With the howling cold wind in his ears, the man firmly grasped the back of the dragon bird's neck and passed through the white clouds.
Even with a physique that is compatible with the ice element, Lester felt like he had been stripped naked, tied into a rice dumpling, and stuffed into a freezer.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Jiang Luo! Jiang Luo! Give me a promise!!"
Against the strong wind that poured into his mouth, his lips twitched, and the embarrassed Lester roared loudly.
"Woooooo~"
After hearing the familiar command, the silver-winged dragon bird lowered its head and glanced, found a suitable landing place, and quickly flew downwards.
He jumped down from the back of the dragon bird with a swing and stood on the big gray stone. Lester's hair and eyelashes were already covered with frost, like a funny Santa Claus.
Different from the first low-altitude flight where the partner was afraid of falling to death, this time the silver-winged dragon was extremely excited and flew high into the sky with great joy, almost freezing Lester into a popsicle.
Fortunately, the speed is not slow.
While using a spiritual posture to relieve the stiffness and coldness of his body, Lester confirmed his location, which was probably in the middle of the north and south of the Urus Mountains, only ten minutes away from the Emerald Territory.
When his body was almost recovered, Lester climbed onto the back of Silver Moon's neck again and issued instructions.
"south!"
"Hululu~"
…
Time goes back to one day ago.
Jade Collar West District, Government Affairs Processing House.
In the room with the door locked, Leobert was earnestly persuading the political officer Harold.
"Elder Harold, Lester, that son-of-a-bitch Noxian bastard, is dead outside. Now is our chance to destroy and control the Emerald Territory! Our time has come!"
Leobert was not worried that his voice would be heard by outsiders, because outside the room, he was guarding his own people wearing armor.
"Are you dissatisfied with your current life? Leobert? The reason why I chose you to be responsible for the transfer of the people is not to make you rebel. It's still too late to leave here. I will pretend that I haven't seen anything.
did not hear it."
Harold was filled with fear and was ready to report the person after he left. He sat firmly on the wooden chair in the main seat and looked calm.
Hearing what Harold said, the man's face became distorted.
"This should be our territory! It is the homeland of the Mombians! It is what those Noxian bandits took away with swords and killings. No matter how good our lives are, this land does not belong to us after all...
We should take it back! The Emerald Territory should be renamed Nocmooch! Can you tolerate those cruel Noxian barbarians shitting and peeing on your head every day?"
"So, do you think the days of building walls and growing corn were better than now?"
Standing up from the wooden chair, Harold sighed and said sincerely.
"Look back, Leobert. Even if you want to rebel, how will you deal with the terrifying Noxian Black Iron Guards and Shadow Crossbowmen? Just rely on two or three resentful Mombians?"
Responding to Harold's gaze without any sign of weakness, Leobert said in a deep voice.
"Elder Harold, even if we cannot control the Emerald Territory, we can burn down most of the buildings and plunge the Emerald Territory into a state of disorderly collapse. After that, as long as we ask Demacia to send troops, we can restore our previous state.
By then, you will be the ruler of Nokmoch and the leader of the Mombia people..."
The man's tone gradually became higher and his expression became more and more crazy, making Harold completely understand that the man in front of him had completely lost his mind.
"We will not do better than Leicester! Don't you understand this? I will never be with you!"
"...So, you are going to work for that savage dog in Leicester even to the death? Haha, you are indeed an out-and-out traitor and lackey."
Taking out a small dagger from his arms, Leobert approached Harold.
"I gave you a chance, Elder Harold. Now that you know our secret, please go to hell."
The wooden door was opened at some point, and a crossbow arrow pierced Leobert's right arm. In pain, Leobert dropped the dagger, covering his right arm and turning away in horror.
Body.
Harold wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at Epsol who appeared at the door, and secretly sighed that he had made the right bet.
The shadow crossbowman took away the ashen-faced Leobert. Epsol took a deep look at Harold, nodded, and turned to leave.
Sitting slumped on the wooden chair behind him, Harold slowly closed his eyes as he recalled the killing intent at that moment.
Absolutely, you cannot betray the Emerald Territory...
That night, Margaret personally tortured, interrogated more than a dozen people who attempted to rebel, and obtained a list of more than a dozen people. The Noxian Black Iron Guards dispatched overnight and launched a bloody suppression.
Early the next morning, when many residents of the Jade Territory woke up, they found that there were twenty-eight fresh corpses on the wooden poles of the execution platform where corpses had not been hung for a long time. The chests of the corpses had been cut open, and there was only oozing fluid inside the empty chests.
human bones,
There are tiny scars all over the body, and many people even have no fingernails or missing fingers and joints.
Seeing such a terrifying scene, many residents of the Emerald Territory thought they were so frightened that they fainted. Later, they learned that the corpse hanging on the wooden pole was a traitor who tried to betray Lord Leicester.
After the sheepskin confessions were publicized in the square, the residents became more aware of and more frightened by the horrific death scene in front of them.
However, in addition to the complicated emotions, Margaret, who personally implemented the interrogation and arrest plan, also gained the terrifying title of "Heart-Eviscerator".
For a time, the Emerald Territory became a bit turbulent. No one dared to mention the lord who had been missing for more than a month, and no one dared to commit any crime. They all did their own things honestly, for fear that they would be gouged out by that terrible person.
The one with a heart is watching.
The waves in the darkness of the Emerald Territory briefly disappeared, and for a time this peaceful and fertile land restored its good public order.
On this day, Meredith was in a deep state of meditation, and soon the mage from the Black Rose came to her door.
Meredith opened the door. Outside the door was one of the four mages who took turns monitoring the mines in the Silver Mountains.
"Mage Meredith, through monitoring the guard's perception, has confirmed that there has been a large-scale movement of evil objects in the mine. General Margaret asked me to inform you to go to the entrance of the mine quickly and prepare for battle."
