The War Begins

The actual battlefield far exceeded Chen Yi's imagination.

Facing the Noxian army, these kings did not surrender meekly.

The current number of people on the battlefield had reached over 100,000, with Noxus having over 20,000 men and the enemy close to 80,000.

This was the number of people obtained through forced conscription by the Three Regimes.

Dense soldiers stood on the tall city walls, and more soldiers were on standby behind the gates, gripping their weapons tightly, sweat already beading on their foreheads.

Although Noxus had fewer men, it was the enemy who was afraid.

Darius had no intention of continuing the conversation and directly ordered the attack!

"Kill!"

[Ding! War has begun, War Merit viewing function enabled]

[Current War Merit: 0]

The vanguard troops raised their heavy shields, each step leaving deep footprints on the ground.

Behind each Shield Guard stood lightly armored soldiers, some holding spears, others swords, with ferocious grins on their faces. Long, hundred-meter Wall-Scaling Ladders were hidden within the crowd.

The Archers were not among the troops; the towering city walls limited their effectiveness.

The Mage corps awaited Darius's command.

Chen Yi's hands trembled slightly, not from fear, but from an instinctive reaction to encountering such a battlefield for the first time.

Once the number of people exceeded ten thousand, it looked boundless, and here there were over 100,000!

"It seems this is your first time on the battlefield."

Darius still had the mood to converse with Chen Yi.

Such a war was merely a small ripple in his life experience.

If he didn't need to fulfill his duty as a general, he would already be at the forefront, leading the charge.

Chen Yi nodded: "I believe it won't be the last time."

As the two conversed, the distance between the two armies rapidly closed.

On an extraordinary battlefield, 2000 meters was no longer a safe distance.

Arrows rained down towards the front-row Shield Guards.

"Shields up!"

"Ha!"

Arrows struck the shield with a crisp sound, the force making the Shield Guard's hands stiff, but that was all.

What could threaten Shield Guards was never the archers, but the Magic Turrets on the enemy's city wall.

And they had already entered the turrets' attack range. Purple Energy Bombs exploded in the crowd.

Centered on the Energy Bomb, Noxus soldiers within a 100-meter diameter were severely impacted and died one after another.

The first casualties on the battlefield appeared!

Chen Yi estimated the damage from this blast to be over several thousand. Even with his shield up, he couldn't withstand one shot.

After firing, the three Magic Turrets on the city wall entered another charging phase.

"Advance!"

Steel Torrent pushed towards the enemy.

When the distance reached 1000 meters, the lightly armored soldiers prepared to charge.

Darius had expected the enemy to continue defending the city, but surprisingly, they opened the city gates at this moment. Soldiers without end poured out from the city.

"Kill!"

The clash of cold weapons began.

Darius continuously issued commands based on the battle situation.

The battlefield quickly turned into a meat grinder, blood dyeing the ground red.

Every attack from the Magic Turrets caused the deaths of hundreds of Noxus soldiers.

And the number of enemies killed by Noxus soldiers was not small either.

Relying on the geographical advantage brought by the Magic Turrets and the city wall, a temporary stalemate appeared between the two sides.

Darius looked at the Mage squad: "It's your turn now, Mages. I need a change in the situation."

All Mages, including Chen Yi, obeyed the order.

"Come out, Fire Dragon."

"Roar!"

Chen Yi rode on the Fire Dragon and flew away under everyone's gaze.

"Fire Dragon, keep climbing higher."

Magic Turrets cannot shoot directly overhead, but arrows can.

To make the enemy's arrows lose their force, the Fire Dragon carried Chen Yi and hovered thousands of meters in the sky.

"Then let's begin."

This Time, Chen Yi did not use his self-created spells, but instead played with explosions like a typical Fire Mage.

A giant fireball appeared in the high sky and descended at extreme speed.

The Soldiers on the City Wall quickly discovered the fireball.

"Air raid!"

The fireball exploded on the City Wall, its explosive power greatly enhanced by the heavy impact.

[Player Yi dealt 247 damage to xx (Impact Damage 177, Burn Damage 70)]

[Player Yi dealt 325 damage to xx (Impact Damage 145, Burn Damage 180)]

Chen Yi's Damage Panel was flooded with messages.

However, the second fireball was intercepted by a hissing Strange Bird, and the fireball exploded in mid-air.

The Three Kingdoms Alliance counterattacked against Chen Yi.

These birds were not large, less than half a meter.

But their wings and long beaks took up most of their bodies.

Some Strange Birds fell to the ground carrying flames, but more Strange Birds charged towards the Fire Dragon.

Chen Yi hurriedly scanned the Strange Birds' attributes.

[Wasp Bird]

LV: 14

Constitution: 16

Strength: 14

Intelligence: 8

Agility: 32

Spirit: 9

Wasp Call: The wasp emits a piercing cry towards the spirit, dealing Spirit x1.2 damage. This damage can stack, and the damage decreases with distance.

Chen Yi estimated.

With his resistance, a single Wasp Bird would deal at most 6 damage to him.

But if surrounded by hundreds, he and the Fire Dragon wouldn't last 4 seconds!

If there were even more...

"Fire Dragon!"

No need for further words, the Fire Dragon unleashed a Fire Blast downwards, quickly creating distance.

Fireballs continuously formed in front of Chen Yi. Under the control of his mental power, the fireballs accurately exploded within the wasp swarm.

The Wasp Birds' constitution wasn't high, and the area-of-effect damage from the fireballs often dealt considerable damage to multiple wasps at once.

But this couldn't stop their mournful cries before death!

[Wasp Bird dealt 6 Spirit damage to Player Yi]

[Wasp Bird dealt 9 Spirit damage to Fire Dragon]

Dozens of such damage records flashed out simultaneously.

Blood trickled from the corners of the Fire Dragon's and Chen Yi's eyes and nostrils.

Chen Yi ignored the blood and gently patted the Fire Dragon, "Fire Dragon, shake them off as much as possible."

While the Fire Dragon's speed was crushing compared to the wasps, its flight speed couldn't exceed the speed of sound.

It could only create as much distance as possible.

Chen Yi, meanwhile, continued to attack.

For a time, flames continuously rained down from the sky towards the ground, a truly spectacular sight.

The Blood Mage Carol appeared in the city at some unknown time. Because his skin was very fair, Chen Yi had often suspected this guy's race was Vampire.

Carol was satisfied with Chen Yi's performance, not only attracting attention but also drawing fire.

"But why play with fire?... Only blood is the true essence!"

After speaking, it turned into a pool of blood and exploded.

The soldiers passed by without noticing, unaware that the blood was crawling onto them, silently entering their bodies.

Before long, bloodshot eyes appeared in these soldiers, and the bloodshot veins continued to spread.

"Nawen, what are you doing?! The enemy is over there!"

"Botele, are you crazy!"

The soldiers who stepped on the blood raised their butcher knives at their comrades. Unprepared, they fell directly from the city wall.

In the fierce battle, no one noticed that some soldiers had 'rebelled'.

"Hehehe~ We are all little blood drops, little blood drops~ Little blood drops~"

When Carrol reappeared, his complexion was much rosier, as if he had undergone a great replenishment.

Behind him stood several enemy soldiers with vacant eyes.

"What do you think of my singing?"

"It's absolutely master-level, right?"

Carrol pretended to listen to these soldiers speak, and answered himself.

Then he shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity that singing is just a small hobby of mine."

Lightning Mage Yuchizona could cast spells from extremely long distances through the thunderclouds.

The other two mages cooperated with him, and a miniature sand table of the city wall appeared in front of Yuchizona, even the dark clouds floating in the sky were replicated.

Lightning accurately flashed on the city wall.

Each strike dealt at least a thousand damage, but after each attack, the dark clouds needed a period of cooldown, making it a small magic turret.

The other mages, who did not seem to have a clear mastery of direction, were trying to break through underground.

No mage who stands obediently in front of Darius is a good person!

And this is why Swain wanted to cultivate mages.

Not every mage has a 'big tree' to rely on like Chen Yi. Most mages truly exert their power after level 20.

By this time, they have accumulated a large amount of knowledge, and their mana is no longer used stingily.

Perhaps their individual combat strength is not a match for many soldiers, but on the battlefield, they can play a role far exceeding that of soldiers.

Noxus's front line has been pushing forward since the mages entered the battle.

However, Darius was not satisfied with this speed.
