Chapter 628 reinforcements arrive
The attacks of the Vastaya caused considerable casualties to the Noxus. They then easily surrounded and annihilated the soldiers with terrain and fierce offensives. But the giant flame bear suddenly appeared and ignited the forest. As time went by, the Vastaya's advantage gradually weakened.
Although the weapons of the Noxus soldiers are diverse, the division of labor and cooperation between the troops is very exquisite. When facing the enemy's charge, there will be shield soldiers to cover the swords and block the sharp claws or bows and arrows, making the opponent's attack invalid and revealing flaws. The swords and soldiers take advantage of the situation to send the weapons into the enemy's body and complete a fatal blow.
In contrast, the Vastaya people did not have such exquisite cooperation. Except for some small groups with close contact, most of them fought for their own battles.
After the flames spread in the forest, some Vastaya archers were unable to stand on the branches and lost their advantage at high altitudes. They returned to the ground to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. The mature leather armor naturally could not stop the sharp weapons in the hands of the Noxus soldiers.
Master Yi, who Xia relied on, was unable to deal with the Noxus soldiers with all his heart because he wanted to drive away the giant flame bear.
So Vastaya gradually fell at a disadvantage under the number of people in Noxus.
"The Noxus never give in, we want to win!" Colee rolled to a burning tree, avoided a rain of arrows, and her roar came from the flames: "We want them to pay the price and to tear them into pieces."
"Roar! Roar!" The iron-cast Noxus soldiers responded to her anger with the blood of the enemy. The soldiers formed an invincible torrent of steel and ruthlessly strangled the flock of beasts.
The smell of blood and barbecue penetrated into the nostrils, making people feel disgusting and surging in the stomach.
“It’s so difficult.”
Xia avoided Ke Li's counterattack arrow, and after watching her target hiding in the cover cunningly, she could not suppress the anger in her heart and wanted to roar.
She looked around the battlefield and the Vastaya and the Noxus had already sacrificed hundreds of people in this encounter.
If we only look at the number of people who have lost, they are still slightly better. However, as time goes by, the Noxus soldiers become more and more braver, and this number will be tied.
The number of hundreds is definitely not bad for Vastaya, but it is only a drop in the bucket for Noxus.
She had already developed a desire to retreat. The Vastaya were originally a rare species and could never be consumed on the battlefield like the Noxus soldiers. They had more important things outside the battlefield, and their bloodline was extremely precious.
However, in the end, she chose to drag on it.
They can see Precidian here, and the people in Precidian can naturally see them. This unusual forest fire will attract the attention of the Ionians. As long as you drag it for a long time, you will definitely be able to wait for reinforcements!
"We retreated down the mountain, fighting while retreating. The Noxus were wearing heavy armor. They were definitely not as fast as us!"
Xia issued an order to let the Vastaya escape from the battlefield as soon as possible, gather the formation, and lead the enemy to the forest area where the flames have not yet spread to, and then counterattack.
The agile Vastayas flew through the forest, and Xia's decision gradually regained their advantages, and their native magic was maximized in the dense forest.
The natural spirit of this forest also began to take the initiative to help the Vastayas because the flames brought by the Noxus burned the forest, and it punished these invaders who destroyed nature with anger.
The Noxus soldiers were tripped by the suddenly raised tree roots one after another, and then the clusters of vines entangled them. These plants, like living creatures, tightly entangled the soldiers who were chasing each other, and rescued each other seriously dragged down their pursuit.
Even if they use sharp blades to split obstacles in the road, they will often stung to death as the poisonous insects, snakes and scorpions penetrate into the gaps in the armor.
Miasma began to spread in the woods. Even if Noxus took a torch to dispel it, he still couldn't help but suck in some, becoming drowsy and frivolous.
In short, under the various strange native magic of the Vastayas and the malice of the natural spirits, the Noxus soldiers pursued them extremely hard and were even debuffed.
Xia looked at the right time and asked her subordinate Vastaya to launch a counterattack while she was in danger.
But what she did not expect was that when a bundle of strong explosives was thrown into the Vastaya array, all the advantages she had accumulated were defeated by the upcoming explosion.
The leads were shortened rapidly, and as Mars was thrown into the arms of black gunpowder, the explosive pack exploded!
The explosion made Xia almost deaf, and a buzzing sound of termination sounded in her ears, but she still heard the screams of her compatriots.
A heat wave came from the center of the explosion, and in addition to the smell of blood, there was another strong smell of gunpowder.
The smoke quickly dissipated. Xia saw the tree trunks broken by a huge impact, and the rising flames attached to the section. The Vastalians who were directly bombed would not have ended much better than these trees. Their bodies were broken and charred, and their lives were taken away at the moment of the explosion.
More Vastayas were injured by broken pieces of wood splashed out during the explosion. They were still alive, enduring the severe pain of fractures and the burning of flames, and wailing for help.
Xia was just about to ask someone to rescue them, but more explosives were thrown around the wounded and could explode at any time.
She had seen the horror of black gunpowder, and this terrible creation that brought destruction was not something their native magic could compete with.
However, they are in large numbers in the hands of the Noxus, and the soldiers can use these things without any effort to easily kill several times their enemies.
The Vastayas were unable to fight the Noxus army with a large amount of black gunpowder. In order to avoid greater casualties, Xia could only give up these compatriots and continue to retreat down the mountain.
But shortly after she issued the order, things took a turn for the better.
She also didn't expect the reinforcements to come so quickly. When the rebels led by Geno and Arrelia came around in the east, Xia was so excited that she almost gave him a blowing kiss.
"Break through their front!"
Arrelia rushed to the front of the array, with the blade storming in the air following closely. She danced gracefully in the enemy formation, and the blade of the world turned into a ribbon wrapped around her arms. While Arrelia danced her arms, she drew a series of arcs of death. She simply cut through the enemy's body and cut off the enemy's courage bit by bit.
She led the rebels in the white hat and the white-robed warriors to kill each other in the enemy's formation. They were like a sharp knife, deeply inserted into the Noxus' chest, and each stirring could cut out a large bunch of blood.
"No living!"
