Chapter 256 Dreadnought: Urgot
When Hojixing left the Noxus Empire, Swain gave him another secret mission.
Enter Zaun's Trench Zone and meet Urgot.
Huo Jixing recalled Swain's expression at that time and vaguely understood the worries and fears hidden deep in his heart.
The Noxian Empire seems to have ended the dark reign of Brown Darkwill and is gradually regaining its former glory.
But there are still undercurrents surging within the empire.
The Black Rose and some noble forces are eyeing the position of leader of Noxus, intending to take charge of the Noxus Empire again.
Faced with the covetousness of many forces, the Trifari Council needs more help to assist Swain and the others in completing the transformation of the Noxus Empire.
The Dreadnaught Tank Urgot is exactly the force that Swain intends to win over.
This is also one of Huo Jixing’s purposes for entering Zuan this time.
Now hearing the punk youth's answer, Huo Jixing nodded slightly.
“Please, let me go.”
The punk youth with dyed hair suppressed the fear in his heart and carefully looked at Huo Jixing’s expression. A touch of hope rose in his heart, and he felt sad. The voice prayed.
“Are you going to round up Urgot again? I can take you directly to Sinking Hook to familiarize yourself with the nearby terrain.”
Sinking Hook!
The notorious prison mines deep beneath Zaun.
Many criminals with bad records gathered inside, and countless corpses were buried.
There are rumors that the screams echoing in Shen Gou still echo to this day.
However, as Urgot broke out of the ground, he brazenly seized control of the prison.
The imprisoned prisoners are more afraid of the new master than the former Countess of Voss.
Many prisoners began to worship Urgot fanatically as they were indoctrinated about the nature of power.
Since then, Urgot's terrifying cure has only grown in intensity, gathering a staunch following among Zaun's most oppressed.
However, his fatal trial eventually angered the representatives of the Piltover Chamber of Commerce family.
The Piltover guards had to intervene, tying Urgot up with chains and dragging him into a prison cage with copper walls and iron walls.
Even though Urgot later broke out of the prison cage again, he regarded the Piltover guards as enemies and vowed to return with revenge.
The dyed-haired punk youth lowered his face, and where Huo Jixing couldn't see him, a sinister look appeared in his blood-red eyes.
"You believe me, I once saw Urgot's fatal trial near the sinking hook."
"He is an out-and-out destroyer, endless Oppress us."
"If you can arrest him, I can secretly recruit a group of people for you."
As long as you enter Shen Hook, I will make you pay the price with your life. The punk youth with dyed hair thought secretly.
Under Urgot's influence, the prisoners in the Hook hate Piltover's people the most.
Once they encounter Piltover, they will directly attack Piltover and cut him into pieces in exchange for Urgot's reward.
Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows and looked thoughtfully at the dyed-haired punk youth, instantly understanding his inner thoughts.
The punk youth with dyed hair mistakenly thought that Huo Jixing was a guard in Pi City.
Otherwise, who from the upper city would go to the ditch area at the bottom?
Only the fearless tank Urgot would arouse the Piltover's interest.
"How can I trust you?"
Huo Jixing spoke in a deep voice, pretending to be surprised, but suppressing it well.
When the dyed-haired punk youth saw this, he was delighted. He pulled out the dagger from his waist, slit his fingers, and pointed at the hazy sky of Zaun.
"I swear in the name of Janna, I will never lie, otherwise the storm will reject me."
The bright blood dyed his fingers red, and the dyed-haired punk youth looked at Huo Jixing nervously, breathing a little quickly.
After Huo Jixing pondered for a while, he slowly spoke out.
"I believe you for the time being. If the roundup of Urgot is successful this time, I will report it to the parliament and give you a reward."
"Now take me around the sinking hook."< br>
“Yes, my lord.”
The punk boy with dyed hair learned the Piltover etiquette he saw somewhere and bowed.
Then he turned towards the surging dark green haze, his steps brisk.
Time passes slowly.
Huo Jixing, led by the punk youth with dyed hair, has long left the desolate and dilapidated streets.
What now appears in their field of vision are traces of the surface that have been severely damaged.
As far as the eye can see, potholes of different sizes are scattered all over the ground, as if this area has been bombed and destroyed countless times.
And inside these potholes, there are piles of chemical waste whose specific materials cannot be distinguished, emitting an unpleasant smell.
Under the dim light, the Zaun people wearing alchemical technology devices were walking along the edge of the pit, looking down for useful things.
For the Zaun people at the bottom, any discarded items may become a resource for their survival.
Occasionally, you can see some old robots handling corrosive and toxic liquids.
Although the robots look almost scrapped, they still stick to their posts and silently clean up the polluted land.
Huo Jixing and the punk youth with dyed hair continued to move forward, going deep into the hinterland of the ditch area.
Their arrival attracted the attention of many Zaun people hiding in the darkness.
These Zaun people stared at Huo Jixing like wild beasts, with a look of greed on their faces.
However, when they saw the punk youth with dyed hair in front of them, they hesitated for a while and did not choose to take action.
To them, the reward of a Piltover was indeed tempting.
But this place is very close to Shen Gou, the most dangerous and chaotic area in Zaun.
If the movement of action attracts the attention of the brutal thugs in Shengou, they will inevitably enter the next round of life-threatening trials.
The Dreadnought Chariot caused a reign of terror, although it was frightening.
But his presence lifted the iron boots of the oppressors and loosened the suffocating throats of ordinary Zaunians and prisoners.
Even if his final actions didn't live up to everyone's expectations, no one violated Urgot's ironclad code.
The death of anyone in Shen Hook must occur during his life-threatening trial.
"We'll be there soon."
Perhaps sensing something was wrong with the atmosphere nearby, the dyed-haired punk young man swallowed nervously and spoke in a condensed voice.
Normally, he would never get close to Shen Gou.
But this time it was about his own life, and he had no choice but to come near Shen Gou.
Fortunately everything is coming to an end.
After walking a hundred steps forward.
Huo Jixing stopped involuntarily and stared at the huge mine in front of him.
Looking from a distance, the huge potholes seem to be hideous scars on this land, which is shocking.
In the sunken pits, many buildings with Zaun characteristics were built.
Although these buildings are extremely simple, they reveal their tenacious vitality.
A dense crowd of Zaun people gathered in the pit, their faces full of enthusiasm and excitement.
Most of these Zaans, known as losers, have been transformed by alchemical technology and carry various enhancements on their bodies.
The faint light of science and technology lit up and reflected on their faces.
"Shen Gou!"
Huo Jixing looked at the scene inside Shen Gou, his thoughts rising.
Zaun also has a highly developed technological level, but it is a completely different world from Piltover.
“The dark side?”
Huo Jixing thought of the blooming flowers of Piltover, the progressive city, and compared it with the Zaun he saw now. Even though what he sees now is only the surface of Zu'an, combined with the memories of his previous life, he can see clearly.
Zu An is far darker than the picture shown now.
“Where are you going?”
Huo Jixing withdrew his gaze and looked at the dyed-haired punk youth in front of him who wanted to leave.
Hearing Huo Jixing's voice, the punk youth with dyed hair quickened his pace and ran towards a hunchbacked man inside Shen Hook.
"It's the Piltover guys, they want... ahhhh...!"
Before the dyed-haired punk youth could finish speaking, he was horrified to find that his body had spontaneously ignited.
Boom!
No more than a moment.
The red-gold flame swallowed up the dyed-haired punk youth like a fire snake and burned him completely without leaving any trace.
The Zaun people inside the hook looked at the extinguished flames and were stunned.
They all retreated, fearing that they would also be swallowed up by the strange flames.
Huo Jixing laughed softly, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
As for the punk youths with dyed hair, they are just objects to have fun on a boring journey.
Now that he has found Shen Gou, Le Lei should end his fate.
Huo Jixing then ignored the prisoners Shen Gou who were looking around and walked forward towards the hunchbacked man.
In front of Shen Gou's mine, a hunchbacked man wearing one-piece alchemy armor was looking over coldly.
There was a respirator on his back, the liquid pool was filled with bubbling green liquid, and atomized steam curled up.
“Who are you?”
The hunchbacked man asked with a faint look in his eyes.
He is different from the punk youth who has never seen the world. He once worked with Urgot to overthrow the rule of Countess Voss, so he has seen a lot.
A person who is not wearing an alchemical breathing device can walk freely in the ditch area.
"Carrying a Hex technology enhanced body, or a transcendent?" The hunchbacked man's eyes flashed.
Huo Jixing looked around at the Shen Gou prisoners gathered around him and understood that the hunchbacked man in front of him had a certain status within Shen Gou.
He didn’t waste any time, just took out the bloody token from his arms and threw it over.
This is a token given by Swain.
The hunchbacked man's eyes moved, he caught the token and looked at it casually.
He was a little indifferent at first, but when he saw the Noxus Empire mark on the token, his pupils tightened.
"Noxian?"
The hunchbacked man looked deeply at Huo Jixing and said with a sinister smile.
Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded slowly.
"Shen Gou welcomes you."
After the hunchbacked man finished speaking, he pulled the prisoner Shen Gou beside him, whispered a few instructions, and walked quickly towards the central building.
After waiting for a while.
The hunchbacked man returned and looked at Huo Jixing, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
"Lord Urgot happens to have time and agrees to meet you."
The hunchbacked man turned around and walked ahead without asking Huo Jixing.
Huo Jixing seemed to realize something and followed him calmly.
Shengou was formerly a busy mine. The remaining metal ores can still be seen on the exposed surface, reflecting the colorful colors.
Metal buildings on both sides rise from the ground, full of cyberpunk style.
Finally, Huo Jixing and the hunchbacked man came to a building that looked like an alchemy workshop.
This building is mainly made of dark green steel, with broken glass windows and mottled steel shell.
It looked extremely dilapidated, but Huo Jixing could feel the cold and solemn atmosphere exuding from this building.
“Go in.”
The hunchbacked man stopped, turned sideways, and said to Huo Jixing.
Huo Jixing pushed open the heavy iron door and entered the building.
With the dim light, he saw dried blood everywhere in the steel building.
Perhaps it has been too long, and the blood has turned dark red, forming shocking traces, silently telling the fierce battles that once took place here.
Huo Jixing thought of Shen Gou who had changed hands several times.
Although it fell into Urgot's hands, it had fought countless battles before.
Along the steel passage, Huo Jixing walked slowly forward.
Halfway through the journey, he noticed movement in his arms and saw the snow-white Poro popping up with his head peeping out.
Perhaps it is absorbing the power of the stars. It is not too afraid of the haze of Zaun, and is looking around curiously.
After a while.
Huo Jixing came to the center of a wide venue, and the hot breath filled the air.
"Noxian agent?"
A hoarse and low voice sounded, breaking the quiet atmosphere.
Huo Jixing heard the sound and saw the rolling dark green mist in the dark corner.
Boom!
The dull roaring mechanical sound came from the darkness, and a giant leg covered in iron armor took the lead to step out of the darkness.
Next came another leg, and then another.
The last thing that appeared was a ferocious face wrapped around a hose of alchemical substances, with dark green liquid flowing inside.
Dreadnought Urgot!
The Noxian Empire used to have executioners who executed the weak.
“Who asked you to come?”
Urgot's bare head touched the steel purlin, and his crazy and cold eyes stared at Huo Jixing.
Green mist rose from the metal muzzle of the right hand and was aimed at the head of the person in front of him.
“Swain!”
Huo Jixing looked up at the huge mechanical body in front of him and spoke softly.
“The usurper Swain!”
A roar like thunder echoed throughout the workshop.
Urgot's eyes turned red, the metal chain sounded, and majestic power surged in the air.
“You were actually sent by Swain.”
The huge armored legs moved, and Urgot rushed to Huo Jixing like an out-of-control tank, his eyes lowered. .
“So, are you ready to leave your last words?”
Recalling everything he experienced in Shen Hook, Urgot's eyes were full of pain and hatred.
Just one word from the Machiavellian man completely turned his life upside down.
Urgot came to Zaun on orders to disrupt an alleged plot against the ruler of Noxus.
But when he discovered that he had been tricked, it was already too late.
Meanwhile, while he was away from the capital, the usurper Swain had seized control of Noxus.
Urgot was left alone, surrounded by Alchemy Baron's spies, and dragged into the alchemy technology mine at the bottom of Zaun.
Everything he believed was a lie.
Urgot was furious about this, but at this time he was powerless.
In the end, he lost all his qualifications, lost his original body, and became what he is now.
Huo Jixing looked at Urgot, and the mountain-like mechanical body brought a terrifying sense of oppression.
"Are you sure you want to take action?"
