Black clouds covered the entire sky from the horizon. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Black-Armored Legion of Noxus stretched out from the end of the horizon, densely packed together in a black oppression. It's like a black tide of steel.

They stood in line beyond the range of their crossbows, and the huge shields of the heavy infantry fell to the ground with a uniform "bell" sound.

Reginad ran swiftly along the ramparts, scanning the military formation outside.

Good visibility.

There are no blind spots for firepower. And also......

There are more Noxian troops seen by sight than the intelligence shown by reconnaissance!

The formation parted, and a small group of horsemen galloped out of the army, led by the horsemen holding the banner of Nobon, the great axe and the poisonous skull forming a very fierce pattern, and the skeletal face of the flag was twisted in the wind, and it looked more and more hideous.

They stopped a dozen paces outside the city walls, and their faces could almost be seen from the walls, and the man at the head, with a pale complexion and a blood-red cloak, stood out from the ranks of the legions, and his imposing spirit was high-

It was Vladimir, who had fought with him.

"Looks like they're coming for me." The white-robed mage smiled.

"Probably a trap." Shen pondered for a moment and said.

"Don't worry, their generals are looking forward to a showdown with me, and they won't let me die easily."

"But do you remember the assassination last night?" Li Qing frowned, and his worried look wrinkled the flat blindfold. "Noxus is absolutely impossible to infer with common sense."

The white-robed mage shrugged. "Then I'll have to try my luck. Ionia is a civilized country after all, and although the negotiations under the city will not be of any practical significance at all, at least it will have to be a good one. ”

He jumped down the steps behind the wall, saving him half of the effort to descend the stairs. This brisk movement is really suitable for his age. This guy should have laughed and played with his peers all day long, and he had no heart, lungs and no worries, but he was entangled in official duties, so he wanted to try to restrain himself and be that old senior councilor.

The soldiers guarding the outer gate lifted down the huge latch and opened the wooden gate on the outer side, which was built in a hurry, so it was not designed as an iron gate like the original Presidium Wall, and could not be easily breached by rams.

Therefore, when he left the city, Noxus must have discovered this fatal problem.

However, the wood also has his tailor-made protective enchantment, and Noxus will not be able to defeat it easily.

Even the strongest walls have their own weaknesses, and what Reginad has to do is to use this weakness to attract the attack of the Noxian Legion.

He walked out of the city gate alone.

Kalmar had wanted to go out of the city with him to meet the "negotiators" of Noxus on behalf of the city-state.

But he was rejected by Reginald: "I can't guarantee that when I turn around and go back to the city, I won't be put down by someone's cold arrow." Even if I am shot by plot, Ionia must have someone in charge of the overall situation, and once the city is abandoned and surrendered, the result is only a dead end. ”

The moment Reginald stepped out of the wall, he knew he was in a dangerous situation, even though he told everyone that even if he was attacked, he would not be easily killed with his magic skills.

But......

Before leaving the city, he leaned in the shadows behind the city gate for a long time, and the intermittent pain finally subsided, and Reginard cast a spell to relieve the pain.

This spell has been familiar to him for a long time in recent times.

In the black and oppressive military array in the distance, I don't know how many eyes with murderous intent bit his body, as if there were poisonous snakes and reptiles in those eyes, crawling up his body, making him feel uncomfortable all over his body.

He knew he was in the bad habit of being reckless.

He also knew that this was not good, he was not at all like a lone hero. But every big thing can't get rid of this problem, and when I encounter things, I still like to plan and execute by myself, and finally take the risk by myself.

Reginard didn't show any discomfort, just smiled calmly and walked towards the Noxus horse team in front of him.

Before the two sides could make contact, he turned his head and squinted at the wall behind him, the edge of the arrows was slightly exposed in the shadows behind the battlements, and he didn't know how many bows were aimed at the Noxian horse team in front of him—a distance that the archers of Sun Hunter would definitely be able to penetrate in a hundred steps.

Before leaving, of course, he did not forget to explain to the archers: "The leader of the Noxian delegation is the mysterious bloodmancer, if I am in any danger, shoot him and those cavalrymen with arrows, and then immediately close the gate, do not think about saving me." I don't suffer a loss by exchanging a dozen of them for a dozen. ”

He took a deep breath, the subtle movements of his nose that didn't attract anyone's attention.

Vladimir, sitting on horseback, looked like he was on top of the sky, almost looking at people through his nostrils.

"I bring General Du Quecao's ultimatum that if Ionia opens its doors to become a province of the Great Noxian Empire, the General promises that the Ionians will be spared from slaughter and war, and I hope you will seriously consider it. No one can stop the iron cavalry of Noxus, whether it is the so-called technological weapons or the barbarian beasts that advocate force, they have never resisted the power of Noxus' army! The vampire sneered, "By the way, the legendary mage Reginard, it's really fitting and comfortable to look down on you from such an angle." ”

"I accept your terms."

Reginald's answer stunned Vladimir for a moment, and then, as if he understood something, he laughed darkly. I didn't expect this legendary mage to be just a mortal person.

No, after all, nothing can escape the fate of bowing to power, it's just that some guys just like to struggle twice.

Reginard continued, "Of course, I have one condition. ”

"Boom," the vampire smirked, "does the legendary mage have anything to ask me for Noxus?" ”

Reginad smiled faintly, "Tell the general that if the general falls on his sword and sacrifices his head, I, Reginald, will give up this city." ”

"You ......"

"Please bring this to the Shogun as it is, but I'm curious to see how his face will look when he hears this." Reginald's smile was faint, but the edge was faintly revealed, and the momentum was not weak at all.

"Good. Very good. The vampire laughed as well, that was the answer he had hoped for, yes, exactly what Lord Svein had guessed......

Regardless of whether the city of Presidium, which will never fall, will be breached, and who will die in this war, he will be the real victor.

Svein.

From now on, Noxus will surely change the dynasty.

"Wait a minute." Reginald closed his eyes slightly, and the smile on his face deepened.

Vladimir's horse suddenly stood up and fell into a frenzy, and no matter how much the soldiers around him pulled the reins, the horse neighed, slamming the vampire on his back to the ground, and then disappeared.

Reginad deliberately lowered his head and looked at the embarrassed Vladimir.

"Now, feng shui takes turns."

He heard loud laughter and cheers coming from the high wall behind him, and smiled politely at the vampire, turning back to the tall barrier.

"You...... You'll pay the price, Reginald! The sound of Vladimir gritting his teeth came from behind him.

He stepped into the city gates as if he were back between the broad arms of a giant. He heard the heavy door slam shut behind him, as if to shut everything out.

-- I hope so.
