Chapter 54: The Eyes of Change
Why does it suddenly feel so hot? When I opened my eyes, I saw a sea of fire in front of me! Was it the Noxians who set the fire?
I got up quickly, and found so many people wailing in despair as far as the eye could see!
Cities burned, walls crumbled, and flames swelled like waves and screamed like beasts, devouring everything they touched.
I stood there in shock, and then I noticed that the flames were coming towards me as if they had a consciousness of their own, and I quickly gathered the strength of the wind to try to change its course, but to no avail, and the fire immediately consumed me!
Although I was surrounded by flames, I couldn't feel the burning sensation, could it be an illusion? Yes, it must be so, otherwise I am in the barracks now, how can I see the city?
Before I could figure it out, the flames were all gone, and the purgatory in front of me became a cold hell, frozen for thousands of miles, like a huge coffin burying all living beings, and I was no exception, although I still didn't feel it, but I couldn't move.
I lay flat in the ice, looking at the turbid sky, and suddenly found that the clouds cracked, a pair of huge eyes slowly opened, pure malice did not hide at all, staring at me in the heart of panic, if the will is not firm, it is likely to go crazy directly.
"Ah......h
At this moment, cold sweat soaked the sheets, and my heart was still pounding, and the eyes that woke me up were deeply imprinted in my mind.
"What's wrong with you, Yasuo?" Riven was woken up by my screams.
"It's okay, I had a nightmare, let's go ahead and rest." I didn't plan to get up before dawn, but I couldn't have fallen asleep, because every time I closed my eyes, there were those evil eyes.
Evil eyes?
I suddenly remembered what Darius had said to Cree, that he had been stared at in a dream by a pair of evil eyes, so that he, a fearless man, could wake up, and he regarded it as a disaster and made the decision to unite all mankind, did it matter?
It's a pity that I can't see Darius now, otherwise I can confirm with him if the scene in our dreams is the same.
Having survived until dawn, feeling physically and mentally exhausted, I wanted to have a good rest last night, but I ended up working harder than any other day, and the people of the coalition army had already begun to practice, which they would not have done before.
Svein was not in a hurry to attack, because he did not carry out much military conquest this time, so he had no worries, and the vast expanse of land in the west could produce enough food for him to fight a protracted war.
With enough coercion, he believed that the coalition would soon break up, and the Ionians did not like military life, and in a moment and a half they would spontaneously resist the enemy, and after a long time or harassment of the rear as before, they would inevitably break up again.
Besides, who likes a ferocious beast to crouch in front of their house all the time? Wouldn't it be better to give it some food and let it go on its own? After all, Svein had proven that he would not kill as long as he conquered.
Of course, Irelia is not stupid, she has long seen Svein's plan, but there is no way to deal with it, the active attack cannot break through the defense of the Noxian iron barrel, and the passive defense changes over time.
After several unsuccessful attempts, she gave up on letting Svee retreat, and was helpless as the Coalition was dwindling every day.
Although I don't understand military affairs, I can see that Irelia is too young in front of Svein, she has no experience in commanding troops, and she doesn't have enough strategy, and it is unrealistic to set up a think tank to solve the situation.
Don't look at the various leaders of the coalition forces who usually don't express their opinions, once they get together to discuss countermeasures, one can say more than the other, and often the discussion can't reach a result until the next day, at this time, everyone will let Irelia take the idea, so in the end, it is Irelia who makes the decision.
Although the discipline of the coalition is much better than before, and everyone trains desperately, it still can't change the fact that it is scattered.
Irelia often came to me, at first she was more patient to analyze the situation and ask me to help with ideas, but then it slowly turned into simple complaints, I sympathized with her, but I couldn't help her except by force.
It was a rare time of calm for me, and in addition to continuing to comprehend the uniform strength that Kree had taught me, I also studied the wind with Riven, because in the last moments of the last battle with her, she used her greatsword to send out a strong wind.
Although the greatsword itself contains the power of the wind element, it cannot form a lethal force without human control, and Rui Wen does not know about this, she told me that she used it unintentionally.
Since she has this talent, wouldn't it be a good choice for me to teach her the Wind Resisting Technique and carry forward the mastery of the Wind Sword Sect as a way to atone for her sins?
"You killed Elder Soma, this is a scar in our hearts that is difficult to heal, and now I have thought of a good way to atone for our sins, are you willing to accept it?"
"Of course I do, as long as I can make up for my mistakes, I am willing to atone for my sins by all means! Just don't know what to do with me? ”
"I want to teach you the Wind Sword Sect's mastery of the Wind Resisting Technique, and if you can master this ancient skill and carry it forward, I think his old man will be happy."
"Wind Resistant? May I? ”
"Absolutely!"
I tried to teach her some knowledge about the art of wind control, but I didn't expect her to comprehend it surprisingly quickly, I don't know if it was because we had been taught by the five teachers we had in common or if she was born together, in short, she used the wind more and more decently.
To my surprise, Rui Wen is not only fast, but also often has her own unique understanding, which allows me to have some small improvements to the wind control technique that I already know, and when a skill is mastered, these small improvements can have a considerable effect!
In about half a month, I am more comfortable with the use of wind resistance, and I have made a new breakthrough in the comprehension of evenness, and Rui Wen has been able to condense a more obvious wind power on the giant sword, and the broken sword is reforged, just around the corner!
Our cultivation has been improving, but the morale of the army has plummeted, and compared to the beginning, the coalition has lost nearly a third of its personnel, and Irelia has finally made up her mind to fight a decisive battle with Svein!
I didn't think Svein would have agreed to such a desperate request for a fight, after all, he was now in the upper hand, and he only needed to continue to defend and harass from time to time to win, so why risk it? But he didn't expect him to promise Irelia and was willing to fight with all his strength!
The decisive battle was set for three days later, when the wide battlefield west of Presidium was unusually calm, the vegetation withered in late autumn, and occasionally a few birds flew in, and were soon frightened away by the slightest movement, and the peaceful scene did not give the slightest indication that a storm was coming.
