Both Rhodes and Jax did their job well - while the Noxian Empire's First Mage Regiment and the Squadron of Trefali in the Immortal Fortress were both elite Noxus battle groups, the two wisely chose to fight in a delaying manner.

Resistance warfare is not the same as annihilation warfare.

In the case of blocking as the first goal, neither Rhodes nor Jax pursued killing, as long as the effect was delayed, the Noxian Empire's First Mage Regiment and the Squadron stationed in the Immortal Fortress Trefary were reduced by less than 5%, but it was difficult to cross the resistance and provide any form of support to the Crimson Castle.

In terms of strategic purposes, Rod and Jax successfully completed the task, and they were at ease.

Compared to the easy Rod and Jax, the blocker in the third direction is Alexander at this time.

In this direction, Trist and Graves will need to face the garrison of the Immortal Fortress of Noxus, the Imperial Guard of Noxus, nicknamed the "Immortal Army".

This legion is the defender of the Immortal Fortress, with nearly a third of its forces currently under the command of Vladimir, and the mission of Trist and Graves is to stop the Immortal Army from coming to the aid of Vega before the assassination is completed.

Compared with the First Mage Regiment of the Noxus Empire in charge of Rhodes and the Truffary Squadron in the Immortal Fortress in charge of Jax, although this Immortal Army has a loud name, it does not have enough strong people to sit in it, and it is not a field army in the conventional sense, and its combat effectiveness belongs to the weakest of the supporters.

But don't forget, Trist and Graves, these two are also the two weakest of the blockers......

Trist can only be regarded as seeing the threshold of the transcendent, while Graves is a complete mortal, and the difficulty of these two guys to stop an army is the most difficult of the three directions.

In order to help Trist stop it, Rhodes took out his treasure, the Hex Mine.

These mines are the latest product of Giggs, and the poor yodelers, in gratitude to Rod for finally taking Jinx, almost give away all his stock when Rod hints that "there are any new products to test", hoping that Rod will not return to Fuguang Island with Jinx.

In the face of Giggs's kindness, Rhodes happily accepted, and now turned his head and gave it all to Trist - when looking at the mountains of Hex sticky bombs, Hex single mines, Hex directional mines, Hex trick mines, and Hex composite explosive packs in front of him, Trist couldn't say a word.

The conscience of heaven and earth knew that Rhodes had so many explosives on his body, how could he never be so close to him!

And for some time before the project began, Triist had been reading Giggs's manuals, which were "a little laborious" and "a little laborious" in comparison to Jinx's "only oneself-read" manuals.

At least Trist alone managed to set up a blockade area quickly and successfully according to the instructions.

Wait, why is Trist alone, Graves?

Oh, and Mr. Graves is in a slightly drunken state at the moment, and his greatest contribution to the whole minelaying operation is to pat his old fellow on the shoulder at the beginning and end, and say, "Take it easy, we have the most people on this side, and there are two......"

Facing Graves with a drunken hiccups, Trist didn't want to say a word - if it weren't for the fact that this guy wasn't very good at settling accounts, his brain was relatively straightforward, and he didn't care about the conditions for implementing the plan, he wouldn't have found such a partner if he was killed, and God knows how much pressure Trist would have been on all day long with such a bold guy as a companion!

(PS. Trist has always claimed that he has been favored by Lady Luck and can always get some extra gains, but in fact, only he knows that these "extra gains" are actually Graves's share, and Trist happily gave a part of the share that should be given to Graves to himself, and Graves can't find out anyway, and he only spends money on alcohol, and if he gives too much, he will only be gambled - oh, by the way, in fact, most of the guys who gamble with Graves are related to Triste, you know.) ）

……………………

Compared with the swift action of the Noxian Empire's First Mage Regiment and the Squadron of Trefari in the Immortal Fortress, the Immortal Army's movement was slower, and this slowness also gave Trist enough time to complete the arrangement of the blockade, and when the Immortal Army finally began to support the rapid march, Trist had already installed the mine array according to the instructions.

"Let me see ......"

In order to speed up the march, the Immortals marched forward with torches at night - so Trist held the detonator in one hand and the Hex telescope in the other, carefully observing the opponent's formation.

Seeing that a long line of torches had entered a minefield, Trist pressed the detonator hard.

"Poof—"

The imaginary earth-shattering explosion did not appear, but the detonator pinched by Trist in his hand let out a penetrating pop.

What's going on?

Seeing that the Immortal Army had already probed in his direction, Trist was stupid - the manual said that it would be good to press the detonator, which was completely a "foolish" operation, but now that he pressed the detonator, why did he have such a sound?

Then, just as Trist was stunned, the explosion officially began.

Because of the urgency of time, Trist arranged directional blasting devices - this kind of thing only needs to be placed in the grass and trees on both sides of the road, and the direction is adjusted, and once detonated, it will cause serious damage to people on the road.

Despite an unplanned pop, the Hex-directed blasters were effective, and in the midst of the earth-shattering explosion, the entire ranks of the Immortals were cut off in the middle.

The dust and crystal debris of the explosion were wrapped in the shock wave, causing serious secondary damage to these immortal troops who had not yet reacted, and under the conditions of high temperature and high pressure, the Hex crystal quickly denatured, releasing terrifying energy, causing a small range of crystallization.

As a result, the central area of the explosion was almost a dead domain - although the soldiers of the Immortal Army were wearing heavy armor, the heavy armor could not resist this crystallized energy erosion, and the ground was full of stumps and severed arms, and these stumps and severed arms would not bleed.

Blood is the first to be crystallized during the crystallization process.

The major general who led the team now regretted the decision to raise the torch very much - in the not very bright light of the fire, the soldiers clearly saw the tragic image of their comrades, and the morale of the whole army was visibly lowered by the naked eye!

And Trist, who saw this scene through the Hex telescope, finally breathed a sigh of relief - the first step of blocking had been successfully completed, and the next step was ...... It depends on the other party's choice!
