It wasn't sunrise yet, and the sky was just a little overcast. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt was a wonderful moment. In the deep and pale sky, there were still a few stars scattered, the ground was pitch black, the sky was completely white, the weeds were trembling slightly, and everywhere was shrouded in mysterious light. A lark, as if united with the stars, sings in the sky, and the sky seems to be holding its breath to listen to the ode that this little life sings for the boundless universe.

To the east, the Temple Square Depression reflects the bronze-colored horizon and reveals its dark shadow. The dazzling Taibai Star was hanging above the Shang in the square, as if it was a soul flying out of this dark mountain field. The dawn gradually showed the colors of purple, blue, and green. The rising sun reveals its first rays. I've never seen this bright red so red, and I've never seen this bright red so fresh. In an instant, the fireball soared into the air, and the colorful glow was hidden in the gaze. The light and shadow have changed in a thousand ways, and after the space shoots down a hundred pillars of light, it suddenly darkens, and the entire Debang falls into a gloom.

"Look, what's that?" "An eclipse, a solar eclipse." "What is an eclipse?" Tengu Eclipse Day, there will be a disaster......"

The palace of Demacia, the ground paved with fine white jade shines with a warm light, there seems to be a curling mist shrouding the unreal palace in the distance, the phoenix on the cornices carved from sandalwood spreads its wings, the floating windows carved from green tiles and the jade wall panels, at the end of a straight road, a huge square slowly sinks with the jade steps, and a straight pillar on the huge altar in the center is carved with lifelike dragon patterns, which is far away from the phoenix on the palace......

The top of the red vermilion lacquer gate hangs a black gold silk nanmu plaque, and the dragon flies and the phoenix dances on it and inscribes three big characters 'Zichen Palace' Zichen Hall is the third hall in the imperial palace of the capital of Debang, it is the palace of the inner dynasty, the ministers meet the emperor here, called "entering the cabinet", the status is second to the outer dynasty of the south of the Han Yuan Hall and the Xuanzheng Hall of the Chang Dynasty, and its north is the Penglai Palace.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty. ”

In the Zichen Palace, King Jiawen II stood beside the Golden Luan Throne with his hands behind his back, and his long body was even taller with a purple dragon robe, and the noble sect did not dare to approach easily. The dragon with the clouds on his chest overlooking the world with his teeth and claws, just like the domineering spirit between his eyebrows, arrogant and unbeatable. It's just that who knows everything in his heart, and the height is cold.

"What?" King Gavin II turned around and looked at Zhao Xin with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the Temple Square is currently in eclipses, and the people are talking about the heavenly dog eating the sun, and there is a fear of natural disasters coming."

Hearing this, Jiawen II held the dragon chair with one hand, frowned slightly, and after a sudden half-sound, he slowly spoke: "Eclipse? ...... Could it be Baron Nash? ”

"Baron Nash? Isn't it in the Isle of Shadows? “

"Hehe... In fact, Baron Nash is a creature from ancient times, a koi fish that has been cultivated for 10,000 years to have the body of a half-dragon and half-snake. Speaking of it, I have to mention the war of the gods a hundred years ago. In that war, in order to prevent the destroyer from destroying the Valoran continent, the old man of time Kieran burned his godhead and asked the five great gods of the ancient times to help, but because of this, he also disrupted the order of time and space, and by mistake brought the koi fish that was about to leap over the dragon gate and incarnate into a divine dragon to the Valoran continent, and the koi fish was injured by the vitality of the destroyer's self-detonation, and had to flee to the Shadow Island to heal, and later he proclaimed himself Baron Nash, and conquered the birds and beasts on the island by force, making them respect it as king. The image of the eclipse today is the same as it was back then, I'm afraid it ......"

"......" Zhao Xin's face turned pale and froze in place, and then he swallowed two or three mouthfuls of saliva, as if his throat was dry.

"Presumably, the dragon's injuries have healed, and it seems that it won't be long before Valoran will set off a bloody storm."

"Your Majesty, how should we respond?"

"Ashin, prepare a decree for me!" Gavin II's gloomy face was like a frozen river, and his deep-locked eyebrows were like sharp blades across the tip of his nose: "Spread my word, order the great general Leo to command the dreadnought vanguard regiment and dragoon regiment, and immediately go to the front line of Mirda, and vow to defeat the Noxian army in one fell swoop!" ”

"No!" Zhao Xin bowed, then turned around and walked to the door of the main hall. Although he has many doubts in his heart, Zhao Xin, who was born in the military, has his professionalism, and he knows that he should ask questions and should not ask them.

"Wait, Ashin."

Zhao Xin turned around, and Jiawen II looked at him with a kind face, "Ashin, come back as soon as you finish the decree, I want to watch the Demacia Power Finals in the afternoon." ”

"Multi-...... Thank you, Your Majesty. Zhao Xin's heart twitched for a moment and lowered his head. Immediately after that, large tears fell involuntarily, and soon a small piece of the ground was wet. His heart was like a broken riverbed, slowly moistened by a trickle. It may take a lot of effort to move an ordinary person, but to move a slave who fights with his companions, fights with wild beasts for food, and who has been tormented like a walking corpse in a dark prison for ten years, one word, one look, is enough!

"Your Majesty, Zhao Xin swore an oath to the sky, swore allegiance to the Bright Shield Dynasty, and swore allegiance to Demacia!!"

The Leo family, the first family of Demacia in addition to the Aegis family, is located at the foot of Akina Mountain behind the Temple Square. Passing through the resplendent Temple Square and walking through the steep but spacious artificially mined mountain road, Zhao Xin arrived at his destination, a luxurious villa with its own courtyard.

"Stop, who are you?" The sword-wielding guard reached out to stop Zhao Xin and asked him about his identity and the reason for his visit. Zhao Xin handed his Grand Steward token to the guards, indicating that he had something important to ask to see Leo.

The guard looked at the token for a few seconds, then leaned over and half-knelt on the ground, "The lowly and ignorant master has arrived, and I hope that the lord will forgive me." ”

Zhao Xin smiled, helped the guard up, and asked, "I came to meet General Leo in Xiate, and I was sorry to report it." ”

"Wait a minute, sir." The guard nodded, and turned to walk towards the courtyard. After a while, he turned back and respectfully saluted Zhao Xin: "The general is invited, please come with me." ”

Under the guidance of the guards, Zhao Xin saw the layout of the villa clearly, the villa has three floors, because it is built against the mountain, so the scenery of each floor has its own merits. Entering the gate, there is a path paved with cobblestones, and on both sides of the path is a row of stone benches, on which are lined with bonsai of flowers and trees of various shapes, which is pleasing to the eye. The path turns to the left and there is a moon door, and when you enter the moon gate, you will find a staircase leading to the second floor of the villa.

"The general is in the hall on the second floor, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient, and the chief manager can go there by himself."

Zhao Xin thanked the guards, and then went straight up the stairs to a spacious living room, the interior decoration was elegant, and the magnificence was magnificent. At this time, the middle-aged man sitting on the tea table stood up and greeted Zhao Xin with a smile: "The master in charge is here, but it makes the humble house shine." ”

"The general is serious." The two of them sat down in the host and guest seats, and a servant had already served tea, Zhao Xin took a sip of tea, and carefully looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, with short silver hair, slanted and straight sword eyebrows, slender and long black eyes, thin and lightly pursed lips, angular outlines, slender and tall but not rough figure, like an eagle in the night. Cold and arrogant, lonely but arrogant, but domineering, he exudes a strong force that dominates the world in his independence.

"I don't know what the Lord Steward is doing this time?" After a brief pleasantry, General Leo asked with a smile.

"I have come to announce the decree by His Majesty's holy order." Zhao Xin took out the golden scroll from the brocade box and said softly, "General Leo takes the order." “

"The minister takes the order!"

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Wude Bang has always been based on loyalty and benevolence. However, Noxus, a reckless people, Naiqi's thief heart is not dead, repeatedly violates our borders, slaughters my people, and acts of beasts are clearly revealed. I learned from the pain, the upper should be the mandate of heaven, the lower is obedient to the people's will, the general Leo, Shu is cautious, diligent and supple, Yonghe is pure, gentle and good-natured, Kexian is the inner rule, and Shude is full of rules. Ordered him to take the Dreadnought Pioneer Regiment, the Dragoon Legion, and the Starry Night to the front line of Mirda, and be sure to inflict heavy damage on the enemy army. ”

"The minister receives the order, long live my king, long live, long live!" Leo took the decree and carefully rested it on the tea table.

"Lord Steward, why is Your Majesty so urgent to order me to lead my army to the front? Could it be that the battle situation is unfavorable? ”

"No, General, at present, the enemy and us are evenly matched, and the battle is deadlocked." Zhao Xin shook his head and frowned deeply, he didn't understand the intentions of Jiawen II, seeing that the fire of Baron Nash's revenge would soon harm Debang, it was indeed not a wise move to establish a strong enemy at this time and completely tear his face with Noxus.

"Does the general know Baron Nash?"

"Naturally, we know that in the sea of conquerors in the northwest of the Valoran continent, there is an island shrouded in darkness all year round, and it is rumored that this island is a mysterious region where dark magic and evil are combined, so there are tens of thousands of evil spirits and monsters rooted there, and Baron Nash is the lord who rules these evil spirits. Could it be that this matter has something to do with Baron Nash? ”

"Yes, General, in fact, this Baron Nash is not an evil spirit from Shadow Island, it comes from the ancient ......" Zhao Xin nodded, and told Leo what happened, hoping that the well-informed General Leo could give him some guidance.

"What do you think Your Majesty is doing?"

"Forgive my humble opinion, at this time, the biggest enemy of Debang is Baron Nash and not Noxus, if you rashly raise a national army to crusade against Noxus, it is really a strategy to destroy 10,000 enemies and lose 8,000 yourself, even if you win by luck, it must be a lose-lose, and then Baron Nash and hundreds of millions of evil spirits in Shadow Island will attack, how should we deal with it?"

"Lord Steward is reasonable" Leo nodded appreciatively, then changed his words and smiled indifferently: "But Lord Steward only knows one thing, and doesn't hear about the other." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Xin was stunned when he heard this, and when he saw that Leo seemed to have seen through the mystery in his tone, he suddenly became interested, and hurriedly asked, "General, how do you say this?" ”

Looking at Zhao Xin's slightly surprised face, General Leo just smiled slightly, and explained: "First, the target of Baron Nash's revenge is not only against Demacia, but the entire Valoran continent, in other words, it is not only Debang that needs to be guarded against Baron Nash's revenge, but all the city-states of Valoran, including Noxus. Second, the art of war: the fighter wins first, and the peacemaker decides second. If our state takes the lead in suing for peace, it will be hostile, and in the coming day, Noxus will intensify its invasion of our land and slaughter my people. Third, over the years, our German state has been mainly defended in a hundred battles, as the saying goes: those who are in a corner of peace will not last long, if they do not cut down, sit and wait to be killed. ”

After listening to Leo's guidance, Zhao Xin suddenly realized. It is no wonder that Govin II had such a decisive determination, which did not seem to be a wise move, but it was actually a blow to the cauldron and a holy move.

"Thank you General for your order, I am grateful."

"Why do you need to be so polite, since you and I are ministers of the same palace, you don't have to be so angry."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and before they knew it, General Leo left Zhao Xin for dinner, and Zhao Xinli remembered the instructions of Jiawen II, politely declined General Leo's kindness, and got up to say goodbye.

Soon after Zhao Xin left, General Leo gave a few orders to his servants, and then packed up and went to the barracks.
