Chapter 407: Prologue to the Campaign

Ionia, Tempest Gym

This is a sword pine forest, the branches and leaves are like swords, very sharp, plus generations of swordsmen of the Wind Cave have practiced swords here, so it is contaminated with all kinds of mysterious sword intents, and it is the cultivation holy place of the entire Wind Cave second only to the Sword Shrine. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Today's sword pine forests still have a dark green appearance, and unlike ordinary pine trees, they do not wilt half of their branches and leaves all year round, even in the coldest winters.

There are poems on the earth: the heavy snow presses the green pine, and the green pine is straight and straight. It is said that pine trees are evergreen, but in fact, they also have some yellowish leaves to a greater or lesser extent, and it is impossible to achieve a complete evergreen tree like sword pine.

There are pine and there are squirrels, and these mischievous elves seem to be accustomed to moving and jumping among the sharp pine leaves, and they are not afraid of people when they step on the thick snow on the branches, so they squat on the branches in groups of three or five to watch the men under the trees practice their swords.

Many people think that squirrels hibernate, and in fact they do, but most of the hibernating pine trees are ground squirrels, squirrels that live on the ground as the name suggests.

In fact, the real "squirrels" that live on the pine trees do not hibernate under normal circumstances, so why would the tree squirrels be busy storing food for the winter if they are not born with a hard life?

You must know that squirrels in hibernation basically do not eat or drink, and they do not need to store so much food when they wake up a few times once in a while.

Suddenly, with the sound of a sword, the man took a long breath, and the rapidly flowing wind around him suddenly stopped and turned into silence.

He stretched, took two bags of dried fruit out of his pocket, clapped his hands at the squirrels squatting on the tree, and smiled as the group of little beings fell on him happily.

"Yasuo!" a striding man strode up, and when he got closer, he was not very short, but only because he was too strong to give the illusion of being short and thick.

Yasuo turned his head and a smile appeared on his face: "Senior brother, is there something wrong, you won't come to me for a drink again?"

The stout man grinned, their relationship was so good that no one would have thought that a year later Yasuo would have cut him down by his own sword.

"Hahaha, is your senior brother and I the kind of guy who only drinks and plays in your mind?"

The stout man muttered as he lifted the big fluffy tail of a squirrel, threw it on his shoulder, and then reached into the paper bag in Yasuo's hand and grabbed a handful of melon seeds.

"Aren't you drinking?" Yasuo blinked, handing out dried fruit to the squirrels as he swallowed the melon seeds himself.

The stout man sneered: "Wine is naturally to be drunk, but business is also to be discussed." ”

Yasuo shrugged his shoulders and wrapped a pile of melon seeds and dried fruits in his hands, and then when he spread his hands slightly harder, there were only melon seeds and a pile of powder inside.

As soon as he raised his hand, all the powder drifted away in the wind, leaving only a handful of nuts that he threw into his mouth contentedly.

The stout man whistled, and the little squirrels immediately picked up the scattered dried fruits and returned to the sword pine.

"Senior brother, you just broke through to half-step platinum last month, didn't you expect this to be able to achieve such nuanced control, it seems that in less than half a year, you are expected to achieve epic and take over the blade of the wind. ”

The stout man is actually not without envy in his heart, but in the end, it is Yasuo's senior brother who has grown up since he was a child, and there are still more gratifying emotions in this after all.

Yasuo smiled, his hand just now was already close to the means of the platinum powerhouse to some extent, after all, if he didn't condense his divine sense, it would not be easy to use his sword qi to smash those husks in an instant without hurting the kernels.

While chatting, the two came to a small river together, and the river was covered with a thick layer of ice in winter, and the two sat down on the ground by the river, one took the treasured wine, and the other went down to the river to catch two fatty fish.

Fish are different from plants, and although it is a silent and lifeless winter, it is actually the fattest time of the year when the fish are at this time.

Set up a fire, warm wine, and then serve it with two large fat fish with charred and crispy skin, and in a short time both of them were slightly drunk.

"Senior brother, let me tell you, we may be going to war. The stout man sighed.

Yasuo was surprised, "How do you know?"

The stout man said: "I heard from my uncle, the Noxians are coming again, and it is said that because a man named Du Kekao has just killed Darkwell and achieved the position of great general, so he wants to attack us." ”

"As the saying goes, isn't it good, the new official has three fires, and I think this guy is going to burn the fire to our Ionia. ”

Yasuo snorted: "So what, if they dare to come, aren't they afraid that our Great Dao Pavilion will beat them to pieces?"

The stout man was obviously not as optimistic as Yasuo, who was still a rookie, but said worriedly: "The Equilibrium Sect generally doesn't care about things, they are engaged in equilibrium all day long, and they obviously have no feelings for us Ionia, and I heard about their ...... a few days ago. Hung up. ”

Yasuo's face changed slightly: "You mean ...... Master Du?"

The stout man nodded, in their opinion, the reason why the Equilibrium Sect has always suppressed them is only because of Master Du, a diamond powerhouse, and the prestige of the Ionian Triumvirate is naturally not to be underestimated.

Now that Master Du is dead, it should have been a good thing for them, but it happened to be a very awkward time.

"Yes, he's dead, and our power is already loose, and there isn't much connection between the provinces. ”

"There aren't many professional soldiers like the Norborns, I'm worried and puzzled, how are we going to fight this battle?"

The stout man's tone gradually became heavier, although he looked rough, but in fact his mind was more delicate than anyone else's.

Yasuo frowned: "Are the Normen really so strong?"

The stout man sighed, "You know the three most elite legions of our Ionians...... That's what we formed in imitation of the Noxians, and in Noxus, such an army could be gathered at will, twenty or thirty. ”

"And this, they themselves have nearly thirty standing legions, and together there are 500,000 terror troops, which is simply not something that our army can resist. ”

Yasuo sighed, he was just a little inexperienced, but he wasn't stupid, so he didn't say anything stupid like we would destroy them directly.

In fact, even in terms of high-end combat power, Noxus far surpassed the Ionians, and this seems to explain why in later generations, Zhang Chao did not find that the Noxians had sent particularly strong high-end combat power.

It is probably because the top brass of both sides have agreed on some kind of treaty, so that those powerful beings who can easily destroy an army from above do not intervene in this kind of worldly war.

ps: Yasuo is going to be redone, heart-stopping.
