The soldiers fighting him only felt ridiculous.

How could there be such an enemy? His armor cannot be damaged by sword blades, and any slashes hitting it will be bounced away. His strength is even unimaginable, and his agility has not been reduced by half. His physical strength is also indescribable. After all, he still has the time to teach us how to defeat him in a very physical thing like close combat?

"Put away your contempt! You monster!" A soldier left the battle formation full of hatred, holding a long sword in both hands, and slashed towards his leg. However, there was not even a bit of white on the armor. There were no marks, but his long sword had been completely broken, his hands were trembling, the tiger's mouth was cracked, and blood was flowing.

Cronus turned around and said softly to him despite the attack: "I am not despising you, brave warrior. On the contrary, I commend you for your devotion to duty and your courage to swing your sword at me. You are qualified. Warriors have noble and unyielding souls. But since we are enemies——"

The first thing the soldier felt was fear. Such a terrifying giant turned its head to face you. There was no emotion in those two scarlet dots. His voice was the same, with an inorganic coldness. But he said His words were full of affirmation, and unconsciously, his trembling body calmed down.

"W-who are you?"

"The person who wants to kill you."

Kronos waved his sword and took away this life. He made a silent wish in his heart, and even begged the Emperor to look at this place and take away these respectable souls so that they could stand beside the Lord of Mankind.

On the hills not far away, Swain felt a wave of hot blood surge through his veins.

He is no longer young, but his thirst for battle has never diminished. From this point of view, he is an outlier among the Noxian nobles.

Yes, Jericho Swain is a noble. He is a noble among nobles. He was born into the family of the founding fathers of Noxus. Moreover, during the rise to power of the current emperor of the empire, Brown Darkwill, He played a key role. It seems that he was born to be among the privileged ones.

But Swain is different from them, even different from his own parents.

While his parents and other nobles were trumpeting that their noble bloodline was the country's greatest strength, Swain was busy honing his fighting skills and overall perspective. And it didn't take long for the ambitions of the nobles to start. They formed a secret society and planned to overthrow the emperor who they had personally promoted.

After careful consideration, Swain, who believed that their actions would bring immeasurable losses to the empire, chose to report to Darkwill - don't get me wrong, his actions were not to advance himself further, nor to escape. It's because he feels that only in this way can Noxus preserve its strength and go further.

Swain, who was successful in exposing the case, received a reward: he could have chosen money, an official position in the Immortal Fortress, the capital of Noxus, or a title, but he chose to come to the army in person to hone himself.

With a military career of nearly twenty years and nearly a hundred wars, large and small, Swain understood one thing deeply: the strength of Noxus was not due to the noble blood advocated by his parents, but because of unity.

Noxus can unite everyone.

Fishermen, woodcutter, farmers, merchants, soldiers, nobles... Your identity is meaningless. What you can do for the empire is meaningful. And to do this, you must make those false kings

All dead.

The soldier who had been following him closely noticed his emotions and quickly stopped him: "Sir, you must not go into battle to kill the enemy like before - that man is absolutely extraordinary!"

"I know...I know, I just don't want to give in. Lantel, how nice would it be if he were a Noxian?"

Swain's excitement did not last long, and he quickly forced himself to calm down. He asked: "How long will it take for our dear general to arrive on the battlefield? Facing such an enemy, sending more soldiers up is just a matter of death.

."

"My lord, his cage is on its way."

"very good."

Swain nodded and said nothing.

----------------------------------------

The soldier driving the car was covered in cold sweat, and the huge thing behind him was constantly roaring inarticulately, nothing more than short words like blood, death, and battle. He, no, maybe should call it that.

Thane.

He was locked in a cage made of fine steel. Even though the cage was reinforced with magic, it could not withstand Thain's violent impact. The horses of this carriage were two dragon lizards, and they were exhausted

Only by running with all his strength can he move Thain's huge body.

There was actually quite a bit of criticism within Noxus about resurrecting Sion, and many people were furious, thinking it was an insult to the hero's glory. But the contemporary emperor Darkwill was unmoved.

The staff of the "Black Rose Society" used special blood magic to bring the general back from death, and he gained more violent power than before.

But everything has a price, and the price Thain was forced to pay was his sanity.

As long as he walks out of the cage, he will make no distinction between friend and foe. He will kill both enemies and friendly troops together, and the huge ax in his hand will cut them all in half without mercy. Because of this incident, Noxus

A demonstration against the mage almost broke out in the country, but it was quickly suppressed.

Who is Thane?

He has superior force, but no strategy. But there is no need for strategy. His force and huge body are enough to destroy anything in front of him. He is the hero of Noxus, a man who has been famous for more than a hundred years.

A figure who had died before. When he died, Noxus held a state funeral, and he was buried under a monument built specifically for him in the Immortal Fortress.

His story is familiar even to the children of Noxus.

More than a hundred years ago, Noxus' territory was far less vast than it is today. In a place called Valdis, Thane faced the empire's greatest enemy: Demacia with his undying rage.

Both sides suffered numerous casualties, but Thane's determination and force were superior to the Demacians. He marched forward, breaking through the Demacian lines, looking for their leader, King Jarvan I. Although his own battle

The regiment kept pace with him, but there were too many Demacians to hold back. His cronies fell one after another, and in the end, he was the only one left.

Thane fought a bloody path.

He fought alone, with more than ten swords in his body, and even more than twenty crossbow arrows. Finally, he broke through the defense line of Demacia and came to the front of Jarvan I. The battle was extremely bloody, and in the end, Jarvan I won

Already. Thane's physical strength had long been exhausted, and the King of Demacia's long sword pierced Thain's chest.

His great ax fell to the ground, but Thane refused to die. He mustered up his last strength and tore the crown from the king's head with one hand, and grabbed his throat with the other. Jarvan's Guards

They stabbed randomly with the weapons in their hands, but his hand did not relax at all.

It wasn't until Jarvan died that Thane allowed death to take him away.

You may think this is a legend, but even the Demacians who hate Thane to the core will not say that this story is made up. They will admit it and then angrily call Thain a monster. This is why they

The only good thing in Noxian eyes: honesty.

But after he was brought back from death by the blasphemous blood magic of those mages... he lost his mind. When he was alive, Thane would never kill his own soldiers, and all his violence was reserved for

He treated his enemies as if they were his own family.

Those damn mages...

The soldier shuddered, and his thoughts were interrupted by Thane's roar.

----------------------------------------

Kronos had to admit that he was starting to feel a little bored.

Not to these respectable soldiers, but to the commander.

That general obviously knew that his soldiers couldn't stop me, but he didn't give the order to retreat... Is his face more important than the lives of these people?

Perhaps the only reason that prompted him not to kill all these people immediately was his own principles.

Looking back, there was no mercy in the movements of Astartes' hands. The soldiers who surrounded him, and now seemed to be surrounded by him, began to regard being killed by him as an honor.

Many of them even looked at him with reverence, which made Kronos very uncomfortable. He knew that these soldiers from Noxus were naturally martial, but he didn't expect that they actually worshiped the strong and even worshiped the strong.

To the point...it reminded him of something bad.

The land under his feet has long been stained red with blood. After the war, this land will become a fertile soil that can grow excellent food. Long swords, shields, spears, and corpses are scattered on the ground. Screams and war cries are endless.

, but Cronus suddenly stopped what he was doing. He turned his head and stared at the general.

There was an abnormal flush on the man's face, and his right hand was firmly pressed on the sword at his waist, as if he was trying hard to suppress something. Noticing Cronus's gaze, he grinned, and actually

Riding on the horse, he bowed his head and saluted.

Your respect is worthless to me, coward. Either come up and fight me, or withdraw your soldiers and send an opponent who can truly rival me...

Before Kronos could say these words, his eyes were attracted by a huge creature.

The thing was even taller than him. It was locked in a cage and transported by a carriage driven by two dragon lizards. The battle formation was opened to make room for it. The giant thing in the cage roared,

The skin is colorless and full of stitching marks. There is a huge furnace on his waist, which looks extremely terrifying.

Just looking at him, Kronos couldn't help but smile.

Finally, a worthy opponent.

He stamped his feet so hard that the surrounding soldiers could hardly stand, and then closed the chain sword. He said: "Go back, soldiers. I admit you, but continuing to die in the face of an impossible opponent is called

Stupid. Your life should be left in a more useful place instead of wasting it here just to win my approval."

Those soldiers actually began to obey his orders and slowly retreated. The soldiers in the sword and shield phalanx and the spear phalanx supported each other and quickly left. However, there were only a dozen or so warg cavalry left with hateful expressions.

She looked at him with respectful eyes and passed by him.

Kronos nodded: In the age of cold weapons, being able to have such a will to fight would not retreat even if the casualty ratio reaches an exaggerated level... Your Majesty, please let the battle group discover me quickly.

location!

He just waited there.

On the other hand, Swain did not blame the retreating soldiers. In fact, he had wanted to issue such an order for a long time. But as a commander, he had to consider the victory of the war. If they wanted to have a chance of winning,

, he had to drag him with his life until Thain arrived. Thinking of this, his disgust for the mages became even deeper.

Damn trash, if they hadn't been late, those teleportation spells could have come in handy! Instead of me sending my soldiers to die!

With a simple gesture, the soldiers dispersed, and a magic key was handed into his hand. Thain's cage was carried out of the giant carriage by twenty people, facing the soldier's

Direction. He was unusually quiet at this moment. A trace of uneasiness flashed through Swain's heart, but the war would not give him so much time to think.

Yes, this is a war.

One...for them all.

He opened the key, and the magic on the cage quickly lost its effectiveness. As if he felt something, Thain actually opened the door and walked out. This violent, irrational beast said in an undead manner

The human words came out: "Bring... my... giant ax... here!"

Five people quickly carried his ax over, full of respect and a desire to die. Because Thane usually killed anyone who came close to him as soon as he got the axe. But today, he didn't.

Instead, he put the ax on his shoulder. He neither roared nor roared. He walked quietly down the hill. Jarvan I's crown was made into his chin. At this time, the enemy's crown stood out clearly on his face.

It looks ferocious on the outside.

Cronus watched his slowly approaching figure, took off his helmet on his own initiative, and threw it back. Facing such a warrior...such an opponent, he must treat him with full etiquette.

.

"Kronos Tiberius. Captain of the 1st Battle Company of the Ultramarines Legion, Emperor's Sword Chapter, salutes you." He gestured with an eagle salute, and then held the chain sword at his waist.

, started it.

Heavy footsteps were accompanied by the roar of the chain sword. The giant beast was even half taller than Kronos. He came dozens of meters in front of Kronos, and his red eyes seemed to have recovered a little.

With normal sense, he said inarticulately: "Shan! The hand of Noxus!"

"I remember."

Swain, who was not far away, was filled with shock: Thain had lost his mind and soul. This was something everyone in the empire knew, but why...why did he act like he was facing this warrior?

Has he regained his sanity? Has the soul of the hero returned?

Not to mention his reaction, the Gein battle has already begun.

How powerful is Thane? His first blow was ineffective. The giant ax hit the ground, and blood and stumps flew up, mixed with broken blades flying freely in the air. The giant shouted inarticulately.

With: "Blood! Battle! Victory! Glory!"

Every time he shouted a word, the power of the next blow became stronger. But none of them hit the Astartes. On the contrary, the passion in Kronos' heart to face a powerful enemy was quickly turning into sorrow and sadness.

Angry. The mage had just told him that this noble warrior was pulled up by someone using blasphemous spells. Although he miraculously regained some sanity, he was actually already a corpse.

When Astarte asked if this was of his own free will, He Shenyan simply said lightly: "His incomplete mind is full of pain."

Then Kronos understood that this was a respectable enemy, but not a respectable man like the fearless elders who was willing to continue fighting for the empire with his broken body - he might be willing, but his country took care of itself.

Bring him back from death!

Unforgivable!

Kronos finally swung his chain sword. Thain's bones and skin were obviously reinforced by dark magic. The chain sword struck his right arm, but it didn't break it in two. On the contrary, it got stuck.

In the gap between the bones. But Thain felt no pain at all. He continued to shout: "Fight!"

Then he swung the giant axe. Cronus raised his left hand, and his five fingers were accurately stuck on the blade of his axe. Then he slowly exerted resistance, making Thain unable to swing the giant axe. At this time,

At the same time, he withdrew the chain sword and inflicted a secondary kill on his right arm.

This is the benefit of the chain sword - but in fact, few enemies can see this benefit.

Thain is one of them.

He felt no physical pain, but the pain in his heart was increasing every moment. The giant trembled, swung his giant ax, and fought with the Astartes in a desperate struggle, constantly shouting: "Fight!"

Glory! Death!”

"I!"

He shouted, and used a powerful and heavy swing to drive back Kronos. The three golden nails on Astartes' forehead reflected the light, and he suddenly realized that it was almost dawn.

Kronos asked: "You want to fight and die with honor, don't you?"

Thain became even more excited: "I...can't feel...the pain! Here!" He hammered his chest with all his strength, and scarlet liquid like fire burst out from his eyes: "But! Here! Okay.

pain!"

Kronos gritted his teeth.

Oh, Emperor. If you are watching me, please grant me strength, courage, and will. Please let me kill this venerable soul with my own hands, and please let his pain-stricken and tormented soul be reborn beside you.

, let him be my brother, let him fight for a country that will not betray him...

Cronus Tiberius, for the first time in his life, sincerely prayed for his enemies.
