The noise of the war has passed, and Noxus has won a brilliant victory.

Du Kecao's army had won too many such victories, and everything continued in an orderly manner.

Ryan, a military mage appointed by the Empire, sat in his separate tent and prepared a pot of Noxus-derived spirits, seemingly waiting for some visitors.

In a few moments, the curtain was pushed open, and the tall and tall Du Quecao was the first to enter.

Behind him, followed by Caterina with a dead face, her appearance seemed to have completely lost the firm faith she had before.

Ryan admired it slightly, and then refocused his gaze on Du Kekao:

"The liquor I brought from the Immortal Fortress, I've heard that General Quekao wants a drink whenever he wins."

"You don't look like Trevary, you don't feel like you belong to Black Rose."

Du Kekao stepped forward, grabbed the flask sharply, and took a large gulp into his mouth.

Flame-like alcohol burned his throat, and it was undoubtedly the strongest liquor in Noxus!

"No one says that Trefary is a war maniac, and Black Rose is not all delicate mages." Ryan's shoulders shrugged slightly.

Trafali was secretly established by his former boss in order to reshape the decaying empire of Noxus.

The Black Rose was established in the shadows at the beginning of the establishment of Noxus, and the change of the imperial throne has their shadows.

In fact, he had a choice, the pale lady of the black rose personally invited him, as long as he betrayed his old boss, he could not only join the black rose, but also be personally given eternal life.

However, he sincerely admired his old boss. In the Battle of Précidian, when the empire abandoned them and his comrades were almost dying, it was he who survived with his own support.

At the end of the memory, Ryan looked at Du Quecao with a fixed gaze:

"General Quekao, we Tripali are tired of the infighting in the Empire, it's time for Noxus to rise!"

Ryan wasn't originally a Noxian, or even a member of this world.

He traveled to Demacia and Ionia, but eventually Noxus accepted him.

This is the best soil for talented people, whether it is force, magic, business, politics, alchemy, as long as it is beneficial to the empire, everything will be accepted.

Noxus is determined by ability, and strength determines height, and this alone is enough to make Ryan identify with the empire.

After all, no one would consider themselves incompetent mediocrity.

Du Kecao was still gulping down his wine, but his expression became more and more sober as he ingested it.

The meaning of Ryan's words was clear, the other party had come with a kind invitation from Trevary.

Although he was powerful, he didn't need to take sides. But in the face of the imminent great changes in the empire, he also had to plan ahead.

With a choice in his heart, he glanced at his daughter, who was still in a state of loss of soul, and Du Kecao said coldly:

"I'm a general who expands my territory, I only follow the orders of the upper echelons of the empire, and I'm here to say something else."

Ryan also glanced at Katarina, still with a smile on his face:

"Speak, please."

"I don't need reckless soldiers in my army." Du Kekao's voice was cold.

As the words fell, Ryan could clearly feel that Katerina's body was trembling slightly. Maybe she had a heart breakdown, but because of the harsh training and teaching, she didn't break out of the door.

Ryan was standing in a different position than Katarina, and he knew exactly what Du Quekao meant.

Du Kecao does not want to take sides, but the situation in the empire has reached a serious point, and an eldest daughter who has been expelled from the family may be the hope of the Kekao family, and there is no father's expectation of the eldest daughter.

"Trevary doesn't do charity." Ryan smiled.

He is cooperating with Du Kekao's father's performance, although he does not agree with the other party's idea of expecting his children to grow up out of hatred, but this is a family matter, and the father is willing to be a tool for his daughter's growth, and he can't say anything.

Hearing that she was evaluated by the two like goods, Caterina didn't have any abnormality on her face, no anger or hysteria, at most she was just a little unwilling.

Noxus is like this, the strong decide the fate of the weak, and the strong will not limit the growth of the weak. Only one's own talent is the best proof of the right to the right.

Here, the cowardice in her heart must be covered with frost on her face, and Caterina learned this truth when she was 6 years old.

"Leather City has been restless lately, and the transactions of the Imperial nobles have been compromised there. His Majesty the Emperor wants to leave it to me, but I prefer war, and judging from the recent troop movements in Noxus, I can't fight with Picheng for the time being. Du Kecao said.

He was very interested in going to Picheng to kill people and set fires. But if he just went to Picheng to be a diplomat, it would be a complete waste of his time.

His implication was to give up this troublesome errand.

This is not just a troublesome errand, and Trefary, represented by Ryan, needs a reason. With this reason, he can hold the lifeblood of many nobles.

"Piltover... Because Hexfly has been growing so fast in recent years, I'd love to meet that Jace Tallis. We've taken it over with Miss Quekao. ”

Ryan easily complied, and the outcome of the Battle of Presidon made him a little disgusted with war. He had heard that Phi City was a peaceful city, and that it would be good to go there for a vacation.

However, there is one thing he still needs to confirm.

"General Kerkao, in what name am I doing this time?"

He glanced at Katarina.

"Caterina has been a subordinate of Trefali since today, and there will be no such person in Quekao in the future! I will give you the Okkao Seal, which will represent my will and that of the Kerkao family. ”

Du Kekao said in a cold tone, and then went out with the little flask left, as if he didn't want to stay any longer.

After a few moments, Ryan stopped playing with his right hand, which was playing with the Quekao family's magic insignia, and turned to look at Katarina, who was as habitually cold-faced as his father:

"Ryan Meredith, one of the founders of Trefali, you should be familiar with me."

After listening to Ryan's introduction, Caterina made a little movement, knelt on one knee, and lowered her head:

"Every Noxian has heard of you, Your Excellency. I'm here to help! ”

"Let's get up first."

Ryan waved for Caterina to get up, leaned back in her chair and said:

"I have heard countless times in my time at the Immortal Citadel that Caterina is the most gifted assassin of the Quekao family, and that she will surely surpass the genius of Du Quekao in the future. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. ”

"It's just a piece of waste that failed the first mission." Caterina had a self-deprecating look on her face.

In today's battle, 25 Noxian soldiers were killed by Demetrius, and every loss of life was her responsibility.

She has no mercy for life in her heart, but she will not deny the mistakes she has made.

"What do you think is the problem?" Ryan asked.

"I didn't follow the order, and if I did it again, I was confident that I could kill Demetrius." Caterina mentioned the name with confidence.

In her eyes, if she didn't make her own decisions, it might be a perfect task.

"Miss Katarina, I don't think so. We are all Noxians and know each other, please answer me seriously, what do you think when you kill the enemy commander? Ryan stared indifferently at Katarina.

"I—" Katerina's mouth opened slightly, and finally she replied in a dejected manner, "I want to continue the assassination mission." ”

"Killing the commander is a plus, it's definitely not a mistake. And your mistake lies only in one point..."

Ryan didn't finish speaking, but Caterina already understood what he meant, her fists clenched tightly, and there was strong unwillingness in her eyes, but she still took the initiative to make her words clear:

"I've made my choice, but I don't have the strength to make it."

"Good." Ryan nodded with satisfaction, "Keep it up this way, and tomorrow an airship will pick us up and head to Piltover." There, I hope you can complete your metamorphosis. ”

"Obey your arrangement, Your Excellency!"
