People in the League, Masters of Time Management

"Yes, you have the right to hang me a hundred times...but alas, you won't see any of them."

For a split second—or at least it seemed to Mallory for a split second—the cripple grabbed him by the throat with an inhuman grip and raised one hand.

He didn't have any room to resist or even react, his brain became blurred, only the wailing of the carrion ravens echoed in his ears.

He'd heard it before...by the sea, and on boats.It is at night time.

Once he only had hatred for them, but now, he has a new emotion - fear.

"The birth of scheming requires sacrifices, sorry." Swain stretched out his other hand and raised Mallory's epee, "but don't worry, the empire will always remember you."

Mallory wanted to scream, to beg, to give everything he had in exchange for his life.But he couldn't make a sound at all.

He could only watch helplessly as the epee that had accompanied him to make great achievements in battle penetrated bit by bit until it pierced through the liver, lungs, and bones, and then pierced out from the other end of the body.

His clothes were instantly stained red, and more and more blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, covering the entire table.

"Farewell, General."

Swain gently placed the corpse on the table, and then closed his eyelids with his hands.

After finishing all this, he slowly walked around the table, sat on the gold-studded chair, and cast his eyes on the only window in the entire room.

"Come in and talk, both of you."

There was a rustling sound outside the window.

Immediately afterwards, two figures entered through the window, and the long swords in their hands gleamed dangerously cold.

"Congratulations on making it this far." Swain whispered, "It's been hard work, sit down and have a cup of tea and rest."

The gray-robed captain frowned, looking at Mallory's body vigilantly, feeling very confused.

Why... are the Noxians killing each other?

"Are you surprised?"

Swain finally broke into a smile, graceful and deadly.

"I solved a little trouble for you, now it's your turn to help me..."

"Huh?!" The gray-robed captain hastily set up his long sword, ready to deal with the attack of the terrifying cripple in front of him at any time.

But Swain didn't move.

What moved was his most trusted teammate, Corey.

A long sword engraved with the imprint of the first soil pierced his chest.

"Mission accomplished, sir."

Grey-robed swordsman Corey pulled out his bloody long sword, and then saluted Swain as a soldier.

Chapter 11 Outburst Syndra

Syndra was in a daze again.

This time her object of observation was a sea tide bug.

The girl stared at the worm, and the worm stared at her lying on the mossy wooden plank. Beside him were a group of solemn assassins holding long swords. The whole scene revealed a strange atmosphere.

"Although I don't want to disturb your interest...but I think it's better to be serious now."

Mubai poked the girl helplessly, reminding her to pay attention to her surroundings, so as not to be overwhelmed by the time.

"Yeah." Syndra nodded slightly, never taking her eyes off the bug, "I'm watching it very seriously."

"I mean...forget it, you see."

Mu Bai smiled wryly, and moved half a body towards the girl.

Time passed by, and the carnival inside the cabin continued. Every sound of wine glasses colliding and soldiers shouting cheers would affect the fragile nerves of the rebels.

The night crow's cry is mixed in, sharp and small, imperceptible and real.

Mubai turned half of his body to block Syndra while sticking his head out of the cover, and quickly glanced at the room not far away.

Still no movement.

Those two people have been in for several minutes, no matter whether the assassination is successful or not, they should come out...

Just when Mu Bai was hesitating whether to sneak over to check the situation, the system prompt sounded suddenly:

[Task [Resistance, Justice and Victory] Completed]

[Skill [Omen of Stealing] CD has been cleared; next time [Omen of Stealing] successfully steals the skill, the probability increases to 100%]

Ok?Mission accomplished?

That proves that Mallory has been killed... But why haven't those two come out yet?

"Come out!" Okun's excited words dispelled Mu Bai's doubts.

The candlelight in the room flickered on and off, and a slightly thin figure walked out of it, the gray robe and long sword were stained a lot of bright red.

"Where's the captain?" A gray-robed swordsman hurriedly asked, "Why are you the only one coming back? Was the assassination successful?"

Corey looked at him, smiling but not answering.

Or rather, he answered the question in another way - by swinging a sword.

Under everyone's amazed gaze, the gray-robed swordsman who asked the question fell heavily to the ground clutching his neck.The dull impact sounded like an order, and Corey immediately turned his sword and stabbed at the nearest rebel.

Okun rolled quickly, narrowly dodging the attack, but his arm was still cut a lot.

Corey, however, refused to let go, and continued to swing his sword, trying to kill these "friends" who were talking and laughing half an hour ago.

Fortunately, another sharp long knife stopped him.

"How come there are dogs everywhere... people like you are really disgusting."

Mubai exerted a slight force on his wrist, and the windy Lanqie instantly cut off Corey's long sword. The sharp sword wind continued to cut through the tendon of his right wrist.

Other gray-robed swordsmen and rebels immediately stepped forward to suppress him.

But Corey didn't show too much panic. He raised his head and yelled loudly before everyone could react:

"Assassins! Ionian assassins! Come—"

He was gagged halfway through shouting, but the shouting just now was enough to attract the attention of the sentinel.Almost at the moment when the voice fell, there was a burst of intensive footsteps not far away.

"Damn it, retreat quickly! Retreat!" The gray-robed swordsman Bolton, second only to the captain, immediately assumed the command responsibility, and quickly ordered everyone to jump into the sea to escape.

"Don't look, it's time to go." Mu Bai patted Syndra, signaling her to run away.

"Oh." The girl nodded, and directly grabbed the sea tide bugs on the ground and stuffed them into Mubai's cloth bag.

Ok?There is something soft and slippery in the bag...it feels like my socks...

"You are really leisurely..."

The corners of Mubai's eyes twitched, he grabbed the girl's hand and was about to jump into the sea.

But at this moment, countless ravens suddenly rushed from all directions, frantically pecking at the rebels who wanted to jump into the sea.

Under the suicide attack of the raven group, everyone was forced back to the deck.

"After killing General Mallory, do you still want to go away?"

A middle-aged man in heavy armor and a coat came out of Mallory's room, surrounded by several ravens, their shrill and miserable cries were chilling.

All the rebels stared at him angrily, and instantly understood everything.

Hit!

"Aren't we leaving?" Syndra blinked suspiciously, "Why aren't we leaving again?"

"..." Mu Bai looked at her helplessly, not knowing how to explain for a moment.

This girl didn't take what happened tonight at all...

"It's a bit complicated, so I won't tell you." He gently touched the girl's head, "I'll explain it to you when I get back."

"Oh." Syndra nodded obediently, her eyes gradually blurred - she was about to start to lose her mind again.

While the two were talking, countless Noxus soldiers surrounded them, each fully armed and looking fierce.Mallory's deputy stepped forward to chat with Swain, and a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face.

"The mob has killed our honorable General Mallory!" shouted the second-in-command. "Arrest them! Immediate death for the rebels!"

"Yes!"

Nearly a hundred Noxus soldiers launched an attack at the same time, and the dozen or so members of the rebel army immediately fell into a hard fight, and even the traitor ran away while taking advantage of the chaos.

"Run!" Okun drew out his dagger, and yelled at Mubai while responding to the enemy, "I killed you...Run! I'll hold you back!"

"Hey, I'm embarrassed to run away when you say that."

Mubai shook his head with a wry smile, and with a flick of the long knife in his hand, several Noxus soldiers were wounded in the blink of an eye.

"Follow me closely, don't die, you haven't paid me the money yet."

"Ah... yes!" Okun nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with gratitude.At this moment, Mu Bai is more magnificent in his eyes than that illusory god.

Syndra watched the two singing together, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Why do you say it so... tragically?

Is it hard to get out of here?

She scanned the crowd with an indifferent look, and saw the ferocious Noxus soldiers, as well as the struggling rebels.There is also Mubai who easily shuttles through the crowd like a ghost.

Immediately afterwards, she took a deep breath, her body gradually rose into the midair, and several dark spheres suddenly appeared and revolved around her.

The weak retreat!

With a terrifying air shock, all the darkest spheres flew out, and the terrifying magic power repelled dozens of people in an instant.

Even Swain, who was watching the play nearby, was knocked down by this force and fell into the sea.

It was just a matter of breathing, and the crowded deck became a no-man's land, only a few members of the rebels sat on the ground dumbfounded.

"Hmm... [-]% of the magic power is still a bit weak."

Syndra twisted her neck, and with a flick of her finger, Mu Bai floated to her side under the control of her magic power.

"Okay, let's go back."

Chapter 12 The Sword Demon Sees It and Calls It an Expert

Swain could clearly feel his body sinking.

The wailing of the ravens continued, they were mocking him, mocking him.

Blood stained the heavy armor and coat red, and the smelly and corrupt seawater poured in from the nostrils, deeply stinging every alveolus.

Through the eyes of the ravens, Swain saw something that should not belong in Runeterra—the secret buried deep in the Immortal Bastion, the demon eye that burned in the darkness.

It shouldn't have been exposed here... He thought, originally this was just a simple game of replacement and taking time out, but now it has developed into an unpredictable situation...

What a hassle.

The sea water began to surge, and the school of fish, who had had wild thoughts at first, fled in panic, and an extremely evil energy erupted from Swain's body.

The blood-like magic power spread rapidly, enveloping the entire battleship in an instant.

"Sure enough, Swain is not that easy to deal with..." Mu Bai stared at the rough sea, feeling a little uneasy.

The first time the old commander disclosed his power should be a rebellion a year later, but it is hard to say when he actually obtained the power of the devil...

Judging from this posture, even if he has not fully controlled the power of demons now, I am afraid it will not be too far behind.

Pretty scary, at least in terms of sheer power.

If it was Syndra in his heyday, the blow just now might have severely damaged or even killed him, but if it was less than [-]% of the magic power... it is very dangerous.

"Huh? Didn't die?" Syndra also noticed the strangeness in the sea water. "It seems that the lives of Noxians are harder than those of Ionians."

"Don't be careless, this guy... is very strong."

Mu Bai gestured towards the girl, and the magic power on his body was released immediately, and the two jumped back to the deck of the Scarlet Huntress at the same time.

Seeing this, a group of members of the rebel army rushed over immediately, their previous indifference and disdain turned into enthusiasm.

But Mu Bai didn't have time to listen to their useless polite words, "Spread out! Don't get together, run as far as you can!"
