The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 103 The Yalong Hound is in full swing
Light snow in the middle of winter.

The falling snowflakes are like feathers falling from the sky, decorating the castle in front of you.

The glazed tiles on the dome reflect the bright light and reflect the snowflakes.

Looking from a distance, the majestic castle in front of us blends luxury and elegance, highlighting the identity and outstanding status of the owner of the castle.

It is far from comparable to those mud wooden houses in the slums.

Huo Jixing looked at the leaving imperial guards and began to look at the blood token in his hand, with a somewhat surprised look on his face.

He did not expect that even in the Immortal Fortress, the bloody token given by Darius was extremely useful.

After he showed the blood token, he passed through the sentries in every area along the road very smoothly and arrived safely in front of Baron Calvin's mansion.

[Suzaku·Red Eyes and Fire Eyes]

The red-golden light filled his pupils. Huo Jixing looked at the castle in front of him and saw the mist and dusk clouds in the sky above.

"So many people?"

He looked surprised and looked at the many clouds in his field of vision, the number of which was about two hundred.

And judging from the color and size of the clouds, in addition to the servants, there are also many elite private soldiers of the nobles in the castle.

"who?"

Seeing Huo Jixing staying in place and not leaving for a long time, the armored noble private soldiers in front of the mansion shouted loudly.

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly, acting confused. He wanted to step forward to explain, but was stopped.

"Stop, this is Baron Calvin's private residence!"

The four noble private soldiers in front of the mansion looked at each other. Three of them stepped forward and drew out the sharp swords hanging from their waists, preparing to forcibly expel Huo Jixing.

"Do not approach without invitation. Please leave now."

Huo Jixing opened his arms to show that he was innocent, and also signaled the noble private soldiers not to approach him.

Perhaps it was Huo Jixing's show of weakness that made the three noble private soldiers in front of him push further.

They looked cold and walked over with a tough attitude.

As the aristocratic private soldiers of Baron Calvin, and while guarding the door of the mansion, they had already seen all kinds of different characters.

They vaguely guessed the identity of the person in front of them.

They should be legionnaires who have made military exploits. They will be commended and given the opportunity to enter the Immortal Fortress. Their future positions will be in the area of ​​city guards.

Otherwise, the patrolling imperial guards would not let him enter the noble area.

Just when they were about to tease Huo Jixing and teach him a lesson, a sudden change occurred in front of them.

Clang!

A sharp cold light suddenly appeared, stinging their eyes.

It made them instantly frightened and quickly retreated.

draw the knife.

step forward.

Swing a knife.

Consecutive movements, done in one go, without any sloppiness.

Huo Jixing's expression was cold, and he gently waved the long knife in his hand, and at lightning speed, he slashed across the necks of the three noble private soldiers.

"Uh-huh. Uh-huh!"

The noble private soldiers reached out to cover their necks and looked at the handsome young man in front of them in panic. Even at the extreme speed, the sharp blade did not cause them any pain.

But they clearly felt that death was coming.

Huo Jixing walked over casually and pushed down the body of the noble private soldier.

Then he looked at the last noble private soldier in front of the door whose expression suddenly changed. He swung his right foot and kicked up the fallen sword in front of him.

puff!
The sword flew into the air.

An arrow that seemed to be loose from a string accurately pierced the neck of the noble private soldier in front of the door, stopping his cry.

At the same time, he was nailed to the ornate iron door.

Huo Jixing looked at the castle under the wind and snow, his red eyes flashed, he chuckled softly, and pushed the door open.

Castle interior.

The corridor is paved with blue-gray stone slabs and extends in both directions. You can see greenery and some colorful flowers on the surrounding walls.

There is a rockery in the corner. Even if winter comes, there is still gurgling water, adding to the liveliness of the castle.

Huo Jixing walked along the corridor, his steps silent, as if he was about to sneak into the castle.

But after taking only a few steps, he stopped.

Tap!Tap!Tap!

Messy and dense footsteps sounded, coming from all directions, like a billowing wave of steel, surrounding the corridor area.

"Tsk, infiltration failed."

Huo Jixing shrugged his shoulders, moved his right foot back, grasped the handle of the knife with both hands, and pointed the sharp blade in front of his eyes, facing the surging noble private soldiers.

He was wearing dark gray steel armor and a linen cloak, and the sharp spear in his hand glowed with a pale cold light.

Their equipment far exceeds the limitations of noble private soldiers, and is comparable to the elite Noxian warbands.

There are also the crossbows seen in the slums before.

There were more than a hundred noble private soldiers in front of them. One of the three was holding a crossbow in a semicircle, aiming at Huo Jixing.

The remaining private soldiers of the nobility quickly completed their formation, holding on to their standard spears and shields.

"Well-trained, tall and strong, and there are so many!"

Huo Jixing looked at the private soldiers of the nobles who were still surging in front of him, his expression was extremely surprised, and then he seemed to have some realization.

He recalled that in his past life, after Swain and Darius established the Trifali Council, they began to suppress many nobles in the empire in an almost cruel way.

But a mere baron can raise hundreds of noble private soldiers.

What about the other great nobles in the empire?
There are also their fiefdoms, as well as completely independent taxation and trade. Does the empire exist because of them, or do they exist because of the empire?
Just when Huo Jixing's thoughts emerged.

The wave of steel in front of me began to surge, and the waves were like steel crossbow arrows with barbs.

According to the laws of the Noxus Empire, anyone who breaks into a noble's mansion without permission can be directly executed.

They fired their crossbows without hesitation, raised their spears, and killed Huo Jixing.Ding dong!Ding dong!Ding dong!

Under the scattered snowflakes, a brilliant sword light suddenly appeared.

Huo Jixing kicked the ground with his right foot, grasped the handle of the knife tightly with both hands, and swung the long knife with all his strength, displaying his Conquering Blade skills to the fullest.

For a moment, the bright and pale sword light moved around him, and no water could splash in.

The crossbow arrows approaching in front of him were like broken branches, falling all over the ground, paving a steel road.

Accompany Huo Jixing's progress.

The sword light became more and more fierce, and the scope gradually expanded, covering the noble private soldiers holding standard spears and shields in front of them.

puff!puff!puff!

The strong shield shattered and the sharp spear flew away.

Under the light snow in the cold winter, streaks of bright red blood decorate the noble castle, adding an icy color to the lush greenery.

Those who can become noble private soldiers are not too weak in skills.

But facing Huo Jixing, these noble private soldiers belonging to Baron Calvin were like weak children and no match at all.

If it weren't for the interference of crossbows and the restrictions of the military formation, they wouldn't be able to stop Huo Jixing's killing pace.

Clang!Clang!Clang!

The long knife clashed with the gun body.

While fighting for their lives, the private soldiers of the nobles looked fiercely, and even if the swords came to their bodies, they would thrust out the spears in their hands.

Facing the thrusting spear.

Huo Jixing half-bowed his waist backwards, placed his left hand on the ground, and held the long knife tightly with his right hand. He used his waist to exert force, and instantly burst out with tremendous strength.

Then the sharp blade knocked off the spear, cutting off the legs of the noble private soldier.

puff!

Miserable howls sounded, and red blood sprayed out.

Huo Jixing had no scruples, bathed in the overflowing blood, and immediately strode forward, with a wild attitude, repelling the military formation in front of him.

"This is what killing feels like!"

He looked at the private soldiers of the nobles who were afraid to step forward, enjoying the endless burning feeling in his body.

No amount of practice can compare to real killing.

Not only can you exercise your courage, but you can also improve your reaction speed and make timely adjustments to any changes in the battlefield.

Castle front yard.

The array of noble private soldiers belonging to Baron Calvin began to appear chaotic.

Huo Jixing stepped on his feet and struck repeatedly, smashing through the array of spears like breaking bamboo.

His figure bathed in blood, like a demon returning from hell, quickly rushed in front of the noble private soldiers holding crossbows behind him.

The disorganized crossbow could no longer cause trouble to Huo Jixing.

He looked at the panic-stricken noble private soldier who had abandoned his crossbow and held his sword, his eyes growing colder.

The killings in the slums before coming made him think that those noble private soldiers were just special cases.

But now the performance of these soldiers in front of me has completely confirmed my guess. The long-term prosperous life has made them lose the blood of soldiers.

In front of the gorgeous room at the back of the castle.

The old butler with gray temples took out a white handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then bent down and spoke softly.

"Lord Baron, something happened, someone broke into the castle."

Whoa!

Lights came on in the dim room, and a few clear voices of women complained.

"According to the laws of the empire, just deal with it directly." A lazy voice sounded, with a hint of annoyance in his tone.

"Well, the intruder is not weak." The old housekeeper thought about the killing scene he just saw and said in a thoughtful tone.

"Why don't you, Lord Baron, go to the secret room first?"

Crunch!

The exquisite wooden door opens from the inside, and a warm breath flows out of the room.

A middle-aged blond man wearing brocade clothes and a fox fur cloak appeared in front of the old housekeeper with a majestic expression.

I saw that he was tall and tall, with a handsome face and blue eyes that were like gems, glowing.

It can be seen that when he was young, he was definitely a suave and outstanding young man.

"Where are the Imperial Guards?"

Baron Calvin, who was in a distinguished position, heard the roaring sound of killing coming from the front yard. He raised his eyebrows and looked coldly.

"The summons has been sent and we are on the way!" the old housekeeper lowered his head and said.

"A bit slow!" Baron Calvin looked at the falling snowflakes outside, thoughtfully, and then walked out of the room.

"Then go and see who dares to ignore the laws of the empire and break into my castle!"

Whoa!Whoa!Whoa!

Behind Baron Calvin, a dog barked.

Two giant black dogs as big as calves ran out of the room, following closely behind Baron Calvin.

These two giant dogs have beautiful lines and strong muscles, covered with black scales, and their sharp claws are as sharp as razors.

Especially the tail with ferocious barbs, which just swings unintentionally, leaving tiny traces in the air.

The old butler kept up with Baron Calvin, but his eyes were carefully watching the two giant dogs beside him, for fear of biting him.

The dragon hound is rumored to be a distant relative of the dragon.

It lives in the north of the Noxus capital. It is extremely ferocious and is a pure carnivore.

Noxian nobles favored using them to guard homes or simply as expensive (but dangerous) pets.

Owning one or more Argonians is a symbol of wealth and power.
