Unbeknownst to Justis, the Tritils he was looking for was not in the astral realm at the moment.

In the underworld, deep in the source of the River Styx, guarded by the Mother of Masks, the Ethereal Evil Owl stared at the uninvited guests with a pair of dark blue eyes, but the Mother of the Mask was not as fierce as the Ethereal Evil Lord, but she just put down her work and focused most of her attention on the person who came.

"Guardian Spirit of Styx, this is the first time we've officially met, right?"

Facing the ethereal spirit evil lord who can easily strangle the soul, a beautiful woman with long purple hair wears a purple light gauze short skirt, sits casually on a soul rock, and lifts Erlang's legs, showing a looming mystery.

The only problem is that the temptation of a woman does not shake the evil lord and the mother of the masks, and it is a flattering eye to the blind.

"Outside gods, I think you should understand that we are friends and foes, and the underworld does not welcome soul blasphemers."

"Soul blasphemer? Haha, come on, the essence of the soul is nothing but an energy substance, or a kind of life magnetic field, the soul is not as holy as you say, on the contrary, the human soul I see, everything I think and think, is evil. ”

The woman changed one leg, her slightly cool lips opened slightly, and her narrow eyes were as sharp as knives, looking directly at the silent mother of masks.

"Besides, if the soul cannot be desecrated, why would you use the River Styx to wash away the memory of the soul and let the soul remain in its original state for rebirth, which should be a sign of reverence for the soul? So, you are also a blasphemer of souls? Haha, it's funny that the guardians of the Styx are blasphemers of souls. ”

"Gah! Ga! Shut up! No offense to the Great Mother of Masks! ”

Standing on the shoulder of the Mother of Masks, the Ethereal Evil Owl spread its wings in warning, but the woman snorted contemptuously as if she hadn't heard.

"Mother of Masks, I have some sympathy for you, since Qianjue betrayed you, how many capable mask spirits are there around you?"

The woman who spoke squinted at the Void Spirit, and the undisguised contempt in her eyes made the Void Spirits Scream.

"I'm afraid it's not all the same as this stupid bird, but it's just a waste that can't do anything except shout."

"Gah! Ga! Ga! ”

"You go back first."

"Quack! But ......"

"Go ahead."

Under the orders of the Mother of Masks, the unwilling Void Spirit Evil Owl could only flap its wings and leave.

As soon as the Ethereal Owl left, the River Styx began to boil and tremble, and the Mother of Masks, who had been seated, stood up and looked down at the woman the size of her toes.

No longer the gentleness just now, the sudden explosion of the mother of masks at this moment made the woman feel deadly.

"Star Spirit, tell me your intentions before I get angry, otherwise, stay here."

The woman's smile narrowed slightly, and she became a little more serious,

Although there is a high probability that losing this instrument will not bring any substantial loss to yourself, but probability is probability, even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 probability it may be triggered, after all, it is facing the power of the cycle of life and death left by a complete world, maybe there will be an accident,

He came here to be a lobbyist, not to be a gunman.

"As far as I know, the dominance of the war in the underworld has fallen into the hands of Maude Caesar, and there is no absolutely safe place except for the Styx Realm, where you are the Mother of Masks,

I'm here for nothing else, just to persuade peace, to put an end to this protracted war in the underworld for the time being, after all, I don't like one-sided results, and it's interesting to be evenly matched. ”

"So, you're here to be a lobbyist for Maude Caesar? When did the high outer gods also start to fall into the mortal world and run errands in person? ”

The woman smiled nonchalantly.

"Of course it's because it's interesting, the world is so boring, and that's why the unknown is interesting, don't you think it's interesting to explore the unknown, or use the conspiracy to start a protracted war?"

"An overflow of curiosity invites disaster, and I think you understand the meaning of this sentence better than I do, and as for the protracted war that only increases my workload, I have not had a break from the moment I put on my mask."

"If I die for this, I will rush to it, boredom is the most terrible disaster in the world, if I were to sit here for tens of thousands of years like you, I would choose to commit suicide."

The Mother of Masks was silent and did not speak, for she could not convince a reasonable madman.

"All in all, since this war is already doomed, why doesn't the Mother of Masks try a truce, anyway, for you, the order of the Styx can continue for a day, right? It's better than going into chaos early. ”

"Condition."

"Only a small part of the authority needs to be relinquished."

The woman laughed and used her index finger and thumb to make an imperceptible gap, and the wanton smile on her face could be called victory.

"Open up the authority of the underworld and the material realm, and let your other choice to fight against an enemy you can't resist at all, anyway, the world has been corrupted to this point, why don't you take a gamble and see if Qianjue's betrayal is worth it?"

Maudecaesar has already told me that as long as you are willing to give up this insignificant authority, no matter what the outcome of the war, you can continue to complete your mission by guarding the River Styx, and to be honest, I can't think of a more cost-effective deal, he will be his conqueror, you will be your guardian, you will not have irreconcilable contradictions, will you? ”

By the time the Ethereal Sevil had been ordered to return to the Styx Realm, and the annoying woman had already left, the Ethereal Sevil noticed that the Mother of Masks' aura was a little weak.

"Gah, Mother......"

"From now on, our war with Mordecaesar is over."

"Quack?"

"You go to Qianjue and tell them that the gate of the underworld is about to open."

"Quack Quack ???"

……

In the material realm, the Noxus Empire launched a large-scale war against the forces of the astral plane for the first time.

A total of 160,000 troops of the Third Army and the Eighth Army of the Empire launched an attack from the Black Iron Fort and the Digging Fort respectively by two routes, and the army was mighty and stretched for dozens of miles.

Leading the way were the Dragonfowl Knight Scouts in Demonic Cloaks, and the Imperial Heavy Infantry Corps, equipped with enchanted armor and demon-breaking spears, guarded the Imperial Hex Heavy Artillery Regiment and the Black Lightning Wizard Force in the center of the formation.

On both sides of the Imperial Demon Dragon Lizard Heavy Cavalry Corps, the commander of the Third Legion, Lieutenant General Isaiah, and the military staff officers rode on the Elemental Magic Fortress dragged forward by the Alienated Heavy Rhino, and through the Elemental Perception Network opened by the Magic Fortress, Isaiah and the staff group could immersively perceive the ever-changing battlefield, use magic communication technology to convey combat orders in a timely manner, and issue orders to school-level officers.

In addition to the regular troops, the military department also appointed a magic crystal force of less than 400 people as a special reinforcement to deal with the astral mages.

Dressed in the light enchanted leather armor of a colonel-level officer, Svein held the reins of the dragonscale horse, with a magic steel stabbing sword on the left and a Hextech revolver on the right, and the black-and-red cloak behind him fluttered wantonly as the dragonscale horse marched forward.

After graduating from the Fidellet Imperial War Academy, he fought bandits in the northern part of the Empire, fought the Ionian Resistance, and even pursued pirates by boat, but his past exploits pale in comparison to this great battle.

Looking at the huge army that could not be seen at a glance, Svein puffed up his chest and looked solemn,

He had traveled to many parts of the Runeterra, and he had some knowledge of the armed forces in other places, and because of this, he was sure that the army in front of him that was loyal to the Holy Emperor was an iron army capable of sweeping through the Runeterra.

If it weren't for the astral crossing, with the enterprising heart of the Noxus Empire, I am afraid that the entire Valoran Continent would have been unified long ago.

As an Imperial soldier, Svein's heart was both excited and a little nervous, Lockhee's belligerent blood did not make him lose his ability to judge like other Imperial soldiers, the outcome of the war was still unknown, and how powerful the Astral Force was, he had to fight a tough battle to know.

Soon the dragon fowl scouts of the Third Legion entered the war zone, and at the time of the Blanc Mutiny, the western part of the Dalmo Plain was a high-quality horse farm for the Empire, with flat terrain and grass, and wild cattle and sheep cooing and chirping.

At this moment, the verdant jasper land has been eroded into a strange landform that has never been heard of by the scattered astral energy.

The earth and sand turned into a sparkling monochrome glow like a jewel, and the gray grass grew on the stellar rock and soil that was waist-high, and the gray grass seemed inconspicuous, but in fact it hid unknown plants that gave birth to various elemental magic, including some of the most lethal weapons.

When the dragon bird scout flew from a height of 100 meters, a thorn-like mutant plant suddenly poked its head out of the gray grass, like a radar, opened its spiky stamens in the starlight, locked onto the dragon bird knight, and shot thorns of thorns attached to different elemental magic at the dragon bird.

Some of the spikes are shaped like ice picks, some of them are brewing bursting fire elementals, and some of them are terrifyingly colored lights that shimmer with starlight magic, and can easily pierce through the equipment of dragonbirds and knights with a single blow.

In the previous skirmishes, the Empire had confirmed the existence of the [Elemental Thorn], so the spirited Dragonbird Knight raised his position the moment he was attacked, and even so, more than a dozen Dragonbird Scouts died unexpectedly under the surprise attack of the Starlight Thorn.

The dragon bird and the knight fell from the sky, and the moment they fell into the gray grass, they were grabbed by the man-eating flowers and blood-sucking vines that suddenly poked out, and retracted into the gray grass, and the corpses were not visible.

After confirming the approximate location of the Elemental Thorn, the dragon bird scout withdrew to the sky above the military formation, the legion stopped, and the imperial mage immediately began to cast a spell, and in an instant, a cluster of crimson scorching suns condensed under the starry canopy, and the temperature of the air suddenly increased by more than ten degrees, and hundreds of scorching suns became larger and larger, turning into meteor fire rain and falling on the earth.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! ”、

The flames were shining, the rocks were bursting, and the gray grass with magic resistance characteristics in the violent fire and earth element was reluctantly ignited and torn apart, and it was hard to open up a few kilometers of starlight rock soil without gray grass growing.

Inside the magic fortress, Isaiah frowned, watching as the gray grass in the magic projection extinguished the raging fire by itself, and the gray grass grew unrestrainedly under the abundant magic elements, frantically counterattacking towards the hedr-like starlight rock.

Isaiah was not satisfied with not being able to carve out enough safety zone for 100,000 people at once.

In the previous investigation, the gray grass did not have such a high fire elemental resistance, but now it has undergone a sudden change, if it can't be solved well, I am afraid that it will not be the most suitable position to attack the Star Curtain Enchantment, and the troops will pay heavy casualties.

"Lieutenant General Isaiah, perhaps we can try the elemental herbicide produced by the Imperial Chemical Division."

There are staff members who propose a feasible plan for the main general in a timely manner, and Isaiah is a little hesitant.

[Elemental herbicide] is a kind of "harmless to humans and animals" abbreviation, the scientific name is [inverter element chain plant pyrolytic], is a magic energy biochemical weapon specially developed to deal with the gray grass of the ashing landform, this time the small-scale deployment of biochemical troops is also just in case.

In many experiments, the inverter element chain plant lysate has shown extremely terrible damage to the magic plants and the surface, and the cracker will catalyze the magic elements contained in the magic plants, forming a chain element explosion.

If only a single and limited population of magical plants can be controlled, a population like Grey Grass, which hides a variety of highly concentrated magical plants, will 100% cause an extremely terrifying elemental explosion, and the destruction of the land is secondary, and Isaiah is afraid that the explosion will affect the Imperial soldiers on the edge of Grey Grass.

Isaiah looked at the female mage of the Black Lightning Wizard Force, the female mage's name is Melina, and the level of secrecy is very high, at least Isaiah herself does not have the authority to investigate the female mage.

"Can you use magic to create a barrier?"

"There's no need for a barrier, my mages can withstand the blast wave from the explosion."

"Then I'll trouble you."

Melina didn't see her casting spells, and the female mage just moved her mouth silently, and the order was given.

The troops began to shrink, and a hemispherical non-attribute defensive barrier appeared at the front of the troops, facing the gray grass five hundred meters away.

"Order, all troops are on alert, and the Dragonbird Knight begins to drop elemental herbicides on the gray grass area."

Twenty minutes later, ten extremely skilled dragon bird knights rushed up to a height of five hundred meters with the apothecary carrying the magic jar behind them, hovering away from the effective killing range of the magic plant.

Once ten different drop-off points had been identified, the apothecary cut the load-bearing rope with his knife, and the canister the size of a gas jar fell from the sky and smashed into the grey grass.

"Rush up! Fast! ”

At the urging of the apothecary, the ten dragon bird knights did not hesitate to control the dragon birds to fly higher into the sky, and after the sealing jar fell to the ground, the gray grass began to shrink, quickly releasing the elemental energy that had lost its restraints,

After a few breaths, the elemental energy reached its breaking point.

"Boom !!!"

The heavens and the earth cracked, and the earth shook and the mountains shook. (End of chapter)
