Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 143 Jinx: "Is this idiot always so brave?"

The huge Noxus tower made of black stone created an oppressive and solemn atmosphere. The sound of iron hooves rang on the stone ground. After passing the main road in front of us, the Valoran Mountains were in front of us - a huge mountain range separating Valoran from the ocean. The length of the mountain range runs through Valoran, from the west of Demacia to the east of Noxus territory.

"Retas!"

On a huge warhorse covered in heavy iron armor, Viscount Kirill wore a steel helmet that left only his eyes exposed. He was wearing black and white heavy armor, and a red shawl was tied around his left arm, swaying in the wind. He carried a huge double-bladed heavy sword on his back. He pulled the reins in his hand, stopped his horse, and turned around to look at the large army following behind him.

"Please speak, Viscount Kirill." Leitas, wearing armor and a helmet that exposed his face, rode his horse to Viscount Kirill and spoke.

Although Retas was born into a good merchant family in Noxus, he was also an excellent rider. He quickly came to Viscount Kirill with a calm expression.

Once in the army, Kirill became his superior and he had to obey all of Kirill's orders.

In Noxus, military power does not represent everything. In Noxus, ability does not only represent strength.

Therefore, although Leitas had no title, his status was not much different from Kirill's. However, once he joined the army, Leitas had to obey Kirill.

"Let the entire army reorganize, and at the same time send out the cavalry to urge the infantry regiment to speed up!" Viscount Kirill said in a deep voice.

Valoran is a large plain, but where Noxtora is built, there will be no muddy land, but a flat stone road.

This is because of the custom of the Noxians. After conquering a place, they would often build Noxtora on the local area, a label that serves as a symbol of the empire's force and glory.

Therefore, as long as you see this thing, it means that you have arrived in the territory of Noxus.

Therefore, on the constructed road, the Noxian infantry corps' marching speed would not be slow. Coupled with the Noxians' strong physical fitness, it was not difficult for them to travel a hundred kilometers in a day and night.

You must know that the legion led by Viscount Kirill is not a miscellaneous legion, the legion he leads is not cannon fodder on the battlefield, the old, weak, sick and disabled will not appear in his army.

"Yes." Reitas nodded, then went to convey Viscount Kirill's order.

From time to time, two war horses left the rear of the cavalry regiment and rushed in the opposite direction.

"Give my order, all troops to rest and recover their strength!"

"Unarmor the horses, tie them up and feed them. We will spend the night here!" Viscount Kirill squinted his eyes and looked at the Valzhu Mountains. After thinking it over, he decided not to move forward.

Upon hearing this, Reitas was a little surprised. He stepped forward and whispered in a voice that only he and Kirill could hear: "General, aren't we going into the Valzhu Mountains?"

"No." Kirill shook his head. "I understand what you mean, Retas. You want to reach Piltover tonight, and then make repairs under their noses to put pressure on them, right?"

"Piltover is weak. Although their development speed in recent years has exceeded our imagination and they have united with Zaun, I don't think they can resist us. According to intelligence, Piltover's garrison has only a few hundred people and none of them have ever been on the battlefield. They are all weak and incompetent ordinary people. If our cavalry regiment charges, all their garrison will be killed." Reitas said seriously.

He paused, and then continued: "And the technology they are so proud of, the rifle, is nothing more than a child's toy in front of the armor of our heavy cavalry."

"That's what you say, but Anbesa failed in this city-state." Kirill reached out and took off his helmet, saying calmly.

"Iron-blooded Wolf Mother?" Leitas heard the voice and said with some disdain: "Midalda was indeed very powerful, but that was in the past. Now she is just an old woman who lost in the power struggle and was forced to flee Noxus to find a way out. How many people did she bring with her when she left Noxus?"

"Besides, I don't think the retainers of the Midarda family can match your army." said Reitas.

Kirill smiled and shook his head, "So you businessmen, those who play with your brains, don't understand anything."

"No matter how poor Anbesa is now, she was once a great general under Swain, Rhine, and Gordon. She conquered a quarter of this land."

"Yes, but she lost to Piltover." Reitas touched his chin and smiled, "She is old now. She is no longer the general who killed countless enemies and led the troops on the battlefield."

"She brought so many people but failed to capture this city. If it were me, I think I would only need fifty people to easily capture this city, not to mention the general. We now have fifteen hundred people." Reitas said.

Kirill listened and still shook his head, although he also agreed with what Reitas said, that is, Anbesa was old and useless.

Just like Darkwill, the former Darkwill, no one in Noxus dared to resist his orders. Wherever his orders reached, the Noxians would rush forward without hesitation, leaving death behind and sacrificing their lives to fight for the empire.

But what about today?
Darkwill was incompetent and as far as Kirill knew, more than half of the troops in the army were secretly disobeying him.

But even so, this will not change Kirill's mind, because this is his fighting style.

When facing the enemy, they leave no room for them and kill them directly in one go. This is the style of Noxian soldiers. They will not give the enemy a chance to breathe. If they want to surrender or to surrender, they have to wait until the war is over and they are stabbed!

He reached out and patted Retus's shoulder, a fierce look appeared in his eyes, and he said softly: "The battlefield is not a child's play. Even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit. This is what Swain taught me. Also, remember your own identity, Retus."

"."

"I understand."

Leitas lowered his head, closed his mouth and said no more.

In the evening, the infantry regiment led by Kirill finally appeared. From a distance, it changed from a black dot to a black line and slowly approached the rest site.

War horses pulled carriages loaded with food and goods, and behind them there were small carts pushed by people, which were also loaded with various war supplies.

Knife, spear, bow and arrow
"ignition!"

Kirill gave orders, and soon, the soldiers gathered in groups of three or five around the hanging pot, and the army led by Kirill began to eat.

After Tonight
He was going to ride into Piltover, seize the city-state, and present it to Linkerton as a souvenir of his advancement in the Noxian army.

Wealth is important, but in the country of Noxus, power is more important.

Darkwill's rule was coming to an end, and by presenting Piltover to General Linkton, Kirill could become a warlord rather than a pawn in the fragmented Noxus.

Kirill squinted his eyes, drank the hot, salty and fragrant broth in the bowl, and imagined his future, with a smile on his face.
At the same time, in Piltover, in front of the Hextech flying door device, Li Ke looked at the shining crystal magic ball with a strange expression.

This was the first time he saw the control device of the Hextech flying door. What can I say? Li Ke felt that this thing was really a bit supermodel.

The Hextech airship passes through the flying gate and directly arrives at the other side of the world. During this period, there is no human control. In other words, it is fully automated? Therefore, this device is the control center of the "intelligence" of the Hextech airship.

"The anchor point has been determined. The Hexgate can be used for shuttle at any time. The speed has been reduced. We must ensure that the law enforcer can accurately hit the enemy when firing on the airship."

"The law enforcers have already boarded the Hextech airship and are on standby. The crystal cannons have been installed and there are ample ammunition."

Jace touched the crystal ball with his big hand and spoke.

"Okay, we can set off at any time." He turned to look at Li Ke.

Jinx's eyes sparkled as she hugged Li Ke's arm and said, "I want to go too."

She didn't want to see fireworks, nor did she want to see the Noxians screaming in pain from the explosion. She was not interested in bloody scenes with limbs flying everywhere. Jinx was not that crazy!

She wanted to go because she wanted to ride a Hexspeeder. She had wanted to ride this thing since she was a child, but never found the opportunity.

And now is a good opportunity!

Li Ke nodded and said with a smile: "Let's go, everyone, let's go and see our results together."

As Li Ke's voice fell, everyone, including the operator Jace, walked out the door and arrived at the airship landing point.

A huge azure airship was already suspended in the air outside, with dozens of law enforcement officers standing on it, a mixture of Zaun law enforcement officers and Piltover law enforcement officers, waiting seriously.

Then, the congressmen boarded the same airship, and Gilaman held on to the railing, but in fact, she didn't have to do that at all.

The speed of the airship was incredibly fast, and it was protected by a barrier. Otherwise, it would have reached Freljord in an hour, and even if Giramane tried his best, he would have been thrown out.

Li Ke looked at the crystal cannon on the airship curiously.

The people of the two cities have superb craftsmanship. The Hextech cannon is not simply placed on the airship, but is embedded with the device on the airship. After fastening the safety lock, the Hextech cannon is firmly fixed on the airship. The law enforcement officer stands behind the cannon and can adjust the direction of the firing left, right, up and down.

Li Ke looked at the law enforcement officer operating the Hextech cannon and couldn't help but admire that this smart man was really amazing.
It really is that you give them an idea, and then they can follow this idea and sort out several different but correct paths.

Why don't I have this brain?
Li Ke lowered his head and thought.

In the Valzhu Mountains, Kirill was drinking soup while his soldiers had smiles on their faces, some of them even started playing finger-guessing games and drinking wine.

Kirill did not stop them when he saw this. After all, he had the same idea as the soldiers. What trouble could there be in attacking Piltover?

Yes, there is also Zaun, but isn't Zaun worse than Piltover? None of the war masons sent to Piltover were willing to go to Zaun, which shows that Zaun is poor, chaotic and poor, so what's the big deal?
Just two pieces of trash.

Thinking of this, Kirill laughed.

But at this moment, the place where Kirill was was suddenly shrouded in shadow.

Did it get dark so quickly today?

As summer approaches, the daytime hours in Valoran become longer. It usually doesn't get completely dark until around seven in the evening, and isn't it only evening now?
Thinking of this, Kirill raised his head.

Then, his pupils contracted instantly, because the sky was filled with huge "monsters", each of which had a huge body of dozens of meters, far exceeding the size of Demacia's dragon bird army.

"Enemy——" Kirill reacted and jumped up instantly, grabbing the helmet beside him and putting it on, while shouting. But the next moment, a loud noise came from the air——"Boom!"

Then a deep blue crystal ball pierced through the air and stabbed towards Kirill's position from a height of one hundred meters.

The crystal ball was not big, probably only the size of a helmet worn by Noxians. Seeing this, Kirill looked suspicious, but instinctively picked up the huge sword, used his extraordinary reaction speed, jumped high, raised the heavy sword in both hands and slashed at the crystal ball.

At this moment, Kirill finally saw what it was. It was indeed a spherical object, but it was not a crystal ball. Instead, it was a gray-black ball with a skull logo on it. The reason why Kirill thought it was a crystal ball was because the burning blue flame made him mistakenly see it.

Looking at the gray sphere, Kirill laughed out loud:

"You Piltover ladies are fucking crazy. Do you think I can't do anything to you just because you're throwing rocks down from a high place?!"

"Is this broken thing even of any use!!!"

Kirill swung his heavy sword vigorously and shouted loudly: "Break it for me!!"

Along with the sound, Kirill's heavy sword slashed on the iron ball. His speed was really fast and his strength was really great.

After all, he could actually jump nearly three meters in heavy armor. It was no exaggeration to say that his physical fitness was that of a monster. You know, the law enforcement officers of the two cities found it difficult to move even after wearing that heavy armor!
But what about Kirill? He suddenly stood up, wielding a heavy sword weighing 100 kilograms, facing the iron ball head-on, and chopped it with one sword.

His bravery also helped the Noxians, who were panicked by the appearance of "monsters" all over the sky, to quickly regain their composure. The soldiers quickly put on their armor, picked up their weapons, and some even pointed their bows into the sky, ready to shoot down the monsters.

But at this moment in the air.
A hundred meters above the ground, on the airship flying in the clouds, Jinx held the guardrail with one hand and held the telescope with the other. She leaned out to look down and screamed loudly: "Wow, Li Ke, look, there's an idiot!"

Hilco, who was standing by, heard Jinx's voice and covered his face with his hands.

He really didn't remember educating Jinx like this.
Vander looked at Hillco angrily, thinking that this was all taught by Hillco.

The Piltover council members also had strange expressions on their faces, but they all inexplicably thought that what the blue-haired little lunatic said was right.

Because that guy is indeed an idiot.

Not only did he not dodge, he also took the initiative to use his sword to chop the bomb. Isn't he that brave?
Li Ke was of course watching as well. He was amused by Kirill's behavior. Indeed, this guy's physical fitness might be better than when he first entered the Soul Lotus and fought Sevika after meeting Jinx. But... facing the shells head-on?
Even Vandel is not that brave!
You should know that Zaun’s weapons have undergone several updates and iterations. The alchemical bombs produced under Jinx’s research are many times more powerful than previous generations of bombs!
When this thing exploded, half of Vander's body was blown to pieces, and he could only lie dead on the ground, waiting for his body to heal.

so.
"Like, have these idiots always been so brave?" Jinx turned to look at Li Ke, put down the telescope and said excitedly.

Li Ke was about to answer when a loud explosion was heard below.

The air waves even lifted up the Hextech airship which was a hundred meters away.

"Boom!!!"

A light source suddenly appeared on the dark plain, violent sparks rose up, and a wailing sound came from below.

------

"No!"

"What's this!"

Retas, who was not affected, covered his ears with his hands. He was dizzy and tinnitus, but he tried to suppress the nausea. He saw Kirill's body flying out. There was a horrible dent in the middle of the heavy armor Kirill was wearing, and the helmet he was wearing was also charred black. The hands and feet exposed outside the body disappeared directly!

"Viscount Kirill? Viscount Kirill!"

Leitas shouted loudly, but Kirill, who was lying in the distance, did not answer him.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Countless noises were heard, and Leitas raised his head blankly, and saw countless crystal balls falling from the sky. Those balls were shining with blue flames, falling from the sky and crashing to the ground.

One bullet would make it impossible for Kirill and his guards to live or die.

And now, dozens of them are falling at the same time?

There was horror in Reitas' eyes!

"Boom!"

Every time a crystal ball fell on the ground, it would cause a huge explosion with a diameter of more than ten meters. Countless soldiers were blown away by the explosion, and their lives or deaths were unknown.

Leitas was also among them. He was hit by a shell and flew backwards more than ten meters and fell to the ground. Before he fainted, he saw his limbs twisted by the impact.

The armor did protect him, but his body could not withstand such a horrific impact.

Until now, Leitas still can't understand what kind of weapon this is.

Is it a cannonball?

But aren't cannonballs iron balls? Noxus also has cannons, which are mounted on warships, but they are huge iron balls, which are used to sink other ships. So why do their cannonballs explode?
And why do so many appear at once?
Doesn't it take time to load the shells? Doesn't the barrel need to cool down?

Those "monsters" are hex airships?
But when did Piltover install these weapons on the airship?

Leitas had a lot of questions to ask.

However, a crystal ball hit him one meter behind him.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the Noxians fled in all directions.

This is a natural disaster
It's a natural disaster!
This is simply beyond human capability!
Run, yes, run!

Can't stop!
The frightened horses either died or ran away, and they could only run across the plain on their own legs.

On the Hextech airship, Marcos, the captain of this operation, saw the situation and gave orders coldly.

"Law Enforcer!"

"Ship number three, bomb in turns to the north!"

"Ship No. 2, fire forward and provide artillery coverage!"

"Ship No. 6, head northeast!"

"Squeeze the Noxians' escape space and surround them!"

"Sail! Chase! Fire!"

"Kill all the invaders, leaving no one behind!"

Marcos stood in front of the microphone, full of energy and energy, waving his hands and speaking loudly.

This guy
Li Ke looked at Marcos in the operating room, touched his chin with his hand, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

Shuangcheng has many talents in various fields, but it does lack battlefield commanders and people who can serve as generals.

Because the two cities still have no regular army, even if Zaun has begun to form an army, population is always a problem. Therefore, the people under Vandel's command are not even as good as Wei, the chief of the law enforcement bureau.

So, can Marcos be trained?

Human potential is unlimited. Sometimes, you can only know whether you can do something by trying it.

And now, the high-spirited Marcos obviously has talent in this area!

Jace also looked excitedly at the ground that was being bombed repeatedly. The council members of the two cities had the same expression as him.

Mel looked uneasy, thinking that it was a good thing that this weapon was in the hands of the Twin Cities. If this weapon was in the hands of the Noxians, Mel was sure that they would be able to drive an airship to the Demacia capital and plant a bomb that very day!

When the air force attacks the infantry, even the most powerful cavalry is nothing but fish meat, not to mention that they are under large-scale bombing!
The horse was so frightened that it was impossible to control it!
Councillor Giraman's face was rosy, and he seemed to be happy.

Councillor Hoskal had a fat belly and a ruddy face.

Saro screamed continuously, venting his anger when he was bullied by the Noxians in the past.

Hilko had a smile on his face, but Vandel was a little depressed, because he felt that under such a sea of ​​artillery, personal bravery was just bullshit. Didn’t you see the idiot that Jinx was talking about, the guy who looked like a Noxian general, was he killed by the bomb?
Technology
It can really do things that ordinary people can't imagine!

In the past, Vandel didn't care about it, thinking that no matter how technology developed, manpower would definitely be more powerful. But now, he saw that the law enforcers were lined up on the airship with bombs in their arms, and the other two law enforcers, one was responsible for the direction of the cannon barrel, and the other was responsible for pressing the fire button, and then the Noxians were defeated and fled.

After today, there will be another chapter in Valoran's war history.

This stroke is destined to be written by the two cities.

Zaun and Piltover changed the war!
