"I don't understand - Captain, our compatriots on the border are still bleeding, but we were transferred back to the capital?"

A soldier was leaning against the wall, with his arms crossed on his chest. The set of shining plate armor gleamed in the sun. The shield was carried behind his back, and the helmet was clamped to his waist. The anger on his face was genuine.

His captain, a woman with long braids, said calmly: "Put away your suspicion, Hayden. Follow the order."

She said this, but she knew better than anyone else how the majority of the people in her team were feeling at this time. It only took one glance to understand - they were transferred back to the capital from the border to become a leisurely patrolling soldier.

It doesn't sound bad, but considering that their compatriots are still fighting bloody battles, they can't be happy anyway.

They were standing at the side gate of Xiongdu. This gate was different from the majestic gate. It looked much smaller. The entire side gate was made of pure white stones.

The captain's eyes swept over the faces of everyone in her team, and she said slowly: "I know what you are all thinking, believe me, I have the same confusion as you. But we are soldiers, and soldiers must obey

Order. If the order tells us to kill Noxians, then we will go. But if the order tells us to come back and be patrol guards..."

"Then you'd better do your duty to me, do you understand?"

Her words were met with a feeble "understanding". The captain pursed his lips and suppressed his anger. She said nothing more.

In addition to going out on patrol, they are also responsible for standing guard. To be fair, this is a very boring job, and there is nothing to distract you. However, standing guard is a bit different for the soldier who made the noise earlier, Hayden.

Such fun.

He always likes to be alone, and standing guard is a period of time that allows him to be alone for a reasonable period of time. During this time, he does not need to talk to anyone or make any movements. He only needs to stand like a wooden man.

Just stay there, and the best thing is here - he is standing on top of the city wall, and people coming and going will not pay special attention to him, and they will not say hello to him.

Hayden stood upright with an expressionless face, looking like a silver-white statue. His eyes glanced aimlessly around in the gray-white sky of Demacia's capital, but a gradually approaching black spot attracted his attention.

of attention.

He frowned. Hayden was fishing for fish, but he would not leave behind his own job. He immediately came to the telescope in three steps and two steps at a time. It didn't matter if he didn't look at it, but this look made him confused.

Breaking into a cold sweat.

The black spot was not a dragon eagle or a ferocious and huge bird, but a living person - a huge, living person.

"——!" He cursed a Demacian slang, which means 'your mother is a pig in a pigsty', and then immediately blew the horn on his waist. The low and loud horn sound quickly gathered the soldiers around him.

came over. However, just when they had gathered their formation, destruction fell from the sky.

"boom!"

As the smoke and dust scattered, the ground began to shake. Hayden felt his ears ringing. He reluctantly stood up holding on to the city wall, and found that the side door had collapsed at some point. The huge door seemed to be in ruins at this time.

It fell to the ground like iron. Hayden stared at it blankly, and it returned its silent gaze.

It wasn't until a roar came that Hayden remembered what was going on now - he immediately let out a shrill cry from his throat: "Enemy attack!"

A deep voice came from below him: "Ah, have the Demacian soldiers become like this? Only now do you understand that this is an enemy attack?"

Hayden looked down and for a moment, he forgot his words.

What stood beneath him—was that a human being?

"What are you looking at, kid?" His voice came in a low voice with a smile, and then he waved the giant ax in his hand gently, and the city wall began to collapse. The giant was still not happy, he laughed and started to destroy Dema

West Asian city walls.

A kind of anger immediately surged into Hayden's heart, and he roared: "Stop!"

"How do you want me to stop?" the giant asked sarcastically while laughing and exercising his power of destruction.

This question also made Hayden, who had just become excited, calm down. This enemy was obviously not something he could defeat - but the question was, where were the patrolling soldiers? Didn't they just gather? Hayden turned back and looked down.

Go, the blood all over his body is frozen together as if it were solid ice.

They are all dead.

People were piled on top of each other, and corpses were piled next to corpses. Some were buried under the rubble, and some fell on the ground. Some were still screaming in pain, and some were already dead.

"You-monster!"

Hayden roared, jumped down from the city wall, jumped onto the tall giant, and then swung his sword to pierce his neck. Unexpectedly, the giant didn't hide at all, and he didn't even bother to pay attention to Hayden.

.It turns out that he really doesn’t need to pay attention to Hayden.

The sharp long sword made of Demacian steel broke immediately without even leaving a white spot on the giant's skin. The reaction force caused his tiger's mouth to crack and blood flowed out. Immediately afterwards, a huge stream of

The force threw Hayden away. Before he died, the last words he heard were: "You are brave."

Yes, the attacker was none other than Thane.

But the question is, how did he get here?

The answer is simple but also crazy - trebuchet.

When Thane said this idea, he got dozens of confused faces. The senior Noxian generals gathered in the camp had no idea what he meant until Thane repeated it.

Only then did I understand.

Then came overwhelming opposition.

Thain listened to the reasons for their objections one by one, but they were all similar. Either 'This is too dangerous', or 'You must not be so reckless'. Words like these, when Thain is still alive... No, not before he has

The first death made his ears tingle. At that time, his staff also advised him the same way.

Thain has never heard of it once. Otherwise, I think a normal person would not be able to lead his troops to the enemy's hinterland to kill the opponent's king.

So, he didn't listen this time.

He just said lightly that I had made up my mind, and then sat in the masterpiece of engineering that was arranged near the capital of Demacia. The invention of the trebuchet was simply great and impeccable in Thain's opinion.

If only he had such a treasure at that time.

Maybe there would be no need to kill so many soldiers every time he attacked the city - in short, he ignored everyone's advice, and as soon as he came to the front line, he found a trebuchet and airdropped himself into the enemy's capital.

Crazy, right?

But he is Thane.

the other side.

Gu Yu

"General, I just received the news... General Thain threw himself, uh." Farong was rarely at a loss for words. He tried to organize his words: "He, he threw himself into Demacia.

People’s hometown.”

"What did you say?"

Darius looked at Farong incomprehensibly. He understood the meaning of every word Farong said, but he couldn't understand it together. Farong had to repeat it again, and then Darius

Si closed his eyes in pain.

He murmured to himself: "Lord Cronus... I should really listen to your advice and watch him..."

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

"You guys really made this place nice."

He Shenyan and Kronos were walking on the streets of the Immortal Fortress. This was also the first time Kronos had gone out for sightseeing in so many days. In the past, due to his body shape, let alone going out on the street, even

When you step out of the military camp, you will soon be surrounded by people.

"It's all their own efforts."

Kronos did not lie. Indeed, the current changes in the Immortal Fortress are all the work of the Noxians themselves. After Darkwill died and the political group was shuffled, the position of the current Imperial Emperor became vacant.

Although people didn't say it explicitly, it was already acquiesced that the leaders were Swain and Darius.

As for Thane, his existence has been concealed - without him, the dead are resurrected and become more powerful. If there is no good explanation for this kind of thing, it will easily cause a religious frenzy in the country. And now Nuo

Texas happens to be a time when one deeply hates all beliefs.

Although the former Immortal Fortress was majestic, the bloated fortress-like buildings inevitably spawned many small underground settlements. As the saying goes, there is another city beneath the Immortal Fortress, and this is true. Where they are

The location was actually the original Immortal Fortress. With a little bit of expansion and high-rise buildings, they gradually became the lowest level existence.

However, there are no residents there now.

After the pollution arrived and was eliminated, there was no trace of the past in the entire city. Not only the emperor, but also the residents disappeared. The only proof that this pollution once existed is perhaps the hanging

There was a living statue on the outer wall of the palace tower. Thinking of her, Cronus smiled happily.

He had to admit that for those most disgusting Slaanesh bastards, depriving them of the ability to feel all pleasure was undoubtedly the most appropriate end.

"Then has set off, and is a little closer to the goal of unifying the world." Kronos said this. He carefully turned his body sideways to prevent himself from touching the old woman walking towards him. The pollution was lifted.

Later, many people from other nearby cities also came to the Immortal Fortress. This place is now a hot land and is in need of help. It is the time when manpower is needed.

Moreover, who doesn’t want to settle in the capital of their country?

He Shenyan shrugged noncommittally, reached out and took an apple from a vendor's stall, and threw a gold coin into his money bag. While chewing the apple, he said inarticulately: "I

I hope this day comes soon, to be honest...everyone else I found has already started working."

"Other...people?" Kronos tried to organize his words: "You mean...?"

"Yes, other Primarchs, new Primarchs." He Shenyan turned to look at him and grinned.

"Well, let me do the math. A sullen man with a pout who looks like everyone owes him money, a brilliant super boy scout, and an extremist who hates crime extremely." The mage said frivolously. "How about it, I'll pick someone.

Isn’t your vision pretty good?”

A wry smile appeared on Kronos's face. In his opinion, mages are good at everything, but they just like to make such...very blasphemous jokes. He even felt that this person dared to even make jokes about the emperor more than once.

open.

"Why are you showing that expression?"

"I just feel...your description is a little inappropriate."

"When you meet them, you will find that everything I said is true."

"Just a slight exaggeration?"

He Shenyan looked at the stubborn stone with surprised eyes and suddenly laughed: "I thought your sense of humor had disappeared, but now it seems that you do have a talent for telling cold jokes, my friend.

.”

Cronus didn't dare to tell him that he was where he was today thanks to him.

The mage's mouth... is not very easy to describe.

They continued to wander on the street, and He Shenyan suddenly said: "Oh, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"What's wrong?"

"You may encounter some trouble in Shurima." He Shenyan touched his chin and said cautiously and conservatively: "Well, they have...a local Astartes, called

They are the ascended ones. Although there are only two of them at present, there is no guarantee that you will suffer some hardship there."

Kronos frowned: "Very valuable news, but if they are smart people, they will not choose to resist to the end."

"Maybe. Sometimes, smart people are the most stubborn." The mage took out an orange from nowhere. He seemed to be very greedy recently: "If you ask me, it's better to plan for the best or the worst. They just came from

To be freed from the situation of national subjugation and genocide - and it is best not to pass this year."

"Why?"

"Remember the void?"

Kronos' scalp tingled slightly, and he thought of those damn alien creatures again, the blasphemous purple light and their greedy sight... A cold anger immediately filled his chest.

Ronos said coldly: "They have united with the void?"

"No, I'm afraid you underestimate them too much." He Shenyan smiled. "In fact, on the contrary, the Shurima people are busy cleaning up the mess for the world. Although this matter is almost their own fault.

That’s all.”

He continued: "I made an agreement with them that I will return to Shurima in one year and help them get rid of those damn bugs."

"But, I remember, didn't you destroy their nest?"

Kronos said puzzledly. He still remembered how the mage destroyed a plane with a single movement. That kind of power would make him feel frightened every time he recalled it. But when he thought that the mage was on their side,

You will feel extremely at ease again.

"The centipede is dead but not stiff, Cronus." He Shenyan said calmly, staring at the scene not far away. There was a group of children kicking a ball on the street.

When Kronos looked back, He Shenyan had disappeared. The place where the black-robed mage originally stood was now only filled with air and sunlight, and a vague word echoed in his ears: "Things will never go your way.

Go in the direction you want, Kronos."
