85 The Shadows Are Coming
It is often said that for the brave, the sea of conquerors will always be sunny. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 But in the depths of this stormy sea, there is a place where you can't see the sun all year round.
It was an island of craggy reefs, obscured by dark clouds, and magic kept the island in a thick fog forever. If there was one word to describe the island, it would be the name of the island. As the name suggests, a place darker than a shadow has also become the darkest and most evil mysterious area in the entire Runeterra.
The history of Shadow Isle is almost as long as Valoran's. Interestingly, Shadow Island can be seen as a mirror image of Valoran. Because when a magic crystal containing endless energy appeared on the continent of Valoran, an extremely evil black energy appeared on the Shadow Island. It is the opposite of magical energy, which can devour everything, even corrupting the mind. Legend has it that there were once people who arrived on the Isle of Shadows, who saw ghostly fires floating in the air and smelled the fear of death in the mist.
But when the legendary island was trampled underfoot, Gavin II had some inexplicable feelings.
"I was expecting it to be colder." Dressed in a heavy tarpaulin cloak, Gavin II turned his face slightly and said to the whitebeard beside him.
"The cold here is not the same as the ice fields in the north, this is a kind of cold that penetrates the soul, although you have a heart of glory of the royal family, but if you stay here for a long time, your body will freeze with your soul." Whitebeard was dressed in a gray cotton robe, and although he had a white beard on his face, he was in the prime of life, tall and tall, standing straight at the bow of the ship.
Whitebeard's name was Tibilopo, and he was the Supreme Commander of Ionia. Behind him and Gavin II, hundreds of warships docked on the rugged reef of the Isle of Shadows, and countless soldiers jumped from their cabins into the icy waters, armed and quickly assembled in the calf-down waters.
"You've got a lot of nonsense."
It was an old man who spoke, unlike Whitebeard, who was lean, with his back bent, and staggered out of the cabin, as if the fierce wind could blow him into the sea at any moment.
However, the men at the bow of the ship maintained a great deal of respect for him, and the white-bearded Tibilopo even bowed slightly to the old man, and stepped aside to make room for him at the side of Gavin II.
"Master Xun." Gavin II addressed the old man with great respect, "Why did you come out now?" Our men haven't assembled yet, and we'll have to wait a little bit here. ”
As Master Xun of the Infinite Dao, he has reached the twilight of his life, but experience and speculation are at the peak of his life at this time. According to the history of the Infinite Dao, the most important thing for the guardians of the Infinite Dao in their twilight years is to find a place to quietly educate their disciples and then sit down. But he didn't expect that at the moment before this battle was about to start, Master Xun actually appeared, and he also brought his disciples to join the battle.
"It's going to be dark," Master Xun didn't pay attention to Jiawen's politeness, he just stared at the island that loomed like a monster in the depths of the thick fog, "The battle has already begun, we can only do our best and give it a go." ”
"Hmph, as if you care about this fight. Xun, in fact, we all know that you just want to bring that young apprentice to the eyes of the world. We all know that you are the fastest at Wuji, and you can escape even if there is any danger. But what if you win? Isn't your little guy named Yi famous? ”
There is only one person in this world who is willing to taunt Master Xun, and who is qualified to taunt him. Yuan.
Yuan is the current guardian of the Equilibrium Sect and a recognized master of education throughout the Land of Runeterra. His four disciples, Twilight Eye, Berserk Heart, Shadow Fist, and Shadow Stream, are all among the top young warriors of this era.
"Huh. We are all about speed, but there is only one direction of extreme speed, and we will not run away. After Master Xun finished speaking, he didn't speak again, just quietly watched the soldiers who were gathering as quickly as ants.
"A team is on my left! The second team is on my right! The captain stood at the head of the team and began to count! I'm going to get people in order in three breaths! ”
A young man in a green army uniform shouted. His voice was full of energy, almost drowning out the roaring wind and waves. He stood up straight with meticulous scrutiny, wielding a black baton in his hand.
The soldiers who jumped from the steel warship were armed with swords and guns, shouting the command to brush and brush, and discharged the array in the sea. These soldiers were a little different from the others. They were fully armoured, but they didn't wear helmets, and each of them had green paint on their faces, and the faces of beasts like green goblins were constantly smiling wildly.
They are Noxus' weeping troops, and they are Noxus' most elite force on the battlefield. And today, under the leadership of Svein, the youngest captain in the history of the Empire, they will fight alongside the former enemies of Demacia and Ionia.
Svein looked at the team members who were like sculptures in the sea and strong winds, and then nodded in satisfaction. He turned, raised his baton, and led the team to break through the water and walk towards the reef on the shore.
Svein's heart suddenly jumped, and he had some ominous premonitions.
Is it the unknown enemy, or the "allies" of those human-faced beasts?
Svein has always been resistant to an alliance with the Ionians of Demacia. Because he knows that these people who hide good and evil deep in their hearts and use morality to hide their desires are actually more terrible than wild beasts. But on the orders of the Führer, he instinctively just carried out unconditionally.
But......
He glanced at the young swordsman who followed him, wearing a strange pair of glasses and not saying a word, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.
Except for the fact that he was ordered to accept this swordsman to fight with him, he knew that his name was Yi, and the rest of Svein did not know anything. He looks like a teenager at most, what role can he play in this fight?
But Svein didn't think much of it, for when he came to the reef, he saw the four obnoxious men.
"Isn't this our little Svein?"
A young female voice floated in from far away.
It was a young girl with blue hair who spoke. She wore a short revealing blue robe, with sharp knives strapped to her legs and back. Her face was covered with the same blue veil, and although she couldn't see her expression, judging by her flirtatious voice, she must be laughing.
"It's hard to imagine this day. The wild dogs of Noxus will also suddenly have a sense of justice. "This time it was a small man who spoke. A yodeler in a ninja costume, to be exact. But no one dared to underestimate this somewhat funny fellow, because he was the famous Berserk Heart Kenan. His temper was surprisingly bad.
"Don't speak. He's an ally now. Shen's voice was low, and he carefully reminded his partner.
"Hey, Svein!"
Unlike the other three, he had already jumped off the reef and rushed to Svein's side with enthusiasm.
"Old friend, Noxus sent you to lead the team this time. You'll be promoted when you go back, right? He put his arm around Svein's shoulders and said with a smile.
"I don't remember you being a friend." Svein coldly pushed the hand off his shoulder away.
"What's going on, how many times have we met? Even last month we were drinking in a small alley in Noxus...... "I was a little depressed."
"But every time we meet, you try to assassinate me. Last time you drank in the alley, you put poison in my wine, didn't you? Svein tightened his grip on the baton, and with a whoosh, the end of the baton revealed its sharp blade.
"Hey, I said you guy......" It seemed to be pierced, and he touched his head a little embarrassedly, "Who are you?" I don't remember Noxus having swordsmen. ”
He easily and naturally changed the subject, and he turned his gaze to Yi beside Svein, but did not receive any reaction from the latter.
Rumble.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and the cold lightning illuminated everything between heaven and earth. He stared at the swordsman with some confusion.
He was a little skeptical if he had just seen him smile.
But when he opened his mouth and laughed, he seemed to see fine steel wires covering his teeth, as if he had a cage in his mouth, and locked his tongue in a deep prison.
