Chapter 103 - Chapter 103: The Arriving Legion

Ixaocan wasn't famous in Runeterra. Even saying, the vast majority of people didn't know such a place existed.

But in fact, Ixaocan's history was extremely ancient, one of the rare ancient lands comparable to Ionia.

In the setting of Runeterra, there was an Eastern Continent on the other side of the planet, where the first humans were born. But because of an unknown disaster, people had to abandon the Eastern Continent and migrate westward to survive.

There was no need to care too much about the Eastern Continent; after all, it was just a part of the background story. And in fact, the map on the official website of the League of Legends universe wasn't comprehensive either. For example, the most remote place in the southeast corner of the official map was the Shadow Isles, giving the impression of being the edge of the world. But actually, continuing south from the Shadow Isles, not far beyond the map size of the official universe, was Camavor, Viego's homeland.

Regarding the Eastern Continent, according to Faen's guess, this should be a major plotline in a future chapter of the League of Legends MMORPG, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game like World of Warcraft. It was just that with the difficult birth of the project, heaven knew when it would truly debut.

And Ixaocan was a kingdom born during the period of the great westward migration. However, compared to Ionia being called the First Lands, Ixaocan hadn't been very famous in these past millennia.

But actually, all civilizations in the southern hemisphere of Runeterra, including the establishment of the ancient Shuriman Empire thousands of years ago that made kings of Valoran travel thousands of miles just to admire its glory, and including the birth of its first Ascended, all had traces of Ixaocan's interference. And Ixaocan was also a rare ally on an equal footing with the ancient Shuriman Empire—while apart from Ixaocan, the other countries on the Shuriman continent were all annexed by the ancient Shuriman Empire. Jax's homeland, Icathia, was tragically invaded for refusing to submit, and even the Mage King was hanged on the city wall.

Under these circumstances, when the ancient Shuriman Empire treated Ixaocan with courtesy during its peak period with hundreds of Ascended, one could see how mysterious and powerful this ancient kingdom that had been hidden for thousands of years was.

LeBlanc has set her sights on them?

Thinking this, Faen also curled his lips, seemingly finding that this foolish beauty had provoked an incredible opponent for him again...

While thinking, Faen also shook his head and said: "Ixaocan's protection is not as simple as you... or rather your main body imagines."

Hearing Faen's words, a bit of curiosity also appeared in LeBlanc's eyes. Because through Faen's words, she found her master seemed to know more things than she imagined? After all, regarding Ixaocan, even herself... perhaps even her main body knew very little.

Although many memories were implanted later, LeBlanc knew that the origin of her main body couldn't be faked. Because when making permanent illusions, the more real the things used, the more real the illusion created. Under these circumstances, especially regarding the memory part, any slight alteration could trigger a chain reaction, unbalancing the logic of the illusion and increasing the risk of self-consciousness awakening.

And according to her own memory, her main body was born in the late period of the ancient Shuriman Empire. At that time, Ixaocan had already been disconnected from ancient Shurima for a long time, and ancient Shurima itself had severe internal strife due to long-term wars and the risk of Void corruption. The main body didn't even have time to learn more news about Ixaocan before being drawn into an even greater conflict—the Twilight of the Gods.

And her master obviously knew something about this.

Thinking this, a sweet smile also emerged on LeBlanc's face. Unfortunately, because of her temperament, even a smile hanging on LeBlanc's face was like poison mixed in... not lethal, but enough to make people addicted.

As long as it could let her take revenge, LeBlanc didn't mind wagging her tail more enthusiastically.

And after briefly evaluating the situation of Ixaocan, Faen also said to Camille on the side: "You don't need to care about the Noxus matter. Just do as Stevan asked with peace of mind, and report any situations you think are necessary, especially news about the Noxian fleet. Determine exactly who the other party is and which legion they belong to."

Noxus's political form was relatively special. In the future, it would be the separation of three powers, but for now, Darkwill still monopolized power. Under these circumstances, Noxus implemented a provincial system internally. Each provincial governor, as Darkwill's spokesperson, carried out taxation and administrative management with many regional nobles. And the nobles of different regions also possessed immense autonomy and the right to establish armies.

This also led to the Noxian army being the largest military organization in the known world. Of course, this wasn't absolute. Because if understood carefully, one would find that Noxus's legions didn't have a unified organization and leadership.

Among the legions originating from different regions and nobles, there were both elite troops, such as the Trifarix Legion belonging exclusively to Emperor Darkwill, and hundreds of small warbands that only fought independently in their own regions.

Among these, each warband was led by its own leader, marshal, or captain, possessing its own unique culture, hierarchy, and combat preferences. And when encountering large-scale wars, these scattered warbands could be combined into larger-scale war groups under the emperor's order, and be responsible for specific on-site division of labor within them, possibly assigned as front-line assault teams, heavy infantry, scouts, assassins, or cavalry—as long as it fit their skills.

If the purpose of LeBlanc's main body was really Ixaocan, then according to Faen's guess, the legion about to arrive might not be the Medarda Legion that debuted in Arcane Season 2—in the plot of Arcane Season 2, Swain had already completed his coup d'état, uniting with the Hand of Noxus Darius in the name of making Noxus great again to implement the separation of three powers in the empire. And House Medarda, as the former old noble class, became the target of Swain's crackdown.

To increase the family's foundation, the Wolf Mother Ambessa went to Piltover, seeking more powerful strength and trump cards—and it proved afterwards that it was also just a plan of LeBlanc.

Hmm, and it failed, and made Mel notice the Black Rose, the enemy who killed her brother.

And now it hasn't reached the plot of Arcane Season 2 yet. Even Swain still took orders from Darkwill. Then the legion about to arrive in Piltover would be worth paying close attention to.
