The Glory of Noxus

Dusk is coming.

As if affected by the noisy atmosphere in the camp, the crimson glow is a little scorching.

The falling snowflakes are also restless.

Huo Jixing followed the Noxian soldiers slowly, letting the snowflakes cover his shoulders and decorate his armor.

Crossing the bluestone street.

The noisy and warm atmosphere gradually faded away, leaving only quietness and solemnity.

Huo Jixing looked up at the stone steps in front of him. Every few steps, there would be Noxian soldiers standing on both sides of the stairs.

At the end of the dark gray steps is the majestic and solemn meeting hall, guarded by two rows of soldiers wearing strong armor and holding sharp blades.

The Noxian soldier who brought Huo Jixing here has stepped away, leaving him alone.

Huo Jixing exhaled a breath of cold air and climbed the steps.

The cold winter wind blew on his face, but it couldn't suppress the heat in his heart.

During the process of going up, whenever he met the guards, he could clearly feel the faint sense of threat from them.

"The skills are at least up to [Advanced Warrior]!"

Huo Jixing's heart condensed, and he was somewhat surprised at the strength of the guards.

After a while, Huo Jixing walked down the steps and came to the meeting hall, but found that there were already many people waiting outside the door.

Looking around, he was basically unfamiliar with these people, completely unfamiliar.

But looking at their armor and sword styles, their positions were almost the same as his, that is, the captain of ten men.

Huo Jixing's eyes lingered on two of them.

One was on the left hand side, bowing his head and not speaking, looking a little silent, a tall figure wearing gray chain mail.

Looking at the dress, it was somewhat similar to the war mason in his memory.

One was a soldier standing in the crowd, wearing black armor and carrying a sheathed sword. His face was covered by the mask, but looking at his eyes, he seemed very young.

Huo Jixing's eyes fell on the sheathed sword blade, which was faintly fluctuating with extraordinary energy, and the data panel was hungry.

"Rune item?"

Huo Jixing whispered in his heart, then put away his thoughts and waited silently.

Before coming here, he had washed up, the armor he was wearing was clear and bright, and the slender long sword hanging on his waist was close to his waist and abdomen.

He hoped to meet Darius, the legendary Noxian Hand, with a clean face.

He was also one of his favorite heroes in his previous life!

After waiting for a while, the door of the side hall of the meeting hall opened.

The soldiers guarding on both sides knocked the blunt end of the sharp blade on the ground, making a dull sound.

Wilson walked out of the door, looked around at everyone, nodded, and led them into the side hall.

It was slightly different from the style of the main hall of the meeting hall.

The style of the side hall was more like a study, rough and exquisite, with a soft red blanket on the ground, extending straight to the heavy desk.

Under the bright magic light, the burly Darius was working at his desk.

No one interrupted, and everyone present stood there with their hands folded, waiting quietly.

Huo Jixing took advantage of no one's attention and glanced at Darius's true appearance.

Just sitting at the desk, he could see Darius's figure, tall and strong.

Looking up, the fine black hair was like the sideburns of a lion, a little messy; the face was square, the dark eyes were drooping, and there was a slight stubble on the chin.

With his extraordinary vision, he vaguely saw that Darius's slightly majestic face was tense, as if he had not rested for too long, and there was a trace of fatigue in his eyes, but it could not cover up his resolute look.

"It's really similar!"

Huo Jixing retracted his gaze and murmured in his heart.

The Darius in front of him was at least eighty or ninety similar to the character in the game in his previous life, and his temperament and appearance were very consistent with his imagination.

Darius seemed to have finished the work at hand, and he sorted out the letters on the table. After everything was done, he looked down at the people he summoned.

Everyone, including Huo Jixing, reached out and knocked on the breastplate, performing a standard Noxian military salute.

"No need for etiquette, this is a meeting hall, not a noble court." Darius spoke in a steady voice with a hint of unquestionable.

"Wilson, you give them the mission briefing!"

Wilson, who heard the order, walked forward, picked up ten letters with the Noxian mark from the desk, and handed them to everyone present.

"Ten copies, just right!"

Huo Jixing nodded gently at Wilson, took the letter in his hand, and then opened it directly. His eyes narrowed instantly, and waves surged in his heart.

"Everyone, I know the task given to you is very difficult!"

"But the empire is struggling now!"

Darius' voice sounded at the right time, suppressing the emotions of everyone on the scene: "We must fight for the empire at all costs!"

"For Noxus!"

With Darius's roar, the oppressive atmosphere in the side hall was directly ignited.

"For Noxus!"

"For Noxus!"

"For Noxus!"

No one resisted the task, and no one refused Darius's order.

Amid the roar that continued to echo, the people who received the task stood up straight, held their heads high, and filed out of the side hall.

Huh!

Huo Jixing, who had just left the side hall, exhaled lightly, the fanatic look on his face faded, and he looked down at the task brief in his hand.

"A mission that is a life or death. No, it is even a life or death mission!"

Just as he sighed and wanted to leave, the voice behind him stopped him.

"Xing, wait a minute!"

Turning around, Huo Jixing saw Wilson walking quickly, holding an exquisite black wooden box in his hand, and the double-edged axe mark could be seen on the box.

"What's the matter?" Huo Jixing asked in confusion.

"This is for you, General." Wilson looked at Huo Jixing deeply, handed over the black wooden box in his hand, and said in a serious tone.

"I hope to see you in the Immortal Fortress next time!"

Huo Jixing took the black wooden box, extended his spirit, and faintly sensed a supernatural energy fluctuation in the wooden box.

"General Darius?"

Looking up at the meeting hall, Huo Jixing nodded solemnly and said aloud: "Don't worry, I will definitely go to see the heart of the empire, the Immortal Fortress!"

However, as he walked down the stairs, he remembered what Wilson had just said in the morning.

The empire will not treat you preferentially!

"It seems that Gregory has told General Darius and others about my talent." Huo Jixing thought to himself.

Only the terrifying talent of the Star Spirit will make Darius look at me differently.

In the cold night, the swaying snow drowned the departing people.

In the side hall of the meeting hall, Darius looked down at the ground, staring at Huo Jixing's back as he left, and sighed.

"Extraordinary talent of the Protoss!"

Even among the many extraordinary people found in the vast territory of the Noxus Empire, such talent can be regarded as the best.

"This is his choice!" Wilson, who stood by his side with his hands behind his back, spoke.

Just a while ago, Gregory sent news about Huo Jixing. When he first heard it, he was quite incredible.

Awakening in the wild is already a good talent seedling.

Although it is not as good as the real extraordinary people who have been promoted, it is much better than beginners.

As a result, who would have thought that the talent tested in the end was actually related to the Protoss?

And Huo Jixing's choice to return to the camp and participate in this war made Wilson unbelievable.

"Isn't this good?"

Darius looked at the revived camp from afar, and his eyes flashed with pride.

"Only hungry wolves that are always hungry can survive in this cruel land!"

"General."

Wilson was about to say something, but was interrupted by the next words.

"Don't worry, I have ordered that Huo Jixing's talent will be hidden. In addition, I need you to send a letter!"

Darius took out a letter sealed with wax from his arms and handed it to Wilson.

The winter night became darker and darker.

Even with the scorching sun shining, Darius still saw many dark shadows hiding in the dark, eager to try.

At this time of turmoil in the empire, there are not many people he can trust in the camp.

Even if it takes a little more time, let the trusted people send it over.

"Go to the island city, Falgaren." Darius turned around and stared at Wilson with dark eyes.

"Remember, you must hand the letter to him in person!"

Hearing the name Darius whispered softly, Wilson took the letter very solemnly, bowed, and turned away immediately.

That night.

In the Noxian camp, in a noisy and violent atmosphere.

Wilson rode alone on his armored warhorse, taking advantage of the surging waves of Noxian soldiers, and quietly left.

The direction of his run was the southeastern island of the empire.
