LOL: Let me touch your steel

This further strengthened Jarvan’s resolve that he must not anger this guy!
Since this guy has no ill will towards Demacia, Demacia will treat him with courtesy!
Anyway, this guy will leave sooner or later.
Jiawen has figured one thing out clearly: there is no need for Zhang Xu, who has such strength, to deceive them – there is simply no need for that.
Therefore, as long as he doesn’t anger him, doesn’t provoke him to take action, treats him with courtesy, and finally sends him away politely, this is Jarvan’s current primary goal.
Jarvan frowned and nodded thoughtfully.
After returning, I have to restrain some nobles in the capital… I can hunt demons, but if the demon hunt ends up on this lord, wouldn’t that be Chunchun seeking death?
Jia Wen took a deep breath and said in a slow tone:
“Your Excellency, I am sorry for being rude. Since you are a Sun Priest of Shurima, you should be given the highest level of hospitality in Demacia. How can I allow you to live in a place like this?”
Garen looked around and gave up the idea of finding Vayne to lecture him.
Faced with such a guy, it is no wonder that Vayne, who has always hated magic, would change her mind and lead Zhang Xu and others into the Demacia capital.
“Your Excellency the Priest, please follow me into the palace. I will inform my father that it will be in accordance with etiquette to host a banquet for you.”
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise outside the manor.
Then, a sturdy man in heavy armor rushed in without saying anything. He was already strong, and the heavy armor made him look even more majestic. His face was tough, but the lines on his face were somewhat soft. It was obvious that he looked a bit like Lux.
And this person’s identity is naturally obvious –
The power of Demacia, Garen.
A new generation general of Demacia who serves as the swordsman-in-chief of the Fearless Vanguard Corps, and also shoulders the glory of the Crownguard family.
“Brother! Why are you here?”
Lux shouted in surprise, and Garen was also a little surprised: “Lux? Why are you here?”
Galen’s mind was a little dazed for a moment.
Once Garen joined the army, he quickly earned his place as a Demacian warrior within the shield wall and gradually gained a reputation for bravery on the battlefield. By the time he was eighteen, he had won honors on the frontier of the Freljord, played a key role in the purge of the cultists of the Silent Forest, and fought alongside the brave defenders of the White Rock.
Jarvan III personally summoned Garen’s battalion back to Demacia and awarded them in the Hall of Valor in front of the palace. Tiana Crownguard, who had just been promoted to Grand Marshal, singled out her nephew and recommended him to take the Fearless Vanguard entry test.
When Galen returned home to make preparations, he was greeted eagerly by Lux and his parents, as well as the ordinary people living in his family’s mansion. Although he was pleased to see that his sister had grown into a smart and capable girl, something had changed about her.
He had noticed the change every time he saw his sister, but now Garen had to face a real and painful suspicion that Lux had magical abilities… but he had never allowed himself to dwell on the thought for long. The thought that a Crownguard could master the forbidden arts that had killed their uncle was too much for him to face.
He didn’t dare to ask his sister whether she possessed magical powers, let alone ask his parents whether they knew.
This thought continued to plague him, and he tried not to think about what he would be forced to do if his suspicions were confirmed. So he avoided seeing the sister he loved so much and threw himself into his new duties, fighting and training, working twice as hard as before.
Garen’s face turned pale instantly. Lux’s appearance here seemed to further confirm his guess.
He forced himself not to look at Lux’s face and instead focused his gaze on Zhang Xu and everyone behind him.
When it came to serious matters, Galen’s expression suddenly became serious.
If nothing unexpected happens, these strangers should be the ones who caused the turmoil in Xiongdu just now…
A bunch of cunning villains!
“Galen, your army is not needed here…it’s just a misunderstanding.”
The corners of Jarvan’s mouth twitched twice, and he waved his hands weakly.
Although he knew his friend’s character and his loyalty.
But in this situation, it’s really not appropriate for you to be here!
However, Garen’s appearance here also means one thing – he saw the Fearless Vanguard led by Garen, which means that the Demacia capital is likely to have experienced some turmoil.
He had to rush back to the palace as soon as possible and explain the situation to his father.
Chapter 351 King’s Landing
“Forget it, I don’t want to go back with you.”
Zhang Xu yawned and stretched lazily.
He didn’t want to go back with the prince and deal with the nobles of Demacia like a rare animal.
Seeing Zhang Xu’s relaxed attitude, Garen, who had already learned the situation from Lux, frowned slightly. Although he already knew Zhang Xu’s identity, he just felt a little unhappy with this guy.
This feeling came for no reason, but Garen just hated this guy.
“Sir, is it possible that even the Demacia royal family cannot invite you?”
When I was in Shurima, I didn’t even go to the party hosted by Azir.
I don’t even give face to Azir, so who do you think Demacia is?
Zhang Xu glanced at Jiawen meaningfully, ignored him, and turned back to the main hall of the manor behind him.
Looking at Zhang Xuruo’s arrogant back, Garen subconsciously clenched his fists, and the heavy sword in his hand, which looked heavy and not luxurious, also flashed a faint halo of light.
“Jarven, he…”
Before Garen could finish his words, Jarvan waved his hand to stop him from saying anything.
“If he doesn’t want to, then forget it. It seems that he doesn’t like being disturbed. When I go back, I will tell the nobles and demon hunters not to mess with this guy.”
“You seem to be afraid of him, Jarvan.”
Garen frowned. Although he felt the shock that affected the entire Demacia capital and felt the tremendous power, he could never truly understand it without actually facing it.
“If you also have the ability to destroy the entire Demacia, I will also be wary of you.”
Jarvan took a deep look at the closed door of the main hall of the courtyard, then turned and left without hesitation.
Wayne hid in the corner of her own manor, quietly watching everything here – she never thought that the idiot who angered Zhang Xu would be her own prince Jarvan.
……
—-
The sun sets and night falls.
The full moon hangs high in the sky, like a vast eye staring at the desolate land.
The seemingly flat and solid land suddenly trembled, as if something was about to drill out from the ground. With a rumbling sound, stones and soil were rolled around, and a vast expanse of paleness appeared on the earth.
Dry skeletons and terrifying undead spirits descended upon this land.
All the skeleton undead did not move at all after drilling out of the ground. They remained silent, maintained uniform movements, and quietly waited for their monarch to give orders.
This group of undead souls, who exist in a unique form, are no longer bound by life and death, and have almost immortal lives. Although they may have been killed in a brutal way when they were alive, now they are all loyal to one person.
Iron Wraith, Mordekaiser.
This ambitious monarch finally achieved his wish – he returned to the material realm, to the world he once conquered.
Behind him is the immortal fortress he built with his own hands.
At the end of the undead army, Modkaiser took two steps forward and sat on his throne.
The iron back of the chair stretched steeply upward, turning into spikes pointing to the sky. The base of the throne was engraved with sharp characters in the Ochen language. The ever-present whispers now became almost roaring, hysterical, and never stopped. Mordekaiser placed one hand on the armrest and raised his head proudly to look into the distance.
His gaze passed past the majestic undead army and he saw an equally massive human army.
But Modkaiser does not think that they are ready to face the iron hoof of the Undead Legion. No one in this world can stop him. He will eventually reign and turn this world into what he wants.
Mordekaiser grinned, a cruel smile drawn across his terrifying face.
Then he swung the hammer in his hand.
The originally calm Undead army seemed to have received some kind of order, and this terrifying army became visibly agitated.
Noxus, front-line command.
Today, the Immortal Fortress of the Noxian Empire has completely become the main battlefield between Noxus and Mordekaiser. Most of the nobles and people in the city have left, leaving only the well-trained Noxian army.
They will defend this place to the death until the evil Modkaiser is completely defeated.
All the Noxian high-ranking officials were present at the temporary front-line command center – but compared to the period when the war was launched against Demacia and Ionia, there were obviously fewer people in the current command center.
Swain sat at the head, glancing at everyone in the tent with a serious expression.
Noxus is now unprecedentedly weak. Talon, who once played an important role in the war, died in a foreign land, Vladimir died in the fantasy realm of the Yodles, and even General Du Kokael and Kled, who was highly valued by Swain, have disappeared.
Fortunately, LeBlanc and her Black Rose did not choose to be cowards.
Swain sighed heavily, and his eyes finally fell on Darius:
“Tell me, this battle…how should we fight it?”
Darius stood up from his seat silently. Even though this great general who had made countless military achievements and became a symbol of Noxus was now somewhat helpless.
The opponent is not an ordinary army, but an army of undead.
The army of the undead cannot die, feel no pain, and are tireless.
This means that Noxus’ once invincible biological weapons will no longer be of any use.
This will be the most difficult enemy Noxus has ever faced.
Darius pounded the table in front of him silently for a long while before he spoke: “Only… a fight to the death.”
He was silent for a while before continuing, “Now the Noxian army is moving towards the Immortal Fortress at full speed. As long as we can hold on for the first few days, reinforcements will arrive soon.”
“But don’t forget that the Undead Army will not suffer any damage. As our soldiers die, the Undead Army will only become stronger and stronger.”
LeBlanc interrupted Darius rudely – she wanted Mordekaiser to die more than anyone else present.
But it’s clear that they can’t.
Mordekaiser’s strength…
Leblanc’s own memories were a little fuzzy, but she was certain that Mordekaiser must have been full of confidence in this invasion.
Even with a conservative estimate, his current strength is beyond the capability of the existing Noxus to contend with, not to mention the formidable Undead Legion.
A head-on fight to the death is undoubtedly tantamount to seeking death.
