LOL: The days of cultivating immortals in Rune Continent

Chapter 28: Macrostone Forest
Rowan didn't know how long it took him to get from Nokmachi to Hongshi Forest.

He only knew that when he arrived at the Hongshi Forest mentioned by the soldier Lance, it was probably late at night.

The bright moonlight shone on Rowan's head. After getting off the horse, Rowan prepared to enter the Hongshi Forest alone.

Lance did not follow because he no longer had the energy. If Rowan had not said that he was coming to rescue the Demacia reconnaissance team, then when Lance returned, he would probably be captured by the Noxians before he could even see them.

To a certain extent, Lance had already made up his mind to die at that time, and he went back to seek death.

And now, Rowan is willing to go to the rescue. Although Rowan is the only one, Lance still feels a lot more relaxed. And once he relaxed, he fell asleep.

Before entering the forest, Rowan reached out and patted the yellow horse's butt again. This horse had been with Rowan for nearly half a month. Since it was the first time for Rowan to own a horse, Rowan was very good to it.

He fed the horse grass himself and brushed its fur. As a result, Rowan and the yellow horse, whom he called Carrot, developed a good relationship.

Just like now, Luo Wen looked at this human-like yellow horse, patted it, and said softly:
"Luo Bo, I can go alone. You can go back the same way. You can find the way back, right?"

Carrot snorted, then ran towards Nockmochi's place, proving that Rowan's guess was correct.

This horse is really very human.

But this is normal. After all, Demacia also has a falcon that can carry people into the sky and can serve as a top combat force when it lands on the ground.

So is it a problem if horses are very spiritual?

For Luo Wen, there is really no problem!

After entering Hongshi Forest, just like when he was in Qingfeng Town, Luo Wen was very familiar with the environment in the jungle. The skills given by Uncle Srilan played a big role. Soldiers were not as familiar with this kind of terrain as hunters.

Therefore, the moment Luo Wen entered the Hongshi Forest, he jumped onto a tree easily like a fish in water. Then, Luo Wen shuttled back and forth among the trees, as fast as a monkey.

After walking for about ten minutes, Rowan saw a group of people wearing armor under the moonlight. Their equipment was not uniform. Their clothes and weapons were of various styles. Some guys wore chain mail on the upper body and heavy armor on the lower body. Some wore leather armor and light armor with holes in them. Rowan took a deep breath and recognized this group of people - they were Noxians.

Only Noxian soldiers have such equipment. Due to the huge population, universal military service and backward economic strength, although Noxus can produce thousands of weapons every day, they are non-standard weapons. In terms of demand, it is impossible for them to be beautiful, because the main feature of Noxian weapons is that they are easy to use and can kill people.

Weapons such as chain hammers and machete axes are the most common weapons in Noxus. On the battlefield, chain hammers and axes have the greatest lethality.

Sword? There is no way there will be a sword. Swords are very beautiful, but they are definitely not the most practical weapon on the battlefield.

If the weapons are in this condition, let alone the armor, even though they have the Delverhold for metal supplies, the lower-level soldiers of Noxus are not qualified to obtain sophisticated equipment.

Only after achieving victories, achievements and honors can one obtain a higher status and better weapons.

In fact, before Rowan came here, he had a better impression of Noxus, because although Noxus is a militaristic empire, it also takes the path of the capable to rise to the top. For example, Darius, an orphan from the port, rose step by step to the position of the general of the empire, but does Noxus really have no conspiracy?

Not at all. Even after Swain came to power, he allowed the country to recuperate and reorganized the nobles, but Noxus was still riddled with holes.

After coming to this world, Luo Wen finally understood one thing - even though netizens on the Internet all say that Noxus is good, if they were really asked to travel through time, how many of them would actually choose Noxus as their birthplace?
Birth point? Resurrection point!
No matter how much we glorify Noxus' actions, Noxus is always a destroyer.

If Rowan had traveled to Noxus instead of Demacia, he would have been forced to serve in the army at the age of six.

Isn't that how Kayn was arranged in Noxus? He was sent to the battlefield of Ionia as a child, so that the Ionian rebels would not have the heart to attack these boy scouts.

To put it bluntly, Noxus' military culture is fucking inhumane.

If you go to Demacia, as long as you are not a mage, let alone such abstract things as children going to the battlefield, even if you honestly farm at home, if someone comes to forcibly conscript you to go to the battlefield, do you believe that His Majesty Jarvan III will be the first to go up and chop that person up?
Why does Rowan like Demacia? Because Demacia is really good at doing things.
There is one thing Jarvan III said that Rowan will never forget -

"The people pay taxes. What are taxes? Taxes are the price of shelter and welfare. If any noble forces the people to go to the battlefield as cannon fodder, then it must be the noble's fault. Ladies and gentlemen, whether the people of Demacia want to protect Demacia is their choice, and it is our duty to protect them!"

"Unless the country is destroyed, Demacia will not allow civilians to go to the battlefield!"

No wonder Jarvan III is hailed as a famous king and a holy king.

It is no wonder that the slogan of Demacia gradually changed from "For Demacia" to "For His Majesty Jarvan III", because the king really does things.
Rowan stood on the tree, watching the army slowly disappear from his sight.

Luo Wen's eyes were filled with confusion.

Then, Luo Wen suddenly moved.

Instead of leaving somewhere else, they caught up with the Noxian army.

Rowan had never killed anyone.

But now, Rowan is going to give it a try.

Even though he felt a little disgusted physiologically, Luo Wen still went because he was now on a battlefield.

When he arrived in Nok'mach, Rowan was ready to kill, or in other words, when he entered the Demacia capital, Rowan was ready to kill.

With the giant sword on his back, Rowan had a military dagger in his hand. The noise caused by the giant sword during a fight would be too loud, and it was not suitable for assassination. The noise caused by the giant sword would alert the scattered Noxians around. Therefore, Rowan now wanted to use this dagger to end the lives of the soldiers of this Noxian army.
