Chapter 489: Ursine Monster God Sacrifice
Huo Jixing stood on the stone balcony of the meeting hall, watching the figures of the war masons disappear in the Dalmo Plain.
It has been confirmed earlier that all [Noxtora] on the border of the Northland have become ineffective.
Originally, it was planned to let the war masons give priority to repairing [Noxtora], but considering the current situation, it is not clear.
Huo Jixing made a decision to directly abandon the use of the [Noxtola] he once relied on, and set out with the entire army to enter the Dalmo Plain in a mopping up manner.
As the war masons took the lead, the silent camp gradually came to life and the noise began to rise.
There was a tense and solemn atmosphere in the air, as if the camp was making final preparations for the upcoming battle.
Looking down from the sky, the heavily armed soldiers of the Noxus Empire walked out of the barracks like worker ants.
The soldiers who can come to Drunne are all the elites of the empire.
They wear strong and thick armor, hold sharp weapons, and have firm and cold eyes.
Under the command of the leaders of their respective battle groups, the steel torrent was activated, and one after another poured out of the black camp and rushed towards the Dalmo Plain in the distance.
Boom!
The biting cold wind on the Dalmo Plains roared past, picking up dust and grass blades, but it could not stop the sound of firm steps from echoing in the sky.
The midday sun penetrates the clouds and shines on the plain, reflecting the figures of the soldiers and the high-flying imperial flag.
“We’re ready to go.”
In the meeting hall, Wilson walked over, followed by Kled and the sleepy Skaar.
Huo Jixing nodded slightly and looked directly at the towering Drunje in his field of vision.
The architectural style of this city is unique, combining the traditional elements of the Drunne tribe with the solemnity of the Noxus Empire.
And its geographical location makes it a transportation hub of the empire, connecting the trade routes and military arteries in the north and south of the empire.
"Black Rose.!"
Huo Jixing whispered, thinking of the invitation from the orderly officer and the noble Drunne last night, a welcome banquet specially held for him.
Although he declined the invitation in the end, he also felt the urgency of the person in the dark.
"Are you so eager to know my movements? Then, I hope you can keep up with my pace."
Huo Jixing lightly pressed the spirit wind around his waist and walked away Chamber.
“Let’s go.”
Wilson and Kled followed closely, leaving the meeting hall silent.
At the door, Huo Jixing saw Gregory and Anne waiting, and took them with him to integrate into the empire's cavalry array.
The news of the camp’s departure could not be hidden from Drunje behind him.
When the Imperial Battle Group entered the Dalmo Plain, many nobles in the city dispatched carefully trained secret sentries.
These shadow-like entities blend into the darkness silently and move toward the depths of the Dalmo Plain.
According to the intelligence information confirmed by the Leiser Guard Corps, it was Drunje who first discovered the situation on the border of Northland.
After their caravan entered the Iron Thorn Mountains, it was as if they disappeared from the world, without any news.
Subsequently, Drunne tried many times to send secret sentries and guards to conduct in-depth investigations.
But they all disappeared one by one, leaving no trace.
As time goes by, Drunne gradually realizes.
This is probably not just as simple as the disappearance of the caravan, but something unusual must have happened at the border of Northland.
Faced with such an uncontrollable and extremely strange situation, Drunje felt deeply afraid and frightened.
They quickly reported the situation on the northern border to the Trifali Council, hoping that the empire would take corresponding actions.
But Drunne did not expect that the situation on the northern border would be so serious that it would directly lead to the empire entering a state of war.
Drunne, aristocratic area.
The majestic and gorgeous castle stands, and the gurgling moat is like a silver ribbon surrounding the towering city wall.
In the deepest part of the castle, dim candlelight swayed and danced frequently on the walls, reflecting the dark passage leading to the secret chamber.
This secret room is the few remaining strongholds of Black Rose members.
On both sides of the heavy black long table, beings hidden in the shadows were discussing the departure of the Imperial battle group.
"Confirm the news, the commander of the empire this time is Huo Jixing." A deep and powerful voice sounded.
"Should we send someone into the interior of the battle group?" someone suggested.
“No need!”
“The pale lady ordered us to stay away from Huo Jixing under any circumstances. He has special abilities that can reveal our abilities and identities.”
< br>The person who spoke first refused, his tone full of absolute obedience to the pale lady and deep fear of Huo Jixing.
“Prepare your next plan.”
"Okay."
"Do I need to contact the hunting lord of the Ursine tribe? To inform the empire of its actions?"
Hearing the news from the Ursine tribe and the hunting lord, he was silent The atmosphere permeated the chamber.
No one dared to speak easily. They seemed to be very afraid of the hunting lord and the existence behind him.
Only the swaying firelight made a slight sound, gently sweeping over everyone present.
At this moment, in the dim flames, the black rose slowly bloomed, and the strange petals shone with golden light.
"Inform them that I need to bind Huo Jixing firmly at the border of the North."
LeBlanc's voice came through the black rose, clear and firm.
"The Hunting Lord and the Old God Volibear are the best choices."
"Obey your will, great pale lady!"
In the secret room, many shadow entities left their seats, knelt down, and paid high respect to LeBlanc.
Wait until the dim candlelight goes out.
The conspiracy of Black Rose unfolds silently.
Deep in the Dalmo Plain.
A gloomy and thick atmosphere covers the sky, and the crimson dusk glow cannot penetrate the clouds, making the surrounding environment look gray.
Suddenly!
A deafening roar echoed across the plains.
In the desolate wilderness, crimson flags fluttered in the wind, and the battle groups of the Noxus Empire were moving forward.
Looking from a distance, it looks like a winding black dragon, all over the mountains and plains, boundless.
This is the first time Huo Jixing has served as the commander of an imperial battle group.
He stood on the high platform of the central army, his eyes filled with red-gold flames, looking ahead.
Although it was just a simple move forward, for Huo Jixing, it was like getting a new toy and he couldn't wait to explore it.
The battle group cluster is composed of many elite battle groups of the empire.
Each Chapter has its own unique culture, hierarchy and combat preferences.
Huo Jixing needs to carry out specific on-site division of labor for these war groups.
Some battle groups will be assigned as scouts, some will become frontline commandos, and some will become heavy infantry or heavy cavalry, etc.
As long as it matches their skills.
Huo Jixing, with the cooperation of Wilson, integrated the power of the battle group to prepare for this war in advance. "Huh? Are they those guys again?"
Huo Jixing frowned, looking at the light gray clouds that appeared in the red-gold field of vision, and an imperceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. .
It's a bear-man monster left on the plains.
These irrational werebear monsters are like cursed ghosts, wandering deep in the plains.
They are full of endless desire to kill the life that appears in front of them.
When the Imperial Battle Group set off, the frontline commandos encountered bear monsters many times.
They were not afraid and ignored the disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves. They roared and rushed forward,
Then, they were submerged in the surging steel torrent, becoming flesh and blood nutrients, nourishing the Dalmo Plain.
Boom!
In the distance, the running frontline commandos saw the hideous and ugly bear-man monsters. Under the command of the leader, they quickly formed an array.
Immediately afterwards, the heavily armored frontline commando cavalry, driving the tall and handsome horses also covered with armor, launched a majestic charge.
On the wide plains, heavy armored cavalry can make full use of their advantages.
Their charge was as fierce as a violent storm, trampling the plains and sending up billows of smoke.
In just one charge, the following bear-man monsters were turned into flesh under the trampling of iron hooves.
Subsequently, the frontline commandos spread out in the direction from which the bear monsters came, and conducted a blanket search.
They hope to find traces left by the person behind them to further understand the enemy's movements and intentions.
In the desolate wilderness, the soldiers of the frontline commando team formed a fan shape and quickly separated, showing the tactical literacy and teamwork ability of the empire's elite, not letting go of any suspicious clues.
Inside the camp tent.
The lights are brightly lit, like daylight.
The soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps were extremely busy processing the information coming from many battle groups.
They looked very serious and focused, and did not miss any details, which were related to the direction of the battle.
Huo Jixing stood in the center of the tent, his eyes lowered, looking at the war sand table in front of him.
Green flags have been planted in most areas of Dalmo Plain, and only a small remaining area still has red flags.
The green flag represents the safe area that has been searched and the bear monsters inside have been completely cleared.
The red flag represents an area that has not yet been searched and the danger cannot be determined yet.
Huo Jixing's eyes swept across the war sand table, and at the same time, he listened to the report of the soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps.
Hearing the rapid footsteps, Huo Jixing raised his eyes and looked at Wilson who walked in.
"How is the situation?"
He was asking about the bear monsters that had just appeared deep in the plains.
"There are no clues. It's similar to the previous situation. They just appeared naturally." Wilson shook his head.
Huo Jixing was silent for a while and continued to give instructions.
“Pass my order, and the frontline commandos and scouts will spread out and go deep into the Dalmo Plains and the Iron Thorn Mountains.”
"Okay."
After Huo Jixing finished his instructions, he looked at the sand table solemnly, his eyes falling on the Iron Thorn Mountains.
The situation at the Northland border is very bad
Before, I only learned through intelligence that the situation here might be serious.
But after actually entering the Dalmo Plain, I realized that the simplicity of words is far inferior to personal experience.
This land is shrouded in a gray environment, and the desolate and tragic scene is chilling.
As they approached the Iron Thorn Mountains, the war group began to encounter bear monsters frequently.
Although they were insignificant, Huo Jixing felt very uneasy.
These bear-man monsters are just the tip of the iceberg. The existence behind them is what Huo Jixing is afraid of.
In the dead of winter, the silent air is filled with a cold breath.
Huo Jixing was at his desk handling matters.
Suddenly, the tent opened, and Annie walked in holding Tibbers and Snow White Poro.
"Uncle Huo Jixing."
Anne came to Huo Jixing with light steps, a trace of obvious worry appearing on her lovely face.
Huo Jixing turned his head, held Annie on his lap, and said with a smile.
"Why, can't you sleep?"
Annie nodded, leaning on Huo Jixing's shoulder, her voice was low and trembling.
"Well, I miss my mother so much."
"I haven't seen her for a long time, and I'm so afraid of forgetting her appearance."
Huo Jixing listened. Annie's words made her feel sad.
He didn't expect that the yearning in Anne's heart was so strong and profound.
He reached out his hand, gently stroked Annie's hair, and said softly.
"Don't worry, Annie. Your mother will always be in your heart, and her appearance and smile will always be with you."
Anne raised her head and looked at Huo Jixing He asked softly with eyes like stars.
"Uncle Huo Jixing, do you think we can find traces of my mother this time?"
The Imperial Chapter Group is about to leave the Dalmo Plains and enter the Iron Thorn Mountains.
The village where Gregory and Anne once lived is in the Iron Thorn Mountains.
They spent countless peaceful and beautiful days there, leaving behind many memorable scenes.
The Diver Fort, which has been temporarily lost, is also located in the Iron Thorn Mountains.
This strong fortress was once the glory of the empire, but now there is no news, covered with layers of fog.
Huo Jixing hugged Annie, looked at the map hanging on the wall, and made a decision secretly.
The advancing speed of the imperial battle group is really too slow, and the movement of such an army cannot be hidden from the observation of people in the dark.
They are keeping a close eye on the huge group of imperial battle groups, formulating a conspiracy based on the movements.
The biting cold wind blows in the face, and the snow-covered mountain road extends to the ice and snow mountains in the distance.
Huo Jixing felt the familiar cold wind, stopped, looked around at the rolling snow-capped mountains, and understood that he had entered the Iron Thorn Mountains.
Behind him were Kled, Gregory, and Anne, as well as a hundred Noxian Scarlet Cavalry.
The Imperial battle groups are moving forward a bit slowly. Many battle groups still need to cooperate with each other. Coupled with the baggage troops, the speed is seriously affected.
Huo Jixing couldn't wait any longer, leaving behind one of his own actors and letting Wilson lead the imperial battle group forward to clean up the bear-man monsters they encountered.
He led Kled and a hundred Noxian Scarlet Cavalry, secretly infiltrated Chencang, left the main force, and set off first.
Huo Jixing looked at the surrounding environment, took out the map drawn by the Leiser Guard Corps, calibrated and confirmed the position.
On the map, there is an imperial village in the nearby mountains, which is usually a supply point for sentries and scouts.
Huo Jixing put away the map and exhaled in front of him to drive away the cold.
Immediately, he took Kled and others forward to find the location of the village.
