Lombardi's expression remained serious as he slowly stepped back to the side, but the lingering anger in his eyes continued to burn. His gaze shot toward The Two Brothers like a sharp arrow, seemingly issuing a silent challenge.
Swen was the first to break the Silence. His voice was steady and deep, carrying an undeniable authority: "Who are you?"
Wei Dong casually scratched his nose, looking indifferent, seemingly unafraid of the high-ranking Noxus figure before him: "I am Zhang Wei Dong, and this is my brother, Zhang God Tone."
Mr. Valo quickly interjected with a hint of nervousness in his tone: "Swen sir, they are the Summoners who just passed the test. If I'm not mistaken... personally, I believe in their abilities. They should be the top performers of this year's cohort."
Swen's gaze swept over The Two Brothers, revealing a hint of evaluation and contemplation in his eyes. He did not immediately respond to Mr. Valo's words but silently assessed the somewhat unusual siblings. In Swen's view, everyone was an unknown variable, and these two seemingly naive Summoners undoubtedly added a layer of complexity to the game at hand.
Darius, on the other hand, smiled slightly, seemingly appreciating The Two Brothers' carefree demeanor. He knew that in Noxus, sometimes this kind of boldness to challenge conventions was a necessary condition for success.
The figure of Swen gradually rose, resembling an unshakeable mountain, his gaze deep and sharp, locking onto The Two Brothers. In them, he seemed to see a special potential, a light not understood by ordinary people. His deeply set eyes appeared to be able to see into the hearts of others, yet also revealed a hint of elusive emotion.
He turned his head, those eyes weathered by countless wars casting a profound questioning look at the mysterious figure wrapped in bandages. The mysterious person sat quietly, their very existence a puzzle; any small movement could influence the power balance of Noxus. However, the mysterious figure made no sound but slowly nodded. This simple yet significant gesture immediately stirred a slight commotion in the hall. Everyone could sense that this was not merely a gesture of agreement but rather an acknowledgment of some possibility for the future.
Swen's expressionless face revealed a rare hint of surprise, a look that was not typical for this usually calm strategist who calculated every move. At this moment, however, his expression seemed somewhat uncertain, as if he had seen something unexpected in The Two Brothers.
Mr. Valo, Lombardi, and even the surrounding soldiers displayed expressions of astonishment. In this serious and disciplined environment, every small change could signify a significant shift. The arrival of The Two Brothers seemed to have stirred the core of power, filling everyone's hearts with questions: What could these two seemingly out-of-place figures bring to Noxus?
Darius, the iron-blooded general of Noxus, had a confident smile on his face, as if he had no doubt about his choice. His gaze swept confidently over everyone present, as if to tell everyone that this was his decision, and his decisions were never wrong.
Wei Dong and God Tone felt Darius' trust, but also felt some pressure. Wei Dong unconsciously scratched his head, seemingly pondering how to deal with this unprecedented situation. God Tone muttered absentmindedly, their frivolous demeanor contrasting sharply with the seriousness around them.
Darius's voice echoed again in the hall: "Lord Swen, the two I have chosen are certainly not ordinary individuals. They may seem unruly, but I believe in their potential and strength. Noxus needs this kind of new blood; for our future, please give them a chance to prove themselves."
Swen nodded slightly, his gaze still fixed on The Two Brothers, his bottomless eyes seemingly analyzing everything about these newcomers. He did not immediately respond to Darius's words but instead contemplated in silence, a silence that felt particularly heavy in the hall.
Mr. Valo felt a surge of anxiety beside him; he knew that this decision could be a significant turning point for Noxus. For The Two Brothers, their lives would also be forever changed from this moment onward.
Swen's eyes reflected deep concern, his gaze intense and penetrating as if scrutinizing every detail of Wei Dong and God Tone, assessing whether they were truly capable of handling this important task. His voice was steady and powerful, each word seeming to echo in the air, emphasizing the significance of his statements.
"Frejlord has defeated us time and time again, causing the position and influence of Noxus to decline. If we cannot achieve victory in the upcoming Summon War, our country will be in unprecedented trouble. Our enemies are watching, waiting for us to make more mistakes," Swen's words are filled with concern for the future and dissatisfaction with the current situation.
Wei Dong and God Tone listened to Swen's words with confusion. In this new world, they don't have much understanding of the so-called Summon War, but from Swen's words, they feel the importance and severity of this war. Wei Dong frowned, scratching his head as if trying to understand this new information. God Tone, on the other hand, occasionally scratched his head, appearing somewhat uneasy and confused about the unknown war.
A confident smile appeared on Darius's face as he firmly looked at Swen and the Faceless Ones, then turned to The Two Brothers. His voice was steady and powerful: "This choice is a bold attempt for Noxus, but I believe that sometimes it is these unconventional choices that can bring about a turning point. Wei Dong, God Tone, you may not fully understand the challenges you face, but I believe in your potential and that you can bring new hope to Noxus."
