The Glory of Noxus

The quiet camp was like an earth dragon reviving, the fiery breath filled the sky, and bursts of noise echoed on the ancient land.

In the narrow and winding streets, the heavily armed Noxian soldiers lined up neatly. Under the leadership of crimson imperial flags, they embarked on the journey with firm and powerful steps.

In the streets passing along the way, Noxian residents silently opened their windows and stared at the long steel team, their eyes full of fiery emotions.

They whispered softly and sent blessings to these soldiers who were about to go to the battlefield.

It is different from aristocratic warlord forces such as the Varrokan family who only focus on their own interests.

Ordinary Noxians are sincerely pleased with the recent changes in the Empire.

They had long been fed up with the bloody dictatorship of the empire's dark period, and the many policies and regulations pursued had not brought about substantial changes in their lives.

Instead, it brings endless disaster and suffering.

Nowadays, many laws issued by the Trifari Council are clearly biased towards the lower classes.

These decrees allow them to see the channels for promotion and the hope of hard work again.

Especially when the Diver Fort was in difficulty, the emergence of the Imperial Chapter Group changed their fate.

It was these Noxian soldiers who fought bravely and rekindled the hope of life for countless ordinary people who were on the verge of despair at that time.

It was also at this moment that young children gathered in the streets and alleys, following the long steel dragons with their eyes, and the idea of ​​joining the army emerged in their hearts.

What they saw was not only the powerful force of the empire, but also the path to change their destiny.

Every child dreams of one day being able to put on eye-catching black armor, stand in the smoke-filled war, and win glory and a future.

Huojixing stands on a towering platform, overlooking the scene taking place in the Diver Fort.

He is happy to see such a scene, because everything now has his hard work.

At the same time, Swain's political ideals of meritocracy were slowly transforming the Noxian Empire.

Regardless of social status, life background, motherland, hometown and personal wealth.

Anyone may gain power, status, and respect in Noxus as long as they demonstrate the necessary abilities.

Rather than being born with noble blood!

A new era for the Noxus Empire is beginning, and every person with lofty ideals will step onto the stage of the empire in the coming chaos.

The days of relying on blood and privilege have become a thing of the past.

Huo Jixing retracted his observation gaze and turned to go to Annie's residence.

The thick door curtain was lifted, and the cold air of winter poured into the restaurant along with the tall figure.

At the dining table, Gregory and Anne had just finished lunch and were whispering softly, with a trace of longing and worry in their eyes.

Annie noticed the influx of cold air and frowned cutely, but after seeing Huo Jixing, she quickly jumped off the wooden bench and ran over, looking happy and shouting.

"Uncle Huo Jixing!"

Gregory, who was sitting upright, also stood up and nodded lightly to Huo Jixing.

"Have you eaten? There's still some food in the kitchen."

"No, I've already eaten."

Huo Jixing gently rubbed Annie's head and said with a slightly apologetic tone.

"I'm sorry, Annie, the Northland border is really busy during this time."

"I agreed to your request, but I haven't done it yet."

Hearing this, Annie put away the longing in her eyes, smiled and shook her head: "It doesn't matter to me, Uncle Huo Jixing, your matters are more important."

Huo Jixing originally promised Annie that after entering the Diver Fort, he would arrange a wait and go to the mountains where the village once was to look for traces of Amorin.

However, what happened one after another forced him to sit in the Diver Fort and use all his strength to resist the invasion of the bear-man monsters.

Seeing the longing in Annie's eyes, Huo Jixing sighed softly and directly put forward his idea without beating around the bush.

"Annie, I need your help in this battle on the northern border of the empire."

Kled was a card that was already on the table. In the recent battle at Fort Diver, he showed his edge and was already exposed.

But Anne and Gregory, who followed, never took action.

Huo Jixing has been hiding Annie, preparing to use her as a surprise soldier to change the situation of the war at the most critical moment.

Don't underestimate Annie who hasn't grown up yet.

Annie's own pyromagnetic talent is terrifying enough, and Tibbers' power can change the situation of the battle.

"Of course, Uncle Huo Jixing, I'm glad Annie can help you."

Annie looked up at Huo Jixing with her lovely face, her eyes shining with firmness, and nodded gently.

Her mother, Amoline, has been missing for many years and there is no news at all.

This time Anne and Gregory came here, just with a little faith, looking for possible clues and traces.

Although Huo Jixing had no time because of the bear-man monster incident, Annie had no intention of blaming Huo Jixing.

On the contrary, she is very sensible, understands Huo Jixing's difficulties, and is eager to help Huo Jixing.

Annie's firm answer was within Huo Jixing's expectation.

Even without asking, Anne would obey her orders without hesitation.

But he chose to respect Anne and Gregory.

Huo Jixing raised his eyes and landed on Gregory.

"Anne is too young. I'm afraid something might go wrong. Come along and help defend the position."

Gregory looked helpless, and he heard the implication of Huo Jixing's words.

Let Anne protect herself.

Compared to the strength of his daughter Anne, his strength is indeed a bit weak.

If you are accidentally attacked by bear monsters, you will probably stay in the North Icefield forever.

Huo Jixing's decision made Annie feel warm in her heart. She knew her father's care and concern for her.

Anne turned to look at Gregory, with pride shining in her eyes: "Father, I will not let you down."

Gregory took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, let us fight for the empire together this time."

In the following time, Huo Jixing continued to chat with Anne and Gregory for a while, mainly reminding them of some things to pay attention to.

For example, those terrifying monsters that have survived the erosion of the void since ancient times possess terrifying power.

Part of the reason why he invited Anne to take action this time was the threat posed by those ancient creatures.

But more importantly, he wants to take advantage of this upcoming war——

One battle will decide the outcome!

Directly eradicate the source of disaster on the northern border.

Huo Jixing's eyes flashed slightly as he recalled the secret plan he and the Leiser Guard Corps had prepared.

The empire's battle groups clustered together and prepared to establish fixed defensive points on the mountains on both sides of the Diver Fort.

Annie is responsible for the defensive area on the left, and Kled is responsible for the defensive area on the right. The two are in a pocket shape in the snowy mountains.

They will hold their position and drive all the incoming bear monsters into the center of the formation, which is also the most dangerous area that Jiexing is personally responsible for guarding.

Digging Fort!

This ancient northern fortress will become the burial place of the bear tribe.

After a cup of tea, Huo Jixing left his residence.

Before he had gone far, he frowned slightly, and his body automatically lifted into the air, reaching above the clouds.

Immediately afterwards, red-gold fireworks erupted in the dark eyes, looking at the dim clouds in the distance.

Only the boundless thunder was seen, like black clouds pressing down, coming from far to near, overturning.

Seeing this, Huo Jixing gently pressed the spirit wind hanging around his waist and whispered.

"Destiny is coming."

"I am the future!"

Winter is coming, ice and snow are dancing, covering the rugged and stretching mountains.

Under the distant sky, thick and dull black clouds blocked the sunlight, like a bottomless pool of ink, polluting the world of ice and snow, and muddying the clear world.

Finally, mottled black light and shadow penetrated the clouds and fell on the snow, reflecting the liquid flowing on the ground.

There were surprisingly countless, ferocious bear-man monsters.

Their bodies were covered with filthy fluids and exuded a disgusting stench.

The eyes were as red as blood, and the split mouth was filled with sharp teeth.

Every breath makes a low and terrifying sound, like a demon from the abyss coming to the world, making people shudder.

As the bear monsters surged forward, the snow-covered mountains screamed, and the stirred up wind and snow merged into the black wave.

It seems that everything is dominated by these bear monsters, and their appearance fills the ice and snow world with fear and despair.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Suddenly, the buzzing sound of a swarm of bees appeared.

Above the mountains, bowstrings hummed, and barbed steel arrows pierced the clouds, pouring like rain, piercing the cold wind and covering the sky.

The bear monsters who were unexpectedly attacked paused for a moment.

The steel arrow fell, directly clearing a small wave of darkness.

But under the influence of the gods deep in their souls, even if death comes, the bear-man monsters still rush to their designated positions fearlessly.

At the same time, in the cold wind, the crimson imperial flag was raised and rustling.

Surrounding the imperial flag were Noxian cavalry who were already in full formation.

Although Kled is a yordle and has a short body, he stands at the front of the array with full aura, and beside him is the trembling Skaar.

"Hey, coward, don't be scared."

Kled held Skaar's head, trying to relax it, and spoke in a low tone.

"The boys around us are looking at us, be brave!"

Just as they were talking, black waves came one after another, and the ugly faces of the bear monsters were faintly visible.

Kled immediately climbed onto Skaar's back, a cold murderous intent on his plush face.

Defense?

In Kled's eyes, the best defense is offense.

Facing the falling wind and snow, Kled slowly came to the front of the Noxian Scarlet Cavalry. Behind them was the Noxian Expeditionary Cavalry.

These expeditionary cavalry are the backbone of the Noxus Empire's campaigns in all directions.

They are strong and powerful, wearing heavy armor engraved with the mark of the double-edged axe. They are loyal to the Empire and the Trifari Council, and open up territory for the Noxus Empire.

Kled raised his silver-grey ax, grinned, and drove Skaarl from east to west.

The sharp ax in his hand touched the heavy lance of each Noxian Scarlet Cavalry, making a crisp metallic sound, playing the gorgeous movement of war.

One day in Beiyuan, the grass blades were like halberds.

The cold wind is biting and those who trespass will die!

"Noxus!"

Kled roared loudly, and a fiery light burst out from his single left eye.

The next moment!

He tightened the reins, rode Skaar, and led the Noxian cavalry behind him, like an arrow from a string, carrying the wind and snow in the sky, and rushed towards the black wave in the distance.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The roar of the steel ballista, mixed with the deafening sound of iron hoofs, sounded like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, suppressing everything between heaven and earth.

Time is extremely slow at this moment.

Kree and the Noxian cavalry followed the heavy steel crossbow and charged resolutely.

Each step they took stirred up countless snowflakes, like a white storm sweeping across the sky and earth.

Kree's sharp axe shone in the sun, with a bit of cold light.

Skaarl neighed and ran hard, leaving deep marks on the snow with his scaled iron hooves.

It felt Kree's determination and rushed towards the enemy camp more bravely.

At this moment, Kree's figure seemed unusually tall in the wind and snow. Every swing of his axe was like the judgment of fate, ruthlessly taking the life of the bear monster.

The Noxian cavalry followed closely behind, their eyes full of determination and fearlessness.

These cavalrymen had already experienced the baptism of countless battles, knew the importance of this battle, and vowed to fight for glory.

They were wearing armor, raised the heavy lances on their waists and abdomens, and pierced straight into the black waves, bringing up countless black liquids.

In an instant!

Noxian cavalrymen and bear monsters fought on the snowy plains below, and the blood splattered the ground.

The battle intensified, and Kree's axe was already stained with ink.

But he did not stop at all, and continued to lead the cavalrymen to charge.

The shouts on the battlefield, the roars of killing, and the sound of sharp blades piercing flesh and blood intertwined, blowing an exciting symphony.

And on the left side of the mountain range of Fort Delver.

Compared with the fierce offensive of Kree and the Noxian Empire cavalry, it was much quieter here.

Alyssa led the soldiers of the Valrokan family, standing in the carefully constructed trenches, overlooking the black waves that filled the foot of the mountain and the bear monsters rushing up.

She lowered her body, her palm lightly touched the ice and snow, and the biting cold penetrated her body along her fingers.

Alyssa looked at the nearby soldiers who were nervous but with burning eyes, her eyes lowered, and she vaguely understood what Kree and Wilson said at the time.

Alyssa, as the heir of the Valrokan family, had noble blood.

She never understood the pain and the sin of dust endured by the Noxians who toiled in the dark mines under the mountain fortress.

She also never experienced the deep sorrow experienced by the soldiers who fought bravely in the Ironthorn Mountains and the endless snow and witnessed the death of their companions.

Alyssa exhaled lightly and looked back at the big and small figures behind the formation.

They ignored the wind and snow and watched the situation below the trench.

The two were Gregory, a warlock from the Imperial Secret Society, and his daughter,

Annie, the Daughter of Darkness!

In the intelligence collected by the Valrokan family, there was an introduction to Anne, describing her as a fire mage with amazing talent.

Now, Anne has been appointed as the commander of this battlefield by Lord Huo Jixing.

As time passed, Gregory looked down at the increasingly approaching bear monsters, stepped forward, and roared.

"Archers!"

"Target, bear tribe, shoot!"
