Chapter 25: The Crossfire
In this world, there is a force that cannot be seen and touched, but really exists, from the orbit of the sun, moon and stars in the sky, to the business behavior and development trend in society, all of which are influenced by this force. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is the power of order.
Especially in the society of the intelligent race, the power of order is particularly important. Even in the chaotic Lower Noxus city to outsiders, there is still a unique dark order in the dark.
The combined strength of the four large organizations was enormous, and the originally slightly crowded passages on the road became unobstructed without pedestrians, and everything was in the service of the smooth progress of the operation, and the forces that passed along the road were all dormant, silently watching their march in the dark.
This is the order of underground warfare, and in a lower city where there is no one power to rule, all the rules are made by the various large powers who compromise with each other. Now that the will of the four large organizations is united, if any organization dares to stand up and cause trouble at such a time, it will face the wrath of everyone in this joint operation.
The huge army had converged on the outskirts of the town of Lakeburn, and perhaps these thousands of men were nothing on the surface, and no legion had more than that. But this is the lower town of Noxus, and it is already a great thing to be able to gather such a force.
The dark underground space was now lit up by countless magical lighting fixtures, and the dark town in the distance revealed only a vague outline, silently waiting for the arrival of the mob, and the ominous aura had already spread in the air.
Due to the unique geographical environment of the lower city, such an operation is impossible to keep secret, so it is completely impossible to launch a surprise attack, and can only attack from the front, which is also the reason why the four organizations are united, only the overwhelming advantage in numbers, can minimize the casualties in the street fighting.
Darius silently watched as the witch with a short staff drew the mark of tissue on his clothes, and the green rune energy formed a flaming dagger pattern on his back, which was a sign of identification, so as not to accidentally injure his own people in the dark environment.
His gaze turned to the front of the group, where Fettel, the leader of the Jungle Watchers, had left them with a stocky back, and three other figures appeared beside him, all quietly watching them, waiting for the four leaders to give the order to attack.
"Seth, you brainless deformity, you actually brought all the 'Scorpion Tail', do you want us to harvest a ruin? You idiot. ”
Faitel stared coldly at the man beside him, and at the special unit behind him that used sand scorpions as mounts.
Seth was the leader of the Black Scorpion, his right hand was naturally atrophied and looked like a baby's arm, and as the leader of a large organization, no one dared to laugh at his misshapen hands, but Feitel was clearly not among them.
Seth's face turned white with anger, and he took a deep breath, "Feitel, you bastard, one day Lao Tzu will cut off your arrogant head, do you think the 'Freedom Guard' will sit still?" Or do you think your useless minions will be able to level this town? ”
"Alright, stop this pointless bickering, we didn't get together to watch the two of you quarrel." Ryan, the leader of the Ogle Retreat, shook his head helplessly and stood up to speak. "How? You can't rush in all at once, can you? ”
Feitel squinted in the direction of the town, his face full of chills that could not be concealed, "We are out to hunt, and it will not do us any good to destroy this place, so if you can, don't set fire, and don't let your men loot, any settlement in the lower city is a valuable asset." All you have to do is destroy the forces of the Freedom Defenders. ”
"Clock towers, casinos, warehouses, black markets, pick one by one, after occupying these places, and then get rid of the remaining little bugs, it's basically over. We'll talk about the distribution of earnings after we're done. ”
Fettel's proposal was approved by the remaining three, saying that it was a joint operation, but it was only a fragile alliance after all, and there was no need to expect it to be as united and cooperative as an army, so a simple division of labor was something that everyone wanted to see.
The leaders returned to their ranks, and Faitel drew his dagger pinned to his waist and shouted to the crowd, "Cadres, come to me. ”
He pointed his sword at the town in the dark shadows, and shouted at the cadres in front of him, "Do you see that bell tower? Take your men and fellows and take it for me, anyone who dares to stand in our way is an enemy. Marcus, you take your men and horses and assault from the central avenue of town. ”
Marcus nodded silently, took off the shield on his back, and brought it to him, and the dozens of men he brought with him made the same move, forming a huge phalanx of shieldmen, and began to walk slowly towards the town, the black-scaled wooden shield wrapped in iron was enough to block most of the long-range shots except for the enchanted crossbow.
"Lovren, Bacca, Isaac, you cover from the left flank, Aldrich, Blank, Darius, you go in from the right, the others, stand by first."
As a result, Darius had to lead his men and others to rush forward from the right side of the Giant Shieldmen's phalanx.
The heavy footsteps of the shieldmen sounded rhythmically, and they entered the silent town step by step, all the shops and houses were closed, and the civilians hid in their homes and prayed not to be affected by the war.
After seeing the building, Darius and the others quickly dispersed, they didn't have thick shields or armor, and a dark arrow shot from the shadows would kill them.
Darius pressed his body against the wall, observing his surroundings before moving slowly forward.
The surroundings were terrifyingly quiet, and the shieldmen's advance had not been hindered in any way, and at several other entrances to the town, the fighters of other organizations began to advance towards their destinations one after another.
Due to the conflict of core interests, there is no room for negotiation in this conflict, and the four organizations are determined to destroy the Freedom Defenders, so they will definitely fight desperately, and a deadly attack will come at any time.
Darius beckoned to one of his men behind him, a thin, nimble man, and Darius pointed upwards at him.
The man immediately understood, and he took the rope and hook out of the package, threw it at the two-story building, and then tugged at it, making sure that the hook was firmly grasped, and began to climb up the rope.
When he climbed up, Darius followed him up to the roof, and when he reached the roof, he quickly lay down, and then stuck his head out to look around.
There are no anomalies.
The man handed Darius a small crossbow, then went to the eaves and gestured to the men below, motioning for them to move on.
At that moment, there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and Darius looked up, and the crimson arrow slashed through an arc and fell into the phalanx of shieldmen, and a low explosion sounded. Then came the terrible screams of the shieldmen.
Enchanted arrows.
The enemy's counterattack has finally come.
