The crossbowmen above the canyon have almost been killed, and only a few of them are hiding somewhere.

But his inner uneasiness still didn't get any relief.

On the contrary, it got worse.

Because he knew that the focus of this battle was not about who was stronger or weaker, Irelia or Riven, but...

Everyone is going to die here.

Both the Ionian resistance and this Noxian army will die here without distinction.

Just because of those humble carriages.

What's inside is a terrible chemical weapon...

Yes, everyone was fooled - both Irelia and Riven.

The intelligence intercepted by Irelia was probably only deliberately released by Noxus, in order to allow Irelia to organize a resistance group in advance to intercept this "secret team", and then use the resistance soldiers to lives to test this new chemical weapon.

What's ridiculous is that Irelia thought she had intercepted Noxus' secret information, and ended up going into battle herself... This may have been beyond the expectations of the Noxians.

Riven was also deceived - she only thought her mission was to escort a warband through Navoli Province, when in fact the Noxian leaders planned to sacrifice her and use their team's lives to test chemical weapons - — Let them die together with the Ionian resistance.

And they don't know this.

Only Chen Ce, who is a time traveler, knows - the moment he saw that Riwen's sword was still intact, he understood everything.

According to the original timeline, Irelia sent an entire war group to intercept Riven's war group - with more numbers and more powerful power, the resistance quickly defeated this Noxian war group. The battle group was forced into a desperate situation.

Riven had no choice but to ask for help from her superior, Chapter Leader Amystan, but the only answer she got was a flaming arrow.

The flames on the arrows ignited the carriage, and also ignited the amphorae in the carriage... Chemical flames spurted out from the broken clay pots, and screams filled the night sky - Ionians and Noxans All the people died in bloody pain.

The person who fired the arrow was the Noxian crossbowman hiding in the canyon at this moment.

Chen Ce knew everything, so he spared no effort to kill the hiding crossbowmen in an attempt to prevent this tragedy from happening.

But he desperately found that the remaining crossbowmen could not be found anyway - they knew their mission very well, they hid, and they did not intend to fight him to the end.

Looking at Irelia again...she has been entangled by Riven, unable to escape or retreat directly.

At this moment, Chen Ce's inner uneasiness reached its peak, and the amphora placed in the carriage seemed to have released bursts of pungent smell.

He didn't know if those Noxians would detonate chemical weapons here - after all, what was coming to intercept them now was not an entire rebel group, but just two insignificant warriors.

But he still didn't dare to gamble.

Amystan's original intention of detonating the chemical weapons was not to use them to kill resistance fighters... It was just a test, an inhumane test of a new type of chemical weapon.

For this frantic leader, there is no big difference between testing his own people and testing his enemies... He can't wait any longer.

No...can't bet...

At least……

At least Irelia must be saved...

"Damn...!"

Chen Ce grabbed the spear and rushed down the canyon, pointing the sharp spearhead directly at the powerful Noxian female soldier - Riven.

clang--!

Dolan's spear stabbed the rune giant sword from the side, accurately changing the location of the giant sword's fall.

Before Riven could react after being attacked by a sneak attack, the spear pierced her face again.

Irelia's blade fragments also hit at the same time.

At the critical moment, she did not dare to attack rashly, so she could only rely on the rune energy in the giant sword to protect herself.

The blow was effective, but Chen Ce was not willing to fight and quickly took Irelia's hand and ran in the opposite direction. "This is a conspiracy...! Retreat first!"

Irelia, who was still unaware, was confused, but she didn't throw away the other party's hand - she believed Chen Ce.

The two ran to the other end of the canyon.

But just as they were about to rush out of the canyon and into the jungle, another Noxian team blocked their way.

Yes, from the other side of the canyon.

This was obviously not the same war group that was traveling with Riven.

"Now that you're here, don't leave." Above the canyon, a woman wearing a black military uniform and looking like an aristocrat stood up. "Hmm... I recognize your blade fragments and your miraculous sword-driving skills... Irelia, right?"

Irelia stared back at the woman, silent.

"To be honest, I only intended to use a battle group of your resistance army as a test target, but I didn't expect you to come." That noble woman - the top commander of the "Secret Team", Amy Stan , continued:

"But... this is better. After all, your life is much more valuable than a battle group."

"No matter how valuable something is, it's worthless if you can't get it." Irelia unfolded the blade fragments again, "It's like a secret treasure of nature, like every inch of land in Ionia...Things that have nothing to do with you are no longer valuable. It’s not worth as much as a copper in your pocket.”

"Do you think I can't kill you?"

"You can try."

"Haha, interesting..." Amystan let out a weird laugh, and at the same time turned to look at Riven who was chasing after her. "Riven, come up here, you're not needed now."

"What?" Riven was stunned at first, then became displeased. "With all due respect, Lord Amystan - no one here except me can deal with them."

"Well...what you said makes some sense." Amystan nodded, but there was a hint of deep disdain and teasing in her eyes.

She had already given it a chance.

It's just that some people don't care about their lives.

That's fine, anyway, the fewer people know about this, the better.

"Okay, Riven." She smiled, "You fight them in the front, and we will support you in the back."

"It should be so." Riven rushed forward excitedly.

This time, Chen Ce did not use a spear to fight against the female warrior who had not yet "awakened".

He turned around and hugged Irelia - he saw Amystan's slight downward waving gesture.

Irelia was shocked and confused by the sudden hug, and subconsciously wanted to push Chen Ce away.

But Chen Ce hugged her tightly.

"Don't move, trust me..."

The moment the words fell, a flaming arrow shot towards the carriage behind Riven.

The carriage began to burn, and Amystan above the canyon left without looking back.

The next moment, an extremely pungent smell filled the canyon...

Chapter 11 This is the Taiwan server treasure chest

Riven didn't understand why the flaming arrow hit the carriage, nor why General Amystan left suddenly.

But she still felt a little uneasy.

She remembered that there was something wrong with the expressions of the soldiers in the battle group when they came... She couldn't tell what caused it, she just felt a little uneasy.

She was puzzled.

Until she smelled the pungent smell - coming from the carriage.

To be precise, it was from the amphora in the carriage - those "new weapons" that Amistan said.

She saw the Ionian warrior hugging Irelia... She suddenly had a bad feeling.

And in the next moment, this premonition came true.

Boom-!

There was a violent explosion, and chemical flames mixed with a pungent smell spurted out from the broken clay pot.

Riven instinctively drew her sword, but it was too late. She was the only one she could protect.

The magic on the giant sword blocked her from the scorching poisonous mist, but it could not stop the spread of death - she watched helplessly as her companions fell one after another, wailing in the searing pain.

She was also thrown away by the terrible impact. The back of her head hit the sharp rocks on the edge of the canyon, and her vision was blurred for an instant.

At the last moment when she lost consciousness, she only saw the Ionian rebel—that young man about her age, still holding Irelia tightly.

His will may have transcended the fear of death...

--------------------------------------

Severe pain burned his back.

The deadly aura lingered around him, like the outstretched arms of the goddess of death.

Chen Ce once felt like he was going to die.

Fortunately, the magic shield given to him by Karma withstood most of the damage - it was also thanks to this magic shield that he was able to ignore the attacks of the crossbowmen and kill more than a dozen people in a short period of time in the canyon.

But... the magic shield's ability to absorb damage is not unlimited.

It is rapidly unraveling.

The chemical flames have gradually penetrated the cracked gap.

Unspeakable pain... pustules, blisters, rot, ulcers, stench...

At this time, Chen Ce almost fainted.

But he cannot fall.

Because Irelia under him does not have a magic shield as strong as him, once she is touched by the poison gas, she will soon be unable to hold on - just like those unlucky Noxian soldiers.

"Chen Ce...!" Irelia, who was being protected, finally realized the seriousness of the matter, and even her tone became trembling: "Run...you are protected by the spirit of Ionia. ...You can run out...! Don't...!"

"Then I have become a deserter..." Chen Ce grinned, and a few drops of dark blood slid down the corners of his mouth.

"Don't do it for me..." Irelia's pretty face turned pale, but it was not because she was hurt. "Leave me alone...run...run...!"

"It's...too late..."

The magic shield was almost completely shattered.

In just an instant, the terrifying chemical flames swallowed up Chen Ce's whole body, completely blocking every pore.

He started using [Meditation].

The emptiness of the "spiritual realm" made him forget the physical pain.

However... this couldn't keep him going for long.

The meditative state consumes a lot of magic power. With his current magic power reserve, he can only last for half a minute at most.

half a minute...

Still too short...

Chen Ce was almost desperate.

And at this moment, another irrelevant reminder sounded in his mind:

[Hero [Irelia] favorability +58, current interaction degree 99. 】

Is the favorability level almost full... Chen Ce felt bitter in his heart, which is really exciting... Unfortunately, he can no longer bear it...

[Hero [Irelia]'s interaction degree has exceeded 50, and she has received the first stage interaction reward. 】

[Reward: [Blue Treasure Box]*1]

[Do you want to open an existing treasure chest? 】

There was another beep.

But this time Chen Ce suddenly had hope of survival.

By the way, if you interact to a certain level, you can get a treasure chest...and no key is required...!

Open!

[The blue treasure chest was opened successfully. 】

[Obtain: Equipment [Tears of the Goddess (Full Level)]*1; Skill [Counterattack Storm (Full Level)]]

The moment the beep fell, a crescent-shaped dark blue pendant suddenly appeared on Chen Ce's chest.
