Chapter 316: Kaiyin's Promotion
Kayn originally just wanted to sneak back to the military camp as a survivor and serve as a spy for the Shadow Cult's assassination plan.
But what he didn't expect was that after he came back and told his superiors about the matter, a short while later...
General Lester's adjutant found him.
The adjutant not only asked many questions to this young soldier of lowly status, but also taught him step by step how to "polish" what he saw and heard.
Then, after a while...
General Lester, and another man also wearing a general's armor, appeared in front of his minor character.
"This is General Urgot of the 13th Regiment." Lester introduced him with a grim expression, "General Urgot just arrived at Yipu River Port today, and he happened to be discussing something with me."
"He heard that you had encountered the enemy in the country, so he wanted to come and ask you some questions."
“General Urgot…” Kayn was a little stunned.
He didn't expect that it would be Lester and this Urgot who would interrogate him.
Two high-ranking chapter leaders actually came together to interrogate a young soldier who was no more lowly than he actually was?
Kayn became increasingly confused and alert.
"Kayn...right? I have something to ask you."
Kayn couldn't understand, but General Urgot seemed to value him very much.
Urgot took slow and heavy steps, slowly approaching the huge body as tall as a small mountain. When he was in front of him, he looked down at him with a terrifying attitude and asked:
"Little ghost, the 100-man team you were in encountered the coalition forces , right?"
“Yes.” Kayn nodded.
"Really? Let me ask you again, are you sure that among those who attacked you there are Wind Leaders, not just the Shadow Sect?"
Urgot's tone suddenly became more serious, and a fierce murderous aura suddenly burst out from his huge body.
But in Runeterra , the murderous aura of a warrior is more than just an artistic description.
The mysterious murderous aura often contains real mental power, which can almost be regarded as an invisible mental attack.
Legend has it that the barbarian warriors of the northern ice fields can even use murderous war cries to shock the enemy's spirit and affect the enemy's body, achieving the magical effect of reducing the attack power and movement speed of the enemies around them with just one cry.
Urgot is certainly not that powerful.
But as a glorious executioner with countless blood on his hands and a powerful Noxian warrior, his murderous aura is definitely not weak.
"This..." Lester thought to himself that this was not good.
He was worried that Kayn would be frightened by the murderous aura and would tell the truth in a panic.
Thinking of this, Lester glanced at the adjutant with a hint of resentment:
Kayn looks so naive.
He actually took the initiative to find a child who hasn't even fully grown his hair to be a witness. This might end up hurting more than gaining the advantage, and Urgot might even get hold of evidence against him!
Lester was thinking...
However, Kayn faced Urgot's murderous intent without changing his expression, and said calmly:
"General Urgot, I am certain of that."
"The enemy used shadow magic and wind magic. And when they asked me to come back and tell General Lester about my origins, they also introduced themselves as the Wind Leader and the Shadow Cult."
"This..." Urgot frowned.
Kayn's answers to his questions were consistent, but:
"No!" Urgot suddenly took off the huge executioner's axe from his back and smashed the axe handle at his feet with murderous intent. "You are a ten-year-old kid, and you didn't even change your expression when facing my murderous intent."
"Tell me - did someone train you in advance to lie about military intelligence?"
There was murderous intent in Urgot's voice, and the atmosphere was even more tense and suffocating than before.
Lester was secretly worried.
But unexpectedly, Kayn remained calm: "General Urgot. No one trained me."
"I'm just naturally brave and I don't feel scared no matter what."
"You..." Urgot frowned.
He knew this was possible. Many gifted warriors, because of their innate mental strength, may have a strong will to be fearless since childhood.
"Okay, since you said so, then..."
Urgot paused, and the giant axe in his hand suddenly swung through the air with lightning speed, cutting out an arc-shaped crescent.
In an instant, a cold light flashed, and the axe blade chopped towards Kayn's head.
Until the last moment, it barely stopped an inch above his forehead.
Kayn's body instinctively tensed up, but... he still didn't show the slightest fear.
"This..." Urgot's expression changed.
"Haha, I didn't expect that I have such a genius under my command. You have been staying in the Scout Camp, and you have been buried there." Lester breathed a sigh of relief and praised Kayn again and again.
“General Urgot.” He immediately regained the initiative and said sarcastically, “The bodies of more than 100 soldiers are still lying at the scene. If you still have doubts, go investigate on your own.”
"There's no need to scare my soldiers here - he's just a child, and he can't stand the murderous aura of a general."
"You..." Urgot's face flushed.
Of course he could tell that Lester was implying that his aura couldn't even scare a child.
But Noxus values strength above all else. He himself was embarrassed because of his lack of momentum, and there was no reason for him to get angry.
"Okay, General Lester. I already have a certain understanding of the situation here. I will report what I have seen and heard to the headquarters after completing the overall investigation."
There was nothing else that could .
At this point, Urgot can only believe Kayn's words for the time being and believe that the Windleader guerrillas are active in the Yipu River basin.
So he made up an excuse and left with an unhappy look on his face.
The only people left in the tent were General Lester, his trusted lieutenant, and Kayn.
"Good job, kid." General Lester patted Kayn's shoulder affectionately, and then asked, "What you said just now was flawless."
"Yeah." Kayn nodded.
"So, what is the truth?" Lester asked suddenly again.
"The truth is that we encountered the Shadow Cult, and then..." Kayn wanted to repeat the truth, but suddenly an idea came to him and he changed his words: "The truth is what I just said, we encountered a joint attack by the Wind Leader and the Shadow Cult."
"Very good." Lester looked satisfied.
This kid is smart and talented. As long as he is given the opportunity to grow, he will definitely become a powerful extraordinary warrior in the future.
Moreover, he knew the child soldier well and had a clean record. He personally recruited the child soldier from Noxus.
Now he has helped him to give false testimony in front of Urgot. He is an important insider who has done dirty work for him and knows some of his secrets.
There are only two ways to deal with this kind of people:
One is to kill the witnesses to eliminate future troubles.
The second is to recruit them and cultivate their loyalty.
Urgot is still watching him, so Lester certainly can't use the first method and let Kayn, an important witness, "shoot himself in the back" at such a critical moment.
Moreover, it would be a pity to kill such a good seedling .
Then, he had no choice but to use the second method.
"Kayn, you should stay by my side from now on and be my personal guard."
"If you are willing, I can also accept you as my student." Lester looked at Kayn kindly and said, "Then, are you willing?"
“This…” Kayn was slightly stunned.
He didn't expect that after coming back as an undercover agent, he could somehow become the personal guard of the regiment leader and the disciple of the general.
In the past, this would have been something he would never have dared to dream of.
So, is he going to be a student of this Lester?
Kayn thought about it.
He thought of the mission that Jie had assigned to him, the civilians who had died in Yipu River Port, and then looked at the people he was going to kill.
So he answered without hesitation:
"I do, General Lester."
"Hahaha." Lester was quite happy: "No, you should call me Teacher Lester."
