Chapter 258: Battle Report
Soon, both of them took out all their things, Colin looked at the longbow blessed with magic in front of him, only felt that his heart was very itchy, he scratched his chest a few times with a smirk, and then gently put his hand on the bowstring and kept stroking, as if he was caressing his lover, while Colin raised the strong crossbow in his hand with a big grin, squinting his eyes and looking out.
I have to say that Ryan's enchantment skills have reached the point of perfection, and all the magic equipment that Colin and they obtained, Ryan is completely made according to their own ideas and ideas, such as Colin's longbow, the magic that Ryan blessed on it can almost double Colin's effective range, which is a daunting distance on the battlefield, because as long as Colin wants, he can even shoot directly at the opponent's forward commander.
Thomas's giant crossbow is the opposite, its range is reduced by one-third, but in exchange for the ability to fire three crossbow arrows at a time, which is naturally greatly improved for close killing, if equipped with Ryan's special burst arrows for them, Thomas is quite looking forward to the scene when he fires with all his strength.
As for Jonas and the other Commanders, each of them had their favorite weapons and well-fitting armor, and they couldn't help but smile with satisfaction on their faces, because the equipment was tailor-made for them, and they didn't even need to get used to it too much to get used to it.
Jonas looked at everyone with a happy look, and admired Ryan's enchantment level in his heart, which could be done in just half a month, but he asked several well-known magic item shops in the imperial capital, if it was customized, there would not be half a year to get it, not to mention that these equipment were so compatible with themselves, as if they had been using it since childhood.
"Well, Ryan has made good on his promise. Jonas looked at the elated commanders under his command, as well as the others who were full of envy, and spoke: "His wedding to Faras is approaching, how do you think we should repay him?"
"Needless to say, Chief Jonas!" Colin began, but he did as well, for Thomas went on to say, "Victory, a hearty victory! β
"That's right, guys!" Jonas began to mobilize before the battle: "Our Third Legion is the most elite unit in the Imperial Capital, and now that we have firmly blocked the orcs from moving south, it's time for them to get back!"
"That's right!"
"Yes!"
"those green-skinned guys!"
"Very good, can you continue to fight now?" Jonas saw that everyone's morale was very good, so he simply set the time for counterattack tonight, anyway, the orcs attacked in turn every day, and they were already tired, while Jonas used a rotation method, and at least two-fifths of the troops were well rested every day.
"Yes!" everyone shouted in unison.
"Very good!" Jonas looked at everyone with satisfaction and said, "Colin, Thomas, move your troops immediately, we will attack at night tonight, and give those green-skinned bastards an unforgettable lesson!"
ββββββ*ββββββ*ββββββ*ββββββ*ββββββ imperial capital, Faras's new mansion, Faras's study.
Faras slowly ate a sandwich while carefully reading the battle report in his hand, a beautiful counterattack launched by the Jonas Legion on the Northern Front of the Imperial Capital three nights ago. In this counterattack, Jonas mobilized a full 30,000 troops to forcibly attack one of the orc camps and uproot it, finally forcing the other orc camps to retreat due to the loopholes in the defenses, and the crisis of the three forts in the north of the imperial capital was also solved.
This can be said to be rare good news, so Faras read it carefully. It turned out that after the humans continued to retreat and defend for a long time, the orcs never expected that the humans would suddenly carry out a night attack, and they suffered a big loss when they were caught off guard. Of course, if this is the case, then with the combat effectiveness and tenacity of the orcs, the human race may not be able to achieve such a result, as a result, when Colin led an elite archer squad to support the infantry in front, he actually directly sniped the leader of the orc camp 1500 meters away.
The orc troops who lost their command suddenly became a mess, and Jonas then attacked the camp with a fierce army, directly turning this camp into a ruin, killing countless orcs, and even capturing orc captives for hundreds of meters in the end, which is the biggest victory of humans over orcs since the fall of Thor's fortress.
"Haha, that's great!" Faras laughed happily, while Ryan, who was sitting across from her, put down the report from Cassano in his hand and asked in a puzzled tone, "Fani, what is so happy?"
"Wow!" Faras handed the battle report of the Jonas Legion to Ryan, and Ryan did not have any taboo to read it directly in his hand, and after Faras waited for Ryan to read it, he said in an excited tone: "This is really timely, and now the imperial capital is just lacking such news." β
"Well, yes, this battle was well fought. 30,000 against 30,000, this kind of achievement can be achieved, the Jonas Legion has made a great achievement!" Ryan also nodded slowly, because an orc warrior can deal with at least three to five human soldiers, and Jonas's counterattack this time is equivalent to 30,000 against more than 100,000 enemies, of course, it is a hearty victory.
"Why, look at the end!" said Faras, smiling, "At the end of the report, Jonas praised the magic items you made for them, and if it weren't for the longbow you gave Colin, Colin wouldn't have been able to kill the leader of the other party at such a distance, and this victory would not have been so easy." β
Ryan smiled and shook his head, if this is said, there is nothing to boast about, it is only 1500 meters, you must know that the Moon Temple guards of the elven race like Serres, who trained his subordinates in Cassano, can shoot enemies 3 or 4 kilometers away casually when holding a longbow, then it is called powerful.
Farath thought that Ryan was just modest, and she was about to say a few more words, when suddenly there was a knocking sound outside the study, and then a dusty herald walked in quickly, accompanied by two of Farath's personal guards. As soon as Faras saw the herald's appearance, his heart suddenly sank, and from the sad and angry expression on his face, Faras vaguely felt that something big was happening.
"Honorable archon, four days ago, the commander of the Simpson's Legion, Viscount Simpson and Senate's army, after a few days of confrontation, personally led 20,000 elites to prepare to attack the opponent from the flank, but unexpectedly stepped into the trap of the other party, and the whole army was annihilated. Then the rest of the Simpson's regiment was under heavy attack, and two and a half days ago, less than 20,000 of the survivors had retreated to the town of Mori, and sent a few of us back to the imperial capital to ask for help!" The herald finished the battle report of the entire southern front in one breath, and then his feet went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, while the two guards quickly helped him up, and at the signal of Faras, led the herald down.
"Bastard!" Farass suddenly lost her joy, and she thrust the plate with half a sandwich in front of her to the ground, and rose to her feet with the crisp sound of metal striking, walking back and forth in her study.
The Simpson's crushing defeat made Jonas's victory completely meaningless, and in the case of the tight south of the imperial capital, the imperial capital could not form an overwhelming force advantage on the other two fronts, and could only send more soldiers to the south to resist Senate's attack, which was equivalent to Sennat sharing huge pressure on the enemy in other directions of the imperial capital.
Of course, if it is just like this, it is not too serious, after all, there will always be losses and wins in wars, but after the defeat of Simpson, Senat opened the passage to Cassano, and without the danger of the imperial capital army attacking the flank, Senate can mobilize at least 40,000 elites into the Cassano Plain, and at this time, Cassano's entire strength is less than this number.
Obviously, the defeat of this battle has caused the allies of the imperial capital to suffer an unprecedented crisis, once Senate's army enters the Cassano plain, they can choose to burn and loot and destroy Cassano's vitality, or they can besiege the city to attract the rescue troops of the imperial capital, and the imperial capital and Cassano can only passively mobilize a large number of troops to deploy defenses, unless they completely abandon the land outside of Cassano's key cities, and lose the protection of Cassano's army, Cassano's people will inevitably suffer huge losses, which has a fatal impact on the majesty that Ryan has just establishedγ
"What should I do? What should I do?" Farass walked back and forth, trying to think of countermeasures, she knew that the news had been passed on to Orlando, although under normal circumstances, this kind of military movement was complicated by Orlando, but Cassano was Lane's territory after all, how could she be indifferent.
"Why don't you ask the Royal Knights to come out in person?" Faras's eyes suddenly lit up, she stopped and turned to Ryan and said, "How about it, 2000, oh no, 3000 Holy Knights should be enough to change Cassano's disadvantage, right?"
"No, the Royal Knights must sit in the imperial capital, and they can't go anywhere!" Ryan shook his head flatly and rejected Faraz's proposal.
"But that's Cassano, that's your second home!" said Farath anxiously, "Can't you bear ......?"
"No, of course not, but ......" Ryan said this, thinking about the wording for a moment, before continuing to say to Faraz: "I am the overlord of Cassano, so I can only be responsible for the crisis of Cassano. β
"What do you mean?" Farass asked casually, stunned slightly.
"It's easy!" Ryan smiled confidently on his face, "I'll return to Cassano myself and deal with these pesky locusts with my own hands." I want all my enemies to know that whoever dares to invade Cassano will bear my wrath!
