She is no longer a knight of imperial glory.She was just a handful of Noxian bones held together by mud and sinew.

"Riwen." Chen Ce read her name in a deep voice.

Didn't get any response.

"Riven." He called again.

Still no response.

However, Ah Li, who was standing aside and holding an umbrella, reminded him in a low voice: "Boss, you can actually come closer and shout."

"...Pay attention to the atmosphere." Chen Ce's eyes twitched and he slowly walked forward.

He squatted down, less than half a meter away from Riven.

Only then did he realize that there was something wrong with the other party's mental state - her face turned a sickly red color, her breathing was very rapid, and she looked confused.

Probably...sick?

"Riven, can you hear me?"

"You are..." Finally, the tired female knight responded: "A soldier of the resistance... have you turned into a ghost to seek revenge on me..."

"Ghost?" Ah Li was startled, "Boss, so you are a ghost? No wonder I can't charm you!"

"Bahhhh..." Chen Ce chased the fox girl aside like a kitten.

Then he pulled Ahli back to avoid getting caught in the rain.

"I'm not a ghost, Riven. I'm still alive and well - I came here to see you specifically about Elder Suma."

"Suma...Elder..." Riven shook her head vigorously, but her consciousness only became more and more blurred. "He is dead... I heard about his death... He was killed by me..."

"It seems you are still awake." Chen Ce nodded, "Then stand up and follow me - as a war criminal or prisoner."

"War criminals...prisoners...war criminals...prisoners..." Riven murmured these two words repeatedly, and her body began to shake.

Thump.Finally, she fell straight to the ground.

She was exhausted from wandering without sleep for many days without water. Coupled with the continuous thunderstorms in the wet season that constantly washed away her defenseless body, her spirit and body had completely collapsed.

The experience during this period was simply a nightmare for her, a nightmare that was destined to haunt her for the rest of her life, torturing her both mentally and physically.

She will eventually be overwhelmed.

But she is not worthy of pity.

She deserves no mercy from any Ionian.

Including Chen Ce.

"Ahri, take her to Yasuo."

"Oooh, okay...hey!" Ahri struggled to carry Riven, and then used several tails to wrap up the broken sword on the ground.

Riwen's trial was about to begin early - much earlier than the original timeline, but Chen Ce did not feel relaxed.

He always has a premonition...

Noxus' offense will also deviate from the development of the original timeline.

Chapter 33 Judgment of Riven

Riven is a battle-hardened warrior who has been caught between battles and life and death since she was a child. Her physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people. Generally speaking, she will not contract minor illnesses such as fever.

But this time, not only did she have a fever, she also had a severe fever.

After many days of not eating, drinking, being exposed to wind and rain, her body, which had been damaged by chemical flames, completely collapsed. A high fever directly reached [-] degrees Celsius.

Yasuo and Yongen stood by the bed in silence, looking at the Noxian in front of them who was most likely the culprit of Elder Souma's death. Their eyes could hardly contain the desire to kill.

They wished they could cut her into pieces with their swords right now, but they couldn't.

They even had to save her from dying of the fever - which made them furious.

But fortunately, Chen Ce didn't need them to do anything, as long as they stood guard at the door.

"Hey, I have to waste half a bottle of corruption potion again..."

Chen Ce took out the unique-shaped bottle from his bag and poured the corruption potion into Riwen's mouth under Ahri's envious gaze.

Not long after, the latter woke up leisurely - a fever was not a serious illness, and the half bottle of corruption potion was enough to restore her most basic body functions.

Painful murmurs and ravings gradually began to sound, and the sinful female knight finally slowly opened her dark brown eyes.

Then, she saw the Ionian rebel who was supposed to die in Dragonspine Canyon—a young man about her age.

"It's you..." She turned her head numbly and looked at the ceiling. "Did you save Irelia...the respectable leader of the resistance..."

"Well, she is fine now, and she was not injured at that time." Chen Ce replied calmly, but there was a hint of indifference in his tone. "Thank you for your concern, but now may not be the time to talk about that."

"You are here to judge me...right..."

"Before I judge you, there is one more person who will judge you."

"Who……"

"Yasuo."

"I do not recognize……"

"A disciple of Elder Suma. A disciple of the elder you killed."

"..." Hearing this, Riwen suddenly fell silent.

She shook her head in pain, trying to remember something, but the terrible pain stopped her.

Maybe she had some degree of amnesia.

But it doesn't matter, she doesn't remember, others will remember it for her.

Yasuo walked over with heavy steps and his breathing became rapid and heavy.He held the sword at his waist tightly, and more than once wanted to cut the Noxian in front of him into pieces.

But he finally held back.

He drew his sword in front of Riven, and then used the sword skills taught to him by Elder Summa to create a small whirlwind.

"Do you remember this kind of strong wind? Just that night! The strong wind that the elder used when he broke your damn giant sword for you!"

"..." Riven remained silent, but her dull eyes suddenly gained some shape.

Painful memories came flooding in, along with the betrayal of the motherland... Yes, she remembered everything, but her subconscious wanted to protect her and bury that painful memory for her.

The moment she saw the wind-controlling swordsmanship, she remembered everything.

About this period of wandering, about everything that night... She didn't know it at the time, but when she returned to the village, she heard about the old man's death...

It was she who killed the respected old man.

"I... I didn't mean it... I asked him to break my giant sword for me... I didn't want to hurt him... I didn't mean it... I didn't..."

Riven covered her head with a look of extreme pain on her face.

Yasuo saw this scene in his eyes and became even more angry.

But just when he was about to scold the other party, "Stop pretending," Riven suddenly stopped.

She no longer showed pain, and just put her hands on her chest calmly.She suddenly became very quiet.

After a moment, she said in a calm tone: "Kill me."

"Kill you? You admitted it, didn't you!" Yasuo could no longer suppress his inner anger, and the sword was pressed against Riven's throat in an instant. "It was you who killed Elder Suma! It was you!!"

"Yes... kill me." The latter remained calm, "Avenge your master, and also avenge the Ionians who were harmed by me."

Hearing this, Yasuo's sword-holding hand trembled.

But...he didn't draw his sword for a long time.

The more calm Riven looks like this, the angrier he becomes and the less willing he is to take action - not out of pity, but out of...

resentment.

Killing her directly would not give her the punishment she deserved.

She should die in extreme pain and resentment, in endless pain and struggle... instead of dying so happily!

"Get up! You Noxian bastard!" Yasuo grabbed the other party's collar and roughly pulled him up from the bed.

But the other person's eyes have calmed down.

Or...desperate.

That kind of gaze without any desire to survive made Yasuo even more irritated.

"What's wrong, do you think it's too easy to kill me directly?" Riven said calmly, "Then torture me slowly... You can cut off my flesh piece by piece, or you can cut me into a human stick and then kill me. , it’s up to you.”

"You beast!!" Yasuo roared angrily, and finally dropped the sword in his hand.

puff--!The sound of the sharp blade piercing flesh was clearly audible.

But... Riven just frowned slightly.

Because it was not her neck that was pierced by the sharp blade, but only her shoulder.

The moment blood spurted out, Yasuo finally calmed down a little.

"Yes, that's right...I won't kill you so easily..." He kicked the other person's eyes viciously, "I will take you to trial first and let the judge determine your crime...and then kill you." about you!"

"If this makes you feel better...please do it." Riven simply closed her eyes.

Yasuo almost broke his back molars.

Yongen didn't waste any words and took Riven to the trial on the spot.

The two swordsman brothers set up Riven, one on the left and the other on the right, already thinking about the confession they would give to the judge during the trial.

But the moment they walked out of the room, something changed suddenly.

A sharp arrow suddenly struck.

Yasuo had quick eyesight and quick hands. In just a blink of an eye, he pulled out the long sword that had just been put into the scabbard, and split the incoming arrow in two with a sword-drawing gesture.

However, before he could figure out the situation, dozens of arrows flew at the same time from the other side of the jungle, each one aimed at their vitals.

Dang Dang Dang Dang——!The sound of swords chopping down arrows suddenly became denser.

Yasuo and Yone were confused as they defended.

Only Chen Ce on the side felt like a mirror:

"Sure enough, they are still here...the target of those Noxians is you, Yasuo."

Chapter 34 The path to salvation lies within

More and more arrows were shot from the darkness. The two swordsmen Yasuo and Yongen struggled to block them. Although they were able to do so with ease, the doubts in their hearts became more and more serious.

They didn't understand why the Noxians suddenly chose to attack their village.

What was there about a small village with only a few dozen families and nothing but sword skills that the Noxians could attack?

"You just said... really? You already knew that these Noxians would attack here?" Yasuo asked Chen Ce while blocking the flying arrows.

"It's not expected, it's guessed." The latter replied, "They want your life, Yasuo."

"Why?"

"Because your wind control swordsmanship can restrain their new chemical weapons - the tragic scene you saw in Dragon's Back Canyon before."

As Chen Ce spoke, he slowly took off Dolan's Gun from his back.

Compared to others, he seemed much calmer.

Yes, he had a premonition... As early as when he was attacked by Samira, he had a premonition that he would be attacked after joining Yasuo.

Therefore, he was not unprepared.

I actually wrote more than one letter that day.

The other was sent to Placidion - informing Irelia of the attack and that Noxus might be targeting Yasuo.

If nothing else, Irelia immediately sent troops to the village after receiving the letter - it just took a while.

Presidio is too far away from here, and not all soldiers have extraordinary physiques like them and can travel day and night for several consecutive days, so it takes a long time to get here.
