Noxus Glory

Chapter 38 Wilson's Recommendation

Dawn breaks.

The silvery dawn gradually turned crimson, bathing the snow-white mountain peaks in its light.

Inside the campsite rest area.

After sparring with Eric yesterday, Huo Jixing did not leave but chose to stay overnight.

After a short rest overnight, he got up and opened the doors and windows.

A chilly air rushed towards him, and as he gazed at the falling snowflakes, his heart gradually calmed.

However, after a few breaths, he could faintly smell the rusty scent of blood in the air.

He then looked out towards the camp.

After a night, the restless atmosphere that had enveloped the camp did not disappear; instead, it grew even more intense, like molten lava boiling.

"Did Darius fail?" Huo Jixing murmured softly, a sense of doubt rising in his heart.

Even Darkwell's reputation could influence Imperial chapters.

But Darius was no ordinary man either.

He is the legendary Hand of Noxus, the commander of numerous chapters, and the representative of the Imperial military.

How could control of the legion be so easily taken away?

"No, something's not right!"

Huo Jixing looked towards the noisy camp. Apart from the bloody smell that filled the air, there seemed to be no chaos.

This is completely different from the situation of a camp being bombed.

in contrast.

On the winding streets, he saw countless Noxian soldiers emerging from the rest and training areas.

As far as the eye could see, the Noxian soldiers were clad in armor, wielding sharp blades, their weathered faces beaming with bloodthirsty smiles.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

While Huo Jixing was pondering this.

Suddenly, a dull sound, like a heavy object hitting the ground, rang in my ears.

Following the source of the sound, Huo Jixing saw a thick shadow covering the wide bluestone street.

As they moved forward in the shadows, the hard ground trembled.

The Noxian soldiers along the way scattered and looked at the enormous creature passing by with fear in their eyes.

Dragon Lizard!

A bizarre reptile from the southern jungles of the empire.

Huo Jixing's gaze was deep as he recalled the name of the giant green beast before him.

This is not a young dragon lizard that has not yet grown up to be a noble's mount, but a large, grown adult dragon lizard that has become a heavy-duty pack animal.

One after another, green behemoths resembling lizards walked along the bluestone streets, their scaly bodies and tails reflecting the dawn's glow.

Its barbed, deep green horns pierced the sky, and as its head swayed, its enormous scarlet eyes flashed with a ferocious and bloodthirsty aura.

Or perhaps they are a little hungry.

The dragon lizard's mouth, filled with sharp teeth, would occasionally open, and as it looked at the Noxian soldiers on both sides of the street, drops of yellow saliva would drip down.

Behind the dragon lizard were rows of steel vehicles covered in canvas.

Huge, menacing steel chains were fastened around the dragon lizard's body and limbs, allowing it to easily pull vehicles along behind it as it moved.

"Weapons and armor!" Huo Jixing's pupils constricted when he saw the things wrapped in canvas.

These dragon lizards, resembling war behemoths, were merely passing through the rest area.

They come from...

Deep within the military outpost, a towering gate constructed of black stone!

"Is the prelude to the war between Noxus and Freljord finally about to begin?" Hoji Star murmured softly, gazing at the departing dragon lizard.

"star?"

The shouts that rang in his ears brought Huo Jixing back to his senses.

Looking down from the second-floor windows, he saw Wilson standing in front of the door, wearing a red and white robe.

Looking at that familiar red and white robe, he sometimes wondered if he had multiple identical robes, or if he had always worn it without ever washing it.

Of course, he was just curious and would never actually ask.

It was still the familiar living room.

Hojixing, Eric, and Wilson sat together, while DeWitt's Moore was not far away, polishing their armor and blades.

Clearly, the commotion within the camp has begun to affect all the Noxian soldiers.

"Your Choice"

Wilson, with his sharp eyes, looked at Huo Jixing at this moment, as if he had noticed a slight change in him.

But thinking of General Darius's orders from the previous night, Wilson shook his head slightly and did not try to persuade him further.

Everyone has the right to make their own choices, and he has no right to interfere.

Especially for extraordinary individuals like Huo Jixing, once they make a decision, it's virtually impossible for others to change their minds.

I had intended to recommend Eric.

After a moment's hesitation, Wilson carefully considered his words before continuing.

"Now that you have returned from studying with Gregory, I will recommend you to General Darius to become one of the scout captains for this mission."

"Hmm, what do you mean? Are you recommending me?"

Huo Jixing frowned and looked at Eric beside him. Seeing that Eric remained unmoved, he relaxed and spoke softly.

"I heard it from Gregory."

"Yes, it's true!" Wilson interrupted Huo Jixing directly, his expression grave: "The Swain coup has changed hands, and the position of Imperial Commander has changed hands."

"What?!"

Exclamations rang out.

Eric suddenly stood up, his burly body crashing into the wooden table, his expression filled with disbelief.

DeWitt and Moore, who were sitting not far away, also looked shocked, stopped what they were doing, and looked over.

Although Swain was of noble birth, he wielded considerable influence within the Imperial Legion.

He once commanded the Imperial Warband, defeating countless enemies and achieving numerous military exploits; otherwise, he would not have become the commander of the Ionian War.

Wilson took in the changes in everyone's expressions and continued speaking to Huo Jixing.

"Make the best use of resources and talents."

"The Empire is currently facing a difficult situation. Although you are exceptionally talented, the Empire will not treat you with any special favors."

The Noxian Empire certainly treats those with extraordinary abilities differently.

They are given all rights and status, and they will even help them hone their special talents.

Now that the war has begun, it is time for the extraordinary to make their sacrifice.

Huo Jixing's choice was indeed unexpected by Wilson, but now that he had returned, he had an inescapable responsibility for this war.

"General Darius will summon you tonight; be prepared."

Wilson stood up, left his last words, and then hurriedly departed.

Throughout their conversation, the two never mentioned whether Huo Jixing would refuse, but their tone and expression already indicated that Huo Jixing would agree.

"Sorry, Eric!"

Watching Wilson's figure disappear, Huo Jixing turned to Eric beside him and said apologetically.

He never expected that his return would replace Eric's nomination spot.

"The capable rise, the weak fall; this is the ironclad rule of the Noxian Legion," Eric said with a smile, shaking his head slightly.

"Don't overthink it, I don't care about these things."

"I truly envy your summons from General Darius!"

In the hearts of Noxian soldiers, Darius holds an unparalleled position; he is the symbol of Noxian power.

Not only Eric, but also DeWitt and Moore were incredibly envious.

Since becoming Noxian soldiers, they had rarely seen General Darius, let alone summoned him alone.

Huo Jixing was also full of anticipation, as this should be the first time he had ever seen a real League of Legends hero.

However, the thought of replacing Eric and becoming a scout captain put him under immense pressure.

Fortunately, Wilson implied that Eric and DeWitt would remain his teammates and become members of the scout team.

Next comes the waiting time.

From dawn to noon, and until dusk, Huo Jixing waited.

While waiting, he noticed that the restless atmosphere in the camp was growing stronger.

After DeWitt and Moore went out to scout, Hojising and Eric learned that General Darius had ordered the entire army to set off.

"Commander Hojistar, General Darius summons you to the council chamber!"

Before the heavy door, a Noxian soldier clad in armor and a dark red cloak stopped and spoke.

"Okay, I'll leave right away!"

Huo Jixing stopped chatting with Eric and followed the Noxian soldiers away.

Along the way, he looked at the bustling streets and the Noxian soldiers hurrying by, took a deep breath, took out the token from his pocket, looked at the crimson double-bladed axe mark, and whispered.

"At this moment, the curtain is rising!"
