The mountain city on the first line of Green Tooth Peak - Eternal Peak, with special forbidden stone bricks as the main building materials, starts from the peak of the Urus Mountains in the north, reaches the gate of sorrow in the Shining Silver Mountains in the south, and has three steel gates from south to north, five arrow towers and high forts, which are more than 80,000 miles longitudinally.

For the Demacian people, the mountain fortress east of the Green Tooth Peak-Eternal Peak is the most impregnable military defense line in the entire Demacia, since the founding of Demacia, the immortal defense line has never been broken by the invasion of foreign enemies, and the flying Demacian indigo flag is the proudest military symbol of the Demacian people, once it rises, it will never fall.

The first experience of every Demacian soldier in his military career is to step on the walls of the immortal defense line, and watch Demacia's star-like Milky Way rush through the steel gate dam and go straight to the endless Nokmoch Plain to the east, and flow to the territory of Demacia's old enemy, the Noxian Empire [Emerald Territory].

Every Demacian knows that from the very beginning, the Greentooth-Eternity defensive line was to guard against the warlike neighbors to the east.

Every Demacian soldier also knew that one day this section of the Great Wall would become a glorious place for Demacia to stop the enemy, but no one would have imagined that when the army of the Kingdom of Demacia was about to annihilate the two imperial legions and achieve a great victory, there would be a mad general with all eyes and a group of bloodthirsty and violent butchers desperately charging the immortal defense line.

On the old gatekeeper mountain fort, the corpses of Noxians lie under the mountain wall of more than 100 meters, and the corpses are piled up two meters high, exuding a burst of meat fragrance under the burning of fire oil.

In the midst of the flames, countless Noxians still stepped over the burning corpses and climbed towards the siege ladder, like soul-devouring hellish demons.

Never before had they seen such a desperate fight, the already numerically inferior Demacian soldiers began to retreat, they were not afraid of sacrifice, but they were afraid that they would die in the demon's charge for no apparent reason.

"Those who retreat are killed!

！ Hold the line with me!

！ ”

Croft, the old gatekeeper, drew his blood-stained Demacian steel sword and kicked the hideous Noxian soldier off the wall, screaming hoarsely.

"General! We can't hold it anymore!

！ If we keep going, we'll all die here!

！ ”

"Zekariya! Are you going to be a coward who escapes!

！ Are you going to shame your mom and dad!

！ ”

As soon as the angry-eyed Croft finished speaking, he saw Zekaria, who had just spoken, with a look of fear, and his head was cut off with an axe.

The dark red blood that spurted high sprinkled on the heavy armor that had been completely dyed red, the human head rolled down, and the moment the headless corpse fell, the expressionless horn helmet deflected slightly, and looked down at himself silently with a hollow and indifferent gaze.

He couldn't see the face of the enemy, he couldn't see the emotions of the enemy, he couldn't feel anything but the silent killing intent.

I really want to give in, I really want to live, if I continue to resist, I will definitely be killed easily......

Facing the icy gaze of the owner of the horned helmet, Croft finally sensed a tremor from the depths of his soul, and the general of Demacia couldn't help but take a step back.

He was not a coward, but he could not contain the feelings of fear and fear in his body, and this contradictory feeling made him almost collapse.

It's as if he is destined to be a coward in front of this enemy.

"Who are you?

”

Croft responded to the sound of heavy footsteps in the Iron Boots of the Shin Armor, and the Imperial General's boots stepped on the fingers of the Demacian soldiers, and when he raised his right foot again, the five fingers of the Demacian soldiers had been crushed into flesh and flesh with bones.

The two-headed giant axe was dragged behind him with one hand, and there were many deep marks on the hard forbidden magic stone wall bricks, as if it had entered a no-man's land like its owner.

"Winter, winter, winter."

The footsteps of the Imperial generals continued.

"Protect General Croft!

！ Kill!

！ ”

"Monsters of Noxus! Go to hell!

”

The three Demacian soldiers stabbed out the iron spears in their hands at the same time, and accurately hit the neck armor and back of the chest of the imperial general.

The tip of the fine iron spear that could pierce the iron plate was only a few shallow white dots on the blood-red iron sheet, and the Imperial General's footsteps finally stopped, and he turned his head to look at the Demacian soldiers besieging him.

The Demacian soldier who was glancing at him instantly felt the heavy pressure and was about to withdraw his spear and attack again.

In the next second, the Imperial General's gauntlets twisted, his five fingers clenched, and a heavy sound of gold and iron sounded.

The claw-like sharp knuckles clasped the fine carving of the axe handle, and the person and the giant axe fit perfectly, and then the body began to twist, pulling the heavy axe body with great force, and the originally heavy axe blade instantly broke off the ground, making a shocking sound of breaking the sky.

"Whew!"

Like a raging hurricane whistling by,

The giant axe turned into a deadly semicircular arc of blood, the blade slicing through everything in its path, tearing through all obstacles.

"Sonorous."

With the iron guns in their hands, three Demacian soldiers wearing fine chain mail were stopped and cut off by the imperial general, and the three soldiers watched their lower bodies separate from themselves without blinking, which also stopped the other Demacian soldiers who wanted to step forward.

At this moment, all the Demacian soldiers who witnessed this scene deeply understood that they were definitely no match for the barbarian butcher.

Witnessing his own men being killed in an instant, Croft, who was chilling on his back, took a step back again, and his unwavering hands finally began to tremble.

Within sight, the defense line of their own organization had completely collapsed, their compatriots were killed in an orderly manner by the Noxians, even surrender was useless, and the barbarians were not prepared to leave any prisoners in the first place.

The main force of the kingdom was involved in the siege and annihilation in the south, and he knew from the beginning that there would be no reinforcements here, but he could not predict that even with the advantage of the mountain fortress, he would not be able to stop the Noxians for a moment.

Not even a day.

He became the general of the defeated army, and stubbornly buried all his compatriots and soldiers who trusted him.

Two thousand people, and then they were gone.

Lose the key mountain fort of the Old Gate, and the defense line of Greentooth Peak-Eternal Peak will be opened, and the people of Demacia will be slaughtered.

"General!

！ Let's go!

I dragged him down!

”

"Help me take care of my ......"

"Poof."

The words came to an abrupt halt, two heads were cut off by axe blades, and a soldier was split in two by a giant axe that had been erected and split in half from his head.

His body was already covered with fragments of human organs, and the bloody demon was still slowly approaching him, killing all obstacles in his path.

Croft took one last look at Demacia's indigo flag, clenched his steel sword in both hands, and launched the last charge of his life.

"Demacia!

！

”

"Poof."

Hand up axe.

The head rolled to the side, and the steel longsword broke in two from the middle of the sword crest, leaning against the headless corpse of its master.

Like the other Demacian soldiers, the generals of Demacia were no different.

The indigo flag was choked off by the iron hand, and the flagpole and flag fell in a pool of blood and were trampled under the feet of the iron boots.

The old door, fallen.

……

In Demacia, outside the council chamber outside the palace, a fast horse foaming at the mouth fell to the ground and swallowed its last breath, but the owner of the fast horse did not have a chance to look at the old man for the last time.

After receiving the urgent secret letter, Dulles Gavin glanced at it, and slapped the battle report on the luxurious mahogany table with a grim face.

The solid wood table was broken in two in the middle, and the crystal tea set and silver dinner plate on the wooden table were dropped.

When Govin I was angry, the staff and ministers of the kingdom in the council chamber bowed their heads so as not to provoke the king's anger.

"Demacia has been a nation for more than 900 years, and the kingdom has had countless loyal and brave soldiers to defend the country, and we have never suffered such humiliation from ancient times to the present day!

One day! Only one day! The kingdom lost the old gate and the Green Tooth Pass, and within a week, the Noxian legions that broke through the pass slaughtered five of our villages, and all 30,000 Demacians were killed! Those bandits are still wreaking havoc in our kingdom's territory, and there is no grass everywhere they pass!

The enemy is coming to the hinterland, what is my generalissimo Chris doing!

！ Yes!?? Are you still drinking with the group of Noxian waste players who are trapped in the lonely city!? ”

The silent kingdom staff stared intently at the tips of their shoes, as if they were embroidered with some beautiful pattern.

The messenger who delivered the letter fell to his knees on the ground, buried his head in his head, and did not dare to say a word.

"A bunch of rubbish!

！ ”

It took a while for Gavin I to suppress the anger in his heart with difficulty.

That being said, he also knew that Chris was actually right, and the loss of giving up the annihilation of the Noxus Legion at the first foot was even greater, and it was too late to return reinforcements, and Leinland's enemies would have to run away, and the bamboo basket would be empty.

It's just that the correct result does not mean that the process is correct, and the result of allowing the enemy to enter the territory of the kingdom is enough to remove the marshal of the kingdom, no matter how great his merits are.

The staff who are good at figuring out the divine will make the right suggestion, so that the king after the rage has a step down.

"Your Majesty, although Generalissimo Chris has made a heinous mistake, it is taboo to change generals before the battle, and the battle situation in Leinland is not yet a foregone conclusion, please think twice."

With someone to speak, other staff members and aristocratic ministers also began to help, and some people even came up with the idea of letting Chris lead the army to make up for their mistakes and besiege the invaders, but none of the aristocratic courtiers took the initiative to lead their family soldiers and private troops to resist the enemy.

What is public and what is private, these fat-headed and big-eared courtiers know much better than him.

Looking coldly at the bureaucrats of the kingdom under his throne, Gavin I suddenly remembered what his father, King Rad, said to him when he was a child.

[Only when you sit on the throne will you understand that most of the courtiers who help you manage the kingdom under the seat will not think about the life or death of the people, they will only maintain your rule because you can preserve their family and let them continue to be prosperous and rich]

Even with his own name, the great King Dulles could only rely on himself when his country was in danger.

"Enough! Hawthorne, from now on, you are a conscription officer for the kingdom, and I give you the right to act cheaply,

In a week's time, you will have to recruit young and middle-aged citizens of Demacia throughout the country to form a new army, and in a week, I will be on the march myself! Exterminate these Noxian rats with your own hands! ”

The private soldiers of the nobles are also considered citizens of Demacia, which is equivalent to taking benefits from the hands of the great nobles of Demacia in disguise, and in ordinary times, there will definitely be many ministers who oppose it, but the matter is urgent, and the noble ministers present are not good at saying anything, so they can only swallow this breath silently.

His Majesty the Emperor of Demacia has gone to the battlefield, and it is a problem to recruit a few noble private armies.

The four words of the royal drive are enough to block the mouths of all the nobles and convince everyone.

"Minister, obey the order."

……

Outside Leinland, Chris frowned and put down the news from the palace.

The good news is that Gawain I did not let him lead his army back to help, and the bad news is that Gawain I did not say anything to him, but re-recruited the army in the country and prepared to march in person.

Compared to this result, he preferred that Gavin I write him a letter and remove him from office.

"I'm afraid that after this battle, I should go home to recuperate."

Behind Chris, the members of the staff group looked at each other, a little worried, after all, they and Chris are both prosperous and loss-based, Chris is not reused, the crown guard family will be left out in the cold, and they will not have a bright future.

"Your Majesty's decision this time is indeed something to think about, in the history of Demacia, there are not many kings who have been personally conquered, but all of them are extremely ambitious heroes,

In particular, the deeds of King Dulles are a magnificent legend in the history of Demacia......

Lord Chris, with all due respect, this Leinland City is like the hardest bone to gnaw, every bite is a tooth, but it is still thankless,

After a long time of attack, our soldiers already have a very serious war-weariness, on the other hand, the Noxus side has the momentum of mourning soldiers.

If we continue to fight and lose more soldiers, I am afraid that we will not only fail but have a fault. ”

Chris sighed, he didn't know this truth, but as the Supreme Commander, he didn't have any choice from the beginning.

From the moment the Cyne Regiment ignored the orders of the High Command and went north, whether he chose to return to the old gate or continue to besiege Leinland, it became the wrong choice.

According to the combat effectiveness of the Thane Legion, even if he led his troops back in time, it would be too late to prevent Thain from breaking through the old gate.

At that time, Sein would not go deep into the border of Demacia, just turn around and leave, but he had to risk the successful breakthrough of the Leinland defenders, you know, the second support army, the first army of the empire under Burnham, has been holding back the troops on the periphery.

If there are too few troops to return to reinforcements, and if there are too many troops, the situation in Leinland will directly fall into a state of deterioration, and it is not impossible to be counter-surrounded by the Noxians.

"Marshal?"

"Let the dreadnought go, at least let Your Majesty know that I have never forgotten the people of Demacia."
