If there is a country that has been conquering since its birth, it is Noxus that should be the only option in the entire Runeterras.

Located on the eastern side of the continent of Valoran, in the center of the Runeterras, the army of Noxus has invaded the entire Runeterras more than once.

The ancient Noxis were a brutal tribal conglomerate of barbarians who united with a sorcerer known as the Pale Witch to overthrow the rule of the great warlord of the time, Saan Uzur, and built a majestic immortal fortress in his imperial capital, on which they built the center of the empire.

At that time, Noxus faced threats from all sides, so they participated in the war without reservation, and finally the empire expanded year after year.

This history of survival is something that the Noxians are proud of, and for this reason they value strength over all else.

In the eyes of those outside Noxus, it is self-respecting, bloody, brutal, and insatiable, but for those who see through its belligerent exterior, the social atmosphere here is actually unusually inclusive.

All the strengths and talents of the people are respected and nurtured.

As long as you have the ability, you can earn a place in Noxus!

However, just recently, this majestic and vast empire has undergone a change that can affect the entire empire.

Because of the failure of Noxus to invade Ionia, the contradictions within the empire are intensifying, and at this time, the general of Noxus, Svein, returned to Noxus with a broken arm.

Svein was arguably the most scheming and loyal general in Noxus, and he could even kill his own parents for the sake of the Empire.

However, it was such a person who was betrayed by his own people on the battlefield of Ionia.

The army, which was supposed to be in time, ignored Svein's pleas for help and abandoned him and his squad on the battlefield of Presidian.

It was also around that time that Svein had her arm cut off by an Ionian girl named Irelia.

Under the desperate protection of the team members, Svein dragged his mortally wounded body back to Noxus.

After returning to Noxus, Svein did not make a fuss about the betrayal of his allies on the battlefield, because he knew that there were already major problems within the Empire.

Svein entered the Immortal Citadel alone.

Here, Svein strikes some sort of deal with Ram, the demon who represents the secret.

Ram transforms into Svein's arm, giving him a new lease of life, and through Ram, Svein learns all the secrets of the Empire.

Svein finally understood that the monarch he had always supported was nothing more than a puppet controlled by a pair of invisible hands.

And that invisible hand is the black rose that is ingrained in Noxus!

The empire he longs for and loves is nothing more than the plaything of the black rose!

From then on, Svein decided to overthrow the current regime of Noxus and build a magnificent empire with a new order!

With his former prestige, Svein began to recruit people.

And the first thing he found was just an executioner wielding a throwing axe and acting as a liquidator in the Reckoning Arena.

Glory to the Executioner - Draven!

Not just because of Draven's combat power, but because of his relationship with that general.

Svein tells Draingne about his plans, and Draingne readily accepts his invitation.

In the time since, Svein has been plotting everything, and his power seems to be able to rival the Empire.

Until one day, Darius, the imperial general of the expedition to Freljord, returned to Noxus.

Darius, like Svein, gave all their allegiance to Noxus.

Looking at the imminent collapse of the empire, Darius and his army pointed their swords at Svein's army, after all, Svein was a traitor in the eyes of outsiders.

But just then, Svein and Delevingne came to Darius.

"Darius, the corrupt monarchy has left this empire in shambles, and for the sake of Noxus, we need to build a whole new system!" These were the first words Svein said to Darius.

After that, he explained all the pros and cons to Darius in various aspects.

Of course, Darius knew in his heart that everything Svein said was true, and as the Hand of Noxus, he knew better than anyone the decay of the current empire.

"Join me, Darius, I need someone to help me!" Svein held out his hand to Darius.

At the same time, Darius looked at Draven beside Svein.

Draven grinned at Darius, "Brother, as you can see, I've joined. ”

Looking at his favorite brother who had joined Svein's camp, he remembered the grand vision that Svein had told him.

Darius's slowly raised hand shook Svein's hand.

"I have never been loyal to any emperor, I have only been loyal to Noxus! Anything that makes Noxus stronger, I'll do it! ”

In this way, a revolution swept through Noxus like a flash flood and tsunami.

As the two generals who controlled most of the military power of the entire empire at that time, Darius and Svein had great power in their hands.

Perhaps that's why Svein is seen as a thorn in the side by the black rose.

In order to be able to gather more troops, both Darius and Svein recalled most of the soldiers who were guarding the border.

Because for so many years, no country has dared to invade the territory of Noxus, so it doesn't matter if it is recalled.

That's the main reason why Sejuani didn't find much in that city.

Just today, the armies of Darius and Svein have taken over most of Noxus!

Under the protection of Darius and his warband, representatives of the powerful families gathered to hear Svein's plans for the future of Noxus, and swore to support the new regime.

Finally, Darius and his army arrived at the palace beneath the Immortal Fortress.

This is the last obstacle for the empire to establish a new system.

"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”

There was a loud bang at the gate of the palace, and the soldiers in the palace tried their best to block the gate and it was slammed open.

However, their efforts were in vain.

"Boom!"

The majestic gate fell, and a massive figure covered in heavy armor and armed with a giant meteor hammer single-handedly smashed through the gate, knocking all the soldiers behind the gate flying.

Captain Fajon, an absolute confidant of General Darius.

Because of the influence of Zu'an's alchemy technology, his originally thin body was distorted, and he had a huge body of nearly three meters.

At that time, everyone was afraid of him and stayed away from him, except for Darius.

Darius accepted Fajon as a member of his army, and in the ensuing battle, he defeated all enemies who stood in his way.

Just like now!

Behind Captain Fa Rong, because the door was knocked open, the slightly gloomy hall was filled with dazzling light, and in this light, a figure holding a battle axe slowly walked into the main hall of the palace.

Darius!

"Kill them for me!" At this time, the king, who was sitting on his throne, roared loudly.

Receiving the king's order, the only soldiers in the palace raised their swords and rushed forward tremblingly.

However, it was also at this time that Captain Fajon stood beside Darius, watching the soldiers in front of him with Darius.

Without any surprise, all the soldiers stood still, and they just stared at General Darius and Captain Farong in front of them.

The record of General Darius, the Hand of Noxus, flashed through their minds, and they flinched as they looked at the tomahawk in Darius's hand.

There is no doubt that even if they rushed at Darius, they would not do him any harm, but would only become the ghost of his axe.

"I don't want to kill any more and get out of here."

Like an amnesty order, Darius's voice sounded slowly, and the soldiers in the palace could no longer hold on, so they discarded the blades in their hands and ran towards the outside of the palace quickly.

At this time, the king is the only one left in the palace!

"Darkwell, your corrupt rule has left the empire in ruins, and you have let countless Noxian soldiers die on the battlefield in order to satisfy your selfish desire for eternal life."

As if reciting the king's many sins on the throne, Darius shouldered his axe and watched Captain Farong walk towards the king.

And on the throne, the already old Darkwell had a frightened look on his face, his body trembling uncontrollably, but he was still hysterically trying to gather soldiers to escort him.

Approaching, Captain Fajon grabbed Darkwell's head with his big hand, removed the crown from his head, and walked towards Darius.

At the same time, two soldiers arrived in front of Darius carrying a red-hot furnace.

As a symbol of the past and the beginning of a new one, Darius wants to melt the crown.

In the rear, the king's hands clung to the armrests of the throne and roared hysterically.

Suddenly, a figure rushed out from behind the stone pillar on one side, and her red-hot blade slashed through the gap in the armor of Captain Farong's legs, and the crown in Captain Farong's hand fell in pain, she caught it and ran towards the king quickly.

When she came near, she knelt on the ground, held the crown in her hands, and offered him to her king.

She was a slave, the lowest level of the royal palace, and although she had a great talent for swordsmanship, her identity was destined to be lonely for the rest of her life.

But she still chose to stand up at this time and defend her king, because only in this way can she usher in the opportunity to cross the class.

The crown was snatched away, and Captain Farong jerked to his feet, ready to rush at the girl.

But at this moment, Darius's battle axe stood in front of him, and Captain Farong looked at his general, only to find that he was just shaking his head at him.

Captain Farong did not move again, but stood beside Darius and looked ahead with him.

There, the girl held the crown respectfully and fearfully, and the king snatched it away with ecstasy.

"My crown has been retrieved by my slaves!"

After all he had been through, he had become a little insane.

He put the crown back on his head and looked at Darius with a laugh, "Don't you understand, Darius, that it was the gods who returned my crown to me.

This is my kingdom, otherwise, it would be my burial goods! How many people died, if I can't be king, everything doesn't matter at all! ”

Listening to the words of the king in front of her, the girl had a deep pain and struggle in her eyes, and she suddenly realized that what she had been looking for in the past seemed to be nothing more than that.

The king quickly bowed his head and looked at the girl kneeling in front of him.

"Let them see, girl, give your life to your king! on, kill them! ”

Seeing that the girl had not moved for a long time, the king continued to roar sharply: "Come on! ”

In the deathly silence, under the gaze of Darius and the king, the girl looked firmly at the king in front of her.

"Nope."

"You're so daring!"

Seeing that a small slave dared to disobey his orders, the king drew his sword from the side of the throne and slashed it at the girl.

But at this moment, a black battle axe that broke through the air flashed in front of the girl, nailing the king in front of her to the throne!

The tomahawk pierced the king's chest, tearing apart the life he cherished most.

The king's head bowed, and the crown fell off with it, rolling again at the girl's feet.

"Pedal Pedal ~"

With heavy footsteps, Darius walked towards the girl.

Along with the footsteps sounded the low, soul-stirring voice of Darius.

"The king forced you to kneel with hereditary fame and authority, and Noxus made you stand up!"

"Let you be reborn in glory and let the world see it!"

Darius came to the girl and held out his hand to her.

The girl looked at Darius, the light in her eyes fluctuating violently.

After that, she took Darius's hand tightly and straightened her back from a kneeling position.

"Zizizi!"

As they watched as the crown was thrown into the furnace, everyone's eyes reflected the fiery red.

Hot iron flowed from the furnace, and Darius looked up at the girl beside him.

"It will be a sword, a sword that belongs to you, just because you have superb swordsmanship, just because you have the ability!"

From this moment on, Darius had another unwavering follower by his side.

She is different from Captain Farong, or rather, she and Captain Farong are completely polar.

Captain Fajon wears heavy armor in every corner of his body, and he is an indestructible shield in front of Darius!

And the girl never wears any armor, because it will only serve as a restraint for her attack, and she will be the sharpest sword in Darius's hand!

With the overthrow of the old king, Noxus ushered in a new regime.

The Council of Three, the Council of Trevary, came into being!

Today's Noxus is co-led by three members of the Trifali Council.

They are the Svein, the Svein, the force, Darius, and the Pale Witch, who is cunning, who holds a black rose.
