The Glory of Noxus

Huo Jixing stood on the stone balcony of the meeting hall, watching the war masons disappear into the Dalmo Plain.

It has been confirmed earlier that all [Noxtora] on the border of Northland are ineffective.

It was originally planned to let the war masons give priority to repairing [Noxtola], but considering the current situation, it is not clear.

Huo Jixing made a decision to directly abandon the use of the [Noxtora] that he had relied on, and set out with the entire army to enter the Dalmo Plain in a mopping-up manner.

As the war masons took the lead, the silent camp gradually came to life and the noise began to rise.

There was a tense and solemn atmosphere in the air, as if the camp was making final preparations for the upcoming battle.

Looking down from the sky, the heavily armed soldiers of the Noxus Empire walked out of the barracks like worker ants.

The soldiers who can come to Drunne are all the elites of the empire.

They wear strong and thick armor, hold sharp weapons, and have firm and cold eyes.

Under the command of the leaders of their respective battle groups, the steel torrent was activated, and one after another poured out of the black camp and rushed towards the Dalmo Plain in the distance.

Boom!

The biting cold wind howled across the Dalmo Plain, stirring up dust and grass blades, but it could not stop the sound of firm steps from echoing in the sky.

The midday sun soaked through the clouds and shone on the plain, reflecting the figures of the soldiers and the imperial flag flying high.

"We're ready to go."

In the meeting hall, Wilson walked over, followed by Kled and the sleepy Skaar.

Huo Jixing nodded slightly and looked directly at the towering Drunje in his field of vision.

The city's architectural style is unique, combining the traditional elements of the Drunne tribe with the solemnity of the Noxian Empire.

Its geographical location made it a transportation hub of the empire, connecting the trade routes and military arteries in the north and south of the empire.

"Black Rose.!"

Huo Jixing whispered, thinking of the invitation from the orderly officer and the noble Drunne last night, a welcome banquet specially held for him.

Although he declined the invitation in the end, he still felt the urgency of the person in the dark.

"Are you so eager to know my moves? Then, I hope you can keep up with me."

Huo Jixing gently pressed Lingfeng on his waist and walked out of the meeting hall.

"Let's go."

Wilson and Kled followed closely, leaving the meeting hall silent.

At the door, Huo Jixing saw Gregory and Anne waiting, and took them with him to integrate into the imperial cavalry array.

The news of the camp's departure could not be concealed from Drunje behind him.

When the Imperial Battle Group entered the Dalmo Plain, many nobles in the city sent out carefully trained secret sentries.

These shadow-like entities merged into the darkness silently, heading towards the depths of the Dalmo Plain.

According to the intelligence information confirmed by the Leiser Guard Corps, it was Drunje who first discovered the situation on the border of Northland.

After their caravan entered the Iron Thorn Mountains, it was like evaporating without any news.

Subsequently, Drunne made many attempts to send secret sentries and guards to conduct in-depth investigations.

But they all disappeared one after another, leaving no trace.

As time went by, Drunne gradually realized.

This is probably not just as simple as the disappearance of the caravan, but something unusual must have happened at the border of Northland.

Faced with such an uncontrollable and extremely strange situation, Drunje felt deeply scared and frightened.

They quickly reported the situation on the Northland border to the Trifali Council, hoping that the empire would take corresponding actions.

But Drunne did not expect that the situation on the northern border would be so serious that it would directly lead to the empire entering a state of war.

Drunne, aristocratic area.

The majestic and gorgeous castle stands, and the gurgling moat is like a silver ribbon surrounding the towering city wall.

In the deepest part of the castle, dim candlelight swayed and danced frequently on the walls, reflecting the dark passage leading to the secret chamber.

This secret room is the last remaining stronghold of Black Rose members.

On both sides of the heavy black long table, beings hidden in the shadows were discussing the departure of the Imperial battle group.

"Confirm the news, the commander of the empire this time is Huo Jixing." A deep and powerful voice sounded.

"Should we send someone into the interior of the battle group?" someone suggested.

"Need not!"

"The pale lady ordered us to stay away from Huo Jixing under any circumstances. He has special abilities that can reveal our abilities and identity."

The person who spoke first refused, his tone full of absolute obedience to the pale lady and deep fear of Huo Jixing.

"Prepare your next plan."

"OK."

"Do I need to contact the hunting lord of the Ursine tribe? To inform the empire of its actions?"

Hearing the werebear tribe and the hunting lord, an atmosphere of silence filled the secret room.

No one dared to speak easily, as they seemed to be very afraid of the hunting lord and the existence behind him.

Only the flickering firelight made a slight sound, gently sweeping over everyone present.

At this moment, in the dim flames, the black rose slowly bloomed, and the strange petals shone with golden light.

"Inform them that I need to secure Huo Jixing at the border of the North."

LeBlanc's voice came through the black rose, clear and firm.

"The hunting lord and the old god Volibear are the best choices."

"At your will, great pale lady!"

In the secret room, many shadows left their seats, prostrated themselves, and paid high respects to Leblanc.

Wait until the dim candlelight went out.

The conspiracy of the black rose unfolded silently.

Deep in the Dalmo Plain.

The gloomy and thick atmosphere covered the sky, and the crimson sunset glow could not penetrate the clouds, making the surrounding environment look gray.

Suddenly!

A deafening roar resounded across the plain.

On the desolate plain, crimson flags fluttered in the wind, and the Noxus Empire's war group was moving forward.

From a distance, it looked like a winding black dragon, covering the mountains and plains, boundless.

This was the first time that Huo Jixing served as the commander of the Empire's war group.

He stood on the high platform of the central army, his eyes filled with red-gold flames, looking ahead.

Although it was just a simple march forward, for Huo Jixing, it was like getting a new toy, and he couldn't wait to explore it.

The war group cluster is composed of many elite war groups of the empire.

Each war group has its own unique culture, hierarchy and combat preference.

Huo Jixing needs to carry out specific on-site division of labor for these war groups.

Some war groups will be assigned as scouts, some will become front-line commandos, and some will become heavy infantry or heavy cavalry, etc.

As long as it suits their skills.

With the cooperation of Wilson, Huo Jixing integrated the power of the war group cluster and prepared for this war in advance.

"Huh? Are they those guys again?"

Huo Jixing frowned, looking at the light gray clouds that appeared in the red-gold vision, with an imperceptible sneer on the corner of his mouth.

It is the bear monster left on the plain.

These irrational bear monsters are like cursed ghosts, wandering in the depths of the plain.

They are full of endless killing desire for the life that appears in front of them.

When the imperial war group set out, the front-line commandos encountered the bear monsters many times.

They were fearless, completely ignoring the disparity in strength between the enemy and us, and rushed forward with a roar.

Then, they were submerged in the surging steel torrent, becoming flesh and blood nutrients, nourishing the Dalmo Plain.

Boom!

In the distance, the running front-line commandos saw the hideous and ugly bear monsters, and quickly formed a battle array under the command of the leader.

Then, the front-line commando cavalry, wearing heavy armor, drove the tall and handsome war horses also covered with armor, and launched a majestic charge.

On the wide plain, the heavy armored cavalry can give full play to their advantages.

Their charge was as fierce as a storm, trampling and ravaging the plain, raising billowing smoke and dust.

With just one round of charge, the bear monsters who came one after another turned into meat paste under the trampling of the iron hooves.

Afterwards, the front-line commandos followed the direction from which the bear monsters came, dispersed, and conducted a carpet search.

They hope to find traces left by the people behind so as to further understand the enemy's movements and intentions.

On the desolate plain, the front-line commandos quickly separated in a fan shape, showing the tactical quality and teamwork ability of the Empire's elite, and not letting go of any suspicious clues.

In the camp tent.

The lights were bright, just like daylight.

The soldiers of the Reiser Garrison Legion were extremely busy processing the intelligence sent by many war groups.

They looked very serious and focused, not missing any details, which were related to the direction of the war.

Huo Jixing stood in the center of the tent, his eyes lowered, looking at the war sand table in front of him.

Most areas of the Dalmo Plain have been planted with green flags, and only a small part of the remaining area still has red flags.

The green flag represents the safe area that has been searched, and the bear monsters in it have been completely cleared.

The red flag represents the area that has not been searched yet and cannot be determined to be dangerous.

Huo Jixing's eyes swept across the war sand table, and at the same time, he listened to the report of the soldiers of the Reiser Garrison Corps.

Hearing the hurried footsteps, Huo Jixing looked up at Wilson who came in.

"How is the situation?"

He was asking about the bear monsters that had just appeared in the depths of the plain.

"There are no clues. It's almost the same as before. They just appeared naturally." Wilson shook his head.

Huo Jixing was silent for a while and continued to give orders.

"Pass my order, the front-line commandos and scouts will disperse and go deep into the Dalmo Plain and the Iron Thorn Mountains."

"Okay."

After Huo Jixing gave the order, he looked at the sand table with a solemn expression, and his eyes fell on the Iron Thorn Mountains.

The situation at the northern border is very bad

Before, I only learned from intelligence that the situation here might be more serious.

But after entering the Dalmo Plain, I realized that the simplicity of words is far less than personal experience.

This land is shrouded in a gray environment, and the desolate and miserable scene makes people feel cold.

As they approached the Iron Thorn Mountains, the war group began to frequently encounter bear monsters.

Although they were not a big deal, Huo Jixing was very uneasy.

These bear monsters were just the tip of the iceberg. The existence behind them was what Huo Jixing feared.

In the dead of winter, the air was filled with a cold breath.

Huo Jixing was working at his desk.

Suddenly, the tent was opened, and Annie came in holding Tibers and Snow White Poro.

"Uncle Huo Jixing."

Annie came to Huo Jixing with light steps, and a trace of obvious worry appeared on her cute face.

Huo Jixing turned his head, hugged Annie on his legs, and said with a smile.

"What, can't you sleep?"

Annie nodded, leaning on Huo Jixing's shoulder, her voice low and trembling.

"Well, I miss my mother so much."

"I haven't seen her for a long time, I'm so afraid to forget her appearance."

Huo Jixing listened to Annie's words, and his heart was filled with sorrow.

He didn't expect Annie's longing in her heart to be so strong and so deep.

He reached out and gently stroked Annie's hair, saying softly.

"Don't worry, Annie. Your mother will always be in your heart, her appearance, her smile will always accompany you."

Annie raised her head, looked at Huo Jixing's star-like eyes, and asked softly.

"Uncle Huo Jixing, do you think we can find the trace of our mother this time?"

The Imperial War Group Cluster is about to leave the Dalmo Plain and enter the Iron Thorn Mountains.

The village where Gregory and Annie once lived is in the Iron Thorn Mountains.

They spent countless peaceful and beautiful days there, leaving many memorable scenes.

The temporarily lost news of the Fortress of Digwo is also located in the Ironthorn Mountains.

This solid fortress was once the glory of the empire, but now there is no news and it is covered with layers of fog.

Huo Jixing held Annie, looked at the map hanging on the wall, and made a decision secretly.

The speed of the Imperial War Group is too slow, and the movement of such a large army cannot be hidden from the observation of the people in the dark.

They are closely watching the huge Imperial War Group, and making conspiracies based on the movement.

The biting cold wind blows in the face, and the mountain road covered with snow extends to the ice and snow mountains in the distance.

Huo Jixing feels the familiar cold wind, stops, looks around the rolling snow-capped mountains, and understands that this is the Ironthorn Mountains.

Behind him are Kled, Gregory and Annie, as well as hundreds of Noxian blood cavalry.

The Imperial War Group is moving a little slowly, and many war groups need to cooperate with each other, plus the baggage troops, which seriously affects the speed.

Huo Jixing couldn't wait, so he left behind a role player of his own, and asked Wilson to lead the Imperial Corps forward to clear the bear monsters they encountered.

He led Kled and a hundred Noxian blood cavalrymen, secretly left the main force, and set off first.

Huo Jixing looked around, took out the map drawn by the Reiser Garrison Corps, calibrated and confirmed the location.

On the map, there was an Imperial village in the nearby mountains, which was usually a supply point for sentinels and scouts.

Huo Jixing put away the map and exhaled to the front to drive away the cold.

Then, he led Kled and others to move forward to find the location of the village.
