Chapter 144: Colonel General, commander of both armies, and folk hero of Noxus!

"The earliest ones can be traced back to the early days of Noxus."

“It may even be earlier.”

“So, it depends on seniority.”

"Kled is much older than the Imperial rulers like Swain and Darius."

"He joined the predecessor tribe of Noxus long before Noxus was founded."

"Because of those legendary deeds, he is an idol revered by many soldiers."

“And this has made those commanders increasingly worried, because some people in the battle group claimed that they had actually fought alongside him.”

"It is circulated, such as——"

“There are countless exaggerated stories of great light cavalry victories, the return of high-ranking major-general marshals, and admirals in the mountains.”

"There's something behind that."

"Kled has fought in every campaign the Empire has ever waged, held every military title, and never backed away from a single battle."

[“Shut up! Folk hero?!”]
[“The early days of Noxus? How could he have survived so long?”]
[“Not a mortal”]
[“That makes him a big shot from the same era as Leblanc and the vampires!!”]
[“If the rumor is true, it’s too exaggerated. He participated in every battle of Noxus.”]
[“???”]
[“That’s contradictory. Since he participated in the battle, why are his deeds only circulated among the people? Shouldn’t they be recorded in the official history?”]
[“It is indeed a small bug. Let’s see what Su Shen has to say next.”]
"In the streets of Noxus."

"There are many versions of Kled's story, but no matter which version it is, his mount is bound to be mentioned."

"Kled's mount is called Skaarl, a desert dragon lizard."

"Besides, she's a girl."

"but."

"Compared to the native dragon lizards of Noxus, Skaarl is much smaller."

"It can be said that he is a perfect match for Kled, who is a Yordle."

[“Yordle? This word seems to have appeared for the second time.”]
[“The last one was Veigar, it seems he has turned into an evil little wizard.”]
[“I guess Yodel is a race, a tribe of dwarves!”]
it's here.

Su Xinghe gave a brief explanation.

"That's right!"

"This furious knight is actually a member of the Yodel tribe."

"From a completely different land - Bandle City."

"The Yodel race is small in size, but each one is more survivable than the other!"

"Pull out any one of them at random, and his age may be at the same level as our ancestors."

"But there is one special one."

"That's Kled!"

"He moved from Bandle City to the Noxian tribe after the Rune Wars, and then witnessed the founding of Noxus."

[Nothing is more beautiful than the plains of Noxus.]

[Except for the dead bodies.]

[My territory does not require civility and courtesy, what I need is——]

【Lawless and free. 】

【Well, I like the outside world. 】

【Free and listen to nature. 】

[“It’s a dwarf indeed!!”]
[“Bandle City, this is another new place, where is it?”]
["do not know."]
[“Then why did he join Noxus? Is Bandle City no longer able to accommodate him, or is there something else going on?”]
[“I don’t mind. Since this race has a long life span, what’s the problem with them being able to travel anywhere?”]
[“I guess there’s something about Noxus that appeals to him.”]
[“Look at the last few sentences. He just likes the outside world and the feeling of freedom.”]
[“Hiss, I suddenly remembered, where’s Vega? Why is there no news from him?”]
After a pause.

Su Xinghe continued, "In the history of Noxus, the earliest record of Kled was in the 'First Battle of Druune'."

"This is a war between Noxus and barbarians, taking place in a gray and desolate mountain range."

"at that time."

"The commander of the Noxian army is a noble named Zavayan."

"Under his leadership, the Noxian war group was pursued by the barbarians."

"Oh, no."

"It should be called relentless pursuit."

"It was so tragic that even the supply convoys were abandoned on the march due to the disastrous defeat in the two battles."

“And this time.”

"They are at least a week's walk away from the nearest reinforcement base."

"It can be said that they have reached a dead end and are about to face death."

"As the commander, Zawayan was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night."

"But after much thought, he finally came up with a temporary solution."

"At night, he ordered his soldiers to form a defensive ring, surrounding his base camp in the middle, fighting and retreating at the same time."

"At the same time, it is also to buy him some time to think."

"For Zawayan."

"Compared to the lives of his soldiers, he is actually more worried about his own face after returning."

"If victory is not achieved."

"Then at least make sure you return to Noxus in a glamorous and beautiful manner."

"For this purpose, he even prepared a set of high-quality new armor for himself."

[“Jue Jue Zi!”]
[“Why are all Noxian commanders so cunning? Last time, that Valdis was so scared by Demacia that he didn’t dare to leave the city.”]
[“This time, he didn’t think about how to win the battle, but wanted to use the dead bodies of the soldiers to pave a way home for him.”]
[“You are such a wimp, you are such a wimp!”]
[“Look at Darius. He’s outnumbered, but he still kills people!”]
[“There are also differences between generals.”]
[“Finally I understand why Noxus can’t defeat Ionia!”]
["Why?"]
[“Generals like Swain, Darius, and Duke Kao are only a minority who fight for the honor of the empire.”]
[“There are probably many such cowardly commanders in the Noxian army.”]
[“I strongly agree!!”]
So much for that.

Su Xinghe wrote down two lines.

[Are you ready? Skaarl!]

【Let's kill those guys who barged in blindly. 】

Then, continue the story:
"That night, the soldiers formed a defensive circle and resisted several attacks by the barbarians, but suffered heavy casualties."

"The next morning."

"As the sun shines on the battlefield, the barbarians launch another massive attack."

"Just when the morale of the entire unit was low and the grassroots soldiers were complaining."

"On the distant mountain peak, the mysterious figure of Kled appeared."

"He rode a desert dragon lizard, his weapon was rusty, his armor was worn out, and his clothes were ragged."

"But contempt and anger were pouring out of his only intact eye."

"At that moment, it didn't matter if it was Noxian or barbarian."

"After seeing Kled, a big question mark popped up in my head."

"Who is this guy? And where did he come from?"
