Legends of Runeterra

"Lord Li En, General Bouvier is here to visit!"

"Okay, I understand. Come on, Wayne, let's go meet Uncle Barrett together."

"Okay Lee En."

Putting down the book in his hand, Li En took Wayne to the living room.

A tall and strong figure sat upright on the sofa.

"Good day, Uncle Barrett!"

"Hahaha~! Good day, Li En and Wei En!"

"Uncle Barrett, the banquet just ended yesterday. Could it be that you..."

"That's right, this is His Majesty's arrangement, and I happen to be leaving Xiongdu for a while, so I thought of bringing your guards over to you.

Don't worry, they are all top-notch experts carefully selected by me!

and..."

Barrett paused deliberately, his eyes swept across Wayne beside him, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"And what? Uncle Barrett."

"There's a little surprise among these guards. Let's go! They're all lined up outside waiting. Let's go over and take a look!"

Barrett waved and took the initiative to walk outside.

Li En and Wayne looked at each other in confusion, then followed.

We arrived at the front yard at the entrance of the manor, which was like a square.

The sky was clear and the air was bright. Under the bright sunshine, a square formation of a hundred people stood quietly.

The blue smock over the silver armor is the most authentic Demacia military style.

Seeing Li En and the other two appear, the fully armored soldier standing alone at the front of the square formation moved.

"Line up! Salute!"

“Tap! Tap! Boom!”

The soldiers stepped forward in unison, tapping their chests with their right hands.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Li En nod slightly, with a look of satisfaction on his face. Barrett's mouth curled up.

"Hahaha~! Very good! Very energetic!

Come, young men, meet your leader, the one who defeated all the top fifty duelists in Xiongdu at a duel banquet with a two-on-fifty ratio—Viscount Li En!"

"I have met the Viscount!"

"Hello everyone!"

Although it was not very loud, the calm and steady voice rang in the ears of every soldier. This performance alone made the soldiers feel happy - the officer assigned to them this time was capable.

"Li En, these 100 people are the guards I picked for you. If you go to the battlefield in the future, they will be your personal guards.

Due to His Majesty's special arrangement, they are temporarily independent of any military organization. Depending on which legion you are assigned to during wartime, they will automatically be incorporated into that legion.

In addition, according to the rules, they are all stationed in the military district in Xiongdu, and you can keep a few of them as regular dispatch personnel."

"Okay, Uncle Barrett, I'll remember that."

"Well, you can communicate with the centurion to find out the specific situation of these soldiers. Finally, about the surprise I mentioned..."

"The Centurion is Caleb, right?"

Although it was a question, Li En's tone was very certain.

"Hahaha~! You're good, kid. I can tell just by listening to the sound!

Caleb, come here!"

"Yes!"

The centurion at the head of the phalanx stepped forward, took off his helmet and tucked it under his arm.

"Caleb, meet Lord Li En!"

"Well, it's been a while, Caleb, how have you been lately?"

"Sir, during this period of time studying in the training camp, my strength has greatly improved!"

"Haha~! That's good."

Li En nodded, then slightly turned his gaze to look at Barrett beside him.

"Uncle Barrett, since you mentioned a surprise, and Caleb is here, it's not possible..."

"Hahaha~! Li En, you youngsters are still quick to react, that's right!"

Barrett laughed and turned to face the phalanx.

"Centurion Quinn, step out!"

"Yes!"

A clear voice was heard from the right rear of the square formation, and a figure that looked somewhat slender compared to the others trotted up to the few people.

The girl with a high ponytail took off her helmet, pursed her lips slightly, and looked at Li En with a look of nervousness, excitement and joy.

"Quinn, meet Master Li En and Master Barrett!"

"Long time no see, Quinn!"

"Hahaha~! How about this, is this a surprise?

Quinn and Caleb are both outstanding talents. I put a lot of thought into assigning these two centurions to the same guard for you!"

"Haha~! Uncle Barrett is thoughtful."

"Okay, okay, now that I'm done, I'll be leaving.

We have to set out for the border this afternoon. Those Freljord raiders are going to plunder food supplies before winter comes!"

"Okay, I'll see you off this afternoon."

"No need. The army is on a long journey and we can't go forward to talk. It's a waste of time for you to just watch from afar, Li En!"

"Well, I'll take you to the carriage."

Watching Barrett's carriage leave with a smile on his face, Li En felt the softness of his arm that had been clinging to him ever since Quinn appeared.

Making eye contact with Wayne, Li En understood what the other party meant.

After rubbing her little head, Li En and the other person walked towards the square formation.

"Everyone, you have heard from Mr. Barrett before that I am Li En, and I was conferred the title of 'Hereditary Viscount' by His Majesty the Third.

You will have a chance to see my strength. Now, follow the butler Mott to the courtyard to rest for an hour, and then gather and return to the barracks!"

"Yes, Master Li En!"

"Quinn, Caleb, both of you follow me!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Letting Wayne hold his arm, Li En took the Quinn siblings to the reception room.

Along the way, Li En could feel the gaze falling on his back, and he took a look at the bond value on Quinn's panel.

"34%?"

Li En's mouth corners slightly raised.

And Weien, who had been paying attention to him, didn't know why Li En smiled, but the girl's intuition made her inexplicably unhappy.

Her rosy little lips pouted, and she began to think about how to punish Li En a little.

"Quinn, Caleb, please take a seat!"

"Yes, Master Li En!"

In the luxurious reception room, the Quinn brother and sister were visibly restrained.

Looking at the two of them sitting cautiously on the sofa with their backs straight, Li En showed a gentle smile.

"Haha~! If there are no outsiders, just call me Li En!"

"Li Enda..."

The brother and sister stood up and wanted to salute.

"After joining the army, do you no longer recognize me as your friend?"

"of course not!"

"No, no..."

"Then it's settled. From now on, we will just call each other by our first names in private."

"Okay, Lee...Lee En."

"Well, by the way, let me introduce you, this is Shawna Wayne, the person I'm dating!"

Li En's simple words stunned the three of them.

A few seconds later, Caleb was the first to react.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Wayne!"

Caleb greeted, nudging Quinn lightly.

"Hello...Hello, Miss Wayne!"

"Hello...Hello..."

Wayne, with a blush on her face, stood up and bowed gracefully to the two of them.

She lowered her head and glared at Li En, but she couldn't hide the smile on her lips.
