December 4th——

"Boom!"

It sounded with a sound like thunder.

On the stone road to Drekan, a group of soldiers rode forward.

Drakan is a city in the Noxian Empire.

The Noxus Empire, which has been fighting for many years but rarely governed, has these main cities in its territory -

The most notable one is, of course, the Immortal Fortress, the capital of the Noxus Empire.

And secondly, there is Drakan, which is close to the Immortal Fortress.

Then there is the imperial port city of Besilico.

Next, there is Horatio in the north of the Immortal Fortress.

In addition to the cities on Valoran, even the black market Bergun, a port as far away as Shurima, is the main city in Noxus.

Today, in a manor outside the city of Dreikan, Viscount Bokeran has received the news.

He appeared outside the manor with his personal guards, neatly dressed, and waited honestly for their arrival.

And from the morning to the afternoon, it was not until he heard the rapid sound of horse hooves that Viscount Bokeran saw an imperial army coming from the capital from the plain in the distance.

There were fourteen people in total. Horse hooves stepped on the stone road, and a group of soldiers wearing heavy steel armor with small bucklers and hatchets placed on both sides of their legs rushed forward.

They quickly surrounded Viscount Pokeran's manor.

"Viscount Bokeran! The Marquis orders you to go to the Immortal Fortress quickly. He has something important to ask you!"

A tall, fully-armed Noxian soldier dismounted and walked menacingly in front of Viscount Bokeran.

"Um...it's you? Geima!" Viscount Bokeran immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person coming. The person coming was someone he knew.

The strong general walked up to Viscount Bokeran, leaned down, and whispered in his ear: "Levin, you are in trouble."

"But I didn't do anything!"

"It's useless for you to tell me. You have to tell the Marquis."

"Damn it, you gotta tell me what happened..."

Geima paused and said: "You leaked the news. There are rumors in the capital that you are going to lead people to attack Piltover without permission, but you know...people who disobey the state's orders and act without authorization. ..go to court martial.”

"We are already in dire straits now. The battle in the east has been retreating steadily. We cannot start another war now."

"I didn't go to fight! I just went to Piltover to meet an old friend of mine. I went to meet the head of the Philos family!"

Viscount Bokeran's fat face flashed with panic, and he immediately spoke loudly.

Disobeying imperial orders?

He wouldn't dare!

He just led a team to support Stevan, and then...got what he wanted from Stevan.

Powerful scientific weapon!!!

After dedicating himself to the empire, Levin might get better treatment!

He never thought about going against the will of the empire, no!

He wouldn't dare!

Looking at the frightened Levin, Gemma shook his head and said to him: "I said, go talk to the Marquis about your words. It's useless to talk to me. And now, Levin ,let's go."

"Before tomorrow morning, we have to rush to the capital and have a good rest. You can face the Marquis in a good state of mind."

Seeing Gemma's cold face, Levin Bocklang took a deep breath. His fat body, which had not been in battle for many years, struggled to get on the horse. He swallowed his saliva. Levin didn't know whether his trip was a blessing or a curse. .

"Walk!"

Gemma waved his hand, and the soldiers just stopped, but immediately returned.

But none of the other thirteen soldiers complained.

——————

Early the next morning.

Levin Bockron didn't sleep last night. Although he was extremely tired after the long journey on horseback, Levin was not sleepy when faced with an unexpected incident.

He can't sleep!

How could he possibly sleep?

"Levin, let's go."

Gemma called him near noon, and Levin nodded.

As he said...his trip was not to attack Piltover, but to be invited by Stevan, the nobleman of Piltover.

Moreover, Levin's trip is for the empire, so that the soldiers of the empire can have better weapons!

Keeping thinking like this, Levin followed Geima into the deep darkness, but the vast and huge stone city wall. After actually entering the center of the capital, Levin's originally nervous heart slowly calmed down.

He looked at everything in front of him. This was a style that he was very familiar with.

The street in front of you is narrow and dark, and the houses are all made of black stone bricks in a solemn and solemn style.

This allowed Levine to regain his former self.

Although after inheriting the position of Viscount in his family, Levin has not shed blood for the empire for many years and has not been on the battlefield for a long time.

But before becoming a Viscount, he was also a heroic Noxian soldier. He also personally slaughtered the heads of his enemies. The empire could have such a huge territory because of Levin's contribution.

But now, back in the capital of the empire, Levin is stepping on black stone bricks, and the buildings next to him are also made of dark stone bricks.

The power and belief conveyed by these huge stones made Levin suddenly regain his former self.

"Are you calmed down now?"

"Well, I didn't make a mistake. I am here for the empire. Piltover has what we need."

Walking in the capital city, Levin and Gemma walked towards the alley. Gemma said that this would make it easier for the two of them to chat.

Walking up the stone steps, Levin looked up and looked into the distance. He saw the tall black buildings that the empire was famous for.

"The Hex Phone is really powerful, but I heard it was Zaun's invention."

"No, Gemma, you don't understand. Because of the Myrdalda family, I got to know Stevan, and I learned some things from him."

"What's the matter?" Gemma asked softly.

"Hex!"

"But isn't this the same thing as the Hex phone we just talked about?"

After walking through the narrow streets and walking up little by little, Gemma and Levin greeted the passing soldiers and proved their identities.

Gemma and Levine go deeper and deeper.

There are fewer and fewer people there, but that's not surprising.

There are too many alleys in the capital, which are narrow and small, and the place they are now in is no longer a place where civilians can come.

When civilians come here, they will be beheaded!

"You don't know, Mrs. Piltover... They use technology to seem to have mastered immortality!"

"What?!" Gemma looked at Levin in surprise, "Do you know what you are talking about now?"

"Stevan told me that his sister is now eternally young. As long as she can ensure energy, she can live forever. But during a recent mission...she had an accident, so Stevan hopes that I

If you can go to Zaun and help him retrieve his sister's body, the reward will be all the knowledge about Hex."

"As for me, I only need to bring two soldiers and identify myself as Noxian, and those Zaun people will kneel on the ground and offer Sister Stevan's body."

Levin said seriously.

The prestige of Noxus has spread throughout the world. Although the empire is now facing difficulties and the war lines have been stretched, a small city-state will never dare to resist the empire. It does not dare to resist him as an imperial viscount.

Levin then said to Gemma: "So, Gemma, if I can integrate those things, study them, and then hand them over to the emperor... I think, I, I can stand firm!"

Gemma looked at Levin and said after a moment: "I understand... You ran to Drekan to avoid him, and you are going to Piltover to confront him?"

Gemma continued: "Levin, listen to my advice, you shouldn't mess with him."

"Gemma, it's not that I want to mess with him, but now he doesn't want to make things easier for me!"

"I was born with noble blood, and I should be a leader, but what about him? He wanted to change everything. He even killed his parents with his own hands!"

"That man is a lunatic. Have you forgotten what he said in the Imperial Plaza? He actually said that on the battlefield, a soldier and a noble have the same status."

"Damn, how can that be the same?"

Gemma nodded and said: "But even if you are favored by the emperor, you can't fight against him."

Levin immediately said: "I'm not crazy, Gemma, I didn't want to really fight, I didn't want to go against him, I knew I was not his opponent. I just wanted to please the emperor, so that when he comes back, he

You can’t attack me directly either.”
