Chapter 74 Grand Welcome
What greeted Li Ke was a very resolute-looking Noxian man. He was also a famous Noxian warrior that Li Ke had never heard of. He was an officer who once served in the most elite Emperor's Guard. According to Nora
According to the information mentioned, this man who looked very determined once smashed the heads of three kings with his bare hands and threw their bodies into the incinerator.
But because he was the king of some small countries, his glory did not make him too famous, because there were too many such small countries. Every time they fought a battle with the Demacians, the strength of both sides radiated.
There will be countless more kings and city lords like this in the area, and in the next battle, each will choose their master due to interests and the war situation, so they will have to win over and threaten them again.
Most of the Noxian iron-blooded names came from these people, because most of these people took their benefits and protection, and then took refuge in the Germans when the next Noxian war was at a disadvantage.
The Marcians also say that they are too cruel. Therefore, the Noxians have never been stingy with their butcher knives against these people. Every time they encounter one, they will kill the entire family of these duplicitous guys.
On the other hand, Demacia will take in those who betrayed them and will not kill them. At most, they will make them pay a ransom and try their best to protect them from being liquidated by the Noxians. Therefore, the reputation of the Demacians
It's getting better and better, and there are many people who are willing to side with them in the war. Although most of them put up a symbolic resistance when the Demacian war situation was urgent and the Noxians surrendered, but in Noxus
Under the premise that the Xansians would kill all those who resisted their city-states, the Demacians would continue to shelter and accept them after the situation improved or the war ceased.
This is the war between Demacia and Noxus, a war that constantly sheds the blood of both sides. The difference is that the Noxians swallowed most of the bitter fruits of the war themselves. But the Demacians relied on Valoran
The many small countries on the plains shared most of the war pressure equally, so their countries did not bleed as fast as Noxus.
"Welcome back to Noxus, the heart of the most powerful country in the world. The Grand Commander will receive you, the rising star of the empire, in his ballroom in the evening, so now please come with me to a private residence of the Grand Commander to rest first
.”
This officer named Robert is very humble and polite, and his armor is covered with all kinds of gorgeous repair marks. At first glance, he is a typical Noxian noble. And he came to greet Li Ke with him.
There were several girls wearing traditional Noxian costumes. And several of them were obviously relatives and children of the commander. Each of them was dressed up and kept giving hints to Li Ke with various eyes and body movements.
Although Li Ke felt uncomfortable, the training he had received had been deeply ingrained in his bones. He instinctively declined these enthusiastic girls with body language and promised to dance with them at the reception. But when he reacted
At that moment, the girls left his side with a coquettish smile, and Robert beside him couldn't help laughing.
"It seems that our new star of the empire has not lost any social etiquette after being away from the center of Noxus for so long."
Li Ke inadvertently used a few moves that only veteran nobles could understand, and without a lot of training and use, they would never be so natural and skillful. So the officer couldn't help but put his heart into it.
Some of the doubts have been eliminated. After all, if you are not a real Noxian noble, it is impossible to understand some of the conventions among Noxian nobles.
"No, I'm actually not very good at dealing with girls, that's why I refuse so skillfully."
But Li Ke's mood became complicated, because the person who taught him these etiquettes was a person who was killed by him, but he was not a general. For some hints and actions that only young men and women knew, it was actually a person who was paid a lot of money by the general.
It was taught to him by a maid he invited. But that maid was also an assassin who was proficient in assassination and poisoning. The order she received was to kill Li Ke in the process.
Therefore, after teaching Li Ke and not poisoning him to death, she chose to stab Li Ke's heart with a dagger while chatting with Li Ke on the bed. Li Ke, who was well prepared, also
Her head was smashed on the wall. After that, the general taught the noble etiquette himself, and he continued to send maids and servants to Li Ke, and the tasks of these people were the same as that of the teacher.
Just kill Li Ke by any means necessary.
But there is no doubt that they are all dead.
The reflections of the past echoed in Li Ke's heart, and the shadows of those who accepted the order, or whose whole family was threatened, appeared in front of his eyes. And what a coincidence, in the process, he had also reached immortality.
On an avenue in front of the fortress. Because it is noon, Noxus has finally ushered in the hot sunshine, making everything brighter. It is said that all the ghosts lingering in the sky have been driven into the Immortal Fortress.
Among them, Li Ke's vision was completely clear.
The avenue made of black and gray stones is very smooth and open. The red flags fluttering in the wind are also dancing at this moment. The surrounding shops are not decorated with curved sculptures, but with life-threatening sharp blades and
Spikes, this avenue is not so much a road for carriages and horses, but a square for ordering troops. And the moment Li Ke stepped on this avenue that leads directly to the immortal fortress, the sounds of countless war drums and horns
It also rang, and countless girls stood on the building on one side. They raised the petals in the flower baskets they held toward Li Ke, dyeing everything Li Ke saw with the color of the petals.
"This is prepared for you by His Majesty, as a thank you for single-handedly bringing Piltover to the Empire's territory."
Robert bent down to Li Ke and performed a courtesy, while the people who were still idle cheered for Li Ke and his party, causing the craftsmen and technicians from Piltover to cheer for them.
The Noxian girl waved her arms and smiled, hoping to have a nice exotic romance with some Noxian girl while they were stopping for supplies.
The red carpets were quickly thrown in front of Li Ke by the waiters. Groups of soldiers with bright and neat armor also shouted the title of Li Ke's Immortal and strode over. The red carpet stood in front of Li Ke.
He stood on both sides of the carpet and kept beating his weapons on the ground, venting his longing to the rhythm of the war drums and horns.
And what Li Ke saw on their faces was not impatience with the task, because the expressions of reverence and envy when they looked at him were something he would never admit to being wrong, and that kind of expression was something he would never admit was wrong.
The feeling of faith constantly gathering into him is something he will never admit to being wrong about.
"That's why I hate Noxus."
He stretched out his hand to catch a piece of pink petal, and then crushed it under Robert's puzzled gaze. Li Ke, wearing a cloak, strode onto the red carpet, accompanied by the roar of the sky above the Immortal Fortress.
The bells are ringing, heading towards the core of this empire.
This sudden attack by the Noxian Emperor.
