At the edge of the harbor, Caterina shrouded in a wide cloak was accompanied by Tyrone, who had long been accustomed to cloaks, and stepped on a merchant ship of the Noxian Chamber of Commerce. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Standing on the empty bow deck with no other passengers, the two quietly admired the beauty of the harbor in the province of Gherlin, the southernmost part of the ancient kingdom of Ionia.

'Bell, bell, bell'

Not long after, the bronze bell of the merchant ship preparing to set sail came from the cabin, and looking at the sailors rushing back and forth around him, Tyrone finally couldn't help but ask the daughter of the person he admired the most, "When did you decide to join forces with pirates?" ”

"Not too long, about before getting to Garrin. How? ”

Caterina, who had already removed her hood, heard the Killer King's inquiry, but replied simply without looking back, her eyes still lingering on the port city built on the edge of the forest.

Then Tyrone showed a rare side of patience in addition to killing, and continued without hurry: "Maybe you should have planned earlier, I don't want to miss the battle in the near future." And how are you going to reply to future 'High Command' reproaches for your disobedience? ”

"The High Command is more concerned about the success of their military operations, and the United Pirates are also contributing to the unification of Noxus, and we already have our own forces by then, so it will probably only be some minor punishment."

Caterina finally withdrew her gaze and reached out to gently stroke the horrible wound that had been hidden by her long hair, since she had this wound, she no longer acted with the same momentum as she did when she was younger, "I don't want to miss the battle, but first we need to figure out something - what caused my father to go missing." I don't want to be seen as a fool after my hands are soaked in the blood of the enemy. ”

Hearing Caterina's whisper, Tyrone quietly and quickly swept over the sailors on the deck to make sure that no one could eavesdrop on the conversation between the two, before frowning and saying in a deep voice, "You suspect Svein?" ”

"Tyrone, ever since you swore to follow my father, I have treated you like a brother. The men on this ship are all infallible people loyal to my father, and we can feel free to talk about the current great general, how about it? ”

Caterina, who had beautiful burgundy hair, seemed to have finally let go of some of the burden on her shoulders after saying this, and the girl who had many old things in her mind did not notice that when she spoke of 'brother', the man beside her who was full of strength frowned briefly.

However, in the belligerent underground world of Noxus, the man who can make the title of 'Shadow of the Blade' is extremely determined, Tyrone quickly adjusted his mentality, and began to think according to Carter's guidance: "Svein... Ruthless and spicy, he sat on Du. Before the position of Lord Kekao, he got rid of a lot of powerful competitors. ”

After a slight pause, Tyrone thought of some of the rumors circulating in the army about the new general's change in the dark environment. He added with a little hesitation: "It's just...... Svein likes to keep himself secret, and I heard that he rarely leaves the General's office. ”

"I think Svein is covering up something." The merchant ship began to slowly move away from the berth, and the breeze stirred Caterina's red hair, making it more difficult to hide the scars on her face, so she frowned slightly, and said what she was thinking without waiting for Tyrone to continue, "If you find out what he wants to hide, you may be able to find clues to my father's disappearance." But Svein won't want us to see that what we need now is time, and time will eventually reveal the truth about everything. ”

Tyrone followed the lady beside him to the cabin, in his opinion, these scars on the warrior's body were more like an honor, his eyes slid over the terrible scars, and before he walked into the crowded cabin, he finally asked: "So you have formed an alliance with those people in the young officer corps who want to get the position of great general, and you also deliberately rushed to save them last time?" ”

Hearing Tyrone's question, Caterina paused slightly and replied softly, "Yes, no matter what the original intention of our alliance is, but in the end, it is to make Noxus stronger. What about Svein? We don't know anything about his beliefs! ”

……

In Noxus City, the dungeon prisoner's escape from prison, which he thought was certain to die, began to become uncontrolled by the limited prison guards with the strong support of a new dark mage.

Many of the old aristocrats in prison were constantly being rescued in an organized manner, and the rescue of these commanding prisoners led the overcrowded prison to a larger riot, with more and more corpses left behind by the jailers.

Faced with prisoners dozens of times his size and agitated, the warden could only lead the surviving jailers to take advantage of the temporary advantage in equipment to hold the military station in a corner, and constantly send requests for help to the High Command.

Faced with a situation that had never been encountered since the founding of the country, the officers on duty of the Supreme Command did not dare to dictate their authority, and immediately submitted a report of a large-scale riot and escape of prisoners held in the largest prison on the outskirts of the city to the supreme leader of the Noxus military junta, General Svein.

However, in order to avoid being dealt with for dereliction of duty afterwards, the officer on duty still issued martial law for the entire city as soon as possible, and asked all troops within the city to raise the combat readiness level to the highest level and wait for the latest orders from the general at any time.

Therefore, although he was to set out for the western border the next day, Darius, as the commander of the regiment with the most soldiers in the vicinity of Noxus City at the moment, was immediately ordered to be ready to quell the rebellion as soon as the decision of the High Command was made.

"Oh......?"

Looking at the latest order that the herald staff officer hurriedly handed to him, Darius couldn't help but express his surprise in a long word, it seems that Svein seems to be in a lot of trouble?

As a battle-hardened Predator, Darius is not only quickly assembling legions, but also constantly thinking about how to use the power of thunder to defeat these bold old nobles in the prison.

It was difficult to quickly transition an army ready for a long journey into a state of imminent battle, but Darius's bold personality gave him the advantage: everyone immediately assembled outside the barracks in the same state as they had received the order - couldn't a Noxian warrior without weapons deal with a few clowns?

While Darius outside the city was quickly mobilizing his soldiers, outside the military government office building in the city, Svein, who had received the report, got into a wide carriage and drove to the prison on the outskirts of the city without taking more soldiers.

Soon, all the army commanders in Noxus City who had completed their mobilization or were preparing for the chicken and dog were receiving new orders from the High Command: the General had gone to deal with the prison riot himself, and the troops were withdrawn from combat readiness and remained on alert.

Hanging the great axe in his hand back to his broad back, Darius muttered to himself in confusion, "Svein went alone?" What does he want to do?! ”
