The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 215 The heavy fog is gradually rising, calling for the wind and rain

Under dawn.

The heroes of Demacia woke up in the soft glow.

As soon as he opened his sleepy eyes, he unexpectedly saw the demon-seeking army coming out in full force.

They were solemn and solemn, their steps were in unison, they were holding various weapons, and the half-copper masks they wore shone coldly in the morning light.

Accompanied by the dispatch of demon seeker legion soldiers.

All the forces in the capital of Demacia became restless and began to explore the purpose of the Demon Seeker Legion.

However, the intelligence information obtained caused all the forces in Xiongdu to fall into silence.

Eldred, the supreme commander of the Demon Seeker Legion, has issued an order.

Any force that inquires about this operation will be investigated by the Demon Seeker Legion afterwards.

Time passes slowly.

Gradually, uneasiness and tension filled the air in Xiongdu.

Pedestrians avoided the streets where the heavily armed demon-seeking army passed, staring at the rolling torrent of steel in front of them.

Everything seems to indicate that a storm is coming.

Crownguard Castle.

Tiana Crownguard, who was eating breakfast, saw her bodyguard walking over in a hurry.

"There is a demon seeker at the door asking to see you. He said it was on Lord Eldred's order."

Tiana stopped eating, her eyes twinkling.

Because of the assassination of His Majesty Jarvan III, Eldred has not returned to Crownguard Castle for a long time.

"Let him in."

After waiting for a while.

The demon seeker wearing half a copper faceplate walked into the restaurant, saluted Tiana, and then took out a letter with a wax seal from his arms.

"This is Lord Eldred's letter. I must give it to you personally."

The guard standing beside him took the letter and placed it on the table.

Tiana opened the letter casually, and after reading it, her expression gradually darkened.

There is not much content in the letter, but Eldred mentioned Kashina’s identity in it——

A high-ranking knight of the Order of the Illuminator.

He also expressed his worries about Lux from the side.

But the most important news inside is that Eldred needs the help of the Dauntless Vanguard.

Tiana narrowed her eyes slightly, a thoughtful look on her cold face.

Galen, the sword captain of the Fearless Vanguard Legion, has left the capital.

Now only Tiana, as the generalissimo, can command the fearless vanguard army guarding the nearby capital.

"Where is Eldred now?" Tiana asked.

"We are heading to the slum area." The demon seeker replied respectfully: "Except for those who stayed behind, all the demon seekers' army has set off."

"Do you have any detailed information?" Tiana looked over and rubbed the letter with her fingers.

"Sorry, Lady Tiana, my authority is insufficient." The demon searcher shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not know the purpose of this operation.

Seeing this, Tiana's eyes became deep and she was thinking intensely in her heart.

Although their relationship was at a low point, she understood her husband's character very well.

Nor will her relationship affect her judgment of the situation in Xiongdu.

Tiana lowered her eyes and looked at the words on the letter. She could see Eldred's determination between the lines.

The last time we encountered such a situation was when His Majesty Jarvan III was assassinated.

At that time, Eldred stayed up all night, ordering Galen to lead the Fearless Vanguard Legion and cooperate with the Demon Seeker Legion to dig deep into the area near Dawn Castle.

"What is he going to do?"

Tiana held her chin, doubts rising in her heart, but she still stood up without hesitation and gave instructions to the attendants beside her.

"Prepare the carriage."

Then she walked to the bedroom and put on the shining steel armor belonging to the Dauntless Vanguard Legion.

"In addition, send my order to cancel the vacation of the Fearless Vanguard Corps."

Tiana paused for a moment and continued: "There is also the Demacia Dragon Bird Knights Legion. All soldiers are on standby."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Grand Marshal."

The attendant beside him immediately saluted, turned and left.

Dawn Castle, brilliantly lit.

Prince Jiawen had already gotten up, wearing a golden robe, sitting in his study, working on the backlog of affairs of the Silver Council.

After the death of Jarvan III, the Silver Council was responsible for reviewing and processing all affairs of the Kingdom of Demacia.

In the end, some undecidable and very important matters will be selected and handed over to Prince Jiawen.

Some time ago, Prince Jiawen fell into revenge and turned a blind eye to other state affairs, leaving all matters to the Silver Council, resulting in a backlog of many important matters.

Squeak!

The heavy door opened, Xin Zhao stepped in and spoke in a solemn voice.

"Urgent news from the Demon Seeker Legion."

Prince Jiawen raised his eyes, took the letter in Xin Zhao's hand, and quickly opened it.

"Eldred is preparing to seal off the slum area and said he will give me an explanation afterwards."

"Uncle, what do you think?"

Prince Jiawen looked away and handed the letter in his hand to Xin Zhao beside him.

"You can trust Eldred." Xin Zhao replied firmly.

He recalled that the last letter written by His Majesty Jarvan III was given to Eldred.

It shows that Eldred is trustworthy.

"Then what should I do now?" Prince Jiawen asked.

Although he has attended the Silver Council, he has not yet had time to take the oath of office.

"Waiting for Eldred to see you."

Xin Zhao's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly felt a little familiar with the current situation.

On the night when His Majesty Jarvan III was assassinated, Eldred was also searching for extraordinary people in the capital, leaving Dawn Castle's defense power extremely empty.

"This time, I will prevent fate from happening!"

Xiongdu, slum area.

Kashina, wearing silver armor and a long sword hanging from her waist, stopped at the place where the priests of the Lightbringer Temple last disappeared last night.

Her gaze was firm and cold, as if she was trying to decipher the world in front of her.

In front of her, the soldiers of the Demon Seeker Legion were fully armed and ready.

The chilling aura emanating from them was intimidating.

Following Eldred's orders.

The soldiers of the Demon Seeker Legion acted quickly.

They were divided into small teams one by one and entered this slum area one by one, launching a carpet-like search without sparing any corner.

Soon, the area became lively.

Soldiers of the Demon Searchers conducted comprehensive house-to-house searches, and under a strong iron fist, residents of the slums were expelled from their homes to prevent the aftermath of the battle.

The search was very noisy, as if they didn't care that the people lurking in the dark knew about it in advance.

Because the surrounding area has been sealed off, no one can enter or leave without Eldred's warrant.

Behind Kashina, the priests and nuns from the Lightbringer Temple took action.

They walked through the chaotic crowd, clasped their hands, and whispered prayers in low and pious voices.

It was the presence of priests and nuns that brought a moment of comfort to the residents.

This area is also filled with the power of faith.

In the distance, the soldiers of the Demon Searcher Corps were busy, searching house to house like worker ants.

Their actions were swift and orderly, displaying amazing efficiency.

But with the passage of time.

They haven't found the person lurking in the dark yet. However, during the process, they eliminated many gangsters and criminals.

These people who were eliminated may be related to other forces in Xiongdu, or they may just be innocent victims.

But no matter what, they all became victims of this search operation.

"no!"

"no!"

"no!"

"no!"

After hearing the report from the Demon Searching Legion soldiers in front of him, Eldred remained calm.

But Kashina couldn't sit still.

She looked a little anxious, as if she wanted to personally participate in the search.

"If it could be found so easily, it wouldn't have been hidden in the capital for so long." Eldred said calmly.

He had gone through a lot of searches in his past career as a demon searcher, and he knew deeply that the person lurking in the dark must be very cunning.

"It's still a long time."

The old god Eldred looked at the area in front of him that was gradually clearing, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"We still have fun to play!"

Inside the cave, bright lights came on.

Francis had already walked out of his room and was looking above his head gloomily.

As early as when the demon-seeking army arrived, he had already withdrawn the secret sentry on the ground and moved them all into the underground cave.

"Still continuing?"

Hearing the constant movement on the ground, Francis' heart fell to the bottom.

He knew that if the demon-seeking army continued such a blanket search, sooner or later they would find the entrance to the safe house below them.

But at the critical moment, Francis must remain calm and not show panic.

He knew that every move he made might affect the safety of everyone in the secret place.

In the center of the cave, everyone in the Leiser Guard Secret Hall gathered together, looking suspicious among each other.

I was planning to leave this safe house at night.

But he didn't expect that the plan could not keep up with the change. Like hyenas, the demon-seeking army immediately blocked the area completely.

Catalina and Huo Jixing were also there, standing beside Francis, looking at the dome of the cave.

The movement on the ground was indeed very loud, dense footsteps kept ringing, and there was a bit of dust trembling.

Seeing Francis looking over, Catalina frowned slightly and spoke in a deep voice.

"continue waiting!"

This safe house was prepared by her. The entrance is very secret and cannot be found through a simple search.

"They can't find it here yet."

"Perhaps they will disperse by nightfall."

Huo Jixing stood quietly, with no expression on his face, and his eyes were filled with a faint red-gold light.

Within his field of vision, many clouds rose up, almost filling his field of vision.

He also met many extraordinary beings.

Apparently, there are also those in the demon-seeker army who ignore the laws of the kingdom.

"I guess it's a bit confusing." Huo Jixing said with a very firm tone.

He turned to look at Catalina and Francis, and chuckled: "Let's make some noise at night, otherwise we really can't live without each other."

Catalina lowered her head and thought for a while before agreeing.

"can!"

Huo Jixing nodded and walked towards the tunnel.

In order to prevent the entrance location from being found in advance, he decided to use his mental power to interfere with the nearby Anti-Demon Legion soldiers.

At dusk, night falls.

The golden glow permeates the old buildings, casting a mysterious veil over the area.

All Demacians in the area were taken away, and all residences were searched over and over again.

But the Demon Searcher Legion soldiers still didn't find anyone lurking in the dark.

Eldred's eyes showed a trace of impatience and he waved his hand behind.

Under the bright yellow firelight, the soldiers of the Demon Searcher Legion stepped out with four white-gold stone hounds.

"Forbidden Stone Hound!"

Kashina looked at the stone hound in front of her, her pupils constricted.

These white-gold hounds followed the soldiers of the Demon Seeker Legion with a slightly heavy pace.

But the golden eyes were cold and ruthless.

They are no ordinary hunting dogs.

It is a forbidden magic stone product based on the Durang family's carving skills.

Looking from a distance, the four Forbidden Stone Hounds are huge, and the white rocks like giant wolves give off a faint luster in the setting sun.

Their eyes are deep and dark, as if they can see through everything.

Golden metal decorations are embellished on them, adding a bit of nobility and mystery.

Kashina stared at the four forbidden magic stone hounds, feeling a sense of awe in her heart.

She knew in her heart that these hounds were the pride of the Durand family and the guardians of the Kingdom of Demacia.

But she never expected that the Durang family would be connected with the Demon Seeker Legion.

Da da! Da da! Da da!

Under the command of the Demon Seeker Legion soldiers, the Forbidden Demon Stone Hounds ran quickly.

They are like precision instruments, entering every room and sniffing around the corners, not letting go of any clues.

Kashina also followed behind these forbidden magic stone hounds, feeling some premonitions in her heart.

This time we can definitely find the location of the person lurking in the dark.

Half an hour later.

In front of a slightly dilapidated three-story hut, there was a forbidden magic stone hound that seemed to be slightly hesitant and wandering.

No matter how driven the Demon Seeker Legion soldiers were, they could not move forward.

"Is it nearby?"

Kashina raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the unoccupied three-story hut in front of her.

The dilapidated door was crumbling under the continuous search, and the dirty environment inside could be seen.

The walls were covered with cobwebs and the floor was filled with garbage.

Just when she was about to step forward, she suddenly stopped.

"Ok?"

Kasina looked at the dim sky, and fine raindrops fell quietly, hitting her cheeks, bringing a chill.

After a while, the drizzle turned into a downpour, and the vision became blurry.

Affected by heavy rain.

The soldiers of the Demon Seeker Legion looked for cover to hide.

But in this rain curtain, the four nearby Forbidden Stone Hounds started barking at this moment.

The sound was urgent and tense, as if they were sensing something that made them extremely afraid.

Kashina's heart tightened. She knew that these four hounds would never bark for no reason. They must have discovered something abnormal.

Woof woof! Woof woof! Woof woof!

The barking of hounds echoed in the empty streets, the sound carrying a sense of sadness and despair, as if warning of impending danger.

Kashina held the sword tightly.

In the bead curtain and rain curtain, she saw a hazy figure appearing, strolling over.

Behind the figure, there are still bursts of fog, filling the air with the rain.
