Above the sky, a high-tech airship broke through the fog, and the scene seen by the hanging windows on both sides suddenly opened up.

"Where is the Immortal Fortress?"

Lucian and Senna both made their way to the viewing window, their eyes fluctuating as they looked at the Immortal Fortress as they drew nearer.

They were so engrossed in it that they forgot to hide the shock and trance in their expressions.

"Yes." Seraphine responded to them.

She stepped on the small stage and floated in front of the two: "What you see now is the full picture of the Empire's Immortal Fortress. ”

Unlike when they went to Demacia, where they measured every inch of land with their feet, the vehicle they took on this return trip was an airship.

Compared to the months of trekking from the beginning, it was only 2 days before the airship had already flown to the area near the Immortal Fortress.

Looking at the obsidian fortress towering in front of you, the black-winged crow hovering low in the sky... The smile on Seraphine's lips deepened.

Small kiosk

It feels so good to be home.

The benefits of this trip, the companions she met, the wealth of insights... Not a lot.

Of course, she was not the only one who had changed, and the construction of the Immortal Fortress had also changed a lot during Seraphine's absence.

As far as the eye can see, more buildings float in the air above the misty sky, and the dark obsidian reflects the star-like brilliance in the skylight.

Seraphine opened her eyes slightly in excitement, her gaze quickly scanning the surrounding scene.

Soon, she made a new discovery!

Not only has the number of floating buildings increased, but even the height of the floating castle itself has increased a lot.

In her eyes, the buildings were connected by blackstone bridges that stretched through the air, like spider webs, extending in all directions, almost connecting the sky.

In particular, the original core area of the Immortal Fortress was now completely floating among the clouds.

Even the Black Gate, which symbolizes Noxus, is held up by magic, second only to the Floating Castle and level with the Trifali Council Chamber.

Seraphine stepped on the small stage and floated happily in front of the hanging window, The new magic city in front of her undoubtedly brought her a lot of freshness, just like a wife who has been doing housework for many years, and suddenly received her husband's roses one morning.

The locals have such expressions on their journeys home, not to mention Lucian and Senna, who have never set foot in this land before.

They had already been completely conquered by the magnificent sight in front of them, and they could not extricate themselves.

Lucian had only heard of the Immortal Fortress and the prestige of Noxus, and had occasionally heard people describe the local scenery and terroir.

But to be honest, no matter whether others speak vividly or not, it is difficult for him and his wife to yearn for it.

They always have a heavy burden in their hearts, carrying the mission of the light sentinels, every day they open their eyes and close their eyes to snipe evil spirits in the dark, walking non-stop, how can they have the time and mind to go to a certain place for sightseeing.

This kind of leisure time never seemed to belong to them, and the place where the two of them appeared would only be a place where the black fog raged.

As a result, they never had the opportunity to visit Noxus, the most powerful empire of the day.

Now that they've seen the majesty of the empire with their own eyes, the two of them already understand... Why Noxus is known as the most powerful empire in the Runeterras.

The capital of Noxus, quite literally, is a castle favored by magic and wind.

The heavy, stately buildings that used to be common were now like a light feather floating in the thin clouds, and almost every corner of the city was filled with the power of magic.

Senna leaned forward, pressed her hand to the glass, allowing herself to enjoy the rare view better and more fully, and after a moment she took a deep breath and let out a soft exclamation:

"What a city of miracles..."

At this time, she and Lucian's hearts were only deeply shocked, the Immortal Fortress...

Perhaps the meaning of the word "immortal" is to describe the city in front of you...

As the airship continued to move forward, as it approached the air harbor of the Immortal Fortress, Senna frowned uneasily, and she could clearly feel that there was something threatening around her all the time.

The weapons in the hands of the Noxian guards were no less damaging to the Wraiths than the Sentinels of Light.

To know... Each of their Light Sentinels has its own legend.

And the weapons in the hands of those soldiers are obviously just some mass-produced equipment.

The world is crazy...

No... It's just that Noxus is too strong...

While Senna was still stained, the airship began to descend and finally docked at the air harbor of the Immortal Fortress.

The airport, a port about 100 meters above the ground, looks like it is specially designed for airships to dock.

Lucian reached out his arm to stop Senna's shoulder, and his eyes soothed her uneasiness and panic, although he himself had uncertainty in his heart, he would not show it in front of Senna.

"Sir, ma'am, let's go, we're here."

Seraphine greeted briskly and took the lead in stepping on the small stage and floating off the airship.

She didn't go far, though, as she stood on the ground next to the airport, smiling and waving at the young mages who were drifting away.

The little mages got into the mechanical vehicles that Ziben had prepared at home, something that Ziben had arranged before he got on the airship.

At that time, he boasted that when he returned to the Immortal Fortress, he would invite these little guys to the best restaurant in the Immortal Fortress for a big meal!

And he assured Seraphine with his conscience that when the meal was over, he and the members of the Chamber of Commerce would be responsible for sending all the young mages home safely.

Only then did he get Salephine's consent, and of course, with his own character, he sent an invitation to Salephine, but Sallephine politely refused.

Seeing the little mages leave, Seraphine turned around and unexpectedly swept several airships that were descending in altitude and heading towards the airport.

She blinked wide, and an interesting idea sprung up in her mind.

"Lady Senna, Mr. Lucian, I think you're interested in the power of Noxus, right?"

"Ma'am, what do you mean?" Senna couldn't figure out the meaning of the words.

Naturally, they wanted to see how strong Noxus was in terms of combat power.

After all, after just a minute of seeing and hearing the Immortal Fortress, this place is not at the same level as Demacia.

Buildings flying in the sky, portable mechanical vehicles that can travel through the clouds, magical devices everywhere...

These things are generally just children's imagination full of fantasy. Noxus, on the other hand, has turned them into reality.

This is just civilian equipment, and Senna doesn't dare to imagine how powerful Noxus's most famous combat power on the mainland can be.

"It just so happens that a warband I know has returned to the Immortal Fortress, and I can show you about it."

Seraphine smiled and floated off the stage towards where the airships had landed.

Laugh at!

As the door of the airship opened, a tall young man with a hammer stepped down from the airship under the expectant gaze of Senna and Lucian.

"Assoc. Prof. Tallis, good afternoon!"

Seraphine greeted Jace with a smile on her face.

But it didn't take long for Seraphine to realize that something was wrong, and Jace didn't seem to be the same as usual.

Well... The expression on his face was so stiff, gloomy and numb... It's like falling out of love 10,000 times.

Seraphine frowned slightly, she had seen many similar expressions on the faces of the soldiers who had survived their first battle.

Looks like Jace didn't have a good experience before... Seraphine said silently in her heart.

"Good afternoon, Mentor Seraphine!"

Seeing Seraphine standing in front of him, the absent-minded Jace had no choice but to squeeze out a smile.

His greeting tone was bitter, and it could be seen that his mood was indeed not high.

After greeting him politely, Jace lowered his eyes again, and with his hammer in his hand, he left in the distance in despair, guided by the airport guards.

"That man is not bad." Senna whispered to Lucian.

She looked at Jace's departing back, her expression a little solemn.

Associate professor... It sounds like the name of the academy, and she estimates that this associate professor of Tallis should be regarded as the deputy general of the war group?

Any lieutenant general, with the equipment he has, can crush her weapons...

That hammer... It's not easy.

"Jace Tallis, an associate professor in the Hextech department at the War College, and a member of the council for Piltover." Seraphine explained.

"I've heard his name, known as the hope of Leather City, and he's now in the service of Noxus?" Lucian withdrew his gaze from Jace's back.

Shadow Isle is a short distance from Bilgewater, and he has been active around Senna since his soul was sucked away.

In Bilgewater, the news he heard most often was from Piltover, and the two were closely linked.

"Sort of... Strictly speaking, he should have just been invited to the front. ”

From Jace's heart, Seraphine heard what happened to the other party in the northern front theater, and she couldn't help but feel a touch of sympathy in her heart.

After learning of Darius' departure, the barbarians, who had been suppressed by Noxus for a long time, went crazy and organized troops to invade the lands occupied by Noxus.

It was also at that time that Victor arrived at the front with the Mechic Legion and staged a real massacre.

"Professor Victor, long time no see!"

Towards the eight-legged machine slowly stepping down from the airship, Seraphine greeted in a brisk tone.

Ergat... It is said that the strongest individual Hex weapon modified by Professor Victor should be remotely controlled by Victor with the 'Soul of Hex'.

"Miss Seraphine... Did the trip to Demacia go well? ”

The burly steel body made an indifferent mechanical sound, a scene that stunned both Senna and Lucian.

The mechanical creature in front of him has no traces of flesh and blood, but it has its own consciousness.

"It's going well, and the council's demands have been fulfilled." Seraphine stepped on the stage and shook around, "Professor Victor, what about the Northern Front?" ”

"The Northern Front, those who dare to defy the Empire, have all been purged. The rest will be taken over by Councillor Delevingne. ”

All cleared...

Hearing this indifferent mechanical voice, Senna and Lucian couldn't help but look sideways.

That's not a good word.

While Seraphine and Victor were chatting, their eyes rested on the special figures that had stepped down from the airship one after another.

It was a humanoid mechanical soldier with a small dark blue magic cube embedded in his chest.

They moved in unison, walked in front of Senna with a regular and powerful step, gathered on the ground of the airport, and then left in unison with the soldiers who had led them.

"It's incredible... Are these mechanical creations? Senna couldn't help but ask.

The soldiers were carved out of almost a mold, and each of them looked humanoid, but was very different from a normal human.

One hand is in the form of a sword, the other is a gun, and the body is wrapped in heavy black-and-red battle armor...

Looks... It's like a ruthless weapon of war.

"They are all subordinates of Professor Victor, and they are also the elite warbands under his command." Seraphine explained with a smile.

Lucian nodded subconsciously, but his gaze lingered on the mechanical soldier.

If he had such an army, how could it take so long to get Sena out.

Noxus's combat power, as they had imagined, had reached an exaggerated level.

To put it bluntly, there are two such warbands, and I am afraid that they will be able to wipe out a small country.

After all the mechanical soldiers had left, Victor's Urgat Machine said goodbye to Seraphine and dragged its heavy body away.

"The one just now was..."

Senna's gaze was still on Urgart and the mech, and she couldn't wait to ask.

Through this Noxus mechanical warband, she saw hope for victory over the Black Mist.

No matter how strong the resentful spirit is, the attack is mostly based on the spirit.

If it is a purely mechanical soldier, it is not afraid of the attack of the wraith.

Not to mention, she can feel a deadly threat on those mechanical soldiers.

They should be powered by magic and be able to deal damage to wraiths.

"Professor Victor, he's one of Councillors Trevary." Seraphine smiled.

Compared to Jace, Victor's introduction is much more concise.

But upon hearing the word "Councilor Trevary", both Lucian and Senna had a look of awe on their faces.

Trevary, the supreme power and power of Noxus.

Each member of parliament represents the supreme strength of the empire.

"No wonder..."

Sena's face was abrupt, but she was also secretly relieved in her heart.

If Noxus pulls out any of them, she can feel irresistible, how terrifying the Shadow Isle must be...

She still firmly believes that the disaster of the Shadow Isle will sweep the entire world, and only by sealing the king again can the disaster come to an end.

And according to the information she obtained, the strength of that king can be said to be the best in the entire Runeterra.

"Let's go, the Empire has arranged a place for you." Seraphine made a gesture of please, "I will report back to the Empire for the follow-up, and I will give you a clear answer." ”

"Excuse me, we'll get to know this place well in case of a disaster." Senna was grateful.

After Laxana and Demacia shut them out, Noxus became their dependent.

After seeing the mechanical legion led by Victor, they had a lot of confidence.

With Noxus' help, their chances of success would have been much greater.
