The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 182 Fearless Vanguard Legion

No, what's the matter with you?

Huo Jixing looked at the four Fearless Pioneer Corps soldiers who were vaguely surrounding him, looking helpless.

He remembered the faint looks from the soldiers of the Kingdom of Demacia when he left Forsbarrow Town.

Let’s look at the current performance of the first four Fearless Vanguard Legion soldiers at this moment.

He knew in his heart that he had underestimated the Demacian people's love for Lux.

Perhaps he was aware of Huo Jixing's different situation now.

Lux, who was walking in front and chatting with Galen, came back with a smile on her flawless face.

"This is Diadoru."

Lux pointed to the sturdy swordsman with black hair and sharp eyes and a beard in front of her.

"In the recent war with the Noxus Empire, he single-handedly fought against a small group of Trifari legions and stood at the Gate of Sorrow for a whole day."

"This is Sebato from Gendele."

Then she smiled and pointed at the armored man with a sword and shield beside Diadoru.

"He once killed a terrifying giant maggot of the abyss. That monster wakes up once every hundred years and hunts wildly, but now it can never wake up again and is buried underground forever."

"Its tusk is hung in King Jarvan's palace hall, next to the newly hung skull of the dragon, which was a gift from Prince Jarvan and his mysterious warrior companions."

Lux turned around and patted the only female warrior among the four.

She may look petite, but her majestic temperament is definitely not inferior to anyone's.

"This is Varya."

"Anyone who underestimates her will be severely damaged. She once led the charge on the deck of the Seawolf fleet in Dornhold and burned their ships to the ground."

"Although the brutal battle nearly cost her her life, the final result was that she successfully killed the leader of the berserkers and hung him from the bow of the ship."

Huo Jixing's eyes narrowed and he heard the emphasis in Lux's words.

Dornhold, where he spun his lies.

"Rodion, Varya's twin brother."

Lux's eyes flickered when she saw Huo Jixing's emotional changes.

"Inheriting his sister's prowess, he sailed northward and set fire to the ships in Freljord's Frost Harbor as a warning to others who dared to invade south."

Huo Jixing nodded slightly and looked at the four Fearless Vanguard Legion soldiers in front of him.

When he was in Ningshuang Port, he secretly investigated the nearby clan power, including the existence of the Ice Bloodline and the elite warriors of the Avarosa clan.

Rodion was able to escape unscathed, fully demonstrating the terrifying strength of the fearless Vanguard Legion soldiers.

Lux knows everyone in the Dauntless Vanguard and has heard everyone's legendary stories.

Now seeing the embarrassed Huo Jixing in the middle, he hid the smile in the corners of his eyes very well.

Under Lux's sweet words, the four Dauntless Vanguard Legion soldiers walked away with smiles.

Huo Jixing was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Galen looking at him intently.

"No, Galen, you are the heir to the Crownguard family and the power of Demacia."

"How can the justice, honor and responsibility of representing Demacia be so oppressive to a Demacia?"

"Oh, I'm Noxian, that's no problem."

Huo Jixing immediately concealed his inner emotions and remained calm, one position behind Lux.

"Miss Crown Guard." Varya, who was holding the war horse, seemed to have thought of something and spoke.

"Six months ago, Rodion and I passed through the town of Forsbarrow after completing the mission in Dornhold. At that time, we did not find any signs of unnatural magic energy."

Lux looked over after hearing the words, recalling the black mist that filled the night: "Did you spend the night in Forsbarrow Town?"

"No." Varya and Rodion looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.

"Why do you ask that?" Galen in front of him faintly noticed something and looked at Lux.

"Curious." Lux's eyes flickered, hiding the nightmare she had encountered.

When she was a child, she heard Galen secretly make a vow, and she still remembers it in her heart.

Magic is the most important and powerful crisis facing the Kingdom of Demacia, and magic must never be allowed to enter their walls.

Huo Jixing followed the team silently.

When the last ray of afterglow dissipates and the dusk fades.

He looked at Galen and Lux ​​riding horses in front of him, and suddenly realized something.

He understood what Silas was up to.

Lux's arrival may have been an accident, to pay homage to her great-grandfather Fosian.

But Galen's arrival is definitely Silas's conspiracy.

Using the town of Forsbarrow as a prison, he awakened the remaining demonic power and imprisoned Galen and his fearless vanguard army, unable to stop the upcoming plan.

There was even an intention to murder Galen.

The Crownguard family is the most powerful noble family in the Kingdom of Demacia.

The death of its legal heir in the town of Forsbarrow will definitely cause shock to the Kingdom of Demacia.

"Tsk tsk, it's indeed Silas."

"But have you ever thought that your plan will definitely succeed?"

Huo Jixing's eyes fell on Lux, who was chatting and laughing, and he felt a sense of anticipation in his heart.

Silas openly sought the help of the Noxian Empire, but secretly tricked himself once.

You must know that the magical quagmire of the Kingdom of Demacia not only caused King Jarvan III to be assassinated and died in his palace.

It also made the major families still not agree with his only heir, Prince Jiawen, to take the throne.

"There is movement!"

As soon as the town of Forsbarrow came into view, Huo Jixing suddenly made a sound.

In his red-gold vision, the black fog over the town looked extremely thick.

Galen immediately looked in the direction pointed by Huo Jixing, his resolute face full of solemnity, and entered a fighting state.

His muscles flexed, and his sea-blue eyes were fixed, ready for action at any time.

The warriors of the Fearless Pioneer Legion drove their war horses and lined up around him, like arrows on the strings. The war horses draped in cobalt blue horse clothes let out rapid gasps.

Lux also noticed abnormal changes, and there was a bitter taste in her mouth, which was the trace of the surge of magic.

She immediately entered a fighting position, clutching the golden cane tightly.

Lux looks weak and weak, but she once targeted Galen.

In addition to the power of refraction, he also possesses extraordinary fighting skills.

Entering the town, Galen and Lux ​​saw angry residents pressing a man staggering across the street towards the market square.

The crowds were crowded and the noise was deafening.

Lux couldn't hear what the people were shouting, but she could clearly feel the anger and fear overflowing from the hearts of the town residents, slowly blending into the black mist.

"Vanguard! Ride!"

When Galen saw this, he could no longer care about anything. He roared loudly and pushed his spurs back.

Da da!Da da!Da da!

Under the leadership of Galen, there were only five Fearless Vanguard Legion soldiers, but they were like steel tides, relying on extremely high skills to separate the surging crowds just right.

Lux rode Starfire to follow, the horse's paws making sparks on the gravel road. In the middle of the market square, Lux reined in the reins, jumped off the horse, and saw the scene happening.

Within her field of vision, two soldiers from the Kingdom of Demacia dragged a crying man onto the auction stage that was originally used for buying and selling livestock.

The man's clothes were soaked in blood, and he kept wailing.

Judge Giselle stood in front of the man.

As hundreds of Forsbarrow residents poured into the square, shouting and shouting at the man, their intense resentment was palpable.

Lux felt that her magic power was already overflowing from her body.

Huo Jixing, with quick eyes and quick hands, gently patted Lux ​​on the shoulder, signaling her not to be disturbed by the black mist.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the black fog is very dim and almost invisible.

But under the perception of Huo Jixing and Lux, black mist spread like a tide, shrouding the town.

Lux adjusted her breathing, suppressed the incoming light, pushed past the angry crowd and walked closer, where she saw Galen standing under the steps of the square.

"Aldo Dayan,"

Judge Giselle was so emotional that her voice was extremely hoarse, like sand rubbing against her.

"I charge you with murder and conspiring with a black magician!"

"No!" Aldo raised his bleeding face and shouted angrily.

"You don't understand! They have all turned into monsters! I saw their true colors! Darkness, only darkness!"

"Plead guilty!" Judge Giselle stepped forward and glared at Aldo.

The residents of Forsbarrow also shouted, the desire for revenge gushing out from a pair of mouthpieces.

They were on the verge of breaking out, and at any moment they might rush to the high platform and cut Aldo Dayan into pieces.

But there is no reason to take action at the moment. It is just because of the four fearless Pioneer Legion soldiers in front of them who are at war with each other.

Facing Galen and the soldiers of the Fearless Vanguard Legion, their sanity still existed.

"What are you doing? What's going on?" Lux and Huo Jixing walked up to Galen and asked.

Galen did not look at her, but stared at Aldo who was kneeling.

"He killed his wife and children while they were sleeping, then ran into the street and attacked neighbors. He hacked three people to death with an ax before being subdued."

"Why is he like this?" When Lux heard this, she couldn't hide the look of horror on her face.

"What do you think?" Galen turned his head and looked at Lux and Huo Jixing.

"There must be a dark magician around here."

"It is the power of darkness that is causing trouble. Only under the evil influence of the black magician can a loyal resident of Demacia commit such a heinous crime."

Lux swallowed her angry retort, pushed Galen away, climbed onto the high platform, and walked towards the people kneeling on the ground.

"Miss Crown Guard? What are you doing?" Giselle said with a commanding tone.

Lux ignored her question, squatted down, and held Aldo's face.

His face was covered with bruises, and one eye was so swollen that he couldn't open it after being hit with a blunt object.

There was blood and snot dripping from the nose, and there were several bloody cuts on the split lips.

"Watch me carefully."

Lux spoke in a solemn voice, able to control his brilliant mental power through his skull and into his body full of scars.

Aldo used his remaining good eye to try to see Lux clearly.

The whites of his eyes were bloodshot and his eyelids were dark, as if he hadn't slept for several days.

"Tell me, why did you kill your own family, why did you attack your neighbors?"

Lux's power of refraction noticed the obstruction caused by the black mist, which seemed to be hindering her current approach.

"They're not. No. I saw. It's not them. They're monsters."

Aldo began to beat the ground with his hands, crying, and scarlet blood overflowed from his eyes.

"Darkness in human skin has always been hidden among us!"

"I woke up and saw their true faces!"

"So I kill them! I have to. I have to kill them!"

"Did you kill my Luca?"

Judge Giselle realized something, walked over quickly, looked down at Aldo Dayan with hatred on his face, and clenched his hands into fists.

"Did you kill my son? Because he was different?"

Judge Giselle looked devastated, with sadness all over her tired face.

But Lux saw through the cloak of grief the ulterior shame hidden underneath.

The judge's eyes were bloodshot and the circles were dark, but even such a pair of tired eyes still revealed a look familiar to Lux.

When she was a child, her mother would also look at her like this whenever her magic was out of control and exposed.

Sometimes her brother Galen would give him this look and think she didn't notice.

"What do you mean? Why is it different?" Lux seemed to catch some thoughts and stepped forward to hold Judge Giselle's hands.

"It's not that interesting." Judge Giselle evaded her words, avoiding Lux's eyes.

It was this move that made Lux immediately realize how different Judge Giselle's son was.

The devil!

Luca, her child.

Definitely a demon dyer!

"I've heard enough!" Galen heard the conversation between Lux and Judge Giselle and couldn't hold it in any longer.

The extremely sharp Demacia steel sword was unsheathed with a bang, and the cold light of the sword reflected Galen's hard face in the dusk.

"According to Demacia's penalty, is there only one crime of murder?"

"Yes, Your Highness Galen!"

Giselle's eyes left Lux's flawless face, her eyes filled with tears, and she nodded solemnly.

"Aldo Dayan, I convict you and recruit Galen Crownguard of the Dauntless Vanguard to exact Demacia's justice."

After hearing the verdict, Aldo raised his bloody face, and a crazy and sarcastic smile appeared, as if something was emerging, a dark whisper appeared in the air, the sound was rough and weak.

At this time, Galen raised his giant sword and made a gesture of preparation for execution.

Aldo's last words were drowned in the shouts of the crowd, but Lux pieced together the fragments completely.

At the same time, Galen's giant sword had begun to slash downward.

The light is fading.

Lux was not the only one to notice the abnormality.

Huo Jixing, who was standing in the crowd of Forsbarrow, also noticed that the dim black fog shrouding the town was getting thicker and thicker.

It seems that the terrifying existence in the dark has completely taken control of this land, plunging everything into darkness and chaos.

Lightbringer Temple!

Huo Jixing realized something and looked across the market square to the town's landmark building.

The flames burning on the top of the temple were completely extinguished at some point.

The diffuse black mist covered the temple, blocking the only light.

Lux looked at Galen's movements and exclaimed loudly, intending to stop him.

"and many more!"
