That was because the deaths of the two wyverns had far exceeded the expectations of these Demacians. This was especially so for the old demon hunter. His mouth was agape as he watched the entire scene unfold. He could not believe the scene before his eyes. After all, Li Ke's attack was so clean and efficient. The two wyverns looked as if they did not have the slightest bit of resistance, and were easily killed by him.
Is our sacrifice really meaningful?
This thought popped up in his mind. The crossbows that they used to deal with wyverns couldn't cause too much damage. Even the special heavy crossbows that were specially designed to kill wyverns could only pierce through their scales and couldn't cause too much damage to them. Their soldiers were also killed without the slightest resistance. They couldn't even stop the wyverns for a while.
If this man were to attack directly …
When the old Demon Hunter thought of this, he shook his head and threw away the ridiculous thought. Then, he turned to the young demon hunter beside him who had the same expression as him and reprimanded the soldiers in a low voice.
"We are Demacians. Shouldn't we protect our homeland and let others protect us instead?!"
If even the old demon hunter had such thoughts, how could the other soldiers not have the same thoughts? If they had caused effective damage to the wyverns, they wouldn't be as dejected as they were now and doubt if their efforts were of any use. But it was a pity that the world was so cruel. There was an absolute gap between people.
Looking at the man who carried the ominous greatsword on his back, the old demon hunter knew that the thing that he hated was about to happen again. But there was no other choice. This was also for Demacia …
But as the old demon hunter thought of this, the general with burns on his face and a sharp scratch on his armor walked out of the bunker with the support of two guards. He raised his arm weakly and let out a voice that echoed throughout the entire fortress.
"Cheers for our brave warrior, soldiers of Demacia! Cheers for his valiant stance! "
Following his command, the remaining soldiers in the fortress raised their weapons and cheered. Li Ke could only smile at the cheering crowd. Then, under the cheers of the crowd, he and the old demon hunter walked toward the general. But as soon as Rhode approached, he saw an unnatural twist on the general's leg. It was apparent that his leg was also injured. And judging from the scratch marks on his armor, perhaps he had also faced the two wyverns head-on like Rhode.
"I originally wanted to kill those two bastards like you did, but unfortunately, I don't have your strength … … I'm sorry for my rudeness to you these past two days, but please allow me, Collins Andorra, to have the opportunity to make up for my rudeness during this time."
The general who needed someone to support him had a friendly smile on his face, along with a hint of sadness. His attitude towards Li Ke was actually normal. After all, Li Ke had 'easily' dealt with the two wyverns that they couldn't do anything to. Towards such a powerful person who was willing to abide by the rules of ordinary people, the general felt that it was normal. Unless there was something wrong with his head, no one would be rude to him.
But it was obvious that a general who could manage a fortress at the border was not a person who was mentally ill at all.
"Oh, no. No matter how harsh a person is, they wouldn't mind being loyal to their duty. Besides, the scenery here is great, and I'm very happy here."
Li Ke didn't care about such things. He used the social language that he had learned to reply to the general, and it surprised the general a little. Because Li Ke's meaning was obvious. He didn't care about being monitored and was still willing to listen to the general's arrangements. He just wanted to go out for a stroll, that's all.
However, this wasn't something a farmer or a slave from Noxus would say. It was obvious that he was well-educated and often mingled in the upper echelons of society. After all, although this kind of language technique seemed simple and smart people could understand it, the 'rules' within were not something that ordinary people could easily understand. In other words, the identity of this young man with extraordinary strength was definitely not that simple. Moreover, in terms of language, he had a slight Noxus people's accent.
"Thank you for your understanding …"
The general made a slight aristocratic salute to test the waters. Li Ke also used the somewhat unfamiliar Demacian aristocratic salute that he had learned during his time as a slave to return the salute. However, this only made the general even more surprised. Even in Demacia, there were very few families who would learn the etiquette of nobles from other countries. Only those families who were in charge of diplomatic affairs, as well as the true great nobles, would let their children learn the etiquette of other countries.
So who was this guy?
General Collins, who didn't know Li Ke's true identity, sighed slightly. After all, if Li Ke was really hostile, there was no way they could resist. Moreover, not only did the other party show a considerable degree of kindness, but he also confessed his identity in such a way.
"Now, please go to my room and wait for a moment. After all, I still need to deal with some matters here."
General Collins and the old demon-hunter looked at each other. Then, the old demon-hunter led Li Ke, who didn't know that he had been misunderstood, down the stairs. But what was interesting was that at this moment, loud bird cries sounded from the sky. When Li Ke lifted his head, the first thing he saw was the flash of silver-whitish armor in the sky. Then, he saw the main body of the bird cries.
What a majestic bird it was. They had slender, streamlined bodies, four sharp claws, and two huge wings connected to the front claws. Their heads were slightly flat. If it weren't for the sharp beaks and the typical bird face, perhaps Li Ke would have mistaken them for flattop brothers. Not only were there long feathers growing downwards on both sides of their heads, but there were also scales and spikes on their heads and backs that were very similar to dragons.
"These are the Dragon Knights of Demacia. They are the absolute trump card. Even dragons will have to suffer under their attacks. But it's a pity that they came too late this time. "
Upon seeing Li Ke's expression of interest, the old demon-hunter didn't intend to bring Li Ke down. Instead, he introduced the beautiful big birds and the knights on them.
However, there was one thing in his tone. There was a hint of sadness in his voice.
