Li Lin readily agreed to Jarvan IV's request. After all, he had already planned this.
However, if you want to edit genes, you must use "gene editing" and "gene directed expression" technologies.
These two skills can only be unlocked at level 70. He is only level 69 now, so it will take some time.
You just need to kill the Bloody Lady Faris Noradi and the Dark Legion she leads, and it will not be a problem to reach level 70 or above.
This vampire has been locked onto by the intelligent computer and is being tracked by an invisible drone.
No matter where Faris ran, Li Lin could catch up with her.
After all the soldiers recovered to the point where they could walk, Li Lin ordered the mechanical troops to be teleported back, leaving only dozens of storm robots to protect their battered team.
Jarvan IV told Li Lin that they had to follow the Silver Mountains in the west to avoid the main force of the Noxian warband that had cut off their retreat, and then go to the nearest border fortress of Lunwall in the territory.
If Li Lin can find the vampire and kill her, he can be found in Lunwall, on the other side of the mountains to the east.
After greeting Jarvan IV, Li Lin didn't hesitate any longer and immediately located the location where Faris had fled on the map on the holographic display.
The place where she stayed was very close to where the main forces of Demacia and Noxus were fighting. She crossed hundreds of kilometers in just a few tens of minutes, which was an incredible speed.
It seems that the reason why Faris came here to encircle Jarvan IV today was to send her own Dark Legion to stop the Demacia army.
Li Lin determined the coordinates for the teleportation and activated the "Hex Teleport" function of the Infinite Armor.
Faster than Faris turning into blood mist, he only took three or four seconds to complete the journey that took the vampire who mastered intermediate blood magic dozens of minutes.
As soon as he arrived at the border of the battlefield, Li Lin couldn't help but frown when he saw a scene in the distance.
The plains of Tranquil Lake were littered with corpses, including not only Demacia and Noxian soldiers, but also the corpses of Noxian dragon dogs and giant dragon lizards that he had only seen in library books.
Blood, silver and dark broken armor, weapons, and broken and tattered battle flags were everywhere, completely losing the once lush greenery and vitality of the Quiet Lake Plain.
It is now a truce period, and neither Demacia nor Noxus has received any news about Jarvan IV, so there is no ceasefire, and naturally there is no such thing as cleaning up the battlefield.
Li Lin frowned deeply, activated the "optical camouflage" mode and rose into the air, then roughly determined the death toll on the distant battlefield through a rough scan by the armor's intelligent system.
There were more than a thousand people, most of whom were corpses wearing Noxian standard plate armor. The casualty ratio between the two sides was about two to three.
"Is this... war?"
Li Lin took a deep breath, feeling very heavy.
The last Zaun alchemy facility explosion and gas leak led by Renata also resulted in many casualties and missing persons, but in comparison, the feelings were two completely different.
Li Lin cannot judge Noxus's actions as good or evil.
After all, from their point of view, only external expansion can support such an empire with extremely scarce resources.
In the eyes of other countries and innocent people, Noxus is evil.
But in the eyes of the people of Noxus, this is actually saving themselves and is something they have to do.
Not to mention that Demacia only looks glamorous on the surface, but is actually a hypocritical and extremely corrupt person who persecutes innocent mages among the civilians.
Rather than simply saying that the two countries are in opposition between good and evil, it is better to say that they are in opposition of stances.
Moreover, deep within the Immortal Bastion, the iron armor that once ravaged the Valoran continent and is now sealed in the Well of Death will eventually welcome the return of its master.
Over the past hundred years, under the impetus of the Pale Witch LeBlanc, Runeterra has almost fallen into all-out war more than once.
However, the reason why the Black Rose Society did this was simply to find a way to deal with a greater threat to Runeterra in the future - Mordekaiser leading the army of the dead back to the world of the living.
But the actions of Leblanc and the Black Rose she founded were extreme. Li Lin really couldn't convince himself to accept this practice of provoking war without reason.
You can clearly find a better way to save Noxus and deal with the world crisis. Why do you have to use black magic to erode the entire world and push the world into war?
Isn't this just a way of wasting our own manpower before the world crisis even arrives?
Li Lin couldn't understand.
If he had to choose, he would rather support the hypocritical Demacia than deal with Noxus.
Moreover, he had a deep memory of the inhumane tragedies caused by Noxus' use of alchemical explosives in the Navoli Plains and Wuji Village in Ionia.
[Master, the Bloody Lady is in the Noxian military camp one kilometer southeast of you.]
Just as Li Lin was sighing, the intelligent computer marked Faris's location on the map.
[According to the voice transmission from the drone, Noxus believes that this battle plan has completely failed due to your intervention and is discussing a withdrawal.]
"Withdrawal? Wishful thinking."
Although with Li Lin's current influence, his actions represent the entire Piltover.
If Piltover wants to remain neutral, he cannot do too much to Noxus.
But if he kills a few blood-sucking bugs from the Black Rose Society, I'm sure Commander Jericho Swain might even thank him.
With mixed feelings, Li Lin quickly flew to the location shown on the map and looked down at the Noxian soldiers who were busy sorting their belongings.
Faris and her subordinates, the vampires that Li Lin had met at the Gate of Sorrow, were staying in a corner of the Noxian temporary military camp, talking to the current temporary commander.
Just as Li Lin asked the intelligent computer to lock onto the guys from the dark regiment below and prepare for a high-altitude precision strike, the armor's system display suddenly became chaotic and lost its aim.
"What's going on..."
[Master, the laws of physics around us are distorted. This must be Miss Zuo Yin's magic.]
"Zuo Yin? Why is she..."
Before Li Lin finished his doubtful words, a golden circular portal suddenly opened in front of him. Zuo Yin, who had not been seen for a long time and still looked playful, came out from it.
As soon as she saw Li Lin, she rushed forward excitedly, put her arms around his neck, clamped her legs around his waist, and her delicate face was filled with joy.
"Hi! Honey, we've been apart for so many, so many days. Do you miss me?"
Li Lin: "..." (To be continued)
