Legends of Runeterra

"Alright! You two, be quiet!"

Su Ma flicked her fingers, and an invisible stream of air flew out, hitting the two brothers on the forehead with just the right amount of force.

"Snapped!"

"Ouch!"

Yasuo covered his forehead and cried out in pain, while Yongen immediately turned around and bowed.

"Disciple Yongen has lost his composure. Elder, please punish me!"

"It's okay, get up, Yongen."

Su Ma waved his hand, and a stream of air gently lifted Yongen up.

"Now that the Noxian army has not yet invaded the province of Baruo, you two brothers do not need to argue.

We need to be cautious in resisting invasion and defending our homeland."

“But Elder, are we just going to watch them invade and do nothing?”

"Yasuo, every disciple in the dojo has a family. If they act rashly, the despicable Noxian army will not care about anything. What about the villagers then?"

"As long as we eliminate all the invaders, who can hurt them?"

"That's easy to say, but can you really take out an entire army, and even their subsequent reinforcements?"

"I... that's better than you doing nothing and hindering others here!"

"you!"

"What's wrong? Did I get it right?"

“Swish~!”

The sound of a sword interrupted the quarrel between the two brothers.

The two brothers, who had been disciples of Elder Suma for many years and had a master-father-like relationship with him, understood that the elder was really angry this time.

The two of them immediately knelt on one knee, lowered their heads and waited for the elder to speak.

"The invasion of Noxus is inevitable. What you two said is a bit extreme and should be combined.

Yongen, take your disciples to check the secret passages and prepare supplies. Once Noxus lands, immediately arrange for the villagers to evacuate!"

"It's the elder!"

"Yasuo, take the rest of your disciples with you, collect intelligence from various channels, and keep a close eye on Noxus' movements!"

"I understand, Elder. Just leave it to me!"

Yasuo patted his chest and replied confidently.

"Well, go ahead. Remember, be careful!"

After the two brothers left, Elder Su Ma breathed a sigh of relief and looked towards the courtyard.

“Clatter, clatter~!”

The breeze blew the leaves, making a sound like waves.

...

The southwestern coast of Navoli Province has become a Noxian-occupied area.

The imperial flag, covering the sky and the sun, fluttered freely in the sea breeze.

The houses that originally belonged to the local elders and landowners have now been requisitioned by the Noxian army.

As for their previous owners, they had long since turned into the excrement of the Asian dragon dogs.

The tallest and most luxurious buildings are dotted with all kinds of rare treasures, calligraphy and paintings, and antiques.

The extremely luxurious scene was no less than that of the exquisite nobles in the Immortal Fortress.

In the center of the dazzling collection is a huge, ornately carved long table.

However, what was placed on the long table this time was not some delicious food, but an equally huge military sand table.

A tall, strong, middle-aged man with a calm and unpredictable temperament was standing in front of the sand table, thinking.

This man, who is more like a general on the battlefield than a strategist, is none other than the supreme leader of Noxus’ invasion—Jericho Swain!

"Commander-in-chief, General Dukouer is outside the door!"

A guard walked into the room quietly and bowed.

"Okay, let him in!"

The guard bowed and left, then walked in with Du Kuor.

Hearing the dull footsteps, Swain looked up at the person coming.

"You are... Dukor Moens!?"

"Huh! Of course it's me!"

Dukor snorted coldly, and when he saw Swain staring at him, he felt unhappy.

The skin in front of me was smooth and white, without a single scar.

If it weren't for that defiant tone, Swain might have thought the other party was Dukor's junior.

"Have you seen enough? Tell me what you want to say. I still need to prepare the army!"

Ignoring Dukor's unhappy look, Swain looked at Dukor's image carefully.

"Did you find what Commander Darkwill wanted?!"

"Hehe! If that were the case, I would have taken the ship back to Noxus long ago!"

As the two of them were undoubtedly confidants, they both sensed one of the purposes of this invasion from the orders one by one.

It's not that Darkwill didn't want to hide his purpose, but he had been getting older in recent years. In addition, there was a life-extending item in the looting project, so the two of them could naturally guess something.

As the commander-in-chief, Darkwill has been quite competent since he took office, and the two of them are not averse to his idea of ​​extending his life.

So when Swain saw the changes in Dukor's appearance, he couldn't help but ask.

"Okay, tell me, what exactly happened to that battle that's been making so much noise lately?"

"Didn't I submit a combat report?"

“Just one glance at that kind of meaningless data is enough.

What's more important is the rumored 'Dragon Master', what is the real situation?"

Swain's questioning made Dukor's expression change slightly.

"Humph, what is Lord Shenlong? He must have been buried somewhere by now!"

"Oh? So, you killed him in that battle?"

"Of course! I'll rip his heart out of his chest myself!"

When talking about his great achievements, Du Kuo couldn't help but reveal a bit of pride on his face.

Li En single-handedly broke through the battle line of thousands of people. No matter what the process was, the result was that it was Du Kuer who dug out Li En's heart.

"So do you think we need to increase our military strength?

After all, in the information brought by the War Masons, there are many famous people among the forces such as the Order of the Balance and the Temple of Eternal Life! "

"Humph! The previous one was just an accident. If Ionia was really full of such people, how could I have almost made it to Presidium?

Lord Swain, give me another 30,000 soldiers and I will definitely take Presidium!"

Dukor stared at Swain with his eyes full of cruelty and bloodthirstiness.

"The Empire has already spent unimaginable resources to launch this war. Every soldier who has crossed the ocean is extremely precious!"

"So, sir..."

"I refuse, and I have sent you to the Immortal Bastion for your failure!"

"What!? Swain, how dare you do this!"

"You were greedy for merit and rushed forward, but ended up in failure. You should have been dismissed and investigated, but I saved you!"

"Humph, save me? Just report the battle situation back to the empire?"

Dukor looked at Swain coldly.

"The Ionians are weak. With your slow strategy, I don't know how long it will take to accomplish our goal!"

"It's better than making a mistake and suffering heavy losses!"

"Hmph, what a cowardly act, Swain. You will regret this!"

"Dukouer, I am the commander-in-chief!"

Swain's light words choked Dukor so much that he was speechless for a long time.

After staring at each other for a while, Dukouer turned and left.
