In the Noxian calendar, in June 929 AD, the Emerald Territory Negotiation Team, who longed for peace, exposed the evil deeds of the Southern Empire Alliance headed by Archduke Timothy to betray their fellow human beings. After Lord Demon Face suffered several assassinations one after another,
, the unbearable Jade Leader finally launched a counterattack.
In September of the same year, the Emerald Legion divided into three groups and marched against Nokland, Winterfell Castle and Callisto Castle respectively.
In the attack on Nokland, Lord Demon Face personally led a small number of elite legions to defeat the demon legions of the underworld and achieved a great victory.
When the Emerald Territory showed Nokland's original appearance after the war and some of the cruel images of the Nether Demons to other major forces in the form of crystal image balls, this battle completely shocked the entire Runeterra.
The terrifying undead army, the dilapidated streets paved with skeletons, the seven-headed demon dog, the soul-devouring enchanting green mist, and the black tide of the undead that covers the sky.
The most frightening one among them is Archduke Timothy who was transformed into a seven-headed devil dog by the devil of the underworld using evil magic!
Weird things that cannot be described in pale language were spliced together. The silent magic image of just thirty-three seconds concisely and powerfully led all onlookers to understand the darkest corner of the world. At this time, many people in Runeterra understood
, the darkness in this corner is actually ten thousand times more terrifying than the Soul Haunting Night that attacked Bilgewater...
【In view of the general environment,
I am horrified that there has always been a group of demons living in the underworld secretly coveting the rich land in the material realm. I also hate that there are so many human traitors who choose to betray their fellow humans and cooperate with demons for strength and power.
For a time, the emerald leader Qingqi Zhanduan changed his reputation and seemed to become a savior-like existence.
At the same time, Knockland, which was completely reduced to a ruined city, not only did not become deserted and depressed, but instead welcomed many bold adventurers to explore the traces left by the underworld army.
There are also many poets and writers who have written countless fascinating epic works with the theme of Nokland. Nokland has also become a ghost city with a dark artistic atmosphere, and a famous city was built under the ruins.
Underground cities, of course, are a story for another day.
In the five years after Nokland was defeated, the Emerald Territory's army, under the guidance of Lord Demon Face, swept away all the warlords and bandit forces in the southern continent of Valoran, all the way to the magnificent barrier of the southeastern continent border [Ironwater City]
],
Except for Jerry Ford, the other four of the five major warlords were executed. Jerry Ford was willing to give up all his territory and wealth and proved as a tainted witness that Timothy had indeed colluded with the Netherworld Demon.
Jerry Ford, whose sentence was commuted, was spared from death. The famous sea lord took his wife and daughter to live in a manor under the supervision of the Emerald Territory, and became a wealthy man living in seclusion in the countryside.
Everyone under the Emerald Leader's command has surrendered. Only Piltover and Zaun south of the grand barrier seem to have signed some kind of city-state agreement with the Emerald Leader, allowing them to retain the independence of [City of Progress].
Time continued to advance, in 935 AD in the Noxian calendar, the southern border of the Noxus Empire was unified by the Emerald Territory.
The troubles of warlords have been eradicated, and the southern border of the mainland is in ruins and is now at peace.
Under this situation, the Supreme Command of the Immortal Fortress did not issue any order for the Emerald Territory to retreat and cede territory in accordance with the rules of rule.
Because of this, many eyes in Rune Terra moved north again and stayed at the Immortal Fortress. As soon as the war stopped, troops were once again in the empire, and many legions were hiding day and night, moving towards the border.
As of now, the Noxus Empire seems to be on the verge of a civil war. Lord Demonface controls the south of the Immortal Fortress, and the Darkwill family controls the north of the Immortal Fortress.
The power is divided into two,
Secretly, many people call the northern part of the empire the Noxus North Empire and the south the Noxus South Empire. After witnessing the warlords' offensive, many forces have developed a pessimistic attitude towards Darkwill's regime.
Many people have even begun to call Lord Demon Face the Lord of the Empire.
Even such a terrifying demon from the underworld is no match for the Emerald Territory. No matter how good the legions under the Supreme Command are at fighting, how can they be the rival for the Emerald Territory?
In fact, even Lester himself thinks so.
On this day, a special guest was welcomed into the battle conference room of the Immortal Fortress. Zhan Nings, who had half a head of white hair, pushed open the door of the conference room with the guest and glanced at the man sitting high on the throne.
, lowered his head directly.
The person sitting in the main seat of the conference room at the main gate is none other than Brown Darkwill, the commander-in-chief of the Noxus Empire.
Although he is worried and upset every day because of the affairs of the Emerald Territory, Brown Darkwill does not show any signs of aging, as if he has escaped the shackles of time and remains youthful forever.
His thick black hair is healthier than that of a young man, and there is not a single wrinkle on his face. Only his pale face and a few rays of scarlet light in his eyes prove that Brown is no longer a mortal body.
After bowing to Darkwill on the main seat, Jennings began to introduce the bald mage wearing a magic cloak next to him.
The great commander, this is Master Simond. He comes from the God Realm, and this time he is here just for the matter of the Emerald Territory.
After knowing who the visitor was, Brown, who looked overjoyed, did not continue to act like a commander. He stood up from his seat and walked a few steps to the bald mage. He took the initiative to hold Simon as if he were an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
Virtue's right hand.
Jennings, this is great! You have done a great job!
Sir Simond, I longed for the stars and the moon, but finally you are here... Come, please take a seat, someone! Serve tea!
Without breaking away from Darkwill's affectionate behavior, Simond remained calm as always, allowing Darkwill to pull him to the main seat, and poured himself a cup of fragrant tea.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He could see that the pressure brought by the Emerald Territory to the Commander-in-Chief was by no means as dull as it seemed.
Guessing that the mighty and tough divine mage in front of him was a straight-forward boring gourd, Darkwill didn't say too much nonsense, but asked straight to the point.
The envoy came down to earth this time to listen to our prayers. I wonder how to deal with the heretic Lester?
Heretic is the personal definition given to Lester by the curious star spirit Tretiers. Simond knew that this was because Lester was unwilling to follow the astral oracle.
Having said that, if the man who defeated him was put on a leash as easily as he was, I'm afraid Cuitiles wouldn't need him anymore.
With all due respect, Jade's leadership is huge, and with the strength of the current commander, he is not a match for Lord Demon Face.
The smile froze, and Darkwill's face suddenly darkened. He had suffered from the pain of the scarlet body over the years, and had long lost the ability to nourish his qi.
What does Sir Simond mean by this? Why not make it clearer?
The Emerald Territory must not resist forcefully.
Have you ever thought about it, Commander-in-Chief, why the Emerald Territory has always chosen to stand still when it is clear that they can invade the city as long as they let the soldiers advance all the way?
Darkwill narrowed his eyes and unconsciously rubbed the jade ring finger with his right hand.
Why? It’s just that there is no reason to send troops. I, Darkwill, am the orthodoxy of the empire. Once he sends troops, he will be treason. As long as he still considers himself a member of the empire, he will not dare to attack me. Yes, he will not
Dare to attack me...
This is true, but the Emerald Territory will not wait forever. Lord Demon Face is probably looking for a suitable reason to send troops now.
I know all this, Commander Simond. I pray to the gods to know something that I don’t know now, not just a bunch of nonsense.
These words could be said to be very rude, but Simond did not feel dissatisfied and instead smiled slightly.
What if the commander-in-chief takes the initiative to give up the Immortal Fortress?
What!? You want me to give up my position as commander-in-chief to that traitor?
With his eyes widened, Darkwill stood up, looking in disbelief.
You want me to surrender the Immortal Fortress?
Simond sneered and said that he had to stand up now.
Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. If the commander-in-chief doesn't believe me, I can just leave without saying anything else. After this, it will be nothing more than defeat and death. I think the commander-in-chief is already prepared...
Wait, your Majesty, hold on, I'm too impatient. I just want to know, what benefit will giving up this Immortal Fortress have to me in defeating the Emerald Territory?
It was no surprise that Darkwill would leave him alone, so Simond slowed down his speech to give Darkwill more time to understand.
The commander-in-chief should also know that the most difficult thing about the Emerald Territory is none other than the extraordinary elite legions and many extraordinary strong men.
I can provide part of the latter to the Grand Commander, but the former can only be cultivated by the Grand Commander himself. The current regular battle groups of the empire alone are simply no match for the Emerald Legion.
This was a very unpleasant thing to say, but it was an unmitigated fact. Darkwill could only nod his head.
Yes, just talking about the dragon lizard knights of the Emerald Territory, the empire has no way to resist them. It can only use traps and pear to delay them, and then use bed crossbows to kill them. The efficiency is extremely low. The same is true for most other legions...
After drinking the fragrant tea in one gulp, Simond stood up, took a few steps to the wall where the large map was hung, and pointed at a place with his finger.
Darkwill and Jennings took a closer look, where is Nuer City if it is not located at the northern foot of the Urus Mountains?
Darkwill was a little surprised and uncertain.
This is... Nuer City?
Yes, if the commander-in-chief can obtain the city of Nuer, I can offer you two ancient ruins,
Relying on the ruins, you can easily obtain extraordinary power. As long as you manage it properly, the commander will soon obtain extraordinary power that can destroy the Emerald Territory.
Simond smiled slightly when he said this.
Now that the Grand Commander has left the mortal body and has a long lifespan, you must know that even as powerful as the Emerald Territory, it took nearly a thousand years to suppress the decision to attack the mainland.
As long as the commander-in-chief calms down and manages the business for several decades, with the help of me and the God Realm, there is no room for a comeback.
The Grand Commander may not know something, but this immortal fortress is actually a key node for the Lord of the Underworld to counterattack the material realm. The black rose and the pale witch that the Grand Commander has always been afraid of are the guardians of the nodes of the underworld.
When the commander-in-chief gives up this hot potato, Lester will inevitably compete with the king of the underworld to consume each other. With my help, the commander-in-chief will build up his strength.
As long as he finds the right moment, the great commander can destroy Jade and kill Netherworld. Of course, there will also be a day when he comes to the Immortal Fortress.
Wouldn't it be better to take a step back and gain a chance to survive than to be defeated and die for the sake of honor?
After hearing what he said, Darkwill calmed down a lot and actually felt that it was very reasonable.
It would be too unrealistic to really ask the divine envoy of the God Realm to perform a miracle to kill the Emerald Territory for you so that you can take over the power. A bald divine envoy with a silver tongue cannot be expected to be able to deal with so many terrifying extraordinary powers.
Or, I'm afraid it won't happen in a blink of an eye.
Besides, the God Realm definitely sent divine envoys to help him not for his own benefit, but for the Emerald Territory. He had no position to point fingers at the God Realm.
After all, it is easier to retreat than to advance. This method of watching the fire from the other side is the easiest to implement.
Sir Simond's words are reasonable. If giving up the Immortal Fortress can lead to another turning point, this Immortal Fortress may not be impossible to give up.
Glancing at Jennings who remained silent and with his head lowered, Darkwill looked at Simond again and asked with a stern face.
I just don’t know if the Divine Envoy can tell you more about Nuer City and its ruins?
Of course, if the commander-in-chief cannot be reassured, I think it will be difficult for the commander-in-chief to choose to give up the Immortal Fortress.
Simond's finger first slid down and stopped on a ridge somewhere in the Urus Mountains.
This ruins is called [Hanluo Fortress]. It is located in the valley below the mountain ridge line. It is buried under heavy snow. Only I can find it.
See.
Thousands of years ago, a group of ancient people living underground, in order to avoid being exterminated by the dragon clan that ruled the continent, devoted all their efforts to cracking mountains and cracking rocks, and built this vast fortress in the underground world with obsidian as the theme.
Speaking of construction technology and defensive functions, Hanluo Fortress is no worse than [Immortal Fortress]. In addition, Hanluo Fortress also has agricultural functions that Immortal Fortress does not have. If all underground agriculture is developed, Hanluo Fortress can at least support people.
A population of at least 100,000,
By obtaining Hanluo Fortress, the Grand Commander will be able to obtain ancient smelting technology and weapon making technology that are far superior to today's, as well as the mithril veins located in the mines of the fortress.
Mithril? You mean Demacian steel that’s comparable to the Emerald Demon Steel!?
Simond smiled slightly.
The reason why the Grand Commander is so strange is that he does not know that the mithril mines of Demacia are located under the Urus Mountains. I can assure the Grand Commander that the mithril mines under the Coldfall Fortress will never be better than those in Demacia.
The mineral veins controlled by the state are smaller.
So, what about the other ruins?
Darkwill's voice was trembling, and Simond's finger slid upwards, pointing to a certain point in the northern mountains.
I wonder if the Grand Commander has heard of [Ancient City of Meladia]?
