"Absurd! As a bloody elite, he pays so much attention to appearance. It is a disgrace to Noxus!" A loud shout came from behind Talon, which made his blade tremble a little more.

Everyone knew that if the blade went any deeper, Caitlin would be doomed. Of course, Caitlin herself would not just stay there like this. Taking advantage of Tai Lung's distraction, she pushed Tai Lung's hand away and ran away.

But Tai Lung had no energy to care about her. At this moment, Tai Lung was no different than those young ladies who were caught by their fathers having trysts with wild boys. The calmness brought by his assassination career had been sucked into the toilet at this moment.

"Darius!" Valyard and Galen exclaimed at the same time.

None of them expected that Darius would appear here. Darius is the emperor of Noxus. As a majesty of a country, he has not been on the front line for a long time. If it weren't for Galen this time, he said

Maybe he will never leave the Immortal Fortress.

The emperor rarely traveled without a large army accompanying him.

However, even if Balliard expanded his shadow vision to the limit of precise observation, no trace of the Noxian army was found.

If the person coming was Swain, Ballyard might have to take a closer look. After all, that guy would do anything to achieve his goals.

According to Karl, Runeterra is a chessboard, and the leaders of the various forces in Runeterra are people who play chess. In addition to Balliard, the leader who is completely unqualified to play chess, there is also Swain, who can control the majority of Runeterra.

The forces treat me as the real chess player of their own chess pieces - they always hope that my methods can be fair, but what we are playing is not the same game.

"Your Majesty..." Tai Lung put away his blade and almost cut his hand.

When Darius appeared, Tyrone had already lost the chance to fight. He could allow himself to achieve his goal "for His Majesty" behind Darius's back, but he was not allowed to do so in front of Darius.

, because he knew that this was against Darius's will.

"Go back and reflect, and think about where you went wrong." Darius passed by Tyrone and walked toward Galen and the others.

"Yes..." Who knows what Tai Lung is feeling in his heart right now? As a bloody elite, his behavior of disobeying the emperor's orders was seen by him, and the reason was still the same - absurd.

He turned his back to Darius and quickly disappeared from sight in the yellow sands of Shurima. As an assassin, he needs to hide his whereabouts even if the assassination is successful and he retreats, let alone encounter such a major failure.

.

…

"I don't agree!" Galen rejected Darius's request. Talon's assassination of Lux made him very angry now.

"...I understand." What did Galen disagree with? Apart from Lux who was in a coma, only Darius could understand. After all, they were friends for many years.

Darius can confidently say to outsiders that not even Lux understands Galen as well as he does, and similarly, Galen understands Darius better than Draven.

Balliard watched Darius leave with his black cutter after being rejected by Galen. The unwillingness in his heart tried to react with the worry, trying to turn into courage to stop Darius.

However, a great fear overwhelmed the reluctance and worry with an overwhelming advantage. Among the many demigods in Runeterra, Baliard was the only one unwilling to meet Darius.

That

This kind of "guillotine" that cuts from head to end can end the life of the weak in an instant. For most strong people, it does not leave them long time to struggle. But for Balliard, who is immune to death, he suffered

For three days after the guillotine, he had to experience the pain of his body being cut apart.

Moreover, as these three days passed, when those remaining "wounds" were opened again by his own actions, the pain would become even stronger.

It is true that there will be no wounds on Valliard's body, but the pain is real. It won't just hurt just because there are no wounds. A person's nose will still hurt for a while after being punched.

"Boss Galen, I know you are angry about Talon's assassination of Lux, but the changes in the Freljord are related to the fate of the entire Runeterra. You can't act out of emotion!"

MD! If Galen didn't go, how could they possibly defeat the mutation! He had been fawning over Galen and the others from the beginning, and even offered himself up when Darius was about to attack Galen. This was not just to solve the problem.

Can we rely on Galen's great sword during a sudden change?

As long as Galen and the others are willing to set off, he doesn't have to follow Darius. Compared with Darius, an executioner who may throw him in front of the mutation anytime and anywhere to attract firepower and make full use of it, he is relatively more righteous.

Galen can make Valliard feel more at ease.

"I know." Galen trimmed the hair of Lux who was lying in his arms, "But Talon is a very powerful killer, and I can't take the risk of Lux being assassinated by him again."

Damn sister control! Give it your all! Baliard will drag Garen to Freljord no matter what, "I can protect Lux! I will not die, I can help Lux block the knife!"

(To the lovely Lux: Even if I help you block the knife, don’t fall in love with me, because - your brother will chop me!)

"If there is no need, I don't think the righteous Aloof Ranger will abandon those who cannot fight and let them die 'peacefully' in ignorance." The wound on Caitlin's neck has disappeared, and she has a tough body.

As long as the injury is not too serious, recovery is relatively quick.

"Indeed, Galen, tell me what you think. You are bound by honor and responsibility, and you cannot give up on those people." Illaoi is also waiting for Galen's answer. As long as Baliard does not understand what they are doing.

say what.

Could it be that Garen is planning not to go to Freljord?

"Let's go to the Freljord by ourselves! If Talon had not given up on assassinating Lux, with his ability, he could have easily escaped even from the prison in the deepest part of the Immortal Fortress," Galen hugged Lux ​​and walked towards the carriage.

He walked towards the position, his rune sword was slung on his back,

"Perhaps, we can also find other people on the road to solve the mutation together. With Darius's character, he certainly did not announce the crisis in Freljord. Time is running out, so let's get on the road."

Galen actually had such an idea! Balliard was indescribably happy, as this way he didn't have to go back to Darius at all, although Darius didn't seem to take him to heart at all.

Darius has never looked at Valliard since he arrived here, and even when he left, he ignored Valliard, basically ignoring this coward.

But this is just Baliard's personal thought... Maybe Darius does think so, but if Baliard still refuses to go back to Freljord when Galen does not intend to go,

Balliard, who never expected the worst of Darius, didn't think Darius would give him a guillotine... Well, really.

…

"Illaoi, you have been looking for changes. Have you met any warriors during that journey that you can go to the Freljord with?" Behind Baliard, Galen asked Illaoi.

He was truly worthy of being a general, and he easily became the leader of the team. And poor Balliard, the noble monarch of Shadow Island, was driving a carriage as a groom.

"I didn't find those guys. The great Ryze disappeared more than ten years ago. He was a dragon turtle wandering in Shurima. I haven't seen him as a resistance in Shurima in the past few years.

, and Nasus seems to be gone too.”

Illaoi counted them in detail bit by bit, describing their situation beyond the concept of "bad".

"I have also been to Mount Targon, where the stars no longer shine. Among the helpers I went looking for, the only one I met was the cunning Drizzt. He died in front of me, leaving only one

A yellow card."

Guys with high divinity and the ability to see destiny have all been poisoned? What kind of mission is this? Even Drizzt, that water rat, has been poisoned. If he didn't have enough confidence in his own ability to survive, Balliard would have thought

Exited this test.

"Are there no helpers?" Galen fed Lux ​​a bottle of red potion with a serious look on his face. Under normal circumstances, Darius would not come to see him, just like he would never come back anyway.

Same as Noxus.

However, Darius is here, which means that this mutation is so serious that even Swain, who was resisting the mutation in Freljord, has been defeated.

Galen dealt with Swain.

The proud army of Noxus would not accept a lame man, but he was appointed as a high-ranking officer like Galen. It was Galen's third appointment, and Swain's first time.

Being able to become a high-ranking officer is unacceptable to almost all Noxians.

But the facts proved that Swain did it and used facts to suppress everyone's dissatisfaction.

Swain was always able to calculate the battle situation very accurately. Not only that, he also firmly controlled the hearts of the nobles of Noxus. He was the one who brought down the original emperor of Noxus.

The most terrible thing is the miscalculations of those who have never miscalculated. Swain volunteered to resist the mutation. If he failed, it would mean that the situation was already so bad that it couldn't get any worse.

"Maybe there are helpers." Caitlin spoke. She never understood why Heimerdinger suddenly disappeared in Piltover. Now she understood, "Vi, she left Piltover with me. I'm going

After Shurima, she is in Valoran."

"It's hopeless. Darius has come to ask for help himself. We don't have time to look for the law enforcement officer anymore. We can only hope that we can meet someone who can help along the way."

Illaoi is a true person who can see through the soul. She can see the anxiety and urgency in Darius' soul. What's more, the guys who can really bring help should have been solved by the mutation, right?

She is still able to wander around Runeterra, perhaps because the god she believes in is powerful enough.
