The sudden attack forced the dragon in the sky to start moving quickly. Occasionally when it was hit, the dragon would let out a painful scream. In order to protect its wings, Iva could only choose to tighten his body and smash into the woods in the distance like a weight.

Enoch looked at Garen beside him. He did not forget the extra request made by Lady Tiana. He had now brought the dragon down from the sky. Next, he just had to arrange the guards to slowly kill the dragon that had landed on the ground to complete the commission.

However, the Demacian soldiers in charge of defense on the city wall were the first to jump out without waiting to confirm the situation, charging forward with swords in hand. This disrupted Enoch's deployment and he urgently stopped the bombardment of rockets and anti-aircraft guns. In the chaotic situation, the possibility of destroying friendly forces was much greater than destroying the dragon.

"Your Highness Jarvan?"

Enoch asked the prince beside him, "It's a bit too early to rush forward now."

Jarvan IV did not react, but the guard behind him growled. Shyvana turned around and disappeared from the dim bunker, rushing towards the outside of the city wall. Not long after, bursts of roars were heard in the distance, and dazzling flames emanated from the depths of the woods.

"Damn it!" Enoch cursed inwardly, he didn't expect the situation to turn out like this again. That was a giant dragon, and Enoch was not going to send out soldiers for close combat unless he weakened it until it was only left with one breath.

"Don't worry," His Highness Jarvan comforted Enoch, "I believe in my soldiers, they are brave and fearless."

Bravery and fearlessness are of no use, Enoch slandered himself secretly. Judging from the result of the attack just now, the dragon's defense was amazing, and there were only a few places that could be cut with ordinary swords, unless the warrior dared to take the risk of getting into Iva's belly.

Enoch nodded indifferently and said, "Anyway, he is not my man, as long as you are happy." He turned around and winked at the girl. Jinx understood and happily swung her braids to the side to contact the follow-up troops in the air.

It's time to let Big Bird fly.

Chapter 184: The Hundred-Armed Giant Aegaion

The first batch of soldiers who rushed forward suffered heavy casualties. The poisonous blood of the giant dragon Iva mixed with the raging flames easily cooked the besieging soldiers like barbecue.

The evil dragon Iva had indeed received serious injuries, but that did not mean that she was so weak that she was about to die. On the contrary, the wounds on her body aroused the brutality in her blood, and her huge body rolled on the ground with flames and poison, clearing a large area of space in a few seconds.

The subsequent bow and arrow shooting further aroused her brutality.

"How dare you use these ridiculous toys against me?" The dragon roared, hoarse like iron felt hitting a branding iron. These little things seriously angered her. She admitted that she was injured by the empty artillery just now, but that didn't mean these arrows could do the same thing.

If I can’t deal with the anti-aircraft machine guns, can I deal with you?

Iva needed some time to catch her breath. Now that the bugs had surrounded her and the roar in the distance had quietly disappeared, she naturally didn't mind playing with these ignorant little guys for a while.

Iva enjoyed the soldiers' screams. She generously forgave the humans for their offense to her. If their screams had sounded more pleasant, she would even have considered whether she should praise these little guys for their hard work.

However, her mood soon took a turn for the worse. She had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the smell coming from afar. It was not until the purple-skinned insect rushed in front of her that Iva realized that this was her child, the stolen, cursed child.

"You damn bastard!" Iva immediately set the entire area on fire in anger, and with a sharp whistle, his tail blew away Shivanaya, who was unable to dodge. However, the next second, a creature that looked like a dragon man rushed over and knocked the evil dragon to the ground.

"What a lively opening!" Jinx couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the scene coming from the sky. She secretly glanced at Enoch who was still excited. Jinx sighed in distress. She now felt very sympathetic towards Little Finger. Maybe she would be better in the future?

Enoch had no idea that he was being treated as an ignorant and obedient child. He and His Highness Jarvan were enjoying the sight of the giant beasts in the flames attacking each other, but they were probably thinking completely opposite things.

Prince Jarvan was very worried about the Demacia soldiers and the lady who rescued him. This dragon was too much pressure for them.

Enoch was mostly excited, because this was a real fight between giant beasts, not to mention that they would use some tricks like dragon breath after fighting. This rare scene satisfied all of Enoch's fantasies about monsters. This trip to Demacia was really worth it.

He was too immersed in the work, and it wasn't until Jinx handed the tablet to Enoch and nudged his ribs that he realized, "Your Highness Jarvan, would you consider letting your soldiers retreat first? They have suffered heavy casualties. Let me complete this mission."

Concerns about casualties overwhelmed Jarvan's pride in honor, and the retreat order issued in the name of the prince was quickly implemented. In the end, only the first two dragons were still fighting. Sometimes it was Shyvana's power that overwhelmed the evil dragon Iva, and sometimes it was the evil dragon with more hunting experience that overwhelmed the half-dragon.

In any case, the balance of victory became tilted because Shyvana had to use all her energy to cover the wounded and leave. With several big holes on her back, Shyvana slowly returned to her human form. Before she could dodge, the thick dragon tail lashed her side like a flail, and the smaller dragon girl flew out in an instant, falling into the deep forest in the distance, her life or death unknown.

"It's our turn." Looking at the giant dragon that was raising its head and roaring alone in the distance, Enoch started the follow-up preparations without hesitation. A huge beam of light fell from the clouds in the sky, like lightning thrown by the gods in the palace. A ray of light instantly pierced through the calm sky, and the raised dust covered the dragon's traces.

"We call this attack 'Whisper'" Enoch raised his eyebrows, looking at the screen that had become unstable due to the shockwave, and introduced his masterpiece. "When it starts to speak, everyone should listen carefully."

The clouds in the sky kept rolling, and a huge shadow slowly emerged. The wings of a giant bird made of steel cut through the clouds and slowly flew towards the outpost. The fighter jets flying around lowered their altitude along with the giant bird. The metal under the wings of the giant aircraft continued to stretch and deform. The drones it carried fell down and drilled into the battlefield where the dust had not yet completely dissipated. From a distance, it looked like a rain of deadly steel.

"The heavy air cruise control aircraft, the Hundred-armed Giant 'Egaion', has a wingspan of more than 960 meters, is equipped with more than 20 anti-aircraft turrets and 7 long-range missile silos, and is powered by 24 Hex engines. The internal hangar can accommodate two squadrons of fighters, or carry four groups of drone attack clusters and two teams of 'swarms' of small drones. It is equipped with a pulse laser turret on the belly and a deflection shield on the top... It is a guardian roaming in the sky, a mobile base."

"When her wings gather up the storm and cut the sky, peace follows closely behind."

The drone flew into the smoke like a bee. After a while, the huge flames pushed away the surrounding smoke, and the roaring dragon gradually became quiet. The only sound on the field was the whistling sound of the flying dragon.

"I didn't originally plan such an awkward ending. Aegaion was not in the plan, but... I need ground troops to finish it off." Enoch switched the intercom to the internal channel and handed it to the prince. "Please notify your guards to execute the brutal dragon."

The ferocious dragon Iva could only lie in the big pit after the smoke dissipated, with one wing hanging limply on his body and only broken bones left on the other side. The big hole on his lower back oozed dark blood again and again with his heavy breathing.

There were no evil dragons around now, and she could only helplessly watch the little bugs that she had never even looked at in the past rushing towards her with sharp blades in hand. The giant dragon in distress took a deep breath, and she was ready to use her last dragon breath to send the fool who dared to offend her into the burning hell.

But she had no chance, as the returning Shyvana blocked the gushing dragon's breath first. Under the scorching flames, Shyvana let out a loud roar, twisted off the evil dragon's huge head, and held it high up as the blood flowed.

"What a brave lady! I wish my champion could be as brave as her. I remember she hasn't visited me yet. This is really rude." Enoch sighed, opened the closed door of the Intelligence Command Center, and turned around to entertain the serious Prince.

"I guess the lord will often reward his warriors at this time... The banquet is ready." Enoch bowed exaggeratedly. "By the way, the flying objects in the sky are our Losrien's business secrets. Your Highness, please remind your men to keep it confidential. Thank you very much."

Chapter 185: Laxana's Secret

"The operation has been completed perfectly according to your request. Perhaps the only flaw is that the dragon's head was not chopped off by the upright, handsome and far-sighted prince himself?"

Enoch clinked his glass with the woman in front of him with some satisfaction. This commission was completed well. It would be even better if he could leave a deep impression on these conservative tin cans. Only with stable customers can the products be promoted better.

"Very good, His Majesty Jarvan also mentioned your combat performance, and he had high praise for your troops." Tiana drank the carefully selected wine in the glass quite seriously, but she had no intention of tasting it.

"It's nothing. This is what we should do. Atlas' service is worth every coin of the employer. It is absolutely value for money." Enoch secretly mentioned the huge debt incurred by this escort battle. Since Lady Tiana had made a heroic plan in advance that as long as the prince was rescued, there was no need to worry about the bill, then Enoch certainly did not need to save any budget for him.

Enoch admitted that a bill of tens of millions of dollars could easily make people frown, but the one he was negotiating business with was the Crown Guard. After so many years of accumulation, he didn't believe that the leader of the Fearless Pioneer would feel distressed. For him, it was not even a small matter.

After thinking about the current situation in Demacia for a while, the situation was as quiet as usual and there was nothing to worry about for the general. Out of respect for his important client, Enoch asked, "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"No, you did a good job." Tiana rejected Enoch's subsequent questions without thinking, and picked up the empty red wine glass again and took a sip.

It seemed that the facts were exactly the opposite of what the lady said. There must have been a big mess, otherwise the lady would not have acted so panic-stricken in front of Enoch.

It would be better for him to just stand aside and watch the fun without interrupting, otherwise it would be interesting if the trouble comes to him. Enoch took the opportunity to say goodbye to Captain Tiana. There was nothing more interesting in this world than for him to deal with the report on the hundred-armed giant.

Enoch pretended not to notice the sharp decrease in the number of servants in the manor, and deliberately ignored the fact that no servants could enter the backyard at present. Facing Garen standing in front of the empty bookshelf, he just greeted him politely. He silently reminded himself, "This is a family matter, don't think too much."

Despite all his calculations, Enoch still couldn't avoid the surprise that followed. When Enoch returned to the manor of Losrien, Jinx rushed to him immediately, holding Lux, who was evasive, in her hand. The little rascal gave Enoch a big surprise as soon as she opened her mouth: "You have to think of a way, Little Finger. Lux is in trouble."

"I can almost guess it," Enoch sighed, "Did anyone see me when I was using magic?"

"That's not the case...it's just that she was discovered making friends in the Illuminati dungeon." Jinx pouted a little dissatisfiedly. "Our sentimental and naive little princess showed infinite sympathy and love to the prisoners locked up at the bottom. Oh, my Virgin Mary, she opened her heart and wanted to rush out of the dark cage like a little bird to pick up the branch of freedom."

Jinx imitated the opera singers in Piltover Theater, drawing out long emphatic words, with the back of her hand against her forehead, expounding a poem of praise like a suffering saint. However, unlike the actors, this time the script successfully gave Enoch a headache.

"My poor little bird, it broke through the prejudices and constraints of the world and flew happily in the carefree sky, but was caught and put back into the cage by its cruel compatriots. The poor little branch will be broken and crushed..."

Enoch gently rubbed his temples and sighed as he watched the girl dancing on the table. "So, our Miss Lux was caught having a secret meeting with the prisoner? Or was she discovered by her own brother? Now he wants to execute the prisoner? Am I right in understanding this?"

"That's right." Jinx pulled the armchair Enoch was sitting on and turned it half a circle, then leaned close to him and smiled. "So our eldest daughter is feeling sad about her lover."

"He is not... There is nothing between Silas and me. I went to ask him how to control my magic, that's all." Lux retorted a little embarrassedly, and took several deep breaths before calming down.

"It was Demacia who failed him. His efforts and sacrifices were no less than any true knight." Lux's eyes were firm. "He was originally under the orders of the Demon Hunters. It was Demacia who forced him to identify innocent civilians like him, simply because they were born with magic. He just couldn't continue to attack his compatriots, so he was imprisoned by the Demon Hunters, and the blame that originally did not belong to him was placed on his head. He is not a criminal, he..."

"listen to me"

Seeing that the eldest lady of the Mianwei family was getting more and more excited, Enoch stopped her before she could say anything more dangerous; "I don't care whether the guy in the dungeon is a saint or a vicious prisoner. I just want to remind you that you are a Mianwei, so be careful with your words and actions. I hope you can remember this."

Little Finger took a deep breath and gently pulled the long braids of the little naughty girl in front of her with a smile on her face as if in revenge. She really got into a hot mess.

"I beg Miss Lux, the whimsical one, to understand one fact. I don't need to remind you that Demacia is conservative and xenophobic. In this environment, you can't rush into the cell to break out of the prison, and it's even more whimsical to want to overturn his case. I can't help you with these two points. If you really want to save that person, I suggest you talk to your aunt first to see if she has any good ideas."

Enoch didn't want to take on such a hot matter at all. If Jinx hadn't been silently supporting his little finger's back, he wouldn't have wanted to say a word.

"Demacia values fairness and justice," Lux said angrily, turned around and sat in the chair, staring at her fingertips.

Enoch held back from laughing at the girl's naivety. Fairness? If Demacia really valued fairness and responsibility, they wouldn't have demon hunters.

"Sometimes justice is not the most important thing, stability and continuity are." Enoch was helpless after being poked by Jinx, and could only say a few more words, "You are the crown guard, you should make some choices."

"Are we going to send an innocent man to the gallows just for the sake of stability?"

"I'm not a good person, so for the sake of other people I care about, I will choose to hang the threatening guy." Enoch answered without hesitation. Seeing Lux's surprised eyes, the naughty blue-haired girl also warned seriously, "Little Finger is right. The two of us are big villains, villains made in heaven."

Chapter 186 Dark Tide

Finally, Laxana left the manor in a depressed mood. It was hard to imagine that the eldest daughter of the Mianwei family would be so naive. It was really hard to say whether it was a good thing or a shortcoming.

After Jinx sent the blonde girl to the carriage, she obediently poured Enoch a cup of black tea, quietly walked to Enoch by the window and hugged him, snuggled into Enoch's chest, and then said "I'm sorry" in a muffled voice.

"You did nothing wrong." Enoch hugged the girl's petite body and sniffed the fragrance of her hair quietly. "Don't apologize to me, okay? Never."

"Ha, I thought it was just a love-struck elopement..." Jinx lay on Enoch's chest and listened to the boy's heartbeat. "I didn't expect that the guy in the prison caused such a big trouble... I don't want to be involved in the wizard's mess again."

"For the guy in the prison, knowing magic is not a problem. The real problem is that he is not firm in his position..." Enoch lifted the girl's face and admired her shining blue eyes. "To put it bluntly, if that guy had been able to be ruthless and testify against the 'right' magic carrier, he would not have been in any trouble at all... He made a mistake in discovering the high-ranking officials who should not have been discovered, but wanted to let go of the weak persimmon that must be hunted down."

"Everywhere has a dirty little secret, and whoever dares to touch it will die."

........................

"How do I look?"

“Excellent”

Enoch, who was about to leave Demacia, suddenly received an incredible dinner invitation. Jarvan IV invited the great nobles and military dignitaries of Demacia to attend a grand dinner. As the largest non-native weapons dealer in Demacia and an important sponsor of the Royal Guards, Enoch received the invitation in advance.

"I'm not used to this outfit," Enoch moved his wrist. This armor was really inconvenient for him. But Jinx liked the arm armor very much and kept fiddling with the knife hidden in it.

"Don't take this thing out at the party." He gently tapped the girl's forehead, gently touched the girl's pouting lips, and with a smile, he took Jinx's hand and got on the black luxury car that was temporarily teleported.

"We have to act quickly while there is no one on the street."

The banquet in the castle was more lively than expected. Mechanical cars were not even conspicuous here. Look at the Skarash, a creature unique to Shurima. Who knows how the desert creatures survived in this place? It seems that Demacia is not as isolated as advertised.

Enoch wandered around the banquet with the girl. Most of the nobles here had business dealings, and they were happy to spend some time chatting with Enoch, and then happily found the next acquaintance to chat with.

This banquet was no different from other activities except that the host showed up very late. When the band played the fourth waltz, Prince Jarvan finally arrived, wearing gorgeous golden armor. It looked newly made with a lot of decorations on it. If I was not mistaken, they should be decorations made from the claws of the evil dragon Ivar.

What a boast! Enoch muttered to himself, and he and the other nobles looked at the prince, ready to hear what this sudden banquet was about.

Jarvan IV, on the contrary, was rather low-key. He just clinked his glasses silently with several nobles on the road, and after a few jokes, he invited the eldest daughter of the Garcia family to dance slowly to the music on the dance floor. Only then did the banquet officially begin. Many young people put down their glasses and invited the noble ladies they liked or whose families needed to follow His Royal Highness the Prince to have fun together.

"The situation is not good... Such a grand invitation, and I saw a lot of foreign liaison personnel came, but in the end they didn't say anything?" Enoch whispered in the girl's ear. Jinx nodded in understanding and moved a little further away from the chaotic dance floor, secretly being careful about what bad things might happen.

The surrounding nobles also began to gather in groups of three or four, exchanging gossip with each other.

The wait didn't take long. When Enoch was tasting Demacia's fine brew, Tiana suddenly came to Enoch and introduced him loudly: "Thank you Mr. Enoch for building the Guards Corps for His Highness Jarvan. With his support, the prince defeated the dragon. We don't need to worry about the invasion of those four-legged beasts on our border anymore."

"What's going on?" Jinx pulled Enoch's arm a little uneasily. The girl, who was suddenly being watched, raised her guard to the highest level.

"I don't know. Normally we are just here to make up the numbers. This is a private party for the heir to the country. There is no reason to introduce a foreign businessman."

"Then what should we do?"

"Nod, smile, wave." Enoch took the girl by the hand, smiled and walked forward to greet the nobles, and took the opportunity to whisper in the girl's ear, "We will act according to the situation."

"Gentlemen, I must say that Enoch is a gentleman worthy of trust. His Loslien Company is capable of providing high-quality weapons for your territories." Tiana smiled and raised her glass to Little Finger. "His Royal Highness's guards were built with his help."

Before Enoch could express his gratitude, a slightly discordant voice came from the side, "Those tin cans? What else can they do except arm the peasants and make them an eyesore? A true knight is a kind of moral cultivation from the inside out. You can't be called a knight just by having a sword."

This was really rude. Enoch pressed down on the tense Jinx and smiled slowly. Just as he was about to say something, another female voice came: "How exaggerated! Don't you ever dress yourself up with beautiful armor? Be careful that someone will cut your beard off."

Amid the laughter of the crowd, a short-haired lady walked out. Her conspicuous red hair and raised eyebrows made her look like someone who was not to be messed with. Even at such a banquet, she still wore a rapier on her waist. She looked like a sharp knife. No one dared to boo her just by standing there.

"So you have a lot of good things in your hands? Do you mind if I take a look?" The lady raised her head slightly, but her attitude did not allow anyone to refuse.

"It's my honor." Enoch, who had long wanted to leave this vortex of trouble, followed the woman and walked towards the balcony of the castle. After knowing that the heavy curtains blocked the noise of the banquet, Enoch bowed and thanked the lady.

"Thank you, ma'am"

"You're welcome, just call me Fiona, Fiona Laurent"

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Fiona, thank you for your help. How can I repay you for your help?" Inuk saluted again. He vaguely felt like he was swallowed by a whirlpool and couldn't stay out of it.

"You have already repaid me." Fiona turned around and let Enoch pass. "I am the one who should thank you. Thank you for what you did to preserve the last dignity of Orpheus Laurent."

Chapter 187 The Missing Heroine at the Banquet

This was really amazing. Enoch had never thought that the guide in Demacia would help him in this way. Especially since the girl next to him had forgotten the difficult name until Enoch whispered "Hafen" to her.

"Is this the pseudonym he gave himself? 'Hafen', it seems he really likes his lyre." Fiona sighed, "His dream since childhood was to become a poet and sing his father's deeds, but he didn't leave a single hymn until his death... But thank you, he now has his own story, even though it sounds stupid."

While Enoch echoed and praised the glorious deeds of the Laurent family, he carefully avoided the minefields. After a few polite words, Enoch turned to the issues he was concerned about.

"Today's banquet is really special. Could it be that His Royal Highness the Prince needs my help in upgrading his army's equipment?" Enoch talked about the little conflict just now with a hint of meaning, staring at Fiona's half-smile and shaking the wine glass in his hand.

"I thought you didn't care." Lady Fiona smiled, not caring about the embarrassment of the person in front of her. "I don't like any powerless and hypocritical rumors. I just want to remind you that Demacia is very traditional and conservative. The guards sponsored by the prince are not very popular among traditional nobles."

"They are all conservative royalists. They don't like the future king not to abide by the chivalry system. Of course, you can ask for a duel in the sword hall in the face of humiliation, but this right is limited to those who hold Demacia titles."

Enoch understood completely that his products blocked the financial path of some traditional nobles, and they wanted to reduce their influence on the prince, so they jumped out to cause trouble when the prince was not paying attention. If he followed their so-called "tradition" and challenged the rude people to a duel, he, as a person from the Twin Cities, would become a sinner who intended to attack the Demacia nobles.

But there is still a question, why did these people suddenly jump out to cause trouble now?
