When Rose returned home, she saw Lester leaning against the fire reading a parchment scroll.

These scrolls, which record the strange myths or history of the Valoran continent, Rose has inadvertently collected a lot of them on weekdays, and it is not bad to practice reading for Lester who is eager to learn at this moment.

"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep soundly? ”

Wrapping her arms around the man's neck from behind, Rose pressed her face to the man's ear in search of warmth.

A small attack on Rose's pretty face, Lester put down the scroll and leaned on Rose's shoulder.

"You're gone, how can I sleep."

"I'll say something nice, but I love to hear it~Reward you~"

After letting go of Lester, Rose spun around, took off her high heels and sat in the man's arms.

I don't know if it's an illusion, she has always felt that she seems to be getting more and more attached to the man in front of her recently, not only Rose, but also hidden in a dark corner, and the frequency of bathing has become a little frequent recently.

It seems that there is something beyond magic in men, and when you carefully probe it with magic, you always find nothing, as if you have an illusion of yourself.

"Going to a meeting in the middle of the night, what happened to you, right? I seem to have heard Meredith say that the recent war has been a bit unfavorable? ”

Gently patting the woman's smooth belly, Lester's expression was a little worried under the fire.

"Yes, the barbarian tribes and robbers in the north have come over, but the immortal fortress does not have enough soldiers."

"You're not going to war, are you? I won't allow you to go, and if you do, I'll go. ”

Looking at Lester's worried gaze, Rose's heart trembled, slightly avoiding the man's gaze, but her mouth was smiling happily, gently holding the man's hand that slapped her belly.

"How can it be, no matter how I say that I am also a senior member of the Black Rose Academy, it is not my turn to go to the battlefield for such a thing."

"That's good."

Because Lester had just added a few dry sticks, there were a few 'crackles' from the stove from time to time, and there was a different atmosphere in the silent night, but the two of them enjoyed the warmth and tranquility of each other.

Long.

"Lester?"

"What's wrong?"

"Do you have any remaining memories...... How to deal with cavalry? ”

Lester was stunned for a moment, and thought about it.

"There are several ways to do it, but ......"

"Let's talk about it~"

Shaking Lester's shoulder, Rose tries to knock Lester out with a stun attack.

"Hey, don't shake it, don't shake it, I'm dizzy."

After a little fighting, Lester hugged Rose back before he spoke.

"Let's talk about the situation first, different situations have different ways to deal with them."

Sighing, Rose buried her head in her voice, her voice a little muffled.

"There is a bandit group that has gone south from the west side of the Gorrell Mountains, bypassing the Noxian army defense line on the east side, and plundering all the way down to the south, the bandit group has 100 horsemen, it is not easy to deal with, we have no cavalry."

"Do these robber riders have stirrups? Will you ride and shoot? What is the main weapon? ”

"Stirrups? What's that? ”

Asked a little blankly, Rose continued, "If I'm not mistaken, the robber riders are probably armed with wooden spears or one-handed knives of their own making, and there are too few people who can shoot arrows on horseback, and even a short bow on horseback is not a threat." ”

"That's right." Looking at Lester's thoughtful appearance, Rose puffed out her face and twisted her hand around the man's confident cheek.

"Why don't you say it soon?"

"This situation is very easy to deal with, if you have a strong bow and a hard crossbow, as long as you use a spear to resist the horse and force the rider back, you can use a long range to defeat the enemy, if you don't have a strong bow and a hard crossbow, then you can only dig a horse pit, set up a tripping horse, and then use a long-handled hook and sickle to cut off the horse's legs after the cavalry formation is scattered, killing the knight who has landed......"

Lester noticed that Rose's eyes had become a little dazed and looked silly.

"Rose?"

"Lester, I don't know what you mean by 'falling horse's hole' or 'falling horse's long rope', but I'm sure you have a way."

Standing up from Lester's arms, Rose's face was a little serious and a little hesitant.

"Tomorrow I will send 5 mages to follow the Noxian Levy to the Gorrell Mountains to stop the bandits from the south, you ...... Do you want to go? If you can play a key role in defeating the bandits heading south, Noxus will have a place for you. ”

Smiling, Lester raised an eyebrow in a relaxed tone.

"Noxus or something, it doesn't really matter to me...... But if I can help you, I'll definitely go. ”

Rose's eyes were misty.

Leicester ...... I'm afraid you'll leave me one day and go somewhere I'll never find you again......"

"If I had to leave, I would definitely go to a place with you......"

The fire was raging, and the crackling sound of dry wood was gradually muffled by the seductive cat meow.

I don't know how long later, somewhere in the underground city of the Immortal Fortress, a woman with a cloak and hair that seemed to have lived for a long time suddenly opened her eyes, struggled to take off her cool leather armor, threw down her magic staff, and stepped into the warm bath heated by magic with a complicated expression......

The next day, before dawn, the Noxians, who had received the news of the conscription, came to the Conqueror's Square and began to assemble.

Outside the square, hundreds of children and young children wiped their tears from their eyes, and in their blurred vision, their loved ones seemed to be getting farther and farther away from them until they would never see each other.

Obviously standing in front of the Conqueror's Square, Nadalz always felt that he was standing in front of the abyss, with a bottomless pit under his feet.

The old woman who was limping with a tattered piece of skin over her body, holding a short knife that was only the length of her arm, glaring hard at her eyes, trying to make herself look fierce and mature, and holding a wooden stick with iron nails, limping old woman......

Of these people, a few survived.

As if his eyes had been pricked by a needle, Nadalz's eyes were a little sour and he lowered his head slightly.

Leather armor, no, it's just a piece of rotten skin, and the reason why it's rotten on the body is only because there is no leather armor left.

The short knife of the gap is the only relic left to her by her dead mother, and at this moment, she will also go to the battlefield with this short knife like her mother.

The old woman has no family, and she chooses to bring her despair to the last moments......

Stendhal stood to the side, his eyes deep.

"No matter how many people come back this time, the will and glory of Noxus will be truly engraved in everyone's hearts, and after this battle, 'Noxus' will become the blood flowing in the body of Noxians."

Hearing Stendhal say this, Nadalz also raised his head.

"A total of 421 people, 50 disabled soldiers, 225 elderly people, 141 young and middle-aged women who have just crossed the 20-year-old age barrier, 5 black rose mages ......"

"No, it's 422 people!"
