Chapter 15: Afterglow in the Ashes
As night falls, the air is filled with the smell of scorched earth, gunsmoke and dust. In the barren land, a tall shadow looked up alone at the dim and mutilated moon, and the sword beside him sunk into the ground glowed with a strange brilliance in the cold night.
He stood for a long time, like a cold statue.
"Alas," he sighed heavily, his voice full of disappointment and sadness. He turned and drew his sword, and walked straight forward on the soft earth. The dragging sword left deep marks on the charred earth.
Suddenly, a tiny black shadow flew towards him with a piercing sound of breaking wind, pointing directly at his vital point.
He frowned slightly, crossed the longsword, holding the broad blade in front of him, and with the cacophony of metal clashing, he slammed what was flying towards him into the soft, pitch-black ground.
That's a dagger.
"Tsk, that's not bad. A crisp and pleasant voice seemed to appear out of thin air, and the owner of the voice was already standing in front of him at some point, "It is worthy of the power of Demacia." ”
Galen quietly looked at the demon in front of him with a stunning face. She was beautiful, Galen admitted, really beautiful, even her beautiful sister Lux was a little inferior to her. But it was this woman of indescribable beauty who slaughtered countless of her compatriots.
"What's the matter, Katarina?"
Galen's voice was hoarse and dull, with inexplicable sadness. Looking closely at Galen, his face was full of tiredness, and his black hair had turned gray.
"Why, can't I come to you if it's okay?" Caterina smiled, no one knew what was in the depths of her eyes, "It's incredible to think about, three years ago we were still at war, no one could have imagined that three years later we would be allies, and we would be very close." ”
"It's just a temporary union," Galen said lightly, "If it weren't for the fact that our enemies were too strong, it would be impossible for you, who are already dead, to enter Demacia and unite with us." ”
Don't forget that we've been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years. Katerina frowned slightly, making a sad expression, "Don't you have any feelings for a stone?"
"Heh, it's not been that long, it's only been eleven years since we met. Galen smiled.
"Cut, can't you exaggerate?" From Galen's smile, Caterina saw a lot.
"When all the invaders are annihilated, I will come to you to settle the score. ”
"Looking for me, I don't remember what I owe you. Caterina was stunned, looked at Galen's serious face, and smiled.
"I will definitely get this account back for slaughtering countless of my compatriots," Galen's voice grew colder, and he looked at Caterina with a gaze that seemed to pierce her.
"Oh, this one, you're always welcome. Met Galen's icy gaze, Katerina's voice was cold and piercing, "But you may have to wait. If you want to get back from me the accounts of your countrymen, then wait for me to settle the accounts of my country. ”
"I know you won't, but I'm going to talk to you," Caterina smiled, beautifully, "and if you stop me, I'll kill you." ”
"Noxus is dead, my father is dead, and I will definitely make the people who took everything from me pay a terrible price. A hundredfold, ten thousand times more than the pain I have endured, even if I lose my soul. Katerina's voice was soft and soft, as if she was telling something that had nothing to do with her, but her beautiful eyes were filled with gloom, and the dark whirlpool with the dust of revenge condensed in her eyes, which made people shudder. The sharp dagger in her right hand had already pierced the back of her left hand, and the dark red blood with a muddy hatred stained the silver-white dagger red, a terrifying red.
"Carter ······" Galen opened his mouth, only to spit out a call that was too soft to hear. He didn't know what to say, he didn't know what to say, and he didn't know what to say. Have you changed?
Perhaps.
Katerina is in pain because she has lost her loved ones, her country, her own, everything. But what about Galen himself? His Royal Highness's life and death are uncertain, the Governor is nowhere to be found, Quinn was killed in the war against the invaders, and Ryze's whereabouts are unknown. Seeing his relatives and friends gradually disappearing, Galen was afraid, really scared, who would he lose next......? Galen really couldn't even think about it.
Galen didn't speak, and neither did Carter. The two of them were silent in the cold wind mixed with gunsmoke.
"Did I say you two young couples must have a tryst here?" a voice broke the silence.
In the dark, a person slowly walked out, her steps were very large, but her speed was very slow. On her hands were two huge, slightly bizarre fist gauntlets. The mechanical fist gauntlets with a dull metallic sheen stand out in the light of the waning moon.
Short purple hair, scattered and uninhibited. Her face was casual and casual, "Little couple, tsk." ”
Caterina snorted and disappeared into the night.
"Vi, do you have anything to do with me?" Galen coughed lightly and looked at that face, to be honest, Vi is very beautiful, although there is still a distance from Carter, she can be regarded as a first-class beauty. The purple-red, somewhat scattered short hair adds an unusual temperament to her. is such a beauty, but her temper is unusually short-tempered. I don't know how many people are afraid of her powerful iron fist, and I don't know how many people have been taught by her to be unable to take care of themselves because of some trivial things.
"Che, the Queen sent me to you. Glancing at Galen, who looked indifferent, Wei said, "Otherwise, I don't want to see you, this is Demacia, keep ······ it."
"Uh······" Glancing at Wei, Galen was a little helpless, "Got it, I'll go over right away." ”
The bleak autumn wind lingered aimlessly in the icy air, in the shadow of war, just like this, wandering aimlessly.

Freljord, which is covered in snow and ice all year round, is the last survivor of Kyle's invasion, even if it is the most heavily invaded area by Kyle.
It was Zhao Xin, the governor of Debang.
Ever since Freeljord was invaded by an inexplicable force, he stayed in Freeljord as an envoy to help the queen Ash defend against the invasion. Thanks to Freljord's unique terrain, they barely survived in the northernmost corner of Freljord.
I don't know what happened to Demacia now, originally the mission here was to use the power of Freeljord to attack Noxus, but what Zhao Xin didn't expect was that in the end, he stayed here to help Freljord resist the invasion.
Looking at the snowfall in the sky, Zhao Xin sighed heavily.
"What are you thinking, Lord Steward?" said Tedamir, who patted Zhao Xin's broad shoulder and said with a smile. His voice was rough and heroic.
"Nothing, just wondering when we'll break through the blockade and drive the invaders out of here. As if he was accustomed to this rough way of greeting, Zhao Xin lightly raised his somewhat sour arm and said with a smile.
"This day will come soon. Tedamir laughed and walked forward slowly, distancing himself from Zhao Xin. His steps were very large, and his gestures were surrounded by heroic momentum. The pitch-black, even body-length blade in his hand left long, deep marks on the thick snow.
"Anyway, it's boring to stay here all day, and those monsters can't attack it," After only a few steps, Tedamir turned around and thrust his giant blade into the snow, glancing at Zhao Xin's spear, with a strange light in his eyes, "How about we have a discussion?"
"The Barbarian King Tydamir, invincible," Zhao Xin smiled, holding the spear horizontally in front of him, a strange silver light flickering at the head of the spear.
"Come on, let me see your triple claw strike. Tedamir waved his hand, gripped the blade tightly.
"Concession. Zhao Xin's eyes froze, and he turned around, stabbing at Tydamir with a dazzling silver light.

Zuan, a techno-city-state, developed in direct proportion to its level of pollution. Now Zaun is on the verge of extinction, and everything here has been almost eroded by Kyle's power, and the once prosperous city has become unrecognizable.
On a mysterious altar on the outskirts of Zu'an, a plain white man stared motionlessly at the gray sky, like a statue. She floated strangely in the air, a pure white wand in her hand. Her long * floats in the air, windless automatic. Surprisingly, her long hair was white, pure white without a trace of impurities. There was only calm in her pale blue eyes.
Underneath the altar was a young man dressed in peculiar fashion, leaning lazily against the stone wall of the altar with his shoulders crossed, his hair also white. But the difference is that his hair is arranged in a line, from the top of his head to the back of his head, only this line is a long, vertical white hair pointing straight to the sky, and the rest of the place is bare, leaving not a single hair.
In his hand was a blue mechanical stick, and at the other end of the stick was an extremely short beam of blue light, as if it had turned into a substance. Not far from him was a blue light that was exactly the same as his form, and even the mechanical stick in his hand was outlined exactly the same. The light and shadow leaned against the stone wall in the same posture as him, and a faint blue light connected him to the light and shadow.
"It's boring······" The young man stretched, and the light and shadow not far away from him followed his movements, almost at the same time, stretching as he did. He turned his head to look at the white figure on the stage, and the light and shadow also turned his head to look towards the altar. The light and shadow were like the shadow of a young man, repeating his movements without stopping. "I said Jana, is it interesting to look at the sky all day, can you find any treasure in the sky?"
"If you look at her with awe and peace, then you will find what you are looking for. "Jana's voice is ethereal and clear, and it is very comfortable to listen to. "Everything. ”
Ike looked up, squinting at the sky carefully. After a long time, when he found that the sky was gray and there were no clouds, he shook his head and said helplessly, "There is a ghost, nothing, you magicians, all day long you only know how to talk about things that you can't understand and can't do. ”
"That's because you have impurities in your heart," Jana chuckled, "and when you can do away with these things, you can really get what you want, relying on the power of the sky······"
"Hmmm······" Ike put the mechanical stick in his hand on his shoulder and looked at the beautiful Jana, "It looks like I'll never be able to do it." ”

"How's it going, is it done?" a lazy voice rang out in the darkness.
"Yes, yes, Her Majesty. The voice of the response was loud, "Ryze's warp realm migration has been completely copied by us, and now we can use this to teleport our people to any direction on the continent······"
"How many units can be teleported at one time?" Morgana said lightly, looking at Ruiz, who was confined in a cage and completely unconscious.
"Because time is in a hurry. Up to one ······ at a time Moreover, it must be below the god level. ”
"Really?" Morgana narrowed her eyes slightly in displeasure, she exhaled lightly, and immediately furrowed her brow again, "That's enough." ”
"My Queen, what can I do for you?" a calm voice sounded low in the darkness. If Galen was on the sidelines, he would have been shocked. Because it's an acquaintance's voice.
"I don't think you'll let me down. In the darkness, Morgana smiled faintly.
············
············
A splendid palace.
"Queen Kyle, my mission is done. Zelas said faintly to Kyle on the throne, his blue body light and transparent.
"There's nothing you can do. Kyle nodded, glanced at Zelas indifferently, and said condescendingly.
"Yes," said Zeroth, Kyle's personality is like that, she is ruthlessly indifferent to all living beings except the angel she approves of, and Zelas has to endure it in order to get the strength to restore herself. There is no eternal cooperation with the angels, only one-way interests.
"Ya," Kyle rubbed his forehead as he looked at Zeroth's increasingly illusory form.
"Yes, Her Majesty. At Kyle's side, an angel in silver armor replied respectfully.
"Give me all the strength to search for the whereabouts of the fallen angel Morgana," Kyle said coldly, "even if you destroy this continent, you have to find her for me." ”
"Yes, Her Majesty. ”
