As Last Breath landed, Chen immediately swung the Black Cleaver in his hand, following an axe strike with Crippling Strike, taking half a step back, and then connecting with Decimate, instantly stacking five layers of Blood Rage!
At the same time, Conqueror was fully stacked, and Chen's attack power had already reached a very high level!
The black cleaver displayed immense power at this moment; axe after axe from the black cleaver struck the Basilisk's body, causing large sections of its armor and scales to fall off due to the passive cleaving ability provided by the Black Cleaver!
The Black Cleaver's cleaving was fully stacked, and under the powerful attacks of the Black Cleaver, about a third of the Basilisk's scales and armor had fallen off!
The Basilisk's impenetrable scales were scraped off by Chen, filling the Noxus soldiers' eyes with apprehension towards him!
Just then, an enraged Garen roared, swung Judgment, circled to the Basilisk's side, aimed at the part where Chen had knocked off its scales, and slashed his sword in!
Yet, even so, the Basilisk continued to charge forward. Garen's greatsword plunged deep, cutting through the Basilisk's flesh, and a gush of black blood erupted.
The Basilisk roared in pain, tilting to one side, and crashed to the ground with a clang!
"Damn it! The Greatsword stole my kill!"
Chen cursed under his breath, having his kill stolen by Garen.
As the Basilisk fell, the bugle sounded again, and the Noxus soldiers retreated.
At this moment, the commander of the Noxus soldiers, Vigrid, walked out. He stood alone in the middle of the Fearless Vanguard and the Noxus soldiers, shouting loudly:
"The man with the axe, come out and talk!"
The Fearless Vanguard did not use battle-axes, so he could only be referring to one person: Chen.
Garen shook his head at Chen:
"Don't go, be careful of a trap."
"It's fine, I'll go see what he wants. I'm not afraid."
But Chen was not afraid; these ordinary soldiers couldn't threaten him. That Basilisk might have been his biggest threat, and now the Fearless Vanguard was exhausted, with Dragonkin cavalry still on the way. Any time he could stall was good.
At this moment, Jinx walked up to Chen, tugging at his sleeve:
"I'll go too; I'll cover you."
Chen didn't refuse. If anything happened, Jinx's suppressive fire could give him a chance to buffer.
The two walked up to Vigrid:
"What do you want to talk about?"
Vigrid stared at the battle-axe in Chen's hand, asking with ill intent:
"Is that your Black Cleaver?"
Chen twirled the Black Cleaver in his hand, answering indifferently:
"What if it is, what if it isn't?"
Vigrid, observing the battle-axe up close, could confirm it was a Black Cleaver. He asked Chen:
"Not many weapons can cleave through Basilisk scales. This is definitely a Black Cleaver, and the Black Cleaver is the symbol of the Noxus Hand! How did it end up in your hands!"
At this moment, Jinx covered her stomach, unable to hold back a laugh:
"You might not believe it, but this guy leading troops against Noxus is the next Noxus Hand, hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!"
Chen somewhat regretted bringing Jinx along. He rested the Black Cleaver on his shoulder, looking arrogantly at Vigrid:
"I am the next Noxus Hand, what are you going to do about it?"
Vigrid didn't even doubt it, not only because of the Black Cleaver in Chen's hand, but also because of Chen's previous attacks. Decimate was the signature skill of the current Noxus Hand, Darius!
Vigrid stared at Chen, sighing with the sentiment of a hero appreciating another hero:
"If you hadn't joined Demacia, I would have wanted to fight alongside you. Now, I must represent Noxus and reclaim the Black Cleaver!"
He raised his weapon, a warhammer with a pointed spike at the end. He wanted to duel Chen!
Chen was not afraid, and it would also buy time. He immediately prepared to agree:
"Gladly..."
But before he could utter the words "accept the challenge," a missile flew out silently, blowing Vigrid's head off with a single shot.
Chen turned to see Jinx shouldering Fishbones, blowing smoke from its barrel, and patting her unremarkable chest, acting like a kid seeking praise:
"Phew, Chen, wasn't I great? You taught me to capture the king first! Am I not great!"
"..."
Chen was momentarily at a loss for words, but from a strategic perspective, it wasn't wrong. All's fair in war.
At this moment, the Noxus soldiers were stunned, and the Fearless Vanguard was also stunned. Weren't they supposed to talk?
The Noxus soldiers, having lost their overall commander, began to fall into disarray. They had consistently failed to defeat this force, which was a tenth smaller than their own, and they grew anxious.
But Vigrid's death did not cause the Noxus soldiers to retreat in the slightest; on the contrary, they charged forward like madmen, mindlessly!
Chen picked up Powder and carried her back into the Fearless Vanguard.
At this moment, the Noxus soldiers charged wildly, surrounding the Fearless Vanguard and continuously slashing and attacking.
The battle continued!
But,
As the first ray of dawn pierced the sky and fell upon the stone bridge, Chen looked up at the sky:
"It's dawn!"
Suddenly, a sharp shriek echoed above everyone's heads!
"It's the Dragonkin!"
Cheers erupted among the Fearless Vanguard squad!
At the same time, a small figure jumped down from a Dragonkin, standing alone in front of the Noxus soldiers!
She wore Demacian armor, but it was a smaller size, because her stature was extremely short, only half a person's height!
She had twin pigtails, resolute eyes, and wielded a holy hammer, whose length was twice her height!
Chen recognized this Yordle:
"Poppy!"
Not some late-night Poppy, nor cannon-form Poppy, nor garlic-head Poppy, but Poppy herself!
Poppy swung the giant holy hammer in her hand, single-handedly hammering every Noxian!
Despite her small stature, she stood like a giant mountain before the Noxus soldiers!
Each magnificent Dragonkin carried a Demacian knight, their shimmerscale armor gleaming. They folded their wings, aimed their lances, and dove into the enemy formation.
They tore through the enemy ranks, the Dragonkin ripping with their sharp beaks and claws, the knights swiftly thrusting with their silver lances. Some Dragonkin briefly landed, scattering enemies in their flight.
Their flexible, long necks struck out swiftly, like snakes emerging from their lairs. Then they ascended again, their powerful wings pushing back the Noxus soldiers, even enough to break limbs.
Among them, two Dragonkin remained in the sky; one carried Lux, and the other carried Fiora!
The addition of Poppy and the Dragonkin cavalry greatly reduced the pressure on the Fearless Vanguard.
Chen immediately stepped onto a hoverboard and flew to Lux's side:
"Your mana should be full again, right?"
Lux looked back at Chen, confused:
"What do you mean?"
"Your magic has recovered!"
Chen continued:
"I mean Ultimate Spark! Fire another shot!"
After hearing Chen's words, the Dragonkin knight in front of Lux was bewildered: "Magic?"
Lux looked at Chen with some hesitation:
"Wouldn't that be inappropriate...?"
Lux still had reservations. There were so many Demacian soldiers around, and her brother Garen. In full view of everyone, she would be violating Demacian law to use magic.
Chen righteously told Lux:
"Demacia wants magic to be normalized, regularized. You can't suppress your magic. You must prove that magic will not only harm Demacia but also save Demacia!"
"Right now, you only have one thing to do, and that is to repel the Noxus soldiers!"
Chen handed the lamppost in his hand to Lux:
"I know you don't have a staff, but a lamppost can also conduct magic. Make do with it!"
Lux looked down, seeing the scars on her brother's body, the blood-soaked ground, and the ferocious Noxus soldiers.
She finally made up her mind.
