Chapter 282 [0280] Revisiting the Old Place

Quilleta's plan, in some ways, has a lot in common with the Noxian siege that Karya had proposed but Lux had not accepted.

The key to both plans lies in the loss of Noxus's maritime power today - after the Battle of Dalu Bay, Noxus's Sea Watch Fleet was almost completely destroyed, and Besilico and Fendo could unscrupulously support each other and replenish supplies through sea transportation.

You know, both Besilico and Fendo are located at the foot of the magnificent barrier, and are natural pass-type cities.

The biggest feature of this kind of city is that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, because there is limited open space outside the city, and it is difficult for the army to deploy. Take Besilico as an example. Although the city is oval in shape and has four main walls, one side is close to the sea and the two sides are cliffs. In fact, there is only a not very flat open land in the east of the city, which can be used as a siege direction.

After hiring Zaun people to reinforce this part of the city wall and storing enough defense materials here, Quelleta is confident that he can rely on this wall to deal the heaviest blow to the Noxian army!

The Noxian siege network conceived by Kalja is essentially the same idea - but because of the better relationship with Bilgewater and the ready-made trade links with Ni Town and Kumangla, he can provide safer and more adequate maritime support.

Besilico dared to raise the flag of rebellion, mainly relying on the strong support of the local noble family, the Durren family.

But according to Kalja's idea, if he joined the Noxian siege network, then through commercial cooperation, Besilico could even become a dedicated war fortress, which would make Noxus feel like a thorn in his throat.

In short, in Quelleta's view, as long as Amyness is willing to act with him, she will be invincible in this war!

Besilico... will eventually become the burial place of the Noxian Empire!

The empire that once gave everyone a fair chance has long gone. At this time, Noxus is nothing more than an expansion machine that regards its citizens as firewood!

Such a Noxus is better to be destroyed!

……………………

Quilleta obviously didn't know that her calculations had long been seen through by others, and Swain also took advantage of the situation and united with the Fendor Warband to kill Amynis who was in contact with Quilleta.

Through the correspondence between the two parties and Amynis's actions in recent times, Swain quickly figured out Quilleta's overall plan.

In this case, although Darius did not agree with some of Swain's ideas, he still chose to adopt Swain's plan-especially after arriving outside the city of Besilico and trying to attack the city twice.

Although Darius did not send out the small mage group he had finally formed in the north during the two consecutive sieges, the defense on the walls of Besilico still gave him a headache.

Darius, who has been fighting the Freljordians in the North for many years, knows better than anyone how disgusting this kind of fortress is.

In the Ironthorn Mountains in the North, a series of Noxian fortresses are like keys, firmly blocking the Freljordians' passage to the south. No matter how hard the Freljord barbarians try, they can only crash their heads and bleed under the fortresses.

You know, the environment in the North is extremely unsuitable for Noxus to move. Noxians are not resistant to low temperatures. If Noxian weapons are used in high-cold conditions and are not maintained for half a day, they will be broken by heavy blows.

Therefore, even if the Freljordians are not highly organized and have a low armor rate, they are still no match for Noxians in field battles.

But even so, the Freljords had no way to deal with the Noxian fortress city on the line of the Ironthorn Mountains. This kind of fortress with dangerous terrain and targeted reinforcement could not make any substantial breakthroughs even if the Freljords sent large pack animals to attack the city walls.

And now, Darius, who had always been on the defensive and led the team to raid only occasionally, finally had to turn around and face this damn fortress wall as the attacker.

The effect of the two sieges was extremely poor. When the team was deployed on the gentle slope, it was already included in the bombing range of the long-range catapults on the top of the city. Although Besilico's catapults were not very accurate, the deployment range was limited, so they could bomb at will.

Then, in the two attempted attacks, before the team even approached the city wall, the casualties of the soldiers reached 30% - even Darius could not bear this level of loss!

Therefore, Darius decisively adopted Swain's plan, setting up camp and pretending to be in a siege, while sending a small number of troops along the path at the foot of the magnificent barrier mountain to Fendor.

He did a full show. During this period, he tried to attack the city again and tried to send the mage group to the battlefield to see if he could break through a section of the city wall. However, it turned out that although Zaun's magic-forbidden armor looked ugly, its defense was still relatively reliable. The mage group released several waves of war magic on the top of the city under cover, but the effect was not very good.

In this way, Darius had to admit that it was simply impossible to capture Besilico head-on.

Then the next step was to wait for news from Swain!

In this way, Darius, who could do nothing but wait for the time being, finally took some time to revisit the old place.

Almost in a moment of daze, Darius's legs seemed to have their own ideas and took him to the shore of Black Rock Lake.

After many years, Darius came here again. He looked at the calm lake, but his mood was not calm at all.

This Black Rock Lake carries Darius's memories, past, and a love that ended without success. He had had countless joys with Quelleta here, but the two ended up being separated because of wars again and again, and even now they are fighting each other.

In the dense forest, there was no breeze, and the mirror-like lake water made Darius very irritable. He leaned down and picked a flat stone like a child, weighed it and held it in his hand.

He held his breath and concentrated, and the next moment, he suddenly exerted force from his waist and abdomen and threw the stone out.

The stone passed over the water, splashing a series of ripples, and finally sank to the bottom of the water with a thud.

At the same time, behind Darius, a group of birds were startled in the dense forest. A moment later, Draven, covered in blood, came out of the dense forest with a few heads in his hand.

"Skipping stones is not as interesting as chopping people!"

Karlya's small class: Skipping stones:

In terms of throwing objects, the only thing Darius is better than Draven is skipping stones.

Additional chapter 28/30, this volume is about to end, a little later tonight, there will be the epilogue of this volume - a super long chapter!
