Legends of Runeterra

A few days later, in the morning, Li En came to Belfgan's study.

"Good day, General Belfugan!"

"Good day, Li En. Are you used to it these days?"

"It's great. Ionia has a unique environment. It's a blessing for the citizens of the Empire that General Belfgan can occupy such fertile land for the Empire!"

"Hahaha~! You're too kind, Li En. Once I solve those problems, Baruch will be liberated by the Empire!

Li En, I invited you here today because I have good news!"

"Oh? Please speak, General!"

"The ship carrying the cargo will be here soon!"

Li En quickly raised his head with obvious surprise on his face.

"Great General, they're finally arriving!"

"Well, even though you know that, I still have to remind you again that the power of that batch of 'cargo' is very strong. You must be careful!"

Belfgang warned the young man in front of him with a serious expression. He didn't want anything to happen to Li En.

By then, forget about forming an alliance. If Hilda doesn't deal with him in front of the commander-in-chief, it would be the end of the world.

Li En nodded, with a hint of innocence unique to young people on his face.

"Well, don't worry, I know! Lady Hilda prepared a talisman for me, so a little alchemical venom is not a big problem!"

"Okay, I'm relieved in that case! The ship will arrive at the port in half an hour!"

"Then General, I'd better go directly to the port and wait!"

"Alright, go ahead then, and take my warrant with you!"

After taking Belfgan's warrant, Li En saluted and left.

...

"Lower the sails! Drop the anchor!"

With the captain's loud shouts, the ship docked steadily in the port.

'I will take this land for the Empire!'

Standing on the deck, looking at the Imperial flag flying in the distance and the Noxian soldiers everywhere, Riven couldn't help but stroke the back of the Rune Blade, with undercurrents surging in her heart.

"Master Riven, there is a master waiting for you under the ship!"

"Okay, I know!"

Hearing that someone was waiting for her, Riven felt that her responsibility this time was even greater, so she quickly got off the boat.

Passing through the crowd carrying goods, in the pergola not far away, there was a tall and straight figure wearing black and red aristocratic clothing.

Riven walked quickly forward and stood straight.

"Imperial Swordsman Riven, I am here to greet you... is it you!?"

As the other person stood up and turned around, his face appeared in front of Riven.

Although he was much taller, his handsome face and behavior left a deep impression on Riven.

As soon as they met, Riven recognized each other.

"Huh!? Swordmaster Riven knows me?"

Faced with Li En's curious gaze, Riven was speechless for a moment. After all, she couldn't tell anyone about what happened at the dinner that day. That would be a bit embarrassing, and it would also make her seem like a peeping thief, even if she really had accidentally bumped into him having trysts with different noble ladies twice in a row.

"Uh... this... I'm sorry, I made a mistake, you... you look a lot like someone I've seen before!"

As soon as she said this, Riven felt extremely regretful.

She raised her head and looked at Li En's expression. As expected, although the other party tried his best to suppress it, Riven still saw the smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Haha~! That's really fate! If there is a chance, Swordmaster Riven can introduce him to me!"

“Okay…Okay…”

Riven appeared very calm on the surface, but in fact she was deeply regretful. Giving such a lame excuse made her look no different than the idiot who forced a conversation at a dinner party.

And the other person's half-smile looked like he was obviously making fun of her.

But it all stemmed from her inappropriate words.

Feeling the heavy rune blade on her back, Riven remembered the responsibilities she carried.

"Hoo~!"

Taking a deep breath, Riven crushed the messy thoughts in her mind, and her brown eyes regained their calmness.

"Sir, the 'goods' have been delivered. When will we start the next step?"

"Just call me Li En. As for when to start, I am not the commander of this operation!"

"That..."

"Amystan! I'll leave the rest to you!"

Riven followed Li En's gaze and saw a short and strong female warrior with scars all over her face slowly walking towards them.

"Understood, Master Li En, just leave it to me!"

"Okay, I'll be leaving now. See you Riven!"

"Master Li En, take care!"

Riven simply saluted, while Amystan beside her bowed respectfully.

When Li En got on the carriage and left, Amystan straightened up and turned to look at Riven.

Looking directly into the other person's eyes, Amystan raised her chin slightly.

Obviously, she was much shorter than Riven, but with Amystan's look, Riven always felt that she was looking down on her.

But Riven, who was only focused on the mission now, didn't pay attention to these trivial matters.

"Hello, Amystan!"

"Hehe! Hello, Swordmaster Riven~!"

As soon as Amystan opened her mouth, Riven confirmed what kind of person the other party was, and knew what would happen next and how to deal with it.

She touched the back of the Rune Blade and wanted to attack directly.

But considering that I'm a newcomer, I'd better wait for the other party to perform first.

...

The next day, it was daybreak.

After resting, Riven and her regiment waited quietly.

Not far from her regiment was Amistan's regiment.

It’s just a little strange that Amystan, who used to be proud of the scars on her face, wore a fully enclosed helmet for the first time today.

“Click! Click!”

The sound of horse hooves came from far away, until it stopped in front of the two regiments.

"Morning, Riven, Amystan!"

Li En slowly got off the carriage and greeted the two of them casually.

Riven frowned slightly, but when she saw that Li En was not wearing yesterday's aristocratic clothing, but had changed into an inconspicuous standard armor, her disgust was slightly reduced.

But she didn't say anything, just gave Li En a Noxian military salute.

"Good morning, Lord Li En!"

Amystan bowed and a dull voice came from under the helmet.

"Hey! Amystan, why are you suddenly wearing a helmet today?"

"Haha, Master Li En, this time we are facing the 'Wuji Village', so it's never too much to be careful!"

"Is that so? Then I'll ask Amystan and the others to protect me!"

"Of course sir, this is our responsibility!"

Seeing the two of them chatting as if they were out on a spring outing, Riven's face couldn't help but turn cold.

"Master Li En, Amystan, it's getting late, shall we set off?"

Faced with Riven's sudden interruption, Amystan looked at her coldly under the helmet but said nothing.

"Oh! Let's go then!"

Li En didn't care at all and nodded with a smile.

Seeing this, Riven felt a little relieved.

Although this noble was a bit of a scumbag, at least he listened to her and would not hinder her, and Amystan had been persuaded by her personally yesterday.

All manpower is under Riven's control, and she will definitely complete this mission beautifully!
