The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 88 Noxus Capital Immortal Fortress
Noxus Empire, central hinterland.

On the vast flat dark green plain, a majestic capital city with unfathomable height, like a lying ancient giant, is located in the most eye-catching position.

Looking from a distance, the dark gray city wall seemed to penetrate the clouds, blocking the prying eyes of all forces. Countless red imperial flags hung along the wall.

As the winter wind blows, endless waves of red ripple.

This is the capital of Noxus——

Immortal Fortress!

It is older than the Empire, and rumor has it that the terrifying wraith Mordekaiser ordered its construction.

But now many parts of it have been completely razed and gradually rebuilt over the past few hundred years, gradually forming the current capital of Noxus.

Outside the walls of the capital, there are many cascading buildings, some of which are lower than the surface and hidden beneath the ground.

They are the slums that exist in the capital of Noxus, the lowest level of darkness.

"Stop looking, DeWitt!"

In the hill camp, Huo Jixing walked to the raised boulder, patted DeWitt on the shoulder, and said.

"The latest news is that the suppression in the capital has almost ended."

"I guess if we wait a little longer, we can enter and leave the capital."

After the war with the Winter's Claw tribe ended.

Under the orders of General Darius, they spent a lot of time at the northern border of the empire to prevent Sejuani from suddenly returning and attacking border cities.

The end result is time wasted for no reason.

But it's not without its benefits. The battle groups that just experienced the war got enough rest time and their combat strength remained intact.

General Darius then received an order to retreat, signed by Jericho Swain.

It is hoped that Darius will lead the Northland War Group and quickly return to the Immortal Fortress to 'protect' the nobles troubled by the unrest.

Although Swain completed a one-night coup, there are still many great nobles in the Immortal Fortress.

They began to become restless, and many people coveted the position of leader of Noxus.

Afterwards, Huo Jixing and his team members received military orders and followed General Darius and the Northland Battle Group through [Noxtola] and returned to the capital of Noxus.

Perhaps it was a protest from the nobles, or maybe it was Swain's compromise.

In short, of the returning Northland battle groups, only a small number of battle groups entered the Immortal Fortress and were responsible for martial law and control of traffic arteries, while most of the battle groups were stationed outside the high walls.

Huo Jixing and his team members arrived at the Noxian camp on the hill.

Before leaving the northern border, he originally wanted to say goodbye to the Gregorys and see if he could see the newborn Anne.

Unfortunately, the subsequent battlefield processing took a lot of time.

Coupled with Swain's order to withdraw, he had to follow the military order and come outside the Noxus capital.

"There is also this [Cui Fali Announcement], do you want to take a look?" Huo Jixing placed the gray-white paper in his hand in front of DeWitt's eyes.

"[Cui Farley Announcement]?"

DeWitt retracted his distant gaze with a puzzled expression. He took the gray paper in front of him and read it carefully.

After a moment, DeWitt's eyes fell on the last line of the announcement and he murmured softly.

"Citizen?"

"Wilson brought it here. The information is very reliable." Huo Jixing looked at the stacked buildings outside the dark gray wall in the distance with a faint look in his eyes.

The slums of the Immortal Fortress, the darkness beneath the prosperity!

It represents hunger and poverty, disease and plague.

It is also the birthplace of DeWitt.

Most of the people at the bottom living in the slums do not have Noxian citizenship. They can only rely on their own physical labor to obtain meager food and some space to survive.

"After you receive the reward, you can take your family and enter the Immortal Fortress!"

After hearing Huo Jixing's words, the sadness in the depths of DeWitt's eyes dissipated a lot, and a touch of joy crept onto his face.

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!" Huo Jixing rubbed Devitt's head. This young scout had spent a lot of time on the border of Northland and had gained sufficient military exploits from the Freljord battlefield.

Coupled with citizenship, it is very easy to enter the interior of the Immortal Fortress.

"Go back first, and I'll ask in detail when Wilson comes next time!" Huo Jixing took DeWitt back to the camp.

Compared to the camps on the northern border, this camp guarding the Immortal Fortress is much stricter.

As an elite scout of Dewit, proof of access is required, as well as the signature of the centurion of the chapter.

But with Huo Jixing with him, these cumbersome procedures were eliminated.

The current Huo Jixing is no longer the same status as when he was a recruit.

In addition to being a transcendent himself, his performance in the second battle of Freljord and the military exploits gained from the victory made him deeply valued by Darius.

Although the position is still Captain of Ten, according to Wilson's wishes, he will receive a special reward from the Trifali Council.

As for the specific reward content, it has not yet been determined.

Passing through the subway gate, what comes into view are narrow, claustrophobic streets and densely packed stately houses.

Even during the day, the environment seems dark.

The Immortal Fortress hundreds of years ago was an important military facility of the Noxus Empire, so the camp that defended it wouldn't seem too shabby.

Walking along the narrow streets, you can see Noxian soldiers wearing armor and solemn expressions everywhere, who are always ready to fight.

News of Swain's coup has spread throughout the Noxian Empire.

Most of these Noxian soldiers stationed in the camp were brought over from the Northland Battle Group by Darius, and they also admired Swain.

Their mission is simple, to defend the capital against anyone intent on causing rebellion.

When they saw Huo Jixing, the Noxian soldiers along the way saluted and looked a little fanatical.

In the final moments of the Second Battle of the Freljord, the scene where Kled led the Noxian Scarlet Cavalry to charge was deeply etched in the souls of the Noxian soldiers who fought at that time.

It has to be said that Kled's charging performance was extremely brutal.

But Huo Jixing's blazing killing power was not weak either, and he won the support of many Noxian soldiers.

Huo Jixing kept smiling and gradually got used to his star-like status. He felt a little like becoming a hero.

In the center of the camp, a two-story dark gray building stands, with densely stacked walls at the eaves, and a solemn and dark style.

Push open the door.

Huo Jixing saw the sword boy Heini carefully wiping the long knife in his hand, looking completely focused.

In the corner of the room, Korda was sitting on a wooden chair, leaning over and writing something.

Only the few people in front of me were left in the once-organized scout team.

"Captain of ten!" Seeing Huo Jixing, the sword boy Heini stood up and said respectfully, and then greeted DeWitt with a smile.

"Has it been rebuilt?" Huo Jixing looked at Heini's long knife and reached out to take it.

The long knife he used before was severely damaged in the Battle of Freljord and could no longer be used, so he had to have the munitions department make a new one according to the style.

Hoo hoo!Hoo hoo!
The sharp sword light flashed, leaving afterimages in the air.

"As expected of a Noxian craftsman, his craftsmanship is really good!"

Huo Jixing looked at the long knife in his hand, which was like a seedling. The blade was much heavier, which was more suitable for his current strength, but it did not affect his flexibility at all.

There are tempered flame patterns on the handle, extending from the handle to the end of the blade.

"I'm going to rest first. Call me during dinner."

As if thinking of something, Huo Jixing put away the long knife, hung it on his waist, and walked to his room on the second floor.
