Assassin

"We have to hurry, or things will go wrong!"

The speaker was a young man who was only as tall as Broll's waist.

He had unique red skin and an unconventional style of dress, with a Mohawk hairstyle that stood up high on his head like a rooster's comb.

It was one of the most popular hairstyles among street thugs from Zaun in the past two years.

His tone of voice was very unpleasant, sounding like a hoodlum, and out of place with the serious atmosphere around him.

However, Broll dared not underestimate this young man who looked like a small gangster, because he had already witnessed the other party's extraordinary abilities on the way.

His name was Ekko, a hero from the Zaun region of the Valoran Federation, and his title in the League of Legends was "Time-Breaker."

As the name suggests, his abilities are related to manipulating time.

Although his understanding of the essence of time is far inferior to Aiden, Zilean, or Nozdormu, he is undoubtedly an expert in the field that Ekko studies.

As soon as Ekko spoke, the others immediately became tense.

Broll led everyone in, one after another, with some being Night Elves, but more being people of other races.

The guards were a little overwhelmed, this group of people was stranger than the last, there was a witch exuding cold air all over her body, that was Lissandra; there was also a human girl dressed in animal skins and a small animal with big ears in her arms, he recognized these two, they were the two heroes Nidalee and Gnar who had stopped Emperor Thaurissan at Mount Hyjal not long ago; the hoodlum-like one was Ekko, he was carrying something like a fluorescent stick on his shoulder, the guard couldn't help but wonder, if this thing was a weapon, wouldn't it break with a touch?

Then there was a man, a woman, and a small ninja, the three ninjas of the Kinkou Order: Shen, Akali, and Kennen.

In the distance, a human girl wearing a top hat was holding a sniper rifle, leaning against a large tree, aiming at the entrance in a kneeling position, that was Caitlyn, the Sheriff of Piltover.

Before the guard could finish counting, Ekko suddenly said to Broll: "Hey, hey, bear-skin uncle, go around that lamppost in two seconds."

"Huh?"

Broll didn't ask why, but he already knew something was wrong—even without Ekko's reminder, he could hear the echoes coming from the depths of the cave—that was the sound of a Druid summoning the wrathful Moonfire.

"Speed up!" Broll lunged forward, transformed into a huge bear, and strode towards the depths of the burrow.

Two seconds had passed, he had just passed that lamppost, and at this moment, the lamppost suddenly burst open, a cloud of hot sparks erupted, the lamppost, which was supposed to be infused with moonlight energy for lighting, had been quietly replaced with extremely unstable flame essence.

As soon as it exploded, it was like a goblin-made explosive, turning a section of the alley into a sea of ​​fire.

Just around a bend, Broll saw a Druid fighting with a Warden, with their companions lying in pools of blood beside them.

"Stop! I order you to stop!" Broll opened his bloody mouth and uttered human words.

"Great Druid, this Warden has betrayed us!"

"Nonsense, you are the traitor!"

Neither side stopped at all, they accused each other of being traitors, and fought each other with increasingly vicious moves.

Broll was a little unsure for a moment who was telling the truth, he wanted to jump into the arena and forcibly stop the fight.

But at this moment, Ekko suddenly shouted: "Be careful of that Warden!"

Broll immediately glared at the Warden angrily, he knew Ekko's special ability, since he said the other party was a traitor, then there was definitely no problem.

Now that Broll had an attack target, he pounced like a bear, inserted himself between the two, separating them.

And raised his huge claws, slapping towards the Warden with a face full of anger and coldness.

"You're talking nonsense! I—" Before the Warden could explain, the terrifying wind pressure made it impossible for her to open her mouth.

And the Druid put away his hand and shouted: "This crazy woman killed our Druid brothers, hurry..."

"Bang!" A short stick emitting fluorescence suddenly hit the Druid on the back of the neck, and he fainted to the ground before he could finish his words.

The people behind clearly saw that in that instant, Ekko appeared beside the Druid like lightning, and swung this stick.

"Alright, alright, bear-skin uncle, this Warden is innocent!" Ekko hurriedly shouted.

At this time, Bearskin's bear paw was almost about to slap the Warden's face, fortunately he was already a Great Druid, otherwise no one could have withdrawn his hand in such a situation.

He looked back at Ekko suspiciously, Ekko's face was unabashed, and he shrugged his shoulders and said: "I bluffed them, you know, I can't see too far into the future."

If a bear could have a dark face, Broll would definitely have that expression now.

How could he understand Ekko's special abilities?

It was just that on the way here, Ekko's accurate prediction of what would happen in the next few seconds made him have to admit that most of the time it would be better to follow this little guy's instructions, otherwise he would usually be unlucky.

Ekko's abilities are manifested in the mysterious field of "time."

Ekko is exceptionally talented in this regard, but at his teenage age, it is impossible to say that he has much power.

His control of time is far from comparable to people like the Bronze Dragon or Zilean and Aiden.

The former can easily explore the secrets of the timeline, trace the past, explore the future, and can also stop, accelerate, decelerate or even reverse time in a large area, and can also create space-time doors to cross to other timelines or time points.

Compared with the former's ability to travel tens of thousands of years at every turn, Ekko's control of time is limited to only a few seconds.

But don't underestimate him because of this, Ekko's use of these few seconds has reached an extreme—he studies the characteristics of time and finds that the future will produce differences due to different choices, and the accumulation of these differences will lead to a completely different result.

Ekko is good at finding the most beneficial result for him from these few seconds of the future.

Since he mastered this ability, he has basically never lost a fight with hooligans in Zaun and elsewhere...

Many things can happen in a few seconds, or nothing can happen.

The clever Ekko understood this point long ago, so in order to make these few seconds more valuable, he often uses some extraordinary means.

For example, in the matter before him, in fact, if he did nothing, it would still be difficult to tell who the real traitor was among the fighting parties in the future he saw.

So he randomly accused one of them, and then he experienced a scene in which the real traitor—the Druid—assassinated him while Broll was unprepared in one of the futures.

In this way, wouldn't it be clear who the traitor is?

Broll now knew that the traitor was his Druid brother, he turned back into human form, and asked the Warden with a Shen Wear face: "What's going on..."

He was interrupted by Ekko before he could finish his sentence: "This Druid suddenly attacked her sisters, there was a riot here, don't ask, bear-skin uncle, hurry up!"

The Warden looked at Ekko in surprise, that was exactly what she wanted to say.

"Staghelm! They're here for Staghelm!" Broll gritted his teeth and said.

He said to the Warden, "Stay by my side and gather your sisters."

Then he turned his head and said to the others: "Charge in! I'll lead you!"

He turned into a giant bear again, rushing towards the depths of the animal cave unstoppably.

The Ragefire Chasm's terrain is very complex, comparable to a maze, and there are various magic restrictions, ordinary people will definitely get lost when they come in.

These Valoran heroes are no different from blind people if no one leads the way.

As soon as they rushed around a corner, there was another fight in front of them, also Druids and Wardens.

Ekko repeated his old trick: "The Warden is the traitor!"

The Warden Daria Moonwhisper, who was following them and had been wronged once, glared at this non-mainstream human teenager, she had just experienced the grievance of being wronged, and was almost slapped to death by Broll's bear paw.

And this time, the real traitor was still a Druid, and Ekko winked, and Kennen directly sent a lightning bolt to electrocute the guy.

At this time, Daria couldn't help but whispered: "Our sisters are all steadfast Wardens, can't you say that the assumed traitor is a Druid?"

"Ah ha, just slipped out!" Ekko said with a hippie smile.

Broll was sullen, didn't Daria secretly accuse the traitors of being Druids?

It's just that two Druids in a row were traitors, and he didn't have the confidence to refute it, only sadness and anger.

These guys are all Twilight's Hammer cultists lurking inside the Cenarion Circle, the tentacles of this cult have silently spread to this sacred organization!

Even Druids who are almost without desire can be infiltrated, how many people in the world can maintain true steadfastness?

"The Warden is the traitor!" Ekko said this sentence for the third time.

Out of inertia, everyone was almost ready to attack the two Druids who were besieging the Warden in the third place.

Ekko hurriedly added: "This time it's true!"

Akali and Shen, who appeared from the shadows, took down the besieged Warden with one move each.

This time Daria had nothing to say.

Broll even breathed a sigh of relief in his heart—at least this could prove that it was not only the Druids who were corrupted.

But he quickly realized that he shouldn't have such thoughts—because that meant that perhaps the entire Night Elf race had been corrupted...

The situation is very serious, the entire Ragefire Chasm is full of fighting, and many people are inexplicably caught in this struggle.

Some innocent people are accused of being traitors by others, and then attacked, everyone is dressed the same, and even the companions and friends who are usually very familiar, for a while no one knows who is still trustworthy.

The true Twilight's Hammer cultists like this environment the most, because they know very well in their hearts who are the enemies and who are the friends.

They caused this chaos in order to save Fandral Staghelm in prison.

Staghelm was imprisoned in the deepest part of the prison, today was the day Layana and Istarriya came to visit him, he should have been very happy, but he witnessed the most heartbreaking scene.
