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

This scene wasn't just happening in this one tent; all the tents in the vicinity were filled with these countless pottery jars!

Just as the Galin people were at a loss, a heavy sound of wind breaking suddenly rang out in the sky.

In this situation, the sound was like a death knell beating down the clock!

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

As the fine sand in Russell's purple hourglass ran out, a hint of emotion flashed across Russell's usually composed face.

"fire!!!"

Then Russell shouted "chde!" and the naval soldiers who had been preparing all around him started the cannons on their sides.

Their target was the battlefield ten kilometers away!

Even now, on this battlefield, there are still Noxians fighting the enemy.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Whoosh..."

A dense barrage of cannon fire erupted from the position, as blazing fireballs, glowing with intense light, were hurled into the air from the cannon barrels.

These shells that were fired were the latest products from Zaun.

— It is a type of incendiary munition that sacrifices penetration capability to increase the area of ​​fire coverage.

A single bomb, once it explodes upon landing, can generate a blazing flame that reaches nearly fifty meters high.

"Cum again!"

After a salvo, Russell gave another order to the artillerymen around him.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"......"

Within three minutes, Russell's artillerymen had fired all their shells.

In the distance, Lasalle watched a dark green fire burning in the forest, his pupils contracting slightly.

"Get out!"

"I don't want any of these things!"

Lassalle immediately roared and gave orders to the soldiers around him.

Then, without stopping, he hurriedly ran towards the warships on the beach, abandoning many of the warships' cannons.

Upon hearing Russell's order, the soldiers didn't linger and rushed towards the shore.

you ask why?

This is a forest; they won't care about the fire that's about to start. Who exactly are these naval soldiers?

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

As the first shell, carrying a wave of heat, landed on the ground, Riven's heart skipped a beat.

At that moment, countless scenes suddenly connected in her mind.

Dukur's orders, the suspicious and fragile pottery jar, an isolated military camp in the forest, the sudden appearance of the Galin army, and the cabinet magician who deceived her at the moment of parting.

Those pottery jars are haunted!

And she was used by Dukur as a pawn to lure these Galinians!

"Boom!!!"

"Bear bear bear..."

As the shell slammed into the ground, a burst of flames suddenly erupted from the point of impact, covering an area of ​​fifty meters!

Perhaps due to the great distance, the shell did not hit the military camp, but instead landed among the Galin people outside the camp.

Dozens of Galin people were instantly roasted to a crisp by the flames before they even had a chance to scream.

But this is only the beginning.

The blazing fireballs fell like raindrops from the sky.

The burst of fire instantly engulfed everything.

"No!"

Riven was terrified and no longer cared about the three opponents in front of her.

She immediately unleashed her ultimate technique – Gale Slash.

The azure sword energy shattered the three cannonballs flying towards them, causing them to disappear in mid-air as streaks of fire.

But all that Riven did was just a drop in the ocean.

Because at this moment, there were nearly a thousand blazing fireballs hurtling towards us from the sky.

Even legendary experts couldn't intercept such a large number.

"Boom!!!"

Finally, a shell landed in the camp, right on top of the barracks where the pottery jars were kept.

"Crack!"

That was the sound of a clay pot breaking in the barracks, but it seemed so insignificant amidst the explosion of the cannonballs.

The next moment, the alchemical potion inside the jar sprayed out.

As the artillery fire ignited, something terrible happened.

"boom!!!!!!"

A dark green mushroom cloud shot into the sky, and even from hundreds of meters away, one could feel the danger emanating from it.

"Boom boom boom!!!!"

Then, the other barracks that held the pottery jars all emitted similar dark green mushroom clouds.

"Buzzing..."

The earth began to tremble, and the next second, a dark green wave of flame, tens of meters high, spread outwards from where the mushroom cloud rose.

All mortals on the ground were as insignificant as ants beneath the dark green flames that rose tens of meters high.

Chapter 239, I am who I am

Whether they are Ionians or Noxians, under this dark green wave of flames tens of meters high, their ultimate fate is to be reduced to ashes.

Riven stared at the person engulfed by the terrifying dark green flames, her heart filled with despair.

What exactly are they doing?

Did Noxus come to Ionia just to start such a massacre?

Has the empire become so cruel that it's even sending its own people to serve as cannon fodder?

Is this still the Noxian Empire that Riven serves?

A heart shattered by disillusionment, filled with the indignation of betrayal, and a sense of powerlessness in the face of the terrifying waves of flame...

All of this combined led Riven to give up all resistance.

Dying is not difficult; sometimes, living requires more courage.

With her own strength, Riven might still have the ability to fight back against this wave of flames.

But after that?

How could she face her fallen soldiers? How could she face the innocent Ionians who perished? How could she face the empire that had betrayed her?

And how can I face... the self who once had hands stained with heinous crimes?

Thinking of this, a single tear rolled down Riven's cheek.

"bump........"

Riven discarded the runic greatsword in her hand, the weapon that the Empire had once bestowed upon her in honor, onto the ground.

As the dark green flames carrying destructive power surged forth, she slowly closed her eyes.

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

As a dark green mushroom cloud rose from the forest.

Meanwhile, in the forest, the mages who had been hiding for a long time activated the magic circles around them.

As they chanted, a purple magical light began to rise from the crystal ball in their hands.

Gradually, the crystal balls held by the magicians hidden throughout the forest began to form a mysterious connection.

This connection is like a large net, linking together the locations where mushroom clouds erupted.

If you look closely now, you can see that the mages are arranged in a pentagram formation around the camp.

In an instant, the formation became seven...: six?' three: four. eight""" zero?'; one! five;;, seven.

A giant purple pentagram array, composed of magicians and crystal balls, enveloped the sky above the forest.
