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

But he wanted to use Gures to catch a bigger fish.

And now, General Amyst is very likely to be this "big fish".

Chapter 122, A Pawn Who Wants to Be a Chess Player

Because Du Kekao knew her far better than Amystine had imagined.

She is a selfish woman.

Unless absolutely necessary, she wouldn't repeatedly favor Gures simply because they were both in the same noble faction as her.

He was just a fallen nobleman; how could he possibly deserve such effort and dedication from Amyst?

There is only one explanation left—they have a deeper connection.

Originally, Du Kekao only had doubts, but now he is at least 70% certain.

Emistan is likely a member of this mysterious organization.

Now, all the suspicions are focused on this man named Leon Gurez.

Behind the scenes, Du Kekao had already sent people to investigate.

The man named Leon Gurez had a completely blank life before.

Even the name itself is difficult to trace.

But the more it is like this, the stranger it becomes.

Intuition told Du Kekao something inexplicable.

Leon Gurez, this man harbors a great secret!

Soon, Amyst's war council ended, and the chapter leaders began to mobilize their troops according to Amyst's instructions.

Du Kekao, like a bat lurking in the shadows, slowly disappeared into the camp.

His reason for personally going to the front lines this time was not actually for this war in which they were at a disadvantage.

He had a deeper purpose.

The more Du Kekao investigated this mysterious organization, the more alarmed he became.

Although the situation on the front lines is dire, to put it bluntly...

The war between the Empire and Demacia has been going on for so many years, when has anyone ever seen one side completely crush the other on the battlefield?

Even Du Kekao believed that losing the battle wouldn't matter much; at worst, they could retreat to the entrance of the Nokmourchi Mountains.

However, if this force is allowed to continue to corrupt the Noxian Empire in the shadows, the empire's future will likely be utterly bleak.

...........

Seven days before the storm arrived, the entire Noxian military camp was silent.

"Boom!!!"

A clap of thunder shattered the silence of the night sky.

Before long, a downpour began to fall on the ground.

"Crackling crackling..."

Du Kekao sat in the dark tent, listening to the raindrops hitting the tent roof, seemingly waiting for something.

"Boom!!!"

Another thunderbolt flashed.

Through the pale light of the lightning, it was striking to see that another person had appeared in the pitch-black space inside the tent.

This person's appearance was like a ghost, but Du Kekao showed no surprise whatsoever.

Because the person he was waiting for had arrived.

Rainwater dripped from the person's clothes onto the ground, making a "drip-drip" sound.

"Not bad, there has been some progress."

Du Kekao's hoarse voice echoed in the tent.

Despite this rare praise, Katrina was not happy.

Indeed, it was Katrina who visited on this stormy night.

"Father."

Katrina bowed her head and greeted Du Kekao respectfully.

"Tell me, how is the mission progressing?"

Du Kekao's tone was devoid of any extra emotion, and there was no extra warmth despite being addressed as Katrina.

In the shadows unseen by Du Kekao, Katrina gritted her teeth.

But in the end, a hint of helplessness flashed in her wine-red eyes.

"yes........"

Katrina responded.

She began to report in detail to Du Kekao on Fouyego's every move after he arrived at the front.

Upon hearing that a minor nobleman had provided Feuergo with a large amount of supplies, Du Kecao's eyes narrowed sharply.

"who is it?"

When confronted with Du Kekao's questions, Katrina did not hide anything.

"It should be a minor nobleman named Levin."

Upon hearing this, Du Kekao remained silent, his serious and rigid old face momentarily showing some uncertainty.

"okay, I get it."

"You may leave now and continue with your mission."

Finally, Du Kekao waved to Katrina, dismissing her.

Katrina didn't linger any longer and got up to leave immediately.

Du Kekao was left alone in the dark space, deep in thought.

After a long time.

Du Kekao suddenly stood up and waved into the darkness.

Another figure appeared in the shadows.

Clearly, this person had remained in the dark tent the entire time, and Katrina had not noticed his presence earlier.

And being in such a crucial position, this person naturally enjoys more trust from Du Kekao than Katrina.

"Talon, return to Immortal Bastion immediately."

"Find out everything about this Levin!"

Du Kekao gave the order to Talon.

"Yes."

The moment he received the order, Talon vanished from his spot.

It was exactly the same ability that Katrina had just used—the Du Kekao family's secret technique, Instant Step!

Talon was not only more valued by Du K'Ao than Katrina, but he was also more like an assassin.

After doing all this, Du Kekao sat there and squinted his eyes.

"Katarina, you mustn't let me down."

In the darkness, Du Kekao slowly closed his eyes.

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

At the Shadow Legion's base.

With the great battle to begin tomorrow, Folyago was inspecting each of the tents.

Before long, he arrived at the entrance to Katrina's tent.

As the deputy commander of the legion and a woman, Katrina was naturally entitled to have her own tent.

Foygo knew perfectly well that Katrina was not among them at that moment, but he still entered the tent without hesitation.

In Katrina's 360 tent, although the lights were on, it was empty.

Foygo slowly raised his hands, and a wisp of black mist slowly appeared. He reached out and pulled out a bottle of wine with a bright red color from the black mist.

With another flick of the wrist, two crystal-clear glass cups appeared on the table.

The crystal-clear wine was slowly poured into the glass, and Foygo waited quietly while inhaling its aroma.

He naturally knew what Katrina had lost.

After all, Du Kekao's motives were all too obvious; he sent his own daughter to his side for no reason.
