(The titles of the previous chapters are actually Chapter 350, but they were accidentally changed to Chapter 340, but this does not affect the reading of the content)
Then again.
Because they admire strength and violence is supreme.
So this led to the disappearance of the gods in the peaceful era, and Noxus began a war of aggression against Runeterra.
Because this country is so capable of fighting, and everyone from the common people to those in power are inexplicably fanatical about war.
Those above are willing to fight, and those below are willing to fight.
So in the early days of peace, a strange phenomenon occurred.
That is the terrifying achievement of the Noxus Empire, which has conquered nearly one-third of the land of Runeterra by fighting all over the place, shocking the world!
The ancient country of Demacia in the west and the nascent land of Ionia in the east were all attacked by Noxus, not to mention some unknown small city-states and small forces. Almost no grass grew in the place they passed, or they were attacked.
Either die or be recruited, he is so overbearing.
Such a country is now the country with the largest population in Rune Land, and it is not the kind where ordinary people make up a large proportion, but every common person in the country is extremely capable of fighting, so such a terrifying empire is getting stronger and stronger.
Looking at today's peaceful era, the disappearance of the gods has directly caused Noxus to become the strongest empire in Runeterra, no one!
To put it simply, as long as the power of demigods and gods is not involved, Noxus is almost invincible.
At present, there are really not many places in Runeterra that can compete with Noxus.
The three major tribes of Freljord in the northwest are one of them.
But the power of these three major tribes is scattered, and each is still fighting internal wars. Those mysterious demigods don't care about anything, so they can only resist. The good thing is that the Noxus Empire is not interested in this ice field either.
It was so cold and so poor that they didn't even bother to look at this place.
Ionia, the land of birth in the east, is also one of them. They were once the most invaded countries. After all, the mysterious and distant land of birth is so rich. It is the origin of all things. There are so many beautiful things here.
So the cruel empire came here and invaded everything.
The horror of that war was much more terrifying than the current Battle of Two Cities. It was a brutal war of aggression that shocked the world. Millions of people died in that war, not to mention the wounded and veterans with war sequelae. The war
The trauma left has even affected tens of millions of people!
The good thing is that the Ionians completed the war of resistance against aggression while resisting vigorously.
And there are many hidden sects such as the Kinkou Sect, and ancient races such as the tree people, vastaya people, stone people... They all contributed to the newborn land, fought off the invading empire, and finally carried out a change.
Today, Ionia already has a powerful army, and its strength is slowly recovering. With the heritage of the New Land, they are the biggest hidden danger to Noxus. Maybe one day the two countries will fight again.
This is all foreseeable.
The last one is Demacia.
This is also the reason why Lin Luo suddenly thought of this.
I still remember that he thought a long time ago that it would be great if he could go to Noxus, because it would be more suitable for him from a development perspective. He is also a very ambitious person and wants to become a leader among the player community.
To get to the top, you have to go to Noxus.
But in the end, due to camp reasons, he was forced to go to Demacia.
It is worth mentioning that before he went there, the poor and decadent ancient country of Demacia had long been in ruins, and it was incomparable to Noxus, which was strong on the outside and hard on the inside.
Fortunately, Lin Luo worked hard to complete the final big event.
Nowadays, Demacia has a new king, and he has awakened the strongest Iron Legion in the continent!
As long as this legion exists, it is equivalent to possessing nuclear weapons in reality. With the capital to talk to all countries on an equal footing, they are no longer afraid of Noxus.
"The people of Piltover have no chance of winning. Such resistance must be delaying time!!"
Lin Luo finally figured it out.
If nothing unexpected happens.
The Noxian legions are already heading here and should be arriving soon!
During this period, Lin Luo kept looking at the eastern sky!
As he expected, after he thought about it, less than an hour later, he suddenly saw a very inconspicuous black dot appearing in the distant sky.
That is to say, Lin Luo has super long sight, and he deliberately stared over there to discover this detail!
His expression finally changed.
Because at this time, Demacia's reinforcements did not arrive.
Although the distance between Demacia and Piltover is not that far, it is not that convenient to dispatch a large army. It requires preparations before the war, and the process takes a lot of time!
Lin Luo discovered that this pitch black dot was gradually enlarging, and the speed was shockingly fast.
Only ten minutes passed.
Lin Luo discovered that the small black dot had turned into a dense black cloud, rolling towards Piltover!
It turned out that those were not dark clouds at all, but giant black Hex airships!
The dark and domineering Hex airship bears the symbol of the brutal Noxian warlord, and has been transformed into a war machine, extremely ferocious. It is obviously the result of Piltover trading or "supplying" Noxus over the years.
items.
There are cold armies arrayed in these airships. Although there are not many troops on each airship, there are more than a dozen airships here, totaling more than 10,000 people, all of whom are the top of the elite.
Elite!
Sharp-eyed players instantly noticed something was wrong!
They felt that the setting sun above their heads was blocked, and large swaths of shadows fell on the ground, as if the end was coming!
Now not only the players, but also the soldiers of Piltover and Zaun looked at it in shock!
Seeing the terrifying Noxian warlord symbol, everyone on both sides gasped!
Even Victor and Jace looked up.
They stopped in unison and their expressions suddenly changed!!
In the last battle, Zaun's army originally had the advantage, but it was directly defeated by the Noxian warlords, and was eventually killed one after another.
This time they are here again!
And Victor was clearly capable of defeating Piltover before Noxus came, but it was because Jace dispatched the Future Soldiers that the war continued to be delayed!
"Jace! You are really crazy! You are committing a crime, do you know that?"
Victor roared angrily.
He suddenly looked back, only to see that at the front of the terrifying army that was like a black cloud looming over the city, standing on the edge of the airship, was a majestic, imposing, iron-blooded figure that looked down upon everything.
There is a trembling aura of iron-blooded conquest.
"It's him……"
Victor's tone had changed and became a little creepy.
This is the existence that symbolizes the pinnacle of Noxus' military power. The iron-blooded warlord general is known as one of the strongest humans in Noxus and even in Runeterra today!
Hand of Noxus - Darius!
He was wearing a pair of dark and dazzling battle armor, with a flying blood-red cloak floating behind his back. There was a scar from the vicissitudes of life on his bronze cold face. He was holding a pitch-black double-edged giant ax in one hand, with blood-red Qi in his hand.
He was floating around.
Those cold and stern eyes were staring at everything happening in Pi City.
But there was no wave in his expression at all.
Perhaps he has experienced too many wars personally,
Darius is a legendary figure, even a legendary figure among legendary heroes.
The Ionian War that shocked the world was what Darius had personally experienced. He was invincible in all his battles, including Jarvan III of Demacia and various sects and sects in Ionia.
He also fought against primitive tribes.
He is a person who has personally experienced an era and is of the same generation as Jiawen III.
It's just that his power is too strong. Some people say that he signed a deal with the devil and exchanged his conscience for immortal life and terrifying power. Others say that he has a blood-thirsty battle ax that loves human blood and can kill people.
Others can absorb the life span of others, thereby preventing them from aging.
But there are no people who really know Darius.
He is already quite old, but he has no wife and no heirs, which gives people a mysterious, powerful but lonely feeling.
And as everyone knows.
If a person has many rumors, then he must be very famous.
Darius is such a legend with rumors, and all he has is a bad reputation and a bad reputation.
But he never responded to anything externally.
In his eyes, there is only everything that is conquered, or everything that is about to be conquered!
If anything, he also has a charming personality.
Then his personality charm is endless conquest!
…
"How is it possible...he came in person this time..."
If Victor remembered correctly, in the last war, Noxus only ushered in a terrifying noble, but the power of that noble alone defeated them.
This time it's even scarier!
We unexpectedly welcomed the Demon King of Rune Land!!
He left his immortal fortress and came to a 'little place' like Piltover!
Little did he know that Jace was also completely shocked at this time. He certainly did not expect this.
He knew Noxian reinforcements would come.
But his original intention was to wait for the latter to come, stop this war, and resolve these matters through negotiation. He could even admit defeat and let those cruel congressmen kill him, but he must protect Hexfield no matter what.
Door.
But this time something went wrong, Noxus actually came to see a demon king this time!
Darius is a legend of the older generation. In his eyes, geniuses like Jace and Victor are nothing at all. At most, they are just juniors with some talent and smart brains.
The fact that he came here in person already foreshadows the horror of the matter!
Jace swung the hammer suddenly, and Victor was forcibly lifted away. The two of them kept a safe distance.
"Victor! Listen to me, things are beyond my expectation!!"
Jace stared at the terrifying dark clouds above his head with great solemnity!
"I didn't know it would be him. I swore that I only wanted to keep the Hex Flying Gate. Not only would I not spare those councilors, I would even punish them with my own hands. Are you still unwilling to listen to my explanation? ?”
Until now, Victor has not heard his explanation at all.
But now the situation is different, and an even more terrifying force is coming. This force is currently the most terrifying warlord in Rune Land. Not to mention the Twin Cities, even those ancient countries dare not underestimate it.
Victor finally calmed down and gritted his teeth and said:
"You'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"
Jace took a deep breath and told everything he knew about Hex's flying door.
It is true that this is the technology that was taken away from them, and this technology was used to make money and suppress the Zaun people.
But it also has another side, that is, it does reduce the cost of technology. After all, Hex-driven technology is magic technology, driven by the magic power in the world, and will not emit sewage or poisonous gas.
And calm down and think about it, the Hex Flying Gate itself is just a tool.
What is truly abominable is the group of councilors and capitalists who use this tool to suppress and exploit the Zaun people.
"Victor! It is difficult to make the Hex Flying Gate. If we destroy it, it will definitely waste more than ten years of hard work. Do we have to start over again? The Flying Gate is innocent. I even made it a long time ago. Good decision, as long as you promise not to destroy Feimen, I can give up the resistance! Why not give up on Pi City!!"
Jess has made the biggest concession.
His words finally had an effect at this time, at least Victor could listen.
But Victor still sneered:
"Do you think this will end? I will find out those high-ranking council members, and no one among them will be spared. I will grab them with my own hands and execute them in front of all the people of Zaun! Do you agree?"
Jace's face turned pale, but he gritted his teeth and said:
"I won't stop you, and neither will my future warriors!"
Victor continued:
"All those who participated in launching industrial acid rain, including World War I, World War II and this war, all names will not be spared, and everyone must pay with their lives. Do you agree?"
Jess gritted his teeth and said:
“Of course you can!!”
Victor's eyes swayed, and he finally said word by word:
"I want you people in Piltover to unconditionally open the three major lifting devices and allow the Zaun people to board Piltover. Can you agree?"
This time, Jess finally hesitated.
But he took a deep breath, nodded and said:
"Can……"
Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, a sharp and harsh voice screamed:
"--you are dreaming!!!"
This sound made Jess and Victor look at each other!
Especially Jace, when he saw the man in the distance, he showed a shocked expression:
"Ghosn? What are you doing here?"
This person is one of the Piltover MPs who persuaded Jess before. He persuaded Jess with his sharp tongue. At that time, his true feelings were expressed beyond words, but now he has become Another look.
And Jess clearly felt it.
He had been listening secretly, and he could still hold back when Victor mentioned the first two conditions.
But when Victor talked about the last unconditional opening of the lifting device, he couldn't help it.
It can be seen from Ghosn's expression.
The veins on his forehead throbbed and his eyes turned red:
"You bastards who are worse than pigs and dogs have such delusions! We can agree to anything, but we won't allow you bastards like you to enter Pi City! Why should we live with you rats?"
He showed a crazed expression and shouted as if he was crazy:
"Go to hell, Zaun rat! Don't even think about unlocking the lift!"
His words made Jess and Victor look ugly. It was rare for them to look at Ghosn at the same time, their eyes looking dangerously outrageous.
Victor gritted his teeth and said:
"You'd better not stop me, I'm going to electrocute him into mincemeat."
Jess's face turned dark:
"I won't stop you, but before you shock him, I have something to ask him."
Victor gave a rare nod and stepped aside.
Jess closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then he looked at Ghosn and said in a cold tone:
"Ghosn, that's not what you said last time when you came to see me."
Ghosn sneered and gritted his teeth:
"Otherwise? Before the Noxian warlords come, who else can they look for but you? Do you think those Hex stones were given to you for free? Your role is to hold on until the Noxian reinforcements arrive. Only
That’s all!”
Jace's expression gradually darkened, and his tone gradually became colder:
"So you are saying that everything before was a lie to me?"
Victor could feel Jace's hand holding the Mercury Hammer trembling, and he even had the feeling that Jace would turn the hammer on him and beat him to pieces in the next moment.
"etc!"
Victor suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he held down Jace's arm:
"Listen to him first!"
This was really strange. Instead, Victor started to calm down Jace. What happened in this battle was simply dramatic.
Jess stared at Ghosn coldly, waiting for his answer.
Ghosn's eyes changed, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"That's not true! The content of the words is correct. The original intention of creating the Hex Flying Gate was indeed to reduce pollution. However, at that time, I added something extra to the words... that is, the establishment of Hex in Pi City
Feimen was never meant to change the environment of Zaun, but only for Pi City itself. The sewage that should be discharged here will still be released to Zuan. Since it has reached this point, there is no need for me to hide it from you.
Already."
Jace stared at him coldly:
"So you are still lying to me? You said your ancestors were the earliest people from the lower city, just to increase your persuasiveness?"
Ghosn suddenly widened his eyes and showed a funny laugh!
"Hahahaha... Jace! I didn't lie to you, Jace! My ancestor was indeed from Downtown, but do you know how he became a Piltover?"
Jace stared at him silently.
At this time, Ghosn's expression suddenly turned cold and cunning, like a vicious devil.
"Because there are too many people like you, Jace. You believe in justice, remain kind in your heart, and are unwilling to speculate on others with malice... It's just that you have enough ability to protect yourself, but ordinary people don't, so those like me
In this way, people who are more cunning, more eloquent, more malicious, and more greedy... can use these good intentions to achieve their own malicious intentions, and thus gradually gain power."
The corner of Ghosn's mouth showed an infectious smile that could no longer be described as vicious or cunning. It was simply chilling to the heart.
"You have power and a bottom line, and you don't bother to speculate on others with malice, so you are a guardian. I am just different. Sir Jace, I don't have much power. I am just a little bad and understand human nature better. No.
Can you become a high-ranking member of parliament?"
His smile was very sarcastic:
"So sometimes, you have to learn to be bad. Honest and kind-hearted people can easily be stepped on... But I think you don't despise this, otherwise you wouldn't be the guardian of our Pi City, right?"
When Jace heard this, he could no longer calm down.
He let out an eye-catching laugh, a laugh that was extremely angry!
"Hahahaha...I should have thought of it earlier!! How can there be any good people among you politicians? The upper echelons of Piltover have long been colluding, and you guys have been assimilated. But you are indeed eloquent, but you know,
Why did I promise you before?"
Jace's laughter suddenly stopped and turned into a furious expression:
"Because, I have power!!"
He roared horribly:
"I'm going to hammer you to death today!!!"
Jess was like a furious tiger, directly knocking Victor away!
He turned into a golden thunderbolt and hit Ghosn's head!
This hammer!
Jace's anger has been building up that he can't dissipate!
He will be destroyed into ashes!
But Ghosn was not completely desperate. Even though his power was only equivalent to three generations of Hex warriors, he did not hide. The inability to hide was one of the reasons, and another reason was...
--boom!!!!
The terrifying golden electric power suddenly stopped less than two meters away from Ghosn.
A rough iron hand grabbed the hammer with his bare hands. This palm was nearly twice as long as that of an ordinary person. It was extremely thick and aged, but it was filled with a terrifying sense of power.
"Boy."
The owner of that palm looked at Jace with an indifferent expression:
"If you want to kill him, do you have my permission?"
Darius just grabbed Mercury's hammer head with one hand and pulled it back bit by bit.
He looked at Jace very calmly and said this.
…
Jace miscalculated again.
To be precise, now he finally understands why Ghosn did all this.
He finally understood.
Ghosn is not only bad, he is also cunning.
From beginning to end, he had no intention of convincing himself.
Except for the Hex Stone he finally gave as a sign of sincerity, all he wanted was to delay himself, and he had long realized that his true colors would be exposed, but he was not afraid of this at all, because this time they called the strongest
reinforcements!
As long as the great demon king of Rune Land comes over, nothing will be a problem.
Jess looked at Ghosn angrily and found that the other person was looking at him with an expectant and teasing expression.
"come?"
Ghosn pointed to his head and said:
"Come here quickly and beat me to death. The poor congressman with no power is waiting to die here. If you don't do anything, then I have to leave?"
He shook his head and sighed, and left here swaggeringly:
"The damn congressman is going to do bad things again. How about another more violent industrial acid rain? Tsk tsk, I'm so bad. It's a pity that a bad person like me can live a more prosperous life... tsk tsk tsk."
Jace glared at him, but there was really nothing he could do.
Because he clearly but feebly felt that his strength was still far behind Darius.
"Strength is indeed very important."
The man with a cold and solemn voice said in a deep voice:
"But if resourcefulness is used properly, it can also counteract force."
Jace stared wide-eyed and shouted:
"That is obviously vicious and treacherous!!"
Darius said calmly:
"There is no difference. In my opinion, being able to use resourcefulness to achieve a goal is a skill in itself. The so-called resourcefulness and cunning are nothing more than whether you think he is good or bad."
He suddenly lifted the hammer away violently, and the huge force caused Jace to fly backwards and hit the ground in a panic.
"This boring farce should be over."
Darius glanced at the battlefield with a dull expression, giving the impression that he was visiting every house.
"I agreed to the conditions of the Chairman of the Parliament of Piltover, and I can settle in and become a foreign member of Piltover. I hope this farce will end immediately, and then a parliamentary ceremony will be held for me as soon as possible. I don't have time to stay here for too long.
.”
Hearing the news, not only Jace, but also Victor was stunned and stunned!
Both were once prominent figures in Piltover.
They knew exactly what it meant to be called a Gentile Senator.
Today, Piltover has a total of eight parliamentary seats. If one more foreign member is added, it means there will be a ninth.
The MP status has a lofty status in Piltover, almost the core of power, and possesses huge wealth.
Now, in order to win this victory, Piltover is actually willing to add a new member of parliament, which means that these vicious vampires have to give up one-ninth of their interests, which is the interest of the entire Piltover!
"So that's it... Ghosn, you really spent a lot of money!!"
Jess gritted his teeth and looked at Ghosn.
The latter laughed and said:
"That's better than losing Piltover to these ditch rats!"
Jace growled:
"You are wishful thinking! There is no way I can agree!!"
"I say, this farce should be over."
Darius didn't bother to get involved in the conversation between the two of them. He looked at Jace like a lion:
"Boy, I don't want to say the same thing a third time."
His tone became slightly heavier, and he raised his eyebrows and said:
"If you don't want it to end."
There was a trace of disdain on the corner of Darius's mouth. He slowly raised his right hand and suddenly waved forward:
"I will help you end this in advance."
Just such a waving gesture brought an almost terrifying disaster to Piltover.
Hex military-modified airships rushed into the city-state one after another, smashing all the buildings in the way to pieces, and burly figures jumped down one after another, all exuding the murderous aura of iron-blooded warfare.
"It's exactly what I thought..."
Lin Luo looked solemnly at the Noxian troops.
Through the information feedback from the Hunter's Eye, this is the most secret and powerful legion under Darius, the Reiser Guard Corps!
This legion is also at the top legendary level, on the same level as the previous Dauntless Vanguard of Demacia, and even stronger!
Lin Luo's premonition before the battle was correct.
He felt at that time that this battle would not be easy.
Although the situation was good at the time, he had a premonition that it would be very difficult. Although he could win in the end, he would not be directly crushed in the process.
It seems the reason is here!
Piltover invited the Noxian army, and not only ordinary Noxian reinforcements, but Darius himself took action!
Many players were even stunned on the spot, pointing at the latter excitedly and saying:
"Oh! What did I see?"
"It's me! It's the legendary hero with the colorful name, Darius himself!!"
"Wow! Is he really that tall?"
"So brave!!"
In fact, Darius has a very pure Noxian bloodline. Although he is not of noble origin, he has been strong and brave since he was a child. His height is over 2.3 meters tall, and he wears huge armor that is fully 2 meters tall.
About five.
His size was much larger than that of the slender and delicate Piltover people, and he looked like a giant.
In fact, Darius is not a special case, because this is the blood of Noxus. Noxians are born with strong bodies, have very strong war genes in their bones, and are very warlike.
At a glance, Lin Luo saw that in the Reiser garrison led by Darius, none of the soldiers seemed to be shorter than two meters tall.
At first glance, there is a strong visual impact of the explosion.
These soldiers stood there densely, directly giving people a terrible psychological pressure, an iron-blooded murderous aura, deeply sunken and indifferent eye sockets, ferocious armor with half silver in the dark, and a terrifying legionary aura reaching into the sky.
Suddenly!
These highly disciplined and ruthless soldiers took the first step!
Under the power of the huge legion aura, the entire city-state of Piltover almost trembled!!
That’s right!
It was this city, the city in the sky that stood precariously on the cliff, that moved!
Everyone felt this movement!
Many players, including plot characters, including Jace and Victor!
Lin Luo felt his scalp numb, and a terrifying thought appeared!
Could it be that the power of just one Leiser garrison has reached the point of shaking the entire Pi City?
How terrifying is the power of the Noxian Empire warlords?
And when Lin Luo took a closer look, he saw that this was not the complete Reiser garrison, but only more than 10,000 of the most elite elites.
So, can Piltover be shaken by just part of Reiser's defense?
this moment.
Everyone's expressions changed.
Lin Luo felt that things had undergone tremendous changes, and he must not let things continue like this!
He ran towards Jace and Victor and quickly came to their side!
"Lin? Why are you here?"
Jace and Victor said in unison.
"How do you learn to speak from me?"
The two looked at each other and said something in unison.
Lin Luo smiled bitterly and quickly brought up the business:
"Did you feel anything strange just now?"
The two looked at each other again and nodded solemnly.
Lin Luo said in a deep voice:
"The power of Noxus is too terrifying. It has threatened this city. We must fight quickly. There is no need to fight among you. Now our common enemy is the Reiser Guard Corps!!"
Lin Luo's identity is very crucial, and he can even be said to be the core initiator of this war.
From a game perspective, this war is a major event mission.
Lin Luo was the one who initiated the mission, and he ran through the entire mission line.
Therefore, he, Jace, and Victor all have extremely high degrees of favorability and trust.
Perhaps Jess and Victor had already thought about joining forces, but were unable to do so for various reasons, or lacked the opportunity.
Then Lin Luo must add fuel to the flames at this time!
