The Glory of Noxus

On the second day, the sky turned bright.

The port of Uzeris welcomed a black imperial ship, moored at the dock.

Samira did not choose to rest. She walked straight to the general's mansion alone and knocked on the heavy iron wooden door.

The doors are carved with intricate patterns, showing the solemnity and antiquity of the mansion.

After receiving the report, Mrs. Soleana personally welcomed Samira into the living room.

In the North of Shurima, Lady Soleana was very concerned about this famous imperial female general.

There is no doubt about Samira's strength, and her performance on the battlefield is enough to scare any opponent.

Like a bright new star, rising slowly within the empire.

But behind her, the figures of the imperial nobles could be faintly seen.

These powerful nobles took a fancy to Samira's strength and value, and used their power and resources to elevate her to her current position of power.

Otherwise, Samira's status as a Shuriman would not allow her to easily become a high-ranking officer.

"Lady Soleanna, I came to visit Catalina and convey to her the urgent secret order of the Trifali Council."

Samira sat on the left side with great dignity, raising her eyes to look at Soleanna, who still had charm.

The gorgeous floor-length dress is embroidered with gold threads and gems; her long black hair is carefully combed and fixed with pearl hairpins, making her look noble and elegant.

While Samira was observing, she vaguely noticed that Mrs. Soleanna was a little wary of her.

She and Lady Soleanna had had a few simple interactions at the noble banquets in Shurima North, and she had heard about the cold methods of the general's wife.

Since the disappearance of General Du Cacault, it was Lady Soleana who maintained the status of the Du Cacault family in Shurima.

Samira deeply understood that this appointment was inseparable from the support of the Du Kecao family.

She alone cannot subdue the many forces in Shurima North.

"Please wait a moment, I have sent someone to invite Catalina."

Mrs. Soleana said apologetically to Samira, waving to the maid to bring snacks and tea.

When Samira heard this, her brows furrowed as thoughts filled her heart.

"Wait a minute? Is Katarina so relaxed now?"

This was somewhat inconsistent with her impression of Katarina. The ominous blade was renowned among the Imperial Chapter for its sharpness and decisiveness.

After a cup of tea.

Outside the living room, Samila reacted immediately when she saw Huo Jixing arriving with Catalina.

"Lord Huo Jixing, Catalina!"

Samira stood up quickly and looked deeply at Huo Jixing and Catalina.

Within the empire, except for the bonus of the Du Cacao family status, her status is similar to that of Catalina, and she is a hero in the empire.

But compared with Huo Jixing, there are obvious differences.

Through the empire's internal intelligence, Samira has received news that Huo Jixing powerfully killed the Scarlet Reaper Vladimir, confirming that the opponent has the strength of the legendary realm.

Perhaps after returning to report on his duties this time, Huo Jixing's status will undergo a completely new change.

At the door, Huo Jixing raised his head and looked at Samila. Her appearance was almost the same as in the memory of her previous life, and her temperament was also very similar.

After a brief greeting, everyone sat down and during the chat, they tacitly entered into the topic.

"Katerina, this is an order signed by the Trifalli Council and His Majesty Swain."

Samira took out a letter with the imperial emblem from her arms, looked at Catalina, and handed it over with her own hands.

Catalina looked confused. After looking at Huo Jixing, she took the letter.

His slender fingers brushed the crimson imperial emblem, and after confirming its authenticity, he carefully opened it.

Catalina lowered her eyes and scanned the dense text recorded in the letter.

After a while, she read the contents of the letter, and her expression changed from doubtful to solemn.

Immediately, she handed the letter in her hand to Huo Jixing's hand.

Huo Jixing was keenly aware of Catalina's mood swings, and was a little curious about the contents of the letter.

His eyes briefly paused on Samira, and then focused on the letter in his hand.

Huo Jixing read very quickly, but he did not miss any detail.

When his eyes finally left the letter, he reached out and gently held Catalina's palm to comfort her.

"We will follow the Empire's orders."

Huo Jixing gently folded the letter in his hand, stuffed it into the inner pocket of his robe, and said with a smile to Samira, who was waiting silently in front of him.

His voice was very calm, as if he had no dissatisfaction with the imperial appointment.

When Samira heard Huo Jixing's answer, the tight strings in her heart seemed to relax.

Before coming, she had prepared for the worst, originally thinking that Catalina and Huo Jixing were dissatisfied with the appointment.

But now it seems that Catalina and Huo Jixing fully accept the empire's transfer and are very cooperative with her work.

In fact, Samira was not willing to take over Katarina's position at all.

Intelligence sources mentioned that Catalina has done very well during this period.

It completely changed the human face of Shurima North in her memory.

The most important thing is that behind Catalina there is the support of the Du Kecao family, as well as the shadow of the legendary strongman Huo Jixing.

This is a completely hot potato.

But now, seeing Huo Jixing's calm and unhurried attitude, Samira secretly admired him.

"Peach picking?"

Huo Jixing didn't pay attention to Samira. He thought about it in his heart, thinking about Swain's character, and shook his head gently.

As the leader of the empire, Swain has always been thoughtful and steady, and he would never make such a rash decision.

Whether it is the power and status of the Du Kecao family in the empire or the benefits brought by the northern part of Shurima, the importance of Katarina is obvious.

"It seems that Katarina is transferred back, but in fact, I am asked to return to the capital together?" Huo Jixing speculated secretly.

"Could it be that something unexpected happened in the imperial capital?"

The atmosphere in the reception room was a bit dull.

After Samira completed her task, she noticed the strange atmosphere and prepared to get up and leave.

Before completing the handover with Katarina, she also needed to arrange for her special forces members to adapt to the affairs of the northern part of Shurima in order to better deal with possible challenges.

In particular, the handover of work between Azir and Xerath is crucial.

The revived Azir and Xerath have a profound influence on the Shurima continent, and cooperation with them is directly related to the development of the northern part of Shurima.

There are also many chambers of commerce active in the Shurima continent, and their trade activities affect the economic prosperity of Shurima.

In addition, Samira also plans to strengthen her ties with the imperial warlords and nobles.

The power and authority they control are equally important to Samira.

"I'll see you off."

Huo Jixing's eyes swept over Katarina and Lady Soleana, and finally fixed on Samira who was about to leave.

He stood up, left his seat, and prepared to bid farewell to Desert Rose.

Katarina's transfer was a big blow to the Du Kecao family, which was experiencing a revival.

In the pioneering war of Shurima, General Du Kecao won the final victory for the empire.

This war not only consolidated the southern front of the empire, but also brought countless wealth and resources to the empire.

The many northern ports scattered along the coastline provided rich supplies for the empire, which was at war on all sides at the time.

Katarina continued to work with Azir and Xerath to restore prosperity and provide huge benefits to the empire.

At the entrance of the general's mansion.

Huo Jixing watched Samira's back as she left, and felt vaguely that his guess might be right.

Otherwise, with Swain's character, he would not have transferred Katarina so hastily and asked her to return to the capital.

In the shadow of the street, Samira stopped, looked back at the closed iron and wooden door, and rubbed her chin with her hand.

If she hadn't been sure that she would not be Huo Jixing's opponent, she would have wanted to fight him and try what the legendary strength was like.

However, from Huo Jixing's attitude, it seemed that he had no dissatisfaction with himself.

After all, her appointment this time was the fruit of Katarina's efforts.

Huo Jixing, who returned to the living room, unexpectedly saw Cassiopeia's figure, and all the people of the Du Kecao family gathered together.

They were discussing the appointment of the empire in detail.

Lady Soleanna looked at her daughter, frowned, and suggested.

"Cassiopeia, why don't you return to the capital with your sister?"

"I'll stay and take care of the family's affairs in the North Port."

Cassiopeia didn't answer, but stared at Katarina.

She was very surprised that the Trifalii Council transferred Katarina back.

During this period, many North Ports have brought huge benefits to the empire and have reached their peak.

This made Cassiopeia confused and uneasy about Katarina's departure.

"Maybe my sister left for better development opportunities?" Cassiopeia put forward her own opinion.

"But the benefits of Shurima's North Port are so huge, why should it be transferred back to Katarina at this time?" Lady Soleana thought more.

"No, Cassiopeia, you and Lady Soleana stay together."

Huo Jixing sat beside Katarina, looked at Cassiopeia firmly, and directly said what he thought.

"Together, we will assist Samira and stabilize the situation in northern Shurima."

"Remember your identity. If you return to the capital, there may be accidents."

After hearing what Huo Jixing said, Cassiopeia looked a little solemn.

She took a deep breath, and thinking of the Black Rose's methods, she had to nod in agreement.

The Black Rose had to deal with the pressure brought by Swain and the Reiser Garrison Corps, and its control over northern Shurima was insufficient.

This is a fact that cannot be ignored, and it is also one of the reasons why they are safe now.

If they return to the imperial capital and enter the home court of the Black Rose, there may indeed be accidents.

"Lady Soleanna, don't forget the responsibility of the Du Kecao family. The empire needs a stable situation."

Huo Jixing's eyes moved and fell on Lady Soleanna, who still had charm.

Katarina was silent for a while, and after looking at each other with Lady Soleanna and Cassiopeia, she finally agreed with Huo Jixing's idea.

Then, they continued to discuss the arrangements for the family's subsequent affairs.

Catalina's voice was deep and powerful, and she elaborated on her ideas in detail, every detail of which was carefully considered.

Her fingers tapped the back of the chair lightly, making a rhythmic sound.

Catalina left and Samira took over.

The strategy of the Du Kecao family was bound to be adjusted, but it would not change in general.

With the influence of Huojixing, Azir and Xerath will still give priority to the Du Kecao family for cooperation.

After the conversation, Huo Jixing and Catalina walked away.

They need to make some preparations for leaving. This time they return to the capital, and they don’t know how long it will take before they can return to Uzeris.

Noxus Empire, southern city.

Rocklund.

The black imperial warship was docked at the port, its crimson flag fluttering in the sea breeze.

Huo Jixing and Catalina walked off the battleship together, and the snow-white Poro lay in Catalina's warm arms, feeling very comfortable.

The autumn wind is bleak, and the chill of winter is gradually appearing.

The streets of Loklund are still crowded with people, and people are busy shuttling between various shops and markets.

The bustling scene of this city makes people sincerely lament the prosperity and prosperity of the Noxian Empire.

Huo Jixing and Catalina did not choose the arrangement of the Leiser garrison and slowly left the noisy city.

They followed the wide straight road to [Noxtola] outside the city.

The two need to go directly to the capital through the empire's portal.

But halfway, Huo Jixing suddenly noticed a strange energy fluctuation.

He lowered his eyes, looked into his arms, and took out the folded letter.

It's the Trifali Council appointment given by Samira!

Inside the letter, traces of bright red blood covered the paper like a spider web, and special magic fluctuations came from it.

Huo Jixing is very familiar with the demonic power that Swain has mastered.

"Hold me tight." He looked at Catalina in his arms and said softly.

When Catalina hugged his body, Huo Jixing jumped into the air with a thought and disappeared in an instant.

When they reappeared, they were already in the hinterland of the Rocklund Plains.

This familiar land is criss-crossed with hills and ravines, traces of man-made excavations, and there is a faint smell of sulfur in the air.

After the Black Powder Plot incident, the Lokronde Plains became much deserted.

Under the jurisdiction of the Empire, mining and refining were unified with the warbands stationed nearby.

Rocklund lost its jurisdiction over this area.

Huo Jixing's mental power stretched to its maximum. After realizing that no one was around, he gently threw out the bloody letter in his hand.

Buzz! Buzz!

In the air, the bloody letterhead automatically decomposed.

The demonic power belonging to Swain appeared out of thin air, and like a brush stroke by stroke, he outlined the runic circle glowing with blood.

"A spatial anchor?"

Huo Jixing stared at the changes in front of him, slightly surprised.

He had seen similar scenes, but at that time Swain used a fixed magic circle to bring down the demonic power.

boom!

The Yin Honghui light exploded, and a huge scarlet one-eye made of demonic power rose up in the rune circle.

The indifferent vertical pupils were shrinking and staring at Huo Jixing and Catalina.

"I have met His Majesty Swain!"

Huo Jixing and Catalina bowed slightly to the scarlet one-eye.
