The third day after the secession day.
War College.
Although everything seems to be back to normal, people should drink and drink, play with women, deceive, get drunk and drunk, and all kinds of strange things continue to play out in this huge monster-like city.
However, whether it is the slightly depressed and deserted streets, or the post-disaster ruins that are scattered all over the city and have not had time to repair and cover up, like scars, or those passers-by who are hurried and full of nervousness, and those latest announcements of various crimes that declare Chen Senran to be a demon.
All illustrate the anxiety and uneasiness that the city cannot hide.
Heavy clouds have always hovered over the first heroic city on the mainland after the disaster.
What was once a huge city that people coveted is now a dangerous place for many to avoid, and many are planning to move out, or simply flee the city.
Because no one can say when the demon that once appeared over the city and almost destroyed the entire city will suddenly reappear.
The most talked about now is no longer when the next Righteous Land showdown will be, but when will the next City Gate Open Day be.
The entire War College has been closed and placed under martial law, and only entry and exit are allowed at the city gates, unless there is a warrant specially approved by the Council, otherwise, even if it is a high-ranking official, it will not be able to take a step out of the War College.
And what used to be the most popular taverns in town is now a place that everyone avoids.
Because, in the great turmoil not long ago. It was precisely the former regulars of the Summoner's Tavern, the First Tavern of the War College, that the members of the Fight Club acted as the main force.
For this reason, the council has been investigating various taverns for three days these days, and anyone suspected of having a connection with the fight club, no matter who it is, will be arrested as a remnant of the fight club and sent to the council review center.
Those who are lucky come back, and most of the people who are unlucky can't come back.
"So, it's hell here." Jax looked outside at the parliamentary soldiers who passed by from time to time. As if he wasn't worried about being discovered, he took a sip of the wine he had at hand.
He's in the Summoner's Tavern. This place, which was sealed off by the council in the first place, once belonged to his base camp.
Now, it's been turned into a mess. Tables and chairs were shattered. Bottles scattered. The smell of various unknown liquors fills the air, blending into an indescribable aroma.
It's like telling, this place. The hustle and bustle of the past.
Jax, it seems that he can still hear the fierce fighting of the men coming from next door.
Really, things are not people.
"Do you think it's a pity?" Lucian asked, as if hearing Jax's silent sigh.
He did not leave with Chen Senran, nor did he pursue the whereabouts of Hammerstone.
He stayed.
The reason, presumably, is that he is also a homeless person, just like Jax.
"Why be a pity, Chen Senran and I are friends, very good friends." Jaxston paused for a moment and said, "Don't be sorry to do something for a friend, no matter how hard." ”
In fact, there was one thing he had never told Chen Senran, and that was that another friend of theirs, the fat man who had been drinking and fighting in this tavern before, Gulagas, had died.
Died in that surprise attack, at the hands of that terrible lion.
He didn't sue Chen Senran because he wanted to avenge this revenge himself.
"Why stay?" Lucian asked the question at the right time.
"Because ......," Jax didn't give that answer, he said, and another, "there's a lot of things in this city that I haven't got back." ”
Specious words.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Failed."
War College.
The place where the whole event began.
Hall of Justice.
The scene of a wedding that changed the landscape of the entire continent.
There is light penetrating down the location.
The scars of the fierce battles that had preceded had long since been erased, including the one who died here, burned to ashes by the black flames, poor Lisandro.
Now, Lalivash was standing in that position again, the same place where he had officiated at the wedding.
Most of the other witnesses were present that day.
It's just that a qiē has long been different from that day.
They no longer have a winning hand, they no longer have a qiē.
They lost, they failed.
Not only did Noxus not get it, but the elite divisions sent to the expedition were also destroyed.
This is no longer something that can be described as painful.
More importantly, I am afraid that henceforth they will be subject to eternal moderation from the Parliament.
That's really ......
"Guys, is there anything you want to say to me?" Lalivash spoke again, he stood in the only light, but it made people feel the endless darkness.
No one answered.
At that moment, many people remembered the peerless demon that tore through the sky and towered over the entire War College on the day the red sun fell.
He also has red eyes.
Although no one said it explicitly, and the council also said that the demon was released by Chen Senran afterwards, but, in fact, many people understood that the demon.
Right in front of their eyes.
Lalivash.
Speaker of the Supreme Council.
He is the first person in the mainland to preach peace, justice, and fairness.
No, he, it, is not even human.
It killed countless innocent civilians, it created a hell that only legends can have, and it, it almost destroyed an entire War College.
It is the living demon.
And they are discussing with a demon how to deal with a person called a demon.
Really, ironically.
"Didn't you?" Lalivash shook his head with some regret, "You seem to have been demoralized, so I'll come and tell you good news." ”
"Yesterday, I just received a generous kindness from King Gawain III, who is willing to send 10,000 elite soldiers to help us and jointly deal with the demon of the East."
Really, good news.
Govin IV had just died on the front lines, and his father was devastated.
Really, that's great news.
"Now, then, folks, I have something to announce." Lalivash continued in an unquestioning tone, "Chen Senran, the betrayer of the whole Valoran, he is the enemy of this world, we ......"
Enemies of the world?
Who is?
At the beginning of June of the year 216 of the mainland calendar, the Supreme Council issued a formal requisition order, declaring Chen Senran to be the enemy of the world and condemning him to the whole world.
The council will soon send troops under the city of Noxus to take its head. (To be continued......)
