Chapter 269 The Power of the Noxus Empire
Sinking Prison.
The huge sunken mine is like a wounded beast, silently licking its wounds.
The surrounding metal buildings, once strong barriers, were in ruins and defeated under the attack of the Alchemy Baron Alliance.
The sound of steel echoed.
In the jagged buildings, there are prisoners busy in the ruins.
Their figures looked extremely heavy in the dim light.
The prisoners tried to use broken parts and discarded metal materials to construct some fortifications that could defend against attacks.
On the street where Huo Jixing and Dornier passed, they would see the wounded curled up from time to time.
They relied on the cold building behind them, their expressions were pale, and they groaned in pain.
Everyone's eyes were full of fear and helplessness, as if they could foresee an inescapable fate.
Seeing Donil come back, the Zaun people along the way cast hopeful glances.
Following the general trend, many prisoners and criminals want to join the Alchemy Baron Alliance.
But they forget their identity.
Most of the Zaans who follow Urgot are guilty.
Even if you seek refuge in the past, you cannot wash away your past sins.
“Is the gap so big?”
Huo Jixing noticed that the prisoners and criminals were helplessly hugging each other, as if they had completely lost the courage to resist.
In the past, they were known for their bad personalities and ruthless methods.
However, when facing the attack of Gorask Industry and the Alchemy Baron Alliance, they were like fallen leaves swept by the storm and could not resist.
Whether it is the alchemy technology enhanced body or the number of people, Shengou Prison is at an absolute disadvantage.
Even in such a pit of despair, they still have a glimmer of hope.
It is the hope for Urgot.
I prayed in my heart that this fearless chariot would lead them out of the desperate situation.
The central area of the sinking hook.
The alchemy laboratory that was damaged in the previous battle has been rebuilt.
Walking into the laboratory, the strong smell of alchemical chemicals filled the air, mixed with the smell of rust spots, making people frown.
Under the dim light, Huo Jixing saw Urgot who was covered in scars.
He is standing in front of a complex alchemy workbench, his right hand covered with potions and alchemical substances of different colors.
The wound on the bare upper body shone with a dark green light, indicating that the power of alchemical substances and potions was at work.
Two of his six armored steel giant legs, which symbolize strength and majesty, have lost their power cores.
The inlaid cannon was also severely damaged, the muzzle was scorched black, and it was no longer as powerful as it once was.
The chain gun wrapped around his waist is Urgot's most effective weapon. It is now slightly broken, with dark green traces appearing near the chain gun.
It is the burn marks left by a long period of venting firepower, telling the story of the horrific battle.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Urgot turned his head and met Huo Jixing's eyes.
Urgot was never afraid of death and believed that pain and death were the secret treasures of Zaun.
But after getting the opportunity to return to the Noxus Empire, he wanted to return to his homeland to see the glorious land deep in his memory.
“How do you feel?”
Huo Jixing walked over, looked at Urgot’s scars, and chuckled softly.
Everything was a chain reaction caused by his killing.
Upon hearing this, Urgot looked at his alchemy body, a hint of powerlessness appearing in his deep eyes.
After a long time, he once again tried the power of the Machiavellian.
The forces that I operate in the trench area are too weak in front of Gorask Industry and the Alchemy Baron Alliance.
Facing their attack, we can only defend Shengou Prison.
Urgot couldn't help but recall the memory of his past, when he first came to Zaun and accidentally exposed his identity.
The Alchemy Baron's spies surrounded him and dragged him into the alchemy technology mine at the bottom of Zaun.
Urgot lowered his eyes and looked at Huo Jixing, breathing a little heavier.
If the Noxus Empire was behind him, he did not believe that Gorask Industries and the Alchemy Baron Alliance would dare to attack him.
"Haha, I will make them scared."
Urgot's attitude is still tough and unscrupulous.
Even though he was severely injured now, there was no flinching in his eyes.
He stood in front of the alchemy workbench, like an unshakable mountain, never retreating.
Hearing Urgot's stubborn words, Huo Jixing shrugged his shoulders, his eyes condensed, and a flash of green light appeared out of thin air.
The energy of Donghua Yimu!
In the laboratory, a continuous green drizzle fell and fell on Urgot's broken body.
They beat like green elves, slowly repairing Urgot's wounds.
Under his skin, life seemed to be crawling, and the damaged muscles and blood vessels were growing again.
The giant legs embedded with armor also slowly regained their strength under the green drizzle.
However, the metal devices belonging to alchemy technology are somewhat powerless.
Urgot felt his injured body healing rapidly, and his eyes could not hide the look of surprise.
Although the green drizzle was gradually disappearing, he clearly felt the return of his own strength.
Such a healing ability is by no means comparable to ordinary extraordinary abilities, and is far beyond his imagination.
After dealing with Urgot’s scars, Huo Jixing spoke.
"There is not much time. Deal with the affairs of the Sinking Hook Prison as soon as possible, and then return to Piltover with me."
"Okay."
Urgot spoke respectfully, summoned Donil, and began to deal with the affairs of Shengou Prison.
Although he was a little confused about Huo Jixing's decision, he was not in a hurry to ask.
This time facing Gorask Industry and the Alchemy Baron Alliance, he has already seen the reality clearly.
Shengou Prison is a chaotic place after all, so we can’t wait any longer.
Therefore, Urgot decided to follow Huojixing's order and go to Piltover, where he had been imprisoned, after finishing handling the affairs after Sinking the Hook.
Dornier is Urgot's right-hand man and knows everything about the situation inside the hook.
With his help, Urgot quickly took care of the matters at hand.
Huo Jixing looked at the busy Urgot and Dornier, and walked away from the alchemy laboratory.
[Suzaku·Red Eyes and Fire Eyes]!
Huo Jixing rose up from the clouds and stood in the sky, his eyes filled with red-golden light.
I saw the gutter area covered with haze in Zaun, and many clouds rising.
The Huoji star swept across, but there was no magenta cloud representing Lenata.
“Isn’t it in the ditch area?”
He put away the red-golden light and shook his head gently.
“It seems that I am going to visit the richest man in Zaun.”
As the decision-maker behind Gorask Industries, Lenata is definitely not an easy person to deal with.
Her wisdom and methods have almost made the current Zuan one.
However, the problem of Shengou Prison is not very troublesome to Huo Jixing, and there are many ways to solve it.
But under the current tight time and situation, Huo Jixing decisively chose the simplest way.
Zuan, mid-level plaza.
In the alchemy workshop area of Gorask Industry, a towering castle stands like a steel giant.
After the previous Eye of Zaun attack, the area around the castle was heavily fortified.
At each intersection, there is a dedicated person to conduct interrogation and identity verification of people entering and exiting.
Interior of the castle, laboratory.
Leonata is standing in front of a huge glass cover. Her eyes were focused and deep, staring at every detail of the biochemical poisonous mist rolling inside the glass cover.
Until the poisonous mist stopped, a look of satisfaction appeared on her face, which was an affirmation of her careful preparation of the poisonous mist.
Then she turned to look at the decanter suspended beside her, moving her fingers lightly.
The decanter received the command, immediately made a trembling sound, and began to move slowly.
Its movements are precise and elegant, perfectly embedded into the valve port on the glass cover.
This seemingly simple process actually requires extremely high precision and skill.
Buzz! Buzz!
After the decanter was inserted into the valve port, the magenta poisonous mist surged in the glass cover.
With the emergence of huge suction, the poisonous mist slowly poured into the decanter, turning into a solid liquid and bubbling.
This decanter is undoubtedly the crystallization of Lenata's alchemy skills.
It perfectly completes the refining and transformation of poisonous mist.
Ta!
As if the decanter was full, it automatically left the glass cover and returned to Lenata's side.
Looking at the weapon in front of her, Lenata touched it gently, a burning color flashed in her eyes.
This decanter built by myself will bring unprecedented power to Gorask Industry.
Afterwards, Lenata left her laboratory.
She has one more thing to deal with.
Click! Click!
The sound of metal machinery sounded.
Leonata's fingers formed the only key, inserted into the customized keyhole, and opened the heavy door.
"Mei Wu!"
As soon as she walked out of the laboratory, Lenata saw her housekeeper.
"Mrs. Gorask."
Mei Wu lowered his head respectfully, bowed and spoke.
“The battle in Shengou Prison has reached its final stage. Do we want to completely clear out those desperate people and criminals?”
"Urgot!"
Leena's eyes narrowed as she thought of the big guy in Shen Gou Prison.
In the previous battles, he caused many casualties to Gorask Industries.
"Has the news I want confirmed?"
Mei Wu was silent for a while, looked at Lenata in front of him, and said with a slightly hesitant tone.
"It can be confirmed that Urgot was once the executioner of the Noxus Empire and was secretly sent to Zaun."
"But whether he still has contact with the Noxus Empire now, we can't find any useful information. News. "
The Noxus Empire, a behemoth entrenched in the north of Zaun.
It has always brought tremendous pressure to surrounding countries and forces.
Although it did not directly invade Zaun and Piltover.
However, the small countries and forces that disappeared one after another nearby were all victims of the iron heel of the Noxus Empire.
The powerful military strength and expansion ambitions of the Noxus Empire have long been silently told.
At the same time, the people of Zaun and Piltover felt unprecedented pressure.
The most important thing is that the current prosperity of Zaun and Piltover is inseparable from the Noxus Empire.
The victory of every war of the Noxus Empire not only brings glory and wealth to the Noxus Empire, but also brings huge amounts of trade to Piltover, which controls the east-west waterways.
These trade activities not only promote Piltover's economic prosperity, but also bring indirect benefits to Zaun.
Leena looked at the glazed mirror in the room, and her face was reflected in the neat and smooth mirror.
Although according to her intelligence information, the Noxus Empire suffered a defeat in the Ionian battlefield and fully reduced its military strength.
But the strength it has shown in the past is too terrifying, far beyond what Piltover and Zaun can contend with.
This is also the reason why she has not killed Urgot yet.
"Is there any news from Piltover?"
Lenata asked aloud, her eyes flashing.
She thought of the Piltover councilors she was working with, who had been paying close attention to the situation in Zaun.
Mei Wu shook his head slightly and replied helplessly: "Not yet."
She knew that this was not the answer Lenata wanted to hear, but that was the fact.
Piltover seems to be cautious about the current situation, and is also investigating something secretly.
“Hmph!”
Lenata snorted, looking unhappy.
Obviously, these Piltover councilors wanted to test Urgot's situation.
They want to know the current situation of Zaun, but they are unwilling to get involved directly.
You know, in the previous Zaun uprising, Urgot killed the representatives of the Piltover Chamber of Commerce family.
The final result was that Urgot was tied up with iron chains and dragged into the Piltover Cage with iron walls.
“You go down first.”
Lenata’s eyes flashed, signaling Mei Wu to leave.
When Mei Wu's figure disappeared from sight, she looked at the window sill and spoke in a solemn voice.
"Come out."
Lenata looked calm, but gently tapped her metal fingers to express her inner uneasiness.
Pop! Bang bang! Bang bang!
The fog cleared.
Huo Jixing clapped his hands and walked down from the sky step by step.
"As expected of Lenata!"
Ignoring the buzzing alchemy instruments around him, he walked up to Lenata.
Different from all the Zaun people Huo Jixing has seen.
Lenata gives the impression that she is among the elite of Piltover.
Whether it is the white suit that is incompatible with the dirty Zaun, or the many exquisite enhancements he carries.
Rumor has it that every item in Renata's collection is tailor-made, elegant, and expensive.
Including the things she used to kill people.
Seeing Huo Jixing suddenly appear, Lenata looked frightened.
The suspended decanter beside him glowed with a magenta glow, and the liquid enclosed inside fluctuated.
“Who are you?”
Lenata stared at the handsome young man in front of her, thoughts in her heart.
Although the target has no extraordinary aura, she can confirm that the other party is a powerful extraordinary person.
If the target hadn't actively exposed his aura just now, she wouldn't have been able to detect his presence.
"Huo Jixing, advisor to the Myrdalda family."
Huo Jixing spoke softly and raised the corners of his mouth when he saw Lenata's expression change.
"At the same time, he is also a high-ranking officer of the Noxus Empire."
When she heard about the Myrdalda family, Lenata's expression seemed a little indifferent.
She is very familiar with the strength of the Myrdalda family. As the top powerful person in Piltover, its influence is undoubtedly huge.
But this is the core area of Gorask industry, her castle, and her territory.
Until she heard about the Noxus Empire, Lenata's expression condensed and she looked steadily at Huo Jixing.
"Are you here for Urgot?"
"Yes."
Huo Jixing nodded. Chatting with smart people is very simple. Lenata quickly guessed his arrival. Purpose.
