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

Money, of course, is the best way to pave the way.

Karthus stared at the gleaming gold coins in the suitcase, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

This time, it seems he has no choice but to take action himself.

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

Imperial Front, Nokmage Mountains.

The entire Nokmourne mountain range is actually a buffer zone between the Kingdom of Demacia and the Noxian Empire.

The Nokmourchi Mountains stretch for hundreds of kilometers and were mostly occupied by the Empire for most of the time.

The Kingdom of Demacia, on the other hand, occupied the latter half of the Nokmourne Mountains, holding a strategic position.

Bloody battles between empires and kingdoms often broke out in the Nokmarch Mountains.

Currently, the Empire's focus is on the battlefield in the north against the Freljord barbarians.

The fighting in the Nokmourchi Mountains is currently focused on defense.

Last time, General Darkwell suddenly lost his mind and ordered Amyst to launch an attack on the kingdom.

The empire suffered heavy losses due to its obvious lack of strength.

Furthermore, the Empire's army was driven back to the front half of the Nokmitch Mountains by the Dauntless Vanguard Legion.

Throughout the Empire, before Darius's triumphant return, almost no one was optimistic about the battle at Nokmourchi.

On the battlefield in the Nocmurchi Mountains, the Noxian Empire had deployed twenty warbands, with an army of less than 50,000 men.

Their opponent, Demacia, excluding the Dreadnought Legion, had about five to ten legions, roughly half the size of the Imperial army.

However, the Demacian army, which adheres to an elite policy, is far more powerful than any ordinary Noxian army.

Therefore, in terms of overall combat strength, Demacia, with its Dreadnought Legion, is definitely superior to Noxus.

Noxus has already obtained intelligence.

The entire Kingdom of Demacia was filled with jubilation and excitement following the great victory at the Nokmerch Mountains.

King Jarvan III wanted to seize the opportunity to expand his gains and push the Noxian army's defenses forward while they were at their weakest point.

To this end, he even sent Prince Jarvan IV, the next heir of the Lightshield royal family, to the front lines to boost morale.

It is foreseeable that another bloody battle will break out in the Nokmourchi Mountains almost immediately.

........

The entrance to the Nokmourchi Mountains.

A heavily damaged battle group is resting and training here.

In recent days, with Riven's help, Fryegor has gained command of the entire warband and has resumed training for the legion.

It seems like everything is going in the right direction.

But both Foygo and Katrina knew that Riven and all the soldiers were waiting.

Waiting for Fryego to fulfill his promise.

Once the Fryeglor soldiers and Riven discover that Fryeglor's promises are lies, the chapter will likely fall apart and disintegrate immediately.

Katrina was particularly worried about this, but whenever she saw Fóyego's confident smile, she could only let it go.

Ever since that moonlit night when Foygo kissed her, Katrina was somewhat at a loss for what to do for the next few days.

I don't know how to face Fryego.

It wasn't until the last two days that he finally recovered.

However, his expression sometimes looked a little unnatural.

As time went by, Riven and the soldiers' patience was gradually worn down.

Until one day.

Riven is changing the bandages of a wounded soldier in the tent.

Suddenly, the tent door was pushed open, and a soldier said to Riven with a happy expression.

"Sergeant Major! Good news!"

"Supplies and reinforcements have arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Riven finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This proves that Fóyego really didn't lie to her.

This also means that these remnants of the army have been redeemed.

Riven immediately got up and walked towards the door.

At that moment, she felt a deep sense of gratitude towards the newly appointed legion commander.

If it weren't for Folgo taking on this mess, the fate of this chapter would most likely have been to fall apart and be scattered to replenish other chapters as manpower.

After all, the Empire is not a charity. Within the Empire, which believes in the survival of the fittest, Riven was already used to this kind of situation.

.........

"Commander Li Ang has fulfilled his mission."

"These are the two thousand new recruits gathered at the Immortal Fortress, along with their corresponding food, weapons, and armor..."

Baron Levin reported everything to Feuergo with utmost respect.

·· ······Requesting flowers··· ····

"good."

Foygo praised him, secretly thinking that Karsas had a good eye for people.

Baron Levin is indeed quite capable.

Baron Levin was one of the minor nobles who was discovered and recruited into the Order of the Dawn by Karthus.

Although Fryego's identity was unknown, Baron Levin remained remarkably low-key.

After explaining everything to Feuergo, he set off back to the Immortal Fortress.

All of this was also seen by Katrina.

A struggle flashed in the girl's wine-red eyes, but in the end, she was overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness.

The impact of eighteen years can ultimately be influenced by Fóyé's few words.

.......

Soon, Riven arrived in front of Fryegwerk with seven or eight officers in black armor.

"Greetings, Commander!"

Led by Riven, everyone knelt down on one knee in front of Fryegor.

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

"Sergeant Major Riven, along with the remaining seven company commanders of the battle group, swears allegiance to you!"

"The swords in our hands are the same swords in the hands of the legion commander."

"The will of the legion commander is the will of us."

A profound look flashed in Fryegor's eyes as he witnessed Riven and the others swearing allegiance.

Riven's previous submission was merely a form of compromise.

The oath taken at this moment is the true pledge of allegiance.

Folger didn't stand on ceremony; he drew his standard longsword from his waist and placed it on Riven's shoulder.

This is the chivalrous etiquette necessary for accepting allegiance.

“I accept your allegiance in the name of Leon Gurez.”

"I promise that I will make you drink the blood of the enemy."

"And with this blood, you will forge your glory!"

As Foygo finished speaking, the warband was completely under his control.

"Please, Legion Commander, name the battle group!"

Riven raised her head and whispered to Fryego.

This is a unique military culture in Noxus, where each chapter has its own name, which is given by the current legion commander.

The battle group has had no name since the death of its former commander.

Riven's decision to have Fryego name her is also an acknowledgment of Fryego's status as the Legion Commander.

After a moment's hesitation, Foygo slowly spoke.

"Let's call it the Shadow Legion."

The Shadow Chapter, an elite chapter that would later become renowned throughout Noxus, was thus quietly established.
