Serious person, who is learning magic in Marvel?
79. Legion! Assemble! (5K)
There are ten million roads in the world, and some people will always choose the most difficult one.
Batman stood up silently. His figure skyrocketed, reaching an height of over three meters under the infinite height. The muscles all over his body swelled, and he looked like a little giant. But the handsomeness from Bruce Wayne did not diminish at all. He
His face is still as perfect as a marble sculpture - as long as you ignore his eyes.
Those dead and cold blue eyes destroyed all beauty. As he breathed, the temperature of this conference room was dropping rapidly, and it even started to freeze after a while.
"You'd better control it, my friend, otherwise this city will soon turn into an ice sculpture." He Shenyan's voice came from the darkness.
Batman looked closely and found that his figure had become distorted and thin. He had to concentrate very hard to fully see the mage's face, otherwise, his revealed image would just be a slender humanoid shadow.
.
"What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, it's just that the barrier of the world doesn't welcome me a little bit... Let's make a long story short. Crane Samples, or Bruce Wayne?"
Batman was silent for a while, then said: "Batman."
He Shenyan chuckled softly: "As expected...Okay, Batman. I think you should now know what kind of power I gave you, right? You can use this power to
Do whatever you want on this planet."
"Whether it's to act recklessly or to lead the people here on the right track. It's up to you. After all, no one can supervise any of your actions except yourself. How do you feel?" He said with a smile.
There was another long silence, as if he would not be able to speak without silence. Batman asked slowly: "...Aren't you worried?"
"What are you worried about?" He Shenyan asked.
Before Batman could say anything, he continued: "What do you want me to worry about? Your possible depravity, or your madness? I told you before, boy. I'm giving you more than just one
A gift is not just a gift. It is a source of disaster and a curse..."
"Some people will fall because of the curse. This is normal."
Batman seemed a little incomprehensible: "How can you give this kind of power to someone you don't trust?"
He Shenyan said calmly: "Who said I don't trust you?"
"There's a famous train problem, Batman, that I'm sure you've heard of."
"A train is approaching. There are two tracks in front of it. Ten people are tied to the left and one person is tied to the right. You have a joystick that controls lane change. What will you do?"
"Most people will choose to crush a few people to death, and a small number of people will crush those ten people to death for fun. But most people can't do it. They just watch the train derail and fall apart. The people on the car and the rails
All eleven people on board died. But you are different, Batman, you have proven it to me."
"You are the kind of person who is extremely rare. You are a madman or a fool. You will choose to jump off and block the train, even if the price is your body...Am I right?"
He Shenyan smiled intriguingly.
"...You are really a madman." Batman spat out these words through gritted teeth, and then waved his hand. The old and torn-to-rags uniform on his body were all frozen into ice slag, and then with a wipe, one piece
A brand new jet-black battle suit replaced him, appearing on his three-meter-tall body.
The black suit seemed to be exuding an endless chill, and the large cloak made of an unknown material shrouded his entire body. The bat helmet appeared on his face again, and He Shenyan heard him say:
"However, everything has its price. I don't believe you would really give this power to me casually."
"Of course, if I really give it to you for free, you probably won't agree, right?" The mage smiled, then waved his hand and sent his consciousness to another space.
"Go and talk to Him yourself. I'm too lazy to tell you the long and stinky history of the empire."
After saying these words, his originally indifferent figure completely disappeared.
----------------------------------------
A man pushed open Darius' tent and walked in. He was very tall, even a little too tall. He wore black iron plate armor that looked like a can, and even his face was covered tightly.
This person is none other than Darius's crony, Ben Faron.
And Darius didn't seem to have a problem with him coming in without saying hello.
He just asked calmly: "What's the matter?"
"General, the situation is not good."
Darius then raised his head from the map in front of him and asked, "What are you referring to?"
Farong took a step forward, pointed to the large plain outside the Immortal Fortress on the map and said: "I just received news that after the return of three legions, instead of directly entering the Immortal Fortress to report to General Swain, on the contrary, they
A silent gathering begins on the edge of the Immortal Fortress."
"Which three legions?"
"Blood Axe, Dog of War, Howling Wind."
A grin appeared on Darius's face, and the long and narrow scar on his right eye seemed to come alive as the muscles moved, and the war-torn face began to squirm. He said: "Write it down,
Faron. Send someone to inform General Swain...Today, three legions will be removed from Noxus."
"Also...please come to my place, General Thain."
"As commanded."
Not long after, Darius felt the ground begin to tremble. He knew that this was a sign that Thain had arrived. Sure enough, a huge figure opened his tent and walked in with his head lowered. This room was very spacious.
The tent became a little smaller due to his arrival.
Thane stroked his steel chin. He seemed to be more and more fond of this special chin made of the enemy's crown. Darius heard him ask: "What's the matter?"
"It's war, General."
Darius said in a deep voice, pointing to the map on the table, and began to tell Thane about the current situation: "...There are still many people in those legions who are Darkwill's cronies. Although he is in
After ascending to the throne, he was corrupted by power and turned into a waste. But before that, he was indeed a rare hero. There are not a few people in the empire who choose to follow him because of his military power."
Thain just listened patiently. He knew that he was not good at arranging troops, so why not leave these things to people who are good at it?
"Currently, it seems that three of the five legions that have returned first have clearly expressed the possibility of rebellion. They are Blood Axe, Dog of War, and Howling Wind. The remaining two legions have made no action - they
They neither sent anyone into the city nor joined forces with those people."
Thain's fingers tapped on his steel chin, making a crisp sound: "Ah... a wallflower."
He said with disgust: "Those who act according to the circumstances are more annoying than traitors. Who knows if they will ignore us because of other things in the future?"
Darius nodded, he naturally knew this truth very well.
But the current situation does not allow them to push the two legions against each other: "It is important to make them understand one thing, General, the authority of Noxus is unquestionable - even if the emperor is dead. We conquer
There is no possibility for the city-states and legions under its command to go out independently!"
"That's natural." Thane grinned. "So, Darius, what do you think?"
"Any opinions are welcome - throw me out as a vanguard, or you can attack from the front and I will cover from the flank... No matter which tactic is used, I can accept it."
What Thain meant in and out of his words was to compare himself with an army on an equal footing. However, neither he nor Darius felt there was anything wrong with this - Darius even said
This feels right.
Darius pondered for a while. The spies had not brought him back the sand table that had been surveyed and mapped. Now they could only use a map instead. There were no chess pieces for deduction, which was a lot of inconvenience. He had to use his fingers on the map.
A circle was drawn, which just encircled the entire Immortal Fortress.
"General, there are currently only two legions in the city, no, one and a half... General Swain's legion has been killed by Kronos in the previous operation." At this point.
, a wry smile appeared on Darius's face.
He continued: "The other one is my Trifari Legion... Our advantage lies in the large number of elites and vanguards. In terms of infantry warfare and anti-cavalry, we are number one in the empire."
Thain heard the voice of his words: "In other words, you don't have any cavalry?"
"Yes." Darius nodded. "Since the establishment of the Trifari Legion, they have been recruiting soldiers all the way. There are soldiers from all over the world. Some even come from Bilgewater. To be in such a legion,
It is too difficult to organize the cavalry internally."
"Very good, two legions, one of which doesn't have cavalry yet. So, what are you going to do?"
Darius took a deep breath, knowing that he could not live up to Thain's trust. He pointed to a plain area on the map not far from the Immortal Fortress and said: "If nothing else happens, they should be here.
The gathering is complete—although we don’t know what they plan to do next, we should attack first.”
"General Swain's army will stay in the city. The fortifications of the Immortal Fortress are very strong. They can't attack it alone. My Trifali army will leave the city and march towards the plains with you, general. We will serve as an auxiliary.
As a pioneer, we must penetrate all the way into their heartland."
"Operation decapitation?" The more Thain listened, the more familiar this tactic became - wasn't this the tactic I used most in the past? Take the people, rush in, and kill the boss on the opposite side... Yes, you
The boy has a great future!
He laughed and patted Darius on the shoulder. The force even caused him to stagger. After Darius stood firm, he said: "If you say it is a decapitation operation, there is actually nothing wrong with it."
.But I just don’t want the empire to bleed any more...The generals of the legions are cruel, but what’s wrong with their soldiers?"
"Just obeying orders..."
Thain straightened up, his face expressionless again. An inexplicable aura began to condense on him, and Darius suddenly felt a sudden change in his heart. The person standing there seemed to be no longer Thain, but
It's something else. Older, more distant.
Thain's face was completely hidden in the shadows. He was so tall that if he stood completely upright, the light source of the torch could not even illuminate his face.
The sound of steel clashing came from the darkness: "You are right... Darius, they are just soldiers. But they are not just soldiers, they are soldiers of Noxus and soldiers of humanity. Death
There is no point in dying at my hands, or at the hands of my kind. Their lives could have been dedicated to a higher cause."
"But now, I have to turn my sword against my compatriots." He raised his hand and clenched his fist fiercely. "...My ax should have struck the enemies of mankind, and it should have made them wail and scream.
Yes. But just because of some people's stupidity and selfish desires, so many good soldiers died..."
He laughed lowly, turned around and walked out of the camp, leaving only one sentence to Darius: "Let the war begin, soldier."
----------------------------------------
"Raise the gate!"
The soldiers on the city wall began to turn the hinges, and it took dozens of people to raise the gate of the Immortal Fortress. If the city does not enter from the port, it must be through this door. And if someone wants to try to break through the Immortal Fortress from the front... then
It's almost an impossible task.
The door rose and a huge figure came out.
He was carrying two giant axes. He was tall and strong and did not look like a human being. Instead, he looked like some kind of creature from myths and legends. He did not wear armor because there was no armor that could accommodate his body.
The chin that was shaped like a crown reflected the dazzling sunlight. The giant took a step forward without making any movement. Just standing there caused fear in the hearts of those who were watching him through telescopes not far away.
"How tall is he?"
"Oh my god, when did the Immortal Fortress have such a giant?"
"Whose general is that?"
Not long after, rows of soldiers wearing black armor formed a murderous battle formation behind him. A man who was taller than ordinary people but smaller than him walked out. He carried
With an axe, someone immediately recognized him through the telescope.
"It's Darius."
"So, that giant is another warrior he found somewhere?"
The whispers of these bugs did not reach their ears. Darius stood beside Thain and stared at the plain not far away. It looked peaceful there, but he knew that someone was definitely watching them there.
A ferocious smile appeared on Thain's face again. He raised the giant ax in his right hand and swung it down suddenly. Needless to say, the legion began to advance behind him. A silent tacit understanding actually made them feel connected by blood.
Although they have known each other as brothers and sisters for many years, this is the first time they truly feel connected to each other like this.
Darius was among them. He felt that his heart was beating faster and faster. The heartbeat like the sound of war drums spread from the chest to his ears through bone conduction. Thain was standing in front of him.
, a huge figure that covers the sky and the sun, causing the ground to tremble with every step it takes.
His footsteps gradually overlapped with the footsteps of the Trifali Legion, and one man's momentum merged with the Legion's momentum. Thain did not speak, did not roar, he just marched in silence, and behind him, the mighty
The black torrent followed his footsteps closely like a cloak.
They felt very good, and even felt that at this moment, standing together with each other, there was no enemy they could not defeat. But the people opposite them didn't think so.
The vanguard of the Blood Ax Legion, the Yaron Dog Cavalry were looking at each other while riding on the ferocious beast. From such a long distance, they could feel the tremor of the ground, and even the sky seemed to be darkened by it.
Especially the giant in the lead, who is he?
The cavalry captain stared at the giant's face with the telescope in his hand, and he began to feel his heart surge. For a moment, he felt that he was not looking at an enemy, but at a god.
An ancient god representing war.
He watched the giant and his legion getting closer and closer through the telescope, and the cavalry captain's teeth actually began to tremble - not because of fear, but because of excitement.
It's terrible... How could such a person exist? Is he really human? We... have to fight against such an opponent?
He retracted his binoculars and looked at the cavalry around him. Not to mention them, even the usually ferocious dragon dogs seemed to shrink at this time. A wry smile appeared on his face under his helmet.
It seems that the outcome of this war has been determined.
The silent march of the giant and his legion did not stop. They stopped about 500 meters away from the Blood Ax Dragon Dog Cavalry. The giant just raised his right hand, and his legion spontaneously stopped behind him.
.
They didn't speak or move, they just stood there, like ten million identical statues. The leading statue was the most terrifying, and his silent look looked like thunder that was about to fall in the next second.
"Captain, are we going to attack?"
After glancing at the guy who asked this question, the cavalry captain slowly shook his head: "Just shake your head and try."
The other party tried it in confusion.
"Do you feel anything?"
"There's nothing... Captain, what's wrong?" He still looked confused.
The cavalry captain sighed: "Damn it, idiot. Is your head on your neck just to make you taller? Or are you just doing it to look good? Do you think we can beat that giant?"
"You have to give it a try..." The latter was still unconvinced and muttered softly.
The cavalry captain said calmly: "We are the cavalry of the Blood Ax Legion, and we are also soldiers of Noxus... Boy, do you know what I mean?"
A minute later, Thane saw that the sub-dragon dog cavalry blocking their front moved out of the way.
