Chapter 24: The Battle of Mochizuki Castle
Left the dwarven underground city. Ryan and the others immediately found themselves in the dense forest, according to Freya's explanation, this should be the depths of the Silent Forest, and there is an elven ruin not far away, so that the communication channel between the elves and the dwarves does not have to pass through the area where humans gather, and naturally they avoid showing their faces in front of humans.
The depths of the Silent Forest are naturally filled with countless powerful magical beasts, but the entire 15,000 warriors under Ryan are even more terrifying for these powerful magical beasts, and with the queen's personal guards around Freya as scouts, they can avoid risks in advance, and they walk in the Silent Forest as if they are playing in their own backyard, without any danger at all.
With the elven companion as a guide, Ryan and the others only spent 5 days to reach the edge of the Silent Forest, which is less than 1 day away from Mochizuki City, but Mochizuki City is unaware of Ryan's existence, because the main defense direction of Mochizuki City is Cassano in the north, and only some scouts are arranged in the south, but whether the terrain is familiar or not, how can these people compare to the hunters who lived here in the previous generation, such as Letoz.
When his subordinates were resting, Ryan took Freya and Reynolds and others to take advantage of the moonlight to sneak into less than 30 kilometers of Mochizuki City to see this historic magic city up close.
The city is strange to Ryan, but it is completely different for Freya, even if she closes her eyes, she can accurately describe most of the details of the city, all because the entire city has not changed much in thousands of years since it was built, and Freya naturally understands it clearly through the memories passed down by the elven queens of the past generations.
Soon, Ryan and Freya discussed the details of the attack, the main purpose of their visit this time was to force Mochizuki City to submit, so they had to prove that they could cause irreparable damage to the city in the shortest possible time, so that the six-member council of Mochizuki City would compromise with Ryan and them in order to avoid that possible crisis. If this is not done, once the two sides break out into an endless war, then Ryan's long-range will be a failure, even if he can have the absolute upper hand, but with Cassano's team of 15,000 people, it will be difficult to completely control the entire city, let alone deal with the sneak attacks of the endless mages of Mochizuki City.
When the sun slowly rose the next day, Cassano's three elite troops had completed their formation at the edge of the Silent Forest, and the army that Lane had spent countless efforts to build was about to meet their test, and this was the second battle in which Cassano's three legendary armies became famous on the continent.
Looking at the Guards Legion armed with a Mithril Tower shield, the Dasher on a war horse with a Mithril Longbow on his back, and the Magic Legion floating in mid-air on a two-legged wyvern, Lane's heart was full of pride, no matter what kind of result this sneak attack can cause, it is destined to become an indelible scene in the history of human warfare, 15,000 elite troops rushed thousands of miles to the enemy's weakest rear without the enemy noticing, and the most shocking thing is that they completely brought their own standard configurations, without a large amount of supplies provided by the imperial capital, without the full cooperation of the dwarvesIt is simply impossible for those horses and bipedal wyverns to be able to pass through the dwarven dungeons.
Seeing Cassano's overlord standing in front of him, these 15,000 elite warriors are also enthusiastic, this dwarven dungeon trip is absolutely an incredible journey for these ordinary people, but they have completed this almost miraculous scene under the leadership of the young magician in front of them, at this moment Lane's vigorous figure is forever fixed in the hearts of these warriors, and the name of Lane has also become a god in everyone's minds.
"Today will be the beginning of our Cassano fame on the continent. The 15,000 people stood together but so quiet that they could hear a handkerchief drop on the ground, all of them listening intently as their overlord Ryan made his final mobilization before the battle: "We are not here to kill, but to peace." ”
"Hundreds of years ago, hundreds of millions of innocent civilians were killed in the Seven Kingdoms War, and at a time when our humanity was at its weakest, the evil army of the undead swept across the continent, and almost brought us, including our humans, elves, and dwarf allies to the fall. Although our final Holy Alliance has won the final victory, we have also paid a lot, a lot for the hard-won peace......"
"Now, there are careerists on the continent who want the continent to revert to the scene of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, which may give them great power, but it is another beginning of the catastrophe of mankind. Many of you have been born and died with me, and you may already have a vague understanding of some of the secrets. Yes, the legions of the undead are not completely destroyed, and the remnants of them are still waiting somewhere, waiting for us humans to fall back into disintegration, and then form a huge legion of death to sweep the continent and ...... it."
At this point, Ryan drew a large circle around his side with his hand, and then continued: "Turn the home we live in into their graveyard, turn our children and grandchildren into their immortal warriors, slam our freedom and honor to the ground, and trample on one foot!"
"In order to achieve this ulterior purpose, one of the masterminds of the former undead legion, the so-called demigod Lich Cons sent a large number of emissaries to our continent, and they used all kinds of means to entrap, lure, and even directly participate in us, such as Seke City, Mochizuki City, Freedom Paradise, and even our imperial capital, as well as our Iron Fist Castle, all of them. ”
"Mochizuki City, a city that will forever be recorded in the history books of mankind, has witnessed the scene when the elves taught magic to us humans, and also witnessed the growth of countless human magicians step by step, and finally carried forward magic in the human world. If I had a choice, I'd rather take Barbara and them for a friendly magical exchange here than meet them in battle. Unfortunately, I didn't have a choice, though, because the six-member council, the highest authority in Mochizuki City, chose the human rebel Senate, and at that moment, it became our enemy. ”
"Tell me, then, what should I do to my most loyal warriors against Cassano's enemies?" Ryan asked aloud and suddenly.
"Destruction!" the 15,000 Cassano elites shouted in unison, and in an instant, a fierce killing intent filled the entire space here, causing the air to freeze in an instant.
"Today we are here, today we see the city in front of us, then next, our warriors!" Ryan stretched out a finger and pointed to Mochizuki City in the distance: "We will conquer everything we see!"
