He hadn't felt this way for a long time.
Ever since he began to search for the remnants of the ancient kingdom on this continent, the beings who were once known as Celestial Warriors, but were now known as the Dark Ones, and began to eliminate them, his life became busier and busier. It was only in the past few years that he managed to settle down. This was because the battle between mortals was far more dangerous than the Dark Ones. Moreover, because of him, the Dark Ones who were still wreaking havoc had temporarily died.
"And this feeling …"
He clutched his throbbing chest as he thought of the person he would never forget. The person who killed the Star Spirit who occupied his body and soul and made the sky dim.
"Yatox."
He called out the name of the existence that he would never forget, because even now, he did not have the ability to replicate that moment. Even now, he did not know how he did it. He actually cut off that terrifying existence's arm, ended its life, and sealed it.
But now, that feeling had returned and he couldn't help but sigh — —
Mortals always felt that they could control the existence that could give them extraordinary power, but they didn't know how arrogant such behavior was. Just like himself in the past, he felt that the power of the Star Spirit could save him, and he could also control that powerful power. But the result was self-evident. He was driven to the corner of his heart and the Star Spirit, who was a war god, was directly killed by the devil.
There was no doubt that the people he entrusted to him were either tempted by Yatoku's power, or they were killed for Yatoku's power. That was why Yatoku was able to reappear in such a short time.
Therefore, although Yatoku's escape did not surprise him, the fact that it was so close made him sad for a while. This was the deep-rooted bad habit of mortals. Even Yatoku himself had only understood this truth after experiencing countless hardships. And it was clear that the power he gained would allow him to see more of these mistakes and stand up again and again to fight side by side with those who dared to resist. He would also encourage those who dared to resist and let them understand the true meaning of war.
That was, regardless of whether one could obtain rewards or victory, one must face the battle bravely and understand what one was fighting for and what the meaning of the battle was.
"Looks like the flames of war are about to be reignited."
After turning off the bread oven, Atris, the current Hanson, took out some bread from the oven and used it as his own rations. The rest of the bread was wrapped up separately, intending to give to the poor families due to the war on the road. Even though he knew that as long as the Noxus Empire didn't stop their war, this place would never be at peace.
But he didn't have any other choice. If he were to face the Dark Ones, then he would have to watch the war spread. If he were to join the Humans, then although he could easily kill the Noxus people, it wasn't realistic. This was because in his opinion, the Noxus people were much more open-minded than the Kings. Although they were more cruel, the residents of the small countries that joined the alliance lived a better life.
Apart from the fact that each family had to have a man join the army.
But this wasn't that unacceptable, because in the areas under the control of the Noxus people, the whole family had to go to the battlefield. This was so ironic that he couldn't laugh. The so-called Kings of Shurima weren't as friendly to their own people and compatriots as the cruel Noxus people.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. Ever since he obtained this power, others always thought that he could solve all problems, but he knew that he could only solve a part of the enemies in the real world. He could only encourage people to fight in their hearts, but he couldn't help them defeat the cowardice and fear in their hearts, as well as the selfish greed and tyranny in their hearts.
Picking up his spear and shield, Atris didn't fly directly as usual. Instead, he slowly walked along the mountain path towards the nearest village. While he began to gather information and search for traces of Yatokus, Li Ke also encountered the Noxus people who came to intercept the Demacians.
"They're here. Don't be impulsive. I know you can kill them all, but if you do, you won't be able to move an inch around here."
Sarah looked at the ships of the Noxus people that were gradually approaching. She slowly reduced the speed of her ship and used her binoculars to observe the cannons on the ships. If the other party intended to attack, she would immediately prepare to escape. She also didn't forget to remind Li Ke not to release his killing intent and cause a lot of trouble.
She wasn't a fool. When Li Ke mentioned the Noxus people, the obvious change in his expression betrayed some of his past experiences. According to her observation, this experience wasn't a good one.
"I know. In fact, I know their strength better than you do."
Li Ke clenched his fist and looked at his right hand. The scar that he deliberately left behind, the mark of the slave, was still there. Although he had long removed it, the hatred in his heart caused the mark on his hand to change. Every time his heart overflowed with anger towards the Noxus people, the mark of the slave would appear on his right hand. After his anger subsided, the mark would slowly disappear.
"That's good."
Sarah breathed a sigh of relief. Li Ke had always been a man of his word. She also received a second piece of good news. The Noxus people didn't intend to attack them. Instead, they signaled for them to stop and allow them to stop for inspection.
Very soon, the rough and steel-like battleships of the Noxus people arrived next to the merchant ship. Youmi was so scared that it hid in Sarah's chest. Sarah didn't have the time to teach it a lesson. In fact, even Drizzt and Graves, who were always arguing with their partners all day, calmed down. They quietly watched as the armored Noxus people sailed over and boarded the merchant ship.
Li Ke naturally did the same. He was the one who understood the Noxus the most, so he simply stood there and watched as the Noxus people boarded the merchant ship.
