Offense and defense are completely different, as an attacker, Senate can drive a large number of cannon fodder to death every day, in order to consume the living force of the imperial capital, anyway, even if the whole army is destroyed, there is nothing to feel sorry for, but to save a large amount of food. Psychologically and so on, it is completely inferior to a veteran, and naturally no one dares to take such a risk.

So in Senate's strategy of exchanging population for time, the two elite corps stationed in the imperial capital on the Morry Line, a reserve corps of 300,000 people were dragged to death, their troops were more than enough to defend and not enough to counterattack, so naturally they could not act rashly, and the supreme military commander led by him had sent three teams of messengers to the imperial capital in a row, hoping to get more troops to support in order to launch a counterattack against Senat, but unfortunately he never received any reply.

In fact, neither the orcs nor Senat could compete with the imperial capital at all, but under the planning of the lich Nicholas under the pseudonym Safanas, these forces were closely united, and they took care of each other and launched attacks on the imperial capital respectively, leaving Orlando and their backs to the enemy, and the imperial capital's forces were also stretched.

At this time, many people began to understand how wise General Orlando was, it was he who tried his best to attack the Clay tribe in Mirror Lake first, not only completely drove the henchmen of this imperial capital out of the ranks of the struggle for continental hegemony, but also obtained a large number of war horses and materials, and at the same time could transfer more troops from the western defense line to reinforce other battlefields, which allowed the imperial capital to face the enemy's offensive more calmly, so that the war gradually entered the stage of strategic stalemate.

And at this time, Ryan stayed in Cassano's Iron Fist Castle peacefully, leisurely cultivating his students. Ryan returned to Tekken Castle and brought with him more than 100 of Mochizuki's outstanding magical apprentices, all of whom voluntarily renounced their identities and became Cassano according to a verbal agreement between Clifford and him. When this matter was known to the Imperial Capital, the first reaction of Hamfest, the head of the Imperial Capital Magic Guild, was to immediately start selecting the same number of magic apprentices, and forcibly stuffed them into Ryan's hands in the same way as the Mochizuki City Magic Guild.

Not only that, Hamfest simply sent Androkos and Melinda, who had a good relationship with Ryan, to Cassano to assist in the establishment of the Cassano Magic Guild, and the Magister couple and the 50 high-level magicians they brought with them would become the first members of the Cassano Magic Guild after its establishment, which was definitely a huge support for Ryan.

After learning the news, Clifford of Mochizuki City also organized a magic exchange group headed by a great mage to go to Cassano in the shortest possible time, except for the different names, what they had to do was no different from the Androkos couple, so that when Ryan's Cassano Magic Guild only existed as imagined, this magic guild already had 1 legendary mage, a great mage, four mages and more than 100 senior mages, as well as a large number of magic apprentices trained by Ryan himself who could use combined spell casting techniques to release level 4 magic。

In addition, the current construction of the Cassano Magic Guild Headquarters has also aroused the expectations of almost everyone, because this complex was designed by the Elf Queen herself, and the Dwarf King was fully responsible for the construction, which is also the first time in human history, just this, this building complex that has just begun to be built has not really been completed has become a historical witness, it will witness the birth of the highest independent magic guild in human history, development, growth, and will continue forever.

Although the members of the Magic Guild have all expressed their original identities and carry out corresponding matters with the new identity of the Cassano people, how can the grudges of the two magic guilds of the Imperial Capital and Mochizuki City for more than 200 years be eliminated with just a few words? When the Androkos couple led by the imperial capital and the archmage Ivanov led by Mochizuki City met together, Ryan had already vaguely seen the sparks that burst out between them.

Of course, these high-level mages are not the kind of people who don't know the general situation, otherwise they would not be able to undertake such an important task, they are very rational to compete with their opponents, and only limited to magic research and other aspects, absolutely not to cause any trouble to Ryan, and Ryan also takes an indulgent attitude towards this active competition, as long as they do not exceed the rules, Ryan pretends not to know anything, but he intentionally or unintentionally shows his support for this competition, which leads to more fierce head-on competition, making Cassano's magical atmosphere more and more intense。

"Alright, that's all for today. Ryan clapped his hands lightly and spoke aloud to the more than a thousand magic apprentices in the audience: "Everyone must pay attention to this, that is what we are taking now, it is a shortcut, it can help us grow quickly, but it also makes us lose a lot of things." Therefore, we must not be complacent, and we must keep our minds at ease. In addition, you must understand that with the strength of your magic apprentices, you can release the magic that only intermediate magicians can release, and this is not your own work, but the embodiment of collective cooperation, so you can't leave this collective at any time, understand?"

"Understood!" the more than a thousand people shouted in unison, and Ryan suspected that if the roof of the classroom hadn't been built by dwarves, it might not have been possible for the roar to knock it over.

"Very well, the next 2 hours will exercise your physical strength and will, both of which are very important for your future growth. Barbara, you lead the team, it's still the old rule, the last ten groups don't have lunch to eat, and the first three groups can follow me in the afternoon. ”

"Okay, Mr. Lane. Barbara's immature voice was vaguely mixed with a hint of maturity and sophistication, and it seemed that managing a huge magic army was also a process of training, growth, and improvement for her, so that the little maid who was worried about her livelihood two years ago slowly adapted to the life in front of her.

"Alright, let's go. Ryan waited until Barbara had left the teacher with all the magic apprentices, then greeted the two sisters, Natasha and Natalia, and prepared to go to the council chamber to have a look. Now Ryan has fully adapted to the life of a lord, and after he has finished handling government affairs in the council hall, he will also take the time to review the recruits who are being trained, after all, Cassano still suffered a lot of losses in the last attack on Mochizuki City, and he must hurry up to replenish it.

Sister Natasha and Nataya, unlike the other magical apprentices, do not participate in Barbara's magic legion, but instead follow Ryan all day long to communicate with each other. Ryan demanded that the twins should be able to communicate anytime and anywhere, and that this ability should become their own instinct, as accustomed to breathing, talking, drinking, and eating.

This requirement sounds simple, but it is very difficult to actually use, of course it is easy to do in a short period of time of mental contact, but this kind of contact for a long time is easy to exhaust the two sisters, which obviously does not meet Ryan's requirements, after all, when it is really on the battlefield, maybe just a second of negligence is enough to change the final enchantment, so Ryan has not carried out the next step of training for the two sisters, but let them slowly use time to understand.

The magic apprentices who were taken away by Barbara had already walked quickly to the open space outside the classroom, where dozens of logs more than ten meters long were placed, and these magic apprentices chose a log according to their own groups to stand on, and when Barbara turned up the hourglass next to them, these magic apprentices hurriedly carried the logs on the ground and walked towards the front respectively.

There are exactly ten people in each group, and it is quite difficult for ten young people to carry a large log of several hundred catties around the entire Iron Fist Castle New Town, especially those magic apprentices from the imperial capital and Mochizuki City, after all, they have been exposed to magic since childhood, but they neglect to exercise their bodies. But everyone gritted their teeth and stiffened, and no one said a word of complaint.

Ryan smiled and watched the more than 100 groups of magic apprentices slowly move away, seeing that most of them were flushed and gritted their teeth, and shook his head slightly in his heart, when he first studied with Teacher Galib, he was running through the mountain trail alone carrying a large log equivalent to half the weight of the log in front of him, compared to this, these little guys are already very easy now.

For Ryan, his training of thousands of apprentices at one time does not mean that the future magic army will have so many people, after experiencing the battle of Mochizuki City, Ryan also found that he had some previous ideas that needed to be revised, so Ryan changed his mind a little, and decided to compress this magic force, reducing the number to 500 people, but each member must reach the level of a junior magician, and the best of them must reach the level of an intermediate magician, so that with the help of combined spell casting skills, these people can release level 5 or even 6 magic, in order to really face the enemy magicians。

In order to achieve this goal, all Ryan could do was to squeeze their potential as much as possible, just as Galib and Drahane had dealt with him in the first place, but Ryan still greatly reduced the training intensity of these apprentices, otherwise there would have been a massive attrition. After all, even if they are eliminated, they can still assist the garrison, the sheriff's office, etc., and these magic apprentices can still play a very important role in ordinary mercenaries or ordinary thieves and other law enforcement.

Just as Ryan was about to leave here for the council chamber, a guard with a spear came running quickly, he came to Ryan's side, first saluted respectfully, and then handed Ryan a piece of Cassano insignia made of gold in his hand, and said, "Mr. Ryan, there is a little boy looking for you outside, this is his token." Ryan took the emblem, and at a glance he could see that it was his own hand, and the image of the shy boy in the free paradise also appeared in front of his eyes.
