Amidst the Soulless, a battle cry erupted, and countless Soulless were sent flying. A man wielding a long spear executed a Crescent Sweep, single-handedly carving a path through the Soulless forces!

Xin Zhao, whose hair had whitened considerably, was as formidable as ever. His long spear struck repeatedly, dispatching every enemy in his path.

Finally, Xin Zhao pushed off with his feet, using his waist as an axis to propel his entire body, swinging his long spear in a powerful, explosive sweep around himself.

This Crescent Sweep repelled all surrounding enemies, clearing a wide space. Xin Zhao finally appeared before Jarvan IV. Seeing Jarvan unhard, he breathed a sigh of relief and clasped his hands, saying:

"Your old servant is late to your aid!"

Behind Xin Zhao, Chen and the others had also followed, taking advantage of Xin Zhao's powerful charge to reach Jarvan's vicinity.

Chen watched Xin Zhao intently, feeling a strong sense of déjà vu. He inexplicably recalled Zhao Yun, who rode alone for a thousand li, entering and exiting Changban Slope seven tis to rescue A Dou!

Though Jarvan was certainly not A Dou.

Jarvan nodded at Xin Zhao, then imdiately commanded:

"Xin Zhao, kill!"

"Yes!"

Xin Zhao was the first to charge back into the enemy lines. To Xin Zhao, these ordinary Soulless were rely one corpse after another. His solo assault made it impossible for the entire Soulless force to defend against him.

Jarvan exchanged a glance with Chen, nodded, and then, along with Shyvana, followed suit. Fiora, seeing this, also unhesitatingly joined them. They fearlessly plunged into the Soulless forces, breaking through the lines with Xin Zhao.

Under Chen's system buffs, Xin Zhao and Jarvan now ford the Two Shieldguards bond, while Fiora and Xin Zhao ford the Two Duelists bond.

2 Duelists: Duelists gain 12% attack speed after each basic attack, stacking up to eight tis.

2 Shieldguards: Shieldguards gain a shield equal to 15% of their maximum health for 4 seconds whenever they cast a spell. This shield does not stack.

Chen watched Xin Zhao fight with increasing ferocity, his long spear swinging faster and faster. Audacious Charge and Three Talon Strike tore through the crowd!

At the sa ti, a faint shield appeared around him, absorbing damage from enemies.

Good heavens, high damage and tanky! These minions couldn't even scratch Xin Zhao, and the nearby Jarvan's Demacian Standard also granted him and his allies a significant attack speed boost.

Only Chen didn't fully charge forward. His lamppost had just been destroyed by guided fire, so he now stood beside Jinx and Lux, holding his black cleaver.

He rcilessly complained:

"These reckless warriors, all they know is to charge, charge, charge! Don't they care about the backline? I have to protect it."

Lux didn't understand. With her magic almost depleted, she could only obediently stay behind Chen. She asked softly:

"Teacher, what does 'backline' an?"

Chen was silenced by Lux, unsure how to answer for a mont.

Jinx, however, was delighted to see so many enemies. She happily threw fla chompers!s and then maniacally sprayed with Pow-Pow:

"Hahahaha~~~~~~~~"

Not far away, on a rooftop, Tianna held a stack of docunts. After repeatedly confirming their contents, her eyes narrowed slightly:

"Jarvan has always played humble in front of everyone. I didn't expect him to hide so much, and to have so many plans!"

Then she picked up another stack of docunts and read them several tis:

"Delegating power to the Soul Hunter Corps was correct. Eldred truly didn't disappoint ."

She then picked up a telescope and watched the battle in the distance, muttering to herself:

"Xin Zhao, I thought you had retired after the forr emperor's death. I didn't expect you to still follow Jarvan IV."

"The Laurent Family has also made its stance clear, and the Crownguard Family goes without saying."

"In this situation, I also didn't expect these two Zaunites to side with Jarvan IV."

"It's ti for to act."

Then she leaped from the rooftop, landing in front of a Demacian army commander:

"Demacian army, attention! All troops, advance on my command!"

They had fought for several minutes, these seven individuals, against an army of hundreds, even thousands, without faltering!

Even they didn't realize that the piled bodies almost amounted to an entire Soul Hunter Corps!

Perhaps this was the difference between heroes and minions! After all, in a single League of Legends ga, ten heroes typically kill over a thousand minions!

Although they were heroes, their stamina consumption never ceased. Against an endless stream of enemies, even strong as they were, they still found it increasingly difficult to resist.

Chen was ready to use his hoverboard to take Powder and leave at any mont, but he believed they could win this ti, because in the Demacian storyline, Jarvan supposedly wouldn't lose!

Just as they grew more and more exhausted, almost reaching their breaking point.

Outside their encirclent, a shocking shout rang out:

"For Demacia!"

Followed by the sounds of fighting, the sounds of battle!

Jarvan finally caught his breath:

"Garen, Quinn, they're back! We finally waited for them!"

...

Xin Zhao pulled his long spear from an enemy's body, turned to Jarvan, and smiled with relief:

"Your Majesty, I held the line this ti."

Then Xin Zhao collapsed, falling into a pile of corpses. Jarvan rushed over to support Xin Zhao:

"Uncle! No! You promised to witness Demacia's future with , no!"

Lux, who had been sowhat slacking, also hurried over. She had so dical knowledge, and her light magic could also save people in critical monts. Her depleted magic had also recovered sowhat.

After carefully examining Xin Zhao's injuries, Lux quickly told Jarvan:

"He's so old, and after such a long battle, he's simply exhausted and fainted. There's no serious injury."

Jarvan finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking up at the Demacian army clearing the battlefield ahead.

But at this mont, Jarvan suddenly frowned:

"Tianna?"

The one leading the troops was not Garen, nor Quinn, nor Poppy, but Grand Marshal Tianna!

The Grand Marshal who was most defiant of him, who commanded Demacia's heavy forces, controlled the Silver Council, and had always obstructed his ascension to the throne—Grand Marshal Tianna!

Jarvan had always thought that all of this was a rebellion plotted by Grand Marshal Tianna and Soul Hunter Corps Commander Eldred. But now Tianna was actually leading Demacian soldiers to destroy the Soulless!

Tianna walked step by step towards Jarvan. Jarvan looked at Tianna in disbelief; he couldn't understand what had happened for a mont.

But Tianna suddenly knelt on one knee, bowing her head and saying to Jarvan:

"Tianna is late to your aid, please punish , Your Majesty!"
