Valoran Continent, Chang'an City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chang'an City is 40 miles from east to west and 60 miles from north to south, with a resident population of less than 2 million. It seems to be a small city, but it is not a big city in the vast Valoran continent, it can only be said to be an ordinary small and medium-sized city.

In the past, even if dozens of such small and medium-sized cities were destroyed, it would be difficult to attract the attention of Valoran giants. At most, in the corner of the Valoran daily newspaper, there is a record of such a large block of tofu.

But today's Chang'an City has faintly attracted the attention of many giants in Valoran.

Just because Chang'an City is located in the easternmost part of the Iron Ridge Mountains in the north of the Valoran continent, and it has an excellent port second only to Piltover on the route to Ionia.

An excellent port, the usefulness of Noxus for an expedition to Ionia is self-evident.

Once Chang'an City is completely lost, it means that the war work of Noxus has entered the final stage of preparation, and it may come to Ionia at any time!

As one of the largest cities in the Valoran continent, Ionia is famous in this world. Whether it is because he is the next target of Noxus, or for the balance of the Valoran world, he is very concerned about this war.

Other large city-states, such as Noxus' nemesis, Demacia, the war academy of the self-proclaimed guardian of Valoran, and Piltover, the northernmost metropolis of Valoran, are all watching the battle for a variety of reasons.

Of course, in their eyes, the fall of Chang'an City was only a matter of time. What really deserves their attention is none other than Noxus' next move.

If Noxus continues to advance north, then Piltover will have to step up his combat readiness and always be vigilant for the attack of Noxus. If Noxus were to attack Ionia, Piltover would have a lot of time to prepare, and even keep the war out of the territory of the city-state of Piltover.

Demacia's goals are more complex than Piltover's. They need to think about when they enter this unprecedented war in order to get the most benefit for themselves and cause the most damage to Noxus.

As for the War College, they need to consider when to intervene in this war, so as to better prevent the war from further expanding, prevent the destruction of the Valoran continent, and even establish a League of Legends to limit the attacks between the major city-states!

It's just that those bigwigs are calculating, but they don't have any meaning for Chang'an City.

Because of its proximity to the sea and the topography, Chang'an is located in the north of Valoran, but it does not have the concept of winter. The climate is warm all year round, and with abundant rainfall, it can be described as a good harvest.

In the past, Chang'an City, as its name suggests, was a good place for long-term stability.

It's just that today, facing the terrible situation of the Noxian army, Chang'an City is in chaos.

The nobles had different thoughts, and the nobles, led by Prime Minister Qin Ming, hoped that the current crisis could be resolved through peaceful means, such as surrendering to Noxus. The forces led by General Zhao Hu decided to resist to the end and absolutely could not compromise with Noxus.

At least when the Grand Duke has not yet returned, he should resolutely resist the vanguard of Noxus, and not surrender directly to Noxus!

The power of the two nobles was not much different, and the absence of the Grand Duke in the city to preside over the situation also deepened the chaos in the city.

In such a situation, the merchants did not dare to do business on strike, and the ordinary people were panicked. They don't know when the army of Noxus will enter the city, bringing terrible slaughter, and they don't know where their future lies.

For thousands of years, Noxus conquered countless city-states with iron and brutality, slaughtering countless living beings.

No one knows what they will do to themselves once Noxus breaks through Chang'an.

The Grand Duke's Mansion of Chang'an.

The Duke's Palace is located in the core part of Chang'an City, which covers an area of about 60,000 square meters. Among them, there are hundreds of houses, more than a dozen large palaces, and four large gardens.

Since the establishment of Chang'an City, it has not only been the place where the Grand Duke has lived for generations, but also the political and military center of Chang'an.

On weekdays, the affairs of Chang'an City will be resolved in the Great Hall.

The main hall is located in the front yard of the Duke's Palace, the whole is two zhang high, four zhang wide and six zhang long.

It is made of fine magic stones, and is carved with a powerful magic array to protect it, and it looks as white as snow as a whole, although the style has a bit of an oriental style, but it contains more Western styles.

The main hall has an area of more than 300 square meters, which looks quite spacious.

The inside is covered with brown wood, and the feet have a warm scent. In the main hall, there are delicate red pillars like fire, and various rare beasts carved on them look very beautiful.

At the top of the main hall is a wheel-sized crystal inlaid with a crystal that is clean and flawless, like clear flowing water. The blazing sun shines through the crystal, shining the hall to the fullest.

On weekdays, the political hall should be full of people, and many nobles are here to discuss the affairs of Chang'an City.

It's just that at this time, the atmosphere in the council hall is extremely tense.

In the main hall, there are more than a dozen great nobles of Chang'an City.

They are divided into two columns, separated by a central aisle. Seven of them were led by an old man with a peaceful face, dressed in ornate robes. The other five were led by a middle-aged man, each wearing a powerful magical armor of different shapes.

Zhao Huguo's face, his face was full of determination, his eyes were staring at Qin Ming with bright eyes, and his thick eyebrows were tightly wrinkled.

He glared at Qin Ming and the others with calm faces, his thick hands were clenched, the green tendons on them were beating like the roots of an old tree, and his face was ugly and he shouted: "The Grand Duke has not returned yet, General Ben will definitely not agree to your plan, surrender to Noxus now!" ”

"General Zhao is angry, and he knows that the general is brave and loyal, and he also understands the heroism of the general." Qin Ming didn't have the slightest anger on his face in the face of Zhao Hu's angry shouts, but said with a kind face.

As he spoke, the smile on his face changed, and his kung fu turned into a sad color, his eyes looked at Zhao Hu disappointedly, and he asked in a soft voice: "I understand the general, but why doesn't the general understand my hard work." ”

"Hmph, you've put a lot of effort into it. Could it be that while the Grand Duke was absent and the Noxian army had not yet arrived in Chang'an, he surrendered to Noxus! Zhao Hu's face was full of disdain, and he said disdainfully.

The other party's mind, how could he not understand, to put it bluntly, he was not optimistic about Chang'an's strength, and wanted to sell Chang'an to pave the way for his future wealth.

Although Zhao Hu himself is not optimistic about the future of Chang'an, he will never be able to sell his way to seek glory and steal his life, and he can't wait to surrender before the enemy arrives!

If Mo Chen was here and ordered to surrender, it was one thing, and it was another thing to try to betray Chang'an behind the back of the Grand Duke to invite merit.

When Qin Ming heard Zhao Hu's words, his face was full of helplessness, and he sighed: "This is because the general underestimates Qin too much. Although Qin is not talented, he is not a traitor seeking glory. ”

Zhao Hu sneered all over his face, and watched Qin Ming's performance with both hands in his arms, without the slightest word.

"Alas, how does the general think that the strength of my Chang'an compares with that of Noxus; How is my strong man in Chang'an compared to Noxus? Qin Ming was not annoyed, his face was full of solemnity, his body was straight, and he asked one after another.

Zhao Hu's face was slightly stunned, his face was a little ugly, and he said in a low voice: "It's not as good." ”

Qin Ming showed a faint smile on his face, his eyes were like two divine soldiers staring at Zhao Hu tightly, and he continued to ask, "Does the general have the confidence to resist the attack of Noxus?" ”

As soon as Qin Ming's question was spoken, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn.

Not only the several nobles behind Qin Ming looked at Zhao Hu, but even the several generals behind Zhao Hu also turned their gazes.

Facing everyone's ridicule or expectation, Zhao Hu was silent for a long time.

If he didn't understand Qin Ming's purpose just now, he already had an idea at this time. The other party is trying to fundamentally break everyone's fighting spirit and prepare for the surrender of Noxus.

Although Zhao Hu understood Qin Ming's sinister intentions, in the face of the current situation, he couldn't say anything that could be resisted.

The strength of Noxus is a well-known thing in Valoran, not to mention just one Chang'an, even if there are a hundred Chang'an, I dare not say that I can resist the attack of Noxus!

"It's very difficult to resist completely, but it's no problem to hold out until the Grand Duke returns." Zhao Hu was silent for a moment, after all, he couldn't escape this question. He looked at Qin Ming with a gloomy expression, and replied with a look of determination on his face.

"Then if all the four western cities surrender to Noxus and form an auxiliary army of 300,000 to attack, will General Zhao Hu still have confidence?" Qin Ming's face was full of solemnity, and he shouted loudly in a strong voice!

His voice was so loud that even the soldiers outside the main hall could hear it.

Zhao Hu was stunned when he heard this, his face was full of disbelief, and he exclaimed: "How is it possible, the four western cities have surrendered!" ”

"Not to mention that the strength of the three cities of Liangcheng, Huangzhou City, and Pancheng is not inferior to my Chang'an City, Blackstone City has 100,000 soldiers, and there are two legendary powerhouses guarding it, even if they are not good, they will not fail in the hands of the 30,000 Noxian vanguard army!"

For the two legendary powerhouses in Black Rock City, Zhao Hu has a very deep friendship and knows their personalities very well.

He couldn't believe that Noxus would break through the four cities in just two days!

And if it is really as Qin Ming said, the four cities have surrendered to Noxus, and the form of Chang'an City will be very severe.

Not to mention how many strong people there are in Noxus, these four cities alone are guarded by five legendary powerhouses, plus 300,000 male soldiers to help, Chang'an City has no chance of winning at all! (To be continued.) )
