"Tap, step, step, step..." Along the ancient galloping road, dozens of mounted Demacia soldiers wearing full armor, swords at their waists, and crossbows on their backs passed quickly.

"Suddenly——!" In a secret place in the forest on both sides of the road that no one could see, a head held a clump of branches on its head and quietly poked out from the dense trees. The moment it saw the person, it quickly

He got in and waited for a long time, until the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, and then he poked his head out again, exposed his eyes, and looked around cautiously.

The person squatting in the bushes was Julian, and it had been almost three days since he killed the Les Ranger scout team that was tracking him in the canyon.

In the past three days, he carefully concealed himself while heading south.

During this period, he avoided the four or five scout teams that came to support him, which made Julian secretly frightened and secretly grateful at the same time. He was glad that he did not continue heading north in the hope of returning to the land of Freljord.

Noxus, according to the news he once boldly approached a scout team stationed at night, without any delay of his own, Tyrone spent less than two days heading eastward and passing through the Demacians.

The Great Wall of Forbidden Demonic Stone, and his concealment ability, allowed the Demacians to not discover him until he was about to cross the defense line. Although they immediately dispatched manpower, it was already too late. The Demacians' arrangement not only did

The futility of his efforts allowed him to effortlessly kill three groups of pursuing elite Demacian warriors under the angry orders of the defensive line commander, including two officers from the Demacian Fearless Vanguard Corps.

He really stole the show and was extremely arrogant.

Julian clicked his tongue in envy. Although he was still very angry at Tai Lung's behavior, he also knew that if he took him with him, it would be almost impossible for Julian to break through the Forbidden Demon Stone defense line based on his condition at the time. But now, he

Although he was still hiding, fortunately, he saw some hope. In the past few days, his high concentration and continuous fatigue also made him feel his progress, whether it was the scouting technique, the assassin's way, or

Or the practice of elemental energy, there have been varying degrees of progress, and these improvements are even much greater than his progress in more than a year.

This also made him understand why Tai Lung, who looked not much older than him, was so powerful. It was all a result of a little savings, mission after mission, and battle after battle.

Thinking of this, Julian suddenly felt that he was not very angry at him anymore.

Although he "abandoned" himself on this mission, many of the things he handed over to him over the past year have been very useful. Simple, simple, and practical, I believe he will have experienced more under that ruthless middle-aged man.

Bar!

Julian's mind wandered away as he thought about it, and he couldn't help but think of the red-haired woman Caterina.

She seems to be about the same age as herself, but she is much more powerful than herself. So has she also experienced so many battles? She looks thin and weak, maybe not as heavy as herself, why do she have to fight so hard?

I remember when we first met, she was covered in bloodstains, her eyes were scratched by a sharp knife, and she was almost blind. She could obviously be like her sister Cassiopeia, dressed as a lady, well-dressed, with a charming smile and a charming walk.

Gu Panshenghui can live the life of a noble lady, like the noble ladies he saw in Trevel, going out hunting every day, or going shopping to buy clothes, which is so uncomfortable.

Why choose this path?

As I was thinking about Julian, I couldn't help but think about Riven, who didn't know where she was at this moment. Why was she so determined to join the army?

She would also like beautiful clothes, and she would also like to play house games with her, but why did she suddenly change? She resolutely took off the new clothes sewn by her mother, and ruthlessly rejected her own.

Good intentions, just to become a soldier like her biological father?

But doesn’t he, she, she know what kind of bumpy road such a choice will lead to? Many people will die, and even they themselves may die, and why do those people they kill?

What about choosing to become a soldier?

Julian thought for a long time and couldn't figure it out. He wanted to use himself as a reference, but he was a little disappointed to find that if he could be with the person he liked, then he would rather never be a soldier or become a decisive killer.

Assassin, if he could be with her for the rest of his life, he would rather time stay before he was twelve years old.

"Alas..." Julian sighed dejectedly, and a thought came to his mind. How wonderful it would be if there were no wars on the mainland!

How great it would be if everyone could live together!

How wonderful it would be if Valoran could always be peaceful!

Thinking of this, Julian couldn't help but smile a little self-deprecatingly. He was just a soldier. He didn't know what would happen tomorrow, so how could he care about the future of others? It was better to find a way to fish in troubled waters and escape!

Thinking of this, Julian put away his chaotic thoughts, carefully poked his head out, and checked around for a moment. Seeing no one, he quickly got out of the bushes, took two steps on the galloping road wide for two people, and stepped on the horse's hooves.

Traces, the body quickly passed through the trees on the opposite side, and lay in ambush.

This is not the first time he has done this in the past few days, nor is it the first time he has encountered Demacian soldiers.

As he went further south, he encountered Demacians more and more often. He often saw Demacian scouts from a distance. Before they left the country, they began to search and investigate.

Julian was shocked and confused, wondering whether these people were trying to capture him or to reinforce the war on the front line.

However, he carefully recalled his walking route. From the moment he left the canyon, he did not go south immediately. Instead, he first walked west for an hour and then south. He felt uncomfortable in the middle.

When it was safe, I even walked westward in the dark for an hour or two, and then continued southward. I had tried to reduce the traces of my progress as much as possible along the way.

In general, I may not know which direction I will go in the next moment. I can only rely on the rough map in my memory, corresponding to the direction and terrain, to determine my location. But luckily,

He really didn't lose his way and walked out of the mountains smoothly.

But at this time, the test really came.

Even though he knew that this was Demacian territory, and even though he knew that there was a war at this time, Julian did not expect that since leaving the mountain, he would encounter so many Demacian soldiers along the way.

There were no large groups of troops, but a continuous stream of Demacian soldiers, either in small groups of a dozen people or in squadrons of more than a hundred people, were walking on the road, and their destinations were all to the east.

This made Julian couldn't help but secretly guess that maybe the war between the two countries had really reached a critical moment, and this battlefield was most likely around the Green Teeth Peak area.

Green Teeth Peak consists of two peaks, the upper and lower peaks, with many small peaks, valleys, and steep peaks in between. It is divided by three rivers, the upper, middle and lower rivers, but it cannot hide its importance to the Demacians.

Because it is the entrance and exit for the Demacians to move eastward, it is the natural barrier for the Demacians to defend against foreign enemies, and it has been a nightmare for the Noxians for decades.

The expansion of the Noxus Empire started from the Nok Dron Plains. The Noxians went all the way north and broke through the Immortal Fortress. Then, using the Immortal Fortress as the base, they marched eastward and northward, southward and westward. They were almost invincible along the way.

,until I met the Demacians.

After that, no matter how much progress the empire's troops made in other directions, facing the Demacians to the west, they encountered unprecedented resistance. This resistance prevented the empire from breaking through for decades, and the army was imprisoned.

It is firmly blocked to the east of the defense line of the Forbidden Demon Stone Great Wall at Green Teeth Peak.

Although the Demacian army did not use magic, the Demacians used armor, weapons, birds and horses that were much more sophisticated than the Noxians to resist the Noxian attack.

And the key is the Great Wall of Forbidden Demon Stone.

This unique stone of Demacia has created a peaceful and beautiful hometown for the Demacians, but it has also restricted their ambitions. Countless Demacians have never walked out of the Forbidden Stone defense line in their entire lives.

Countless Demacia soldiers never planted their battle flags on the outside soil throughout their lives.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

No one knows, but in the eyes of Demacians, the fact that the invincible Noxians have been unable to break through this wall for decades is the best explanation.

And today, or rather this war, is the best opportunity for us, Great Noxus, to destroy Demacia.

Standing in the barracks, looking at the soldiers lined up on the left and right, Villar was filled with pride for a moment. He turned his head slightly and asked the deputy standing behind him: "Where are your Excellencies from the Arcane Fist now?"

"General, according to the scout report, Lord Marimus and the thirteen mages accompanying him have already followed the path to the west of the Villar Valley and joined the battle group led by Sergeant Major Catalina. They are only waiting for the general's order. Immediately

Take action."

Villar nodded. He had a headache at first when the daughter of the Ducao family left her father and came to his service. He also doubted whether this young daughter of a colleague could shoulder her responsibilities, but

Unexpectedly, during the more than a year since she joined the legion, she would definitely charge in every war.

In front of her, relying on her extremely fast speed, unparalleled agility, and accurate blade martial arts, a pair of daggers quickly became famous on the battlefield. Villar also did not hesitate to promote her position, allowing her to quickly rise from a fledgling

The assassin became a sergeant major who can now lead an elite army.

And what Villar admires about her is that she has no fear in every war no matter the number of enemies, and she can complete some secret and important tasks quickly and neatly. Now it has become one of his trump cards, so here

In the most important war, she was assigned to a key position in the hope that she could withstand the pressure and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at the critical moment.
