If Zoe didn't come, Morgana, who possessed half the power of the gods, would have a hard time facing Fiddlesticks, but it would still be much better than for them, a group of mortals, to face it.
Jarvan IV and Barrett originally agreed to return to the capital three days later.
But they agreed to Andel's request and there was no time to delay. They immediately led six fearless vanguard shield formations and a group of personal guards, rode on fast horses and set off that night.
Even though Andel had spent more than ten days walking to Lunwall, that was enough to sentence his wife and daughter to death...
Lunwall was hundreds of kilometers away from Hengfeng Village. The group traveled almost all the time and arrived at the quiet southern bank of the lake in the evening of the fifth day.
Hengfeng Village is just across the river.
"Let's set up camp here," Barrett suggested. "But the ship we came from stopped in Tobithia, so crossing the river will be a problem."
"Andel should have a solution, right?" Jarvan IV looked around. "By the way, where are the Andel people?"
Li Lin, who was standing by the river and looking at the opposite bank, had released several nano-reconnaissance drones. When he heard Jarvan IV's call, he hurried back to his side.
"Is Andel missing?" Li Lin asked.
Jarvan IV was displeased at this moment, and was scolding the soldier in charge of guarding Andel, "He was such a big man, and he was allowed to slip away?"
"I'm so sorry! This is my fault!" The soldier lowered his head in shame. "I'm willing to accept the punishment."
"Forget it. No one could have predicted Andel sneaking away." Barrett deliberately defended the soldier who had neglected his duty. "Besides, our march was very quick and everyone is very tired. Let's not do it again."
Jarvan IV stared at the soldier for a few seconds, then waved his hand helplessly, "Well...it's more urgent to investigate the matter of Hengfeng Village."
He turned his gaze to Li Lin, "Have you arranged your drone?"
"Alright, Your Highness."
Li Lin immediately projected a holographic image of the drone to everyone.
Barrett, witnessing this scene for the first time in his decades of life, couldn't help but stroke his graying beard and sigh, "To think Piltover even has this kind of technology... I've long urged your father to abolish the treaty prohibiting official trade and import more advanced technology."
"But the senator of the Council of Shield in charge of foreign affairs disagrees." Jarvan IV snorted.
"It will change, everything will change." Barrett knew that the prince had always been dissatisfied with the nobles who controlled the kingdom's privileges, so he tried to comfort him.
While they were talking, the drones had already found the exact location of Hengfeng Village, and each of them entered "optical camouflage" mode and dispersed.
Among them, a drone entered the village and discovered a shocking scene.
It was already evening and dinner time, but the village was utterly silent, without a trace of life.
"...Where are the people in the village?"
