Noxus City, the home of the Quekao family

As the first aristocratic family in Noxus today, the Quekao family's mansion, although decent, has not yet reached the point of luxury, and can only be described as solemn and solemn, to a large extent, it is more like a well-equipped military camp than a pleasure mansion.

The disappearance of Du Kecao, the head of the Kecao family, did not result in a situation where the entire family was left without a leader, and these ancient and wealthy families had a well-established family lineage, and the current patriarch of the Kecao family is the eldest daughter of Du Kecao, Caterina Kekao.

However, the men who held the military power had already left, and Caterina, after handing over most of the business to her uncle Leonardo Quekao, led her army to the Great Wall of Steel with the Noxian general Darius.

Therefore, the huge mansion inevitably looked a little empty, and Plinton was standing in the arena at this time, shirtless, struggling to slash a sword slave holding a steel shield.

His body was sweaty, and every sword had a hysterical power, and now he was old and decadent, and the spirit in his eyes was gone, leaving only numbness and exhaustion.

Bell –

The big shield was pierced by him, and the sword slave fell to the ground, not bothering to wipe the blood marks on his arm, and flattered: "My lord is mighty!"

Printon Kekao threw away the sword in his hand and shook his head, thinking to himself, how can he be half powerful now?

He came out of the martial arts arena and walked outside the mansion with groups of three or five sword fighting slaves.

Since that time in Ionia, after signing the order to fire the biochemical barrage that does not distinguish between friend and foe, he has resigned from all military positions, and has been at home at leisure, occasionally taking a few sword fighting slaves to visit the gladiatorial arena or the Fengyue venue, and has not touched the military and politics again.

He didn't dare to let himself live too well, that would make him feel uneasy.

He is a very brutal person, he can slaughter an entire town and thousands of lives without changing his face, or he can quietly plot a conspiracy to poison one party, he has participated in the training of the Scarlet Elite, and his training death rate is as high as seventy percent!

But on the battlefield, he never betrayed his comrades and subordinates.

It was his creed, and since that day, his creed has been broken, his spine broken, and his soul broken.

"Who?" Plinton suddenly opened his eyes, not because of his amazing perception, but because the person who came did not hide his existence at all, and the sword fighting slaves looked at each other, they couldn't see the existence of watching him in the dark.

Zhang Chao said expressionlessly: "You don't know me?"

"Your Majesty?" Printon Kerkao sighed with a wry smile, "I have known for a long time that there will be such a day, since the day you became the god of the stars. ”

"I've waited long enough. ”

Plimpton sighed: "It's okay, so it's a relief......"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhang Chao's mouth, and his hand had already stretched out like lightning.

Zhang Chao let go of his hand and grabbed the dead head in his hand.

"Do you think I'm going to talk nonsense with you?" Zhang Chao shook his head disdainfully, Princeton's soul was pinched out by him, he was reading the memories in it, and the sword slaves scattered in a hurry, everything was too weird for them, they didn't see anything, and the master's head fell, which almost scared their guts.

After a while, Zhang Chao sighed: "It's a pity that although you have done bad things, in the end, it is not all your responsibility." ”

In Princeton's memory, he saw a lot, including leading the Iron Cavalry to slaughter an entire village, planning a biochemical leak as a test of biochemical weapons, and all kinds of evil deeds, which can be called a loss of conscience.

Either way, he did anything to damage the country.

He's a bad guy, but he's not a bad guy either.

He was loyal to the country.

If the tragedy was inevitable, then the blame should not be attributed to anyone, not even Sinjid, who developed such a cruel weapon.

This is war.

Cruel.

Indifferent.

Ruthless.

Rightly or wrongly.

The anger in Zhang Chao's heart gradually subsided, replaced by helplessness and guilt.

He knew very well that everything Svein told him was right, and that Printon Darkwell had no shortage of condemnation and guilt in his heart when he made this decision—these were all in his soul, and Zhang Chao personally read it, and he couldn't fake it.

He began to realize that what he was doing was not right...... But so what?

Someone will have to bear the blame for this crime.

Otherwise, guilt will become a beast that consumes everything about him.

Zhang Chao sighed and threw Princeton's head to the ground, originally he wanted to take this thing back and sacrifice Nanyin and Crow with Ruiwen, but now he found that this was not a good sacrifice.

It's just a tool to shirk responsibility.

He should have thought everything through a long time ago.

————————

In the narrow mountain path, a group of thousands of foot soldiers marched lightly, marching like flying, and the standard-bearers followed closely behind a bright red figure, holding aloft the banner of Ionia.

The mountain road is not conducive to horses, but fortunately, the Ionian cavalry is also second-rate, which makes the combat effectiveness of this marching soldier not weakened, but because the Ionians are not familiar with positional warfare, they can exert more power in this kind of mountain forest.

Two orangutan-like void monsters suddenly rushed out of front of them, armed with huge swords, and suddenly appeared, slashing down at the bright red figure led by them.

However, I saw a sword light flicker, and four flying blades shot out, and the next moment, they were completely twisted into pieces, and the stinky blood was sprinkled on the snowy surface, gradually losing its temperature.

Irelia's footsteps did not stop in the slightest, and the flying blade returned to her feet, turning into the flying sword of the sword fairy in Chinese legends, carrying her quickly through the sky and flying towards the woodland.

The soldiers suppressed their voices and scattered, the whole operation was like a silent movie, without any orders, without any doubts, these soldiers mostly from the Ionian ninja sect and the martial arts hall were skilled in assassination, and soon, screams and fighting sounded in the woods.

At this time, Piltover's convoy was still suppressed in the woodland, and the strength of the Void Cultists was very strong, and the fact that Marzakha was one of them was enough to see the tip of the iceberg of their strength.

A gunshot rang out from time to time in the silent camp, and Catherine's sniper rifle was like a death alarm bell, each time it sounded, it was bound to take away a Void Cultist, but with the appearance of a legendary Void Cultist shooter, she had no strength left to suppress the rest of the Void Cultists.

The enemy is dark and I am clear.

Even Catherine, who is also a powerful legendary sniper, cannot reverse this fatal disadvantage, and being able to contain the opponent already shows how powerful it is.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the woodland, followed by a sword light flashing abruptly, and the next moment, countless trees fell, and a clear sword mark extended directly in front of the convoy, cutting through the heavy snow, revealing the withered yellow surface.

"Reinforcements have arrived?" exclaimed one of the Leather City soldiers.

Catherine reprimanded in a low voice, "Don't be careless, it may be a trick of the Void lackeys." ”

She slowly poked her head out, quickly glanced towards the direction she perceived, and then suddenly lowered her head again, the bright red figure when she found it just now, she couldn't see it really, everything was too fast, but the original feeling of being stuck in her throat disappeared.

It seems that the legendary archer of the Void Cultists must have left or ...... He's dead.

But she still didn't dare to look up, it wasn't her instigation, but the sniper was bound to be unable to charge forward like in the movie, what she needed to do was just like what any ADC needs to do, obscene, obscene, obscene!

——————————

Zhang Chao skipped the sky and flew towards the direction of the city defense of Freljord, he had to join Rui Wen first, and then there was a lot of things waiting for him.

A single Void Mothership can make the entire Alliance's armies exhausted, and this is only the tip of the iceberg of Void power, and there will be more intense and brutal wars waiting for the humans of Runeterra.

The catastrophe has struck, and whether it will sweep the world and bring about the destruction of the end depends on whether they can completely crush the Void invasion again.

Therefore, he must return to the Star God System to preside over the overall situation, and he must officially enter the upper echelons of the alliance and hold talks with those alliance bosses, in addition, the angels of the Eternal Continent are also the objects he wants to woo, it is a very powerful army, even stronger than all the armies in the entire Runeterras combined.

In addition, the Void Invasion is a matter for the entire Runeterra, and Shadow Island doesn't want to be left alone, those undead haven't joined the alliance yet, so he also has to actively promote this, after all, as long as there are dead people, there will be a steady stream of warriors, and those high-level undead are definitely experts in fighting a war of attrition.

As for personal affairs......

The old people in the Great Wall can see it first, and the others can only be slowed down.

The fall of the Void Carrier meant that the Void Invasion would be temporarily interrupted for a while, giving the Alliance forces a chance to breathe, but it also meant that the next wave of even more terrifying offensives was coming.

It won't be too short, but it's never too long.

Suddenly, Zhang Chao sensed a very familiar aura, and when he looked down again, a smile couldn't help but appear on his solemn face.

———————————

Irelia put away the heirloom sword, and the four flying blades hovered behind her back, converging all the qi.

By her side, three of the most powerful Legendary powerhouses of the Void Cultists had fallen, and the rest of the minions were rapidly being annihilated by the Ionian soldiers.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, she turned her head suddenly.

There is nothing there.

She sighed, and just as she was about to walk out of the woods to join Piltover's convoy, a hand suddenly took hold of her shoulder, and at the same time, a gentle, gentle male voice rang in her ears.

"The female general on the other side, I am from Earth and have come to the Runeterras to marry a woman named Irelia. ”

"Can you tell me where she is?"
