The medical room of Noxus Prison.

A doctor and his assistant are busy. Under the shadow of the sterilized surgical lamp, a big man lay on the hospital bed. Svein, the leader of the Bloody Weeping Force, is in deteriorating health. On the display screen of the instrument, the data shows that Svein is in great pain. The old problem is sick, Svein's right leg is cysted and inflamed again, and his body temperature is a high fever. The doctor asked Svein about his condition, and Svein replied with a resolute look in his eyes. The doctor looked at the thermometer, and he almost suspected that the physical examination had gone wrong, and that people with high fevers were generally confused and distracted. The doctor asked other questions as usual, and Svein looked at the doctor in a way that made the doctor feel intimidated.

The latter question is about the combat aspect.

"Do you think you can still fight?"

"I'm ready to fight."

"Ahem, please sign this report."

The doctor handed over the medical form, his head bowed, his hands shaking. A normal physical examination report that does not ask the patient strange words. "Can you still fight?" was requested by the people in power above. Contrary to professional ethics and forced by the coercion of power, the doctor coughed lightly and gave Svein a hint. Those in power demanded that Svein take a stand, sign in a sick state, and say that "he can still fight".

Svein simply signed his name, like signing a life and death certificate.

The doctor was stunned, and when he looked up at Svein, he had closed his eyes and looked like he was resting.

"I'm sorry." The doctor apologized, "I won't disturb your rest." He exchanged a look with the gauntlet and quickly exited the room.

Noxus is going through a storm of power. Approaching the center of the storm can be breathless. When the doctor and the gauntlet handed over the report, the two of them were in a cold sweat.

A senior general took the report with a satisfied expression.

The general was a close confidant of Karen Darkwell. The heir to House Darkwell, young Karen takes control of Noxus City. Karen will succeed as the Grand General of Noxus and eliminate all differences in the form of a duel. Svein's physical condition is constantly monitored, and when the worst is true, Svein will be forced to duel Karen. In the way of a duel, it is proved that Karen is the first person in the city-state of Noxus, whether it is wise or brave.

Before that, Karen had proven his intelligence. Karen used a wonderful plan to capture the chief of the Minotaur tribe, Alista, alive. Alista was imprisoned as a slave gladiator to please the upper nobility of Noxus. The aristocrats were enjoying a visual feast of power struggles, and countless praises filled the Noxian city-states, and even Karen Darkwell was the strongest general in history.

Svein turned on the television, and the program reported on Karen Darkwell's feats. Svein looked at Karen, who was enjoying the praise, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes. Switched the show to Picheng, reporting "Harboring arms at Picheng port, maybe a war is coming?" Svi's eyes were slightly cloudy at this time.

Svein excels at underestimating the enemy. He always designs to make the other person despise him. When the mind is inflated, a person's ability is discounted. When the target's ability drops, everything that Svein has laid out will completely crush the opponent at the lowest cost. Last time, Svein made the prince of Demacia proud and underestimated the enemy, and as a result, the prince was captured alive.

This time, Svi repeated the trick for some reason, pretending to be sick. arranged an inside line by Karen's side, and then took the opportunity to propose a duel to settle the situation. Karen, who was on the cusp of praising public opinion, agreed to this suggestion after a little thought. As everyone knows, the battle to capture Alista alive was secretly arranged by Svein. Young people win a few battles, and they will always be fluttering, without exception. Except for one man, the retainer of the Duke Kao family who was on a spy mission in Phi City.

"Perhaps, an assassin should be sent to kill him."

The exposure of the arms deal in Pitt City forced Svein to think of a remedy. Passive thinking, it's been a long time since I've had this rhythm. When plans run afoul, Svein is used to putting things back to square one.

"Could it be that Duke Kao instructed that kid?"

Svein pondered for a moment, nodded, and shook his head again. From a normal point of view, the young man is inexperienced, and it is impossible to see through his old calculations. Svein was more convinced that it was Duke Kao who saw through his layout. Svein's gaze looked to the east—Ionia. Ionia's ninja master, I wonder what choice he will make? Svein firmly believes that the only path to peace in Valoran is world unity.

Two days later, Svein's medical report said that his health was worse and that he might not be able to do so at any time.

Karen Darkwell was determined to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Otherwise, once Svein passes, this opportunity will be lost. His staff also suggested that Svein had never been defeated in his life, and that as long as Karen defeated Svein, he would inherit all of Svein's glory - a higher height to trample on the head of a giant.

It is true that it is risky to control the overall situation of the city-state of Noxus and go it alone. But the honor gain of reward is too great compared to the risk. If Cassiopeia is by Karen's side, Karen will also ask Cassiopeia's opinion to be on the safe side. After all, Cassiopeia's mind is recognized as smart, and none of the staff officers around Karen can match it.

However, Cassiopeia and Sivir go to Nurima in search of treasure. Treasures are also in dire need, and there is not enough wealth to buy the hearts of those nobles. In Noxus, military prowess is worshipped for winning wars and being rewarded with wealth. The driving force of the war is nothing else, but wealth. Svein's honor is high because people follow Svein to fight, can win, can make a fortune...

A new day is coming, and the city-state of Noxus is destined to turn a new chapter in history on this day.

In the prison arena of Noxus, Karen Darkwell wears gleaming gold armor studded with red gold - his father's general's armor. Karen will follow in her father's footsteps with a new attitude, and continue to be the general of Xus. Amid the cheers of the people, among the roses thrown by the noble women, Karen made a grand appearance.

The opponent, Svein, dragged his slow pace and played in a disapproving boo.

Darius is armed with a great axe and acts as the elder brother of Warden Draven, who presides over the referee. And Draven was responsible for the security of the gladiatorial arena.

Darius read out the rules of the duel, "A united Noxus can rule the world, and today will be the day to bridge the divide." One of the two of you will survive!" Fiercely plunged the giant axe into the mud and sand, "Duel to the death!" Those who run away, those who lose the ability to fight, I will use it to cut off the heads of the losers. ”

Karen smiled, clearly not thinking he was going to fail, and joked, "Maybe today, we'll see what Svein looks like under his mask." ”

The audience responded, laughing, but Darius remained unmoved, grim-faced.

Karen shook her head and ignored Darius, who he didn't think had a sense of humor.

Karen drew her sword and said, "Are you ready, Svein?" "Cast a magic barrier, barrier magic, and an earth-colored transparent barrier enveloped him.

Knowing that Svein's life is short, he can easily win by competing in mana consumption.

Svein approached slowly with his crutches. Faltering, it looks like he's not here to fight, but to lead to death.

Karen stabbed with his sword, and the shadow elemental gathered and transformed into a giant long sword, stabbing into Svein's heart. Did Karen envision every step of the kill, to cut off the opposing leader? That kind of thing is too bloody, so I'd better leave it to Darius. Karen only needs to stab Svein in the heart with a sword.

Things turned out as Karen expected, and Svein didn't dodge, and was stabbed head-on by Karen's shadow swordplay.

It's so easy! Karen thought so. Seeing Svein being killed by a sword and bleeding from his heart, a big stone fell from Karen's heart. Karen prepares to pull the magic sword back, but is shocked to find that it is stuck by some kind of suction!

The raven screamed, and Svein turned into a giant raven, a giant raven made up of many small crows.

When Karen saw it, she felt a burst of thought in her mind, and a word came out of her heart, it was a miracle in the history of magic, and it was the ultimate immortal state that every magician yearns for - dark elementalization!

"Svein has already flown over?!"

Karen couldn't believe it in her heart, and all the pictures of his beautiful longing collapsed in an instant. Heads-up with a magician's ultimate gesture? Karen suddenly understands that she is a comically ignorant person.

Svein, in his crow state, controls the shadow ravens and assimilates Karen's magic. The Shadow Sword turned into nourishment, the little crows let out a cheerful cry, and the breath of feedback healed Svein's injuries, and the blood on his heart vanished. The little crows that grew larger pounced on Karen, biting the magic shield and piercing Karen's body with their claws and beaks, draining her of what was left of her magic.

In the stunned expressions of the audience, Karen collapsed weakly.

Svein dismantled his spell and returned to his human form, his eyes scanning the audience sharply. The hall fell silent, and Darius said loudly, "Winner, Svein!" The giant axe was raised, blood was splashed, and the defeated Karen was beheaded!

Svein is crowned the Great General, and Noxus City has changed dramatically! Svein has taken over everything the Darkwell family has had to offer, and its die-hard loyalists have been thoroughly purged!

Svein stood on the rampart and looked far to the east.

Darius stood beside him and said, "Looking in the direction of Ionia?" The first step in the expansion of the territory is finally about to begin. Only when the world is unified will war be eliminated permanently. ”

Svein's gaze was deep and elusive, and he said in a deep voice, "I intend to make a friendly visit to Ionia. ”

What the?! Friendly visit?

Darius looked surprised as he looked at his younger brother Draven on the other side, who shrugged inexplicably.

Svein: "The arms order we commissioned in Phi City has come to light. Countries speculate on the buyers of the arms. Noxus must not be suspected of turning the spearhead of public opinion to Demacia. Leather City is part of Demacia's camp, and it is only natural that it should produce arms for Demacia. They only worked with us privately once out of greed. ”

Darius: "Lai to Demacia?" And then what? ”

Svein: "Taking advantage of the Demacia assassination. Tyrone was able to kill Archbishop Demacia with the help of Soraka. We propose an alliance with Ionia against Demacia. Convince the Ionian higher-ups that Demacia will take revenge on Ionia. Ionian City can only fight against Demacia, Bandel, and Pi City if it is allied with Noxus City and Zaun City, and the three cities against the three cities. I'm the only one who can be a good lobbyist. ”

Darius smiled understandingly, after forming an alliance, the unsuspecting Ionia will be crushed by the blitzkrieg of Noxus!

A month ago, Ionia, the dojo of the Shinobi Master.

Master Shinobi trained his disciples as usual. He had four disciples: the eldest disciple and his own son Shen, the second disciple Zai, the third disciple Akali, and the fourth disciple Kenan. They teach the balance of magic and martial arts such as light, light, shadow, and lightning.

"Robbery! Come here! Reached! ”

The second disciple walked up to the master tremblingly, and with a "snap", the master hit the robbing hands with the ring ruler.

"That's it for today, you might as well be cautious! You're still not trying hard enough! ”

He was scolded and beaten again, and he looked at it carefully. In fact, Shen knows the inside story, and his father teaches Shen more tricks, and Shen masters the same magic better. Shen was a little sympathetic to the robbery, and cautiously persuaded his father, but his father blocked Shen's mouth with a sentence of "he is an outsider after all".

Zai is an orphan, who was carefully adopted and taught magic and martial arts, and has received great favors, no matter how much grievance he has suffered, he must be full of words. He didn't work hard enough, because Shen, Akali, and Kenan were called the three ninjas, and they went out on missions, and only they were still cultivating under the noses of the ninja master, and they didn't go out of the door.

The three ninjas are about to go on a mission again, and the ninja master gives the secret letter to the three ninjas. Akali, the female ninja with a ponytail, she glanced at the robbery sympathetically, in fact, the robbery was already very powerful, no worse than her, she didn't understand why the master was always very strict with the robbery, and he didn't let the robbery out of the task until today. The ponytail tightened, and it was Kenan of the yodeler who jumped up and tugged at it. Kennan gave him a look, signaling that it was time to leave.

Sannin's back disappeared into the envious gaze of Zai.

I really want to go on a mission with them. No matter how much you cultivate, it can't compare to actual combat. Perhaps, it is because of the lack of actual combat that he is a little cautious, although he is more cautious than he is cautious.

"When they're out on a mission, you're training twice as much."

Master Ninja gave the order to the robbery again, and the robbery could only be done again, burying the resentment in his heart.

After retiring the apprentices, Master Shinobi came to a secret room.

Master Shinobi came to check the seal of the secret room, and said to a box with a seal attached: "Is it loose again, you still don't give up, you've been impacting the seal, Duke Kao!" ”

The box sounded: "I didn't expect you to betray me." ”

Master Shinobi shook his head and said, "I made a choice. I think Svein is right, only if the world is unified will the threat of rune wars be eliminated. ”

The box said: "Starting a rune war is the destruction of the world!" ”

Master Ninja: "It's useless to talk too much, you who are obsessed with the past pattern will not understand." ”

The box was silent for a moment, then moved on to another topic: "There's one thing I really don't understand. Why do you treat a disciple like that, deliberately suppressing his growth, making him imitate Shen and imitate as much as he can, why? ”

Master Shinobi laughed and said, "You found out." Shen's soul blade needs to be infused with a soul. The true damage of the Soul Blade, the legendary Ionia's highest weapon-forging skill! ”

The box exclaimed: "Do you want to take the soul of the robbery to build the soul blade of Shen?!" ”

Master Ninja's eyes were full of excitement, and he said gloomily: "Not bad! That's why I'm so cautious and always a little bit worse! When Shen's soul is injected into Shen's soul blade, Shen needs to have enough power to suppress and use it, right? Of course, prudence is always better than robbery! The days are almost up, and when Shen returns from this mission, I will perform the soul ritual! ”

Box: "You——! You are not worthy to be a master at all, and you actually sacrificed the lives of your disciples! ”

Master Shinobi strengthened the seal, and the curse grew quieter and quieter until it was inaudible.

"My disciple, I don't need you to care about it."

Shinobi Master left the secret room.

In the box, sealed is the Eternal Nightmare Duke Kao. He came to Ionia and found Master Ninja, one of the leaders of the Revolutionary Army, who thought that Master Ninja would help him, but he didn't expect Master Ninja to choose to support Svein and use the sealing technique to seal Dukkao in a box.

However, Shinobi Master is unaware of Durkkao's ability to transform into a nightmare.

Nightmares can manipulate dreams, and Duke Kao is ready to use this ability to reach out to Catastrophe! He's going to tell him the truth, teach him another set of shadow magic, and let him escape from here until he has a strong enough rival force to return!

He had a dream in which a dark shadow showed him a new kind of shadow magic. Shadow magic of the shadows! Ionia does not reject shadow magic, and Akali, the younger sister of Ruzai, practiced shadow magic. Shadow Zhan's magic martial arts immediately attracted Zai, who felt that it was a sweet dream.

Kuroki tells him that he is sealed in a box in one of the ninja masters' secret rooms and needs to be rescued by him. The dark shadow points out the machinations of the ninja master, which makes the robbery frightened. The Black Shadow also tells Zai that Zai is in a very dangerous state and must escape from this temple as soon as possible to form his own forces. When the forces are strong enough, come back and uncover the truth.

Zheng will be suspicious of this, after all, Master Ninja has the grace of nurturing. But the dark shadow shows the ninja master's dreams—dreams built on the nightmares of the robes.

In the dream, Master Shinobi used a ritual to extract the soul of the Tribulation, threw it into Shen's sword, and forged a hand-me-down weapon with real damage. Shinobi laughed as he disappeared painfully in the torment of his soul.

"Ahh

He woke up from a dream, and the torture of his soul in the dream made him unbearable. He experimented with shadow magic, and a shadow avatar was summoned.

"It's true!"

The authenticity of the dream was confirmed, and for some of the authenticity, Zai thought that the words of the black shadow were pertinent, and he must have the power of self-preservation, and then he could be qualified to question the ninja master.

He escaped from the temple overnight to recruit wandering shadow mages. The Black Shadow's ability to spread dreams is a powerful support, allowing recruitees to quickly master shadow flow magic in their dreams. Soon, the raiders gathered a group of hundreds of shadow demon warriors and surrounded the temple.

The ninja master glanced at it, and the outside of the temple was black, full of fighters in dark ninja costumes.

Master Ninja said in his heart: "Duke Kao, you really have it, make such a formation!" It's a pity that you don't know my disciple. The answer he wants is here. Hey. ”

Master Shinobi shouted outside, "Robbery! I've got rid of your brothers and sisters! I just wanted to talk to you. Don't you want answers, if you have the guts, talk to me face to face! ”

The subordinates handed over the look of "don't go in alone", hesitated, and shook their heads, "I'll go in alone, you guys are on standby outside!" ”

Zai has self-confidence: he already has the strength to protect himself.
