At the frontline outpost of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, in the chairman's seat of the legion's command room, the expeditionary force's commander, Camille Ferros, was presiding over an emergency military meeting using magical communication.
In addition to Camille, those who participated in the meeting also included [Demon Ruler] Evelyn, Lieutenant General Colclough Raises, Commander of the First Legion of the Expeditionary Force, Major General Kled, and Commander of the Second Legion, Luo
Lieutenant General Stannis, Major General Che'er, Major General Doroteo of the New Shurima Empire Expeditionary Corps, Black Judgment Arcane Legion [Queen of Dark Elements] Syndra and Master Jax of the Empire's Elite Exploration Team
In addition, warriors such as Li Qing, the Dragon Warrior Monk of Shuoji Temple, Kushuo Master of the Kinkou Sect, and Yasuo, the Swift Wind Swordsman of the Wind Swordsmanship Dojo, have not yet returned to their base. In an emergency, Master Jax can only serve as the leader of other exploration teams.
represent.
When everyone in the magic image arrived, Camille with a solemn face spoke.
"Everyone, Sir Syndra, who has returned to the empire to report on his duties, has brought some unfortunate news. The empire is currently at war with the Underworld Legion in the Kingdom of Ixtal, not far from the Icathia Peninsula."
Lieutenant General Colclough frowned. Currently, most of the troops of the expeditionary force are at the forefront of the construction of the Magic Star Monument. There is an automatic defense of the Star Monument in the rear, and only a very small number of troops are stationed.
The Light Rod Star Monument can certainly fight against the scattered void creatures, but if it is cut in by the underworld army from the north, it will stab the main artery of the expeditionary force, let alone expel the void to find the Void Queen Belvi
Si, just the cost of food and clothing for so many people in the expeditionary force can drive people to death. Without the protection of the magic star monument, the supply line will be directly cut off by void creatures.
When we first made the war plan, we never thought that there might be enemies so close to Ixtar.
"Your Excellency Syndra, what is the current situation? Will it affect our battlefield?"
Syndra, who traveled all the way south from Fidelite and finally arrived at Vicoula, looked very tired. If it hadn't been an emergency, she wouldn't have been so anxious to use the magic star tablet made of crystal to call everyone for a meeting in advance.
"At present, the empire has sent the Holy Light Legion to assist Ixtal, and your Majesty will personally guard Ixoken. As long as Ixoken can be guarded, it will be difficult for the underworld army to make a move against us..."
"Lester is in Isookon right now?! Can I go hang out with him? I'm so embarrassed."
Lostanis, who was never energetic in military meetings and rarely took the initiative to speak, her eyes lit up, and her beast-like eyes were filled with aggression. It was obvious that the blond beast girl with big boobs had accumulated a lot of pressure during this period.
, just waiting to be released at some point.
If she hadn't been entrusted by Lester, she would have no interest in being the general of the vastaya army and coming to fight in this useless place. She would rather fight with Lester than with the creatures of the void. Unfortunately, a certain
This ungrateful man never came to see her again after he assigned her to the Icathia Peninsula.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while. Others who knew the nature of the Holy Emperor were okay, but the most uncomfortable one was the 'outsider' General Doroteo who did not belong to the Noxus Empire.
At this moment, Doroteo lowered his head and stared at the summer, as if he had a peony embroidered on his boots. After all, the legions of the New Shurima Empire were essentially just servants of the Noxus Empire.
How dare you express any dissatisfaction with the emperor of your suzerain country when you are just following orders.
Camille and Syndra looked at each other. Faced with an ancient living fossil like Lostanis who had lived for who knows how long, even they couldn't say much. The responsibility of dissuading them naturally fell on Che, who was also Xia Rui.
On Er's body, Che Er lived up to expectations and grabbed Lostanis's cheeks with both hands and pulled them back and forth, complaining.
"Can you please restrain yourself? Don't you think what time it is now? If the war is delayed, do you think a coldhearted and heartless man like Lester will still pay attention to you?"
Lostanis opened her eyes wide after realizing it, and then she seemed to be deflated again.
"That's right. Obviously I just want to hang out with him. It's so troublesome."
"There is no shortage of women around him, how can he think of old guys like us..."
What left Camille and Syndra speechless was that Che Er, who usually 'controlled' Lostanis, also seemed to be acting strangely. Jax shook his head secretly.
It seemed that Che Er, who had always been reliable, had now turned into a harem. Camille put her right hand on her forehead and danced several times. She felt that the romantic debt left by her teacher was a big headache, but thinking about it from another angle, it could make such a big deal.
A strong woman never forgets her teacher.
Speaking of which, I haven’t been gentle with my teacher for a long time...
In the unspeakable and strange silence, Kled slammed the table with dissatisfaction. He did not come to the meeting to listen to his old friend's romantic affairs.
"Hey! I said, shouldn't what we are thinking about now be how to get in and kill the void bugs as soon as possible? You can do whatever you want to do after this battle is over?"
Except for Lostanis, who didn't know what shame was, all the women who were related to the Holy Emperor were a little uncomfortable. Syndra coughed twice and said.
"Ahem... In short, Lady Xina hopes that we will deal with the threat of the Queen of the Void as soon as possible. If necessary, we can change the combat plan and become more radical. After all, no one can be sure whether the underworld army will come and go without a trace.
By bypassing Ixoken and raiding the Icathia Peninsula, we must take into account the threat posed by the underworld army."
"Yes! This is an important matter that needs to be resolved urgently in this combat meeting."
Camille, who had received an amnesty, knocked on the table, attracted everyone's attention again, and said in a deep voice.
"Even without the incident in Ixtar, our battle line is too long now. Even with the assistance of the Magic Star Monument, it is becoming more and more difficult to resupply. Generally speaking, the legion is still in a state of suppressing void creatures.
, the casualties are gradually increasing,
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Since it is Lady Xina’s order, it is time for us to consider changing to a more efficient way of fighting."
Having said this, Camille turned to look at Jax, who had never spoken.
"Master Jax, is the exploration team making any progress?"
Jax shook his head.
"The exploration team can roughly determine the location of the Queen of the Void. Unfortunately, the Queen of the Void can also detect our movements through the existence of void creatures.
At present, under our covert pursuit, the Queen of the Void has been fleeing further south. This is also the main reason why the battle line is getting longer and longer.
Our soldiers and horses need supplies, and the void creatures only need sinking sand and mud to feed themselves. Belvis uses the Void Legion to contain our main force and fight a war of attrition with us, while she herself chooses to fight guerrilla warfare with our exploration team.
, if things go on like this, we will inevitably become more and more passive. Once Belvis finds a way to destroy the magic star monument, all our efforts will be in vain."
"That's right, Master Jax. Your exploration team is the vanguard in fighting void creatures. In your opinion, how can we change the current predicament?"
Jax rubbed his knuckles, his voice a little more murderous.
"My other exploration teams have discussed this issue. Our idea is to streamline the size of the exploration team and form a raiding team composed of the strongest people with no more than ten people.
On the surface, we need to maintain the fighting method of the main force advancing and the exploration team searching, in order to paralyze the Queen of the Void. Secretly, the raiding team avoids the battle and sneaks all the way, locking the Queen of the Void's position without harming any void creatures, and casting attacks on her.
Kill him with a thunder blow,
The difficulty is how the raiding team can avoid the Queen of the Void's attention. Masking the aura is only the most basic condition for the raiding team. In addition, the raiding team must find a non-combat stealth method. Only in this way can the raiding team not attract Belvis's attention.
Notice."
Camille pondered for a while and looked at the others.
"The method Master Jax mentioned is a good plan. If you have any other ideas, you might as well discuss them."
Seeing that no one was speaking, Sindra spoke out her thoughts.
"We have not been able to find the Tower of Time so far. Maybe we can try to put more effort into finding the Tower of Time. If we can get the help of Master Kilan, the Guardian of Time, maybe we can find Belvis more easily.
s position."
"Is there a possibility that the owner of the Tower of Time is deliberately avoiding us?"
Evelyn shrugged.
"It's a pity that I didn't accompany the master when he went to the Tower of Time. Otherwise, I would definitely be able to find the location of the Tower of Time."
"Evelin is right. If the Guardian of Time does not want to be found, even if we search the entire Icathia Peninsula, it will be in vain. It is better to concentrate on forming a raiding team like Master Jax said."
Syndra didn't say anything else. She knew that what Camille and Evelin said were true. Before that, the expeditionary force had sent many people to the dilapidated city to find the Time Guardian. Not to mention digging deep into the ground, it was also true.
It's definitely a huge effort, and with the ability of Time Guardian Kieran, he will definitely be able to spot it.
If this kind of thing doesn't work out at the beginning, it won't work out later either.
"Does anyone else have any ideas?"
Camille looked around and said solemnly.
"Since everyone has no other suggestions, let's discuss various matters regarding the formation of a raiding team and how we can solve the problem of infiltration in disguise..."
Unknown to the superiors, a new combat plan had been formulated. On the front line of the outpost, Darius, who had been promoted to captain, was leading his combat team to patrol the border area of the Magic Star Monument.
Each border patrol team is equipped with the best war horses and magic signal generating devices, coupled with priority supply of weapons and equipment, it can be said that they are armed to the teeth. The reason why they can receive such preferential treatment is because the border patrol team is an imperial expeditionary force.
There is no single unit with the highest casualties in the war.
This is also the main reason why Darius was promoted to captain in a short period of time.
Different from the initial battle in Vicoula, from the moment they entered the Icathia Peninsula, the soldiers of the expeditionary force seemed to have entered a strange and evil world.
The earth is a pale purple color, and all movable or inactive animals and plants have been corrupted by void energy, turning them into deadly dangers that eat people without spitting out their bones. In this corrupted land, there is no water source or food.
All supplies must be transported from the rear.
Bottomless caves and rifts can be seen everywhere. If you step on the ground, you will end up with no bones left. The majestic peaks seem to have been hollowed out by insects, revealing pieces of round holes that penetrate the sky. The sun and moon in the sky
The stars were all dimmed with a layer of evil light purple.
The most dangerous thing is the void creature that comes and goes without a trace.
Under the leadership of the Queen of the Void, Belvis, many insect-shaped void creatures have acquired the excellent characteristics of marine creatures. Not only can they flash through the air at will, but they can also conceal their aura with camouflage, allowing the soldiers of the expeditionary force to slack off.
It can be said that just describing the types and characteristics of void creatures is enough to compile a daunting book.
If the soldiers of the expeditionary force appointed by the Noxus Empire were not all elites in the army, and the expeditionary force relied on the magic star tablet to move steadily, it would have been impossible for the expeditionary force to penetrate so deeply into the Icathia Peninsula.
Even so, the endless struggle on the edge of life and death made the expeditionary force feel quite war-weary, which was supported by their faith in the Empire and admiration for Roxy's spirit.
Under such harsh circumstances, the patrol team commanded by Darius was able to maintain high combat morale and low battle loss rate, and was given the honorary title of 'Wolf Team' within the expeditionary force.
Darius, who always takes the lead and charges at the front with a broad-bladed giant ax, has even been nicknamed "The Alpha Wolf". Darius doesn't show much on the surface, but secretly he is quite satisfied with his military nickname.

"So why do you, brother, get called the 'alpha wolf' and Sister-in-law Queletta, you get called the 'she-wolf'? You are so handsome, so I have to be called the 'big-footed wolf'?"
What the hell is Bigfoot? Are my feet too big? Isn’t this unfair?”
During this patrol mission, Delevingne expressed his dissatisfaction with the nickname for the twenty-fifth time. The Wild Wolf Team gave him good-natured laughter for the twenty-fifth time. The low laughter of his colleagues made Delevingn cry.
A roll of eyes.
"You're still laughing. You guys want a nickname and you don't have one yet. Even if you have one, it's just a stinky wolf, a wolf with eagle hair or something like that. It's no better than me."
"Aren't your feet big enough, Draven? They're almost as big as my shoehorn face."
"My feet are so big that even bedbugs can't catch up with your big feet. I don't know what you're feeling wronged about. I'm just being lenient by not calling you Bigfoot. You're actually showing off, right?"
"If Bigfoot takes off his boots and socks, do you think Bigfoot will turn into a Stinkfoot Wolf? Even void bugs will stay away, right?"
"How about I take it off and you can smell it?"
"Then I'd rather smell the insect's skin and maybe think a little more."
The air seems a little livelier.
Darius looked back at his younger brother who was being 'bullied' by his subordinates for being noisy, and had to admit that keeping the morale of the Wild Wolf Team so high had a lot to do with his younger brother's mother-in-law mouth.
The strangest thing is that both the members of the Wild Wolf Team and Draven seem to like the roles they play, leaving him, the ‘alpha wolf’, no room to interrupt.
Sometimes he even felt that the core of the Wolf Team was his brother Draven, not Darius.
