"Whose subordinates are you?"

Caterina couldn't help but frown as she looked at the man in front of her, who had lost even the long knife.

It's dusk again.

On the endless plains, there are defeated Noxian soldiers.

This broken team has long since been pulled to pieces on its own on the plains, and without the support of the leader, everyone is like a wild ghost who has lost his soul.

They threw off their armor, fell and got up, let their wounds bleed and scab over, and let the weeds and dirt eat their faces.

The smell of decay permeates every corner.

No one has a fighting spirit in their eyes, they are terrified, helpless, and confused looking ahead, their companions, the sky.

No one wants to move forward or backward anymore, they just want to stay here until they die.

In fact, they are dead.

Spiritually.

Spiritually.

Noxus seemed to be gone, and the enemy's iron hooves had crossed the walls of the royal city of Noxus, and they had climbed to the top of the highest hill and opened the doors and windows that had been closed all day in the main hall of the former royal palace.

The last sunset of summer shone into it without hesitation, illuminating the throne that once no one could look up to.

Then, someone stepped on it.

From then on, there was no more Noxus.

"Whose subordinate is it, I ask you?" Caterina looked into the eyes of the man who had lost the knife and asked again.

"Sister......" Tyrone couldn't help but say.

He wanted to persuade her not to be attached.

This force is clearly dead, their souls are gone.

Neither the man in front of her, nor the other people who were standing, falling, or howling, would answer her questions.

In fact. Noxus, too, is dead.

"I ask you, who are you?" Caterina didn't take Tarylone, she repeated it again.

But the man remained unmoved, and he glanced at Caterina with the last remnants of his consciousness. Shaking his head, he turned around, as if intending to leave in the other direction.

"I ask you !!" Caterina suddenly roared, she jumped onto a high ground, looked at everyone, and asked loudly, "Who's your subordinates?!" ”

Still no one answered, and everyone remained indifferent. It's like, even if there were 100,000 wild horses running by their side now, they wouldn't react at all.

"Sister, forget it." Tyrone looked at Caterina standing in the sunset.

She had her back to him, her red hair as if it were burning in the summer sunset.

"I'm Katerina, Katarina. Duke Kao. Caterina said again. Major General of the Reich, daughter of General Durkkao. I command you, stand up. ”

This time, someone finally reacted, but also, it seemed, only out of a certain sensitivity to the surname Durkkao.

There was a gleam in someone's godless eyes. They glanced at Caterina blankly, but no one spoke.

"I order you, in your capacity as a major general of the Empire, to stand up and fight again." Caterina didn't give up, she was still talking. "Everyone !!"

"Stand !!"

At sunset, everyone looked at the woman who was roaring loudly on the high slope, dazed.

"Noxus !!" Katerina's voice, finally hoarse from roaring too loudly, was still roaring.

She called Noxus.

But no one responded to her.

Only she said in her last voice, which was already hoarse:

"Hooray."

Banzai......

Noxus, it's come to an end, right?

Tyrone was silent, wanting to say something to comfort her.

But he couldn't think of anything.

At such a moment of national calamity, the men fell, leaving only one woman, alone in the sunset, burning.

It's a sadness.

But at this moment.

"Your Excellency......" A voice that was extremely weak, but at this moment, it could be called extremely strong, finally spoke, "We are from the Third Legion of the Empire, the First Vanguard Battalion, our commander...... It's Ferenzo. Major Solon Hill, he ...... Already killed. ”

"I see." Caterina nodded, walked over, and helped the man who was about to die completely after being tortured by the two fatal wounds on his chest, and said, "You are like a Noxian soldier, you died a glorious death." ”

"Is it glorious?" The man cracked his mouth and laughed with the last of his strength, "I'm not ...... at all."

He didn't finish the sentence, and he died.

At the end of the sunset.

He didn't have time to close his eyes.

It's too late to return to my hometown.

A strong sadness began to spread from his body.

In the setting sun.

"My lord, I'm Jack of the Third Legion of the Empire, the First Vanguard Battalion, and my commander is ......"

"My lord, I am the Third Legion of the Empire, the ...... of the First Pioneer Battalion"

"My lord, I am the Third Legion of the Empire, the first ......"

"My lord, I am the third ...... of the empire"

More people began to report their identities.

The defeated army, which was originally decaying like weeds, actually started again and burned next to the woman who was burning all over her body.

"Adult ......"

"Adult ......"

"Adult ......"

More people began to gather towards Katerina.

She stood up and returned to the top of the hill.

She looked at these men who couldn't even put together a complete armor, and suddenly raised her hand: "Glory!! ”

She clenched her hands into fists and slammed them into her chest, screaming like a man.

This time, it was no longer her solo dance.

Rather, it's hundreds, thousands, of hammering sounds.

"That is, my life !!"

Thousands of men were in the sunset, looking at her, blazing.

This is a renewed flame.

It will sweep the earth again.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"It seems inevitable that we will be caught up in this gale."

In the gloomy alley, Hammerstone skillfully swung the rusty iron hook in his hand, calmly absorbing a wisp of fluttering soul into the terrible lantern.

"What now?" Elise didn't comment on Hammerstone's actions, she looked at Hammerstone calmly, blinking her unpredictable eyes, and smiling amorously.

"What else can I do? I can only ask Hekarim to come quickly. Hammerstone wiped his lantern with some care, blew lightly and said, "Since the other party is inviting us to enter the game, why are we embarrassed not to spend some money?" (To be continued......)
