Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 741 Welcome

"Wow~!"

The moist and warm sea breeze blew gently, and on the dock paved with neat and gorgeous marble, Medarda, Philos, and Gilaman...

All the famous families in Piltover were waiting here quietly.

The nobles present seemed calm, but if one looked closely into their eyes, one would discover suppressed worry and distress.

At this moment, Caitlyn, who has become the de facto controller of Piltover's security department with the support of her family and Hefeng Industries, is standing at the front of the dock.

In the crowd, Jace and Mel stood together. Looking at the uncontrollable sorrow and a hint of fear on the faces of their financial sponsors and mentors, Jace gently reached out and held Mel's hand.

"Mel, now that things have come to this, we just need to be careful. Maybe things haven't reached that point yet."

"Well, thank you Jace."

Seeing the encouraging smile on Jace's face, Mel pursed his lips slightly and smiled.

Not long ago, there was a theft in Midalda's laboratory.

Jayce's first reaction was to think that it was done by the competitor Zephyr Industries, but after careful investigation, it was discovered that the stolen 'Hextech' device had already left Piltover.

The clues were interrupted here, but soon, letters from Noxus made Mel panic.

Anbessa Medarda, the ruthless Noxian general who ordered her to be sent to Piltover, will arrive in Piltover soon.

Just as the equipment in the laboratory guarded by the Midalda family was stolen, his mother suddenly wrote to say that she was coming to Piltover.

No matter how optimistic one is, one cannot ignore the connection between the two.

Although Mel did not explain to her boyfriend, a native of Piltover, how terrifying the Noxian general was in order not to add more pressure to the already busy Jayce, Mel was already prepared to negotiate with his mother.

Even if it means exposing his long-hidden power, he must protect Hextech to prevent Piltover, the city where he spent his childhood and adulthood, from becoming the nourishment of the war fortress of Noxus.

"coming!"

Caitlin waved her hand as she easily surpassed the limits of ordinary people's vision and looked at the black and red flag rising from the sea level in the distance.

“Click~Click~!”

The Piltover sheriffs quickly lined up according to the drill formation. Seeing this, the nobles also stepped forward and stood on both sides of the scarlet carpet, waiting quietly.

It was uncertain whether there would be anyone on the Noxian ship observing them with a telescope, but as long as there was such a possibility, waiting in advance was the safest and most reliable strategy.

After all, for these Piltover masters, they may not remember who has sent gifts, but they remember clearly who has not sent gifts.

Judging from their own experience, these nobles had no choice but to show their most respectful attitude.

"Wow~!"

The huge warship slowly sailed into the port. Just as it approached the dock, the shadow cast against the sunlight enveloped the people waiting on the shore, and a faint sense of oppression surged in everyone's hearts.

Small and huge, such a sharp contrast, just like Piltover in front of Noxus.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

"Bang~!"

Heavy wooden boards fell on the dock, and a group of warriors wearing black and red armor and nearly two meters tall quickly came to the dock from the deck and formed a formation.

The Piltover nobles who were standing closer could vaguely smell a scent of blood from those warriors. Although fear and disgust were surging in their hearts, they did not dare to show it at all. Instead, they stood obediently in place, quietly staring at the warship.

"Dong dong dong~!"

A huge and strong figure, more than a head taller than the first Noxian soldier who came down, slowly walked down the wooden planks.

With every step the man took, the heavy wooden planks swayed slightly.

His cold gaze, like the light reflected from an executioner's blade, swept across everyone, and anyone who came into contact with the gaze of this terrifying Noxian lowered their head.

Caitlyn noticed the actions of the people around her out of the corner of her eye, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, and then she looked straight at the Noxian warrior.

But what she didn't expect was that the moment the Noxian warrior noticed Caitlyn, he immediately withdrew his gaze, walked aside and waited quietly.

The next moment, a cold figure wearing black armor and with lush curly hair fluttering in the sea breeze like the hair on a running wolf king slowly walked down the wooden board.

"Ok?"

His palms were clenched tightly, and Jace subconsciously looked at Mel beside him, only to see his girlfriend pursing her lips slightly and staring at the figure on the deck stubbornly.

Seeing this, Jace understood that it was Anbesa Midarda.

Seeing the real boss appear, the Piltover nobles were about to go up to him, but they found that this Noxian general, like the terrible warrior before, came to the team of Noxian soldiers and waited quietly.

"Something's wrong! What's going on?!"

The nobles of Piltover looked at each other, with surprise and doubt in their eyes.

Then, they subconsciously looked at the old man standing at the front of the team - Jagu Midarda.

He looked calm and composed, not at all surprised by the situation.

'This old fellow has not revealed any news to us!'

Cursing silently in their hearts, the nobles' uneasiness slowly disappeared.

Apart from anything else, the fact that Piltover has been able to reach a certain degree of cooperation with Noxus over the years is due to the efforts of this old man.

Since he is not nervous today, there is no need for everyone to panic.

“Da~da~da~!”

The steady and rhythmic footsteps, even on this pier with the noisy sea breeze, still rang in everyone's ears.

A man dressed in black and red, gorgeous yet not complicated, close-fitting clothes perfectly accentuates his tall, straight, and perfectly proportioned figure.

The dark eyes were calm and bottomless, and their gaze was not as sharp and cold as those of the previous two. However, the people who looked at those eyes felt more and more in awe of the newcomer.

Half a step behind it, the petite shoulders formed a huge contrast with the giant rune blade like a door panel.

The straight back without any effort silently but clearly demonstrated the powerful strength of this white-haired female warrior.

"Li...Li En!?"

Caitlin's eyes suddenly widened, and she subconsciously took half a step forward, but then she quickly restrained herself.

"Boom~!"

The Noxian soldiers took a heavy step, holding their weapons, and saluted Li En in unison.

The fierce and murderous atmosphere made the nobles present breathe a little hard.

His gentle gaze swept across everyone and finally fell on Caitlin in the crowd. A smile appeared on Li En's lips.

"Everyone, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much."
