Chapter 543: The Chosen One
If there really is a protagonist aura, Gavin II is probably a person with the aura of the protagonist.
When Noxus's troops were unstoppable and the whole of Demacia fell into despair, Gavin II once again boosted the morale of everyone, took the last of the young men, put on armor, took up arms, left the city of Demacia, and took the initiative to attack.
However, unlike the reckless hard-hitting of Jiawen I, Jiawen II changed his strategy when the enemy was strong and I was weak.
The army of the King of Demacia is still on the way, and in order to buy time, the battle must continue, otherwise the Trifali army will be perfectly surrounded and reinforced.
But considering the balance of strength between the enemy and the enemy, this battle could not continue in a hard-fought situation - compared to the Trifali Legion, which was all veterans and elites who fought all year round, the Demacian soldiers at that time could be said to be a group of rookies.
You can't be beaten, you can only outwit it.
Under these circumstances, Gavin II took the initiative to station his soldiers at the Dawn Fortress not far from the city of Demacia, and put on a posture of defending the capital with a horn.
This state of affairs successfully deceived Theon - after the killing of Gavin I, Theon inevitably swelled somewhat, because the Rock Legion was blown up on the spot by Zanthia, and Seon could have waited for reinforcements from Noxus, on the one hand, to surround the point to deal with the Qinwang army that arrived from all over the country, and on the other hand, to besiege the city of Demacia and wait for reinforcements from the rear, before his long drive had opened a way for the follow-up troops.
But Thane craves more—after killing the king, Thane hopes to take the city of Demacia on his own!
Of course, Sain is not stupid, if Gavin II defended the city and relied on the tall and wide walls of Demacia City to fight a defensive battle, he would not have been able to lead the Trefalli army to attack, but Gavin II chose to divide his troops!
Although the Fortress of Dawn is an important fortress for the defense of the city of Demacia, compared to the fortified city of Demacia, the fortress of the dawn is not so difficult to bite.
In Sain's view, this kind of behavior of fighting each other is pure foolishness, and rashly dividing troops when the combat effectiveness is at a disadvantage, this is the way to die!
So, after finding out the location of Gavin II's troops, Sein intercepted him.
An encounter unfolded on the plains northeast of the city of Demacia.
The brave Demacian soldiers gathered under the royal banner of Gavin II and fought bloodily with the Trefalli army, but they had no choice but to retreat.
Instead of taking the lead like his father, Gavin II commanded and dispatched the army, struggling with the soldiers.
The Demacians were at a disadvantage, but never collapsed.
With this situation going downward, Sein once again launched a surprise attack on the King's Banner - and this time, Gavin II's choice was to retreat in an orderly manner.
Between the fortified city and the prince, Sein chose the prince - with his own Trifalian army, the siege was not enough, but the field battle was unstoppable.
What's more, if he can kill or capture the prince, the fortified city may also be self-defeating.
Thus, Sain followed in the footsteps of Gavin II.
Along the way, Gavin II did his best to organize resistance, always exposing his tracks to the eyes of the Noxian scouts, but never gave Sein a chance to deliver a fatal blow, and he used his identity as a bait to take Sein all the way north.
The chase lasted for three days, and although the royal banner of Gawain II was still standing, the young man of Demacia that he had brought out of the city was no longer alive.
Gavin II finally arrived at his destination, the Grand Canyon of San Doro.
This is the source of the Demacian civilization, because at the bottom of this canyon, the Demacians first discovered the Forbidden Magic Stone.
In the cold of winter, when Seon entered the canyon with the Trifalian army, he saw the last of the Demacian elites who had been waiting here for a long time.
When the Demacians saw Theon, they shouted loudly as they struck their shields with their swords and spears, and the earth began to tremble as the sound grew louder and louder.
The snow on both sides of the canyon began to slide, and a terrible avalanche was born.
Sein was not in a hurry, he ordered the mages who accompanied the army to cast a spell to solve the blood collapse, in Sein's opinion, this level of ambush is not a problem at all, for ordinary soldiers, the avalanche can be fatal, but for the elite army mages of the Trefari, the avalanche can be completely resisted.
The sorcered rock bunkers are more than capable of withstanding the impact of avalanches, and the last struggle of the Demacians is pointless!
It's a pity that he didn't realize that under his feet, under the thick snow, there were all natural forbidden magic stones.
Under the interference of the Forbidden Stone, the spells of the Noxian mages were weak and silent, the stone bunkers collapsed at the touch of a button, and the terrible avalanche was unstoppable—and when everything was calm, everyone was buried under the snow.
The Demacians, who had prepared their bunkers in advance, were the first to regain their senses, and they cheered up and began the mending operation.
And the unconscious Sein, also after this avalanche, became a prisoner of the Demacians.
If the captive Sain owes it to the wisdom and tenacity of Gavin II, then everything that follows can only be described with the aura of the protagonist.
At that time, although the Trifali Legion was wiped out, the follow-up Noxian soldiers were still coming; And although Demacia's side had just experienced a big victory, everyone rejoiced, and the army of King Qin also rushed to the vicinity of Demacia City one after another, but in the overall situation, they were still at a disadvantage.
After Thane was captured for his recklessness, the commander of Noxus became the chief of staff at the time, Calvis, a general known for his prudence and sophistication, who was best known for his dominance.
In this case, it seems completely impossible for Gavin II to defeat the strong with the weak.
In this way, Calvis chose Greentooth Peak, a place where there was absolutely no forbidden magic stone, and gathered the main army of Noxus and the most elite "Arcane Fist" mage group to start a decisive battle with Gavin II.
Originally, Calvis's tactical thinking was very correct, after the loss of the most elite Trifali legion, the Noxians' advantage in melee combat has been unlimited, in this case, the mage regiment is the best means to fight the Demacians - and compared to storming the city of Demacia built by the forbidden magic stone, the field battle with Gavin II is the best choice.
And everything is going according to Calves's idea - under his experienced command, the Noxians continue to oppress the Demacians, and the Demacians who are inferior in strength and lack of training have no choice but to fight and retreat, Demacia who defends their homeland is brave enough, and has a strong impact when fighting head-on, but because of the lack of training, the rhythm of the battle is caught by Noxus.
In this way, Gavin II and his main army were driven like rabbits to the bottom of the Greentooth Peak, and then blocked in the valley between the twin peaks.
Spring had arrived—and this time there was no avalanche to help the Demacians turn the tide, and under the terrible fire of the mage regiment, the Demacians fell to the absolute disadvantage.
You can't run away, you can't beat it.
And then...... Just when Calvis thought he was winning, Galio lived.
Originally, Galio was just a forbidden stone statue that served as a magic barrier, but the Noxians activated him and turned him into a rune puppet through an excessive injection of rune ability - the powerful magic and huge rune ability of the Noxians activated and filled Galio's body, and then the activated Galio was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, sweeping the entire Arcane Fist mage group.
According to official Noxus records, Calves, who has always been known for his smiling tiger, rarely cursed.
After this battle, the Fist of Ofa was wiped out, and Noxus' invasion of Demacia was a complete failure.
