"Sean..." Lothar knew the name.

The great hero of Noxus killed the former King Jarvan I of Demacia. There is a huge stone tablet built in memory of Sion in the imperial capital, and it is clearly engraved with the life of this legendary figure.

Lothar visited this monument when she was "on a date" with Elise and Katerina, and was impressed by the fierce man whose record required a ten-meter-high obelisk to complete.

But Shane was someone who died more than a hundred years ago, but Darkwill said that he was in this giant stone statue.

"Are you surprised?" Although Darkwill was weak, his face was flushed at this time. "Thanks to the talented mages under Lone's command, they successfully used blood magic to awaken Shane."

Lothar glanced at the female mage subconsciously: "Can blood magic still revive dead people?"

"Ordinary blood magic is certainly not acceptable." Darkwill said with a smile, "But Lonely fought in the Quartet and collected many ancient secret techniques. Lonely mages continued to study and experiment, and combined with blood magic, they finally succeeded in resurrecting Sion."

"Since His Majesty has achieved such an achievement, why did he imprison Sain in this stone statue?" Lothar asked.

Darkwill said regretfully: "It's not easy to reverse life and death. Blood magic did make Sain move again, but he lost his mind, couldn't communicate and couldn't control. Gu Zeng put him on the battlefield, although he was alone He completely defeated the enemy army, but he did not distinguish between enemy and me, and just locking him up again caused many sergeants to die in the lonely army."

"I see..." Lothar felt that the magical power of the black rose and the pale lady was becoming more and more unfathomable. Elise alone has lived for hundreds of years, and resurrected a person who was already dead. I am afraid to say it. Most people will listen to it as a joke.

"Actually, thinking about it, I'm the most incredible person." Lothar couldn't help thinking, "I didn't even die from being chopped to pieces..."

Darkwill looked at the giant stone sculpture regretfully: "Sean's waking up is a surprise and a pity for Gu. Gu wants to prolong his life, but he can't become a lunatic."

He turned around and looked at Lothar with burning eyes: "But you showed up, giving Gu Xin hope, and showing Gu's power of immortality."

Lothar saw that a soldier with a sword was walking towards him, the long sword in his hand showing a cold light.

...

Outside the Immortal Fortress.

A team of soldiers is patrolling.

The leader of the team looked up to the sky, and several crows flew past his vision.

"Unfortunate." The squad leader hurriedly lowered his head and hurried forward.

Behind him, the neat footsteps that had been following him disappeared.

The squad leader was furious. He was leading a relatively young team today and had not yet learned the importance of steel discipline in the Noxian army.

He turned his head, and the soldiers behind him stood in the distance, motionless.

"What are you doing to eat!" the squad leader scolded, "Can't you do something as simple as following me!"

None of the soldiers answered him.

The squad leader, feeling offended by his position, walked up to them angrily.

But as he approached, his rage was instantly quenched by fear.

The faces of the soldiers were gone, and on each of them stood a crow, pecking at their flesh.

The captain fell to the ground in fright, and the incomprehensible situation made him panic: "I must be dreaming..."

His eyes were darkened, and the piercing pain came from his eye sockets, and a crow stabbed his beak into his eyeball.

"No...no..." The squad leader didn't understand why his life came to an abrupt end.

There was a huge boom in his ears.

The only other eye left by Captain Thunder told him that it wasn't thunder.

It was a crowd of crows, an overwhelming crowd of crows.

It was like thunder, the sound of countless pairs of wings flapping.

...

Katarina looked at the back of the man in front of her.

The old man silently looked at the immortal fortress in the distance, and countless crows formed a huge black cloud, casting a shadow on the immortal fortress.

"Jerico Swain" Katerina asked first.

"Hello, Katerina." Swain turned around, a friendly smile on the old man's face, "I haven't seen you for so many years, you have grown up a lot."

"Have we met?" Katarina removed the curved blade from behind, as she saw Swain's eerie crimson left arm.

"I saw you when you were very young." Swain's tone was like a kind elder, "I also hugged you and your sister."

Katarina looked at Swain coldly. The old man in front of her was someone who wanted to subvert the entire Noxian Empire.

Just a few days ago, Luoji revealed Swain's plan to Katarina. When she learned that Luoji was going to assassinate Emperor Darkwill, the first thing Katerina wanted to do was kill. he.

But she didn't succeed, Luo Ji asked her to meet Swain herself, and it took Katerina a few days to finally find the culprit.

"I remember that you are an excellent general loyal to the empire." Katerina asked, "Why did you betray the empire?"

"Betraying Noxus" Swain smiled, "Trust me, boy, no one loves this country more than I do, even if I put more throwing knives in me, I won't change my feelings for Noxus. A loyal servant of Sri Lanka."

"Then what are you doing now! This is treason!" Katerina's voice trembled a little, she sensed a great danger on Swain, and the overwhelming crowd of crows flew over Katerina's head, like The never-ending tide generally flies towards the immortal fortress.

"Let me ask you a question, child." Swain did not hesitate to admire Katarina in his eyes, "You are a good boy who is loyal to the empire, but do you think the man on the throne is loyal to the empire? "

Katarina was dumbfounded.

The smile on Swain's face disappeared: "Darkwell used military force, squandered national power, and fought multiple countries and regions at the same time. You think a wise emperor would do such a thing. You are a military noble, Katerina, Tell me, do you think Noxus needs an emperor like him now?"

Katerina gritted her teeth and said, "It's arrogant, this is not the reason you are usurping the throne now!"

Swain shook his head regretfully: "If that's the case, then you can save Darkwill now. I'll let you go, and the crows won't stop you."

Katerina clenched the handle of the curved blade: "It may be faster to kill you."

She lowered her body, ready to burst into Swain at any moment like an arrow on a bowstring.

The admiration in Swain's eyes is even more: "You really are a good boy, Katerina."

"I just want to ask you one more question." Katerina said, "Father... Did he also participate in this operation?"

Swain seemed to know that Katarina would ask this question, and he smiled at the girl: "No."

Katarina stopped chattering with Swain, her figure disappeared in a flash, and the next moment, the curved blade was already on Swain's neck.

But it didn't stop there, Katarina's body was entangled in crimson thorn-like lightning, unable to move.

"I'm sorry, child." Swain said apologetically, "You are very good, but you are still too young. Like your fiancé, you still need to grow up. On the stage now, you can't play the leading role."

Katarina was furious, she struggled hard, trying to let the blade sink into Swain's neck: "That guy is not my fiancé!"

Swain smiled faintly, red electric light flashed, and Katarina fainted.

"Sleep for a while, child." Swain turned around and continued to stare at the immortal fortress in the distance. Now the entire imperial capital has been thrown into chaos by the sudden appearance of crows. The archer wants to shoot down the crows in the sky.

"Come on, Lady Pale," Swain murmured.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— ————

Never question my loyalty to the Empire, you can't imagine what I've endured for it.

Chapter 171: The Day of the Coup

Lothar quietly watched the iron sword approaching his heart.

"Come on, Luo Ji." Darkwill looked at Lothar expectantly, "Let me see your power."

The soldier's hands were locked back, and the long sword was ready to go.

Lothar didn't move, as if he really wanted to let the sword pierce his body.

Boom!

The sudden thunderous sound interrupted the soldier's stab, causing the entire underground space to vibrate faintly, and the sword tip finally stopped in front of Lothar's chest.

"What happened?" Darkwill frowned. This is deep underground, and such a loud thunder shouldn't be heard here. "Did those alchemists who study black powder screw up again?"

The huge thunder continued, and it kept going, Darkwill's face sank, which obviously wasn't something that could be caused by thunder or an accidental explosion.

"Go and have a look." Darkwill said to the female mage.

The female mage bowed slightly, and then disappeared. Lothar couldn't even see how she disappeared.

"Continue." Darkwill said to the sword-wielding soldier.

"Your Majesty." Lothar bowed and said, "It seems that something has happened. For the sake of safety, let's go and avoid it for the time being."

Darkwill waved his hand: "No, the solitary immortal fortress is impregnable, is it possible that thieves can still attack the imperial capital?"

"Really." Lothar muttered.

The thunder was always heard, and Darkwill seemed a little irritable: "Forget it, find a place to avoid first."

Before leaving, Lothar took another look at the giant stone statue and sensed the strong blood magic aura in the stone statue's abdomen.

"Blood magic..." Lothar thought to himself, "Maybe I can really learn more."

The soldiers escorted Darkwill and Lothar to the depths of the ground, which seemed to be where Darkwill believed was absolutely safe.

Lothar's mind became active.

"Ms. Pale is not here, Swain should be able to entangle her." Lothar looked at Darkwill's back coldly. "There are no other mages here, only a few guards. If you make a move... it should be possible."

But Lothar hasn't acted yet, and he still has a choice.

Swain is not his only choice. Lothar has not yet shot. If Swain is defeated, he will immediately switch to Duckwell.

It doesn't matter who Noxus is the emperor, all Lothar wants is to solve the cold pain on his body and return to the Freljord.

However, Lothar still wants Swain to win more in his heart. He doesn't really like the people of Black Rose, even though Elise has a good relationship with him.

"It depends on the situation, anyway, I am not without a backhand." Lothar continued to wait and see.

...

Draven looked at the crows in the sky and smiled very happily.

"Wow! I really didn't follow the wrong person!" Draven held a throwing axe in each hand and strode toward the immortal fortress, "Let me have a good time today!"

"Who are you! Stop!" A guard of the Immortal Bastion saw Draven and hurriedly raised his weapon to force him back. The guard's voice was a little flustered, apparently the crows in the sky made him lose his calm.

Draven laughed and waved his arms. The flying axe accurately smashed the guard's head, and the axe spun into the air and was firmly caught by Draven again.

"Well, the applause without the audience is really bad." Delevingne said regretfully, but the thundering sound of the crow's wings in the sky made Delavin feel better again, "Okay! Give it to me! "

Behind Draven, a large group of people showed up and rushed to the iron bridge in front of the city gate of the immortal fortress.

If there is a spectator who pays attention to the arena now, he will be surprised to find that the people who appear here are quite famous liquidators.

"Let's rebel! Hahahahaha!" Draven laughed exaggeratedly, "Cheers for Draven!"

...

Swain stands at the apex of the Immortal Citadel.

At this time, he has completely lost the appearance of an ordinary old man. The huge crow wings spread out from behind him, and crimson lightning and magic danced around him. The violent magic fluctuations shredded the air around him, and the blazing high temperature made the Snowflakes for miles around could not fall to the ground.

The storm of the crows is getting bigger and bigger, and the scavenging ravens are on the land, converging into several huge eddies in the air. From time to time, crimson lightning strikes down, accompanied by the swooping of the crows, swallowing the enemies under their feet. exhausted.

At first glance, the crows have completely surrounded the immortal fortress, and the huge fortress seems to be unable to withstand such a terrible catastrophe.

But Swain knew that the immortal fortress had extremely tricky magical protection. It was the enchantment laid down by the cabinet mages for hundreds of years according to the requirements of the emperors. The crows could harvest the lives of all the guards outside the immortal fortress, but But it's hard to get inside.

In the center of the vortex of several crows in the sky, one terrifying huge crimson eye was exposed, and the eyes glanced at the immortal fortress without the slightest emotion, searching for the flaws of this indestructible castle.

"As expected of the pale lady." Swain wanted to applaud his enemy a little. "The magic barrier is made to be watertight. Even if I want to attack, I have to pay a big price."

But Swain is not alone.

A large number of armed forces have emerged from all directions of the immortal fortress. There are liquidators from the arena, veterans who have long since retired, the Assassin Guild that has not appeared in front of others, and the Weidu Legion that was supposed to serve the emperor. They turned their backs and faced off against their former comrades-in-arms.

This is the power that Swain has collected by forbearance and lurking. The methods he uses are not necessarily all glorious, and he has done a lot of coercion and inducement, but whether they want to or not, these people still follow the storm of crows to attack. The immortal fortress that never fell.

Suddenly, the crimson eyes in the sky stared at one place at the same time.

Crimson lightning also fell, targeting a steeple not far from Swain.

Before the lightning fell, the minaret made of bluestone suddenly turned into a glass-like material, like a bright mirror, which bounced the lightning back into the sky.

At the same time, the mirror reflected the crows in the sky, and there were actually countless identical crows, wrapped in a magical purple halo, forming a continuous wave of crows flying towards Swain.

"Do what you did to do what you did." Swain suddenly remembered this sentence, a proverb he had learned from the locals during his Ionian expedition.

Swain didn't like the phrase.

"Let me see how far you can imitate me." Swain's body erupted with terrifying magical fluctuations, and the crow's wings behind him soared several times in size, projecting a huge crow's shadow on the immortal fortress.
