Runeterra: I really know a little bit about everything

Chapter 218 The first collision between the two legions! The girl who ran away!

The southern part of Valoran, at the junction of Demacia and Noxus.

The low and penetrating sound of war horns echoed continuously among the mountains, and a row of heavy ballistae had already been set up on the walls of the Gate of Sorrow.

Every Demacian soldier was staring at the plain below the city with vigilant eyes.

Not long ago, they had their first collision with the Noxian army, and the result was not what everyone expected. The Demacia side was defeated miserably. Without the timely arrival of the Dauntless Vanguard Chapter, the Gate of Sorrow would have been destroyed. Fall.

Now, even though the Noxian forces were briefly driven back, everyone knew they would come again.

And the next time they come back, they will no longer face the ordinary army of Noxus, but the Trifari Army led by Darius!

Ice-cold snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and the snowflakes accumulated, completely covering the ground covered with black blood scabs.

In this solemn atmosphere, dense figures began to appear on the white horizon.

And the moment these figures appeared, the alarm bell in the Gate of Sorrow also sounded.

Many figures instantly filled the city wall, each of them tightly clenching the weapons in their hands.

In the city, Galen held up the Judgment Sword in his hand. In front of him, nearly two thousand soldiers wearing bright silver armor, armed from feet to teeth, stood like sculptures.

Different from the panicked and helpless soldiers guarding the city around them, the expressions of these two thousand soldiers were extremely determined, and their expressions remained unchanged even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of them.

It is Demacia's strongest battle group - the Fearless Vanguard!

The Fearless Vanguard Chapter consists of sixteen companies, each company has sixteen shield formations, and each shield formation has eight soldiers. Each soldier has a powerful individual combat capability that can equal one to a hundred.

Since the establishment of the Dauntless Vanguard Chapter, it has always been at full strength. Whenever there is a vacancy in the Chapter, the soldiers with the most outstanding abilities and qualities will be selected through internal transfer to fill them.

And this also means that the Fearless Vanguard Chapter has always been at the top level in the entire Demacia, and even the entire continent of Valoran.

Looking at the soldiers of the Fearless Vanguard in front of him, Galen, as the swordsman of the Fearless Vanguard, felt that his breathing was gradually becoming heavier. He could only relieve his emotional restlessness by constantly taking deep breaths.

From the time Tiana took over as the leader of the Fearless Vanguard Swordsman until now, Garen has been spending almost all the time with the soldiers of the Fearless Vanguard.

He has commanded the Dauntless Vanguard to victory in war after war, and now, the Dauntless Vanguard will face the most powerful enemy in history.

The strongest legion in Noxus - the Trefari Legion!

And he will also face the Noxian general whose achievements are comparable to those of his aunt - Darius!

Galen is not afraid of this war. On the contrary, Galen will lead the Fearless Vanguard to completely break off Noxus' sharpest fangs!

In front of the Gate of Sorrow, the sound of uniform footsteps and the sound of armor clashing overlapped, and the Noxian army appeared in front of the Gate of Sorrow.

At the forefront of the army, Darius and his Trifali Army led the way, with Darius standing at the forefront of the army.

Behind him on both sides, the burly Captain Farong holding a warhammer and the Glory Seeker holding a sword on the other side closely guarded everything about the general.

Different from the bright silver armor of the Dauntless Vanguard Chapter, most of the armor of the Trefari Legion is black, and there is also a double-edged battle ax mark engraved on the chest.

That is the national emblem of the Noxus Empire, which is composed of the three elements of "force, foresight, and cunning". At the same time, it also represents the three most powerful people in the entire Noxus Empire-the three members of the Trifari Council!

On both sides of Trifari's army, military formations composed of elite Noxian troops were waiting for Darius's order.

Darius put the battle ax on his shoulder, and his eyes swept across the towering wall of the Gate of Sorrow in front of him, as well as the densely packed figures standing on the wall.

Slowly exhaling a mouthful of white mist, Darius clenched the battle ax in his hand, his expression extremely cold and resolute.

He pointed his ax at the towering walls of the Mourngate.

"Siege!"

"Woo~!"

The moment Darius finished speaking, a low and solemn trumpet sounded, instantly resounding throughout the entire Noxian army.

After the horn sounded, a large number of heavy siege vehicles were pushed out from both sides of Trifali's legion and crazily crashed towards the gate of the Gate of Sorrow.

After the siege engines, the catapults threw the rolling boulders straight towards the walls of the Gate of Sorrow.

Behind, the ladder troops are also waiting. After the first wave of catapult attacks, they will be dispatched to attack the Gate of Sorrow with the siege vehicles below!

Just as the Noxian side's offensive hit, the Demacia side also began to prevent the counterattack.

The rain of arrows from the sky was carried by the wind and snow, and came straight towards the Noxian army.

The heavy ballistae on the city wall was constantly emitting white smoke, and giant crossbow arrows bombarded the Noxian army below, greatly blocking the Noxian siege.

It seemed that the moment the siege horn sounded, the war completely entered a white-hot stage.

Finally, after paying a great price, the Noxian siege vehicle arrived under the city. Pushed by dozens of soldiers, the siege vehicle slammed into the dark gate of the Gate of Sorrow. .

"boom!"

Although the gate of the Gate of Sorrow was not broken, it still trembled a bit as if it was overwhelmed.

The siege engines retreated again, then crashed into the city gate again and again.

Outside, the ladder has been erected, and the Demacian soldiers on the city wall are doing everything they can to prevent the Noxian soldiers from climbing the city wall.

Darius and the Trefari Legion were always watching all this from behind, but Galen and the Dauntless Vanguard Chapter also did not choose to take action at this time.

They are our own last trump card, and we must not take action easily before the opponent takes action, otherwise we will instantly fall into a passive situation.

"Boom! Kaka!"

The Noxian siege vehicle hit the heavy city gate again, and an extremely eye-catching crack appeared on the city gate.

At this moment, the Noxian army once again launched a huge chariot that could be driven by dozens of people.

On top of the chariot, a huge cage made of countless thick blood stones stood majestically.

Beside the cage, the Bloody Madam and the Bloody Witch Doctor were constantly chanting strange spells.

As the bloody lines on the cage completely lit up, Darius nodded slightly toward the back.

"Crack!"

The door of the cage opened, and the figure in the cage was revealed to the entire battlefield.

It was a huge figure holding a giant axe, nearly five meters tall, and wearing a ferocious crown on his chin. The most eye-catching thing was undoubtedly the bloody furnace that was constantly emitting red light from his waist and abdomen!

The furnace was like the source of his power, constantly providing energy to his huge body.

Undead God of War—Sion!

With the opening of the cage, the war machine, which was dead but still resurrected by blood magic, woke up again.

Jumping out of the cage, Thane's eyes were a little confused at first, but with the whispers of the Bloody Lady and the Bloody Witch Doctor beside him, his eyes finally focused on the huge, almost broken gate of the Gate of Sorrow. .

"Come on!"

A loud and ear-splitting roar came from his mouth, and the bloody furnace in his waist and abdomen seemed to be completely ignited. Thain turned into an unstoppable siege chariot and rushed straight towards the city gate. .

His offensive made almost no distinction between friend and foe. As he rushed towards the city gate, even those Noxian soldiers who did not avoid it in time were crushed by him brutally.

Whenever someone dies in his hands, the rich blood energy will be absorbed by the furnace in his waist and abdomen, and his aura of power will become more terrifying.

"Fighting is fun!"

Thain roared, and his huge body hit the gate of the Gate of Sorrow with a force that was enough to break everything in the world.

"boom!"

Almost in an instant, the already overwhelmed city gate could no longer hold on and burst into pieces.

From the beginning of the siege until Thane appeared and completely smashed the city gate, every step of Noxus was compact and effective. This is the rich combat experience gained by this empire after hundreds of years of conquest.

The moment the city gate shattered, Noxian troops filed in and once again collided with the Demacia defenders inside the city.

At this point, Noxus has gained an extremely huge advantage.

After all, even forbidden blood magic creations like Thane have been put into the battlefield. One can imagine their determination to break through the Gate of Sorrow this time.

Galen and the soldiers of the Fearless Vanguard were watching this scene, and they knew that the Fearless Vanguard Chapter had to take action.

While the defenders had no fear of ordinary Noxian soldiers charging into the city, the war machine Thane was becoming uncontrollable.

If they don't stop them, countless people will die under Thane's giant axe.

"Fearless Vanguard Chapter!"

Galen's voice was loud and passionate, instantly ringing in the ears of the fearless vanguard soldiers.

"exist!"

A loud roar shot straight into the sky.

The great sword of judgment in Galen's hand slowly pointed in the direction of the city gate where Thain was:

"First Company, go kill that monster! Others"

Galen's voice paused slightly, and then he said in a deep voice:

"Follow me to fight against the Trifari Army!"

The uniform clash of armors sounded, and the entire Fearless Vanguard Group, a total of 2049 people including Galen, the swordsman leader, rushed towards the city gate.

Before arriving at the city gate, the fifteen companies of the Fearless Pioneers except the first company formed a military formation, and their bright silver shields and long swords were immediately raised.

On the other side, looking at the bright silver army rushing out from the city, Darius narrowed his eyes slightly.

His hand holding the black battle ax gradually tightened, while the Trifali Legion behind him was also staring at the Fearless Vanguard Battle Group ahead.

Darius slowly raised the battle ax in his hand, his red cloak was dancing in the wind, and he kept making "fierce" roars.

"kill!"

At this moment, violent fighting spirit soared into the sky, and the two top war groups in the entire Valoran continent collided at this time.

Unlike the Dauntless Vanguard Chapter, which uses shield formation as its basic unit, the Trefari Legion has more diverse arms. In addition to infantry, there are dragon lizard heavy cavalry and longbow archers.

However, in a battle with top battle groups such as the Dauntless Vanguard, the role of the longbow will be greatly reduced, so the number of shooters is also relatively rare, and the main arms are still powerful infantry who have experienced hundreds of battles.

Following the general's order, ten giant dragon lizards covered in black scales rushed out from the Trifali legion and rushed straight into the shield formation of the fearless vanguard, followed closely by the infantry.

Galen stood at the front of the team, holding the sword hilt of Judgment tightly, his eyes fixed on the dragon lizard charging towards him, and then his roar sounded again.

"All vanguards, prepare!"

As the dragon lizards approached, the sense of oppression brought by their huge size became stronger and stronger. The shield array of the Fearless Vanguard made a loud collision sound, and the shield array tightened. They stood side by side, bowing and raising their shields. In front of them, bright silver shields were lined up in rows.

The next moment, the dragon lizard's huge body collided with the shield array, and dozens of long swords rushed out from the shield array, heading straight for the dragon lizard's throat.

"boom!"

The shield formation belonging to the third company was directly dispersed, but the heavy cavalry on the dragon lizard was also pierced through the left shoulder by a bright silver sword.

The flaws in the shield formation provided a gap for the Trifali Legion's attack, and the infantry of the two armies immediately collided completely.

The shield array of the Fearless Vanguard Chapter changed again, wrapping the soldiers of the Trifali Legion who rushed into the shield array.

But at this moment, the huge meteor hammer hit the shield array in front of them with a harsh sound of breaking the wind. Captain Farong's huge body shrouded in iron armor and nearly three meters high appeared in front of everyone.

This staunch follower of Darius will do everything he can to once again win the war for Darius!

On the battlefield, the bright silver battle group and the black armored legion were clashing fiercely.

Each of them is a powerful warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles and can fight one against a hundred. On this battlefield, they will fight to the last moment for the glory of the empire and the chapter.

Next to him was the noisy and bloody battlefield, with snowflakes falling all over the sky. Tens of meters apart, the two eyes met together.

Galen, the fearless vanguard swordsman, and Darius, the general of the Trifari Legion, the two defenders of the empire rushed towards each other as if guided by fate.

"Darius, show me the true strength of the Hand of Noxus!"

"Garen, Demacia will eventually become a tributary of Noxus!" In front of the Gate of Sorrow, a fierce battle broke out between the Dauntless Vanguard and the Trefari Legion, but Thane in the city was also slaughtering everything in front of him unscrupulously. living person.

Zuo Chi and Lux ​​also arrived above the city at this time.

Looking at the tragic scene of the battlefield below, Lux jumped from the sky without hesitation. During the fall, violent magic began to surge around her. She raised the staff in her hand, and the ultimate flash went straight towards Thane. .

"Boom!"

Thain's huge body was knocked back, and the giant ax that was about to fall was also knocked away, but his body did not suffer any substantial damage.

The bloody furnace in his body was still burning brightly, and he had turned his head in the direction of Lux.

Landing on the ground, Lux held the staff tightly in her hand, and the turbulent sea of ​​light magic rose straight into the sky, completely illuminating the dark clouds.

Lux knew very well that on today's battlefield, it would be too difficult for her to stop a blood magic creature like Thane on her own.

But Noxus can use this kind of war weapon, can't Demacia also do it?

"Buzz!"

Just when Thain was about to rush in front of Lux, a huge golden hexagram formation suddenly appeared at Lux's feet.

Immediately afterwards, a huge figure fell from the sky and hit the battlefield in the city.

Previously, Galio was first dropped on the battlefield where the Noxian Mage Legion was located, where Galio, fully activated by Zuo Chi, played an extremely huge role.

Now, Galio will protect his friends and drive these invaders out of Demacia.

"Boom!"

Thain's huge body was instantly knocked out by Galio and smashed heavily into the ruins.

Immediately afterwards, Galio's war wind swept across, mercilessly wreaking havoc on the invaders ahead.

Thane once again burst out of the ruins and headed straight for Galio.

Although Thane cannot be Galio's opponent, with the blessing of blood magic, unless he is completely crushed, he will never stop rushing towards Galio.

In this way, Thane was restrained by Galio, and Lux ​​was finally able to find time to help the surrounding Demacia soldiers.

Her magic is released from her hands unscrupulously, the light shield protects her allies, and the extremely lethal thunder and fire attack the enemy mercilessly.

Suddenly blessed by magic, the soldiers all looked towards Lux with doubtful eyes. When they saw the little princess of the Crown Guard family, everyone had deep surprise on their faces.

They never expected that Lux, the daughter of the Crownguard family, would come to the front line if she didn't stay in the capital of Demacia!

But precisely because of this, the morale of the Demacia side is even stronger.

And under the powerful magic of Lux, the Noxian side began to show a defeated situation.

In the sky, Zuo Chi saw everything on the battlefield below. He was very curious about who would win between the Fearless Vanguard and the Trifali Legion.

The outcome of the victory or defeat between these two legions is the real leading factor in the current ownership of the Gate of Sorrow.

But Zuo Chi also knew that such a close battle could not end so quickly.

It may take many times to fight, and it may take a long time to fight until someone appears on one side who can change the situation of the battle.

There are too few situations where you just fight to the end and kill everyone, and that's not wise either.

So what if we win a tragic victory? How should we fight the subsequent war?

Now it seems that it may not be long before the battle inside the city comes to an end, and one of the two legions outside the city will choose to retreat temporarily.

It seems that the Trifali Legion has a higher chance of retreating. After all, the Demacia side has two abnormal existences, Lux and Galio, out of thin air.

Turning his eyes towards Thane, who was constantly colliding with Galio, Zuochi couldn't help but look curiously at the hand of the previous generation Noxus.

If Zuo Chi remembers correctly, the iron object on Thane's chin should be the crown of Jarvan I.

However, after seeing the blood magic of Aatrox and others, Thane's level of blood magic is really a bit messy.

It seems that Black Rose's blood magic craftsmanship is not mature enough, and even a puppet can be used to distinguish between friend and foe.

Lux had once again fought off the Noxian soldiers and was preparing to head outside the city to support Garen.

It was also at this time that Zuo Chi appeared behind her.

Noticing Zuo Chi's aura, Lux looked a little disappointed. She turned around and looked at Zuo Chi.

"Zuo Chi, are you leaving?"

Lux knew that Zuochi would not intervene in the current war between Noxus and Demacia, so it might be time for them to separate.

Zuo Chi nodded slightly, raised his hand gently, and once again touched the center of Lux's eyebrows with his fingers filled with golden light.

"Lux, my power will protect you when you are in danger."

"Although I really want to stay and see the outcome of the war, it may take a long, long time, so I won't stay any longer."

Lux held Zuo Chi's hand tightly, as if making a naughty joke, and she said softly:

"Zuo Chi, remember to come back to Demacia to see me, otherwise I will go to Freljord to find you! Then I will call Ashe and Kai'Sa to deal with you severely!"

Zuo Chi chuckled and nodded: "I remember."

"Be careful."

Finally, after touching Lux's head, Zuo Chi's body began to gradually rise into the air and fly towards the outside of the city.

Below, Lux, who was always pretending to be calm, watched Zuo Chi's figure disappear from his sight, and her eyes turned red after all.

However, the current situation did not allow her to hesitate too much. She had to support her brother.

The invaders who rushed into the city have been defeated. The next thing Demacia has to face is Cui Mana's army outside the city.

Raising her hands to rub her face, Lux was ready to run out of the city.

But at this moment, the low horn sound from the Noxian side sounded again.

As Zuo Chi expected, when the Noxian soldiers who rushed into the city were unable to capture the Gate of Sorrow in a short period of time, the only option the Noxian side had was to temporarily retreat.

"Oh!"

On the bloody battlefield, Galen's strong body flew out backwards and slid far on the ground before barely stopping. The surrounding fearless vanguard shield formation immediately protected Galen in the middle.

Opposite him, Darius looked down at Galen condescendingly. The black battle ax in his hand flashed coldly, and his eyes were full of coldness and solemnity.

It is true that Demacia's fledgling swordsman cannot compete with Darius, who symbolizes the power of Noxus, but that's about it.

Having witnessed everything on the battlefield with his own eyes, Darius knew very well that the Trifali Legion was still unable to defeat the Fearless Vanguard!

It can even be said that from a pure combat perspective, the Fearless Vanguard will completely defeat the Trifari Army!

Darius slowly raised the battle ax in his hand, and the low horn sound was still echoing in the strong wind. The Trifali Army immediately began to converge its formation and retreat bit by bit.

With one last look at Galen and the Dauntless Vanguard Chapter, Darius turned and followed the Chapter and left with the wounded.

At this time, Captain Farong and the Glory Seekers appeared beside Darius.

"General, the daughter of the Crownguard family appeared at the Gate of Sorrow, and she summoned the Forbidden Demon Elephant."

Darius did not look at them, but said in a deep voice:

"Tell General Du Cacault to send Caterina and Talon!"

After leaving the Gate of Sorrow, Zuochi never stopped and rushed all the way to the east of Valoran.

The war between empires usually lasts for ten or eight years, so Zuo Chi can only leave temporarily.

Across the rolling mountains, Zuo Chi was quickly approaching the iron-blooded empire.

Zuo Chi was thinking. He was wondering whether he should go directly to the Immortal Fortress to find the senior officials of Noxus, or whether he should go to the market to explore first.

About a day later, the towering majestic building—the Immortal Fortress—finally appeared in Zuo Chi’s sight!

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the ground was still covered with a finger-deep layer of snow.

Walking on the street, a comforting "crunching" sound constantly came from Zuo Chi's feet, and he was also looking for his target group.

At this time, a burst of noise sounded in Zuo Chi's ears, and he raised his head and looked towards the end of the alley.

"You loser, you begged for so much money in one day? How is this different from before I broke your legs!"

"Didn't I tell you that I would go to the nobles wearing gold and silver outside the Liquidation Arena to get it?"

At the end of the alley, two ferocious-looking middle-aged men were swinging wooden sticks at the thin boy kneeling in front of them.

It can be heard from the curses of the two men that they seemed to have broken the boy's legs just so that the boy could gain more sympathy and beg for more money.

The man's cursing continued, and Zuo Chi frowned slightly, ready to send these two men to meet their wife.

However, just when Zuo Chi was about to take action, he suddenly saw a black shadow jumping down from the top of the alley and landing straight in front of the two men.

Then, in the horrified eyes of the two men, the bloodstone shackles that bound the figure were broken free, and she rushed towards the two men like a fierce ghost.

The screams echoed throughout the street, and the two men could not escape the fate of being eaten alive.

Zuo Chi watched quietly from the end of the alley, watching the girl cut the two men into pieces and then feasted on them.

The rich smell of blood filled the narrow alley. When the girl was full, she slowly stood up, wiped her mouth with her hand, and then put the blood stone shackles back on her neck again and locked them with the shackles. He held his two hands.

Beside him, the thin boy turned pale with fright and almost fainted.

However, the girl just tilted her head and smiled at him: "It's better now, you are safe."

After doing this, the girl turned around and walked towards Zuo Chi while humming a tune.

When she came closer, she approached Zuo Chi and sniffed Zuo Chi's body gently:

"My friend, you smell delicious!"

Zuo Chi looked at the girl in front of him and felt the blood magic aura on her body that was quite similar to Thain's. He smiled:

"Are you ready to try it?"

"Hiccup~!"

The girl patted her belly and said, "I can't eat anymore. I can't eat anymore. Let's wait for the next meal."

When the girl raised her head and looked at Zuo Chi, her far baby face and sharp inverted triangle-shaped teeth were also revealed in front of Zuo Chi.

Zuo Chi looked at her curiously, then raised his hand and touched her bloodstone shackles with interest.

"Belea, you can actually open these shackles freely?"

"you know me?"

Belea had a look of surprise on her face, and even her eyes lit up a bit.

Zuo Chi smiled and nodded: "You haven't answered my question yet, my friend."

Belea twisted her body in embarrassment, her little feet stepping on the snow into a pigeon-toed posture, and her white big toes kept rubbing together.

"My friend, you are only allowed to know this secret for one night."

Zuo Chi tilted his head: "Why?"

Belea pursed her lips noncommittally:

"Because you are my breakfast tomorrow."
