The Glory of Noxus.

Rocklund Plains.

The autumn wind blows gently across the wilderness, bringing a hint of coolness.

Huo Jixing and Catalina walked on this vast land. Under the sunlight at noon, everything was so peaceful and beautiful.

The two of them walked along the wide and flat road and arrived in front of the Noxian camp.

On the right side of the camp, there was what seemed to be a long queue of people, turning onto the path and moving forward slowly.

Huo Jixing looked from a distance and observed these people.

Some of them are imperial soldiers, some are ordinary civilians, some are trading caravans, and some are nobles wearing brocade uniforms.

Listening to the different accents and looking at the different clothing styles, you can tell that they come from different regions of the Noxus Empire.

And the place they went to was the portal of the Noxus Empire——

【Noxtra】!

Since the Black Powder Plot, Swain and the Trefari Council have begun to implement new policies towards Noxtra throughout the empire.

Each city and the Noxian warband stationed nearby will supervise and register the names of those entering and exiting.

Huo Jixing and Katarina had just returned to the Noxus Empire and couldn't do it cheaply yet.

In order to avoid unexpected trouble, the two of them walked towards the black and ferocious Noxian camp in front of them, preparing to directly find the commander of the camp.

It just so happens that [Noxtora] is also near the camp, which is very convenient.

"He who comes is stopped!"

Seeing someone entering the camp's security area, the Noxian Legion soldiers in front of the camp gate quickly looked over and issued a warning.

The sharp blade in his hand glowed with icy cold light, pointing at Huo Jixing and Catalina.

At the same time, the Noxian archer on the watchtower of the camp took off the arrows on his back, gently pulled back the bowstring, and pointed it at the two people in front of the camp.

The burning sky phenomenon late last night put this Noxian camp on high alert, and also implemented strict control over [Noxtra].

Just as Huo Jixing was about to speak, he saw Catalina stepping forward beside him.

Under his surprised gaze, Catalina took off the felt hat of her gray cloak.

Long crimson hair fell down, and a fierce and cold face appeared in front of the Noxian legionnaire.

"It's Lady Katarina!"

In front of the camp gate, there were bursts of exclamations.

The Noxian legionnaires who were still vigilant immediately ran over and saluted Katarina.

The many dangers involved in Katarina's execution have already made the name of the Ominous Blade resound throughout the Noxus Empire.

Her appearance and characteristics, along with the spread of her reputation, were deeply rooted in the hearts of Noxians.

"I need to see the camp commander." Catalina spoke softly to the legionnaire in front of her.

"Okay, someone has been arranged here to inform the commander." the Noxian legionnaire replied.

Catalina nodded slightly, passed the legionnaires, and walked towards the open iron door with Huo Jixing.

As soon as they entered the camp, the two heard the sound of footsteps.

Huo Jixing looked over after hearing this and saw a strong man wearing black armor and a solemn expression walking over quickly.

"I've met Lady Catalina." The camp commander saluted respectfully.

Then his eyes fell to Catalina's side, confusion appearing on his face.

"Huo Jixing, belongs to the Leiser Guard Corps."

Huo Jixing took off his felt hat, met the camp commander's gaze, and spoke with a smile.

Compared to Katarina's name that resounds throughout the empire, he can only be regarded as a rising newcomer, far from being comparable to the many heroes of the Noxus Empire.

"I've met Mr. Huo Jixing." The camp commander maintained proper etiquette and saluted.

Then, he remembered what happened last night and asked in a serious voice: "Do you two adults need our help with anything?"

"No, we are just passing through Rocklund and need to borrow Noxtra to return to the imperial capital." Huo Jixing said.

When the commander heard this, he immediately patted his chest and assured: "You two adults can use it at any time."

After speaking, he and the guards beside him gave instructions and personally led Huo Jixing and Catalina towards [Noxtora].

In front of the building made of black stone, a long line of people entered the building after being reviewed by Noxian legionnaires.

Because of the camp commander's guidance, Huo Jixing and Catalina saved the time of queuing and passed through the dark gray corridor.

Darkness passes and light emerges.

Huo Jixing looked up and saw Noxtora again, a building that looked like a giant city gate, with red imperial flags flying high on both sides.

Inside the giant black stone door, a ripple-like vortex of air was quietly suspended.

After Huo Jixing thanked the camp commander, he and Katarina entered [Noxtora].

Buzz!Buzz!

The air vortex suspended inside the door suddenly rippled and made a trembling sound.

The solid black stone door also trembled slightly, and majestic rune magic energy surged around it, reflecting a mottled light.

When Huo Jixing and Catalina came to their senses again, they were already in another [Noxtola].

"came back!"

Huo Jixing walked out of the huge black stone gate, looked at the stretching mountains in the distance, and saw the capital of Noxus standing on the plains.

The dark gray city walls seem to be made of iron, towering into the clouds and intimidating.

Between the clouds, red imperial flags hung down along the wall, dancing gently under the autumn wind, like red rays of light piercing the sky.

"Let's go!"

Huo Jixing withdrew his gaze, suppressed the restless emotions in his heart, and spoke softly to Catalina, who was also dazed beside him.

Accompanied by Katarina, the two of them successfully left the fortress at their feet and entered the guarded Noxian capital.

At the city gate, Huo Jixing and Catalina looked at each other and walked on different paths.

As a senior non-commissioned officer of the Leiser Guard Corps, Catalina needs to report to the Trifali Council.

And she is also the heir of the Du Kecao family. After returning to the capital, she will inevitably have to deal with family affairs.

Huo Jixing was seconded to the Leiser Guard Corps.

Although he returned to the capital secretly this time, he did not need to rush to report to the Trifali Council.

Within the capital of Noxus.

Huo Jixing walked along the flat and wide avenue, looking at the familiar buildings and buildings beside him.

In his mind, he recalled that he was once so impulsive, leaving his own mark on this city.

Leaving the outer city, he entered the solemn Immortal Fortress and returned to his residence.

Huo Jixing stopped and looked at this small house that belonged to him, with a look of longing and reminiscence on his face.

"Afraid of being close to home?"

He suddenly chuckled, shrugged his shoulders, and pushed open the thick door.

Crunch!

The door opened, and the familiar layout came into view.

"who?"

Hearing the door open, a cold child's voice sounded in the room, as well as the sound of hurried steps.
