No matter Noxus or Demacia, both sides have adopted a strategic decisive battle posture on the front line of Tobitsia.
But in terms of actual deployment, both Swain and Jarvan IV chose the safest step-by-step approach, without triggering the situation.
Needless to say, Swain's side, the strategist commander responsible for commanding the entire army seemed content to capture Tobitsia. After occupying the city, he not only expanded it into a military fortress, but also devoted himself to construction and logistics.
, as if he wanted to use Tobitsia as a nail to drive into the heart of Demacia.
If Swain's steady and steady attack can be understood as repairing and accumulating strength on the spot after a long drive, then Jarvan IV's steady and steady attack is really unexpected.
The young and vigorous Jarvan IV was supposed to lead the army and gather strength along the way. However, after arriving at the front line of Tobitsia, he did not take the initiative to fight with the Noxians. After Tobitsia changed hands, he simply
A company camp has been established on the other side of the Tobitsia River, and there is even a tendency to develop it into a small town.
Across the fast-flowing Tobitsia River, the Demacia army and Noxus launched a long confrontation. Neither side seemed to have any intention of taking the initiative to attack. They did not recruit civilian ships or cut wood for the war.
Zhou only focused on the construction of his own camps and fortresses, and seemed to wait until the other side could no longer hold on, then pursue them in tandem and destroy the enemy in one fell swoop.
The reason for this situation is not that both sides have lost their enterprising spirit. It is actually because at this time, both Demacia and Noxus need to deal with some internal contradictions on their own side first - and in terms of internal contradictions,
Before calming down or alleviating the situation, both sides are in a state where they have sufficient strength to defend and their attacks are unstable.
The internal contradiction in Demacia is very clear, which is the disunity between the noble council and the royal family.
According to his father's last will and testament before his death, Jarvan IV adopted the strategy of "putting aside conflicts and focusing on confronting the enemy". We are brothers fighting against each other and trying to fend off their insults.
Demacia is being invaded. Now is not the time for the royal family and the nobles to compete. If there is internal strife at this time, the result can only be that the Noxians take the opportunity to defeat them one by one. Those who were worried about the fiefdoms and hurriedly returned to help were eventually defeated.
The nobles who surrounded the site to support them are the best evidence.
The nobles theoretically accept the principles proposed by Jarvan IV. No matter how much they hate the royal family, they will still choose to fight for Demacia in front of the Noxians. But the problem is that we can form
A united front and coordinated cooperation to avoid being defeated by the Noxians individually, but who should give the command to?
In the past, the Demacia army has always relied on elite armed forces as its core force, and then selected the better parts from local garrison troops and lords' private armies, and cooperated with the elite armed forces to form the main combatants, while the rest of the old and weak armies were
They serve as a logistics support team and do not participate in frontal battles.
The noble lords will uniformly go to the marshal's men to obey orders. Those who are not good at going to the battlefield can leave their own troops and go to the rear.
The advantage of this is that the soldiers are the most elite, eager to achieve meritorious service. They have high morale, are well-equipped, and dare to fight. They hope to become nobles or noble reserve soldiers through war, and their combat effectiveness is very guaranteed.
As for those soldiers and nobles who lack combat effectiveness, have low morale, and lack fighting spirit, they will not go to the battlefield to prevent them from becoming weaknesses in the army and being targeted.
If this incident had not happened, then everyone would have no objection to Jarvan IV being the commander-in-chief of the entire army. But after everyone has lost their skin, if the nobles are allowed to follow tradition and hand over their elite private armies to
If you go out, I'm afraid no one will agree.
Now that everyone is like this, who can safely hand over military power?
In fact, the old king, who was bedridden at the time, had already anticipated this situation. Therefore, he had warned Jarvan IV early not to act too hastily on the command of the army, but to take things slowly.
Therefore, in the face of the hesitation of the noble lords, Jarvan IV proposed on the spot that in order to express his sincerity, he could allow part of the command authority to be delegated. I would set strategic goals, and you would each command a private army to achieve these strategic goals.
We will not engage in unified actions after the elite are mobilized. You can each lead your own team. I will also command my elite garrison, fearless vanguard and flying wing corps. If anyone is willing to do the logistics support work, then stand up. If no one is willing to do it, just stand up.
Each of us will allocate some people to be responsible for it. Now that we lack trust internally, let’s just not do this kind of thing that can easily cause misunderstandings.
This kind of leadership method similar to the departmental system has never appeared in Demacia in the past. Compared with the previous professional military management, the departmental system actually has no guarantee in terms of combat effectiveness - it is no exaggeration.
It is said that at least two-thirds of the noble lords of Demacia are military idiots. If they are allowed to lead the army, they can only perform the simplest military tasks. Jarvan IV will not be worried if it is slightly more complex or difficult.
But since everyone had just been in internal strife before, the sectional system was the only way to establish a united front. Without this method, Demacia's huge coalition would fall apart in minutes.
Of course, in order to be able to slowly figure it out, Jarvan IV did not completely give in. After throwing out the sweet date of the ministry system, he seemed quite confident when issuing combat missions to each ministry, and the noble lords also
I can give him this face and accept his orders.
Therefore, the first order issued by Jarvan IV was to mobilize several teams as elite armed logistics troops directly under his command. In order to facilitate operations and strengthen cooperation, these people will be directly commanded by him.
Obviously this was against the order of the troops, and the lords of these teams protested one after another. In order to appease them, Jarvan IV promised that this kind of logistics team would be rotated, and that he would only take temporary command, and other teams would never interfere.
The lord in question was doubtful, and other nobles were unwilling to get into trouble with such trivial matters. Jarvan IV's order was finally passed.
With the establishment of basic order, Demacia's military operations gradually became smoother, and the confrontation across the river became increasingly tight.
……………………
Similar to Demacia, Noxus actually has quite a few internal problems.
The Demacians only almost fought before, but not long ago, the Noxians were beaten to a pulp. Both sides had gone through many battles, and their eyes were red. In this case, the leader of the three armies was
The pressure Swain faced is understandable.
In order to calm down internal conflicts as much as possible, Swain not only spent time on team mobilization to avoid accidents as much as possible, but also went to great lengths to ensure that rewards and punishments were fair and consistent. In addition, Thane, the former Noxan
The appearance of the Hand on the battlefield to boost morale and successive victories ensured basic coordination among the various Noxian chapters.
But now, as Demacia gradually reacts, Swain has to stop and further purge the army.
Why has Swain been repairing grain roads and building barriers?
On the one hand, the team is unable to attack, but on the other hand, Swain also has to firmly control the logistics of all the battle groups under his command. He knows in his heart that the only way to deal with the Noxian army, which is full of internal contradictions, is through fair treatment and the addition of
Only by grasping the lifeline of logistics can you control yourself.
Moreover, although the previous series of victories gave Swain a certain degree of prestige, in order to truly realize this prestige, he still needs to accumulate hard work. Swain clearly sees that with his current prestige,
There is no problem in letting the battle group attack freely, but if you want them to act completely according to your own plan, some feign attacks, some blockades, some sacrifices, some surprise attacks, and some serve as reserves, then you still can't do it at all.
Coupled with the impetuous military morale caused by consecutive victories, the Demacians also took action, and then they chose to build a fortress here in Tobitsia to reorganize internally and accumulate strength.
In addition, in addition to the army, Swain is also very wary of the Pale Lady and her black rose - although it is undeniable that her previous actions have helped Noxus a lot, Swain does not think that she
As much as he loves Noxus, the Pale Lady and the Black Rose definitely have their own special purpose.
But not long ago, the Pale Lady found him again and showed him a special way of fighting. Just like last time, Swain still did not trust this guy, but he was not convinced by the kind of fighting she proposed.
However, the method cannot be ignored. If we can really fight as the pale lady said, then the most fatal problem of the Noxus Chapter's lack of extraordinary people will be completely made up for!
The tactics are good tactics, but what is her purpose?
……………………
The front line of Tobitsia maintains a confrontational posture. Noxus and Demacia are like two boxers slowly finding their form in the first round. Although there are often frictions and exchanges, these are tentative attacks.
It's a tangle between small groups of troops.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, on Forsbarrow's side, Lux also began to speed up the pace of preparing for war.
Unlike the Noxian army and the Demacia army on the front line, the main task that Forsbarrow's Northern Walkers and Lawkeepers need to prepare for war is to unify their thoughts.
In the simplest terms, it is what they are fighting for.
Thanks to the huge income from Forsbarrow's official trade, Northern Walkers and Law Enforcers have never stopped taking cultural classes after training or working - although it is not like Lux taught them in person at the beginning, but they
But you also need to study humanities, history, geography and other courses.
At the beginning, this knowledge was just some fantastic stories to the Northern Walkers and the Law Controllers. Everyone was born as a commoner, and none of their ancestors followed His Majesty Oren to make military exploits. The history of Demacia could not be more different.
Chang, what does it have to do with us?
However, how could the textbook compiled by Kalya himself focus on the stories of one family?
This set of historical textbooks specially prepared for mages, northern travelers and clerks, focuses not only on the past glory of Demacia, but also on the changes in the lives of Demacians.
From the precarious conditions of sleeping in the open air when escaping the war at the beginning, to the hardships of reclaiming land when the kingdom was first built, and the hardships of reclaiming land; from the once dense swamps all over the country, to the water networks after generations of water conservancy projects were built; from the appalling crop yields in the early days,
After generations of breeding, Demacia now has bumper harvests year after year...
In the study of history, many people have gradually discovered that it seems that the high-ranking nobles are getting worse from generation to generation, but the lives of Demacia people are getting better and better - as far as they can see, no king can compare with them.
Oren and Sentu were so great back then, and there were no nobles as brave, fearless, kind and strong as their ancestors. But even so, everything in Demacia is always getting better and better.
Who created all this?
Kalya did not give a direct answer.
But after the construction of artificial lakes, the dredging of canals, the construction of new ports, the settlement of immigrants, the planting of fragrant red sage, the cultivation of hazelnut antler, the domestication of Enuk and Yukar...most people actually already have it in their hearts.
Answer.
This is the result of the joint efforts of Demacians.
This ignorant understanding greatly strengthened the pride of the mages, Northern Walkers and clerks, and vaguely gave them a sense of mission. When they followed Lux to the North, they heard those noble ancestors
I always feel admired when I tell their stories, but now, when talking about those people whose names are engraved in history, many people have vaguely thought "I can do it" in their hearts.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! No one can tell when this idea came up - maybe it was when the Master stood on the stage and received applause for the first time, maybe it was when the artificial lake was successfully stored
When the water is wet, it may be the time when the fragrant red and red sultanas are like fireworks, or it may be when the big ship of Xinfukang docks.
Just like when Kalya took the initiative to help Lux learn magic in the first place, in order to persuade her to learn magic, in Forsbarrow, the Archon, the Northern Walker, and the clerks are also changing the world through practice at a speed visible to the naked eye.
.
Three years ago, Fosbello was a barren land where birds did not poop. Strange diseases were prevalent here and the products were barren. Herb collectors climbed on the cliffs to obtain medicinal herbs. Hunters formed groups in the deep mountains and old forests to hunt tigers and leopards.
If you are not careful, you will be permanently disabled.
Three years ago, the rumbling sound of glaciers in Forsbarrow every spring made people uneasy, everyone had to work hard every summer, there was no joy of harvest every autumn, and every winter was a harsh experience for the people.
test.
Three years ago, the people of Forsbarrow only had seasonal wild vegetables on their tables, and even the cheapest oats were not available for every meal. Although newborns did not need to wait for the name day like the Freljord.
Everyone has a nickname, but each one has a meaner nickname than the other. It seems that this can lower the expectations of growth and survive a childhood of scarcity.
This was Forsbyro before Lux arrived, a barren land located in the northwest corner of the Kingdom of Demacia.
Three years later, the land in Fosbairo is still barren, but the products have gradually become abundant. Fragrant red sage and hazelnut mushrooms, as two high value-added agricultural products, are enough to bring a large amount of liquid money to Fosbairo.
, hunting hunters gradually began to switch to fur processing industry and animal husbandry, herb collectors became herb growers, and miners are looking forward to a complete mineral industry chain.
Three years later, the glacier meltwater has become a water conservancy resource visible to the naked eye. As long as the canal is completed, Forsbarrow will have the same water transportation capacity as Mithril City, coupled with Xinfu Port, an ice-free deep-water port
, the future here is limitless!
Three years later, the protein and fat intake of the Forsbarrow people has far exceeded the average level of Demacia. Oatmeal has gone from being a food that cannot be eaten with every meal to a food that everyone can eat, but no one likes to eat.
Deep-sea fish that have never been tasted and milk that is rarely drunk have entered thousands of households. With the expansion of basic education, even a half-year-old boy who can afford a poor man still has to take care of a meal at noon!
All these changes come from Laxana, from the Dharma Masters, Northern Walkers and Clerks, and from all the Forsbarrow people.
Most people in Forsbarrow can understand the meaning of development, but their children and grandchildren will understand, and they have personally felt the changes in Forsbarrow, so they fully support their lords and respect the Dharma Protectors.
, Northern Walker and Clerk.
The Dharma Protectors, Northern Walkers and clerks clearly felt and understood all of this.
In the past three years, apart from basic learning, Kalya has not taught more content to the people of Forsbyro, because facts speak louder than words.
Now, he is finally going to break through this layer of window paper!
What should be the future of Fosbairo, what is the mission of Fosbairo people, what should Fosbairo do...
These questions require a clear answer.
After self-recommendation and careful selection, Forsbarrow's Northern Pioneer Group, composed of the most missionary and responsible mages, northern walkers and clerks, was formally established.
At the same time, within the Archon, Northern Walkers and clerks, the [Glory Group] with members of the Northern Pioneers as the main members was also established. Every Archon project or engineering team, and every Northern Walker team,
Each clerk action group has dedicated honor team members who need to help their colleagues after work and are specifically responsible for ideological work and maintaining Forsbarrow's ideological unity.
Based on development, with economy as its body, magic as its tendons, and ideas as its bones, in the northern border of Demacia, an indestructible giant is gradually standing up on the northern plateau, overlooking the vast expanse of fertile land of Demacia.
News from the frontline was continuously spread to Forsbyro through Sona and Ivar. After the internal organization construction was completed, Lux and Kalya have been paying attention to the situation in Tobitsia.
Finally, as spring blossoms, the Demacia army and the Noxian army, which have been confronting each other for a long time, seem to have warmed up and started moving.
After receiving the news, Lux issued a general mobilization order in her spring speech.
