Chapter 44: Morale is high
The status of the Apocalypse is the highest here, so I met Karma first, but she didn't know me, so Irelia hastened to introduce:
"Lord Apocalypse, he is a disciple of the legendary Wind Guardian Master Elder Suma, his name is Yasuo, he killed a lot of enemies last time, and after returning from ten years of cultivation this time, he must have greatly increased his strength, and he is our good helper!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on me, and I couldn't persuade them to give up resistance anyway, not because I didn't dare, but because I didn't let down everyone's confidence and enthusiasm, it seemed that I could only say it in private.
According to Barker, the priesthood is elected at the age of twelve, so Karma is only twenty-two years old now, still very young, although her status is high, but she can't preside over the overall situation, it seems that Irelia is more trusted by everyone, and it seems that she can only find a time when no one is paying attention.
So I followed her while she was going out, and quietly stopped her: "Shepherd, please stay, I have something to discuss with you, can I delay you for a while?" ”
"Don't be so polite Yasuo, just call me Irelia like before, I haven't seen you for a few years, your arrogance has decreased a lot, and you are so polite when you speak, it seems that Elder Suma has put a lot of effort into it haha, what's the matter with you?"
"I ...... I would like to ask you to persuade everyone to give up resistance. "It's hard to say.
Irelia was puzzled when she heard this, "What did you say?" Let everyone give up resistance, give up resistance what? ”
"I want everyone to give up resistance to the Noxian army, I've already met Svein, and he promised me that if I obeyed, he wouldn't kill in vain."
Maybe the expression is not in place, and even I feel inappropriate when I hear it, like a traitorous villain who has taken refuge in the enemy to persuade him to surrender, but I can imagine how Irelia felt when she heard it.
"I heard you right, Yasuo, not only are you arrogant, but you're also arrogant? You said you've seen Svein, so you can't have surrendered, right? To be honest, I'm angry, but I want to hear your explanation. ”
As a leader, Irelia's bearing is admirable, and I hastened to tell her the process and thoughts, trying to say what I think in understandable words, but I didn't say anything about what I knew with Svein, otherwise I would really be considered a traitor.
"So that's the case, I almost misunderstood you, you went to the enemy camp alone to negotiate, this bravery is worthy of recognition, but it's too reckless, in case Svein kills you, we will lose a strong partner, as for the road to unity, I don't think it's realistic, Ionia can't unite internally, how can they submit to Noxus together?"
Regardless of whose position they are on, Svein and Irelia have a point, they both want peace, but they have different philosophies, one is eager for reunification, the other wants to maintain the status quo.
"So have you figured out how to deal with the army of Noxus? I heard Master say that they came prepared this time, and I also saw countless soldiers in their barracks who were fully armed and high-spirited, and I think you also know that there is a limit to the enemies that can be fought by martial arts alone, and it is impossible for people to fight endlessly. ”
"It's not like what you said, Yasuo, if it was before, you wouldn't care how many of them there were, in ten years, you have matured a lot. To be honest, I don't have any countermeasures, I just hope that everyone will unite as one, after all, it was such a victory last time, and this time everyone elected me as the leader, and the cohesion is better than at the beginning. ”
Irelia is full of confidence, originally she was a beautiful woman full of oriental atmosphere, at this time the leader temperament is on the body, and the extraordinary charm continues to radiate the people around her, forming a strong cohesion, looking at this woman who is about the same age as me, it is hard to imagine that she is related to the fate of the entire Ionia.
It seems that war is inevitable, although I support Darius's idea and want to help him seize power, but I never want to join him in his journey to unify the world, not to mention that I have promised Soma to protect this land, and I have no choice but to be the enemy.
I'm sorry, Zhao Xin is dead!
I thought that Svein would not take action until the army was assembled, but he did not expect that he sent a commando team to bypass our line and launch an attack on the hometown behind everyone, in an attempt to shake people's hearts, in fact, this trick is very useful, because the resistance army of Ionia is a temporary patchwork, with no discipline and no reward.
And the reason why everyone gathered here, in addition to being inspired by Irelia, the bigger reason is to protect their hometown, and now that their hometown is under attack, how can they still concentrate on fighting? In just three days, almost half of them left the front.
In the end, Svein is scheming, pinpointing the weaknesses of the people here, and disintegrating half of the coalition forces with a simple move, perhaps sometimes, those seemingly well-conceived strategies are not as effective as such simple strategies, and the key is to grasp the psychology of the opponent.
In this way, on the eve of the war, although everyone did not say anything, they knew in their hearts that the battle had almost no chance of winning, and when the army of Noxus came, Irelia gave her final encouragement:
"Heaven has favored this newborn land, so that Ionia has not been destroyed for countless years, but the invasion of Noxus has changed this situation, and where they have passed, villages have been razed, towns have been burned, the environment has been destroyed, people have been slaughtered, and now they have once again raised up an army of unrighteousness, even if they are outnumbered, they must not let them step on this line!"
As one of the most elite troops in Noxus, Svein's Black Feather Legion is no less effective than the Tomahawk Legion led by Darius, especially known for its magic troops, the last time his magic troops caused irreparable bad effects on the environment here, but this time he did not see the shadow of the mage, except for himself.
Our confrontation was completely different from the previous time in Demacia, when the Dreadnought Vanguard and Tomahawk were evenly matched, the battle was fierce, and the ground was soon soaked in blood.
This time we did not confront them, but only used the terrain and the obstacles that had already been set up to involve them, although our coalition forces were undisciplined, they were not a rabble, there were many strange people, everyone used their skills to resist the enemy, so that they could not move an inch.
In this way, in the first few days of the war we suffered almost no casualties, while the Noxian army suffered minor damage, and most importantly their aggressive arrogance was contained, and every step forward cost in blood.
In such a drama, our morale grew higher and higher, and they were forced to stop the offensive. Take a hundred times to read the latest chapter of "Runeterra's Adventure Tale Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
