After determining the direction of action, Rorschach took a good sleep in the turtle shell, and then headed towards the destination with Lulu.

It is very smooth to go north on the ridge. There are almost no people here. There are only trees and flowers. There are trees, flowers and grass. This is the best thing for Luo Xia. After all, he is the Qing Emperor, the boss of the plants, so he wants to inquire about something. It's easy.

Avoiding some unnecessary troubles along the way, Rorschach spent two days and finally arrived at Corixe City.

The flames of war have never reached Noxus itself, so the security here is relatively loose. On the road leading to the city, there is a gate made of black stone. This is the famous Noxtra. In the Si language, Noxtra means the gate to Noxus.

Whether a city is violently captured by Noxus or voluntarily pledges allegiance to Noxus, its war masons immediately stamp the newly conquered territory with the Imperial stamp. Every road leading into the city is erected with a gate made of black stone dug from the mountains surrounding the capital. As Noxtorra spreads across Valoran, these towering structures make it clear to travelers who is truly in charge.

After passing through Noxtorra, you will reach the city gate of Corixe.

There were many pedestrians on the road, and there were also many vendors driving horse-drawn carriages to transport goods in and out of the city.

Rorschach's southern entrance to Noxus should allow him unimpeded access here. When the city guards heard Rorschach say"travel," they let Rorschach directly into the city.

When Rorschach walked far away, he heard the guard smiling and saying to his companions:"He is a country bumpkin from the south and a bard, which is also strange."

Rorschach shook his head slightly and smiled. In the eyes, southerners have almost no sense of existence. Apart from farming and fishing for the empire, they can't do anything else. After all, the capital is in the north, and most of the elite nobles of all classes are northerners. Even the soldiers in the army are from the north. Most of them are northerners

"The confrontation between the north and the south seems to be an inciting point," Rorschach muttered thoughtfully and entered the city directly.

Corixa is a trading city, so the layout is different from that of the military city. The roads here are very busy. It is wide, with shops on both sides of the road, and it is very prosperous.

Because it mainly exports some ironware or weapons of poor quality, the most popular in the city are blacksmith shops, and you can always hear the sound of ping ping ping ping pong of forging iron. I passed by several blacksmiths. Shop, Rorschach could always see tall tauren blacksmiths swinging hammers in shackles. Their expressions were numb, with no happiness, no sadness, and no hope.

Rorschach shook his head and sighed, a race If you are enslaved for too long, you will definitely become like this.

What Noxus did is really outrageous. Many of the tauren tribe living in the grand barrier were killed, and all the living ones were enslaved.

Rorschach probably After walking around the city and briefly understanding the city's defense capabilities and operations, I sat on the second floor of a hotel and began to figure out how to get all the tauren blacksmiths back.

Just in Rorschach While I was thinking hard, the city gate was knocked away. The two guards were thrown up by the powerful impact, hit the tree hard, and passed out.

Suddenly the alarm bell rang loudly, and the guards on the city wall kept knocking. Ringing the warning bell, shouting enemy attack, enemy attack

"Heirs of Hathor, the drums of liberation have been beating, and it is time to return to the homeland of the magnificent barrier." From the smoke and dust, a strong tauren rushed in, calling loudly on the street, and shouted continuously Three times, but those numb tauren blacksmiths just stopped the hammers in their hands, but did not make any move

""Heirs of Hathor, please follow me, Alistar, back to our homeland," the tauren continued to call.

Hearing this name, Rorschach became uneasy, stood up and muttered:"It's actually Alis. tower!"

This name is in Rorschach's memory. It was a brave warrior, and Rorschach knew his deeds clearly, because Riven's team also received orders to kill this tauren warrior.

Later Ionia Due to the tension of the war, they were transferred to Ionia, and this did not happen.

As the most powerful warrior in the history of the Great Barrier Tauren, Alistar protected his tribe from harm from Valoran. , and has also been guarding the overland trade routes to Zaun. Because of this, the noble warrior Alistar is respected by all clans. He stands on the top of the mountain, and a roar is enough to scare away the most daring trespassers. , only the foolish and reckless would fight him.

Even so, in the debating halls, he would always plead with his brethren to forge deeper bonds with other mortal races. Many considered the tauren to be almost beastly, and therefore detested them. and treated them as aliens.

Then Noxus came, bringing good promises. Their envoy, the matriarch of House Twain, announced that the Empire planned to conquer the eastern port city of Besilico, and was determined to win it.. However, she also promised that their plan of occupation would first require the support of the great clans in this mountain range and proposed negotiations on neutral ground.

Many tauren were eager to accept her invitation. They would be able to obtain what they had been seeking. power and recognition, simply by joining Noxus.

But Alistar remained skeptical - he had encountered many Noxian scouts in recent years and knew that they were a duplicitous bunch. Therefore, his clan sent him and Fifty of the other greatest warriors met with Twain, rejecting any form of alliance. The other clans could decide where they stood, but Alistar would never accept the rule of some faraway"overlord."

After a truce Under the banner of , he and his compatriots were betrayed.

Several large tribes had already pledged their allegiance to Noxus. As soon as Alistar took a stand, he was attacked by representatives from other clans. The battle was fierce and bloody. , Alistar crushed Lady Twain's head with his bare hands. But not long after, he and the remaining surviving warriors were tied in chains and taken to the distant Noxian capital, charged with sedition.

These unfortunate tauren were thrown into the capital's Reckoning Arena and became part of a brutal gladiatorial celebration - the Meat Grinder Tournament.

Alistar was horrified by the bloodthirsty cries of the audience. He pleaded with his kindred. Don't fight back, don't let these Noxians get what they want.

When the celebration ended twenty-one days later, Alistar was the only survivor of his clan. The crowd pelted him with rocks. Blocks and rotten fruit, iron chains pulled him out to face one liquidator after another. He was driven into the arena like a beast - and he also began to think like a beast. He kept killing until the memory of his hometown All were soaked in blood.

Just when Alistar had fallen into the abyss, he met Arya, a maid in the arena. At first, he roared and rushed against the iron bars of the cage, thinking that she would be afraid, or like The others had beaten him with sticks, but Arya's response was unexpected.

She returned to him every day, speaking to him in a gentle and respectful tone, until Alistar finally spoke calmly. Arya's hometown was also occupied by Noxus, and after witnessing his suffering, she convinced herself that they should leave this hateful city together. She whispered her plan through the bars, and for the first time in years, Alistar realized that she could finally let go of the grief of having her home taken away from her when she recalled it.

One night, Arya brought the key to Alistar's cage. She made many sacrifices to arrange this escape, and he vowed to repay this kindness tenfold.

They raced toward the river, where a barge was waiting for them. However, as they boarded the ship, a group of Noxian agents burst out of the shadows. Alistar charged headlong into the fight, his vision narrowed with rage, and though Arya called to him over and over, he didn't hear her.

By the time Alistar had killed all the attackers, the ship was gone—and so was Arya. So he fled south on foot. He searched everywhere for the maid, but in vain. Was she caught? Killed? Looks clueless.

Weeks later, a coup shook the Empire to its dark foundations, and the Arena Tauren's escape was quickly forgotten.

But the empire's top leaders still remember the bloodthirsty tauren chief, and they have been tracking Alistar. The Scarlet Elite Team also knows a lot of information about Alistar.

Alistar is an elusive figure who often appears in Noxian-occupied areas, inspiring resistance and fighting on behalf of the suffering. And before the imperial army purges him, he leaves with the people who follow him, and whenever he passes through a city, he will inquire about Arya.

But what he didn't know was that after Arya was captured by Noxus, the blood mage extracted her soul, read her memories, and executed the poor woman.
