The Glory of Noxus

No, what's wrong with you?

Huo Jixing looked to the side, and saw the four Fearless Vanguard soldiers who were vaguely surrounding him, with a helpless look on his face.

He remembered the dim eyes of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Demacia when he left Fosbyro Town before.

Then he thought about the performance of the four Fearless Vanguard soldiers in front of him at this moment.

He knew in his heart that he had underestimated the love of the Demacians for Lux.

Perhaps he noticed Huo Jixing's current different situation.

Walking in front, Lux, who was chatting with Garen, came back, and a smile appeared on his flawless face.

"This is Diadolu."

Lux pointed to the strong swordsman with black hair, sharp eyes and beard in front of him.

"In the recent war with the Noxian Empire, he fought against a small group of Trifarii on his own and held the Gate of Sorrow for a whole day."

"This is Sebato from Gendler."

Then she smiled and pointed to the armored man with a sword and shield on his back beside Diadoru.

"He killed a terrible abyss giant maggot. The monster wakes up once every hundred years and hunts raging, but now it will never wake up again and will be buried underground forever."

"Its fangs are hung in the palace of King Jarvan, next to the newly hung dragon skull, which was presented by Prince Jarvan and his mysterious brave companion."

Lux turned around and patted the only female warrior among the four.

She looks petite, but her majestic temperament is definitely not inferior to anyone else.

"This is Valya."

"Anyone who underestimates her will suffer a heavy blow. She once led the charge onto the deck of the Sea Wolf Fleet in Dornholde and set their ships on fire."

"Although she almost died in that brutal battle, the final result was that she successfully killed the leader of the Berserkers and hung him on the bow."

Huo Jixing's eyes condensed, and he heard the emphasis in Lux's words.

Dornholde was where he wove lies.

"Rodion, Valya's twin brother."

Lux saw Huo Jixing's mood change, and her eyes flickered.

"Inheriting his sister's might, he once sailed north and set fire to the ships in Frost Harbor of Freljord to set an example and deter any predators who dared to invade from the south."

Huo Jixing nodded gently and looked at the four Fearless Vanguard Legion soldiers in front of him.

When he was in Frost Harbor, he secretly investigated the power of nearby clans. There were ice bloods and elite warriors of the Avarosa clan.

Rodion was able to escape unscathed, which fully demonstrated the terrifying strength of the Fearless Vanguard Legion.

Lux knew everyone in the Fearless Vanguard Legion and had heard everyone's legendary stories.

Now seeing Huo Jixing's embarrassing look in the middle, he hid the smile in the corner of his eyes very well.

Under Lux's sweet words, the four Fearless Vanguard Legion soldiers walked away with a smile.

Huo Jixing was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he saw Garen, who was looking at him fixedly.

"No, Garen, you are the heir of the Crown Guard family and the power of Demacia."

"How can you oppress a Demacia like this if you represent the justice, glory and responsibility of Demacia."

"Oh, I'm a Noxian, that's no problem."

Huo Jixing immediately concealed his inner emotions, remained calm, and lagged behind Lux.

"Miss Crown Guard." Valya, who was leading the warhorse, seemed to have thought of something and spoke.

"Six months ago, Rodion and I passed by Fosbyro after completing the mission in Dornholde. We did not find any unnatural signs of magic at that time."

Lacus looked over and recalled the black fog that filled the night: "Did you spend the night in Fosbyro?"

"No." Valya and Rodion looked at each other and shook their heads gently.

"Why do you ask that?" Garen in front of him vaguely sensed something and looked at Lux.

"Curious." Lux's eyes flickered, hiding the nightmare she encountered.

When she was a child, she heard Garen's secret oath, and she still remembered it in her heart.

Magic is the most important and powerful crisis facing the Kingdom of Demacia, and magic will never be allowed to enter their walls.

Huo Jixing followed the team silently.

When the last ray of afterglow faded and dusk gradually fell.

He looked at Garen and Lux ​​riding their war horses in front of him, and suddenly realized something.

He understood Silas's purpose.

Lux's arrival might be an accident, to pay tribute to her great-grandfather Fossian.

But Garen's coming was definitely Silas's conspiracy.

Using the town of Fossbyro as a prison, awakening the remaining demonic power, imprisoning Garen and his Fearless Vanguard Corps, unable to stop the upcoming plan.

There was even the intention of murdering Garen.

The Crown Guard family was the top powerful nobles in the Kingdom of Demacia.

Its legitimate heir died in the town of Fossbyro, which would definitely cause a shock to the Kingdom of Demacia.

"Tsk tsk, Silas is worthy of it."

"But have you ever thought that your plan will definitely succeed?"

Huo Jixing's eyes fell on Lux, who was talking and laughing, and he was looking forward to it.

Silas openly sought the assistance of the Noxus Empire, but secretly played a trick on himself.

You should know that the magic quagmire of the Kingdom of Demacia not only caused King Jarvan III to be assassinated and died in his own palace.

It also caused the major families to still not agree with his only heir, Prince Jarvan, to succeed to the throne.

"There's movement!"

As soon as Fosbyro Town came into view, Huo Jixing suddenly spoke.

In his red-gold vision, the black fog over the town seemed unusually thick.

Garen immediately looked in the direction Huo Jixing pointed, his resolute face full of solemnity, and entered a fighting state.

His muscles were bulging, his sea-blue eyes were fixed, ready to act at any time.

The warriors of the Fearless Vanguard Corps drove their war horses and lined up beside him, like arrows on a string, and the war horses wearing cobalt blue horse clothes panted rapidly.

Lux also noticed the abnormal changes, and a bitter taste appeared on her lips, which was a trace of magic surging.

She immediately entered a fighting state and held the golden cane tightly.

Lux looked weak, but she had once targeted Garen.

In addition to the power of refraction, she also possessed extraordinary fighting skills.

Entering the town, Garen and Lux ​​saw angry residents pressing a person to stagger through the street and walk towards the market square.

The crowd was crowded and the noise was deafening.

Lux couldn't hear what people were shouting, but she could clearly feel the anger and fear overflowing from the hearts of the townspeople, slowly blending into the black mist.

"Vanguard! Ride!"

Seeing this, Garen could no longer care about anything, roared loudly, and spurred his spurs backward.

Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da!

Under Garen's leadership, only five soldiers of the Fearless Vanguard Legion, like a steel tide, used their extremely high skills to just separate the surging crowd.

Lux rode on Starfire to catch up, and the horseshoe knocked sparks on the stone road.

In the center of the market square, Lux pulled the reins, jumped off the horse, and saw the scene happening.

In her field of vision, two soldiers from the Kingdom of Demacia dragged a crying man onto the auction platform originally used for buying and selling livestock.

The man's clothes were soaked with blood, and he kept wailing.

Judge Giselle stood in front of the man.

Hundreds of Fosbyro residents poured into the square, shouting and yelling at the man, their strong resentment was obvious.

Lacus realized that her magic power had overflowed from her body.

Huo Jixing was quick and patted Lacus on the shoulder, signaling her not to be disturbed by the black mist.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the black mist was very dim and almost invisible.

But in the perception of Huo Jixing and Lacus, the black mist spread like a tide, covering the town.

Lacus adjusted his breathing, suppressed the surging light, pushed away the angry crowd and walked closer, and saw Galen standing at the bottom of the steps of the square.

"Ordo Dayan,"

Judge Giselle was emotional, his voice was extremely hoarse, like sand rubbing.

"I accuse you of murder and conspiring with the black magician!"

"No!" Ordo raised his bleeding face and shouted loudly.

"You don't understand! They have all turned into monsters! I saw their true colors! Darkness, only darkness!"

"Plead guilty!" Judge Giselle stepped forward and glared at Aldo.

The residents of Fosbyro also shouted, and the desire for revenge gushed out from their mouthpieces.

They were on the verge of a fight, and they could rush to the platform and cut Aldo Dayan into pieces at any time.

But the reason they haven't taken action yet is just because of the four Fearless Vanguard Legion soldiers in front of them who are on the verge of a fight.

Facing Galen and the Fearless Vanguard Legion soldiers, they still have reason.

"What are you doing? What's going on?" Lux and Huo Jixing walked to Galen and asked.

Galen didn't look at her, but stared at Aldo who was kneeling on the ground.

"He killed his wife and children who were still sleeping, and then ran to the street to attack the neighbors. He killed three people with an axe before he was subdued."

"Why did he do this?" Lux heard, unable to hide the horror on her face.

"What do you think?" Garen turned his head and looked at Lux and Huo Jixing.

"There must be a black magician nearby."

"It is the power of darkness that is making trouble. Only under the evil influence of the black magician can a loyal Demacia resident commit such a heinous crime."

Lux swallowed her angry rebuttal, pushed Garen aside, climbed onto the platform, and walked towards the person kneeling on the ground.

"Miss Crown Guard? What are you doing?" Giselle glowed and said in an imperative tone.

Lux ignored her questioning, squatted down, and held up Aldo's face.

His face was full of bruises, and one of his eyes was swollen and couldn't be opened because of a blunt object.

Blood and snot flowed from his nose, and his cracked lips had several bloody cuts.

"Look at me carefully."

Lux spoke in a condensed voice, and he was able to control his brilliant spiritual power through his skull and into his scarred body.

Aldo tried to see Lux clearly with his remaining good eye.

His whites were full of bloodshot, and his eyelids were black, as if he had not slept for several days.

"Tell me, why did you kill your family, why did you attack your neighbors?"

Lux's refractive power detected the obstruction brought by the black mist, as if it was hindering her current actions.

"They are not. No. I see. Not them, they are monsters."

Aldo began to pound the ground with his hands, crying, and scarlet blood flowed from his eyes.

"The darkness in human skin has always been hiding among us!"

"I woke up and saw their true faces!"

"So I killed them! I must. I must kill!"

"Did you kill my Luca?"

Judge Giselle realized something and walked over quickly, looking down at Aldo Dayan with hatred on her face, her hands clenched into fists.

"Did you kill my son? Just because he is different?"

Judge Giselle seemed to be heartbroken, with sadness all over her tired face.

But Lux saw the unspeakable shame hidden under the cloak of grief.

The judge's eyes were full of bloodshot and dark circles, but even such a pair of exhausted eyes still revealed a look that Lux was familiar with.

When she was a child, whenever her magic was out of control and exposed, her mother also had this look.

Sometimes her brother Galen would also show this look, thinking that she didn't notice it.

"What do you mean? How is it different?" Lux seemed to grasp a little thought, and stepped forward to hold Judge Giselle's hands.

"No, it doesn't mean anything." Judge Giselle was evasive, avoiding Lux's eyes.

It was this action that made Lux realize how different Judge Giselle's son was.

A demon-tainted!

Luca, her child.

Definitely a demon-tainted!

"I've heard enough!" Garen couldn't hold back any longer after hearing the conversation between Lux and Judge Giselle.

The extremely sharp Demacia steel sword came out of its sheath, and the cold blade reflected Garen's hard face in the twilight.

"According to Demacia's punishment, is there only one charge for murder?"

"Yes, Your Highness Garen!"

Giselle's eyes left Lux's flawless face, tears filled her eyes, and she nodded heavily.

"Ordo Dayan, I find you guilty and I will recruit Garen Crownguard of the Fearless Vanguard to execute Demacia justice."

Hearing the verdict, Ordo raised his bloody face, and a crazy and sarcastic smile appeared, as if something was emerging, and dark whispers appeared in the air, the sound was rough and weak.

At this time, Garen raised his greatsword and made a gesture ready for execution.

Aldo's last words were drowned in the shouts of the crowd, but Lux pieced together the fragments of his words.

At the same time, Garen's greatsword had begun to swing down.

The light was receding.

Not only Lux noticed something unusual.

Huo Jixing, standing in the crowd of Fosbyro, also noticed that the dark black fog covering the town was gradually getting thicker and thicker.

It seemed that the terrifying existence in the dark had completely mastered this land, and could make everything fall into darkness and chaos.

The Temple of the Messenger of Light!

Huo Jixing realized something, and his eyes passed over the market square and fell on the landmark building of the town.

The flames burning on the top of the temple had been completely extinguished since I don't know when.

The diffuse black fog covered the temple, covering the only light.

Lux looked at Garen's actions and exclaimed loudly, trying to stop it.

"Wait!"
