The mountain city on the Green Teeth Peak-Eternal Peak line uses special Forbidden Stone square bricks as the main building material. It starts from the peak of the Urus Mountains in the north and ends at the Gate of Sorrow in the Shining Silver Mountains in the south. There are three steel gates from south to north, five of them.
The arrow tower and the high fort extend vertically for more than 80,000 miles.
For Demacians, the mountain fortress east of Green Teeth Peak-Eternal Peak is the most impenetrable military defense line in the entire territory of Demacia. Since the founding of Demacia, the Immortal Defense Line has never been breached by foreign enemies.
The Demacian indigo flag is the most proud military symbol of the Demacians. Once it is raised, it will never fall.
The first experience of every Demacia soldier when he embarks on his military career is to step onto the walls of the Immortal Defense Line and watch with his own eyes as Demacia's shining stars rush across the Milky Way, past the steel gate dam, and straight into the endless stretch of Nokomo to the east.
The strange plains flow to the territory of Demacia's old enemy, the Noxus Empire [Emerald Territory].
Every Demacian knows that from the beginning, the defense line between Green Teeth Peak and Eternal Peak was to defend against the warlike neighbors to the east.
Every Demacian soldier also knows that one day this section of the Great Wall will become a place of glory for Demacia to stop its enemies, but no one would have thought that when the Demacian Kingdom's army was about to annihilate two imperial legions and achieve a great victory.
, there will be a arrogant madman general leading a group of bloodthirsty and violent butchers to charge against the immortal defense line at all costs.
On the Laobamen Mountain Fortress, under the mountain wall of just over 100 meters, there were corpses of Noxians lying on the ground. The corpses were piled up in a two-meter-high pile, exuding the aroma of meat under the burning of kerosene.
Amidst the blazing flames soaring into the sky, countless Noxians were still climbing over the burning corpses towards the siege ladder, like hell ghosts devouring their souls.
I have never seen such a desperate fighting style. The Demacian soldiers, who were already at a disadvantage in numbers, began to retreat. They were not afraid of sacrifice, but they were afraid that they would die inexplicably in the demon's charge.
"Behead those who retreat!
Follow me to stabilize the front!
"
Croft, the old gatekeeper, drew out his blood-stained Demacia steel sword, kicked the ferocious Noxian soldier off the city wall, and roared at the top of his lungs.
"General! We really can't hold it any longer!
If we hold on any longer we will all die here!
"
"Zekaraia! Do you want to be a coward who runs away from battle?
Do you want to shame your parents?
"
As soon as Croft, who was wide-eyed with anger, finished speaking, he saw Zekariah, who had just spoken, with a look of fear on his face, and his head was chopped off with an ax.
The dark red blood sprayed high and fell on the heavy armor that had been completely dyed red. The heads rolled down. The moment the headless corpse fell, the expressionless horned helmet was slightly deflected, revealing an empty and indifferent gaze, silently.
Looking down at himself.
He couldn't see the enemy's face, couldn't see the enemy's emotions, and felt nothing except the silent killing intent.
I really want to give in, I really want to live, but if I continue to resist, I will definitely be killed easily...
Facing the cold gaze of the owner of the horned helmet, Croft finally noticed the tremor coming from the depths of his soul, and the Demacia general couldn't help but take a step back.
He was not a coward, but he could not suppress the fear and fear in his body. This contradictory feeling almost caused him to collapse.
It was as if he was destined to be a coward in front of this enemy.
"Who on earth are you!
"
Croft responded with the heavy footsteps of iron greaves. The Imperial general's boots stepped on the Demacian soldier's fingers. When he raised his right foot again, the Demacian soldier's five fingers were already connected to the flesh.
Bone-in and ground into meat paste.
The double-headed giant ax was dragged behind him with one hand by the visitor, and there were many deep marks on the hard magic-forbidden stone wall tiles, making him feel like he was in a deserted place like its owner.
"Winter, winter, winter."
The pace of the Imperial General continues to move forward.
"Protect General Croft!
Kill!
"
"Monsters of Noxus! Die!
"
The three Demacia soldiers simultaneously thrust out the fine iron spears in their hands, accurately hitting the imperial general's neck armor and back chest.
The sharp iron spear tip that could pierce iron plates could only make a few white spots on the blood-red iron sheet. The imperial general finally stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the Demacia soldiers besieging him.
The Demacian soldiers who were glanced at instantly felt the heavy pressure and were about to withdraw their spears and attack again.
The next second, the imperial general's arm armor twisted, his fingers clenched tightly, and there was a heavy sound of gold and iron.
The knuckles as sharp as claws clasped the fine decoration of the ax handle, and the person and the giant ax fit perfectly. Then the body began to twist, pulling the heavy ax body with huge force, and the originally heavy ax blade instantly broke off the ground, and the command was issued.
The shocking sound of breaking through the sky.
"call!"
Like a violent hurricane roaring past,
The giant ax turned into a deadly semicircular bloody arc, and the ax blade cut through everything in its path, tearing apart all obstacles.
"Clang."
With the iron gun barrels in their hands, three Demacian soldiers wearing fine chainmail were cut in half by the imperial general. The three soldiers watched with unblinking eyes as their lower bodies separated from themselves, which also made other people who wanted to step forward.
The Demacian soldiers stopped.
At this moment, all the Demacian soldiers who witnessed this scene understood deeply that they were definitely no match for the Barbarian Butcher.
Croft also witnessed his men being killed in an instant without the ability to resist. Croft's back felt cold and he took a step back again. His hands that had not wavered finally began to tremble.
Within sight, the defense line of his organization had completely collapsed, and his compatriots were killed in an orderly manner by the Noxians. Even surrender was of no use. This group of barbarians was not prepared to leave any prisoners from the beginning.
The main force of the kingdom was participating in the encirclement and annihilation battle in the south. He knew from the beginning that there would be no reinforcements here, but he could not have expected that even relying on the advantages of the mountain fortress would not be able to stop the Noxians for a moment.
Can't even do it for a day.
He became the defeated general and stubbornly killed all his compatriots and soldiers who trusted him.
A whole two thousand people were just gone.
If the key mountain fortress of Old Gate is thrown away, the defense line between Green Teeth Peak and Eternal Peak will be opened, and the people of Demacia will be massacred.
"General!
Go quickly!
I'm holding him back!
"
"Help me take care of my..."
"Pfft."
The words stopped suddenly, two heads were cut off by ax blades, and a soldier was split in two from the head by a huge ax.
His body was already covered with fragments of human organs, and the blood-soaked demon was still slowly approaching him, killing everything in his way.
Croft took one last look at Demacia's indigo flag, clenched his steel sword with both hands, and launched the last charge in his life.
"Demacia!
"
"Pfft."
The hand lifts and the ax falls.
The head rolled to the side, and the stainless steel sword was broken into two sections from the middle of the ridge, leaning against the master's headless body.
Like other Demacian soldiers, Demacian generals are no different.
The indigo flag was cut off by iron hands, the flagpole and flag fell into a pool of blood, and were trampled underfoot by iron boots.
The old door has fallen.
…
In the capital of Demacia, outside the meeting hall outside the royal palace, a fast horse fell to the ground with foam at the mouth and took its last breath. The owner of the fast horse did not have the chance to see the old man for the last time.
After receiving the urgent encrypted message, Dulles Jarvan took a look at it and slapped the battle report on the luxurious mahogany table with a livid face.
The solid wood table broke into two sections in the middle, and the crystal tea set and silver dinner plate on the wooden table fell off.
When Jarvan I became angry, the staff in the council chamber and the ministers of the kingdom lowered their heads to avoid arousing the king's anger.
"Demacia has been a country for more than nine hundred years. The kingdom has countless loyal and brave soldiers who protect our country. From ancient times to the present, we have never suffered such humiliation!
One day! In just one day! The kingdom lost its old gate and the Green Teeth Pass. Within a week, the Noxian army that broke through the pass slaughtered five of our villages, and all 30,000 Demacians were killed.
Kill! Those bandits are still wreaking havoc everywhere in our kingdom, leaving not a single blade of grass growing in their path!
The enemies have all come to the hinterland. What is my Generalissimo Chris doing?
Ah!?? Are you still drinking with those useless Noxian players who are trapped in the lonely city!?"
The silent kingdom staff stared at the toes of their shoes intently, as if they were embroidered with some beautiful pattern.
The messenger who delivered the letter knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and did not dare to say a word.
"A bunch of trash!
"
After a while, Jiawen I struggled to suppress the anger in his heart.
Having said that, he also knew that what Chris did was actually right. Giving up on annihilating the Noxian Legion at the last moment would cause greater losses. By then it would be too late to return reinforcements, and Liinland's enemies would have to run away.
Fetching water from a bamboo basket is in vain.
However, the correct result does not mean that the process is correct. Simply speaking, the result of allowing the enemy to enter the territory of the kingdom is enough to remove the marshal of the kingdom from his post, no matter how great his achievements are.
The staff who were good at understanding the will of the Holy Spirit made just the right suggestions so that the angry king could find a way out.
"Your Majesty, although Marshal Chris has made a heinous mistake, it is taboo to change generals before a battle. The outcome of the battle in Leinland has not yet been determined. Your Majesty, please think twice."
When someone spoke up, other aides and noble ministers also began to lend their support. Some even suggested that Chris lead an army to make amends and surround and kill the invaders. However, no noble minister took the initiative to speak up and lead his own private troops to fight against the enemy.
What is public and what is private, these fat-headed ministers know much more clearly than he does.
Looking coldly at the kingdom officials under his throne, Jarvan I suddenly remembered what his father, King Red, said to him when he was young.
[Only when you sit on the throne will you understand that most of the ministers who help you manage the kingdom under the throne will not consider the life and death of the people. They maintain your rule just because you can preserve their family and allow them to continue to be prosperous and wealthy.
】
Even with his own namesake, the great late King Dulles could only rely on himself when the country was in crisis.
"That's enough! Hawthorne, from now on, you will serve as the kingdom's military recruiter, and I will give you the right to do whatever you want.
In one week, you have to recruit young and middle-aged citizens of Demacia across the country to form a new army. One week later, I will lead the expedition myself! I will personally exterminate this group of Noxian rats!"
The private soldiers of the nobles can also be regarded as citizens of Demacia. This is equivalent to gaining benefits from the great nobles of Demacia in disguise. In normal times, many ministers will definitely object to it. However, if the matter is urgent, the noble ministers present will
It was hard to say anything, so I could only swallow this breath silently.
His Majesty, the Emperor of Demacia, has gone to the battlefield, so recruiting a few nobles and private troops is no problem.
These four words of "royal chariot and personal conquest" are enough to stop all the nobles' mouths and make them convinced.
"My lord, I obey the order."
…
In the outer city of Leinland, Chris frowned and put down the news from the palace.
The good news is that Jarvan I did not ask him to lead an army to return for reinforcements. The bad news is that Jarvan I said nothing to him. Instead, he recruited new legions in the country and prepared to lead the expedition himself.
Compared to this result, he would rather Jarvan I wrote him a letter and removed him from office.
"I'm afraid it's time for me to go home and take care of myself after this battle is over."
Behind Chris, the members of the staff looked at each other, a little worried. After all, they and Chris had a mutually beneficial relationship. If Chris was not reused, the Crown Guard family would be left out, and they would not be able to succeed.
.
"Your Majesty's decision this time really needs to be thought over. In the history of Demacia, there are not many kings who have personally led conquests, but any king who appears is an extremely ambitious hero.
In particular, the deeds of King Dulles are a magnificent legend in the history of Demacia...
Mr. Chris, please forgive me, this city of Leinland is like the hardest bone to chew. It hurts your teeth every time you take a bite, but it is still thankless.
After being unable to capture the enemy for a long time, our soldiers have become very war-weary. On the other hand, Noxus has become more mournful.
If we continue to fight and lose more soldiers, I am afraid that instead of achieving nothing, we will have a fault."
Chris sighed, he didn't know this truth, but as the supreme commander, he had no choice from the beginning.
From the moment the Thain Army ignored the orders of the Supreme Headquarters and went directly north, whether he chose to return to support the old guard or continue to besiege Leinland, it became the wrong choice.
According to the combat effectiveness of Thain's army, even if he led his troops back in time, it would be too late to prevent Thain from breaking through the old gate.
When the time comes, Thane will not go deep into the border of Demacia and just turn around and leave. However, he will have to take the risk of the Leinland defenders successfully breaking through. You must know that the Second Support Army is affiliated with Burnham's First Empire.
The legion has always been on the periphery to contain troops.
Deploying too few troops to return reinforcements is useless. If too many troops are deployed, the war situation in Leinland will directly deteriorate, and it is not impossible to be surrounded by the Noxians.
"marshal?"
"Let the Fearless Vanguard go. At least let His Majesty know that I have never forgotten the people of Demacia."
