On the third day of staying at the Fearless Vanguard Camp, Tiana's herald sent a secret order.
"The attack is about to begin."
Chai Anping met all the generals of the Fearless Pioneer Battalion that day. Galen sat in the chief position and said to everyone.
"Marshal Tiana will use the First and Third Kingdom armies to cooperate with the Shield Army to lure them frontally, and our task is to arrive at the designated location under the cover of night and wait for the order to launch a total attack at dawn."
"With only infantry as a lure, will the people of Noxus be fooled?" someone asked.
"Marshal Tiana is trying to prevent the cavalry from being exposed too much, and has taken the initiative to have a cavalry regiment appear along the southern mountain range. The Noxians must have gotten this information."
If Noxus chooses to send an army to attack this cavalry, they will encounter an ambush from another army.
"And these Noxians have a wolf cavalry, so they will definitely not worry too much about our cavalry."
In fact, in order to swallow the Noxian troops who fell into her pocket, Tiana had made far more preparations than this. She had been conducting trials and deceptions on the battlefield for several days.
Galen planned the route of the night march in detail with everyone. Night marches require very high quality of the army, and the Fearless Vanguard naturally does not have this problem.
The serious military meeting lasted for several hours, including various military tasks and plans of the friendly forces on the battlefield. The higher the level of the troops, the more battlefield information they need to master. For example, the first and third kingdom armies received
The only task may be to attack the enemy head-on.
This also means that Galen has higher flexibility on the battlefield. In addition to completing his own tasks, he can also assess the situation and let the Dauntless Vanguard make his own judgment.
After the meeting was dissolved, the generals went back and ordered them to pack their bags.
Chai Anping also summoned the core of Steel Wings to inform them of the marching mission, and two perception mages would shoulder the mission of sensing during the night march.
Their abilities can also make this mission more secure.
In the evening, the Intrepid Pioneer Camp had an earlier dinner time and reduced the amount of liquid food.
After drinking too much liquid food and riding around on horseback all night, no matter how fierce a warrior is, he probably won't have much fighting power left.
After nightfall, on the vast plains, cavalrymen pierced out like sharp arrows. The people and horses were very silent to avoid increasing the possibility of exposing their actions.
The elite team of Steel Wings is in the middle of the team, and two perception mages have accompanied the scouts to set off in advance to ensure the safety of the marching route.
The marching speed of the team is not fast, otherwise the horses will drag people along and they will not have the energy to charge before the next day.
Chai Anping followed Lux closely. The girl's equestrian skills were not superb, and she still seemed a bit awkward in such a large-scale march, so she needed Chai Anping's help from time to time.
However, as a descendant of the Crownguard family, Lux did not complain about the hardships in the military camp for several days.
The night gradually deepened, and the weather on the plain was gloomy. Dark clouds blocked the moon, making it dark even for the troops to look into the flat distance.
The torrent of steel was silent and solemn. The elite team, which was still a little excited at first, faced these elites and began to quickly learn how to become a qualified soldier.
Even in three days of training, they have been able to defeat most people. But now, the respect these young people should have for the fearless pioneers has emerged again.
"Boom——"
During the silent march, suddenly there was a loud rumbling explosion in the distant sky. Everyone looked at the sound and saw that the sky over there was soon dyed red by the firelight on the ground, and the roars of hundreds of thousands of people were drowned by the strong wind.
Sent over.
"The frontal battlefield has begun." Someone whispered.
Soon, Galen ordered to slightly adjust the direction of the team.
If the first and third kingdom armies can attract enough enemies, then this frontal attack will be enough to last until dawn!
…
On the frontal battlefield, the various Noxian legions that had simply reached a common understanding could not wait to pounce on the Demacia legions that were slowly advancing on the grassland.
The army, whose main color is black, is like spilled ink, with the belligerent demihuman race at the forefront.
Many of these races are over three meters tall, and some even wear simply sewn linen clothes, and hold huge solid wood war hammers or huge serrated war blades in their hands.
Behind these little giants are the legions using crescent scimitars. The number of this legion is very large. Their facial bones are somewhat different from humans. Their nasal bones are longer, their jaws are wide and short, and their skin is lavender.
They are small in stature but very agile when running.
Therefore, they were called the "Goblin Tribe" by Noxus, and their original clan name was "Vali Buka", which in their ancient language means people who believe in the moon.
"Come on, big guy!"
They used the cover of the little giant to rush into Demacia's shield formation.
The scimitar wiped away the armor joints flexibly and insidiously.
Behind the two legions are the real elites of Noxus. They are tall and numerous, wearing sophisticated standard equipment and with emblems on their chests symbolizing allegiance to the Trilifar Council.
Among the elite, there are legions using various weapons.
Because there was no unified marshal under the command, this huge army only launched the charge in a rough order, relying on their past tacit understanding to avoid the mistake of squeezing their own people on the battlefield.
Of course, in their opinion, with the number of people on the battlefield of Demacia, the Legion's several rotational charges are enough to defeat it!
"Tell these arrogant Demacians to go back and plant vegetables!"
Arrow feathers stained with flames pierced the night sky, and the war equipment behind the army began to throw huge stones and kerosene barrels.
The flag became the first thing to be ignited. The red striped flag of Noxus and the gold-edged blue flag of Demacia were burning brightly. Under the high royal flag, the warriors of both sides were already mingling, and the sound of weapons clashing became the battlefield.
The only main theme.
Demacia's iron can-like armor reflected the firelight, and everyone's expression became ferocious, wishing they could drink the blood of their enemies.
"Ho~!"
The little giants waved their huge weapons wildly, but Demacia's shield formation was like a majestic city wall, blocking all the attacks of these monsters. Sharp long swords came out one after another to cut off the little giants' feet or tendons.
If the nearly three-meter-tall little giant wasn't blocked by a shield, once it rushed into Demacia's team, it would cause horrific damage in an instant.
But after Tiana learned about the existence of this army, their value was weakened to the lowest!
The little giants fell down one after another, and when they fell, they would tremble slightly when they hit the ground.
But soon, those nimble little devils climbed on the shoulders of the little giant one by one, and then jumped over the tall shield and rushed into the shield array.
"kill!!!"
The machete collided violently with the long sword and the dagger, blood spattered, and the thick and smelly blood gradually seeped into the barren soil.
The brutal charge did not scare off any party.
The Demacia side skillfully replaced their panting and bloody companions, and the Noxians began to prepare for the second wave of charge formations.
"Have you found any Demacian cavalry?" the Noxian general behind asked.
"not yet."
"Huh, if you want to use cavalry to charge and disrupt our formation, I want to see who is the fisherman."
Because of the dragon birds in the sky, a large number of scouts wandering the wilderness were captured and killed, which greatly restricted their field of vision, but this did not prevent the Noxian generals from guessing Tiana's plan.
"Ha, after all... we have more than just a troop of wolf cavalry!"
…
Fighting late at night is torture for anyone.
The only light sources on the battlefield were the burning kerosene and the corpses lying nearby, which would greatly interfere with the commander's judgment and add a lot of trouble to a loose legion like Noxus.
A few hours later, the Demasi First and Third Kingdom armies, in conjunction with the temporarily coordinated shield army, had all rotated through.
Over ten thousand comrades have fallen on the ground, and Noxus has also paid a heavy price. In order to break through the shield formation and cause effective damage to Demacia, nearly two-thirds of the Goblin legion has been lost.
The little giants were almost completely destroyed.
The battle loss ratio between the two sides was more than one to four!
All the soldiers' eyes were bloodshot and red. Whether it was due to the murderous intention or the stimulation of the black smoke spreading on the battlefield, the commander's instructions began to lag to varying degrees.
This was a sign that the warriors had no time to pay attention to their surroundings. If they continued to fight in this state, the battle loss ratio between the two sides would begin to shrink. After all, Noxus had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers.
"It's almost time to take action..." The Noxian general immediately ordered the cavalry ambushing behind to prepare. Now is a good opportunity to gradually encroach on these infantry, and he will not allow anyone to disrupt the situation!
Sure enough, Tiana did not sit back and watch the two legions on the battlefield get into trouble. Following her order, two cavalry companies that had been waiting outside the battlefield rushed toward the battlefield.
"Xilulu——!"
The passionate roar of the war horses swept away the silence of the latent people.
"All cavalry out!!!"
On the other side of the battlefield, the Noxian general who anticipated this scene immediately gave orders excitedly.
These two cavalrymen are destined to become his treasure!
"Let the entire army press forward, completely surround Demacia's infantry, and don't give them any chance to retreat. The wolf cavalry... keep these cavalry out!"
After the two cavalrymen from Demacia appeared, the Noxian wolf cavalry stormed out from behind at nearly twice the speed.
If the Demacia cavalry still insists on charging into the formation, they will be torn to pieces by the wolf cavalry!
In addition to the wolf cavalry, three hidden cavalry groups rushed out.
This is the true number of cavalry Noxus has!
Although it does not have the suppressive power of the Wolf Rider, it is undoubtedly Noxus' elite unit.
"Have all the cavalry been dispatched?" Tiana raised a smile without warmth at the corner of her mouth: "The opponent's commander is only at this level..."
She naturally knew the true hidden strength of Noxus. Now she was just trying to see if she could lure out the opponent's wolf rider, and also to see what kind of level the opponent's commander had.
"Dawn is coming soon..."
She looked towards the end of the plain from a distance, where a faint hint of white appeared.
Looking at her current position again, she has actually brought the entire coordinating military department to the front line!
Moreover, there are endless tents stationed around the military headquarters, which are the main forces of Demacia arriving one after another!
"It's also thanks to Gracie that he caught the top brass of the Masons and eliminated the domestic spies in one fell swoop. Otherwise, I'm afraid this Noxian army would not dare to fight so directly."
Under the influence of various factors, the first collision between the two countries started with such a strange prelude.
"Such a great gift will surely surprise the three guys in the Supreme Council."
The rising sun began to cast warm sunshine onto the plains. The white light shone on the face of the soldier standing on the battlefield. He was panting violently, and his breath mixed with the early morning frost in the wilderness and turned into white air.
at the same time--
A red signal arrow was launched into the sky from the crossbow bed. During flight, the arrow made a shrill sound.
Countless kingdom banners were raised.
Countless swords were pulled out of their sheaths at this moment.
On the vast plain, the sound of iron hooves shook the entire battlefield again.
The surging torrent of steel rushed out from the dark low hills, and the blue flag symbolizing Demacia swayed in the wind.
