I, Folyago, am the most devoted lover in Runeterra.

This general was none other than Foxy, the deputy commander of Bilgewater, who was appointed to go to Ionia on this mission.

Of course, all of this is only nominal; in reality, everything is merely to facilitate this person's actions.

Although the young man spoke in a gentle and low-key tone, Foxy dared not be negligent in the slightest.

After all, he knew in his heart what this person's identity meant.

"Your Majesty is too kind. It is our honor to be able to serve Your Majesty."

Foxy spoke again respectfully, the reverence in his eyes unmistakable.

"Hahaha......"

"Foxchick, don't be nervous."

Folyago stroked Foksian.

"Do you know why I came here in person?"

Foujigo suddenly asked a question, which puzzled Foxy.

"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

He dared not presume to guess what this person was thinking.

“You know Foxy, Ionia is a really interesting place.”

"And it........."

"Extremely dangerous."

Fouguere spoke calmly, and his words startled Foxy.

Even this person described the place as "dangerous," and Foxy couldn't quite imagine how terrifying it must be.

At this moment, the fleet was extremely close to the mainland of the province of Warneri. Looking out through the ship's cabin glass, Folyago could vaguely see the outline of the entire Ionia.

To the average person, this is just an ordinary piece of land.

But in Foljego's eyes, he could see a phantom resembling a giant dragon looming over the entire sky of Ionia.

The giant dragon hovered in the skies above Ionia, its body occasionally twitching slightly.

Of course, this is not in the material plane of Runeterra; a giant dragon really does roam the skies above Ionia in 3.4.

This giant dragon is a projection of this terrifying being from the spiritual plane onto the material plane.

Spirit of Ionia!

This is more than just a legend.

Ionia is known as the "birthplace of all magic," and there's a reason for that.

In Runeterra, demigods are not beings that can be attained through natural means.

Those who can ascend to demigod status with their acquired bodies are extremely rare; most of them borrow the power of a great being to break through the boundaries of legend.

In Fryego's memory, there were very few people like this.

He himself is one of them.

Most demigods are manifestations of certain rules or elements of Runeterra.

Most demigods are no different.

In Ionia, there are naturally similar demigods.

But this is not the true appearance of the "Spirit of Ionia".

With Foljego's keen eyesight at this moment, he could naturally see the terror of this giant dragon.

This is a force that the creatures of Runeterra cannot withstand.

This power is probably—a true god!

A strange look flickered in Foygo's eyes.

Only in this way would it be worthwhile for him to plot against it.

Chapter 206, The Impulse to Draw the Sword

When people mention Ionia, a string of words come to mind.

Ancient, mysterious, conservative...

Before the mysteries of this nascent land are unveiled, most people in Runeterra subconsciously hold a sense of reverence for this continent.

An invisible chasm separates the Ionians from others, forming an insurmountable wall.

And the name of this wall is—Spirit of Ionia!

This is a great consciousness, and the culmination of all Ionian beliefs.

Perhaps there are different ideological conflicts within Ionia, some radical and some conservative.

However, they have one thing in common: they share a faith in the spirits of Ionia.

Furthermore, the sheer devotion of the vast majority of them is somewhat alarming.

..........

A fleet sailed in from afar, and the people on the shore watched its arrival with various expressions.

Elder Suma scrutinized the other ship with a sharp gaze.

After scanning the area, Elder Suma's brows furrowed even more.

The fleet was not large, but it was not small either.

Ten warships can play a very significant role in some localized, small-scale battles.

Moreover, this fleet was not what Elder Suma had imagined, with its tattered sails and blood-stained fishhooks hanging on the decks and gunwales.

On the contrary, these ships looked imposing and extraordinary, with almost every warship being over twenty meters long.

The warship's sharp ram gleamed with a dazzling cold light under the sunlight, while the deck and hull were uniformly painted in pale white and jet black.

A banner emblazoned with muskets and a demonic sword hangs atop a sturdy mast, fluttering in the wind.

Elder Soma's expression grew increasingly solemn. This fleet was completely different from the Bilgewater he remembered.

Few people know that before succeeding as the head of the Gale Sword Dojo, Elder Souma had traveled to other kingdoms in Runeterra.

This includes Bilgewater.

Elder Souma felt he would never forget the years he spent wandering in Bilgewater.

Elder Souma's impression of Bilgewater was still that of a filthy, chaotic, and lawless place.

Almost as soon as he arrived in Bilgewater, he was targeted by four or five groups of outlaws.

These criminals mostly saw that he was alone and thought he was an easy target, so they wanted to squeeze some money out of him.

Fortunately, Elder Suma had already gone very far in the Swift Wind Sword Path when he was young.

Under the fierce and swift sword technique, the young Elder Su Ma was able to escape unscathed.

This experience left the Bilgewater people with a bad impression of Elder Souma.

Right now, we are at a critical juncture as Noxus invades Ionia.

Who knows what these Bilgewater people are planning to do at this time?

Could it be that they think they can take advantage of the chaos during the Empire's invasion and grab a share of the spoils in Ionia?

Elder Soma believed that this was the most likely outcome for the outlaws of Bilgewater.

Beside Elder Suma was his young disciple, a young swordsman named Yasuo.

He was dressed in a blue swordsman's uniform, with his long hair tied back, but because his hair was so stiff, it stood up straight.

From this young man, one can see a unique arrogance and self-confidence that belongs to young lovers.

Clearly, this is a young man who has not yet received enough tempering and is still in the stage of being fearless like a newborn calf.

Soon, the fleet docked.

Elder Suma, Master Kushuo, and Elder Emma were the first to go forward to greet them.

As an envoy representing all of Ionia, I went to make contact with the Kingdom of Bilgewater.

...............

The warship lowered its gunwale, and surrounded by soldiers in black and white armor, a man in a blue general's uniform led a young man with long, pale hair off the ship.

Because the young man was carrying a long sword, Elder Suma and Yasuo's gazes lingered on him for an extra second.

This is because of the instinctive mutual attraction between swordsmen.

Yasuo, whose cultivation level was still shallow, might not have felt anything, but Elder Suma felt a strange emotion rising in his heart.

Elder Suma's strength, though not yet at the legendary level, is only one step away.

Furthermore, due to the unique nature of the Gale Sword Dao, Elder Suma is capable of fighting against ordinary legendary powerhouses for a short period of time.

Of course, this is on the premise that the other party does not activate the unique domain of the Legend.
