Chapter 344 Dinner

Illuminated by the bright magic lamps, the hall was filled with rebel leaders standing and sitting in pairs, and beautiful maids walked through the seats, bringing drinks and delicacies to everyone in the hall.

This is a dinner party to welcome Arthur back, who is now a different person than he used to be, to the point where he must be treated with great hospitality.

In the past, he returned from his disappearance for two years, and his identity was still only a disciple of Victor, but today he is the co-leader of the Northern Alliance, standing in the Black Mountain Mountains, and has faintly become independent of Zu'an, and has become an identity that these leaders of the Zu'an rebels must rely on.

The gap between the two is very far,

The impact of the capture of the Black Mountain Range by the north on the entire battle situation in Zuan is clearly visible.

If Victor sent Arthur north to contact the elves and dwarves to form a coalition army, in order to open up a second battlefield for Zu'an's war of resistance, disrupt the enemy's logistics, and relieve the pressure on Zu'an on the frontal battlefield, then Arthur simply led the coalition army to capture the Black Mountain Fortress, which was to completely cut off the enemy's rear route.

In the end, he did much more than Victor had originally envisioned.

This is like on a chessboard, the enemy's Tulatan Legion is like a big dragon that swoops in and out, with strong troops, teeth and claws, but in essence there is still no eye position, Arthur's coalition army broke through the Black Mountain Fortress is to destroy the enemy's only eye position, so that the Tulatan Army has become a lone army, and the strategic situation in the south of the continent has been reversed one hundred and eighty degrees.

Now even if the Tulatan army is still strong and powerful, but do not forget that they are always on the enemy's territory, the northern coalition army is moving south, breaking through the Tasmir at any time, the enemy's rear route is cut off, and the supply may be cut off at any time, becoming the object of encirclement.

If it weren't for the existence of Noxtola, the current Tulatan Legion would have collapsed completely.

Now the only thing the Noxians rely on is Noxtola, and the logistics and retreat of the entire army depend on it. The southern war situation of the entire empire, the warriors and auxiliaries of nearly 100,000 Noxians, and the lives of the battle-hardened male soldiers, all pressed on this fragile gate of time and space.

Although this plane is indeed worthy of the greatest invention of the Imperial Mage Regiment, and it is true that it can maintain the attrition of the garrison in a short time, in the long run, it has become the fatal life of the Tulatan Legion.

You must know that since ancient times, this situation has never occurred on the battlefield, and the safety of the thousand-mile embankment is all tied to a corner, which in itself is a huge flaw sold to the enemy. Noxtola, a space-time gate, is used for the jumping assault of small troops, and it is definitely a killer weapon to change the situation on the battlefield, but it is used to maintain the logistics of an entire army? It's not a good idea.

Noxtola is fragile, it can only stand on the plain all the time, and without protection, it cannot be as strong as a fortress.

And once such a space-time gate is destroyed by the enemy, it is conceivable that the 100,000 troops here will definitely collapse in an instant, and the Noxians will definitely not be able to hold on without the space-time gate as their backing, and the magic circle without the magic crystal magic power cannot be maintained, and without weapons and food, the warriors will not be able to continue fighting, let alone in Zu'an, who is like mud everywhere?!

At that time, those Zuans who have been burrowing into the ground like rats will definitely come out in time to deal a fatal blow to the Tulatan legion, which has run out of ammunition!

It's not even war anymore, it's gambling.

So now don't look at the Noxians with more and more reinforcements, and the circle near Noxtola is getting bigger and bigger, but none of this solves the real problem.

Tulatan is actually strong on the outside and dry on the middle.

This situation, if it is a politician who is a little bit rational. I would never be willing to make such a gamble that was almost life-or-death. In the eyes of the vast majority of people in countries and regions, an empire like Noxus, a country with a vague continental hegemony, there is no need to gamble with a broken household like Zuan.

Even old fellows like Victor and Heimerdinger couldn't figure out why the Noxians didn't retreat quickly when they had the chance, but still had to build up their troops.

It's definitely a stupid move.

So when you think about it the other way around, you can imagine the importance of Arthur's lone victory to the Zaun.

It can be said that the current predicament of the Noxians in the south is completely a situation created by Arthur's juniors. Today, here, all of us are thankful to Him.

Alchemists like Henry Brown and alchemists like Hingis all gathered around and toasted Arthur frequently.

"It's really worthy of being a genius once in a thousand years in the mainland!"

"Your future must be able to stand alongside those legends!"

The crowd kept flying towards Arthur with all kinds of compliments, which overwhelmed him.

But there are always differences in any occasion:

"You're late!" Newman, the alchemy lord, looked at Arthur with a strange look, "You can do it, boy! You masters and apprentices played with everyone, and Victor made us all fight to resist the Noxians' attack here, only to have you run behind the enemy's back to take advantage. ”

"I heard you went to the Forest of Secret Words? Met the Elven Queen? Hey! Wouldn't you consider giving you a few elven maids? Your master and apprentice have eaten a piece of fat meat this time. ”

This guy's face is full of greed, and it seems that he is a little red-eyed when he sees Arthur leading his army to take territory in the north.

"Don't listen to him." Henry Brown stepped forward and raised his glass, keeping the guy out of his back, "He's just jealous." Be jealous of the steel of the dwarves you can bring us and the alchemy materials of the Secret Forest. ”

The people next to him chimed in.

"Aha! Oh, yes! ”

"Dwarves and elves, steel and alchemical materials, fountains of life and fountains of magic...... Damn, you did, you're a genius, Arthur! ”

The steel and alchemy materials from the north are definitely the most desired materials for the Zuan people now, and the long-term war has made the materials of the Zuan scarce for a long time, and the materials that Arthur brought back to the Zuan people this time have made up a lot of blood for everyone.

But let Arthur send everyone a few elves?

Hum!

Arthur looked at the alchemy baron named Newman with unkind eyes. It's really looking for death!

Do you think he's still the same Arthur who just returned from the North and is alone?

"Newman, you're drunk! Don't talk stupid," Henry Brown glared at the guy fiercely, "Lord Arthur, they took down the Black Mountain Fortress by taking down the Black Mountain Range, where there are more than 10,000 Noxian legions,"

"Humph! Stupidity! ”

Newman was reprimanded by Henry Brown's sharp reprimand. But this guy still looked a little angry.

What an idiot!

But the others weren't stupid, and most people heard more from Henry Brown's words, yes! That's right, Arthur went north this time, but it was by no means like Newman and others who wanted to go behind enemy lines to exploit loopholes, at least, to break through the Black Mountain Fortress, which everyone would never dare to think.

If nothing else, a city like Tasemir would not have been possible without Victor's personal intervention.

A city or fortress with a defensive circle is absolutely desperate.

If nothing else, let's just talk about Zuan, what is the reason why he has been able to hold out under the powerful offensive of the Noxians in the past two years?

Isn't it because of the advantages that Zu'an's special terrain brings to your side? There are no surface cities in the Zaun region, and there are long underground caverns everywhere, and these mines are interconnected, which gives the defenses of Zaun an unparalleled defensive advantage. That's why it's hard for the Noxians to move here.

Otherwise, Victor alone would not have been able to protect all the people here.

And those cities and fortresses that are protected by a magic circle according to their geographical advantages are definitely far easier to defend and difficult to attack than the mines of Zu'an.

Not to mention, the Montenegrin Fortress is definitely the strongest of the famous fortresses and Xiongcheng in all continents, and the Principality of Roses has been able to maintain the Montenegrin defense line for hundreds of years and gain peace for hundreds of years, if it weren't for the accident that occurred in the capital of the Principality, this fortress would not even be able to be breached.

But such a fortress was actually taken by Arthur's coalition army.

So how strong is the army that can capture this fortress, everyone looked at Arthur, and couldn't help but think of the gossip that they occasionally heard on the magic web, it is rumored that there are many high-level commanders and high-level mages in charge of the magic circle in the Noxus legion that defended the fortress, and there is a whole imperial mage establishment, but the fortress that is defended in this way is still broken by the coalition army under the leadership of Arthur in a frontal attack, how incredible it is!

Arthur's name has now spread across the continent with the victory of this battle. The name is almost on par with the name of his mentor Victor, the youngest future legend recognized on the mainland.

So how strong is such Arthur himself now?

Only the more powerful casters can defeat the high-tier casters.

Some people in the magic web speculate that Arthur's strength is actually that of his mentor Victor.

That's why such a miracle can be created!

And he is only about twenty years old now, and such a young man will almost certainly be a legend in the future.

And against an enemy whose future is destined to be legendary. Because of this, the war between the Noxians and the southern part of the empire in other regions and kingdoms on the continent is increasingly tilting towards the Southern Resistance, including powerful countries such as Demacia, who are considering forming alliances with the Southern Resistance against the Noxians.

And these changes are all brought about by the coalition under Arthur's army.

Everyone looked at Arthur, feeling the unfathomable power hidden in the darkness behind the other person's figure.

The former genius apprentice of Victor seems to have grown to a point of admiration before he knows it.
