Chapter 124: Quereta Rebellion, the Delai Brothers Go to Suppress it
"Quietta."

At this time, Darius stroked her shoulders and comforted her: "The sword in your hand is not only for war and killing, but also to protect everything we cherish."

["Depend on!!"]
[“Darius and Quilieta also participated in the Ionian invasion war.”]
[“As I mentioned before, Darius was ordered to go to Ionia.”]
[“Navoli? Such a familiar name!”]
[“Hint: Riven is being sent to deliver special weapons through the border province.”]
[“Damn it, it’s this Zaun alchemist’s chemical weapons again!”]
[“I’m now wondering if this person is a mad scientist.”]
[“No, the one who developed this forbidden weapon should be called Breaking Bad.”]
[“Noxus is simply insane. They are so cruel. Aren’t they afraid of retribution?”]
[“Brother, this is Runeland, and there is retribution. If there was retribution, then Darkin and Mordekaiser would have died eight hundred times already.”]
When the familiar tragedy happens again.

Seeing once again the Ionian people being massacred by chemical weapons, the audience could not help but feel angry and sad for their plight.

Remembering that Riven had also experienced such a tragedy, they were filled with righteous indignation and denounced Noxus' inhumane and cruel methods.

It took a long time for the audience's anger to gradually dissipate.

Next, Su Xinghe gave a brief summary and extension of the above plot.

"I would like to add that."

"The rift in the relationship between Darius and Quirieta is actually easy to explain."

"After they parted at Black Rock Lake, they never met again."

"Darius was on the campaigns at the time and had no time to care for Quelleta, who was far away from home, let alone visit her in advance to maintain their relationship."

"More than ten years!"

"No matter how good their relationship was before, it can't withstand the erosion of time."

"However, at that time on the battlefield in Ionia."

"Although they are no longer partners, they are still comrades fighting side by side. Therefore, their relationship is not so awkward."

"Okay, let's finish this."

"Let's get back to the story."

"Noxus has resorted to using Zaun alchemists' poison weapons to conquer Ionia."

"Except for Quelleta, at that time."

"Almost all Noxian generals regarded this operation as a great victory towards peace."

"They praised the power of alchemists' weapons in front of the bodies of innocent Ionian civilians."

“Even Darius simply told Cyrus that all obstacles to going to Navoli had been removed.”

"Although Quelleta was very dissatisfied, she did not make any radical arguments in the end out of loyalty to Noxus."

"Originally, this matter ended here."

"But what happened next caused Darius and Quelleta to drift apart completely."

[“Ah, this.”]
[“No contact for more than ten years?”]
[“Darius is really a man who can endure it. He actually gave up love for his career.”]
[“At this moment, I finally understand what it means to be ruthless.”]
[“Straight man!!”]
[“So, what happened next?”]
"I think everyone knows."

"Noxus lost this battle."

"And just as they were evacuating from Ionia, an accident happened."

"Quietta suddenly discovered that the wound on his right arm was also infected with the alchemical poison."

"When the bandages were removed, the entire arm had already rotted away. If it wasn't amputated immediately, the poison would have spread throughout her body."

"So, Quilieta desperately begged Darius to kill her."

"She was tortured by the severe pain and wanted to die at this moment."

"However--"

"Darius responded:"

"You can't die. You still have to fight for Noxus."

"I just finished speaking."

"Darius immediately ordered the physician to cut off Quelleta's right arm with a steel knife tempered by fire."

"The heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the ship. Darius's indifference and ruthlessness towards Quelleta once again broke her heart."

"For Darius, this was the only way to save Quelleta."

“But he didn’t realize it at all.”

“That arm once saved him from death on the edge of a cliff.” [“I’m numb.”]
[“Another twist. Does Quelleta deserve only to be tortured?”]
[“Oh my, how did Darius become like this? He used to be a tough guy with a soft heart, but now he has become such a stranger.”]
[“Alas, if you spend more than ten years on the battlefield, you will become like this.”]
[“I feel like he is very similar to Swain, who would do anything for the glory of the empire.”]
[“I used to like his role, but now it’s hard to evaluate.”]
[“He was helpless. How could childhood sweethearts not have feelings for each other?”]
[“Saving Quelleta is more important than losing an arm.”]
"to here."

"I don't need to say more about the follow-up."

"After this battle, Swain, the commander-in-chief, was expelled from the army."

"Although Darius, as a good friend, openly opposed and spoke out for justice, it did not change Swain's final outcome."

"Since then."

"Swain retreats."

"Quilleta returned to his hometown after recovering from his injuries in the Noxian capital."

"Darius said nothing and made no comment on this."

“And at this moment.”

"Darkwill ordered him to lead his troops deep into the northern Freljord, hoping to make those barbarian tribes submit to the empire."

“So, Darius took the order and went immediately without any hesitation.”

"And there."

“He’s had a lot of tough fights.”

“The campaign to conquer the Freljord drags on, but progress is nil.”

"Many years have passed, and it's still a bitter, cold stalemate."

"Darius has been in danger many times, including assassinations, ambushes, and even captured by the vicious Winter Claw tribe."

"Gradually."

"He is tired of the endless war of attrition, so he plans to return to Noxus to deploy troops and consolidate his combat power."

"But I never thought about it."

“As soon as he returned to Noxus, he received two shocking pieces of news.”

"First,—"

"Swain staged a coup and executed Emperor Darkwill."

"Moreover, this coup has gained the support of many allies, including his brother Draven."

"two is--"

"The Quelletas revolted in their homeland and declared independence."

After a pause.

Su Xinghe continued:
"Darius is in a very awkward situation at this time."

"As the Hand of Noxus."

"Many nobles at the time believed that he would avenge Darkwill."

Su Xinghe sighed.

"What a pity."

“The reality is not what they want.”

"Darius didn't have much trouble with Swain's seizure of power."

"Because he served Noxus, not any particular ruler."

"Plus, the two have known each other for a long time, and Darius respects Swain from the bottom of his heart."

"So, he thinks Swain is a leader worth following."

“As for Quelleta’s uprising, Darius seemed somewhat sad and melancholy.”

"Although he felt bad about it, for the sake of the empire, he and Draven went there in person to suppress the rebels."

[“It has been confirmed that Darius must be the military representative of the Three-Man Council.”]
[“Who else could he be except for his unrivaled fighting power and his support for Swain?”]
[“So, although Noxus has a separation of powers, in reality, the real power is still controlled by Swain.”]
[“What a deep scheming and plotting! Leblanc has really met her match.”]
[“Tsk tsk, now comes the interesting part. The childhood sweethearts and lovers of the past are finally going to turn against each other and kill each other.”]
[“The foreshadowing is about to be revealed!”]
