It happened so suddenly that many people didn't understand what was going on, and I didn't have time to explain to them. I just told them that Mona was saved!

I believe that with Tam's abilities, he will definitely be able to save Mona, but it's hard to say what her condition will be.

It turns out that this box is somehow connected to Tam; opening it allows him to appear in time to save people.

This guy seems surprisingly reliable! I owe him another favor.

When everyone heard that Mona had been saved, they breathed a sigh of relief and stopped rushing to attack the city.

By this time, Darius had already led his army to join our vanguard. At his command, the army launched an organized attack!

This time, the berserkers and barbarians could fight to their hearts' content, and they were still at the forefront.

Riven and I no longer need to provide support from the rear, because the Noxus mage forces have already erected a magical barrier.

This was my first time fighting directly against the Noxus army. Their battles were very organized, forming a systematic combat system from offense to defense to cover.

No wonder they are invincible; with such elite soldiers and perfect tactics, it is difficult for anyone to confront them head-on.

Of course, the greatest skill is being able to unite these people!

The Avarosa tribe seemed to know they were no match for the Noxus army, and from the beginning they kept to themselves and refused to fight.

Although we knew Uncle Wolf had many backup plans, we never expected that he would also have a magical army hidden away!

The Freljord mages reinforced the city walls with Ice and Snow Magic, slowly forming a curved protective shell around them.

This protective shell utilizes the principle of an eggshell; although it is not thick, it is very sturdy and difficult to break through by brute force alone.

Darius wisely chose to attack in the spring, but Avarosa also has large tracts of fertile land, and with the large amount of supplies Bernie had previously plundered, they were not afraid of a protracted war.

The first day of fighting lasted only a short time. We were unable to break through the Avarosa tribe's defenses and could only wait for Kled to arrive to see if there were any other options.

Kled arrived quickly, and as usual, he left his main force far behind, arriving alone.

He summoned a gale and tried several times, finally arriving at a conclusion:

Unless the city and its inhabitants are completely destroyed, it is impossible to break through the barrier alone.

Darius, of course, would not agree to such a course of action; if the city were completely destroyed, then the war would lose its meaning.

When I heard him reject Kled's suggestion, I realized just how terrifying Kled's gale was!

It seems he hadn't used his full strength in previous battles, otherwise not only the enemy but even his own people wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

Kled once told me about Gale and Uniform Strength. He said that Gale Wind Force are similar, both being the control of Natural Power, except that Gale is more violent and suitable for large-scale offense and defense.

The Wind Force is relatively gentle and can be freely combined with various moves to achieve unexpected results.

However, the Uniform Strength and the Wind Riding Technique are different; they are Natural Power. The gale he summoned with Uniform Strength was much stronger than the Wind Force I condensed with the Wind Riding Technique.

To this day, I still cannot combine my own power with the gale force. My gale force can only be used to disperse and protect, and cannot achieve both offense and defense. Strictly speaking, it is more like an extension of the Wind Riding Technique.

It seems there's still a long way to go in mastering the art of Wind Force, but I'm not discouraged; on the contrary, I'm full of confidence!

Since Kled also couldn't break through the defenses, we're really in a dilemma.

Soon after, Rappor also sent word that he had already led his troops to ambush in the north and was ready to launch a coordinated attack at any time.

However, the key issue remains unchanged: if you can't break through the defenses, having more people won't help.

The mage's magic power is not limitless. We once thought that as long as we persisted in attacking every day, especially if the few of us used our Gale Force together, we would eventually be able to break through.

However, for half a month, their defensive shield remained completely unmoved, indicating that Uncle Wolf's methods were extremely clever.

How could we demolish the city wall? At that moment, I suddenly remembered someone— Gnar!

When it comes to demolishing homes and causing destruction, he's the one!

Kled came alone this time and didn't see Gnar, so I found him and asked him what happened:

"General Kled, I've remembered someone who can help us."

"Who?"

"Gnar! Why didn't I see him come with you?"

"Ugh, don't even mention it. He's throwing a tantrum. Darius strictly forbade the army from causing destruction, so I've been restricting him, which made him unhappy, and he's been... Hmm? You mean you wanted him to come and damage the walls?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean. It makes him happy, it helps us, and we don't have to worry about any sabotage."

"Really, how could I not have thought of that? I should go find him!"

Kled rushed to the rear guard and soon brought Gnar back. The little guy was still half asleep, his eyelids barely open.

Wake up! I've found you a great job!

"You wouldn't let me take down the tent, and now you won't let me sleep. Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me? I'm going back to my hometown, I'm not playing with you anymore!"

Gnar got up to leave, but Kled stopped him. "This has been really fun! See that city over there? You can demolish it as much as you want!"

"Real?!"

I was still half asleep a moment ago, but as soon as I heard there was a place to demolish, I immediately woke up. The Yordle's interests are truly legendary.

The barbarians naturally recognized him, especially Tryndamere, who had fought with Gnar before, so they were quite confident in his strength.

However, the berserkers had never seen him before. They saw that Gnar was a tiny little guy, not even half their height, and many of them looked at him with disdain.

"Can he really do Yasuo?" Jeram asked me.

"I don't know either, but we can give it a try! If you underestimate him because of his size, you'd be making a big mistake, just like this guy!"

I pointed to Kled beside me. They had witnessed Kled's prowess during the attacks these past few days.

Tryndamere chimed in, "Don't worry, bro. I sparred with him before, and luckily he wasn't taking it seriously, or I would have been utterly defeated!"

Everyone has witnessed the King of the Barbarians's heroic battle prowess; since he says so himself, what is there to worry about?

Kled didn't care about the Berserker's suspicions. He watched Gnar's retreating figure and grinned, a rare occurrence for him. "After sleeping for so many days, it's time to show some real skill!"

Has he been sleeping all these days?

"Pretty much. Ever since he was frozen in ice for so many years, he's become a bit lethargic, but that makes things much easier."

Gnar was already small, and with his furry body, the Avarosa garrison didn't recognize him at first, probably mistaking him for some lost little animal.

They only rushed in nervously when they realized that these were the beasts that had fought Tryndamere, and immediately launched an attack.
