The old woman on the side looked a little dumbfounded: "You...you..."
"I'm scary, aren't I?" Riven shook her head in despair, and her powerful aura could not cover up her desperate desire to die. "Go away, I won't hurt you..."
"No, I mean..." The old woman also shook her head, and then pointed to the wound on the other person's arm. "Your wound is open and you need a bandage, kid."
"Huh?" Riwen was stunned.
The old woman had already taken out the strip of cloth from the small cloth bag she carried with her.
"This is the cloth I use to make clothes... Just make do with it for now, kid."
"..." Riven stood stiffly, feeling the rough touch on her arm.
And...the long-lost warmth.
"I...I'm a Noxian..." she repeated.
"I know, you just said it." The old woman replied.
"I have harmed this land... I have killed many people..."
"I know, I know...but you have changed for the better, haven't you?" The old woman also sighed, "Stop talking about it now, come with us first, you hurt those Noxians. , they won’t let you go.”
"..." Riwen remained silent and her body remained stiff.
She didn't even know when she left with the old woman.
But...at this moment, she did feel something different.
Something...something she never seemed to have...a wonderful feeling...reassuring...
Chen Ce saw Riwen leaving with an old woman - or in other words, protecting the old woman.
Not long ago, a ruthless executioner who only obeyed Noxian orders and acted like an imperial killing machine suddenly had an "epiphany" and chose to protect those who had been harmed by her. Such a big change can be seen. It seems a little abrupt.
But Chen Ce knew that there was a kind of rationality hidden under this abruptness.
He recognized the old woman - Chava Conde, an old woman with a simple nature, sincerity and kindness.
In the development of the original timeline, it was she who took in the amnesiac Riven, treated Riven sincerely with deep love, and regarded Riven as her own daughter - even when she first met Riven It was already known that Riven was a Noxian.
Grandma Shava’s children all died in the war. She hated the war and hated the invaders, but she finally chose to forgive.
She understood that never-ending hatred would only cause more people to die, more parents to lose their children, and more blood to soak this beautiful land... She chose to forgive.Forgive every enemy who has reformed.
This forgiveness is not a sign of weakness.
She still has the courage to fight and will always support the rebels fighting on the front lines, hoping to drive all invaders out of Ionia without leaving a single trace.
Her forgiveness is actually forgiving herself.
This is a two-way redemption.
Eternal hatred will only bring eternal bloodshed and death. Someone must choose to forgive first.
And she, Chava Conde, was the great person who bravely took this step.
Chen Ce respected her wishes.
Of course, this does not mean that Chen Ce will forgive Riwen on behalf of everyone because of her forgiveness.
The trials that should be conducted will still be carried out, and the punishments that should be met will still be imposed - whether it is the trial of this village or the trial of the resistance; whether it is a living crime or the death penalty.
only……
Maybe she can find her own way to redemption.
Start by protecting this village.
Redeeming others is also redeeming yourself.
Chapter 36 One man is in charge, and ten thousand men are not allowed to open it.
This small village with only a hundred or ten people was surrounded by thousands of Noxian soldiers and could not be captured for a long time.
It can only be said that it is worthy of being the village that cultivated three legendary swordsmen, Elder Souma, Yasuo and Yongen, and its martial arts foundation is very strong.
Although there are not swordsmen per capita or soldiers per capita, at least every household can stand up with one or two who can fight. The average combat power of the whole village is terrifyingly high, even comparable to some elite teams of the Presidenian Resistance Army. .
But... the situation is still not optimistic.
There are simply too many people on the Noxian side.
Even if the swordsmen's individual combat effectiveness is stronger, they cannot be one against a hundred per person, and their fatigue will soon show due to the absolute disadvantage in numbers.
From dusk to late night, many swordsmen had fallen to the Noxian's swords and axes.
Even Yasuo and Yongen were gradually unable to kill. They were surrounded and almost killed several times.
The only ones who still have the strength to continue fighting now are probably Chen Ce, Ah Li, and...
Blade of Exile·Riven.
"Let me give you a helping hand."
The burning house illuminated the silver-haired woman's calm face and reflected the tranquility in her eyes.
Perhaps she has found her own path - a path that leads to her own redemption and the redemption of others.
This road is full of thorns and is not easy to walk, and she may even lose her life at any time, but she has no regrets.
"Are all the women and children in the village settled?" Chen Ce did not ask the other party why he wanted to help him fight against the Noxians - the answers to some questions were already obvious.
"Well, we have evacuated safely."
Riven came slowly, the broken sword dragging on the ground, making bursts of harsh squeaking sounds.
She walked to Chen Ce and faced the hundreds of Noxian soldiers in the darkness in the distance - her former comrades-in-arms.
"I will help you expel them...please trust me once."
"Don't beg for my trust with words, but with actions." Chen Ce shook his head and looked at the bandage on the other person's right shoulder - where Yasuo had pierced it with his long sword. "Did Grandma Shava bandage you?"
"Yes." Riven nodded in response, and there was finally a softness in her eyes that she had never seen before. "She is a very gentle person..."
"Then I hope you won't live up to this tenderness."
"As it should be."
"You come first and I come first?"
"Let me do it."
Riven took a deep breath, and the broken sword in her hand once again burst out with amazing runic energy, covering her tired and weak body with a hard energy shield.
Countless flaming arrows were fired at her, but she didn't even try to dodge. The arrows hitting the shield only caused waves of green waves.
Then, she untied the bag on her back.
Many glowing metal fragments rose into the air from the bag and flew towards Riven.Those fragments floated to the front of the broken sword, almost forming a complete giant sword - but there were still large gaps between the fragments.
The broken sword is reforged, and the knight is no more.
"drink--!"
Riven stepped forward quickly and swung her sword into the air.
The runic energy contained in the great sword all erupted, and the unrivaled power tore a rift in the night. The strong wind struck the Noxian soldiers who were charging like invisible blades.
Boom——!The rocks shattered, the blades were destroyed, and the bodies of countless Noxians flew into the air like kites with broken strings, and then fell heavily to the ground, losing consciousness instantly.
"Leave it to me here." Riven blocked the entrance to the village, "I'll leave the rest to you."
"No problem." Chen Ce nodded in agreement, and then looked at the Noxian legion coming from the other direction - there were more people there, but the black magician team was relatively small.
It suits him well.
With Riven supporting him here, he could rush over there without any scruples.
"The will to fall into the battle, there is death but not life!"
One man and one gun rushed into the crowd again, and in an instant several more people were carried away by the spears.
But at the same time, several swordsmen were trapped in a tight siege and eventually died under random swords.
This war, destined to be fought with less and more with less, was extremely cruel.
As time passed, the casualties became more and more tragic.
The bright moonlight shone on the ground, illuminating the endless sea of corpses and reflecting the blood flowing in the fields and ravines.
Riven's side gradually became unable to hold on. Fortunately, Yasuo, Yongen and Ahri provided timely support and were able to barely hold on to a front.
But Chen Ce was really fighting alone - he originally thought he could handle it alone, so he asked others to go to Riven's side for reinforcements.
But he didn't expect... the enemy wouldn't be able to kill them all.
Kill ten and twenty more will come.
He underestimated Amystan's determination - that damn woman might have mobilized all the troops nearby.
This was not a tentative attack, and Amystan had no intention of underestimating the enemy.
She has made up her mind to destroy the village before reinforcements from the Presidenian rebels arrive.
For this, no matter how many sacrifices you make, it doesn’t matter.
She is cruel, but she is not stupid... She will not underestimate the enemy, nor will she be arrogant. Once she makes a decision, she will go all out to maximize the probability of success.
Gradually, Chen Ce couldn't hold it any longer.
There was not much corruption potion left, but the dark crowd could not be seen to the end. No matter how hard he tried, he could not kill them all.
The attacks of the black magician team have become more frequent, and even the use of counterattack storms cannot completely block the magic damage...
When the moon hung high above his head, Chen Ce's body was already covered with scars.
His magic power has bottomed out and his physical strength is gradually running out. If he continues to fight, he will be besieged to death sooner or later.
But he didn't give up.
At this critical moment, he looked at the last sip of corruption potion in his hand, and a plan to retreat was quietly born.
He secretly drank the last of the corruption potion while killing several Noxian soldiers in front of him.
After a while, the magic power and vitality recovered somewhat.
He rushed into the crowd again at the cost of injury, and fought hard in the most brutal way - every Noxian he killed died in a horrific manner, with either the heart being picked out, or the head or neck being pierced. , basically no whole body was left behind.
"Come again!" Chen Ce slammed his spear into the ground, and then began to meditate in front of hundreds of Noxian soldiers.
In just one breath, most of the wounds on his body quickly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye - the dual healing effects of meditation and corruption potion.
This strange sight shocked many Noxian soldiers.
But their commander was still shouting from behind: "He is at the end of his strength! Don't be intimidated by him!"
Hearing this, Chen Ce chuckled, raised his hand, pulled out the spear stuck in the ground, and then threw it straight at the Noxian officer.
The moment the spear flew out, he also launched a sprint.
He casually snatched a soldier's weapon, then activated the Counterattack Storm and rushed straight into the crowd. His ability to ignore most physical attacks made him feel like he was in no one's land.
puff--!The spear pierced the officer's chest, and Chen Ce just reached him.
He grasped the barrel of the gun, and then lifted it upward with force. His still beating heart was instantly thrown into the night sky, and the blood spurted out splattered all over his body.
"Even if the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, it will be easy to take your head!"
"Those who are not afraid of death, come again! Fight again!"
"I can fight with you until dawn!"
"Your blood is my supply!"
The powerful roars almost spread throughout the battlefield, and those Noxian soldiers who had previously been thinking of "grabbing heads" suddenly became a little scared.
This man...isn't exhausted at all...
Why can't his physical strength be exhausted... Why does he act like a monster...
Could it be that... can he really feed on human flesh and blood to replenish his physical strength...
There were hundreds of Noxian soldiers, but not one of them had high morale.
