Chapter 18: General Darkwell

It wasn't until just now that he suddenly remembered that in history, Grand General Darkwell seemed to have been assassinated in Karamanda, along with the soldiers guarding Resser, rather than being besieged and killed on the Sea of Watch like today, and there seemed to be some plot gaps in between.

I don't know if some contractor pushed it, or if he inadvertently reversed the plot, or if tonight's assassination was doomed to fail

None of this matters anymore, no one on the ship now knows that General Darkwell is on board, the general is secretly on board, and it seems that he has his own purpose, and then Svein can find some means to hide the past.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the cabin of Grand General Darkwell.

A tall, pale-skinned, wrinkled old man sat quietly on a recliner, looking at the ancient book in his hand with an indifferent expression.

He is the supreme commander of the war machine of Noxus, General Darkwell, he boarded the Ghost God this time, and he did not tell anyone, and the crew outside only knew that there was a very noble nobleman in the first class cabin of the Ghost God, and they did not know anything else.

Over the years, he has rarely interfered in the military of Noxus, and let his group of people do it, not because he is old and mediocre as rumored by the outside world, but because he no longer has much desire for power.

What he's pursuing now is different from what he's been looking for.

Darkwell took out an old photo album from the alchemy leather bag he was traveling with, it looked a little worn out, and it seemed to have been repaired several times.

His hand gently ran over the album and began to look at the pictures inside.

The first one is a group of teenagers hooking shoulders and laughing, wearing standard military uniforms, under the sun, they are laughing so happily and so excited.

The photograph is already relatively blurry, and it seems that it has been maintained in its current form by alchemic means, and if a scholar who is proficient in antiquities is here, it can immediately be judged that it is a photograph that has been stored for more than a hundred years.

This is what Darkwell looked like when he was thirteen years old and had just joined the barracks.

That year, he was born in Jiangmen, he had just graduated from the Noxus Military Academy, and went to the military camp with a group of iron buddies to report, at that time, Noxus was not so iron-blooded and ruthless, nor as powerful as it is now, politically, the regent was alone.

At that time, the word regent's words were great orders, and no one could disobey them, because the regent was perennial and incompetent, so Noxus was not very prosperous and was often bullied by the surrounding countries.

Although a few of them joined the military camp, Noxus did not have many conflicts with other countries throughout the year, and the officers of Noxus were not more interested in studying how to use soldiers to fight, but on how to have fun and how to have fun.

At that time, the people at the bottom were miserable and couldn't even eat, but as nobles, they lived a very comfortable and carefree life, and they didn't need to think about the future of the country and the future of the nation.

Darkwell flipped to the second page of the photo, gently rubbing the man in the photo.

This is a very innocent girl, she is a commoner, in Noxus at that time, it should be called a pariah.

I remember that summer, on his way home from the barracks in the middle of the night, Darkwell saw this girl, a poor girl whose parents had died, had been kicked out of a hotel, thrown on the street, and beaten all over her body.

Out of curiosity, he went to see the girl, and seeing her pitiful appearance, young Darkwell felt compassion and took her home.

After that, the girl became his maid, and under the conditions of Darkwell's abundant house, the girl quickly grew from a shriveled and thin girl to a slim girl, and Darkwell raised her with the intention of raising a kitten.

It didn't take long for the little maid to conceive for him and bore him a son.

In an aristocratic family like him, this kind of thing is very common, but this child is considered an illegitimate child and cannot be put on the stage, and this child will not have nobility and inheritance rights in the future.

Darkwell still remembers the birthmark on his son's shoulder.

He raised his head slightly, thinking that that period of time was his happiest time.

Subsequently, under the arrangement of the family, the elderly Darkwell married the daughter of another nobleman like other noble children and completed a political marriage.

And his wife, too, quickly discovered that the little maid was having an affair with her husband, and tortured her by all means while Darkwell was away, and forced her to inquire about the whereabouts of the bastard, so that the bastard would one day come back and disturb the legitimacy of her own son.

Finally, when Darkwell came home one day, he found that the little maid was missing, and he questioned his wife, who said that the little maid had escaped, and that the little maid had taken a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, and that she had become a wanted criminal.

Darkwell used his connections in the army to find the little maid, but she had died in the dark dungeon, there was not a single intact piece of skin on her body, her two long legs were corroded by alchemy into white bones, and her originally innocent face was crawling with disgusting and terrible meat maggots, crawling in and out of her eyes and nose, and her lower body to her chest was dissected alive, and the internal organs inside were ground into flesh foam.

Darkwell's face did not change at that time, as if he had seen the most ordinary scene, and he asked the jailer, who told him that it was Madame's meaning, and that the little maid had been tortured in prison in order to ask about the whereabouts of the illegitimate child, but she did not reveal anything until she died.

The weather-hardened Darkwell certainly knew what was going on, and he knew his wife's character inside out.

That night, Darkwell calmly returned home, smiling at his wife.

He knew that her wife was the youngest daughter of the regent, and that his future future in Darkwell had to be placed in the hands of this woman.

It's just that, since then, Darkwell's style of acting has become more and more cruel, and the smile on his face has disappeared, he likes to fight outside all year round, and once he conquers it, he will slaughter villages and cities, which will make the heavens angry and resentful, and also make him famous.

With his pale, rough fingers, Darkwell continued to flip through the pages of the album before fixing his gaze on a black-and-white picture.

Twelve years later, he led his army to meet the invading foreign enemy, and in a desperate situation, he won more with less, killed tens of thousands of enemies, and after the battle was over, he was worshiped as a general by the regent.

Since Darkwell was the regent's son-in-law, the regent was relieved to put the status of the general in his hands.

After becoming a general, Darkwell controlled nearly a quarter of Noxus's military power, and this photo is the same one he took when he became a general.

At that time, half of the military power of Noxus was in the hands of the regent, and the remaining half of the military power was more or less distributed to the generals, who were all from various nocratic nobility in Noxus and restrained each other, so the regent never worried that these nobles would betray him.

And during the years that Darkwell led the troops, the powerful relatives in his family disappeared one by one for some reason, and finally only Darkwell was left alone, becoming the only pillar of his family.

The Regent was a close friend of him, and because there were no other high-ranking people in his family, he believed that Darkwell would not be able to make waves alone.

What's more, Darkwell slaughtered the city every time he fought in battle, and his reputation in the Land of Runeteres was extremely bad, although he had great achievements, but no one would stand with him as a butcher from the bottom of his heart.

Darkwell flipped the album to the back page.

It was a night of a blood moon, and he was pictured with several generals in front of the blood-stained city walls.

In the five years since he became a general, as his military exploits have become more and more significant, the regent finally reassures a war madman like him, and begins to frame him, wanting to reclaim the authority of the Darkwell family by the way.

However, what the regent never expected was that Darkwell had spread the iron-blooded and cruel military style to the whole army, and almost all of Noxus, as long as it was a combat-effective army, was idolized by Darkwell.

The regent has only cared about internal affairs for many years and does not know enough about the military, but in the battle to suppress Darkwell, he was betrayed by the commander of the forbidden army under his command and hacked to death.

After the war, Darkwell naturally sat in the position of Supreme Leader of Noxus.

The first thing he ordered after becoming a general was to throw his wife into the alchemy furnace, and watched his wife who had been married for decades being corroded by the alchemy venom in the screams, leaving only a pile of white bones.

Immediately afterwards, he threw all the members of the Regent's clan into the insect pool of alchemy maggots, let the poisonous insects crawl into their bodies, and killed them one by one in a miserable scream that life was worse than death.

And the skull of her wife, which he wrapped in gold, kept away.

On that day, Noxus was so full of blood that even the moon turned bloody, and it was rumored that even the moon turned bloody.

From then on, Darkwell's iron-blooded style in Noxus was set, he reversed a series of policies left by the regent, and limited all the channels of commoners to the nobility to the channels of war, and only military merit could make people climb from the bottom.

With this policy, all Noxian civilians were eager for war and bravely joined the army, and Noxus quickly developed into a military power in just a few decades.

The surrounding countries that had bullied Noxus also quickly fell under Darkwell's iron-blooded attack, and his wrist made Noxus quickly become one of the few powerful countries on the Valoran continent

When he was fifty years old, all the countries around Noxus had submitted to Noxus and established the Noxian Federation, but Darkwell suddenly abandoned his military power at this time, handed it over to many nobles, and let them divide it among themselves, he handed over his dark power to the trickster LeBlan, and established the Black Rose.

It's all just because he caught a yodeler, a special yodeler, a yodeler who changed his life.

This is a yodeler who can make himself stronger by draining the dead spirits of others, and his name is Vega
