647 A.D., winter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the ten winter days, the snow blocked the windows, and the ice skates hung on the eaves like translucent crystal pillars. This winter, the ground was frozen and cracked, the small north wind blew like a knife, and the snow flew all over the sky. "Whew-whew-", the wind mixed with snowflakes whistling, the trees shook in the wind, and the branches were whipped in the air like a wild whip, and then they were smeared with a thick layer of silver by the snow.

The cold, piercing Demacia and spreading throughout Valoran.

Almost at the same time that King Gavin II received an attack on the border villages, most of the border towns of the city-states of Valoran were attacked by unknown forces, including Noxus, Demacia's nemesis.

"What? Are you going to make peace with Demacia? ”

In the Noxus Palace, King William III sat on the Golden Luan Palace, his hands clenched and smashed the dragon head of the dragon chair, his eyes were red, and he stared at Duke Kao like an angry lion staring at its prey.

Durkkao didn't care at all about the not-so-kind gaze from William III, but raised his eyelids slightly, and replied lightly: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

"Your Majesty is angry, and the minister's move is also for Noxus, for Your Majesty's sake."

"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say, I ask you...... Do you really think of me? ”

William III asked coldly, and the portrait of the old king hanging on the stone wall behind him shook uncontrollably with the wind, adding a touch of cold atmosphere to the already dead Jinluan Treasure Hall.

"I don't dare." Duke Kao replied unhurriedly, inadvertently glanced at the portrait of the old king, and then his eyes became gloomy and cold: "It's just that Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if His Majesty the 'first king' is alive, he will also approve of the minister's approach." ”

Duke Kao seemed to deliberately accentuate the tone of the word 'Former King', and the two words weighing as heavy as a thousand pounds drifted into the ears of William III, only to see his pupils shrink, his angular face twitched slightly with the trembling of his whole body, and his thick lips were also raised high because of jealousy and anger: "Du ...... Kekao, you ...... You, you. ”

The eunuch who was waiting beside him seemed to have never seen his master so angry, and he knelt on the ground with a stream of urine: "Your Majesty...... You are angry, Duke Kao is the general of Noxus, everything he does is for the good of His Majesty, Your Majesty must not be angry with the dragon body. ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. The eunuch's words made William III suddenly realize, yes, the person in front of him is the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, the general of Noxus, who has just ascended to the throne, and his foundation is unstable, so he must not tear his face with such a powerful minister.

Thinking about this verse, William III had to suppress the raging anger in his heart, and said in as calm and cordial tone as possible: "Alas, it's not that I don't want to make peace, it's just that ...... Aiqing, have you thought about it, Noxus killed tens of thousands of soldiers on the front line, and suing for peace at this time is tantamount to begging for surrender, I ...... If I do this, won't Noxus lose face? Moreover, the Debang army pressed the border, and they ...... Will they really stop and make peace? ”

For some reason, William III seemed to see Duke Kao and the eunuchs beside him look at each other, but they didn't.

"Your Majesty, you are too worried. The minister dared to assert that Demacia was no different from us, and even more desperate than we were in need of peace. ”

"Oh?" Hearing Durkkao's words, William III suddenly became interested, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Why did the general say this?" ”

"Because Demacia has also been attacked by unknown forces, and it seems to be even more serious than Noxus." Duke Kao replied with a blank face.

"What? Is this true? William III almost jumped up from the dragon chair in shock, staring at Duke Kao with a face full of disbelief, because in his heart, he had always thought that the forces that had had a holiday with Noxus in the past, such as Ioni and Abander City, planned and carried out this attack in order to retaliate, when he listened to Duke Kao's meaning, Demacia was also attacked by this force, then his previous judgment can be denied, after all, Demacia is famous for being good men and women in the Valoran continent, I believe that such a friendly country will not be attacked by other forces on its own initiative.

"It is true, Your Majesty, and besides, not only Demacia, but also other city-states and tribes of the Valoran continent, such as Ionia, Bandel, Freyjord, and even Bilgewater, which is thousands of miles away from us, have also been attacked."

Durkkao's words stunned William III, he opened his mouth, couldn't speak for a long time, and after a long while, he shook his head and said: "This is impossible, absolutely impossible." I don't believe that there is any country or tribe with such a powerful force, and even if there were, it would not be stupid enough to do so. ”

"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense, looking at the entire Valoran Continent, there is indeed no one who dares to be arrogant enough to openly make enemies of the entire Valoran forces." Duke Kao nodded in agreement.

"And you still have? ......" William III was just about to make a color, but he heard Durkao's calm voice float over: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought that if this attack was planned by an external force other than Valoran? ”

"Outside forces? What do you mean? William III looked at Durkkao, who was standing on his highness, suspiciously, but saw that he looked calm and confident. Could it be that the general already knows the mastermind of this incident? William III frowned and asked softly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Duke Kao nodded noncommittally.

"Who is it?" William III asked again.

"Baron Nash."

。。。。。。

"Woo ......" Captain William III, who returned to the dormitory, let out a sigh of relief, and fell in front of his dragon couch as if relieved. Although he was a king and the first person in Noxus, he was still suppressed by his powerful aura when facing Durkao. In fact, at the moment when Duke Kao tentatively mentioned the old king, William III almost had the urge to kill Duke Kao on the spot, but William III, who had eased up, secretly felt lucky, glad that he didn't do that at that time, he understood that even if the palace was turned upside down, I am afraid that he would not be able to find someone who could compete with Duke Kao, let alone kill him. However, a conversation with Duke Kao made him realize that what happened today was not necessarily all bad, at least the attack planned by Baron Nash for revenge seemed to him to be an opportunity, a perfect opportunity to get rid of a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. For Baron Nash, William III still knows more or less, he has heard his father and grandfather talk about the battle of the gods for more than a hundred years, and he understands that a monster that has been injured by the destroyer of the world, but can still survive and heal, is definitely capable of killing Durkkao.

"Your Majesty, wash your face and wipe your body." Gong E, who was waiting on the side, tiptoed to William III with a silver basin of incense towels for washing.

"Get out! Get out of here! Don't bother! ”

Frightened by William III's sudden roar, Gong E was so shocked that she accidentally dropped the silver basin in her hand to the ground, only to hear a crisp sound of 'ding', and the mountain spring water soaked in rose petals in the silver basin sprinkled on the bright floor of the dormitory like rain, and some slight water stains splashed on William III's body.

"You...... You dare to humiliate me! ”

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty. Gong E's face turned dead gray in an instant, and she knelt down in a hurry, not knowing whether it was the sound of her knees hitting the ground, or the sound of her heart like a charged engine due to excessive fright. Slaves and maids deserve to die, slaves and maids deserve to die, Your Majesty spare your lives, Your Majesty spare your lives. ”

William's liver-colored face returned to normal, but his gaze at Gong E seemed to flash a bit of a sadistic look.

"Silly boy, I know, you don't have a heart, go back." William III said calmly.

Gong E couldn't believe her ears a little, and only after a half-loud sound did she speak tremblingly: "Thank you...... Thank you, Your Majesty. Then, in shock, she shuddered to the door as if she were numb.

There was a soft sound of "poof", just when Gong E's right foot had just stepped through the jade steps in front of the dormitory gate, a sharp sword pierced her body from behind, she unconsciously let out a scream, her eyes widened incredibly, quietly, quietly looking at the blade that pierced her chest with bloody internal organs, and before she could say anything, her eyes were dark, and she carried it down.

"Phew, dog minion." William III glared at Gong E, who was lying in a pool of blood, and spat on her, and as he pulled out the saber that was inserted in Gong E's chest, the Gong E swallowed completely.

Scarlet blood slid on the almost transparent blade, and after Wilhelm III gently wiped the blood from the blade, he raised his head slightly, and under Toshiro's brow, there was a pair of poisonous eyes.

"Durkkao, one day, I will let you die by my sword, just like this!"
