However, both of them didn't expect that they would meet again so soon. In just three days, they had advanced to the area near Navoli and met each other in the camp.
At this moment, Queretta's right arm was wrapped in bandages. It was a wound left by an Ionian warrior. However, the Ionian warrior who dared to resist was already dead. Even though the Ionian warrior was strong and proficient in magic and was able to stop their entire supply convoy, their rations were saved under Queretta's fearless attacks. The Ionian warrior also left a deep wound on Queretta's arm and was beheaded by Queretta.
When Queretta met Delius, he was exchanging information with his younger brother, De Levin. After all, they had broken through the gates of Navoli and they had enough reasons to boast and entertain themselves. But after noticing Queretta's arrival, De Levin tactfully went to play with her while Delius silently followed Queretta to another part of the battlefield.
But this place wasn't a good place either. Delius instinctively wanted to change their destination after discovering the direction they were heading in. But Queretta had already ridden towards the dead village. What entered Queretta's eyes were corpses in agony and green poisonous gas that emitted a pungent smell. She wasn't unfamiliar with this vicious weapon because it was the new weapon of the Noxus people. But what made her speechless was that when did Delius's group start using this dishonorable weapon?
She got off the horse and walked into the village. What she saw was not the warriors with swords and sabers, but the frightened farmers and elders, as well as the children who had painful expressions and were being protected by their families. She even saw some inverted water tanks and the like. It was obvious that someone had tried to survive when Noxus' poisonous gas hit this place. But Queretta could only shake her head helplessly because the poisonous gas would contaminate the soil. Even if they managed to avoid the first wave of attack, the poisonous gas would spread rapidly in the soil.
Furthermore …
She looked at the opened water jar, as well as the two different little hands sticking out of the water jar. She silently squatted down, using her fingertips to pick up a farmer's golden pocket watch. Looking at the patterns on the watch, she was silent, not daring to open this broken pocket watch. At that moment, she wondered if there was a portrait of the person he loved inside.
"Is this done by our people?"
Her tone was low, and Delius immediately answered.
"There is an Alchemist named Zu An in one of Amystan's groups."
He felt that Curieta was getting further and further away from him, and it was because of the dead, so he was even more confused. They had been fighting since they were young. Querieta would not be shaken by such a thing.
"Mistan, you are indeed a whore who kills for pleasure."
Quarrieta gripped the pocket watch tightly and Delius couldn't help but ask.
"We have seen a lot of dead people, haven't we?"
They had been killing since they were young. Although the number of dead people they saw was less than the number of living people, it was definitely not something a small town or village could compare to.
"I have never seen anything like this."
Sending their own children to the battlefield and slaughtering the enemy's children and civilians. This was the Noxus that she served? This was the country that her children were going to be born in. Then, would one day in the future, her children would also die silently on the battlefield at the same age as these children, and before they died, they wouldn't even be hugged by their mothers and fathers? Just thinking about such a scene made her feel despair, but she had to admit that she was also one of the accomplices.
"We have been in Noxus for so many years, and we know how cruel war is, but this …"
Noxus usually wouldn't commit such a massacre in conquered areas because Noxus was a complicated country. In this world, there were all kinds of races and Noxus had a large number of immigrants. In such a country, anyone in this world could be a part of it. If one committed a massacre, it would undoubtedly weaken one's own strength. Therefore, when one had absolute confidence, these people wouldn't die. Although there was a high chance that they would become slaves, no matter how she thought about it, it was still better than having their whole family poisoned to death, right?
She knew how powerful these poisons were. As long as one's skin was stained with a little bit of it, it would be like splashing sulfuric acid on one's body, and the pain would be continuous until one died. She was lucky enough to see one of her own fall victim to the poison once. That tough guy, who she admired, was a soldier with a strong will, but when his arm was contaminated with the poison, he committed suicide on the spot because of the pain.
However, such disgraceful words couldn't be heard by others, so Delius immediately reminded Quarrieta when he heard the sound of galloping horses.
"He's here."
"He's the one who should see this scene the most."
With these words, the general, who was indebted to them for recognizing their worth, came over with his troops. Looking at the couple, he laughed from the bottom of his heart.
"The Hand of Noxus and his lover, hello."
He was the military officer who was assassinated by the young De Levin. He was also the one who adopted them and allowed them to grow up healthily in Noxus. Now, he was their immediate superior, and in their hearts, he was no different from their father. After all, their fathers didn't fulfill their responsibilities, but this man who wasn't their father fulfilled his responsibilities as a father and took good care of them.
However, the conversation that followed wasn't pleasant. Quarrieta and Delius parted on bad terms. When they parted this time, Quarrieta's arm was chopped off by Delius because she was poisoned by the alchemy poison. Since then, their relationship had become estranged.
The reason was simple. The reason why Quarrieta was injured by the alchemy poison was because the alchemy poison was thrown into the battlefield when they attacked Navoli because the situation was too unfavorable for them. Although Quarrieta wasn't directly hit, her arm was stained by a bucket of alchemy poison, which made her want to commit suicide due to the pain.
However, Delius stopped her and ordered the doctor to chop off her right arm. And …
He had no complaints about his superior's decision to throw the alchemy poison, even though he was also in the area attacked by the alchemy poison. He witnessed the death of countless comrades and the despair of being betrayed. Because in his eyes, as long as he could win, then any method was reasonable. However, Quarrieta didn't think so. She was completely disappointed in this country.
Therefore, their relationship was completely over.
