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

In his heart, Isolde is the most important.

Isolde...Isolde!

"What kind of help are you giving me?" Viego asked, suppressing his anger.

Upon hearing this, Leblanc resumed her respectful attitude with a smile on her face and immediately put down the staff in her hand.

"Waking you up today is the greatest favor I can offer you. It is the Haunting Night, and the boundary between the spiritual and material realms is blurred on the Shadow Isles. As king, you can command all the souls on the island at will."

"And because of your existence, the strength of the undead has greatly increased. They can easily capture Bilgewater across the sea. Once everyone in that city has become undead, your black fog will begin to spread across the world until it finds your lover."

"Bilgewater will be your territory."

After these words, Viego felt that he had regained the majesty of a king, and immediately waved his hand to release a powerful energy of destruction.

Under this force, countless souls on the island broke through the confines of the island and rushed towards the sea.

The black fog spread towards Bilgewater at an unusual speed.

It was several times faster than the Soul-Eating Nights of previous years.

But just when Viego was feeling smug, Leblanc said, "Originally, I wanted to sacrifice Bilgewater to you directly, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble, but..."

"But what?" Viego's questioning attitude sounded extremely arrogant.

"But someone has blocked my plan, and also blocked your expansion," Leblanc said softly, "and this is an important reason why I want to make a request to you."

"say clearly."

"Specifically... the experiment I lost ruined my plan and occupied Bilgewater, which I was originally going to give you. Therefore, your undead army may encounter some minor obstacles when conquering Bilgewater."

"Hmph, no one can survive under the iron hoof of Kamavia!" Viego waved his hand, and let more black fog rush into the sea.

This even includes his great generals during his lifetime.

Seeing this, a hint of mockery flashed in Leblanc's eyes again - it was really easy to deceive such a self-willed and selfish person.

"And what I want to ask you to do for me is to help me find all the experimental subjects I lost."

"I can help your Black Mist capture Belgewater, then spread northward, taking Demacia, Freljord, and the Twin Cities... until your Black Mist covers the entire world."

"And I have only one small request - help me find my lovely experiments. All of them."

LeBlanc spoke sincerely, with enough respect in her tone.

In addition to the strength she had just demonstrated, Viego was quite satisfied with this "untouchable".

"Why not."

Viego stabbed the Blade of the Ruined King into the ground, and the ruins behind him immediately trembled under the guidance of the ruined energy.

Then, a skeletal throne surrounded by countless dead souls rose behind him.

Viego sat majestically on his throne.

"Isolde...for her, I can do anything!"

---------------------------------------------

-------------------------

Cheng Xiao's perception of her body became increasingly weaker.

When he looked at his lower body, he found that he was almost completely separated from his "body", with only a tiny connection holding him together.

He saw Gwen escape from Leblanc's clutches and flee to the edge of the Shadow Isles.

This relieved him.

He wasn't afraid of LeBlanc, nor was he afraid of death, but he didn't want anything to happen to Gwen - based on his understanding of the two, it was impossible for Gwen to defeat LeBlanc.

It can even be said that... as long as LeBlanc wants, she can turn Gwen back into that rag doll that can neither speak nor move at any time.

He was relieved to see Gwen escape successfully.

But... I'm not completely relieved.

Firstly, he has not yet found a way to escape from the spiritual realm. He is very worried that when the morning comes tomorrow and the barrier between the spiritual realm and the material realm rises again, will he be trapped in the spiritual realm forever?

He couldn't take the risk, so he had to find a way to return to the material realm within today.

Secondly...

When Gwen took away his body, his soul had a certain delay, so he heard some of the conversation between LeBlanc and Viego.

I finally understood what "deal" LeBlanc wanted to make with Viego.

"She only wanted Viego to use the black mist to help her retrieve those experimental subjects..."

Cheng Xiao, his soul in the spiritual realm, transformed into his own body—just as he had when he and Aatrox were trapped together. He paced back and forth within the spiritual realm, appearing somewhat agitated.

"Helping Viego rule the world just for that? Even if she only cared about Mordekaiser coming to seek revenge on her and didn't care about what the world would become, she couldn't squander all the hard work she put into building Noxus over the years like that, right?"

"If Viego's curse of ruin really spreads to the entire world, can Noxus remain immune?"

"How could that old woman be so stupid!"

Cheng Xiao was indignant, but more worried.

Concerns about the Freljord and Bilgewater.

He can't care so much about other places, but there are people he cares about in these two places.

He had to save the people he cared about and prevent the world they lived in from being in danger of destruction... Cheng Xiao suddenly had a sense of déjà vu.

But he didn't have time to dwell on why he felt that way.

He looked up and observed this psychedelic spiritual realm.

"How do we get out..."

Chapter 133 My axe has been thirsty for a long time!

Miss Fortune closed the magazines on her pistols and placed them side by side on the table next to her dagger. A frantic chorus of bells and sirens echoed through the city below. She knew exactly what it meant.

Soul-eating night.

But Sarah paid no heed to the approaching storm. All the windows of the hilltop villa she had just occupied were open, defying the shadow of death. The howling sea breeze, carrying the hunger of demons and the biting cold, blew in her face.

Compared to those terrible rumors, there was another thing that made her even more angry at this moment - the young man who had finally aroused her interest left without saying a word.

On the night she kicked him out of his room, he actually left Bilgewater! And he was gone for more than half a month!

He had promised to face the Harrowing Night with her, yet he never returned! Now the bells warning of the Harrowing Night had rung, but the man still hadn't appeared.

Sarah looked at the wide-open window angrily, and imagined countless scenes of meeting Cheng Xiao in her mind. In her imagination, Cheng Xiao would suddenly appear on the windowsill ten meters above the ground, and then say to her with a sly smile:

"I'm back, did you miss me?"

Something like that...

But unfortunately, the reality is not like this.

Sarah had imagined so many scenarios, and she was disappointed so many times. The man never showed up, and all she got was bad news.

"Captain, things may be more troublesome than we thought."

A subordinate hiding in the darkness stood by the door, his bloody face flashing from time to time in the shining lightning.

"The muskets and cannons we've been preparing for so long...are of little use against the black fog. Many ships have already been swallowed by it, resulting in either shipwrecks or casualties."

"You know, it was just like any other Haunting... When we boarded the ship to search for the living, all we found were skeletons devoured of flesh and blood."

"The black mist is far more terrifying than we expected."

Hearing this, Sarah took one last glance at the empty windowsill, then turned around with two guns in hand.

Her face was filled with dignity and dissatisfaction.

"Aren't my preparations more adequate than Gangplank's during the previous Harrowings? I gave you more weapons and more manpower, so why can't you stop the Black Mist? Are you trying to tell me that my command ability is inferior to Gangplank's?"

“No… No…” Feeling Miss Fortune’s anger, the subordinate quickly lowered his head.

In Bilgewater today, no one dares to offend the empress.

"Then tell me, what is the reason?" Sarah slowly put the two guns into the gun bag on her waist, and it seemed that she was planning to go to the dock to take a look in person.

The subordinate was sweating profusely. After hesitating for a long time, he finally revealed his difficult situation: "This Soul-Eating Night... is different... Although you have been extremely well prepared, the black fog... is even thicker and more powerful than in previous years. We are powerless to stop it..."

"I hope you're not making excuses."

Sarah ignored him, packed up her equipment and went out.

But before she walked down the mountain, the sea in the distance had already attracted her attention.

Beneath the dense dark clouds and violent thunder and lightning, she saw the entire sea surface was pitch black - as if a terrifying giant hand enveloped all life, and the sharp wails foreshadowed the greed of the undead.

She suddenly remembered Cheng Xiao's words... This Soul-Eating Night might not be so simple.

But she was not unprepared.

Sarah quickened her pace and soon arrived at the dock.

At that time, many crew members were using muskets and cannons to fight against the black fog, but with little success - the souls of the dead had no flesh and blood, and the weapons that were effective against humans could not cause much damage to them, and could only barely disperse the black fog.

But they soon came back together.

Sarah frowned and looked towards the center of the town again - fortunately, the operation there was going smoothly.

Under Cheng Xiao's guidance, she organized the masses to flee two days before the Soul-Eating Night arrived. At this time, her subordinates were leading the people of the city to retreat in an orderly manner.

As long as we hold on until tomorrow's dawn, the black fog will naturally dissipate.

And before that...

"Listen to my command—" Sarah stood on the dock and drew her scimitar. Her clear and loud voice spread across the dozens of docked ships:

"Fire at the black fog!"

Boom!

Boom! !

In an instant, all the cannons on all the ships fired at the same time. The loud noise and dazzling flames like an earthquake made the entire sea tremble.

The light that was brighter than the sun defeated the most concentrated black fog to a certain extent.

The effect is there.

But this also angered the souls in the black fog.

And it angered the most terrifying one among them - the ghost of the knight from the fallen kingdom.

The leader of the Iron Order, a knight brotherhood in the Kingdom of Kamavia.

Many in Bilgewater had already experienced his terror during the Haunting.

he is……

Hecarim.

dong dong dong... dong dong dong...

A dull and rhythmic sound rang out on the turbulent sea, like the sound of a group of cavalry charging.

And the people on the dock did see... a cavalry regiment.

Countless ghosts with dark green bodies rode their skeleton horses across the sea and launched a fierce attack on the world of the living.

In just a moment, this group of undead cavalry devoured several ships.

The crew members guarding the dock were also scattered in an instant. Those deadly blades ruthlessly reaped the lives of the living and created more wailing undead.

"No one is spared..."

A tall figure slowly approached the surface of the sea. His strange figure instilled fear in people, and his deadly scythe made people associate him with the god of death.

Hecarim. The leader of this group of undead knights, the most terrifying undead in the Harrowing.

He walked on the sea and landed on the shore surrounded by the dead knights. All the dead souls knelt at his feet and sang praises to his great achievements in life and death.

His massive body was a terrifying fusion of man and horse, his impenetrable armor forming an indestructible monster. There were words engraved on his black plate armor, but he could only vaguely remember the specific meaning.

Behind the mask, there is a blazing spiritual fire. The soul within has long been cold and dead, but at the same time it is vicious and alive.

Now he only knows how to kill and conquer.
