"Miss, miss, the general is holding a war meeting inside. You can't go in now!"

In the barracks, General Ducao and several staff members were discussing military affairs around a huge sand table map, when they suddenly heard the voice of a guard coming from outside the barracks.

Just when he was about to get angry, he heard the noise of the guards outside the door and frowned, his face expressionless. Then, a red-haired woman exuding a cold aura broke through the obstruction and walked in.

Ducao looked up and saw her long red hair fluttering in the wind. A long scar divided her left eye into two parts. With a pair of slender eyes, even though she had a beautiful face, everyone in the room couldn't help but feel a sense of confusion.

She was feeling chilly. She was wearing a leather jacket, trousers and short boots, exposing the mermaid lines on her waist and her perfect curves. But she held a dagger in each hand, full of murderous intent.

Seeing that he could not stop him, the guard outside the door turned his attention to Ducao. Under the signal of his eyes, he bowed and returned to the door and stood at attention. When the staff officer in the room saw the person coming, he involuntarily stepped aside.

The road allowed her to walk to the table without any hindrance, and face to face with Duke Kao.

General Dukecao looked at his daughter Catalina across from him in silence, their eyes met, his brows slightly wrinkled and then slowly relaxed.

"What are you doing here?" Duke Kao spoke first, without any fluctuation in his tone.

Catalina on the opposite side didn't answer. After a long time, Ducao spoke again, this time with a slightly cold tone: "Now is the critical moment of the battle. You should be at Green Teeth Peak, in the Villar Valley, in

battlefield, not here."

Catalina remained silent in response, but this time Ducao became even colder and his aura spread out. The temperature in the entire barracks seemed to be a few degrees lower, and even the fire in the stove seemed to have become smaller.

"Come here, take her back to the frontline camp. This is the staff headquarters, not Noxtra. You can let people watch." Just when General Ducao became angry, Catalina spoke.

"Where is Tai Lung?" A cold and deep voice suddenly sounded in their ears, making everyone slightly change their expression.

Seeing his daughter's calm words with hints of anger, Duke Kao's expression remained unchanged, his cold eyes swept towards the soldiers who walked into the room but could only surround Catalina and did not dare to move, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

: "Why don't you do it quickly?"

The surrounding guards looked at each other. The leading guard saluted Catalina and said, "Miss, I'm sorry."

The surrounding guards unsheathed their weapons one after another, but no one dared to take action first as they looked at Catalina who was clutching her double daggers in the center.

Just when the situation was about to break, Tai Lung's figure suddenly appeared from the air, appeared behind General Ducao, bowed slightly and said: "General, please allow me and the lady to go out and talk for a while."

As soon as Tai Lung's figure appeared, the soldiers surrounding him breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily, stepped back slightly, and vacated their positions. Catalina's eyes looked at Tai Long closely the moment he appeared, with a cold look in her eyes.

The coldness retreated slightly, a trace of confusion appeared on his face, and it quickly returned to a cold posture.

Duke Kao didn't even look at Talon who suddenly appeared. He glanced at the surrounding soldiers one by one, and then cast his eyes on Catalina in the center. He was silent for a long time and nodded lightly.

The next moment, Tyrone and Catalina disappeared into the barracks in an instant. Seeing that the two disappeared, everyone in the room couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. The leading guard saluted Duke Kao and then a group of soldiers

Filed out.

The quarrels and conversations resumed in the room again. Only Duke Cao's eyes looked at the red light of the fire, and there was a trace of undetectable murderous intent reflected in his eyes.

Outside the camp, among the trees, two figures quickly shuttled through the forest, passing over the tree trunks and branches. The branches and leaves swayed slightly, and a gust of wind blew by. It was unclear whether it was the wind blowing or the shadow movement.

Tyrone and Catalina walked one behind the other. Tyrone's steps were steady, his eyes calmly looking at the distant scenery in the forest, silent. Catalina followed closely behind, with a perfect figure like an elf leaping in the forest.

Beautiful and elegant. But her eyes were tightly locked on Tai Lung's back in front of her. Her red lips were slightly pursed, and her eyes were wandering, as if she had countless things she wanted to say.

"Click——"

The long boots stepped lightly on the slender branches, but because of distraction, they broke the branches. Catalina's body suddenly sank and fell downwards. But she was not in a hurry, and her eyes instantly regained clarity.

Her body stopped falling in mid-air, as if there was an invisible barrier in the air. Let her tiptoe a little out of the air, her body rose instead of falling, and landed steadily on the tree trunk in front of her.

Tailong, who heard this noise, had silently stopped on the tree trunk further ahead, standing with his back, silent.

Catalina stood still and looked at him who turned her back, her eyes were complicated and blurred.

After a long time, Tai Lung didn't speak. Catalina lowered her head and sighed, then said softly: "How are you...how have you been lately?"

Hearing Catalina's angry and resentful voice, which was no longer as cold as before, Tai Long stiffened slightly. He looked at the green leaves hanging in front of him as if he was fascinated, and for a long time he uttered one word: "

good."

Hearing this response, Catalina trembled slightly, and said with a wry smile on her face for a long time: "You are still the same, you haven't changed in more than ten years."

Tai Lung had calmed down at this time, looking through the dense forest with his eyes at the dappled sunlight above his head. "You shouldn't have come back here."

Listening to Tyrone's calm words, Catalina's eyes flashed with pain, and her lips trembled slightly. It took her a while to calm down, and she pretended not to care and said, "Really? If I don't come back, just leave him here."

You’ve left Noxus and still haven’t returned?”

Tai Lung was silent for a long time, not knowing how to speak.

With a trace of confusion in her eyes, Catalina looked at the figure in the distance, and after a long time she asked: "Where is he?"

"He is very important to you?" Tyrone suddenly spoke, without answering Catalina's words.

Catalina looked at the mottled tree shadows and shook her head gently: "What does it matter whether it is important or not? He saved my life, I owe him a favor."

Tai Lung remained silent, and Carter's tone slowly stabilized. After a long silence, he said softly: "So I entrust him to your guidance."

"But you didn't bring him back." Looking at Tyrone's motionless back, Catalina's voice became calmer and calmer, like a fountain of eyes that could not be seen to the end.

"Why?"

Tai Lung remained silent, and Carter spoke softly again, as if asking himself the question: "Why?"

"I'm sorry." Tyrone turned around calmly and met Catalina's eyes:

"sorry."

Catalina's body trembled slightly, and she quickly regained her composure. Her eyes slowly turned cold. She pursed her lips slightly, then loosened them, then pursed them again, and then loosened them again. She nodded lightly for a long time, and the corners of her mouth hung.

An expression that looks like a smile but not a smile

"I understand." Catalina slowly turned around, all emotions were swept away, and there was only coldness in her eyes: "I will return to the front line, win this war, and bring him back, no matter what

It’s life or death.”

The next second, Catalina tapped her toes on the branches, jumped a few times, and disappeared into the woods all the way to the west.

A breeze blew by, the branches swayed from side to side, and the breeze conveyed whispers to his ears.

"In the future we will be enemies, not..."

The sound of the wind gradually died down, Tai Lung looked at his retreating figure, his face was like ice that had not melted for thousands of years, without any expression at all.

...

"Mr. Marimus, welcome to your arrival!" In the camp where people were coming and going, Villar was dressed in black and red robes, with an ink-colored half-covered armor underneath, and he was accompanied by a group of staff and guards.

, walked out of his barracks and met a group of more than ten people.

I saw that everyone was covered in black robes and masks on their heads, covering all skin except for a faint blue fist emblem on the chest. The leader took off the mask, revealing a square face. This

There seemed to be a middle-aged man in his forties. Looking at Villar who was coming towards him, he looked slightly tired. He waved his hands and said, "Mr. Villar, for the great cause of the empire, we are a group of fourteen people."

But I have been traveling day and night, and I dare not take any rest!"

Villar and Marimus reached out to hold each other's hands, then took a step back slightly, saying with a smile: "Your Excellency, the Fist of Arcana, has contributed to the empire. When I return home after winning, I will definitely explain to the Commander-in-Chief that tonight

It is getting late, and I have already prepared a place for you to rest. Please rest first and discuss the important military affairs tomorrow morning."

Marimus shook his head slightly and said to the mages behind him: "Gentlemen, please go and rest first. I will discuss military affairs with General Villar."

As everyone behind him left one after another, Marimus turned to look at Villar and said: "You and I both know the importance of this war. We'd better finish the discussion in the room first and then take a rest."

"Okay, okay, please!" Villar nodded and was not polite. He and Marimus entered the barracks and sat down around the huge sand table in the center of the room. The other staff members also sat down in sequence.

When everyone sat down, Villar looked around, and then cast his eyes on Marimus. Their eyes intertwined. Villar nodded slightly, pointed to the sand table map and said: "Our army is in the area of ​​Green Teeth Peak.

The enemy has been entangled for more than a month, but the enemy has relied on the advantages of the terrain and the Forbidden Demon Stone to prevent our army from breaking through the defense line. In order to kill the enemy in one fell swoop, I first asked General Duke Cao to send his assassin Tailong to Er.

Wendell City assassinated Quinn, who had the title of Wings of Demacia. Although it was unsuccessful, Quinn and the blue rock falcon were seriously injured, so that the Demacians lost their most advantageous eagle eye and could not

Gain insight into the movements of our army."

"Then I used a small group of troops to create suspicions, repeatedly pulled and divided, and finally set up an ambush around the Villar Valley, and surrounded the two elite Demacian battle groups under Pitt's leadership in the Villar Valley.

Your Excellency, please take a look!”

While listening to Villar's narration, Marimus looked at the Villar Valley on the sand table map. Shaped by the sand, the valley became an oval, with two branches representing the Demacians inserted in the middle.

Under the banner of Sword and Shield, the terrain on the left and right slopes gradually increases. Near the top, there is suddenly a steep wall like a knife, and at the mouth of the valley on both sides facing west, three Noxian heads are planted.

There is a flag in the shape of an axe, and further to the west is the winding Forbidden Stone defense line with five or six flags planted on it. To the east of the valley is a double-headed ax flag, and further east in the valley

There are five or six double-headed ax flags scattered on the mountains and hills outside.

Looking at the sand table, Marimus pondered for a long time and said: "Looking at the current situation, it seems that if we just surround and annihilate these two enemy battle groups, we will not be able to break through the Forbidden Demon Stone defense line."

Villar smiled slightly and explained unhurriedly: "These two are elite troops led by the enemy's frontline commander Peter Crown Guard, and some of them are elite warriors from the fearless vanguard. If they are destroyed, then the enemy's

The defense line will be unable to withstand the impact of the Imperial Legion, so the enemy will inevitably come to support."

"Pete's troops in the valley will also try their best to break through to the west and join up with the enemy. The three troops besieged at the west entrance of the valley may be under tremendous pressure, while the leading troops of our army who are bypassing the valley and taking small roads to support them will

The troops have already set off, led by the eldest daughter of the Dukecao family. The other troops will take more time to arrive, and the enemy troops are restrained by support troops on both sides. They want to let the iron-blooded Noxian soldiers

A defeat will require a greater price, and similarly, it will also take time for our army to encircle and suppress the two legions of Pitt's Army."

"so..."

"So what we have to do is help the empire's army destroy this..."

"Vilar Valley." Villar said the name with a smile, "I named it myself. I believe that in a few days, I will destroy the enemy here, break through the Forbidden Demon Stone defense line in one go, and complete the empire.
To be continued...
