Chapter 92: The Fall of the South

The fall of the Temple of Pyras has plunged the entire southern region into despair, and the return of the Children of the Stars is the last hope in the hearts of the people, who await the temple's redemption. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, at the call of the High Priest, the forces of the entire northern region were gathering troops in Presidium to guard the central temple. Here, it is regarded as the last symbol of religious belief in Ionia, and it cannot be lost.

However, the imaginary battle for the defense of the capital has not started for a long time.

It was not until 6 February, when the main forces of the Imperial army were found in the direction of the province of Nawel, that the Ionian army assembled in the north finally breathed its breath.

This time, however, the vast southern region was completely in despair.

On the 7th, the Imperial army marched from the city of Neville, dispatched 100,000 troops to disperse into three routes and advanced to the east, rapidly spreading the war to the entire southern region.

There were not many decent troops in southern Ionia, and even the most powerful Neville had surrendered early, and the rest of the country lacked the courage to resist.

Cities were captured, and the speed at which the Imperial marched determined the speed at which the southern provinces fell.

By the end of February, the Imperial Three-Way Army had joined forces at the last strategic point in Sasha Province on the east coast of Ionia, representing that Noxus had captured half of Ionia.

At the moment in the south, only a rebel army led by Karma held out. But they could only hide in the coastal mountains, occasionally coming out to harass the Imperial occupation forces in nearby cities.

In a tactical sense, the presence of this rebel army poses no threat to the Imperial army. Strategically, however, they were the last spark of the will of the southern Ionians to be extinguished.

Karma had to be cautious and lead the rebels to dodge the enemy's sweep every day, while also constantly searching for any possible friendly forces.

On this very day, a rebel squad spotted a warship in a hidden ravine along the coast.

Kalmar rushed to hear the news and was thrilled when he saw the mighty battleship, which seemed to be the magic warship of the Ionian Navy.

But when she saw the pirate flag fluttering on the mast of the battleship, she immediately became extremely disappointed.

The pirates of Blue Flame are not Ionian's enemies, but they are by no means friends. These greedy guys are only driven by money and are not trustworthy at all.

Karma departed lonely, and behind her the battleship Glory slowly sailed out of the canyon and back into the vast expanse of the sea. The Gale Regiment led by Lin Feng had only recently found Soraka and the others, and they had to leave the Ionian region temporarily.

This small misunderstanding almost changed the fate of the entire Ionia, and it also made two important figures who could influence the situation in Valoran pass by in the future.

However, fate is so impermanent. It's not clear whether it's right or wrong, and it's impossible to even guess whether it's good or bad for the future.

Throughout the month of March, the whole country of Noxus celebrated, with both the military and the civilian population celebrating this great victory.

At the same time, in the southern occupation zone of Ionia, the Imperial army had already begun its next move after resting.

The Empire waged wars against Ionia not for territory, but for wealth and strategic supplies. The three resource-rich and economically developed foreign trade ports on the southern coast are the core strategic objectives. The remaining actions are merely aimed at removing obstacles to the achievement of this goal.

At this time, in addition to Neville, across the sea, there are two provinces, Garrin and Songzan, like two huge treasure troves that attract the coveted eyes of the Empire.

At the beginning of March, the Imperial High Command had begun planning naval operations to take Garrin and Songzan in one fell swoop.

As a result, due to the greed of the Imperial army, they caused a small problem for themselves, and not long ago, they destroyed the crystal hub of the Presidium Altar, causing the climate in the west coast of Ionia to suddenly become extremely cold. The Sacred Harbor area was even more affected by a once-in-a-century cold snap, and the mouth of the sea was frozen, and the main force of the Imperial Navy was trapped in it.

It was not until early April that the temperature rose, and the main forces of the navy were able to move south from the direction of Presidium to begin the next combat operation.

At this point, the Ionian regime realized the true strategic intentions of the Empire, but it was too late.

On the contrary, the Bilgewater had a sharper sense of war, and they had an insight into the ambitions of the Imperials, and spent the whole month preparing for a series of battles.

The Empire is also well aware that the northern forces of Ionia are no longer a threat to their plans to capture Garrin and Songzan, and the only obstacle comes from the Blue Flame Island.

The three foreign ports of southern Ionia were related to the core interests of Bilgewater, and the Empire also started the war because of their interests. Both sides of this piece of fat want to get their hands on it, but there is no possibility of mediation.

On 5 April, the main force of the Imperial Navy was exhausted, and the Seven Fleets drove straight down to the west side of Garrin and approached the Blue Flame Island.

At this time, Lin Feng and the others started to act as pirates again, and the Glory was part of the First Fleet under Planck. The fleet departed from Birgewater Bay and assembled eighty nautical miles north of Blue Flame Island to hold off the Imperial Navy.

In the early morning of the 6th, a red sun rose at the junction of the sea and the sky. The sun shone brightly on the sails of the Glory.

The lookout on the mast gave a warning signal to spot an Imperial Navy fleet ten nautical miles to the northwest.

Lin Feng opened his eyes and looked into the distance, and huge black sails appeared in the sea in front of him, and he found more than 30 ships of the Imperial Navy. Looking at its huge silhouette, all of them are the main warships.

Carter immediately said excitedly: "We are lucky, it is the latest Seventh Fleet of the Imperial Navy, and there is something wrong with it." ”

Lin Feng muttered: "It's really bad luck to get to grandma's house." ”

Before, he fought for Ionia, one was forced by the situation, and the other was to save face for Soraka and the Temple, but now for the pirate den of Blue Flame Island, he is fighting the Imperials, which is really a brain show.

Lin Feng's purpose in joining this battlefield is very simple, that is, to train his team, and he definitely does not come to be cannon fodder.

Immediately, he gave the order, and the Glory slipped back to Planck's flagship.

Planck, however, was like a chicken, and when he saw the enemy appear, he immediately ordered the Black Pearl to sail. At the same time, he also lay on the edge of the boat and teased Carter with words: "Yo, Carter girl, you are scared." Don't be afraid, there will be artillery fighting after the eldest brother. Don't charge, don't charge, secretly shoot cannons. ”

Carter was immediately enraged, turned around and rushed to the control room. Lin Feng was already blocking at the door, silently raising three fingers: "I want you to do three things today, the first is not to shoot, the second is not to mess around, and the third is ...... Well, I haven't figured it out yet, I'll talk about it then. ”

Carter saw him holding the last finger in front of his eyes, his face became ugly, and he said coldly: "Lin Feng, are you giving me the middle finger?" ”

Lin Feng was immediately stunned by her glare, and hurriedly said: "I think about it, the third is to ask you to go back and sleep for a while." If a woman doesn't get enough sleep, her temper will deteriorate. You see you have dark circles under your eyes, and you're still so irritable. ”

Carter's face became more and more indifferent, and he said quietly: "I will also tell you three things, first you just pointed me in the middle finger and I was very angry, second, you said that I have a bad temper so I don't have to endure it, and third, you said that I have dark circles under my eyes, so ......"

"So what?"

Knock, knock.

Carter slammed his fists into Lin Feng's eyes, and then went back to his room to sleep.
