Under certain circumstances, Queletta's plan has many similarities with the Noxian siege network that Kalya had proposed but which Lax did not accept.
The key to both plans lies in the current loss of Noxus' sea power - after the Battle of Tall Bay, Noxus' Watch Sea Fleet is almost completely destroyed, and Besilico and Fendo can attack without restraint.
Support each other and replenish supplies through sea transportation.
You must know that both Besilico and Fendo are located at the foothills of a magnificent barrier, and are natural pass cities.
The biggest characteristic of this kind of city is that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Because the open space outside the city is limited, it is difficult for the army to deploy. Take Besilico as an example. Although the city is oval in shape as a whole, with the main walls in four directions, one side is close to the sea.
, there are cliffs on both sides. In fact, there is only an uneven open land in the east direction of the city, which can be used as an siege direction.
After hiring Zaun people to strengthen this aspect of the city wall and hoarding enough materials to defend the city, Queletta is confident that relying on this city wall, it can deal the heaviest blow to the Noxian army!
The Noxus siege network conceived by Kalya is essentially the same idea - but because of his better relationship with Bilgewater and existing trade connections with Mud Town and Kumangla, he can
Provide safer and more adequate maritime support.
Besilico's courage to raise a flag for rebellion mainly relied on the strong support of the local wealthy Duren family.
But according to Kalya's idea, if it joins the Noxus siege network, through blood transfusion through commercial cooperation, Besilico can even become a specialized war fortress, putting Noxus at risk.
In short, in Queletta's opinion, as long as Emnis is willing to act with him, she will be invincible in this war!
Besilico...will eventually become the burial place of the Noxus Empire!
The empire that once gave everyone a fair chance is long gone. At this time, Noxus is nothing more than an expansion machine that regards its citizens as fuel!
Noxus is better off destroyed!
……………………
Queletta obviously didn't know that her plan had long been known to others, and Swain also used it. Li Daitao united with the Fendo battle group and killed Emnis who was in contact with Queletta.
Through the letters exchanged between the two parties, as well as Emnis' recent actions, Swain quickly figured out Queletta's overall plan.
In this case, although Darius did not agree with some of Swain's ideas, he still chose to adopt Swain's plan - especially after arriving outside Besilico City, he tried it twice.
After the siege.
Although Darius did not dispatch the small mage group he had finally formed in the north during the two consecutive sieges, the defense on the walls of Besilico still gave him a headache.
Darius, who has been fighting the Freljords in the north for many years, knows better than anyone how disgusting this kind of fortress is.
Along the line of the Iron Thorn Mountains in the north, a series of Noxus fortresses were like keys, firmly blocking the Freljord people's southward passage. Despite the efforts of the Freljord barbarians, they finally succeeded.
He could only get his head bruised and bloody under the fortress.
You must know that the environment in the north is extremely unsuitable for Noxian operations. Noxians cannot tolerate low temperatures. Noxian weapons are used in high cold conditions. If they are not returned for maintenance for half a day, they will be damaged by heavy blows.
shatter.
Therefore, even if the Freljordians are not highly organized and have a low armor rate, the Noxians are still no match for them in a field battle.
But even so, the Freljordians have no way to deal with the Noxian fortress city on the line of the Iron Thorn Mountains. This kind of terrain is difficult and the fortress has been targeted and reinforced. Even if the Freljordians dispatched large-scale
Even though the beasts of burden charged at the city wall, they were unable to achieve any substantial breakthrough.
But now, Darius, who had always been on the defensive in the past and would only lead raids on rare occasions, was finally going to be the offensive side and face this damn fortress wall.
The effect of the two sieges was extremely poor. When the team spread out on the gentle slope, they were already within the bombing range of the long-range catapult at the top of the city. Although Besilico's catapult was not very accurate, the expansion range was limited, so they could do whatever they wanted.
bombing.
Then, after two tentative attacks, before the team even got close to the city wall, the casualties of the soldiers reached 30% - a level of loss that even Darius could not bear!
Therefore, Darius decisively adopted Swain's plan. While setting up camp and assuming a siege posture, he sent a small number of teams toward Fendo along the path at the foot of the magnificent barrier mountain.
As a show, he tried to siege the city again during this period, and also tried to send the mage group to the battlefield to see if he could break down a section of the city wall, but it turned out that although Zaun's magic-forbidden armor looked quite ugly,
, but the defense was relatively reliable. The mage group released several waves of war magic towards the city under cover, but the effect was not very good.
As a result, Darius had to admit that it was simply impossible to attack Besilico head-on.
Then the next step is to wait for the news from Swain!
In this way, Darius, who could do nothing but wait, finally took some time to revisit his old place.
Almost in a blink of an eye, Darius' legs seemed to have a mind of their own, leading him to the shore of Black Rock Lake.
Coming here again after many years, Darius looked at the calm lake water, but his mood was not calm at all.
This black rock lake carries a memory of Darius, a past, and a love that ended in vain. He had had countless joys with Queletta here, but the results of the two people were because of time and time again.
In the war, the two sides were divided, and even now the weapons are facing each other.
In the dense forest, there was no breeze, and the mirror-like lake water made Darius extremely irritable. He leaned down and chose a flat stone as if he were a child. After weighing it, he took it in his hand.
.
Holding his breath and concentrating, the next moment, his waist and abdomen suddenly exerted force and threw the stone.
The stone scratched across the water, causing a series of ripples, and finally sank to the bottom with a thud.
At the same time, behind Darius, birds were startled in the dense forest. After a moment, Draven, covered in blood, carried several heads and emerged from the dense forest.
