I, Folyago, am the most devoted lover in Runeterra.

............

On the other side, a densely packed army is advancing.

Due to a lack of intelligence, the Restoration Alliance was unaware that Noxus had sent another 50,000 reinforcements.

This time, Noxus's total force for the attack still reached 80,000!

More than four times the number of members of the Restoration Alliance!

Given that their strategic capabilities were roughly equal, the defeat of the Restoration Alliance was probably a foregone conclusion.

The only advantage the Restoration Alliance has is in terms of skilled players.

Perhaps with the protection of these experts, the Restoration Alliance can reduce its losses.

However, achieving victory is extremely difficult.

In this offensive, Swain handed over full command to the general in charge of the "mixed legion".

In other words, the actual command is in LeBlanc's hands.

Swain's actions clearly demonstrated his stance.

Swain never intended to force his way through head-on.

How well the fighting goes here is not important; what is important is that the battle that breaks out here will attract the attention of the Ionian side.

This makes room for Swain to fight in other locations.

LeBlanc was naturally happy with this arrangement; Swain leaving the front lines undefended made it easier for her to carry out her plans.

All LeBlanc needs is killing.

She had already made her arrangements for this.

After today, this place will probably be littered with corpses.

LeBlanc had already made her arrangements, making the collection of soul power even more secretive.

The mage of the Black Rose is currently hidden among the mixed legion, disguised as an ordinary soldier.

Under LeBlanc's orders, the 80,000 soldiers charged forward without holding back!

The sheer number of people made the Restoration Alliance warriors responsible for the first line of defense feel a chill run down their spines.

As expected, the first line of defense built by the Restoration Alliance was quickly destroyed by sheer numbers.

.............

The second line of defense was located beside a hill on the outskirts of the town.

Upon hearing the news brought by the defeated soldiers at the front, Rowan gritted his teeth and gave the order.

"Ready to fight!"

Looking into the distance, a resolute glint flashed in Rowan's eyes.

In any case, he must not retreat here so easily!

.................

Ionia is a land of vast forests and expansive environments.

Here you'll find all sorts of magnificent and awe-inspiring sights.

Especially in the central and eastern part of Navoli, plains, hills and mountains intertwine.

On the outskirts of some human towns, there are often endless forests and deep mountains.

And this place happens to be the paradise inhabited by the Vastaya race.

Coincidentally, right next to the front lines of the great war between Ionia and Noxus was the location where a large Vastaya tribe resided.

Today, a dark cloud hangs over this Vastaya tribe.

It all started some time ago.

Two days ago, some Ionians suddenly came to the depths of the forest.

These people attempted to trespass into Vastaya territory, and were naturally intercepted by Vastaya sentries.

The Vastaya did not want to cause trouble, so they did not make things difficult for them.

As for the purpose of these people...

Phrases such as "Responding to the Noxian invasion" and "Joining forces to fight the enemy when the lips are gone" are used.

The Vastaya showed absolutely no interest.

Because they don't trust humans.

Whether they are Noxians or Ionians, they are all the same to them.

After driving these humans away.

Soon, tragedy struck.

Many members of the tribe lost consciousness after drinking water from the forest.

After examining the evidence, the tribe's high priest was certain that the tribespeople had been poisoned.

Moreover, this poison is extremely potent, and even the high priest himself is powerless against it.

Caught off guard, hundreds of tribesmen who had drunk water from the source died despite attempts to save them.

Some members of the tribe were tormented by the poison, suffering a fate worse than death.

Most importantly, the son of the tribal chief, Nujiao, also happened to drink the water there and was poisoned to death.

At this moment, the clan warrior's eyes turned red with rage.

He ordered a thorough investigation into the poisoning incident.

Finally, Vastaya, who had been guarding the pool all night, caught the despicable poisoner!

The moment he saw the poisoner, Angry Horn's pupils contracted violently.

He recognized one of them immediately; it was the same human who had come to the forest some time ago to discuss "forming an alliance against the enemy" and had been saying things like "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold" (a Chinese idiom meaning that if one is gone, the other will be vulnerable).

Anger filled him with extreme grief and indignation, and just as he was about to ask something,

That person actually committed suicide by poisoning himself!

However, the accounts given by these people during interrogation were completely different.

Some say they came from Noxus, others say they were sent by Ionia.

But at this moment, these things are no longer important.

Whether they are Noxians or Ionians, they all share a common identity.

And this identity cannot be ignored—it is human!

.................

Angry Horn looked at the more than one thousand tribal elites before him, his eyes filled with deep anger and sorrow.

Since the rise of humankind, the living environment of Vastaya has deteriorated day by day.

Even though they hid in these deep mountains and forests, in places rarely visited by humans, they still could not escape the clutches of humans!

In fact, not only the chieftain, Nujiao, but all the Vastaya below also wore expressions of anger.

Because among those who were poisoned were their family members and friends.

Today, they are going to seek revenge on humanity!

And especially—those despicable Ionians!!!

Yes, although the case remains unsolved, most of the tribesmen believe that the despicable Ionians were responsible.

Furthermore, the deep-seated animosity between Vasyata and the Ionians has reached a breaking point.

Chapter 272, After Tomorrow

Vastas are a naturally occurring hybrid species, possessing the talents of being half-human and half-beast.

Almost every adult Vastaya warrior possesses the strength of a Silver rank warrior.

The tribe led by Angry Horn is itself a large tribe of Vastaya people gathered in Warneri.

Although the entire tribe has no more than 20,000 people, for the Vastaya whose bloodline is dwindling, 20,000 is a considerable number.

It is easy to imagine how devastating the death of hundreds of people was for the Vastaya!

Don't be fooled by the fact that the elites gathered by the Angry Horn are only a thousand people. You should know that this means that all of these thousand people are experts above the Silver rank!

Among them were more than ten experts who had reached the Gold rank!

Furthermore, the Vastaya live deep in the forests and mountains of Ionia, accompanied by all sorts of magical beasts.

The Vastaya warriors have long since honed a set of skills for coordinated hunting and combat.

In the dense forests and deep mountains of Ionia, the Vastayan warriors are even more powerful than Demacia's elite Dreadnoughts!

Given the current battlefield situation between Noxus and Ionia, this vengeful team composed of Vastaya warriors is definitely a key force capable of influencing the course of the battle!
