Section 205 The shadow behind Svein

On August 5, 373 year of Valoran's new calendar, it had been more than three months since Lux was secretly sent to the countries of the continent and the independent city-states to seek help in dealing with a possible military threat from the neighboring Noxian Empire. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lacking in the desired results, Lux is planning to rush back to the Federation as soon as possible with materials that may contain the Empire's military secrets, so as to give the Federation an advantage in intelligence during the critical period of preparation for war.

Because generally speaking, the large-scale military operations of the Noxian Empire will be carried out in the spring and autumn seasons when the temperature is relatively suitable, after all, the soldiers of the empire are not iron men, and they will encounter more trouble in the summer if they do not have too good logistics capabilities.

While the heads of the various forces who were secretly watching the possible military operations of Noxus were still making defensive arrangements according to the normal schedule, the Noxus Empire under the leadership of Svein had quietly begun to hold the 'Victory Ceremony' in the Glory of War Square in the capital under the strict information blockade.

This time, the 'Glory Executioner' Delevingne, who has recently been in the limelight in the city, failed to appear as the chief sword officer in the cheers of the audience as usual at the sacrificial ceremony, using the blood of slaves and prisoners of war to pray for the blessings from the 'Donbass, the god of war'.

In fact, a depressed Draven was sitting bored in the high seats of the arena, which was first used as a 'festival square', waiting for the moment of shock that the Great General Svein would bring to everyone in the arena with the anticipatory dignitaries and nobles around him.

The grand arena is filled with talkative representatives from among officers, soldiers, nobles, and commoners, who will have the privilege of witnessing the rise of an 'even greater' Noxian Empire!

After today, the empire with the most powerful military power on the continent will no longer be constrained by the Grim Reaper, and with the help of the new divine art that the Great General Svein has painstakingly developed with the combination of unparalleled magic and divine power, the 'God of War Resurrection Technique', the Noxian warriors who have obtained the immortal body will use their sharp giant axes to split all obstacles in front of them.

Compared with the skeptical attitude of most people before, the delegates sitting in the arena talked more about the reunification of the continent in the near future.

Because the vast majority of the people who appear here are carefully selected supporters of Svein's 'fanatical cultists' officers, who will take everything about the 'God of War Resurrection' out of their mouths to all the Noxians.

And as soon as the first white line of morning light appeared in the sky, the entire city of Noxus and the surrounding priests of the god of war began to pray sincerely that they would provide divine support for Svein's compound divine arts.

God is not to be blasphemed!

Even the most die-hard anti-Svein rulers kept their mouths shut after the priests of the god of war began to pray before the gods, all of which proved that the supreme person who held the power of the empire at this moment, His Excellency General Svein, was indeed the only one who had the favor of God.

“…… My goal is pure. Let Noxus break all enemy resistance with great strength! The festival begins! "Standing on a specially made platform in the arena, Svein, who had finished speaking to dozens of senior officers of the expeditionary corps behind him, waved his hand in a rarely inflammatory tone to announce the beginning of the 'God of War Resurrection Technique'.

'Quack~~'

With Svein's vigorous wave of his hand, Beatrice, the blood-eyed raven standing on his shoulder, flapped her wings and flew over the arena, while more black-feathered ravens emerged from the stone pillars at the top of the arena, hovering above Beatrice with some rhythm.

The chatter of the crowd in the arena also stopped neatly at this moment, and people began to cast their eyes to the top of the arena.

In the middle of the arena, Arturo, a monk with sixteen cuffs embroidered with strange markings of clergy, waited for Beatrice's signal, and then excitedly commanded the priests who had been impatient, and began to cast the divine prayer spell.

As Arturo and the sixteen priests chanted, some kind of complex magic circle gradually appeared under their feet, but unfortunately none of the people present knew anything about it, so they naturally regarded it as a compound magic circle that Svein had obtained from the 'God of War Donbass'.

The light of the ground circle became more and more dazzling, and quickly covered all the practitioners in the wide square along the pattern that had already been carved in the square.

These 'people' are the quietest of all time, because they can't be called human in the strict sense of the word.

Yes, the square is densely packed with the corpses of people who died not long ago, all of them are real dead people, and the relatives who sent them to participate in the 'God of War Resurrection Technique' are sitting on it with hope, or waiting outside the arena, hoping that the compound magic of the Great General Svein will succeed.

Among these bewitched corpses, the large corpse of the former 'Warrior Sain' was extremely conspicuous, and compared to the neat and tidy companions around him, the wounds caused by the enemy's sword on the corpse of Warrior Sain were even more vivid. Although it has been stitched, it seems that the military medical skills of the chief knife are not delicate enough, and it will still make some nobles feel very uncomfortable in terms of appearance.

Fortunately, the other corpses that had been treated were carefully cared for by their relatives, making the festival square look more like many people sleeping there.

Arturo and the priests chanted more and more loudly, their rhythmic voices echoing through the arena, the floor of the square was completely covered with a shining light, and the only thing that made the spectators sitting in the lower seats of the front row uncomfortable was that there were many bright black lights swimming in the dark red light that represented the divine power of the god of war in the circle.

That's why Svein never allowed any of the God of War priests to appear in the square, and the only purpose of the circle on the ground was to provide a medium for the god Danatdis to sneak out during the festival!

The so-called new composite divine technique 'God of War Resurrection Technique' is actually just using the divine power provided by the vast number of believers in the Donbass, the god of war, who intends to re-descend to Valoran, to take this opportunity to exert his divine power and resurrect the many corpses in the square.

The god of war, Donbass, can only be in charge of killing, not the priesthood of death, and Svein deceived the whole of Noxus from the beginning!

Poor people of the God of War, if the High Priest of the Temple of the God of War is here, you can see that there is another layer of divine power above the Festival Square, camouflage everything that happens below.

This is the extreme extent that the god Danatdis can exert influence on this world at present, since ancient times, many true gods have been born in the Valoran continent, and there are still many people with demigod powers, he can't go too far now.

Feeling the surging divine power of the god Danatdis, Svein's eyes gradually became feverish on the high platform, all the preparations made for so many years, and all the suffering suffered for this moment was finally coming to an end.

Danatdis, the god of the underworld who has been handed down and holds the priesthood of death, will surely return to this wild continent!

"Ah!!h

"Look!"

"Unbelievable! God of War is on top, this, is this true? ”

With the operation of the two divine powers, the corpse lying quietly in the festival square began to change to varying degrees, raising hands, kicking feet, turning heads... Even closer to the center, there are already corpses trying to get up!

These are real corpses!

Believe it or not, but those who sent the corpses of their loved ones into the square with their own hands, looking at the familiar and moving corpses below, all couldn't help but stand up, Svein really has the ability to bring the dead back to life!!

But it didn't matter if there was a body down there, the big figure standing in the middle of the field at this moment was known to most of the spectators, it was the warrior Sain who had been confirmed to have died in a 'border conflict' months earlier.

"Whew~~~~~~~"

As the other corpses around him struggled to adjust to the state of the moment, the warrior Sain, who had already stood up, raised his head and let out a fierce howl at the sky, and then, his glowing red eyes, began to search for the voice that kept calling him from the darkness.

Turning around, Sain finally found the person on the high platform who was staring at him coldly, and it was the person who made a voice calling him.

With his huge fist raised flat in front of his chest, Sain bowed to Svein, "I will...... Coming back...... I...... It's back! Noxus !! ”

"Oh!!!"

"Noxus!!

"Wan Sheng!"

The officers behind Svein were the first to be mobilized by Sain, and no one knew better than them that this future star in the young officer corps was indeed too dead to die.

Svein's promise to them has been fulfilled, and it will be the time for the immortal Noxian army to fulfill their duty!

All the officers who watched the ceremony flashed with unparalleled fanaticism in their eyes, and the military exploits, wealth, and land at their fingertips waved to them.

One by one in the festival square, one after the corpse got up after Sain, and quietly turned to Svein to make a fist and bow his head.

On the viewing platform, the crowd immersed in the warm and crazy atmosphere gradually stopped dancing, and they also turned to face the gods standing on the high platform one by one, tightly raised their right fists to their chests, and bowed their heads in greeting.

Noxus, which seemed to be a little stormy after experiencing the turmoil of the restoration, the Great Purge, etc., was finally completely won by Svein at this moment.

From now on, their enemies will face a united Noxus!

"Our victory is in sight. Next, the warriors have only one mission, pick up your swords and stab the enemy's body. Noxus, Wansheng!! ”

In the festival square, which was accommodating thousands of people, but so quiet that it could be heard of a pin, Svein's characteristic hoarse voice sounded lonely.

There was another moment of silence, and then Sain in the field raised his head and shouted: "Take me to war!" Shred them apart!! ”

"Tear the enemy apart!"

The crowd was once again enthusiastic, roaring in the arena with more fervent voices than before.

Svein looked at the completely brainwashed crowd in the arena with satisfaction, reached out to pick up Beatrice flying above the arena, and led a group of equally fanatical officers, turned and walked out.

On the Triumphant Square of the God of War, there are still three legions of combat forces waiting for his review.

The glow of the circle in the ceremonial square has long since dissipated, and those who have been resurrected by the 'God of War Resurrection' have been led out of the arena along the passage by Arturo and his priests, and this resurrection legion will be inspected by more Noxians at the subsequent military parade.

However, it is clear that Sain has more important things to do than participate in the parade, he has just received a large axe from the hands of the soldiers, and the subsequent arena will be open to all citizens, and the crowd that has not had the opportunity to watch the ceremony before will have the option to come and watch the duel for a full day.

Before setting out with Svein, the resurrected Sain would spend the whole day filling in the missing part of the expedition - the sacrifices from slaves and captives!

And with the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, he made a resounding prestige for himself: 'Undead God of War'!

Draven was not very satisfied with the General's arrangement, but it did not affect his awe of Svein, and the army of Noxus was about to go on the march, and there were many opportunities for him to perform in the future.

Turning his head to look at Sain, who was standing in the middle of the field with a giant axe, waiting for the passage to the cell below to open, Draven's striking long beard jumped slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Draven is everywhere, hehehehe." See you next time, hunk. ”

The god of the gods only stopped the resurrection for a minute or two, and when all the corpses stood up, they disappeared with Beatrice's flight back, followed by the familiar rhythm of the god of war, and his followers would sacrifice the blessings of the expedition.

Waves of slaves or prisoners of war were told that they would be freed if they killed the man with the axe in the arena, and they walked out into the arena with their less-so-sophisticated weapons, and then exchanged the exciting or boring games for the cheap shouts of the crowds who kept pouring in to watch.

Arturo, who was in charge of the work left behind to supervise the tail sweeping, finally nodded and smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the traces of the magic array that had been gradually destroyed and covered up by the fighting and soaked blood.

'Everything is exactly as Svein predicted, and now it's time to leave for the south......

'Bang Dang'!

The sound of thick chains clashing echoed in the passages between the cells and arenas where the captives were held, and Alista, who had been slaughtered and himself in distress, was escorted by two guards to the lively atmosphere.

There were many cells and passages under the round arena, and Alysta took advantage of the iron fence between the passage and the arena to take a cold look at the possible opponent on the field.

He already knows a lot about Noxus's cruel arena rules, and he is forced to take out two opponents in the arena.

Alista didn't take the initiative to attack them, but his opponent, who had been tormented by the guards to the point of madness, rushed forward with his weapon brandished as soon as he saw the minotaur who appeared in the arena.

In self-defense, Alista ended the lives of both opponents as quickly as possible.

The lucky Minotaur was generously exempted from the audience that time and returned to the prison cell to continue his painful life.

The act of killing people he didn't know just for the entertainment of the nobles was very painful for Alista, and his noble soul made him suffer condemnation and torment, but the strong desire to avenge his people made Alista endure even the pain.

However, for the poor Minotaur, that battle was only the beginning......
