Chapter837 The Storm's Spine Raid
The Tiesha Mountains are bordered by the Dalmo Plain in the east and the Freljord tundra in the west, and the mountains extend from the southwest inland to the northeast sea, which is the natural boundary between Freljord and the northern border of the southern continent.
The steep ridge of the mountain range, with a maximum elevation of 4,483 meters, and the steep ridge line that stopped the northwestern monsoon from attempting southward and the bitter cold of Freljord at the northern foot of the mountain range, was the fundamental reason for the formation of good pastures in the Dalmore Plains.
The highest place in the Iron Brake Mountains is called the [Cold Wind Crest] by the Noxian Empire, and the [Tieling Pass] that intersects with the northern foot of the Uros Mountains to the south over the Cold Wind Crest is the Iron Ridge Pass.
Tieling Pass is sandwiched between the mountain passes of two majestic peaks, less than 100 meters of Chengguan is all made of non-frozen limestone, the narrowest part of the Chengguan plank road is only more than ten meters, it is a real dangerous place, and it is also the shortest way to enter and exit the Freljord tundra in the Dalmo Plain.
When Nur City was not yet out of the control of Noxus, Tieling Pass didn't know how much trade tax it had taken advantage of, and the tax alone made Nur City eat with a mouth full of oil.
Now that Tieling Pass and Nuer City are out of control together, it is not easy for Noxus to take back Tieling Pass, not to mention that most of the area of Tieling Pass is hidden in the starscreen, and he has no clue how to crack the starscreen.
After preliminary reconnaissance, the only location that can radiate to the Star Curtain Enchantment in the east of Tieling Pass and Nur City is the Cold Wind Crest, which is also a strategic place that can suppress the ancient city of Meladia, as long as it is used properly, the Empire's Magic Guide Heavy Cannon and Ice Dragon Cannon are enough to suppress the Calis Demon Legion at an ultra-long distance, and the enemy who shoots can't raise their heads.
How to attack the cold wind crest with a steep terrain and put the cannon on the head of Nur City became the most troublesome thing for the Eighth Legion of the Empire.
On the top of the mountains, facing the damp wind and snow, a special operations team belonging to the Eighth Army of the Empire is using special equipment to climb westward on the ice wall that is almost 90 degrees vertical, and below is an ice cliff with a drop of several hundred meters.
The ice-breaking nail boots and the ice axe in their hands are chiseled on the ice wall in turn, the metal fangs are torn under the ice, holding up the body weighing 100 catties, and 12 people are in pairs.
[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading
, the Kalis Demon will be able to complete the reincarnation.
Directly dumped the three corpses under the cliff, and the team that had cleaned the smell of blood with magic continued to move forward, killing the dark sentinels and patrols along the way without danger, and the eight people finally touched the totem outpost of the Calis Demon and found a relatively hidden place to lurk.
"Gua Shuo Woo~"
"Gua Shuo Woo~"
The fact that they continued to murmur the call of the Snow Eagle at agreed intervals and waited until dark without receiving any response meant that no one but them had managed to reach the outpost.
"It seems that we are the only ones who have made it here, we can't wait any longer, we have to act tonight."
The squad leader's face was very serious, even if they had lost four people on the "safe road", he couldn't imagine what kind of danger the other teams encountered.
But no matter how dangerous it is, he has to complete the task.
"It's just the eight of us, can we do it? There must be a lot of Calis guarding the totem in the outpost...... Hey, don't look at me like that, I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of death so I won't come here to fight, I'm afraid of startling the snake and delaying the army's attack plan, in case this group of cannibalistic monsters has a sense of vigilance, it won't be so easy to touch it next time."
"Find the totem, kill it directly while it's dark, blow up the totem directly with the magic bomb, and escape from the cliff with the glider device, there's only so much we need to do, is there any doubt?"
Under the oppressive gaze of the squad leader, the male squad member with an inch of hair shook his head.
"Very good plan, I'm okay with that."
"Very good, raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while, now is the time to repay the cultivation of the empire,
Ladies and gentlemen, this attack plan must only succeed and not fail, even if we all die here, we must complete the mission, the military headquarters sent us experimental rifles not for us to use as toys, since we have been selected as special operations soldiers, show me your sharpest fangs!"
"Captain Tyrone, I heard that you are Lieutenant General Durkkao's favorite young military attaché, why did you come to participate in such a dangerous mission? You have a better future?"
The one who spoke was a young woman with short brown hair, with a delicate face and a few freckles on the sides of her cheeks, but it did not affect the woman's grace, and she was a typical Shurima race.
Of course, Tyrone knew the woman who spoke, or he knew all the members of the death squad, after all, he needed to know if there was any waste among his companions, and a woman who could assassinate two small warlords of Shurima alone and still get away with it was not a simple thing.
In response to unexpected questions, thinking that most of the people present would probably not see the sun tomorrow, Tyrone patiently told the truth.
"If it weren't for the fact that Miss Caterina and Miss Cassiopeia weren't old enough, it would have been those two honorable young ladies who had come here,
Remember, the most important thing in the empire is military merit, not everyone has such an opportunity as us, forget about death so that we can have a chance to be promoted quickly, risks and benefits coexist, blowing up the totem to open up the situation for the legion is a great achievement, let me get out of here alive, I invite everyone to drink."
"Haha, what Captain Tyrone said is right, as the saying goes, the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish, as long as the task is completed, even if I die here, my family can benefit from it, the empire may have a lot of problems, but at least it will not be greedy for military merits, this is enough for me to die with confidence, not to mention that I can slaughter more man-eating animals before I die, and I will not lose if I die!"
The middle-aged man who was not very big was smiling, but his eyes were implied with ruthlessness.
Tyrone nodded and began to plan the battle.
As the night deepened, even the cold-fearless Calis dozed off.
The Sentry Post of the Cold Wind, with a forest of blue-gray human heads on spiked stakes, most of them are dead people, and most of them are old men, after all, women are never too many cubs for the Calis, unless they can't even fight wild beasts, otherwise the Calis rarely kill women for food.
In the content of the trade between the Calis tribe and the Darkwell Territory, women are extremely important trading resources, and the population of the Darkwell Territory is the majority
several from the Noxian Empire and the southern borders of Freeljord,
A small part of the population plundered by the Astral Apostles was left behind by Brown himself to keep the Blood Dynasty running, and most of them were kept as humans and animals for forced breeding, packing some elderly and barren women to the Calis living in the ancient city of Meradia, and fertile women were traded with the Calis as rare goods on a regular basis.
In the continuous development of the tribe, the Calis also learned "sustainable development" from outsiders, and built a lot of two-legged sheep and beast pens in the ancient city of Meradia, but it is difficult for the cariss, who like to eat human flesh, to make ends meet, and most of the time they still have to rely on the trade of the Darkwell Territory to make up the gap.
Because of the tribal tradition of cannibalism, inside and outside the outpost, the severed limbs of the human body are like slaughtered pork chops and are stacked on the eaves and wooden poles one by one, waiting for the chef to take them at any time.
The cold wave from the west has turned the outpost into a natural cold storage for frozen meat, and the humans who died of abuse will not be wasted, but will only become part of the power of the Calis when they are hungry, and merge into the great totem spirits, so that the totemic spirits will drive the Kalisian warriors to continue to loot more loot and food.
In the stone fort of the outpost, braziers were lined up, and after a low roar, Ugel, the thousand-commander of the Calis tribe, comfortably kicked away the slave girl he had just enjoyed, and tied a crotch cloth around his waist at random under the service of another slave girl.
The blue-gray stone-skinned giant with a body size of more than two and a half sat on the human skin bed and beckoned, and immediately a trembling female slave bowed down to hand over the freshly roasted meat.
Picking up the leg bones, Ugel began to feast, he had to eat five meals a day, and he would be hungry and unable to sleep without one.
Because of this, he became the most outstanding commander, alone in charge of the gateway to the ancient city of Meradia, in this foreign war, he is the guardian of the cold wind of the Great Chief of Calis, he also lived up to expectations, so that the enemy could not move an inch, relying on the ability of the totem, he did not even need to go to the battlefield to live a good life like the Great Chief.
After eating the bedtime supper, Uger drank half a jar of boiled snow water again, and then touched his belly contentedly.
"Get out! Go to bed! (Calisian)"
Seeing that the moody man-eating monster was finally going to sleep, the eight slave girls hurriedly put on their clothes and left without looking back.
Uger locked the door before climbing into the bed, the people of Calis were not monolithic, there were warriors of Calis who were assassinated by his own people, so every time he slept he would lock all entrances and exits, and put the battle axe next to the bed at any time.
Only this time, not long after Uger lay down, there was a sound of Calis's people screaming outside the stone castle, and Ugel got up from the bed with a face full of anger, just as someone was knocking on the door vigorously.
Ugel removed the wooden bolt and looked down at the panicked soldier with angry eyes.
"General Ugal! General Uger! There are enemies! There are enemies! (Calisian)"
"How is it possible for the enemy to bypass our defenses and come here!? You're not lying to me!"
"General Ugal! It's true! It's true! They're coming!"
"Where!?"
"Totem! They went to the totem position! The sticks in their hands can breathe fire and release lightning! Our warriors fell in one fell swoop, and they couldn't stop them!"
Ugel, who was still angry, immediately became a little breathless, he was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid that the totem would be destroyed.
It is not easy to awaken a spiritual primordial totem, and the Calis tribe has only awakened three primordial totems after hundreds of years of development, two in the ancient city of Meladia and one in the cold wind crest, all of which are distributed in strategic locations that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Not bothering to ask anything more, and not caring about the fact that there was only a piece of crotch cloth that didn't work very well, Ugel picked up his battle axe and ran towards the totem cave outside the stone castle.
At the same time, Tyrone and his party also managed to break through to the cave less than two hundred meters away from the stone castle.
The unbridled free fire consumed most of the ammunition reserves, but the Calis people were frantically blocking their way as if they didn't know the pain or fear, even if they were hit by a dozen bullets, they would not fall immediately, and their headless bodies could still wield weapons to pose a deadly threat to Tyrone.
"I'm running out of bullets!"
The brunette woman of Shurima, whose marksmanship is second only to Tyrone, was the first to speak,
Taking a deep breath, Tyrone directly smashed the precious experimental rifle in his hand to the ground, casually untied the ammunition bag at his waist and threw it to the woman, and he took off the two short knives on both sides of his thighs.
"I'll take the lead! Come in with me!"
With that, Tyrone's eyes glowed with purple, and his body suddenly turned into a phantom and disappeared into the Calis.
In the next moment, the hearts of the Calis exploded, and the totem crystals were destroyed.
