XXXVII. Go to Zaun and catch a thief
readx;? At the camp training ground, many people were watching Britz, and the retainers pointed at it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Holding a barrel of wine, Gulagas took a sip and said, "It's good to be as fat as me." Hey, I said you made it after my muscular body, and did it drink, or did it drink oil?"
Jax shook his head and said, "That's called robustness, it looks too bloated, and it affects agility." I don't know how powerful it is, without the same strength as you (the barrel), this thing has no fighting power. ”
Zelos had a keen hearing and reminded, "Don't underestimate this machine, pay attention to the sound of its arc, I feel that the sound is interfering with the flow of magic in my body." ”
Lux, who has just recovered from a serious illness, watches with the support of Zyra.
Zyra shuddered, and seeing that Lux was confused, Zyra said, "I hate metal, the kind that moves, and the sound reminds me of the sound of axes used to cut wood." ”
Lux's face was still a little pale, and Kyle was telling the sister-in-law: "The black fire that comes out of that body is easy to rekindle, and you don't need to use magic easily until you fully recover." A little further away from this metal can, I also felt that it was a little weird. ”
Morgana approached and watched: "It's been steaming in the back, and it should be remodeled again, changed to an electric pot, so that things can be steamed." ”
The green light of Blitz's mechanical eye flashed red, indicating that it was angry: "Blitz is not a kitchenware, don't be changed to a steaming kitchenware!" and waved a few big iron fists.
Caterina was surprised, "It's angry, is it really self-aware?!"
Ezreal whispered, "It's the self-consciousness of the burning gem, and I've created a metal body for it. ”
Morgana lost his temper: "I'm going to change you into a kitchen utensil for steaming things!"
Blitz's mechanical eyes lit up red, and it turned to look at Ezreal.
Ezreal: "I'll allow you to fight Morgana, but not her." ”
Morgana was stunned for a moment, and said indifferently, "Hurt me, what can you do to me, this stupid guy!" and her tone suddenly changed to exclamation, as she was carelessly hit by Blitz's mechanical claws, and her body was held by a huge iron fist.
Thankfully, Blitz had a list of targets in his program that could not be harmed, and Morgana was on the list. Ezreal added another order to be on the safe side.
This stunned everyone, they didn't expect Britz's bulky iron fist to strike so quickly.
Britz said mechanically, "Morgana, you change... For the purpose just now, I let you go. ”
Morgana wanted to use her magic to give herself a dark shelter, but the electricity from the Iron Fist suppressed the flow of magic in her body, and she was surprised to find that she couldn't use any magic.
Morgana: "Damn, what kind of electricity is this!" "Put me down, you kitchenware!"
Blitz was upset, and the red light of the mechanical eye lit up crimson.
The silent current lasted for a while, and the negative current that suppressed the magic returned to zero, turned positive, and began to enhance the magic. Britz's Iron Fist multiplies in power, and in its CPU calculations, the target cannot be shaken off.
But the calculations apparently ignore Morgana's magic. As soon as Morgana was able to use magic, she immediately unleashed a dark shelter for herself, and the dark barrier she held up opened her iron fist. Britz's crimson mechanical eyes flickered, alternating yellow, green, and red, indicating that it was puzzled by the outcome. Morgana took the opportunity to break free and stay away from Britz.
Ezreal saw it in his eyes and assessed Blitz's combat power, this nascent robot has too little data collection, too little combat experience, and the CPU will fall into a "standby" endless loop of repeated calculation plans when it encounters problems.
Ezreal: "Britz, end the battle with Morgana and wait for my next order." ”
Britz's flickering mechanical eyes turned green, then to standby yellow, and Ezreal freed Britz from the cycle by order.
Everyone has a general idea of Britz's ability.
Britz also has the ability to interfere with the Crystal's magical equipment, which Ezreal didn't let him show. The Scarlet Elite still has eyes and ears from the outside world, and the Interference Crystal will be a trump card.
It was harvest day, and Ashgam returned from Zaun with his permission to take refuge in Zaun, and the Scarlet Elite was able to go north.
Ezreal presided over a group of retainers to clean up the dust for Ashgam. It was a matter of course that Ezreal would preside over it, and in the eyes of the retainers, Ezreal would stay in Katerina's tent for two days and two nights, and they all knew it.
Ashgam said as he ate and drank, "That's the general situation. Following the route marked on this map, to the outside world, we are switching guards with the Warwick Biochemical Corps in Zaun. ”
Ezreal cast a barrier technique to shield eavesdropping, his expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "This road is too narrow and long, what if someone ambushes us on the road?"
Ashgam: "The path is in the west, and the road is in the east." But there are defensive towers on the eastern border! Originally, Zaun and Noxus were allied, and there were no garrisons on the border for a long time. But when I returned, I had already seen that the tower's magic cover had cut off the passage, so I took a long detour of the path and delayed my return for several days. We're left with the trail. ”
Katerina: "So, you walked along the path, are you sure there is nothing on the other side of the path, no trace of the army?"
Ashgam: "I went back and looked around, and there was nothing but hibernating beasts. ”
Ezreal did not doubt Ashgam's loyalty, and believed that Ashgam was a careful man, but he still had concerns.
Gulagas: "I hate climbing the mountain most of all the way up the mountain! Can't you take the big road to the east? ”
Jax: "We went to Zu'an this time, and many soldiers brought their families, old and young, and the south side of Iron Ridge Mountain was the steepest. Maybe many magical families, children and the elderly can also do magic, and can be regarded as ordinary sturdy, but my intuition tells me that it is better not to take the path. ”
"We'll explain our difficulties to Zaun on the pretext of carrying the old and the young," Zelos proposed, and asked to take the main road to the east. ”
It was a path very close to Ironridge Mountain, and Ezreal was beating a drum in his heart, could it be that Svein saw through his intentions?
After thinking about it, Ezreal rejected the idea again, after all, the expedition required a lot of preparation.
Warwick's change of defense, this position, should be a cover for the Zaun army to prepare to invade Ionia.
Zaun's army was too maneuverable, and it was inevitable that the Ionians would not be suspicious, but a few thousand biochemical troops were strategically important and could prevaricate on the grounds of maintaining law and order and preventing pirates.
Against the cunning, the focus is on the purpose of catching the opponent.
Knowing that Svein's purpose was still Ionia, Ezreal estimated that Svein would not have many troops and resources to mobilize. If you take the risk of taking a small road, it is undoubtedly an opportunity for others to use part of their forces to destroy themselves, and it is safe to play a side game and find a slightly criticized excuse to take the big road. Pinching the opponent can't attack himself with great fanfare at this time.
There is a reference to this, the new .4 Army went north according to the route planned by the opponent, and the result was that the regiment was wiped out...
Ezreal: "I agree with Jax, whether there are ambushes or not, the enemy should not be given a chance to strike a fatal blow at us. ”
If the enemy deliberately hides it, there are many people who are more skilled in magic than Ashgam.
Ezreal ordered: "Tell everyone to leave camp and go north and take the path. Let's pretend to take a small path and let out the wind to confuse the enemy. The road ahead will be adventure, and the road ahead will probably be a graveyard. The spies hiding in the ranks, the wavering ones, will be left behind. ”
Ezreal intends to use this operation to put the team in order.
Ezreal pointed to the map and said, "We reached the valley junction a few miles, then turned back the way we came, killed all the betrayers, and turned north on the main road. ”
The crowd held their breath.
Caterina applauded, "Good idea! Anyone who betrayed the Duke Kao family must die!" and asked, "Then how do we get through the magical barrier of the towers on the main road, the opponent's intentions are obvious, and it is clear that this way is not going through." ”
Ezreal: "I've figured it out, I'll talk about it later." ”
Jax: "What about Warwick's Biochemical Legion, is there going to be a fight?"
Ezreal: "My plan includes how to get rid of the army that stands in my way. We're not afraid to engage anyone, but Warwick is good at poisoning, and if a team is poisoned to death, Warwick can use the epidemic as an excuse to excuse it. So we'd better not make contact with Warwick's Biochemical Corps. ”
More than 2,000 blood-colored elites set off to the north.
At the top of the valley of the path, a tall warrior in armor and carrying a giant axe looked out at the mouth of the valley in the distance.
"Hey, brother, I really want to do this, after all, the other party is a friendly army, it is the army of Noxus. ”
"Svein is very serious about the movement of this team, and when a team is out of control, the best thing to do is to eliminate it, you know, Draven. ”
It was two brothers, Darius and Delevingne.
Draven's expression was a little regretful: "Maybe Svein overdid it this time, that Tyrone, I know him." His inner world is complex and inscrutable, which is why it gives people a sense of being out of control. But he was a man of grievances. ”
Darius patted his brother on the shoulder, "I know what you mean. Able to kill Archbishop Demacia, he is a good warrior. However, both Tyrone and Caterina are people of Duke Kao, who has been at odds with Svein for hundreds of years. Anything will go wrong in the future, and it's best to eliminate them as soon as possible. ”
Darius looked in the direction of Noxus City: "I don't allow Noxus to have two very different voices. ”
Draven didn't like war, preferring to be a warden, away from the front lines, quietly doing his potion research.
Dravin: "Do you dominate the whole Valoran world?"
Darius: "Yes. The united Noxus can dominate the whole of Valoran, and it should be!" In a straightforward tone, "A long time ago, Noxus was the city in the sky that saved all mankind, and without Noxus there would be no all mankind, and Noxus is qualified to dominate all of Valoran!"
Darius's preaching begins, and Draven responds vaguely, saying that he doesn't like his brother's political lessons.
Delevingne changed the topic and said: "Brother, you have already been demoted once before, this time you have transferred troops to snipe without authorization, and if you are demoted, you will have no military power, and you will be an adjutant for others!"
Darius didn't care and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as you can completely solve the Duke Kao family, it's worth it!" said in his heart, who dares to be the main general of the Great Noxian Hand?
Today it is destined that the two brothers' wait will be in vain.
The elite team turned back halfway through, and the vanguard caught up with the fleeing betrayers and killed them one by one.
The party arrived at the border, across a river, looking at the vast magical barrier that had divided the land, and the Warwick legion on the other side of the barrier seemed to have not yet arrived.
Ezreal decisively ordered the capture and control of the main base of the tower complex.
Britz's interference crystal emitted a sound wave that interrupted the magic crystal at the main base. All towers fail, and the Scarlet Elite takes the opportunity to capture the main base. The border guards had a blue face, because according to the Noxian military system, the Scarlet Elite was the main force, and they had the right to take over the military fortresses along the way during the march.
Ezreal disarmed the tower's defenders, three hundred men, and put them under house arrest.
Ezreal had Zyra summon a large dense woods, hastily conceal the group, and set up an empty camp outside the magic shield. This is to create the illusion of being blocked by a magic cover.
When Warwick arrived, he looked at the camp on the other side of the magic shield and knew that the Scarlet Elite had not taken a small path, and Warwick could only carry out the second plan.
Warwick was overjoyed to see a few Scarlet Elite soldiers fetching water by the river, which was too much in line with Warwick's plan.
At night, Warwick sent someone to inform the main base: quietly open the magic cover, Warwick's biochemical legion, one by one, put on anti-gas protective gear, along the river, with the help of the moonlight on the river at night, slowly touched the upstream to drop the virus. Suddenly, the magic shield opened again, separating the Biochemical Legion from the outside, and no matter how much they scolded, they no longer turned on.
Warwick finally realizes that he has been fooled, but he can only watch. As Zaun's army, taking over Noxus' defense towers was inevitably encroaching, and Warwick's approach to taking care of Noxus's face allowed Ezreal to take advantage of it.
Three days later, the barrier was lifted, and Ezreal's team quietly left the main base, while the large force had already arrived in Zaun.
In Zu'an, the sky is covered with a thick layer of haze, which is much more "beautiful" than that of a certain country on the earth, green, but not environmentally friendly green, but chemical green! Gray and green have become the main colors you see when you look up at the sky. Citizens of Zuan wear masks to avoid inhaling too many air pollutants.
On the streets of Zu'an, you can see wanderers, beggars, and pairs of thieves along the way. This group of ill-intentioned eyes is fixed on a group of outsiders with accents from Southern Noxus, but they are afraid of the outsider's force. The group was Ezreal's team, and they were on their way to join up with Caterina's team. The Scarlet Elite is stationed north of Zaun. The small number of the group was allowed to pass through the city of Zuan, and by the way, they visited the scenery of Zuan.
In the squad, there are Kyle, Morgana, as well as Britz, more than twenty elite warriors and mages. After being sniped by Svein last time, the angelic sisters did not leave an inch, for fear that Ezreal would have an accident and no one would help them suppress the Three Calamities.
The poverty, pollution of Zaun reminded Ezreal of his days at the bottom of Noxus, which were equally full of stench and crime.
Kyle: "See, this is Zaun, I said you wouldn't like it here." ”
Morgana: "It's terrible, let's hurry out of the city and meet, the city is full of exhaust pipes, it stinks and stuffy, get out of the city and take a breath." ”
At this time, a dirty girl wearing a cloak leaned over: "My lord, it's so cold, I haven't eaten for a few days, it's okay." "The eyes were pitiful. "Get out of here!" the sergeant who followed him stepped forward to stop and scold. Pushing and shouting, the girl walked away with a frightened face, for fear of being punched and kicked by the sergeant.
Ezreal's eyes narrowed, and he said in his heart, "Thief?!"
The girl's movements were fast and skillful, and she deliberately made a gesture of being pushed away, and the moment she leaned up, she stole the sergeant's money bag while the sergeant was not paying attention.
Kyle: "What's wrong?" little yellow hair, just looking at that little beggar doing it, that girl is so dirty, are you..."
Ezreal: "She's a thief who just stole our money. ”
Ezreal is embarrassed, Kyle is actually worried that Lux is too young and having a child too early will affect his health. Angels are gods, and when they look at humans, they look at "a certain species" with the eyes of "a certain species".
Ezreal was speechless about this, but he didn't expect to be seated by Kyle again this time. And this female thief reminded Ezreal of the days when she stolerate. Zuan is so poor that it's hard to imagine how a little girl can survive without parental care. Ezreal believes that those who are habitual thieves are a minority, and the vast majority of people will not steal.
Taking a step back, the girl is still young and has a high chance of correction.
Kyle: "What?!" Slightly surprised, the sturdy figure flashed with golden light, and an acceleration, disappearing in the eyes of others as if in an instant, and when she saw her again, she had grabbed the girl's arm with one hand and lifted the girl up, and the girl's small hand was still holding the sergeant's money bag.
Kyle shouted violently, "Pickpocket! According to the law of Zu'an, the thief must cut off a hand!" He pulled out the sword from the sheath and pulled the girl's palm, only to hear the sound of the sword's blade, and the girl's long-uncut nails fell off, and the onlookers all took a breath.
Ezreal also startled the female tyrant, and for a moment, he really thought that Kyle was going to destroy a little girl. It turned out that Kyle was just taking the opportunity to stand up and deter Xiaoxiao.
Kyle shouted, "Miss your young age, let you go this time, get out!"
Kyle shoved the girl behind her back, not wanting to pull it off and shake off the girl's cloak.
"Look! This girl is an elf", "What long ears!"
The wanderers on the side of the road whispered and whispered, and the eyes that looked at the girl turned greedy one by one. Elves, i.e. Ionians with long ears who were trafficked to Zaun, were believed to have magical talents.
Recently, a few wanderers rushed to catch the girl. As long as you catch her and sell her, it will be a lot of windfall.
The girl was terrified, how could she be able to resist the strength of these adults? But the uncles in front of them were comically frozen in mid-air, motionless, and when they looked closely, there was a black translucent column, which sealed the uncles in the pillar like carvings. It's Morgana's Dark Prison.
Ezreal asked Morgana to save the girl.
Before Ezreal could breathe a sigh of relief, Morgana whispered, "I don't feel any magic fluctuations in her body, and the length of her ears may not work." Or do you really have a special hobby for little girls, as your sister said?"
The girl's long ears moved, and Morgana's whispered words from afar made her hear, and her eyes were filled with despair.
In the girl's heart: the mage sister who wants to chop off her fingers, the rich young master with bad thoughts.
Ezreal said embarrassedly, "Don't talk nonsense!" put on a self-righteous smile and approached the girl: "What's your name?" Can you tell your brother, who promises that no one will hurt you." ”
Ezreal's sunny and high looks, with a slightly magnetic bel canto, communicate with the girl's heart like magic.
The girl said timidly: "Do you really promise that you won't hurt me, I... My name is Jana. ”
Picked up the baby.
