The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 116 Noxus Commander Swain

The Immortal Fortress, in front of the Triumphal Stairs.

Huo Jixing followed Delevingne and climbed the dark gray stairs in front of him.

On the long stone steps, every twelve steps, there will be soldiers from the Trifali Legion wearing black steel armor standing on both sides of the steps.

They looked at the shackled man in front of them with curiosity and awe.

Huo Jixing's story of killing nobles has spread within a small area.

Although the nobles tried their best to suppress the negative impact and spread of the killing of nobles, many people still witnessed the scene of thousands of cuts that night.

As he walked up the steps, Huo Jixing also looked at his surroundings with curious eyes.

The style of the palace complex in front of you is solemn and solemn.

It fits the Noxian aesthetic very well.

There are also soldiers from the Trefari Legion wearing black steel armor, which is the best plate armor in the Noxus Empire. The ore used comes from the Diver Fort.

Huo Jixing was seen during the Second Battle of Freljord.

It is a battle group directly under Darius.

Now, according to Wilson's wishes, we call them——

Trifari Army!
The empire has devoted all its efforts to build the most loyal and prestigious fighting force, and will lead the Noxian army into a new era of glorious conquest.

"The smell of a forge!"

Huo Jixing continued to climb the stairs, his eyes brightening slightly.

He smelled the smell of coal smoke and workshops in the cold morning wind.

It's the Noxian Forge.

"I kind of miss life on the northern border of the empire!" Huo Jixing thought secretly.

Compared to simple military camp life.

The overt and covert struggles in the capital of Noxus, as well as the intricate relationships among many forces, really made him feel tired.

Of course, if there is another chance to choose.

Huo Jixing will still choose to enter the capital of Noxus.

Only this place, the core of the Noxus Empire, could his power continue to increase.

Led by Draven, the two climbed to the top of the ladder.

The dark gray palace appeared in front of Huo Jixing's eyes, dark and majestic, with red imperial flags flying on both sides.

puff!puff!puff!

With the sound of flapping wings, hundreds of crows flew over their heads in the crimson sky and flew into the distance.

Huo Jixing looked at the group of pitch-black crows, his red-gold eyes flashing, but he was surprised to find that no clouds were rising.

Just reached the top of the ladder.

A Leiser guard soldier wearing lavender armor came over and looked at Huo Jixing's face.

"Go this way!"

Huo Jixing looked at Draven with a confused expression.

After seeing Delevingne nod, he followed the Reese garrison soldiers to the side hall of the palace.

Delevingne watched Huo Jixing leave, his expression suddenly darkened.

Looking at the metal palace in front of him, he smelled an uneasy atmosphere. From his arena, he saw Huo Jixing who was well prepared, plus the sudden trial.

He seemed to see an invisible hand behind his back, controlling everything.

"A black rose with thorns!"

Draven's dark eyes turned, and a flash of piercing murderous intent passed away.

Taking a deep breath, he stepped into the metal palace.

Passing through the giant gate of the palace, Draven saw the familiar scene of the audience hall.

Under the throne, the three members of the Trifali Council sat on a high platform and gathered around a simple marble table.

There are many nobles in the audience hall who have already taken their seats.

After seeing Draven, they maintained a polite manner and stood up to say hello.

They must respect the executioner who has long been known throughout the Noxian Empire.

After all, two people in Trifali's three-person council maintain a close relationship with Draven.

Draven stood beside Swain with a gloomy face, leaned over and whispered a few words.

Because of Draven's key role in Swain's coup, there was some estrangement between him and Darius.

At least to outsiders, Draven and Darius seem to have parted ways.

After waiting for a while.

In the audience hall, the nobles took their seats one by one, and the Trifali Council convened again.

However, compared with before, this time the nobles launched an attack on Darius, regarding the recent cleansing operation in the empire.

See Darius under siege.

Draven's eyes were stern, and there seemed to be a ball of fire in his eyes, but he suppressed his inner emotions and recorded the faces of the noble nobles in the audience hall.

"Any more?"

Darius raised his chin imperceptibly, placed his palm on the smooth marble table, and moved it slightly.

Maybe it was Darius's action that was too provocative.

Earl Athol looked at the surrounding nobles with an embarrassed expression, a slight sweat breaking out on his pale temples.

"General Darius, the purge has caused panic."

"We hope you can stop your excessive behavior and don't let the empire pension incident disrupt the order of the empire."

"order?"

Darius looked calm, looking past Earl Athol and landing on the nobles behind him who maintained etiquette.

"I follow the laws of the Empire, and if you have any doubts, you can impeach me at any time."

Gulans came out, nodded to the frowning Earl of Athol, and looked directly into Darius's calm eyes.

"According to the laws of the empire, your actions are also a provocation against our bloodline and status." "Bloodline? Status?"

Before Darius could answer, an angry and rude growl sounded.

In the corner of the audience hall, Kled, riding Skaar, ignored the nobles along the way and came to Gulans.

"Gulansi, let me think about it, your bloodline seems not pure, right?"

Facing Skaar's open mouth, Gulans frowned slightly, looked at Kled wielding the axe, and had to take a step back.

Unlike other imperial generals.

Kled's status is placed above the history of the Empire.

He fought in nearly every campaign ever waged by an Imperial warband, and was admired by countless Noxian soldiers.

Because of this, Kled enjoys the privilege of wearing weapons and riding Skaarl into the audience hall.

The most important thing is that Kled killed a noble more than once, but in the end he was safe.

Gulans looked at Kled and Darius with twinkling eyes.

He is also one of the imperial generals, has his own battle group, and is also a powerful figure in the aristocratic forces.

But faced with the pressure of Darius and Kled.

His pleading eyes fell on the 'Faceless Ones' of the Trefari Council.

Unfortunately, the faceless man looked at the people in the audience hall with a calm expression, mysterious and mysterious under the smooth mask.

"Your Majesty, this farce can be brought to an end, otherwise."

In a desperate situation, Gulans looked at the last member of Trifali's three-person council and said helplessly.

The family Swain was born into represented his camp to a certain extent.

After all, he could become the new commander of the Noxus Empire, and the noble elites contributed a lot, and they jointly launched a coup.

"So, what's your request?"

Draven spoke out, staring at Gulans with cold eyes.

Hearing Draven's voice, whether it was Gulans, Earl Atholl, or other nobles, they looked a little embarrassed.

Draven's identity is very unusual.

He is extremely powerful in his own right, and he is still Swain's confidant and represents Swain.

Gulans and the others were originally curious as to why Draven, who hated meetings so much, came to the palace, but now they understood Swain's thoughts.

"We need to execute Huo Jixing to put an end to this matter."

"impossible!"

"impossible!"

Draven refused without thinking.

At the same time, Darius also spoke up, and the two brothers had surprisingly the same idea.

As if to cooperate with Darius's words, the soldiers of the Trifali Legion in the audience hall used the end of their halberds to dig into the ground, and a sound like thunder echoed.

The nobles were so shocked that their expressions were tense and their bodies were trembling, for fear of an accident.

"Then, let me make a proposal."

Seeing the fearful expressions on the nobles' faces, Swain finally spoke, his deep gaze fell on Count Athol, and he tapped his fingers on the table.

"Since you want Huo Jixing's life, then..."

The side hall of the metal palace.

The rays of the morning sun fall down, reflecting the crimson rays of light.

The Leiser garrison soldiers who brought Huo Jixing in took off his shackles, placed him in place, and began to deal with the matters at hand.

Huo Jixing originally thought there would be some inquiries, but looked at the busy Leiser soldiers guarding the side hall and chose to remain silent.

It was the first time he saw the soldiers guarding Leiser, and he was quite curious.

But soon, his attention was completely attracted by the sounds in the audience hall next door, and he heard the voices of accountability from many nobles.

Blame on Darius.

There was Darius's rebuttal, and Kled's angry voice.

Huo Jixing's eyes flashed with slight surprise, then he quickly understood and a smile appeared on his lips.

The continent of Valoran is not the ordinary society of the previous life, but an extraordinary world.

The nobles of the Noxian Empire were one of the important factors that led to the rise of the Noxians during the Noxian period and the early days of the Noxian Empire.

They gave their all to the Empire, not only their own lives, but also the lives of their descendants.

We cannot kill all the aristocratic forces just because of the imperial pension incident.

Huo Jixing can understand the importance that nobles place on their own lineage and status.

This is the glory that our ancestors, or our fathers, fought for with their red blood.

Huo Jixing has been naturally opposed to the nobles since Lingchi Baron Calvin.

Consider this a challenge to their lineage and status.

Tap!Tap!Tap!

Just as Huo Jixing's thoughts were surging, gentle footsteps sounded, mixed with the sound of wooden canes.

Huo Jixing turned around and saw an old-school nobleman walking into the side hall.

The next moment!

His eyes tightened, and he recognized the person in front of him, who was none other than——

Lord Swain of Noxus!
Thick gray hair was spread over his shoulders, and he wore a simple coat over his battle-worn armor.

The left hand with the black glove is tightly tucked into the hem of the clothes, and the right hand gently holds the black crutch, making him look like an old-school aristocrat.

Compared to the soldiers guarding Leiser.

Huo Jixing could not see any signs of military rank on Swain. Only the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes witnessed the ups and downs of the Noxus Empire.

"Haha, don't be so nervous, just relax."

Swain saw Huo Jixing's nervousness after saluting and chuckled.
