"Everything else is fine, Misha and Sheena I have to go and see for myself, it seems that I don't have much time left, I need to complete the plan as soon as possible."

Putting away the magic scroll, Lyster hesitated for a moment and took Thea's hand.

"Do you want to stay for a few days?"

Shaking her head, Xia said softly with a soft face.

"Although I would love to be with you too, but now that Emerald needs me more, I have to send your decision back as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'm going to write a letter."

Thea waited in place for a while, and in less than five minutes, Lyist reappeared and handed the letter to Thea.

"Tell LeBlanc that I'll be back in three years."

"You'll have to treat me well next time I come."

After kissing and parting, Lyster watched Xia return to his dragon form and leave, and his anxious heart calmed down.

"Noxus, it must be in my hands."

……

In the western part of the Nokmoch Plains, north of the Shining Silver Mountains, an endless army of 10,000 people is stationed next to the Milky Way, black smoke rises from the tents, and the soldiers of the Fifth Legion of the Noxian Empire, the warlord Sein, who belongs to Fort Norscar, are burying their meals.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, a double-headed black iron giant axe weighing up to 100 catties and named [Black Cutter] was hung on the iron weapon rack.

The hideous dark red ox horn helmet was placed on the wooden table, like a demon descending from the world, with two black hole eyes, as if it was about to devour countless souls.

Dressed in the enchanted steel armor made of the Calyas anvil, Seon sat on a large stone pier, frowning and observing the magic sand table.

A dozen commanders stood in two rows, silently exchanging glances with each other,

Next to Sain sat the deputy legion commander Yager, who was also very solemn at the moment.

On the sand table that symbolizes the western part of the Nokmoch Plain, the small flags of the Demacian Legion are densely planted, trapping the Second and Third Noxians in the ancient city of Leinland.

Under the control of the accompanying mages, the markers on the sand table come to life, and the banners of the Second and Third Imperial Legions are surrounded by Demacians, like two plucked turkeys drowning in the blue sea.

Seeing that Sean was calm and did not speak, Jaeger, who was familiar with Sein's temperament, took the initiative to speak.

"It seems that this time the Demacians are really moving, with the Dreadnought Vanguard Corps as the vanguard army in the middle, the Dragon Bird Knights pressing the two wings, and the 30,000 Kingdom Army all the way to the ground, tearing apart the formation of the second and third legions by interspersing and dividing,

The two legions combined were close to 50,000 people, and in the end there were less than 3,000 people...... We were still a little late. ”

"We didn't come late, it took us two months to get here by force, we were fast enough, if I'm not mistaken, it took the Rythers Legion a full three and a half months to get from the Immortal Fortress to the Plain of Nokmoch."

Sein sneered.

"It's 50,000 pigs, and it will take a few months for the Demacians to catch them all, but these wastes don't know how to stick to the help, and they dare to take the initiative to go out of the city and attack at night under the disadvantage, which is exactly the trick of the Demacian people.

The empire is now full of rubbish leading the army, and the face of the Resus family has been disgraced by Marz! If Vakur knew that his descendants were such a waste, I am afraid that he would not have cracked this useless descendant with a knife. ”

"That being said, after the big defeat, I'm afraid the Rythers and Sarapam Legions won't be able to hold out for long."

Finally reined in some of his anger, Sean looked at his little friend and best friend with a slower face, the huge Thorn army, only such a friend and subordinate were most in line with his heart.

From the day they went to join the army on the Conqueror's Square, the fate of Sean and Yeager changed completely,

With the help of Burnham, the Imperial Commander, one of the things that Sain did when he was released from prison was to recruit Jaeger, who had to go home and stand by, into his army, and the two began a 27-year journey into the army.

From a beggar army of less than fifteen people to an imperial legion of 13,000 people, from the guerrillas who fought to the death against the barbarians on the Darmo Plains, to the iron army of the iron army that fought the battlefield of thousands of miles with the elite army of the Kingdom of Demacia,

Only Sain knows what Yeager and himself have paid for this day,

Although Jaeger does not have his force, he has enough resourcefulness, and he can get to this point today without Jaeger's support and help.

In a trance, Sain suddenly discovered that whether it was himself or Jaeger, he had unconsciously changed from a young boy to a bearded man covered in wounds, he was guarding Jaeger, and Jaeger was also guarding him in his own way.

Thinking of this, Sein's gaze calmed down a lot.

"Yeyer, tell me what you think."

Not knowing that Sein had thought a lot about the past in a moment, Yeager said in a deep voice.

"If I were to command the army of the Kingdom of Demacia, I would choose to set up a suspicious formation, but only keep 10,000 Kingdom troops, and cooperate with a small group of dragon knights to continue to besiege the Noxian defenders of Leinland,

Because of the great defeat just suffered, the Noxian army was unstable and would definitely not act rashly, and the 10,000 army created a posture of 30,000 people was enough to make the Noxian army afraid and give up the idea of breaking through.

Then it is to mobilize the remaining Dreadnought Vanguard and Kingdom Army to block the reinforcements of Noxus, which is likely to be an ambush, and it is also likely to be a small-scale dragon and bird attack,

After determining the number of enemies, the best result is to wait for work, fight more and fight less, and wipe out all the Noxian legions that come to help, and the worst result is to drag the reinforcements until Leinland breaks through and eats the meat of the mouth. ”

"Yes, so from our point of view, how to break the game?"

Smiling coldly at Sain, Yeager pointed to the Demacia Salient battle flag on the sand table.

"Our initial military purpose was to rescue the besieged Second and Third Legions, and if we only thought about going to the rescue, no matter how we fought this battle, we would only be in a passive state, because the Demacians knew what we would do, and they could put countless obstacles in our path."

"You mean?"

"That's right, instead of being led by the nose by the Demacians, let's find another way and use the method of encircling Wei to save Zhao (there is no relevant idiom in Runeterra, it is written here to help everyone understand the meaning, don't delve into it)."

"How do you encircle Wei and save Zhao?"

Pointing his index finger on the north side of the line between Greentooth Peak and Eternal Peak, Yeager said coldly.

"The enemy has drawn most of his forces in order to annihilate the Second and Third Army Corps of the Empire, and now is the time for the city's air defense.

Instead of continuing to move westward, it is better to turn north and storm the old gate!

At that time, we can break through the [Immortal Defense] that the Demacians are most proud of, stomp on the Demacian people's faces, and use their city defenses to kill and wound their soldiers!

I believe that the proud elders of Demacia are more afraid of becoming the first soldier in Demacia's history to lose the immortal line than to encircle and annihilate the two Noxian Empire legions, and even if their commander is unwilling to give up the siege of the Imperial legions, their emperor will not allow Demacia's territory to be invaded.

As long as we take the old gate, the Demacians have no choice but to give up the siege of Leinland and make every effort to retake the old gate, and then we will evacuate the old gate, and the siege of Leinland will be relieved. ”

"Good strategy! That's it! ”

"But, but, General Thane, isn't it good that we have been ordered to rescue the Rythers and Sarapam Legions?"

Sein looked coldly at the commander under his command who gave advice,

These bastards, loyal to the nobles of the Empire, had a good military education, but when it came to battle, they were rigid and dogmatic, and they did not know how to be flexible at all.

"Soldier, obey orders, and I will lead you to victory."

"Yes."

The order was given, and the military order was like a mountain.

After a day's rest, the Noxian Fifth Regiment turned north and disappeared into the plains.

Fifteen days later.

Three kilometers outside the city of the King of Leinland, the army of the Kingdom of Demacia, which was well-equipped and full of morale, surrounded the entire city with three layers and three layers outside.

Every once in a while, a dozen catapults and mechanical ballistas roared terribly, firing deadly ammunition into the towering walls that had already crumbled and crushed the demoralized Noxian soldiers.

Inside the largest white tent, Generalissimo Chris Crownguard, who commanded the army of the Kingdom of Demacia, received the last thing he wanted.

"You're saying that a dragon knight detected the Cyan Legion, and instead of coming here, the enemy marched north?"

"Returning to the Generalissimo, that's exactly what happened."

Chris naturally didn't suspect that the elite scouts belonging to the Dragonbird Knights would deceive him, but he would rather be the scout in front of him at this moment.

Chris's face was a little serious.

"How many people are coming to Noxus this time?"

"The enemy mage killed three of our scout riders, the exact number is uncertain, but there are at least fifteen thousand or so."

Pacing and pondering for a moment, Chris waved the scout away.

"Keep scouting this Noxian legion, and report back as soon as there is any new information!"

"Yes!"

After the scouts left, Chris's staff spoke slowly.

"Marshal Chris, it seems that this Cyne Legion is not the same as the other Noxian Legions."

Taking a sip of hot green tea, a somewhat tired Chris pinched his eyebrows.

"It's different, the order given to them by the Supreme Command of the Empire is to rescue, but they directly abandoned their goal and went towards the old gate, which is really ruthless,

I'm not afraid of the brave Noxians, for even the most brave soldiers will have stupid generals push them into the fire pit.

I'm afraid of players who don't play by the rules, who scoff at the rules on the board and are single-minded in achieving their own ends, and will do whatever it takes to do so.

The most troublesome thing is that they can not follow the rules, but I can't. ”

Taking in Chris's sharp gaze, the staff asked softly with his eyes slightly drooping.

"So what's going on next?"

Putting down the teacup, Chris said calmly.

"Before Your Majesty gives me the order, smash the turtle shell completely."

"However, Your Majesty knows that the old man has missed, and I am afraid that he will be furious."

"As long as these two Noxian legions can be annihilated, Demacia will have no worries for a hundred years, and even if Your Majesty removes me, I will be responsible for the future of the kingdom!"

……

The royal city of Leinland has been fortified over the centuries and incorporated special building materials developed by the Emerald Collar to become a veritable fortress of war.

The outer city was built into three sections of walls, one higher than the other, and the highest inner wall of the outer city was 23 meters high.

A number of arrow towers and towers were built at the corners of the city walls, and each corner was a corner of the other, so that the archers could shoot deadly arrows from behind the battlements, and there were complex military corridors near each gatehouse and within the city walls.

The upper gap in the gatehouse can be poured with burning gold juice and fire oil, allowing the attackers below the gatehouse to take a warm hot bath.

The spear can be pierced and pulled out through the holes in the tunnel, so that the passing enemy can only face the hundreds of bullet holes that cannot see any enemy, and watch themselves be stabbed into blood gourds by the spears that suddenly stab, and the most troublesome thing is that the dead bodies will pile up in the narrow corridor, making it more difficult for latecomers to pass through.

The inner city was a veritable high fortress, with wide moats and drawbridges blocking all directions of attack, and the inner terrain was more complex enough to house an army of 10,000 men.

Even if it was so easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Noxians who were trapped in the royal city of Leinland at the moment could not help but be a little desperate.

In a hasty night attack, the 50,000-strong army lost most of its half, and even the most confident Noxian soldiers could not stay at their posts calmly at the moment, especially at dawn before the storm.

"General Marz! General Led! The Demacians are on the storm! Too much! There are too many of them! ”

With his left arm broken, the commander retreated from the high wall and made his way to the main fort, waking up the two Noxian generals who were resting with their eyes closed.

Bloodshot Marz Resers and Led Sarapam looked at each other, rose from their stools, drew their gap-filled Noxian knives, and trotted with the Centurion to the third outer tower.

As soon as the day dawned, the siege equipment that had been roaring for more than two months had completely stopped, and dense Demacians poured in from all directions, their indigo helmets fluttering like an ocean with the morning wind.

Marz's face was a little ugly, and Led said coldly.

"It looks like these Demacian mad dogs are really going to fight us to the death."

"It's possible that our reinforcements are coming, otherwise the Demacians will not launch a strong attack, as long as they hold this time, the Demacians will retreat."

"You're right, so we have to hold on, at all costs."

Apologetically patting Led's arm, Marz said softly.

"Led, this time I've caused you a problem, if the outer wall can't be defended, you can take your legion into the inner fort, and I will drag the Demacians back."

Glancing at Marz with a complicated expression, Led knew that this was Marz's last pride.

"Okay."
