Mournful cries and wails echoed in the boundless night. The sounds of killing never stopped. In this country shrouded in yellow sand, the villagers were falling under the Invaders' butcher's knives. Even though the soldiers were fighting bravely, their resistance was futile. The Invaders were all clad in sturdy full-body armor. Even the most ordinary soldiers weren't covered in armor.
This was a Noxus people's army, a Noxus people who were in the midst of a war of conquest. Judging from the fading sounds of killing, it was only a matter of time before they won. After the commander of this army killed the village leader, he placed his battle axe on the soft sand and watched how his men slaughtered the defenseless villagers.
Every time this happened, he would feel incomparably refreshed. Blood and slaughter were what he loved. It was due to his fanaticism that he became a general at a young age.
Of course, even though he had a certain amount of luck, he wouldn't have been able to hold on to his position if he didn't have strong abilities. However, just as he was admiring this hellish scene, a soldier in the same full body armor ran over and disrupted his interest.
"General! Urgent battle report! "
The soldier looked at his commanding officer fearfully and handed him a letter. When he opened the letter, the contempt in his eyes disappeared instantly. This was because there was a rose border on the side of the envelope. He knitted his brows and looked around. Then, he nodded to his adjutant and left the battlefield with the letter. The soldier with the hiccup stayed by his adjutant's side. He didn't ask anything and didn't show any curiosity.
He left the frontline quickly and arrived at a small house that had been cleaned. He read the letter with the help of the oil lamp of a dead little girl. When he took the lamp out of the little girl's hand, although he found that the little girl's appearance wasn't bad, he only regretted that he couldn't chop off her head to preserve it. Then, he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he focused all his attention on the letter with the rose border and lavender leaves.
'Dear Valois, after this mission is over, immediately put down all your military affairs and pursue a human male named Li Ke. His target will be the Dark Kin in that land. The detailed information and transfer order will be completed the next day. Remember, don't underestimate him. You must mobilize the entire army. In addition, the helpers and equipment for you will arrive at dawn next month. Before they arrive, you just need to track them. — -Your dear, Raven.
The content of the letter was short and the handwriting was neat. One could tell at a glance that this letter was from a well-educated lady. However, this letter felt as heavy as a mountain to the general. He put down the letter in silence and after making sure that he had memorized it, he lit it up by the oil lamp. After the letter and envelope turned into ashes, he threw the oil lamp on the little girl's body and set the house ablaze.
He walked out of the thatched house and looked at his subordinates who had taken off their armor and were having fun with the little girl. He couldn't help but lick his lips.
That little girl died too early.
He couldn't help but think for a moment. Then, he walked towards his adjutant and gave his order.
"Everyone, gather!"
Because of his order, even though his soldiers were a little unhappy that their leader had interrupted their fun, they quickly gathered and prepared to obey his next order. However, there were many others who also gathered. Even though they and Li Ke didn't know about this, the Noxus army had been completely mobilized on this vast land. They were preparing to search for that man named Li Ke according to their commander's orders.
At this moment, the few ships that Li Ke had crippled had only returned to port for less than a day.
Li Ke wasn't aware of this. He didn't know that tens of thousands of Noxus soldiers were searching for him under the orders of someone named Raven. Because the voyage was boring, he had already played cards with everyone on this ship and lost miserably.
"Eh, I say, did you cheat?"
Looking at Drizzt who had won against him, Li Ke couldn't help but raise his brows because he had almost lost all of his chocolate. Drizzt, who had a good hand, displayed a speechless expression. He covered his face with his hand and placed a chocolate chip into his mouth.
"Oh, my God, if I have to cheat even when gambling on chocolate, then wouldn't I be a rotten person to the core?"
He indeed didn't cheat, he just shuffled the good cards to himself.
"I think it's because your card skills are too lousy."
Sarah also stabbed Li Ke in the heart. She fed the last few chocolate coins in front of her to Youmi, who had already lost everything. Youmi was so happy that she jumped up.
"Alright then."
Li Ke couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at the 'hero' whom he had ignored all this time and only recognized after the hero had displayed his card magic in front of him. Then, there was the big idiot who was holding onto a golden foil made of pure gold and giggling like a maniac, nicknamed 'Real Man'. He didn't take this matter to heart.
Yes, he finally recognized these two heroes. Previously, he thought that they were just two unlucky sailors. Their appearance and clothes didn't look like those in League of Legends, which was why he didn't pay much attention to them. Until now, he recalled that they were two popular heroes. Then, he paid more attention to them and discovered that they were indeed interesting.
One loved thrills to the point that he didn't care about his life, while the other was always thinking about how to act cool and attract the attention of girls. Moreover, they were equally greedy, cowardly, and daring.
However, just when he was about to return to his room to get some candy and continue their gambling, several ships suddenly appeared on the distant sea. Moreover, all of them were decorated with patterns of sea beasts. Moreover, there were large shadows surrounding these ships. With a single glance, one could tell that they weren't anything good.
"Baru's ships?"
Sarah, who had also noticed the same thing, asked in confusion.
