Chapter 998 Siege!
When the Noxian army really fought the Empire, they found that the so-called powerful Empire was just a paper tiger that would break with a single poke.
They had always thought that the Empire was very powerful, but they found out after the real fight.
Hey, that's it?
As the war deepened, the Noxian army became more and more courageous, while the Empire's army became weaker and weaker.
They began to hide in the city, hoping to rely on the solidity of the city walls to resist the attack of Noxus.
However, they soon discovered that defending the city was not so easy. Especially when the other side had overwhelming strength, the solidity of the city walls was just a fragile barrier.
The Noxian warriors were good at attacking cities and finding flaws in battle. They sent masters and strong men to sneak into the city, like ghosts in the dark night, quietly approaching the high-level officials of the Empire.
They only needed one blow to catch all the high-level officials in the city and plunge the entire city into chaos.
Or, they could open the city gates directly and let the Noxian army flood into the city like a flood, completely conquering the city.
If the empire's territory was not too vast, Noxus might have already spread the flames of war to the imperial capital and completely destroyed the once glorious empire.
The Noxian army surged to every corner of the empire like a tide.
They conquered one city after another, expanding the territory of the empire.
However, such expansion was not smooth sailing.
Noxian soldiers needed to spend a lot of time on the road, and at the same time they had to divide their troops to conquer the cities that had just been conquered.
Although this process was difficult, it was only a matter of time for Noxus.
However, what puzzled the empire was that Noxus did not seem to need to spend too much time managing the conquered cities.
They seemed to have a magical power that could quickly settle down the conquered cities and even begin to support Noxus' rule.
This made the empire's generals begin to wonder whether Noxus's military strength was more than they had imagined?
In fact, the reason why Noxus can do this is not because they have endless military forces.
But because they occupy the righteousness and are deeply loved by the people.
Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world.
In the process of conquest, Noxus did not take cruel repressive measures, because they knew who their enemies were, and those civilians did not need to be suppressed at all.
They only need to take good care of the landlords and nobles, who are the most likely to resist the rule of Noxus.
Of course, the lack of Noxus's troops is also a problem that cannot be ignored. However, this problem has not become an obstacle to their expansion. Because the reincarnations brought all kinds of magical legion-level preparations.
Some people took out the replication center, which can continuously replicate Noxus's soldiers; some people took out the production line of Terminator T-800, and these cyborg warriors became an important force in the Noxus army.
T-800 is the main force of Skynet, and they are directly put into the battlefield in the form of super alloy robots. These cyborg warriors are not only faster than traditional soldiers, but also lighter and stronger.
Their armor can withstand most small-caliber contemporary weapons, and sometimes even direct hits from grenade launchers. At the same time, because the material is tantalum alloy, they are more resistant to molten steel and corrosive agents.
These T-800 warriors play a huge role on the battlefield. They can infiltrate the enemy's interior and carry out assassinations, sabotage and other tasks.
At the same time, they can also serve as vanguard troops to provide fire support for Noxus' soldiers. With the addition of these cyborg warriors, Noxus' army has become invulnerable on the battlefield.
It's a pity that no one has the production capacity of Warhammer chess pieces or the production of StarCraft Terrans.
A large number of T-800s and clone soldiers filled the gap in Noxus's military strength, allowing them to control the captured cities well and have sufficient troops to attack.
Expanding Noxus's territory will make Noxus more difficult to be eliminated, and the chances of winning the faction war will be greater.
In addition to the T-800 warriors, there are also some reincarnations strengthened by necromancers who resurrected the army of the dead to assist in the attack.
Although these armies of the dead do not have the wisdom and consciousness they had in their lifetime, they are huge in number and have amazing combat power.
They are like an immortal army, charging for Noxus on the battlefield and being invincible.
With the help of the Reincarnators, the Noxian army was unstoppable and invincible.
They soon brought the flames of war to the city of the Imperial City.
The one million troops were divided into two sides and surrounded several exits of the Imperial City.
Although the defenders of the Imperial City fought bravely, they soon fell into trouble under the powerful offensive of Noxus.
The Reincarnators knew the existence of the Supreme Throne and the Protector of the Nation, so they did not intend to send troops directly into the Imperial City to die.
Instead, they adopted the strategy of cutting off the supply line of the Imperial City. A huge city cannot be self-sufficient, not to mention that there is not much open space for planting inside the Imperial City.
Therefore, the resource supply of the Imperial City must rely on external sources. The Noxian army only needs to block the supply line of the Imperial City to make the Imperial City fall into trouble and surrender without a fight.
At the same time, the Noxian army did not continue to attack other directions of the empire.
Because they knew that as long as they took the imperial capital and controlled the central system of the entire empire, the remaining forces of the empire in other places would have to surrender or resist stubbornly and then be eliminated.
The imperial capital was also very anxious, and Minister Ernest had already started to pack up and run away.
Now the little emperor did not trust him at all, and the four Rakshasa ghosts also betrayed him and became Li Si's people. Minister Ernest could be said to have nothing except status.
And such a status is about to end today.
Li Si sent Ma Tou and Suzuka to take back the gem Imperial Tool Ileston on Minister Ernest's head.
So before Minister Ernest had time to run away, Ma Tou and Suzuka came to him, and then Minister Ernest decisively surrendered.
Although he was also from the Royal Fist Temple and had strong fighting skills, he was too old, and his vengeful eating of meat over the years had caused his body to be seriously out of shape, so he could not exert much strength. If he fought with Matou and Suzuka, he would die.
Matou and Suzuka did not make things difficult for him. They took Ileston away and let Minister Ernest go.
