Chapter 505 Wilson’s Situation The Varrocan Family’s Choice
Iron Thorn Mountains, Diver Fort.
Although the invasion of the bear monsters ended in failure.
But the rugged mountain road in front of the castle is still full of traces of the war.
Many broken corpses of werebear monsters covered the snowy mountains, and the dirty black blood destroyed the white world.
There used to be flames burning here, but now there are only ashes all over the mountains and plains.
As the cold wind howled, the ashes were blown all over the mountains and corners of the city walls.
Near the ruins of the city wall that collapsed due to the violent impact of the flesh-and-blood bear, war masons would appear from time to time.
They were covered with heavy fabrics, holding hammers and chisels, and focused on embedding huge stones into the new city wall.
These war masons are very skilled in their craftsmanship, as if rebuilding the city wall is nothing but a piece of cake for them.
Every hammer blow lands exactly in the predetermined position.
Each huge stone is embedded in the wall extremely cleverly and is closely connected with other stones to form a solid defense line.
Occasionally, they would direct Noxian soldiers to move rocks and clear rubble.
Although they were facing extremely cold and icy weather, they could not stop the Noxian soldiers from sweating.
Everyone understands that only by rebuilding the city wall can they protect their homes from invasion and resist the next attack by the bear monsters.
Over time, new walls gradually took shape and stood between the mountains.
On the watchtower of the city wall, the crimson imperial flag fluttered in the wind.
Kled and Wilson stood side by side, looking at the rolling ice and snow mountains in the distance.
Three days ago, Wilson led the battle group to arrive at Fort Diver in a mighty manner, and took over the defense of Fort Diver, clearing out the werebear monsters wandering nearby.
"Is something going to happen to Mr. Huo Jixing?" Wilson said slightly worriedly.
Before his arrival, Huo Jixing had been away from Fort Diver for quite some time, but until now, no news of him had come back.
After hearing Wilson's words, Kled gently patted Skaar as he stepped down and said with a smile.
“Don’t worry, that kid is very cunning and will not let himself fall into danger easily.”
The relationship between Kled and Huo Jixing can be traced back to the second world of Freljord. During the First World War, Huo Jixing had already shown extraordinary talent.
He felt reassured by Huo Jixing, thinking that no matter what problems he encountered, he could always find a solution.
"You should think about how to deal with the Varrokan family now." Kled looked at Wilson with deep meaning.
“Retreat in the face of battle and abandon the position.”
“According to the laws of the empire, no matter who you are, you must be punished with death!”
Kled’s words were firm and powerful, as if Declaring an irreversible fate.
“Back off and abandon the line of defense.”
Wilson repeated this sentence in a low voice, with a hint of hoarseness in his voice.
Of course he knows the strict laws of the empire.
Those legal provisions are like sharp swords, hanging over the head of every noble, and may fall at any time.
Especially after the Trifali Council was formed under Swain, many legal provisions were modified, resulting in few nobles daring to openly violate the law.
Because that means not only the destruction of an individual, but also the destruction of the entire family.
But the Varrokan family's status is very special within the empire.
For nearly a thousand years, the Varrokan family has been king in the Druver Castle for generations, providing war weapons to the empire and being an important pillar of the empire's northern border.
If Wilson wants to impose the death penalty on the Varrocan family, it will inevitably affect the situation on the northern border of the empire.
Therefore, he understood that once he made a decision, there was no turning back.
"Now that the enemy is facing us, we need to"
Kled chuckled, seeing the hesitation in Wilson's heart, and directly pointed out his difficulty.
“Don’t tell me, you need to answer to the Empire, to those Noxian soldiers who died in the battle, not to the Varrokan family.”
Kled’s coldness The words hit Wilson's heart like a heavy hammer, making him look embarrassed.
Kled stopped talking and turned to look at the Diver Fort behind him. The city that was once devastated by war has regained a little bit of life through the efforts of everyone.
His eyes turned to the towering Varrocan Castle, a cold look flashed in his eyes.
Kled hates nobles.
In the wars he has experienced, he often encounters timid nobles.
They are greedy for life and afraid of death. When encountering the enemy, they will abandon their soldiers and citizens, or even flee directly.
Of course, they will eventually taste the ax in Kled's hand.
This is why Kled strongly supported Swain after he launched a one-night coup and became the leader of Noxus.
Swain, like Kled, had long seen the difficulties the Noxus Empire had faced.
Only changes from the inside out can make the Noxus Empire prosper again.
However, this time things are indeed special.
Kled was very curious about why the Varrokan family decided to retreat due to the situation at that time.
Wilson suppressed his inner emotions and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Huo Jixing was not here, although he was allowed to temporarily act as the commander of the battle group.
But compared to Huo Jixing and Klie, his status is indeed not high, and matters involving the war group can be handled.
But Wilson must consider the possible consequences of the Varrocan family's retreat.
This includes whether the defense capabilities of the Northland border will be weakened, and the public's view of the balance between noble privilege and responsibility.
And in view of the special status of the Varrokan family, Wilson needs the full support of Kled and other chapter generals.
"I have sent an order to the Varrocan family to make an explanation to the Empire about retreating and abandoning the defense of the city wall."
Wilson looked at Kled and continued after carefully wording his words. .
"They will send someone over later. If General Kled has nothing to do, we can come together."
"Yes, I will go with you." Kled nodded and replied.
Huo Jixing is not here, and he really needs to show his power to prevent the Varrocan family from turning against the guests and causing unnecessary killings.
Varrocan Mansion.
In the conference hall, luxurious curtains blocked the sunlight, and a dull atmosphere filled the room, making the room appear dark and depressing.
The old orderly officer Varrokan sat in the main seat, his brows furrowed and his expression as cold as water.
His eyes flashed with a trace of imperceptible worry and cruelty, as if he was thinking about some important decision.
Alyssa sat at the end, holding her head high, looking at the two brothers, Oram and Shilok, sitting on both sides of her father.
Shilok on the left is her eldest brother, who is slightly thinner. He is the future successor of Fort Diver and shoulders the honor and responsibility of the family. He also looks grim.
Oram on the right is Alyssa's second brother, responsible for the defense of Fort Diver.
Compared with Shilok, Oram is tall and mighty, with a strong back and a strong waist. He is a good swordsman. Although Oram was only born a few minutes earlier than Alyssa, he was two steps closer to the throne of Diver Castle.
Alyssa knew her position very well.
Oram noticed the gazes of his father and eldest brother, and looked very impatient.
Although he was responsible for the defense of Fort Diver, the incident of retreating from the battle was approved by his father.
In the end, the main responsibility still lies with him.
Now we have to push him out and give Wilson an explanation.
This is something Oram cannot tolerate.
He believed that he was the heir of the Varrokan family and an ordinary war group commander, and had no right to question him.
Compared to them, Alyssa behaved relatively indifferently, hiding her contempt and hatred deep in her heart with a mask of indifference.
If it had not been for Oram's retreat, the people in the Diver Fort would not have been massacred by the bear-man monsters, and the soldiers under her command would not have suffered heavy losses.
"Father, if you want me to tell you, just leave it to any attendant. What else do you need to explain to them?"
Oram couldn't stand the dull atmosphere in the conference hall, so he casually said He opened his gorgeous collar and said angrily.
He wanted to continue complaining, but under his father's cold eyes, he had to shut up.
"Father."
Hilok suddenly spoke, and the deep voice clearly reached everyone's ears, attracting the attention of everyone present.
He looked at Varrokan, Oram, and Alyssa, with a ruthless look in his gloomy eyes.
“The one attacking Fort Diver this time is the legendary werebear monster. We have reached our limit in being able to resist it for so long.”
"The situation was very urgent. I left before the battle, not to escape the battle, but to protect the hope of Fort Diver."
His tone paused, as if he was recalling the tragic battle.
"After all, there are indeed many people who fled in the mansion. They are innocent, which is also our strong evidence."
When Varrokan heard this, a look of relief appeared on his old face.
Hilock's two or three simple words turned the death sentence from retreating into retreating.
And its purpose is to protect the future hope of Fort Diver.
As for the people who fled, it was the Varrocan family who collected a huge amount of wealth and accepted them into their mansion and castle.
Hilok's words became a weight to protect himself.
This is the beauty of words. Shilok used his eloquence and wisdom to successfully free the Varrokan family from a passive situation.
Maybe even earn more trust and respect.
While they were continuing to discuss, there was a crisp knock on the door.
"Lord Varrokan, the empire's battle group has sent people over, urging us to send people over immediately."
Hearing the butler's voice, Varrocan looked at the one he chose. The heir, Shilok, obviously left this matter of retreating in the face of battle to him.
Hylok was also sloppy, looked at his Oram and Alyssa, and said with a chuckle.
"Go over there and remember what we just said. You must characterize the matter as leaving before the battle."
"Don't worry, I know what I know."
Oram stood up, with a look of arrogance on his rough face, not caring about this meeting that seemed to be a trial.
The power and status of the Varrokan family is at the northern border of the empire, and no one can shake it.
Oram and Alyssa saluted Varrokan and left the conference hall.
The butler has already arranged everything so that the identity of the Varrocan family will not be lost.
Wait until the sound of Oram and Alyssa's footsteps gradually faded away and disappeared from their ears.
In the conference hall, Shilok's eyes were firmly fixed on Varrokan who was in the main seat, worry flashed in his eyes.
"Father, will the empire be aware of our secret actions?"
Under the current situation of the empire, as long as their contact with Black Rose is exposed, what will greet them will be the destruction of their families. ending.
“Don’t worry too much, Shilok, this is the Diver Fort, the empire will consider our attitude.”
Varrokan's cloudy eyes flashed with a sharp look, confident that he could easily control the empire's attitude.
They are the people of Diverburg, and they have the blood of being kings for generations.
This is not only a symbol of status, but also a sense of pride and superiority deeply rooted in the bone marrow.
In Valrocan's view, Diver Castle is not just a piece of land, but also the embodiment of the Varrocan family's unremitting efforts over the centuries.
"The Diver Fort is the Diver Fort of the Varrokan family. The empire wants to judge the Varrocan family according to law."
There was unquestionable firmness and indifference in Varrokan's voice, as if they were declaring their eternal sovereignty over this land.
"Haha, they will definitely see things they don't want to happen."
"For example, the Varrokan family completely turns to the Black Rose, or the Winter's Claw tribe on the opposite side."
“They have always hoped to get the support of the Diver Fort and use it as a gateway to invade the northern territory of the Noxus Empire.”
Hearing this, Shilok fell silent. With the Black Rose gradually declining and being in the frozen soil of the ice sheet, he is more optimistic about the current Noxus Empire.
However, many laws promulgated by the empire seriously affected the interests and power status of the nobles.
There are some reasons why Black Rose can continue to be active within the empire despite the encirclement and suppression.
"The Winter's Claw tribe is not a good choice."
Suddenly, a low voice came from the shadows in the corner of the conference hall.
Walrokan and Sirok heard the sudden sound and looked over quickly, with a fierce look in their eyes.
I saw a figure wearing a black robe with a rose mark engraved on his chest walking out.
The eyes on the hood glanced at Varrokan and Sirok, and said softly.
“We have received news that the Winter’s Claw tribe has begun to migrate, preparing to leave the area of the Ursine tribe and end this war.”
“Now the enemy facing Dredge Fort is full of force. The empire will not take action against you for the time being.”
He paused for a moment and looked at Sirocco.
Varrokan is the late dusk, and Shilok is the rising sun, who is about to become the new master of the Varrocan family.
"Attached is a secret message for you. The old god Volibear has fully recovered, and it is estimated that it will not be long before he launches a full-scale attack on the Diver Fort."
Sudden news that the old god Volibear has fully recovered. Sirocco looked gloomy at Bell's news.
This is news that the Varrokan family is unwilling to face.
The family records fully describe the tragic scenes caused by the battle between gods.
Even if the Noxian Empire were to win by then, it would probably leave Dredgefort in ruins.
"What do you want?"
