Legends of Runeterra

As a child of the Zan family, Irelia has been taught by Rito since she was a child and has mastered excellent riding skills.

So she bought a fast horse and galloped on the wide road towards the Zan family village.

But not long after she walked forward, she discovered that two fast horses were following her.

Before Irelia could make any move, two fast horses instantly accelerated and came to her side.

"Eh? Sister Liti, Sister Saran!?"

After seeing who was coming, the panic on Irelia's face turned into surprise.

"Why are you here, sisters?"

"It was Lady Maggie who arranged for us to protect you!"

Liti, who was on Irelia's left, spoke.

"teacher!?"

"Well, Lady Maggie has seen through your thoughts a long time ago. She knew you would definitely go back, so she sent us here!"

Sarin on the right said directly.

"Teacher, she..."

Irelia was silent for a moment, then immediately reacted.

"My two sisters, I will most likely encounter the Noxian army on this trip, so you... you better not come with me.

Find a place to wait for me. If I can come back within three days, we will go back together to meet the teacher.

If you can’t come back, you can return to the dojo on your own.”

Irelia knew that she would be in great danger if she went there, but the relatives of the Zan family forced her to go.

But these two female guards were different, they were just following orders and had no relatives who were about to be in danger.

The girl was kindhearted and didn't want to see the two men follow her to face the weapons of Noxus.

Even though they were skilled in martial arts, facing an army that was rumored to have tens of thousands of soldiers, they could only kill a few more soldiers and then be defeated.

"Irelia, do you think we are cowards?"

"You misunderstood Sister Liti, I just...just..."

"Okay, Lady Maggie has ordered us to protect you as you head to the Zan family. Once we reach the village, we will immediately return to Presidium!"

"Really? Then Sister Shalin, we agreed that you will leave immediately once we arrive at the village!"

Facing Irelia's expectant eyes, the two guards smiled and nodded.

...

Li En turned into thunder and ran towards Presidium at a high speed.

During the flight, we stopped in the clouds from time to time to take a short rest.

The main reason was that he faced an inner demon that day that was infinitely close to the 'legendary' level. The 'power of the dragon' that destroyed the inner demon contained some kind of higher-level power.

There is not much, just a trace.

But it was just this little bit that brought a huge burden to Li En.

Afterwards, Li En pretended to be unconscious in order to gain favor, but his weakness was real.

After just a few days of recuperation, when Li En activated the 'Power of the Divine Dragon', he could feel a knife-like pain in his meridians.

Even with the cooperation of [Survival of the Fittest] and [Activated Body], Li En could feel his meridians becoming stronger with each stab of pain.

But without fighting desperately, Li En's combat effectiveness did decline to a certain extent due to his injuries.

Floating in the clouds and looking to the southwest, where the Noxian army was located, Li En's eyes were thoughtful.

Dukor's army is about to reach Presidium, and the tragic fate of the Zan family is about to happen - from top to bottom, all the men, women, old and young in the Zan family will be covered in blood.

Although under this stimulation, Irelia awakened, took on the will of Ionia, and became a Blade Dancer.

But when watching the "Silk Dance" before, Li En had already discovered that Irelia's strange "rhythm" was a manifestation of some kind of connection with the "New Earth".

Li En believed that even without the stimulation of the annihilation of the Zan family, Irelia would be able to awaken naturally in the near future.

Besides, it would be fine if Li En didn’t travel through time, but since he did, and just sat back and watched this kind of thing happen, then his travel through time would have been in vain!

Thinking of this, Li En, who had rested well, set out again.

Nearing Presidium, Li En hid his figure and came to Maggie's dojo quietly.

Li En arrived at Irelia's courtyard with familiarity, but what he saw was an empty room.

With his brows slightly furrowed, Li En went straight to Maggie.

"Master Li En, Irelia left the dojo two days ago!"

"Hmm? Then Ms. Maggie, do you know where she went?"

Although he had some guesses in his mind, Li En still asked to be on the safe side.

"Irelia...she went back to her family! I arranged two guards, they may be arriving soon."

"I see, thanks Ms. Maggie!"

After Li En finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait, Master Li En, this is the map to the Zan family village."

Maggie picked up a map from the table, walked quickly to Li En, and handed it to him with both hands.

"Thank you!"

Li En opened it, took a look, and then put it into his magic pocket.

Maggie nodded at him, her eyes filled with expectation.

Now that he knew where Irelia was going, Li En, sensing that Ahri and the others were in a stable state of breath, turned into lightning and leaped into the clouds.

"Lord Li En, I'm counting on you!"

Maggie murmured expectantly as she watched Lee En in such a powerful manner.

Irelia is Maggie's favorite disciple, but she has no way to protect her, not to mention that she needs to take care of all the disciples.

Ionia has been at peace for a long time. Now, among all the forces in Presidium, no one can directly confront the Noxian army, let alone her, the master of the dance dojo.

All she could do was send two guards to ensure Irelia's safety along the way.

...

Everything happened just as Dukor had expected. Wherever the Noxian army went, the weak and incompetent Ionians were unable to stop it.

According to the current situation, we will reach Presidium in less than a week.

By then, he, Dukor Moens, the admiral of the Noxian navy and the commander of the first vanguard in the war against Ionia, will have made an immortal contribution!

In the army camp, all the generals gathered together and the atmosphere was lively as they toasted each other.

"General, you are so wise and brave!"

"That's right, with the General here, we don't need any other support, we can take over Ionia!"

"Hahahaha!"

Dukouer, who was sitting in the main seat, laughed heartily.

"The Ionians are weak and incompetent, unworthy of such a fertile land.

Once we conquer Ionia and turn these resources into military strength, Noxus will be unmatched!"

“Unbeatable!!”

"General, we love you!"

After eating and drinking, a herald came in.

"General, there is a family called the Zan family nearby. Their patriarch, Lito, is a famous swordsman..."

"Hmm? Sword Master?"

Du Kuor, who caught the key words, immediately opened his eyes slightly and muttered something with a little drunkenness.

"Interesting, I want to see how good his martial arts are.

If they are useful, I will make them the first army I recruit in Ionia!"

With the help of his guards, Dukouer propped up his huge body and slowly left the tent.
