Chapter 399 Position Issue
The capital of Demacia.
A 12-man Ranger reconnaissance team, escorted by Galio, returned to the capital safely.
In order not to cause chaos, Li Lin's air combat machinery Storm all entered the optical camouflage state. They did not see the grand scene of thousands of aerial robots deploying energy barriers to defend the capital.
When the heavy city gate opened, they looked back and looked into the distance.
One of the female rangers asked in a trilling voice: "Is that...the patron saint sister?"
The sudden energy shock wave just now frightened her.
Although the cavalry in the Demacia military camp is equivalent to an officer to ordinary soldiers and is considered a small noble of the lowest class, but as the backbone of the defense of Demacia and the defense of the heroes from enemy penetration, they must be strictly selected before entering. .
Rangers generally have equipment sponsored by a certain family, and they basically fight alone. They must be accompanied by an agile, strong, fierce and intelligent animal companion to fight alongside them. Most of them are birds, but there are also many animals.
Such missions of traveling in groups are mainly ordered by the generalissimo or the king, and in most cases they are mainly used for reconnaissance intelligence.
This female ranger is not afraid of death. She can die heroically in the battle with the rogue Noxian spy team, which is also the destination she pursues.
But dying due to an energy shock wave that was far beyond human strength and could easily destroy half of the capital in one blow was simply too humiliating for her.
What's more, that was just the aftermath of the collision between the angel sisters.
The feeling of being powerless in the face of the power of the gods was so frightening that she never wanted to experience it again.
"It looks like that's right." The temporary captain of the Rangers responded, while squinting and looking into the distance.
The aftermath of the astonishing magical collision frightened the horses they were riding, and they were thrown off and fled in all directions.
In addition, Galio had to fold his wings to protect them under him and absorb the magic coming from behind. In order to survive, they had no choice but to run on foot, all the way back to the capital.
Just when they were about to arrive in Xiongdu, a beam of light dropped from the sky in the far distance. They all saw it. It crushed the blue light balls that were all over the sky and fell like raindrops from a distance.
The brightness of that light beam crushed the white light in the sky, easily piercing the darkness, as if it could eclipse everything in the world.
Even though they were hundreds of kilometers apart, they still felt a sense of suffocation that they couldn't breathe. Their whole bodies were trembling, and there was only fear in their hearts, as if they were facing the punishment of annihilation from a giant god outside the sky.
But now, the light beams descending from the heaven have long stopped, and there is no sound of fighting in the distance, as if the battle has already been resolved.
Galio didn't even have time to say hello before he flew away again, leaving only the 12 rangers who were still in shock.
"Who's winning?"
"I don't know...but His Majesty said that the Duke is also there. Will he be okay?"
"Your Majesty the Duke? Which Your Majesty the Duke?"
"Li Lin, Lord Duke Li, he awakened Galio. His Majesty awarded him the title of Duke on the spot on the battle monument road."
"Huh?! How did he know?"
"Is it possible that he is an extremely powerful mage?"
"Idiot, how is this possible? Have you forgotten our forbidden magic book?"
"As long as you join the Demon Seekers Association and are loyal to the Light Shield Royal Family, even if your magic is not..."
"——Shh! Don't say this nonsense!"
"It's impossible to use magic anyway, and I don't know the rest."
While several people were chattering and discussing, the door opened completely, and what greeted them was King Jarvan III in golden armor!
"See Your Majesty!"
The twelve rangers clenched their fists in fear, crossed their arms on their chests, and bowed in salute. Even the beast companions who followed them lowered their heads.
This was the first time for most of them to face the king in person, let alone the fact that he was surrounded by powerful people.
"Are you okay?" Jarvan III, supported by the fearless pioneers, walked forward quickly and asked with concern.
He was accompanied by Jarvan IV, Xin Zhao, Galen, Barrett, Tiana, Peter, Eldred and other great nobles who were still in the city.
"Your Majesty, we all returned safely under the protection of Galio." The Ranger Captain replied, "It's just that our horses were frightened..."
"It's okay, it's okay, I just want him back." Jarvan III was obviously relieved, but his expression turned serious again immediately, "Have you found out what happened? How is Duke Li's situation? What exactly did he and Morgana face? who is it?"
The Ranger squad leader did not dare to hesitate too much, "Looking through the monocular, the opponent was wearing gold and silver armor. His face could not be seen clearly, but he had a pair of white wings on his back, and he was holding a green-blue weapon in his hand. Giant sword...
"That guy is flying in the sky, facing off against Morgana's protector at the other end. The light and darkness in the sky are the result of the collision of magic between the two."
"That's Li Lin, is he okay?" The king was very worried about this issue.
You know, Li Lin not only saved the prince, but also cured the eyes of the royal guards who were blinded by magic. Even Morgana came back because of him, not to mention that he also awakened Galio today, and even some Ways to keep him awake for a long time.
Not only for Demacia, Li Lin is also a legend in Piltover.
What's more, there is a bane star beside him who likes him very much - the Twilight Star Spirit.
If something happened to him, Jarvan III would not only feel sorry for himself, but he would also be unable to explain to Piltover, who had always been neutral. If he messed with Zoe...
He didn't dare think about the consequences of Demacia.
"Mr. Duke Li..." The Ranger squad leader hesitated, not knowing what to say.
"Soldier, when His Majesty the King asks questions, you must answer loudly without hesitation!" Tiana scolded in a cold voice from the side.
"Yes!" he said quickly, "Duke Li was on the edge of the battlefield at that time, but since Galio is back to protect us, he should be fine."
"Father, Li Lin has his own sense of proportion. He can even fight against ancient demons. We don't have to worry too much." Jarvan IV comforted him.
Jiawen III sighed, "I hope..."
There was a brief silence in the air.
The Ranger squad leader hesitated for a moment, swallowed and said, "I think... I think the person who confronted Morgana's protector should be her sister, the judge we admire."
As these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on a middle-aged woman wearing a hooded robe of the Illuminator next to the king - Bishop Isabel of the Illuminator sect.
"The Winged Sisters do have a grudge. According to the Illuminator's records, they fought once hundreds of years ago."
Isabel's voice was soft, but her expression was very serious, "Now if the judge really returns, we have to consider choosing a side."
As she turned her face sideways, everyone followed her gaze and looked at the meditating King Jarvan III again.
"Your Majesty, Demacia and magic are incompatible. According to the records of the Crownguard family, the angel sisters did not treat our ancestors as well as we imagined. We must carefully consider the return of magic."
Eldred, who was wearing golden noble-style armor, a white gold-rimmed cloak, and a golden flying wing mask that covered his right eye and was connected to a chin guard, advised him.
"Eh? Why don't I remember that there are relevant records in our library?" Peter, the head of the Crownguard family, asked in surprise.
Galen beside him and Tiana beside the king both frowned, both of them could tell that Eldred had ulterior motives.
"That is a long-lost epic of the Crownguard family." Eldred had an uncomfortable smile on his face, "However, I found it again."
Displeasure and sullenness flashed across Peter's eyes.
Now that the lost classics of the Crown Guard family have been found, they should be reported to him in time and included in the Crown Guard family's library again. This is related to the cultural inheritance of the family!
This kind of behavior of finding it but not reporting it or handing it over showed that he, the head of the family, and the Crownguard family did not pay attention at all!
However, Peter quickly readjusted his mind. He also knew that although Eldred had joined the Crown Guard family, he had never regarded him as a member of the Crown Guard family because of Tiana's attitude.
Not to mention that he later became the leader of the Demon Searchers Association...
As far as Peter is concerned, as long as his daughter Lux is not involved, he doesn't want to pay attention to this hypocritical guy with double intentions.
Jarvan III glanced at Eldred, "What do you think?"
"We must completely purge magic from Demacia." Eldred said sonorously, "Even if it's the Winged Protector."
The surrounding nobles were in an uproar, and even the fearless vanguard guarding them had whispers.
"Ha, after seeing the scene of their battle today, do you think we have the ability to refuse them if they want to return?" A noble who was not dealing with Eldred retorted.
Damn old guy!
Eldred cursed in his heart, but the expression on his face remained unchanged, "Gario has awakened, and we have the Forbidden Stone Forest..."
He paused, not saying too harshly, "Even if we can't reject the Winged Protector, we still have to expel all dangerous mages."
"Why are you always thinking about the mage issue? This is not the focus we need to pay attention to now." Barrett's face was not good-looking, and his voice was old and hoarse. "The key now is how to deal with the conflict between the Winged Protector Sisters for us. The impact it brings!”
"Yes, yes... you are right." Eldred stopped as soon as he felt good, stood back among the crowd, and said nothing.
When no one was paying attention, the corners of his mouth curved up in an invisible arc.
Anyway, what he did today was part of his plan.
Eldred originally planned to use Lux as the last chess piece, but now the return of the Judge has given him new ideas and greatly advanced his plan.
It's almost, it's almost...
This volume is coming to an end, and it’s time to solve the darkin problem in the next volume!
