"yes, but not too carelessly." Vivien nodded, agreeing with Ryan's point, but she added, "The entire Emilio family's army is actually divided into three grades. The lowest level is naturally those peasant soldiers, there are about 60,000 to 70,000 people in the whole territory, and there are about 20,000 young and strong farmers, and these people will receive military training when they are not working. ”

"Of course, these people don't have to expect too much combat effectiveness, they probably won't hold their spears backwards when fighting, and if there are soldiers behind them, they can still charge forward. Vivien said, "The real army is the nearly 3,000 light infantry, and they are the main army of the family. They are all equipped with decent weapons, some with spears, some with long swords and shields, as for the combat effectiveness, I can fight 10 of them alone, if you are given enough time to cast spells, I estimate that even if a hundred come to die. ”

"Hmm. Ryan nodded slowly, listening to Vivien's description, the combat effectiveness of these armies is probably equivalent to the third-rate troops of the imperial capital, and the veterans of the two major battles of Thor Fortress and the Imperial Capital under Jonas can probably defeat such an opponent with only one-tenth of them.

"There is also a team of about 150 people, this is the lord's personal soldiers, their combat effectiveness is very good, weapons, armor are readily available, what they do every day is to train themselves and protect the lord, unlike the 3,000 soldiers I just mentioned, they are basically stationed in various places in the territory. ”

"Once upon a time, the Seremis family and the Saranal family formed a coalition to raid the Emilio family, and the 30,000 allied troops surrounded the Iron Fist Castle where the lord of the Emilio family was located, but after a full three months of fierce attack, they did not break through the castle where only 150 lords were stationed, and finally had to retreat at the same time after the reinforcements of the Emilio family and the arrival of the cold winter. ”

"Oh, if that's really the case, then the combat effectiveness of these pro-soldiers is considerable. Ryan also felt very good about the record described by Vivien, in his impression, it seemed that only his original Ryan mercenary group could do this with such a disparity in strength, but this also had to join Ryan's magic and Allendo's wild violence as a reliance, could it be that the army of this family was so strong?

"Okay, we're almost done, let's get back on our way. Old Bill suddenly opened his mouth to speak, and Ryan and Vivien naturally did not raise any objections, so the three of them set out on a journey to Iron Fist Castle, the seat of the lord of the Emilio family.

"Look, there it is!" Vivien said to Ryan, pointing to a towering castle on the plains in the distance, "The Iron Fist Castle, which is said to have never been breached by the enemy, hum." After Vivien finished speaking, she made a disdainful sound through her nose to show her displeasure with the Emilio family.

"Oh, never?" Ryan laughed when he heard this, "The walls of the Thor Fortress are 10 meters high, and the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed there are among the most elite in the entire empire, and no orc has ever climbed over its walls from the north for 200 years. However, just three years ago, it fell, and humanity lost its strongest and only barrier to the north. ”

Speaking of this, Ryan looked at the Iron Fist Castle in the distance, and suddenly whispered: "No matter how strong a castle is, it will be conquered from the inside, and only a castle that has never been attacked will not be conquered, and in fact, does this make sense?"

Vivian listened to Ryan's very tongue-twisted words, thought silently in her heart, and suddenly felt very reasonable, she burst out laughing, and said: "Your mouth is really tricky, but since Thor's Fortress will also fall, then this Iron Fist Castle will naturally be no exception, think about it carefully, for so many years, this plain is nothing more than three families you fight me, I fight you, almost no external forces set foot here......"

"Step, step, step, step!" Before Vivian's words were finished, he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves from the road behind him, and the three of them turned around to look together, only to see a small group of heavily armed cavalry coming to him at a gallop, and the person who was the leader rushed to Vivian's place less than 2 meters away, and pulled the reins violently, and the entire galloping war horse immediately let out a long neigh, and the two front hooves were raised high into the air, and the rider on the war horse also used this action to offset the momentum towards himself.

Not only the knight at the head, but even the dozen or so horsemen behind him made similar movements, and the entire team stopped in front of Vivien and the three of them. Vivian saw that the other party actually made such an almost provocative action, and her brows furrowed and she wanted to attack, but the knight at the head suddenly let out a silver bell-like laugh, pointed at Vivian and said, "Hahahaha, Vivian, long time no see!"

Vivian's face changed slightly after hearing this voice, but her reaction was quite fast, and the moment her face changed slightly, she immediately turned into a smiling face, and at this moment, Vivien, who was full of spring, seemed to have seen her best friend in her life, and said in an excited tone: "Ah, it's you, Adra!"

The knight at the head raised his hands and took off the helmet on his head, revealing a delicate face and golden hair, she held the helmet with one hand, and jumped to the ground with the other hand on the horse's back, and then the lady whom Vivien called "Adra" came to Vivian's side in a few steps, and the two ladies of beauty and figure hugged each other tightly.

After a while, Adela let go of Vivian, she grabbed Vivian with one hand, looked up and down carefully, and said while looking at it: "Yes, yes, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, but my figure is getting better and better, I don't know which man has luck......"

Adra's words stopped abruptly at this point, because she saw the reddish-brown leather armor that Vivien was wearing, and in Adela's eyes, she immediately saw that the material of this armor was extraordinary, and it was extraordinary, Adela and Vivien were both women, and the relationship between the two seemed to be very good, so Adela put her hand on Vivien's body without any scruples, and kept stroking the surface of the entire set of leather armor.
