Chapter 25 Leblanc's Hatred Towards You Increases

Three days later, Nocturne Plain.

On the boundless plain, the city-state of Nocturne stands out. It is tall and majestic, not as magnificent as the capital of Demacia. It is more like a small city-state than a country.

As a country adjacent to Noxus and Demacia, Nocturne has certainly not had a very happy life in recent years. How can a small country live in peace between two big countries?

Therefore, Nocturne has been living in dire straits, because the warlike Noxians have never given up the idea of ​​occupying Nocturne. After all, if Nocturne can be taken, then Noxus can successfully occupy a corner of western Valoran and make better logistical preparations for the war with Demacia.

But fortunately, Demacia has never given up its allies, because Demacia also knows that the lips and teeth are cold. As the center of the two countries, Nocturne is a must-go point for the army. Its existence eliminates the possibility of Noxians wanting to attack Demacia. It is the throat of Valoran, so this place must not be given to Noxus.

And now, the envoy sent by Demacia to Nocturne said to the king of Nocturne with a relaxed face: "Please rest assured, my spy has sent a letter that a Demacia army is on the way to support. This time, Demacia has sent a total of 800 knights, 400 knights went to the front line to resist the Noxian army, 200 went to the White Cloth Kingdom, and 200 knights came to help you defend Nocturne."

The envoy of Demacia is called Hargot, an old knight with a gray beard, but he is strong and healthy, not like a civil servant at all.

Just talking about his name, he is an ordinary and somewhat strong old knight, but if you add his surname, it will be different.

Hargod Crownguard, Garen's uncle, Demacia's ambassador to Nocmochi.

And now, he is communicating with the king of Nocmochi.

"Of course, I believe Demacia will not give up on us." The king said with a smile.

This time, Noxus seems to attack fiercely, but in fact, the army of Noxus has been sent to Ionia, and attacking the west of Valoran is just the usual style of Noxus. The warlike Noxus has launched wars against all the countries with names in the world.

In the most difficult time of the war, Demacia never gave up Nocmochi, let alone now.

The two stood on the city wall, watching the plain under the guard of Nocmochi's soldiers.

Then, first a dot appeared, and then a group of dots.

Hargod narrowed his eyes, put his hand on his forehead, and looked ahead.

The dot was getting bigger and bigger. A big flag was waving in the air with a beautiful lion pattern. Hargot laughed and said, "King Mardon, please open the city gate. The warriors of Demacia are here!"

The king shouted at the same time: "Open the city gate!"

"Boom--"

Hargot and King Mardon went down the wall together and stood in front of the city gate watching the cavalry approaching.

A few minutes later, they could see each other's faces clearly.

In the front of the arrow was a black-haired man. Seeing the black hair, Hargot was shocked: "No way, did His Majesty send the steward?"

No, how could Zhao Xin be sent? !

If Zhao Xin left the throne mountain, who would protect His Majesty Jarvan III? In the past, Tiana protected the king, but now Tiana has become the marshal of the kingdom. She is busy with affairs and it is impossible for her to protect the king personally.

For this reason, Hargot was terrified.

If the royal steward came, why would he bring the knight with him? He alone can defeat an army!

But soon, Hargod saw the other person's face clearly. It was a face more handsome than the steward's. Ionians generally have delicate appearances, and this face is even more outstanding, full of immaturity.

Soon, he arrived in front of Hargod and the king.

He got off the horse and said loudly: "I am Rowan, the temporary sword captain this time. May I ask who you are?"

Hargod looked at Rowan with a strange expression. Nokmerchi was very far away from Demacia. The cavalry spies sent messages back and forth, and they often sent important things, not gossip and trivial things. Therefore, Hargod did not know this person, but he could be a sword captain, even a temporary sword captain, and he must be strong.

So, Hargod stepped forward and introduced: "I am Hargod of the Crown Guard family, and this is the king of Nocturne, Marton Murchi."

King Marton looked at Rowan's young face and did not doubt Rowan's strength because of his age. Instead, he said generously: "Nocturne thanks you for your support, Mr. Rowan."

"You're welcome." Rowan nodded to King Marton, and then looked at Hargod.

Crown Guard Family. So who is this person from Garen and Lux?

"Okay, this is not the place to talk. Put your army in place. I have something to say." Hargod said loudly again.

Rowen nodded, raised his hand and waved, and all the soldiers dismounted and led their horses into Nocturne.

Rowen looked at the city of Nocturne curiously. Although it could not be compared with Xiongdu, it was also a commercial country. As the junction of several places, Nocturne often had traveling merchants from Freljord, traveling merchants from small countries, and even merchants from Demacia.

Therefore, small but sophisticated, this is Nocturne, its interior is very prosperous, and its economic strength is not bad.

Otherwise, it would not be the delicious meat in the eyes of Noxus.

A moment later, in the palace, Rowan looked at Hargot, and saw that although he was an ambassador, he had also become an important figure in Nocturne. For example, now, although it is obviously a national affair of Nocturne, Hargot can interrupt and even give a command.

"No, the front line does not need the support of Nocturne's soldiers. Fighting with the Noxians is our Demacia's mission. King Marton, you can stay in the city and wait for the end of the war."

Hargot immediately rejected King Marton's proposal to send soldiers to support the front line.

"Okay, but just watching, Hargot, I really feel uneasy." King Marton said with a wry smile.

Every time Noxus encounters something, the big brother Demacia is the first to rush to help. For example, this time, although only 200 soldiers were sent, it seems very few, but in fact, every soldier of Demacia can fight ten with one.

These two hundred people, from mounts to equipment, are all good products, especially the armor they wear, shining with silver luster in the sun. These are not Demacia's miscellaneous soldiers, but elite soldiers.

Both are powerful countries with similar national strength, but the two countries' war methods are completely different. Noxus takes the number first, while Demacia strives for excellence.

Therefore, these two hundred knights can be used as two thousand people.

"It's a bit too polite to say this." Hargot smiled, blew his gray beard, looked at Rowan, and said: "Captain Sword, do you have anything to say?"

"Everything is up to you, I won't make a decision." Rowan said to them.

He knows his mission. He is just a thug. It's not his turn to use his brain.

"Then take a rest first. You have worked hard on this journey. Take a good rest first." Hargod nodded and said.

King Marton also sent a minister to arrange it. Nokmochi prepared tents for the soldiers to rest early. Although it was a bit simple, it was better than sleeping on horseback in the jungle.

So, Rowan followed the minister out.

But as soon as he walked out, Rowan was stunned, and then turned his head to look at a corner suspiciously.

Rowan only saw the back of a woman who looked like a royal maid, carrying a plate and walking towards a room.

[Leblanc's hatred towards you increases]

[Leblanc's current hatred value is one star]

"."

"Damn?"

Rowan opened his mouth wide.
