The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 431: Katarina's decision and the assistance of the Demonic Serpent's Embrace

Nashramei.

This is one of the northern port cities controlled by the Noxus Empire, and its economic prosperity is no less than that of Bergun.

Even when night falls, ships are busy coming and going near the port, with various sailing ships, merchant ships, and imperial warships sailing here.

The city is brightly lit and has a unique architectural style that combines the majesty of the Noxus Empire with the customs and characteristics of the Shurima continent.

Although the streets are narrow, they extend in all directions, like a huge network that closely connects various areas of the city.

There are many shops on both sides, ranging from exquisite jewelry stores to spacious cloth shops, from fragrant pastry shops to various noisy pubs.

On the long road, there is a steady flow and orderly flow, and horses and skalash carrying goods can be seen everywhere.

They either rush by or walk leisurely, adding a bit of vitality to the city.

Service officer's residence.

Catalina, wearing a red cloak, stood in front of the window sill, overlooking the bustling night scene of Nasramei.

She looked at the twinkling lights, like countless stars falling into the world, illuminating every corner.

"Why should such a beautiful night be broken?"

Catalina whispered softly, behind the prosperity in front of her eyes, there was an unknown undercurrent.

Especially in recent times, many forces have been secretly testing the power of the empire frequently.

"Desert Emperor Azir, Ancient Witch Spirit Xerath!"

Catalina thought of the intelligence collected by the Reese Guard Corps, and a gloomy look appeared on her hard and fierce face.

The two established their own forces in Wekaura and Nerimajie respectively, and invaded the territory at a storm-like speed.

Inevitably, the interests of the empire were greatly affected during their struggle for expansion, and they suffered heavy losses.

In the end, Catalina issued an order in the name of the Du Kecao family to fully shrink her forces and guard the Northland ports.

She hoped to protect the interests of the Northland ports and avoid further losses by concentrating imperial power.

Make a decisive and wise decision!

However, Katarina still underestimated Azir and Xerath's follow-up actions and cunning tactics.

After several confrontations with mutual losses, the two turned their attention to the pearl-like port city.

Compared with the interests of Shurima's interior, the prosperous port nourished by ocean trade has become their coveted goal.

Azir and Xerath stopped their inland disputes and took action secretly to test the Noxus Empire's reaction.

If they are not as tough as imagined, then the two will steal the prosperous ports of the Northland with the momentum of swallowing them up.

For two ambitious strategists, Northland Port is more than just a piece of land.

They hold the key to prosperous maritime trade and are important pawns in realizing their dreams of domination.

They were eager to control these bustling ports and maritime trade to enhance their own power and further expand their influence.

"The Sun Disk, Desert Emperor Azir, the Shurima Empire has reappeared!"

Catalina moved her eyes to look at the sun disk suspended in the distance, her eyes becoming colder.

The bright golden light dispelled the darkness, illuminating the kneeling Shuriman below, awakening the past glory in their blood.

"Want to try the power of the empire? Then we'll see." Catalina whispered, turning and returning to the house.

Nasramei is a very important strategic port for the empire and the focus of the empire's military layout.

Inside the solid city walls, elite troops are stationed, ready to deal with possible threats at any time.

At the same time, this city is also an important node for Shurima intelligence exchange. Countless information converges here, making it an important stage for political strategy.

"Now that Azir has taken action, what about Xerath and his Arcane Legion?"

Katarina sat at the desk, picked up the intelligence information collected by the Reese Guard Corps, and read it carefully.

Azir and his Shurima Imperial Legions were carrying out a blatant conspiracy.

Although Xerath's methods have not been truly seen yet, Katarina will not underestimate him.

The two fought frequently in the interior of Shurima, and their strength was certainly equally matched.

Catalina's eyes were like daggers, analyzing the information in the intelligence word by word.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door, calling Catalina's thoughts back.

"Come in."

Catalina put down the information in her hand, straightened her appearance, and spoke in a solemn voice.

With a creak, the door opened, and Villian walked quickly towards Catalina with a solemn expression.

The person in charge of the Reese Guard Secretariat in Uzeris was transferred here and was responsible for many things in Nasramei.

"Lady Catalina, I just received an urgent message." There was a trace of horror hidden in the corners of Villian's wrinkled eyes.

Catalina was keenly aware of Vilean's uneasiness, frowned, and looked directly at Vilean, waiting for his answer.

"The people of Azir intend to use the sun disk to build a sun temple in the city."

Vilean spoke in a deep voice, a look of solemnity appearing on his weather-beaten dark and thin face, as if he couldn't believe the news.

"Temple of the Sun!?"

When Catalina heard the words, she stood up suddenly, her fierce eyes instantly became extremely cold, filled with murderous intent.

The rising sun disk has already destabilized the order of Nashrame.

Countless Shurima people at the bottom have firm beliefs. They long for freedom and equality, and they long to get rid of the oppression of the Noxus Empire.

For this reason, Catalina mobilized the Imperial Fleet Group and the Reiser Guard Corps to station in Nasramei to suppress the situation.

The first time she entered the city, she thought about crushing the sun disk and declaring the power of the empire.

But the current situation in Shurima forced her to give up her thoughts.

Catalina knew in her heart that the prosperity of the Northland ports could be stabilized with the power of the empire.

But the premise is that the Shuriman people will not strongly resist the rule of the empire.

Compared with life in the interior of Shurima, the prosperity of the port is something some Shurimans don't want to give up.

They would rather endure the exploitation and oppression of the empire than lose the wealth and opportunities that the port brought.

This is what Katarina can take advantage of, and it is also the reason why she gives up crushing the sun disk.

However, now, the establishment of the Sun Temple has completely broken the current equilibrium situation.

Once the temple is built, Azir can openly and openly get involved in the interests of Nashrame, including the port.

"Villian, you immediately organize the elite soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps and prepare to go to the city to investigate the situation."

Caterina gave the order, and the majesty of the heir to the Du Cecao family was clearly demonstrated at this moment.

"I'll be there soon, remember not to attract attention, just sneak in."

Vilean immediately took the order and left. He knew the urgency of time and the impact of the completion of the Sun Temple.

Returning to the secret place, he quickly summoned the elite soldiers in Leiser's guarding the secret place to prepare for action.

Catalina stood up and stared at the sun disk suspended in the distance. She couldn't help but think of what she saw and heard in the Tomb of the Emperor, her expression solemn.

She witnessed Azir's resurrection and the terrifying power of the Ascended with her own eyes, and knew that relying on the power of the Empire in Shurima to resist him was somewhat powerless.

"You haven't come back yet?"

A familiar figure flashed across Catalina's pupils, and a gentle look appeared on her hard-as-iron face.

She knew very well in her heart that the reason why Azir and Xerath had delayed attacking the empire's port city was to act secretly.

It's because they are afraid of Huo Jixing.

Catalina is not sure what happened behind the Tomb of the Emperor.

But judging from the actions of Azir and Xerath, Huo Jixing left a deep impression on them.

During this time, the conflict between the Reither garrison and the transcendents under Azir and Xerath intensified.

Those extraordinary beings relied on the power of the sun disk and the arcane obelisk to suppress the elite soldiers of Leiser's garrison.

As for the imperial fleet, they are cruising in the Sea of ​​Conquerors, keeping a close eye on the situation in Nasramei.

They would not directly bombard Nashrami unless they had to.

This pearl-like port city took a lot of effort from the empire to build, and it has huge benefits in return.

Catalina's eyes once again scanned the city under the night sky, and she secretly made up her mind.

Azir's people must not be allowed to build the Temple of the Sun, otherwise the current stable situation will collapse.

Catalina let out a breath, took off her red cloak, wore pitch black armor, and carried a serrated dagger at her waist, transforming into an ominous blade again.

When she reached the wooden stairs, she slowly stopped and looked at the shadowed corner to the side.

"Do you need my help? Sister."

Cassiopeia swayed her sinuous body out of the shadows, and her dark green eyes met Caterina's.

"Don't worry, although I am a member of the Black Rose, I always stand on the side of the empire and my family."

"Others will never be allowed to interfere with the interests of the Northland Port. This is the territory of the empire that my father worked hard to develop."

Catalina looked deeply at her compatriot sister and spoke softly.

"Let's go."

"Thank you, sister!" Cassiopeia stretched out her eagle-claw-like hand, covered her tempting mouth, and laughed softly.

In the dark night, Catalina jumped up and down on the building like a civet cat, blending into the night and making no sound.

Behind her, Cassiopeia didn't care at all about the cold sea breeze. She was wearing a gauze and silk coat, and the curved and layered snakeskin scales reflected the starlight.

Not long after traveling forward, Catalina tracked down the elite team led by Villian based on the marks left behind.

A row of soldiers from the Reese Guard Corps wearing black cloaks and purple armor.

Everyone saluted Catalina and continued to hide in the night, sneaking towards the designated destination.

No one noticed the traces of Cassiopeia in the shadows, and the Embrace of the Serpent became more and more skilled in mastering her own power.

The night is getting darker, and scattered lights dot the streets.

Catalina led the elite team through the dark alleys and narrow streets of the city, quickly reaching their destination——

A high platform beneath the sun's disk!
