Chapter 892 [0889] The Disguise Was Exposed
Because she took action in advance, Lissandra was not able to obtain all of Volibear's 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 get familiar with this power, for Lissandra, this is enough to make her more calm when facing the great changes that Freljord has not seen in thousands of years.
In any case, the fake of Folkarodna can always delay for a while. Lissandra believes that the Demacians and Avarosa people will not easily launch an attack. The previous battle in the Black Forest has proved their cautious style. Before they are fully prepared, they will not easily launch an offensive against Folkarodna.
Moreover, even if the coalition launched an attack, they would not be able to take Folkarodna City for a while.
That is one of the most powerful cities in Freljord, and there are a large number of Frostguard Warriors and Frostguard Priests guarding the city. The long-range and melee, food and equipment are all complete. Under the will of defending the Frost Witch, it is almost impossible to cross it!
Unfortunately, Lissandra had never expected that Lux could easily see through the fake's disguise. The Frost Witch could never have imagined that Lux had lived with a real old monster since childhood, a person who used elemental incarnations.
Those details that ordinary people could not find or grasp at all, those small problems that were not problems at all, were extremely clear in Lux's eyes.
So, while Lissandra successfully completed her mission on the Bear Island, seized Volibear's power and sealed it up, in Forkalodna, Lux persuaded Ashe to decisively launch an attack on Forkalodna City.
Facts have proved that Lissandra not only underestimated Lux's insight into fakes, but also underestimated the Demacians' siege level.
Compared with the Frost Guard Priests with a single spellcasting mode, the Northern Expedition's Spellbinders easily completed spell suppression with Malphite as cover.
The Frost Guard priests are all gifted in spellcasting, and some of them have the Ice Bloodline. Any of them has the potential to be as good as Ino.
But the problem is that they obviously lack theoretical and systematic learning.
Unlike Kalja, who has average talent and likes to study theory and cultivate students, Lissandra herself has amazing talent and has an instinctive perception and manipulation of magic. In addition, she carries the secret of the monitor, so the Frost Guard priests have been trained on the path of mystics from the beginning.
This leads to the fact that the spellcasting of the Frost Guard priests is not only quite rough, but also lacks coordination.
Their talent is very good, but this good talent has not been systematically studied and cannot be effectively demonstrated.
As a result, the Frost Guard priests can only fight on their own. Even if they join forces to cast spells, they can only use spells like large-scale blizzards that "seek common ground while reserving differences and everyone can do it."
In contrast, the connection between the Northern Expedition's magicians is undoubtedly much closer and the means are more sophisticated.
While the Frost Guard priests were still roughly driving the power of elements to create large-scale spells, some of the Spellbenders had already approached the city wall with the cover of Malphite, and then targeted his spells.
Although they were all spellcasters, both sides were no longer in the same dimension in terms of spellcasting level and spell effects.
The Frost Guard priests focused on a large enough spell range and a powerful enough spell.
The Spellbenders had evolved to the stage of spell targeting, spell control competition, spell stability interference, and most importantly, multi-dimensional cooperation.
This was a generation gap brought about by complete theoretical crushing.
Even if the Frost Guard priests had more magic power and better talents, they were at a loss when facing the Spellbenders' spell countermeasures.
They had never seen these things!
Therefore, from the first day of the siege of Fokarodna, a situation that stunned Ashe had appeared - those Frost Guard priests who seemed much more powerful than the Spell Guardians quickly silenced their fire on the city walls, and the firepower of the defenders was reduced by more than half.
The spells from the Northern Expedition Army quickly suppressed the direction of the city wall.
What's more terrible is that in addition to the part of the spell-breaking mages who are responsible for spell counterattack, the proficiency of the engineering mages who specialize in siege technology within the Spell Guardians is also quite amazing.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when it is difficult to interfere with the city walls, the earth began to rise as if it came alive, providing the attackers with a large number of earthen plateaus that can be used as a stepping ground.
Even to prevent slipping, large areas of winter sedge grew on the earthen plateau.
This plant, which grows on the ground and has fine barbs on its leaves and vines, covered the front of the earthen plateau in the blink of an eye, laying a thick and reliable carpet for the attackers.
During the Demacia Civil War, the Archons had to rely on building ice stairs to attack the city. Due to the inconvenience, the performance of the Northern Walkers in the Battle of Urwendel was not very good, and they failed to successfully capture Urwendel.
This was certainly due to the fact that the walls of Urwendel were mixed with a large number of forbidden magic stones, which made it difficult for the Archons to perform well. However, the lack of internal subdivision of the Archons 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 the more professional auxiliary mages of 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, what the Frost Guard warriors faced was not 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 warhammers, 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.
Each 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!
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 the Frost Guard Priests who were behind the Frost Guard Warriors and who quickly released their most powerful spells also had no effect.
Generally speaking, the lethality brought by elemental magic is mainly composed of two parts.
One part is the impact of the element itself, which is the energy carried by the chaotic magic that erupts when the elemental magic hits the target and the magic dissipates. It usually manifests itself in the form of impact, vibration, crystallization, high temperature, etc., which is an energy attack.
The other part is the physical damage brought by the elemental entity itself, such as the cutting and piercing of ice blades, the crushing of earth and rocks, etc.
Many burnings caused by being hit by fireballs are not the same as the burnings caused by being roasted on fire - the former can be absorbed by the forbidden magic stone, while the latter will make the forbidden magic stone hot.
Therefore, facing these first-line soldiers wearing oversized 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 create an iceberg more than 20 feet above the heads of these first-line warriors, otherwise their result will be either being squeezed off the city wall or being smashed to death by war hammers.
There is no third way.
In the chaos, the only hope for the desperate Frost Guard Warriors and Frost Guard Priests is "Lissandra" in the city.
As long as the Frost Witch takes action, everything will be fine!
Think about the heavy snow before!
These warm-blooded people can't win the final victory in Fokarodna!
The belief in Lissandra made the Frost Guard Warriors and Frost Guard Priests hold on to the city wall tightly, waiting for the turnaround.
They believe that their persistence at this time is to buy precious time for Lissandra-last time, everyone saw the heavy snow after the Frost Witch held the ceremony, and this time is no exception!
However, they waited and waited until the eastern city wall was completely occupied by the coalition forces, and until the eastern gate was opened from the inside, but they still did not receive any news about the Frost Witch's move.
However, this was not the worst part.
Soon, the Frost Guard warriors and Frost Guard priests who were still retreating, actively gathering, and trying to retake the city gates received even worse news.
In fact, the Frost Witch had already taken action.
It was just that she met the commander of the Northern Expedition Army, the Emperor of Demacia, Lux, who took action personally. Not only did she completely counter the spells of "Lissandra", she also defeated her with magic in a head-on battle and captured her!
It's over!
Karya's small class: The underlying logic of magic:
In Runeland, magic is a special kind of energy. It is neither physical nor chemical, but a unique energy with its own laws.
