Chapter 890 [0887] Is This Lissandra?

Compared with Noxus, Avarosa's losses were undoubtedly much smaller - not only because Ashe retreated as soon as she saw the situation was not good, but also because Lissandra did not pursue, but returned to Fokarodna leisurely, seemingly not taking Ashe seriously at all.

This undoubtedly made the morale of Avarosa's warriors quite low.

Although they did not show any resistance to the battle and were still willing to obey Ashe's leadership and command, it was indeed difficult for Ashe to continue any military operations in the short term.

Fortunately, good news came from the south at this time. The Demacia Northern Expedition defeated Noxus in a battle in the Black Forest, which slightly boosted the low morale of the Avarosa people.

Although Avarosa did not have a very clear understanding of Demacia's combat effectiveness, according to the standards of Freljord, more people meant stronger combat power and warriors meant a breakthrough point. Even if they did not understand the combat effectiveness of the Demacia Northern Expedition, at least they recognized Laxana herself.

With such a warm-blooded warrior leading the Demacia Northern Expedition, it shouldn't be too bad, right?

As the news spread, the morale of the Avarosa warriors was obviously restored. With Ashe's encouragement, they finally set out for Fokarodna again after a rest, and formed a pincer attack with the Northern Expedition, half-surrounding the fortress from the east and the west again.

After completing the meeting, these Avarosa warriors were very surprised to find that it seemed that this Demacia Northern Expedition seemed to be more capable than expected.

Each of those big stone statues was bigger than the largest Enuk in Avarosa, and even their height was almost comparable to the walls of Fokarodna City - with these big guys, everyone didn't even need to climb a ladder to rush to the wall!

Obviously, the Freljord people didn't know that the Malphites were not siege weapons, but multifunctional battle fortresses. The "way to use" these Malphites was not to carry siege soldiers to the top of the city, but to attack the walls of Freljord directly under the cover of the guardians and guards!

Under the city of Fokarodna, Lux and Ashe met again and studied and formulated a follow-up battle plan.

Because they were a coalition force, without unified command, the Avarosa warriors and the Demacia Northern Expedition Army were not easy to join forces.

The fighting method that really suited them was actually to each be responsible for part of the battlefield and bear part of the responsibility.

Now that the city of Fokarodna was in front of them, the division of labor naturally became one responsible for the west line and one responsible for the east line.

Considering that there were many Frost Guard warriors in the city of Fokarodna, the sieges in these two directions did not need to be divided into a primary and a secondary, and both could be attacked with all their strength.

Although the terrain of Fokarodna severely restricts the deployment of large-scale military formations, considering that Avarosa has a large number of archers and spearmen, and the number of Malphites responsible for the first-line siege mission of the Demacia Northern Expedition is limited, the width of the battlefield will not be a big problem.

Compared with the deployment of troops, the real trouble lies in the siege itself and Lissandra in the city.

"So, what kind of existence is Lissandra?" Lux undoubtedly attaches great importance to this point. She asked Ashe the first question, "What is the range of her spells? How powerful is it?"

"This is what I need to tell you." When Lux asked this question, Ashe's expression became very serious, "Remember the thunderstorm we saw in the Ancient Frost Mouth?"

Lux nodded.

Although the bears who attacked her died miserably, she was still very impressed by the roaring thunder that night.

"You don't mean to say that her spells have the power and scale of Volibear, do you?"

Facing Lux's expression of "Sister, don't tease me", Ashe sighed helplessly.

"I really hope this is a joke, but the fact is that when we barely adapted to the warriors and priests of the Frostguard tribe and were about to take back the initiative on the battlefield, Lissandra's spells completely enveloped this place." Speaking of this topic, even Ashe's tone was still depressed, "Look at the snow on the ground, it hasn't melted completely for so long."

"This snow, was created by her?" Lux realized the seriousness of the problem, "You mean, this heavy snow is not because of the altitude of the Dragon Ridge Mountains, but because of Lissandra's spells?"

"That's right." Ashe nodded, "Although Fokarodna is located at the foot of the mountain, there is usually no snow at this time."

Listening to this, Lux nodded silently.

No wonder she always felt that something was wrong here, but she couldn't see what was wrong for a while - it turned out that the problem was the snow here.

This snow was not the snow above the snow line, but the heavy snow left by Lissandra's spell!

"Wait a minute." Thinking of this, Lux was suddenly shocked, "At least ten miles away to the east, we saw snow on the ground!"

"Yes, this is the power of Lissandra's spell." Ashe nodded, "It's a good thing it's not winter now, otherwise at least one-third of the warriors in the tribe will lose their combat effectiveness with the arrival of a heavy snow."

Now it was Lux's turn to be silent.

Unlike Ashe, who knew nothing about the Northern Expedition, Lux had a relatively clear understanding of the Freljord warriors. Although the Freljordians were more adapted to the relatively cold climate, this adaptation was not unlimited.

Except for the almost mutant existence of the Ice Bloodline, the adaptation of other Freljordians to the cold was completely within the scope of humans.

If the lowest habitable temperature for the Demacians was not less than minus 20 degrees Celsius, then for the Freljordians, temperatures above minus 50 degrees Celsius were also fatal. So in winter, even if the Freljordians wanted to fight, they would generally go south to plunder, rather than fight for territory in the interior.

If Ashe's description was not exaggerated, it meant that if this snow occurred in winter, it would be enough to make normal Freljordians lose their combat effectiveness.

Even if it was summer now, this snow should be enough to make the Northern Expedition feel seriously uncomfortable.

Although considering the battlefield factors, a considerable number of members of the Northern Expedition Army were former snow walkers, and Lux ​​also equipped them with a full set of cold-resistant equipment to cope with the normal winter temperature in Freljord, but this does not mean that they can ignore the negative effects of extreme climate.

Lissandra can transform the climate into this state by herself... From Lux's perspective, she really can't imagine how amazing her spellcasting level and magic reserve are.

In other words, from the perspective of Ashe and the Avarosans, the Frost Witch is "the heir of Lissandra who can stir up a heavy snow." Although the snow is heavy, they don't actually understand how amazing the energy contained in the snow is.

On the contrary, Lux, an "intellectual" who has studied the advanced elemental theory, can better understand the horror of the heavy snow covering at least 20 miles.

It's simply jaw-dropping.

However, after a moment of surprise, Lux suddenly remembered the assassination she had encountered in Xiongdu.

It was also an abnormally heavy snowfall. The assassins attacked in the snow, and were killed by themselves on the spot. That assassination became the beginning of the internal purge of Demacia, but the reason for that snowfall is still unknown.

However, from the subsequent investigation, that incident seems to have a lot to do with Lissandra.

Could it be... the same this time?

Blinking her eyes, Lux suddenly found a blind spot.

She tried to put Ino in the picture - if this snowfall was summoned by Ino, then, with the ability to summon such a heavy snowfall, is it possible for Ino to change the method and kill the Avarosa army directly?

Although the power of the spell is affected by many factors and it is difficult to give an accurate conclusion, the general effect can still be estimated slightly. Even if the environmental interference factor is maximized and most beneficial to the casting, Lux can confirm that if Ino can summon such a heavy snowfall, he should be able to directly summon an ice blizzard with a diameter of at least 500 yards.

An ice blade blizzard of this scale, as long as it falls on the Avarosa army, is enough to make them completely collapse.

But Lissandra did not do that.

Why?

Because the Frost Witch is merciful, does not want the ice bloodline to bleed because of the civil war, and hopes that the Avarosa people will retreat?

This is of course impossible.

She did not do this, it must not be because she did not want to.

It can only be because she can't.

Then, the question is-why can Lissandra summon 20 miles of heavy snow, but not 500 yards of ice blade blizzard?

This question is very interesting.

It doesn't make sense in terms of elemental magic, absolutely not.

But it did happen-even now that the Demacia Northern Expedition Army has arrived in the east of the city, Lissandra did not summon a devastating ice blade blizzard attack.

Apart from the weird factors such as "Lissandra's IQ is problematic and her spellcasting level is unstable", the most likely answer is that this heavy snow is not Lissandra's own power.

She may have relied on something unknown to make this heavy snow fall, and her reliance can make her snow, but it can't make her have an ice blade blizzard.

Thinking of this, Lux began to carefully ask for other information about Lissandra, starting with Lissandra's appearance and spellcasting.

Although Ashe didn't know why Lux asked these questions, because of the previous trial journey, she had already regarded Lux ​​as a like-minded companion, and she gave as detailed answers as possible to all of Lux's questions.

From Lissandra's dress, gestures, and verbal behavior, as long as Ashe could remember and confirm it, she told Lux ​​everything.

And the more Lux listened, the more interesting it felt.

Although the spell was amazingly powerful, apart from that, Lissandra herself did not show even a little bit of the characteristics of a powerful spellcaster.

There was no elemental disturbance, let alone spontaneous elemental vortexes.

Although this may be due to the error and bias caused by Ashe not being an elemental spellcaster, when all the details point together, things become subtle.

Then, an interesting idea came up.

"Perhaps, before the battle begins, I should try to meet the Frost Witch."

……………………

It is not easy to meet Lissandra.

But it is still easy for Lux to meet her - don't forget, she still has the captive of the Frost Guard Priest in her hand!

Under the cover of three Malphite combat units, Lux came to Forkalodna and took the initiative to ask to meet Lissandra.

When the Frostguard warriors on the city wall expressed disdain, she simply showed the Frostguard priests in her hand.

"If you are willing to talk, these Frostguard priests may be sent back!"

The Frost Witch was held.

Without an excuse, Lissandra could have refused to meet Lux.

But now Lux has the Frostguard priests sent by the Noxians, and Lissandra can't miss them anyway.

This is unreasonable from any angle. Not only will it make Lissandra look cowardly, but it will also make the Frostguard warriors and Frostguard priests hesitate.

So, in Lux's expectation, she met the Frost Witch.

When Lissandra's figure appeared on the top of Forkalodna, Lux focused all her attention on her.

This is a tall guy. Even among the Freljordians, Lissandra's height can be called a crane standing out from the crowd.

Moreover, unlike ordinary Freljordians, Lissandra has very obvious traces of elementalization on her body - her elementalization is completely different from that of Kalya. Kalya used elements to shape her body, while Lissandra's body is partially elementalized and partially flesh and blood.

Due to the long distance, Lux did not know how the two parts were transformed and stabilized, but it can be confirmed that the other party's form is indeed not an ordinary person.

However, what is interesting is that in the perception of elements, Lissandra on the top of the city gave Lux a sense of ease - all kinds of elemental reactions proved that she was not a strong elemental creature.

Lux, who has been with Kalya for a long time, still knows a lot about elemental life.

Even Kalya, although he looks like a human with a mask and gloves except that he does not need to eat, drink, defecate or urinate in daily life, if he is observed with elemental vision and observed with advanced elemental deduction, he will inevitably reveal traces of elements.

The elemental ripples during action and the elemental disturbances during spellcasting are all traceable.

You know, Kalya has his own small world, and his body is not in Runeland!

This body that appeared in Runeland is essentially a "movable elemental anchor connecting the small world and Runeland", which is Kalya's observation port and output end in the small world - but even so, his actions will still cause elemental fluctuations.

But Lissandra on the top of the city... the elemental fluctuations are even smaller than Kalya!

Lissandra?

That's clearly a puppet!

Kalya's small class·Kalya's elemental body:

From beginning to end, Kalya's body exists in his own small world, which is his means to avoid the erosion of the void.

And the part that used to be Lux's hilt is the darkin body he gave up; the current masked form is his elemental projection.

And the darkin body and elemental projection together constitute the anchor point connecting the small world to Runeland.

Karya's real body is always in his own little world, suppressing the demons and occasionally drawing some of the demon's power.
