Chapter 473: The Ryan People Are Not as Reliable as the Goblins

Something is really wrong with Ryan lately.

The border city was occupied and they were facing the orc invaders across the river. Although the people of Lion had boats, they did not dare to rush over to take back their land.

This was a great humiliation, but after countless failures, the people of Ryan realized that courage alone was meaningless.

Orcs are less afraid of death than the Lion's people. As for humiliation, the orcs have been bullied by the Lion for so many years, and they are here for revenge.

In terms of battle command, Angel Watson was indeed no match for the mysterious general.

After asking around for so long, Angel Watson also learned the name of this tough opponent - Urbano Pacheco.

A weak orc who was just over twenty years old and had never been on the battlefield before.

Urbano Pacheco was not of noble birth; on the contrary, he was a "criminal" who was slightly better than a slave.

He was sentenced to a heavy sentence for theft and has been serving time in prison ever since.

Urbano Pacheco's body was not considered strong, and he was only at the level of an ordinary orc. He was a qualified warrior when he picked up a weapon, and that was all.

What really made him stand out was a monster subjugation war. As a criminal, he was used as cannon fodder to attract wild monsters. Generally speaking, if he could not die as bait, he would be pardoned.

But Urbano Pacheco did not rely on luck, but risked being whipped to death and proposed another battle plan to the lord.

The exact details are unknown, but the net result was that Urbano Pacheco’s tactics were a great success, and thus Urbano Pacheco went from being a criminal to a retainer of the lord at the age of seventeen.

Two years later, the orcs held a national martial arts performance according to tradition. Urbano Pacheco won the championship for his lord with his commanding ability, shocking the entire orc kingdom.

You have to know that the soldiers under that lord are not even legendary, they are just cannon fodder.

But Urbano Pacheco was able to see through the movements of all his opponents and cleverly lure those powerful opponents into fighting.

When the last two legendary orc warriors fell to the ground exhausted, Urbano Pacheco emerged as the winner and successfully won the championship.

After this battle, Urbano Pacheco became completely famous.

The orcs were not really brainless, they also hoped that their commanders could make them win every battle. It was just that the previous orc generals were taller than the short ones, and their personal combat power was very strong, but they could only charge forward while howling.

There is no problem in boosting morale, but when the large army fights, the orcs are like a pile of loose sand.

This is also related to the environment in which they live.

The orc kingdom is full of mountains and ridges, so it is impossible to conduct large-scale military operations, and only small groups of elite soldiers fight each other. In this situation, it is not difficult to train strong generals, but it is difficult to train strategic talents. Without this soil, where will the talents come from?

Even if a genius appears occasionally, it is still difficult for the weak to defeat the strong.

But Urbano Pacheco seemed to be a messenger sent by the orc god Gruumsh. After winning the martial arts championship, many orcs were unwilling to accept the challenge, but as long as Urbano Pacheco himself was not allowed to fight in a one-on-one duel, all challengers would lose.

The orcs then realized that Urbano Pacheco had really been blessed by the orc god, and could communicate with any orc at any distance. Although this blessing did not seem to be in the style of this god, it was undoubtedly powerful.

The orcs prepared for a long time based on Urbano Pacheco's abilities before launching this counterattack.

The results of the battle were brilliant, putting the people of Ryan into a passive position.

Although the Emerald River is wide enough, how long can it hold back these orcs?
The command level is inferior, the manpower is insufficient, and even Ryan's most advantageous war equipment is not as good as the orcs.

Angel Watson stood on the city wall, looking at the black spots circling in the sky, and couldn't help but punch the battlement.

The punch hurt, but the pain could not hide the anxiety in Angel Watson's heart.

These things flying in the sky are getting closer and closer, and the real situation in this city can probably be seen clearly by the other party.

When the orcs attacked again, Angel Watson really didn't know if he could stop them.

This anxiety continued to torment Angel Watson until he heard the report from his personal guards that the image of a lich appeared on the magic mirror.

“It’s finally here, it’s finally here!”

Anger Watson never thought that one day he would be worried about a lich, and he never thought that he would be relieved by a reply from a lich. No matter how ironic it was, Anger Watson quickly ran to the council hall and came to the magic mirror.

"Master Ultraman, are you finally free?"

Ange Watson's voice trembled with excitement.

"I'm sorry, I was too busy recently. You know, the volcanic sea area hasn't stabilized yet, and you ran away halfway. The other commanders are not as good as you, so it's not so easy to fight."

Angel Watson's face changed. He was not as naive as his brother Alan. The lich threw the responsibility on him with just one sentence. He was afraid that the next sentence would be to ask for compensation.

Angel Watson had not been with the lich for a long time, but he knew the lich's character too well, and he would not miss the opportunity to ask for a high price.

Sure enough, Amber Xiu's next sentence was: "For the sake of your brother and father, I won't mention the compensation. You sent me messages many times saying that Ryan was going to buy an airship from me?"

Anger Watson's face was very ugly. The lich must have included the "compensation" in the price of the airship. There was no mistake. But Anger Watson had no choice but to grit his teeth and ask, "Then how much do you offer, Master Ultraman?"

Amber Xiu in the magic mirror smiled and said, "Don't ask me the price so quickly. I have a question to confirm. Are you buying on your own behalf or on behalf of Ryan? Ange, we are old friends. You must not be like your brother and be regarded as a traitor because of doing business with me. That would be so embarrassing."

Angel Watson was so angry that he wanted to use the Holy Slash, but the lich put the charge of treason on him without saying a few words.

No, I lost my composure.

Would it do the lich any good to frame him for treason? That was not what he meant.

Angel Watson couldn't figure out what Amber was thinking, so he asked, "Master Ultraman, this doesn't matter to you, right? As long as I can afford the price, the rest is my business."

"Alas, Ange, you are too arrogant. It's not like you haven't used my airship before, but it's a special form of the undead. You are Ryan. Using the undead for reconnaissance will have a more serious impact than losing the battle. I don't want you Ryan people to put the blame on me, saying that I bewitched you, and then put the blame for the defeat on me."

Angel Watson said quickly: "When has our Ryan ever done such a thing? Even when facing the undead, we never pin a non-existent crime on the other party."

“Haha, your little emperor couldn’t defeat the Githyanki and crushed your own soldiers, but what happened? It’s clearly written on the wanted list. The blame is mine.”

"This... these are two completely different things!"

Umbert stretched out a finger and shook it, then said to Ange Watson seriously, "To me it's the same thing. Ange, I don't care what your judgment standards are, to me this is a complete slander. It was Tiamat who summoned the Githyanki, and I was just a victim forced by her. However, you dared not settle accounts with the dragon goddess, and finally put all the blame on me.

"I'll tell you the truth, Ange. You Ryans have even worse credibility with me than the goblins. If you can't produce proof that the Ryan Empire allows trading, I will never do business with you, lest you rob me and frame me for multiple crimes."

Angel Watson could hardly hold back and draw his sword for Holy Slash. It was the first time in his life that he heard someone compare the Lion people with the goblins, and it was a question of credibility.

But what made Ange Watson even more angry was that he had no way of refutating it.

Although the lich's words were exaggerated, what he said was true to some extent.

As a paladin, Ange Watson couldn't lie with his eyes open.

But Anger Watson was much more mature than Allen after all. He quickly forced himself to calm down, and said to Amber Xiu with a wry smile: "Haha, is this how my brother felt at the beginning? Master Ultraman's mouth is indeed something that even gods would be afraid of. But, Master Ultraman, are you really worried about this? Even though you are the first on Ryan's wanted list, aren't you affected? As for the payment issue, you don't need to worry about it at all, because I can pay the full amount first."

"Pay the full amount first? Aren't you afraid that I won't ship the goods to you after I take the money?" Amber Xiu asked.

Angel Watson said: "Although Master Ultraman thinks Ryan has no credibility, in my opinion, you still value your own credibility. You will not destroy the reputation you have built up for such a small amount of money. That would be a huge loss."

"That's amazing. It turns out that Alan is the dumbest of all the sons James gave birth to."

Amber Xiu really didn't want to take Black Ryan's money, because doing so would definitely not be worth the cost.

But Amber would not agree so easily.

"Ange, no matter what you promise, I will not believe you easily. After all, the orcs are my beloved relatives and friends. If I do business with you, it will be equivalent to betraying them. Not only will the price be very high, I have another condition."

Ange Watson asked quickly: "What are the conditions?"

An Boxiu said very seriously: "Let your emperor talk to me in person. Let him tell me in person that he allowed this deal and he will never go against us. This condition is not too difficult for you, right?"
