At noon, the three of Ryan came to the central square of Freedom Paradise. This is the most prosperous place in the whole Freedom Paradise. Surrounding the whole square, it is a sparse building, with villas of rich merchants and powerful mercenaries. Put your headquarters here. The whole square can stand like two hundred thousand people, which is quite a huge number.
When Ryan arrived, the place was already full of people. Under Flanner's leadership, they barely found a remote place to stand. It is about 500 meters away from the observation deck in the center of the central square. It is basically impossible to see clearly the faces of those standing on the observation deck. If the surrounding is chaotic, let alone hear their voices. The only advantage is that there is no cover from the middle to the viewing platform.
After a while, Lane where they squeezed in was crowded with people, and even if they wanted to go now, they might not be able to squeeze out. Ryan suddenly came up with a ridiculous idea. If a fireball is thrown here, I am afraid it will cause a record of the number of single fireball kills since magic. Ryan shook his head mockingly. He didn't sleep last night and went back to draw scrolls after eating in the morning. It has been busy until now. It seems that it is not a good thing to be too tired. This is not.
After a while, Flanner gently pulled Laline's clothes corner and said in his ear: "Come, the old man walking in the middle is Chilaviv."
Ryan narrowed his eyes and looked closely. I saw an old man in white slowly walked up to the viewing platform. He was followed by four people, two of whom were wearing magician robes, but because of the distance, Ryan couldn't see clearly what the badge on their chest was. The other two wore cloaks, and the black cloaks enveloped them all inside, not even their faces.
Allendo's voice suddenly sounded in Ryan's ear: "The two cloaked fighters are very powerful fighters. I guess Xiao Bai can barely deal with one."
Ryan nodded slightly. As the richest man on the mainland, the chairman of the Dolock Business Alliance, the first chamber of commerce in the mainland, and the chairman of the Freedom Merchants Union, the capital of business. What.
Chilaviv walked to the front of the viewing platform, and a magician beside him hurried up to him, chanting a long spell. Ryan couldn't hear the sound of the magician, and he couldn't judge the end. What is the spell, but then again, Ryan has n’t been trained as a magician at all, even if he can hear it, if the magic is not something he will use, it ’s not that he often sees others release it, he still listens Not coming out.
A dozen seconds later, the magic was completed, and a large ball of multicolored light appeared in front of Chilaviv. At this moment, Ryan suddenly heard the coughing of an old man in his ear. Then, the old man spoke Now: "Dear Residents of Freedom Paradise, businessmen, mercenaries, and other people from all walks of life, hello!"
"Ah." Ryan exclaimed softly. He had already guessed what spell the magician was releasing. It was able to spread Chila Aviv's voice throughout the hustle and bustle of the central square. This is really an amazing magic. .
"Hey, it's amplification!" Flanner seemed to guess what Ryan and Allen thought, and he smiled and said the answer.
But none of them spoke again, because Chilaviv's voice rang again. Between a few breaths, the entire central square is silent, and the square with at least 300,000 people can be so quiet. Unless you can hear the breathing sounds, you will never believe that there are so many here. People.
"Thank you for coming here on time. Let ’s start now. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Chila Aviv, Chairman of the Free Paradise Merchants Union."
"what!"
"Wow!"
"Oh!"
"what!"
The continuous voice sounded in four rounds, it seems that many people also saw the legendary character Chilaviv for the first time, but everyone also made some sounds, and soon the central square returned to calm.
Chilaviv continued: "Just last night, we received a messenger from the northern fortress of Thor, and they brought an important message. The orcs of the North Taryn steppe are ready to go south, and they gathered a huge The army is planning to capture the Thor fortress. "
"Let them die!"
"Destroy those green-skinned bastards!"
Many grumpy guys have started shouting, and the scene is slightly chaotic, but Chilaviv immediately controlled everyone's emotions: "Yes, it is normal for everyone to have such thoughts. We are gathered today Here, it is the warriors who are ready to assist in the Thunderlord Stronghold to drive away our enemies. "
"After consultations with our 17 heads of chambers of commerce, we decided to fully support Thor ’s Fortress. The specific measures are as follows: First, all members of the Free Paradise Merchants Alliance must participate in this support operation. The Thor ’s Fortress requires a specific list of supplies, everyone You can go to the mercenary guild for free. After checking, the Fortress of Thunder God will pay at the price set by the Free Paradise Merchants Union. If you find someone who mixes inferior goods, it will be severely punished in accordance with the laws of the empire. Hang for the crime! "
"Second, all mercenary regiments registered with the Free Paradise Mercenary Guild must participate in this support operation. The specific content you will do will be issued in the form of a mission issued by the Mercenary Guild, according to your own strength. After completing the mission, You can get the corresponding remuneration. All the personnel involved must unconditionally obey the management of the Garrison Fortress, if violated, it will be severely punished in accordance with the regulations of the army! "
"Third," Chilaviv said here, paused a little. He seemed to be thinking about the wording. After a few seconds, he continued: "The Dolock Business Alliance will take the lead in sending three famous mercenaries. Two of the regiments will also send 20 magicians, and other member chambers of commerce will also send corresponding personnel. I will not describe them one by one here. I said this, mainly to remind everyone that you want to Go all out and do what you can. It may seem contradictory, but it is very important. "
"This time, the orcs are coming in fiercely, not more than usual. In the past four or fifty years, although the orcs have attacked many times, each time the scale is not large. The Thor Fortress can easily deal with even its own garrison. But this time It's different. According to current reliable information, the orc army is more than half a million! "
"500,000?!?" Hearing this number, countless people took a breath. This is really a huge number. Everyone knows that without considering training, morale, logistics, equipment, command and command, etc., only by virtue of the physical fitness between the soldiers, an orc can win three human soldiers. This half a million means that the human army defending them needs 1.5 million.
Although the human population on the entire continent may be between 50 and 60 million, the Holy Empire under the rule of the Fernando Royal Family is not a completely unified country. It implements a lord system, and the areas ruled by the lords only need to pay taxes. By the way, the population there is not managed by the Empire Central. The population directly under the rule of the Fernando royal family includes the imperial area, that is, the city of Fernando and its surrounding areas has a population of about 10 million, plus some cities such as Sunrise City and Haifeng City under the control of the Fernando royal family, the population definitely does not exceed 15 million .
And the main force that really resists the attack of the northern orcs is the soldiers recruited from this population of 15 million. The taxes that the entire empire can receive each year, after undergoing various discounts, are at most equivalent to the taxation of 20 million people. Excluding other expenses, the army actually owned by the empire is actually only about 1.7 million. And this figure includes the guard army and reserve troops, but the real elite is only 600,000. The Thor Fortress has 200,000 troops stationed throughout the year. This is one of the elite troops in the empire.
Everyone thought that the orcs were not like more than a hundred thousand people in the past. According to the custom of defending the city by one block and five, the 200,000 army of Thor ’s Fortress could resist millions of human troops, and then according to humans and orcs. The three-to-one ratio conversion is that it can defend about 300,000 orc army. But now I heard Chilaviv say that those businessmen and mercenaries who thought about making money through this war suddenly calmed down a lot. They were not stupid and immediately understood why the garrison in Thor ’s Fortress will be abnormal this year. I took the initiative to contact the South and asked for support.
Seeing what he said made the atmosphere down a lot, Chilaviv suddenly laughed and said aloud, "I know what you are thinking, but I can also tell you that sometimes, the so-called conversion ratio But it ’s a game of cowards comforting you! You all should know that two hundred years ago, after a hundred years of holocaust, human beings were attacked by the Legion of the Undead, and they were everywhere. The orcs were very powerful at that time. Some people calculated that their The army, those green-skinned guys, have a million soldiers who can fight! "
"But what is the result? Everyone knows that our great Majesty Fernando personally led a hundred thousand troops to conquer the orcs, and what his majesty Fernando's two-handed sword" Holy Avengers "refers to, the orc army was defeated even if they gathered more than Seven times as many soldiers as the human army were eventually driven out of the South Tarren prairie by His Majesty Fernando! "
"What did His Majesty Fernando rely on?" Chilaviv shouted loudly: "Who can tell me, cowards?"
"Royal Knight!" Thousands of people shouted together.
"I can't hear you, you cowards!"
"Royal Knight!" Tens of thousands of people shouted together.
"No, the voice is too quiet, haven't you eaten yet? Or are you scared to pee your pants?"
"Royal knight!" The name was roared with more than 300,000 voices, the entire free paradise central square was submerged by this huge wave, the earth seemed to tremble, and the surrounding buildings seemed to be crumbling.
"Yes, that's right!" Chilaviv said aloud: "You are right, we have an invincible royal knight, we have an invincible victory over General Orlando! As long as we are united, we can overcome all in front of us All enemies! Twenty thousand years ago, our ancestors united, slaughtered countless ancient behemoths, and gained the right to survive on this continent! Two thousand years ago, our ancestors united, conquered the entire continent, and became The master of this continent! Two hundred years ago, our Majesty Fernando, with the united humans, expelled the green-skinned orcs and built a powerful country! And today, we will also unite and use our power to destroy our enemy!"
