The Grand Arcanist Who Can Travel Through American Comics

The news of the fall of Black Mountain Fortress spread back to Noxus, causing the Fortress to be shaken like a stormy sea.

For many years, the Noxus Empire army has never been wiped out in an organized manner.

Everyone was unprepared for this kind of news.

This was a huge blow to the confidence of the imperial nobles.

People must face up to the situation the empire is facing now.

If we say that before, the news that the empire was invincible greatly stimulated the ambitions of the upper echelons of the empire and gave everyone an almost blind confidence in the empire's army, so much so that they approved one update after another of the imperial military without thinking. The exaggerated foreign expansion strategy put the empire's limited resources into one foreign conquest after another without thinking.

So now, these people must think carefully.

The thing is very simple. Standing inside the empire and looking around, you can see that there are already enemies everywhere. After many years of foreign wars, the empire has created a large number of enemies for itself, but it does not have any allies. This is definitely a worrying situation. situation, and on the other hand, years of belligerence have also been a huge drag on the empire's internal finances. To this day, the empire's internal affairs have been unable to make ends meet for many years.

Before that, if there was a problem that was not solved, it was very simple to send an army. The army could solve all problems.

This is the blind military confidence at home and abroad that has been cultivated by the empire's continuous victories over the years. This confidence supports the empire's expansion strategy for many years and this almost deformed imperial system that invests all resources in the military.

Not that no one has questioned this lack of long-term development strategy, but these doubts have been overshadowed by the empire's external victories one after another.

Every victory can allow everyone inside and outside the empire to gain huge gains from this external plunder, and can also make up for the financial deficit in a short period of time. This is like a shot in the arm, allowing everyone inside and outside the empire to respond to This deformed economic model has become more dependent. Over time, the empire's industry and economy have become completely unbalanced, tilting entirely towards the military. The imperial system has lost the ability to self-adjust, and most of it can only be maintained by constant external plunder.

This is not good news for a vast and populous empire.

Previously, the defeat of the war against the Kingdom of Demacia led by the Empire's commander Darius personally had affected the stability of the Empire to a certain extent.

Therefore, the entire empire shared the same hatred and unanimously decided to launch a larger-scale foreign war and launch a larger-scale conquest against Zaun.

This is the need of the empire's foreign strategy and the need for the stability of the empire.

It's very simple. The internal composition of the empire is not only the traditional military nobles and noble mages, but also more merchants, representatives of commercial cities on the conquered coast, and representatives of countless conquered races and tribes. Although they are now members of the empire and they have established this great empire together with the imperial nobles, they will not always stand with the empire.

Many people here were once against the Empire and had a deep blood feud with each other. They were only able to surrender under the pressure of the Empire's invincible military power.

If the authority of the empire continues to be challenged, or even shows even a slight sign of decline, these factors will become unstable factors within the empire. A huge empire may even be destroyed by an ant nest just because of a careless move. , on the surface, this great empire, which seems to be full of flowers and burning flames, is not as powerful as it appears on the surface.

Therefore, this time, the annihilation of the entire garrison of the Black Mountain Fortress has a truly far-reaching impact. It affects not only the soldiers of the empire, but also the confidence of many big figures within the empire in the empire.

This is what is truly fatal.

Moreover, even from a purely strategic perspective, the loss of the Black Mountain Fortress affects not only the empire's strategy south of the Black Mountain Fortress, but also the stability of the entire Far Rose Kingdom, including Zaun.

There are still nearly 100,000 imperial troops in Zaun who are fighting against the Zaun resistance and the Piltover garrison.

If the fall of Black Mountain Fortress affects the entire empire's strategy in the southern continent and affects the empire's war in Zaun, the consequences will be disastrous.

There was chaos in the Capitol in the Empire State Building:

"How to do"

"Everyone, isn't the most important thing we should do now to mobilize more reinforcements as soon as possible, go south as soon as possible, and seize the Black Mountain Fortress?"

An old congressman with gray hair stood up and said.

"The enemy must be severely punished. Only in this way can the negative impact caused by it be stabilized. This will seriously affect the empire's invincible image on the mainland and affect the internal stability of the empire."

The elderly congressman was thoughtful and thoughtful, and spoke righteously. At first glance, they are the real elders of the empire, who are really worried about the situation of the empire. However, more parliamentarians, especially the chiefs of the conquered races and the merchants of the coastal cities, have their eyes twinkling, each with their own thoughts. .

The veteran congressman's seemingly reasonable suggestions were immediately questioned.

"It's not that simple to capture the Black Mountain Fortress."

A congressman who looked like a general stood up and spoke,

"This is the mainland's premier fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The most important reason why we were able to capture it back then was that the enemy lost its backup. That was because the enemy was in civil strife. We cooperated with the mainland Thieves Association and first caused a stir among the enemy. The chaos disrupted the enemy's capital, Tesemer, so much that the Northern Army split, and then took advantage of the chaos to capture the fortress. It was definitely an arduous war, and the Imperial Military paid a huge price for it. And now , the fortress has returned to the enemy's hands again, and it will not be so easy for us to get it back again."

After the general congressman finished speaking, the audience all agreed.

"It's easier said than done."

"How can it be so simple to mobilize the army again? Where does the military expenditure come from? Shouldn't it be better for Marshal Turatan's army to withdraw and go north to break through the Montenegro Mountains first? Anyway, there is no way to conquer Zaun in a short time. hope."

"That's right, that's right. We should have stopped spending more gold coins in that quagmire of Zaun."

The people who said this were representatives of the coastal commercial cities on the east coast of the mainland. These people were the least willing to have the empire open the southern continental channel. That meant that commercial cities such as Belisico and Fendo were about to lose their place in the empire. status.

"That commander named Thain is a waste. How could such a fortress fall into the hands of the enemy so easily."

Some congressmen said so.

Poor Thain has become the target of verbal criticism here.

"Oh no no no"

Fortunately, there was someone right next to him to correct him.

"Maybe you're complaining about the wrong person."

"In my opinion, the bigger reason why the fortress fell was that Master Savile of the Imperial Mage Group. It was Master Savile's mage group that was completely annihilated first, which ultimately led to the lack of someone to preside over the defensive array of the fortress. In the end, That is what led to the fall of the fortress. If you have actually been on the battlefield, you will know that a fortress with a magic circle defense is impossible to fall under any circumstances."

There was a lot of discussion within the empire about this, and many of the upper echelons of the empire were horrified and inexplicable.

The coalition of Zaun and the Black Mountain dwarf tribe represented by Arthur became famous in this battle and became a rising star on the mainland.
