Chapter 142: Ominous Blade
The Noxian army gathered into a rolling black tide, which poured into the streets of the city, and they surrounded the temple in the center of the city from all sides.
It was well connected and easy for people who lived anywhere in the city to come and worship, but now it seems to be the stupidest urban design. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Noxians believed that their opponent was no longer safe, and the Ionians, who had lost the protection of the walls, were now merely cowering in the temple, praying in vain for a so-called miracle.
The Ionian defenders were almost side by side, constantly compressing the formation. In order to avoid being attacked on their backs, they have sealed several street entrances with flames. They piled up timber that had been temporarily demolished from the surrounding abandoned houses, poured asphalt, and set it on fire.
The flames emitted a wave of heat, the thick black smoke made it impossible for the Noxians to get close, and several cold arrows through the smoke and dust directly took the lives of several unlucky people, and the leading officer burst into foul language, and was forced to order a detour to march.
Although it is only a delaying measure, it is the greatest relief for Ionia today. The four entrances and exits left behind are the legions led by Irelia, Dust, Udir, and Goku. Although Li Qing was seriously injured, he had to fight anyway, so Karma had to put him in the team under Udil, where he was looked after by Soraka.
Varus and his archers were partly in the rear square, mainly on the rooftop of the second floor of the House of Elders, to put pressure on the advancing Noxian legions.
The skyrocketing beam rising from the center of the temple enveloped the square with rippling divine power. The ancient guardian power buried in the center of the temple showed great power, and it was not easy to break the illusory layer of light armor on their bodies, and the wear and tear from the battle on those armor pieces would slowly heal automatically.
Irelia made a name for herself in this battle, and her flying sword skills terrified Noxus. The four blades were at will, sometimes flying in the sky, sometimes in her hands to form a great sword to slash at approaching enemies, sometimes to form a strong shield to resist the stray arrows in the distance.
"That was Irelia, who, like the blind man and the beast warrior, was called the Grim Reaper by the soldiers. It is said that her flying sword skills are family traditions, and she is as good as the boundless sword skills of the infinite and the fierce and swift wind sword skills, and she can be called the best in the Ionian martial arts. Because of her existence, the current military spirit is already very unstable. What they thought was a sure victory is now the other way around, a sure death...... Miss, you see? "Not far from the front line of the battlefield, a junior officer reported to those beside him in great detail, cautiously probing, sweat already oozing from his forehead in his helmet, despite his efforts to organize objective words.
And the person next to him, whom he called "Miss", was a woman with long fiery red hair, and her tight leather armor was decorated with metal trinkets, and the fabric set off her fiery figure.
"Really?" The red-haired woman raised her eyebrows, seemingly indifferent, but as an officer who understood the temperament of the eldest lady, she naturally knew her plans in her heart.
Irelia wielded the Supreme Blade, tearing through the Noxians' line like a scythe harvesting a wheat field, four sharp blades as if they had eyes, and they did not hesitate to pierce at the slightest flaw, bringing cold death to them,
No one could threaten her, and the Guardian of the Blade, the Noxian's sword, couldn't even reach the hem of her garment before it was flicked off by the onrushing blade.
The Noxians surrounded the beleaguered beasts, but they found that what awaited them was not victory, but cold blades. They didn't expect to encounter such strong resistance here, and it was clear that these guys were already out of danger.
Irelia watched as the battle unexpectedly began to clear, and the Ionian warriors formed a line around her so that she could use the Supreme Blade more to strike her opponents without worrying about self-preservation. They were not now retreating in front of the black tide of Noxus, but by the spiky barricades, tearing the black iron front like a wedge, driving straight in.
It is said that the god of war is the most fickle, because no one knows where the balance of victory will fall in the next second.
She heard a crisp blade sound behind her ears, a rather flamboyant sound, like keys hanging from the same hoop striking each other.
Nerves suddenly tensed.
The Noxian line in front of them seemed to have stopped for something, and the warriors looked fixedly behind her, and stepped back, and even the crossbowmen who were firing their arrows stopped moving.
Seems to see something terrible.
The four blades slashed through the air and formed a shield behind them, striking a blade with a crisp sound. Irelia turned, and without warning, behind her, between the lines of Ionian guards, she saw a woman with long fiery red hair.
The beautiful face, but a scar on the left eye adds a bit of anger to this face, holding a scimitar in each hand, and a handle peeking out from the shoulder, but I don't know what kind of weapon it is.
The Supreme Blade was dismantled in the shape of a shield, and the four sharp blades were suspended beside him, glowing with a cold light, aimed in the direction of this uninvited guest.
"My name is Katarina. The eldest daughter of General Du Kekao. The fiery red-haired woman spoke, her voice cold, without a woman's softness. Anything else you'd like to ask? ”
Ominous Blade Caterina ...... Even Demacia, with its powerful army, fearfully calls it the Blade Queen's master of the sword.
"Why are you telling me this?" But Irelia still maintained her composure, because the red-haired woman's name had already made her warriors uneasy.
She couldn't.
"I have never been stingy with the dead."
The Supreme Blade suddenly began to act on its own, blocking in front of her. Irelia suddenly discovered that beyond the waist of the woman who claimed to be Caterina, several daggers with outward blades appeared out of thin air, spinning into a whirlwind of swords, and several Ionian warriors who surrounded her were slashed to death without even knowing what was happening.
The shield of the Supreme Blade blocked the opponent's attack for her, and bursts of dark sparks burst out at the place of the confrontation,
She didn't use her hands, as if she was using her mind to control the blades, and the daggers appeared out of nowhere, like a horse standing outside the wall, outside her body.
Although her tight leather armor had a lot of dagger-like decorations, it seemed that those were just obscure accessories, and the real blade seemed to be hidden somewhere else.
"That's it!"
In Irelia's surprised gaze, Katerina's body suddenly began to spin, as if dancing wildly, and the energy also formed a hurricane of blades around her, and the faint suction force made people unstable under their feet, and everyone looked at the black leather armor, red-haired flying figure in horror, as if there was a faint feeling that something terrible was about to appear.
"Quick...... Run! Irelia ordered the people around her in a trembling voice, but ...... It's too late.
-- From the eye of the wind, a stream of sword light flew out with a terrible centrifugal force, and it was overwhelming in an instant.
"Death Lotus Blossom!"
