Swain had indeed seen a similar situation before him.

That was in Presidian - at that time, under the command and order of Yasuo, all the volunteers were mobilized to persuade all the residents of Navoli to join in the implementation of the fortification and clearing of the country.

As a result, this strategy stretched the supply lines of the Noxian army, which indirectly contributed to Swain's choice for the decisive battle.

Then, with the support of the Shangzan Volunteer Army, the firm blockade in Preixidian completed an astonishing extreme counterattack.

Now, faced with a solid blockade and a clear field, Swain had a sense of déjà vu. Unsurprisingly,

But... I am no longer the Swain who was held back by the black rose!

This time, the people following me are my team!

Yes, a large part of the reason why Swain's army went so smoothly this time was because the soldiers who participated in the Battle of Ionia were captured, ransomed, and then disorganized by the Black Rose and distributed to various regions.

Although these veterans are indeed unstable factors, many of them even have war stress syndrome and may lose control at any time, and even violently injure others.

However, for Noxus, these people are a huge asset that cannot be abandoned.

In the end, Darkwill decided not to pursue the Battle of Ionia - the soldiers were scattered to various places, and soon became the backbone of the grassroots.

And these officials, who seemed to be the size of sesame seeds and mung beans, turned out to be a powerful force after Swain raised his troops.

Behind many surrenders without a fight were the efforts of these people. Compared to Darkwill, who was only holding him back, the soldiers clearly recognized Jericho Swain more.

As mentioned before, this war is essentially a civil war in Noxus, and it is a civil war without external intervention. In this case, whichever side can get more recognition from compatriots will have better logistics.

Supplies, better troop replenishment.

At this point, Swain completely destroyed the Black Rose, even though the Darkwill the opponent held was the emperor of Noxus.

Moreover, now the emperor is gone...

"You like strong walls and clear fields, right?" Looking at the towering walls of the Immortal Fortress, Swain didn't have the slightest worry, "You don't seem to understand what the premise of this strategy is!"

……………………

Strictly speaking, Vladimir is not a good strategist - he is not even a politician.

Although he lived a long time, to be honest, Vladimir was more interested in painting than conducting.

Vladimir, who has matured in his old age, can guess people's hearts and formulate plots, but when it comes to strategic command, this is really not his strong point.

What's more, this command is just a chance to get on the shelves - according to Vladimir's plan, after transforming into Bernaman, he will become famous in the Immortal Fortress, and then gradually enter the inner circle and kick out Darkwill.

Influence the politics of Noxus in a new capacity...

The plan can be said to be very good, but in the middle of the process, Darkwill couldn't hold it back, and directly sent the elite Guards to attack in vain.

A wave of bleeding.

After receiving the news, Vladimir was shocked - that was 50,000 Guardsmen. Even if there were 50,000 pigs, they wouldn't be killed in one day, right?

Well, actually not all of them were killed, a large part of the Guards escaped, and some had no choice but to surrender - even so, it was still a terrible battle of annihilation.

Darkwill, who misjudged the relationship between the enemy and ourselves, lost all his chips in just one battle and was executed.

After losing their leader, the remaining warriors finally could no longer

Seeing that Sviyin's situation was in jeopardy, Vladimir had no choice but to have a secret discussion with LeBlanc, who came back in a hurry.

In the end, the two decided to let Vladimir use his identity as Bernerman to organize the defense of the Immortal Fortress. Anyway, the walls of this city are extremely high and layered on top of each other. As long as the walls are strong and the fields are clear, no supplies are left for Swain.

, when LeBlanc gets better, there will be a chance for the two of them to join forces!

Vladimir, who was cramming to learn command, naturally started from Swain's failure experience. After reading in detail the dossier about the Battle of Presidence brought back by the war masons, he wittily fired Yasuo.

The plan was to use a strong wall to clear the field and a firm blockade, exhausting Swain's energy and forcing him to cease the war!

This is really a good tactic - it doesn't require superb command skills, but the effect is outstanding.

What Yasuo can do, I, Vladimir, can’t do?

In this way, under Vladimir's organization, the entire area around the Immortal Fortress was cleared of residents and supplies were collected, leaving only a blank space for Swain.

However, what Vladimir did not realize was that when Yasuo was able to order the entire Navoli wall to be cleared and all the farmers to take refuge in Presidian, it was because the Noxians were invaders - and they would still do it.

Invaders who use poison gas and have no bottom line!

Everyone in Ionia is on Yasuo's side, and they don't mind losing their own interests in order to drive away the invaders.

Even if you have to leave your hometown, even if you have to take your family with you.

Before the Battle of Presidenium, all Ionians who left home deserve respect!

In Preidion, the base of an unfinished monument depicts a family of five leaving their homeland.

The situation now is completely different from that of the past - the Ionians chose to believe in Yasuo, but the Noxians, or the residents around the Immortal Fortress, obviously did not believe in Vladimir enough.

In the end, the clearing of the country, which Vladimir had high hopes for, only lasted three days - after three days, Swain's army did not even use up their rations, and subsequent supplies were delivered in time.

Just like the Ionians will support the Volunteers, the Noxians will support Swain, who has a better reputation and is more reliable!

……………………

As smoke rose from Swain's camp, Vladimir's original plan finally declared bankruptcy - and in a sense, it was the Immortal Fortress that really needed to face the solid walls and clear fields.

Even though Vladimir has prepared supplies to defend the city, this is water without a source and a tree without roots. If the battle really drags on, the Immortal Fortress will not be able to withstand it!

What's even more troublesome is that because he took the initiative to take over everything, even if Vladimir wants to run away directly, it may be too late.

However, under such a huge advantage, Swain still showed amazing patience - if you are not willing to give up the geographical advantage to fight in the city, then don't blame me and you for spending it!

Strong walls and clear fields?
Chapter completed!
