Chapter 324 Identity Exposed
Seeing this scene, Urgot's face turned green.
He realized he had made a big mistake.
He said that these Ionians had become "completely banditized", but he didn't expect that they were actually completely banditized!
These people already had faith in the goddess Janna, and with his "help" they gathered together in the thousands, forced to unite in the face of life and death. The scene was simply...
Everything is turned upside down!
Thousands of lines of faith all point to the sky.
Thousands of weak winds also gathered towards the sky.
Each of those wisps of air was weak and harmless, but when they gathered together, the whole world was shaking.
In an instant, everyone on the battlefield forgot about fighting.
Because they could see by looking up that the weather had changed.
Riven raised the greatsword in her hand high, and the storm gathered on her sword, condensing into a tornado vortex that was visible to the naked eye.
This tornado vortex was constantly absorbing the weak air currents coming from all directions, and finally it continued to condense and compress until it was almost as solid as iron...
It's like a miniature "black hole" surrounding Riven's sword.
Although it was small in size, the air within a radius of several thousand meters in all directions, above and below the ground, was swept and driven by this vortex...
On the battlefield, with this "vortex" as the center, a centripetal airflow with astonishing wind speed swirled up.
Ordinary soldiers could hardly stand steadily in this airflow, and even a powerful warrior like Urgot had his feet trembling.
The sea of clouds in the sky were swept away by the strong wind.
"Hurry, hurry... protect me! Protect me!" Urgot screamed in horror.
He gushed over precious life-saving magic potions as if they were free, while at the same time he berated the wizards to cast protective spells for him.
Even the few personal guards around him were frantically dragged in front of him and used as human shields.
But it was all in vain.
Riven swung her Storm Sword forward with all her might:
“Swift – Wind – Slash!”
This was the most powerful sword Riven had ever swung, because it was not just her who swung this sword, but also the tens of thousands of people.
This sword embodies the hatred and anger of tens of thousands of people, as well as the hopes and ideals of tens of thousands of people.
In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, and the strong wind poured out like a long river.
A large fan-shaped area in front of Riven, with a radius of perhaps thousands of meters, was instantly swallowed up by this terrible storm tide.
Urgot, his personal guards, the soldiers of Noxus...
Hundreds of enemies were swallowed up by the storm and disappeared without a trace.
People around could only see the howling wind and surging waves, and even the Yipu River not far away was caused by huge waves.
Finally, the storm subsided.
What appeared before everyone's eyes was a huge fan-shaped pit that looked like it had been plowed by a giant plow, and countless Noxian soldiers lying in the churning soil, their armor shattered by the storm.
"Huh..." Riven used up most of her divine power in one sword move and fell to the ground weakly.
She was now visibly exhausted.
But the surviving Noxian soldiers didn't dare to approach her, or even look at her.
They retreated unconsciously as they watched Riven, sword raised, walk towards their general.
Yes, Urgot is still alive at this time.
As a tank-type fighter, his half ton of flesh is not in vain.
Coupled with his expensive enchanted armor, magic potions, the shields and buffs of the mages, and the close protection of the warriors, he managed to barely save his life from that sword.
But he only barely managed to save his life.
Now Urgot is like a piece of rotten meat stuck in the mud, hanging on to his last breath and struggling to survive.
Riven slowly walked towards him, raised her greatsword high, and prepared to give him the final blow.
Urgot's eyes widened in dismay.
He stared at Riven's face, as if he wanted to remember the person who killed him, and come back for revenge after death and becoming a ghost.
Riven didn't hesitate at all, her sword was about to fall...
"Wait, wait!" Urgot struggled and shouted.
"Do you have any last words?" Riven frowned slightly, and gave Urgot some time to explain his last wishes out of courtesy.
"I..." But Urgot stared at her intently and said in disbelief: "I recognize you..."
"I remember now, I recognize your face!"
He had been engaged in a close combat, with Riven's broadsword swinging back and forth in front of him, and he had no chance to observe Riven's face carefully. Even if he felt that she looked familiar at first glance, he had no time to recall her carefully at this critical moment.
And now... people are dying, and Urgot has time to calm down and think.
“You, you are…” He shouted in shock and anger, “You are Amistan’s subordinate, the female warrior who was awarded the Blackstone Rune Giant Sword by His Majesty Darkwill at the awarding ceremony of the Immortal Fortress a few years ago?!”
Riven's status in Noxus is not very high, but because she is an excellent warrior model commended by the emperor himself, she is also well-known in the Imperial Army.
As the emperor's confidant, Urgot was in the Immortal Bastion at the time and witnessed in the crowd the scene where His Majesty Darkwill bestowed her with the Blackstone Rune Greatsword.
"I remember you, your name is..."
"Riven?!" Urgot used his last bit of strength to shout out her real name.
"I..." Riven suddenly fell silent.
The battlefield, which had already died down, became even quieter.
"W-what?" The imperial soldiers were confused first.
This female warrior who made them piss their shit out of their ass was actually one of their own?
Or even a warrior who was once favored by His Majesty Darkwill?
"Huh?" Master Yi and other Wuji swordsmen were also a little confused.
They didn't expect that Riven, who had been leading them to help the Ionian refugees with all her heart for the past 20 days, would actually be a Noxian, and a Noxian soldier at that.
"This..." Jie was also a little surprised. But he thought about it silently, and then accepted the news calmly.
Also silent were Fia and the leaders.
Everyone's eyes were now focused on Riven.
Riven felt embarrassed.
She paused for a moment, then finally said, "Yes, my real name is Riven. I am... a Noxian."
The air became increasingly silent and a little weird.
“Hahahaha.” The half-dead Urgot laughed out loud at this time: “You Ionians are following a Noxian soldier?”
"..." Riven became increasingly embarrassed and uneasy. She instinctively didn't want to face her past.
Thus, the only sound on the battlefield was Urgot’s arrogant laughter, “Hahahaha…”
"Is it funny?" A firm voice sounded quietly beside Riven.
That was Fia. She had already walked slowly to Riven's side without her noticing.
Not only her, all the leaders came.
They still stood firmly on Riven's side, their expressions not even wavering in the slightest.
"Everyone..." Riven was struggling and was about to explain.
But Fia said, "President Orianna... No, President Riven, so what if you are from Noxus?"
"You're the one who told us that leaders only look at beliefs, not background."
"What unites us is not blood, gender, race or nationality, but a common ideal and a voice of comradeship."
"I don't care where you are from. You are the leader, the one who saved thousands of lives and led us onto the right path, right?"
As she spoke, Feiya spread out her hands, showing her thread of faith.
The same is true for leaders.
"I..." Suddenly, Riven was relieved.
She also showed her faith thread.
It was a bright, brilliant thread.
"President." The leaders all called her sincerely.
Those villagers who were watching and were somewhat shocked earlier, now accepted the news very naturally.
Yes, so what if she was from Noxus? Wasn't it this person who had just fought desperately to save them and saved tens of thousands of lives from the Empire?
Riven was totally overthinking it.
People were more accepting of her true identity than she had imagined, even though she was once an officer of Noxus.
After all, there is the example of Kayn in the recent past and the example of Mel in the distant past.
Even among the top leaders, there are many Noxians.
A true leader will not question his comrades just because of the "Noxian" identity label.
“You, you guys…” Urgot seemed very unwilling to see the unity of the leaders. “You Ionian barbarians, after all the trouble you’ve been making, in the end you still have to accept the rule of us Noxians? Hahahaha…”
He laughed loudly with the last of his strength.
However……
These Ionian leaders, however, were completely immune to the ethnic hatred card he played.
Especially Feiya. Not only was she not provoked at all, but she said sarcastically:
"Fatty, you still have the nerve to say that? Even the warriors personally commended by the Emperor of Noxus have now become leaders—"
"Shouldn't you reflect on whether this is your own problem?"
"You?!" Urgot was choked.
This choke...
I couldn't catch my breath...
"Ugh—" Urgot's head tilted and he choked to death.
