Ryan sat in the middle of the ballroom, congratulating from his friends, Vivian, Adra, Elendo, Shaina, Serres, Franner, Adams, Sophie, Bard, Letoz, Barbara, ...... Everyone blessed the youngest legendary mage on the continent from the bottom of their hearts, and was sincerely happy that he was able to achieve what he is today.

At noon, Faras and the others arrived at Tekken Castle through the teleportation magic array, where Victor, Orlando, Hamfest, Red, Androkos, Minsk, Melinda, Elena, and even the Empire's little emperor, Fernando Harold, arrived.

Seeing his friends who share their weal and woe gathered around him, Ryan is also indescribably happy, he uses squeezing methods to desperately learn magic for, not for today's occasion, to be able to see his friends can live happily, Ryan himself will also feel happy.

And when Ryan's birthday party was going on, Iron Fist Castle and even the entire Cassano also fell into a sea of joy, in order to prepare for today's feast, Adela and Vivian and other Cassano rulers allocated a lot of materials and money, and distributed them free of charge today, and announced that every year on Ryan's birthday, the entire Cassano will be on holiday, so that the people here can cheer to their heart's content, and when Ryan received Cassano officials at the banquet, he announced that he would continue to reduce Cassano's taxes, and the fifteen% tax and stable living environment also made Cassano the most livable city on the mainland, and the cheers of the people of Cassano echoed through the land.

On the day that Ryan left Paradise of Freedom, the president of the Dorlock Business Alliance, Chilaviv, also rushed to Cassano himself, hoping to meet Ryan, and with the help of money, Chilaviv arrived at Tekken Castle only one day later than Ryan, just in time for Ryan's birthday party. However, Chilaviv was very self-aware, and he only sent someone to bring it to Ryan with the rich gifts he had prepared, while he himself found a place to stay in Tekken Castle and waited for Ryan's reception.

The feast lasted from morning to late at night, and everyone went home, but Victor, Orlando, and Faras stayed, and the little king Harold did not know where Barbara had taken him. Ryan sent his friends away one by one, then motioned for Orlando to wait a little while he himself went to his parents' place first.

Ryan's parents were held in Cassano in the utmost esteem, and Vivien and Adela came to accompany them from time to time. After seeing their son achieve such power and power, Ryan's parents were also happy for their child. Today is Ryan's birthday, and of course his parents remember it clearly, but they were kind enough not to go to Ryan's birthday party, after all, the two of them are elders, and if they get involved, it will make Ryan's friends unable to enjoy themselves.

When Ryan pushed open the door of his parents' residence and walked into the room, he saw several of his favorite foods on the table, and in the past, his mother would make him a portion for his birthday every year, so that Ryan could enjoy the delicious food to his heart's content. Although Ryan is now famous, and has not eaten this kind of food that seems to be a little rudimentary now, in his heart, there is no food as delicious as his mother's own hand.

Without too many words, the Ryan family sat around and quietly enjoyed the family fun. Ryan sat on the table and slowly tasted his mother's craftsmanship, after five years, the food made by his mother was still so delicious, and Ryan's mother watched her son eat everything he made one bite at a time, and her heart was very happy.

After Ryan swept away the food on the table, Ryan's father patted his son on the shoulder and said to him, "You are 21 years old, and you have your own wife, so you can live independently." I know you have a lot to do, so you have to always think about home, men have to do something well, and the eaglet can only grow up if it flies alone. ”

"In your absence, the Faras often come to see us, which makes us very happy, your mother and I are just hunters who don't know anything, but we can have a daughter-in-law of noble birth like them, and I am happy for you, everything you get today is obtained from your own efforts, I am far inferior to you at your age. ”

"I've heard about your previous events, and I was a little uncomfortable at first, but then I slowly figured it out, it's like I go into the mountains to hunt, and I kill only to survive, and when I face a fierce beast, there is usually only one choice, which is to face it bravely, either it dies or I die. And it's definitely cowardly behavior to turn around and run away, and how can a two-legged man outrun a four-legged beast?"

"There's just one thing you have to remember, Ryan, my son. Ryan's father said solemnly to Ryan, "Remember what I said when you were young? But I heard from Faraz that your strength has become very strong now, and there are not many people in the entire continent who can defeat you. I don't know magic, but I know what it means. Ryan, when a person has great power, it is easy to fall because of the desires of the heart, because your power can protect yourself from punishment after doing something wrong!"

"My son, I still remember you very clearly, and you swore in front of me that you would be a man who could protect your relatives and friends. However, if one day you become a person who is dominated by desires, and can kill innocents indiscriminately for your own interests, or even bring disaster to the mainland, then you will no longer be my son. Of course, I think that when you really reach that time, you will no longer care about the family relationship between our father and son, mother and son. ”

When Ryan left his parents' residence, his father's words still echoed in his ears, and of course he knew very well why his father said this, but Ryan was also very glad that at least so far, Ryan had not fallen because of power and desire. Walking through the courtyard of Iron Fist Castle, Ryan secretly warns himself in his heart that he must remember the words of his parents at all times, because his parents are the people who love him the most in this world.

By the time Ryan returned to the council chamber, more than an hour had passed since the banquet ended, but Orlando was still waiting there without tire. After seeing Ryan return, Victor waved his hand, signaling that Ryan didn't have to say any more polite words, and directly opened his mouth to get into the subject.

"Ryan, we are here today, of course, to congratulate you, on becoming the youngest legendary mage on the continent, and on your 21st birthday. But now that we're together, it's time to discuss our future strategy. Of course, Orlando is more familiar with these situations, so let him talk about it. ”

Victor's simple opening remarks shifted the conversation to Orlando, who stood up, walked to the topographical map of the continent hanging on the wall, and said to Ryan: "I believe you are also very clear that after clearing the threat of the Clay tribe, we are now faced with a choice, whether to go north to retake the Thor Fortress first, or to go south to quell the rebellion of Senat? ”

"It seems very simple to go north to the Thor Fortress and have a main battle with the orcs on the prairie again, but when the Thor Fortress fell four years ago, the orcs captured Sunrise City overnight, which is obviously of strategic significance. Four years is enough time for the orcs to master the most advanced navigation and shipbuilding skills of our human race, and even if we recapture Thor's Fortress, we still won't be able to stop them north of the Hengduan Mountains, because they can take ships to get from or around the moat. ”

"In this way, in order to completely solve this hidden danger, we must go all the way north, be sure to destroy the main force of the orc army as we did against the Clay tribe, and also shake the foundation of the orc rule, that is quite a difficult thing, because we are completely unfamiliar with the Northern Talon savannah, and it is more likely that we will not adapt to the cold climate over there, and we do not know the specific location of the main force of the orcs at all. ”

"And if we choose the south, then when our army goes south, the rear will be attacked by the orcs at any time, I have calculated, this will at least drag our 300,000 troops, so that our troops going south will fall into an embarrassing situation of insufficiency, and the further south we go, the more prominent this problem becomes, after all, the south is also the territory of the empire, we can't use the means to deal with the Clay tribe to expel us, we must garrison troops, which will make our troops even more stretched. ”

"So it's not the best option to occupy it directly with the army!" Ryan thought about Orlando's words and said, "This is another reason why I am using the forbidden spell deterrence in the Free Paradise, and today Kiraviv of the Dorlock Business Alliance has come to Tekken Castle, and he has sent a congratulatory gift, and left his address, waiting for my reception. Perhaps we can divide the forces of the Southern Freedom Alliance first, and then attack Seker City or Mochizuki City with superior forces to break up the opponent's offensive and defensive alliances. ”

Orlando and Victor looked at each other and smiled, while Faras said to Ryan: "Actually, this is another purpose of our coming here, we must negotiate a plan so that Free Heaven can break away from the Southern Freedom Alliance, so that Seke City and Mochizuki City, which belong to the east and west of the continent, will be blocked from it, so that we can calmly choose one of them to launch a surprise attack." ”

Ryan pointed to Mochizuki City on the map and said to Faraz: "I have an idea, since there are many magicians in Mochizuki City, and the army of Seke City is huge, then the emperor can press more than 200,000 elite troops in the area of Moli Town, giving Senate enough threat, and Cassano's army plus all the masters of our two families will conduct a surprise attack on Mochizuki City to try to solve this trouble at once." ”

"However, how can we break through the northern defense line of Mochizuki City? after all, except for a few of us, it is impossible for other warriors to avoid the detection of Mochizuki City's magician's 'Magical Divine Eye'!" said Faraz.

"It's easy, Fani, let's go over here!" Ryan put his hand in the Silent Forest south of Mochizuki City, "Using Mozuki City as a springboard, suddenly appearing in the rear of Mochizuki City, 5000 Wind Archer and 5000 Magic Legions are enough to deal a fatal blow to Mochizuki City." As for Blair and Catherine, leave it to us. ”
