that as long as the orcs advance with all their strength, they will reach the imperial capital in three days at most." ”

"Yes. However, I personally estimate that it should not be so fast, because the imperial capital is too big, and if the main force of the orc troops does not arrive, their vanguard will not rush to approach the city wall. Moreover, we have burned a lot of the supplies of Thor's fortress, maybe the orcs will go and loot those farms outside the imperial capital first to ensure their supplies. Even if the orcs still have hundreds of thousands of elite troops, but this time they are facing our imperial capital after all, and the number of people exceeds them by dozens of times. ”

"It's also possible, it looks like I'm going to speed up the training of these soldiers. Jonas pun on it, "We're running out of time, and they're running out of time." Train a little more now and maybe survive a few more. ”
