Build an ice dock, build an ice boat, and quietly carry people and things away. This is the best way to leave the city under the current martial law in Uzeris.
However, even if this can avoid Noxian patrols as much as possible, the specific process and steps need to be carefully planned - if discovered, the small sampan of the Noxian Navy may not be able to take Lux away
How about Ino, but the various health foods they spent a lot of money to buy may fall over and be directly fed to Naga Kapoulos's children, so it is not worth it.
So, in the next few days, Lux and Ino would sneak out at night, bypassing the curfew checkpoints and go to the beach in Beicheng.
Although they almost met the patrol several times, the final result was relatively smooth. After five days of careful observation, Lux and Ino finally had a relatively clear understanding of the northern area of Uzeris.
First of all, the city of Uzeris is not a regular square, but a trapezoid that is narrow in the north and wide in the south.
At the upper bottom of this trapezoid, the northern edge of the city of Uzeris is a zigzag coastline that is not straight.
Since most of the coastline is covered with jagged cliffs and rugged rocks, Uzeris did not build a city wall in this direction - it was completely unnecessary. Apart from the two docks, there was no suitable landing area at all.
But this kind of natural danger is not a fatal problem for Lux and Ino. After the field trip, Ino believes that he can find a place where no one is paying attention, build an "ice slide" as a dock, and push sleds.
Generally, ice ships carrying people and cargo can be slid directly into the sea, which can even save a lot of energy.
……………………
Pretending that the hotel was not in good condition, Lux and Ino checked out during the day, then led the camels all the way to the north of the city, seemingly planning to change to a hotel near the dock.
However, after arriving in the north of the city, they did not actually change to a hotel. Instead, they slipped into an unoccupied villa and settled here temporarily.
The owner of this villa may be a spell caster. Although there is no one at home, the walls are equipped with very clever magic locks, so ordinary thieves cannot get in.
However, for Lux and Ino, this level of magic lock is really not a high-end gadget. In five minutes, Lux easily solved it without even needing Karya's reminder, without any pressure.
.
Although the intention was not to steal, it was considered a break-in. After opening the magic lock and sneaking into the villa, Lux was surprised to find that her back was covered with a thin layer of sweat.
In this villa, Lux and Ino stayed until dark, then quietly left, avoiding the patrolling soldiers, and went around to a deserted cliff to the north.
Recently, after receiving troops from Nashrame, although the war in Noxus is still raging, the Noxian cities such as Kilgov, Grovet and Trevel across the Uzeris
Still, a large amount of city defense materials and reserve soldiers were continuously transported to Uzeris.
Therefore, even at night, the pier in the north of the city is still brightly lit and bustling with people.
Fortunately, the excitement was concentrated at the east and west piers. The cliff where Lux and Ino quietly came was only occasionally patrolled by a few soldiers, so it was safe.
After finding a water entry point that had been explored before, Lux led the camel and retreated to the back. Ino immediately came to the edge of the cliff, took a deep breath, and pressed his hands on the cliff.
With Ino's hands as the center, large swaths of frost began to crystallize, spread, and then turned into an ice bridge that thrust diagonally toward the sea below.
Under the precise control of Ino's magic power, the ice bridge stretched forward and widened continuously. A few minutes later, when Ino's face turned pale and his lips gradually began to lose color, the ice bridge
The end finally reached the sea.
Ino breathed a sigh of relief, retracted his red hands, moved his somewhat bulging arms, then stepped forward and held down the ice bridge.
The delicate magic power flowed into the ice bridge again, and the shape of the ice bridge began to change slightly.
The sloping bridge deck has changed from a flat and smooth mirror-like appearance to a slightly concave inward shape, and the curves of the entire bridge have become smoother - Eno even created a groove on the center line of the bridge deck.
, intending to use it to jam the ice ship he built after.
At the same time, Lux comforted the camel who was a little anxious because of the cold, while carefully guarding against possible patrol soldiers until Ino completed the bridge and turned around to start making ice ships.
, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, the production of the ice ship was completed. The ice ship made by Ino was not large in area, but the hull was very deep. There was also a longitudinal protruding groove on the bottom of the ship, which fit perfectly with the bottom of the ice bridge.
At the starting point of the ice bridge, after Eno assembled the ship and bridge perfectly, Lux led the camel to the ice ship. As Eno waved and removed the fence in front of the ship, the ice ship finally began to move under the influence of gravity.
It started to slide downward along the ice bridge at an accelerated speed.
This was a pretty crazy attempt. When the ice ship rushed to the sea along the ice bridge track, its speed was already quite amazing - the moment it entered the water, half of the ship's hull plunged into the sea, and the frightened camel even more
It almost flipped overboard.
Fortunately, Ino reacted very quickly and did not hesitate to temporarily freeze the people and camels in the boat when it entered the sea, thus avoiding the fate of the boat capsizing.
When the ship floated safely and Ino finally lifted the freeze, the camels were no longer panicked - they were completely frightened and just shivered in the corner of the ship, not even daring to look at Lux's hand.
of turnip.
But no matter what, this entry into the water was quite successful.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the camel's health, Ino made two ice oars and handed one to Lux. The two of them finally started rowing hard along the coast.
……………………
Lux and Ino didn't know how to row, but they relied on Kalya's surprise teaching before, so their rowing was slow and inefficient.
Lux was still seasick. Although the waves offshore were very small, she was a little uncomfortable at most, but the rowing efficiency was still greatly reduced.
Finally, after struggling for half a night, the two of them managed to bypass the northwest corner of Uzeris, found a tidal flat area, and led their camels ashore.
At this time, the long night is coming to an end and the sky is getting brighter. After working hard for half a night, Ino is not only physically exhausted, but also consumes a huge amount of magic power. Considering that it is not easy for camels to move forward on such tidal flats, she needs to create an ice road to leave.
, Ino and Lux can only rest here for a while.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Ino almost recovered. He created a frost path on the tidal flat, and the two of them led the camel and left the tidal flat.
Then, just as they were heading south, intending to stay away from Uzeris and officially start the last leg of their journey, a puff of smoke and dust rose up in front of them.
Someone came, and there were a lot of them.
Lux and Ino looked at each other, and without any communication, they roughly guessed the identity of this team: If nothing else, this team should be the Nashra beauties!
The two of them had encountered the vanguard of the Nashrami army before, and they acted quickly afterwards, throwing away the large force of the Nashrami. Considering that the two of them had been delayed in Uzeris for so long, the Nashrami people did indeed
It should be here.
But... Judging from the smoke and dust, there shouldn't be many people in this team, and this is the west of Uzeris, a tidal flat area where formations cannot be set up.
Can it be considered a feint?
Lux and Ino's guesses were absolutely correct.
In fact, the team that came to the west of the city was indeed a feint attack force - to be more precise, it was a large mercenary group hired by Saga to make a show of force and attract the attention of the defenders.
Sivir's mercenary group is among this team.
When Lux and Ino passed by this team on guard, they also passed by Sivir and Cassiopeia again.
However, unlike the previous time in the oasis, this time, the two parties finally went in completely different directions.
Sivir, who accepted Cassiopeia, tried to make a comeback as a mercenary.
Lux and Ino set off to start the last stage of training before climbing.
The two figures passing by each other and drifting away seemed like two curtains being drawn to both sides, opening up a new era of Shurima.
