"Captain, we've been on the march for four hours since this morning, so why don't you ask General Imistan for some advice and rest a little in front." A Noxian soldier next to Riven suggested to her.

Unlike most unit commanders, Riven doesn't like horseback riding in her own troops, preferring to be around the most ordinary soldiers, even when she is on the march, she walks in the middle of the queue, looking no different from a normal soldier, except for her striking greatsword.

The reason for this may have something to do with Ruiwen's experience since she was a child.

Unlike most of the top echelons of the Noxian army who come from aristocratic families, Riven was born in an environment where there is no way to even call it family. With her father dying in an unknown battle and her mother dying in childbirth, Riven spent her childhood on a farm at the foot of the rocks of Treville Mountain.

When she was a child, Rui Wen needed to solve the problem of food and clothing by herself, and the fruits of her daily labor determined that she could have a few pieces of coarse grain bread tonight. Noxus is a cold country, and the people here are not so pervasive in sympathy, and they only worship the strong in their hearts.

The long-term farm work has made Rui Wen very different from other children, as a girl, she has always had short hair to make it easier to work, and she wears dirty clothes all year round.

The children don't have a clear view of right and wrong, and bullying the weak seems to be in the nature of Noxians, and the other children on the farm often join forces to bully Riven. Finally, when they once again scattered the haystacks she had worked hard to arrange all over the ground, Rui Wen couldn't help but make a move on them.

She hadn't clashed with anyone before, but the moment her fist slammed into them, she seemed to feel a subtle fusion between her fist and the air currents around her. The boy on the other side was thrown away by her own punch, and looking at the children who had fled, Riven finally realized that she seemed to have a special talent in some way, although she didn't know it was the role of elemental power at the time.

Every year in spring and autumn, the recruiters of Noxus come to the farm to promote the news, which is also Riven's happiest moment. Because on this day, the farm provides plenty of free food for the residents and recruiters to hold a big feast, and Riven can finally enjoy a good meal without being free from manual labor.

Although Rui Wen didn't understand that the purpose of these people's banquets was to send their children to the army, she could still vaguely feel the glory and status brought by the status of a soldier.

In Noxus, entering the army to serve the Empire is the highest ideal of every inhabitant. In such an environment, Rui Wen more or less yearns for the troops. She has never been needed since she was a child, but when she watched the recruitment propaganda performances again and again, Rui Wen felt the call of the empire to her.

Finally, when she was fourteen years old, when the recruiter came to the farm again, Riven stood up to him and said her request.

"Just you? Want to be a soldier? I'm afraid you won't be able to put the smallest armor in the armory room on. One of the officers who came at that time looked at the thin little Ruiwen.

But Ruiwen didn't want to wait any longer, she was tired of the day-to-day farm life, and her teens were the most rebellious and curious about the world, and she wanted to pursue her dreams.

Ruiwen stubbornly stood in front of the recruiter, and when the other party tried to push her away, Ruiwen instinctively made defensive movements. She didn't know how much force she had used, but the fact was that the recruiter, who was a few heads taller than her, had been thrown out by her.

The eyes of everyone around them widened until another recruiter delivered an enlistment form to Rivan. As said before, the Noxians worship the strong.

Rui Wen didn't know how to use her elemental powers, she only showed her talent in some unexpected situations, and the endurance and will trained by long-term work on the farm allowed her to meet the requirements for enlistment, and with the improvement of food, her body also developed rapidly.

At the beginning, Rui Wen, like all ordinary soldiers, did the most basic and tiring work, digging trenches, transporting supplies, and building military facilities were her daily work at that time. At that time, the other soldiers in the army paid attention to her only because she was a rare female soldier in the barracks.

Where the ratio of men to women is out of balance, a girl full of youth always triggers the hormones of bachelors, but after a soldier trying to harass Riven is broken by her in a few ribs, no one wants to pay attention to her.

With some simple battles and some experienced fighters taught, Riven's talent was gradually revealed. And as she grew older and explained by the people around her, she gradually understood the concept of elemental powers and began to try to use them.

The real turning point in Riven's fate occurred at a gladiatorial tournament in the Immortal Fortress.

Every year, Noxus selects the best warriors from the various barracks to duel in the gladiatorial arena, and eventually the winner of them can be promoted in the army.

As an elected participant in her own army, Riven came to the gladiatorial arena of the Immortal Fortress for the first time. Seeing the cheering crowd around her, Rui Wen seemed a little uncomfortable, she was not the focus of people's attention since she was a child.

Amid the deafening cheers, Riven knocked her opponents to the ground one by one, and finally, she was the only one standing in the field.

Just as she was about to leave, a man with a mustache jumped from the stands, still holding a pair of spinning axes.

"My name is Draven, I'm in charge of supervision here this year, you're very strong, I'm interested, if you can hold on for three minutes, I can recommend you to my brother's unit as a squadron leader."

Rui Wen looked at the mustache curiously:

"Who is your brother?"

"Darius, I'm sure you've heard of it."

Riven is certainly no stranger to this name, Darius is a legend in the Noxian army, and it is the dream of every soldier to serve in his army. Rui Wen clenched the hilt of the knife in her hand, carefully observing the mustache in front of her, he still had a casual expression, this expression Rui Wen was not unfamiliar, but the guys who despised her before had already become her subordinates.

During the battle with those guys just now, Riven only used fifty percent of her strength, and now that she was going to give it her all, she was going to teach this conceited guy a good lesson.
