Chapter 244: Emergency Military Order (2)
"I'm afraid...... He won't refuse. Victor smiled bitterly and said, "Originally, at the level of a high-level magician. I held Blair down on the head, and his magic legion was obviously against the Royal Knights of Orlando, and if a full-scale war broke out, Blair would not be able to support them. Now there is one more Ryan Magister in the Imperial Capital, and as a result, Catherine actually ran to Mochizuki City, and there is also an Mage over there, and everyone's strength has returned to the original point. ”
"No, you don't have to worry about my face. Ryan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm not as strong as Catherine, and if Blair and Catherine fight against the two of us, I'm definitely going to hold you back." ”
"3 months, we just need to delay it for 3 months. Farath spoke suddenly.
"Three months, is that enough, Ryan?" Victor knew what Farath was pointing, but he didn't know how much time it would take to inherit the staff, so he looked at Ryan with a puzzled look.
Ryan thought for a moment and replied, "It should be about the same, it doesn't take much time to inherit the power, but suddenly you have a strong power, it must take a while to get used to it, otherwise it will be difficult to control the strength, and you don't want to destroy half of the street with a fireball technique, right?"
"Then I'll go now, Ryan, I don't think there will be much of a problem in the short term, right?" said Faras, facing Ryan.
Without waiting for Ryan to answer, Victor and Orlando said almost in unison, "No, your wedding can't be interrupted." ”
"Why?" asked Faras, puzzled, "Isn't the power of the Inheritance Staff as good as this?" I don't think Ryan would mind, would I, Ryan. ”
"It's not about you and Ryan, it's about the imperial capital and Cassano. Orlando said: "Now that the whole thing has begun to be prepared, and the invitations have been sent out, and you suddenly interrupt, it will not only affect the imperial capital, but even greatly damage Cassano's morale, don't you know these things?"
"However, the current power comparison between the imperial capital and Mochizuki City ......" Faras quickly defended himself, but Victor directly interrupted Faras's words with powerful words: "Changing the order is a taboo for the administration, and your wedding with Ryan is not only a private matter, but also means the union of the two forces." The recent series of events in the imperial capital also need this happy event to boost everyone's morale, so it must not be stopped. As for Mochizuki City, you don't need to worry too much about anything, Blair and the others won't be stupid enough to be the first to jump out and challenge the imperial capital. ”
"Yes, if the army is sent, then there is a good chance that Seker City will strike first, but this is my business. Orlando also spoke slowly: "At present, the reorganization of the imperial capital army is still continuing, but the reorganization of 200,000 people in three legions has been completed, including your Jonas legion. In addition, the 5,000 Holy Knights under my command are ready to go into battle. These forces are sufficient to deal with attacks from 2 different directions. ”
Victor continued: "Yes, time is in our favor, and we are not afraid to procrastinate. Faraz, you should devote yourself to the preparation of the wedding now, after all, this kind of thing can be like this once in a lifetime. Ryan you might have to send more of your men to meet Cassano, and if you have to, you can even go back, just before the wedding, oh, by the way, how many troops do you have that you can put into battle?"
"There are about 30,000 infantry, 3,000 marksmen, and 500 magic apprentices, but only 120 are useful. Ryan knew that his figure was too ugly for the imperial capital, but he had to tell the truth, after all, this kind of thing was not a joke.
"The number of people is a little smaller, but the people on the Cassano side are only 200,000, and it is already rare to maintain an army of 3 or 40,000, and fortunately, the Cassano side is rich in food. Orlando didn't care about this small number, even though the entire Cassano army was not as large as the Imperial Capital's legion.
"Well, then Cassano has little left to support our side. Faras said with some regret.
"Hahahaha!" Orlando pointed at Faras and laughed, in Faraz's surprised eyes, Orlando smiled and said to Faraz, "The entire area of the imperial capital has a population of more than 15 million and an army of nearly 1 million, if Cassano needs to send men to support us, it would be too embarrassing, right?"
When Faras heard Orlando's words, she realized that she had thought badly, and she couldn't help but feel funny about the thought she had just had, but Victor added at the right time: "I still suggest that Cassano send an army to the imperial capital, preferably this army also has the strength to fight, rather than an ordinary honor guard." ”
"Oh, what do you mean?" Orlando raised his eyebrows, his words questioning, but his gaze was clear, and it was clear that he had already thought of the implicit meaning of Victor's words.
Faras and Ryan looked at each other and found that the other party was the same as herself, and did not understand the meaning of Victor's words, so the two of them asked together, "Is this ...... What does that mean exactly?"
"It's actually quite simple, because the Royal Knights also have troops in Cassano. Orlando spread his hands and explained: "As a friendly ally, Cassano will inevitably garrison troops in the imperial capital, and it will save people with ulterior motives to provoke." ”
"Oh! I see. Ryan suddenly realized, indeed, Victor's proposal would definitely put Cassano in a position equal to the imperial capital, and when the situation was urgent, the imperial capital could also use this method to increase some troops in Cassano to help Cassano survive the crisis.
Now that the imperial capital army is reorganized, Cassano's army is also in a time when it is being trained and has not yet formed combat effectiveness, it can be said that this is the weakest time for the two forces, Victor can think of this, and he doesn't want Cassano to make any mistakes, after all, the imperial capital rules over a vast area, in case of an enemy invasion, it can also be fortified and cleared, but Cassano is such a big place, once the army is pressing, there is no room for strategic maneuver, and losing any piece of land will have a great blow to Cassano's military and civilian morale.
"Then I'll make arrangements right away, but I don't need to go back unless Cassano is overwhelmed by the enemy. Ryan understood what Victor and Orlando meant: "Now a large part of Cassano's power is in the hands of Adams and his family, but the combination of Emilio and Seremis can just compete with Adams and them, and even a little stronger, I am not worried about any changes, after all, Adams can watch me destroy the entire mansion with his own eyes." ”
"Then ......" Faras stopped talking, and Ryan didn't need to listen to it to guess what Faras was thinking, he smiled and said, "Managing government affairs and governing territories is not what I'm good at. Although I can learn, I don't plan to do it, after all, I rely on my own magic power to unify the entire Cassano, and the stability of Cassano in the future still depends on my magic power, so ......"
"So you can simply improve your own strength, delegate power to your subordinates, and let them govern the territory with their hearts. Victor said, "Yes, yes, yes, Ryan, you're the first lord I've ever seen who could do that, and everyone else is holding that bit of power in their hands." ”
"If you need any help, just ask. Orlando nodded at Ryan, and only said that.
Seeing that the surrounding situation was unfavorable to him, but the four of them could only use a passive delaying strategy in the end, which made Ryan, who liked to suppress and strike first, feel very uncomfortable, but Cassano's power was not as dominant as Ryan's own strength on the entire continent, so this also greatly stimulated Ryan, and he secretly made up his mind to wait until the wedding was over, and immediately return to Cassano to strengthen the training of the three elite troops, as long as they are officially formed, Cassano can really step into the wrestling of this continent.
Sitting on the return carriage, Faras looked at the crowds coming and going on the streets on both sides of the street melancholy, feeling very aggrieved in his heart, after all, with the power of the imperial capital, he has been in a situation of being passively beaten after the defense of the imperial capital, and anyone will feel very uncomfortable, especially if he can turn the tables as long as he takes a breath of relief, but there is no time to breathe a sigh of relief.
"What are you thinking?" Ryan saw that Faras's mood didn't seem to be very good, so he said warmly, "Still worried about the situation in the imperial capital?"
"yes, Ryan. Faras lowered the curtains, leaned lazily on the carriage, did not speak, sighed first, and then said worriedly: "I have heard people say that things will always go in the direction you least want it to happen, and the situation will always be a little worse than you think, I ......"
"Okay, are you going to be a philosopher? you should continue to be a magician, a promising profession!" Ryan deliberately joked with Faras, to ease Farrath's mind.
Farass pinched a few handfuls under Ryan's ribs, and then said angrily and funny: "I hate it, where did you hear about these flowers! Hmph, Ryan, did you hear that our wedding date will not be delayed, so you are very proud in your heart, Miss Ben is such a jade and clear rose, so cheap for you." ”
"No, I ......," Ryan quickly discerned.
"No, what, you don't plan to marry me?" Faras grabbed Ryan's unfinished words and forcibly understood them into another meaning, she said viciously, "You dare to abandon me? believe it or not...... Hmm!"
Ryan put his arms around Farass and kissed her hard, because Ryan knew that the best thing to do when she was messing around with Faras was to make her speechless again, like now.
The two of them kissed desperately in the carriage, and the lively street market outside the carriage made the two of them deaf, but at such a long moment, there was a rush of horses' hooves on the street, and Ryan let go of Faraz in surprise, but saw that Faraz under him was also full of doubts.
"Your Excellency the Archon, General Orlando has something to ask you to go back immediately!" came the voice of the Holy Knight outside the carriage, the Orlando guard who had come to the Lion King's Pride Inn before.
"Is something happening again?" Ryan and Farath looked at each other, the thought in their minds at the same time.
