Chapter 281: Three Black (Actually, It's Four)

Raven's answer to Yasuo's question was no.

If Raven hadn't lied, then the most likely thing was that, as Rhodes said, it was something that was going on inside Ionia.

But...... True or false, who can tell clearly?

After hearing the "answer" he was looking for, Yasuo's eyes suddenly became hollow.

Fortunately, Yasuo is not one to hesitate - he doesn't have much information right now, and in the case of one or the other, he chooses to believe Raven's words.

In fact, Raven didn't lie to him, in the Battle of Ionia, Raven and the Scarlet Elite participated in all tough battles, assassinations or something...... It wasn't Raven's turn.

Raven is a warrior, not an assassin!

Either way, Yasuo and Raven had already nodded in agreement

This means that Rod has basically taken care of his teammates.

Now, Rhodes can finally announce that the three-man blacks are together - well, counting Jana, it's actually the four-person blacks.

……………………

On the other side, Queleta's side is also proceeding according to Rod's plan.

On the same night that the three of them were gathered, Rhodes received a message from Qurieta and came to the Lord's Mansion again.

"I've already asked me about what you want me to inquire about - that's right, there will be a batch of official supplies from Fandor, and their guides have been sent to me to help protect them."

"Do you know what it is?"

"War horses—two thousand of Svein's most prized Fendo light horses."

According to the regulations received by Quareta, a consignment of horses was to be transported from Findor to the south in three days.

After Svein came to power, every summer, Noxus would transport horses from several warhorse producing areas to the north (Freeljord) and south (Shurima), and after months of training, these horses would come in handy in the war against the barbarians in autumn and winter, and in the possible Shurima War.

The Fendo light horse produced by Fendo is the best of these horses - this kind of war horse is specially bred for the desert environment, with wide hooves, good endurance and high temperature resistance.

Svein's desire to conquer Shurima is obvious - compared to Ionia, who fights Freljord, who has little oil, and Demacia, who can't gnaw, from the perspective of Noxus, Shurima is the best target.

Although Shurima, who owns a vast land, was once extremely glorious, it ...... Now it's a mess.

After the collapse of the former ancient Shurima Empire, although the current Shurima has ostensibly claimed to be "a country", who believes in this statement is an idiot.

The whole Shurima is not only diverse in people, but also has different civilizations and languages, and cannot be called a complete empire at all.

It can even be said that Shurima is full of internal contradictions.

The city-states were intrigued, the tribes clashed with each other, and over time a whole chain of contempt was formed.

The Karamanda looked down on any other Shurima and considered them "crude and primitive"; The nomadic nomads of the Great River (Trist's tribe) cling to tradition and play their own; The men close to the region of Acacia call themselves the remnants of Acacia and hate the other Shurimas; The Kumangla people, who are good at raising animals, although they have important camel resources, are extremely fickle and self-cherishing......

If it weren't for the pressure of Noxus, these guys would have been beaten into dog brains a long time ago!

It's just that the scorching heat has helped Shurima people, for the Noxians, the hot and dead Shurima is a difficult place to conquer, and the soldiers are easy to adapt to the soil after arriving here, and even the Noxian proud Black Cavalry cannot operate in Shurima - the Noxian Warmblood Horse of the Black Cavalry is hardy and can play an important role in fighting the barbarians of Freljord, but these horses will die soon after arriving in Shurima.

It was for this reason that Svein personally ordered that a new kind of war horse be bred in Fendor, which was the best at cultivating war horses, to adapt to the scorching heat of Shurima.

The horses that were to be transported to the south were the second batch of Fendo light horses, and according to the military's feedback, the generals in charge of the southern war were very satisfied with the horses.

Rhodes unfolded the map.

Lu Yin will only explain when this batch of materials will pass, and will not explain the final purpose and route as it is, but there are some things that do not need to be explained, and it is feasible to rely on reasoning.

The first is the beginning and the end – needless to say, the starting point is Fendor; And the end point is somewhere in Shurima.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Rod calculated slightly.

"If nothing else, these horses will be transported to Telishny," Rhodes made his judgment immediately, "It was the city-state of Shurima that first took refuge in Noxus, and now it has become a transit center for supplies. ”

"Same as I thought." Queleta nodded, "Now on the entire northern shore of Shurima, many city-states have the intention of surrendering, but only Telishhni can be used as a large-scale war horse training base. ”

Now that the starting point and the end point have been determined, the whole route is easy to say.

"First of all, this is a domestic transport, so there will be no deliberate detours." Rhodes stretched out his hand and pointed to the map, "But it is said that this kind of war horse is not good at mountain movements, so the transporter chose to bypass the Bekofen Mountains, so he passed by Besiliko." ”

"That's right." Queleta nodded again, "And considering they didn't choose the sea, I don't think this horse is actually very used to adrift at sea." ”

"That means...... They will choose a place as close to Telishhni as possible to cross the sea, and try to minimize the adverse effects of wandering on the horses. Rod's finger slowly swiped across the map, "Lolond - it's only four days to get to Telishny this season. ”

"And there are mountains near Locrond, and to get to Lolonde, they have to go through the Kulo Mountain Trail." Queleta added, "And the distance from Besilico to the Kuro trail is plain, and there are many supply towns, and the distance of this section is impossible to judge. ”

"That's enough." Rod waved his hand, "Take down this batch of war horses, the above news is enough, we will start at the Kuluo Mountain Trail." ”

"And then?" Queletta apparently didn't figure out Rod's master plan, "What's next?" ”

"If the raiders of the horses escaped from the sea, do you suppose Svein would send a fleet?"

"Yes." Queleta replied in the affirmative, "These horses are quite valuable, after all, they are related to Shurima's strategy. ”

"That's enough—"
