Chapter395 Stalemate
As a mountain fortress that can build a large workshop for forging iron and smelting, the army of the Emerald Leader did not choose to stay for a long time, and the Emerald Collar did not lack coal and iron ore, not to mention that during the Righteous War at this time, it would naturally not consume additional manpower to operate the Caryas Anvil.
In November, with Margaret's Legion as the right army, the North Sea Fortress was cut off from the North Sea Fortress and Heidi City's connection and logistics supply line, and the Alice Legion was used as the left army to surround the left side of the North Sea Fortress, making the North Sea Fortress, which had lost its supply line, a veritable lonely city, after all, the left army and the right army were not like the frost kingdom and the Heidi people who were at odds with each other.
The trebuchet and the siege shield bow launched a fierce attack on the walls of the Beihai fortress, and the small number of stones and trees near the garrison were collected, which made the role of the siege equipment much smaller, so that later the army of the Emerald Leader used the trebuchet to throw half-dried hard, which disgusted the Heidi people, did not do much damage, and was extremely insulting.
The last month passed under the harassment of the guerrilla mage corps of Gugar, and the time came for the next year.
The mobility of the Gugar legion on the horse has been greatly improved, and under the order of King Mansur of Heidi City, the five thousand elite mages selected can ride on horseback day and night to cast spells continuously, which has caused great trouble to the Margaret legion.
On the prairie of the North Sea, the magic cavalry came and went like a wind god dragon without seeing the end, and the legion chased and hid directly in Heidi City, regardless of the situation, and touched the tiger's ass all day long, making the tiger's tail tired.
As for why Lyster didn't send Thea or Yin Flynn to deal with the enemy on horseback, it wasn't that he couldn't, but because he didn't want to.
First, the fundamental reason why he created the Emerald Collar to become a lord is not to be a nanny, if any situation has to be solved by himself and the extraordinary power he masters, then the Emerald Collar will not have any growth, he built the Emerald Collar to be lazy, to enhance his strength, not to become a big injustice to protect the Emerald Collar.

The second is that the Heidi people have a hidden magic force, the number is unknown, the movement is unknown, this force is called the god-killing spear by the Heidi people themselves, according to the Heidi captives, it can pose a deadly threat to Misha, far inferior to Misha's popular dragon beast Xia is afraid that it will be directly hit or even killed, even if he rides Xia to shoot in person, Lyster himself will have the risk of a chrysanthemum pain, has come to this point, Lyster naturally will not take such a life and death risk in unnecessary circumstances.
Brainless recklessness in swinging a knife is not his style of acting.
To say that the most tired is still the black rose mage who defends against sneak attacks every day, perhaps because the dangers experienced are too frequent, and many military mages have broken through the limit of their own power reserves after exhaustion, and the defense magic is perfect, and they grow rapidly.
Even so, the situation of being in a passive defensive posture did not make the mages of the Black Rose much easier, because Gugal's guerrilla magic cavalry was also constantly improving on the battlefield, profoundly demonstrating the evolutionary law of using advance and retreat without cripple.
It was also because they were pinned down to be unable to use extra magic to resist the magical attacks of the defending soldiers in the siege battle, and because of the cold climate of the Northland, the Emerald Lord's legions never launched a full-scale attack, but only stalemate with the Heidi people on the savannah to find each other's flaws, and engaged in small-scale tragic encounters.
In February, the weather warmed up a little, and the two Night Blade Killers, who had been waiting in the North Sea fortress long before the war, and the Black Rose Mage, disguised as Heidi's mage, struggled to pass on an important piece of information through magic crystals under the noses of the Heidi probes, and when this information appeared in the ears of Lyster and Margaret, they knew that the time had come to break the city.
The cold wind from the northwest of Freljord still howls on the grassland, but there is also a warm breeze from the Sea of the Watcher.
After a long war of almost a year, although there have never been major casualties, the morale of the soldiers in the Emerald Territory is still a little low, and they have begun to miss the good times in the Emerald Territory, which is the inevitable result of non-native warfare, and it is also the delaying effect that the Heidi people want to see.
The surrounding villages have been emptied, and it has become unrealistic to forcibly requisition food.
Seeing that there was no shortage of food in the Beihai Fortress, Margaret, who was aware of the situation of the legion, decided to storm the Beihai Fortress as soon as possible, compress the Heidi people's activity space after taking the Beihai Fortress, seize Heidi City, and then redevelop the underground ruins of Atlanta according to Lyster's requirements.
With Lyist's consent, Margaret contacted the Alice Legion on the west side of the North Sea Fortress through the mage, and the time was set for March 4.
Before the Fourth of March, Emerald Leader will need to deal with one of the most threatening Heidi aces, the Spear of the Godslayer.
The initial source of information for the Godkiller Spear came from the Heidi captives in the Caryas anvil, and after many extorted confessions and tortures, Lyster and the others had a preliminary understanding of the [God-killing Spear], which the Heidi people were most proud of and feared.
The Spear of the Godslayer is an army of ace mages under the command of Heidi's lord Kyle Yasa, and it is said that this force of less than 1,000 men wields several powerful magical items unearthed from the ruins of Atlanta, powerful enough to threaten the angel Misha.
- At least in Heidi's opinion, the god-killing spear can threaten Misha, and as for how it threatens, most people can't say why,
Margaret and the others, including Misha, did not care, but Lyster was very cautious, stopped the women's carelessness, and told her general experience in the Gorrell Mountains, which made the women understand the seriousness of the matter, and completely cut off the idea of sending Misha to break the city.
Lyist has long understood how terrible the power of the Atlantans is through the last Atlantan 'Lily', and now it is unrealistic to deliberately go to the Gorrell Mountains to ask Lily about the information about the weapons of the Atlanta, not that Lily refuses to say, but Lily has left the Land of Runetera and gone to another unknown evil realm.
If the Godkiller Spear is indeed some kind of 'god-killer' weapon in the hands of the Atlantians, then a weapon that can destroy the body of a demigod will definitely cause fatal damage to the Emerald Leader and even to Lyster himself.
Knowing this, whether it is Lyster or Margaret, naturally they will not let Misha take any risk to forcibly break the city, and the news of the god-killing spear has been learned by the Night Edge assassins lurking in the North Sea fortress, and a targeted operation is slowly unfolding.
