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

Exquisitely beautiful and breathtaking.

Perhaps this is the only way to describe this sword strike.

Nothing could stand in the way of this sword light.

Trees, rocks, steel...

Anything that dares to stand in the way of this sword light will be cleaved in two!

The level of this sword strike is probably at the peak of the legendary realm below demigod.

While not fatal, it would certainly be enough to give Duquesão a run for his money.

Folgo deliberately limited his strength and did not use his full power.

This is because Fóyego did not intend to kill Du Cácáo here; keeping him alive would still be useful.

Du Kekao dared not stop for a moment; he simply ran forward without looking back.

But all of this was ultimately in vain.

"Uh-huh!!!"

The sword light finally struck.

Du Kekao gritted his teeth and charged forward.

"Crack!!!"

After Du Kekao and Jian Guang clashed, besides the towering trees that had collapsed all over the ground, all that remained was a pool of blood and half a bloodstained arm.

Duquesão had already abandoned his pawn to save his king and disappeared without a trace.

Clearly, Du Kecao paid the price for this sword strike by losing an arm.

Chapter 128, Those who offend our Dezhou will be punished no matter how far away they are!

After Du Kekao left, Katrina finally succumbed to her severe injuries and fainted.

Folgo gave Katrina a deep look, then picked her up and headed towards the Shadow Chapter.

.........

A solemn atmosphere of impending great battle permeated the entire Nokmitch Mountains.

This oppressive and somber atmosphere cast a shadow over the hearts of every soldier.

Once the war fully begins, no one knows if they will live to see tomorrow.

In the center of the plains of the Nokmourchi Mountains, countless military camps, all uniformly white, are arranged in a well-organized manner.

The entire military camp was divided into ten square formations, surrounding a circular tent in the center.

In the military camp, a squad of silver-armored soldiers would occasionally patrol the camp diligently.

In the central circular tent, a discussion about the course of the war is currently taking place.

There were thirteen people in the tent.

The one leading them was a woman who was nearing middle age.

The woman wore a majestic silver-white plate armor. Although the vicissitudes of time had etched some marks on her face, they only made her imposing aura even more inviolable.

Tiana. Crown Guard.

The current Grand Marshal of the Kingdom of Demacia is also the contemporary head of the prestigious "Crownguard" family.

The Crown Guard family is a household name in Demacia.

A family of generals for generations, a family full of loyal martyrs!

This is the best interpretation of this family!

Thanks to their past glorious achievements and immense prestige, the Crownguard family wields extraordinary influence in the Kingdom of Demacia.

Even the heir to the Kingdom of Demacia, Prince Jarvan IV, was sitting beside Tiana, not in the main seat.

This demonstrates Tiana Crownguard's influence and prestige.

On the other side of Tiana was a burly young man with short black hair.

The young man was dressed in heavy armor of gold and white, and held a finely crafted greatsword in his hand.

The master craftsmen of Demacia are world-renowned, and the weapons produced by these master forgers are generally of the highest quality.

The greatsword in the black-haired youth's hand is the Stormblade, a masterpiece created by several master blacksmiths in Demacia through painstaking effort!

The black-haired youth was clearly no ordinary person to possess a weapon of such a level.

—Garen, the Crown Guard!

The next heir of the Crownguard family, and also the nephew of Grand Marshal Tiana Crownguard.

Similarly, Garen is also the swordsman captain of the Demacian elite vanguard.

The Swordmaster of the Fearless Vanguard holds a military rank second only to the Grand Marshal in the Kingdom of Demacia.

Unlike Noxus's diverse "Warband culture".

The Demacian army has a strict hierarchy and rigorous discipline.

After all, Demacia is a country with extremely high moral standards.

As soldiers, they are naturally subject to greater constraints.

In Demacia, teams typically consist of ten people, led by a team leader.

Fifty men form a company, which is commanded by a company commander.

A brigade of two hundred men was commanded by a brigade leader.

Ten battalions form a legion, which is commanded by a legion commander.

Marshal is the supreme commander of the Demacian army.

However, there is one exception among them: the Fearless Vanguard.

Fearless Vanguard – a legion composed entirely of Silver-level powerhouses!

The Dauntless Vanguard is normally composed of a thousand men, half the size of a regular legion, and is commanded entirely by the Dauntless Vanguard's swordsman captain.

On the battlefield, the fearless vanguard's reputation is enough to instill fear in anyone.

His commander also holds an extraordinary position within the Kingdom of Demacia.

Apart from the three people sitting in the main seats, the remaining ten people were the ten legion commanders of the Kingdom of Demacia in this war.

Ten legions, 20,000 soldiers—this was almost all the forces the Kingdom of Demacia could muster at that moment.

This also shows the determination that Demacia has put into this battle!

Unlike Noxus, Demacia's army follows an elite path. Every Demacian warrior undergoes rigorous military training and possesses a high degree of collectivism and a strong sense of honor.

On the battlefield, it is common for a Demacian legion to be able to deal with two or three Noxian legions.

Therefore, Demacia needs to spend a huge amount of military funds on its army every year.

The standing army of the Kingdom of Demacia numbered less than 50,000.

This also includes the garrisons in various cities, the Imperial Guard that protects the capital year-round, and so on...

As the archenemy of the Kingdom of Demacia, the Noxian Empire's standing army is estimated to be between 200,000 and 300,000.

Overall.

Although the Demacian army was highly disciplined and had strong fighting capabilities.

However, it was still firmly suppressed by the empire.

This has led to Demacia primarily adopting a defensive strategy in past battles.

On several occasions, the Demacian Kingdom, which was at a disadvantage, was almost driven out of the Nocmurchi Mountains.

Fortunately, the Demacians always manage to turn the tide of battle with their willpower at crucial moments.

At this time, thanks to the incompetence of the Imperial General Darkwell.

For the Kingdom of Demacia, this was a rare situation in decades where they held a military advantage.

After investigation, Tiana has obtained intelligence that the enemy's army consists of fewer than 50,000 people.

Despite having a numerical advantage, Demacia still holds a significant advantage in terms of actual combat strength.

........

"Generals, all of you here are the backbone of the kingdom."

"I won't go into the significance of this battle for the kingdom."

Tiana glanced at everyone present, but didn't linger on any one person.

Although the Kingdom of Demacia never initiates aggression, who wouldn't be furious after being suppressed and beaten for so many years?

Not to mention that Demacia's previous king, Jarvan II, was brutally murdered by the Noxians.

The blood feud and national hatred need no further explanation.
