Lux's Farewell

Due to taking action early, Lissandra was not able to obtain Volibear's full power.

But at least she got the most essential part of it - the power of thunder.

Although she still needs some time to master and become familiar with this power, for Lissandra, this is enough to make her more calm when facing the major changes that the Freljord has not seen in thousands of years. separated.

No matter what, the fake in Forcalodna can always delay for a while. Lissandra believes that the Demacians and Avarosans cannot easily launch an attack. The previous battle in the Black Forest has proved their With a cautious style, they will not easily launch an offensive against Foca Rodna without sufficient preparation.

Moreover, even if the coalition forces launch an attack, there will be nothing they can do to take down Forcalodna City in a short time.

It was one of the most powerful cities in Freljord, and there were a large number of Frost Guard warriors and Frost Guard priests guarding the city. They were fully equipped with long-range melee combat and food and grass equipment. With the will of defending the Frost Witch, it was simply difficult to overcome. Better than the sky!

Unfortunately, Lissandra never expected that Lux could easily see through the disguise of the fake. The Frost Witch never imagined that Lux had been working with a real old monster and an elemental incarnation since she was a child. people live together.

Those details that ordinary people can't detect or grasp, those small problems that are not problems at all, are extremely clear in Lux's eyes.

Therefore, while Lissandra successfully completed her mission on Bearman Island, seized Volibear's power and sealed it away, at Forkarodna, Lux persuaded Ashe and made a prompt decision. The ground launched an attack on the city of Focalodna.

Facts have proved that Lissandra not only underestimated Lux's ability to detect fakes, but also underestimated the Demacians' siege skills.

Compared to the Frost Guard Priests, who had a single spellcasting mode, the Crusaders' mages could easily suppress spells with Malphite as cover.

Frost Guard Priests are all people with outstanding spellcasting talents, and many of them are of the Ice bloodline. If you pick one out at random, they will have potential that is not inferior to that of Ino.

But the problem is that they obviously lack theoretical and systematic learning.

Unlike Kalya, who has average talent and likes to study theories and cultivate students, Lissandra's talent is quite amazing. She has an instinctive ability to perceive and manipulate magic. In addition, she is a monitor. Secret, so the Frostguard priests were trained on the path of mystics from the beginning.

This resulted in the Frostguard Priest's spellcasting being not only quite rough, but also lacking coordination.

Their talents are very good, but this good talent cannot be effectively displayed without systematic learning.

As a result, the Frostguard priests often have to fight alone. Even if they unite to cast spells, they can only use spells that "seek common ground while reserving differences and everyone can do it" like a large-scale blizzard.

In contrast, the relationship between the imperial guards of the Northern Expedition is undoubtedly much closer, and their methods are more sophisticated.

While the Frost Guard Priests were still roughly controlling the power of the elements to create large-scale spells, some of the Law Controllers were already approaching the city wall relying on Malphite's cover, and then counterattacking his spells in a targeted manner.

Although everyone is a spell caster, both sides are no longer in the same dimension in terms of spell casting level and spell effects.

What the Frostguard Priest pays attention to is that the range of the spell is large enough and the power of the spell is powerful enough.

The mages have evolved to the stage of spell targeting, spell control, interference with spell casting stability, and most importantly, multi-dimensional cooperation.

This is the generation difference caused by complete theoretical crushing.

Even if the Frost Guard Priests have more magic power, even if their talents are better, they only feel at a loss when faced with the Archon's spell countermeasures.

They have never seen these things!

As a result, from the first day of the siege of Fukarodna, there was already a situation that stunned Ashe - those Frost Guard priests who seemed to be much more powerful than the Dharma Protector quickly silenced the city wall and defended the city. The firepower on the side was suddenly reduced by more than half.

The spells from the Northern Expeditionary Army quickly suppressed the direction of the city wall.

What's even more terrible is that, in addition to the spell-breaking mages who are responsible for spell countermeasures, the proficiency of the engineering mages who specialize in siege technology within the dharmas is also quite astonishing.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when it was difficult to interfere with the city wall, the ground began to rise as if it had come alive, providing the siege with a large amount of land that could be used as a stepping stone.

Even to prevent slipping, large tracts of winter humus grow on the plateau.

This creeping plant with fine barbs on its leaves and vines covered the front of the plateau in the blink of an eye, laying a thick and reliable carpet for the attackers.

During the previous civil war in Demacia, the Archon had to rely on building ice stairs to siege the city. Due to its inconvenience, the Northern Walkers did not perform well in the Battle of Owendale at that time, and ultimately failed to capture it successfully. Owendale City.

Of course, there was a reason why the city walls of Owendale City were mixed with a large amount of forbidden magic stones and it was difficult for the Dharma Protector to perform well. However, the lack of internal subdivision of the Dharma Protector at that time and the lack of siege experience were also very important reasons.

After the establishment of New Demacia, at the same time as the military reforms of the Northern Walkers, the Law Controllers also carried out internal reforms. Although the overall structure is still there, the specific internal subdivisions have changed greatly. A very important part of it is breaking the law. Subdivisions of professions such as mage, engineering mage, projection mage, and auxiliary mage.

This directly led to the mages' professionalism rising to a higher level in battle.

Therefore, unlike the last time they were hindered in Owendale, in Forkarodna, facing this "Freljord-style heroic city", the performance of the mages was set off by the less professional Frost Guard Priests. Next, he became more and more professional.

The spell-breaking mage counterattacks enemy spells and stabilizes the battlefield environment.

The projection mage pours spells on a large scale to suppress the enemy's movements.

The auxiliary mage applies BUFF to his own warriors and prepares for siege.

The engineering mage provides an objective environment for the siege and creates a siege plateau.

After a set of combo punches, the Frost Guard Priest on the city wall was completely stunned.

They had never seen a spell-breaking mage before. It was their first time to face a professional spell counterattack, and they couldn't use it even if they had the strength to do so.

And as they become silent, the projection mages can exert their will and completely control the initiative on the battlefield, leaving the defenders unable to hold their heads up.

Without the interfering factors, the engineering mage transformed the environment into a form that was beneficial to the attacker, and the advantage of Focalodna City was wiped out.

Finally, when the Avarosan warriors who had been subjected to various strengthening spells climbed onto the city wall first, the Frost Guard warriors were shocked to find that the advantage they had in the small-scale battle had now completely disappeared. Although some of the Frost Guard priests can use simple defensive spells such as ice shield, the help provided by this level of auxiliary spells to the Frost Guard warriors is obviously not as good as that of the more professional auxiliary mages from the Archon. .

Shield, acceleration, huge strength, agility...

In order to allow the first batch of Avarosan elites to quickly enter the formation, the auxiliary mages of the Northern Expedition have come up with their own specialties. As auxiliary mages, their main responsibility is to study how to strengthen their comrades and avoid various spells. Interfere with each other and coordinate all gains.

So, when these Avarosan warriors stepped on the soil plateau and rushed up to the city wall, the Frost Guard warriors were not faced with the defeated generals before, but a group of guys with various magic auras shining on them, who were completely different from the past.

The Frostguard warriors who still had past impressions of the Avarosan warriors soon became unable to resist.

Fortunately, they had frequent contact with Frost Guard Priests. Seeing that the Avarosa Warriors with various buffs were incredibly powerful, these Frost Guard Warriors carefully chose to shrink their formation, waiting for the opponent's spells to expire, and at the same time Call the Frostguard Priests for support.

The guys who can become the Frost Guard Warriors are without exception those who have experienced hundreds of battles. They immediately realized the weaknesses of the Avarosa Warriors. As long as they cut off their connection with the mages behind them, and find a way to get rid of them. With the spells on them, these people will soon be driven off the city wall!

I have to say that the Frost Guard warriors have the right idea.

Even though the Frost Guard Priests do not use dispersing magic specifically to destroy the stability of spells, if these Avarosan warriors are targeted by spell attacks, the gains on them will soon lose their stability - magic will interact with each other. Interfering.

Soon, the magic aura of the first batch of Avarosa warriors who climbed onto the city wall gradually extinguished, and the Frost Guard warriors who had retreated step by step seemed to have another chance.

However, just when they were about to launch a counterattack, the second wave of siege troops stepped on the soil plateau and climbed onto the city wall.

The Northern Expeditionary Army entered the camp first, wearing heavy rune steel armor, holding shields and war hammers, and quickly climbed onto the city wall along the space that the Avarosan warriors had fought for them before, and formed a battle formation.

When the Frost Guard warriors finally began to counterattack like a tide, and were about to kill all the Avarosans who were pretending to be powerful, the wave of counterattack hit the Northern Expedition's first camp, which was as thick as a reef.

Although the super-standard rune steel armor sacrifices flexibility, it gains insane defense power.

Every piece of Forbidden Demon Stone armor worn by the soldiers of the First Camp is specially customized, with an average net weight of more than one ton - and the reason why they can move freely in this armor is not due to their natural divine power, but the internal power of the armor. A magic circuit carved by a magic pattern master.

Among the Demacian armies with standardized equipment, the Xianden Battalion is one of the few units where all equipment needs to be specially customized and cannot be fully standardized.

As for the warriors who put on these special armors, it was not too much to call them humanoid mechas. At least the Frost Guard warriors who faced them were all stunned after the first meeting.

Not to mention ordinary swords.

Even Zhenbing weapons cannot cause any effective damage unless they hit some gaps - and even if they hit the gaps, most of the time they are stuck, and the main damage caused is caused by Zhenbing. Frostbite.

When the enemy is completely unable to break through the defenses, the warriors who advance to the camp can easily rely on their solid formation to drive the Frost Guard warriors off the city wall bit by bit.

Yes, the relatively bulky First Camp warriors cannot easily hit the Frostguard Warriors most of the time, but what does it matter?

Their main task is to stand firm on the city wall and squeeze the enemy down!

Judging from the results, they completed the task well. Not only did the swords and spears of the Frost Guard warriors have no effect on them, but behind the Frost Guard warriors, the Frost Guard priests who took the time to release their most powerful spells cast spells. The result is nothing more than a mud cow drowning in the sea.

Generally speaking, the lethality brought by elemental magic mainly consists of two parts.

Part of it is the impact of the element itself. It is the energy carried by the chaotic magic that erupts when the magic dissipates after the elemental magic hits the target. It usually takes the form of impact, oscillation, crystallization, high temperature, etc. It is an energy attack.

The other part is the physical damage caused by the elemental entity itself, such as the cutting and piercing of ice blades, the crushing of earth and stone, etc.

The burning caused by being hit by a fireball and the burning caused by being roasted on the fire are not the same thing - the former can be absorbed by the Forbidden Demon Stone, while the latter will cause the Forbidden Demon Stone to change into hot.

Therefore, facing these first-in-command camps wearing super-standard rune steel armor, there is no way to deal with the Frost Guard Warriors and Frost Guard Priests on the city wall, unless all the Frost Guard Priests can work together to put more than 20 feet above the heads of these first-in-command warriors. They must create an iceberg somewhere, otherwise they will either be squeezed off the city wall or be killed by a war hammer.

There is no third way.

In the chaos, the only hope for the desperate Frost Guard warriors and Frost Guard priests was "Lissandra" in the city.

As long as the Frost Witch takes action, everything will be fine!

Think about that heavy snowfall before!

There is no way these warm-blooded people can win the final victory at Focalodna!

Believing in Lissandra's belief, the Frostguard warriors and Frostguard priests clung to the city wall, waiting bitterly for the turn of events to come.

They believe that their perseverance at this time is to buy precious time for Lissandra - last time, everyone saw the heavy snowfall after the Frost Witch held a ceremony, and this time is no exception!

However, they waited until the east wall was completely occupied by the coalition forces, and when the east gate was opened from the inside, there was no news of the Frost Witch's attack.

That's not the worst part, though.

Soon, the Frost Guard warriors and Frost Guard priests who were still retreating, still actively gathering, and still thinking of ways to retake the city gate got even worse news.

In fact, the Frost Witch has already taken action.

But she met the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition and His Majesty the Emperor of Demacia - Lux took matters into his own hands. Not only did he completely counter the spell of "Lissandra", he also used magic to defeat her in a head-on battle and captured her. Got her!

Finished!
