The Devil's Eye was exploded, and Lamer was obviously in great pain.
Similarly, Swain, who had lost his high-altitude vision, was a little embarrassed for a while - going from luxury to frugality, and losing his devil's eyes to see the battlefield, Swain was even a little uncomfortable for a while.
Fortunately, before there was no Devil's Eye, Swain was already a very good commander. However, after a moment of embarrassment, he quickly adjusted his mentality.
The enemy has support!
"The person who came should be Lux, the leader of Zaun." Tamara, who also saw the beam of light, quickly provided key information, "Zuan has undergone great changes in the past three years, and all the changes have nothing to do with her.
Relatedly, based on known information, it is speculated that she is a quite difficult mage who uses light element magic."
"The element of light is so interesting."
Swain nodded, indicating that he understood, and then quickly issued a series of instructions. Beside him, a team that had never acted before and had not even worn armor finally received the order.
, began to take action.
"I heard that the Zaun people have developed the Alchemical Forbidden Stone, is that right?" While waiting for the team to put on their helmets and armor, Swain asked Jagu beside him with a smile, "You didn't ask about it.
, their raw materials and processing techniques?”
Jagu could only show an embarrassed smile.
"The Zaun people do a very good job of keeping secrets." Tamara explained straightforwardly, "Even war masons would have a hard time penetrating into key positions in Zaun."
"But this guy said that all of Zaun's skills were leftover from Piltover." Swain still had a smile on his face, but his tone gradually became colder, "It seems that Mr. Jagu doesn't
You are so sincere in what you claim!”
"Sir Swain, Zaun does use outdated and outdated technologies." Jagu was also quite unjust, "But regarding alchemy... I think you should know this part better than us!"
"I know better?"
"It is said that the Zuan people once sold many alchemical products to the empire." Jia Gu spread his arms and showed a helpless situation, "Until three years ago, the supply was almost cut off."
After hearing this, Swain's expression finally turned bad.
Because he heard about the Alchemy Forbidden Stone, he subconsciously regarded alchemy as a method of processing metal materials - just like forging and casting.
After all, in Noxus, metal processing sometimes also uses methods related to alchemy such as wax etching and pickling, and most of these methods are used to process gorgeous patterns.
However, when Jagu mentioned the "alchemy products sold to Noxus," Swain realized that he had gone astray.
Is Swain familiar with the alchemical products Jagu mentioned?
So familiar!
You know, the place where these alchemy products are used is none other than Ionia!
As the marshal of the Ionian war, Swain can only be described as hating these alchemical products - this is not because he has extremely high moral standards, but because the abuse of these alchemical products has no fundamental impact on the war situation.
On the other hand, it contributed to the unity of the Ionians.
As a commander with considerable political level and structure, Swain's attitude toward the Ionian War from the beginning was to "divide the Ionians as much as possible."
To this end, Swain also wrote a detailed letter and secretly sent it to Commander Darkwill.
In the letter, Swain clearly stated that the Ionians lived a prosperous life, but their structure was loose and different from what the empire had conquered in the past. Considering that there are many small and sophisticated organizations here, it would be difficult to conquer Io.
The most important thing about Nia is that the Ionians cannot be united.
Following this principle, Swain proposed a series of strategies of great practical significance.
First of all, he believed that Ionia's monks, elders and others could be attracted, just like he did in North Shurima Uzeris and Belgun, without affecting their core cultural customs.
, win over, divide and coerce, and eliminate its hostility to Noxus.
Secondly, instigating conflicts in Ionia can lead to conflicts between various sects. If necessary, it can help escalate the conflict and lead to bloody conflicts.
Then, give Ionian civilians a clear space for advancement, so that these civilians who can see their results at a glance throughout their lives can have the opportunity to become masters and thus side with Noxus.
Finally, those who cannot be coaxed, provoked and seduced will resort to force. At this point, Noxus' victory will become inevitable.
It can be said that there is no problem with Swain's strategy. If Noxus is willing to spend twenty years and follow Swain's plan step by step, then Ai, who has not had a unified understanding since ancient times, will
It is very likely that Onia will be completely divided, torn into pieces, and eventually swallowed up by the Noxus Empire.
Unfortunately, Darkwill ignored this detailed and reliable report and plan, and wholeheartedly asked Swain to "use war to quickly solve the problem."
It's not that Swain can't understand this kind of request - the Noxians are eager for military glory, and if they have to go to war, it's not impossible!
After settling for the next best thing, Swain once again proposed his own plan. He hoped that the war would be carried out selectively and that the battle lines could not be spread out across the board. Instead, like Pacman, the Ionian sects would be eliminated one by one.
and organizations; for civilians, it cannot arouse public anger, and it is okay to impose additional taxes, but avoid conscription as much as possible.
Faced with this humble request, Darkwill waved his hand and allowed each war group to "act cheaply" and at the same time issued an order to plunder magic items.
The result was...the alchemical potions were abused, the morale of the Noxian soldiers was greatly reduced; the alchemical gas was introduced into the battle, and the Ionians were completely enraged.
At this point, the Noxians in the New Land were completely passive, with no fighting spirit and war everywhere. However, the Ionians, who originally left the small country with few people, have united together and have been non-cooperative from the beginning.
, turned into the subsequent uprising.
Then, Navoli stood upright. Under absolute predicament, Preidion fought Swain desperately, hoping to capture Preidion and break the Ionian people's fighting spirit, but the result of the battle was that Ai was defeated.
Rylia severed an arm, and Noxus was ultimately defeated.
Therefore, when alchemical medicines and alchemical gases were mentioned, even though the war had been over for several months, Swain was still itching with hatred!
"snort--"
Breathing out hard through his nose, Swain finally stopped talking and quietly waited for this special team to be dressed up.
……………………
Although Swain also gave the order to retreat when he ordered this special team to start dressing up, it was not that simple for the Noxian soldiers who had already rushed to the wall to retreat unscathed.
They can use their mobility to play with programmed automatic cannons, but the college guards beside the wall are not fools. How could they let these Noxians leave so easily?
It is a pity that although the walls of the academy are high, they are not thick. Even if they fight back with all their strength, only a few Noxian soldiers will be left behind. By the time Lux leads the team to the wall, the remaining Noxian soldiers will be gone.
The Tsarites have all withdrawn.
Looking at the densely packed Noxian soldiers in the darkness outside the wall, Lux couldn't help but narrowed her eyes slightly, and subconsciously pressed her hand on the hilt of her sword.
"Why, are you scared?" Kalya teased, "I feel like you are a little excited!"
"Of course I'm excited!" Lux licked her dry lips, "These should be the elite soldiers of Noxus, right?"
"It looks about the same." After confirming that Lux was in good condition, Kalya said again, "Use the light and look for the flag!"
According to Kalya's request, Lux scanned the Noxian position like a human searchlight - however, she did not find even a single iconic flag.
Although Lux was sure from the styles of armor and weapons that these people were 100% Noxian soldiers, there was indeed not even a flag among this team of thousands of people.
There was no Noxian flag, no commander's banner, not even a banner representing the warband - this was completely different from the Noxian army that Lux knew!
"This is really strange." Lux, who discovered this, couldn't help but wonder, "Why don't these Noxians even have a flag?"
"Are you sure?"
"Indeed not... If it was for a sneak attack, it would be understandable not to raise the flag, but now that they are attacking the academy openly, it is necessary to raise the flag in the dark, right?" Lux stroked her sword uneasily.
Handle, "Judging from the opponent's military formation, their commander should not be a fool who forgets to even raise the flag - there is definitely something weird in this!"
"That's right, it's weird!" Kalya finally burst out laughing after hearing this, "I had some guesses just now when I reminded you that there is a strange eye on the top of your head. Now since the other party has no military flags and indicators, it seems that
My guess is absolutely correct!"
"What a guess, don't sell it!"
"Although the people here are Noxian soldiers, they are not regular soldiers!"
"Don't lie to me, the Crownguard family is a military family, and I still know the black iron armor!"
"They were in the past, but they are not now." Seeing that the Zaun mage group was ready, Kalya didn't care anymore, "That was the defeated army of the Noxians after the Battle of Ionia, and they should be led by
Swain - If they don’t raise the battle flag, that’s because they don’t have a battle flag at all!”
After hearing this conclusion, Lux was finally stunned.
