The Hungry Maiden, Storm Approaches Bond Village

In the darkness, the group raced along a forest path. Though called a forest path, it was actually quite barren, with few trees left on either side. Noxus had cut down vast numbers of local trees and damaged the environment in order to transport supplies and set up camps.

Therefore, on the gray-brown mud, this group of people dressed in black, walking at night without the cover of trees, walked on the main road in all black, which was just like taking off their pants to fart.

"A group of brothers went to Qimu Village, killed thirteen Noxians, and recruited seven new brothers. Gentlemen, we need to get going too. According to the list, Roel Town isn't far away now. It seems to be called Bond Village?"

"The list says there are Noxians- run casinos over there. Bond Village is adjacent to Noxians settlements; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they live alongside the Noxians. So the situation there is even worse than in Kimura. Gentlemen, they are already traitors."

Another person spoke up, "Wouldn't it be better to destroy Bond Village?"

"You're overthinking it. There are only a few of us, while there are so many people in Bond Village. Even if we hacked them all down, we wouldn't be able to kill them all. Besides, we're going to Bond Village to recruit new members," another person said, rolling their eyes.

Listening to these people's words, a young member who had just joined the Brotherhood was somewhat confused. "Wait, aren't we supposed to be reviving Ionia? Why are we attacking our own people?"

"Of course we are rebuilding Ionia, but those people are no longer our brothers and sisters. They live with the Noxians killed our loved ones; they are traitors, understand? We are using violence only to awaken them," the leader of the group said in a deep voice.

The young Brotherhood member still felt uneasy, but upon meeting the leader's eyes, he wisely kept quiet and chose to remain silent.

After a night of travel, they decided to rest and recuperate in the morning.

Since they were not far from Bond Village, they needed to prepare in advance so that they would be in high spirits when they went to assassinate the Noxians.

In the abandoned village, they chose a reasonably good house, went inside, and took out the food they had brought with them.

Sitting in a circle, the group of people bent down and arranged the food.

The dried meat and fruits and vegetables were taken out of the package and placed on the oil paper on the ground.

"Gurgle--"

But suddenly, the squad leader heard strange noises. He quickly became alert, stood up to search, and shouted, "Who's there?! Show yourself!"

The other members also drew their weapons, pulling out gleaming silver daggers. The Brotherhood members stood back to back, their Brotherhood skills being exceptionally high, as they had participated in the Noxian-Ionian War.

A weak voice came from the roof beam.

Is there anything to eat?

The squad leader looked up and saw a person lying on the beam of the roof, hanging from the beam.

His arms hung down, a green mask covered his face, and his black hair was disheveled like a hedgehog's quills. On his right arm, which was hanging down, there was a large tattoo. He was looking at them with brownish-red eyes and speaking in a weak voice.

"Don't be nervous. I got here before you. I haven't eaten for four days. Do you have any food?"

"Who are you?"

"Me? A hungry person," she said, her voice growing even weaker.

"State your name," the squad leader said in a deep voice.

"Sigh, why do you have to know my name? Seriously, I know you guys, the ones with tiger tattoos on your bodies, you're members of the Brotherhood, right?" She sighed as she spoke, shifting her position on the beam.

Clutching her stomach, she sat down on the beam. On the horizontal beam, which was only as thick as a man's foot, she sat extremely steadily. Moreover, the group below then noticed that the clothes she was wearing were very strange.

He wore a black and green bra that revealed his clearly defined abdominal muscles, and had tattoos resembling dragons and snakes on his back. He also wore a strange pair of pants with a rope tied around his waist.

Clutching her stomach, she said, "Kennen said that you guys openly claim to be restoring Ionia and rebelling against Noxus, but in reality, you're just conscripting men, going from village to village. If anyone resists, you resort to violence."

"I'm really puzzled. You guys still call each other brothers after all this? But I've been in a good mood lately, so hand over the food, and I'll pretend I never saw you."

"You're so big." Upon hearing her words, a Brotherhood member angrily drew his crossbow.

But the squad leader reached out to stop him, squinting at the girl above him, and said, "All you want is food?"

"Yes, just food."

"I haven't eaten for days, have pity on me," she said, yawning, seemingly completely indifferent to the Brotherhood members below her armed with weapons.

It's like... they didn't take this group of people seriously.

"Okay, I can give you food, but how about you consider joining the Brotherhood? The Brotherhood needs people like you. Once you're here, you can have whatever you want."

"Hahaha, don't be ridiculous. I finally escaped one organization, and now you want me to join another?" The girl laughed, a hint of mockery in her eyes.

Her clear, pleasant voice carried a hint of threat, "Alright, before I change my mind, leave the food here and then get out of this door."

"."

"Let's go." The Brotherhood leader glanced at the girl and whispered to those around him.

"Godun, you..."

"Shut up, I said let's go!" Godun growled.

"He's right. Listen to him and leave quickly. Don't wait until I change my mind, or none of you will be able to leave."

The girl had somehow climbed down from the beam and appeared in the center of the crowd, squatting down. She reached down and picked up a fruit, then lifted a corner of her mask to reveal her delicate chin. She then put the fruit in her mouth.

Upon seeing this, Godun's pupils contracted, and he led his men out of the abandoned house.

"Godun, she's all alone!"

After they went outside, one of the members said, puzzled.

Godun looked at him and said, "Yes, she is alone, but haven't you noticed? She was able to approach us silently, and she was still so fearless even after knowing who we were. Do you think she's an ordinary person?"

"That woman is most likely a disciple of a sect, so she's not someone we can handle."

After hearing Godun's words, the man fell silent.

Recalling how the woman had suddenly vanished from the beam and then silently reappeared in the center of their group, reaching out to pick up food and eat, he realized that this woman was indeed very dangerous.

The Brotherhood members are all veterans who have seen battle, and those who go on missions are scouts and assassins. But as an assassin, he was approached silently by a girl.

This shows that, just as Godun said, that girl was not someone they could handle.

"Go to Bond Village, finish the tasks assigned by the organization, and then arrest some people and bring them back. We'll then report this to the higher-ups, and the organization will handle it," Godun said after thinking for a moment.

Ionia is getting more and more chaotic.

Vastaya's stance is unclear, traitors and spies are scattered everywhere, there is discord Brotherhood, and disciples of sects who have always lived in seclusion have emerged from the mountains.

Godun glanced back at the house, then turned and led the group away, heading towards the location of Bond Village.

Shortly after they left, the black-haired girl with spiky hair walked out the door and stretched at the entrance.

Two shadow scythes hung from her waist, a groan escaping her throat as she murmured to herself:

"Bond Village? These Brotherhood guys are really out there conscripting men again."

"This is really troublesome. I was thinking of going to Waili to arrest the traitors, but I can't just ignore something like this."

Looking up at the spot where the Brotherhood members had left, the girl sighed, put her mask back on, and whispered;

"Three Laws? To hell with the Three Laws."

"I act only for myself. The Material Realm is already littered with corpses, who has the time to maintain the Spirit Realm?"

She lightly touched the ground with her toes, leaped up, and disappeared in front of the house.
