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

Tiana spoke calmly, her face showing no pain of failure or separation, only a resolute and unwavering determination to bear everything.

Chapter 141, Demacia, glorious in death!

"Do not!!"

At this moment, Garen also realized what Tiana meant.

He growled in pain.

On this day, Garen lost his glory, his monarch, his friends, and was about to lose his loved ones...

"Listen to me, kid."

"Your future is long, but I am already on my deathbed."

"One day, you will take back everything you have lost today."

Tiana's tone softened, shedding her air of a grand marshal and becoming a kind elder.

"No, how can I let you go alone..."

The word "suicide" stuck in Garen's throat, and he couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Garen, the Swordsman!"

"I'm not kidding you."

"As the Grand Marshal of Demacia, I order you to lead the entire army to retreat from '373'!"

"The First and Second Legions will stay behind to cover my rear!"

"After the retreat, you will lead the entire army to abandon the plains and retreat to Nokmourch Canyon!"

Upon seeing this, the kind and gentle expression on Tiana's face vanished instantly, replaced by a commanding tone and a serious expression.

"Yes......."

Garen responded to Tiana's command with a pained voice, tears streaming down the face of this resolute man.

"Execute the order, Garen, the Swordsman."

Tiana turned her back, leaving Garen with only a resolute and determined silhouette.

Seeing Tiana's resolute attitude, Garen gritted his teeth, turned around abruptly, and went to carry out Tiana's order.

What he didn't see was that Tiana, who had turned her back, had eyes full of reluctance and pain.

Tiana is human too, so how could she not feel lost and pained in this situation?

However, some things always have to be borne by someone.

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

It must be said that the Demacian army has strict discipline and strong military skills.

They experienced initial defeat, collapse, and scattering.

Soon, the Demacian legions in the rear began to organize a counterattack and defense, but the strength of this counterattack was negligible, though it did prevent the line from collapsing further to some extent.

With their strong will and large numbers, they managed to hold off the Shadow Legion's offensive for a time.

Folgo closed his eyes briefly to sense the number of Demacian troops, then mentally calculated the numbers.

"That's about it..."

Folyago thought to himself.

"Contract your defenses and cease pursuit."

Suddenly, Foygo gave an order to the soldiers of the Shadow Chapter. The soldiers of the Shadow Chapter were somewhat confused, not understanding why Foygo would give up such a good opportunity to attack.

However, under the influence of the power of ruin, those who regarded Folyago as a god still resolutely carried out Folyago's orders.

In an instant, the Shadow Legion transformed into a defensive circle, creating a large space for blocking attacks, which provided the Demacian army with valuable time.

The Demacian legions also moved quickly in response.

The soldiers of the two legions, led by Tiana, held off the pressure from ten Noxian warbands at the front.

Of course, such behavior is undoubtedly suicidal.

These two legions, combined, have less than four thousand men, yet they face an enemy ten times their size.

Before long, these two legions will be completely annihilated by Noxus.

Most of the Demacian soldiers flanked the Shadow Legion and retreated, clearly preparing to withdraw.

Only a small number of Demacian soldiers are still engaged in combat with the Shadow Chapter.

Because the Shadow Legion suddenly contracted its formation and switched to a defensive posture, the Demacian army's retreat was not significantly disrupted.

The battlefield is ever-changing.

After leaving another thousand men to hold off the Shadow Legion as a price,

The Demacian side left a total of 5,000 men to cover the rear, and then began an orderly retreat.

Before long, all one thousand Demacian soldiers had been wiped out by the Shadow Legion.

At this point, the battlefield had been divided into four sections.

At the forefront is Noxus, whose entire army is pressing forward.

Next came Tiana, who led two legions to cover the rear.

Following Tiana was the Shadow Chapter, which maintained its defensive formation.

Finally, it was the main Demacian force that withdrew from the battlefield, led by Garen.

After withdrawing from the battlefield, the main Demacian army clearly had no intention of lingering and quickly retreated.

For a time, only Tiana was left to be attacked from both sides by the Shadow Legion and the main Noxian forces.

Faced with the retreat of Demacia's main force, Fiorio showed no intention of pursuing them.

Instead, he ordered the Shadow Legion to launch a surprise attack from the rear on the two Demacian legions used to cover the rear.

Under these circumstances, it was no surprise that the two legions led by Tiana were completely annihilated.

.........

A ray of the setting sun shone on this cruel battlefield.

Blood had already stained the land crimson, and under the pale glow of the setting sun, the battlefield appeared even more devastating...

Tiana's hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.

She couldn't remember how many enemy soldiers she had killed, nor could she remember whether the blood on her body was her own or that of the enemy.

As Tiana gazed at the light of the setting sun at dusk, only one thought occupied her mind.

"Garen must have already left with his warriors."

Yes, Tiana did everything she could to buy Garen a little more time to retreat.

It was this belief that kept Tiana fighting until dusk.

Only a few Demacian soldiers remained around Tiana.

Without exception, they were all soaked in blood.

Tiana looked up and around, and saw that countless Noxian soldiers had surrounded them.

At this moment, even birds probably wouldn't be able to fly away from here.

Even the Noxian soldiers, known for their recklessness, could not show the slightest disrespect to Tiana before them.

He was a respectable enemy and a great commander.

Not all commanders possess the unwavering resolve to stay behind and cover the rear at crucial moments.

"Surrender."

"You will be treated favorably by the Empire."

A Noxian chapter leader spoke slowly.

Given Tiana's special status, surrendering would certainly save her from death.

"Hahaha!!!"

But to everyone's surprise, Tiana suddenly laughed, a particularly hearty and unrestrained laugh.

"Demacia, though dead, are honored!"

3.4 She roared to the sky, like a lion fighting a pack of wolves and roaring defiantly as it faced death.

"Demacia, though dead, are honored!"

The few remaining Demacian soldiers echoed Tiana's shout, raising their longswords, their eyes filled with an indomitable fighting spirit.

"charge!"

At that moment, Tiana raised her longsword and led the soldiers behind her in a final charge.

Before them stood thousands upon thousands of North Korean enemies.
