Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 703 Silent Dead City

"I'm sorry, Il, we didn't see them. How about... you come with us and see if you can meet your parents, okay?"

"me..."

Il looked at Hisiriya, then looked back at the ruins behind him.

"Okay, Sister Hisiriya, but I want to write on the board to tell them that I'm fine."

"of course can."

Hisiriya nodded, picked up a half-burned piece of wood from the ground not far away, broke off a small piece of charcoal and handed it to Il.

"Here, take it and write it."

"Thank you, Sister Hisiriya."

Watching Il write on a relatively intact door panel, Hisiriya took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and then took her hand to look at Barrett.

"Mr. Barrett."

"Well, let's go."

"Eil, remember not to make any sound. If you are scared, cover your mouth."

"Okay Sister Hisiriya, I'll remember it!"

Seeing Il's serious expression, Hisiriya secretly exchanged glances with Barrett, and then took her away.

Now that they have confirmed that Yi'er is fine for the time being, the two of them cannot just sit and watch her be alone in this dangerous place.

Whether it was the passionate and gentle Hisiriya or the seemingly serious Barrett, both of them planned to do so.

...

“Da da~da~!”

Running on the solid official road, Tiana, who was in the lead, looked at the stone sign standing beside the road and raised her hand to signal.

"Uu~!"

The Fearless Vanguards and the mages slowed down and slowly stopped not far from the road sign.

The smooth road meandered into the distance, and at the end of Tiana's sight was Mitra, the largest city in Mitra County.

The people living on the high ground looked down at the city of Mithra from afar. The city walls were solid without any damage, the city gates were wide open, and the buildings were lined up one after another.

Everything seemed to be as normal as it could be, but everyone's expressions became increasingly solemn.

Ever since Tiana led the team into the territory of Miter County, this land seemed normal. However, until they arrived in Miter City, no one found any signs of living creatures, and the surroundings were deathly silent.

When they took a break, it was so quiet that the only sounds were their own breathing, the breathing of their teammates, and the horses.

This extremely strange silence made everyone dare not stop for too long. Except for a short rest, they just rode on horseback all the way.

Until they arrived at the city of Mittel, the uneasiness accumulated in everyone's hearts reached the threshold at this moment.

A large city with a permanent population of nearly 100,000, was now completely silent, as if all the original residents had left...

Thinking of this, no one dared to think further.

As the high sun slowly sank below the horizon, half of the city of Mitra was covered in shadow, while the other half was shrouded in the afterglow of the sunset.

The overly bright red afterglow looked like the city being bitten by a giant mouth hidden in the shadows, and the blood was flowing in silent wailing.

"Uh..."

Suddenly, Silas put his hand to his forehead and groaned in pain.

"What's wrong Silas?"

"No... I'm fine, Lady Tiana. I tried to use my talent to sense the situation of the citizens in Miter City."

"How is the result?"

“No, I can’t sense anything, it’s like... they disappeared out of thin air!

I sensed an extremely terrifying aura from somewhere, so I quickly cut off the perception."

"Well, I see."

Tiana nodded, then swept her eyes across the people present, finally stopping at the group of mages.

"Everyone, we are going to enter Miter City next. No one is allowed to act rashly without my order.

If you find any abnormality, report it immediately. Private investigation is absolutely not allowed! "

"Yes, Lady Tiana!"

"Keep in formation and follow me into the city! Go!"

Tiana took the lead and ran towards the city of Miter, which was gradually swallowed by darkness, followed closely by a group of people.

...

When everyone arrived at the open gate of Miter, darkness had already enveloped the entire city.

“Da da~da~!”

She passed through the city gate without any hesitation, but the rumbling sound of horse hooves behind her quietly disappeared, leaving only the crisp sound of Tiana's mount, echoing in the wide street.

"Um!?"

Tightening the reins, Tiana put one hand on the rune steel sword. She was prepared for any situation and was not panicked at all because she was alone. She observed her surroundings vigilantly through the holes reserved in the visor.

“Da~da~da~!”

"Hey~!"

Drawing out her sword, Tiana looked towards the alley in the distance where footsteps were coming from.

As the sound of slow footsteps got closer, Tiana's eyes narrowed slightly under the mask.

"Haha~! It's you, Eldred."

"Tiana, my wife..."

"Shua~!"

Tiana raised her hand and swung the sharp dagger, piercing Eldred's throat.

“Ding~Dang~!”

Eldred performed an undignified roll, causing the dagger to strike the ground, sending up a shower of sparks.

"Tiana, why are you angry? This is the order from the great Third Emperor, isn't it?"

"You have deceived the king with evil means, Eldred. You deserve to die!"

The rune blade was pointed at Eldred, and Tiana pronounced judgment on him coldly and without a trace of emotion.

"Hahaha~!!!"

"Really? Are you really angry because I deceived His Majesty the Third and made him issue that decree?

If that was the case, why didn't you object to it at the beginning of the party?"

Eldred paced around Tiana, his face showing reluctance and hatred, but his eyes were particularly empty.

"Let me think about your attitude at that time...

I don’t care! Yes, I just don’t care!

You are so devoted to Demacia that you have never considered this aspect. Everything I have done, including asking the Third to issue an order, may be less important to you than a blade of grass at your feet."

"But...why were you so angry when you saw me again? It's really hard to guess..."

Eldred looked at Tiana with a teasing and resentful look.

"Are you done? If you are, then you can face your death. I regret that I was not able to personally end your life before!"

"I figured it out! It's him, right? That's him!"

Not caring at all about Tiana's blade pointing at him, Eldred suddenly realized something.

"plum..."

"Suffer to death!"

"Shua~!"

The horse galloped, and in a few breaths Tiana's sword came in front of Eldred.

However, the next moment, the sword blade began to deflect.

"Puch~!"

Bright red blood spurted out. Looking at the face she had been thinking about day and night, Tiana stood there in a daze, letting the hot blood splash on her armor.

"Leen!!!"

"Ho, ho, ho!"

Li En, whose neck was embedded in the sword, opened his mouth, but only tiny bubbles of blood flowed out.

"Ti~ya~na~!"

The hoarse howl suddenly pierced her brain.
