I, Folyago, am the most devoted lover in Runeterra.

In her eyes, Riven's behavior was undoubtedly a contempt for the Empire!

Openly disobeying military orders will be severely punished in the military!

Of course, there is only one exception.

"Feel sorry."

"I am speaking with Legion Commander Leon Gurez."

"Those who are not involved should keep their mouths shut."

“A lackey who only knows how to wag his tail and beg for mercy should not stay on the battlefield of the empire.”

"A warm fireplace and a cradle are the places you should belong."

Riven retorted coldly.

To rise to the rank of sergeant major in the Noxian military camp is certainly not something that can be achieved through mere brute force.

The nonchalant attitude of the lower-ranking soldiers had unknowingly already influenced Riven.

Without a doubt, Riven now regards the beautiful Katrina as both Fryego's concubine and bodyguard.

Her words were a great insult to any soldier.

How could Katrina, who already had a fiery temper, tolerate this?

"Bastard!"

In an instant, Katarina appeared behind Riven, her sharp dagger aimed at Riven's throat.

Katarina's speed was unexpected by Riven, but years of battlefield experience allowed Riven to instantly come up with the best solution.

Riven raised her arm and used the Iron Armor 343 on her arm to block Katarina's sudden attack.

"Stab!!!"

The piercing sound of metal rubbing against metal instantly echoed throughout the entire battlefield.

Then, Riven exerted all her strength and shoved Katarina away.

Similar to Katarina, Riven likely possesses Gold-tier strength.

However, compared to Katarina who follows this path, Riven, who follows the warrior path, is clearly more suited to this kind of head-on battle.

Especially in terms of strength, Katrina is at a significant disadvantage.

After all, for an assassin, the focus is on agility and precision.

An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.

After their first exchange, Katrina found the situation rather tricky.

She wasn't afraid of Riven, but in such a direct confrontation, she was indeed at a disadvantage.

"Sergeant Major, catch!"

Suddenly, a soldier behind Riven threw a greatsword at her.

Riven raised her hand and caught the seemingly intimidating greatsword.

With a flick of her wrist, she raised the greatsword in her hand and pointed it at Katrina and Foygo in front of her, the meaning in her eyes self-evident.

Katarina stared at the greatsword in Riven's hand, as if she had suddenly remembered something.

"You're the female swordswoman from Triwell?"

The anger in Katrina's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a fighting spirit.

Riven, or rather, the female swordsman of Triwell.

He can also be considered a well-known figure in the Noxian Empire.

And what truly represents its identity is this iconic giant sword.

.......

"In the Noxian Empire, everyone has the opportunity to rise above others."

"Of course, the premise is that you dare to fight."

This is a phrase that the imperial officials often use.

The purpose was to motivate the soldiers at the bottom of the empire.

In fact, this statement is absolutely true.

Darius, the current Hand of Noxus, is the best embodiment of this slogan.

Darius came from a poor background and was once just a street urchin.

But through his own efforts, he has worked his way up to where he is today in the Noxian army.

Darius's story also inspired the Noxian soldiers to advance.

Triwell, a place of extreme poverty in the Noxian Empire.

Even in the generally desolate lands of the Empire, Triwell's poverty was notorious.

Now, the official intention is to mold a female warrior who was born into poverty but has achieved remarkable feats into "the second Darius".

The intention is to inspire more people with the story of this female soldier.

To this end, General Darkwell spared no expense in forging a massive runic blade.

Furthermore, a female mage from the cabinet was appointed to imbue this runic blade with powerful dark magic!

Finally, it was awarded as a reward to the female warrior of Triwell.

This matter once became the focus of discussion throughout the empire.

............

Looking at the rune blade in Riven's hand, Katarina gradually recalled the once-sensational imperial rumor.

What she never expected was that one day she would have the opportunity to fight this female warrior, Triwell.

"Sergeant Major Riven."

"May I interpret your current behavior as a provocation against your superior?"

Foygo gazed at the cold, runic greatsword before him and spoke calmly, without a trace of surprise in his eyes.

"Yes!"

Fryegor's words did not make Riven back down; instead, they made a resolute glint flash in her eyes.

"I, Sergeant Major Riven, challenge the Legion Commander!"

"If I win, you should go back and tell the Empire that we need fair treatment!"

"If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me!"

Riven spoke each word clearly, her tone filled with an indomitable fighting spirit.

This is a true warrior.

Riven's words caused an uproar among those around her.

The Noxian Empire encourages challenges to the strong!

Even in the military camp, soldiers who are not satisfied with the leadership of their superiors can challenge those who are stronger.

If you win, you can get everything you want.

If you lose, you have to pay the corresponding price.

Of course, even with the corresponding rules, it is rare for anyone to directly challenge their superior.

As the one who initiates the challenge, you must be strong enough.

Because the person being challenged has the right to make the rules.

For example, if a noble general is not strong enough, he can send his servants or soldiers to fight against him.

If you lose, the worst outcome is being whipped and exiled; the worst outcome is being enslaved!

After all, how can you expect to achieve great success with minimal investment without paying a heavy price?

Now, Riven's offer is considered fair.

As for Riven's challenge, Fryego had no reason to refuse.

In Noxus, using any means to defeat the enemy is not discouraged, but cowardice is the act of a coward.

"Sergeant Major Riven."

"You seem to have forgotten one thing: your challenge requests can only be made to people who are one rank higher than you."

“I am Katrina du Kkao.”

"As the deputy legion commander, I accept your challenge!"

Suddenly, Katarina flashed in front of Folyago and positioned herself against the tip of Riven's greatsword.

Yes, such a challenge of achieving great results with limited resources is not something that can be done at will.

After all, if a group of soldiers who want to win big every day chase after the legion commander to challenge him, wouldn't that create chaos?
