Chapter 69 Irelia
"I hope Darius won't disappoint me..."
Looking at the bustling dueling arena in the distance, Swain turned and walked towards the castle.
He had no interest in the outside world; he only wanted Noxus to develop better and become stronger.
Meanwhile, Wenxuan was unaware that he had been monitored by Swain, and he was still carrying Youmi as he slowly walked towards the distance ahead.
The Doorway Codex sensed that someone was watching him, but since the other party meant no harm, he didn't tell Wenxuan.
Not long after they set off, Wenxuan heard a sound of fighting.
Swords clashed, and blood splattered.
Wenxuan crouched down, holding Youmi, and watched the two groups of people fighting in front of him.
One of the slender women was dressed in what looked like a bodysuit, and her body was surrounded by several blades.
They were attacking a large number of Noxians.
With each swing, the blade followed the opponent's movements, slashing the enemy's neck, arms, and other parts of their body.
"I didn't expect to run into Dao Mei so soon after arriving here..." Wenxuan recognized the woman at a glance.
After all, such obvious features.
However, the people of Ionia are a group of impoverished villagers, and their weapons are all quite outdated.
The Noxian army at least still used swords and iron weapons.
In Ionia, apart from a few people who used sickles and hoes, most people fought desperately with wooden sticks and stones.
Not only were they outmatched in weaponry, but they were also significantly outnumbered.
Wenxuan did nothing as he watched this scene unfold, simply observing as if he were watching a movie.
Going out now is clearly not a wise move; you might just get ganged up on by the Noxians.
"Ionia will never perish... The people of Ionia... must never allow these Noxians into our country."
While relentlessly cutting down Noxian lives, Irelia didn't forget to encourage the villagers around her.
Ionia has enjoyed a long period of peace and has never experienced the ravages of war, so it has no army. The people who are now following Irelia into battle are all people she has called upon.
As Irelia watched the villagers fall one by one, despite her overwhelming helplessness, she could only channel her killing intent into wielding her sword against the invading Noxians.
She knew she couldn't hold out for long, as the Noxian army was too large, and without reinforcements, she would soon be all alone.
Meanwhile, Darius finished off an ignorant villager and turned his attention to Irelia.
After all, Irelia's agility was complemented by her ability to manipulate objects, making her the most dazzling among these peasants, especially given their reckless shouting.
“You go and deal with those ignorant people, I’ll take care of this woman wielding the blade.”
Killing many villagers is not as effective as killing Irelia, since she is surrounded by Noxians.
Upon hearing Darius's order, several soldiers who wanted to continue attacking Irelia dispersed, giving Darius the space.
Seeing this, Darius picked up his hand axe and leaped towards where Irelia was.
Irelia noticed Darius at this moment. Seeing Darius slashing towards her, Irelia knew she was no match for him and chose to avoid his attack.
The battle here did not affect Wenxuan behind them.
Yumi lay on Wenxuan's arm, quietly watching the bloody scenes unfold.
Yumi was puzzled. Didn't Wenxuan think this place was dangerous? Why was he staying here all this time?
Thinking about it, Yumi also used the jewel on her head to tickle Wenxuan's chin.
"whee……"
Yumi also let out an inappropriate laugh.
Despite her teasing Wenxuan, he didn't look away from the battle, and Youmi intensified her tickling.
As Yumi's feminine voice rang out, the soldiers who hadn't had a chance to participate in the battle also noticed Wenxuan.
“Look… you have a child from Ionia.”
Wenxuan was exposed when a sharp-eyed soldier spoke up.
Wenxuan also glanced at the mischievous Youmi in his arms with displeasure.
"I'll deal with you later."
Hearing her master's scolding, Yumi knew she had made a mistake.
It immediately lowered its head, not daring to meet Wenxuan's gaze.
"Quickly come into my body and bless me."
Upon hearing her master's command, Yumi stepped onto the magic book and entered Wenxuan's body.
On the other side, they discovered Wenxuan, a child dressed in strange clothes. A captain signaled to several soldiers to capture Wenxuan alive.
He saw several soldiers walking towards him, holding long spears.
Wenxuan didn't rush to make a move, but instead turned his attention to Irelia, who was fighting Darius.
Although he had been exposed and had no choice but to take action, Wenxuan wasn't stupid. Taking action from behind wouldn't attract the attention of Daomei and the others, and that would be a waste of this opportunity to pick up girls.
Upon seeing Wenxuan, he took off running, and several soldiers quickly gave chase.
However, with Yuumi's help, ordinary people simply couldn't catch up.
Because Darius wanted to eliminate Irelia to make a contribution, this area was cleared, making it easy for Wenxuan to approach.
When Irelia saw a little boy arrive, she assumed he wanted to help, but even she could only defend herself while retreating, let alone a child.
It's good enough if they don't hold us back.
"Get out of here, this place is not suitable..." Before she could finish speaking, the girl's eyes saw a scene that horrified her.
"Thunder Seal, Wrathful Strike".
Wenxuan's voice came, followed by a thick arc of electricity.
It was aimed directly at Darius.
Darius initially thought Irelia had gone mad, as she was distracted while fighting him.
He was clearly wrong; the next second, a bowl-sized arc of electricity flashed before his eyes.

Immediately, Darius, realizing what was happening, swung his axe forcefully, forcing Irelia back.
Then, with agility, he placed the axe on his head.
next second.
"Ah~~ Ahhhh."
The axe was made of refined iron, and Darius was almost entirely covered in armor, with lightning crackling all over his body.
He scorched the flashlight on the outside and burned it inside.
A few seconds later, Darius, completely blackened, collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up.
The closest Irelia, upon witnessing this scene, was also quite frightened by the unfamiliar human child.
"Magic...you must be a mage."
Irelia had heard many stories about Runeterra from her grandmother.
For example, this world contains magic, runes, primordial demons, and so on.
When Dao Mei asked him a question with an incredulous look on her face, Wen Xuan simply smiled in response.
The soldiers on the other side, seeing their commander struck by lightning, were also terrified and retreated.
Without Darius in charge, many soldiers are considering leaving.
However, everyone thought Darius was dead, but a faint voice came the next second.
"No one is allowed to retreat even half a step... Anyone who dares to retreat will be executed. Such cowardly behavior will not be tolerated."
After saying that, Darius, whose body was charred black, barely managed to sit up. He looked fiercely at the group of soldiers who were about to retreat, and deeply memorized their faces.
When I get back, I'll definitely experience the Noxian guillotine.
He could not allow any incompetents to appear in his army.
The soldiers who had been looked at by Darius shuddered.
However, Darius didn't take it to heart, since he needed players right now.
Their gazes then fell upon Wenxuan.
"Cough cough..." Darius coughed a few times. Although he was not dead, he was seriously injured.
"Go and capture that child for me... Whether he lives or dies, you will be rewarded with a thousand gold pieces and promoted two ranks."
After saying that, Darius threw down the axe, then clutched his heart and frowned.
Upon hearing Darius's order, the group of soldiers were also moved by the reward.
Ignoring the fact that Wenxuan could use magic, a group of soldiers killed the villagers around them and headed towards Wenxuan.
“Kill that human boy…”
"Let's all charge together and avenge our commander!"
A crowd immediately swarmed over.
Seeing this, Wenxuan dared not linger. Youmi had little combat power, and his soul power could only be used a few more times before it was exhausted.
Immediately, Wenxuan grabbed Daomei's wrist as she was about to resist the soldiers.
The next moment, he and the Blade Girl ran towards Aiolia.
"Run! What are you fighting for? There are so many of them, and they're not afraid of death. What are you going to use to stop them?"
Wenxuan knew that Darius had no fewer than a thousand soldiers behind him.
And that's not all; there are other troops under the command of other officers nearby, who may be moving closer to this side.
Just as Wenxuan had predicted.
Several Noxian armies have cleared out the surrounding resistance from the native inhabitants and are now converging on Darius.
Among the soldiers was a white-haired girl with slanted bangs.
The woman's face was covered in blood, and she was holding a runic greatsword that was taller than herself.
The woman was Riven, but Riven was now just an insignificant soldier in the Noxian army.
They were not ruthlessly disappointed in the Noxian army.
Wiping the blood from her face, Riven looked towards the distant battlefield.
She is now extremely eager to make a name for herself; her goal is not just to be a soldier.
Meanwhile, outside the village in Ionia, Wenxuan released his grip on Irelia's hand.
"Alright, we've finally gotten rid of those reckless guys."
Even with Yumi's help, Wenxuan was still exhausted.
After shaking off the soldiers, he plopped down on the ground and looked at the sparsely populated village ahead.
Due to the war, there are few men left in Ionia, as most of them have been conscripted to fight against the Noxian army.
Looking around, Wenxuan saw either elderly people or children about his age, but the children were not as fair-skinned and handsome as him; their faces were weathered, making them look like adults in their fifties or sixties.
"Who exactly are you, and why are you helping me?"
The Irelia was also exhausted, but she was strong-willed and didn't show it.
In addition, she is now filled with questions.
The child in front of her not only helped her but also saved her; she had originally prepared herself to die in battle.
Upon hearing this, Wenxuan glanced at Daomei, whose heart was pounding like a rabbit's due to running for so long.
The girl was wearing what looked like a bodysuit, and you could clearly see the pink dots of the little bunny inside.
