Chapter 30: The Pursuit
Noxus Barracks
Wearing a rune robe, a green scarf on his face, and a crow symbolizing the dark wizard stood on his shoulder, the commander sent by the general this time didn't look good. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The Noxian generals below whispered.
Svein glanced at the generals below with an eagle-like gaze, his gaze was cold and striking, "I am the wartime commander appointed by the Noxus Military Department, and my goal is pure, to eliminate the Demacia army!" So my first order is that from this day onwards, each soldier will hand in one Demacian head per week, Noxus doesn't need useless waste, and if you can't do it, you can get out now! ”
The harsh order caused the soldiers under him to explode, and one of the generals of Noxus stood up and retorted: "This is simply impossible, the Iron Ridge Mountain Range is so big, it is difficult for us to find even the Demacians!" ”
Svein smiled coldly, his body did not move, and the crow on his shoulder flapped its wings, and released blue magical lightning from its red pupils, knocking it to the ground in an instant.
The blue arc continued to beat around his body, and his flesh was a leaky cowhide bag, and blood splattered out of it, and the painful wail silenced everyone.
"There's a limit to the stupidity I can accept!"
Ignoring the bloody men rolling on the ground, Svein slowly got up under the frightened gaze of the generals, pointed to the map of the Iron Ridge Mountains in front of him, and said, "The Demacians still have nearly 10,000 troops!" They can endure hunger and harsh conditions, but they can't afford not to drink water, although the Iron Ridge Mountains are large, there are not many places to provide drinking water for such a large army, and there will definitely be a harvest along the water source! ”
Darius listened to Huo Ran and got up and said, "I'll send the most elite scout!" ”
The generals who have a goal will leave quickly. It is foreseeable that in order not to become the unlucky guy on the ground, they will definitely dig three feet into the ground to find the Demacian army.
Svein looked through the gate at the rolling hills of the Iron Ridge Mountains, and stroked the smooth feathers of the crow with his left hand, "Worms, run away, my birds are hungry." ”
……
Demacia Barracks
The map, which had been somewhat damaged, was spread out on the ground, and the generals of Winston and Demacia had to crouch on the ground to look at the map due to the conditions.
Gliding his fingers through the twists and turns of the mountain road, Winston was silent. After that night's bloody battle, even though Demacia suffered heavy casualties, Noxus was not much better, and it can be guessed that Noxus, who was prevalent in militarism, would definitely remove Ruiwen from office, and the feast of crows had begun.
The Strategist Commander Svein is just a Fatan in LOL, but those who have read his backstory know that he is one of the few wise generals, just like the strategists of the past and present, who strategize and win thousands of miles.
Such a resourceful general makes Winston, who has been relying on his cleverness to get to where he is today, feel a lot of pressure and a feeling that it is difficult to resist.
"Winston, haven't you made up your mind yet?"
"We've got to get out of this place quickly."
In the face of the impatience of the generals, Winston's mind became even more confused, and the lives of 10,000 soldiers were pressed on his shoulders, and this pressure made him breathe rapidly and a little breathless.
"Don't hesitate, make the right choice!"
Galen slapped Winston on the shoulder, giving him an encouraging look.
Taking a deep breath, Winston made up his mind and pointed to the corner of the map and said categorically, "No matter how many obstacles lie ahead, we'll rush here!" As long as we get to Piltover, we are safe! ”
"Good!"
Gagir shouted, "Soldiers, let's turn northwest and go home!" ”
Gagir's voice cheered the soldiers who were waiting for the results, and they could finally go back.
Winston looked at the soldiers' expressions and sighed.
Galen was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Winston smiled lightly, "It's nothing, let's go home!" ”
Keeping up with the pace of the troops, Winston's complexion gradually sank, and the morale and physical strength of the soldiers were at the limit, if they did not choose to break through in the opposite direction to the city-state of Demacia, I am afraid that the morale of the army would be instantly weakened, and even the most elite Demacian soldiers were likely to cause a mutiny under the torture of homesickness.
Winston didn't know if he had chosen the right path, so he could only silently pray that Svein wouldn't guess Demacia's goal so quickly.
But what Winston didn't expect was that Svein didn't guess at all, but like a hyena that smelled the smell of its prey, he gradually followed the clues.
……
I don't know when it started, Svein likes to stand on a high place and look up at the infinite starry sky, quietly watching the sun and moon flow, fighting and changing stars.
The night breeze blew through his clothes, and a slight coolness came out of his body, which made his mind a little clearer.
"Commander! We've found them! ”
A sentry rode swiftly down the hill.
A gloomy smile sounded from under the green scarf, "Demacia's bugs, destroy under the pecking of crows!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Svein's body fell straight down the hill, and in this way he fell into the boundless darkness in the night wind.
"Lord Commander!"
Svein's movements startled the sentry rider and hurried up to look down the hill.
There was only a darkness devoured by the commander in his eyes, and cold sweat broke out on the body of the sentinel, and the commander died in such an unknown way?
At this moment, a black figure fluttered its wings from under the hill, and frightened the sentry to the ground, only to see the black feathers falling from the sky, and the rough cry gradually faded away from the air.
Landing at the camp in Noxus, Svein slowly entered the tent with his black crow.
"Lord Commander!" …
All the generals stood up and saluted.
Sitting back behind the desk, Svein's hoarse voice rang out in the tent, "Where is the position of the Demacians?" ”
One of the generals stood up and pointed to the map, "Here, the scouts have found traces left by the Demacians. ”
Darius said, "I have ordered the whole army to assemble, and at any moment they can catch up and destroy them!" ”
Svein tapped his finger on the table, his eyes scanning back and forth across the map.
The generals of Noxus await his decision.
Standing up, Svein said in a hoarse voice, "It is difficult to completely annihilate the Demacians in pursuit, and if they become alert, it will be difficult to catch them later." ”
Darius frowned and asked, "What are the plans of the Archon?" ”
Svein plucked a few tail feathers from the crow's body, sneered and stuck them on the map, and then asked the generals, "Have you ever seen a woodpecker hunting?" ”
The generals below looked at each other, and only Darius stared at the distribution of tail feathers, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Svein stretched out his right hand and slowly clenched it, with a look of madness in his eyes: "The Demacians want to go to Piltover. We can keep knocking them like woodpeckers to get them into our ambush and catch them all in one go! ”
