Chapter 20: The Iron Emperor Darius
When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shine into the valley, the whole world seems to have turned from the world into hell, it turns out that in the valley, under the cliff, there are countless blood-drenched corpses, scarlet blood water, connected into a sea of blood, like a furnace on earth, like a hell.

The soil of the valley road has long been reddish-brown, the blood cannot be coagulated, the haze above cannot be dispersed, and the occasional broken branches are hung with unrecognizable limb parts, and the sounds of fighting, shouting, swords and guns that were still full of this place not long ago have disappeared, but the silence at this time seems extremely hideous, everything is gone, everything.
At this moment, the entrance to the valley is as messy as a landslide, mottled with mud and rubble. Galen stood proudly with the Tempest Sword in his hand, and at his feet was a huge monster corpse, that corpse, stained with scarlet blood, and a huge wound on his back. The corpse's chin was cracked, doubling in size, and splitting its head in half as a result, but he was smiling slightly, raising his arms in a congratulatory gesture that he could never finish.
The whining wind in his ears, like a resentful spirit, tore at the decaying dead trees, "rustling". The sad cry of a few jackdaws on the eaves and cliffs seemed to tell everything that happened here, and the glow above the head did not seem to have the warmth of the past, but like the extradition bridge of Shura Purgatory, the broken flesh and wreckage, the scarlet was particularly dazzling, and the dead branches of the trunk were like the bones of a dead man's hand, hanging on the body, like two sharp swords, to pierce people's hearts, and the air was filled with the stench of corpses, mixed with the pungent smoke of gunpowder. The wind, unbridled, danced wildly around, as if it wanted to devour all the life it wanted to devour......
Darius leaned on the ground opposite Galen, panting heavily, his heart was dripping blood, the moment General Thein sacrificed himself to crash the stone wall, thousands of heavy infantry of the front army of Demacia blocked the valley mouth at the first time, although he personally led the army to charge more than a dozen times, but still could not break through the encirclement, the Demacian defense line composed of thousands of heavy armor soldiers seemed to be like a sky net, no matter how it was torn, it could not be torn. After a fierce battle, the Noxian sergeants who were still alive were only a hundred, and the thousands of ironclad cavalry led by Leo behind him were drawing their bows and arrows, aiming at themselves.
"Surrender, don't rush out, your general, you're dead." Leo's solemn voice echoed in the valley stream.
Hearing Leo's words, Darius only raised his eyes slightly: "The will to protect the country will not exceed a thousand years, and the heart of conquest will not rest until death!" ā
"The ants are still stealing life, you, why bother..."Leo sighed slightly, and then was silent, and only raised his arm for a long time: "Release the arrow......"
Raising his arms and bending the bow, when ten thousand arrows were fired together, a hoarse but cowardly voice sounded: "Wait! I...... I give up! ā
Leo was stunned for a moment, and looked at the source of the sound, only to see a Noxian general in battle armor, trembling and kneeling on the ground, muttering vaguely: "General...... I give up...... Don't kill me...... Checkmate! ā
"Alexandre! You coward! ā
Before Leo could speak, Darius immediately glared, his eyebrows rose one by one, and his face burst into bruises, and he pulled the general by the collar: "Alexandre!" You know what you're talking about! ā
The general named Alexandre was not afraid of Darius's questioning, pushed his hand away, raised a sallow face and shouted: "Darius, you are too presumptuous! ā
"Alexander, as the adjutant general of the advance army, are you worthy of General Sain and the thousands of Noxian soldiers who have died in battle!" Darius roared, his black stubble trembling and his whole body trembling, and his eyes sunken into his sockets, like a pair of beads, stared at Alexandre.
"Hmph, you don't come to button my hat high." Alexandre sneered, and the corner of his eye glanced lightly at Darius: "If people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." Darius, don't think that if you have the favor of Theon, you will be blinded, I tell you, my military rank is several levels higher than yours, and I am the highest commander here! ā
Darius was silent, his slender, dark face darkened, his eyes flashed with unquenchable rage, his nose widened with rage, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, and a deep wrinkle stretched from his biting lip to his jaw that protruded menacingly.
Seeing that Darius no longer spoke, Alexandre was even more proud, not caring at all that his kneeling body could only see Darius's navel, and after snorting coldly, he turned around and shouted at the ragged Noxian soldiers: "You all put down your weapons and kneel and beg with General Ben!" ā
The more than 100 Noxian soldiers looked at each other when they heard this, you look at me, I look at you, neither refuted nor put down their weapons.
Seeing that his subordinates didn't move, Alexandre suddenly felt that he couldn't hold his face, his face suddenly changed, and he scolded gloomily: "Are you trying to rebel?!" Duge Lao Tzu put down his weapon! ā
But what Alexandre didn't notice was that at the moment he turned his head, Darius had already picked up his battle axe......
"I'll give your grandma a mouthful!" (In memory of Ms. Zhao Lirong)
The tomahawk was unsheathed, a piece of brilliance flowed like nothing, the bones on Alexandre's skull were forcibly torn off, revealing the bloody red carotid artery, and the blood raised a three-foot-high blood mist, Alexander fell on the bright red blood pool of the valley stream, jokingly, he died at the hands of his own people, and with his remnants, he awakened the sonorous fighting spirit of Noxus.
The rest of the soldiers stared at Alexandre, who was in a different place, and their faces suddenly turned dead gray.
"He killed Alexandre......"
"He actually killed his own commander."
"yes, he killed him."
There was an uproar in the ranks of the soldiers, and you pushed me towards the cliff, and they all trembled and trembled, far away from Darius, for fear that the red-eyed man with the axe in front of him would kill himself on a whim.
"Everyone, be quiet, listen to me." Darius spat at Alexandre's corpse, opening his mouth with his teeth still chattering, and shouted: "Brethren, I, Darius, from a noble Noxian family, my father, General Dremucci, my mother, Masame Masalati, and seven thousand Noxian warriors, all died at Mogro Pass, and none of them surrendered, not one of them was captured. Why, because they have faith, indelible faith, brethren, we were born and raised in Noxus, and every inch of land we stand on under our feet is our land and our home. Brethren, I lie to you, surrender may be our only chance to live, but once we surrender, our homeland will fall and our relatives will be slaughtered. Brethren, do you want to lose your homeland? Do you want to be the wrath of the nation? Do you want the historical record of Noxus to be a cowardly city-state? Do you want your descendants to scold you for being greedy for life and afraid of death, and for stealing your life? ā
Darius's words encouraged the panicked soldiers, who straightened their chests and shouted in unison, "I don't want to!! ā
"Good! Since you don't want to, then, pick up the swords and guns in your hands, put on the armor on your body, and fight to the death for the sake of your relatives, for the country, and with the enemy! Brothers, listen to my commands, aim, the enemy flag, charge!! ā
"Kill!" "Kill! Kill! "Kill! Kill! Kill! ā
The earth shook violently, and a dull howl continued to be heard under the valley stream, and the whole valley was like a red-hot piece of iron, revealing a crimson brilliance......
