Chapter 941 [0932] Frost Bridge

The Frost Bridge across the Howling Abyss is not a bridge, but a composite defense system composed of a series of bridges and partitions, which has both connectivity and barrier functions.

Because the temperature inside the Howling Abyss is so low that even the Frost Dragon dares not go deep into it, the coalition's reconnaissance can only be limited to observation from high altitudes with Hex telescopes during the three days of rest, and it is impossible to really get close to the Frost Guard's defense system.

This made the coalition not fully aware of the complexity and comprehensiveness of the Frost Bridge's defense system - although in the hand-to-hand combat on the bridge, the coalition could rely on the advantage of magic assistance to create breakthroughs in local battlefields, but the Frost Guard relied on the overall defense of the Frost Bridge and easily coped with the coalition's offensive. A steady stream of follow-up troops came to support from directions that the coalition did not realize, and held up the front line.

This is the most direct reason for the embarrassing speed of the coalition's advancement today.

Considering that the main body of the Frost Bridge is at least ten miles long, if the coalition forces only advance slowly step by step, it will be difficult for them to reach the Frost Guard Fortress before their resources are exhausted.

This is definitely not an option.

"We must cut off the Frost Guard's transportation channel under the bridge." At the post-war summary meeting, Lux said firmly, "The speed of the soldiers' advance is not a problem. The key is that the enemy can always get reinforcements, and our reinforcements must pass through the bridge openly. We will be attacked by a round of long-range firepower before reaching the front line!"

Lux's words made everyone nod their heads - this is the most difficult part of today's attack. The enemy's reinforcements came from the side or even below the bridge. They were very complete before entering the battlefield, while our own support walked on the bridge. Before reaching the front line, they would be hit by the enemy's long-range firepower for about three rounds. How could the battle continue under such circumstances?

In fact, if the Avarosa warriors fighting on the front line were not strong enough, I am afraid that today's advancement distance of 100 yards would not be achieved!

"If we want to cut off the transport channel, we must find it first." Although the tribe suffered heavy casualties, Ashe has regained her composure, "Can the frost dragons get close to the bridge?"

"It's difficult. I have tried my best to communicate with them." Kalya shook her head gently, "Even if we mobilize forces to cast protective magic on them, they are unwilling to get close to the Howling Abyss - they are half-elemental creatures, and their sensitivity to elemental environments is far greater than that of humans. The Howling Abyss can be regarded as a hellish existence for them."

Kalya still had half of his words unsaid: the elemental dragons are allies and reinforcements, but after all, they are not part of the coalition. They are hired mercenaries in exchange for being promoted to ancient dragons. Mercenaries will not accept such a mission that is almost like sending themselves to death.

Although the elemental dragons have the beastly nature of impulsive energy, that only means that they are sometimes a little reckless, but they are definitely not stupid.

After hearing what Kalya said, the commanders of the Northern Expedition Army were fine, while the Avarosa people behind Ashe had already begun to curse the dragons in a low voice.

"Those cowardly lizards!"

"A winged bug is still a bug after all!"

"..."

"..."

Ashe was not satisfied with the result just like her tribe, but she did not complain, but raised her hand to stop the meaningless scolding. ,

"Since those elemental dragons are unwilling, let us do it ourselves!" Ashe said firmly, "The ice blood of Avarosa may not be as numerous as the Frostguard tribe, but there are no cowards. I can lead them to the side of the bridge and find and cut off the passage that has been replenishing the front line!"

"Let me do it!" At this moment, Tryndamere, who had been silently behind Ashe, stood up, "You are the commander, and the commander should not go out easily at this time."

Turning her head to look at her blood alliance, Ashe opened her mouth. She obviously wanted to say "You are not an ice blood", but before she opened her mouth, Tryndamere nodded to her, meaning "I can".

In this case, out of trust in Tryndamere, Ashe did not refuse after all.

Seeing that Ashe had agreed, Lux naturally had no reason to object.

"Mother Zhan, give me two teams, and I will set off tonight." Since he chose to accept this mission, Tryndamere simply put forward his own needs, "Take advantage of the cover of darkness, we take ropes and hooks, and slip over the side railings."

"The Archon can provide you with a little help." Lux added, "Although in this case, the Archon can't fight side by side with you, but at least before the battle, he can use spells to ensure that you will not be blown away by the wind of the Howling Abyss."

In this way, between you and me, a plan for a night raid was formed.

……………………

It was not the first time that Tryndamere was blessed by the Archon's spell.

But every time he was blessed by a spell, he would feel novel - for example, this time, the Archon blessed him with the Featherfall spell, which made him feel as light as a swallow.

"If it were somewhere else," the Archon captain who had cast the spell explained to him in his broken Freljord language, "this spell would allow you to fly like a seed that flies when the wind blows."

Since he didn't know how to say dandelion in Freljord, the other party used a slightly abstract description.

"Dandelion, right?" Tryndamere grinned and made a dandelion blowing motion, "How interesting."

"Ha, yes, it's the dandelion tactic." The other party nodded happily, "Unfortunately, the elemental environment here is too unfriendly. Even the wind element is terribly quiet, so this spell can't guarantee that you will jump up like a dandelion - it can only guarantee that if you fall, at least you have time to throw out your grappling hook."

"That's enough." Tryndamere showed a slightly scary smile, "I guarantee that those bastards will be amazed by this... God's Skyfall."

God's Skyfall was said in Demacia, with an inseparable Freljord accent, which sounded straightforward and vulgar.

This made the Archon laugh out loud, and he didn't stop smiling until all the commandos who participated in the operation were cast with a series of spells. Then he raised his hand and patted Tryndamere on the shoulder.

"Come on, come back safely."

"No problem." Tryndamere put his long knife on his back, checked the various ropes and tools he carried with him, and nodded to the other party, "Let's go!"

In this way, Tryndamere boarded the Frost Bridge with two warriors from the Mother of War.

At this moment, the frozen blood on the bridge had been simply cleaned up, and the simple fortifications seized from the Frostguard tribe within the bridge occupied by the coalition forces had been reinforced. Many Avarosa warriors and Archons were on guard at their posts, guarding against possible counterattacks from the enemy.

Tryndamere walked on the side close to the fence, turned left and right twice, and finally chose a railing and fixed one end of the hook on it. ,

Then, he let out the rope while walking towards the direction of the bridge near the enemy line, then fixed the other end at the forefront of his own line and tied the safety rope around his waist.

After making sure that both ends of the hook were stable enough, he finally took a deep breath, then climbed over the fence of the bridge, and under the protection of the rope, he fell off the bridge and fell into the Howling Abyss.

And the moment he fell off the bridge, a whistling sound like someone crying blew past him, blowing the rope swaying and blowing him close to the bottom of the bridge - taking this opportunity, Tryndamere tried to open his eyes wide and tried to see the situation under the bridge.

However, it was dark here, and he couldn't see his hand in front of him. Tryndamere couldn't see anything clearly.

In this case, he could only take out the specially equipped searchlight from the backpack on his waist, secretly hoping that it was really as Demacia said, "the light penetration distance is very short", and use it to shine on the bridge.

Then, Tryndamere saw a shocking scene - under the main bridge deck of the Frost Bridge in the Howling Abyss, there was no load-bearing structure, but another "bridge deck" that was the same as the bridge deck and seemed to be walkable!

Where the searchlight shone, this "bridge deck" hidden underneath did not look like a real thing at all, but a bridge deck that was indistinguishable from a normal bridge deck, as if a large army would walk through it upside down.

Such a scene, even when Tryndamere saw it for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a little tingling on his scalp.

Fortunately, he quickly stabilized his mind and began to look for a passage or something else along the back of the bridge body for people to pass through.

But after searching for a long time, he didn't find anything worth noting.

Where did those Frostguard warriors get on the bridge?

Full of doubts, Tryndamere wanted to put away the searchlight, but as the light shone downward, he was surprised to find that a wall protruded from the cliff of the Howling Abyss like a barb a few dozen yards away from his feet.

Although it was not clear in the shadows, it seemed that there was a rope starting from the end of the wall and connected to somewhere on the back of the bridge.

Is this the secret passage of the Frostguard tribe connecting to the Frost Bridge?

Tryndamere tried hard to remember the direction, then carefully turned off and put away the searchlight, and then began to swing on the swing with the feather fall spell in the cold wind.

Until he confirmed that the wind was indeed blowing in the direction of the wall, he cut the rope on the left with a knife, and swung himself to the wall with the rope on the right.

Tryndamere was lucky. After swinging twice, he successfully reached the partition wall. After dealing with two guards who were not aware of the situation, he finally loosened his rope and then shook it according to the agreed frequency.

[Safe, come quickly. ]

A moment later, following Tryndamere's rope, the two teams of battle mothers also successfully reached the partition wall.

After gathering everyone, they walked slowly towards the depths of the partition wall under the leadership of Tryndamere.

Then, as they walked, they were a little confused.

The end of this partition wall was located on the cliff of the Howling Abyss, connected to several plank roads, and these plank roads were crisscrossed like spider webs, connecting more thorny partition walls. Some of these partition walls went up, some went down, and they had no idea which ones led to the bridge of the Frost Bridge, let alone which ones ended under the Howling Abyss.

Let alone the two Battle Mothers.

In Tryndamere's opinion, even if all the Battle Mothers came here, he couldn't figure out the situation of these partitions and plank roads!

When were these plank roads and partitions built? !

What exactly are they built to defend?

At this moment, Tryndamere suddenly had a more intuitive understanding of the "terror under the abyss" that Ashe and Lux ​​said.

It was at this moment that he finally understood why he could climb this partition so easily and why the Frostguard tribe did not send many people to guard this partition - there were too many partitions. It was built only for vigilance and was not currently responsible for defense.

Gently shaking his head, Tryndamere threw those messy thoughts out of his mind and turned to look for a plank road going up with the Battle Mothers.

Although he didn't know the specific distribution of the plank roads and partitions, at least he was sure that if he wanted to support the bridge deck, the partitions close to the abyss would definitely not work, and it must be the partitions located high up!

With this idea in mind, Tryndamere and the Mother of War climbed up all the way, and soon found that the number of guards around them was increasing significantly.

Very good, this seemed to prove that they had found the right direction.

Feeling a little relieved, Tryndamere gestured behind him, and the Mother of War behind him immediately followed his instructions, lined up in a column, and entered a hidden state.

Ahead was a new wall - Tryndamere and the Mother of War must be careful enough, as this place was very close to the bridge deck of the Frost Bridge, and it was likely to be heavily guarded.

As Tryndamere gradually approached this wall, he soon felt fortunate for his caution - unlike the previous walls with only a few sentinels, quiet and silent, there were many people talking on this wall, and there were also footsteps of people walking around.

Obviously, there were many people stationed on this wall!

Listening to the size of these people's footsteps... It is very likely that the people stationed here are the reserve troops that have been supporting the battle on the bridge deck before!
