In the alliance, the more they attack me, the stronger I become!

The bright morning light was illuminated red, as if it was sunset all of a sudden.

Everything was just as Planck had expected.

Although he received news that the Noxians had relaxed their vigilance on the north coast, it was impossible that there were no people there at all. If his fleet wanted to land from here, it would definitely encounter those bastards.

Besides, it must be not only the Noxians who want him dead now, but also some third-rate people who want to become the king of pirates... He is in great danger this time when he comes back, and he has to face the siege of countless people at the same time.

He knew it was risky.

But... he is confident enough.

Or you could say it's conceited.

The more people come to surround him, the more it proves his worth as the Pirate King! Who says you're not a champion without a trophy?

"I am the world's number one pirate king! I am Gangplank!"

Gangplank personally lit the fuse of the cannon and aimed his gun at the Noxian warships that were approaching.

The war begins.

At this time, the advantage of the Bilgewater pirates was reflected - this group of pirates living on the sea were excellent at swimming, and their skills in steering ships and controlling cannons were better than those of the Noxians.

In addition, Noxus obviously underestimated the pirates of Bilgewater. The number of troops they sent was not large, and most of them are still on the east coast. The number of ships here is less than double digits at this time.

Planck's fleet quickly gained an overwhelming advantage.

Endless artillery fire blew the Noxian ships and the docks to pieces.

"Take a bath in a cannonball!"

Gangplank was so excited that he could already imagine the people of Bilgewater worshiping him.

But he still overlooked one point.

Some people...their individual combat capabilities are so strong that they can resist an entire fleet alone.

A tall and mighty figure appeared on the dilapidated dock.

He was wearing heavy armor, holding a huge axe, and the cape behind him made him look like a glorious war hero.

The moment they saw this man, the Noxian soldiers, who had originally been demoralized, immediately cheered.

As long as he is there, the war cannot be lost.

They had never seen him lose a battle. Not once.

"General Darius!"

People began to shout the hero's name.

"Show these pirates the power of Noxus!"

The Hand of Noxus, Darius, ignored the soldiers' shouts and didn't bother to listen to their boasting. He slowly walked to the edge of the dock and looked at the pirate ship that was only a hundred meters away.

Many people on a Noxian warship shouted at him to come on board, claiming that they would rush over and kill the bandits immediately.

But Darius was disdainful.

It's only a hundred meters away...even if he is wearing a suit of armor weighing a hundred kilograms, so what?

"See what true courage is like!"

Darius took a deep breath and then jumped directly into the sea.

It would be difficult for most people to swim in the sea if they had anything on them, but he actually jumped into the sea wearing armor weighing hundreds of pounds and holding a heavy axe.

Moreover, the swimming speed is extremely fast.

A pirate ship noticed this strange guy and was ready to use the huge advantage of the ship to run over him and kill him.

But it was clear that Darius was not simple.

The Noxian Empire, which excels in military power, can be known as the "Hand of Noxus" because it relies on supreme power.

Without mastering any magic, he can defeat monsters that are born with strange powers.

His brute strength is unparalleled in the world.

Even Zed of the Shadow Cult couldn't kill him on the battlefield in Ionia at that time, and the two fought back and forth.

A human without any magic, who relied on brute force to chop down countless beasts, monsters, magicians and even "experimental subjects" who were given strange powers by the Pale Lady.

“Noxus—!”

Darius looked at the pirate ship crashing towards him and slowly raised his giant axe.

Then, he chopped it down directly.

There are no fancy moves at all.

There was no magical light or deafening noise.

Everything seems so normal.

But the effect...

Click.

After an ordinary voice, the captain of the pirate ship was stunned.

Then it split into two and fell to the left and right.

The ship beneath his feet—the entire deck—was split into two parts as his body was split in half.

Before anyone else could react, Darius stabbed a finger directly into the hull, then used it as a fulcrum to prop up his entire body and rushed upwards.

He landed steadily on the boat and glanced at all the pirates with contempt.

"Kneel! To the Noxian Empire."

Chapter 112 Card: Another Fool?

Sarah looked at the chaotic sea from afar, and a satisfied smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Everything was just as she expected.

Gangplank's fleet is very powerful. The Noxian warships docked on the north shore are no match for him. He will easily crush them.

But the Noxians were not to be trifled with. If things went wrong, the Noxian Empire would certainly deploy its trump card—perhaps a fleet transferred from the east coast, or perhaps something else.

It was the man whom the Noxian soldiers called the "Hand of Noxus."

The victorious general who was famous throughout the Valoran continent.

His strength was also terrifying, like a monstrous beast... He could even single-handedly chop up the pirate ships of the Planck fleet and withstand the bombardment with his mortal body.

Even Sarah had only seen this kind of power once - in the "little brother" beside her.

But that's okay. Everything is still under control.

She expected that Gangplank would not be able to land easily, and the Noxians would definitely make him embarrassed.

That's why she needs a thief and a fool.

When Gangplank arrived at the port in a state of disgrace, he needed something to show his authority. Whether it was a rival gang or a notorious thief, he would always kill a few small rats in front of everyone to show his authority.

That's it... That's right... Everything is going in a good direction...

Sarah's beautiful green eyes were filled with the pleasure of revenge. Her body began to tremble slightly. The pain she had endured for more than ten years was finally going to end today.

But Cheng Xiao next to her didn't quite understand.

He looked at the dozens of cannons that had been prepared long ago, and roughly measured the direction. Finally, he found that if he fired now, Planck's fleet would have no room for resistance.

Whether it is the angle, timing or attack range, firing now is the perfect time.

Gangplank should have been very cautious. He must have been prepared for revenge from his enemies if he dared to come back. He would not take it lightly, but sent people to carefully check all the ships near the port... But the Noxian attack disrupted everything.

To be precise, it was Darius who disrupted all of Planck's arrangements.

That terrifying brute force...is almost beyond the scope of human beings.

Even in the Freljord, a land teeming with magic and behemoths, few are more formidable than Darius.

Cheng Xiao even had a feeling... that he was stronger than Olaf, Braum and others, and could even compete with the current Sejuani.

After all, he was a man who could not even lose to the Shadow Master Zed.

Even shadow magic couldn't kill him, so how could brute force be enough to defeat him?

of course……

Cheng Xiao silently placed her hand on the Doran's sword at her waist, her mind as calm as if she was watching a child beating up another group of children.

Darius, who was invincible to mortals, was just a stronger mortal in front of him.

After gaining the power of the Freljord demigod and the three sisters, his strength is no longer something that ordinary humans can contend with.

"Aren't you going to fire yet?"

Cheng Xiao casually asked Miss Fortune beside him, but she was too engrossed in watching to respond, so he reached out and poked her slender white arm.

He suddenly felt a surge of heat.

Sarah was so excited that her blood was boiling.

"Don't worry, my dear little brother..." Her delicate body trembled slightly, as if she had reached the peak of pleasure. "If you open fire now, Gangplank will only sink to the sea, and everyone will not be able to witness the fall of the Pirate King..."

"So when are you going to make your move?" Cheng Xiao wasn't in a hurry. He was just pondering one question – since he was already here, why not let Darius kill him once? A bit of brute force wouldn't be bad either…

"When Gangplank lands, I want everyone in this city to watch him die..."

Sarah's breathing became more and more rapid, but she soon realized her own loss of composure - she had to maintain the image of a beautiful and gentle elder sister in front of Cheng Xiao, and could not behave like a crazy woman.

Well...what I mean is, at least you can't reveal your true nature.

"That's why I hired a thief and a... fugitive to wreak havoc on Gangplank's ship. So that Gangplank could appear in disgrace before everyone, only to be reduced to ashes by a barrage of artillery fire at the very moment of his triumph."

Sarah certainly understood that if she fired now, she would kill Gangplank, but that was not the result she wanted.

What she wanted was for Gangplank to die in front of the whole city, but she couldn't be sure which ship Gangplank was on, so she had to lure out the conceited villain first.

The cunning and cautious Gangplank wouldn't stay aboard his Abyss forever... If he were simply engaging the enemy, he would shuttle back and forth among his fleet, hiding his exact location from anyone. Destroying his fleet in this way would only result in his death, leaving no trace of his body.

Sarah must first set up the perfect stage for the villain and then crush him to ashes on the stage.

If we don't arrange for the thief to be caught and let him go to find his enemy to establish his authority after landing, the uncertainty will be great - according to the principle of proximity, he may start with the ships near the port, and then the cannons on our ships will be exposed.

Sarah planned it very carefully.

But Cheng Xiao was stunned for a moment - to be honest, he didn't know that the other party had arranged "scammers and fugitives".

It's obvious that the impostor is Drizzt and the fugitive is Graves...

Although Sarah used these two people in her plan to overthrow Planck's rule in the original timeline, the current situation is completely different. She can easily take the opportunity to kill Planck... I didn't expect that the two unlucky guys would still suffer.

Cheng Xiao was very surprised.

At the same time, he also had his own ideas - Graves was fine, and Trist could not die for the time being.

Although his combat power is pitifully weak, his "card magic" is very interesting. If you give him a kill, you might be able to get some skills... This is one of the few things in Bilgewater that is still useful.

That is a space magic that is extremely rare in the entire Rune Land.

Now that I'm here, I have to give it a try.

The two unlucky guys in the original timeline managed to escape with a last breath, but the current situation is even more chaotic and dangerous than in the original timeline. If I don't take action, they might be gone...

This is not okay.

"Sarah, do you think Gangplank is at a disadvantage?"

Cheng Xiao said, pointing to a pirate ship sunk by Darius.

"That great general known as the 'Hand of Noxus' is certainly quite capable. If you keep letting him fight like this, aren't you afraid that Gangplank will be killed before he even lands?"

"Hmm..." Sarah, who didn't know Cheng Xiao's little thoughts, thought about it seriously for a while.

Now she is no longer satisfied with simply letting Planck die. "Letting Planck die in front of the whole city" has almost become her obsession.

"It seems possible... But Gangplank isn't that weak. It's hard to turn the tide of the battle with just the power of the Hand of Noxus."
