June 13, 216 in the continental calendar.

The second day of the Demon Slayer Alliance's arrival in Noxus.

The pace of advance was not as fast as expected, but at the request of the commander-in-chief Ezreal, it was even more slowed down.

So much so that by the evening of this day, they had only traveled what they could have covered in half a day.

Naturally, the entire Demon Eradication Coalition Army has a disapproval of this matter.

Originally, for a person like Ezreal who didn't have any reputation at all, at least, at the level of the entire continent, his fame was not enough, and there was no reason for him to assume the important position of the commander-in-chief of this demon slaying alliance, and the criticism in the entire demon slaying alliance was big enough.

And now this incident makes everyone wonder if the parliament deliberately wants to lose this war, so it sent such a person who does not understand military strategy at all to take on such an important task as coordinating the overall situation.

Because anyone with a little military knowledge should have clearly understood, at least the most basic homework on the whole of Noxus before entering the army.

Knowing that in its entire country, in the whole territory, there are only people left in that royal city who are alive, and all other places are dead.

It was a lonely city, as long as you brought your troops under that lonely city in one go, and then with the absolute superiority of troops, it was impossible for Noxus to recover a little vitality, and it was enough to directly crush it to win.

It should be said that this is an incomparably simple expedition, and anyone, as long as he is not an idiot leader, can almost get the capture of the royal city of Noxus, which is not a peerless but rare enough honor.

His name could easily leave its mark on the history books.

Because of Noxus. It is simply impossible to make sufficient preparations in such a short period of time, and almost all of its elite troops have been killed in previous wars.

And even with the addition of the troops transferred from the East China Sea by the newly crowned King of the Eastern Realm, it is impossible to reverse the absolute disparity in strength.

Because, they are, assembled. An army of the elite of the entire continent.

In this world, it is impossible, there is no more powerful army than them.

Therefore, Ezreal's caution has to make people suspect that he is stalling for time, or rather, he is an idiot and a coward.

Whichever point it is. There is no doubt that Ezreal's already poor reputation in the entire Demon Slaying Coalition has directly turned into a negative number.

And when it comes to loyalty, oh my god, there's no way there's going to be that kind of thing.

Had it not been for the fact that the mountain of parliament weighed down on everyone's heads, and had it not been for the day of the expedition, Lalivash would have given Ezreal the supreme privilege of immunity.

There are definitely people who will storm Ezreal's tent. Loudly reprimanded him, saying that he was a fool who did not know anything about military affairs.

And those grumpy snowy mountain people. is more likely to cut off his head directly and take his command.

But that qiē is impossible.

Because Ezreal, who now represents the Parliament, is Lalivash.

He's there, just like Lalivash. Visit.

So he's still sitting peacefully in his tent.

Squinting slightly, you can feel the wonderful feeling of summer heat after regaining your human body.

He didn't care at all.

Ezreal didn't care what the people out there were saying.

Because he knew that they didn't know what kind of opponent they were about to face.

That's one. No matter how cautiously careful, it is not too terrible to be a terrible opponent.

He had suffered too many losses at the hands of that man.

He didn't want to lose again.

Because he can't afford to lose.

He now has a fiancée, the power he will have that will cover the entire continent, and the great feats that will go down in history.

He is the pride of the sky, he was, is, and should be.

He didn't want to lose again, to that hateful guy.

Just this time, he's going to win.

"Your Excellency." A dark voice rang out from a dark corner.

It was the man he sent out who came back.

"Yes." He just sighed, noncommittal, en, even a bit like the terrifying figure sitting on the balcony by the lake.

In the past, his childish pride made him think that such actions were stupid and contrived, but now he knew that these things were the true, source of pride.

"They...... There doesn't seem to be anything abnormal, well, or ......" The voice paused, as if it was a little confused, and after considering the words, it said, "It's very abnormal, they don't seem to be ready for this battle at all, the whole city is preparing for the wedding, I think ......"

"Fraud?" Ezreal was short about his assessment.

Of course, he wouldn't really just slow down his march on the surface to fend off the danger that might exist.

In fact, before he set out, he sent his own men to Noxus to investigate possible anomalies.

He knows what kind of person the other person is, so he must do that, even, transcendence.

Therefore, no matter how much investigation is necessary, no matter how big or small, it is necessary.

Because maybe, the key to breaking the game is in it.

"Indeed...... Something is not normal. The voice didn't dare to make a conclusion, but replied ambiguously, "Either the other party is really prepared, or it's ......"

"Alright, you go down." Ezreal waved his hand, not wanting to hear anything more about it.

Is it abnormal......

The whole city is preparing for the wedding......

It's a deliberate act of confusion......

Or, what about the empty city?

Chen Senran, you are really, a difficult opponent.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Ezreal, as expected, has turned into a frightened bird." Trist looked at the slow-moving Demon Slayer Coalition and laughed nonchalantly.

All day, he had been carrying the elite army of 1,000 men, and he was not far away from Ezreal and them.

After reading Ezreal's table.

He finally believed Chen Senran's assertion.

Ezreal has too much to burden right now, he can't afford to lose, so he's going to be extremely careful, so, this is your chance.

Trist's chance.

Not a lot of chance.

Despite Ezreal's caution, it didn't take long.

After all, the whole Noxus is not that big, and after a few days, it will always arrive.

So, Trist.

It's time for you to perform. (To be continued......)
