Communication between the Frostguard Priests and the Intelligence Team has begun.
This exchange seemed a little too enthusiastic, so much so that before Forcalodna's army officially set off, many tribes were already in a state of panic.
However, this situation did not last long.
It was not because the conflict between the two sides had subsided, but because Focalodna's army finally officially sent out troops after more than two months of pre-war preparations.
Compared with the situation that was hastily united together before, the trained coalition now looks more like a whole - although the weapons in the hands of Avarosa warriors are still varied, at least they now have relatively unified uniforms
Waistcoat.
Even if they don't line up like the Demacia Northern Expedition when marching, at least they can tell at a glance that they are a group of people, a collective.
When the coalition forces were officially dispatched, in the sky, the joint air force composed of elemental dragons, snow sculptures and snow owls had already fully controlled the air supremacy - there were many tribes who were loyal to the Frost Guard tribe and still believed in the Frost Witch.
It soon became a blind man who could not communicate with each other. With snow eagles and snow owls responsible for day and night reconnaissance, and elemental dragons patrolling, it became very difficult to send messages even in the wide plains.
On this basis, the coalition visited tribes one by one with great enthusiasm, and tried to impress them with their reasoning and emotions. After some in-depth thinking, the war mothers of most tribes would repent and turn from darkness to light.
Of course, there are also people who are stubborn and stubborn. When faced with such people, the coalition usually gives the opposing war mother two choices.
You can have a duel with Ashe, or a duel with Lux.
No matter which one the opponent's war mother chooses, the result will be the same.
After the duel, even if they tried to resist, the morale of the entire tribe would have plummeted. Coupled with the professional siege troops, it would be difficult for any tribe stronghold to carry out effective defense, and it would often only take an afternoon to end the battle.
In this way, after the coalition forces began to advance eastward, they were able to advance the front line hundreds of miles every day, and this was under the condition that Lux and Ashe deliberately controlled the speed of advancement and confirmed that the supply route was OK. During the entire process,
There are almost no tribes or enemies that can cause trouble to the coalition forces.
It moves like thunder.
On the other hand, the Frostguard tribe obviously could not sit back and watch the coalition advance the front line so easily under their noses. Just because the intelligence team had the upper hand, Lissandra had to send out many capable men to stabilize the situation.
Only the hearts of the people in key positions are good, so in terms of response, the response was a little slow.
Of course, Lissandra's slow response is also related to absorbing the power of Volibear - Lissandra, who used to be rational and calm, can now barely suppress the anger rising in her heart, which makes Lissandra have to do something
Be more cautious and cautious when making decisions.
She needs to reflect on herself all the time to avoid being overwhelmed by anger and making unnecessary choices and decisions, which greatly reduces Lissandra's decision-making efficiency.
This anger comes from Volibear, specifically from the Lost Believers of Volibear. Although Lissandra also "inherited" some of the Lost Believers, they are only one of the huge Lost Believers.
To a small extent, although anger has had a lot of impact on Lissandra, it is generally controllable.
After realizing the existence of this anger, Lissandra herself also consciously controlled it. Almost on the fifth day after the coalition forces marched eastward, she finally managed to make the emergence of this anger traceable.
At the same time, she finally took control of the thunder that had always been "unruly" before. The frost witch finally no longer had an eye-catching arc around her, but her frost magic had a fatal paralysis effect.
This means that Lissandra is finally fully prepared to deal with a war and even take action herself.
At this time, the coalition forces were still moving steadily eastward.
Lissandra, who finally had her hands free, clearly outlined the trajectory of the coalition forces' actions after jumping to several dreams in a row.
Without any map, the entire Freljord terrain unfolded completely in Lissandra's mind. By connecting these dreams as base points, she could easily determine the purpose of Avarosan and the Demacians.
land.
Iron Thorn Mountains.
After realizing this, Lissandra raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing an elegant and calm smile.
A very smart decision. I heard that the Noxians have had their backs broken. That is the dividing point between Freljord and Valoran. Facing the cold winter that will come soon, the Ironthorn Mountains look like
It is indeed a good place to hibernate.
Even if the raiders take the initiative to cut off their supplies in winter, they can rely on their own food reserves to re-establish a transportation line in Valoran.
No matter how you look at it, this is a sound and problem-free decision.
Unfortunately, the biggest problem with sound decisions is that there are no surprises and no surprises.
Avarosans and Demacians seem to have forgotten that the northern foothills of the Iron Thorn Mountains are still controlled by the Frostguard tribe. How could Lissandra let them easily reveal their destination so unabashedly?
As you wish?
Why are you allowed to enter the Iron Thorn Mountains to spend the winter smoothly?
Although the Varrocan family's fire destroyed the dug forts in the Iron Thorn Mountains, turning those permanent fortifications into ruins, leaving any defenders relying on the Iron Thorn Mountains without towering walls and complete
fortifications, but the dangerous terrain of the Iron Thorn Mountains will not be destroyed by a fire.
As long as it is restored, the Iron Thorn Mountains will still be the barrier that the Noxus Empire used to defend the north.
What, you said that a fort destroyed by fire would be difficult to repair?
Yes, for the Noxians, if they want to repair the Diver Fort in the Iron Thorn Mountains, they may have to dispatch a large number of civilians and engineers, but for Lissandra, if they want to repair the fortress to the point where it can be used,
, not as complicated as the Noxians.
After all...winter is coming soon!
……………………
Thanks to the presence of the air force, the coalition's reconnaissance scope has always been very large.
The snow sculptures on the day shift, the snow owls on the night shift, and the elemental dragons on the third shift. The coalition forces can be said to know all the troubles within at least 200 miles.
On the ground, the coalition's advance was also very stable. They advanced to Nerzayag in twenty days. If they continue at this efficiency, they will be able to reach Fort Diver in less than a month, in time for the coming of winter.
I went into the Iron Thorn Mountains to spend the winter before!
However, at this time, the raiders of East Freljord finally took action.
These legendary marauders, who are inextricably linked to Lissandra, made a big circle when the coalition forces captured Nerzayag and ran to the Pujirati Pass in an attempt to harass the coalition forces' baggage.
Team.
Although these guys cunningly chose to operate at night, trying to avoid the detection of snow eagles and catching the heavy train by surprise, they obviously did not expect that the wealthy Demacians had tamed a large number of Forre's animals in order to maintain nighttime aerial reconnaissance.
The Snowy Owl is regarded as a waste by the Zhuo De people.
These guys are good at eating, and their acumen at night has indeed helped the coalition forces a lot - after noticing the raiders' actions, the coalition forces responded quickly and immediately mobilized mobile troops, together with the elemental dragons,
An ambush was set up at the Pujirati Pass first.
Therefore, when the plunderers who thought they had successfully infiltrated Chencang arrived at the Pujirati Pass and were preparing to find a location to ambush the Allied forces' convoy, they were ambushed by the Allied forces first.
When the fighting broke out, although the looters were a little surprised, they didn't panic.
Night fighting is the specialty of the marauders. They are accustomed to ambush and harass the enemy under the cover of night. The marauders riding Jukar and Enuk come and go like the wind, even if they are three times their size.
Even with a large number of enemies, it is difficult to win in a dark chaotic battle; even if they lose, without ten times their number of enemies, it is impossible to achieve an annihilation effect.
In a hurry, the coalition forces that had just captured Nerzayag, how many people could be mobilized for mobile defense at this time?
We dispatched two thousand brothers, all of them cavalry!
Under normal circumstances, any Freljord army really has no way to deal with these guys, but if the Demacia Northern Expedition is added, things will become different.
Just when the looters were planning to fight back on the spot, the Northern Expeditionary Army lit up the sky.
It is difficult to describe the expressions of the marauders when they saw the magic fireworks in the sky. They were shocked and disbelieving. These marauders, who were accustomed to showing cruel expressions, did not look like ferocious direwolves at this time, but rather like inhuman beings.
A cowering lamb.
Especially after the figures of many elemental dragons appeared in the lighted sky.
Although the marauders are not all pure melee units, and many of them have excellent throwing or net-throwing skills, these long-range attack methods are obviously not enough when facing the elemental dragon in the sky.
When the elemental dragon swooped down and created a trail of frost with its fierce attack, all these marauders could do was urge Ernuk or Jukar on their crotches to run away.
But it's a pity that this is the Pujirati Pass, which was selected by the marauders in advance as a place to ambush the coalition's convoy. The most important factor in being an ambush point is that it is not so easy to escape.
As the coalition's ground mobile forces blocked the east side of the mountain pass, it seemed to the looters that the only way to escape was by running west.
But the west side... is now completely under the control of the coalition forces. To the west at this time, it is just a matter of drinking poison to quench thirst. As long as the coalition forces keep chasing behind them, it won't take long for the plunderers to completely collapse and then be easily annihilated.
.
As a professional army, the marauders' choice at this time should be to head east with all their strength, and use the impact of the cavalry to open a path despite the breath of the elemental dragon.
But it's a pity that they are not professional soldiers, but a group of plunderers.
The plunderer is invincible when it comes to chasing, killing and capturing, but once the situation turns against the wind, it will sell out and retreat without any hesitation.
Put yourself to death and survive?
Stop making trouble, no marauder would be willing to use his own life to clear the way for his companions.
So, almost at the moment they realized that the situation was not good, most of the looters made the choice that was most beneficial to them - run westward!
Although the west side is controlled by the coalition forces, if that is not possible, you can still enter the Longji Mountains!
At this time, forcing a breakthrough to the east can only be self-sacrifice!
The shortcomings of the marauders were exposed at this moment. As they made the decision that was most beneficial to themselves but least beneficial to the whole, the subsequent battles of the coalition became simpler.
Chasing death and chasing north.
Supported by the air force, the follow-up mobile defense forces have been chasing after them. With no reliable stronghold, no response force, and many interceptors ahead, it is only a matter of time before this marauder cavalry is destroyed.
The Battle of Pujilati finally ended with a complete victory for the coalition forces. Except for a few hundred of the 3,000-strong Marauder Cavalry who abandoned their mounts and entered the Dragon's Back Mountains without being traced, most of them were annihilated.
On the battlefield.
Although Lux really wanted to keep some prisoners, it was a pity that neither the pursuing Avarosans nor the tribal troops who took the initiative to intercept would show any mercy when facing the marauders, let alone leave any prisoners behind.
Even a single prisoner—these plunderers who were accustomed to spreading fear and death—died within a hundred miles east of the Pujirati Pass.
The destruction of this raider was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Frostguard tribe.
Although Lissandra still has at least one Wolf Cavalry Marauder of similar size, they have stronger combat power and greater mobility, but they are far inferior in terms of impact power.
Moreover, mobile troops have always been a treasure. If they can annihilate these Erniuk and Jukar cavalry marauders, the pressure on the coalition's supply lines will be much less.
As a price, the coalition's Snow Owl reconnaissance was also completely exposed. As long as Lissandra was not stupid, she would not be able to rely on night infiltration and raids to win the battle. The coalition also lost an ambush point -
- Of course, no matter how you look at it, it’s not a loss to exchange the information from Snow Owl’s investigation for a team of Marauders.
When the news of the victory came, the coalition forces who had been marching for more than twenty days held a banquet in Nerzayag. Now they could finally stop temporarily and take a good breath.
However, just when everyone was in high spirits, a piece of information from the Air Force made both Lux and Ashe's expressions suddenly turn ugly.
This is the information sent back personally by Kalya who was riding an elemental dragon.
"In the Iron Thorn Mountains, on the former site of the Diver Fort, a brand new fortress made entirely of ice has been built." Kalya no longer looked like the fun-loving person he had been before, "Obviously, the Frost Witch
Your Excellency has not been idle either - even these plunderers may be bait to attract our attention."
