Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

"Dreaus, I knew it must be you."

Quiletta took the army step and walked out from the city with the adjutant.

Her right arm was empty, only the long sword around her waist swayed as she walked.

Darius frowned and said sternly:

"Do you know how stupid what you are doing? If I hadn't happened to be in the immortal fortress, it might have been the head of the council, and there would be no sand left in this area."

"That's not just right, let him take action and turn this place into a lake." Qurieta said with an unfazed expression.

Swish!

Ding!

Xin Zhao swung his lightning-fast spear, but was stopped by Darius' faster axe.

"General Darius, she seems to be dissatisfied with the general and the Empire." Xin Zhao frowned slightly.

He put down the spear that was handed over to the battle axe and stared at the female general in front of him.

"I'll take care of this..."

Before Darius could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Quletta:

"General Xin Zhao, people like Imistan can take charge of the Reiser garrison, should I be satisfied?" Quiletta asked.

She now exudes an aura of going out all over her body, as if she wants to vent all her dissatisfaction.

"Imistan is dead." Darius said solemnly.

"...died?"

The emotions that Quletta had just brewed were blown away by these words. She looked slightly stunned, and it took a long time to recover, and sneered:

"People like him who hide behind and take credit will die?"

"He died on the road of the charge and was personally executed by the President of the Council." Darius stared at Queretta.

This matter was his problem. Knowing about Quileta at the time, he could not wait to hack Imistan to death with an axe.

However, the opponent was quickly transferred to Reese's garrison and engaged in a long-term engagement with Demacia. And he had just served as the commander of the northern line. For the sake of the empire, he endured it.

That incident was the incentive for him to join Trifali, and he was corrupted by a group of worms with no sense of honor. This was not the empire he worked hard for.

"Together we can create the ideal empire, Quiletta. As long as you plant this banner above the Noxian Black Gate."

Darius planted the flagpole in the soil and looked at the black gate built in the distance when he occupied Besilico, which was empty.

"Force, knowledge, and far-sightedness. The empire's new three laws of strength." Quileta's adjutant said solemnly.

The flag that fluttered in the wind covered the three most powerful people in the empire today.

"Is she your adjutant? I don't remember her before."

Darius looked at the short-haired woman, as if to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Infertia, my new adjutant. It was Decius, but he's... dead." Quiletta sneered on his face.

In this mockery, there was the death of Decius, but it was more of a grief for the man in front of him.

"Dead... sorry, I didn't know..."

Darius froze, the tiger's eyes flashed with pain, but it was quickly replaced by Resolute.

"Yeah, you don't know. Haha, when he died attacking the Freljord, your draft order shoved him into the frontline army."

Qurieta looked at the bright red flag and laughed miserably, with despair in her tone:

"Daraus, you symbolize the power of the Empire. But don't you understand that nothing can be changed by force..."

"Your son died. That's why you betrayed the Empire? You think only your child died on the battlefield?" Darius snapped.

In comparison, his pain will not be less than half a point than Quiletta.

However, they are fighting for their faith.

Every day there are soldiers who fall by his side. Whose sons and whose daughters are they?

He had known for a long time that no one could stay out of the war, not even his son.

"The rise of Noxus is based on countless wars, and the blood and lives of countless sons and daughters. This is the truth we realized on the first day we set foot on the battlefield. This is what you once told me." Erth's eyes were fixed on Quiletta.

His words made Xin Zhao clench the spear in his hand. Infertia of Queretta also tightened the dagger hidden in her sleeve, with a little hesitation in her heart.

Darius' firm words continue:

"Noxus has to keep expanding or it faces disintegration. There are only two paths, it's that simple."

Qurieta showed sadness and retorted fiercely:

"Dareus, nothing is that simple. We were young and the choice seemed obvious."

"What kind of choice do you want? Betrayal or planting the flag, there is no third choice." Darius said firmly, "The past dooms are over, and we should focus on the new future."

"Daraus, that's not doom, but an epiphany. I know what fighting for Noxus really means..."

"That means giving not only your own blood and life, but the blood and life of your children. Darius, Decius is more than my son!"

"He's still—"

Just as she was about to say that name, and Darius was in pain, a silver light flashed.

Ding!

The silver light was only an inch away from Quileta's neck, but it was blocked by a silver spear and couldn't make any further progress.

"Dreyer

General S, you shouldn't mind my extravagance. "

Xin Zhao's expression was indifferent, and the spear in his hand was raised upwards. The ordinary dagger flew out of Infertia's hand and stuck in the soil not far away.

Darius reacted from it, the tiger's eyes widened, and the fierce eyes looked at Infertia.

What he hates most is betrayal.

"General Darius, Quileta has forgotten the laws of the empire. We enjoy everything in the empire, and we are obliged to give our lives. She committed the death line of the empire, and you should execute her yourself."

Infertia clenched her trembling right arm and gritted her teeth against the pain.

It was the only chance just now, but she failed.

"The law of strength, there is indeed such a thing, but this is not an excuse for you to commit the following. Or..."

Darius' mind turned sharply, thinking of a possibility, and smiled self-deprecatingly:

"That's what you mean, Quiletta."

Qurieta's face was showing his death intent at this moment, and it was obvious that he had already given up death intent.

He wasn't the rash idiot of Draven, but he figured it all out when he thought about it.

The other party has no desire to live anymore. Noxus may have been a sad place for her.

Xin Zhao looked at the two in front of him indifferently. As a bystander, he could see more.

Darius didn't want to kill Quiletta, he felt guilty. But Quiletta no longer wanted to live, but he still had Darius in his heart.

In order for Darius to continue walking firmly, Quletta had only one choice: to actively choose to betray the empire, and then be killed, either at the hands of the adjutant, or at the hands of Darius himself.

Quletta fell silent when she heard Darius' words.

She is really tired. The death of her son and the amputation of her right arm made her really have no desire to fight for the Empire.

In the past, she also shed blood for the empire, but in the end, what is left of her?

War isn't just about glory, it's about endless pain.

"Really...I see."

Darius saw Quiletta's silent face, mocking himself, and slowly raised the battle axe in his hand.

He saw Quletta's choice and made his own choice.
