0548 Swain and Black Rose

The Battle of Blood River completely changed the situation in Noxus. After this battle, the Immortal Fortress, which originally had an absolute advantage, now lost all its mobile forces and was completely at a disadvantage; the desperate Besilico Front proved that

He gained his own strength and gained the support of the Noxian city that was originally in a neutral state.

When the news reached the Immortal Fortress, Brown Darkwill almost collapsed in his seat. He looked at the battle report in his hand blankly, and even he was no longer in the mood to pay attention to the fact that his most admired nephew was beheaded.

.

In a daze, His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief even heard the sound of the death knell, which was the bell ringing for himself!

"Quickly go and invite General Kecao!" Darkwill came back to his senses, and immediately used the imperial war god again, "No, I will visit him personally - the empire cannot live without General Kecao!"

Although he has been worried about Kecao replacing him, Darkwill also knows very well that this general who pays attention to the honor of military nobles will not kill him completely even if he really becomes the commander. But if Besilico's rebellion

If he really wins, then he and even the entire Darkwill family may not be spared!

The lesser of two evils, let's invite Marshal Cecao back!

However, just when Darkwill was getting dressed and planning to go to "Corporal Lixian" in person, another piece of desperate news came.

"After hearing the result of the Battle of the Blood River, Marshal Du Cucault was so furious that his wounds opened and he fell into a coma."

Darkwill sat down dullly, sitting on the throne of the commander that he had been guarding with all his life. At this moment, his heart fell to the bottom.

The two messengers who conveyed the news stood stiffly on the spot, neither leaving nor staying. They could only hope that the commander-in-chief, who had become increasingly cruel recently, would not anger him.

"Let's go, everyone, let me be alone for a while." After a long time, Brown Darkwill finally said in a hoarse voice, "No one can come in without my order."

The two messengers left tremblingly, and then the guards closed the door tightly, leaving Darkwill alone, staring at the ceiling with his eyes blankly.

"Dear First Rose." Darkwill spoke in a low voice, as if moaning, "I need your help, I need the help of the Black Rose."

No one responded to him.

"Greed and stupidity gave me an undue pride in the past." Darkwill increased his chips, "I am willing to pay any price to correct this wrong."

Still no response.

"I should put myself in the right position." Darkwill's prayer continued, "I don't know how to show my regret. This kind of pain is always tormenting me, making me burn inside. Respect

The First Rose, I need your help, Noxus needs your help."

This time, there was finally a magical response in the empty office.

In front of Darkwill, his prayers seemed like pebbles smashed into the water, causing ripples out of thin air. After the ripples were like a mirror, a pair of eyes as deep as a pool of water appeared in front of him, making him

He could barely suppress a shiver.

The other party has a slim figure and exquisite curves, but there is nothing charming in Darkwill's heart, only unspeakable fear.

"Your Excellency, the Grand Commander." She walked with elegant steps to the throne that represented the supreme power of Noxus, and smiled slightly, "You are in great power and full of ambition. You don't care about the black rose, and you don't even want to call her.

I am called the pale lady."

Even though Darkwill is the commander-in-chief, when facing him, the pale lady's posture is obviously higher.

Perhaps in Swain's view, the Ionian War showed the corrupted side of the Immortal Fortress, and Darkwill was also a puppet of the Black Rose. But in fact, compared to those nobles whose minds were completely controlled by the Black Rose,

Darkwill still has some ego - Darkwill does desire to obtain immortality through the black rose, but this does not mean that he has to completely give up the authority of the commander. If possible, he would prefer to have both.

What Darkwill hopes is to use Black Rose himself, not to be Black Rose's dog.

Unfortunately, at the critical moment of life and death, facing the ridicule of the pale lady, all Darkwill could do was to put on a smile, then abandon the reserve of a great commander, kneel down on one knee respectfully, and say with the words he had never known before.

In a humble tone, he replied "Yes, pale lady".

The pale lady seemed very satisfied with Darkwill's performance. A charming smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. This smile was so kind, so charming, and so chilling. Darkwill just looked at it.

He glanced at it and hurriedly lowered his head.

"The Darkwill family will become the soil that nourishes delicate roses." Darkwill's voice was trembling, "For this, the Darkwill family will dedicate everything..."

"In that case, why don't you want to look at me?"

Darkwill still wanted to lower his head, but an invisible force seemed to grab his neck and pull him into the air.

The dragging feeling on his neck made Darkwill suspect that he might turn into a corpse shaking in mid-air at any time. In this case, he could only look at the pale lady.

Darkwill saw that sweet yet dangerous smile again. He instinctively wanted to avoid it, but he could only hold on with his neck stiffened.

The next moment, in the pale palm of the pale lady, as her name suggests, a dark rose slowly opened. She stretched out her hand, as if stroking her loyal dog, and printed the black rose on Duckwei.

On your forehead.

The black mark disappeared in a flash and turned into an indestructible brand, engraved deep in Darkwill's soul.

"The roses will bear witness to your loyalty." The pale lady said as if she was very satisfied, "Now, you are also among the rose bushes."

The invisible chain broke at this moment, and Darkwill fell to the ground, breathing heavily. He instinctively wanted to think, but his brain was in chaos, as if there was an endless black rose in his mind.

It bloomed in his mind, blocking his thinking and swallowing his sanity.

"Jerico Swain is very proud, he thought he predicted your stupidity." The pale lady continued, "But it is a pity that he knows nothing about the true power - Gulans will give him an unforgettable lesson."

Lessons.”

"But the battle line..."

"Forget the battle line." The pale lady restrained her smile, "As a member of the Black Rose, we have more important things to do now."

……………………

Swain knew nothing about the conspiracy taking place in the Immortal Fortress.

Although the situation was excellent, he was still extremely alert and carefully guarded against all possible assassinations and tricks.

Swain knew that even if the good-for-nothing Darkwill was completely out of power, Black Rose would not give up. His journey to bring order to chaos had just begun!

Under his planning, the front line moved forward every day, advancing steadily, and supplies from the rear were continuously supported.

In addition to strategic supplies, the more radical cities even sent local battle groups to support the front line - although it is difficult to tell whether they are really trying to bring order to the chaos, or whether they are trying to win a share of merit in this war.

Ironwater City sent an armed fleet to escort, and Fendor contributed a large number of long-maned war horses. What surprised Swain the most was Loklund. After the news of the victory in the Battle of Blood River passed, Loklund sent out their

The Earth Dragon Lizard Legion came all the way across the ocean to help in the battle!

With the Earth Dragon Lizard Legion, the city ahead will no longer be an obstacle to the Besilico Front. The huge Earth Dragon Lizard and black powder will become the best weapons against diehard elements.

Even though he knew in his heart that the Lokronds were just following the wind, this did not prevent him from dragging Darius along with him to receive Branning Gullance, who was commanding the Earth Dragon Lizard Legion, who came to assist in the battle.

Swain, who was born in the old aristocracy, used all means to clear out the old aristocracy, and used every move to target the weak points; but when he needed to express goodwill to an old aristocrat, even if he didn't need to smile, he was enough to make people feel like a spring breeze.

"The Gulans family has a long and glorious tradition." Swain praised in a serious voice, "When the Varzhu Mountains were the border of the empire, the Gulans family was the first to have the courage and courage to cross that land.

The man who towers over the mountains.”

Although Swain's words were sincere, it seemed that Mr. Gulans was not very used to this kind of praise. He just whispered "this is a thing of the past" while taking out the documents he had already prepared.

.

"This is a record of all the earth dragon lizards. They are all big adults. Every time they step on the ground, it will cause the earth to tremble." Gulans introduced in a stick-reading tone, "As long as we have them, we

The army will be invincible!"

Darius, who had been in a daze before, heard this and finally took the initiative to ask about the Earth Dragon Lizard. Then he and Gulansi had a good chat - Gulansi, who was excited about the conversation, even took the initiative to speak.

, inviting Darius to meet those big guys.

"You'll love them."

Darius gladly accepted the invitation and even asked Swain if he wanted to go and have a look too.

After Swain narrowed his eyes slightly, he nodded obediently.

In this way, the three people and their soldiers came to the camp where the earth dragon lizards were temporarily kept. Just like Gulans said, the earth dragon lizards here are all adults, and each head is twelve feet tall at the shoulder.

Above, weighing tens of thousands of pounds.

Unlike those small, chocobo-like riding dragon lizards, these adult dragon lizards are indeed good at attacking cities. You only need to bring them to the edge of the city wall, and then drive them to keep them in panic.

When attacking the city wall, unless it is the thick wall of the Immortal Fortress, there is almost nothing that can stop these big guys.

Darius, who has been serving in the north for many years, has never seen such a big guy. Although the Freljord's Juvask wild boar and Ernuk are also large livestock, compared with the earth dragon lizard, they are simply

They were truly little guys, so Darius looked at these big guys up close with great interest, and asked Gulans some questions about them from time to time.

While Gulans answered Darius's questions, he led him and Swain into the depths of the camp, going deeper and deeper.

Swain's expression became playful. His eyes fell on the night crow resting on the shoulder of the earth dragon lizard, and a smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Darius continued to ask questions about the earth dragon lizards until he asked "how to drive them and whether they will lose control."

"The earth dragon lizards look big, but in fact they are very timid." The corners of Gulans's mouth began to turn up. This tall and thick man suddenly became a little strange and charming. "If you want to drive them, you only need to make trouble."

Just make some special noise."

"The sound you are talking about could not be the sound of black powder exploding, right?" Swain, who had remained silent before, suddenly said, "This kind of sound is indeed very special."

"Ah, Lord Swain, you are so perceptive." Gulans's voice began to become gradually shriller, "I really can't hide it from you——"

Before Gulans could finish his words, a dark arm stretched out and strangled his neck.

As the arm shook, a bag fell out of Gulansi's arms.

Darius moved the ax handle a few times and was shocked to find that it contained nothing but a large number of fire starting tools.

"Your mind is as flexible as ever, Swain." Gulans' figure began to become more and more slim, and his business gradually changed into a female voice, "But you chose the wrong path."

"Pale lady." Swain narrowed his eyes, "You are indeed not dead."

"What a pity, I won't die." Gulans, who was grabbed by the demon's arm, had already turned into another person. "On the contrary, you will die from the trampling of the earth dragon lizard today..."

While talking, someone in the camp detonated the black powder that had been arranged in advance. Under the triple stimulus of explosion, loud noise and smoke, these earth dragon lizards finally started running like crazy.

Darius instinctively raised his battle ax, trying to change the direction of the earth dragon lizards that were rushing towards him in a panic, but unfortunately, these big guys completely ignored Darius's threat - even if his battle

An ax can easily split a fully-armed soldier in two, but when faced with an adult dragon lizard, it will only leave flesh wounds.

This is a trap, and Darius seems incapable of resisting.

At the critical moment, Swain broke the neck of "Gulans" without hesitation, then decisively opened the demon's wings, grabbed Darius, and took him off directly on the spot, barely able to avoid it.

Opened the crazy earth dragon lizard.

On the ground, "Gulans", who was abandoned by him, used up his last strength and stared at Swain and Darius in the air until he was completely trampled into an indescribable mass.
