Chapter 268: Rear Emergency
By the time everyone had climbed the walls of the second line of defense, everyone was shocked by what they saw. An ancient city wall that originally stood majestically was turned into ashes in an instant. There are still a few places where there are still raging flames burning among the broken rocks. The corpses of the Noxian soldiers were strewn across all the rubble, some intact and some dismembered.
"Who buried this explosive?" Qin Chuan looked at the collapsed city wall in front of him and asked at the craftsmen. The second direction was not very far from the original wall of Presidium, and if it was a normal explosion, the second line of defense that had just been established would definitely be implicated, but all the explosion force was directed in the direction outside the city, that is, in the direction where the Noxian army was located. All the impact was also rushed outside, so the second line of defense was not implicated in the slightest!
"I buried it! When I was in Zaun, I was fortunate enough to learn a technique called spot blasting. He can fix the direction of the explosion, so all the power of the explosion is directed at the Nok Sassa army! The leading craftsman said.
"You are all heroes of Ionia, and the five unnamed people are all unsung heroes!" Qin Chuan looked at the city wall that had long been unrecognizable and said.
"What do we do next?" Kalmar said as he looked at the Noxa soldiers outside the city who were blocked by the ruins.
"We can't let up because of this sneak attack. Darius's temperament was not the kind to give up easily, and the walls in this direction had been blown up, and their army would not be able to get close to it for a while. But we still need to take precautions! "Irelia recovered quickly. The giant sword, which had been carried behind him all the time, did not need to be carried at all times at this moment, and it was always following Irelia, just floating all the time.
"Yes, Irelia is right. Especially in the other three directions. It is impossible to blow up all the walls, and we must assign some troops as sentinels, keeping an eye on the other three sides. Place Darius attacking from the other direction! "Qin Chuan knows Darius's temperament very well, and in this company's frustration, who knows what Darius will see.
"I'll leave it to you here, and I'll keep an eye on you. The power of the stars will never be exhausted. Seeing that there would be no more fighting, Soraka went back for the time being. Qin Chuan looked at Soraka's back and had a feeling of depression. The feeling of falling off the altar is not something that everyone can face calmly. And this also has a direct impact on the strength of Solaka.
Irelia redistributed the personnel, Master Yi took Yasuo and Alista, and led a team of men to guard the west side of Presidium, and the Shadow Three Musketeers of the Balance Sect, while Shen, Akali, and Kenan went to the eastern wall of Presidium. Karma and the old general took Li Qing to the North City Gate, where only Irelia and Qin Chuan were left.
"What will you choose to do when the war is over?" Qin Chuan looked at the Noxian army that was gradually calming down in the distance, and said to Irelia.
"I'm probably going to stay in Irelia and protect the peace of the land and water. When I was unconscious, I dreamed of my father, and my brother and I would watch from the sidelines when my father practiced swordsmanship since childhood. At that time, I often asked my father what the purpose of learning the sword was. My father told me that it was to protect Ionia's will. I still can't say what the will of Ionia is, but I know what I need to protect. Irelia gently stroked the sword called the Supreme Blade floating beside her.
"Some swords are so graceful and agile that they cannot be restrained. Some swords are heavy and domineering, guarding the peace of one side. Each sword has the temperament of each sword, which is also destined for his duty. The so-called Ionian will may be a responsibility. Qin Chuan looked at Irelia's heaviness and steadiness, and thought of Yasuo's debauchery and uninhibitedness, as well as Master Yi's maturity and sophistication. I don't know what kind of style my sword will become in the future.
"You go and take a break, I'll just keep an eye on it here." Qin Chuan said to Irelia: "Only by maintaining the best condition at all times can we meet the challenges below. ”
Irelia was not polite to Qin Chuan, but now Irelia felt a little tired, and Qin Chuan's strength Irelia was still trustworthy. So I went to rest in peace.
The military tents in the Noxus camp were all dismantled this morning. Darius originally thought that one day would be enough time to break through the city of Presidian, but he did not expect that until nightfall, there was still no substantial breakthrough.
Even if the walls of Presidium were breached, it was best to be placed on a side, not only was the loss huge, but the wall that was blown into ruins was still a barrier to Presidium. As long as this barrier remains, the cavalry of Noxus will no longer be useful!
"General Darius, I just got a message from the rear that I don't know if it's good news or bad news." The mysterious man said as he stood behind Darius. Darius looked at his own soldiers sitting on the ground, not in the mood to joke with this mysterious man, and said with a stiff face: "Is there any news to say directly, and what news will be worse than the situation we are facing now?" ”
"Svein has captured Gavin IV!" The mysterious man no longer went around the pass, and told Darius directly.
In a short sentence, it brings a lot of information to Darius. Svein led the team to resist Demacia and succeeded, it would be nothing in peacetime, but the key is that Darius did not get anything substantial on the battlefield of Ionia, and he also lost so many manpower and material resources. What's more, Svein even captured Gavin IV, who was the prince of Demacia.
"What's going on over there in Demacia?" Darius didn't say much, but he couldn't tell anything from his expression.
"The troops are already being assembled, and the vanguard has already taken the lead under Galen. If Demacia's army had arrived in Noxus before you returned, I don't think Svein would have been able to resist Demacia's attack with those forces, no matter how talented he was. The mysterious man synthesized all the information and said his analysis: "If the general plans to go back, then hurry up." ”
Darius didn't say anything more, just stared at the newly built walls of Presidium. There was also a ruined wall in front of the new city, Darius took a deep breath, looked up at the shining starlight in the sky, and said, "Alas, the time is not as good as the place! ”
"Then I'll go back first." The mysterious man had already understood what Darius meant, and as soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared into the night.
