The pirate who left wasn't an exception. Although that unlucky pirate encountered some terrible things, he was still lucky enough to leave. Although he didn't know if he could successfully reach the place he wanted to go, the matter of Birgivot had nothing to do with him. After all, compared to Birgivot, there was actually a place where people were also troubled, and this place was very fated with Li Ke.
Noxus.
A man wearing Noxus armor quickly walked in the fortress built of stone and placed a stack of letters on the desk of his commander. Then he stood there quietly, waiting for his commander's orders.
"What's the situation outside now?"
Delius didn't directly read the letter. Instead, he continued to look at the map in front of him, thinking about how to persuade His Majesty the King to defeat the natives entrenched here and truly expand the territory of the Empire to Freldrod.
"It's still snowing, General Delius. Another 20 soldiers suffered frostbite that made them unable to fight. The scouts sent out didn't find any traces of anyone, but they found some scouts who froze to death on the road. But when we arrived, they were being eaten by a group of bears."
Teleus knew that it was unwise to send out scouts in this weather, but he couldn't help but feel that the Freljords were united. Teleus couldn't help but think that the Freljords were loyal to him. Teleus knew that it was unwise to send out scouts in this weather, but he knew that the Freljords were united. For the sake of making Noxus stronger, for the sake of their own country, the scouts who had died were still fighting until the very last moment of their lives. Teleus really didn't want to let their efforts and sacrifices go to waste.
But …
His Majesty the King might not think so.
"Give the reward given to me by His Majesty the King to their loved ones. If anyone tries to stop me, tell them that I said, 'Because their lives and efforts allowed me to receive the reward from His Majesty the King, the reward given by His Majesty the King is theirs.' Also, give them my salary for this month. This is the last thing I can do for them. "
But the guards didn't move. Delius was a little puzzled at first, but he immediately remembered that he had spent all his rewards and salary last month. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed and spoke again.
"Open my chest. Although there isn't much money in it, there are still some cloth and silk. I still have to give my regards."
Only then did his bodyguard nod his head and leave the room silently. After pondering for a while, he helplessly sat down on his seat because no matter what strategy he came up with, it was useless. His Majesty the King had already sent a message in private, telling him not to make any more movements, especially those that would provoke Li Ke.
Of course, he knew this person. It was this person who defeated him once and captured his brothers. However, he strangely let him go, which he always remembered and regarded as a disgrace. Therefore, after he received information about Li Ke, he immediately told the intelligence personnel in his army that Li Ke wasn't a general of the Empire, but a fugitive.
His actions undoubtedly thwarted Lefran's plan, and he once again received a lot of disappointing news. His Majesty the King didn't give the order to pursue the traitor who abandoned Noxus's will, nor did he do anything. Instead, he repeatedly asked Lefran what he thought of the traitor, his likes and dislikes. This made Delius very confused, but since it was the King's order, he wouldn't go against it.
Even if the king asked him to delay his attack on Freljord because of Li Ke, it would still be the same for the warriors who had lost their lives. Before the King ordered him to retreat, he had already occupied an absolutely important military location, which happened to block the communication channel between the Winter's Claw and the Avarosa tribe. However, such an important place where countless Noxus warriors had lost their lives was easily reclaimed by the woman named Aichy because of the King's order.
"Immortality?"
Delius felt a wave of sorrow when he thought about the news that the Executioner's brother vaguely told him when he became the warden. Although he didn't oppose the ability of people to obtain a long lifespan, he also knew that short-term sacrifices were for greater benefits. However, he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. Was this really good? Was this really the will that he agreed with?
For the sake of one person's immortality, the efforts and lives of so many people would be wasted.
He clearly knew what it felt like to wear iron armor and a white cloak to ambush the enemy army in the snowy weather because he was the first to do so. He was also the first to discover that the soldiers lying beside him had unknowingly frozen to death. And when the enemy army arrived, he was also the first to rush forward.
But …
Obedience and loyalty were the most important principles of a warrior.
After going through his creed and Noxus' will in his heart, Delius opened his eyes and regained his vitality. But he didn't look at his map again. Instead, he looked at the letter that his brother De Levin sent him. Although this letter was disguised as a letter from his brother, it was obviously disguised wrongly. It was a thick letter that was thicker than his palm.
"Don't they know that De Levin basically doesn't send me letters? And there are so many of them at once. "
He was about to hand these letters over to the experts and let his soldiers examine them, but when he was about to do so, he realized that although this letter wasn't written by his brother, not only was the handwriting imitated perfectly, but it was also written by someone he was familiar with who imitated De Levin's dog-like handwriting. After all, among the people he knew, only her handwriting had a little hook, and at first glance, it looked so …
Confident.
"Quarrieta …"
Unconsciously reading the name of the woman who wrote this letter, Delius decided that even if the letter was poisoned, he would open it with his own hands. But after he opened the letter, nothing happened. Quarrieta's letter was really just a bunch of stuff. He laughed as he looked at the greeting letter that Curieta wrote by imitating Draven's intonation. Then, he shifted his gaze to the letter from Pirtwof that Curieta had asked him to 'take a good look at'. Then, he saw a sentence that made him frown.
"Economic foundation … determines … superstructure?"
He couldn't help but read it aloud.
At this time, Li Ke was on his way to the orphanage.
