Chapter 107: The Rise of the Iron Empire, the Threat from the Underworld

[“Destiny, Domination, Fraud. Lord of Life and Death! Lord of the Three Realms!!”]
[“Oh my god, he is indeed an ambitious warlord. Now he even dares to dream of unifying the three realms.”]
[“My mind is so terrible that I feel dizzy!”]
[“There is no god in the underworld, so I will become the god of the underworld. What kind of person can have such courage and determination?”]
[“The true king’s appearance.”]
[“He has a very big plan. He returned to the real world and killed people desperately, just to obtain the army of the undead and accumulate strength.”]
[“From this perspective, among all the villains, Mordekaiser is probably the number one.”]
[“No matter his personal terrifying strength or the army of the dead in the underworld, it seems that no one can defeat him.”]
[“He has ambition, strength, and brains. He is truly terrifying.”]
[“Then the question is, when will he come to the human world again?”]
[“I think it will take a long time and at least one opportunity.”]

At this moment, the sound of vying for the ring was heard again on the stage.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Han Sinian quickly walking out from the separate compartment.

Under the guidance of the referee, he went to the second champion position on the side of the stage and waited.

"Ah, it goes by so fast, two hours have passed!" Jiang Tao, who was sitting on the judges' panel, glanced at the electronic watch on his chair and sighed.

Liu Ciping rubbed his sore shoulders and smiled, "He is still as steady as ever. However, I have to say that listening to the story is much more comfortable than reading the text plot."

Chen Kaige also joined in: "Really? It's easy to immerse yourself in it without using your brain."

"Huh?" Liu Yifei said in surprise, "There's a second contestant trying to take the stage. Do you want to speak together?"

Chen Kaige explained: "No, you have to wait in line. At least wait until Su Xinghe finishes telling his story before it can be his turn."

"Oh, I see." Liu Yifei smiled brightly, "Luckily they didn't change the actors, otherwise the story would be interrupted suddenly and I would go crazy."

"Don't worry, Junior Sister Liu, the competition rules will not ruin our audience's experience."

At this time, on the stage.

Su Xinghe turned his head and took a look. He was still hesitating whether to continue speaking, but he saw the referee nodding to him.

He quickly understood, then turned around and continued:
"Mordekaiser has returned to the underworld."

"Since then, the Noxian people have lived as a tribe with the Immortal Fortress as their center for nearly four hundred years."

"Until the catastrophe known as the Rune War broke out, and most of Runeterra was once again engulfed in flames of war."

"The Valoran continent suffered unprecedented destruction, and the land was devastated."

"At the critical moment of the war, the last group of Noxians hid in the Immortal Fortress in time."

"This is a huge stone fortress built by Mordekaiser. It is almost impossible to break through from the outside. Therefore, the Noxian people avoided the disaster of genocide."

"Later, the Rune War ended, and the surviving Noxian people merged into a unified tribe and officially changed their name to-"

"Noxus."

"They used the Immortal Fortress as their foundation and formally established a new order by electing a king."

"The former barbarian tribe has now developed into a city-state empire."

[“My goodness, this is how Noxus was born!”]
[“I thought it was a continuation of Mordekaiser’s empire, but it turns out it’s not.”]
[“It makes sense, too, that the Noxians overthrew the tyranny of Mordekaiser and established a new empire in the name of their tribe.”]
[“I just don’t know what the ending of Leblanc will be. She is a meritorious official, so she should be elected as the first king, right?”]
[“That’s right, but what I’m most curious about is why she is called Leblanc the Deceiver?”]
Su Xinghe continued:

"Time flies, and a thousand years pass in the blink of an eye."

"The former Noxian tribe has gone through countless generations of cultivation and hard work, as well as Leblanc's secret manipulation."

"The empire has risen and become a giant on the Valoran continent."

"Of course, their road to rise was not an easy one, but was accompanied by bloody battles and brutal invasions."

"It is not difficult to understand why Noxus continues to expand." "First of all, it is the warlike gene inherited by the Noxian tribe. It flows in the blood of every Noxian people, making them born with a desire for conquest."

"Secondly, the capital of Noxus, where the Immortal Bastion is located, is located on the remote northern coast of Valoran. The area is barren and desolate and cannot be self-sufficient."

"This also forced them to expand outwards and seek to occupy rich lands."

"Besides, at that time, there were many city-states surrounding Noxus, and it was very easy for it to fall into a dangerous situation surrounded by enemies. If we did not take the initiative to attack, it would only be a matter of time before it was destroyed."

"So, they began to invade everywhere, sweeping across all the surrounding countries with the attitude of revenge and not returning until victory is achieved."

"that's it."

"After thousands of years of war, Noxus has gradually risen from a small city-state in a remote corner to become—"

"The most powerful empire in Valoran and even in the entire Runeterra."

[“Huh! I finally understand.”]
[“No wonder they dared to initiate a war. They are the First Empire of Runeterra.”]
[“Okay, I admit that I was superficial before. I thought that Noxians were bad at heart, but it turns out that they were forced to do so by survival.”]
[“It was remarkable that they dared to resist Mordekaiser and overthrew his tyranny.”]
[“Yes, although they later took war and aggression as glory, this empire is still worthy of respect.”]
"However--"

"Even though they fought all over the world, their iron hooves trampled all over the world."

“But for those who know the history, the Immortal Fortress is still awe-inspiring.”

"What they fear most is that one day, the dark tyrant will return and descend upon the world again."

"By then, the entire Noxus, and even the entire Valoran continent, will once again be dominated by darkness and fall into endless fear."

"of course."

"There are also some ambitious people in Runeterra who are eager to awaken the long-buried secrets beneath the Immortal Fortress."

“They spared no expense to hire explorers like Ezreal to find out all the information about the underworld.”

"And now."

"Under the Immortal Fortress, undercurrents have long been surging, ready to explode."

"It was a kingdom of the dead that Mordekaiser had built over countless years and with all his efforts. It is a kingdom that is completely above death."

"The Underworld—"

"Mitna Lachen."

"In fact, at the moment when Mordekaiser was sent back into the underworld."

"The conflict between Noxus and the Underworld is inevitable."

"This war of restoration that spans the ages is both a destiny and fate."

"The situation in Runeterra is changing rapidly. If we can prevent the return of the Dark Lord, Noxus may have a future."

"And now."

"Whether it is the "Commander" who controls the devil or the "Rose" who hides in the dark, they are all secretly making plans to prepare for the dark storm in the future."
