Chapter 221: The Gates of Hell (3)
Seeing his wife leading the magicians of the imperial capital to exert his might, Ryan's heart was very happy, happier than he himself took action, and everything he saw in front of him also made him understand that his previous performance of being too "doting" did hinder the growth of his relatives and friends, and he secretly made up his mind to give the people around him more opportunities to take risks.
"Of course, I'll be well prepared beforehand." Ryan looked at the star robe that Farass was wearing, and said to himself.
"What preparations?" Unexpectedly, Ryan's small voice was heard by Barbara, who was standing nearby, so he interjected and asked.
"Oops!" Barbara's words were asked, and she was hit her head by Ryan, Barbara covered the place where she was beaten by Ryan, and said with self-pity: "It's really annoying, I was scratched by that stone just now, and I don't know if it will affect my skin, and now I'm hitting someone's head again, and sooner or later I will be beaten by the teacher and you will be an idiot, hum!"
Ryan didn't bother with Barbara's words, he had already begun to think about whether to make more high-quality magic items, and then have one for his relatives and friends, so that he could feel more at ease. For example, the Star Robe he recreated can not only store a "Time Stop" magic, but also allow the wearer to prepare a magic below level 6 in advance, and release it at a certain time set by a certain wearer, and if used correctly, it can even save the wearer's life.
Imagine that when the magician wearing this star robe was accidentally attacked by thieves, but the other party helplessly found that the target was suddenly covered with a thick layer of "stone skin magic", or the mirror image left by the "misleading technique" in front of him, no matter which one can make the wearer speak passively and actively, its significance is self-evident.
"Go ahead and search carefully!" Ryan, who was thinking, heard Farah's order in his ears, and he immediately returned to reality, and found that Faraz had eliminated the opponent, and began to command the human army to continue to advance towards the central square of Seke City, where there was the pseudo-palace of the original Senate and many important facilities, although the entire Sek City has now fallen into the hands of the undead army, but when Orlando made the attack plan, it was still the second priority occupation target according to the custom, second only to the entrance to the passage that broke through the city.
With the help of the powerful Magic Legion, the Alliance forces quickly advanced to the center of Seker City, and when Faras stepped onto the solidified molten lava on the ground near the central square of Seker City, she even felt the heat coming from the soles of her feet, as if the solidified molten lava was still emitting terrible heat as it had been that day.
"Wow, teacher, this is your masterpiece, right?" Barbara shouted in surprise, no wonder she had such an expression, because after fighting in the streets of the city for a long time, she suddenly came to a large open space, as if she had returned to the suburbs all of a sudden, and anyone else would have such a mood, but others would not express it loudly like Barbara with Ryan's favor.
Seeing that the surrounding area of several kilometers was all razed to the ground, Faras's heart was still very nervous, although Ryan was standing behind her at the moment, although Farath had heard Ryan personally tell him many times about the battle before, but it was not until he was there that Farath could feel how fierce the battle was, but even if he was encircled like this, Ryan still released a forbidden spell regardless of his own safety and destroyed the Lich Lord's plan, otherwise what the Human Alliance army would face now would never be just some low-level skeleton warriors。
Due to the severe damage caused by the forbidden spell, even the undead legion could not set up a summoning magic circle in this area, and the Faras and their sisters also got a chance to rest after fighting hard for a long time. Who knows how long they didn't rest, Clifford and the others actually arrived in this area, and the two magic legions actually met near the central square of Seker City.
When the Royal Knights led by Orlando also set foot on this land, the entire Seke City suddenly fell into a state of tranquility, and those Thor demons that suddenly appeared were wiped out by the human army, and no new demons appeared, probably because the summoning magic array arranged by the undead army had been completely consumed.
After the remaining undead creatures in the city were cleaned up, this important city connecting the north and south of the continent returned to the hands of humans, but unfortunately because the city was occupied by the undead for a long time, it was not suitable for human habitation in a short time, so General Orlando still chose to camp outside the city.
This attack and defense battle of Seke City is still a big loss to the human alliance, more than 8,000 people were killed in the early part of the city, and more than 1,000 people were permanently lost due to injuries, if it weren't for General Orlando who decisively let the magic legion and the royal knights enter the city in the battle, I am afraid that under the attack of those Thor demons, the human vanguard may be completely annihilated. However, even so, the one-tenth loss still hurt the vitality of the Alliance Crusade army, after all, most of the soldiers were killed by the Thor Demon Formation, and it is not just a matter of replenishing some soldiers to regain their combat effectiveness.
Of course, these things are nerve-wracking things in Orlando, and after the war, Ryan rushed headlong into his tent, even if Faras was there in person, he just chatted casually, and then continued to get busy. In this battle, Ryan finally understood through watching from the sidelines that he used to be too big-packed, although this is a kind of concern, but it also makes his companions unable to improve their strength through the battle of life and death, and their own destiny is in their own hands, Ryan's protection will stifle the growth of the people around him, what he has to do is not to help others fight, but to train them to the maximum extent before the battle, so that they have the strength to protect themselves and survive in the cruel war. In order to achieve this goal, Ryan began to think about making magic items for the people around him, such magic items should not only serve the purpose of protecting them at critical moments, but also not make them feel dependent, which is not an easy task.
During this busy time in Ryan, the human army carried out a series of rests, and in just three days, 90,000 elite soldiers recovered 7 or 8 percent of their combat effectiveness, although under Orlando's orders, the Alliance army marched towards Seabreeze City, the third and final target of this crusade.
Since the previous two victories were relatively smooth, the alliance was very optimistic about getting a third victory and thus achieving the final victory of the entire crusade, and when the entire army arrived on the outskirts of Seabreeze City, this sentiment even reached its peak, so that several qualified commanders approached Orlando in the hope that their subordinates could be the first army to attack Seawind City.
In view of this situation, Orlando was a little worried in his heart, but his military situation from Cassano, the imperial capital and other places also made him have no choice, because just before and after the alliance army attacked Seke City, the vanguard of the half-demon army had already left the dwarven Black Rock City and appeared near Cassano and Mochizuki City, and there was a low-intensity conflict with the garrison army, and the two sides won and lost each other. This situation has already indicated that the Alliance army will soon be in a situation where the enemy is on its back, so Orlando must take Seawind City as quickly as possible, and then turn the main force back to the western defense line to resist the attack of the Half-Demon army and defend the main force of the Undead Legion that is currently lost.
Seabreeze City is surrounded by the sea on three sides, only there is a city gate in the west, and more than ten kilometers outside the city gate are flat hills, which can be deployed with large-scale troops, but because Seabreeze City is not very large, the troops that can really be invested at one time will not exceed 5,000 people, and if you rely on this number to attack the city, it is likely that you will not be able to suppress the defenders on the city wall because of insufficient troops, and additional losses are certain. However, if he attacked from the waterway, there were no ships on Orlando's side, and time reasons could not make him patiently wait for the imperial capital fleet to sail from Sunrise City in the north, so Orlando once again set his sights on the magic army that accompanied the army.
Although the title of the Magic Legion has appeared for a long time, there are not many opportunities for them to really play their role, but the recent battle in Seker City has made the Magic Legion shine, and their cooperation with each other has gradually moved away from the mode of the magician fighting alone, and has turned to be as layered and rhythmic as the army, of course, there are still many shortcomings, which Orlando knows very well, and he also knows better that if the Magic Legion can one day deal with this series of problems perfectly, then it is the moment when the Magic Legion really becomes an army, and at that time, various examples in the history of human warfare are likely to be rewritten, and the hoplites, who have created countless outstanding achievements, may withdraw from the stage of war.
And if you want the magic legion to become an army one day earlier, you must give them enough opportunities, so that the magicians can slowly accumulate experience in actual combat, so Orlando made up his mind and handed over the task of conquering the walls of Seabreeze City to the magic legions of Faraz and Clifford, of course, in order to prevent the two magic legions of different inheritances from having problems with cooperation, Orlando still divided the walls of Seabreeze City into two areas, and let the two of them be responsible for one of them, and Ryan and Alendor still belong to a magic legion like Seke City, and when the city is broken, these magic legions will also take on the task of protecting the front part, so that you don't have to worry about any terrible minions.
