LOL: Let me touch your steel

When she heard the whistle and felt the terrible vibration, Tristana's heart was excited.

This is not the first time that Bandle City has been invaded by Noxus. Many years ago, Bandle City had suffered this disaster. At that time, Tristana had been living a carefree and easy-going life.

Until one day, she witnessed the arrival of a Noxian raider warband. Tristana was dozing in the shade of a tree when the surrounding trees suddenly caught fire...

Tristana had never known such pain, nor had she ever blamed herself for not doing anything. From that moment on, she would not allow such a terrible thing to happen again. In that moment, she decided to become the protector of all Bandle Groves, and of her fellow yordles.

Almost everyone in the Bandle City Guard was inspired by Tristana, and the Guard was formed as a result.

When she learned that the Noxian army was coming again, she was ready in her heart. She wanted to lead the guard to defend her homeland.

But when she arrived here, she saw a completely different scene.

The Noxian raiding group that was so powerful and terrifying in her eyes was actually being chased and beaten by... a human?

“As you can see, Tristana.”

Teemo shrugged, forcing a smile on his serious face: "Before this, I found three humans who accidentally broke in here. Thanks to these three guys, the Noxians had no room to fight back in front of them."

"More importantly, the guy in the lead was able to repair the door and passage!"

Following Teemo's words, Tristana's eyes fell on Zhang Xu and the others. Her expression changed several times, and finally revealed a questioning look: "Three people who accidentally broke in from outside? As soon as the three of them showed up, the Noxian army arrived... Are you sure there is nothing fishy here?"

"No, I've already asked Grandpa Holy Tree. The three of them have no ill intentions."

Hearing this, Tristana’s expression suddenly eased a lot. “So, the three of them helped us a lot.”

Tristana breathed a sigh of relief and shifted her gaze to focus on Vigus.

Seeing Vigus here too, Tristana couldn't help but feel puzzled.

With this guy's personality, he should want to stay as far away from this kind of thing as possible, right?

Tristana's gaze made Vigus very uncomfortable. In front of Tristana, she retreated step by step into the shade of the tree, hiding herself in the loose black robe, deceiving herself and others by pretending that you can't see me.

Seeing this, Tristana didn't know what to say, so she could only look back at the figure chasing the Noxian raiders.

Sarah was very excited now. Since becoming an ascender, she had not had any chance to attack. Although her opponent was a little weaker now, she was still intoxicated by the feeling of having strength.

If she had possessed this power earlier, it wouldn't have taken her so long to kill Gangplank and avenge herself.

Oh, that's not right. If I hadn't asked Zhang Xu to avenge me, I wouldn't have the strength I have now.

Sarah casually fired a bullet and killed a robber, and her eyes unconsciously fell on Zhang Xu.

This man is fascinating no matter how you look at him!

Sarah pursed her lips and made a decision secretly in her heart.

......

Noxus, the Immortal Bastion.

This is the heartland of the Noxus Empire and also the current capital of the Noxus Empire. In this imperial capital whose territory has expanded dozens of times, countless Noxus nobles live here.

But in this city, there is still a forbidden area that hides secrets.

An old castle.

In this ancient castle, the three most powerful people in Noxus today are located here.

The controller of the black rose, the Pale Lady, Leblanc, the Deceiver.

The de facto ruler of the entire Noxian Empire, the Noxian commander, Swain.

And the leader of the Noxian army, Darius, the Hand of Noxus who commanded the Trifarii Legion.

The three rulers of the Trifarix Council also symbolize three different forces: foresight, force, and cunning.

But at this moment, the three of them looked a little confused.

Especially LeBlanc.

Almost all the plans to conquer the magical realm where Bandle City is located were made by him, and for this, she even cooperated with Swain.

The person sent to carry out this mission was Vladimir, a man from the Noxian Empire whom she felt more at ease with.

If everything went normally, the door to the magic realm should have collapsed by now.

As long as the magical realm was exposed to them, Darius could lead the most loyal and powerful army to completely capture the realm at any time.

But now, they didn't see that magical world.

What went wrong in the process?

Swain hid his hands in his sleeves. Although the nominal supreme ruler of Noxus was a little confused in his heart, he had a calm look on his face.

Leblanc's plan this time is obviously beneficial to the empire.

No matter what kind of plan this guy has, as long as it is beneficial to the empire, Swain doesn't care at all, and is even willing to cooperate with him.

But now it seems...

This plan seems to have failed.

Chapter 263 Guaranteed Death

"It seems that Vladimir has disappointed us."

Swain glanced at Leblanc's figure hidden under her robe and said calmly, "It seems that some kind of accident has occurred."

Hearing Swain's voice, Darius tilted his head and did not speak, but a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Leblanc subconsciously clenched her fists in her sleeves. She had been having a very difficult time recently.

To be precise, things have been going very badly for Noxus since it started its foreign war.

The guy in front of her seemed to have mastered some extraordinary power and spied on her activities. After accumulating strength, Swain overthrew the corrupt ruler of Noxus, the puppet she supported, the Emperor of Noxus, Darkwill.

Then, she received the bad news that Cassiopeia was cursed and turned into a snake woman.

Then, Iris, whom she had always trusted and entrusted with important tasks, also disappeared. She lost the channel to contact the Spider God, the Despicable Maw.

Now, her plan seemed to have failed.

As a result, the Black Rose she led suffered several blows in succession and seemed to have to return to underground activities again.

only...

LeBlanc's eyes fell on Swain. Could this guy still give her such a chance?

"I don't think Vladimir's mission will fail."

Although the situation might be a little dire, LeBlanc's voice remained cold.

Vladimir has many identities. He is a distinguished nobleman in Noxus, a 'god' revered by some barbarian tribes, and the leader of the very popular Scarlet Order.

But the more important point is that he is one of the leaders of the Black Rose.

In order to regain power, Leblanc sent Vladimir to carry out this mission. Although some of Vladimir's actions made Leblanc difficult to agree with, she believed in this partner without hesitation.

"hold on."

"Do you really think that you can get it if you wait a little longer?"

Darius finally spoke, and his tone was much more impolite than Swain's.

But in fact, he was not targeting LeBlanc, but Vladimir who was on a mission.

If they could capture the magical realm where Bandle City was located, it would definitely be a great thing for Noxus, which would benefit both the present and the future. But the person who carried out the mission was Vladimir.

In Darius' opinion, he is the best candidate!

"The wizards have already made calculations in advance. If everything goes well, we would have been able to see the magical realm by now. But now, there is nothing."

"Vladimir's mission has clearly failed."

Darius sighed heavily: "Instead of continuing to hold on to this unrealistic fantasy, it is better to think carefully about what to do next. Noxus has paid a lot for this operation."

......

Vladimir's face had turned completely pale. The continuous use of blood magic had consumed too much of his energy. And the most important point was that in front of Varus, his blood magic, which he was so proud of, was completely useless.

Varus, on the other hand, showed no sign of being tired at all, and his offensive became even more fierce.

The shooting of energy arrows again and again was like a death note.

Vladimir was in complete despair.

Before accepting this mission, he was confident that this was just a very simple task. Even if there would be resistance, it would be useless in front of his blood magic.

But the reality dealt him a heavy blow.

He couldn't help but think of the argument he had with Darius before he set out.

In the eyes of this general who had won countless wars for Noxus, expanding territory was what he should do, instead of letting an outsider like himself interfere.

What did you say at that time?

Vladimir looked a little dazed, as if he had made some sarcastic remarks?

Vladimir was filled with regret at this moment. He should have given this mission to Darius!

The most prestigious general in Noxus could never do better than himself!

Oh no.

This guy is doomed to die.

I've used blood magic too frequently, and my mind is starting to get confused...

Vladimir suddenly felt an itch in his throat, and a liquid with a fishy smell instantly rushed up his throat.

Having tasted the blood of countless people, he naturally knew that this was the taste of blood.

A trace of confusion flashed in Vladimir's eyes, and then he lowered his head and looked at his chest in disbelief.

At a certain distance from the heart, there was a beam of energy emitting a faint golden light.

The intense pain made Vladimir's already deathly face even paler, and even his lips turned white.

He had lived for thousands of years or even longer, and he had experienced too many things, but he had never thought that he would die in such a place, at the hands of an unknown guy.
