Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 696: The 'murderous intention' from the brother-in-law

"Click~!"

Garen gripped the hilt of the sword, the arm armor creaking from the bulging muscles of his forearms, and the mechanism that was stuck on the back of the Storm Sword suddenly bounced open under the sudden burst of huge force.

"Bang~!"

A small dent was created by his kick on the hard ground mixed with magic-forbidden stones. Garen twisted his body and transferred all his strength to the greatsword.

“Hula~!”

The air whistled like a mournful sound, and before the sword blade, which was as tall as a person, arrived, the violent airflow pulled the corner of Li En's clothes to swing violently.

"careful!"

Even though she knew Li En's strength, facing this sword that was a perfect combination of strength and skill, Ashe still subconsciously dodged and stood in front of Li En.

"Boom~!"

The Zhenbing Longbow and the Storm Greatsword collided with each other, and the surging air waves blew snowflakes all over the sky.

“Crack! Crack!”

"Om~!"

The power of True Ice rushed towards the Storm Sword at a rapid speed, but the sword, which was mainly made of Rune Steel, quickly absorbed the power and recharged it.

Although he was blocked by a woman who was obviously of the Iceborn variety, Garen's eyes were fixed on the person behind her, with an annoyed look on his face and a hint of visible doubt.

"It's okay Ashe, come back, he's not an enemy."

"OK, dear."

"Stab~!"

The Zhenbing longbow and the greatsword blade scraped apart, and Ashe flashed to Li En's side.

"My dear, are all Demacians' greetings so 'enthusiastic'?"

Her lover greeted her in a friendly manner, but was slashed at by the sword of the man opposite, whose armor showed that he was extraordinary. Even though the sword could not threaten Li En, Ashe couldn't help feeling a little angry.

"It's okay, Ashe, he's just a little too excited and happy. This is our unique way of greeting, don't you think, Garen?"

In response to Li En's question, the confusion on Garen's face turned into vigilance.

“Who…are you!?”

"I, Li En, have forgotten me just because we haven't seen each other for a while?"

"Mage from Freljord, perhaps you have heard something, but I have to say that your disguise has a fatal flaw!"

Looking at the sneer on Garen's face, Li En was slightly stunned. When he noticed his eyes sweeping over his hair, Li En reacted immediately.

"Oh, you're talking about this. Sorry, I forgot."

After Li En finished speaking, he had already absorbed most of Volibear's remaining 'divine essence', and directly changed the color of his pupils and hair back to their original appearance.

He didn't change his appearance in Freljord before, but the people of Avarosa were used to his white hair and blue eyes. Li En was too lazy to explain, so he simply kept that look.

"How is it, is everything okay now?"

"Whoa~ whoa~!"

As soon as Li En finished speaking, the sound of armor colliding mixed with hurried footsteps came from not far away.

Seeing the fearless pioneers pouring out from everywhere and surrounding Li En and the others, Garen broke into a smile.

"Heh! I'm waiting for backup. What are you waiting for, invaders?"

"Squeak~!"

The magic-destroying crossbow made of rune steel was strung, and the sharp arrow flashing with cold light was aimed at Li En and the other man.

"Invaders, either surrender or..."

"Garen, Lux told me that when she was six years old, she was wrongly accused of niao..."

"Enough! Enough! You are Li En!

Okay everyone, this is Marquis Li En from Xiongdu, please leave."

"Yes, Captain Galen!"

Even though Ashe, with her white hair and blue eyes, was the purest Iceborn, the Fearless Vanguards did not hesitate at all. They put away their crossbows, saluted and left.

Countless battles on the battlefield have proved that the Fearless Vanguard wearing a full set of rune steel armor is an iron chariot to the mage.

No mage's magic can penetrate the rune steel and control the fearless vanguard inside.

In addition, from the time Garen made the sound to the time he arrived, it was impossible for him to be defeated and controlled so quickly with his own strength, so the fearless pioneers who arrived did not doubt whether Garen was himself and in his state.

As for whether Garen would collaborate with the enemy and actively bring in the enemy, please, his last name is "Crown Guard"!

Watching all his teammates leave, Garen's tense expression relaxed slightly, and visible hot steam poured out of his mouth and nose.

"I'm sorry, Galen. You know, this is the only way I can prove my identity."

"Okay, don't mention it. No matter what happens in the future, don't mention this matter again!"

"Then how can I prove that I am me?"

"You just told me that Jarvan was naughty when he was nine years old, so his father hung him under a cherry tree in the garden and beat him severely."

"how do you know?"

“I was hiding in the bushes.”

"You are really his good brother."

"of course."

Facing Li En's look of contempt, Garen nodded as if it was a matter of course, and then both of them smiled.

"Hahaha~! Li En, you're finally back!"

"I'm sorry, something urgent happened before and I didn't have time to say goodbye to you."

"Crack~!"

"Bang~!"

Garen took off his gauntlet, clasped his hands tightly with Li En's, and bumped shoulders with each other.

This was a way of greeting that Jarvan had specially invented to show his friendship. As his good friends, the two naturally learned it as well.

"You're glad to be back. Many people in Xiongdu have been worried about you these days. Jarvan even wanted to bring people to look for you himself, until he was beaten up by His Majesty, and Lux ​​and the others said that you just left for an urgent matter, so he gave up."

"Okay, I will apologize to them."

"Hmph! You'd better do so."

Although Galen didn't say it explicitly, Li En already understood who he was referring to from his tone.

Letting go of Li En's hand, Garen looked at the white-haired Iceborn named 'Ashe' who was standing quietly beside him.

According to what he learned from books, female Iceborn in Freljord have a very high status and are generally war mothers of the clan.

And the way she addressed Li En just now seemed to be...'dear'! ?

Thinking of his sister who was far away in Xiongdu and often lost her mind because of Li En, Garen narrowed his eyes slightly.

Seeing this, Li En took Ash's hand and pulled her to his side.

"This is Ashe, my wife and Warmother of the Avarosa tribe of the Freljord!

Ashe, this is Garen Crownguard, captain of the Fearless Vanguard, and the eldest son of the Crownguard family, a great noble family of Demacia."

Facing Garen's hostile gaze, Ashe, who had already faced countless hardships alone, didn't care at all.

With a slight nod, Ashe was the first to greet.

"Hello, Mr. Galen."

"Well, hello, Her Excellency the War Mother."

Garen nodded, then looked at Li En. The look that was just a bit hostile before turned into naked "murderous intent" when it was placed on Li En.

It would be fine if he had taken the most tender cabbage of the Mianwei family, but now he dares to bring back a wife in front of his brother-in-law?

Do you really think that Garen will stop fighting just because he can't beat you!?
