Chapter 894 [0891] Kalya Returns
Lux's idea opened Ashe's eyes.
However, compared with giving fake goods to Lissandra, the more important task of the coalition is to gain a foothold in Fokarodna and transform it into an offensive position and a distribution center for supplies.
The two can be carried out simultaneously, but considering the consumption of tens of thousands of people and horses, it is more important to stabilize the logistics first.
Moreover, before really starting to cause trouble for Lissandra, the coalition needs to figure out the way to spread the news-this means that the Avarosa tribe needs to cooperate, and it also means that the Northern Expedition Army needs to draw some intelligence team members from the back to cooperate with the work.
The premise of drawing intelligence team personnel is that the rear material transportation line is stable and the material purchase channel is reliable.
War has always been a matter of one hair moving the whole body, especially this large-scale expedition. On the one hand, Lux has to command in person on the front line and take action when encountering a strong enemy; on the other hand, she also has to consider the material food before the battle and lead the team to summarize after the battle.
Each of these tasks is very energy-consuming. If Lux had not climbed Mount Targon before, she would not have been able to sustain it.
Now, as the battlefield has been moved to Freljord, the enemies have become more dangerous and difficult, and the supply lines are outrageously long, and the pressure on Lux is increasing.
At yesterday's bonfire party, she almost fell asleep on the spot - since the Battle of Black Forest, Lux's average rest time per day has been less than three hours.
If the rest time is further compressed, even Lux may not be clear-headed.
Considering the ability that Lissandra showed before, which can act in dreams, Lux must ensure that her will will not be weakened by fatigue.
Although Lux realized that this was a situation completely different from any previous war in Demacia before the expedition began, she could only feel the huge pressure after experiencing it.
The expeditionary force is undoubtedly the best of the best.
The archers accompanying the army are the best and most suitable for the army.
Even the commanders were Lux's favorites and carefully selected.
However, in such an expedition, everyone realized that they still had a lot to learn - even though they had just experienced two glorious victories.
Compared with the Demacians, the Avarosa warriors were much more optimistic.
Or, to describe it in a less polite way, it should be said that "the Freljordians are always fools with luck."
For them, fighting does not require any reason. All they need to think about is charging and winning, that's all.
This undoubtedly represents the low level of tactics. Ashe and the knowledgeable people in the Avarosa tribe are already worried - especially compared with the Demacia Northern Expedition - but the Avarosa warriors are completely unaware of the problem.
What's wrong?
Aren't we the first to rush up the wall?
And for the Freljordians, isn't it the greatest honor to be the first to climb the wall?
So, what's wrong with us?
Well, this is also one of the reasons why Ashe feels uncomfortable.
Although she is a unique Freljordian, willing to learn from others and hope to unify Freljord through peaceful means, and has achieved some results, to be honest, sometimes Ashe can't help but wonder if the Avarosa tribe will soon return to its previous state if she dies.
She seems to have changed the Avarosa people a lot.
But whether these changes can be completely preserved is an unknown.
This gave Ashe a huge sense of crisis, which was especially strong when facing the Northern Expedition.
However, since the coalition had to face a lot of problems, the above thoughts only appeared in Ashe's mind occasionally-fortunately and unfortunately, most of the time, she didn't have time to think about these.
……………………
When the coalition gradually gained a foothold in Fokarodna, and a lot of intelligence team members were drawn, and they formed teams with members of the intelligence team stationed in Lakstak, and started to cause trouble for Lissandra with the help of Avarosa guides, a good news made Lux excited a lot.
The news was that Kalya was back.
What does Kalya's return mean?
For Lux, it means that he has one more knowledgeable senior consultant, one more strategist, and one more top-level combat force.
Of course, more importantly, he has one more hardworking old ox.
Although it is a bit impolite to say this, when Kalya arrived in Fokarodna, Lux looked at his teacher with a very obvious, almost undisguised sense of relief.
"I always feel that you are thinking of something impolite, little Lux." Kalya was keenly aware of Lux's emotions. She didn't know if this was Lux's illusion. She always felt that Kalya's insight into people's hearts was getting sharper. "Tell me, what are you thinking about? Let me make it clear first, I am a person who is about to retire."
"The more capable, the more work." Lux tried to fool him with his seniority, "I need your guidance."
"No, I don't think you need it." What Lux never expected was that Kalya seemed to have guessed her thoughts completely, and a bright smile appeared on her mask. "When the fake is true, the real becomes fake. You have learned very well, and it is time for more experience."
"Ah?"
Lux was a little confused-when she was talking to Ashe, Kalya was there?
No, this is impossible!
Although Teacher Kalya can always come up with some surprises in some aspects, Lux is sure that when she and Ashe talked alone before, there was definitely no sand eye or something like that monitoring.
How could he know this?
"Isn't it strange? Why do I know your conversation with Ashe?" Kalya was obviously very satisfied with Lux's current expression. "You must even be trying to recall whether there was sand or gravel on the ground at that time-Ino should have told you about my spell, right?"
Lux didn't speak.
Every time she thought she knew Kalya well enough, Kalya would always give her a little surprise.
How to describe this surprise...
If Lux was still a little girl, she would definitely be amazed at the magic of magic-but now, she can only be amazed at the bad taste of teacher Kalya.
Yes, bad taste.
Considering the other party's age, Lux even has a sense of déjà vu of "old child".
"So, what kind of way did you find?" Lux tried to calm herself down and make herself look not surprised at all, "You shouldn't go to eavesdrop on Ashe's tent, right?"
"Don't think your dear teacher is so boring." Kalya shook her head with a smile, "You hide your curiosity and surprise very well, but it can't be hidden from me-well, I won't keep you in suspense, this is a secret revealed by dreams."
Dream?
Kalya's words made Lux completely serious. She looked at Kalya and couldn't help shaking her head after a while.
"Very good, my dear teacher, you really gave me a big surprise."
"Dreams are much more fragile than I expected." Seeing that Lux realized the key, Kalja finally put away his smile and became serious, "We should thank Lissandra. She used the ability she thought was unsolvable recklessly, but ended up showing us a very important trump card."
"If she knew this, she would regret it very much." Lux nodded, "Just like regretting arranging a fake substitute here."
"So, aren't you curious?"
"If you didn't say through dreams, I would still be curious." Lux's eyes curved, "But when you said the word dream, everything was exposed without a doubt- I'm not senile yet, and I can remember my experience in the Shadowlands now. "
"That's great." Karya noticed the invisible irony in his student's words, and looked quite happy. "Then it's much easier for me to explain... Although the power of demons is a bit troublesome to use, at least I can isolate Lissandra from spying."
"Are there any conditions?" Lux said seriously, "Many people will leave Fokarodna and act elsewhere."
"It's not a big problem. Just plant a simple nightmare mark on those people." Karya seemed to be looking forward to something. "Once Lissandra tries to spy on their dreams, the power of Mordekaise will drag her into the sinking sea of dreams, and that taste is not comfortable."
"Nightmare Mark, that doesn't sound like a good word. "Lux smacked her lips a little, "I'm afraid there will be side effects, right?"
"Maybe not completely a side effect." Kalya didn't completely deny Lux's statement, "People marked by Morteng will be weak in nerves, and once they fall asleep, they will only have nightmares... Even if he restrains his power, it will probably cause exhaustion and lack of energy during the day."
"It doesn't sound like a good thing."
"But on the bright side, this can at least completely isolate the enemy from spying." Kalya spread his hands, "And, just like in Shurima, this is also a kind of experience."
"To endure the torture of demons, this kind of experience is a bit too difficult."
"But that is a necessary price." Kalya always looks ruthless in this regard, "Actually If I could have done it, I would have given you a nightmare mark in Shurima..."
"Don't joke about that, Teacher Kalya." Lux finally shook her head, "Let's talk about you, has Senior Brother Renekton gone back?"
"Yes, although he was reluctant, he still went back to work." Kalya nodded first, then emphasized a little stubbornly, "Also, what I just said was not a joke."
"What about the elemental dragon ritual you mentioned?" Lux ignored the second half of Kalya's sentence, "We are going to have a strong air force?"
"Unfortunately, in most cases, you still need to rely on those good-for-nothings in the mouths of the Avarosans." Kalya's expression became interesting again, "Iva's promotion was very successful, and she even found Shyvana's biological father."
"Biological... father?" Lux was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Kalya was not talking about the adoptive father, but another elemental dragon, "So what is the result?"
"Beat the scumbag." Kalya's tone of gloating was completely undisguised, "That dragon is pretty powerful. It originally thought it could take Iva into its harem, but the result was completely the opposite."
Lux was stunned.
"Elemental dragons are half elemental and half beast. Don't look like that." Seeing that her student looked like he had never seen the world, Kalya couldn't help but frowned, "Whoever is stronger will have more spouses. This is an iron rule among elemental dragons. Iva itself is not as good as the other, but who made it just promoted to an ancient dragon?"
"But she doesn't seem to have changed much?"
"No, she has changed a lot. You think she hasn't changed because this one is not Iva."
"Ah?"
Lux blinked, and then began to carefully observe Kalya's new mount-then, she finally found that this dragon did not seem to be Iva.
Its figure is a little more slender. Although it is also the ice and snow paint of the frost dragon, if you think about it carefully, it should be a little different from Iva.
"So, its dream is to become the next Iva?"
"Almost." Kalya nodded, "But if I have to say, its taste is a little wider. Iva only likes elemental dragons, and elemental dragons are not on her list of hobbies."
"What about this one?" Lux's expression became subtle, "Wouldn't it?"
"In fact, it is willing to come to Freljord with me before it has fully adapted to the form of a frost dragon. The important point is that it wants to try Enuk."
At this moment, Lux was finally petrified.
Although the existence of species such as earth dragon lizards, dragon dogs and even Demacia dragon birds has clearly proved what kind of stuff elemental dragons are, and Lux also knows that she should not use human concepts to substitute elemental dragons, but elemental dragons and Enuk.
This is still too shocking.
"So, you just tricked it out of Ixtal?"
"Its hometown is actually Shurima." Kalya corrected, "And this is not a trick, it's a mutual agreement - in fact, the local lord was even relieved when I took it away."
"Why?"
Lux asked subconsciously, but she regretted it as soon as she said it.
Because Kalya's answer was: "Before Enyuk, its favorite was Skarash."
The image of the elemental dragon completely collapsed in Lux's mind.
At this moment, she even felt that her understanding of the elemental dragon was a bit sorry for her friend Shyvana.
No, wait a minute!
Considering that Shyvana's spouse is Jarvan IV.
It seems that there is no essential difference between her and the person in front of her...!
Lux covered her face with tears and laughter.
Kalya, who saw this scene, smiled happily - he could clearly feel that the heavy pressure on Lux had gradually dissipated.
Kalya's Small Classroom: Chaotic Dragonborn:
In Runeland, elemental dragons are a minority that still retain the ability to change their forms. This ability is generally manifested in two aspects:
The first aspect is the change of the elemental attributes of the elemental dragon. After a specific elemental ritual, the elemental dragon can change its elemental attributes.
On the other hand, the descendants of the elemental dragons are diverse.
The dragon birds of Demacia, the earth dragon lizards and dragon dogs of Noxus, and the sea dragons of Bilgewater are all related to the special habits of some elemental dragons.
