Chapter 456: The Death of the Black Rose of Sion, God of War of the Undead
Inside the majestic castle.
The bright yellow firelight swayed, reflecting the environment inside the castle.
The frenzied crows danced their wings, and the mottled light and shadow danced on the wall, as if guiding the direction forward.
In the dark city gate corridor, Swain was walking leisurely in front, with a calm expression, as if everything was under his control.
Huo Jixing and Darius were half a body behind and followed step by step.
After crossing the castle, they came to a small circular square with a gurgling fountain in the center.
In the capital city where every inch of land is at a premium, people are crowded shoulder to shoulder. Such a waste of space, only the senators and nobles of the empire can own such a castle.
Huo Jixing looked at the fountain pool. The clear spring water turned silver under the moonlight.
The fountain sculpture in the center of the pool seems to be carved from the black stone of [Knoxtra].
The appearance is of a veiled noble lady holding a black staff, standing in a sea of roses, lifelike.
The spring water flows around the sea of roses, like the center of the world.
A flock of frantic crows left the fountain, soared in the air, and landed on different styles of buildings in the castle.
The buildings in the castle do not follow the current Noxian architectural style.
It is a fusion of architectural trends from different periods in the past few hundred years, which looks very strange and special.
Among all the buildings, the most eye-catching one is the main castle.
Just its majesty makes it look the most gorgeous, giving people the impression that it is the stamen of a flower.
Huo Jixing felt that every angle of the main castle was showing outsiders a dark era that the empire had lost.
All the windows of the main castle were closed, and only a faint light shone brightly inside an iron double door, like a beacon in the darkness.
A flock of eating crows hovered over the main castle, casting strange shadows, and then slowly fell on an iron double door.
They swept their black wings and combed their clean feathers, like black ghosts. They lowered their blood-red eyes and stared coldly at the red-textured door.
The double doors were half-open, as if the arrival of Swain and others had been anticipated.
Dim light poured out from inside, illuminating the hazy faces of everyone.
Darius's eyes flashed, he stepped past Swain, and immediately directed the soldiers of the Trifali Legion to enter the double doors.
The scorching torches dispelled the darkness, and the soldiers of Trifali Legion poured into the main fort, pushed open the door, and saw an empty passage behind the iron gate.
The walls on both sides are engraved with patterns from the ancient times of the Noxus Empire, telling traces of forgotten history.
These patterns depict a scene that appears to be from tribal times, with the ancient Noxians performing sacrifices around a woman wearing a rose.
Her figure is elegant and mysterious, surrounded by many believers.
"Sure enough, our movements aroused the alarm of Black Rose, who guessed in advance that we would come and directly shrink the castle's defense force."
Darius received the information reported by the soldiers of Trifali Legion. , turned around and said in a deep voice to Swain and Huo Jixing.
"It seems that they are preparing to counterattack through the underground passage."
Swain nodded slightly, his eyes were deep and sharp, and he pointed at all the forces surrounding the castle, as well as himself and Huo Jixing.
"You are the commander now, and everyone present will obey your orders."
His voice was calm but powerful, giving the Noxian hand in front of him the greatest authority.
Darius grinned when he heard this, a violent look flashed in his black wolf-like eyes, and his smile revealed a trace of cruelty and coldness.
I don't know whether it was due to the invisible influence of the violent fragments, or whether the killing in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
Darius's eyes were full of enthusiasm, looking forward to the battle.
“Let’s not go in yet, let those guys come out and get some air.”
Darius controlled the influence of his emotions very well and ordered the soldiers of Trifali Legion who were waiting beside him. said.
Under his order, the soldiers of the Trifali Legion quickly turned and ran towards the rear, steel chariots covered with black cloth and guarded by special personnel.
The soldiers of the Trifali Legion directly lifted the black cloth, revealing what was hidden inside the steel chariot.
They are three-meter-tall bloody warriors wearing armor and holding sharp weapons.
Bloody Warrior!
The war weapons of the Noxus Empire are a further symbol of military power.
These war weapons are not just simple weapons, they are a perfect combination of black magic and technology.
However, the earliest concepts and creation of war weapons did not come from Noxus, but from Zaun.
This underground city that coexists with Piltover has been completely distorted by the misuse of magic and technology.
Countless infamous horrific technological and magical inventions were born here.
Because of Zaun’s hazy environment, unique survival rules have been developed.
For the sake of life and wealth, many people voluntarily become experimental subjects, handing over their destiny to unknown technology and magic.
The vast majority of losers died completely on the experimental platform.
The remaining defective products were kicked into the sinking hook prison at the bottom.
Only a small number will become qualified war weapons or technological transformers.
War weapons are monsters created by black magic and technology.
When the upper echelons of the Noxian Empire saw the potential of weapons of war.
They directly used their power to obtain the core technology of war weapons.
And finally used their extremely good witchcraft and black magic to completely transform and perfect it, creating their own horrific war weapons.
For the Noxian Empire, nothing matters except violence and the willingness to use violence.
And this is most vividly reflected in war weapons.
Every manufactured war weapon is a mobile killing machine.
They exist to unleash fear on the battlefield and cause mass killing.
The Noxus Empire began to use a large number of these war weapons in war.
And they used war weapons as human battering rams to attack the walls of hostile countries, leaving ruins and death wherever they went.
The Bloody Warrior is the ace war weapon of the Noxus Empire.
They lost their reason and emotions, but gained very powerful power.
Together with the undead war god Sion, they formed the feared Noxian Bloody Vanguard.
“The purge is about to begin!”
Darius looked with satisfaction at the bloody warrior behind the stationary steel chariot. This is the powerful force to cleanse the black rose.
He stretched out his right hand and waved gently.
The waiting soldiers of the Trifali Legion immediately understood and activated the strange runes engraved on the chariot. The bloody glow lit up and dotted the night.
The bloody warriors who had been motionless slowly opened their bloody eyes the moment the runes lit up.
The ferocious bloody helmet is worn on the ugly head of the bloody warrior, and the red eyes are full of bloody madness.
Their bodies are as majestic as mountains, covered with ancient silver and red armor.
The sharp barbs hang diagonally on the shoulders and knees, glowing with a sharp cold light, which can tear the enemy's body at any time.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The bloody warriors stepped off the steel chariot with heavy and chaotic steps, and lined up in front of the double doors, preparing for the upcoming battle.
The group of bloody warriors in front of me, there are ten in total, which happens to be the standard squad configuration of the bloody vanguard group.
Darius's eyes swept across the bloody warriors in front of him, and he knew that tonight's battle was destined to be extremely fierce. The Trefari Legion is the ace battle group directly under Darius.
In order to avoid excessive casualties, he specially carried war weapons, bloody warriors.
In addition, there is also the largest steel battlefield yet to be opened, which is the ultimate war weapon of the Noxus Empire.
"Destroy their hiding place!"
Darius pointed to the double doors, roared, and gave the order to attack.
After hearing the order, the bloody warriors immediately took off the sharp battle axes on their backs and rushed towards the dim underground passage without hesitation.
As the bloody warriors charged, this gorgeous castle trembled faintly.
Huo Jixing was keenly aware of the magical power emerging from the passage and the sound of the crossbow piercing the air.
Black Rose secretly arranged many means in this specially left passage to prepare to destroy the invading enemies.
After the cup of tea.
The trembling castle gradually fell silent.
Swain led Huo Jixing and Darius into the underground passage.
Their footsteps echoed in the empty corridors, intertwined with the cries of the frantic crows, weaving an eerie melody.
Huo Jixing noticed that the walls on both sides of the passage were damaged, marks caused by bloody warriors.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, the dull sound of thunderous footsteps came from deep in the passage.
He is a bloody warrior who has returned from completing his mission.
Huo Jixing looked over and saw their armor-clad, indestructible bodies covered with traces of magic, as well as powerful crossbows and arrows.
As he sensed, there were many traps set up in this underground castle, waiting for their arrival.
Unfortunately, these traps seem somewhat futile in the face of war weapons created by black magic and witchcraft.
Darius stopped and looked at the damaged bloody warrior in front of him, frowning slightly.
He looked at Swain, then lowered his head and began to think, as if he was weighing some important decision.
After a while, he gave a few instructions to the soldiers of the Trifali Legion beside him.
Huo Jixing was a little curious and followed the back of Cui Fali's soldiers.
They headed to the last steel chariot covered with black cloth, giving orders in unison and pulling the black cloth at the same time.
Wow!
The black cloth fell, and Huo Jixing looked at the familiar figure that came into view, his eyebrows raised.
Undead God of War Sion!
A metal object shaped like a dagger is inserted diagonally on the hideous and ugly head, and the crimson strip of cloth at the tail dances in the wind.
There seemed to be two points of scarlet light in the eyes, flashing with the intention of crazy killing. The thick crown from Jarvan I penetrated the chin and combined with the terrifying face.
Looking down, the black and red half-armor was bolted to the body, and the red armor belt around his waist was as eye-catching as crystal.
The partially exposed pale flesh has a sense of decay and death, similar to a recently deceased corpse.
On his legs, strong armor connects the muscles, like severed limbs, which are patched together to create the beauty of steel.
Annie looked at the huge monster in front of her and held Huo Jixing's hand slightly nervously.
Sion does look a bit scary, and his body is far stronger and taller than the Bloody Warrior.
The crazy and agitated bloody aura is like a rising flame, lingering around the figure.
Huo Jixing comforted Annie and watched Sion's recovery.
"No more chains? Free!"
Crazy self-murmurs suddenly sounded, and the bloody aura surrounding the body slowly changed, seeming to be suspended like a ghost, bringing a suffocating sense of depression.
“Crush!”
“Kill!”
“Death!”
Sion roared angrily, and the bloody aura suddenly expanded, covering the area around the steel gate.
Wait until Sion has finished venting his inner emotions.
He looked at Darius and Swain, the look of madness on their ferocious faces never diminishing.
Sion only remembers some fragments of his life, and even fewer memories after death, but there is one fact.
He was very familiar with the two people in front of him.
"Is there something wrong with letting me out so urgently?"
Darius' expression remained unchanged, ignoring the bloody aura of Sion's arrival, and raised the black cutter in his hand.
“The Empire needs your help!”
In Sion’s mind, the scattered memories he retained pieced together to form a clear picture of the Black Cutter.
This was a weapon that once belonged to him. It was Sion's closest companion. It accompanied him through countless smoke-filled battlefields.
Witness his legendary journey from Noxian soldier to Hand of Noxus.
Sion struggled to look back at himself and remember who he once was.
He is the last representative of the proud martial culture of the Noxian Empire.
The martial culture has been passed down since the founding of the Noxus Empire.
Sion once swore to his ancestors that he would never take a step back on the battlefield, and that when his death came, he would die with honor.
While Sion's career as Hand of Noxus lacked any subtle tactics, his fighting style was brutal and efficient, with each strike filled with strength and determination.
At that time, Sion won many victories and glory for Noxus.
The empire's military power has also reached a peak never seen in hundreds of years.
Sion suppressed the madness in his heart, looked at the new Hand of Noxus, and chose to carry out his orders.
He walked towards the bloody warrior in front of him, stood at the front of the team, and strode forward.
Under the leadership of Sion, the bloody warriors became increasingly restless, eager to kill.
The purpose of their creation is to use fighting to prove their worth.
In the dark passage, following the footsteps of Sion and the bloody warriors, the whimpers of the frenzied crows were heard frequently.
These crows are messengers of death, and their shrill cries make people shudder.
For Sion and his warriors.
This was just a prelude to the battle, a prelude to the massacre they were about to embark on.
Gradually, Swain, Huo Jixing and others went deep into the depths of the underground castle.
"Huh?"
Huo Jixing's eyes flickered, and he could faintly smell danger.
[Suzaku·Red Eyes and Fire Eyes]!
Red-gold flames filled his eyes, and Huo Jixing noticed that the air was filled with unknown energy.
"Is this the breath of the underworld?"
