Chapter 393: On the Eve of the Catastrophe
When the orcs stepped on the Thor Fortress, the Beast Emperor immediately ordered the most powerful mammoth army under his command to approach the human Sunrise City, and captured this port city of great significance to mankindto any point on the eastern coastline of the South Taron Prairie.
In order to establish a sea route, the Beast Emperor, at the suggestion of the prophet Evan, chose a well-located location on the east coast of the North Talon Prairie, spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources to build a port city, and called it according to the place name: "Wanghai Cliff Castle", from here, it only takes ten days for the Orc Bear to reach Sunrise City, and if you are well prepared, you can even go all the way south to Sea Breeze City.
The leader of the Mammoth Legion, Ray, who had not long been ordered to ship the captives captured by the Bear Tribes in the Northern Talon Prairie for use by their ally, the human lord Sennat, had received a new order, and it was the Beast Emperor's henchman, the Prophet Evan, who had come to convey this order.
At the beginning, because the Barbarian Bear Clan was greatly injured in the defense of the imperial capital, the Beast Emperor had to choose the strategy of shrinking the defense, and all the captured South Talon grasslands made people have formed an alliance to subvert the three orc clans ruled by the Barbarian Bear Clan, and the Barbarian Bear Clan retreated to the north in an all-round way.
After enjoying a comfortable life, the three major orc clans have been corrupted and degraded to varying degrees, while the Barbarian Bear Clan, which continues to suffer from the severe cold, quietly fights everywhere and annihilates the other clans that refuse to surrender one by one.
Four years later, after annexing more than thirty other orc clans, the Barbarian Bear Clan returned to its peak number, and the quiet Beast Emperor also received the news from his ally Nicholas, after making corresponding preparations, the Orc Barbarian Bear Tribe has reassembled its forces in the Beast Blood Fort in the North Talon Grassland, preparing to go south to join the new war, and the first problem they have to face is the three major orc clans blocking the Thor Fortress.
After learning the news of the Barbarian Bear Clan's southward movement, the leaders of the three major orc clans hurriedly gathered together, but unfortunately they couldn't come up with a better way after discussing it for a long time, so they could only choose to camp their troops at the pass of the Thor Fortress, relying on the natural dangers here to resist the Barbarian Bear Clan's southward movement, and it was their human enemy who did so at the beginning, which has to be said to be a huge irony.
Just when the orcs were facing off from the north to the south, a huge change also occurred in the south of the continent, and the Free Paradise, one of the three main forces that formed the Southern Freedom Alliance, announced its separation from the alliance under the leadership of the leader Chilaviv, and re-chose a neutral route, and from that moment on, the head of the entire Freedom Paradise Merchant Alliance immediately disappeared without a trace, no matter how Senate and Mochizuki City looked, it was difficult to find their traces, even if they wanted to deal with them, they were helpless.
Without the huge financial support of the Free Paradise, the Southern Liberty Alliance immediately fell into trouble, and the first to bear the brunt was Senat, and if he could not find new support, then the 300,000 troops of Seker City would be hungry in three months. In order to solve this problem, Seker once again adjusted the tax rate, so that the tax revenue of the area ruled by Senate reached an unprecedented 50%, and more than 80% of the annual tax revenue was invested in the military, which obviously could not be sustained, if Senate could not start a war in a short time, then his rule was likely to fall apart.
Mochizuki City became very calm, and the six-member council only held a long meeting for three days and three nights, and there was no movement again. However, according to some vague rumors, the six-member council of Mochizuki City had a big fight at this meeting, and they did not reach any consensus for the first time in history, and the two different opinions repeatedly and violently collided, which eventually led to the split of the six-member council. Of course, this kind of information is impossible to verify, and there doesn't seem to be any strange change in the six-member council, except that the members of the six-member council have not gathered together since that meeting.
For all the news in the south, Ryan who was in Cassano didn't put it on him, he put all his thoughts on his legendary mage cultivation plan, Vivian and Adela were forcibly transferred to mages by Ryan at the first time, and with the help of the soul contract he signed with them, he lent Ryan's own mana to them, although Vivien and Adela could only borrow a small part of Ryan's power, but this was indeed a good start.
After clarifying the relationship with the elven queen Freya, Freya quickly integrated into Lane's life, and Faras and the others quickly accepted this new partner, and Faras herself was even faintly proud of Lane in her heart, knowing that not every man can get the heart of the elf queen, which is countless times more difficult than being promoted to the legendary realm.
After Ryan had Freya as a partner, he immediately got the wisdom she inherited from the elf queens of the past, and with Freya's help, Ryan's entire "Legendary Mage Cultivation Plan" went very smoothly, especially in the enchantment skills, Ryan's level is even more advanced, after all, compared to Ryan's short period of learning this technology, the elves have spent tens of thousands of years on it, and this kind of precipitation of years is not something that a genius can make up.
Since Vivien was pregnant, Ryan only asked her to meditate every day to maintain her sense of magic, while for Adra, Ryan increased her training and found time to reforge a set of armor for her. Originally, it was impossible for a magician to wear metal armor, because metal and magic elements were mutually exclusive, but Adela's own magical power was borrowed from Ryan, not her own, and the armor forged by Ryan for her was completely made of Mithril, which is the only metal that does not repel the elements, and naturally will not have any adverse effects on Adela when wearing it.
After months of practice, Adela has become a little better, when she wears a full-body Mithril rune armor, holds Andrew's two-handed sword, and suddenly uses cold arrows from time to time in the fierce battle, smashing a large number of magic missiles into the enemy's vital points, even Ceress is helpless against her, as long as she does not use the Hydra longbow, then the arrows fired by Seres will not be able to penetrate Adela's Mithril rune armor at all, and although he can rely on his speed to get out of Adela's melee attack range, it is difficult to dodge Ryan's original "Missile Storm" , it wasn't one or two, but a full 24 of them could be sent out with a wave of his hand, directly covering any direction that Seres could dodge.
On Barbara's side, Ryan selected a hundred diligent and loyal magic apprentices, and Barbara was naturally among them, all of whom were descendants of the people of Cassano, and their families were able to have a happy life today because of Ryan's arrival, which was naturally trustworthy. Through an arcane ritual obtained from Galib, Ryan signed a magic contract with the 100 magic apprentices and himself, and then lent them his magical powers.
Due to the previous lesson, Ryan did not sign the kind of soul contract that Vivien and Adela did, but only maintained a master-servant relationship with these magic apprentices, and they could only borrow his magical power from here by relying on Ryan, and once these people had the idea of betraying Ryan in their minds, then Ryan would immediately know about it, and the entire channel for borrowing mana would be terminated immediately.
In this way, Barbara and the others will not get as much benefit as Adela and them, but it is enough for these magic apprentices to reach an amazing point, when Barbara has practiced for a period of time according to the method recorded in Ryan's diary, she can also release seven magic missiles at a time, or three fireballs like Ryan did before, and these 100 apprentices because they have signed a magic contract with Ryan, their minds can also be easily adjusted together, using the "combination magic array casting" At that time, they were full of tacit understanding with each other, and they could already skillfully release seventh-level magic, which was almost at the top level of the mage, and Barbara's Death Scythe Magic Legion finally had the strength to compete with high-level mages.
The process of drawing magic circles on human bodies is also going very well, and Ryan's first experimenter was Bard. The bard, who had been living almost his life after taking refuge with Ryan, agreed without hesitation after learning that he might break through the limit, and fully cooperated with Ryan to draw a magic circle with a special magic ink on his chest, back, arms, thighs, etc., in order to make these inks not change the position of any lines before drying, Bard actually maintained a posture for three days, which even Ryan admired his perseverance.
When Bard walked up to the practice field with trepidation, he quickly became excited, because Ryan had drawn a concentrated magic circle on him, which was equivalent to turning Bard's body into a magic object, and he could use his usual time to slowly gather the free magic elements around him, and then release them when needed.
Although at present, Bard can only release twenty fireballs or a hundred magic missiles at one time, and he can also choose three level 5 magic fire blast techniques, but this is not all his strength, as long as Bud practices diligently every day, he can slowly increase the upper limit of his mana storage, which means that he still has a lot of potential in the future.
After a busy few months, Ryan finally waited for his happiest moment, with the cry of "Wow Wow", Ryan's first child was born in this world, this day was March 11, 207 in the Bright Calendar, and on the same day in the south, Seke City Lord Senat once again launched a military attack on the territory of the imperial capital, sounding the horn of this catastrophe.
