Immortal Bastion

The next day at noon, Chen Yi was meditating when Ethan excitedly came to the front of the tent.

"It's here!"

Chen Yi's lips curved slightly.

"Please come in."

Just as Ethan was about to ask, he heard Chen Yi's voice and directly lifted the tent flap to enter.

"Brother Yi, great news! The Empire is finally going to make a move against those vassal states, and this time, General Darius will personally lead the army on the expedition."

"Those kings force people to kneel with their hereditary authority and empty fame, while Noxus wants them to stand up and pull those self-righteous kings from their thrones."

Chen Yi gave Ethan a strange look. Was this the kind of line that this simpleton in front of him could come up with?

Ethan had finally finished reciting the contents of the order, but he didn't see Chen Yi's excited reaction, which made him a little dejected.

He had been so excited for half an hour when he saw the brilliant order that he wished he could have gone on the expedition with General Darius on the spot.

Ethan didn't dwell on it further and said with some regret, "It's a pity that the Recruit Camp didn't receive a recruitment order. Otherwise, I really want to try how different the feel of a king's head is."

Chen Yi didn't know the answer to this question either. "There will be opportunities in the future."

Ethan nodded. There were countless small nations on the Runeterra Continent.

Under the leadership of Commander SivHD, he would have the chance to experiment sooner or later.

Recalling his scattered thoughts, Ethan continued, "However, Brother Yi is not within this scope. As a Player, you do not belong to the Recruit Camp, and with your strength, Brother Yi, you don't need to train here."

"Speaking of which, I'm curious why you were teleported to the Recruit Camp. That person..."

Ethan suddenly remembered something and quickly changed the subject.

"Brother Yi, I've already written a letter of recommendation for you. You just need to take the letter of recommendation to the Immortal Bastion to enlist."

Chen Yi's face lit up with joy. "Thank you, Mr. Ethan."

After a brief conversation with Ethan, he took Ethan's letter of recommendation and set off for the Immortal Bastion, the capital of Noxus.

The location of the Recruit Camp was Drek'Thar, which was not very far from the Immortal Bastion.

The land of Noxus was very barren. The soil in Chen Yi's hand had a sandy texture.

This was not caused by desertification, but by a small amount of dark power in the soil.

From the feeling... it should be leaning towards the direction of Necromancy, Undead Spirits.

A simple structure Instantly Formed in his mind, and flames ignited in Chen Yi's hand.

As the flames burned, the soil in his hand slowly emitted black smoke.

"This kind of power can be removed, but Fire Elementals aren't suited for this kind of task. Even after removing the dark-attribute energy, it's hard for the soil to grow plants."

The soil in Chen Yi's hand was blown away by the wind. He shook his hand, and the flames extinguished.

From the soil, one could understand why Noxus liked to invade; it was a policy to maintain national development.

Along the way, Chen Yi encountered a great many bandits.

Some were beggars, some were mercenaries, and some were even soldiers from Vassal States.

Under Noxus's iron-fisted rule, no one dared to cause trouble within the city.

But outside the city, it was a different story.

The only thing that puzzled Chen Yi was why they all targeted him.

This was already the sixth time on the road. Did he look rich, or was he just easy to bully?

"I have a question: why do you all like to target me?"

The six mercenaries opposite him barely made any effort to conceal themselves, casually covering the area below their noses before coming out to rob.

However, Chen Yi's question amused these mercenaries.

"Look, brothers, I told you this one's a big fish."

"A young master from a good family, who came out for an adventure after reading a few biographies of rangers."

"Look at his fair skin and that confused expression. Could he be from Piltover?"

"You're lucky to have met us. Let us teach you what the cruelty of the world is."

"We don't ask for much. Have your family send ransom money, and take off your clothes so we can have some fun."

Chen Yi's expression darkened. It wasn't that he liked to kill.

"Boom!"

A fireball fell amidst the mercenaries' astonished gazes, followed by continuous fireballs. This process lasted for a full minute.

Chen Yi only stopped when the area where the mercenaries stood was smashed into a pit several meters deep.

The ground was pockmarked and radiated high temperatures. The mercenaries were already gone, and even their weapons had been melted by Chen Yi.

Bad luck!

Noxus, besides having many bandits, also has a lot of poor people.

Here, no one would choose to help them. The ones willing to help civilians are from Demacia, and this is Noxus.

A country that has taken the law of the jungle to the extreme!

Chen Yi, naturally, is not one to meddle in other people's business.

Following the river, Chen Yi spent half a day before arriving at the Immortal Bastion.

From afar, he saw a tall building made of black stone, its exterior resembling an archway.

Noxus's Arch!

The symbol of Noxus's power.

Every time they conquered a piece of land, they would build a Noxus's Arch there, signifying that the land belonged to Noxus.

"Player?"

"Yes, this is my letter of recommendation."

The dark-skinned beautiful female officer, Barona, dressed in cool attire, looked at Chen Yi strangely.

This was the first time she had encountered a player coming to enlist.

The letter of recommendation stated that Chen Yi needed a large amount of War Merit and was powerful, though the exact extent of his strength was unknown.

"Peng!"

Barona drew the dagger at her waist, and the sharp blade plunged directly into the wooden table: "I don't know how you convinced the Centurion of the Newbie Camp, but now! Immediately! Go back the way you came!"

Obviously, she didn't believe a player who could be teleported to the Newbie Camp could be very strong.

Here we go again!

Here we go again!!

Chen Yi was already annoyed. Did he look young and therefore easy to bully?

"Can I take this as... you provoking me?"

A hot current spread outwards from Chen Yi.

In an instant, the surrounding temperature rose rapidly, as if mirroring the anger in Chen Yi's heart.

Scorching! Violent! Like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

The Fire Intent on his status panel quietly rose by two levels.

The temperature rose further.

The onlookers cried out in alarm. The high temperature made them feel as if breathing was difficult, and they hurriedly created distance.

Some entertainment wasn't so easy to watch.

The closest ones, as the heatwave washed over them, found their brown hair starting to scorch.

She felt as if she saw fire snakes licking at her, ready to swallow her whole at any moment.

When she came back to her senses, there were no fire snakes.

Only the seemingly young strong person opposite her, and the ever-increasing temperature.

She hurriedly knelt on the ground and apologized: "I'm sorry, sir!! Please let me go."

Barona's apology received no reply. Although she couldn't see the other person, she felt as if she would be burned by flames at any moment.

It was only a moment, but it felt like an eternity of torment to her.

"Hmph!"

Noxus had its own order within the city. Unprovoked slaughter was forbidden, and Chen Yi was not yet qualified to touch the rules of Noxus.

As Chen Yi withdrew his aura, the surrounding temperature slowly began to drop.

Under the respectful gazes of the crowd, Chen Yi took the token of conscription, the black stone token representing a strong person.

Not far away, a lady who had been watching the fun looked at Chen Yi curiously: "Is this... a Blademaster? No, he doesn't have that sharp feeling of a Blademaster. Strange, really strange."

"My intuition tells me he's a Mage. Was that some kind of magic just now?"
