Chapter 687: Reunion
It's been the third year since the Void Invasion, and the human world is far more resilient than the Void creatures imagined.
After devouring most of Acacia's land, the Void Tide was about to continue its northward advance when they encountered an extremely powerful human legion, the Yellow Sand Army from the Shurima Empire.
These mighty warriors, who never die, who never tireless, who never fear, have kept the Void creatures far outnumbered by them in front of the endless mountains of the Great Barrier.
And the warriors of the Sun Clan also began to support Shurima's army, and with the support of the nascent and vibrant star god system, they began to transform the mountains against the Great Barrier.
Later, a powerful earth elemental being named Moffett began to arrive here, helping the Sun Clan to rebuild the magnificent barrier and quickly build a new Great Wall, and the yodelers of Bander City in southern Acacia began to contact the southern city-states to go north and forge a defensive line in the Stonemarten Mountains.
The Noxian army stationed at Moglon Pass also began to urgently increase its troops, at this time the Noxians had ended their long war with the Ionians and were fighting with Demacia, but with the detection of their scouts and the many warnings of the gods, they also began to realize the terrible threat of the Void, and immediately sent a large number of troops to reinforce the Great Wall of Steel.
This is because the Great Empire in the north is obviously more attractive to the Void creatures than the sparsely populated southern Valoran, so the combined forces of the Sun Clan and the Shurima Empire are also the most severely attacked, and they are in dire need of reinforcements.
The Great Barrier is steep, but a few explorers succeed in overcoming it every year, and it is a precipitous but not an insurmountable chasm for the more adaptable creatures of the Void.
At this time, Noxus was not blindly arrogant, but keenly aware of the danger, and simply stopped the attack with the Demacians.
On the contrary, the Demacians were dismissive of this for a while, until a small void rift was short-lived in the territory of Demacia, throwing tens of thousands of void creatures into one side, causing them to wreak havoc on one side and devour the lives of an entire city of Demacians, that they took the disaster of the Void invasion seriously.
Freljord, Ionia, and Bilgewater don't want to be left alone, the Void creatures are extremely adaptable, and although they are not good at swimming yet, only if they are given time, it is not impossible to cross the sea.
Gradually, when the Void Invasion lasted into the eighth month, in order to defend the Runeterra, various countries and large and small forces began to unite unprecedentedly, and formed the first force similar to the United Nations - League of Legends, based on the original War College of Transcendence and Runeterra!
With the support of League of Legends, technological equipment from Zaun and Picheng began to be installed on the Great Wall of Steel, and many of the magic arrays and crystal technologies treasured by the War College were also taken out to resist the powerful invasion of the Void.
Bilgewater's pirate fleet is always guarding the gateway to the sea in Acacia, vigilant against them to build plank roads and secretly sweep the world through the sea.
Therefore, even today, although there is an endless stream of Void creatures, they are still powerful enough to leapfrog the thunder pool of Acacia, but those Void creatures from various unstable void small rifts have caused more trauma to the Runeterra.
But it's hard for humans to keep going.
After all, it is not a local battle, although the various countries are united, but under the premise of removing and protecting each city and staying behind the mobile force, although the manpower and material resources that can be contributed are huge, they are still dwarfed by the almost infinite number of void creatures.
Many human and yodel commanders began to pessimistically believe that the Great Wall of Steel in the north could only hold on for another half a year at most, and although the defense line of the Stone Sable Mountains in the south was a little longer, if the north was broken, it would only be cold and could not last long.
......
In the huge swarm, a white figure jumped, like a sword elf, with long scarlet hair fluttering, representing the mark of death, wielding a stabbing sword, completely tearing apart the entire void swarm.
The human soldiers standing on the city wall watched this scene silently, they once again repelled the attack of a wave of Void creatures, but no one could still cheer, not even the strength to cheer, because they had already discovered that these Void creatures were simply endless, and they couldn't kill!
The H-28G Evolution Turret on the city wall, developed by the great Yodel inventor Heimerdinger, has been muted, and the Hextech turrets and guns in Leather City have long since become burning sticks, waiting for time to cool down, even those unimportant gunpowder weapons have been almost used.
As the guard officer of this section of the city wall, Rui Wen felt a sense of exhaustion and despair from the heart, she held her broken sword, silently raised her head to look at the broken banner and the indifferent numb expressions of the soldiers in the gradually gloomy weather.
She sighed, then turned her gaze back to Fiona, who was leading the elite guards to clear out the Void Hunters hidden in the ground or in corpses.
This is a very dangerous but undesirable task, otherwise the camp guarding the city wall is likely to be attacked by the other party in the middle of the night, and there are many casualties.
From the very beginning, she could see that there was no lack of Zhang Chao's shadow in the other party's use of the bayonet, although it was only an insignificant trace, but it was very important, so Rui Wen had a guess about her relationship with Zhang Chao, but she never broke it.
Since receiving Zhang Chao's guidance, Fiona's swordsmanship has become more and more perfect.
"Frela?" said Fiona, who suddenly turned sharply, and cast her eyes on the high ground beside her, where the maiden who had come with her and became the two golden flowers of Demacia was staggering with her sword.
"I'm sorry, Fiona...... I...... I may not be able to go on with you. The tall blonde girl muttered to herself, a purple spiral weapon inserted into her waist, and at this time, a steady stream of dark purple void energy was injected into the blonde girl's body.
It's a dangerous weapon, few and so rare that only the most powerful humans are worthy of the Void creatures to stab this thing into each other's bodies at any cost, transforming them into one of the Void creatures.
"You're ...... Infected?" Fiona's pupils shrank, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, the infection of the power of the void is not irreversible, as long as Solaka, Sana and other heroes who are good at healing take action.
It's a pity that none of them are here.
The powerful radiation and infection abilities of the Void Energy are not exempt even to legendary powerhouses like them, and they are often unable to kill their companions, and the result is that the Void creatures have added a general.
Freira's pupils began to protrude, and the color of reason faded into madness, and green veins spread over her body, and patches of chitin armor began to extend from her fair skin.
"I can't go back......"
Freira's tears flowed, "I can't go back, Fiona. ”
"Please, Fiona, kill me......"
She pleaded, her jaw gradually grinning, reaching her ears, and the fangs in the hideous mouth began to pierce out, piercing the flesh of her lips, stained with blood, and even more terrifying.
She's about to be transformed into a complete killing machine.
"Fiona!"
She let out an earth-shattering roar.
"Kill me!"
Rui Wen stood silently on the city wall, witnessing this scene with her own eyes, she could feel the despair and pain in Fiona's heart, but she didn't have any way to end it all - the war had begun!
She thought of Nanyin and Crow, they all died in this war like a meat grinder, the difference was that the former was unjust, and the latter was to protect the family and defend the country.
Soft snowflakes gradually drifted in the sky, and the snow fell rapidly, and soon turned from speckled to patches of snow in the shape of standard snowflakes, Rui Wen spread out her hands, letting the cold melt in her palms, and then wet.
Snowflakes will soon be able to cover up the void creatures, which will make the smell much better, but this is not good news, as it will increase the logistical pressure on the coalition forces, and the soldiers will be stretched thin on clothing and supplies.
She was startled when a heavy object suddenly fell from the sky and smashed into the corpse of the large void creature below the city, and the whole person jumped backwards, then began to look at what it was.
"Is it a person?"
The man was covered in blood and looked like he had lost his life, Rui Wen sighed, people have been dying every day lately, this front line against the invasion of the void is like a meat grinder in a slaughterhouse, living life goes in, but when it comes out, it is difficult to find even the whole corpse.
However, at this moment, Rui Wen suddenly frowned, her eyelids were jumping, that figure was somewhat familiar to her, so familiar that even if she fell into the world of death of Qianjue, she would never forget it.
"Roar-" An earth-shattering roar resounded across the earth, and the air wave swept over, and Rui Wen's attention was pulled back again.
She frowned, thinking that Fiona could solve it, but she didn't expect that her heart was not decisive enough after all, Freira was only one step away from a complete void, and at this time, Freira's reason was no longer able to control her body, and her brutal instinct began to gain the upper hand, and instinctively launched a series of attacks on Fiona, instantly suppressing Fiona.
Just as Rui Wen raised the broken sword and was about to strike, a weak voice rang out.
"I want to ...... There may be someone here who needs treatment. ”
Rui Wen suddenly turned her head, her eyes were full of incredulity, and that voice was all too familiar to her.
It's him!
It had to be him!
Certain...... If only he!
