Legends of Runeterra

Li En looked at the dashing woman who held her breath unconsciously and her whole body was tense, and stretched out his right hand with a smile.

"Deal, then?"

"Thank you!"

After hesitating for a moment, Samira wiped her hands on her body, and then held Li En's slender white hand.

Frankly speaking, as a mercenary, no matter how well Samira takes care of herself, her hands will inevitably develop calluses when holding the weapon, so it is inevitable that her grip will feel a bit rough.

Li En's expression did not change. He shook it slightly a few times and was about to let go.

Seeing that Li En had made the decision, Samira did not make any extra moves. Safet and others also withdrew their gazes and temporarily put down their weapons aimed at Samira in the dark.

"Hoo~!"

Samira breathed a sigh of relief, her tense nerves suddenly relaxed. Coupled with the exhaustion from the previous fierce battle, she felt exhausted instantly. Her legs went weak and she couldn't help falling to the side.

Seeing that the other person was about to fall on the ground that was soaked in blood and became muddy and smelly due to being trampled by everyone, Li En grabbed Samira's right hand and subconsciously exerted force.

"Oh!"

"Hmm~!"

Samira fell into Li En's arms and let out a light groan.

The boy's self-evident noble status, coupled with his solid chest and powerful arms, made Samira's mind go blank.

When she was a child, she and her parents survived by performing thrilling stunts. When she grew up, she became a mercenary. In order to maintain her powerful image, she never established an intimate relationship with anyone.

Being held in the arms of a boy who was shorter and younger than me in public, I made such a strange noise.

Feeling the warm breath on her neck and smelling the boy's fragrance, Samira found that she was not angry about the other's hand on her waist.

At this moment, Samira just wanted to bury her head deep in the sand like the guanaco in the desert.

Everyone had different expressions. Safet and others looked as if they were used to it. Some of the mercenaries were surprised, and then showed a playful smile, while some looked at Li En with grief and envy on their faces.

"cough!"

Li En coughed lightly, and everyone withdrew their gazes and went about their business.

At this time, Samira, who was lying in Li En's arms, had recovered, but due to the other party's identity and the unspeakable emotions in her heart, she remained motionless.

The rose scent was mixed with the scent of steel and gunpowder. Smelling this somewhat strange aroma, Li En felt that he quite liked this smell.

"Sir, the prisoners have been counted!" Safet said softly, standing two meters away.

Samira was startled and exerted a little force on the hand that was pressing on Li En's chest, and Li En let go of her.

"Okay, let's go!"

...

The people who were going to wipe out the bandit group naturally would not take the secret passage as they did before, but would raise flags, drive away the bandits, and march towards Uzeris in a mighty manner.

Li En was sitting in a carriage that was richly decorated. It was probably looted from a wealthy businessman by the Scorpion Gang.

Led by Samira, the mercenaries followed the army at a suitable distance.

"Boss, thanks to you, otherwise the brothers would definitely be finished this time!"

"Of course not. Don't you see who the boss is? The famous Desert Rose!"

"What Desert Rose? I think I'll have to call you Madam Samira from now on!"

Someone in the crowd said something, causing the mercenaries to scream in surprise.

"Fuck you, just pay attention to me!"

Samira slapped one of them on the head, interrupting the crowd's booing.

Turning her head and looking at the carriage from afar, Samira's emerald green eyes flashed with a strange emotion.

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

In the early morning, before the sun rises, its light has already illuminated the earth.

The cool breeze blew, cheering up the soldiers guarding the city.

"Hmm? Is that... the flag of the Lord's Mansion?"

"Holy Spirit, these people are poisonous scorpion bandits!"

"The Lord's army completely wiped out the Scorpion Bandits and captured many of the villains!"

The army was walking on the street with the prisoners. As members of the bandit gang that had been plaguing Uzeris for a long time, the surrounding merchants could easily recognize the faces of those who had robbed them before.

Waves of startled breathing attracted more and more people to join in the fun, but under the cold temperament of Safet and others, and with patrolling guards maintaining order, it took twice as long as the last time to enter the city, and they finally arrived at the lord's mansion.

Because someone had been sent to notify them in advance, Cassiopeia and a group of nobles had already been standing quietly at the door waiting.

A high platform was erected in the square, on top of which a sturdy gallows could be seen.

Li En signaled the soldiers to send the bandits to the platform and then turned to face Cassiopeia.

"Brother Li En, you are not hurt!"

"I'm fine, Cassiopeia! The Scorpion Bandits have been annihilated, and I've been captured alive! I'll leave it to you to decide how to deal with these people!"

Cassiopeia took Li En's hand and looked him up and down nervously. She didn't see any blood, but he looked a little tired. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Brother Li En, just call me Pei Ya!"

"Okay, Peya!"

Cassiopeia nodded with satisfaction and pulled Li En towards the platform. Li En glanced at the nobles behind her and found that their faces were not very good.

On the other side of the platform, dense crowds of people gathered together, looking excitedly at the bandits kneeling there.

"Boom~!"

"Everyone be quiet, Lady Cassiopeia is now invited to speak!"

The captain of the guards' voice spread throughout the venue with the help of a magical device, and everyone immediately fell silent.

Cassiopeia let go of Li En's hand and walked to the front gracefully: "Good morning everyone, I am Cassiopeia du Kekao! Now the acting lord of Uzeris!"

Her calm and confident eyes swept over the crowd, and she continued, "The despicable and shameless Scorpion Bandits who have been harassing Uzeris for nearly half a year were captured alive last night by the army led by my fiancé, Lee En Reyes!

Now, in the name of Lord Uzeris, I declare the Scorpion Bandits - death penalty! Execute immediately!"

"Wow!"

The people in the audience cheered.

Cassiopeia turned and came to Li En, took his arm, and stood in front of the stage to accept the cheers of the crowd.

Baldan, with his mouth blocked, gasped and looked anxiously at the nobles in the audience. When he saw Abbas standing in the main seat, he struggled violently.

Unlike other nobles who looked panicked and angry, Abbas had a blank expression on his face and looked at the platform indifferently.

After making eye contact with Baldan, he waved his hand and the people next to him made way. A boy of four or five years old came over, eating coconut sugar with an innocent face.

Abbas picked him up, rubbed his little head, and asked him to look towards the platform.

When he saw the child for the first time, Baldan's pupils constricted, his eyes were bloodshot, and finally he closed his eyes weakly and let the noose hang around his neck.

"Execution!"

"Crack!"

The wooden planks under the criminals' feet opened, and gravity caused the ropes to break their necks.

"Long live Uzeris!"

The cheers were like thunder.

At this point, the Scorpion Bandit Gang was destroyed.
