The atmosphere of war is brewing in the north, but in the south, it has really broken out!
Noxus has declared war on Ionia!
The steel fleet crossed the ocean and headed straight for the harbor city of Ionia!
At the same time, a legion is also approaching Shuangcheng from the sea on a battleship!
Regarding the invasion of Noxus, the Twin Cities received the news immediately!
It's LeBlanc.
LeBlanc, who had already returned to Noxus, sent a clone to inform Camille that Noxus wanted to invade the Twin Cities.
At the same time, LeBlanc also expressed apologies for not being able to stop the domestic decision to send troops to Shuangcheng.
She has tried her best to make the puppet emperor controlled by the 'Black Rose' speak, but it is useless only if the emperor does not want to invade the twin cities.
The other generals were all in favor of including the twin cities into the empire's territory while invading Ionia.
Especially the most prestigious generals Du Kecao, General Darius, and General Swain.
The three of them unanimously agreed to take the Shuangcheng by the way, and made other generals and nobles also voice their opposition to the emperor's decision.
The puppet emperor's objection was invalid, so he could only allow General Darius to send troops, and his younger brother Delevingne led the army to attack the Shuangcheng.
When LeBlanc came to inform Shuangcheng, she looked very embarrassed.
He has controlled Noxus behind the scenes for hundreds of years, and now he was taught a good lesson by those generals!
She swears! Absolutely want revenge back!
Everyone in the Twin Cities didn't care whether LeBlanc was acting or not, they didn't have the energy to care, they were all preparing for the battle!
Heimerdinger moaned all day long.
But he had to work with Victor to cooperate with Jess Tallis, and they changed all the defense artillery into hex energy cannons!
Camille gave the command of the agents to Myrdalda.
She left for Demacia.
Now that Noxus has become a common enemy, there is the possibility of further diplomatic relations between the Twin Cities and Demacia.
Everyone in Picheng is busy, and everyone in Zaun is not idle either.
Silko stepped up the production of the shimmer potion, while Van der stabilized the hearts of the people.
It's not to appease the people not to be afraid, but to ask the people to suppress their fighting spirit and not to attack without permission and cause insignificant sacrifices.
There is no one in Zaun who is timid.
Coupled with the fact that the body has been strengthened by the low-light potion, the people of Zaan are not afraid of trouble now.
If Fandre hadn't stopped it in time, I'm afraid there would have been people from Zaun fighting to intercept the Noxus fleet long ago!
Time passed slowly in the days of waiting for the war to come.
Half a month later, the battleship of Noxus finally arrived!
The twin cities have already opened the city shield, and the soldiers are also concentrated in Pierwater.
On the cliff-like defense line, heroes and law enforcement officials gathered on the city wall.
The expressions of the crowd were somewhat polarized.
The heroes are calm and calm, but the law enforcement officers can't do it.
Most of the law enforcement officials in Piltover trembled, but looking at the law enforcement officials in Zaun, they were simply excited!
Not long after, Heimerdinger sounded a reminder.
He sighed and said: "The local fleet has entered the shooting range, shall we fire?"
"Let's fire! Let them taste the power of our two cities!"
Van der shouted, and walked towards a hex energy cannon.
Seeing this, Shirko immediately stopped: "Stop the idiot!"
He scolded: "Let the enemy go deeper! We want them to retreat!"
These words not only stopped Van der, but even Jess Tallis, who also wanted to shoot, also stopped.
And on the side of the sea fleet.
As the commander, Draven stood on the bow of the main ship. After looking at the defense line of Piltover, he couldn't help but sneered and said, "Interesting, there is something about the city's defense line."
He turned and summoned an lieutenant, pointing to the gap in the canal left by Zaun's ascension.
"Leave a small number of manpower on the main ship and let the soldiers go to the small boats. After that, I will let the main ship stand in front to attract firepower. You command the small warships to enter the canal and log in to fight from there!"
"General." The adjutant hesitated slightly: "In that case, the main ship may..."
"It doesn't matter." Draven grinned indifferently: "Isn't Pierwater very rich? When this war is won, the spoils will probably be enough to rebuild two or more main ships!"
Hearing this, the adjutant stopped persuading him, nodded and retreated, and went to carry out Delevingne's order.
The battleship formation of Noxus has changed very quickly!
Except for the huge steel main ship that was still driving at the forefront, the other warships slowed down one after another and hid behind the main ship.
Everyone in the two cities on the defensive line discovered this.
Silko and Camille said at the same time: "Fire."
Grayson and Marcus immediately shouted orders!
The next moment, all the energy cannons on the cliff wall fired at the same time!
Dozens of energy balls rushed towards the ocean, and began to concentrate during the flight!
In the blink of an eye, the first energy ball exploded on the main ship's hull!
An energy explosion with a diameter of nearly ten meters! In an instant, all substances within the range of power were burned!
Some Noxus soldiers were affected because they couldn't dodge in time.
They died instantly!
After the burst of energy dissipated, several red-covered corpses of soldiers were exposed.
They have no scars on the outside, but their internal organs have already been shattered under the impact of energy!
But no one has found out the details of those bodies, because more shells have arrived!
"hide!!!"
After discovering the explosive power of the first energy cannonball, Delevingne knew that this kind of attack could not be resisted!
So he immediately shouted to the soldiers on the deck: "Everyone hide in the cabin!!"
The soldiers who ordered the prohibition acted immediately!
Even though there were successive energy explosions rising on the deck, the soldiers quickly rushed towards the entrances into the cabins!
Soon, the first wave of artillery attacks ended.
For the Twin Cities, the result is not satisfactory.
The power of the energy cannon is indeed good, as can be seen from the nearly a hundred corpses on the battleship deck.
However, energy cannons still have limitations!
That is, the lethality is enough, but the destructiveness is somewhat insufficient!
After a round of bombardment, the main ship of Noxus was not damaged at all!
Everyone discovered this, but they couldn't do anything about it.
After all, all the artillery on the defense line have been remodeled by Jess Tallis and the others.
In desperation, everyone could only continue to let the Hex energy cannon fire, and hit the energy shells on the Noxus main ship one by one!
But it didn't work at all!
The Noxus main ship that looked like a mountain was slowly approaching the twin cities, and it was about to enter the canal soon.
"Cowen!"
Shirko sighed and said, "Let Jinx take action."
Kewen nodded slightly, and used magic to send a notification to Jinx in Zaun.
The next moment, Zuan, who was floating quietly in the sky, suddenly changed!
The translucent city shield has almost turned into substance, and the huge rune circle slowly winds and flows on top of that shield!
Soon, a magic circle in the shape of multi-layer concentric circles formed on the shield!
boom-
The beam of energy burst out suddenly!
A beam of energy light tens of meters in diameter instantly fell into the ocean!
That beam of light did not directly hit the Noxus fleet! But that doesn't mean it's out of water.
Because it didn't take long before a vortex with a range of thousands of meters appeared!
The vortex sucks all the ships of the Noxus fleet!
Except for the main ship that can fight, the other small warships are all gradually approaching the center of the vortex!
The first battleship to reach the center of the vortex appeared!
But after touching the energy beam connecting the sky and the earth, the metal hull turned into molten iron in an instant, and then vaporized into blue smoke in an instant!
The entire battleship was soon completely swallowed by the beam of light, and then the second battleship was sucked into the center by the vortex!
A large number of soldiers began to jump into the sea!
But it won't save their lives!
The soldiers who fell into the vortex struggled helplessly, they could only watch helplessly as the battleship was vaporized, and watched themselves being brought to the light beam by the vortex!
On the main ship, Draven discovered this through the observation window!
His eyes are tearing apart!
After hesitating for a short moment, he immediately shouted: "Raise the white flag!"
There are soldiers who immediately go to carry out the order.
And Delevingne continued to yell: "Damn Pierwater! Damn Zaun! My reputation has been ruined by you!!"
On the defense line of Piltover, everyone soon saw the white flag raised by the main ship of Noxus!
Countless people cheered loudly!
None of them expected it! This war was won so easily!
The MPs laughed too.
Heimerdinger especially, nothing would make him happier than killing less.
"Hurry up!"
Heimerdinger jumped and urged Cowen: "Tell Jinx to stop!"
Corvin wanted to say something, but he gave up again.
He sent the signal to Jinx again, and the giant beam from Zaun was quickly extinguished!
But the vortex caused by the light beam did not disappear immediately.
The vortex still dragged the small battleships towards the center.
But without that powerful beam, at least the soldiers of Noxus could barely survive.
After all, the power of the vortex is rapidly weakening. Even if the battleships are sucked into the center, it will only cause those battleships to collide with each other, and it will not cause the battleships to fall into the deep sea.
On the defense line of Piltover, everyone looked at the chaotic scene on the Noxus side.
The people on the Zaan side didn't care, but the people in Picheng were a little soft-hearted.
"Should we send someone to help?"
Grayson frowned and said: "We should promote humanitarianism. Besides, rescue can also ease the hatred between us and Noxus. After all, we will serve as an arbitration center in the future. If Noxus is missing, I'm afraid we won't be able to fully justify our name."
"That's right."
Heimerdinger nodded in agreement: "Since the war has been won, we should indeed carry forward the humanitarian spirit! Send people to rescue! There are no innocent people during the war, but there will be after the war!"
"I also think it's possible."
Myrdalda also agreed aloud: "With the grace of this rescue, coupled with the joint efforts of my mother and LeBlanc on the Noxus side, it will make it easier for Noxus to join us. Arbitration Institution."
"I agree!"
Jess Tallis, the lick dog, certainly won't be left behind.
When Myrdalda finished speaking, he immediately answered and said: "The dean's teaching is right! Hex technology is for the benefit of the people and to make the world a better place! It is not used exclusively for war!"
He looked at the fleet in the ocean, and said with a sad look of the Holy Mother: "Self-preservation is a last resort. Now that the war is over, we have to make up for the mistakes we made! We should save those Noxians !"
At this time, Shirko expressed a different opinion.
"I don't think it's worth it!"
He frowned and said: "Everyone has heard of Noxus' style! So who can guarantee that after saving them, those Noxus people will suddenly go back on their word?!"
"They are not qualified to continue to wage war, are they?"
Heimerdinger retorted: "After seeing the light cannon before, I don't think anyone has the courage to continue the war!"
"Camille?"
Silko looked at Camille who remained silent: "You won't be so naive, will you?"
Camille rolled her eyes and glanced at Shirko.
Then she said softly: "From a political point of view, we should send people to rescue, as Grayson said, once we form a deadly feud with Noxus, our future arbitration institution will lack important part of the
"As far as war is concerned..."
Camille looked at the Noxus fleet, pondered for a moment and said, "The kindness to the enemy is the cruelty to oneself. I don't think those Noxus people will surrender obediently."
"Then kill them all!" Renata interrupted in a cold voice.
"No!" Heimerdinger immediately objected: "They have already surrendered! If the killing of prisoners is known to the whole world, how can we become a neutral and impartial arbitration institution?!"
"alright."
Van der interrupted the debate, and he proposed solemnly: "Let's vote."
"I suggest rescue!" Heimerdinger was the first to raise his hand.
Immediately afterwards, Myrdalda, Grayson, Jess Tallis, and Caitlin also raised their hands.
Then, Victor raised his hand helplessly under Jess Tallis' eyes asking for help.
It's Zaun's turn.
Shirko and Renata were against it, and they were very firm.
But Vander turned out to be a traitor.
He raised his hand and explained: "I agree to the rescue, but we must be more vigilant to prevent the Noxus from changing their minds and counterattacking, of course..."
Fandre showed a confident smile again: "No matter how powerful the soldiers of Noxus are, their strength is only limited to the level of ordinary people. Don't forget, the physical fitness of our Shuangcheng people is enhanced by the low-light potion. It is many times that of ordinary people!"
Van der was smart for a while, and his words played a decisive role!
Vi and Marcus immediately raised their hands and voted yes...
