"how do I say this?"

He Shenyan became interested and looked like he wanted to hear big news, while the man glared at him.

"Didn't anyone tell you that it is very impolite to inquire about someone else's past that they don't want to mention?" he said.

He Shenyan answered him seriously, even sarcastically: "We usually call this black history. It seems you are a little behind the times."

The man smiled and shook his head: "The development of entertainment in the peaceful world is always the fastest... Such valuable things do not exist in my world."

"So, are you really a god? I mean, the all-knowing and all-powerful kind?"

"Do you think I am like that?" the man asked. "If I am really omniscient and omnipotent, then in my world, those abominations have been eliminated long ago. Human beings can develop civilization and civilization freely and happily.

With technology, there is no need to worry about any external enemies.”

"Even if you are not, it's not much different." The mage shook his head, and he began to speak with absolute rationality and a mage's perspective: "You can cross countless worlds and come to me purely as a soul. Even influence

The natural laws of this planet, and your paranoia about humans are very much in line with the concepts of the gods."

"All gods have strange paranoia in some aspects, and you fit this point. Not to mention the 'miracles' you have sent down. Forgive me for the title. However, I can't think of a better title for the time being."

"miracle?"

The man laughed and asked, "You call that a miracle?"

He Shenyan asked: "Isn't it? His soul has been taken away long ago, and even the remaining fragments have been crushed by the low-level magic of his own country's mages. Even his body will be destroyed soon. You

Although I can do this, it will never be so easy."

The man raised a finger and said: "First of all, I want to correct you a little. What I did was not easy."

He raised his second finger calmly: "Second, that is not a miracle. What really brought him back from death was his own will. If he refuses, then there is nothing I can do to bring him back."

It was he who refused the peaceful sleep that was as sweet as honey to the dead, and was willing to wake up again. The pain this caused to the soul... was no less than dying a thousand times."

"Maybe, maybe it's what you said." He Shenyan was noncommittal, and he mentioned another thing: "But you can't deny one thing - gods often do things based on their own preferences, and they will

Doing many actions that are incomprehensible to mortals. Including what you did, resurrecting a human from another dimension without asking for anything in return. Isn't this a miracle?"

"You are very stubborn and want to prove that I am a god... This is very interesting. We will talk about it later."

The man continued: "However, you are wrong when you say that I don't ask for anything in return. I have already received my reward."

"oh?"

He smiled lightly and said: "He can live, that is my reward."

The mage looked at him and was speechless for a moment - Am I meeting the Holy Father or something? He looked ordinary just now, but now he looks so glorious...

...It's like hell.

real world.

The Noxians left - their retreat was as fast as their attack. As a vanguard, Swain's army did not bring many people. In fact, the main force of Noxus was fighting against Demar on the frontal battlefield.

The West Asians are engaged in a tug-of-war.

Kronos picked up his helmet, wiped the blood on it, and put it on again. His heart was at peace at this time, and the depression that he originally felt due to being in other dimensions was relieved a lot. At least, he was not

Didn't give up on myself.

This incident greatly encouraged him.

Astartes felt even more motivated when he thought about the other task he had given him, but now was not the time, he had to wait a little longer.

Not long after, the mage came out of a portal and came to him. His face looked disgusting, and Kronos asked: "Why do you have such an expression?"

He Shenyan glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "What mission did your emperor give you?"

Kronos didn't seem to be hiding anything. He said bluntly: "Stop their meaningless internal fighting."

"I knew...conquering the world, right? Can you do it alone?"

"No, it's not to conquer the world, I just don't want them to continue to shed unnecessary blood. Moreover, I have the help of another brother."

"You got a brother so soon?"

"Yes, and you have met him too. It is that Thane. He has received the grace of the Emperor and has become my brother."

It's really a good calculation.

He knew that the emperor was not so kind, and spent all his efforts to come to another world simply to save a human being who had nothing to do with him. Thane did not believe in him at all, although the mage also knew that the emperor himself might

It doesn't matter if he believes in himself or not - as long as Thane is human, that's enough.

However, He Shenyan himself was also surprised by his own reaction. For some reason, while he was not surprised by the emperor's behavior, he also didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did - human life should not be wasted on

Internal fighting.

Recalling that ordinary face, He Shenyan suddenly laughed. Cronus asked doubtfully: "Why are you laughing? He has indeed become my brother..."

"No, no, Cronus, I'm not laughing at you." He Shenyan shook his head and interrupted him. "I'm laughing at myself."

He opened his right hand, and there was a small glass bottle lying on it, with a rotating prism-shaped golden fragment inside. After looking at the bottle, the mage raised his head again, and he said to Cronus: "He

The Emperor of Mankind indeed."

He does not ask for anything in return, nor does he require you to believe in him - as long as you are a human being, he is willing to help you.

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

Swain and Thain were sitting in the same tent. However, compared to Thain's height, this tent actually seemed a bit short. But at this time, the two people sitting in the tent did not care about this.

.

"Has the empire become like this?" Thain said, holding the information in his hand: "If your information is true, then the current emperor is really an out-and-out fool."

"Perhaps he cannot be blamed, my lord. Although he himself has lost his ambition, a mortal cannot resist the evil spell from the Pale Lady."

Pale lady.

Thain tapped his fingers on the table, and he muttered the name thoughtfully.

In the early days of the Noxian Empire, this name began to spread among a few upper-class nobles. This mysterious pale lady was the leader of the Black Rose Order, and this mysterious order has been secretly absorbing people for hundreds of years.

Various dignitaries joined them.

What are they going to do? Thane doesn't know, but Thain knows what they can do.

damn it......

"Did she give the order to resurrect me?"

"I can be sure of this, sir." Swain nodded in affirmation. "Not only that, she is causing the empire's troops to be greatly consumed. Originally, we should not be so eager to expand outward. Our main elites are all on the frontal battlefield.

There was a tug of war with the Demacia people, but she controlled the puppet emperor... and issued dozens of stupid orders."

"tell me the story."

"Expansion, never-ending expansion. Many of our soldiers often just finish the last war and will be sent to participate in the next one. Although they don't care about it and even think it is part of the glory, it is very important to the empire.

It’s meaningless.”

Thane snorted coldly: "Damn mage, playing with witchcraft and conspiracy... Noxus is definitely not a toy in her hands!"

He asked: "When can we return to the Empire?"

"If we go by water, it will take seven days - who let you in?"

Swain turned his head and looked at the three mages who were wearing black robes with only their chins exposed. He couldn't even tell whether they were male or female. He asked calmly.

"Hello, Chief Swain." The leading mage bowed to him, his voice soft and slow, with a certain charm that was breathtaking: "I apologize to you for our lateness."

"No need, the war is over, we have failed. The main responsibility belongs to me, and I will confess my guilt to His Majesty the Emperor myself." Swain said stiffly.

The leading mage turned to Thain, and he said with admiration: "You actually survived, this is really——"

Before he could finish speaking, Thane grabbed his head and slowly applied pressure. The giant's expression was gloomy and terrifying: "What spell are you trying to cast on me?"

The remaining two mages immediately stretched out their hands, and energy gathered in their palms. A sharp look appeared on Swain's face. His hand had been on the short knife at his waist since the three people came in, and now it was even more intense.

He simply threw it out and hit one of them in the chest. The blood stained the black cloth. He fell to the ground and soon lost his breath.

Swain didn't give the remaining man a chance to breathe, he immediately pounced on him and broke his neck.

"Answer the question, what spell were you trying to cast on me just now?" Thane said in a low voice.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" The mage screamed with a frightened expression. Thain loosened his fingers slightly to allow him to breathe. The mage immediately said a lot of words like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

"I apologize, General! I apologize! Please don't kill me. I'm very useful. I can-ah!"

Thain stretched out his left hand and easily twisted his right arm into a skewed angle. Amid his screams, Thain showed a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense, what spell were you trying to cast on me just now?"

"Spirit...mind control."

Swain took back his short sword and was not surprised when he heard this answer - in the past, when Thane was sent to the battlefield, it meant that he needed to have the final say. But when they won, someone had to drive the beast back to the cage.

Here, these mages were the ones who drove him back to the cage.

Unfortunately, Thane is no longer a beast.

Thain closed his five fingers. Blood burst out in the palm of his hand, but the giant didn't pay attention to it. He stood up slowly and came outside the tent. As expected, the soldiers had fallen to the ground, with no trace of life.

Danger.

"wake up!"

Thain let out a deafening roar, and the soldiers suddenly woke up from their coma. Seeing his majestic body, they quickly stood up one by one.

Swain stood behind him, knowing that the general must have something to say.

"Soldiers - look at me."

Thane tore off the shoulder armor from his right shoulder and threw it on the ground. He raised his hands and asked slowly: "Why did you join the army of Noxus?"

The soldiers looked at each other, and soon the first man spoke: "My hometown was conquered, but no civilians died, only the damn king died. So I joined you."

"Three generations of my family have been in the military, sir, and this is also my choice."

"To gain status!"

"I like the feeling of killing!"

They talked at once, revealing their true feelings in front of Thane, in front of this incarnation of Noxus. Some people's purpose was very lofty - they said that they were to make Noxus

Some people are very honest about their desires, and they are here to make achievements.

Thain put down his hand and motioned for them to be quiet. The effect was immediate.

He said slowly: "Do you know why I joined the army?"

No one answered.

So he continued: "A hundred years ago - when Noxus was first established, we had an ancient tradition. A martial culture. A true Noxian would never

Take half a step back on the battlefield, and when the time comes to die, he will die gloriously."

"And I made this oath in the name of my ancestors. I guess you all know what happened next. Yes, I strangled that bastard Jarvan I to death. If it happened again, I would do the same thing again.

"

There was laughter from the crowd.

"Going back to the original question, why did I join the army? It's very simple. At that time, Runeterra was not as peaceful as it is now, and the territory of Noxus was far from as large as it is today. There were wars everywhere, everywhere.

People are dying. I joined the army with only one goal: to reduce the number of deaths in my country."

"Yes, that's all."

"Unlike you, I don't do it to unify the world, or to make achievements, or because I like the feeling of killing people, or because my fathers all joined the army. In fact, my father is just a farmer."

"He died very early, during an enemy attack."

Thain's face was very calm, but no one dared to make any more noise.

He continued: "I saw that many of you died today - but they were all good! They faced that soldier and fought to the death until I arrived. I also know that you are very confused.

, why should we retreat."

"Now, let me tell you why."

"Because they didn't have to die!"

Thane waved his hands angrily: "Don't tell me what kind of glorious death this is! Yes, it is indeed an honorable thing to be killed by him. But he didn't want to do it at first, and you actually don't have to do it at all.

Death! There is no point in dying by his hands!"

"Do you know who sent you to die?"

"Do you know who opened my tomb, pulled my broken body out of the coffin, and used blasphemous witchcraft to bring me back from death?"

"Do you know who made me lose my mind and turn into a beast that can't distinguish between ourselves and the enemy? I was even locked in a cage?"

Thain did not continue speaking. The soldiers had already surrounded him and stood in front of him in a huge sea of ​​people. He stared at them, full of sorrow: "Even I will be plotted by them, and even treated as a piece of cake."

Items are treated like a beast, let alone you?"

"This is absolutely not Noxus' original intention!"

He never said who did such a thing, but turned around and returned to the tent. Swain stretched out his hand to calm down the soldiers who started discussing in a very loud voice.

He stood where Thain had been standing before and said, "What General Thain said is true."

His first words caused the storm that had subsided to rise again, even more intensely. Compared to Thain, Swain had been with them for many years. Under his command, this group of soldiers had achieved many victories, so

His admission was crucial and caused the most violent reaction.

"I must sadly admit this, my brothers. Although we treat each other as brothers, except for my useless commander, there are no distinctions in military ranks in our army - this is our tradition

, because once you go to the battlefield, only brothers are trustworthy, and only brothers are worthy of your trust."

"I brought this unit up to now. It consists of various battle groups, dragon lizard cavalry, warg cavalry, sword and shield, and spear phalanx. We are often sent as the vanguard, so the casualties are the highest, but I am gratified.

Yes, you are all good, there has never been a deserter in my army."

"Moreover, this is also the first time I have issued a retreat order."

He took off his helmet, bowed deeply, bent over and lowered his head and said: "I apologize for this - I have brought shame on your reputation of never retreating and fighting to the death."

Ignoring the soldiers' obstruction, he straightened up and continued: "The reason is simple. That giant didn't have to be our enemy - think about it, what is our purpose?"

Someone shouted loudly in the crowd: "Kill those false kings! Overthrow their thrones! Let those ignorant people stand up!"

"Yes, but does Ionia have a king?"

Swain's words caused them to fall into silence,

"Ionia has no king, my brothers. They were alive and well before we came. Although we did not kill any Ionians, but... if the giant had not

Are you stopping us?"

"I think you all know the outcome."

"In that case, we will really become the murderous maniacs who wantonly expand and start wars among the Demacia population, but we are not - tell me, my brothers, have we killed a civilian in the past twenty years?

"

"No!" they replied in unison.

"But Ionia doesn't have an army either." Swain said calmly.
