(Battle of Runes) Chapter 46 Open Fight and Secret Battle
In the eastern city of Presti, on both sides of Tongguang Boulevard, more than 100,000 Noxian soldiers lined up on both sides of this wide avenue, looking from afar, stretching for several miles, waving flags, and arrogant soldiers, it is intimidating. At the end of the Noxian formation, there are two rows of neatly armoured, solemn Noxian senior generals, in the middle of the tail of this general team, is a pure gold, three meters wide, two meters high animal skin seat, four white mammoth tusks, like a flagpole from low to high erected on the back of both sides of the seat, on the armrests on both sides of the seat there is a blue-faced tusked beast head, this majestic seat, is the Noxian army after the looting of a duke's mansion, now above this seat, Sitting at the top of the Noxian side sat the Supreme Commander of the Ionian Battlefield, Lieutenant General Sain, who was clad in blood-red armor, a giant helmet with horns, and a double-sided axe with dark red shading at his side. It looks imposing.
When a convoy of Ionians guarding both sides appeared at the end of the other end of the avenue, a flag officer quickly ran in front of Sain, bowed his head and stood by, seeing Sain nodding slightly, and waving his left hand lightly with a clenched fist. The flag officer quickly ran to a high platform on the left, waved several different flags in succession, and signaled that the whole army was welcoming the guests.
At this time, the convoy had already entered the front section of the Noxus Platoon Sergeant's formation, only to hear a burst of shocking drumbeats began to beat, accompanied by nearly 100,000 soldiers "Boom!" Boom! The whole army of Noxus let out a "Roar!" "Roar, drink!" Roar! Drink, drink! "This rhythmic shout. The overall loud drum beat and shouting sound shook the four fields in an instant, and it soared into the sky!
Although the knights on the horses had tried their best to control the horses, there were still a few horses that neighed uncontrollably, and the front hooves raised to overturn the knights on the horses to the ground, and the comrades on the side hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the reins and controlled the frightened horses, so as not to make this Ionian escort appear to have a bigger trouble. Zelos in the team, as the commander of the military in this peace negotiation, felt angry at the poor performance of his cavalry, and under his loud reprimand and leather whip, those restless war horses and some trance cavalry gradually controlled their emotions and formations, and continued to resist the pressure of the Noxian soldiers on both sides, gritting their teeth and walking forward with hatred.
In the second of the three carriages on the team sat Jax, the master of weapons, the mayor of Presti, and the deputy envoy of the Valoran League of Legends Federal Assembly. At this moment, hearing the continuous sound of drums and shouts outside, as well as the neighing of horses, Mayor Presti couldn't help but become worried, and he asked cautiously, "Lord Jax, let's just drive straight in?" Wouldn't it be too presumptuous? Looking at this situation, Noxus doesn't seem to be very friendly. ”
Jax's eyes under the black iron mask were closed, quietly listening to the shocking drum beats, weapon slapping and hundreds of thousands of sergeants' shouts from outside the car, this long-lost feeling made Jax's mind fluctuate for a long time, and the hot blood in his body seemed to be gradually boiling, constantly burning his dusty heart, after taking a deep breath, Jax forced himself to suppress this feeling, and said, "It's okay." This rhythm of drumbeats, weapons and cheers, is known as the Noxus Requiem, and is generally used for the martyrs' sacrifice before the Noxus military parade, or for the sacrifice of the dead after the war. Either way, it means that this war will come to an end, and even if they want to give us a dismount through this ceremony, it doesn't hurt. ”
Hearing Jax say this, Mayor Presti was relieved, he was the most concerned about the outcome of the peace talks. The Ionian War triggered a drastic change in the political situation in Ionia, especially after the death of Admiral Ryan and the arrival of the special envoy of the Valoran Parliament, a large number of high-ranking officials of the original owner were downcast under the pressure of the military's anger, and the mayor of Presti City, although he was cowardly and timid, had principles in his heart, and had always firmly opposed surrender, and after the Noxian army entered the city, he rushed to Presti Square as soon as possible to organize and coordinate the resettlement of refugees, and deployed medical teams to rush to the Hall of Stars to assist Master Sokala and the priests in the treatment of the wounded. A series of actions were taken into account by both the military representative Zelos and the Ionian spiritual leader Soraka, and finally agreed that he would join the mediation team, adding a strong luster to his next election campaign for the Ionian Speaker.
The convoy struggled against the trembling Noxus Requiem, but no matter how long the road was, it would eventually come to an end. When the convoy entered the small square where the Noxian generals gathered, the arm of Sain, who was sitting upright on the animal skin seat, waved, and the shocking "Noxus Requiem" came to an abrupt end. The sound of the sheath was closed as the strongest sound, and this state of sending 100,000 strong troops like fingers once again proved one point to the world, "The Noxus army is strong, and it is the best of Valoran!" ”
When the three carriages stopped, the curtain of the first carriage was lifted, and the first to come down was the envoy of the Valoran League of Legends Federal Assembly, who was also the envoy of the mediation agreement, and then came down two clerks holding papers and seals. Immediately afterwards, the curtain of the second carriage was lifted, and the mayor of Presti City came down first, and after him came down the deputy envoy of the Valoran League of Legends Federal Assembly, and finally, Jax, who was in a purple robe and covered with black armor, also fell off the carriage lightly. The moment he got out of the car, nearly a hundred Noxian generals on both sides of the square stared at him in unison, and even the huge body of Sain, who had been sitting upright on the animal skin seat, moved slightly, and then, Sain's gaze was nailed to Jax's body and no longer moved, and was faintly red. Mayor Presti and the Deputy Envoy of the Union Council, who were standing next to Jax, also felt like they had been pricked by needles, and the strong pressure from the dense sight around them almost suffocated.
At this time, the curtain of the third carriage was also opened, and a blue-robed, frost-haired Master Soraka also got out of the carriage with the support of two gray-robed men, and the appearance of Master Soraka finally resolved the gaze that stayed on the weapon master Jax, including Sain, when he saw Master Soraka, Sain's blood-colored eyes condensed violently, and the blood light in his sight actually shot at Soraka like a substance, but the two gray-robed people next to Soraka were sideways in front of Soraka, A faint purple glow protected the two of them, and the other gray-robed man's hand flashed with lightning, and the two blood colors were incinerated clean.
Seeing the strength of the two people around Soraka, Sain no longer tested, and without waiting for the Ionian side to ask questions, Sain himself first opened his mouth to explain, "Hahaha, today I saw the famous Valoran's star patron, prophet sage, and Soraka Master, I was a little excited, my adoring gaze accidentally didn't control the strength, and almost injured the master by mistake, don't blame the master!" ”
As long as the strength reaches the hero level, you can see that Solaka is currently weak. Sain just now, although it is mainly a temptation, but if he can seriously injure Soraka, it is naturally the best, even if it is not successful, you can detect the strength of the two people around Soraka, Sain, can become the supreme commander of the Ionian front, he does have his uniqueness. Soraka knew these things, and on this day, she didn't want to break them, she just smiled slightly and nodded slightly, and this time Sain's tentative move was revealed.
Seeing that Soraka didn't pursue it, Sain waved his hand and ordered, "Come on, show your lords!" ”
More than a dozen guards quickly placed the golden nanmu high-backed chairs that had been prepared in a semicircle opposite Sain's animal skin seat according to the number of people. Although the golden silk nanmu chair is also very classy, compared with the animal skin chair of Sain, not only is the height half lower, but it is placed in such a semicircular state that it feels like a courtier guarding the emperor.
"Guys, what are you doing standing? You may be seated! Seeing that everyone was not seated, Sain deliberately opened his mouth again to invite.
"We don't need to sit down, we can just stand and talk about what we have to say!!" Zelos was annoyed by the sudden attack that Sain had just made against Master Soraka, and then he thought that the person in front of him was the one who had brought blood and fire to Ionia and Presti, and he said angrily at all.
"Stand and talk?? All right! Then you can just stand and talk!! After Sain finished speaking, the blood-colored giant axe next to his right hand swept across, bringing a burst of energy, "Peng! Click! The golden silk nanmu seat in front of him was completely shattered into a pile of wood slag. Sain then glanced at several of the council's envoys, especially Jax again.
"What about you? Are you planning to stand and talk? ”
"Your Excellency Sain, it doesn't matter whether we sit or stand, the important thing is that we rushed to Ionia this time as a mediation envoy with a memorandum of reconciliation in hand, with the will of peace and prosperity on the Valoran continent as a whole, in a sincere and friendly attitude, in order to maintain the stability and harmony of the Valoran continent, and in order to let the heroic soldiers of Ionia and Noxus shed less blood, save their bodies, and devote themselves to ......."
"Shut up !!!" With a direct roar, Sain interrupted the chatter of the Coalition Council's envoy.
"What Valoran prosperity, what peace and stability, it's better to say something useless than something practical!! Don't you want to mediate? OK!! You don't need to get all those paperwork, agreements, mediations and stuff!! If you want peace, you can! I'll give you this chance, but follow our Noxian rules! As long as it can beat the tomahawk in my hand!! I will agree to the withdrawal of Noxus! Do you dare to fight?? ”
"Why don't you dare!" Zelos let out a loud shout and stepped forward.
As soon as the words fell, a blood-colored cold light falling from the sky and a huge murderous aura from the pavement smashed head-on in front of Zeroth, and the Zelos saber in the hurry was only half drawn before it was knocked away by this strong energy, and it fell out dozens of meters with blood in its mouth, and a deep fence was drawn in the square on its back......
"Hairy boy, you're not worthy!! I'm talking about you!! Traitor and Shame of Noxus!! Jax !! How dare you fight me! With a blood-colored battle axe in his right hand, Sain pointed at Jax, who had not said a word. Today, from the 100,000 soldiers singing "Noxus Requiem" in unison, to the placement of the animal skin seats, to the smashing of Zelos with one blow. The "potential" accumulated by Sain has finally reached its peak, and at this moment his eyes have become red with purple, purple with black, this is already close to the state of enchantment. Jax's name as the "Predator" has always been spread in the land of Noxus, and Sain also regarded Jax as a childhood idol in his childhood. But with Jax's departure from Noxus, and then his seclusion until he joined the War College, Sain had only one thought left, which was to kill Jax, replace Jax, and become a new generation of Noxian god of war and military spirit!! This intense obsession far surpassed his desire to rule Ionia.
Jax just stood there quietly, unmoving, like a towering mountain. If Jax feels like a giant mountain, then Sain is like a giant who fell from the sky, holding a giant axe and vowing to split the mountain!! Zeroth, whose mouth was spurting blood, was not unconscious, he was taken to Master Soraka by a gray-robed man for treatment, watching the two men on the other side of the-for-tat, Zelos made such a judgment.
However, this is in the Noxian barracks, where the battle with Sain is fought, whether Jax wins or loses, and the other Noxian soldiers, one side is their spiritual idol and the other side is their supreme commander. What will they do? How will you choose? Subconsciously, Zelos looked at the Noxian generals in the square, as well as the more than 100,000 soldiers in two rows and stretching for several miles...... Hehe, sure enough, the spiritual world of the Noxians, I really don't understand, Zelos sighed secretly.
Sain...... Does it have to be? Jax finally spoke, and it was the first time he had spoken to Sain since he arrived in the square!!
"Yes!! Get out your weapons! Take out that treasure of our Noxus, the King's Blade!! I will defeat you in front of all the soldiers and generals! And then kill you!! I want to tell the Valoran continent, and everyone in Noxus, that the most powerful thing in Noxus will never be a coward, a deserter, a traitor like you!! It's supposed to be me!! The most powerful Sain who opened up the territory of the Noxian Empire!! ”
"Sain, I'm not a Noxian soldier anymore. I don't want to compete with you for the title of the strongest. What's more, the current Valoran Continent is not calm, we should ......"
There was a loud sound that cracked the ground, and a deep, invisible, huge gap appeared on the ground beside Jax, which was the damage caused by Sain's axe, and Sain directly told Jax with his actions, don't be reasonable, the truth of the Noxians is like this.
