Chapter Eighty-Three: Soldiers Descend on the City
Is it a trick?
"Be careful, this guy's attack is really weird!" Reginard said. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Pretending to be a ghost! No matter how much you conjure, I'll blow them up one by one! Akali let out a roar of rage, and her body shot out of the ground.
Her speed was hard to discern with the naked eye, after all, how fast the shadow could extend as fast as the speed of light, and in the blink of an eye, the sharp scythe blade sliced through the clown's body, cutting him off violently!
The clown didn't have time to raise the blades of his hands to resist, and even the strange smile on his face froze on his face before it could turn into horror.
This terrible offensive!
Reginard couldn't help but start to weigh up what his chances of winning would he have if he fought against this ninja with a mysterious ninja - even if he saw her path of action with the pupil of fate, it was too fast, and it was not easy to react, and besides, this ninjutsu came from the shadow, no matter how fast the body was, it was not easy to dodge, and he could only try to block.
But in the clown's terrible wound, not a drop of blood flowed, the smile on his face was even more weird and crazy, and his body exploded into a pile of dust and ribbons with a "poof", like the kind of fireless fireworks in the festival.
A clown suddenly leaps at her and slashes at her, Akali raises his blade to block it, and with her other hand it has already sent the sharp scythe into the clown's body.
There was a sudden chill behind her, and in the corner of her eye, the figure of a clown appeared behind her at some point.
Cold sweat from the corners of his forehead cut down his cheeks.
The sharp palm wind in the air suddenly pierced through the space and landed on the clown's body.
The force of the palm had already been offset by most of it during the conduction, and the blow was not painful or itchy on the body, and the clown was just stunned, and looked across a pair of eyes and looked at Li Qing who had not made a move on the side.
Was it because he was blind and couldn't see where he was, so he struck this ridiculous blow?
But this attack, Reginard is very familiar with it, the legendary echo strike, the palm wind mixed with the wind whirlwind, is exactly the same as the positioning method of bats, relying on the echo that is difficult for ordinary people to capture to locate the opponent!
Only Li Qing, who closed his eyes and abolished his vision to the extreme, could cultivate a peerless martial art!
Immediately after, the bronze figure flew out and slammed into the clown's body. The clown tried to scare Li Qing back with a sharp blade in fright, but Li Qing was unmoved, and insisted on resisting the flying blade with his arm, and the body shrouded in gold thread was like a golden bell, and the sound of the bell was to bounce the blade away, and he kicked the clown in the side of the face.
The clown's body flew backwards, and countless other clowns in the room also disappeared in an instant, not exploding like they had been defeated by Akali before, but simply disappearing.
"I see, that's it." Reginard said as he propped himself up, coughing twice.
"What?"
"I didn't expect it to be an illusion. It's just that the magic circle is hidden in his clown makeup, and I think the same is true of the puppet in the scare box. I didn't expect to use this colorful heavy makeup to blend well with the lines of the illusion magic array, but such a fancy makeup is particularly eye-catching. No wonder it can launch such a weird attack...... It's been a long day to see. ”
"In that case, it's okay not to look at that annoying face!" Akali raised the corners of one side of her mouth, and her smile was fierce, and the mystery was activated in the blink of an eye.
The Joker's narrow blade collided with Akali's scythe, but this time no matter how dexterous the Joker dodged, Akali kept her eyes on one of his boots to guess the Joker's actions.
The clown, who had seen through his spell, was defeated by Akali's stormy attack.
"It's over!" Li Qing's voice appeared behind the clown, loosened his fist, rotated his wrist for half a week, and then suddenly slammed it!
The Joker's unbalanced body crashed straight into the attacking Akali, and a pair of cross-scythes symbolizing strength and magic sank into his body.
The resistance of the blade into the flesh disappeared in an instant, and the opponent in front of him turned into a choking cloud of yellow smoke, and despite the ninja mask and raising his hand to cover his mouth and nose, Akali couldn't help but cough.
The clown's figure appeared in the other corner of the room, the scars from Akali's scythe visible on the wide costume. Although he escaped Akali's blow, he was still in the corner.
"Uhhaha, I didn't expect Ionia to have such a master, it's really a surprise!"
Akali doesn't care what he says, and runs with the shadows!
The clown's hand suddenly throws out a magic box wrapped in confetti.
"Be careful!" Reginard reminded loudly. It seemed that the guy was going to do it again, but fortunately he had already guessed that the clown puppet that jumped out of the scare box had the same illusion magic circle on it.
The lid popped open.
Akali hurriedly paused her ninja and the smoke bombs spread out from under her feet, holding her breath and listening.
This time, however, nothing popped out of the box.
"We'll see you again. I'm Sacco the Demon Clown. It's me! Clever legendary mage, it looks like you've been tricked anyway, oh haha! ”
The clown jumped into the box and disappeared with it.
This weird escape magic.
Reginard looked at the strange disappearing figure in the room, it was really ...... Laughed at again. The white-robed mage thought helplessly, there were always strange guys who made trouble for him, and then laughed and said, "I teased the legendary mage Reginad!" ”
It's really embarrassing every time.
"Damn!" Akali waved the scythe in her hand at the void air in front of her.
Outside the window, the sky is getting brighter.
……
The sky was overcast, and the layers of black clouds looked like the elite black-armored iron horsemen of Noxus, and it is said that when they attacked, it was like black clouds crushing the city, and the iron curtain was falling.
News of Reginald's assassination quickly spread through the streets.
The soldiers were talking, wondering if he would stand in the midst of them today, the day of the end of the seven-day covenant between the General Noxus and the white-robed mage, and the first day of this arduous siege
And Zelos and the cavalry were already in the square.
Irelia pulled the bridle of her brother's warhorse, and her deep sadness overflowed, but she didn't know what she should say at this time. She was afraid that she would be too depressed to speak, which did not bode well in Ionian culture, but she was also afraid that what she had not said at this time might never have the opportunity to say it again.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine. Zelos smiled comfortingly, his palm touching his sister's cheek. Be obedient, don't run around, be sure to protect yourself. ”
"There's me." Akali, who was on the back of a fast horse next to her, said, "I will definitely escort him safely to the ship, so you can rest assured." By the way, the way you look now is no different from a little girl who doesn't know who's home. She smiled with contempt on her face.
It's a kind of comfort in disguise.
At this moment, Reginad suddenly appeared in the square, and he walked down the steps of the temple, and in the morning light cast between the clouds, he looked like a white-clothed sage.
The vigor of the action did not look at all like it was rumored to be seriously injured.
"It's time. May the Holy King bless! Reginad loudly announced, "We will hold out until the last moment and wait for reinforcements to arrive!" Let's go. ”
The knights pulled the reins of their horses, urged their horses to gallop wildly, and galloped away from the avenue where the Holy King had built the city in the north.
Irelia finally held back her tears.
The white-robed mage helped her shoulder, but said nothing.
……
The weather had been rather unquiet and gloomy since the morning, and Reginard climbed the walls, his white robes hunting in the raging winds.
The cavalry that had left the city to call for help had already galloped towards the distant woods, and only a vague black shadow could be seen on the city walls. Afraid that they would face the ambush of Noxus, he knew that it was a dead end, and thinking of this, Reginard couldn't help but close his eyes slightly.
"Your choice is right, we have no choice. That's the only way to live. Shen's voice rang in his ears.
Reginard turned his head and smiled back to see the samurai-dressed ninja staring at him with his arms crossed.
"You have something like no other, magician." Shen said slowly. "You can control your emotions as much as you want, which is rare among mortals."
"Maybe." Reginard said.
He saw a noisy ball of electricity suddenly flash in the distance.
"Kennan is back." Shen said.
The electric ball struck and landed on the city wall, revealing a diminutive ninja from the dazzling lightning. Balanced ninja Kenan, as a naturally short yodel, and master the thunder and lightning ninjutsu, he moves quickly, so he has been engaged in reconnaissance work since preparing for the war.
"Report, the army of Noxus is gathering a few miles away, or it won't be long before it arrives in the city!"
As soon as these words came out, a panic suddenly dispersed among the soldiers on the city wall.
Reginard strode forward and said in a loud voice.
"Listen! Ladies and gentlemen, there is only one way to survive a war, and that is to have the courage to embrace death. In the face of the cruel and belligerent Noxians, if you take a step back, you will retreat to the afterlife, and if you want to live, you must go toe-to-toe with them! Violence against violence, barbarism against barbarism! ”
"I know you've been educated by Ionia since you were a child, but forget about the worthless, the person who said it has never faced life or death! There are thousands of Noxians, ten times as many as us, and I now hear that number is even more. ”
"But it doesn't matter, the walls are so long and so wide, they can't all attack at the same time. But we're not. We'll take out a lot of people when they charge, and we'll take out more when they climb the walls. ”
"The Noxian army is strong, proud, and invincible. General Du Kecao is undefeated and invincible. But we are going to be such a nail that we will laugh at them every day on the walls, drain their strength with bows and arrows and the weapons in your hands, and wear down their patience! They will become defeated, they will begin to doubt their invincible military spirit, and their courage will crumble! ”
"In this war, maybe you will lose friends, comrades-in-arms, brothers, children. You may not even be able to sleep, and every night you can't help but worry that you will be beheaded by the Noxians who attack at night. I won't talk about glory, freedom, patriotism, those are the words of a politician, they are worthless to a fighter. The only thing I want you to think about is how to survive. ”
Then he paused, and looked around at the crowd, allowing himself time for what he had just said to seep into the hearts of the soldiers on the city walls.
On the horizon at the end of the vast plain outside the south of the city, a burst of smoke and dust suddenly rose, covering the sky and the sun, like a rushing black tide.
Iron Rider of Noxus......
……
"Finally, is it the beginning?" In the chamber, Svein stared gloomily at the raven bird on his shoulder.
The crow didn't say anything, his head didn't move, and the creature that should have been lively was as quiet as a dead thing.
But the lame man, who was on crutches to assist his movements, seemed to already know, he raised his head, closed his eyes, and slowly muttered, "The siege has begun. With 200,000 troops and a siege legend - this will be the battle that will determine the fate of Valoran. But the invincible military spirit does not seem to know who is the besieged one. ”
"But, Lord Svein, if the general loses this battle...... I'm afraid the future of my Great Noxus ......," the minister cautioned, knowing that he was too bold this time, and still very worried that he would anger the man in front of him.
Svein laughed dryly.
"Noxus will eventually rule Valoran. There is no doubt about that. But whether the big Noxus that rules the world is my Svein's Noxus, or his Du Kekao's Noxus, is the question that I am most concerned about. ”
