Chapter 545: Adventurer
Samira felt quite unsatisfied. The feeling of fighting had just appeared, and she found that there was no opponent. Such a thing was difficult to accept, especially in this situation.
Showing off her martial arts skills and creating achievements, this is undoubtedly what she wants.
"No, no more!"
The man who was pointed at by her gun looked at Samira in horror. She was obviously an unknown dancer. If he sold his haul this time, he could easily recruit dozens of her in any larger town in Shurima.
However, he never expected that such a dancer would actually display martial arts that he could not believe at all!
What's up with the knife cutting the bullet?
Is this person a monster?!
His fear was written all over his face, while Samira narrowed her eyes because she remembered this person.
This guy had molested her and her mother when she was a sideshow artist, but she was still a sideshow artist at the time so she just stayed away.
But now…
This guy is lying. There must be an ambush behind this.
Samira remembered clearly that this guy was with a lot of Piltover people and a lot of Noxians, but now these people were less than a quarter of the number when they set out.
That doesn't even include the local Shuriman civilians.
"Take us to your camp."
Samira pointed the still warm muzzle of the gun at the guide's head. This Piltover man was clearly an outsider, but because he kept exploring their land and bribing the warlords, he actually knew the land better than they themselves.
Samira had never cared about this matter before, but now that she has become the future owner of this land, it is obvious that she is beginning to care about it.
Sometimes, some realizations can only appear when you are in that position. Many times, you cannot expect a person who doesn’t have enough food to have any sense of family and country - indeed, he will have such feelings, but it takes many times of experiencing darkness and despair to have such realization.
What's more, Shurima is a place that has been in chaos for thousands of years. It would be strange if Samira had any so-called patriotism before.
In fact, most Shurimans have no so-called sense of home and country, which is why Azir needs to continue fighting.
"Okay... okay! But you can't kill me!"
Looking at these Shurimans and the Ionian over there, the guide couldn't help but think of a recent legend, that is, the former emperor of Shurima, the emperor who caused the destruction of their empire, awakened from the yellow sand again and wanted to unify Shurima.
It was precisely because of this that he decided to make a quick buck and leave. Naturally, the people from the Noxian warband that cooperated with him thought the same.
Not all Noxians are warlike. Take the warband he cooperated with for example, the general and master of the warband was a man who only wanted to make money, so his warband, apart from being conscripted, spent most of their time robbing tombs in Shurima, digging for treasures, or looting villages and nomads.
This was allowed because that was the strategy set by their commander. Those forces that joined Noxus could receive protection from Noxus and would not be robbed by sand bandits or Noxians.
The person who made this plan.
It's called Swain.
Li Ke knew what he was doing here, which was why he did not hesitate to pull Lee Sin, Shen, and Udyr to rush to the Bastion of Endless to launch a surprise attack.
Xiweier also saw through the hidden trick of this person, which was simply to lure them to the vicinity of his camp and then surround them to ensure his own life.
After all, no one will completely base his life on the kindness and promises of others, and there are many cases of people abandoning their loved ones after they have done their job.
"Want to go?"
Xiweier glanced at Li Ke.
“It’s not a big problem.”
Li Ke didn't care. He was actually quite curious about how these so-called adventurers operated, so he was somewhat interested.
"Then follow me."
Sivir nodded to Samira, and Samira kicked the guide in the butt, making him roll on the ground for a few times.
"Let's go."
They abandoned the corpses here and followed the guide with his hands tied behind his back into the depths of the jungle. The closer they got to the location the guide mentioned, the weirder Li Ke felt.
Because it’s so lively.
From a distance, Li Ke saw the iconic Noxian fortress. Not only that, the roar of a large number of machines continued to be heard. Before he saw the camp, Li Ke saw several trees fallen down.
"It looks like these guys are not only robbing and grave-robbing, but are also cutting down Shuriman timber."
Li Ke looked at the big trees and began to have less and less good feelings towards these 'adventurers'.
Most of those trees are more than ten meters tall and can be hugged by two or three people. Many of them have obviously taken decades or even hundreds of years to grow. There are even quite a few rare species among them.
Among the fallen trees that Li Ke saw was a rare tree species that only grew one centimeter a year. This tree species had very powerful magical abilities and could make the land within a radius of several thousand meters fertile. The fallen tree was at least thirty meters high and could improve the soil quality within a radius of four kilometers.
But now it is treated as ordinary tree felling.
“This is really a waste of resources.”
As they approached, spies and farmers spotted them one by one, and then quickly, teams of Noxians began to gather around them, secretly encircling them.
But the ones who appeared in front of them were indeed...
"Shuriman."
Samira clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction and revealed the nationalities and identities of these people.
Most of the people standing in their way were Shurima lumberjacks. They were wearing tattered clothes and looked at Li Ke nervously and hostilely, because if their employer was killed, they would lose their job as lumberjacks.
Next to them were the people of Piltover, whose clothes were slightly better than those of the Shurimans. They sat on the steam engines, looking at their team in confusion.
When the guide was pushed out, the people of Piltover belatedly realized what was happening and began to get excited . Then a guy who looked like a foreman stood up.
He took out a contract written in Shurima and his identity certificate as a Piltover citizen. Li Ke took a quick look at what was written on the contract. It was a statement allowing them to mine wood. The name was of a lord of some kind.
"Warriors of Shurima, what are you doing? We have legal mining and exploration licenses! Are you doing this to offend your Lord Thrallmar, Piltover and Noxus?"
Li Ke was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly became furious.
Of course, he didn't do it for Shurima, but because of this style...
He is so familiar!
