Meanwhile, in the Noxian army, a long-haired man carried a sledgehammer while casually listening to his NPC superior's speech.
No matter how rich or powerful someone might be in reality, in the game they still had to endure NPC lectures.
Disobeying NPCs meant plummeting favorability. And when favorability dropped, hidden quests vanished.
Kill an NPC by relying on your stats? You'd be surrounded and cut down by guards in seconds.
So even though the speech was just recycled morale talk, Thor stood there obediently.
From the start, his goal had been to become a Noxian general and one day lead troops against his Demacian friends.
But before Demacia, he'd been assigned to the Ionian campaign.
He wasn't a general yet — just a regular soldier — otherwise he'd be the one giving the speech.
He'd heard Ionia was beautiful, rich in resources… and beautiful women.
To invade it, Noxus had to cross the sea by warship.
After the speech, Thor found a place to sit and rest.
On the same ship was a fierce woman.
Her name was Riven — someone even Thor avoided.
She carried a massive rune blade. In reality Thor wouldn't fear it, since he had a divine weapon too. But here, his hammer was just standard gear.
Her rank was higher — captain of a swordsman squad.
"Hey, you with the hammer."
Thor jolted upright. "Good morning, Master Swordsman!"
"Have I seen you before? Name?"
"Thor… Do you have any tasks for me?"
"Oh. You're the recruit who lasted three moves against me, right?"
"…Yes."
"Oh, rookie, I'm optimistic about you. We're nearing shore. War's about to start. Don't die."
She left.
Ionia — Navoli Province
When Ionian scouts spotted wolf-like warships, they prepared for battle.
Ionia had little standing army — mostly militia.
Their combat strength was far below Noxus.
War erupted.
Arrows fell like rain. Ionian troops dropped in waves.
When the arrows ran out, Noxian forces charged.
Though weaker, Ionian warriors fought desperately for their homeland.
The battle dragged on.
By the eleventh day, Noxian command realized: Ionians wouldn't break.
Supplies were limited. Continued fighting meant exhaustion.
Yet retreat meant failure.
So the high command chose drastic measures.
Riven received a secret mission.
She and her unit would escort another corps through Navoli.
They carried a "secret weapon." Once deployed behind enemy lines, victory would be swift.
Riven accepted without hesitation.
