Chapter 25: Squad Leader
Ryan shook his head, he had already shown mercy just now, but he didn't expect this guy to not appreciate it, but since this is the case, then it is time to use Bruce to establish his prestige. After Bruce pushed himself in, Ryan raised his hands and unleashed five magic missiles at the tomahawk that had been slashed at him. The five purple missiles hit the same place in Bruce's hand, and the continuous impact broke the tomahawk in two, and then Ryan left a little more, and a blue arc slashed Bruce's face, sending Bruce backwards and flying out again.
Ryan wasn't ready to stop there, he connected the dots with his right hand, and purple magic missiles shot out continuously, knocking Bruce into the air and tumbling in the air, splattering blood, and then Ryan threw out a small fireball with his left hand and threw it under Bruce. The flames that should have scattered in all directions were forcibly gathered by Ryan and sprayed above the explosion point, blasting Bruce into the air as he was about to fall to the ground, but did not hurt the surrounding onlookers.
Everyone was shocked at first, and after finding that they were unharmed, they all looked up at Bruce who was flying high, and looked at Bruce, whose clothes were blown up and his body was also blown black, and he drew an arc in the air and fell heavily outside the city wall.
Bruce's body is no longer struggling, I don't know if he died or was blown unconscious, but even if he was in good health, falling straight and straight under the ten-meter-high city wall would definitely cause serious injuries and even die on the spot.
Although it is against military rules to fight, at most it will close the black house, and if someone dies, the matter will be quite serious. At the moment when everyone was nervous, Ryan unexpectedly released a small fireball, which flew much faster than Bruce's falling speed, but with a few blinks of his eyes, the fireball caught up with and overtook Bruce, who was falling, and exploded under Bruce's body.
The power of the fireball explosion forcibly changed the direction of Bruce's fall, blasting him into the air again. Under Ryan's precise magical control, Bruce's body was blown up and flew back. When Bruce landed on him, Ryan raised his left hand in a good time, supported Bruce who fell in front of him, and gently threw him on the ground in front of him.
The surrounding soldiers all gasped, and saw the provocative Bruce lying on the ground in pitch black, and many parts of his body were still burning, but the burly and powerful Bruce did not move, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and Ryan, the initiator of all this, used a series of dazzling magic to tell everyone present what a terrible existence a magician was.
Not far away, General Clark witnessed Ryan's clean battle, and his heart was also shocked. General Clark had thought that although the magician had not a bad strength, it would take time to cast spells, and he would be useless in such a fast-paced battle, but who knew that Ryan would defeat Bruce so easily.
Although Bruce likes to bully the weak, General Clark often opens and closes his eyes on his combat effectiveness, and does not delve too deeply, but today, the young magician named Ryan actually beat Bruce to the point of life and death. The whole battle process was done in one go, there was no long chanting spell, and there was no need for a large number of companions to buy time for him, just a little finger, blue arcs, purple missiles, and fireballs that exploded accurately, all of which were beyond the scope of General Clark's cognition.
While General Clark was still pondering, several of his guards drew their swords and prepared to go up to capture Ryan, because private fights were not allowed in the barracks, especially at the critical moment when the orcs were approaching the city. But General Clark stopped them with a gentle wave.
"Get a couple of guys to drag Bruce down and get a medic to show him. I think that the little magician's subordinates are mostly merciful, and it shouldn't be too much. General Clark said lightly to his guards: "Also, from now on, this little magician is the squad leader, give him the best team, well, just let him choose for himself." I'd like to see how much of a surprise a team led by a magician can bring me. ”
After saying this, General Clark twisted his head and walked down the city wall, and his guards looked at me, and I looked at you, standing there a little bewildered, and after a while they came back to their senses, and they were busy according to General Clark's arrangement just now.
Seeing that Bruce was actually beaten to the ground by this trusty little magician, and dragged down by several of General Clark's personal guards, the onlookers suddenly dispersed. It was forbidden to fight in private in the barracks, and since General Clark's personal guards appeared, the general must have been nearby, and they didn't want to be implicated.
Bart didn't notice this, he excitedly took the gold coin from Colin's hand, and said happily, "Great, that's a lot of money." Ryan, thank you. Why don't we divide it?"
Ryan smiled and said, "You won the bet, I don't want it." ”
Bart thought for a moment and said, "Then I won't be polite to you, but when these damn orcs are defeated, Ryan and you must come to the imperial capital to attend my wedding." ”
Ryan and Alendor smiled at each other, happy for Bart in their hearts.
"You, uh, your name is Ryan, aren't you?" The shooter named Colin didn't walk away, but stood beside Bart and said to this Ryan, "Hello, my name is Colin, and I'm the squad leader of the seventh squad of the Shooter Legion. ”
Ryan looked Colin up and down, and saw that he was wearing a tight-fitting linen suit, the style of the suit was the same style as that of the Imperial archers, all black, with an insignia on his chest with a bow and a feathered arrow crossed together. Colin carried a longbow on his back, the back of which was almost a meter long, and the string was much thicker than that of a normal archer, and the five quivers Colin carried were filled with thumb-thick feathered arrows.
Ryan said in a puzzled tone, "Hello, may I ask you something?"
Without waiting for Colin to speak, he saw one of General Clark's personal guards striding over and saying loudly, "Ryan, from now on, you will be the squad leader." You can choose a squad yourself, and the general's orders ask you to play freely and surprise him a little. ”
"Ahh After a while, Colin whispered, "Are you sure, Baru, is this really the general's order?"
The general's guard named Balu said loudly, "Colin, aren't you talking nonsense, it's not an order from the general himself, I dare to talk nonsense?" and then Balu said to Ryan: "You go and choose, the orcs will attack in a while." Well, this is the captain's order, you have it. I've already told you about the commanders of several legions, you just have to pick them. With that, Balu handed Ryan a token engraved with various runes and hurried away.
Ryan held the token, and still didn't understand the meaning of General Clark's order, why did he fight and be promoted to squad leader? Could it be that the officers of Thor's Fortress were promoted by fighting, and it seemed that he would have to fight more if he wanted to be promoted?
Colin said to Ryan with envy on his face, "Ryan, I really want to congratulate you. You know, I was promoted to squad leader, but it took me five years? ”
When Ryan heard this, he was embarrassed and wanted to say a few words of modesty, but he didn't know how to say it.
Colin looked at Ryan's cramped look, and secretly laughed in his heart, he kindly reminded Ryan: "You have to quickly choose your subordinates, otherwise the orcs will attack the city in a while, and you will not be able to pick again." If you're not familiar with this place, I can help you, as long as you ask for it. ”
Ryan nodded gratefully at Colin, and began to think about it, not caring about why General Clark wanted him to be the leader of this squad, just thinking about what kind of role he could play with this squad. The legion here in Thor's Fortress is a squad of 50 people, and every 500 people, that is, 10 squads are a squadron, and every 5,000 people are a brigade. A legion ranges from 20,000 to 40,000. Obviously, no matter how you choose, this mere 50 people don't have much influence in the fight of tens of thousands of people, unless the members of this team have their own level of Allendo, of course, that is impossible.
After thinking about it, Ryan felt that it was better to form a squad of archers, first of all, if it was a spearman, sword and shield soldier and a giant axe warrior, he would definitely have to be stationed in a certain area of the city wall, and this kind of passive defense would definitely not be able to reflect his advantages. And the formation of an archer squad can freely transfer positions according to the development of the battle situation, reinforce your weak points, and snipe at the enemy's most fierce areas.
Secondly, a pure archer unit, if properly commanded, should not suffer any damage in a big battle, and if it is a melee unit, then it may be completely annihilated. You can't just break up your squad after every battle, and then slowly replenish the personnel, right?
The last reason, that is, Ryan himself is a magician, if he leads the melee troops to charge, it will be a pity, although Ryan casts spells quickly, but can not be melee, or try to avoid it, use his strengths and avoid weaknesses.
Thinking of this, Ryan handed the token in his hand to Colin, and then said to him, "Then trouble you, please choose the best shooter for me." By order of General Clark, you can choose from all the legions under his command. There are 50 places, I want them to be the kind that shoots which, but don't shoot anywhere. Ryan said at the end, making a little joke.
After listening to Ryan's words, Colin's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Ryan's general intentions, and nodded again and again and said: "Don't worry, I'm also a pretty good shooter, and what can make me look at it will definitely not be too bad." ”
Bart stood aside and said with some regret: "Alas, Ryan, I am really reluctant to leave you." ”
Ryan smiled and said, "Except for me and Allendo, Bart is the first member of this team, Colin, you can just pick the remaining 49 people." ”
