Chapter 37: The Front
Ever since the Black Horse Race descended from the sky to Noxus and Freljord, the various forces involved in the battle for the Life Essence have not been talking about it.
Even the upper-class people who know some inside information are silent, and only say from the occasional words that the essence of life should not be taken away by a big person, but is this kind of gossip credible?
Not credible. But it's not that there is nothing real in it, after all, there is no wind and no waves, and these things involving the country are just gone, so that anyone looks at it is a little wrong.
However, compared to this incident, there was soon a bigger earth-shattering event that swept the entire Valoran continent.
Noxus marched with Demacia and Ionia in attack.
Undeclared war.
In the eyes of all, Noxus is nothing more than a barbarian land that worships force, the territory is far smaller than the huge Demacia, who gave them the courage to declare war on Ionia while attacking Demacia, this mysterious country far more ancient than the two sides of Demacia.
Although it was trampled by Noxus in the last war, everyone can see how much power this country hides in the last eruption.
The visionary led by Irelia, the Will of the Blade, has broken the old Ionian tradition, and the legendary Swordmaster, the mysterious Apocalypse, everyone with mystical powers has gathered to prepare for the invasion that will come at any time.
However, the invasion of Noxus, which was regarded as suicidal by the world, was not as unbearable as the world thought, on the contrary, people vied with enthusiasm and regarded Demacia, who was regarded as the head of the major powers, was defeated under the iron heel of Noxus. The decline was out of control, and Noxus took over a large area of Demacia's territory.
Until this seemingly asleep empire suddenly woke up, dispatched Demacia's elite troops, and finally stopped the unstoppable conquest of Noxus in Sword and Shield City.
Sword and Shield City.
On top of the city wall, a general named Ho Meng stood at the head of the city.
Yesterday's bloody battle finally repelled the last wave of Noxus' attack, and the general's face was flat, but his heart was indeed turbulent.
As he thought, in yesterday's bloody battle, how many soldiers could be fought in the small Sword and Shield City, most of them were wounded, although most of these soldiers regarded death as home, not how noble their hearts were, but behind them was their home, and their wives and daughters were behind them, and they had no way to retreat.
The general slammed the city wall under him with a hard fist, and secretly cursed in his heart why the promised reinforcements have not yet come, and if he does the offensive like yesterday, he will not be able to stop it.
The general stood at the head of the city, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a black "dark cloud" appeared on the horizon in the distance. ”
"It's coming!" The general recited a sentence silently, then waved his hand, unfurled the military flag, and shouted loudly:
"Soldiers, today I will fight with you until the last moment, I have no regrets in this life, besides, our army and men are all bloody men, how can there be a reason to surrender without a fight."
Then the man glanced at the army outside the city that was about to enter the city.
"Pouring out of the nest." The man smiled wryly and shook his head.
Immediately, his eyes instantly became sharp and resolute, with a little sadness, and he shouted, "All soldiers, follow me to death!" ”
……
In the palatial Demacia Council Chamber, a man full of embarrassment shouted the front-line battle report and rushed into the council room, and then a man pinched the information that this scout desperately brought back from the front line, his eyes were gloomy, his expression was hideous, and he just looked out the window viciously and did not speak.
And there were only a few words on that piece of information: "Sword and Shield City is broken."
Freljord.
A flash of cyan on the ice field flashed away, and he rushed to the teleportation array to Ionia with extremely fast movements.
If Yang Fan was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this person, because he was the Qingyi Sword Saint, Yi.
When Yi knew that Noxus was about to send troops to Ionia, he arranged for Sana and Xin'er to stay in Ash's Alvarosa, not only to prevent the two of them from distracting him on the battlefield later, but also to allow Xin'er to recuperate in a safe place.
And he kept rushing to Ionia, this green-shirted swordsman had a huge hatred in his heart, and his sword qi overflowed uncontrollably, and along the way, the icebergs of the ice field were densely packed with ravines cut by the sword qi, all of which showed how much hatred this sword saint had buried in his heart who had always been kind to the world.
This sword saint suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed, obviously he had discovered what kind of terrible change had happened to his heart just now, and the sword intent that escaped was slowly suppressed by him.
The sword in his hand just now was trembling violently, as if to remind himself that he had gone astray. Immediately, the sword master smiled bitterly: "Has my sword been out of the path of infinity?"
The green-shirted swordsman sorted out his thoughts and continued to bury his head in the road, he just thought: "My sword is not the way of Wuji, what reason is it to avenge the master?"
He felt as if he was obsessed with revenge on Noxus, and the true path of infinity was getting farther and farther away from him. He shook his head, choosing not to think about it.
Anyway, if you can't cut your body, then you can cut your soul and turn yourself into an unbreakable sword.
Then Yi inadvertently thought of Yang Fan on the way, this stupid boy who looked very stupid, and I don't know if he had a foothold in this river and lake, Yi thought of the scene when this kid said goodbye to himself, and couldn't help but smile. Then with the expectation of Yang Fan, a boy who has just entered the rivers and lakes, he continued to bury his head in the road.
At this time, Ionia's factions advocating peace and advocating no surrender were silent, and there seemed to be a dark cloud in everyone's hearts.
Demacia is now in a tight war, and the fierce iron cavalry of Benochsus is retreating one after another, so the last time Galen led the needless army to rush here is almost non-existent, and this time the difficulties are not unexpected, and it is all up to Ionia himself to bear it.
And Yang Fan was coaxing the child in a tavern in the walled city at this time, Xiao Duxue was bullied before, and she just wiped her tears silently, and then wronged alone.
Now with Yang Fan, the little girl seemed to suddenly think of venting her grievances for so many years of living alone, and thinking of her parents, she couldn't help crying tears straight down, and hugged Yang Fan's arm aggrievedly and sobbed vigorously.
Yang Fan was not a little impatient, slowly enlightened Xiao Duxue, and pulled Xiaobai, a cute thing, to attract Xiao Duxue's attention, Yang Fan thought to himself: "What the hell is a child."
But in fact, Yang Fan is just a young man in his early twenties.
