The Hand of Noxus is a symbol of the empire's force and the most loyal warrior of the empire. How can...how can it stand on the opposite side of the empire...!

"Damn...damn...!"

Darius punched the desk again and again, and the expensive solid wood table soon shattered under the brute force.

The hurried footsteps of guards immediately sounded outside the door.

"I'm fine!" Darius almost yelled at the guards to step back.

When the footsteps gradually faded away, he calmed down a little.

He bent down awkwardly and picked up the documents on the floor again.

Finally, his eyes rested on the latest internal announcement.

That was given to him by the Trifari Legion—or rather by Swain himself.

[A conflict broke out on the border between the western part of the empire and Demacia, resulting in six deaths and 23 injuries. 】

[The garrison generals of the Gate of Sorrow have returned in triumph. 】

[The No. 19 Infantry Regiment of the Trifari Legion is heading to the Gate of Sorrow. 】

"Chen Ce..."

Chapter 51 Ai Xi: You little coward!

The crisis in the north has basically been calmed down, and Chen Ce, Ai Xi, and Sejuani finally embarked on their return journey.

When parting, Lissandra gave them many ice beasts with excellent bloodlines and well-trained training, as well as countless grains in warehouses. They had a relatively comfortable life in the past few days before returning home.

When they saw the Freljord Alliance wall again on the other side of the horizon, the patrolling escort team also saw them.

Then came the cheers that resounded throughout the camp.

Their war mother, war mother's "little boyfriend" and war mother's good sisters returned with smiles. The situation in the north is self-evident.

Countless clansmen lined the streets to greet him, and some brave clansmen even took the initiative to offer flowers that were very rare in Freljord.

Although the damaged city walls and streets have not been completely repaired, the traces of damage have been repaired and buried by the tribesmen. The collapsed houses are also being rebuilt in full swing. The entire camp is filled with a sense of vitality.

The trauma after the war has disappeared, replaced by more lush vegetation and farmland, as well as more brave, strong, and well-equipped warriors.

The cold winter has passed, and there is sunshine and streams in the south in early spring.

"Ashe! Ashe! Ashe!"

"Chen Ce! Chen Ce! Chen Ce!"

"Sejuani! Sejuani! Sejuani!"

…………

……

The loud shouting continued until sunset.

After taking a short rest, it was time for the three people to start their work - Ashe was preparing a speech, Sejuani went to distribute the supplies given by Lissandra to the people of the Winter's Claw, Chen Ce...

Chen Ce's task is not heavier than the two girls, but it is obviously more troublesome.

He carried the door-like shield or the shield-like door and walked towards the corner of the camp under the enthusiastic gaze of everyone.

There were two strong bald men there.

One is fatter, one is leaner; one is taller, one is shorter.

The two of them were clinking glasses together without saying a word, surrounded by wooden wine barrels that had already been drunk.

Chen Ce slowly approached.

"Oh, brother..." Gragas grabbed the last barrel of wine.

"Alas..." Bron began to drink wine from his glass.

"You have to believe Mr. Chen Ce... He is not the kind of person who borrows things without paying them back..." Gragas filled the bottle for his brother again.

"It's been eight days, thirteen hours and 28 minutes..." Bronn drank another gulp.

"Then...wait for one more day...just one day..."

"You have no idea what that shield means to me..."

"I understand, I understand..."

"No...you don't understand..."

"got it……"

"don't know……"

"I understand... why don't you take a break and stop drinking first..."

"It's still early..."

"But you've been drinking for seven days without sleeping..."

"I can't die yet..."

"..."

"..."

The conversation between the two strong men was appalling.

Chen Ce's already slow steps became more hesitant, and the huge goat horn shield reflected the afterglow of the setting sun on his back.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and walked over.

"Bron, your shield!"

"...?" The bald man with two mustaches raised his head dully, with a blank look in the center of his deep eye bags.

After a moment, there was light again in his eyes that had lost their vitality.

"My...shield!"

Bronn jumped up from the ground with excitement, and then hugged the shield handed to him - as tightly as he hugged his lover.

Gragas on the side saw it and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I just said that Mr. Chen Ce is not the kind of person who borrows things and doesn't return them."

"Yes, yes..." The joy of finding something made Bronn wipe his eyes.

The atmosphere suddenly became very relaxed and relaxed.

Everything seemed to be perfectly resolved.

But... Chen Ce still looked nervous.

Even cold sweat broke out on his back.

because...because...

"You know, Mr. Chen Ce... this shield is my best friend..." Bronn was so excited that he choked up a little, "I thought... I thought I would never see him again... Thank you ...Thank you very much for returning him to me..."

"Ah...of course...haha..." Chen Ce scratched his head, his eyes evasive.

"Great...my best friend is back safely..."

"Um... uh..."

The more he heard Bronn's words, the more frightened he became...

There are some things that I just can’t say out loud...

but……

Chen Ce took a sneak peek at the position where Bron's hand was grasping.

The latter caressed the shield gently, moving his big hand from top to bottom.

He quickly touched the lower edge of the shield.

There……

"Huh?" Bronn suddenly felt something was wrong in his hand and immediately raised the shield above his head.

This goat-horned shield shimmered in the setting sun.

But the huge gap also became particularly obvious.

A slap opened a large gap, and cracks like spider webs extended in all directions... Almost half of the shield became extremely fragile and broke at a touch.

The severity of the crack is almost the same as that of one glued on.

"...?" Bronn's eyes widened instantly.

Gragas silently hugged the barrel and ran away.

Chen Ce stayed where he was with a face full of embarrassment, his evasive eyes almost drifting to the sky.

"It was...in order to deal with Aatrox...that...Ornn took action...during the fight, he accidentally...this..."

"..." Bronn was silent.

Chen Ce felt guilty: "This is indeed my fault... I apologize to you... I will try my best to compensate you with other equipment..."

"No need." Bron's choking stopped, his excitement disappeared, and his tone became extremely calm.

But the more he behaves like this, the more guilty and guilty Chen Ce feels.

"I know that nothing I can give you can make up for my fault...but...if you need anything, feel free to ask for it..."

"I don't need anything."

"Feel sorry……"

"Yes." Bronn turned around lonely and sat on the ground holding his shield.

This may be regarded as accepting the other party's apology, but it is impossible to say that it is not uncomfortable.

The shield was his best friend, as close as his mate... and he had never let go of it since he got it.

This time, Chen Ce not only used it, but also ruined it...

It hurts, it hurts so much...!

Seeing this, Chen Ce continued: "If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely ask the Lord of Forging to do it for you again——"

"No need." Bronn interrupted.

Chen Ce suddenly felt at a loss.

But just when he was about to continue apologizing, this kind-hearted bald man suddenly stood up.

"I just want to know one thing now..." Bronn put down his shield and stepped closer to the opponent.

The shadow cast by that huge figure directly enveloped Chen Ce.

Chen Ce sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that whether the other party wanted to scold him or take action later, he would have to endure it for a while - after all, he was indeed a bit unreasonable.

Bronn came closer.

Chen Ce is also ready to "please bear the burden of sin".

However...the imagined accusation did not come.

What came out of Bronn's mouth...

There is only one word of concern:

"I just want to know, has my shield protected you? How many people have I saved?"

Chen Ce was stunned.

Bron showed a hearty smile.

A cute little Poro came out of his pocket and landed on Chen Ce's head.

"As long as you protect everyone with this shield..."

Bron patted Chen Ce on the shoulder with his two rows of clean white teeth exposed.

"I won't blame you, I will just thank you - my friend."
