Chapter 88: The Abandoned Son

At the heart of Noxus is a huge fortress that has been heavily fortified and rebuilt countless times, and the Noxians call it the Immortal Fortress, no one knows how long it has existed, but it has always been the symbol of Noxus and the center of political power.

Spiky boulders are scattered all around the fortress, and in the middle is a huge fortress tens of meters high, the exterior of which is rugged and glows silver-gray in the sun. The third general of Noxus ordered tons of molten iron to be poured on the outside of the fortress, giving his fortress a sturdy metal coat.

Eight hundred meters from the main fort was the first wall, and there was only one gate to enter, and at the gate stood hundreds of Noxian soldiers, all of whom were elite soldiers from the General's Guard.

At a distance of 800 meters, there were two more walls, and the closer you got to the inner walls, the more heavily guarded they became, and on the innermost walls, almost every five meters, a soldier was watching ahead.

There is a saying in Noxus: "No one in the world can carry out an attack or a coup d'état in the Immortal Fortress, which has the strongest fortifications and the most elite guards in the world." ”

In fact, the fortress itself can withstand the invasion of large armies, and the combat strength of a few heroes is already very difficult to deal with the battle-hardened defenders inside, not to mention the legendary heroes of Noxus who will be ready to support them.

Two men in black cloaks arrived on horseback from a distance, and after a series of detailed inspections, they finally made their way through the triple enclosure to the halls of the Immortal Fortress.

The hall was dimly lit, and a tall figure sat in the center of the throne made entirely of swords, a symbol of power in all of Noxus.

The two of them cautiously walked to a position more than ten meters in front of the throne, knelt down on one knee, and looked down at the ground with their eyes:

"General, Ionia's operation is going well so far, the three forces are currently approaching Presidium as planned, and it is expected that they can meet in a month, when General Svein will lead them to launch a three-way attack on Presidian, and we expect to capture Presidium within a month."

The man on the throne stood up and looked at the two kneeling on the ground with gloomy eyes. The two saw that the general was slow to react, but they didn't dare to raise their heads to ask. The air around them seemed to freeze, and the long silence unnerved the hearts of the two of them, and just as they were about to take it anymore, the general finally spoke:

"Let the armies of Imistan and Daryl divert their course a week from Presidian and continue their offensive to the east."

The two never expected that the general would give such an order, and one of them finally mustered up the courage to ask:

"General, then General Svein ...... like this"

"He will attract the whole main force of the Resistance in Presidium, so that we can point to the rear and pacify Ionia in one fell swoop, where the war has dragged on for too long and our army is tired." There was an irresistible majesty in the voice.

"You're right, so that the rear of Ionia will be in a state of extreme emptiness...... But what we mean is that General Svein will be left alone, after all the war has been going on for so long, and the resistance in Ionia should not be underestimated. ”

The general still didn't say anything, still staring at the two quietly, which invisibly created great psychological pressure on the two. Dozens of seconds later, the general snorted coldly:

"A woman's kindness. Wars always require sacrifices, otherwise there will be more fighters sacrificed. Plus, who gave you the right to question my decision! ”

When the last sentence was spoken, the bodies of the two people below trembled involuntarily, in Noxus, obedience is unconditional, especially orders from the supreme authority:

"We understand, don't worry, we will pass on your orders to the two generals."

Seeing the backs of the two disappear at the door, General Darkwell sat back on the throne, but at this moment he was no longer the king who was not angry and arrogant just now, but became an old man with a spirit.

When the door was completely closed, the light in the hall became dim again. A slender figure stepped out from behind the throne and stood in front of Darkwell. She watched as the man who symbolized the supreme power of Noxus was as docile as a sheep in front of her, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a beautiful arc.

Darkwell also raised his head at this time, but his gaze at the woman was very dull and empty.

This is the result that the woman wants, she doesn't care about the elemental cores that exist in Precidian, if she can't collect them, an elemental core will not be as tempting to her as the huge empire in front of her. Her scepter floated into the air, and she stepped lightly onto it, and the scepter flew with her toward the deepest part of the Immortal Fortress.

The war in Ionia was completely under her control, and with the Battle of Presidian, large swathes of Ionia's rear soon fell to the attacks of Daryl and Imistan, and her biggest trouble on the throne, Svein, would be buried forever in Presidian, along with the damned ravens.

The scepter stopped suddenly, and the woman fell from it, slowly walking to the front of a large pit. Everyone in the world knows that the core of Noxus' power is located in the Immortal Fortress, but almost no one knows the real reason for this.

The rulers of Noxus would indeed reside here, and this is where all orders are issued. And what really makes this place an immortal fortress is the secret room in front of you that only you can enter. Although Black Rose has long since retired from the stage of history with her fake death, they have been influencing everything about this ancient and powerful empire behind the scenes.

By this time, she had reached the pit, and in the pit was a huge metal armor that seemed to have life, sucking the air around her into the ground.

This armor came from her previous master, and it took a lot of effort for her to move it here—after she killed her master, it was this armor that even they couldn't fully understand for so many years, and it had an inexhaustible amount of energy in it.

Although he retreated into the background, Black Rose did not completely withdraw from the political arena, and I have to admit that Darkwell is a very remarkable guy, and a series of policies after he came to power minimized Black Rose's influence, and many activities can only be carried out in secret.

It's a pity that he doesn't know their hole cards, and the blind pressing finally makes her plan ahead. The Black Rose will once again bloom in the sky above the Immortal Fortress!
