Ryan looked at the orc phalanx in the distance extremely calmly, such a scene gave him a feeling of acquaintance, just like when he was in the Thor Fortress, the 100,000 elites of the Barbarian Bear Clan lined up in a phalanx, silently exerting invisible pressure. Groups of elites poured into this area, and spent enough time to clear all the human positions in the northern city of the imperial capital, making it the actual control area of the orcs, which allowed the Brute Bear Clan to move their forces more easily, and no longer had to worry about their rear being attacked by human warriors.

After solving the worries, the Brute Bear Clan began to mobilize its army and prepare for a fierce attack on the royal viewing platform, of course, the human side was not idle, under Orlando's order, more than 500,000 human troops urgently began to deploy the central square area, trying to stop the orc offensive.

After withstanding the rock-throwing attacks of the orcs for many days, the human side finally made a large number of stone-throwing carts and began to fight back powerfully. Although the orcs have a large number of human skills to make equipment, the time is still short, and it is not enough to fully digest it, so the finished product is slightly inferior to that of humans. This rock-throwing battle is staged every day, and both sides do their best to use the stone-throwing vehicles to harass them remotely and weaken the opponent as much as possible.

The positions on the human side were arranged in the central square, and a large number of building debris and sandbags were piled up to form a bunker, which of course could not resist the rock-throwing attacks of the orcs, so the losses were great. However, the orcs are not comfortable on the side, the orcs occupy a large number of blocks, and naturally they can use those sturdy buildings to avoid the human stone-throwing attack, but after all, the human beings have lived in the city for 200 years, and they know every street well.

"There are at least 60,000 orcs. Ryan carefully observed for a while, and then said to Christina beside him: "I remember that the summary of the battle situation I got last night said that the orcs have lost 160,000 to 180,000 troops in the past month or so, and they are now less than 300,000 troops at most, General Orlando said that the orcs will definitely leave about 100,000 warriors, otherwise they will not be able to survive this winter." ”

Christina silently counted in her mind and corrected Ryan by saying, "It's 60,000 and 7,000, and the number is still increasing." ”

Ryan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I didn't learn intelligence gathering. ”

Christina smiled at him and said, "If you want to learn, you can ask General Orlando directly." He is simply a genius in military affairs, without whom he does not understand things. ”

Alendor walked over quickly, and when he saw that Ryan and Christina were together, he whispered: "The latest information has come out, in the other three directions of the imperial capital, the strength of the orcs is about 100,000. ”

"Oh?" Ryan looked at Allendo and was about to speak, but Christina rushed to say, "Where did they hit?"

Alendor thought for a moment and said, "The nearest is south, which is still 5 kilometers away from us, and the others are even farther away, basically, there is no threat to us." ”

Christina pondered in her heart, and a smile appeared on her face: "According to the information gathered by our scouts, the Orc Northern Legion and the legions of the other three directions are not of the same clan, presumably there will be some problems with their transfer. Moreover, the Orc Northern Legion, which is now gathering troops, will not dare to attack with all its troops, if they fail, they will not be able to maintain sufficient deterrence against other legions. ”

"That is to say," Ryan continued with Christina's words, "these orcs in our north will invest about 100,000 to 120,000 at most when they launch an offensive. ”

"Yes, unless they're willing to lose everything they have now. Christina said lightly: "But this situation is very difficult to happen, because the orc Northern Legion has fused too many human minds, they learn human technology, train warriors in human ways, use equipment made by us humans, and even their ruling methods are similar to our empire, I think, their rulers will not be desperate." ”

"Perhaps," Allendo was not enthusiastic about these things, and reminded Ryan in a whisper, "Farrath asked me to tell you that in three hours, at noon today, Queen Catherine will be crowned queen by Red." This is at stake in the morale of our army, and no one can afford to go wrong in any way. ”

Ryan sighed, he thought back to the experience of the past period of time, and felt very emotional, who would have known that Catherine Landy, who had been unknown last year and had become famous at the Royal Athletic Tournament, would become the ruler of this vast empire, albeit in name.

Alendor knows Ryan's thoughts, but Catherine's ability to be crowned queen at this juncture has a lot to do with her recent performance, when other officials and nobles fled for their lives, Catherine was the first to stand up, and kept boosting the morale of humans at the royal viewing platform, even if the royal viewing platform was attacked by orcs a few days ago, she did not take a step back.

At this stage of stalemate, if the human race is not able to stop the progress of the orcs, it will be at a disadvantage in the offensive and defensive battle of the entire imperial capital, and it will never be able to come back until the war is lost. In order to further stimulate the fighting enthusiasm of the human warriors, at Luke's proposal, Archbishop Red of the Church of Light will crown Catherine today, making her the titular ruler of this empire.

As soon as the news spread, it was greeted with enthusiastic cheers from all sides of the central square, and all the fighting human beings, men, women, and children, had heard Catherine's speech with their own ears, and knew that the queen of commoner birth had always been with them and had never abandoned them. It is said that war makes women go away, but a noble queen stands here persistently, vowing to live and die with this city, is there anything more that can touch everyone's hearts than this?

Ryan nodded and strode out, ready to inspect the surroundings again to make sure that nothing went wrong, while Christina greeted Allendo and hurriedly followed Ryan on the patrol. Alendor looked at the backs of the two of them, and shook his head helplessly, I don't know why, this female knight's attitude towards Ryan is very weird, and Allendo can't tell what it is.

Ryan didn't have to look back to hear Christina's footsteps, about this female knight, Ryan only had respect in his heart, which was a recognition and affirmation of a warrior full of firm faith, but Christina's attitude towards him was a little ambiguous, and he wanted to fight with him everywhere, but after a heated debate, he would always be subject to Ryan's wishes, as if he enjoyed this process very much. Ryan's subconscious vaguely felt that this was very inappropriate, but it was a pity that he had assigned his own manpower, put himself and Christina in a group, and it was impossible to reassign it now no matter what, otherwise it would make the task that had gone smoothly be missed.

Fortunately, Faras didn't believe that Ryan would be sorry for her behavior, and for Christina's performance, Farath also discussed with Ryan in private, thinking that it was a haughty holy knight's ambivalent feelings about the enemies who had defeated him, and he wanted to prove that he was not useless, but after all, he actually lost to Ryan, so there was such a strange situation. And Faras also proudly said that there are really not many men like Ryan now, with his superior strength and perseverance, he can most impress those proud ladies, of course, Faras himself is not like this unknowingly in love with this boy? As a result, this private discussion has become a couple's memories of their love experience and their vision for a happy future.

After turning the entire royal viewing platform around again, and after making sure that everything was correct, Ryan made an excuse and went alone outside Catherine's lounge. According to the prior arrangement, it was Faras who was close to protect Catherine today, and when Catherine was in her lounge, Faras could only stand outside the room pitifully.

Faraz's fingers were boringly rolling up the corners of the magic robe, she raised her head after hearing the footsteps, and immediately saw Ryan who was thinking about it, Faraz's face suddenly burst into an amazing smile, and Ryan also looked at Farath with a smile on his face, this war has made the two have little time to get together, for more than a month, the number of times they can whisper together can be counted on one hand, so can this not make this couple in love feel like a year?

The two stared at each other face to face, and Faras only felt that she had something to say, but when it came to her lips, it became: "You're here?"

"Well, I'm coming. Ryan's answer was even more straightforward, if he didn't know their direct relationship, he would have thought they were strangers.

"Hmph, you haven't even come to see me lately. ”

Before Ryan could reply, they heard the door open, and the two hurriedly looked over, and it turned out to be Catherine walking out.

Ryan's face suddenly turned red, this was because he had left his post without permission and was caught, and he was just about to explain a few words, when he heard Catherine say, "Ryan, you are here." ”

"Well, I'm coming. It was exactly the same as the one that answered Faras. Faras was quietly hiding behind Ryan with a red face, but when she heard Ryan answer like this, she was so angry that Farath stretched out her little hand, touched Ryan's ribs, and then twisted desperately.

Ryan's face twitched suddenly, but in front of Queen Catherine, he could not be rude in any way, he could only stand there with pain. Catherine had already noticed Farrath's small movements, and a smile appeared in the corners of her eyes, and she deliberately said a few inconsequential nonsense, always dragging Ryan so that the latter could not find an excuse to leave.

When Christina appeared, Faras let go of her sore little hand, and Christina saw Faras's small movements at a glance, her body stiffened and then said loudly to Catherine: "Queen's pen, the ceremony is about to begin, please come with me." ”
