Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Last Survivor
After galloping for nearly three hours, Poppy finally arrived at the barracks in the former super fortress, which was already in a mess due to the rush of the retreat. Wheels, tents, horse feed, baggage and other materials were scattered all over the place.
The chaos of the military camp in front of him did not enter Bobby's eyes at all, only the once incomparably magnificent super barrier in the distance was the place that Bobby's heart remembered the most at this moment.
However, the majestic super fortress that once stretched for dozens of kilometers has been completely reduced to a ruin, and Poppy's heart is already cold.
After dismounting in despair, Poppy dragged his stiff steps towards the brick-red ruins in the distance.
At this time, another horse "stepped ~ stepped on ~" and came running.
A white figure leapt off his horse and quickly overtook Poppy, heading straight for the large ruins.
In the process of running, she was still constantly shouting "Brother~!! ~Brother!!! Where are you?? ”
"Brother!! Where are you? Hurry up and answer me!! Brother!! ”
Lux's voice trembled and cried, and it took a great deal of effort for her to climb the crumbling wall on this side.
Directly in front of us, the plain was empty, except for the ruins of the super barrier a few kilometers away as far as the eye could see, and there seemed to be a towering statue.
Lux climbed over the ruins, jumped over the plains, and began to run to the place where the statue was.
When Poppy came to the ruins, she also saw the faint statue, but that was not her concern, what Poppy was hoping to find the living as soon as possible, even if it was an ordinary soldier in any of the Dreadnought Vanguard Legions, she could ask them, Galen, where? Galio, and where?
So, after Poppy descended from the ruins of the city wall, he slowly walked into the depths of the plain along the plain ahead, following some traces of battle.
When Lux came to the statue, he also saw the Shura Hell beneath the statue, where at least tens of thousands of ugly-looking Void monsters died. Their deaths were horrible, some of them were blurred and smashed into a mass of flesh, some were charred and blackened as if they had been burned by fire, some were broken as if they had been bombarded by something, and some were buried in the ground, leaving only half of their heads or limbs exposed to the ground.
The most terrifying thing was the corpses of seven or eight huge void monsters not far from this statue, each of which was hundreds of meters long, and seeing their various deaths, Lux could immediately imagine the intensity of yesterday's battle.
Holding back the acid repulsion in his stomach, Lux also began to search for the human corpses of the Dreadnought Vanguard Legion in this Shura Hell.
After a long time, a large and dense sound of horses' hooves was heard from the barracks garrison inside the former super fortress, and Kestin arrived with 5,000 cavalry. When they bolted their horses and jumped over the ruins to the statue, they were also struck by the aftermath of the battle.
"In groups of 10, we will start searching along the Super Barrier and along the plains ahead, and if we find friendly survivors, or corpses, bring them back here. An hour later, everyone rushed back to the statue to assemble. In addition, if danger is detected, a fireworks signal will be issued immediately, and all personnel will immediately retreat. ”
Compared with Bobby and Lux, Kestin was more calm and methodically issued one command after another.
When the 5,000-strong force dispersed and began to search, Kestin also began to retreat from the foot of the statue, and began to observe and study the abrupt statue from the bottom up.
On the other side, Bobby dragged a huge warhammer and finally found another, even more tragic battlefield, where the corpses of the dead Void monsters far outnumbered the statue. The corpses of the near-endless Void monsters were scattered in layers, and the purple and red blood on the ground soaked the earth into a dark brown.
However, apart from the corpses of the Void monsters, there were only the remnants of the human weapon Jiage, but not a single human corpse.
The more this happened, the colder Poppy's heart became, which meant that when the Void Monsters evacuated, they had devoured all the corpses of the soldiers.
So, Galen? Galio? And the familiar, vivid faces of the Dreadnought Vanguard Legion? Don't you see it anymore......
"Ah~~~~~~~ ah~~~Ah~~~Ah~~Ah~~~~~~~~"
Poppy suddenly began to scream in the sky, this cry of sorrow and despair echoed across the plain, and lasted for dozens of seconds, until her vocal cords trembled, her throat began to dry and hoarse, and finally she could only make a faint sound of "cough~cough~".
A line of blood, spilling from his throat and running down the corner of his mouth......
Two lines of tears...... At some point, it slipped down its eye sockets and fell into the land drop by drop, splashing blood-colored flowers on the dark brown ground.
At this time, among the corpses of the boundless void monsters, there seemed to be a slight sound coming from the stomach of the Void Devourer that had lost its head, but was still the most huge, hundreds of meters long.
In a trance, Bobby's eyes froze instantly, and she picked up the war hammer, and the power of runes surged all over her body, launching a charge, heading straight for the huge body.
As she was about to charge in front of the monster, Bobby stopped, because she saw a familiar object, and the runic power she had condensed instantly dissipated, and the warhammer slowly slipped from her hand...
Bo Heavy fell to his knees, his hands trembling, and he stretched out little by little.
It was a giant sword that slanted diagonally into the earth, and there were long traces of blood on the hilt and blade of the sword.
This is, the "Storm Sword", the exclusive weapon of the Grand General Galen of Demacia, and one of the iconic weapons of the entire Demacian Federation.
"People are in the sword, people are dead, and the sword is dead......"
Every time Bobby pestered Galen to exchange his rune hammer for his Storm Greatsword, Galen would rub Bobby's head and put it away, saying something like this.
At this moment, a gentle breeze blew by, and the ownerless giant sword seemed to let out a mournful roar......
At that moment, there seemed to be another tapping sound from within the corpse of the devouring monster behind Poppy.
This time it was close, and Poppy was sure it was a tapping, not the sound of the Void monsters moving.
She quickly pulled out the storm sword stuck in the ground, walked in front of the huge corpse, and thrust the greatsword into the position where she had just heard the sound, and slashed hard.
A figure wrapped in a thick layer of purple plasma fell out.
Poppy's eyes widened instantly, and she quickly went up to help him up, and after quickly wiping the blood off his face with her small hands, Poppy recognized this person.
Dreadnought Vanguard Legion, Cavalry Commander, Aniase.
"Ani, Big Brother Ani?? Can you hear me? Big Brother Ani? ”
Aniasse coughed violently, spitting out a large mouthful of blood mixed with purple, red, and fragments of internal organs, and her eyes opened slightly.
"Wave ~ ~ Wave ~ Ratio"
"Big Brother Ani, Big Brother Ani, don't talk yet. I'm going to go and find Lux, she's a light mage, she can heal you, you hold on, you must hold on. ”
With that, a panicked Poppy wanted to get up and go to Lux near Superfortress.
However, her arm was tightly grasped by Ani.
"Come, no ~~ and ~"
Ani grabbed Poppy's hand and slowly put it on his waist, at this time, Poppy found that this terrible scar on Aniase's body almost completely cut off his upper body and lower body, and some of his organs had even fallen off from the body, observing the edge of the wound, Poppy found that Aniasse should have deliberately burned the wound with the power of runes to reduce the blood loss of the body, which can support until now. However, this kind of injury, even if Lux comes, will be powerless, and Aniase should have held on to his last breath until now.
"They, let, the corpse ~ ate it all ~ I hid in ~ the body ~ before I ......"
Bobby nodded again and again, and put her hand to Aniase's mouth, signaling that she understood, trying to get him to say a few words.
"Huh~Huh~~"
Every word Aniase's words now requires a sharp gasp, as if it may not be able to hold it at any moment.
Poppy didn't dare to interrupt anymore, she forced the grief in her heart and the tears in her eyes to shine, and quietly looked at Aniase, waiting for his dying words, perhaps, from his mouth to learn the whereabouts of the rest, especially the Great General Galen.
"It~they, the ~commander~~, the big~ general, and ~plus, li, and Ao together, fight~ defeated, it!"
"Huh~~~Huh~~Huh~~"
"What about the general?? What about Galio? ”
Poppy finally heard about Galen and couldn't help but ask.
"Big~Great~General~"
At this point, there seemed to be a strange brilliance in Aseani's eyes, and his face began to flush for a while.
"Galio, in, that~~"
Following Aniase's slightly trembling fingers, Poppy looked in the direction of the Super Barrier, where there was a newly-appearing statue that towered into the sky.
"Big, general, commanded by them, swallowed, in its body, self, exploding~~"
"He's the real, the army, the soul!! Ah, Ni, come and accompany, you, great, general! ”
The flush on Aniase's face quickly faded, and her neck slowly fell into the crook of Bobby's tiny arm, as if she was asleep, with an expectant smile on her lips.
Perhaps, in the dream, in another world, he will once again follow the banner of the great general Galen and fight in all directions.
Poppy hugged Ani and crouched silently, motionless. The two of them, among the corpses of the Void monsters surrounded by them, looked so desolate......
The soldiers sent by Kestin to search for them finally found them here, and more and more people rushed here, including Lux, and Kestine, they saw this tragic battlefield, and also saw the only remaining corpse of the dreadnought vanguard in front of them, it seemed that there was no need to ask anything more, next to the bodies of Bobbi and Aniase, the storm sword inserted in the ground, had already told everyone the final outcome of yesterday's battle......
"Brother~~ Woo" Lux screamed miserably, knelt on the ground, grabbed the big sword with both hands, and began to cry loudly.
"Plop~"
I don't know if it was the soldier who knelt down first.
"Plop~"
"Plop~~~"
Pieces of soldiers fell to their knees, and eventually, in a circular shape, they stood outside the great sword.
Kestin didn't habitually push the gold-wire glasses on the bridge of her nose this time, she gently took them off, raised her hand, and wiped the corners of her eyes, where there was a little bit of luminous light......
--------------
April 18, 2837.
Noxus Acacia Pass.
A day earlier, War College reinforcements had arrived, and Noxus' Super Teleportation Array had been activated.
In the General's tent, Darius is seated at the head of his seat, and on his left are the generals of the Noxian Army, including sisters Caterina and Cassiopeia. On the right, there are envoys from the War College, led by Jax and Tariq, accompanied by many gray robes.
In the big tent, everyone was talking and happy.
At this time, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves outside the tent, which made Darius frown, and his army repeatedly ordered that before the tent, unless there was an urgent military situation, he should not gallop on horseback.
"Report ~~~~"
"General~! Demacia Urgent! The highest grade, urgent report!! ”
The herald ran in, holding the golden tin foil in his hand.
Darius got up slowly with a cold face, walked down step by step, and walked in front of the herald.
When she heard Demacia's urgent report, Caterina couldn't help but panic, and a feeling of loss appeared in her heart.
Darius took the gold tin foil from the herald's hand, slowly unscrewed it, and took out a rolled-up secret letter from it.
After only looking at two lines, Darius, who had always been calm and rigid, iron-blooded and cold-faced, began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
"Bang~click~~"
In Darius' trembling left hand, the golden tin foil slowly slipped down, and the sound of falling to the ground was particularly crisp in the silent military tent.
"Galen, !!!!!!!!!!"
Suddenly, Darius clenched his hands into fists and roared to the sky, as if with intense anger and undisguised sorrow in his chest and abdomen!!
"Click~~"
In the Noxus camp, Katarina, pale, the armrest of her seat, broken under her clenched right hand.
