The Mage Behind the Scenes From the Twin Cities

"Demacia!"

Norkmurch border with Demacia.

With Galen's powerful roar, the fearless pioneers behind him raised their weapons in unison, and shouted in high morale:

"Demacia!"

"Demacia!"

It was powerful and majestic, like a heavy cloud entrenched in the low sky, woven into a tight and airtight net, which was overwhelming.

The successive shouts made the eardrums of the newly established "Searching for Mercenaries in Nuoke Murchi" tremble, and they pursed their lips and felt chills in their hearts.

The army of a strong country is nothing more than this.

"Empty-long, empty-long!"

At the same time, the sand and stones on the ground rolled, and there was a slight tremor from the soles of the feet. Anyone who knew it knew that this was the noise that could only be caused when a large army was marching.

"Roar!"

The mighty sound of a tiger's roar came from the other side of the plain, and from the far and wide horizon, a straight black line could be seen advancing at extreme speed.

This is a black tiger cavalry clad in heavy armor, with the majestic momentum of sweeping everything that passes along the way, coming in the wind.

Looking from a distance, the black pressure destroys the city, and there is a sense of shock and awe that a storm in the yellow sand desert will strike.

The man at the head was a mighty figure, strong in martial arts, riding on the back of a tiger, carrying a sharp battle axe, and his resolute face was filled with bloodthirsty excitement.

Behind this heavy armored cavalry, there is an endless, neatly arranged infantry formation, led by a 5-meter-tall strong man wearing cyan armor.

On his shoulders, there is also a young girl sitting.

"Noxus!!"

Darius looked at the approaching Fearless Pioneer array, but instead of giving an order to stop, he launched a high-pitched charge.

The entire Cui Fali battle group rushed forward with the mighty power of destroying Kuku Laqiao. The black tigers galloping and roaring, and the elites with cold faces condensed into a huge tiger at this moment, and the fierce tiger was sharp. The tiger palm was raised high, trying to smash the fearless pioneer in front of him.

In the face of Noxus' most elite chapter, Garen's expression was nothing but determination.

He lowered his eyebrows fiercely, took two steps forward, swung his arm violently, and thrust his giant sword into the soil in front of him with a bang.

Then Garen raised his head high, folded his hands on the hilt of the sword, and no longer had any extra movement to meet the charge of the Trifary Chapter, and there was no trace of fear on his face.

This action of his greatly infected the soldiers behind him. All the soldiers of the Fearless Pioneer stood upright in the same place, just like when the gust of wind and tsunami swept through, the fearless stood on the bank of the embankment.

At this moment, a solemn and brave breath spread and spread in the army, and the expressions on everyone's faces turned into the same sentence:

Fearless pioneer, never back down!

wow—

The black tide hit the silver shield formation.

This triggering scene is like the fuze of the explosive barrel, which is about to burn to the last moment.

The mercenaries who belonged to Norkmoch were next to them. They watched the scene in front of them, and their whole hearts were raised to their throats.

Even though the Trifali Chapter led by Darius did not charge them, they still inevitably felt terrified and withdrawn, especially when they saw the black tigers rushing towards them, everyone was on their legs. Weak and dizzy, I just want to throw away my armor and crawl on the ground, ready to be dispatched.

Even many people are thinking that if the two armies really fight here, they will most likely be harvested by the aftermath of the spread and become the most useless souls.

Empty-Long!

The violent shaking of the ground stopped abruptly when it reached its peak.

Less than 5 meters away from Garen, the black giant tiger that Darius was riding stopped abruptly.

At the same time, the Trifali Chapter's mounts were uniform, and the order was forbidden. In an instant, they stopped the forward rush and stopped firmly behind Darius.

The two teams were very close to each other, looking at each other from the air.

Darius pulled the reins, the corners of his mouth grinned slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes:

"Sword Captain Garen?"

The coward who did not appear in the last war in front of him also showed a different style this time.

"Hand of Noxus, please!"

Galen's voice was solemn and resonant, and he didn't lose the slightest bit of Demacia's prestige.

His voice fell, and the soldiers of the Fearless Pioneer retreated to the sides, giving way to the middle.

They stood solemnly with their spears raised, as if they were not at all afraid of the Noxian charge.

With their formation, the Trifali Chapter could defeat this elite Demacian force with a single charge.

Darius did not do this, but pulled on the reins and rode the tiger roaring down the road Garen had made.

Garen's behavior and boldness made him feel a little better about Demacia.

Most of the people here have decayed, but there are still a few interesting people on the battlefield.

"The Trifali Chapter, move forward in silence!"

After giving the order, Darius took the lead in rushing past the front of the Fearless Vanguard and headed towards the interior of Demacia.

Garen and the Dreadnought Pioneer, as well as the elites of the northern front led by Orianna, will go to the northern mountains together, while the Trifali chapter led by Darius will arrive at the northern fortress of Demacia ahead of schedule to reconcile with Jarvan.

Knowing that Noxus had invaded Demacia, Winter's Claw would not miss such a good opportunity.

The horn of war... has sounded!

When the iron cavalry of the Trifali Chapter roared past, Garen immediately saw the elites of the North accompanying him.

Most of this force was made up of the barbarian tribes of the Freljord who leaned towards Noxus. Their races were tall and burly, and they consisted of multiple chapters of different tribes.

In addition to the iron armored Sain walking at the forefront, behind him are barbarian chiefs riding various beasts, who each lead their own tribes.

Although the current Noxian army has begun to restructure, from the chapter system to the legion system.

But it was only initially implemented on the southern and eastern fronts, where it was controlled by the Kekao family and the Myrdalda family, and there were more people to serve as lower-level officers.

The Northern Front Corps mostly comes from various tribes, and they disagree with each other. They are better at fighting with tribes as a unit, and their merits and honors will belong to their own tribes.

The current pattern will remain until the next generation of barbarians sent to the War College assumes a prominent position.

When Orianna sat on Shane and walked closer, Galen stood up straight and held his chest high:

"Sword Captain Garen, I am here waiting for the Noxian Legion."

"Congressman Trefary, Orianna. You're a good general."

Orianna's voice still carried that sense of tranquility, neither rushed nor slow, which made people listen to it like a spring breeze.

But her words made Galen's heart tremble.

MP Trifalli.

It's a name that has to be taken seriously.

Being able to become a member of the Trifali Council symbolizes the peak of Noxus' strength.

It was then that he realized...

The girl in front of me who looks about the same age as her sister, her body is not made of flesh and blood...

At first glance, the appearance of the other party is no different from that of ordinary people, with well-defined features and a lively demeanor, even revealing the softness of a girl next door.

Her limbs, however, and her head, all made of clockwork and gears, radiated the characteristic color of Runesteel.

Galen didn't even doubt that the internal organs of the opponent's body had been replaced with sophisticated artificial instruments.

The rune steel is produced from Demacia, and is also known as "Demacian steel". Most of the Fearless Pioneer's equipment is forged with rune steel mixed with forbidden magic stones. He is confident that he will not admit it wrong.

A human body forged from rune steel... He couldn't guess how strong the opponent was.

What's more, the giant man under Orianna who acts as a means of transportation, the opponent is more than five meters tall, fat and strong, and his body is covered with rough armor. The most striking thing is his eyes, like midnight roses, Revealing a scary red light.

Just looking at it, Galen has a sense of crisis with the hair standing up.

If it's right...he will most likely die!

It was a battlefield intuition similar to that of facing Darius.

Even so, Galen's face did not show any strangeness, and he still maintained the attitude of a Demacian who was neither humble nor arrogant, and made a gesture of invitation.

When Orianna nodded forward, Garen pulled the great sword from the soil and carried it behind him, parallel to Orianna, while the Fearless Vanguard followed on the sides and rear of the Noxian army.

"The magnificent scenery of Demacia, I have always wanted to see it." Orianna said contentedly.

With interest in her hex blue eyes, she looked freely at the endless fertile land.

After walking through the territory of Nokmurch, you will officially enter the western plains of Demacia.

The grassland here is delicious and fertile, whether it is animal husbandry or planting, it is a unique place.

Compared to Noxus, which is a desert, the Freljord is extremely cold, and Shurima is full of yellow sand. Demacia is a paradise in terms of climate and environment.

In all of Runeterra, only the land of birth, Ionia, can rival this place.

But it still retains the original atmosphere and landforms, and Demacia, which has not been developed, is more suitable for people to live in.

"Ms. Orianna, Demacia will never let you down!"

Galen could hear the sincerity in Orianna's words, at least, not an attitude of "It's really nice here, I'm going to rob you", but an expression of goodwill.

This also gave him a slight sigh of relief. He was not as politically savvy as Aunt Tiana and his sister, but the sharpness that came from being beaten on the battlefield for many years still gave him an inexplicable intuition.

At least, he can know if the other party is coming to fight by just listening to a sentence or two.

When Darius passed by before, he could clearly feel that the other party wanted to fight the Fearless Pioneer.

But that has nothing to do with the war between the two countries, it is just an interest, an interest in learning from each other.

And Orianna's expression and words did not sound like a general leading an army at all, but a noble lady who wanted to travel to Demacia.

"Ms Orianna, is your body forged from rune steel?"

During the march, after the two sides chatted for a while and became acquainted with each other, Galen couldn't help but ask.

As soon as he said it, he sighed helplessly in his heart.

His original intention was to inquire a little more about Demacia's information about Senator Trefary, but this way of questioning, he felt that it was too straight...

Garen hurriedly added: "I'm just curious, the rune steel is forged by Demacia's special craftsmanship, which can be seen at a glance."

Orianna didn't care, but asked another thing:

"Captain Galen Sword, have you heard of Mechanical Ascension?"

"Mechanical Ascension?"

Galen looked puzzled, he really had never heard of the term.

"Mechanical Ascension is a concept proposed by Mr. Ryan, transforming the human body into a machine, so as to obtain a body that can be transformed indefinitely, and... a soul with no upper limit." Orianna explained at a slow pace.

She didn't intentionally hide it, and none of what she said was a secret.

According to Swain, the interaction between the two countries this time focuses on publicity, and the purpose is to let Demacia witness their development across the times.

"Uh...that's, um...a crazy idea."

Galen racked his brains for a while and gave such an evaluation.

Crazy, yes, unreasonable madness.

I am afraid that only this group of lunatics in Noxus can think of and achieve a body of steel that turns flesh and blood into clockwork and gears.

Thinking of this, Garen took the opportunity to take a closer look at Orianna, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, even a body made of steel gave people a delicate and real beauty.

Her limbs were as slender as willows, she had thin calves, a skirt with golden piping, her face was soft and her forehead was soft, and there was a flax-colored shimmer, reminiscent of the warmth of the sun and the moistness of dew.

"Captain Galen Sword, this is not an incredible thing."

Orianna didn't pay attention to Garen's gaze, just shook her head slightly, and narrated in a gentle voice:

"I was born into a Piltover family, and during a trip to Zaun when I was 12 years old, I became seriously ill and my lungs started to have problems and I couldn't use them to breathe properly. Made a mechanical lung for me for the inventor's father."

Galen opened his mouth slightly, shock on his face.

Can a broken lung be replaced?

This simply subverted his three views.

And since the lungs can be replaced, other limbs and internal organs can also be replaced...

He thought of some of his comrades who retired due to injuries. Some of them lost their hands and feet, making it difficult to maintain a normal life, while others suffered from chronic diseases.

Many faces flashed through his mind, and Galen couldn't help but ask, "Will there be any side effects from organ replacement?"

People are always chasing a vague hope. Even if he knows that Noxus will not share this technology, it is still difficult to suppress the urge to understand and ask.

"Yes." Orianna's bright blue eyes looked at Galen, "The replacement of my lungs has gradually made me lose my emotions, but at the same time I have stronger computing power and brain power, which is an improvement in absolute rationality. ."

"Have you lost your emotions..."

Galen frowned. In his eyes, emotion is what is indispensable to human beings.

Life can be sacrificed, but emotions and beliefs cannot die.

But immediately, he felt that something was wrong, and he wondered:

"But...Ms. Orianna, you look perfectly normal."

Orianna's words were full of emotion, and this was not something that a person who lost his sorrows and joys could disguise.

Of course, it may also be that his eyesight is not enough to see through the other party's disguise.

"This is part of the mechanical ascension. If it's just a pure mechanical body, what's the difference between it and a real machine?" Orianna looked at him with a smile.

"Can you tell me the specific process?"

As Galen rode forward on his warhorse, he couldn't help but glance at the behemoth beside him.

Even if he sits on a horse, he is less than half of Sean's height.

The famous undead **** of war Sain, he dealt with this a lot, and even played against each other.

But compared to the violent appearance before, the current Sien is unusually quiet, like a pile of cold parts...

"certainly."

Orianna readily agreed, and after a little thought, she told in the most accessible way possible:

"The soul is the core of human beings, memory, thoughts, and emotions are stored in it. But the body, as the carrier of the soul, affects the soul at the same time. The internal organs affect the circulation of the human body, and the brain secretes hormones. Therefore, when our internal organs are replaced with After the machine, it will inevitably affect the operation of the brain.”

"..."

Garen sat on his horse and listened quietly, gradually showing an expression of pain.

Listening to Orianna talk about these professional vocabulary and theoretical knowledge is more painful than listening to her sister and aunt talking about politics.

Shaking his head, trying to stay awake, he tried to conclude:

"That is to say...well, if you change your internal organs, you will have problems, but if you change your limbs, you will be fine."

"That's right." Orianna nodded with a smile on her face, "Captain Galen should have heard of prosthetics~www.wuxiamtl.com~prosthetics, it seems to be something from Piltover. ?" Galen thought for a while.

There is a Noxus between Demacia and Piltover. Because of Noxus' strength and its attachment to Piltover, Demacia does not have too much trade with Piltover. contacts.

Even if there were, they were dealing in goods related to nobles, and Galen didn't pay any attention to that.

Orianna nodded and explained further:

"Prosthetics can be installed on the human body as normal limbs to facilitate the normal life of the disabled. This technology has been popularized in Piltover and the Empire. My father is the best prosthetic maker in Piltover."

"It should be possible to make a human mechanical lung." Galen expressed his respect.

In his mind, it is far more difficult to make a mechanical lung than a mechanical limb.

And he wasn't surprised that Noxus and Piltover were able to research these things, after all, those two places weren't quite as disciplined as Demacia.

But for some reason, there was suddenly a hint of envy and discomfort in his heart.

Although he is physically fit and has no need for this, he has many comrades who were disabled due to the war. Not to mention fighting on the front line again, it is difficult to even take care of his daily life.

As their opponents, Noxian soldiers were wounded, but they were able to put on prosthetic limbs and continue to live and work like healthy people.

This seems a little unfair, as the saying goes...

I can make countless mistakes, but you can only make one mistake...

When there is war, there will be casualties, and when there are casualties, there will be grief. This is a part of common sense in the world. However, Noxus seems to be breaking this common sense.

This made Garen, who had always agreed that Demacia's livelihood was better than Noxus, and felt a little uncomfortable.
