Chapter 452: The Ground of Bones
Laxtak Fortress, Palace Hall, in front of the Iron Throne.
The dazzling magic lights set off the mysterious stone pillars, and a quiet atmosphere lingers in the dome.
Modrian sat upright on the throne and closed his eyes, standing beside him, Garen, Zhao Xin, Ashe and Pansen who were waiting silently, with a slight excitement in everyone's eyes.
Earlier, the Shadow Flowers intercepted Garen and Ash in front of [Knoxtola] and verbally issued Modrian's order. In addition, some legion soldiers were mobilized from the castle of Lanvasur to assist in completing the temporary mission.
What was more surprising was the catastrophe. According to what he said, it seemed that the abyss consciousness that exists in the abyss passage did not reject him too much. It was a very strange thing. After all, he had killed the third abyss: the demon lord of the Wasteland Abyss, Shadow Scripps.
Is it because of the inclusion of the source of shadow belonging to Scripps?
Tat! Tat! Tat! Tat!
The dense footsteps rang outside the palace hall, neatly and consistently, as if bells and drums were ringing together.
The solid iron door opened to both sides, and rows of soldiers of the Demacia Legion wearing thick silver armor walked into the palace hall, with about two hundred people, divided into four rows and stood in front of the throne steps.
Behind are the Avarosa archers, with a small number of people, only 50 people, but if they fight with military formations, the strength these archers exert far beyond imagination.
"Lord, the Demacia Legion has been assembled." Tiana Miangu stepped out of the line and walked to the throne steps and said respectfully.
Modrian looked around at the array gathered in front of him. Considering the particularity of the bottomless abyss, he carefully considered that [Temporary Mission: Abyss Passage] chose the Fearless Pioneer Legion and the Demacia Light Guard, rather than the many elite soldiers of the Noxus Legion.
Overall, the Demacia Legion is the main one, supplemented by the Avarosa tribe and the Shadowflow Sect.
Looking up at the glazed dome, Modrian clearly saw the night sky with bright crescent moon hanging. The situation in the Kingdom of Stoke seemed calm, but the surging dark tide could no longer be stopped.
The disappearance of the Valente family and the Violet Mage Tower made Limontanlu in chaos. Many nobles of blood and great nobles seek their own interests, or quietly wait for the opportunity to arrive.
Some time ago, Horace sent a request from the Dalle family to expand its interests in Limontanelu and even the southern part of the kingdom with the help of the power of Valoran.
Modrian just accepted the news but did not rush to reply. After discussing with Svein, he decided to continue waiting for the situation to change.
Valoran had the capital to do so, and the fearful strength and military power were enough to shock the vast majority of the nobles of the Stoke Kingdom.
But now the situation has changed again, and the internal chaos in the Stoke Kingdom has not yet ended. The Beshilik Kingdom has opened its fangs and is ready to take action against the kingdom at this moment, and it is necessary to tear off a large piece of delicious fat meat.
Fortunately, Valoran learned about the movements of the Kingdom of Beshilik in advance and arranged for Drayus to guard against the Lizardman Legion.
"The abnormality that appears in the Abyss Passage must be resolved as soon as possible, and time... is a bit urgent."
Looking up at the faint moonlight falling on the palace hall, Modrian's thoughts were turning.
Valoran Leader could not stay out of this upcoming storm, so what he needed to do was to solve internal problems and then prepare for a new era in the Kingdom of Stoke.
The bottomless abyss, the most evil place in many stories, is on the opposite side of the continent of Kaladimos.
It always exists like light and darkness.
"Open the sealing passage." Modrian stood up from the Iron Kingdom and looked down at the Demacia Legion with a look of indifference.
"yes."
Countless shadows emerged in the palace hall, and under the leadership of the catastrophe, they appeared.
On the side of the steps of the Iron Throne, where the soul controller Stewart was once sealed and buried, stands a green wooden door, with simple patterns engraved in the center of the wooden door, as if the green wind blows.
This is the rune carved by Gana, sealing the abyss passage that exists in the fortress.
Jie held a white stone in his hand and walked towards the wooden door. Through the crystal clear appearance of the stone, he could clearly see the several rays of green wind flowing inside.
Click!
A slight inlay sounded, and the white stone perfectly blended into the green wooden door. Then the door opened, revealing a corner, and the lush wall could be faintly seen.
The dim fire light shone, and the soldiers of the Fearless Pioneer Legion and the Demacia Light Guard walked forward with torches. In fact, with extraordinary vision, the environment in the passage is clearly visible, but in order to search carefully, it is much easier to ignite the torches.
Modrian and Garen walked into the passage together, and the space was quite good. The Demacia array was unfolded in a row with ten people and slowly advanced into the passage.
The environment is a bit familiar, much like the mine vein tunnel I saw when I first explored the Laxtak Fortress.
The shadows are covered and the view is blurred. You can vaguely see strange portraits depicting the walls on both sides, and some strange words are engraved in the corners, which are traces left by the ice and snow dwarf clans.
Walking far away, you can faintly see the faint dark red mist that suddenly appears in your vision, as if countless evil and chaotic whispers echo in the channel, stimulating the nerves and impacting the consciousness, and wanting to pull everyone into the world of desolation.
"Hu...What a familiar scene, what a picture left in memory." Modrian said softly, with a trace of memories in his eyes. "It's a pity that these tricks are useless now."
"Demacia!"
A firm and dull roar sounded in the passage, and a faint silver-white light filled the middle of the array, completely dispelling the deep red mist that had spread.
The Demacia Light Guard walked in front of the array with a silver shield, behind him were soldiers of the Fearless Pioneer Legion with cold eyes, with sharp blades unsheathed and sharp cold light flashing.
The Avarosa archer held the bow and arrow tightly, put his fingers on the bow string, and his eyes were patrolling around like an eagle.
This exploration is no longer what it was before, and only the Shadow Flowers can be used as the vanguard. The Valoran leader now has too many elite troops and is no longer mainly reconnaissance. If he encounters an enemy, all the soldiers in front of him will kill without mercy.
With the glory of Demacia, the faint crimson mist was like a trembling little animal, and it couldn't stop retreating, but there were always unbelieving parts who wanted to step forward. The final outcome was to disappear after touching the silver-white light.
Unstoppable, the Demacia Legion walked towards the depths of the passage with firm steps, and the portraits of the walls on both sides became more and more distorted and strange. The remaining dried blood was vaguely seen, blending into the walls and corners.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
The strange footsteps suddenly sounded from the front, and Modrian frowned slightly, and in the dim light, a pale ground appeared in front of him.
"The ground paved with bones?"
Several pictures emerged in his mind, including the skeleton corpses he had encountered in the palace hall.
