Chapter603 My sword is big, you have to bear with it
I don't know when, an invisible layer of thick fog appeared on the mountainside. The thick fog obscured the figures of the Dauntless Vanguard and the Noxians fighting. No soldiers knew what the current battle situation was like, and they could only talk about it.
"Is that Noxian monster dead?"
"It should be...dead, right? After all, he is also a fearless vanguard, the elite of the kingdom that His Majesty relies on most.
Everyone is a warrior selected from a thousand. There are a total of eight companies fighting with the army this time, how can we lose?"
"Where is your Majesty?"
"We are wiping out the defeated remnants of the army. In the end, we Demacians won this battle. The process was difficult, but we proved that the Noxians are not invincible."
Under the expectant gazes of the soldiers, the sound of collapsing rocks could be heard in the thick fog.
"What's that sound?"
"The mountain collapsed?"
"That! That's a monster!
The monster general of Noxus breaks out!
"
"Where's the Fearless Pioneer!
"
"what should we do?"
"Stop them!
"
At this moment, no one could answer the soldiers. Only the general of Demacia shouted an order at the top of his lungs, asking the soldiers to block the charge of the imperial general. However, after several roars, most of the soldiers deliberately slowed down to keep themselves away from the monster.
Further away.
Even Demacia's most powerful Dreadnought Vanguard was lost at the hands of the Noxians. What could they do?
The timid mood brought the morale of Demacian soldiers to freezing point.
The retreating Demacia soldiers gave the Thain Army the best opportunity to break through the siege. It was not until a minute passed that the fearless vanguard soldiers who found a way out of the thick fog ran out.
"They want to assassinate His Majesty!
Stop them!
"
"So the Dauntless Vanguard are not dead? They were just trapped by the enemy's evil magic?"
"Why are you still standing there! We will never let the Noxians harm His Majesty!
"
The Demacia frontline soldiers who finally began to encircle discovered that the Thane Legion, which had fewer than 3,000 men, had broken through their encirclement and hit the long-range troops like an iron fist.
They brutally slaughtered the archers like tigers entering a flock of sheep.
Seeing that his companions could not resist the enemy for a moment, the Demacian archer who was standing behind hurriedly threw away the Demacian walking bow that only had time to fire a round of arrows. The archer pulled out the long sword from his waist and stepped back desperately.
go.
In less than a few dozen seconds, the defense line composed of long-range troops had been broken through, and the pursuers behind them were unable to catch up. The soldiers of the Thane Legion, who were strengthened by the magic of the accompanying mage for a while, seemed to be in an uninhabited land, and broke through Demacia.
Established line of defense.
The battle flag next to Jarvan I, who was cleaning up the mess, was as eye-catching as a lighthouse in the harbor at night. Thane stopped and turned around.
"Come and kill with me!
"
"General! The Demacian Emperor is riding a horse! How can we catch up with them with just our legs!
Why not stop here and flee to the mountains and forests over there, maybe there will be a glimmer of hope!
"
"General Thain! We have done enough! Brothers are exhausted! There is really no way to continue to kill! Withdraw!"
"General Yeager! Please advise General Thain!"
"A real man is alive! Fighting on the battlefield! Wrapped in horse leather! Why fear death!
"
Yeager did not stop, but his voice reached the ears of every legionnaire.
"Brothers who want to leave, run for their lives. I will never stop you. But as the general of the Thane Legion, I, Yeager, will never abandon the legion commander, let alone those friendly troops who are fighting for us!
If we fail to achieve our goal, we will fight to the death!"
After the words fell, the soldiers who were reluctant to retreat thought of their experiences in the past three days and puffed up their chests again.
They are soldiers of the Thain Legion. They originally chose to join the army for the sake of glory and wealth. But now, under the leadership of Thain, they have accomplished great feats that soldiers could not even imagine.
General Yeager is right. Since its establishment, the Thain Army has been tasked with carrying forward the martial spirit of Texas. They have taken nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, and now they are only one step away from making the Thain Army famous.
In the world, use your unyielding fighting spirit to awaken more successors of Roxy's glory,
If you can give up this life and be famous throughout the ages, why should you fear death?
In this way, in the silent charge, except for the sound of heavy breathing, there was no other sound.
…
"Your Majesty! The group of barbarians who were stuck on the mountain have rushed out and are moving towards us."
The dragon bird knight's voice was as uncertain as the wind and clouds, and the news he brought was like a sarcastic slap on his face.
Do they still dare?
How dare they?
Jarvan I silently stroked his beloved horse that had lost its breath, his heart filled with anger.
Regardless of whether they had the upper hand or not, these Noxian savages just refused to die and be part of his great achievements.
Every time he advances, the spikes under his feet will pierce the soles of his feet, and every time he punches, he will be dripping with blood. How can he be as famous as the late King Dulles?
Although this battle will be won, Demacia has paid such a heavy price. What is the meaning of such a victory?
How will the people of Demacia view their own 'Dulles'?
An incompetent king who attacked the remnants of the barbarians with three times the force, surrounded them, suffered more than half of the casualties, and narrowly won the bloody battle?
Thinking back to the heroic stories my father told me when I was young,
Thinking back to the expectations for me in my father's eyes before his death,
Thinking back to the night when the barbarians from Noxus entered the country and massacred the villages,
Dulles Jarvan stood up, straightened his back again, and switched to the guard's horse.
He is Dulles Jarvan, destined to become a hero of Demacia like the late King Dulles.
He will personally crush the group of enemies standing in front of him, and pierce the head of the unbeatable imperial general with the Halberd of Atama.
Only in this way will the victory of this battle be meaningful enough.
This is the original intention of the imperial commander's personal expedition.
How can an imperial barbarian who has been exhausted from countless battles compete with a great king guarded by a large army?
All he has to do is wait until the barbarian is exhausted, and then he can step forward and remove his head to achieve this great feat...
"Your Majesty! The barbarians from the empire are coming. For the sake of safety, Your Majesty..."
"With you loyal soldiers, what should I fear?"
Hengqian was immediately forward, Jarvan I said coldly.
"I'm right here. I want to see who is more powerful, the soldiers of Demacia or the barbarians of Noxus."
Once your words were spoken, there was no room for maneuver. The Demacian soldiers stopped persuading and began to mobilize soldiers to surround and suppress the counterattacking enemies. If these remnants of soldiers were really allowed to harm the emperor, they would not have to live and would have to be killed when they returned home.
The people of Demacia cursed to death.
Like mud flowing into the sea, surrounded by Demacian soldiers, the Thane Legion encountered unprecedented strong resistance. Unlike the previous Kingdom soldiers who were not very willing to fight, the soldiers guarding the Demacian Emperor had extremely high morale and were willing to fight for
Defend the emperor and fight to the death without retreating.
From early morning fighting to dusk, blood dyed the fiery clouds on the horizon red.
The setting sun is like blood.
There were fewer and fewer people around Thane. Every step forward required killing a dozen crazy Demacia soldiers. The three thousand people were quickly killed and wounded, leaving only less than a hundred legion guards.
The Legion Guards are carefully selected imperial warriors from the Thane Legion. Both their armor and weapons are produced by master blacksmiths in black iron furnaces. Only armor and swords forged from black iron can withstand such high-intensity battles.
, even so, the Guards Regiment has reached the end of its life.
Standing at the forefront of the legion from beginning to end, Thain has always faced the most powerful pressure.
The Demonsteel Armor was slightly damaged in the battle with the Dauntless Vanguard. This time it was besieged by Demacia soldiers. After countless impacts, the damaged armor slowly cracked and peeled off to the ground.
"Pfft."
The body was finally stabbed by a spear for the first time. Thain held down the spear that pierced his abdomen with his left hand to prevent the spear from entering. He wielded the black cutter with his right hand and cut off the head of the Demacia soldier.
The emperor of Demacia was riding a tall horse, looking at him indifferently from a hundred meters away. Thane took off the broken barrel helmet that had begun to block his sight, and threw it on the ground.
It was even more frightening than wearing a ferocious barrel helmet. Seeing Thain's face with his own eyes, the Demacian soldiers all took three steps back, and no one dared to step forward.
Smiling contemptuously, Thane raised his eyes and jumped over these cowardly rats to look at the Demacian emperor in the distance, but the distance of a hundred meters was like a world away.
Taking out the bloody spear and throwing it on the ground, Thain looked back and saw that all he could see were Demacians. Behind him, only Yeager and a dozen personal guards were still struggling.
The black rose military mages who said they wanted to save him had already left, and he didn't know where they were going, but he never expected those noble mages to fight to the death with him.
My own path forward should have ended here.
Having long expected that such a day would come, Thain felt relaxed all over.
Whether it is the magic steel armor or the black cutter, the greedy and bloodthirsty weapons have already been satisfied in the endless killing.
The blood and soul of the deceased on the weapon are no longer an obstacle to his own will. Instead, they have become one with him and become his source of strength for endless battles. Otherwise, even he would not be able to survive this endless battle.
to today.
As a general and lord of the empire, he has done the best he can,
I am worthy of Roxy's name, I am worthy of the empire's courage, I am worthy of the gift of Jade,
He, Thane, is worthy of the title of Hand of Noxus.
The only person who felt guilty was Yeager behind him. As a lord, he never gave Yeager any extra preferential treatment, but Yeager always chose to follow him and silently became his right-hand man.
Now that the legion is running out of fuel, Yeager and himself died in battle, which will probably disappoint Yeager's wife and children.
That was what Thain was thinking at first, until his eyes met Yeager, Thain felt relieved and completely let go of the heavy burden in his heart.
It turned out that from the beginning, his best friend was prepared to die.
If you can have such a friend in your whole life, this life is enough.
Thane turned around, looked at Jarvan I and laughed.
"Little Jarvan! I, Thane, am here! Do you dare to fight me!"
Jarvan I was unmoved. He just took a fine horse bow, nocked an arrow, and aimed it at a Noxian soldier.
"stop."
The arrow missed and screamed, and the silver-feathered armor-piercing arrow accurately hit the face of the legionnaire. The weapon came out of his hand and the soldier fell to the ground on his back.
Taking a second arrow, Jarvan I killed the second target indifferently,
The morale of the Demacian soldiers was greatly boosted and they cheered. For a moment, even the soldiers who were afraid of Thane and dared not step forward regained their courage.
"Your Majesty is brave!"
The Demacian soldiers resumed their siege. Thain roared and rotated the ax handle. The ax blade turned into a black crescent moon and flashed past. The five besieging Demacian soldiers were actually cut into two.
.
The horrifying sight once again shattered the courage of the Demacian soldiers. Facing one man, Thane, hundreds of Demacian soldiers retreated together.
Frowning, not prepared to give Thane any chance to breathe, Jarvan I issued the order.
"Fire the arrow!"
A rain of arrows came from the sky, and all the legion's personal guards were wiped out.
Thane blocked the Black Cutter in front of him, preparing to block the arrows with his armor, but he heard Yeager's voice behind him.
"The sheep pretends to be weak and will kill you with one strike. Thain, this is your only chance. We will be brothers again in the next life."
After the arrow rain passed, Thane turned to look behind him. Yeager, who used his body to block the arrow rain, still had expectations for himself. The man stood on the ground with a sword in both hands, and the man riddled with holes stood still.
I fell down, but could no longer say a single word.
With a sore nose, Thain knelt on the ground on one knee, holding his lower abdomen, and lowered his head.
For the first time, the man let go of the black cutter on the battlefield, and the peerless weapon that killed thousands of people fell to the ground, leaving its owner.
Seeing this, Jarvan I raised his right hand, and the archers who were about to fire arrows again could only retract their bowstrings to clear the way for their king.
Raising the Halberd of Atama, Jarvan I understood that this was his best chance to kill the monster.
Only by executing the imperial general yourself can this victory be meaningful.
Jarvan I took a deep breath, suddenly tightened his horse's belly, and charged towards Thane.
With just one shot, he can chop the imperial general's head into pieces.
The horse is getting faster and faster,
Just as he was about to arrive in front of Thain, Thain, who had been lowering his head, suddenly raised his head, revealing a terrifying face and sight.
"Haha, little Jiawen, you are indeed a coward!"
"Herod!
"
Perhaps because he was riding a stranger, or perhaps he was really frightened by the overwhelming murderous intent, the war horse carrying Jarvan I suddenly stopped in front of Thane, raised its front hooves and fell to the ground.
Foaming at the mouth and dying.
Caught off guard, Jarvan I lost his balance and fell to the ground together with his horse. Atama's Halberd and Langton's Omen fell to the ground.
Everything is silent,
The Demacian soldiers present could never have imagined that the king of Demacia would be in such a dangerous situation in the blink of an eye.
The tall figure stood up again, and the imperial general came to the emperor with heavy steps. However, the emperor suddenly jumped up from the ground and stabbed the imperial general in the chin with the crown on his head.
The sharp crown pierced the throat of the imperial general, and blood rolled out. However, the imperial general smiled coldly, grabbed the crown owner's throat with both hands, and tightened it like an iron pincer.
“Hurry and help!
"
"His Majesty!
"
With the heavy calls of the soldiers in his ears, Jarvan I's wandering eyes gradually blurred, and he struggled to fixate on the face of the imperial general in front of him. On the corpses pierced by countless spears, Jarvan I saw the smile of the victor.
