0572 The Tao is one foot high, the devil is one foot high
On the front line of Tobitsia, Jarvan IV returns to camp and removes his armor.
Not long ago, the patrolling Dragon Bird Knights discovered that the Noxians were swimming a small team in the upper reaches of the Tobitsia River. After receiving the news, Jarvan IV personally led the Dauntless Vanguard to intercept them.
A fight broke out in the swamps on the north bank of the Bisia River.
Because the soldiers of the Dauntless Vanguard were elite enough, and Jarvan IV himself was quite reliable, even though there were a few spellcasters as cover among the team that swam secretly, they were still quickly defeated and buried in the mire.
.
The clean and tidy battle made the eyes of the logistics team who went to clean up the battlefield shine brightly. Which Demacian doesn't want to make such a great contribution?
Although Jarvan IV returned victorious, he was not arrogant at all. He treated these private soldiers like gentle breeze and gentle rain, and encouraged them with words - he had been doing this since the confrontation began.
Now, after the battlefield was cleaned and the logistics team brought back all the black iron armor that had not fallen into the mire, Jarvan IV, who returned to his camp, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After the attendant took off his armor and put on civilian clothes, Jarvan IV's eyes fell on the hanging military map. He picked up a pen and wrote a small mark on the top of the map where the battle was today.
with a red cross, and then narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.
On this map, large and small red crosses have spread all over both sides of the Tobitsia River, and each red cross represents a battle-in the past three months of confrontation, Noxar
From time to time, the Si people would send out a small team, either to swim to the north bank of the river, or to conduct small-scale reconnaissance activities along the river eastward.
Due to the continuous patrols of dragonbird knights in Demacia day and night, most of the Noxian scout teams were actively intercepted by the Dreadnought Vanguard. Jarvan IV, Galen and Taric took turns to attack, starting from Nok.
The Sars captured a large number of armor weapons, as well as various drawing tools and simple sketches.
Obviously, facing the possibility of a large-scale military battle, the Noxians obviously wanted to understand the battlefield situation in advance. The maps and sketches they drew were quite detailed, and they even added a lot of this map in Jarvan IV's camp.
Details, but due to the lack of air superiority and high-altitude vision, Demacia would catch him red-handed at least eight out of ten times.
It's interesting to say that the black iron armor of the Noxians would be good equipment in other countries, but here in Demacia, with rune steel armor installed on a large scale, these captured black iron
The armor can only be regarded as scrap metal - so Jarvan IV ordered to cut down trees and make a large number of crosses. These armors were connected with helmets and Noxus' "inferior weapons" along the Tobitsia River.
The fence was usually lined up to demonstrate to the Noxians on the other side of the river.
Due to the lack of communication between the two sides, the effect of the demonstration cannot yet be seen, but at least it can be confirmed that this arrogant behavior made the Demacians quite satisfied and excited. On the riverside outside the joint camp, as the black iron armor crossed the
The longer the platoon gets, the higher the morale of the soldiers in the camp becomes.
Recalling the expectations of the logistics soldiers before, Jarvan IV looked at the military map in front of him and finally nodded with satisfaction.
The military spirit is available!
Then, just as Jarvan IV was thinking about the next step, the guards reported that Garen and Taric were coming hand in hand. Jarvan IV put away the proud look on his face and sat upright. After a while, his whole body
Garen, who was wearing armor, and Tarik, who was still a little out of place, strode into the tent.
The two of them first congratulated Jarvan IV on his victory as usual, and then naturally asked about the next battle plan. After a long confrontation, the nobles who did not understand military affairs gradually became accustomed to following Jarvan IV's orders.
They were walking armed on the front line, but people like Garen and Taric who knew how to fight were clearly aware of the huge energy Demacia had accumulated at this time.
It seems that the real attack is not far away.
"There is no need to worry yet." Jarvan IV did not look like a young man at all, but was quite calm. "Although the morale is high and the military morale is available, we still need more preparations before we can actually launch an attack."
"..."
Galen and Tariq looked at each other, both looking like they were hesitant to speak.
In fact, the two of them believed in Jarvan IV's battle plan, but the soldiers under their command were already very eager to fight. The small scout wars in the past few months could not satisfy the soldiers' desire to make contributions.
More and more black iron armors were seized, and many people began to take the initiative to ask for battle, hoping to compete face to face with the Noxians.
If the soldiers are not given any tangible evidence, their morale will gradually become impetuous, which is not a good thing.
"I have already sent people to the north to transport the Colossus of Justice." Jarvan IV also understood this. Calculating the time, the Colossus of Justice was coming soon, so he simply made the soldiers more excited, "Noxus
We have prepared many mages at Tobitsia Fortress, and I heard that they also used dangerous poison gas in Ionia. We need the Colossus of Justice to break this kind of magic!"
Since he neither understands magic theory nor alchemy technology, Jarvan IV believes that poison gas should also be a type of war magic. The use of poison gas by the Noxians in the Ionian War is already considered a mystery.
It is a small international news. Now he proposes to use the Colossus of Justice to prevent poison gas. From the perspective of Demacians, it is completely reasonable.
Although I have never seen poisonous gas, Xiongdu has just been surrounded by black mist for almost half a month. Rune steel armor can defend against magic bombardment, but there is still no good way to deal with these all-pervasive things, so I brought the Colossus of Justice over, and the soldiers must have
We are still willing to wait.
After receiving this answer, both Galen and Tariq obviously agreed.
"Moreover, spring has arrived, and the barbarians in the north should have calmed down." Jarvan IV continued, "The three legions in the north, except that the second legion is not well-organized, can also serve the kingdom.
.”
Upon hearing this hint, both Galen and Tariq's eyes widened.
Could it be that Jarvan IV has ordered the mobilization of the First and Third Legions from the North to move south?
What happened at what time? Why didn't I hear any news about it?
"It's a message from the Illuminati." Regarding these two people he could completely trust, Jarvan IV was very candid. "The silent men of the Illuminati are also willing to serve the kingdom in times of crisis."
If other nobles heard that Jarvan IV had used the power of the Illuminati Silent Men, they would probably be dissatisfied with his approach to divine power. However, both Galen and Taric put their country first, so not only did these two not feel dissatisfied,
On the contrary, I am quite excited!
With the Silent People's secret channels, if the Northern First and Third Legions can quietly rush to the battlefield, they can catch the Noxians by surprise at the critical moment...
Brothers, think about the effect of the previous battle in Mithril City. It was just a partial division of the Second Legion responsible for blocking the mission, but it took advantage of the moment when the Claw of Winter was halfway through to attack and defeated the once flooded Mithril City.
Silver’s barbarian army!
This is so exciting just thinking about it!
"Therefore, we must ensure that the Noxians cannot understand the surrounding terrain." Jarvan IV concluded, "Issues related to the mobilization of the Northern Army are prohibited from being spread to outsiders. Information about the Colossus of Justice will be drafted and prepared to be sent to the outside world.
The whole army announced that the three armies are now ready. As long as we rely on the Fearless Vanguard and the Winged Legion to cover the eyes of the Noxians, as long as the outflanking is in place, the Noxians will die without a burial place!"
……………………
Jarvan IV was confident that his plans were kept secret, and believed that by intercepting the scouts, he was hindering the Noxians from understanding the terrain further away.
But in fact, Jarvan IV's confidence was just a smoke bomb deliberately released by Swain.
Does Noxus need to know the topography of the hundred or even thousand miles surrounding the battlefield of Tobitsia?
It is very necessary. This area has undulating mountains, dense water networks, forests, and swamps. If you don't understand the topography, once a war starts, the local battlefield will easily suffer devastating collapse.
But do the Noxians need to brave the high-altitude patrol vision of the Dragon Bird Rider, swim stupidly armed, and draw pictures everywhere?
No need - in fact, before the Noxian army attacked, their war masons had already started their activities. They used the Gotin family's fiefdom as their base camp, moved around, collected a lot of intelligence, and drew maps, Svi
Because he has long been familiar with the topography of Tobitsia with a radius of thousands of miles, the map in Swain's office inside Tobitsia Fortress is even more precise than Jarvan IV's!
The war masons who "trained" in Piltover can be said to be far more skilled than the clerks of Demacia when it comes to drawing maps!
Even the semi-finished maps captured by Demacia were prepared by the Noxians in advance. From the very beginning, these soldiers carrying semi-finished maps and drawing equipment were destined to die.
So, wouldn't this kind of death mission cause dissatisfaction and mutiny among the soldiers?
You know, not every Noxian is like Swain, willing to dedicate everything to the empire.
The answer is not to be afraid. To be precise, although these people wear black iron armor and carry the battle flags and weapons of the chapter, they are not actually serving soldiers of Noxus. They are actually members of the Black Rose.
"Body Futures" by LeBlanc and Wladimir.
Sending them to die on the battlefield is the result of the cooperation between Black Rose and Swain. It can also be regarded as a "show of sincerity" by Black Rose. LeBlanc and Swain intend to try their best to help Noxus win this war!
As for why they did it...
Although Larmer also wanted to know this, Swain had no time to understand it for the time being. The military situation in Tobitsia had consumed almost all of his energy. In the short few months of confrontation on the front line, he
The originally high hairline was moved upward by nearly half an inch. In order to allow the scattered battle group to have the ability to cooperate in combat, Swain can be said to have worked hard.
In Demacia, Jarvan IV is secretly mobilizing the First and Third Legions in the North.
On the Noxus side, Swain also convened multiple war mage groups in addition to daily training, and prepared special magic circles in conjunction with Black Rose's actions.
According to the promise of the pale lady, these guys who went to die will be reborn as immortal warriors like Thane during the decisive battle, giving the Demacians a taste of the ambush from all sides!
As for the arrival of the Colossus of Justice, Swain had fully anticipated it - in the past, the Noxians suffered too much from Galio, and the mage group that was defeated by this guy was almost killed by one hand.
I lost count. Although there was news that the thing was in the north and not in Tobitsia, Swain was as cautious as ever and had prepared a special plan for Galio.
Under Swain's orders and training, the war mage group gave up the seemingly easiest and most easy-to-use spell bombing, and instead used more small-scale, indirect spells to affect the battle situation. Galio must not be given a chance.
It's better to not even have the chance to recharge when you're full of magic power and then punch hard, and just let it sit there and become a statue.
In addition, because he has a good understanding of the terrain, Swain has also prepared a blocking strategy for the Northern Army and the Green Teeth Army. Once it is discovered that the Demacian Border Army has the intention of outflanking, the blocking team will directly attack at the dangerous point.
He stopped it everywhere and issued a signal to Tobitsia Fortress.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As for Tobitsia, as soon as it receives the blocking signal, it will immediately turn around and eat the enemy's active forces first. With Tobitsia Fortress guarding it, the main force of Demacia will go
Support is to encircle the point and call for reinforcements. If the main force of Demacia wants to attack the Tobitsia Fortress, besiege Wei and rescue Zhao, they will not be allowed to do so!
In addition, Swain also came up with effective countermeasures against Jarvan IV's morale blow. Although it seemed embarrassing that Noxus was killing scouts every day, Swain was still unable to reveal to all the soldiers about the Ten Faces.
Although there was no news of the ambush, he was able to keep the Noxian soldiers motivated to fight through fair competition and rewards.
Under Swain's leadership, the military achievements of Noxus were thoroughly detailed. In addition to the common achievements of annihilating enemies and occupying the enemy, merits were recorded for raising the earth dragon lizard, transporting food for 10,000 miles without mistakes, and recording military equipment.
High production qualification rate will be recorded as merit, and outstanding training performance will be recorded as merit...
Thanks to the cleanup of the military aristocracy in the previous civil war, after these meritorious deeds are accumulated to a certain extent, they can be actually exchanged for medals representing status, and even further, they can be exchanged for knighthoods!
In the past, being able to fight was the most direct way to get ahead in Noxus. Now, as long as you perform your duties according to Swain's orders, you can still get ahead even if you can't fight!
Through this eclectic form in the current Runeterra, Swain has greatly ensured the morale of his soldiers and the supply of materials under long-distance supply conditions. When Jarvan IV is waiting for the Colossus of Justice
Arriving, waiting for the Northern Army to complete the outflank, when the entire army would attack and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop, inside Tobitsia Fortress, Swain also looked at the military map and carefully confirmed the preparations for each ambush.
Jarvan IV believed that the war plane was coming, and he was about to take the initiative to completely eliminate the Noxian invaders.
Swain also believed that the opportunity to fight was about to come, and his opponent would soon think that he had a chance to win, so he would rashly attack and fall into his own plan.
