Lux's Farewell

Silas, who was born as a commoner and once served as a demon hunter, knows how many powerful demon-infested people there are in Demacia, so in his imagination, he may be able to bring demon-infected civilians who are treated differently Those who resisted the tyranny of the demon hunters, overthrew the high nobles to the ground, and made them pay the price for what they had done.

However, before the implementation of this idea began, Silas suffered successive blows.

The first time Silas suffered a setback was when he failed to persuade Ino - he thought that after seeing through Lux's identity as a demon-infested person, Silas could prove to Ino that there is a huge gap between the nobles and commoners of Demacia. The difference in identity made Ino understand that nobility is unreliable. Who would have thought that Lux would reveal her identity when she turned her head, and took the initiative to move Ino away, making Silas' first attempt in vain.

But if that's all, Silas will never give up lightly. Later, he learned a way to control magic power from an intruder, which triggered the destruction of the Arcatraz. Taking this opportunity, he successfully recruited a group of The demon-stained people followed him. These people were full of anger at the nobles and the demon-seekers. As long as he mobilized their power, he could turn Demacia upside down!

However, just as Silas and the demon-infested rushed to the grand square and forced the garrison to retreat steadily, the hero Galio appeared and fell from the sky, smashing all of Silas's dreams with one fist.

Facts have proved that when facing a large number of mages gathering, Galio will tell them what cruelty is.

The magic hunters are just making trouble, but the real nemesis of mages is Galio!
At a critical moment, Silas stole the magic power of a wind mage who followed him all the way, and finally managed to escape from the sky, but it was easy to turn over the high walls of Xiongdu, but it was extremely difficult to turn back, so he left Xiongdu Silas had no choice but to flee in a panic all the way until he reached the Freljord.

After seeing these Freljord savages who used magic, weapons, and blood, an idea of ​​"unifying barbarians and sweeping nobles" officially took shape in Silas's mind.

Since relying on one's own strength is not enough to overthrow the rule of the nobles of Demacia, why not borrow some external force?

With this in mind, Silas joined the Winter's Claw and made great contributions to the war last winter. If it weren't for Silas' help, the Winter's Claw would have quickly passed through the Nyskala Pass Totally impossible.

Although Silas was not a member of the Winter's Claw, not even a member of the Freljord, but because of his special talent and good combat effectiveness, he became Sejuani's confidant after the war.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Silas began to relentlessly advocate the southward strategy.

Winter's Claw is so good at fighting, why bother to go around in the barren place of the Freljord?
Looting means robbing the richest talents, right, let's go south and find trouble with the Demacian nobles, they are the richest!
In Silas's description, the nobles of Demacia have endless food in their homes, and decades of aged spirits hidden in the cellar. They only know to participate in dance parties on weekdays, and they can only rely on means of power To realize one's own rule is the weakest.

However, although Silas spared no effort, Sejuani is not a fool-it is not that the Freljord people have tried to plunder Demacia, but the problem is that there is a relationship between Freljord and Demacia. Even for the Freljord people, it is very difficult to climb the high Dragon's Back Mountain Range.

Moreover, even after passing the Dragon's Back Mountain Range, there is still a city wall on the Demacia side.

For the Freljord who lacked means of siege, the defense system in the northern border of Demacia, with Fossbarrow, Mithral and Uwendale at its core, could be said to be impeccable.

So Sejuani listened to what Silas said, but not fully.

Even though Silas had sworn that she knew an easy passage leading directly to the city of Mihril, Sejuani didn't take his advice to heart—until this winter, she realized that she had to activate it again. war.

Between Avarosa and Demacia, Sejuani hesitated for a long time. She was still eager to prove herself to Ashe, but last year's experience reminded her that Avarosa was hard to swallow.

Moreover, even if it is eaten, the tribal looting income is very limited. Judging from last year's experience, Ashe is quite good at fortifying the wall and clearing the wild.

Since Avarosa cannot be easily defeated, it is the best choice to go south to Demacia to earn a ticket. Therefore, after thinking for a long time, Sejuani found Silas.

Knowing that Sejuani was considering going south, Silas was naturally overjoyed. Faced with Sejuani's doubts, he compared the original map of the Freljord with distorted proportions and made a promise.

"Just take the road I went north, and we can go straight to Mi Silver City within three days!"

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

The bonfire on the Sanjigra Plain was lit again, and Sejuani once again began to gather loyal warriors.

Although last winter's looting did not yield much and delayed the production of this year's furnace, there are still a large number of Freljords who responded to Sejuani's call—in any case, after this year's raids, , Sejuani showed her strength, and in the Freljord, this strength itself is an unparalleled charisma.

The flag representing Winter's Claw was hoisted again, and the horn representing the expedition resounded through the Sanjigra Plain once again.

But this time the assembly was not detected by the Dragon Bird Knight.

After the Dragonbird Knight was injured last year, the Dragonbird Knights of the Northern Legion made changes to the Freljord scouting regulations.

Although the Dragon Bird Knight still maintains regular investigations, for the sake of safety, the Northern Legion has made new regulations on the detection range of the Dragon Bird Knight.

Don't go deep into the Sangjgra Plain, just observe at the edge of the Sangjgra Plain. After all, even if the Freljords gather to go south, they have to cross the Dragon's Back Mountains. No matter how good these barbarians are at climbing mountains, the vast Dragon's Back Mountains, completely It will take at least ten days and a half months to cross over. As long as they are found on the edge of the Sanjigra Plain, Mithral City will have time to be on guard.

There is nothing wrong with the Second Northern Army Corps stationed in Mithral City making such a change. It is completely correct to ensure the safety of the dragon and bird knights as much as possible while allowing enough reaction time.

But unfortunately, they didn't know that on the edge of the Sangjigra Plain, there was a small road that could go directly into the Longji Mountains along the col.

They don't even know that a considerable part of the seemingly tall and majestic Longji Mountains are glaciers—and glaciers can create caves through ice magic.

For ordinary people, glacier fissures are dangerous places where people will die if they are not careful, but for ice elemental mages, as long as these irregular fissures are "processed" to a certain extent, they can be connected into a path that leads directly to Dema. The road to West Asia.

The dragon bird knight who narrowed the scope of investigation clearly saw that on the edge of the Sanjigra Plain and within the range of the Dragon's Back Mountain Range, the Freljord people did not make any major moves.

But under their noses, Silas and a group of ice elemental mages took advantage of the existing glacier fissures, and the raiders with Winter's Claw climbed all the way, leading the army through the Dragon's Back Mountain Range!
When the dragon bird knight who routinely set out to investigate the Freljord was shocked to see the Freljord people who came out of the mountain, and turned back to issue a warning, it was too late.

The slightly prepared Winter's Claw raiders rushed to the nearest village and ransacked the entire village. Anyone who resisted was killed on the spot.

Seeing this situation, Silas found Sejuani again and asked her to prepare the army quickly, and quickly take Mithral City before it is ready.

However, no matter how Silas emphasized the abundance of supplies in Mithril City, Sejuani just nodded and did not implement it.

Just kidding, last year's experience has proved that blindly marching forcibly will only make the team exhausted and reduce the combat effectiveness of the team. Sejuani doesn't want to rush to march to the city of Mithril to get a full head right now!
That's right, for Sejuani, this expedition does have the meaning of consuming cannon fodder.

But that doesn't mean she has to gnaw hard bones foolishly—compared to directly sending troops to attack Mithral City, looting around the surrounding villages, increasing supplies, and attracting the Demacians to come out by themselves. The best way!

Silas was finally dumbfounded as villages around Mithril City were massacred one after another without having time to clear the walls.

This is not what he imagined!
Obviously, he lured the barbarians south to deal with those damn nobles, why did the common people suffer instead?
Why are you sweeping the village here?

Go and attack Mithral City, there are plenty of good things there!

Silas, who was born in Biangou Town, didn't know these northerners whose families were ruined, but seeing the destruction of one village after another, he still felt uncomfortable.

But in this situation, Silas has no choice.

At this time, the only thing he can look forward to is that Mithril City's Second Northern Army Corps will send troops quickly to fight a field battle with Winter's Claws - he can see it, unless Mithril City can show its weakened On the one hand, otherwise Sejuani would never take the initiative to attack the city wall!
........................

Sejuani was waiting for Miraz to respond.

As for Miyin City, General Henchal, who commanded the Second Army in the Northern Territory, was also suffering and waiting for an opportunity.

As a veteran general, Henchal knew very well that it was quite an unwise choice to rush out of the city to fight the barbarians of Freldrow in winter.

Cold weather is the best cover for the Freljord. They can move easily in this kind of weather, but the soldiers of the Second Legion of the North will suffer from reduced mobility due to the cold, difficulty in resupply, and unable to fight for a long time. .

But Henchal can't just sit back and watch the Freljords sweep the northern border - when Sejuani swept the village, she didn't organize the villagers who were looted to escape, so at this time Mithral City had already accepted a large number of refugees.

Everyone knew that the Freljord was looting everywhere, and many young soldiers were excited, wanting to leave the city to teach these ruthless savages a lesson.

Henchal was pleased with these requests for battle, but he refused all of them when he responded. He just asked the soldiers of the Second Legion to strengthen the city and allocate some people to help rescue the villages that had not yet been attacked. He took the initiative to fight with Frey It is impossible for the Eldrodians to fight!
Henchal could see clearly that the barbarians who went south this year had brains for the first time. They no longer wandered around like headless chickens, nor did they foolishly bump into the complete defense system of Mythril City. These damned barbarians Consciously cutting the connection between the villages, and even consciously luring himself out of the city!
Not content with looting villages, they even have ideas for Mithral!
Although Henchal is very confident in the Second Army of the North under his command, confidence does not mean recklessness-it is a chance to go out of the city to fight the barbarians of Freljord at this time.

Of course, Henchal knows that if you stick to it for a long time, you will lose it.

Henchar has been working in Mithral City all year round, and Henchal is still full of love for the land in the northern border. Although he is unwilling to go out to fight, it is not because he sits idly by and ignores the plight of the villagers. In another, he is also waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

The barbarians of the Freljord have always been the most difficult to deal with with the battle mother and the battle mother guards. What Henchal was worried about was that his old bones could not withstand the impact of the war mother, so he found Frel in the dragon bird knight. When the Zhuo De people went south in a large scale and returned to Miyin City, Henchal had already written a letter for help.

And the target for help is the Fearless Pioneer Legion stationed in the south of Fossbarrow!
Just wait a few days, and the reinforcements of the Dauntless Vanguard will arrive. At that time, the two sides will join forces, and these Freljord savages will never be able to leave!

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

Henchal's stability finally gave Sejuani some headaches.

Although the amount of looted items in this trip so far is not small, from Sejuani's point of view, even half of the goal of going south has not been achieved.

Looting unprotected villages doesn't yield much, and it won't have the effect of training troops, let alone help Winter's Claw to save the chaff from the chaff.

Returning to the Freljord at this time, although profitable, can't satisfy Sejuani's appetite at all-she also wants to break through the walls of Mithril City!
But Henchal and the Second Legion are waiting in full force in Mihril City, at most relying on the advantage of aerial reconnaissance, avoiding large troops, and helping to transfer villages, and have no intention of fighting against the Winter's Claw fighters at all... Very annoying!

Could it be that he really wanted to charge the city wall?
Just when Sejuani was thinking about how to attack the city wall, an elite group of fearless vanguards received a request for help from the Second Army in the North, rushed all the way from the station, and finally arrived at Mithral City.

And the one leading this team is none other than Galen Crownguard, known as "The Power of Demacia"!
