The Noxian army is arguably the most disciplined in the world, and although they have all kinds of bad habits and behaviors in normal times, they will turn into emotionless killing machines when they arrive on the battlefield. This is due both to Noxus' strict military administration and the will honed in the long war, and to a considerable part of Noxus' terrifying army magistrates.

So although the Noxian soldiers were exhausted after a long march, they still carried out Riven's order as soon as possible - forming a defensive formation in place.

However, Ionia's attack had obviously been planned for a long time, and unlike the sporadic resistance that Riven had encountered before, the Ionian warriors who had emerged from the sand had launched a more ferocious attack after seeing the reaction of the Noxian army.

Rui Wen also seemed to understand the other party's intention to harass on a small scale during this time. They were supposed to have dispersed their limited men, established the direction of the march of their main forces by mass harassment, set up a massive ambush here by the speed of their march, and attacked in the most exhausted period.

But these were not reasons for them to retreat, and in addition to opening the way for Imistan's warbands, their forward troops also had an important task, that is, the secret supplies that were transported in the rear of the army.

Regarding this batch of supplies, Imistan only said that it was the supreme order of the Immortal Fortress, and he himself did not know what was in it, but Riven always felt that Imistan was lying to himself. More than one soldier had already reported to himself that he had seen Imistan soldiers approaching the crates in the middle of the night, and when they went up for questioning, they simply reasoned that it was for security reasons to strengthen the guards.

Although she has always had some doubts about this matter, Rui Wen has been in the army for a long time, and knows that there are some things that she shouldn't have to worry about in the first place, as a soldier, she just needs to complete her tasks well and not live up to the expectations of the empire, she is not a politician like Svein.

In addition, Rui Wen didn't have any good feelings about the other two guys in the army during the expedition, Warwick and Sinjid.

These two men are indeed famous in the world, except that they are famous for their infamous chemical experiments. The two men joined the Noxus Expeditionary Force for a large amount of money for their hired money, and Riven could probably imagine how they would treat the Resistance. For this kind of behavior, Rui Wen despised it very much, although the positions were different, but these members of the Resistance were also Ionian fighters, and warriors should have a way to die as warriors.

At this time, the peripheral troops of the two sides had entered a state of hand-to-hand combat, and the sound of weapons colliding and metal cutting flesh was endless. The outermost Noxian soldier set up a huge shield and used his short knife to attack the ambush force, while the inner soldier picked up a spear and stabbed at the opponent through the inner layer of the shield. As soon as a person in front of him fell, the warriors behind him immediately made up for it.

And this ambush force, although it did not have such professional training and cooperation, but their high fighting mood and fearless spirit allowed them to firmly suppress this Noxus vanguard force in place. Countless warriors rushed forward one after another towards the black steel machine on the Gobi, and after just a few minutes, there was already a circle of corpses piled up on the ground around it.

But with the frantic attack of the resistance, the well-functioning Noxian army slowly began to show some flaws. An Ionian warrior dressed in improvised cloth armor forcibly grabbed the spear stabbed at the opposite side and allowed it to penetrate his body. Before the Noxian soldiers behind the shield could draw their spears back, more resistance troops rushed over, and even the shield array outside was rushed out of a small gap.

However, the experienced Noxus soldiers reacted very quickly, and before Riven could give the order, a group of soldiers rushed towards the small gap from the inside, and the resistance army that had just rushed inside was once again deadlocked with the other party.

At this time, on the other side of the gap in the Noxian military formation, a large number of ambushes appeared from the ground again, and at the same time, an iron rod flew towards the soldiers' shields.

The iron rod smashed into the shields of the Noxian soldiers on the periphery with an unstoppable force, and the soldiers holding the shields only felt a huge force coming from their arms, and a dozen soldiers flew upside down.

Before anyone behind could catch up, a figure caught the rebounding iron rod in mid-air, and then rushed into the battle formation of Noxus.

With a large number of soldiers knocked down by iron rods at the gap, the entire formation could no longer be maintained, and the two sides entered the stage of melee, completely entangled together.

Rui Wen also saw clearly at this time the guy who had just broken through his own military formation with the strength of one person, he was actually a monkey, but he was wearing golden armor and holding a jet-black iron rod in his hand, she could see at a glance that this weapon was not from the hands of ordinary people, and it seemed to have similarities with her giant sword.

However, she didn't have time to take care of the other party for a short time, and as the formation of both sides was destroyed, several Ionian warriors surrounded her.

Riven pulled her weapon from behind and slashed the upper half of one of the soldiers with a very fast slash, spurting bright red blood on Riven's face, but it only made her excited. For a Noxian soldier, the blood of the enemy is the best glory.

A few kilometers away in the dunes, Imistan was watching the battle ahead, and the herald had already conveyed to him the news of the attack on the Vanguard Legion, but he had his troops halted their advance.

"Sinjid, is there really no way to conduct an experiment now?"

"Yes, the potion is still being improved, and there is no way to get the final data if we conduct experiments now." Sinjid looked at the fierce fighting on the battlefield ahead and the cargo boxes not far away, and there was an irrepressible excitement in his eyes, "You know, I want to carry out this experiment on an unprecedented scale more than you do, but now is not the time. ”

Imistan said with some regret:

"Then this is the only way to do it this time, for the sake of better experimental results, it is also necessary to ensure the combat effectiveness of their legions, but I don't know if the Ionians will spend so much energy against them next time." He finally made up his mind and beckoned a soldier from a distance, "Pass my order, draw five infantry brigades and one cavalry squadron to support the vanguard corps, and clear out this group of resistance troops in half an hour." ”
