The Glory of Noxus

The power given by the Raven Demon can allow Swain to see through any secrets.

This is also the reason why Swain can control the overall situation of the empire.

His foresight and precise decision-making all come from this.

And Huo Jixing's body had just completed the data process when Swain urgently summoned him.

Therefore, there was a trace of breath left around him.

These breaths could not be ignored in Swain's eyes.

The danger they brought made the demon power in his body automatically sense the crisis.

"Your Majesty Swain!"

Huo Jixing seemed to be unaware and walked to the simple marble table.

He greeted Swain first, and then his eyes fell on Darius and the Faceless Man.

"General Darius, and His Majesty the Faceless Man."

The three people in front of him together formed the highest authority of the Noxus Empire-

The Trifaree Council!

Each of them is a powerful figure.

Although their strength is not as strong as Huo Jixing, they are still worthy of his respect.

"What happened to the Empire? Why are you in such a hurry to find me?" Huo Jixing asked directly.

In his past experience, such an urgent summons must have something important to happen.

"Well, there is a problem on the northern border of the Empire." Swain gestured for Huo Jixing to sit down and said in a serious tone.

The northern border?

Huo Jixing narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing the familiar place name, and instantly became sharp.

For him, the northern border is not only a battlefield he has personally experienced, but also an unforgettable memory.

The name of the Winter Claw tribe is like a sharp blade, passing through his heart, causing bursts of pain.

Winter is here!

Is Sejuani, the Fury of the North, and her tribal alliance preparing to start a border war again?

Huo Jixing still remembers the northern border war he participated in when he first came to the Valoran continent.

Bloody, cruel, and violent!

Every charge is a brush with death, and every victory is won with blood and life.

The soldiers of the Noxian Empire and the warriors of the Winter Claw tribe fought a desperate battle on the snowy plains of Freljord.

They were like being caught in a huge meat grinder, unable to extricate themselves, and could only struggle in the ruthless crushing.

"Who did it?" Huo Jixing restrained his inner emotions and asked.

Swain's eagle eyes flashed with cold and cruel color, and after a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice.

"It's not clear who did it for the time being."

"All the investigators we sent over disappeared, and the news sent back was also fragmented."

Swain continued to speak, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the table, making a dull sound.

"But what is certain is that there has been a large-scale killing at the northern border, and the villages and towns belonging to the empire have also lost news one after another."

Darius sat up straight when he heard this, and his hands with armor gloves rubbed on the table, like a ferocious wolf choosing its prey.

"The war group guarding the north has also lost news, such a secret large-scale operation"

"Humph, I suspect someone is secretly colluding with the forces of Freljord!"

The faceless man on the far left felt that everyone's eyes fell on him like a substance, and spoke helplessly.

"The assassin's guild's secret sentry did send back news, but it was obstructed and was also incomplete."

"It can be seen that the person who took action in secret was very well prepared and almost blocked any news."

The faceless man hid his body in a robe made of heavy fabrics, and no emotion could be seen, like a black statue.

"Some scouts said they heard thunderous sounds that resounded through the sky, drowning towns and villages."

"Some scouts also said they saw terrifying monsters all over the mountains and plains, sweeping across the snowy plains."

"But there is no follow-up news. I guess they are likely to have all died at the northern border."

Hearing the news from the Faceless, Huo Jixing and Darius looked at each other subconsciously, their eyes filled with gloom.

They all knew what this news meant.

Deafening thunderous sounds?

Terrorous monsters all over the mountains and plains?

Isn't this the scene when the will of the Immortal Thunder Volibear is revived?

Katarina also spoke at the right time at this moment.

"The Empire's intelligence system has completely lost the news of the northern border, and is now sending personnel there one after another."

"As for the specific news, it may take some time to be transmitted back."

Huo Jixing looked at Katarina, who looked tired. It seemed that she had not rested last night and had been busy until now.

After a simple eye contact with Katarina, his eyes fell on Swain.

"The situation at the northern border is most likely caused by the Immortal Thunder. General Darius and I have seen similar scenes before." He recalled his past experiences.

"But those guys are completely out of control and they are not so tightly organized at all."

"Someone else is secretly doing this!"

Huo Jixing pondered for a moment and asked with an inquiring look.

"Did the Black Rose take action?"

Since Leblanc disappeared, the Black Rose suffered heavy losses under the Empire's crackdown.

They had to escape into the darkness and temporarily disappear from everyone's sight.

Now, after so much time has passed, such a big thing has suddenly happened at the northern border.

Huo Jixing had reason to suspect that LeBlanc and Black Rose were secretly planning and planning.

The most important thing is that if the Black Rose really comes back, they will definitely bring a bigger conspiracy and a more violent storm.

Swain nodded, his eyes deep and firm, obviously seeing that things at the Northland border were not simple.

The icy land of Freljord hides many dangers and challenges.

Let the wind and snow rage and bury it!

But myths and legends about old gods, mysterious snowmen and restless spirit walker shamans are still passed down.

And Thunder Roar Volibear is the best among them, an ancient old god.

If the matter on the northern border involves Volibear, then the empire will inevitably send strong men there.

Among the many heroes of the Empire, those who are familiar with the situation in the North include Darius, Kled and Huo Jixing.

However, if one can resist the legendary old god Volibear, then only

Huo Jixing!

Swain's eyes were solemn, and the thoughts in his mind were like turbulent waves, rising and falling.

He understood that LeBlanc had never truly given up her desire for the underworld's iron armor.

How could it be possible to give up everything that has been planned for a thousand years?

The iron armor of the underworld is the key to LeBlanc's ambition, and it is also the key to her plot to gain the power of death.

Is this to lure the tiger away from the mountain and attack the east and the west? Swain secretly guessed.

LeBlanc is preparing to use the riot caused by the old god Volibear to disperse the power within the capital.

His eyes turned to Huo Jixing, and he became more and more certain.

LeBlanc's first target is Huo Jixing, and he is the only one who can compete with the old god Volibear.

Swain took a deep breath, and the red demon hand filled with restless power.

The location of the Underworld Iron Armor also seals the space passage connecting Shadow Island.

Once the passage is opened, it will bring unpredictable disasters to the empire.

Therefore, he must take action to stop LeBlanc's conspiracy.

The empire's next actions will be extremely critical, and it is destined to be a battle of strength and resourcefulness.

Every decision made by the Trifari Council may affect the fate of the empire.

Huo Jixing also thought of this, and then he noticed Swain's hesitation and was about to speak.

"Let me go."

Darius stood up, his dark wolf eyes flashing with violence and murder.

"With the power of the world rune fragments, I can at least escape intact."

"And I don't believe that LeBlanc can completely awaken the will of the old god Volibear."

He recalled the scene when Volibear's will revived.

Under the thunder and storm, people pollute their souls regardless of friend or foe, change their form, and turn them into terrifying monsters.

If LeBlanc wants to awaken the full will of the old god Volibear, she will inevitably be tainted.

This is a dangerous gamble, and Darius doesn't believe that someone as caring as Leblanc will let himself fall into a place of no return.

Huo Jixing stared at Darius, shook his head slowly, and said in a calm tone: "General Darius, it's better for me to go."

"Don't be afraid of the worst, just be afraid of ten thousand. If LeBlanc really awakens all the will of the old god Volibear, then you"

"You can't leave!"

Huo Jixing's expression was extremely determined.

Although Darius can rival the Legend with the power of [Fragments of Violence].

But he will never be Volibear's opponent, especially Volibear who has regained all his will.

"It's just a trick. I will quell the unrest in the Northland before the year."

Huo Jixing looked at Swain and Darius with burning eyes, waiting for a reply.

After breaking through the legend, he is very much looking forward to competing with the old god Volibear to test his current strength.

After thinking for a while, Swain gently shook his head at Darius, taking into account the changes in Huo Jixing.

"Darius, you stay and be responsible for guarding the capital."

Darius frowned, looked at Swain and Huo Jixing, and sat back down.

Now that the candidate has been confirmed, the next thing is very simple.

They must immediately mobilize personnel and go to the border of Northland to seek the truth of the matter.

As the meeting ended, everyone present began to disperse and get busy.

Huo Jixing deliberately stayed until the end because he knew Swain would have questions to ask him.

"Are you sure?" Swain stood behind Huo Jixing, his deep eagle eyes glowing red.

"I really can't answer you before we fight." Huo Jixing said with a smile.

His tone was extremely relaxed, as if he didn't care about his next opponent, the old god Volibear.

Swain stared at the calm Huo Jixing in front of him, with a smile on his cold face.

"Then, I will wait for your good news in the capital and look forward to your triumphant return."

Huo Jixing bowed and saluted, then walked out of the audience hall.

With [Noxtra] here, it would be very easy for him to travel between the northern land and the imperial capital.

Even if something goes wrong with [Noxtra], with his speed, it will be easy to return to the capital.

When Huo Jixing came down the stairs of triumph, he saw Catalina waiting for him.

He immediately walked over, hugged Catalina gently, and reached out to touch her soft face.

"Don't be so tired. There's always more to do."

"Want me to go with you?"

Katerina did not answer Huo Jixing, but spoke her inner thoughts.

Just now in the audience hall, she wanted to persuade Huo Jixing.

The wild killing of the old god Volibear had long been spread throughout the Valoran continent through many mythological stories.

But she did not speak in the end.

This was her man's choice, and she must respect his choice.

"No, you wait for me in the capital, and things will be over soon."

Huo Jixing looked down at Katarina and kissed her white forehead.

"Let's go, go back first."

After saying that, he took Katarina's hand, strolled on the streets of the capital, and headed home.

Huo Jixing was about to leave the capital and go to the northern border, and the matter could not be hidden from those who were interested.

Just as he was waiting for Swain's notice, an unexpected visit broke his quiet life.

At dusk.

The crimson glow sprinkled in the study, and some dust jumped in the light, forming tiny spots of light.

Huo Jixing was sitting behind a wooden table, processing the news about the northern border found by the Reiser Garrison Corps.

Suddenly, Gregory brought Annie to visit him.

"How did you find time to come?"

Huo Jixing walked down the stairs and looked up at Gregory and Annie who came in.

Gregory entered the room, looked around, and said, "We just happened to pass by and wanted to see you."

Huo Jixing led them to sit on the sofa in the living room. Noticing that Annie looked a little unhappy, he asked:

"I remember Annie is going to study in the academy, right?"

"What's wrong, Annie, is there something wrong?"

Annie didn't answer, but held Tibers and came to Huo Jixing. Her little hand gently pulled his clothes, and her big watery eyes were full of grievances.

"Huh? Did you get wronged in the academy? Or did your classmates exclude you?"

Huo Jixing stroked Annie's head and said with a smile.

"No, my father didn't want me to go to the Northland with him." Annie buried her head in Huo Jixing's arms, her voice a little choked.

"Go to the Northland?"

Huo Jixing paused and looked at Gregory who had remained silent since he came in.

Seeing this, Gregory had to tell his purpose.

"I heard that you are going to the border of the North, I.!"

"I want to find Amorin again."

There was an indescribable light in Gregory's eyes, as if he was nostalgic for the good old days.

"I want to go too!" Anne hugged Tibers tightly in her arms and said stubbornly.

Huo Jixing looked helpless, and immediately understood the purpose and contradiction between Gregory and Anne.

Gregory could not let go of Amorin, who was always on his mind.

He used the channels of the secret society behind him to tirelessly search for news about Amorin.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not get any valuable information.

This time, when he heard that Huo Jixing was going to the North, he came to visit and wanted to go together.

The border of the North was where Amorin disappeared.

His departure caused Anne to need someone to take care of her, so she wanted to leave Huo Jixing here and let Heini take care of her.

As a result, Anne became unhappy when she heard her father's plan, and wanted to go with her father to find the trace of her mother.
