Before the official exchange of fire, the two sides in the Naslam American Battle first exchanged words.
The Demacian side stated righteously that some looters had adopted despicable ambush tactics and robbed the wealth belonging to the empire, and these items appeared in the market of Nasramea and were sold by the authorities, so it was obvious
, the Nashilamis are despicable ambushers.
Therefore, this time Demacia's troops are sent to attack the bandits. If Nasramei wants to sever ties with the despicable bandits, then hand over the people involved and welcome the Demacia investigation team to settle in. We Demacia
The empire will definitely give you justice.
Nashrami retorted and said, "Who the hell knows what the treasure in your mouth is? If you call it, will it agree to you?"
Moreover, what kind of thing is Demacia? A group of hicks with no history, no inheritance, and no strength, are they worthy of claiming an empire?
There is only one empire in Runeterra, and that is the great Shurima Empire. Even if the throne is upside down now, it will not be the Demacians' turn to take the crown!
It can be seen that both sides want to seize the moral high ground, but when it comes to speaking out, it can only be that you say yours and I say mine. In the end, it simply turns into a shouting contest with louder voices.
Of course, while shouting and shouting, both sides are also fully prepared for war.
A plume of thick smoke rose from the Demacian position.
There was no wind today, and the sky in Nashrame was cloudless. When they saw the Demacians lighting fires and making smoke, and making sure that the smoke would not obscure the view of the city wall, the soldiers in Nasrame began to laugh loudly.
However, within the Demacia position, the Demacia soldiers remained unmoved.
This thick smoke is not for siege or to obscure the view.
Their meaning is to lead the way.
Guide the direction for the dragon and bird knights who are about to arrive.
Yes, although they did not move with the large army, the Dragon Bird Knight also came to the battlefield.
These dragon and bird knights are carefully selected and sent from the sea - although the coast near Nasramei is relatively steep and full of rocks, which cannot be used for troops to land, but for the dragon and bird knights, this is not a problem
.
While Jarvan IV was marching with the vanguard, the dragonfowl and dragonfowl knights who were not seasick also took the transport ship along the Valoran Strait and arrived at the waters northwest of Nasramae.
The transport ship anchored in a bay about twenty nautical miles away from Nashrame. When the appointed time came, the dragon birds finally reluctantly left the awning and came to the deck with the appeasement of the knights.
, ready to take off.
It's not that the dragon birds are having a bad temper, it's that they just don't adapt to the environment here.
For the dragonfowl living in northern Demacia, the climate conditions in the area near Nasramai are too hot and unbearable. Even on the sea, they need to land in the shade to rest after flying for two or three hours.
Replenish moisture.
And if there are people on their backs, their take-off time will need to be doubled. In order to reduce the burden on the dragon birds as much as possible, the dragon bird knights have chosen to wear light clothes instead of armor.
With the DEBUFF of [Weather Discomfort] hanging on his head, the omnipotent Dragon Knight in Demacia has now completely degenerated into a short-distance flying reconnaissance unit.
After getting ready, the five-man Dragon Bird Knight finally ejected on the deck and flew towards the direction of the billowing smoke.
With the vanguard troops arrayed in front, the Dragon Bird Knight can fly around the city and take the opportunity to figure out the defense situation in the city!
More than a quarter of an hour later, amid the doubts of the Nasramei defenders, the Dragon Bird Knights arrived in the sky above Nasramei, dispersed in tacit agreement, and began to fly around the city.
As the dragon bird's flight gradually stabilized, the knight on the dragon bird's back took out the civilian version of the Hex telescope and began to search for the main military facilities in Nasramei City from a high position.
The Naslamei defenders, who had never expected that there would be such a group, were anxious and angry. They hurriedly organized archers to try to bend their bows and shoot the dragons and birds. But it was a pity that the weather was so good today and the vision was good.
The dragon bird knights can raise their flying height at will - at an altitude of three thousand meters, even if the Nashramei defenders mobilized the most elite shooters, there is nothing they can do against these dragon bird knights.
At this altitude, only some of Vazuan's one-time long-range weapons can threaten the Dragon Bird Knight.
But these weapons are not for sale by Vazuan, not Nashrame!
In desperation, Nasramei had no choice but to start raising thick smoke in a hurry, hoping to interfere with Longqin's investigation.
Unfortunately, by the time they got rid of the smoke, the Dragon Bird Knight had completed the reconnaissance mission and started to return.
What's even more annoying is that among the Dragon Bird Knight team, the one with the most superb flying skills even took the initiative to swoop down, then suddenly stopped hundreds of meters above the ground, and then unfurled a Demacia flag, and then cast
Shiranly changed direction and returned the same way.
After a lot of fighting, the defenders of Nasramei were so angry that they had brain congestion.
Dragon Bird Knight investigation, great success!
The Dragon Birds who returned to the deck quickly retracted into the awning and began to rest and drink water. The Dragon Bird Knight's attendants also came over with combs and gloves to relax these heroes.
After landing on the ground, the Dragon Bird Knight had no time to comfort his companions, so he hurriedly gathered in front of a map of Nasramei and began to discuss it word by word.
Combining the information that everyone saw and recorded, they spent two hours marking out the locations of the military buildings in Nasramei City that could be determined, including military camps and warehouses, which looked like command posts.
suspicious building.
Then, the leader of the team rolled up the drawing, put it away in the drawing tube, sealed it with paint, and handed it to the dragon bird knight in the flying team who had not participated in flying before.
After receiving the blueprint, the dragon bird knight came to the deck, got on his dragon bird companion, ejected, and headed straight for the Demacia camp with the map.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Soon, Jarvan IV got the top-down defense map of the city he wanted.
Although this map is not accurate, and the scale is a mess, and most of the annotations can only be estimated based on the landmark buildings in the city of Nashrame, it is still of great significance to Jarvan IV.
With this map, he can find the weaknesses in the defense system of Nasramei City Wall!
After all... even if Nasramei has enough soldiers to garrison each section of the city wall, the distances between the forts where the soldiers rest will be different from different city walls, and the time for mobilizing soldiers and activating defensive equipment will not be exactly the same.
With the help of this defense map, Jarvan IV has the confidence to make more correct choices!
After getting this picture, Jarvan IV simply ordered the troops to return to the camp. The main purpose of setting up a battle today was to have a chat, show off the power of the army, and also to cover the Dragon Bird Knight's reconnaissance.
Siege?
Jarvan IV is very patient on the battlefield!
……………………
Jarvan IV understood the significance of the defense map.
In Nasramei City, Blake also knew this very well.
The location of military facilities in the city is kept secret, making them easier to mobilize. This is an advantage in defending the city.
But now this advantage is about to be wiped out - it can be seen from the decisive retreat of the Demacians today that they are very patient, so they continue to investigate this kind of thing for three to five days in a row.
I'm afraid it's totally possible.
At the same time, the Demacian military camp outside the city is also being reinforced. Although there is no wood for construction in the oasis near Nasramei, these Demacians are quite patient. They are even digging underground.
Stones were used to build forts, seemingly without regard to the difficulty of maintaining supplies due to their long distances.
Why?
Where does this confidence come from?
Blake was confused.
Although there is a sea between Shurima and Demacia, and the news is not smooth, he at least knew the situation of the Battle of Tobitsia in advance-this battle destroyed the Noxus Empire, so Black was interested in it.
Still did some research.
From what he knew, Jarvan IV's performance in the Battle of Tobitsia was perfect. Although he was young, he was very patient and accumulated his own advantages; similarly, at critical moments,
Jarvan IV did not hesitate. When it was time to charge in person, he put on his armor and attacked Swain directly.
It was precisely because he understood the situation of the Battle of Tobitsia that Blake chose to defend the city cautiously and not engage in all these bells and whistles with you.
But now, Jarvan IV appeared to be even more fearless than Black. Even though he had traveled across the desert, and his logistics supplies relied heavily on thousands of miles of transportation, he still formed a stronghold and defended the city, as if he had made up his mind to besiege the city.
Is it prudent?
Or are you confident?
Blake frowned.
After instructing the adjutant to hang up the map, Black's eyes fell on the map that was many times more detailed than Jarvan IV's hand.
There is no problem with the defense within the city. Even if the layout is seen through, the deployment is very smooth. Relying on the city wall defense, Black does not think that the opponent can take advantage.
In terms of ports, the eastward routes are very smooth, the connection with Karduga and Kumangla has not been cut off, and the supplies in Nasramei are very abundant; moreover, the ports that have been completely placed under military control are not in danger of being attacked by Germany.
The shipping carriers of the Marcians are fine for delivering goods, but if they want to land and fight, they are courting death.
In this situation, what are the Demacians thinking?
Blake thought for a long time, but had no clue. In the end, he could only shake his head gently and remain unchanged in response to all changes.
However, before that, maybe I need to get rid of those pesky flies first.
Blake hated those guys who snooped on him.
……………………
The next day, Nashrame seemed to be trapped in a strange reincarnation.
Demacia and Nashrame started another scolding war. It was still you who scolded you and I scolded mine. Then the Demacian Dragon Bird Knight flew over Nasramae again, and then Demacia
The men took the troops back to camp.
The war seemed to be developing in a strange direction. For five days in a row, the Demacians were just conducting reconnaissance, with no intention of taking action themselves, not even a tentative attack!
On the sixth day, the second batch of Demacian troops arrived at the oasis outside the city of Naschram. Jarvan IV handed over the command of the vanguard army to Galen, and then he personally led the main force to move the camp and stationed it in Naschram.
South of Shlamei.
During this period, Black also thought about whether to go out of the city to rush for a wave, but after much deliberation, he decided to forget it - if he endured it for a while, when his support arrived, he would definitely make those Demacia people look good!
Starting from the seventh day, the war seemed to be returning to its original cycle.
However, what was different from before was that the familiar Dragon Bird Knight was finally hit after arriving in the sky above Nasramei.
Three elemental dragons, which are small in size but well adapted to the desert climate, took off from the city wall and began to chase the dragon bird knights.
This time it was the Demacians' turn to be caught off guard - in the past, the Demacians had always had absolute air supremacy, and they never expected that there would be a more terrifying existence on Nasramei's side.
If the dragon bird knights wear armor and carry lances, then with cooperation, they may be able to compete with these elemental dragons.
But the problem is, in order to reduce the burden on the dragon birds and prevent them from being overloaded, the dragon bird knights do not wear armor or carry lances!
The result is that in front of the violent elemental dragon, the dragon bird knight can only control the dragon bird and try to escape.
Then, the dragon bird knights who had little experience in air combat - or rather, the dragon birds - made a big mistake. When their own side had an absolute speed advantage, they did not return to Demacia's position as soon as possible.
They rushed to the sea in a panic, followed the instinct of the beasts, and chose to return to the transport ship that they regarded as their nest!
In this case, it is naturally impossible for the elemental dragons to give up their prey. They chase after them one after another. Even if the dragon bird knight lands back on the ship, they still won't let go!
Dragon fire fell from the sky and quickly ignited the sails and decks of the ship.
On the transport ship carrying the Dragon Bird Knight, a fire broke out. The sailors panicked and tried to resist the attack of the elemental dragon with their weapons, while they hurriedly extinguished the fire, but the result was unfavorable to both sides.
It wasn't until the armored Dragon Bird Knight picked up his lance and took off again that he could barely repel the elemental dragon by relying on his numerical advantage.
But as a price, one of the ten dragon birds on the transport ship died on the spot, and the knight fell to death; three were seriously injured. Considering the harsh climate here, it is still unknown whether they can survive in the future.
Moreover, since the sail of the transport ship was completely burned, the spare sail was also ignited, and the hull was slightly shattered, the excess supplies had to be discarded immediately, and the ship had to turn around and return to Uzeris as soon as possible.
The Dragon Bird Knight's investigation was interrupted. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the military facilities in Nasramei City began to move on a small scale.
Demacia's first batch of offensives were all neutralized.
However, after hearing a series of bad news, Jarvan IV, who was in the south of the city of Nashrame, still looked calm and calm.
Because compared to the bad news, there is good news on his side.
Tariq has found the secret passage beneath Nashrame.
