The bitter wind and snow blew over the Noxian Legion, causing a biting cold snap.

After the army array, Dreyer took over the rights given by Modrian, and his momentum rose, and orders were issued one after another.

"Tell Keree, scatter the scout cavalry, and scout everything along the way."

"Command Warsman and Gregory to put the left and right sides in order and enter a state of war."

"Summons Urgat, the alchemy technology research team is on standby at all times."

"Herald Shadow Stream and War Stonemason, both of which help each other to infiltrate Mori Shige Province."

At the sound of each order, a Noxian herald rushed out of the array, and the sound of horses' hooves thundered through the snow.

Finally, Darius looked sideways at Quinn and said in a solemn tone, "Quinn, I need the Demacia Dragonbird Knight to control the sky area and prohibit any unknown targets from approaching the array. ”

"Leave it to me, Demacia won't lose to anyone." Quinn nodded slightly, and gently raised the silver-gray crossbow in motion.

Phew!

The shrill chirping of the eagle echoed, and the soaring Warlo sensed Quinn's unleashed thoughts, swooped into the snow, claws grabbed Quinn's shoulders, and soared into the air.

Behind them, flocks of Demacian dragonbirds tore through the wind and snow and floated in the air, these were the dragonbird knights who had previously remained behind the legion.

In addition to the Demacian Dragonbird Knights summoned by the system, the [Dragonbird Nest] above the cliff of the Lakstak Fortress also gave birth to many Dragonbird Knights, and after careful calculation, Valoran now has 72 Dragonbird Knights.

This expedition was accompanied by 60 dragon knights.

With the transmission of Darius's order, the advancing Noxian Legion seemed to be revived, the strong red breath dispelled the cold wind, and all the soldiers entered a state of combat readiness.

A burst of noise broke the silence, and the invisible frenzy overflowed the air.

Click! Click! Click!

The Crimson Warhorses trampled the snow, splashing the .asxs. snowflakes, and a group of Noxian scouts disappeared into the snow under Kree's arrangement, and the eyes behind the armor were full of longing for war.

Then Kree rode Sgar, led a team of 100 men, and left the array straight and marched due south.

Destination: Morishige Province.

At the same time, it is also the most dangerous direction.

......

......

Mori Shige Province, Nuu Fortress.

The cold night was mixed with scattered snowflakes, pouring down the battlefield like flowing water, and a little bit of light reflected the sleeping fortress.

As the last line of defense in front of the royal capital Limontamlu, the fortress of Nuu during this time was subjected to endless attacks by the lizardmen.

The towering and sturdy walls were covered with a dry, viscous scarlet liquid, and the smell of rust filled the sky over the fortress, and the walls about twenty feet high were already full of cracks, or shallow pits from siege weapons, or elemental traces left by spells, or cracks in cobwebs from the impact of savage beasts.

The Marquis Gardner stood behind the battlements, his deep eyes looking out at the blood-red battlefield, and even the scattered snowflakes could not hide the tragic scene of the fortress plain.

Broken weapons, half-cut flags, burning flames, rising black mist, and countless cold corpses make for a horrific battlefield scene.

In the moonlight, the moldy spots that looked like carved into the battlefields of the plains gave off an eerie rancid smell, and most of the traces were left by the Kingdom of Stoke.

"I thought you weren't coming." The Duke of Dakama, the Minister of State of Stoke, stared silently at the night battlefield, the look of exhaustion in his eyes.

"That disappointed you." The Marquis Gardner turned to look at the Duke of Dacama beside him, he hadn't seen him for a long time, this old man seemed to be getting older, his once tall figure was a little rickety, and his face was densely wrinkled after recovering from serious injuries.

"I have never forgotten the glory and responsibility of nobility."

"The people give everything for their territory, and I will bring them safety, and now that the time has come to fulfill my responsibilities, how can I retreat."

"Really? I thought you had long since degenerated into the hypocritical aristocracy of the royal capital, forgetting the responsibilities that come with power. Duke Dacama smiled, the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking smile.

The fall of the entire province of Morishige was not only due to the strength of the Lizardmen Legion, but also the factors of some nobles vying for power.

Ignoring the sarcasm in Duke Dakama's tone, Marquis Gardner pondered for a while and said in a condensed voice: "I have brought the Flame Knights of the Dale family, as well as some of the elite legions of the Royal Capital Guard. ”

"For the sake of the lives of these soldiers, I must know the specific reason why the Violet Guards Regiment suffered heavy losses."

"Do you think the current Stoke Kingdom still has a chance to win?" The Duke of Dacama walked to the battlement, his tall figure looking particularly weak in the moonlight.

"The kingdom of Besilik, the temple of the lizardmen, the legion of the lizardmen, I can't think of any chance of victory."

Squinting slightly, he recalled the unexpected resistance he had received in the central part of Morishige Province.

It was also in that sudden encounter that the Violet Guards, the ace legion of the Kingdom of Stoll, was severely defeated, and there was not one out of ten, and the only remaining remnants of the defeated army would retreat to the fortress of Nuu.

"A chance of victory?" The Marquis Gardiner walked over and stood side by side with the Duke of Dakama. "Why is there no more?" Turning his head to look at the pale and frail face with a faint hint of fear.

"If nothing else, Valoran's legions have entered the province of Blackwood, and may have defeated the Cockel tribe stationed there."

"Huh?" Duke Dacama Huo Ran turned around, a glimmer of hope in his tired eyes. "Are you sure about the news?" As if remembering something, he looked at the Marquis Gardiner unexpectedly and whispered.

"Wait..... Did the Daller family make a choice? ”

Hearing the inquiry, Marquis Gardner shook his head lightly and said indifferently: "The world has changed, and we must change with it." ”

"I think you've heard about the blood ** that happened in Limontanlu, it's just a legendary spell, and the panic caused by it hasn't gone away yet."

The Kingdom of Stoke, which has lost the legendary suppression, is much weaker than expected, and the calming effect brought by the legendary crown is much more important than expected.

It's not that a human kingdom can't attract the arrival of the legendary crown, after all, using the resources of a kingdom to supply one's own cultivation is something that many new legends dream of.

However, the current Stoke Kingdom is caught in the whirlpool of war with the Besilik Kingdom, which has caused many legendary crowns to be discouraged.

Cultivation resources can be slowly found in the long life of the legend, but there is only one life.

In particular, the Lizardman Temple behind the Besilik Kingdom has slaughtered many legends that offended the temple in the Otherworldly Plane, and it is precisely because of this bloody record that the Stoke Kingdom is isolated at this moment, and there are even many forces that take the opportunity to eat the kingdom that is about to collapse.

"The world is impermanent, we must learn to be at peace with what happens."

When Duke Dacama heard this, he was slightly silent, and after taking a light breath, his expression relaxed a lot: "You are right, it's just that some of us old people are unwilling to serve the kingdom that we have been serving all our lives will be annihilated in the long river of history. ”

Lowering his head, the Duke of Dacama gently straightened his heavy armor, and the viscous blood stained the surface of the armor, as if he was telling something.

"The Violet Guards encountered the Stigmata Veterans of the Lizardmen Temple in the process of supporting."

"Gardner, you should know what Stigmata Veterans mean, these damn lizardmen brutes really want to annex the Stoke Kingdom."

"Hehe, in the face of those monsters, I deeply feel the feeling of powerlessness and despair, no matter how hard we try, we can't break through the defense of the Stigmata veterans, and even find an opportunity to completely defeat the charge of the Violet Guards."

"It was a calamity, a calamity belonging to the Violet Guards, and we left behind many soldiers and retreated to the fortress of Nuu in panic."

Unexpected news, but after listening to Duke Dacama's narration, the Marquis Gardner was silent, and after about four or five seconds, he said with difficulty: "Are you sure it's a Stigmata veteran?" ”

"Of course, I feel the faint legendary aura surging in the bodies of those lizardmen and beasts." Duke Dacama said with a wry smile. "Fortunately, they were in a hurry to collect supplies and food for the winter, and they didn't chase us along the way."

The bleak moonlight followed the snowflakes and fell on the face of the Marquis Gardner, and in the field of vision, the endless camp of lizardmen was like a monstrous dark beast, faintly opening its bloody mouth towards the Nuu Fortress.

"Are these lizardfolk really crazy? Mobilize the veterans of stigmata and who will guard their kings? ”

Seeing the vague state of the Marquis Gardner, Dacama hesitated and asked, "Since the Valoran Territory has been dispatched, can you know the specific information about the Legion to which the Valoran Territory belongs?" ”

"Sorry, I don't know, but I can try to get in touch." Marquis Gardner replied in a deep voice, an inexplicable uneasiness appeared in his heart, he was suddenly a little unsure whether Valoran Territory could really repel the lizardman invasion?

"However, before that, we must hold on to the fortress of Nuu, and if it is lost, the army that Valoran leads the raid will face all the lizardmen warriors in the province of Morishige."

Seeing the old man's slightly nervous mentality, Duke Dacama smiled evilly: "Don't worry, the Arnold family and the Violet Guards will hold out to the end." ”

"Glory and duty, deep soul."
