"Finally can't help it anymore? Hahaha~" A string of chuckles rang out under the silent night sky, and what was reflected in the dark night was LeBlanc's smiling eyes.

"I thought you would remain silent forever!" Julian was silent.

In the dark night, the chilling atmosphere quietly spread in the corner of the Immortal Fortress,

Countless people in black clothes and armor stood in front of the open space in the courtyard, holding weapons that had just been distributed not long ago.

They stood silently, like sculptures, quietly listening to the quiet and somewhat hoarse words of the people on the stage.

But in the corner of the team, LeBlanc used her voice to overcome the thick darkness of the night, and dispersed the gathering dark clouds, as well as Swain who was speaking on the stage.

Her laughter was very soft, so soft that only Julian could hear it, but with a disarming confidence, "It's all about human effort, isn't it?"

LeBlanc’s words always seem so simple and direct:

"You have seen the mission plan. If every item in it can be executed perfectly, then there will be no doubt about the success of the plan."

Julian continued to remain silent. This silence was more like a kind of depression, a kind of hesitation that was very different from the hesitation of the soldiers standing not far away. He seemed to still have doubts in his heart.

For tonight's plan, but also for facing the empire.

So, LeBlanc spoke, with her always gentle look, her voice was like a trickle of Dingdong creek, caressing the back of his ears, guiding Julian's thoughts:

"Think about your dream when you first chose to join, and think about your persistence that you have always been unwilling to give up."

"Why did you choose to stand here?"

"for what?"

The dark ditch, weeping eyes, the bustling lights in the distance and the nearby dilapidated house walls flashed across our eyes like a slideshow. Together with them, there was LeBlanc's voice:

"It is for the future of the empire. We have seen a future that others have not seen, a future that is falling apart and burning with war.

It will smear the people of the empire, destroy villages and villages, and stain our cherished places red with blood. Can you...can you accept all this?"

"No!" Julian growled and clenched his fists. His performance satisfied LeBlanc: "Yes, no! In this case, we must do our best to change and change that future.

We are just to prevent tragedy from happening to the land of Noxus! Since we are just, then..."

"Justice will prevail!"

"Justice...must win!" On the roof, Swain said the same words, and a wave of shouts resounded through the night sky.

The world here has long been shrouded in magic, so everyone can shout with all their strength,

And Julian is also gritting his teeth like them, bit by bit, strengthening his fragile confidence————

right,

Perhaps the person with the least confidence in the room is the boy in front of him who has the strongest strength and the quietest personality.

As the person who knows Julian best, LeBlanc could tell at a glance what concerns the boy in front of him had about the upcoming mission. He - after all, he had been a 'good boy' for twenty-two years.

I was born in this land, grew up listening to the stories of heroes, and took up the armor left by my predecessors and fought desperately for the country that stands on this land for ten years.

Times have changed, and even though there are various reasons, the moment we really come to the opposite side, there are still shackles in our hearts that are difficult to break.

It was a chain that bound his heart and his strength. It was not thick, but it was extremely heavy.

LeBlanc was not willing to help him untie the shackles, but she wanted to temporarily "untie" him.

Even if there was only one night, she would let this child use all her strength.

'Come on Julian, show your power. For me, you need to grow a little faster.' LeBlanc murmured in her heart, but she still spoke gentle words of encouragement on her face: "For the alliance, for the empire,

More...we need your strength for the sake of all those you hold dear."

"And what you have to do tonight is to decide the lives of all people and even the fate of the empire. Whether you succeed or not is entirely in your hands...! Are you confident that you can do it well?"

"I...have." Slowly closing his eyes and then opening them again, Julian felt that his heartbeat was a little fast and a little chaotic at the moment, but looking at LeBlanc's expectant eyes, he still said that affirmation

answer.

"I believe you!" Staring into Julian's eyes, LeBlanc said words of trust, but she kept shaking her head in her heart.

'Such a character may be too weak. It seems that the methods originally prepared can no longer be retained.'

Lifting his bare hands, he straightened Yuri's collar and watched as he lowered his head and solemnly put the serrated dagger he had been given into his pocket.

LeBlanc waved her hand to summon someone,

She was dressed in a white robe and a white gauze similar to LeBlanc's outfit, but she had a silence similar to Julian's.

When she stood still, LeBlanc slowly spoke to Julian:

"She is Sophia, my friend in the Arcane Fist. She once worked for the great magician Gregor Hastur. Now she chooses to stand with the Alliance for the future of the empire. I... give her to you, you

You can trust her completely, just like you trust me."

"She will guide you to a secret stronghold of the Arcane Fists in the Immortal Fortress."

"I have received definite information that the group of people headed by Gregor are holding a meeting in a secret stronghold tonight. I want you to eradicate them."

"Although they are nominally centrists in the Arcane Fist, in fact they secretly collude with my enemies in the Arcane Fist, giving and receiving privately, and serving the tyrant. This kind of behavior is undoubtedly endangering the security of the empire.

.”

"Julian, find them and chop off their heads. Although those people's magic skills are powerful, I have full confidence in you. I hope you can complete the mission as soon as possible. Then Sophia will take you to meet me. By then, we will

We must also eradicate those real villains, the silverfish of the empire! I will let you see their darkness and evil with your own eyes."

"Yes!" Julian, wearing soft armor, responded seriously.

in the courtyard,

Swain's speech had ended, and groups of passionate soldiers left under the cover of night, heading to the predetermined location to wait for the battle to begin.

There were fewer and fewer people left in the courtyard of the residence. Even Riel and Gabriel came to say goodbye to Julian at this time.

"Sir, please protect yourself." Gabriel was wearing light soft armor and a large black windbreaker with a serious face. Julian pressed his fist on his chest and responded, "I will."

As a grand plan for the alliance to attack with all its strength,

Tonight, no one is destined to stay away.

Julian, who has strong combat power and is suitable for fighting alone, is assigned to the beheading operation, while Riel and Gabri, who are not so strong in combat power, have to face the battlefield duel with Swain.

Gabri's ability to control dust is very suitable for battlefield reconnaissance, while Riel on the side is wrapped in a heavy armor weighing dozens of kilograms, with only a pair of golden-red eyes staring at Julian,

"If you die, I will avenge you, along with my mother's share!" After a long while, the heavy iron fist was swung out, but it landed lightly on Julian's shoulder. The girl's words were so simple.

Directly, but with a monstrous murderous intent,

Julian, who was most aware of her strength and potential, gently reached out, rubbed the black steel helmet, and gave a different kind of promise: "What I said will always be fulfilled, no matter what happens in the future.

How long has it been?"

Riel smiled, and she left, satisfied with the answer, and followed Swain's footsteps with Gabriel.

On this night, perhaps everyone has their own battlefield and battle,

After LeBlanc, who was left behind at the end, turned and left,

The only ones left in the same place were Julian and Sophia, who was dressed in dazzling white.

"Are you ready to move?"

"Okay!" The cold voice and cold eyes cooled the burning heart like knives.

Raising his hand and touching his waist, Julian took a deep breath and replied in a deep voice.

"Then let's go."

As soon as the words fell, the two figures disappeared from the spot.

In the distance, several dogs barked,

In the sky, thick clouds rolled in and thunder rumbled,
Chapter completed!
