The Glory of Noxus

Wow!

In the dark environment, the fire suddenly appeared.

In the central area of ​​the warehouse.

A rebel wearing steel armor and a red cloak appeared. The dim yellow firelight in his hand lit up, reflecting his pale and wrinkled face.

"It's rare to see the important people guarding Leiser." A soft voice sounded.

The old rebel looked at Tai Lung and Huo Jixing who opened the giant steel door, and an unforgettable hatred suddenly appeared in his cloudy eyes.

"The nobles exploited us, and you turned a blind eye."

"Now, I will follow the pale lady's will and take you together to fall into the underworld!"

The dim firelight fell, intending to ignite the black gunpowder piled around.

hum!

In an instant.

A flash of silver light flashed, cutting off the falling fire with incomparable accuracy.

Huo Jixing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. Just when he was about to speak out, he heard a small sound.

Then, a deafening explosion sounded in the ears, making people feel that the whole world was trembling.

Rumble!

Within the field of vision, tons of black powder exploded, and the energy and heat generated were released instantly, burning the surrounding air and objects.

The dark passages, wide halls, deep warehouses, and sturdy workshops collapsed instantly under the shock wave of black gunpowder.

Suddenly!

A huge roar sounded from the workshop, causing the mountains to tremble.

The rebels who stayed at the foot of the workshop and the mountains looked up in horror and saw that the hills on the creeping plain were undergoing thrilling changes, and the workshop halfway up the mountain was slowly collapsing.

The surface of the hill began to tremble and shake violently, as if a giant hand was kneading it.

Immediately afterwards, huge stones rolled down from the mountain. They rolled in mid-air and made a loud rumbling sound.

As the stones rolled down, the surface of the hill began to collapse, and a huge landslide poured down from the mountain like a giant dragon, crushing the collapsed workshops and drowning the rebels who had no time to leave.

This collapse, caused by black powder explosions, lasted for a long time until the face of the hill had been transformed beyond recognition, replaced by chaos and rubble.

The blood-red sky sheds some bright sunshine.

In the collapsed workshop on the mountainside, there were bursts of tiny sounds.

Wow!

In the rubble-strewn pile of rocks, the light of a silver sword suddenly appeared, lifting up the buried boulder, and then a flash of red-gold flames rose up.

Tai Lung and Huo Jixing crawled out of the ruins caused by the explosion, looking slightly embarrassed.

The robe Huo Jixing was wearing had long been turned into strips and hung on his body. The purple inner armor was also somewhat damaged, and traces of scorch could be seen.

"Thank you!" He looked at Tai Lung beside him and thanked him softly.

At the moment when the black powder exploded, if Tai Lung hadn't stood in front of him and resisted most of the fire shock wave, he would have been even more embarrassed than he was now.

Even so, most of the blood in his body has been consumed, and his face looks extremely haggard.

The silver cloak Talon wore was also scorched in places, but his condition looked much better.

"Black powder!"

Huo Jixing looked around at the hilly terrain, and everything had already changed.

The once solid workshops were covered under the debris flow, and the hills have become ruins. Traces of washouts can be seen everywhere, as well as corpses piled under the rubble buildings.

"Why do the rebels know our identities?"

Huo Jixing thought of the last words of the old rebel, and doubts arose in his heart.

"And the pale lady!" He looked at Tyrone.

While in the warehouse, Tyrone's mood changed significantly when he heard the old rebel say the words "Pale Lady".

"Let's go, go back."

Tai Long seemed to see Huo Jixing's doubts and did not explain, but took the lead to leave the ruins.

Seeing this, Huo Jixing had no choice but to follow them, crossing the complicated hilly terrain, gradually getting further and further away from the area where the rebels were.

On the way back, Huo Jixing saw the rebuilt Noxian camp.

Not far from Rocklund, the terrain is relatively flat.

There are many war masons busy around the camp. They are surveying the terrain, as if they are studying something.

There are armored Noxian soldiers on his side, responsible for security matters.

The original purpose of Tai Lung and Huo Jixing was to investigate the Noxian camp.

However, after being attacked by black powder in the workshop, Tyrone seemed to have an insight into something, ignored the camp, and returned directly to Rocklund.

Outside the majestic city walls, there are flat and wide trade roads.

Huo Jixing saw many injured Noxian soldiers entering the city for treatment along the specially opened passage.

Entering the city, an atmosphere of panic and panic filled the sky.

Chambers of commerce have arranged for guards to inspect the shops lined up on the bustling streets to prevent accidents.

Huo Jixing frowned, somewhat underestimating the impact of the Noxus war group's failure.

He followed Tai Lung to the outside of the castle of the orderly officer Nasr, and unexpectedly saw that the castle had also entered a state of martial law. Many guards were fully armed and lined up to defend the castle.

"What? Perry is dead?"

In the living room, Huo Jixing looked surprised when he heard the news from Nasr.

"Yes, he died unexpectedly in my castle without anyone noticing." Nasr's once kind face was gone, and it was so gloomy that it dripped water.

Death that goes unnoticed.

This means that the murderer can threaten the lives of Nasr and everyone in the castle at any time.

As the orderly officer of Rocklund, receiving such a threat but having no way to do anything about it really made Nasr feel irritable.

"Some people don't want you to come forward to calm the panic in Locklond." Huo Jixing said bluntly after pondering for a while.

The array of guards outside the castle revealed Nasr's fear and prevented him from leaving the castle.

"They want to see a panicked Rocklund!"

Tai Long raised his eyes slightly when he heard this, and sneered vaguely: "I'm going out for a while."

He was involved in the steel workshop, and now he is setting up a rhythm in Rocklund. Do you really think that the Noxian high command is empty?

"You stay here!"

Tailong glanced at Huo Jixing, and then his eyes fell on Nasr.

Then the figure flickered and left the castle.

Huo Jixing saw Nasr's gaze and said comfortingly: "You handle the matter yourself and arrange a nearby room for me at will."

He knew that Tai Lung wanted him to protect Nasr.

After all, he is Rocklund's service officer, and he cannot allow any accidents to occur in the current situation.

"Come this way, my lord!"

Nasr's butler spoke respectfully and led Huo Jixing to the nearby lounge.

Huo Jixing nodded slightly, ordered the housekeeper to bring some food, and then sat cross-legged directly, entering the state of "Inside View of the Body".

The shock wave of black powder eventually caused damage to him in a small environment.

Although it looked fine on the surface, many organs were damaged, misaligned, or had internal bleeding. He needed to recover from his injuries as soon as possible.

After the sumptuous food was served, Huo Jixing was swallowing and digesting while thinking about the impact of the Noxus Chapter's defeat.

Now in the Noxus Empire, there are only two and a half people who can influence many war groups and generals.

One is Darius.

But he was in the midst of clearing out the corrupt aristocratic forces within the empire and had no time to worry about anything else.

Half Draven.

This guy is now immersed in gladiatorial performances and will not leave the capital easily.

Another one is Swain.

As the leader of Noxus and his achievements in Shurima, he is enough to suppress many war groups and generals in the empire.

Huo Jixing's eyes flashed and he realized something.

Maybe the person hiding in the secret is just to let Swain come over.

The new Noxus Empire is in the midst of a power change that has not been seen in thousands of years.

As the core figure who caused power changes, Swain has long been the target of many people who want to get rid of him quickly.

"A confrontation between the old and new forces of the Noxian Empire?"
