Legends of Runeterra

A few days later, Li En was chatting with Cassiopeia in the courtyard. The butler came over quickly with an anxious look on his face, and hesitated when he saw Li En.

Li En took the initiative to speak: "It seems that Miss Cassiopeia has something important to deal with. Then we will talk another day!"

"It doesn't matter! Mr. Li En is one of us, Athos, just tell me what happened!"

"Yes, Miss! The bandit-suppression team led by Cruse was defeated by the Scorpion Bandits. The other side demanded a ransom of 10,000 gold coins, otherwise they would kill all the captives!"

"Okay... I understand. You go down first!"

The butler left hesitantly, and Cassiopeia frowned and sighed softly.

Seeing this, Li En asked, "If you don't mind, can you tell me about the situation? Maybe I can help!"

Cassiopeia's eyes lit up, she smoothed her hair, and began to speak hesitantly:

As soon as Lady Soleana was poisoned, a bandit group called "Scorpion" suddenly appeared outside the city. At that time, all the members of the Du Kecao family focused their energy on saving the lady and investigating and guarding against the killer.

After her lady's condition stabilized, Cassiopeia came to her senses and discovered that the bandit group outside the city had expanded to a certain scale.

She immediately sent people to suppress the bandits, but the Scorpion Bandits not only knew the terrain like the back of their hands, but even more outrageously, they were able to detect the dispatched troops in advance every time, as if someone was tipping them off.

Before Cassiopeia could catch the traitor, after several failures, other nobles and wealthy businessmen in the city began to question her ability and took the initiative to ask to contribute to the stability of Uzeris - they demanded to have their own troops.

Under their manipulation, Cassiopeia, who lost a large number of soldiers, was unable to recruit enough people to replenish the army for a while. The Cruse mentioned by the butler just now was the last force she could dispatch without affecting the stability of the city.

"It seems that I am still far from being perfect. My father has been gone for less than two years and Du Kecao is about to lose Uzeris!"

Cassiopeia's eyes turned red and she lowered her head weakly.

"It's not your fault. It's all because of the greed of those nobles and wealthy businessmen!"

After Li En said this, a long while passed and Cassiopeia didn't hear any movement from the other party.

She couldn't help but raise her head slightly and secretly observe the other person, just in time to meet Li En's clear and bright eyes.

"Wow, I'm so useless. I'm not as good as my sister at all. No wonder father only brought my sister back to Noxus!" Cassiopeia threw herself into Li En's arms and cried.

Li En subconsciously spread out his hands, hesitated for a moment, and then put his hands on her shoulders, trying to push her away.

After Cassiopeia sensed Li En's strength, she put her arms around Li En's waist and the two of them pressed close together.

Due to the hot weather in Shurima, both of them were wearing relatively light clothes. Li En could feel the amazing softness of the girl's body, and their heartbeats were so clear.

"Brother Li En, can you help me?" Cassiopeia asked with sobs.

"Of course, I just need a little help!"

"No problem, Du Kecao's wealth is at your disposal!" Cassiopeia let go of Li En and said with a smile on her face.

Li En nodded and smiled back, reaching out to tidy up the dry but slightly messy clothes on his chest.

night.

Li En waved to Cassiopeia, and took Safet and others into the secret passage leading directly out of the city.

Cassiopeia watched Li En leave with a smile on her face and returned directly. At this time, a voice came from the shadows.

"I heard you let him go to the family treasury?"

"Yes, Mother!"

"Oh? Is this also part of your plan? Did the Reyes family take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune?"

"Well, that wasn't in the plan to be honest."

"Haha, it seems that the other party is not as innocent as he appears to be."

"Haha, this is more interesting, isn't it?"

"I hope you know what you're doing."

"Of course, please rest assured, dear mother!"

-----------------

After entering the secret passage, Li En couldn't help but sigh. It was indeed a world where extraordinary powers existed. Although it was called a secret passage, it was large enough for four people to walk side by side without feeling crowded. The stone-paved road was neat, the air was fresh, and there were lights every ten meters.

Following the road and pressing the mechanism to open the gate, Li En suddenly saw the brightly lit city of Uzeris in the distance.

Withdrawing their gaze, the group headed towards the Scorpion Gang's activity area under the cover of night.

Several hours later, it was late at night and Li En and others finally arrived near their destination.

After gathering the troops, Safet came to Li En and asked, "Sir, what should we do next?"

"Cassiopeia has already figured out the approximate location of the enemy camp. Have the falconer release the falcon to observe and be on guard. The others should rest where they are!"

"Yes, my lord!"

With the slight sound of flapping wings, several dark shadows quietly rushed into the night sky and merged into the night in the blink of an eye.

While replenishing food to recover, Li En sorted out his equipment.

In order to suppress the bandits, Cassiopeia opened the treasure house for Li En to choose from. Although Li En could tell at a glance that it was just a fake treasure house, there were many good things in it.

The first is a set of leather armor, which is made of the shell of the native Shurima camel. It is light, tough and fire-resistant. With the magic patterns engraved on the inside of the leather armor, it can be regarded as a precious piece of armor.

The second is the long sword at his waist - a replica of the famous Doran's Sword, which can amplify the user's strength to a certain extent, and restore a small amount of the user's physical strength after causing damage to the enemy.

The last one is the potion in his arms - Steel Potion, which instantly increases the user's vitality and strengthens the ability to withstand blows after taking it.

Simply put, with all the equipment Li En has equipped, his life-saving ability is maximized. As long as he doesn't foolishly rush into the opponent's encirclement, nothing will happen to him.

Safet, in full armor, is nearly 2.2 meters tall, like a giant steel bear, but he moves silently.

He came to Li En and reported: "Sir, the falconer has found the target camp!"

"Okay, take me there!" Li En nodded and said.

Led by the falconer, the two came to a secluded place.

Ignoring the corpse holding a broken blade in the corner, Li En took the telescope and observed the camp in the distance.

The gangsters gathered in twos and threes, holding bottles of wine in their hands, and laughter could be heard from time to time. Infected by the joyful atmosphere, even the guards on duty took a sip secretly when no one was paying attention.

"It looks like they just had a celebration party! Have they found the location of the prisoners?"

The falconer at the side immediately stepped forward and said: "Master Li En, I don't see any detention facilities in the camp, maybe..."

The other party hesitated to speak.

"Interesting, is it Scorpion's audacious deception, or Cruse's collusion?" A smile appeared at the corner of Li En's mouth.
