Chapter 620: Big Changes in Noxus
In this world, there are more terrifying existences than one another, but the same thing is that there are also countless ordinary people in this world.
Places like Demacia and Noxus have countless ordinary people.
To build a castle like the Immortal Fortress, it not only requires the efforts of countless ordinary people, but also countless magicians, and...
The lives of ordinary people and magicians.
The Immortal Bastion was built on blood, and this has three meanings.
First, it was built with the lives of countless people. It is impossible to build such a fortress in this era without the death of tens of thousands of people.
Second, during construction, special construction methods require special treatment. The rulers of Noxus throughout the ages have used various methods to reinforce the fortress. Blood magic, human pillars and other methods are very normal in this era.
Third, the blood of the enemy and one's own warriors. Although Noxus is powerful, it is not powerful all the time. Noxus has been hit in the heart more than once and can only rely on the solidity of the Immortal Fortress to defend itself.
However, such a castle, which had stood for countless years and had been proven to be indestructible by the blood of countless people, was destroyed silently!
"What the hell is going on!"
Darkwill, standing in the middle of a palace, angrily threw his cup to the ground. He looked at his mage advisor angrily, but his spell advisor looked at the dust and could not say a word.
Because he really didn't know what was going on. Such powerful magic was far beyond his imagination. If he had to describe it, he could only say that the life of the Immortal Fortress ended in an instant.
Whether it is the dust of the soldiers inside or the dust of the stones, they have all died of old age.
The stone died due to weathering, the soldier died due to normal lifespan, and the same went for the bones. Everything was normal.
But the abnormal thing is that all their lifespan disappeared in an instant and they became "dead objects".
Yes, the ruins of the entire castle and the earth, the only word he could think of was death.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. The only thing we know is that when the castle changed, everyone in the castle fell into a different world and quickly aged and died. The Immortal Fortress is too old, so old that we don't even know what's inside. So it's very likely that a seal left by a certain king broke out, or some ancient magic broke out at this moment. In short... there are many possibilities."
The mage consultant tried hard to express his guess, but the answer did not satisfy Darkwill at all. He glanced at his mage consultant coldly, and it was not difficult to hear his disappointment in his words.
"So that's your answer?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Since the entire castle has been reduced to ashes, there is basically no way to investigate it."
The wizard consultant nodded, and then quickly thought of something - since the entire castle had disappeared, then the accounts of the bills and project funds...
In an instant, the wizard felt that his mood became particularly good, especially when he thought that because of this disaster, many of his dirty hands and feet disappeared and would never be cured, he became even happier.
"Okay, I understand."
Darkwill took a deep breath and waved his hand, signaling the advisor to leave.
It was not because he was satisfied with the mage's report, but simply because he felt that if the mage consultant continued to stay by his side, he would not be able to help but want to kill him.
Just as the spell advisor stepped away, Swain, who had been sitting quietly on the side, spoke.
"Your Majesty, do you need me to organize another team to investigate? I also have a way to restore the lost documents and public accounts."
Darkwill shook his head and waved his hands.
"No, they are probably partying now, so don't disturb their mood. Also, call back the troops and civilian workers from Freljord to quickly rebuild the Immortal Fortress. By the way, notify the front line to send all the prisoners here to build the fortress. Also..."
Darkwill looked at Swain.
"Order the mage troops to be on standby at all times and sacrifice any slaves who are unable to continue working to make our new fortress stronger."
"yes."
Swain didn't hesitate at all, because this was the norm.
This is how the world of magic is. If ordinary people want to fight against powerful people, they can only pay with their own lives.
As for whether it is effective...
Some guys who look like ordinary people, such as Revan and Darius, look like mortals and don't have much magic, but this is actually wrong.
There is magic in these people's bodies, but because they have not been well developed, the magic only works on their bodies.
Therefore, in this world, it is not impossible for a warrior who has not received any magic training to rush forward under the spell of a magician. After all, in this world, strong will itself is a kind of magic.
The physical fitness and reaction speed of people like Darius, Draven, and Riven, as well as their combat abilities, can actually be considered a kind of magic.
Not only can their bodies carry powerful magic, but they also contain another kind of magic, it's just not as obvious.
Therefore, in this world, fortresses that use blood sacrifices and human pillars are indeed stronger than other fortresses. And the stronger the warriors, the better the effect.
When Darkwill was young, he was also such a warrior. He could easily lead his soldiers to break through the formation and easily avoid the spells of mages.
Even relying solely on instinct, he can find traps and enemy flaws, and pierce the wizard's shield with one sword, killing the wizard.
But now, he only felt powerless, and just as he sat back on the throne, he suddenly thought of something.
If a fortress made of the souls and blood of the enemy can ensure its strength, then using loyal elite warriors as human pillars would make the fortress more stable and better able to protect his safety?
The more he thought about it, the more tempted Darkwill became, so he couldn't help but look at a list, a list of the most elite warriors he could trust now.
There was a name on it.
Bloody Elite.
Riven.
But it's not just her, almost all the warriors without family background are on this list.
Swain, who was originally planning to go down and convey the order, suddenly heard the cry of crows at this time. He couldn't help but look back and saw this scene.
