The Glory of Noxus.

The next day, dawn broke through the sky.

The night still lingers in the clouds, and crimson light shines on every building in the Noxian capital.

Huo Jixing's eyes opened and closed, and a flash of red-gold light flashed into the dark pupils.

call!

Between the breaths, a breath of green air seemed like an arrow piercing the air, lingering for a long time.

Then Huo Jixing got up and left the room and came to the restaurant.

A sumptuous breakfast is prepared and the aroma lingers.

Huo Jixing ate directly and just wanted to leave the restaurant after eating.

"Sir, wait."

Heini quickly put down the groceries in his hands, walked over quickly, and carefully helped Huo Jixing dress.

His movements were skillful and gentle, as if he was very afraid of wrinkling Huo Jixing's clothes.

Although Heini knew in his heart that Huo Jixing had already met Lord Swain, he still made every detail perfect.

This is respect for Huo Jixing, as well as pride and importance in meeting Lord Swain this time.

Huo Jixing looked down at Heini's movements and nodded secretly in his heart.

He admired Heini's carefulness and loyalty and saw the change in Heini's mental outlook.

This is not unique to Haynie.

Since Huojixing returned to the Noxus Empire, what he saw and heard along the way made him see a different face of the Noxians than before.

They are more united and braver, working together for the prosperity and strength of the Noxian Empire.

Huo Jixing secretly thought that Swain and Darius were gradually changing the Noxus Empire.

The Noxus Empire, which was once a self-reliant, bloody and barbaric empire, is still in a completely different state.

The center of the Immortal Fortress.

Stretching metal palace complex.

Huo Jixing walked along the stone steps and walked up the triumphal steps.

On both sides are the soldiers of the Trifali Legion guarding the palace. There will be soldiers standing on every twelve steps.

Huo Jixing looked at the red imperial flag fluttering in the sky, at the soldiers of the Trifali Legion who were wearing armor and holding sharp swords and standing upright, and he faintly smelled something unusual.

After a while.

Huo Jixing climbed to the top of the triumphal staircase and saw the familiar metal palace, which was dark and menacing.

Just when he wanted to enter the palace.

The Leiser garrison soldier who had been waiting for a long time came over, bowed and said, "Lord Huo Jixing, please follow me this way."

He pointed to the side hall of the palace and walked slowly over.

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows lightly and looked at the metal palace. He saw the group of eating crows wandering on the top and felt thoughtful.

After entering the side hall.

There was no one in the wide hall for the time being, except for the soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps beside him, waiting for orders.

"Did something happen?" Huo Jixing found a seat to sit down and asked casually.

Hearing this, the young Leiser Guards Corps soldier looked slightly hesitant. Thinking of Huo Jixing's identity, he spoke softly.

"The regional governor of Fort Delver sent his son to meet with the Trifari Council."

"Lord Commander, they are dealing with it in the main hall."

Huo Jixing narrowed his eyes, and information about Diver Fort quickly came to his mind.

Dredgefort, Northland Fortress.

It is the northern gate of the Noxian Empire.

The war he experienced before on the northern border.

One is to resist the invasion of the Winter's Claw tribe, and the other is to protect the safety of Dredge Keep and the Iron Thorn Mountains.

Because the Dredge and the Ironthorn Mountains have very important iron ore resources, all the best plate armor in the Noxus Empire comes from the underground of the Ironthorn Mountains.

etc.

Huo Jixing had a flash of inspiration, as if he was recalling something, and asked in a solemn voice: "Is it the Varrokan family?"

"Yes!"

The young Leather Guards Corps soldier looked at Huo Jixing in surprise and nodded lightly.

"The secret agents of Leiser's garrison and the Assassin's Guild have received news that Fort Diver intends to break away from the empire and become independent."

"Independent?" Huo Jixing almost laughed out loud.

It's just a northern fortress.

Even if their gold supports the empire's conquests, the steel they produce protects and arms the empire's wars.

But the Varrokan family really thinks that with their power, they can protect the resources of the Iron Thorn Mountains?

Their current power and status is based on the strength of the Noxus Empire.

"According to the ancient covenant, the ancestors of the Varrokan family gave up their sovereignty and surrendered to the throne of the Noxus Empire." The young Raisei Guards Corps soldier said angrily.

"But now, the person to whom they swore an alliance, the last person to sit on the throne, is dead."

"So they thought the covenant was void."

"Drueburg and the Varrokan family have no obligation to continue to pay any taxes, and the Ironthorn Mountains will no longer belong to the Noxus Empire."

"No!"

Huo Jixing shook his head slightly and said with great certainty.

"They will continue to abide by their covenant."

"Believe in the Trifali Council, believe in Lord Swain, and believe in General Darius."

Huo Jixing recalled that in his past life memories, Diver Fort had indeed had repeated behaviors.

The result was a failure, the governor of the Diverburg region was replaced, and the Varrokan family underwent a purge.

The waiting time is very long.

Huo Jixing chatted with the soldiers of Leiser Guard Corps.

It has to be said that each one of them has a unique talent to be able to join the Leiser Guard Corps.

The soldiers of the Reiser Garrison in front of them were very familiar with many news in the Noxus Empire, and they spoke eloquently.

Da da! Da da! Da da!

Three steps of varying severity sounded.

Huo Jixing heard the news and went over, and saw Swain and Darius in the corridor connecting the side hall to the main hall.

Swain walked in the front, holding a black cane. Darius was half a step behind, and the two talked softly.

As if aware of Huo Jixing's gaze, Swain looked over, a fine red glow appeared in his dark eyes, and the look of surprise showed in the corners of his eyes.

Seeing Swain stop, Darius followed his gaze and looked over. The anger on his hard face disappeared, and a smile hung on his face.

"I've met General Darius, I've met Lord Swain."

Huo Jixing immediately stood up and gave the two a standard Noxian military salute.

The young soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps also saluted, and then slowly left the side hall, leaving the three of them behind.

Swain took the main seat, and Darius sat on the right, leaning lazily on the back of the chair.

"It seems that you gained a lot from your trip this time."

Swain looked at Huo Jixing. His thick gray hair was spread over his shoulders, and his dark eyes were filled with light.

"It's not bad." Huo Jixing laughed.

When he met Swain's eyes, he could now face the terrifying pressure that once brought him calmly.

At the same time, under his spiritual perception, he was vaguely aware of the terrifying power hidden in Swain's body.
