Dead corpses were everywhere, and death enveloped the world, and the night passed, and the dreadnought vanguard of Demacia found nothing but a nose of ashes.

Before dawn, the five returned to their temporary base, and after replenishing their lost energy by eating, they began to discuss the information they had received.

Leach was the first to talk about what he and Carl had seen.

"With all due respect, Noxians are animals! I had fantasies about Emerald Collars because of all the good rumors about Emerald Collar, but I was wrong, Emerald Collars were just a bunch of barbarians who occupied the fertile soil of the Nokmoch Plains, not even as good as the barbarians of Freljord.

Captain of the sword, the Noxians have been abusing the Leinlands from beginning to end, and I even saw the corpse of a child who had become a cold corpse in Demacia, where children of his age were still enjoying a happy childhood. ”

"This is war, and this is what we are fighting for, Leach, and never have illusions about your enemies."

"I've understood my mistakes, and I'll never make the same mistakes again."

Drawing out the pen and paper, Leach, who had a good memory, began to draw a sketchy map that would be gradually refined and the next place that might be chosen as a stronghold.

"Our current location is probably here, this is a residential area outside the city, there is very little valuable information, Carl and I have not encountered any living people along the way, and the supplies have been looted at the cost,

Both the Noxians and the Leinlands had evacuated the devastated place, and according to the rutted marks Karl observed, a large number of them had withdrawn to the inner city of Leinland.

Captain Swords, are we heading to the inner city for an operation? ”

"Inner City...... If necessary.

Leach, you and Carl continue to expand our search tonight, and it's better to find some of the survivors of the Leinland, I don't believe there really are no living people here. ”

The rotation of rest was arranged, and the day passed quickly, and night fell, and no one, including the sword captain Blofield, noticed that the face of the young shield guard, who had the easiest job, turned a little pale.

The heavy trapdoor of the cellar was gently closed, and with the sound of the weight rubbing, the other four had already left, and in the darkness where they could not see their fingers, Gallup, who had begun to break out in a cold sweat on his forehead, took a deep breath and drew the Mithril Double-Bladed Dagger.

"Tada~Tada~"

In the dead silence, the faint sound of footsteps came from above the cellar.

"Tada~Tada~Dongdong~Dongdong~"

Sweat was dripping on the ground, and Gallup was sure that the owner of the footsteps had come to the trapdoor of the cellar and slammed it lightly.

He wanted to ask aloud who the person was, why he didn't say a word and just hit the obstacle blocking the trapdoor with his body, but the little reason he had left told him that it was better not to make any sound, and not to make any movements, the warrior of the first shield of the dreadnought vanguard was finally defeated by fear, and the man could only shrink and hide in the corner, only the cold Mithril dagger in his hand could give him some comfort.

He pinned his hopes on the strange movement to knock for a while like last night and leave as soon as possible, but it backfired, tonight's strange movement was extremely persistent, and he always used a certain rhythm to collide with the planks with his body parts, as if he knew that there was someone under the cellar, and refused to leave.

It seems that only a few minutes have passed, and it seems that more than ten years have passed, and he has long been forgotten by his companions and even the whole world.

Gallup, whose nerves were on the verge of breaking, could no longer bear the sound of the collision in the dead silence, he only felt that the darkness around him seemed to be about to swallow him, and even if he closed his eyes, he would see with his own eyes that something terrible was watching him and approaching him.

The man shuddered and thrust the Mithril dagger back into its sheath, and took out the carton in the bag in the dark.

"Clusters ......"

The light brought by the match dispelled the terrible darkness, and Gallup, who chose to keep the light, lit the candle with all his strength, in his opinion, no matter whether the person who knocked on the light was a human or a ghost, there would always be some changes after seeing the light, it was better than being tortured to death by doing nothing.

As the light of the candle illuminated the space, Gallup felt a little more secure and found that the banging sound above his head had disappeared, as if it had never existed.

The unexpected change gave Gallup some more confidence in the face of darkness and the unknown, but this confidence did not last long before the familiar and unfamiliar voice of the sword captain came from overhead.

"Sure enough, you're down there."

A cold air rushed from his heels to the Heavenly Spirit Gai, and Gallup, whose scalp exploded, couldn't have imagined that it was the Sword Captain who had been knocking and scaring him outside to collect information, but after thinking about it, Gallup found that this possibility was very small, but if it wasn't for the Sword Captain, who was the 'person' who spoke in the voice of the Sword Captain?

With his mouth open, Gallup didn't speak, just holding the candle and curling in the corner.

"The Noxians, the Leinlanders, the Demacians, all are dead, all dead, and you are sent, come out, come out, come out, come out......

Come out, don't want to come out. ”

The Captain's voice began to sharpen like a punctured balloon, and then Gallup heard the sound of the trapdoor rubbing against him, the same sound he knew all too well, the same sound the last time Captain Blofeld and Tina removed the solid wooden bed.

Unable to bear it any longer, seeing that his last safe space was about to be invaded by an unknown being, Gallup gritted his teeth and asked in a deep voice.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Found you."

There was a moment of silence.

"Hoo ......"

An eerie cool air blew out the candles, and the cellar fell silent.

Before dawn, Blofield took Tina back to the makeshift base, looking at the wooden bed that had not been touched by Leach and the others, and Brofield beckoned Tina to move with him.

Just about to open the wooden door, but the wooden door was pushed open from below, the startled Blofield frowned and took a half step back, Gallup, who was stepping on the wooden ladder, smiled a little stiffly, glanced at Tina, and retracted his head back into the cellar without saying a word.

"What is he doing?"

"I don't know."

Returning to the cellar, Blofield saw a patch of burnt candles and matchsticks, and couldn't help but wonder a little.

"Gallup, why are you lighting so many candles? What happened last night? ”

"It's nothing, I just clicked on it, and I didn't sleep well in the morning."

Gallup shook his head, looking fine except for a little pale, and Blofield couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Alright, today we will transfer our stronghold, let's prepare, we must infiltrate the city before the Noxians completely defeat the Leonlands, so that our identity will not arouse the suspicion of the Noxians."

……

The dragon bird knight crossed the sky and flew towards the high castle of the inner city of Leinland, but the impact alchemy explosives that fell from the sky were blocked by the white magic light that suddenly turned into a physical store, and the expanding fire could not break through the thin light curtain at all, but there were many quenched bows mixed with the magic brilliance that shot the dragon bird knight from the sky.

After a shrill whistle, the Dragonbird Knights, who had lost a third of their ranks, began to retreat in an orderly manner.

On the ground, the dragon lizard knight who was like a heavy tank was also blocked by the magic shield, and people from the outside world could not pass through the light curtain, but the Leinland soldiers in the light curtain could shoot arrows without fear and release magic, causing heavy casualties to the dragon lizard knight.

For seven days, the Emerald Leader's legion had been besieging the last castle, but the castle's magical defense was unusually durable, but many Emerald Lord's soldiers began to hallucinate and could only be temporarily disarmed and imprisoned.

"Mage Memi, you also said that there are two domed towers in the inner city, and the core of the enemy's defense circle is on the two domed towers, and we must find a way to break through the magic shield so that our soldiers can enter the inner fortress and defeat the Leinlands once and for all."

Milton tapped at the U-shaped castle on the military map, while the diminutive Mage Memi stood on a small bench staring at the improvised map with a gloomy expression.

"These two round forts are at each other's throats, the Leinland mages and poison arrow archers can easily attack us through the magic shield, we are too passive now, Mage Memi, the soldiers need more spell support, I wonder when the black lightning will break through that damn defensive circle?"

"Their magic is not quite what I know it to do, and it will take us more time to crack it."

There was silence for a long time before Master Memi gave his answer, but it was not satisfactory to Milton.

"Is there really no other way?"

“…… If you can't wait, you can try to storm it. ”

Milton's eyes lit up, of course he wanted to break through Leinland as soon as possible, because only then would the Emerald Territory have enough time to build a defensive structure to confront Demacia.

"What kind of assault method? Are our casualties large? ”

Mage Memi shook his head.

"I will let the mages continue to bombard spells to consume the energy of the defensive circle, and the defensive circle of the Leinlanders will not be able to maintain it indefinitely no matter how long it lasts, but in this case, I am afraid that the black lightning will not be able to continue to participate in the battle after the circle is broken."

"It's okay, you just need to break the defensive circle, whether it's an evil weapon or a totem, and we'll take care of the rest."

Nodding heavily, Mage Memi jumped down from his stool.

"I'll arrange it."

Instead of an aggressive attack, the legion retreated a distance of five hundred meters, leaving enough room for the one hundred and twenty-four Black Lightning Mages standing in a semi-arc to cast spells, and also allowing the Black Lightning Mages to be completely out of the range of Leinland's archers and spell attacks.

Mage Meimi was in the center of the formation and took out a tetrahedral amethyst from the magic container,

This amethyst is the [Eternal Catalyst Fossil] that Lyster obtained from the Heidi people in the Battle of the North Sea, and it is also the charging core node of the Heidi people's high-level spell [Godkiller Spear] that injured Misha.

Lyster, who got the Eternal Catalyst Fossil, didn't need magic equipment to strengthen himself, so he naturally didn't take this magic equipment with him, but left it to the Jade Collar through Thea.

This time, in order to complete the strategic deployment of the Emerald Territory as soon as possible, Hina took out the Eternal Catalyst Stone and handed it to the unidentified Meimi.

The two flat planes of the amethyst are engraved with different ancient magic runes, the left hand holds the Eternal Catalyst Stone, and Meimi's right hand holds the obsidian crystal staff, as the elements begin to flow, the magic stored in the Catalyst Stone uses the obsidian crystal staff as the core node, turning into a large mana net connected to one hundred and twenty-four small nodes, and the dark purple mana net protects the rest of the black lightning mages.

Under the encouragement of the Eternal Catalysis Stone, all the Black Lightning Mages have sufficient mana elements, and they don't have to worry about the super-distance magic strike of Master Leinland, any elemental magic will become the casting energy of all mages under the transformation of the Eternal Catalysis Fossil.

Seeing that his one hundred and twenty-four attacking rune arrays were about to take shape, Milton, who was riding a war horse, narrowed his eyes and looked at the alien-style castle like a turtle shell.

In the next second, the attack magic that covered the sky and the sun turned into a violent elemental torrent and rushed towards the magic shield six hundred meters away, drowning everything in sight.

After the formation, Milton raised his voice and looked awe-inspiring.

"Wait for my orders! When the magic shield is broken, follow me into the enemy line! Prioritize finding the enemy's totemic artifact and leave no prisoners until you're sure to destroy it! ”

"Yes!"

……

In the castle of the king of Leinland, the king of Leinland, Kino Puran, was sitting on the trembling throne with his eyes closed and resting, and thirteen voodoo shamans and fog god sacrifices knelt in the small council hall, as if they were not affected by the outside world, and the council hall was filled with an eerie dead silence.

A gray wooden statue was located behind the throne, the eyes of the statue were like a fish, the nose was like a deer, the ears were like an elephant, the body was like a leopard, and the limbs were like an octopus in the sea.

"My priests, tell me, how long will this castle last? (Leinland)"

The obscure foreign language echoed through the council chamber, and King Keno opened his bloodshot eyes, and no one dared to look him in the eyes, just as the king did not dare to look into the eyes of the god of fog.

"Back to my king, the castle is about to be destroyed, and the god of fog has lost his influence on the Noxians since they began to slaughter the people of Leinland indiscriminately."

The person who spoke was Tiram, the favorite priest of the god of fog, and at this moment, the swarthy priest also had a pair of bloodshot protruding eyes, which looked somewhat similar to the eyes of the statue of the god of fog.

"Tell me, Tiram, why would the Noxians attack us without warning?"

King Kino asked again, and the priest bowed his head.

"Returning to my king, the great god of fog tells me that the Noxians have seen their future."

Kino's wide, bulging eyes stared at the frantic sacrifice.

"What future?"

"A future that is lost forever! My king, the price is for our lives, and the gates of the land will be opened from here. ”
