Hill City is located outside of Demacia, and has always been a transit city for allies outside the border, and it is not a problem to accommodate more than tens of thousands of people.

The city is now filled with allies who have fled the war from all sides, and some of the tribal allies with combat power have joined in on their own to fight against Noxus with Demacia.

After entering the city, you can see many makeshift camps, as well as all kinds of people dressed in different costumes, gathering together to talk and chat.

At this time, most of the turmoil outside the country has been stabilized by Govin IV, only the Gate of Sorrow has not been recovered, if this matter is not resolved, Noxus, which occupies the Gate of Sorrow, is like a sword hanging at the door of Demacia.

And this is also a problem that Jiawen IV has to face at this moment.

If he couldn't recover the door of sorrow, he didn't want to leave, but now, how could he do it by talking.

"What's going on at the Gate of Sorrows?"

Walking on the road, Lu Qi asked out loud.

Jiawen IV sighed slightly: "This snow has given Noxus a chance to breathe. Taking advantage of the heavy snow, they strengthened the city walls and reorganized their troops, and now if they want to storm again, we will suffer too much. ”

This time, Noxus launched a rapid attack, and no one expected that Noxus, which had been stopped for more than ten years, would suddenly send troops to attack the Gate of Sorrow.

The most important thing is that at this time, they also have the cooperation of those lawless people outside the border, or the riot of those lawless people, which is what Noxus means.

For a time, Guanwai directly became a lawless land, and many allies were attacked, almost in chaos.

Noxus sent a part of the warbands to assist the outcasts, bandits, bandits, and tribes.

The rest concentrated on attacking the Gate of Sorrow.

In this situation, the Gate of Sorrow lasted only seven days and finally fell.

Two days later, Demacia's reinforcements arrived, as time was wasted dealing with the wandering warbands and tribes along the way. But by this time Noxus had occupied the door of grief.

Gavin IV quickly gathered his forces and planned to storm the Gate of Sorrow and retake it.

However, it was snowing heavily, and in this bad weather, the terrain itself was not favorable to the Demacian side, and if it attacked again, I was afraid that it would pay a heavy price.

But if it is not attacked, it will only give Noxus a chance to strengthen the breached city wall and reorganize the scattered warbands.

In the end, Jiawen IV chose the latter.

After the snow stopped, he sent out his rangers to check on the situation, and now that Noxus had fortified the walls, the assault would also cost a lot of money.

This wave of time and place is on the side of Noxus.

In addition to helplessness, Jiawen IV was helpless in his heart.

But he didn't want to just give up.

"It's a big deal, it's a big deal, anyway, with me here, those bastards in Noxus don't want to go one step further!"

Jiawen IV's eyes were firm, and he clenched his fists as he spoke, and his whole body was repeatedly burning with fierce fighting spirit.

He has the determination to keep going, and he must wash away the shame left by his grandfather at the gate of sorrow.

And for the sake of these allies at the border, he can't retreat either.

If even he retreated, Noxus's butcher's knife would only reach out to them, and the situation like the lizardfolk would only increase.

Lu Qi said, "Then I'll be here with you." ”

"You've come out this time, so naturally I don't want to drive you away." Gavin IV and Lu Qi walked side by side on the road, and glanced at him sideways, "However, if there is no progress, you stay for a while, and you are ready to go back first." ”

"This time, you and my brother both ran outside this pass, don't think about it, I know, those ministers must have jumped their feet. I know your temperament, and you should leave it to me. ”

He said earnestly, not wanting to let Lucci stay outside this level for long.

Naturally, he knew what he meant.

After all, just like Minister Roy said, how can there be two princes running on the battlefield.

The blood of the royal family must always be left in the country.

Otherwise, if something happens, the whole country will be in chaos.

This kind of thing has never been child's play.

Gavin IV also thinks the same, this time he doesn't know how long it will take with Noxus, anyway, he has made up his mind to spend it forever.

"There's no urgency here, anyway, let's see if there's anything to be done first."

Luck nodded.

Hui Wangdu must be back, but he wants to go back together.

Chatting, everyone has come to the barracks, and they can see the inside of the barracks, and the white-armored soldiers are not lax in training even at this moment.

Always ready to face any battle.

At this moment, two figures stepped forward.

When Lu Qi saw the two, he said hello: "Captain Lev, Galen, long time no see." ”

The two of them followed Govin IV into the army this time, and they were counted as his lieutenants, and they also led a part of the army each.

When Lev heard this, he replied, "Long time no see, Your Royal Highness. ”

"Long time no see."

Galen also said hello, then looked at Lux beside Luci, and frowned: "Why are you here too?" ”

Lux looked at him and snorted, "Can't you?" ”

Galen's brows were still furrowed, he sighed, and whispered as if talking to himself: "There are obviously enough troubles outside the gate. ”

Although his voice was small, the words still entered the ears of Miss Crownback word for word.

She immediately raised her eyebrows unhappily, and sneered: "I'm here to solve the trouble you can't solve!" ”

"I went on training." Galen didn't seem to want to respond to her words, and said hello to Gallvin IV and Luci, and left.

Lux glared at his back, then looked away arrogantly.

The way the brother and sister get along with each other has long been strange.

Since the last bedwetting incident, Lux has always had a grudge against Galen.

But whoever puts this on will definitely have resentment.

Then the group continued to move forward and came to an empty playground, where a huge figure fell from the sky.

When I looked up, it was a silver-winged dragon bird.

Dragonbirds are ferocious predators that live among towering cliffs and possess great strength.

Despite this, on the rare occasion that some people can become intimate companions with these creatures, becoming dragon bird riders.

Dragoon riders served in the Demacian Army, where they played the role of reconnaissance of the enemy and disrupting the enemy's line.

The gold content of a drake rider is no less than that of a fearless pioneer warrior, or even rarer.

Because there are not so many dragons.

At this time, the silver winged dragon with seven or eight meters long wings slowly fell in front of everyone, accompanied by a gust of wind.

This big thing is also displayed in the eyes of people.

It is three or four meters tall, and the feathers on its body are like a layer of silver armor, and it looks extremely beautiful in the sun.

The body length is about seven or eight meters, the body is very huge, the mouth like the beak of an eagle, the eyes full of human nature reveal the aura that no one should enter, and the whole body is majestic.

It just crawls on the ground, and it invisibly brings pressure to people.

This is a dragon bird peculiar to Demacia, even the kind that accompanies humans at a very young age, and under biological instinct, it is still difficult to tame.

However, once tamed, it is the most reliable companion on the battlefield and the most feared ace of air combat.

This silver-winged dragon has a dragon knight wrapped in armor, and the armor on his body is closely connected like scales, and among them is a layer of chain mail, even the head is tightly wrapped.

She fell to the ground and slowly took off her helmet, revealing black hair and a delicate face.

"Long time no see, Your Royal Highness."

She greeted Lu Qi with a smile.

"Sisleya, long time no see." Lu Qi also smiled at her, "It seems that you have a good run-in with the dragon bird." ”

"yes." Heatheria smiled, reached out and rubbed the feathers of the dragon bird on the side, "We've been through many battles together. ”

It was some time after she joined the Dreadnought that she discovered a talent for harnessing dragon birds.

Dragonbirds have a certain level of intelligence, and often only identify one dragonbird knight, so when humans choose them, they are actually carefully selecting humans.

So, the lucky Sisley was chosen by a dragon bird, and this female dragon landed beside her from the sky and showed great affection for her.

So Heathlia became a dragon knight.

With her talent, even if she controls dragons and birds, she can do it very well.

Lu Qi really wanted to see what it was like to ride a dragon bird and fly high in the sky.

But it's only to think about it, he's not a thrill-seeker.

After chatting with Heathlia for a while, the group continued on their way.

Walking on the road, Jiawen IV remembered something: "By the way, second brother, I received a letter from China in the morning, and I will send it to you later." ”

Hearing this, Lu Qi nodded, and had already guessed in his heart who wrote the letter.

Then they went to the quarters arranged by King Jarvin IV, and then began to clean up, and when they were almost done, it was already dark.

Another day is coming to an end, and everyone who has been on the road for so many days can finally have a good rest.

Luci sat by the window, watching the night outside, and then took out the letter from King Gawain IV.

Looking at the family seal of the Laurent family on it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he took it apart and looked at the letter.

"Lu Qi, half a month is about to pass in a blink of an eye.

I'll admit I still miss you a little.

Recently, I just got on the sword list, and there are more and more people to challenge, and there are more and more people who come to challenge, and time seems to be unable to slow down.

But don't worry, those people won't be my match.

I heard that you had gone to Guanwai, and if I had known, I would not have returned to Miyin City, but would have gone with you.

You've always done whatever you wanted, and you're willful. But I know that you must have your own reasons for doing everything.

So, wait for you to come back.

I'd like to tell you more in person.

In short, protect yourself.

A year ago, I would go back to the royal capital.

It's a long way to go, so you don't have to write a reply.

——

Fiona, 679, November 27. ”

After reading the letter, Lu Qi folded it and looked at the moon hanging outside, wondering if Miss Kenji was also looking at the moon at this moment.

Before you know it, it's December.

A year is about to pass, but I don't know if I can go back before the end of the year.

Demacia also has the saying that there is a new year, no matter where it is, twelve months have passed and the new year has arrived, which is of great significance.

If you want to go back a year ago, the door of sorrow, you have to think of a way.

But now that Noxus has firmly occupied it, it seems that there is no opportunity to take advantage of it.

A frontal assault is certainly not a good idea.

If that doesn't work, you'll have to try something else.

Luki's eyes flickered, then he closed the window and lay down on the bed.

I'll think about the detailed method tomorrow, and I'll talk about it today.

Silver City.

The Laurent family.

In the backyard, Fiona, who had just finished training, sat on a bench in the garden, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

A cold wind blew in the courtyard, blowing her short hair, and the moonlight fell on her white cheeks, reflecting this face with surprisingly beauty.

On the side, Amda walked over, looked at Fiona who was sitting there, and said, "You still have a duel tomorrow, don't you go to rest?" ”

Fiona shook her head slightly: "Sit down a little longer." ”

Amda thought for a while and said, "I think in the past half a month, have you pushed yourself too hard." Actually, you don't need to be so tired, in half a month, you can't fight more than twenty duels, maybe it's better to take a break. ”

Fiona looked at him and smiled, "That's where it is." ”

Amda said again: "With your strength and talent, you can take your time. Why is there such a hurry? ”

Fiona's eyes returned to the moon: "Because there's no need to waste time." ”

Amda was puzzled, "But."

Fiona interrupted him: "It's okay, if I'm really tired, I don't need anyone to say it, I'll have a good rest myself." But now, I'm not tired. ”

"Okay."

Amda didn't say anything more.

He did feel that his sister had been resting too little lately, and every day was either training or dueling.

Although her fame and shoulder rankings were rising, he was more worried about her exhaustion.

Others care about the honor of the family, and he cares more about his sister's body.

Fiona has been an assertive girl since she was a child, so Amda chooses to trust her.

"Go to bed early."

With that, he didn't bother Fiona and left alone.

Fiona continued to admire the moon quietly.

She is indeed not tired, or rather, she enjoys the current state, no longer controlled, free.

What's more, at this moment, she has a reason to work hard.

If she doesn't work harder, I'm afraid she won't even be able to see that guy's back in the future.

Fiona has always been a good woman, and just beating him in bed doesn't satisfy her.

Even if she already knew that guy was a demon, she always had the strength to not admit defeat in her heart.

If she can't even see his back, what qualifications does she have to stand by his side?
