The magic lights flickered, and the polished walls of the corridor reflected two flickering shadows.

On the throne, Modrian reclined on the back of his steel chair, his arms resting on his cheeks, quietly watching the departing figures of Ogst and Petrick, his calm face rippling slightly.

With a slight turn of his gaze, he stared at the remnants of Peggtrick, Lord of the Flames of Purgatory.

Although this abyssal red dragon seems to have no bottom line at all, greedy for life and afraid of death, and eager for strength, it is such a guy that is worth noting.

As for Ogist, he's an incredibly smart old fellow, an immortal dragon lich, but he'll be a good companion, or at least he'll put himself in Valoran's shoes and think about something.

"The bottomless abyss and the all-out war of the main material plane."

"The gods have descended, and the evil gods have appeared."

Modrian's brow furrowed as he pondered the message Ogerst had revealed.

He remembered the unintentional prophecy of fate confided by the Mokawi family, [the astral plane collapsed, the abyss shook], and it seemed that an invisible shadow was surrounding the edge of the main material plane, pulling it into the infinite darkness.

"In fact, there is no need to worry too much about the bottomless abyss, with enough time, we can fully arrange." Svein looked sideways at the Trefalis Legionnaires, his chin lifted imperceptibly.

The Trefalli legionnaires, who were guarding the palace, immediately saluted their breastplates with their iron fists in armor, bowed away, and put on a heavy guard outside.

"Valoran's mind at the moment is the enemy hiding in the shadows." Svein straightened up, his rigid face cold.

"The Red Lotus Abyss, the Dark Abyss, the Divine Power, the combination of these information tells that the enemy hidden in the shadows is definitely not to be underestimated." After a slight pause, Svein's eyes flickered with an unpredictable light.

"Even ...... The abyss of original sin cannot let its guard down. ”

The sudden abyss invasion event has plunged the Valoran Territory into an inexplicable quagmire of war, and it seems that it is just a simple abyss monster attack, but the 'thing' hidden in the darkness is quietly approaching the territory.

Modrian turned his head to look at Svein, the Noxian ruler exuding composure and compulsion, his expression full of confidence, as if he had regained the feeling he had felt when he was in charge of the Noxian Empire.

"Do you need to inform the rest of the town guards?"

Svein gently raised his crimson left hand, and it seemed that a faint black shadow could be seen. "No, they know what to do, what we need to do is to fully integrate all the forces in the territory during this time."

"The invasion of the abyss, the beginning of calamity, is also the end of power."

"The weaker nobles should have realized that they can't resist the Valoran Lord."

"Now, it's time for us to reap the benefits."

"Valoran Collar needs only one voice, and that's your glory." With that, Svein got up and saluted Modrian respectfully.

Hearing Svein's words, Modrian couldn't deny it, and gently looked up at the night outside the dome, the bleak white moonlight filled with a trace of blood.

The reform measures he once proposed, after being adjusted and modified by Svein, slowly penetrated every part of Valoran's territory, like a frog boiled in warm water, depriving those ancient nobles in the territory of their rights little by little.

Of course, with Valoran's force, no one can refuse to surrender their interests. But the subsequent impact is something that Modrian does not want to see.

Regardless of social affiliation, background, homeland, and personal wealth, anyone can gain power, status, and respect in Valoran, as long as they can demonstrate the necessary abilities.

This is Svein's political ambition and the political starting point that Modrian could not agree more.

What the Valoran Lords need is people who are truly loyal to the Valoran Lord, not to submit to the coercion of force.

"Let's get started."

Modrian looked sideways at Svein, at the calamity in the shadows, and spoke.

......

......

With Modrian's command, Valoran's Territory quickly activated like a mechanical beast.

Silent undercurrents began at the fortress of Lakstak and spread outward, slowly flooding the cities of Irwindale, Lafargue City, Edalas City, Limontanlu, Ranvasur Castle, Southern Province, and other territories.

Not long ago, Caterina's bloody slaughter had cleared the realm of diehards, and the remaining nobles and merchants were almost all inclined to Valoran's territory, though they were still reluctant to hand over their own people and interests.

In this sudden Abyss invasion, almost all the nobles and great merchants were traumatized and lost most of their benefits.

Even if there is a small factor, the loss is small because of the resident town.

But under the silent wave, everyone who had witnessed the horror of Valoran's territory silently gave up resistance and surrendered their rights.

Especially after the Dalle and Arnold families took the lead in handing over the Flame Knights and Violet Guards under their respective controls, the wave soon ended.

Valoran's Territory has completely integrated all its forces, leaving only one center of power.

Lakstak Fortress!

In the following time, the laws, decrees, ordinances, rules, and charters from the Noxus Empire and the Kingdom of Demacia on the Valoran continent were revised and improved by Morrian and Svein and others, and were issued to all the towns in the Valoran Territory.

The one that attracted the most attention was --- permanent decree on the promotion of the nobility.

The nobility in Valoran's domain was divided into two categories: meritorious nobles and office nobles, and the so-called court nobles and blood nobles were abolished.

This was in line with Svein's political ideal, where only those who showed competence in the political, military, manufacturing, trade, and magical realms would make Valoran's power stronger.

Meritorious nobles, relying on military merits to obtain noble titles, and even territorial rewards.

The Daller and Arnold families, who had long supported Valoran's Territory, were the first to receive the title of Meritorious Nobles for their performance in the war of the Great Plains of Shatar and the invasion of the Abyss.

The title of Meritorious Nobleman can be extended for three generations, and if no one can achieve enough military merit in Valoran within three generations, the title of Noble will be abolished.

A nobleman of his position, he relied on his outstanding ability to seek positions in many towns in Valoran's territory.

This talent is also urgently needed by the Valoran Territory, because it would be too much of a waste of their abilities to put so many heroes in the town, and they need a more exciting stage to show themselves.

Cooper Adolphus, Horace Lindbergh Dalle, Sigrid Cecil Moqawi, Benny Izzy and others quickly achieved titles of nobility.

These earliest followers of Modrian became the core of Valoran's new nobility.

As for the many heroes and elite legions in Valoran's territory, Modrian thought twice and decided to give up the knighthood and establishment, they are the real core of Valoran's territory, and it is related to the League of Legends system, it is better to be careful, at least it can reduce the prying eyes and coveting of some people with intentions.

Time moves forward silently.

The chaos stirred up by the Abyss Invasion gradually subsided, but the endless attacks of Abyssal monsters continued to erode the vitality of the territory, like a chronic poison, trying to destroy the Valoran Territory.

This was not a situation that Modrian wanted to see, and after asking Ogst to no avail, he arranged for Professor Heimerdinger to initiate one of the pre-selection filings for Valoran.

Manufacture of Hextech machinery products.

Long before the Abyss invasion, Valoran had equipped many towns and legionnaires with Hextech mechanical products, but most of them were experimental models for data collection.

And now the Abyss situation in which Valoran is located.

It was impossible for Mordrian's legionnaires to purge the Abyss monsters around the clock, so he arranged for Professor Heimerdinger and alchemy researchers to start making Hextech mechanical products and use them in Valoran's territory.

[Hextech Standard Firearm (Charged)] and [Hextech Turret (Type 1)], two Hextech products made in Ironglass City, were quickly transported to many towns in Valoran Territory through Laxstak Fortress.

As soon as it was circulated and used, it was welcomed by countless legionnaires and townsmen, including many old nobles and big merchants.

Compared to the two, the [Hextech Fort (Type 1)] used for town defense is far less popular than the [Hextech Standard Firearm (Charged)] with a refined standard.

Just like the notes in the [Drawing: Hextech Standard Firearms] note.

The birth of standard firearms allowed more and more ordinary people to use Hextech firearms, and no longer exclusively for those few with arcane talents.

Its power, after the experiments of the Iron Glass City, can be effective for trauma professionals.

Once you meet a professional on the size of a squad, you can completely cause a very effective suppression, and even complete a kill.

When Modrian first saw the Hextech standard firearms, he recalled the technological civilization in his previous life, and also clearly understood what a terrifying impact the birth of the Hextech standard firearms would have on the existing civilization system of the Karadimos continent.

Although the supernatural power is still extraordinary, it will definitely not be as high as before.

In the end, after discussing with Svein, Heimerdinger and others, he launched the [Charged Type], a simplified version of the Hextech standard firearm.

From the name alone, it is clear that this is a Hextech firearm that needs to be recharged after shooting, like a rifle from a previous life, but the impact it brings still caused inexplicable waves within Valoran's territory.

This shoe can be seen from the reaction of the old nobles and big businessmen, and the boundaries of the transcendent have completely collapsed in front of the Hextech firearms.

It was also the emergence of [Hextech Standard Firearms (Charged Type)] that gradually allowed Valoran to resume a little trade between different towns, which led to an increase in economic consumption.

In the wild environment of the territory, every noble servant or caravan attendant escorting the caravan wears the purchased Hextech firearms, and when a small number of abyssal monsters are attacked, they will defeat or kill the abyssal monsters with a numerical advantage.

Occasionally, when you encounter a large number of abyssal monsters, you will send a signal and there will be patrolling legionnaires to come to your aid.

In any case, the appearance of Hextech firearms has profoundly changed some things, and it has also caused a lot of fluctuations within the Valoran Territory, but with the strong force constraints, no one dares to offend the majesty of the Valoran Territory.

However, Modrian knew in his heart that with the passage of time, the germ of evolution generated by technology would spread at an unusually terrifying rate among ordinary people.

Even if you can't destroy the extraordinary cornerstone, it will cause irreparable effects.
