Swain's words had just fallen, and Draven and Katarina almost simultaneously stood up.
"I volunteer to join the special operations team," Draven said, his voice filled with determination. "General Darius is my brother, and I have a responsibility to find him and ensure his safety."
Katarina quickly followed, "I am willing to join as well. Darius is our hero, and I cannot stand by and do nothing."
Swain smiled, "Very well, you two are also my top choices. Your courage and skills will be of great help on this mission."
At that moment, the faceless who had been sitting silently on the side suddenly spoke. His voice was eerie and hollow, unlike any normal human voice.
"I will dispatch three top assassins from the Assassin Alliance to join the special operations team. They will assist you in locating the whereabouts of Darius."
The atmosphere in the entire legislature hall instantly became more tense. faceless rarely expresses their opinions so openly, let alone providing such substantial support.
Swain nodded, "Thank you very much, faceless. Your involvement will greatly increase the success rate of this mission."
faceless No response, just a faint nod.
Swain stood in the center of the legislature hall, his gaze piercing through the heavy atmosphere, landing on each person present. He took a deep breath, then spoke solemnly:
"In summary, our action plan is as follows: Talon, you will be responsible for investigating the cause of the explosion at the high tower in the city, as well as any potential traitors involved. I hope you can uncover the truth as soon as possible, as it is crucial for our next steps."
Talon nodded, his expression serious and resolute, "Understood, I will take action immediately and will not disappoint you."
Swain then turned to Draven and Katarina, as well as faceless, "The special task force will head to the front lines of the North to find General Darius and uncover the truth behind all of this. Draven, Katarina, and the three assassins sent by faceless, you are the core of this mission."
The three either nodded or smiled, indicating their understanding and acceptance.
"As for me," Swain concluded, "I will do my best to appease and delay the nobles and the army in the upcoming meeting. We need time, but at the same time, we cannot let the situation deteriorate further."
He looked at each person present and said, "This is a war we cannot afford to lose, not only on the battlefield, but also here," pointing to his heart, "in the heart of each one of us. I hope this matter can be resolved quickly, for Noxus, and for ourselves."
After his words fell silent, the entire legislature chamber was filled with a heavy yet resolute atmosphere. Everyone understood that they were not only facing external enemies, but also internal unrest and suspicion. Nevertheless, they had to unite because that was their only way out.
Swain slowly sat down, his gaze seemingly piercing through the heavy atmosphere of the legislature chamber, staring into a distance that only he could see. His hands were crossed on the table, fingertips tapping lightly. This was a small gesture he often made when deep in thought, but in this tense moment, it seemed unusually conspicuous. He appeared to be contemplating the next course of action, carefully weighing every possible variable and outcome with his calm eyes.
The faceless figure slowly stood up, his silhouette appearing somewhat hazy in the sunlight. He walked to the edge of the balcony, gazing into the magnificent scenery of Noxus from afar. The empire, which would never cease its expansion, was now facing an unprecedented crisis. His voice had always been eerie and hollow, as if from another world. But at this moment, he seemed to be contemplating, perhaps pondering what this crisis meant for him and the assassin's league he represented.
Katarina and Talon stood to the side, their faces filled with tension and anxiety. Katarina occasionally glanced at Swain, seemingly seeking some form of reassurance, while Talon kept glancing at the flyer placed on the table, an important clue he was about to investigate. They exchanged opinions in hushed tones, every word, every glance, filled with pressure, because they knew that this mission might change the fate of Noxus.
Draven stood in a corner not far away, his gaze passing through everyone and finally stopping at Swain. His face was originally serious, but when he saw Swain's calm and firm eyes, his mouth involuntarily turned up. He said in a low voice, "The show is about to begin!"
Draven was filled with anticipation and confidence. He knew that this was not just an ordinary war, but a test, a test of intelligence, courage, and loyalty for every participant. And he, as an indispensable role in this grand drama, was ready to give it his all. His heart was racing, not out of fear or nervousness, but out of endless curiosity and anticipation for the future.
Draven slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the legislature hall one last time before leaving. He walked to the front door and pushed open the heavy wooden door with force. The guard behind the door immediately stood up straight and showed him respect.
"Bring me my weapon," Draven said in his habitual, confident voice.
The gatekeeper nodded and walked towards a small room. In no time, he took out two exquisite axes, each a perfect combination of artistry and lethality. The handles were carved with intricate patterns, and the blades were specially treated to be exceptionally sharp.
Draven took the axes, his fingers naturally wrapping around the handles as if the two axes were a part of his body. He smiled slightly and whispered to the axes, "I miss you, my friends."
He swung the axe and felt the trajectory it traced through the air, a comfort only warriors who had been through countless battles could understand. He knew that ahead of him lay not only enemies, but also unknown challenges and dangers. But whatever lay ahead, he was prepared. He securely hung the two axes back on his waist, turned and walked out of the Council building, embarking on the journey to find Darius and uncover the truth.
