Early the next morning, Rhodes woke up early.

Today in Besilico it is sunny and cloudless.

Rod was refreshed - although he promised Jana to put the finishing touches on it, and for the next period of time he had to wipe his ass for the previous unscrupulous actions, but at least he was compensated, didn't he?

Not to mention...... After the dust settled, Rhodes did feel a little uncomfortable.

In any case, Noxus paid the price of blood for this incident, and all this was not a sacrifice for his own benefit like the Zaun Revolution.

Admittedly, the information that identified the Burning Legion was more significant than anything else, but the soldiers who were unaware of it, and were sacrificed and consumed as a result...... After all, Rhodes couldn't ignore it.

Rhodes is not a god like Qianjue, and he can't ignore life and death without emotion.

So, as compensation...... Rod felt he should do something for Noxus.

The favors owed to LeBlanc have been paid off, and now that Svein is a reliable leader, Rod simply does not get involved in the chaotic political situation.

Maybe...... What can I do for the civilians of Noxus?

In that case, at least the families of those who died will be able to profit from it, right?

Like what...... Lowering tariffs on Zaun and Piltover, opening up certain embargoes?

After a little thought, Rod directly dismissed this stupid idea.

If you do this, the only result will be to speed up the pace of Noxus's invasion of Shurima, and it is not possible that among the soldiers who land in Shurima, there will be a special Hex mecha unit.

That's right, Rhodes is 100% sure that as long as he releases the embargo, Noxus will import a large number of Hexes products in minutes, and then turn them into war machines.

Since it seems difficult to move from the Twin Cities side, what about the Bilgewater side?

Like what...... Issuing a ban on the plunder of Noxus and not to plunder the fleet of Noxus?

Well, after thinking about it carefully, Rhodes suddenly realized that there were not many merchant ships in Noxus in the first place, and there were almost no caravans in Noxus in the Sea of Conquest and the Sea of Watch!

In this way, Rod came up with a lot of solutions, but he denied himself one by one.

Rod felt like his head was two laps bigger.

Well, Rhodes wasn't really good at doing these things - when he was in Azeroth, every time he made a big story, Lothar put the finishing touches on it.

Now without Lothar to help finish up, Rhodes has to clean up his own mess.

However, just as Rhodes was thinking about various means of compensation, the sky outside the window suddenly darkened.

At first, Rhodes just thought it was overcast and didn't care, but as the sky got darker and darker, Rhodes finally noticed that something was wrong.

Pushing open the window, Rhodes saw the eclipse.

This was the first time in Rhodes' three lifetimes that he had seen a solar eclipse - the originally hot and bright sun was now completely shrouded in shadows, and more importantly, this shadow did not mean to leave the sun for a long time, and even had a tendency to grow larger.

Raising his head and looking at the huge shadows in the sky, Rod frowned slightly.

I always feel that something is not right......

Rhodes had never studied Valoran's astronomy, so it is unclear whether Valoran's solar eclipses were also due to the obstruction of light.

But remembering the Sun Divine Envoy before, Rhodes always felt that such a thing as a solar eclipse was in Valoran...... It won't be that simple!

If Rod was just confused, then the civilians of Besiliko were terrified.

Solar eclipses are a natural source of fear, and this fear of shadows and darkness is innate and irrepressible.

In addition, due to the rebellion, Besilico is still in a depression - at such times, a solar eclipse is enough to cause a nervous breakdown of the Besilico people.

A lot of people took to the streets and started yelling like crazy, they didn't know what they were afraid of, they didn't know why they were doing it – they were just following their instincts and venting their inner rage.

Rod's brow furrowed even tighter.

Although Besilko was now under military control, and this act of wandering around the streets could be killed, when the army appeared, the crazy people not only did not restrain in the slightest, but became more and more arrogant.

These unarmed guys are even starting to storm the Noxian garrison!

The soldiers of Noxus have never been easy to get along with - their military creed is only to obey orders, and there is never any "for the civilian service" content, and seeing that the warning is ineffective, they immediately use the weapons in their hands

Bloodshed erupted – or rather, it was a massacre.

A large number of Besiliko frantically pounded the garrison's formation, and then fell under the butcher's knife like a wheat harvest, and the Noxian soldiers expertly advanced in formation, holding their irises against the frenzied thugs, and then piercing them with spears through the gaps in the iris' shields.

Rivers of blood.

Jana stood behind Rhodes, her eyes widening in disbelief.

Obviously, she didn't understand how such a thing could happen.

This group of people...... Are they all crazy?

Seeing that more and more people were falling, Jana finally summoned a fresh wind and tried to separate the two sides.

Some were awake by the breeze—but they were still caught in the midst of the frenzied ones, the ghosts of the spears.

Faced with this situation, Cana finally flew into the air.

A warm breeze blew by, and a thin, gritty barrier held back both sides of the conflict.

While the frenzied civilians awoke, Noxus' army stopped moving.

However, just as Jana breathed a sigh of relief, the sky suddenly turned red.

Rhodes looked up again, only to find that the eclipse was over at some point—the red of the sky was the red glow of the sunset.

Wait, sunset?!

It's still morning!

Just when Rod was stunned, the sun was setting.

Then a moon crept into the sky.

Unlike the bright moon of the past, this time the moon is ...... Red madman.

It's a red that looks like it's about to drip blood.

Under the blood moon, everything is red.

————————

Although it is called the finishing touches, in fact the official content of this volume has only just begun.

The so-called [Scarlet Empire] refers not only to Noxus, but also to the entire Valoran under this blood moon.

And Rod's previous actions towards Noxus have become his own experience after that - at this time, Rod's fate is finally completely entangled with Valoran.

In addition, in the League of Legends universe, the north background of the knife girl has been updated.

Interestingly, her background mentions that there is a lot of conflict between conservatives and radicals in Ionia at the moment.

And the author mentioned it when he opened the book, hahaha!

I am the Iron Prophet!
