Chapter 107 Never Changed

"Quilleta, you can blame me, but I am the Hand of Noxus. The Empire cannot lose any town now, otherwise other regions will follow suit."

Darius raised his battle axe, his face became resolute.

He could understand Quilleta's feelings and knew that the other party wanted him to do so.

In the end, he still made up his mind and chose the Empire.

The Hand of Noxus, this is his responsibility and destiny!

The battle axe was raised suddenly, flashing a cold light under the dazzling light of the sun.

At that moment, many pictures appeared in both him and Quilleta's mind.

Some people say that before killing relatives and friends, their minds will appear in their lives.

Quilleta and he were born in a town conquered by Noxus.

At that time, they looked forward to the strength of Noxus, but were fed up with the weakness of their own land.

He broke out of the Noxian Arena and joined Colonel Cyrus with Draven and Quilleta.

At that time, they truly understood what an army and an empire were.

Expanding the empire's territory, accumulating great military exploits, and making their reputation known in the empire and the world.

Fighting for Noxus, they began to understand the meaning of this sentence.

Darius has always believed that the value of his life is to serve the empire and ensure the normal operation of the empire.

He witnessed countless comrades dying beside him, and saw the people oppressed by other countries being liberated by Noxus and standing up again on the land of Noxus.

Pick up weapons and abandon cowardice, Noxus will give everyone a chance to become a warrior.

For the comrades who once died and for the empire that is getting better and better now, he has long put his life and death aside.

It is better to say that not only himself, but he has long been aware of dedicating the blood and life of his family, children, and wife to the empire.

Seventeen years ago, Quelleta gave birth to a boy for him, and he named him Decius.

The boy is not strong, but he does not lack the courage and passion to fight.

Decius followed them on the battlefield for many years, and he had the belief to fight for Noxus.

In the end, the boy died on the road of the empire's expansion. He felt deeply sorry, but also proud of the boy.

And Quelleta in front of him had been with him since childhood, and they had experienced countless wars and chaos.

He always understood the other's mind.

But if even he chose love in the end, the death of those comrades who sacrificed for the empire would be meaningless.

He was a role model for all Noxian warriors and the empire's national hand.

Darius admitted in his heart that from a man's perspective, he owed her a safe and stable home.

But he was the hand of Noxus, and for the empire, some things had to be done.

When the empire no longer needed his axe blade, he would kneel in front of her grave, die to apologize, and meet her again in the underworld until the day their souls dissipated.

At that time, he would only have her in his heart.

Goodbye. Quelleta!

Darius's tiger eyes were filled with sadness. He swung the unstoppable battle axe heavily, and the axe blade even made a sound of breaking the wind, leaving no room for redemption.

"Ah!!!"

He roared, roared, and widened his eyes, as if he wanted to remember the beautiful face in front of him who had closed her eyes deeply in his heart.

Tsk!

When the battle axe was only a millimeter away from Quelleta, a ball of faint blue candlelight suddenly appeared, stirring on the battle axe, splashing a large ball of fire.

The sudden burst of fire made Quelleta's face sting. She subconsciously took two steps back, covered her cheeks, and two lines of tears fell from her face.

She had made a choice. Since he chose the empire. Then dying at the hands of Darius was her best destination.

"Darius, stop."

The candlelight and the crow suddenly appeared not far from Darius, turning into two figures of different colors.

"Speaker of the Council"

Darius let his battle axe fall to the ground and looked at Ryan, who was made of blue flames.

"Wait a moment, we have something to do."

Ryan's words were serious. He glanced around indifferently and winked at Zhao Xin.

Zhao Xin understood, stepped forward and pulled out the flag stuck in the soil, held it tightly in his left hand, aimed at the direction of the Black Gate of Besilico, and threw it fiercely.

Buzz!

Under the gaze of everyone, the flag cut through the sky, drew a sharp arc in the air, and directly inserted into the Black Gate.

So far, the new flag of the empire once again flew over Besilico.

Facing the hung flag, Quelleta remained silent, and Darius did not raise any objections.

Ryan withdrew his gaze from the flag, swept across the soldiers stationed on the tower, and looked at Quelleta and Darius with different expressions, and said:

No mistake!

"The establishment of the Trifarii Council is not to make Noxus bleed more, but to tell the undead who died for the empire. It is because of their sacrifice that the empire has the current prosperity, and their children, wives and families will enjoy the supreme glory!"

The convincing words echoed in Besilico, and even the soldiers on the tower unconsciously tightened their weapons.

Darius closed his eyes with a complicated expression, and the battle axe in his hand fell weakly, splashing a large piece of sand.

If time could go back, he would still do the same thing as before. But Ryan's words also eased the heaviness in his heart.

No one wants to sacrifice, not even him.

"General Quelleta."

Ryan looked at the woman kneeling on the ground with an indifferent expression:

"Because you delayed the order of the empire, from today on, you will be deprived of the position of General Besilico, and your adjutant Inftia will take over the garrison."

"Your Majesty, the Speaker of the Parliament" Inftia looked anxious.

She had never thought of betraying Quelleta, and she thought she was not worthy of this position. What's more, it was she who made the move, and she should be charged with the crime of rebellion.

"General Quelleta's punishment has not been finished. After returning to the Immortal Fortress, he must serve in the War College and serve as a war department instructor for 10 years." Ryan said calmly.

Inftia and Quelleta were stunned at the same time, and even Darius opened his tiger eyes, as if he was wondering about Ryan's decision.

"Chairman, aren't you afraid that I will teach rebellious students and make the empire no longer passionate?" Quelleta raised her eyebrows.

Even when she just faced the battle axe, she never thought of denying that she was a Noxian.

She has been denying the empire's ideas, not her own identity.

Fighting for Noxus, just such a simple sentence.

Her body was disabled, her husband turned against her, her son died on the battlefield, and countless relatives and friends sacrificed for the great cause.

But in the end, what did they gain? When will the empire really become great.

"Quelleta, are you still a Noxian? Answer me this question!"

Ryan looked directly at Quelleta, and the eyes made of flames seemed to see through everything.

Quelleta took a deep breath, with a firm face: "Never changed!"

She is a Noxian! Even if she sacrificed everything, she would die with this identity!

That is the people she cares about and the place where she has fought for herself. Every brick and tile of the empire is flowing with their blood.

Even if it happens once, she will only prevent the tragedy from happening again, rather than rejecting the empire.

"Very good!" Ryan's mouth curled up slightly. "Every Noxian has the right to practice what he believes is right. Quelleta, in your eyes, what is a Noxian?"
