The feud between Noxus and Demacia has lasted for hundreds of years, and in this hundred years, there have been countless wars, and Noxus has far surpassed Demacia in terms of national strength and military strength, but the biggest reason why Demacia has never been destroyed is Demacia's unique geographical location. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Serpentine River, the first river in Valoran, gave the upper plains to Demacia, and the lower half of it was full of swamps and forests, the famous ones being foam swamps, howling swamps, and poison gas swamps. These places are all rare dangerous places, not to mention that it is difficult for troops to pass through, and even those strong people who travel to the continent are difficult to survive in these dangerous places. On the other side of the Serpentine River is the Iron Ridge Mountains, known as the backbone of the Valoran continent, which completely separates the eastern and western continents with a vast group of mountains that stretch for thousands of miles, and except for the Faust Pass at the end of the Iron Ridge Mountains, the other trails are difficult for large armies to pass.

Therefore, even if Svein captured the fortress of Faust, which Noxus had not captured for a hundred years, it was still very difficult to completely destroy Demacia. The Serpentine River, which straddles the army, is far more difficult to attack than Faust, because in this huge river, there is a Demacian naval division, while the Noxus only have army units.

The bridge that once connected the two counties of Rhine and Grimm was also blown up by Demacia due to the fall of Faust, and now there are two roads in front of Svein, one is to continue westward, but it is necessary to find a way to overcome Demacia's naval army to cross the Serpentine River, even after crossing the Serpentine River, it will face problems such as the battle line being stretched too long and the rear supply resources cannot keep up. One is to be stationed in Faust with peace of mind, completely pocket Greene County and Rhine County, and then slowly build up their own naval troops, through dozens of hundreds of years, step by step to encroach on Demacia.

Without a doubt, the second way is the safest and safest way in Noxus. But the former army commander Svein felt that his time was running out, and he wanted to tear down the last barrier of Demacia before he died, so he chose the first path.

Svein sent Asiborne's vanguard to follow Andri, with the sole purpose of preventing the army from crossing the river. Svein himself led his troops to collect civilian ships in Rhine and Grimm, and wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Demacian army could not help but use the large ships of the sailors to meet the remnants of Andri's defeated army, and then led his troops to blockade with small boats to completely destroy the naval division of Demacia.

According to the letter received by Svein, Demacia's naval division was no more than 8,000 people, and as long as this naval division was destroyed, his army could cross the river boldly and with confidence.

However, it backfired, the Admiral of Demacia's navy was reluctant to transport people with a large ship of the navy, and Asiborne also betrayed Svein's trust and was defeated by a completely demoralized Demacian army! Until now, Svein had not known that Andri's position of commander had been replaced by Galen, and when he learned from the deserters that Demacia's army had captured the camp ahead, Svein knew that his hopes of destroying Demacia's naval army were about to fail.

Svein immediately adjusted his strategic deployment, abandoning his plan to use civilian boats to besiege the Demacian sailors, and then led an army of 40,000 straight to the lost camp.

The scout had brought back the news of the approaching army of Svein, and Galen could no longer study the military sandbox of Noxus with peace of mind, and just as he was about to convene the generals, the messenger sent back by Gavin arrived.

The person with the letter was Vayne, who Galen was very familiar with, and when Vayne appeared, Galen's face became very ugly, and he asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Wayne lowered his head and explained in a low voice, "On the way back, I was captured by Andriy's personal army, who snatched your autograph letter and sent me to Hemingway's naval dungeon when the army departed. It was Prince Jiawen who rescued me, and the prince asked me to bring a letter to the general. ”

With that, Wayne handed over the letter with both hands. Galen took the letter from her hand, opened the envelope and looked at it, and it was not long before Galen's face became very ugly. Galen's body trembled slightly, allowing the letter in his hand to fall, and asked bitterly, "Could it be that Gavin still wants to abandon his country at this time?" Abandon the people of Demacia? Is he willing to be a coward!! ”

In the end, Galen even hissed and yelled, he didn't expect Gavin to make such a choice, Galen's belief was strongly impacted at this moment, and he spent great effort to rescue Gavin in the hope that he could stand up in Demacia's most difficult moment, instead of being a deserter. Wayne explained in a low voice beside him: "The situation in the royal capital is very complicated, and the prince is forced to make such a move, so don't blame him, general." ”

"That's it!" Galen closed his eyes, and he could think in his heart that Gavin must have been under a lot of pressure to leave, but he still underestimated the impact of Andri's death on Gavin. He thought the same as Hua Li Lang, they only considered the life and death of these tens of thousands of troops, and did not think too much about the imbalance of power behind them.

Their identity and status determine how things are seen and the choices they make.

Hemingway's sailors would not have been dispatched without support from the rear, and Galen had already understood that they had abandoned this force.

Perhaps the moment they killed Andri, it was decided that the path they were about to take would be very dangerous, but at that time they didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. Now, Gavin chooses to bear all the pressure, but is seen as a deserter by Galen.

Galen waved Wayne back, closing his eyes in contemplation for a moment, then dragging his heavy legs to the council's tent.

Next to the huge marching map, there were many generals above the rank of captain, and their eyes were the same, looking at Galen, who looked rather serious. In the tent, Galen's deep voice was heard: "Svein's army is soon coming, but we have cut off our retreat!" The food and grass in the camp is only enough for the troops to eat for half a month, and Svein will not give us half a month to rest slowly! We have lost the support of the state, we have lost the trust of the king, and now the only thing that can sustain us is the land and family behind us! ”

"All of you here, including most of the soldiers in the army, come from the western plains of Demacia, and you have also seen what the people of Rhine and Greenshire have suffered! If we retreat, then our homeland will be more dangerous! So, I decided to fight to the death! ”

Galen's words were clear and heavy, and word by word reached the ears of everyone present, making the faces of many people very ugly. Galen's decision made them realize how dangerous the road ahead would be, but they had no way back!

Everyone was silent, they didn't dare to speak out, they were afraid to speak out.

In the big tent, it suddenly became very quiet, so quiet that the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.

All the generals are flesh and blood men, they have never forgotten the glory of Demacia, but the recent defeat has given them a blow in the face, they still failed when the army has the advantage in numbers, and now the army has been weakened several times, the supplies, military rations, and the support behind them have all been cut off, why should they confront Svein head-on?

Just when his heart was wavering, Hua Li Lang stood up, and he said loudly: "The general is right, let's just break the kettle and sink the boat, put it to death and come back to life!" ”

Hua Li Lang roared majestically, and suddenly found that everyone was looking at him with puzzled eyes, Hua Li Lang chrysanthemum tightened, and said with a dry smile: "If you can't understand the meaning of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, I can also understand it, this is a sentence in my hometown, the kettle is the pot stove, and the sinking boat is the sinking ferry, describing that he has cut off the back road and fought to the death with the enemy!" ”

Hearing Hua Li Lang's explanation, the people around him finally understood. Arnold on the side asked: "General Hua, since there is a sentence in your hometown, is there any other story in it?" ”

"Story?" Hua Li Lang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Naturally, everyone can listen to it!" ”

"In my homeland, there was a powerful country, because of the cruelty of its rulers, which caused the people of the country to rebel against the king's rule. An army of rebels was trapped in a castle while fighting against government forces. The government army could have breached the castle, but they deliberately did not fight, they wanted to use the castle to attract all the rebels to this place, and then wipe them out! Many of the rebels came with their troops, but when they saw that the government forces were several times their own, no one dared to act rashly and watched from across the river. When this crucial castle was about to fall, a great hero appeared, who bravely crossed the river with less than 30,000 troops, and then ordered his soldiers to smash pots and pans, scuttle ferries to cut off all their retreats, and then led 30,000 troops to storm the 200,000 army of the government army! After a bloody battle, the government army was defeated by the high-morale rebel army! It is the famous battle of winning more with less in my hometown, and the word shipwreck comes from this allusion! ”

After listening to Hua Li Lang's story, the eyes of these generals around him lit up. Arnold asked eagerly, "General Hua, are you telling the truth?" ”

Hua Li Lang nodded affirmatively: "Naturally, it's true!" ”

Just when these generals began to have a little confidence, one of them jumped out and said loudly: "I don't believe it! General Hua Li Lang, you said you were an Ionian! Although Ionia is far away from the Valoran continent, I still know some about its history, and there is no such story as you! Say it! Did you deliberately make up a story to fool us! ”

"Holy!" Hua Li Lang looked at this damn enlightened person with a shocked face, and complained angrily in his heart: "Who made you so discerning? Didn't you see that my brother told this story to increase your faith? ”

Hua Li Lang, who was about to go crazy, opened his mouth and shouted: "Who TMD said that I am an Ionian!" ”

"Huh?"

Everyone in the military tent grew their mouths and looked at Hua Li Lang in shock.

Hua Li Lang knew that he was speechless, he rolled his eyes, and his brain kept thinking of ways to lie. At this time, he felt that he was cheap, when he told the first lie, he had to make up for it with lies continuously, but paper can never contain the fire, Hua Li Lang didn't expect that his lie would be discovered so soon!

Just as he was struggling to figure out how to tell the lie, Galen spoke up: "That's right! This story was indeed made up by General Hua! But do you know General Hua's good intentions in making up this story? He's trying to tell us! There's nothing you can't do! As long as you dare to do it! What if this story is true or false? We don't need to break the boat, we have no way out! Behind us is the surging river! It is the home we are desperately protecting! Even if we die in battle, we must loudly tell the Noxian invaders: We are Demacians! ”

Under Galen's roar, the flames in the hearts of the tent were finally ignited, and they clenched their fists and shouted with Galen: "Demacia! Demacia! ”

It was only at this time that Hua Li Lang breathed a sigh of relief.

Lying, sometimes it really kills people!
