Chapter Twenty-Four: Cutting Silk

Night, starless. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the tall Faust fortress, the lights are still bright. The whipping and crying never stopped, and Raven saddled her rune broadsword as she walked to the barracks step by step. When the night breeze had ceased, she finally came to the tallest tent. There were lights and figures flickering inside, and Raven hesitated outside, but didn't dare to step in for a long time.

Such a tall barracks is clearly a tent that only the commander of the army can have, but there is not a single soldier guarding it around it. Raven's heart was hesitant and struggling, and this powerful warrior seemed to have lost all courage when faced with the owner inside the tent. It wasn't until she heard a long sigh from inside, that the shadow reflected in the tent suddenly grew taller, and a majestic and tired voice reached Raven's ears: "Come in!" ”

Raven pursed his lips and lifted the curtain with his head down. Through the light on the brazier, you can see a tall figure standing in the middle of the tent, Raven walked in step by step, and the face of that figure became clearer and clearer: a square face, high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, deep crow's feet at the corners of the eyes, a pair of very straight sword eyebrows, but always wrinkled, a pair of good-looking sleeping phoenix eyes, but there was always a trace of tiredness in them.

From his gray sideburns, it can be seen that he is no longer young. But this seemingly old middle-aged man is an existence that fears the surrounding countries, and he and another member of the empire are known as the imperial double wall. But in the eyes of the Empire, he is the real god of war, and the other one of the Empire is nothing more than a cunning fox. - He's Svein!

A man from a civilian background, but climbed to the top of the empire step by step. He has fought countless battles, but he has never lost a single one!

However, the ill-fated man has always been riddled with injuries and illnesses, and his official career has also experienced ups and downs.

The man in the tent was the one Raven respected the most. In front of this man, her proud head finally bowed. Without saying a word, he half-knelt in the tent and said astringently: "General, Raven is back to restore his life." ”

Svein looked down at her and asked her, "Did you bring back the head of that Demacian?" ”

"I didn't ...... No. Raven's head was almost sinking to the ground, she didn't know how to face the general's questioning, her heart was full of tension and fear.

There was no sound in the tent for a long time, and the sweat on Raven's forehead fell to the ground one by one. It was a long, long time, until Raven couldn't remember the time, and the man's voice finally came: "Come here!" ”

Dragging up a pair of legs that were already numb, Raven walked in front of Svein step by step with his head down.

"Raise your head!"

Svein's tone became a little harsh, and Raven bit his lower lip with his teeth and stubbornly raised his head. The general in his eyes had an extra sword in his hand, and his eyes were staring at him tightly. Raven's heart tightened: "Could it be that he wants to kill me?" ”

This thought flashed through her heart, and she felt a strong murderous aura rushing towards her, and out of instinct, Raven ducked to the side. Out of the corner of her eye, she could clearly see a sword piercing straight through her previous position. In the sword wind, two strands of silver hair fell from the air, and Raven's ears heard a muffled snort, and Raven's face was shocked: "Is there someone in this tent?" ”

Turning his head, he saw that the sword was stuck diagonally on the wooden post, and the blade was still shaking. From the dark shadow of the long sword, a few drops of bright red blood could be vaguely seen, Raven turned her head, and her eyes instantly opened: the tall man standing in front of her suddenly spurted a mouthful of blood, and the whole person fell backwards with a stagger.

Raven rushed to him in a stride, supporting his body with his hand, Svein's voice became even weaker and tired: "Raven! You, as a high-ranking warrior, have been careless, and you haven't even noticed that there is another person in the tent. ”

Raven lowered her head in shame, she quickly helped Svein to her seat and asked him, "General, who is that person you forced back?" ”

Svein laughed a little, and he said, "Someone who wants to kill me!" ”

Raven asked, "Are assassins so rampant?" Even the barracks were able to enter? Shouldn't you buy more guards? ”

Svein shook his head: "The military camp in Noxus has always been impregnable, they are assassins, and they are also the people in the military camp. The cunning fox is back, and my men are getting ready to move. ”

Raven naturally knew who the cunning fox was, and her eyes revealed worry, Svein turned his head to look at her, and said to her weakly, "Raven! You've let me down so much. ”

Hearing Svein's words, Raven's heart soured, and his eyes condensed with water. She thought to herself: Why aren't you my father?

"You have never been able to do the task I have given you. How can you share my worries like this? Now that the king is old, the fox has also come out, and I am leading the army, which looks beautiful on the surface, but in fact has been driven to a desperate situation! Secretly, the fox's assassin was looking for an opportunity; On the bright side, there are countless eyes staring, as long as I am not careful, I will die without a place to be buried! I thought you would come back sooner, and I would leave the task of escorting the prince to you. Unexpectedly, you went out for half a month before you came back. I had to hand over the prince of Demacia to ...... Ergat. ”

A long sigh was left throughout the tent. Raven lowered his head and said with difficulty, "I...... I'm ......!"

"You've grown up too slowly, you're too young compared to the Imperial Darius, Urgart, and Vladimir. With so many pairs of eyes on the Empire, I can't give you much power. Our old king is so wise that in his life, he has constantly activated and detained me, draining my team in the slightest. These people will never believe me, a civilian. I can only keep winning battles and keep fighting...... If I win the battle, my power will grow and I will die faster and faster. ”

"I haven't said so much for a long time, my body has long been dead, the injuries I suffered in my early years are too serious, and any potions and prayers are useless. Maybe in a few days, I'll be dead. ”

Svein stopped, Raven's eyes were already red, she never thought Svein would tell her so much. In the past, Raven knew that he was picked up by Svein, but he never looked at him, threw her into a civilian academy as a young child, was subjected to cold eyes and bullying, and when he grew up, he took himself to the army, threw himself to the bottom, and climbed up from a sergeant.

Now, Raven finally understood.

"Raven, I beg you something!"

Svein looked at her steadily, Raven was shocked, she could feel how hard Svein grabbed his hand, and his hoarse voice rang in Raven's ears: "I don't have more than a year to live, after I die, you must not let my body fall into the hands of that fox." They bought a technology from Zaun and asked Warwick to experiment with humans. They will resurrect the warriors of the empire through a series of means, but the resurrection will be a beast without a will. This, they believed, was the most sacred commendation of the Empire. But I know that after the resurrection, I will not be the same person again! I have climbed from a commoner to a major general of the empire, I have carried too much glory in my life, I will not be willing to suffer from the fiddling of others after my death, you must agree! Be sure to !! ”

Raven choked up and nodded, "I promise you!" You won't be desecrated against your corpse! ”

"Good...... What a ......!"

Seeing that Svein's emotions had finally calmed down, Raven helped him to the bed to rest. Walking out of the tent and looking up at the dark sky, Raven only then realized what the general was carrying.

In this huge military camp, tens of thousands of subordinates, he can't find a single person who is close to him, maybe he doesn't trust anyone anymore, but does he really believe me?

Raven turned his head and let out a sudden sigh. If he really believed me, how could he let me stay at the bottom for so long?

Raven didn't understand, she didn't know, she didn't even dare to think too much.

Turning to look at her long hair, she suddenly felt extremely troubled, and she always thought of that person involuntarily in her mind. Unconsciously, the corners of Raven's mouth twitched, and she pulled out a dagger from her waist and stuck it to her hair, thinking to herself: I said, if we say goodbye, you and I will be enemies!

With a ruthless heart, her long hair was disconnected.

"Let these troubles go away with the wind! From today onwards, I will stay by the General's side until he leaves. ”

The wind in the night sky rolled up countless silver filaments, and they drifted in the air, not knowing how far they would fly. Tent side. A short-haired female warrior, holding a blue-glowing broadsword in her hand, watched quietly.

There was no sadness in her gaze.
