Legends of Runeterra

As a non-military member, Li En sat quietly in his seat, watching Swain assign tasks to the generals.

Dukor, who was sitting not far from him, had a gloomy and solemn look on his ugly face when he heard Swain assign him to an insignificant position.

But Dukor still calmed down. It was wartime now, and it would be very satisfying to give Swain a scolding.

But given Swain's position as commander, it would be no problem to put him in solitary confinement.

At that time, let alone participating in the war, Du Kuer would probably only be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield after the war, a task that would not bring him any merit.

After the meeting was over, Li En slowly walked out of the meeting room with the crowd.

Looking at Du Kuor who was thinking with a gloomy face not far away, Li En quietly approached him.

It just so happened that they both left in the same direction, so it didn't seem so abrupt.

"Good day, General Dukor."

"Hmm? Oh, it's Li En. How are you? Are you used to your life these days?"

"Thank you for your concern, General. Everything is fine."

As Li En spoke, he turned his gaze to Du Kuor.

Unlike other people's bodyguards, this man wore a tight green ninja suit, and his weathered face showed a hint of vulgarity.

Standing behind Du Kuer, he raised his hand and picked his nose quietly when no one was paying attention.

"General Dukouer, this guy... doesn't look like an ordinary soldier."

"Ok?"

Du Kuor turned around following Li En's gaze and saw the man picking his nose. His already gloomy face suddenly turned dark.

"Katlu!"

"Yes! Sir!"

Katlu quickly put down his hand and saluted under Dukor's gaze.

"Lord Li En, my name is Katru. I used to be a war mason. Fortunately, I was appreciated by General Dukor. Now I am a sergeant in the Royal Guard."

"Hmm, so he was a war mason before. I was wondering why he looked so... unique in temperament."

"Haha~! Let's not talk about this, Li En..."

Dukouer laughed and skipped the topic. There was no other reason. Compared with the heroic Riven, Katlu's appearance and posture were really not up to standard.

He is neither fierce nor handsome, and his face, which pretends to be serious, reveals a weird and vulgar aura no matter how you look at it.

Seeing this, Li En no longer mentioned Katlu and walked towards the residence while chatting with Du Kuer.

On the way, Li En took the initiative to ask Du Kuer himself about his proud battle.

Speaking of this, Du Kuer became excited.

At Li En's cooperative cry, Du Kuer's face turned rosy and he looked very happy, completely dispelling his previous gloom.

Soon, the two came to a fork in the road.

"General, I won't bother you for now. After all, Lord Swain has just assigned you a task."

"Haha~! Okay Li En, it's time for me to go and get some manpower."

When mentioning Swain and the tasks he arranged, Dukor felt a stab in the heart, but he still forced a smile and looked at Li En.

Li En saluted with a smile and was about to turn around, but suddenly turned his head and looked directly into Du Kuer's eyes.

"By the way, General Dukor, Lord Swain's plan this time is exactly the same as your previous strategy!

What a pity! If you had succeeded before, the empire wouldn't have had to spend so much manpower and financial resources~!"

Looking directly into Li En's eyes, Du Kuor suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a faint flash of brilliant purple in the center of the other's left pupil.

...

"Lord Dukor? Lord Dukor?"

"Hmm? Uh! Katlu, what are you doing?"

Looking at the obscene face in front of him, Du Kuor pressed it and pushed the other person away, then turned his head and looked around.

"Huh? Where's Li En?"

"Sir, Lord Li En left a long time ago. After saying goodbye to him, you just stood there. I came over because I was worried about you."

Katlu rubbed his nose, with a hint of grievance on his wretched face.

"Okay, I understand. Let's go and gather some manpower."

Dukuer looked calm and walked away.

Katlu also put away his expression and followed closely.

According to Swain's arrangement, Dukor came to his legion's garrison and gave orders to the officers under him.

After the personnel were assigned, Du Kuoer returned to his study.

Staying alone in the room, Du Kuer stared into the air with unfocused eyes, and several scenes kept repeating in his mind.

Swain sat in the main seat, giving orders from a superior position.

At Li En's request, he recalled all the battles, big and small, that had taken place in the past.

And finally, Li En said: "Lord Swain's plan this time is exactly the same as your previous strategy!"

"What a shame... What a shame... What a shame..."

Li En's wailing tone kept echoing in Du Kuer's mind.

“Crack! Crack!”

His fists were clenched tightly, and his finger bones rubbed against each other and made crackling sounds under the tremendous force.

"S-W-IN~!!!"

A low roar sounded in the room, and the resentment surged like a wave.

Dukor stared at the appointment letter on the table, which was stamped by Swain himself, and a hint of purple flashed in his brown eyes.

...

In the courtyard, Li En, who was sleeping on a recliner and enjoying Riven's fanning, had a smile on his face.

"Okay Riven, take a break and try this grape."

Li En said as he picked up a grape and handed it to Riven who was sitting next to him.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"It's okay, thank you sir!"

Riven was stunned for a moment, and then ate the grape carefully, trying not to touch Li En.

"How is it, sweet?"

"Yeah, very sweet!"

"Okay, then..."

"Sir, let me do it myself!"

"Uh, okay!"

Li En smiled slightly and put the grapes in his hand into his mouth.

Riven breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that it was more tiring than practicing five sets of "Broken Wing Dance" with the Rune Blade.

But his eyes unconsciously noticed the hand that Li En used to eat grapes.

"Just now... it was on my lips..."

...

The next day, with Noxus' extremely efficient mobilization capabilities, an army composed of elite troops from various legions marched towards Presidium via both water and land routes.

Such a large-scale personnel transfer naturally could not be concealed from the eyes of Ionia.

The members of the 'Sun Chaser' who discovered the situation here reported it back as quickly as possible.

...

"Lord Karma, you have already made a grave mistake. She has disturbed the spiritual harmony of this land, brought shame to all previous Karmas, and tarnished her own immortal soul!

Even...even we as followers cannot find peace!

Please do not participate in this war anymore, just stay in the Palace of Eternal Life, just like the 'Apocalypse' in the past, and the war will naturally subside!"

Li Qing and Udyr stood in the corner, looking at Karma who was surrounded by a group of monk elders because she received the news that Noxus was going to attack Precidien again and offered to go to support.

Listening to them repeating the argument that "the laws of our ancestors cannot be changed", they tried to force Karma to surrender in an act that seemed like pleading but was actually coercion.

The two looked at each other, a hint of anger burning in each other's eyes.

To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that these old guys are too old, and Lee Sin and Udyr were rescued by Karma.

According to the two men's previous personalities, they would have let these guys who relied on their age to bully others see what "youthful vigor" meant.
