Chapter 3: The Battle of Fate
In the lush jungle, a red shadow is shuttling rapidly, and every jump will gently step on the branches to borrow strength, but it will not let the leaves on the tree be shaken down, just like a red butterfly hovering leisurely among the flowers. It's just that this red woman is not a weak butterfly, but a killer bee that kills people without blinking! Caterina, the premier Assassin of Noxus, is one of the few female warriors who can take her place in Noxus.
In the midst of the shadowy jungle, Karina feels as if she has returned to her own back garden, with a very steady rhythm with every jump and advance, making people think that this jungle was specially designed for Katarina. In fact, it was on the edge of Demacia, a place where Caterina had never been. Katerina's success today has a lot to do with the way she is going.
In Noxus, the King of Assassins is undoubtedly Tyrone the Shadow of the Blade, and Caterina is unlikely to surpass Tyrone in assassination, but Caterina takes a different path, instead learning jungle field combat with Rengar and hand-to-hand combat with Raven. This makes Karlina, although an Assassin, completely different from Tyrone! If Tyrone is the Grim Reaper who lurks in the dark, then Caterina is the dancer who jumps on the battlefield! It's just that Katerina's dance is not for appreciation, but for slaughtering beings!
Caterina kept jumping through the woods, but in a moment she was at the edge of the jungle. It's just that there is no escape path from the heavens around this jungle. Some are just carpet searches! At the edge of the woods, thousands of Demacian warriors were carefully surveying every inch of the land with weapons in hand. And in front of this team, it is Galen with the power of Demacia!
Galen was extremely handsome and extremely burly, and just standing there gave the impression of facing a mountain, as if it was impossible to pass through his defenses. This Galen is also worthy of being the best man in Demacia, and he is completely a workaholic. The front foot had just sent Gavin back to Demacia, and after hearing that Caterina was stuck in the woods, he immediately went here to help.
Caterina crouched quietly in the treetops. Hidden among the leaves, he looked at Galen like a hunter who had seen his prey. The vanguard of Demacia is the Dreadnought, and the leader of the Dreadnought is Galen. The leader of the vanguard in Noxus is Sein, and the two men are already old enemies. It's just that in the battle a few days ago, Sein had already been killed. Caterina was also driven into the woods. Caterina doesn't mind killing the other party's vanguard to get Noxus back!
The investigation in the woods was extremely slow, and every tree had to be carefully scanned. Caterina carefully scanned the battlefield around her, her right hand quietly reaching her lower back. Caterina has not only two scimitars, but also many throwing knives! In the middle of this dark forest, it is a hunting battlefield tailor-made for Caterina!
Beneath the woods, a fearless pioneer soldier was carefully surveying every corner, but he was a little away from the troops because he was too serious. But since you can enter the Dreadnought. This warrior is naturally the owner of the extremely strong Su zhì, but he reacted in an instant. Then he immediately turned his head away. Luckily, the accident didn't happen, and he could see his companion looking in his direction.
Suddenly, the warrior's eyes widened suddenly, because he saw a figure suddenly appear behind the companion in front of him, and the scimitar that had been stained with blood was already across his companion's neck! Subconsciously, the warrior wanted to open his mouth and warn loudly, but the other party's speed was much faster than her, all he could see was that the neck of his companion was cut open in an instant, and then the red figure disappeared, and finally his neck was slightly cold, and the strength of his body was drained in an instant!
The branch drooped slightly, and before it could bounce up, Caterina appeared on the branch again. The moment the branch flicked just now, the two soldiers had already been killed, and the speed was extremely fast! However, Caterina was not satisfied with her perfect assassination, after all, a hunter only has his own prey in his eyes, and the bait in the capture of prey is not looked down upon by the hunter at all.
The throat was slashed, the blood quickly evaporated under the effect of blood pressure, and a faint smell of blood began to emanate from the air. In just a few minutes, the two corpses were immediately discovered by the warriors of the fearless vanguard, and the entire army was immediately put under martial law! Galen walked to the two fighters with a stern face, carefully looked at the expressions of the two corpses and the location of the wounds, and said after making a judgment: "In an instant, both fighters died by cutting their throats, but one of them died instantaneously unconsciously, and the other saw the scene of the crime but did not react. This way of killing should be Katerina, no doubt. ”
Galen's square cheeks were not angry, and he said to the soldiers on the side: "Send these two corpses back to the city intact, and reward their families with the standards of martyrs." As fearless warriors, they are qualified to enjoy glory. ”
No matter what era or society, as long as there is a difference in rank, there is a different treatment. Galen was a well-known strong and heroic man among Demacia, and the rest of the people naturally subconsciously kept their eyes on him when he spoke. But this is a battlefield, and lurking on the side is Caterina with two sharp knives in Noxus, such an obvious mistake, how could Catalina miss it! What's more, this situation was planned by Katarina!
A figure scurried through the woods, leaping into the air above the group of soldiers. Dozens of flying knives rained down from the sky and immediately pierced into the bodies of these many warriors! For a while, there was a terrible howl, and I don't know how many battles were hit hard! The warriors who were on guard around the woods all subconsciously began to advance towards the woods. A flaw immediately appeared on the battlefield where there was no gap!
Galen couldn't see any expression on his face, but glanced at the wounded warriors and said coldly, "You all car away, Katarina's target is me." All he has to do is get you to revolve around her, to mess with me by hurting you, and to make me pull out my hand to protect you. ”
Galen raised his head and shouted loudly into the woods, "I've admired the Ominous Blade Daimyo for a long time, this is the first time we've met." I just don't know if it's your sharp Noxus knife. Or is my Demacian shield a little harder? ”
In the middle of the woods, Caterina crouched lightly on a branch, holding three sharp knives between her right fingers. And the direction that these three flying knives were aimed at was the seriously injured warriors beside Galen! Demacia is known as the bottom line of human morality, and will always carry out the greatest rescue for the wounded, and has a strong sense of compassion on the battlefield. That's not a plus. Rather, a fatal flaw!
It is often the case on the battlefield that the Noxian warriors will not bother with the wounded warriors and leave them to fend for themselves. The warriors of Demacia, on the other hand, will constantly try to rescue them, and even risk their lives. This may be a good habit, but it has significant drawbacks. That is, once the warriors of Noxus are damaged, they will immediately clench the weapons in their hands, and whenever the enemy appears in sight, they will immediately stab the opponent's body with a butcher's knife. Never die! Because the wounded will not be rescued, the fighters of Noxus know. If you see your companion coming towards you, it means that your side has won.
As long as the fighters of Demacia are injured, they will generally defend desperately, subconsciously waiting for rescue. And in this case, Noxus will make reinforcements around the point. Constantly attacking the wounded soldiers, but instead of depriving them of their lives, they use their lives as bait to lure more soldiers into this death trap!
Because of this, on one side is Noxus, which has no worries, and on the other side, Demacia, which is constantly dragging down, the battle between the two has been fought for several years, but the result of the battle is not that the righteous division Demacia has won more, but that Noxus has been constantly eroding the territory of Demacia and killing the lives of Demacian warriors! For Noxus, war is war, and any mercy becomes a point of attack for the enemy until the outcome is decided. And as long as it is victorious, there is naturally an infinite amount of time for benevolent education. It's just that Demacia doesn't understand, and Noxus naturally won't remind him.
Caterina's attack this time is to take advantage of the psychological weakness of the Demacians, constantly attacking the wounded, and then allowing more complete enemies to appear in her range. Although the enemy has tens of thousands of men, the enemy will prioritize protecting the wounded rather than immediately finding their own position to besiege them. In this way, Caterina has successfully transformed from a prey surrounded and suppressed to a hunter who can advance and retreat!
Only this time, Caterina slowly put away the flying knife in her hand, but slowly stood up. Caterina's goal is to kill Galen, and since the other party is provocative, she naturally wants to fight! Blocking the honor of Demacia's strongest defense to challenge, so that Caterina, who believes in honor, will not refuse at all! What's more, Caterina also knows that since this Galen has dismissed all the fighters, then if he doesn't capture himself, there is no way to go back and explain, then this is a one-on-one battle, and it is Katerina who has the home advantage!
Although many of the warriors of the dreadnought vanguard were not afraid of death, no one wanted to die. Hiding in the shadows was the Noxian killer Caterina, who had to fight to the death if they had the king's orders, but now that Galen had asked them to retreat, these people naturally retreated immediately. It was only a moment's work, and only two people were left in the dense jungle that had just been surrounded by water, Caterina and Galen.
Both Caterina and Galen were very careful, and Galen directly changed out of his own eye-catching armor and put on the costume of an ordinary warrior. Blended in with the retreating warriors, and then, after making sure he wasn't discovered, he hid in the jungle, successfully moving from the light to the shadows. And Caterina though tough. But it was impossible to keep an eye on dozens of retreating warriors, and there was no choice but to hide in the woods and wait for an opportunity.
Just like a sniper's duel, Karlina and Galen are extremely careful to hide their whereabouts, as if they will become the prey of the other party if they leak first. It looks a lot like playing hide-and-seek as a child, but at this point the game is life-threatening and one wrong step. It's a whole loss!
Time passed little by little, and both Katerina and Galen were very patient and did not leak their position. But with the passage of time. The sun had begun to set slowly, and the woods were beginning to get dark. Don't think that Caterina has an advantage after dark, in fact, if it gets dark, then Caterina's advantage will disappear without a trace!
During the day, Caterina is able to move constantly with her speed. But Galen excels at defense rather than speed. So during the day, if Galen is discovered, he will be a live target! And when night comes, the wild beasts in the woods will slip out, and this is the area around Demacia, and Galen knows the terrain and the habits of wild beasts very well. And as long as Caterina takes a wrong step, she will be immediately discovered by Galen, and then tracked directly by Galen! As an assassin, Caterina would not have any advantage, and might even be killed! The sun is slowly setting. It seems that there are only about three hours left before the mountain sets. These three hours are the last time for Caterina to attack! And as long as Galen survives these three hours, he will enter a dark period of more than forty hours!
Little by little, the sun set over the mountains, and the woods began to darken. With the arrival of darkness, those creatures who did not dare to appear in the sunlight during the day began to leave their homes and began to explore the dark world. From time to time there was a rustling sound in the woods, the sound of small animals weaving through the grass. From time to time, dark shadows flashed in the darkness, and it was the birds that were foraging in the woods.
Galen leaned silently against a large tree, and the extremely heavy two-handed sword Bigalen held in his hand, propped up on the ground. The hours of waiting did not wear down Galen's patience, and Galen had been standing there silently, not making a sound. Even when breathing, Galen deliberately controls the frequency so that his breathing does not make the animals around him feel fearful.
Three hours passed in a flash, and the moment the sun set, Galen's body shook suddenly! And at this moment, a throwing knife shot out from an extremely tricky angle and shot at Galen's head! No matter who is anyone, there will be a moment of relaxation when they feel that the crisis has passed, even the battle-hardened Galen will not be an exception. And just when Galen's mind relaxed, Caterina just launched an attack!
The angle of this flying knife card is extremely tricky, it just shoots in from between the two leaves, and Galen's body is strong, and there is a trace of slackness in his heart, so he didn't dodge, although he didn't hit the fatal part, but this flying knife still shot on Galen's right arm! Galen's reaction was also extremely fast, and he immediately rolled in place, and his eyes immediately focused on the direction of the flying knife shot out in the darkness.
However, the place where Caterina appeared was not in the direction of the flying knife, but as if she had crossed space, she appeared directly behind Galen! The scimitar was like a judge's pen that hooked the soul and asked for his life, and it slipped down Galen's neck! At this moment, a light suddenly lit up on Galen's body, and a translucent armor actually appeared on Galen's body, although the blade was sharp, but it did not cut through Galen's armor!
Galen's reaction was also extremely fast, he instantly released his heavy sword, and grabbed it with his right hand on his back! Without any accidents, a ball of soft meat fell into Galen's hands, without any pity or shame, Galen used all his strength to pinch it hard! A woman is a woman after all, and some extremely important parts are extremely sensitive no matter what kind of training they receive, and with a heavy gasp, Caterina was directly grabbed by Galen, and then changed to her right arm forcefully, ready to throw Caterina out like a stone!
But the moment she stepped over Galen's head, Katarina's slender legs suddenly wrapped around Galen's arms. In an extremely ** posture, he was close to Galen's chest! With the strength of the soft psoas muscles, Katarina's body bent over in an instant, and slashed at Galen's lower body in a difficult position! It's not just women who have vital parts. The same is true for men's bodies!
Looking at the part pointed at by Caterina's blade, Galen's face, who had always been stern, turned green all of a sudden! As a man, you can be killed by enemies on the battlefield, but you must not be a eunuch! Although Galen has received an extremely moral education since he was a child, the sexual blessings of the second half of his life are in front of him, and Galen immediately made an extremely important decision, which is shameless! There was no hesitation. Galen suddenly opened his mouth, raised his arm slightly, and bit the softest place of the girl in front of him!
Caterina had a look in her eyes. Seeing that his blade is getting closer and closer to Galen's private parts, as long as he goes a little further, then he can take the other party's life! But at this moment, Caterina suddenly felt a wave of heat coming from her private parts! As a girl. Caterina also can't avoid having a moment of enjoyment in her body! It's such a fleeting time. Galen's waist and abdomen had retracted, and his left hand was also grabbing at Katarina!
The opportunity is fleeting, and although Caterina feels pity, she must flee if she misses the blow. The left hand swept towards his back, forcing back Galen's left hand that wanted to grab his body, Caterina stepped on Galen's chest one after another, and with the power of the shock, Katrina immediately broke off Galen's embrace! The first round of the encounter. Galen's faceless attack neutralizes Katerina's attack, but Galen is hit by a throwing knife. Caterina wins by a small margin.
Although there are many variations in the battle, they all happen in a split second. When Caterina broke free from Galen's embrace, Galen's two-handed sword had not yet landed on the ground. It was just that Hey Hey bent over, and the two-handed sword was once again grasped by Galen in his hand. The chest attack and lewd attack did not cause Galen any embarrassment, and he still said to Caterina with a righteous face, "How did you find me in this place?" ”
Caterina was half-crouched ten meters in front of Galen, and there was no expression of shame on her face. After all, both Galen and Caterina are battle-hardened warriors, killing on the battlefield, and one will die if he is not careful, and the so-called shame is just a means. Caterina stared at Galen without blinking and said, "There are traces of animals wandering everywhere in the woods, but it's only you here, it's too calm." ”
Galen's eyes shrank slightly, and he had to sigh at Caterina's keen observation. In order to avoid Caterina's covert attacks, Galen has been very careful, and even pays great attention to the movement of insects, and every once in a while, Galen will always attract some insects as a disguise. It's just that animals have their own thoughts, and if they are really extremely normal, they are the most abnormal expressions.
Galen nodded lightly at Caterina and said, "You're right, I was careless. I took advantage of you so much just now, you can marry me! ”
The first half of the sentence is still discussing life and death, and the second half of the sentence directly discusses life. Although Katerina has undergone countless trainings, she is still a girl after all. No matter how strong a girl is on the outside, no matter how masculine she looks, no matter how free and easy she looks, as long as she is a girl, she will hope to have a harbor in her heart, and hope to have someone who loves her.
Caterina is also a woman, and of course she also thought that one day she would be able to wash away the blood of this body, and then be happy to be a little woman. I can educate my son every day, someone can feed me a bite of food when I am hungry, someone can serve tea and pour water when I am thirsty, and I can even be coquettish every day, and I can go home to talk to my husband when I suffer pain and grievances outside. Just because this is a dream that all women have, even Caterina is slightly stunned!
At this moment, Galen's body suddenly provoked, and the two-handed sword slashed at Katarina on the ground, and Galen's jump actually spanned a distance of more than ten meters, and instantly arrived in front of Katarina's eyes! By the time Caterina reacted, there was no way out! There was no way, Katrina could only hold the scimitar in both hands and defend herself with all her might!
A loud bang shook the jungle, under the acceleration of gravity. Caterina was directly smashed by Galen's sword and half-knelt on the ground! And along with the giant sword, Caterina could still feel a special energy constantly shuttling through her limbs, so that the assassination method that had been integrated into the bone marrow could not be used at all for a while! Katerina's pupils constricted. This is Galen's formidable ability, a fatal blow! Galen was caught by Caterina at the beginning, so he suffered a small loss, but at this time, how could Galen not seize the opportunity!
I saw that Galen's body was shining with golden light, and there was a light falling from the dark sky! A huge heavy sword formed by condensing energy actually fell from the sky. Hit Caterina with a dead slam! It is Galen's special move, the power of justice in Demacia! This is a fatal blow that condenses countless beliefs, and has the terrifying power to ignore defenses! Not to mention Katerina's petite body. Even a powerful warrior can rarely survive this attack!
In the moment of life and death, Caterina suddenly smiled extremely gently at Galen in front of her, and two lines of tears actually slipped down her face! Katarina, who has always been in a cold-blooded murderous posture, actually assumed the posture of a little woman. It turned out to be a charming smile at Galen while crying! Tears slid down her cheeks. Caterina said to Galen very gently, "I knew you would marry me, why should I do anything to you, Galen." ”
Galen is a normal man, and he is a trained and energetic man, not to mention that just now Galen reached out and grabbed Katarina's chest, and kissed Katarina's private parts with his mouth! At this time, Caterina showed such an expression, even Galen's heart couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and the hand that was desperately pressed down couldn't help but loosen slightly. An unbearable feeling immediately filled Galen's heart!
And at this moment, Caterina suddenly exerted her strength. Galen's epee was blocked by Katarina! I saw that under the edge of the sword, how could there be the pitiful look just now, some were just cold eyes and a murderous face! The tears, the smile, and the affectionate eyes just now seemed to be a mockery of Galen's own amorous feelings! It's just that at this time, the giant sword in the sky is already close in front of her, although Caterina is suddenly rolling backwards, but she is still shrouded in the smoke of the giant sword smashing on the ground, even Galen doesn't know if this attack has hit Caterina's body!
The smoke and dust whistled away, Galen stared at the smoke in front of him without blinking, clenched the giant sword with both hands, and didn't dare to be careless at all! And just a moment later, a cold light burst out in the smoke, and countless flying knives shot out desperately at Galen like raindrops! Galen's pupils also contracted suddenly, although this was only the first time he had fought with Katarina, but Caterina's life-harvesting dance, who in the entire Demacia could not know!
Galen's expression became extremely solemn in an instant, and his eyes became resolute, and he even shouted: "For Demacia, give me courage!" And with Galen's roar, the armor that had helped Galen resist the deadly killing move just now actually appeared on Galen's body again! At the same time, Galen also grabbed the giant sword with both hands, and his body spun wildly in place!
Like the most beautiful dance, Caterina kept shooting the knife as she whirled, and Galen was spinning, but she was just trying her best to resist Caterina's attacks! Countless throwing knives shot out of the smoke, and although Galen was able to resist the throwing knives as he rotated, he couldn't stop them all. There will always be a few fish that slip through Galen's blockade and shoot at Galen's body.
It's just that Caterina can't guarantee the accuracy of each throwing knife in the high-speed rotation, although these daggers have passed through Galen's blockade and broken through Galen's armor, but the attack power is also very little. When the smoke fell, the two people who were spinning at high speed stopped, and Katarina's hands trembled slightly, obviously suffering a lot of damage when she had just resisted Galen's heavy sword. And on Galen's body, there are also a lot of flying knives scattered around.
It's just that Galen dared to be called the most powerful shield in Demacia, so naturally he wouldn't have only armor. Indifferently, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the flying knife on his body, and the wound on Galen's body slowly healed! It seems that with a little time, Galen's injuries will heal as before! In this encounter, Galen used a verbal attack to pull back a game, but Caterina also used a verbal attack to counterattack, and to sum up, the two of them turned out to be equal!
Galen slowly recovered from the wounds on his body, and Caterina was recovering her trembling hands. The fierce battlefield fell into a brief lull for a while. Only two people staring at each other were on guard against each other. Both Caterina and Galen have an understanding of each other's strength, and in the absence of a must-kill, neither of them will choose to act rashly.
At this moment, a figure slowly walked out in the darkness and stood quietly between the two people. Seeing this person's arrival, Galen's body shook suddenly, Shadow of the Blade, Tyrone! This is a butcher's knife hidden in the dark, the sharpest knife in Noxus! Although everyone admits that Caterina and Tyrone are two sharp knives, everyone also knows that Tyrone's strength is definitely above Caterina! Maybe Tyrone is weaker in long-term battles, but if it breaks out, Tyrone is a god! And killing people only takes one chance, and no one can guarantee that they will be able to survive Tyrone's attack!
The moment he saw Tyrone appear, Galen's heart was cold, and it was already even more difficult for a Caterina to deal with by herself, and at this time, another Tyrone appeared! Galen even had the illusion that his throat had actually been cut open by Tyrone, otherwise how could this Tyrone stand here so lightly! If there is anyone who is the most feared person in Noxus, it is definitely not the melee king Raven, nor the tactician Svein, but the butcher knife Tyrone hidden in the shadows! Although this is the jungle that Demacia does not want, Galen knows that as long as it is where Tyrone wants to go, no one can stop him! As long as he wants to kill people, he can only live in panic!
Just to Galen's surprise, Tyrone just glanced at Galen coldly, and then turned to Caterina and said, "Svein has a task for you, this prey, have time to play again." ”
Hearing Tyrone's words, Galen's hands clenched tightly. What kind of contempt is this, what kind of contempt is this! But he is not qualified to refute, because at this time Galen has no more killer moves, and it is completely unwise to fight Tyrone and Caterina at this time! It's just that this feeling of being despised is really ashamed and embarrassing!
It's just that to Galen's expectations, Caterina did not have a contemptuous look in her eyes, but made a gesture to Galen very strictly, and then nodded slightly, and in a few jumps, she had already disappeared into the darkness. It was only at this time that Galen remembered that in Noxus, he had a supreme sense of honor! If a strong man can't resist, then two people can kill by any means necessary, but if the strength of the two is between the two, then the competitiveness of the Noxians will definitely not allow others to snatch their prey! This is the cherishing of the prey, and it is the best training for oneself!
Galen stared blankly at the empty forest in front of him, his eyes full of loneliness. If you were stronger, you wouldn't have to suffer such contempt from Tyrone. It's just that there is no so-called ifs in this world, and Galen was clearly let go by Tyrone once this time. Just holding the giant sword, Galen's eyes are full of fighting spirit, this is a life owed to you, and I, Galen, will return it to you sooner or later!
At this time, in the darkness, Tyrone was saying coldly to Caterina: "Svein wants you to go to Demacia to retrieve Theon's body, he will send an army to respond outside the city, but there are many dangers inside, you have to be careful." ”
Caterina frowned slightly and said, "I'm more curious about how you found me than this." ”
Tyrone didn't see any expression on his face, but looked at Demacia in the distance and said, "No matter where you are, I can find you if I want to find you." (To be continued......)
