Colin has been in Thor Fortress for many years, and he is very familiar with this place, so he naturally knows the details of everyone. In just ten minutes, Colin picked out the best of General Clark's 20,000 shooters. The original superiors of these archers were reluctant to let them go, but Colin took General Clark's warrant, and General Clark did let his guards convey similar orders, so he had no choice but to watch as his most elite archers were pulled away by Colin.

Ryan was really startled when he looked at the dozens of archers in front of him who were all different in height, shortness, fat and thinness. Colin didn't care what Ryan thought, anyway, he was just an executor, and even if there was any mistake, General Clark and Ryan were on top of it. On the contrary, it is these people who have been selected, Colin himself has long coveted it, and now there is a chance to pull all together to form a team of archers, Colin feels excited when he thinks about it, many times on the battlefield, a good archer, coupled with a good city wall cover, can shoot a large number of enemies relatively easily, and now that so many people are gathered together, I don't know what kind of record will be created under the leadership of this little magician in front of me.

Ryan shook his head helplessly, he regretted not following Colin to choose in person, from the eyes of these people in front of him, Ryan saw absolute confidence, and even many people showed unruly eyes in their eyes, if the owner of this kind of look is not an arrogant guy, then he must have some proud capital, it seems that Colin is really hard enough. What's more, many of these people are staring at me and I am staring at you, I'm afraid that the comrade-in-arms in peacetime is not very good, maybe there is no less competition in secret.

But now that time is running out, it is impossible for Ryan to pick his teammates again, so Ryan has to exercise his duties as a squad leader and start his first inaugural speech in his life. Ryan said loudly, "Hello everyone, I'm your squad leader, Ryan. I know you're all very good marksmen, maybe some of you were squad leaders before, and now you've been pulled here by some guy and become me, a new, young mercenary's subordinate, and I'm a little unconvinced. ”

Ryan's words were completely different from the usual captain's reprimands, but they also attracted the attention of these people. Seeing that his first purpose had been accomplished, Ryan continued, "What is the most powerful army in the Empire? Ryan asked a few times, and the shooters stood loosely in place, and no one answered.

Ryan was still a little nervous in his heart, this was the first time he had led and commanded so many people, if he couldn't subdue them, or command them, then he couldn't expect to make any achievements in the next battle. Ryan was nervous, but on the surface he was calm, this was what he learned from Orlando, he remembered Orlando once told him to be quiet in front of his subordinates, if you don't think you can do it yourself, then how can you restrain others?

Then an unfathomable smile appeared on the corner of Ryan's mouth, and he said loudly to the shooters in front of him, "Don't you even know this? Or are you not an elite at all, just a group of rookie eggs?"

One of the archers in the crowd shouted in unconvinced anger: "Holy Knight!"

Ryan was relieved, there was always someone to speak, he nodded and said, "Yes, the most powerful army in the empire is the Royal Knights. Why are those Holy Knights so powerful? Can anyone tell me, Elites!"

"They are blessed by God!"

"Those guys are the best in gear, the best in diet, the best in salary, a little bit stronger, of course. ”

With the first person to answer, when Ryan asked another question, the shooters began to babble, and the scene immediately became a little chaotic, and Ryan and his improvised squad immediately became the focus of attention compared to the quiet human soldiers elsewhere.

Ryan shook his head and said, "No, although you have all said part of it, you have not talked about the most important point. When Ryan said this, he paused deliberately, and swept his eyes over these subordinates in front of him, and sure enough, he saw that these people were all looking at him with their eyes, hoping to get the correct answer from their mouths. Ryan smiled inwardly, it seemed that the method that Orlando gave him was quite effective.

Ryan continued: "The reason why the Holy Knights are the most powerful is because they have the most terrifying power of mankind, and that is discipline!" Lane's words immediately caused a strong reaction from everyone, and some of those shooters agreed and some opposed, and they expressed their opinions one after another, and the scene was completely chaotic.

Ryan stood there, not restraining them, waiting for them to mess around. After a while, Ryan raised his hand and released a miniature fireball spell towards the sky, the fireball spell rushed straight into the sky, and then exploded, the magic flame contained in it spread out, forming a beautiful magic firework, and the sound produced by the explosion of the fireball spell immediately calmed down everyone's discussion.

The shooters who were still talking about it just now immediately closed their mouths, and then they remembered that the young mercenary in front of them, their squad leader, had another terrifying identity, that is, magician.

Ryan was very satisfied with the effect of his magic, and he smiled and said to his subordinates: "Tens of thousands of years ago, powerful creatures dominated the continent, and our small humans could not compete with it at all. But then the human race was tightly united, but these powerful creatures that only existed in the legend were slaughtered, the dragon flying high in the sky, the hydra hidden in the swamp, and the Beamon galloping on the earth...... Why did these terrible creatures that could destroy thousands of humans with a single movement end up at the feet of tiny humans?"

Ryan's words caused everyone to think deeply, and Ryan continued, "The Holy Knight's charge is the most powerful attack on this continent. I admit that the Holy Knights have been blessed by the gods, but their individual strength is still far less than that of the powerful Monsters, right? When the general gives the order to charge, whether it is the terrifying ancient giant beast Beamon in front of him, or the orc legion that is a hundred times larger than his own, or the bottomless abyss, the holy knights will attack under the general's belt, without fear and without mercy. ”

Ryan shouted loudly: "Discipline, discipline! This is the biggest secret of our human beings standing on the continent for thousands of years and becoming the masters of this continent! As long as we have discipline, we human beings can connect the small forces of individuals together and gather them into a powerful torrent that can destroy everything!"

Ryan's words woke up all the elite shooters present, and they immediately understood what Ryan meant by saying this. Ryan continued, "Today, I stand here and become your squad leader. I don't care how strong you were before or how elite your archery skills were, it doesn't matter. Even if your archery is a good shot, how many enemies can you shoot with a single pull, and a group of archers who are far inferior to yours can destroy all living creatures within range with an overwhelming attack that releases the bowstring in one direction. ”

"So, the first and only military rule of Lane is to obey orders and be disciplined. There is no perfect individual, but there is a perfect group, although you are excellent in archery, but you do not have much melee combat ability, without the support of other infantry brothers, without this strong fortress, with our 50 archers alone, is it like killing all the orcs? So you are a member of the Ryan team, and the Ryan team is also a member of the defenders of the Thor Fortress, everyone cooperates with each other to give full play to the maximum combat power. And you, I want my fingers to go wherever the feathered arrows in your hands go. Elite marksmen, as elites, you should be better than ordinary soldiers in every aspect, including discipline, of course, and I hope that you can prove your own strength with your own practical actions. ”

As soon as Ryan's words fell, he heard the sound of war drums in the distance. "Knock! knock!" With this shocking sound, the gate of the orc camp was slowly pushed open, and rows of strong orcs grabbed the weapons in their hands, trotted out of the camp, and quickly gathered into the open space outside the camp, forming a neat phalanx.

Seeing that the orcs were about to attack again, Ryan gave his first order: "All of them, rest in place, be sure to relax, and be ready to fight at any time." Under Lane's orders, these elite shooters sat down on the ground one after another and began the final preparations before the battle.

Ryan, on the other hand, stood on the edge of the city wall with Elendor, Bart, and Colin to observe the movements of the orcs. After observing in the past few days, Ryan already knew that these orcs would first dispatch about 100,000 elite troops to form a formation outside the camp every time, presumably to prevent the human army from suddenly dispatching cavalry to attack while they were not firmly established. As for why the orcs always only send older warriors to battle, and those elites have not moved, Ryan is not very clear, although he has also thought of many possibilities in his mind, but what the specific situation is, he has to ask the commander of the orcs.

The elite army of orcs was well-trained and soon formed several phalanxes outside the camp. Although the distance was far away, Ryan still guessed from the reflection of the sun that these elite orc warriors definitely used refined iron weapons, and they were also wearing armor made of thick cowhide and metal armor, this kind of equipment in the human world is almost second only to the configuration of elite armies, if it weren't for the fact that Thor Fortress is the most powerful and only defense line in the north of mankind, I'm afraid that the ordinary army here does not have this level of configuration.
