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

In the ensuing battle, Fóyego did not actually intend to make another move.

After all, he didn't intend to reveal too much, and the Shadow Legion's combat strength was more than enough to handle the situation.

...........

Apart from a group of fearless vanguard soldiers covering the rear, the other soldiers had already left through the narrow passage behind them.

This also includes Zhao Xin, whose fate is unknown.

As the fearless vanguard swordsman captain, Garen, dragging his exhausted and depleted body, stood at the entrance to the narrow passage, buying time for the retreating warriors.

As they gained the upper hand, the morale of the Shadow Legion soldiers soared, each one like a howling wolf, charging madly towards the fearless vanguard at the rear.

At this moment, these warriors, led by Garen and covering the rear, are like a small boat on a vast ocean, in danger of capsizing at any moment.

"Swordsman, ya!"

"Go away!"

"We'll cover your retreat!"

A fearless vanguard warrior forced back a shadow soldier with a single sword strike and roared at Garen beside him.

"Yes! Swordsman, you must go!"

Another soldier from the Fearless Vanguard shouted, but the next moment, a long sword pierced through his chest.

Garen was furious, but with his energy depleted, he could only engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy before him.

With his energy depleted, Garen can only face a pincer attack from three to five Shadow Soldiers at most.

He could only watch helplessly as one comrade after another fell before him.

"No!"

"I will fight you to the very last moment!"

Garen roared to the sky and swung his Storm Sword with all his might.

As the swordsman captain of the fearless vanguard, he could not possibly abandon his warriors here and run away alone.

Seemingly sensing Garen's resolve, the dozens of fearless vanguard warriors present exchanged glances, recognizing the resolve in each other's hearts.

"I have no regrets about being born into Debon in this life, and I will still be a Debon citizen in the next!"

"Demacia!"

Several fearless vanguard soldiers lined up side by side, unleashing their full fighting spirit and launching a suicidal charge.

The Silver-ranked warrior unleashed a devastating burst of power, instantly repelling the overwhelming onslaught.

Thanks to the narrow terrain, this suicidal charge actually managed to briefly halt the pursuit of hundreds of Shadow Soldiers.

However, this suicidal charge is like a wave in the ocean, unable to create any waves.

Soon, these warriors died under the siege of the Shadow Soldiers.

"Quickly, Swordsman!"

One of the fearless vanguards roared again, and then several soldiers launched a suicidal charge.

This fearlessness bought Garen a few seconds.

With tears in his eyes, Garen no longer hesitated.

They knew that doing so would only waste the soldiers' sacrifices.

Garen gritted his teeth, turned and ran into the tunnel.

Seeing Garen leave, a sense of peace and determination flashed in the eyes of the remaining dozen or so fearless vanguard warriors.

Silver battle aura began to surge wildly, revealing that they too were planning a suicidal charge.

This time, however, their targets were no longer the soldiers of the Shadow Legion.

Instead, it's the mountain wall on the side of the passageway.

This insane act of crashing one's body into a mountain is filled with a tragic and heroic spirit.

"boom!"

The impact of the dozen or so Silver Warriors burning everything actually caused the mountain wall of the tunnel to collapse.

The scattered rocks concealed everything.

This also included their corpses, whose bodies were buried as the narrow tunnel entrance was covered, halting the Shadow Chapter's pursuit.

Even Fryego, witnessing this tragic scene, couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

To be honest, of all the nations and city-states in Runeterra, Demacia has the highest favorability rating.

In any case, Demacia's fairness, at least in the eyes of Leon in later generations, was superior to Bilgewater's chaos, Ionia's traditional conservatism, and Noxus's selfishness.

Demacia's fair and just legal system brings greater benefits to its people's lives and happiness.

Even though Demacia has its own hidden darkness, it is still much better than other city-states.

Only in a nation like Demacia can warriors like the Fearless Vanguard be cultivated without the aid of external forces.

Well, it's just a few small fish and shrimp, it's no big deal to let them go.

Consider it leaving a way out for others, so that we can meet again in the future.

The real big fish has now been caught in Fryego's net.

A profound look flashed in Foygo's eyes.

Demacia, we'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with them in the future.

...........

Katarina did not appear throughout the entire battle, so where did she go?

The answer is—the most crucial and safest place.

Without looking back, Jarvan IV quickly retreated along the passageway.

He absolutely cannot die here! Nor can he be captured by the enemy!

Aside from the fact that he, as the crown prince, could not afford to have any accidents, there was also the fact that he had to quickly deliver the news of his failed flank attack strategy to Tiana.

Moreover, the other side possesses such a terrifying legion!

This is something that Tiana must also know.

Even considering the most prudent options, Demacia could withdraw its entire army.

Even if Demacia defeats Noxus, the losses on the battlefield would be unacceptable.

Having figured everything out, Jarvan IV, even more recklessly, ran forward.

Suddenly, he stopped.

A slender and beautiful girl with long, fiery hair sat on a rock not far away, fiddling with a dagger in her hand.

The leather armor worn by the girl was exactly the same as that worn by the Shadow Legion soldiers.

And it's more high-end and refined.

Jarvan IV's face turned deathly pale instantly. At this moment, his body was completely empty, and he had no strength to resist.

Katrina suddenly stood up and gave a charming smile.

This beauty, like a rose in full bloom, was something Jarvan IV was destined to have no time to appreciate.

"We've been waiting for you, 'Big Fish'."

A flicker of excitement flashed in Katrina's eyes.

Jarvan IV clearly had no desire to speak with Katrina; he could only silently tighten his grip on the Halberd of Atama.

Without uttering a single wasted word, Jarvan IV intended to strike first to seize power.

Dragon crashes!

Atama's spear instantly extended and stabbed towards Katrina.

To this, Katrina simply gave a charming smile.

Chapter 139, Every Step Was a Scheme

ten minutes later.

Katrina looked at Jarvan IV, who was bound like a dumpling and beaten to a pulp, with contempt in her eyes.

He calls himself the Prince of Demacia, but he turns out to be a complete idiot.

It has to be said that Katrina's behavior has a bit of a "talking the talk without walking the walk" feel to it.

After all, Jarvan IV had first experienced a bloody battle on the battlefield, and then he had used up his ultimate ability.

This means that Katarina ambushed Jarvan, who had no ultimate, no mana, and no summoner spells, so victory was only to be expected.

Furthermore, with Folgo having just received the power of ruin, Katrina's strength had increased significantly, which is why she was able to defeat Jarvan so easily.

Katrina proudly raised her head, and for some reason thought of Fóyego again.
