The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 140 The Pale Lady Eats Crows
The dim candlelight flickered.

In the dark corner where no one noticed, a slender pale figure appeared, and his dark eyes fell on Swain's scarlet left hand.

"Swain, your struggle is meaningless." A soft voice sounded.

As the words fell, the meeting hall seemed to be immersed in magical ripples. The leaders and generals of the battle groups present instantly fell into coma and fell to the ground along the tables and chairs.

"Struggle? What is struggle?" Swain spoke softly, his eyes cold.

"What I do is just to lead the empire back to its former glory."

"And you are the real struggle!"

Dark gray mist filled the meeting hall.

Swain stood up, his figure wearing an old coat standing like a white jade pillar holding up the sky.

The calm face under the thick gray hair seemed to have invisible magic power, making the surrounding space groan under pressure.

"Ha ha!"

There was a chuckle, and the pale lady turned her eyes to Tai Lung and Huo Jixing.

uh-huh!

When Huo Jixing saw the pale lady's lowered gaze, he groaned and his body trembled.

Immediately he chose to burn his energy and blood, the red-gold Nanli Fire rose, and pieces of flaming feathers emerged to form a flowing fire feather coat, covering his body.

Even so, he still felt like he was carrying a mountain on his back, making him breathless.

Such terrifying pressure definitely exceeds the limits of a hero!Huo Jixing thought secretly.

Tai Lung beside him was also a little embarrassed.

The silver-gray cloak glowed with brilliant runes, and seemed to be crumbling, resisting the pressure brought by the pale lady.

"With whom? You"

"Are they still Darius, Kled, Draven, Talon, and this little guy in front of me?" the pale lady's eyes wandered.

Every time a name was spoken, the air seemed to freeze.

The gray-white air flow was more like a waterfall, firmly pressing on Swain at the front.

"Or the devil Raum!"

Click!

Swain's eyes turned cold.

【Touch of Liberation】!
The scarlet light condensed on the right hand, dancing slenderly in the air like lightning, piercing the gray-white airflow, and fell towards the pale lady.

Buzz!Buzz!
The gray-white airflow condensed and turned into white shields, surrounding the pale lady's body, annihilating the incoming blood-red lightning.

"Do you think you have a chance to win?" Swain walked forward slowly.

The scarlet light beside him became more intense, like crows surrounding him, their sharp claws cutting through the air, reflecting the red light.

"Then I will disappoint you!"

"Disappointed? I hope to see a surprise!" The pale lady's tone was calm, but she could hear the innate majesty.

"You intend to have a glimpse of the darkness under the empire, but you don't know that curious people can sometimes be doomed."

Swain's eyes were dark when he heard this, and he spoke in a solemn voice: "The Empire is above all else!"

Rumble!
In an instant!

The scarlet light bloomed suddenly and broke through the dome of the meeting hall.

I don’t know when, under the blood-red sky, countless scavenging ravens crowded together, covering the sky and the earth.

As if they heard some order, they kept chirping happily, like a wave, pouring into the meeting hall.

"It's incredible, your strength has grown to this extent!" The pale lady looked at the group of eating crows with a surprised tone.

"I'm waiting for your surprise!"

puff!
A waterfall-like gray-white air flow washed through the space. The transparent magic ripples disappeared, and the petals danced and fell to the ground without a trace.

"I have a piece of news for you. Someone is targeting this little guy."

Swain slowly fell from mid-air, and the crimson light surrounding him gradually dimmed. His neatly styled gray hair was still spread around his shoulders without any stains.Inside the simple coat and spotless clothes, the scarlet left hand lay quietly.

Only those cold and dark eyes were filled with fluctuations.

"Clean up the meeting hall."

Swain looked at the place where the pale lady disappeared and breathed a sigh of relief.

Now is the wrong time, he doesn't want to fight these old guys hiding in the darkness of the empire yet.

Finally, he looked at Huo Jixing with dark eyes and thought secretly.

On the other side, Huo Jixing is also feeling very uncomfortable now.

Pingbai was hit by the aftermath of the fight between the two big guys, and he couldn't say anything.

Most importantly, the words of the pale lady before she left.

"Is someone targeting me?" Huo Jixing was filled with doubts.

He is just a newcomer to Noxus, and he has only been working for a few months.

Is it because of my protoss-like talent?
Huo Jixing suppressed his inner thoughts, glanced at the ruined meeting hall, and looked up at the transparent dome.

The blood-colored haze in the sky dissipated, and the warm sunshine fell.

Huo Jixing began to move the unconscious battle group leader and imperial general outside.

At the same time, he ordered the doctor to come over quickly.

It was also at this time that he realized that the fight between Swain and the Pale Lady had not attracted the attention of many Noxian soldiers in the camp.

Wait until everything is taken care of.

The tactical meeting was reconvened, and Swain personally determined the strategy.

All Noxian Chapters were unified and ordered to use the Chapter as a combat unit to comprehensively cleanse the Lokrond Plains and appease and win over the Noxian civilians who were held hostage by the rebels.

At the same time, Rocklund and many war groups also began top-down reviews to purge the spies buried by Black Rose.

Huo Jixing and Tai Long also became busy.

Although the secret mission has ended due to Swain's arrival, the reconstruction of the Reese Guard Secretariat requires the assistance of two people.

Woohoo!Woohoo!
A dull sound came from the sea level.

Huo Jixing stretched his body and looked at the Noxus ship that was gradually leaving, with curiosity in his eyes.

If he had time, he would still like to experience the scenery of Shurima continent.

After a recent period of fighting, without the secret support of the Black Rose, the rebels in the Lokronde Plains became completely scattered and were quickly suppressed.

Many workshops returned to Noxian hands and resumed work.

The Reiser Guard Secretariat has also been rebuilt, and is still hidden in Lok Lund in the form of a chamber of commerce.

"Sir, I have news about you. Orderly Officer Nasr wants to see you."

There was the voice of the soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps outside the door.

Huo Jixing opened the door and asked casually: "Master Tailong?"

"It seems that he has another mission and has left Rocklund." The soldiers of the Reese Guard Corps saluted and said, carefully looking at Huo Jixing in front of them out of the corner of their eyes.

The high command has been alarmed by the events in Loklund Plains.

Coupled with the rebellion of the person in charge of the Reiser Guard Secret Office, all the soldiers of the Reiser Guard Corps in the nearby area became cautious.

Not long after he came here, he felt the prosperity of Rocklund and the depth of the whirlpool, where many forces were mixed together.

Huo Jixing nodded, feeling a little hot in his heart when he thought of his previous agreement with the orderly officer Nasr.

Because the Reiser Guard Secretariat was newly built, he could not leave for a while.

So I kept backing away from the meeting I had arranged with the orderly officer Nasr.

It wasn't until the situation stabilized recently and the person in charge sent by the high command was about to be in place that he felt much more relaxed.

Seeing that the sky was almost dark, Huo Jixing went out and walked towards the orderly officer's castle.
