Legends of Runeterra

"Good day, Lee En Reyes."

Swain nodded slightly.

"As the heir of the Reyes family, why did you suddenly come to Ionia?"

Unexpectedly, Swain asked Li En a question in a very straightforward manner.

Faced with this somewhat abnormal scene, Li En's heart moved, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.

“My Lord Swain, Lady Hilda believes that only by experiencing a real battlefield can one understand the cruelty and severity of war, inherit the Reyes family, and contribute one’s own strength to the empire.

I applied for it on my own initiative and just arrived in Baru Province not long ago. Now I just happened to come here with Vanguard Chief Morrison. "

"Well, Chief Hilda is indeed far-sighted. Li En, you must cherish this opportunity."

"Yes, my lord."

There was just the right amount of concern on Swain's cold face.

"By the way, did you bring guards with you this time? If not, I can arrange some for you."

“Thank you, Lord Swain, but General Belfgan has already made arrangements for me.

This time, I will let the Black Stone Chapter serve as my escort."

"The 'Black Stone' Chapter. Their leader, as I recall, should be... 'Swordmaster' Riven, right?"

"Exactly! Riven, come and meet Lord Swain."

Riven, who had been standing silently a few steps behind Li En, immediately stepped forward and saluted.

"'Swordmaster' Riven, greets Lord Swain."

"Well, good! Since Riven is here, I'm relieved about your safety, Li En."

After looking at Riven, Swain nodded, then turned his gaze to everyone.

"You have been exhausted from the journey, so go down and rest today. When the personnel from all the major legions have arrived, we will notify you to hold a meeting."

"Yes, Lord Swain!"

Li En, Morrison and others saluted together, then turned around and left.

"Li En, if you have any needs, just let me know and I will arrange for someone to solve them."

"Okay, thank you, sir!"

Amid the different expressions of the others, Li En turned around, saluted, and then left with Riven.

As everyone was led to the resettlement site by the soldiers, Swain's expression gradually turned indifferent.

"Hahn."

Swain whispered a name, and a skinny figure appeared silently in the shadows in the corner.

"Click~!"

The masked figure said nothing as he knelt on one knee before Swain.

It’s not that Hahn didn’t want to respond to Swain, but a special curse was placed on his throat.

Without Swain's permission, he would not be able to make any sound even if he was crushed bit by bit starting from the feet until he died.

"Keep an eye on Lee En Reyes. If you find anything, let me know immediately."

Upon hearing this, Hahn bowed to show that he understood, then stood up and hid in the shadows again.

'The heir of the Reyes family came here... Could it be your doing?

What exactly does the black hand within the empire want to gain...'

Swain stood quietly in the conference room, feeling that the invisible net was shrinking and that he didn't have much time left.

...

The next day, accompanied by Riven, Li En visited the layout of Swain's Legion.

As for the purpose, on the one hand it is to meet someone, and on the other hand it is to learn the characteristics of the deployment of troops between different legions.

While strolling around, he slightly circulated the power of the void in his body. Indescribable fluctuations spread far away, affecting a guy who had been implanted with the 'void' by him.

...

"Wow~!"

Everything on the tabletop mountain was swept to the ground.

"Damn Swain, why were you acting so high and mighty in front of me more than a month ago? Now you have to follow my previous strategy..."

Du Kuor looked at the mess on the ground and kept cursing.

It was no wonder that he was so angry. After all, in his opinion, Svein had lost all his dignity in order to suppress him and take all the credit for conquering Ionia.

More than a month ago, he watched Dukor's favorable situation without taking any action, and even sent the battle situation back to the Immortal Fortress from a very one-sided perspective, which made the commander-in-chief furious.

Fortunately, with the persuasion of Lady Hilda, the commander-in-chief finally saw through Swain's trick, and Dukor was not severely punished according to the law.

But the opportunity was missed. They should have taken advantage of the fact that those hidden sects had not yet taken action and attacked Precidien in one fell swoop, breaking the backbone of the Ionian people.

By then, without the cooperation of these resisting people, even if those hidden sects take action again, they will not be as difficult to deal with as they are now.

“Crack! Crack!”

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and Dukuer clenched his fists until they made crackling sounds.

"Huh! Forget it, let's go out for a walk."

Dukouer unclenched his fists, turned and walked outside.

Walking along the road, Dukuer didn't know what he wanted to do, he just wanted to go in this direction.

And looking at the soldiers coming and going along the way, Du Kuer's mood improved a lot, and his frown slowly relaxed a little.

Turning his head casually, Dukouer suddenly saw a white-haired woman carrying a rune blade as big as a door panel on her back not far away.

This powerful weapon made Du Kuer's eyes light up, and he was about to step forward to talk to him and recruit him.

Suddenly I discovered that the woman was following a noble with black hair and black eyes, and she seemed to be the other party's bodyguard.

As his eyes turned, Du Kuor met Li En's eyes.

'This is…'

Du Kuor only felt a slight movement in his heart, and an inexplicable feeling surged into his heart.

Originally, Dukouer looked down on this kind of pretty boy aristocrat, but when he saw the man not far away, he felt inexplicably fond of him and wanted to get to know him.

Thinking of this, Du Kuor no longer hesitated and walked towards the other party with the steps of a dragon and a tiger.

Looking at Du Kuor who was walking towards him immediately after hesitating for a few seconds, Li En's mouth corners slightly raised and he took the initiative to step towards him.

"I am Dukor Moens, boy, tell me your name!"

Even though he wanted to make friends with the other party, arrogance still rose in Dukuer's heart when he looked at the other party's young face.

Facing Du Kuor, who was once considered to be very sincere, Li En's expression did not change at all, and he performed the common nobility salute with neither arrogance nor servility.

"My name is Li En Reyes, nice to meet General Dukuer."

"Reyes!? Could it be... the Reyes from Ms. Hilda?"

"Haha~! General Dukor, I think there is only one Reyes family in the empire."

Looking at Li En's smile, Du Kuer's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the information about Reyes that he had specially learned before.

The other person's name happens to be exactly the same as the heir of the Reyes family.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Du Kuer's ugly and ferocious face.

“Hahaha~! It turns out to be Li En from the Reyes Family. I didn’t expect to meet you here!”
