Chapter 19

Du Kekao recounts what he knew about his expedition to the permafrost tundra thirty years ago. It is basically consistent with the information that Augustus got on the permafrost tundra a year ago. The three main forces in the permafrost tundra today are the Dervishes, the Eastern Claws, and the Ice Shooters. Regardless of the tribe, they all hope to dominate the permafrost tundra and restore the supreme glory of Ferreljord hundreds of years ago.

From Du Kekao, who had been following Ferreljord, Augustus also received very important but very unfortunate news for him, the leader of the Ice Shooter tribe, Queen Ash the Ice Shooter, has found the weapon of Queen Avarossa, who once made a name for herself and completed the feat of unifying Ferreljord and defeated the mighty Noxus, the Ancient Ice Bow, and is now conquering the small tribes of the permafrost tundra at a very fast speed, thus making the Ice Archer tribe the most powerful tribe in the permafrost tundra.

In the words of Du Kekao, with the leader of the dervishes, Princess Mavle, now old, and the Wintertalon tribe weak, if the new queen of the Ice Archer tribe, Ash, is given a few years, Ferreltrud, which has been divided for hundreds of years, may be reunited.

This was not good news for Augustus, who was about to lead the expeditionary force into the permafrost tundra. Half a year ago, he entered the permafrost tundra with the expeditionary force, and only one tribe of ice archers expelled them from the permafrost tundra in one day???

"It is necessary to settle in the permafrost tundra before the unification of Ferreljord!" Augustus immediately made up his mind, stood up and looked at Du Kecao who was sitting on the obsidian chair with a flat expression, and smiled a little helplessly: "Thank you, General Du Kekao, for your guidance, according to the current situation, it seems that my expedition plan has to be advanced. ”

"Are you scared?"

Augustus smiled bitterly and said without concealment: "How can you not be afraid? A year ago, I traveled to the permafrost tundra with the Knights of the Expeditionary Force of Noxus, and was attacked by the Ice Shooter Tribe. Directly routed, fled back to Noxus. Now that the Ice Shooter tribe is about to unify Ferreljord, it's no less than the goddess of doom throwing a wink at me again! ”

"You can choose not to!"

Augustus smiled indifferently and said coldly, "Don't go? Honorable General Burnham will not let me live past tomorrow. I'm still self-aware of this. Go, I still have a chance of life, if I don't go, I'm waiting for death. No one in this world can disobey General Burnham's orders, not including General Du Kekao! ”

Du Kekao smiled brightly. He did not refute Augustus's slightly provocative words, and responded bluntly: "As Burnham, the Noxian authority, his majesty does not allow anyone to provoke. Even I, or any of the five major families of the Imperial Capital, would never dare to challenge the majesty of General Burnham without sufficient interests, which is equivalent to a monkey not daring to wage a war against a lion! ”

Augustus looked at Du Kekao's eyes, which seemed to be able to see through his soul, and sighed in his heart, "I understand this path!" Therefore, I had no choice but to follow General Burnham's instructions and go to the permafrost tundra. ”

The room was quiet for a while, and suddenly Du Kecao asked, "Do you want to be a superior?" ”

Augustus nodded honestly and said, "No one wants to be forever subservient to the feet of others and be a subordinate without any sense of security!" ”

"Then let's work on it! Augustus! ”

He stood up, and General Du Quecao walked up to Augustus, patted the very serious late army in front of him, and said, "Whether as a knight or a soldier. The battlefield is always their best home! Augustus, I want you to remember what I said: a subordinate needs not only the ambition to be a superior, but also the strength and patience to be a superior! But the most important thing is not to forget the fact that you are still in the position of the inferior. Only such a person may be able to put on the rich robes of the symbolic ruler or to wear the crown and cane that symbolize power. ”

Augustus's eyes widened, and he stretched out his hand to give a standard military salute to the unsmiling general in front of him. Then he bent down, bowed his head, and replied respectfully and sincerely: "Yes, General Du Kekao." ”

Forthwith. Augustus walked out of the hall.

Looking at the back of Augustus leaving, this person has a very high voice in Noxus, but he is different from the ordinary nobleman who is keen on banquets. The imperial general, who liked to be alone, had a cold look in his eyes and laughed softly: "Whether it is Octavian, who has excellent strategic vision, or Augustus, who has extremely high intelligence, calm reason, and first-class political vision, these heroes who are still climbing to the top of the empire are just pawns that have been delegated to power by the superiors. Perhaps only one of these pawns can climb the coveted throne of power, but for Burnham and for me, who will remember the pawns that fall in the path of the superior? ”

"This is the real Noxus."

Time has drowned many secrets in the long river of history. How many people can imagine that this old-fashioned and indifferent Noxian army spirit was the same fierce man who killed nearly 200,000 soldiers of Demacia in the Donopern River valley without blinking an eye thirty years ago?

How many people still remember that this Noxian military spirit once broke into the heavily guarded St. Peter's Castle with a knife, and took off the crown symbolizing Noxus's dominance with an outrageous iron wrist, and also removed the head by the way??

The true secret is always hidden in the darkness, and only those who have the opportunity to ascend to the position of the superior can have the opportunity to explore the darkness that cannot see the fingers of the hand, and perhaps gain insight into the treasure of information in the darkness that is enough to kill the opponent, and of course, it may be buried forever in the darkness where the fingers cannot be seen.

――――――

In the gloom of the hall slowly walked a young man who stood respectfully behind General Du Qucao like a shadow.

General Du Kekao did not look back, and said: "Your friend is going to the permafrost tundra, don't you want to see him?" This could be the last time you'll see him! ”

"I've seen him, and if it's the last time I've seen him, why should I be in his presence? Tyrone is no longer the Tyrone of the Stambod Forest in the past, and Tyrone doesn't need friends now, it's too cumbersome! ”

Du Kecao nodded slightly, and then said, "I had a question in front of the door just now, who can conquer my daughter of General Du Kekao, that thorny rose Katrina?" Was it the strong-willed Octavian? Or is it the outrageously sane Augustus, or is it Tyrone, the god of death hidden in the dark? Tyrone, can you give me an answer? ”

Stanbo's cold and old-fashioned civilian Tyrone, who is now the enemy of Noxus, and now the Shadow of the Blade Tyrone, who is as famous as the Night Hunters of the Demacian Empire in the Holy War, replied with the usual indifference and reason: "Lord Du Kekao, I can give you an answer, Tyrone will never and will not conquer your daughter Miss Caterina, an assassin hidden in the dark, whether it is friendship or love, it is a luxury and trouble!" They could only slow down the speed and power of my strike, and put me in the midst of death. ”

General Du Kekao, who has always been known for his taciturn among the nobles, had a lot to say today, and he turned his head and looked at Tyrone, who had a cold expression but no momentum on him, and asked, "What if one day you fall in love with Katarina?" ”

"Kill her!" Without any hesitation, Tyrone said.

Hearing this, General Du Kekao did not show any annoyance, but smiled and patted Tyrone on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I really look forward to the day when I can see my Du Kekao's most outstanding daughter and my most proud disciple engage in a bloody fight?" Maybe it will be the best memory of my life! ”

Tyrone turned in silence and hid himself in the darkness again.

In the darkness, Tyrone took out a dagger from his chest, pressed his thumb against the blade, and instantly crumpled it in half. He muttered to himself in a voice that he could only hear, "Cumbersome, Assassins don't need cumbersome!" ”

――――

At the door, under a plane tree, Augustus stood for a long time.

Looking at the quaint and solemn houses standing tall, he sighed softly: "Cultivate for three years, wait for three years, this fruit has been picked after all!" ”

Spun around, with a slightly heavy step, and left.

――――――

"Noxus has no shortage of heroes, only pillars! Augustus, if you can conquer Ferreljord, I will give you the crown of the Great, and if you can hold out on the permafrost tundra for a year, then I will bring you into the center of power in Noxus, if not? Then you will be a corpse lying on the permafrost tundra! ”

St. Peter's Castle, Burnham patted Augustus on the shoulder.

At that time, Augustus agreed to this proposal, and immediately smiled and put forward a condition to Burnham!
