Therefore, Darius, who was not slow to have a political sense, knew that he might be being overshadowed not long after receiving the order to suppress him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although claiming to be king. Riscario of Chux and Karen, the youngest son of the 'Undead Commander'. Darkwell, it's not a nuisance, but Mysticism and Gregory and his Shadow Witch wife aren't easy to deal with.

Darius, who was secretly wary at first, also cautiously and quietly sent someone to keep an eye on it, and the leaders of these two organizations that pursued dark secret knowledge found that there were indeed people from the old nobles who communicated with them frequently, and Darius really believed that these two huge troubles were not the bombs that Svein deliberately stuffed himself.

So he was loyal to the empire, and in the past few days he has been busy leading troops loyal to the junta, trying to surround several intent governments without showing a trace. The old aristocratic domain became a domain.

And tonight, from the all-pervasive and omnipotent spy network, the old aristocrats, who have all the vigilance of the junta's actions, are ready to start a political campaign in advance. Change.

Therefore, even if he was not fully prepared, Darius decided to take the three detachments of the Iron Hand Legion, the most powerful force he relied on, to launch a city-wide manhunt, and the facts proved that his decision was extremely correct.

The well-trained soldiers divided the old nobles, leaving the plotters to fight in a panic, and the hasty old nobles were already foreshadowed by the fact that they had no choice but to fight in a panic, as it was difficult to communicate with other accomplices outside the battle line.

Darius assigned most of his soldiers to Riscalio and Karen. Darkwell's estates and castles, quickly and effectively resolved the greatest destabilizing factors near the capital.

At the same time, he made a decision, and with one of his most trusted squadrons, the Iron Hand Legion, he rushed to the Mystic Warlock Order's headquarters somewhere in the Old City.

Strings of torches dispel the darkness of the neighborhood, and the locals who watch the bustle hide behind closed doors and windows, a habit they have developed for a long time, because in the old town of Noxus, even just watching the bustle can cause countless disasters at any time.

Ignoring the eyes that were peeking at him, Darius himself stepped forward and knocked on the door of the Warlock's organization.

'Knock, knock, knock! ’

He knocked on the courtyard door so politely, as if the soldiers behind him did not exist at all, but had come alone to a friend's banquet.

Darius, who was standing outside the courtyard gate with his sword, didn't wait too long, and the leader of the Mystic Warlock Order, Gregory. Hasta appeared in the doorway.

The powerful warlock also came out to open the door for Darius himself, and it was an invisible battle between the two sides, and neither of them was left behind.

However, Drius's next move surprised Gregory a little: the commander of the bold young military junta took a step forward and walked into the courtyard of the warlocks as if no one was around, while the soldiers behind him just approached the human wall, blocking the efforts of the surrounding guys who wanted to cast their eyes into the courtyard.

Although the two had different positions, Gregory still admired the courage of the young officer in front of him, and after Darius walked into the courtyard, Gregory's wife, Amorien, who was known as the 'Shadow Witch', also appeared at the window on the first floor, this beautiful and dangerous woman, with an icy gaze at the young officer who made the act of sending him to death.

Under the watchful eyes of his soldiers and enemies, Darius quickly spoke: "Master Gregory, Lady Amoline, I'm sorry to disturb you at this time. ”

Darius, who seems to have a rough appearance, put a lot of thought into this title, and sure enough, as soon as this statement came out, the coldness in the expression of the 'Shadow Witch' in the window seemed to dissipate a little, but what really mattered was the attitude he showed at the moment.

After getting Gregory's nod to indicate that it was okay, Darius's words this time attacked the two masters who had achieved high achievements in the field of magic like a sword: "The restoration of the old aristocratic plot has been thwarted by the military government, I don't know what the two masters who have been bewitched by the remnants of the Darkwell family are going to do now?" ”

Even though there was still fighting in the old aristocratic manor outside the city, Darius was confident that he would claim it, because the army had blocked the government. All the communication channels of the mutants, the battlefield is now one-way transparent to the junta.

For any political . Changeables must keep their actions secretive before the official start of the operation.

So now that the dignitaries from the junta were standing in the garden, even if Darius didn't say anything, the wise warlock leader knew that they were in a bad situation.

Gregory, who was also relying on him, did not panic when he heard what Darius said, he glanced sideways at his wife, and finally said in a deep voice: "It's none of Karen's business." Even without them, there will be people who will stand up against you, who are in Noxus and rule by power. ”

Oh?

The warlock leader's words made Darius, who had always held the initiative in the conversation, raise his exaggerated brow, is this what these mysterious mages in front of him really think?

After a brief but quick thought, Darius tentatively asked Master Gregory, "So, what do you want?" ”

"People can't choose where they come from, but at least they have to be able to decide their future." There was a gleam in Master Gregory's eyes, and it was the light that represented the hope of the Noxian intellectuals, "People's lives should not only be war and aggression, but power should not only represent destruction, but also set an example for changing the world." ”

The world that the magicians envisioned would not appear in Noxus, or at least it would not be possible to realize it in the short term, so Darius, who had the answer, did not spend even a second thinking about this question.

He was more concerned about what these warlocks would choose next: "Master Gregory, according to the secret information I have learned, there have been many magicians and knowledgeable people living here recently...... Because of these people who deserve our respect, I only brought a squadron of soldiers, and I hope that the two masters will not disappoint me? ”

At the moment, he has more power in his hands than those who wield swords. The Changeling, the leader of the more terrifying and deadly Warlock Order, faced Darius, who only had more than twenty men with him, was silent for a long time before asking a familiar question: "What do you want?" ”

"Stability, when Noxus launches a major military operation in the future, the territory of the empire must be stable, and the capital is the most important thing......" Darius did not hesitate to put his bottom limit in front of the warlocks, "For the sake of future stability, we don't mind a little trouble at the moment." ”

The three main legions, which had already been rotated and were about to set foot on the front line, were waiting in the barracks outside the capital, and if these magicians who had mastered dangerous powers did not accept his advice, then they would no longer see the sunrise the next day.

Of course, Darius wasn't a fool who could only put pressure on him, and he offered a new solution before the Warlock's leader, the Husband and Wife, made a risky move: "Personally, though, I don't like trouble. I've heard that magicians have many strange spells? If I'm gone before I arrive, there's not much I can do, right? ”

Then, without waiting for Gregory's answer, he drew an end to the meeting: "Ideals are things that only living people have the right to pursue." Your husband and wife have ideals, and I have my ideals, and I hope that after tonight we all have the right to pursue them. ”

With that, Darius removed the large double-edged axe hanging from his back and stood in the garden of the Warlock's organization quietly waiting for a reply.

The 'Shadow Witch' Amorien walked out of the room slowly, and came to her husband, who was confronting the military government dignitaries in the garden.

As the young officer said, people have a future, even if they can easily eliminate a squadron of soldiers in front of them, but as Noxians, they will never be able to fight against their homeland, and the magicians are only disappointed in the military junta that rules the empire, and they do not have much desire to control the country's politics.

The answer is obvious, these magicians who pursue dark occult knowledge and loose political structures have no choice but to become social outcasts.

The decision was made, and the next thing was very simple for them who had mastered the powerful magical power, and more than a dozen high-level magicians under the leadership of Gregory began to prepare for the construction of a temporary portal in an orderly manner, and in the darkest period of the morning, the mages who completed the construction of the temporary portal began to instill magic power into the nodes of the magic array.

As the magic power of the magic array gradually filled, the entire garden was filled with a dazzling blue light.

However, the hidden circle that Gregory and his wife Amorien had arranged around the garden in advance obscured all movement here.

Then, as the only spectator, Darius watched without saying a word as dozens of magicians and famous scholars from the capital walked into the portal that was as wide as the devil's mouth.

Only at this time did he understand how powerful the warlock couple in front of him was, and that these people should not be all of their organization, they should only be the people who were gathered for the restoration operation that was about to be launched.

The people in the manor had evacuated, and the shadow witch, who had not said a word during the entire evacuation process, waved her hand lightly around, and then nodded to the still Darius with her husband, and the two slowly retreated into the portal that was about to dissipate at the same time.

As they entered, the magic power of the precisely calculated magic circle was exhausted, leaving only the complex and mysterious magic circle diagram on the ground.

But this magic array, the warlock and his wife were not prepared to leave it to the military government, and Amorien, who waved four times before leaving, left countless fire elements in the garden.

After a brief magical reaction in the air, at the moment when the magic array lost its brilliance, an inextinguishable fire suddenly ignited.

The blaze forced Darius and a squadron of the 'Iron Hand Legion' soldiers he brought with him far away, and the vigilantes who were alarmed by the fire hurried with fire-fighting equipment, but were stopped by the soldiers of the 'Iron Hand Legion', who could only watch the shocking fire from the same distance.

Fortunately, for some unknown reason, after the fire burned down the entire manor, it slowly extinguished itself and did not spread around.

Of course, because they were too close to the place that was roasted by the high temperature, those poor masters could only consider themselves unlucky, without the power of the fire element controlled by the mage, they could not continue to ignite other buildings, and it was already the 'Shadow Witch''s attainments in this field that were amazing.

This group of political and social exiles of the gray order left their neighbors 'quietly' and continued to go somewhere on the continent in pursuit of their dark mystical knowledge.

Before dawn, the army that was attacking the last castle of the old nobles was boosted after bringing back the magicians who had already withdrawn and 'eliminated' the powerful magicians.

On the other hand, the old aristocratic army, which had lost its last support, was immediately crushed, except for a few die-hard guards, the rest of the sergeants chose to abandon their weapons and surrender.

With the squadron soldier who had been 'fighting' with the Warlocks but was unscathed, Darius walked into the hall of the castle.

All the old nobles hiding in the castle are concentrated here with dejected expressions, including the self-proclaimed king. Chu's incompetent playboy Riscalio, and the real mastermind of this restoration, the son of the former 'Immortal Commander', Karen . Darkwell.

After several detachments of non-subordinate sergeants searched the last stronghold of the old aristocracy, Darius headed for the office of the Grand General of the High Command with the list of prisoners drawn up by the adjutant.

Not long after, Svein, the general of Noxus City, who was standing on the window and watching, received a notification from the guards outside the door that Captain Darius, who was in charge of the entire purge operation, was already downstairs.

"Oh? Very interesting... Let him come to my office. Svein gently stroked the ghost-eyed crow on his shoulder and ordered the guards who had been briefed.

After he was the only one in the room, Svein said to himself, "I didn't expect him to finish off those nasty warlocks so quickly?" It looks like we're going to have to make some adjustments to our original plan...... Heard that Darius has a brother who loves to be in the limelight? Maybe we can do a more efficient strategy ......"

Hoarse whispers like sawwood echoed in the dimly lit General's office.

……

It was a refreshing breakfast aboard the Lucky Sea, because the fat chef tugged at his throat early in the morning to inform the passengers that they would be able to reach the end of the trip, the 'City of Progress', Piltover at noon today.

Most of the passengers on the ship cheered with joy, except for Ezreal, who had a strange atmosphere at their table.

The warrior monk Li Qing probably didn't have too many expressions when the ship sank, and of course, Timo, who was somewhat seasick, stood on the stool and waved his hands for the first time, but then he found that his companions didn't seem to show much enthusiasm for arriving at the port, so the yodel scout, who was still on the stool, asked a little strangely: "What's the matter, partners?" Don't you like the feeling of being down-to-earth? ”

Tristana looked at Ezreal and Lux with awkward expressions amusedly, and couldn't help but laugh while singing: "I don't care~~ Little cannon girl, rarely worry ~ Look at the fireworks around ~"

And the fat chef in the restaurant, who announced that the passenger ship was about to arrive, was biting his fingers and muttering to himself after calculating his income and consumption: "Strange? What's wrong? Feel like the number of sausages and bacon isn't quite right? ”

After thinking about it, the fat head chef turned around and shouted at his men: "You fools, go and count me the sausages and bacon again!" Besides, if I know which of you dares to steal food, I will tell the captain and ask him to throw that one into the sea!" ”
