LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

At the same time, Yipu River Port.

General Lester didn't know it yet, but someone was already eyeing his head.

At this time, he deliberately blocked out all the other people, including the adjutant, and was sitting alone in his command office, carefully opening a secret letter.

This "secret letter" is special.

Because it is not a letter in the traditional sense at all, but a black crow flying rapidly from the distant sea.

Lester put the crow on the table and looked at it with his eyes.

Crow also looked at him carefully, as if confirming his identity and surrounding environment.

Finally, a strange red light appeared in the crow's twins, and the bird's beak opened and closed and mouthed the human words: "Leister."

"Teacher Swain, what are your orders?" Lester nodded respectfully.

"I am about to take over as the governor of Piltover, and I am now leading my army to the Twin Cities." Crow said, "You should be aware of this, right?"

"Of course." Lester nodded: "Student, I have been paying attention to the news from you, teacher."

He knew that Swain had been sent to Piltover by Darkwill, the puppet emperor, and made him responsible for confronting the Wind Leader on the front line.

This is obviously a trick between the leader and Swain, asking for directions and driving the tiger away.

"Very good, it seems you know our situation."

Swain uses "we" here. Because Lester is his student and has already boarded his pirate ship.

If he stumbles in the Shuang Cities this time, then a large number of generals sent by new officers, including Lester, who are thousands of miles away, will also suffer the same fate.

"Darkwill wants to use us as cannon fodder to test the leader. Of course we can't let him succeed."

"So no matter what, before that 'big thing' happens, we must maintain a peaceful relationship with the Wind Leader - whether it is in the Twin Cities or in Ionia, the Wind Leader is not our priority now. enemy--"

"Do you understand, Lester?"

The big event Swain was talking about was naturally the coup they secretly planned.

And this coup is related to the current wealth, life and future prosperity of all of them, and there is absolutely no room for loss.

"Understood." Lester nodded heavily.

Even though he disliked the leader. Both their theories and their blatant interference in the Ionian war.

But he knows that in order to fight against the outside world, one must first make peace with the inside.

If the old aristocratic forces within the Black Rose empire are not killed first, the old aristocrats will soon kill them.

Once the coup plan started, it couldn't be stopped. There was no turning back for them.

Therefore, in order to concentrate on solving internal problems first, Lester is willing to maintain peace with the leader for the time being.

"There have been orders coming from the Immortal Fortress recently, urging us to find the leader who escaped from Yipu River Port half a month ago as soon as possible."

This is obviously also a trick of the old aristocracy.

The old nobles wanted them to find the Wind Leader and then start a local war with the Wind Leader in Ionia.

Naturally, Leicester cannot let his opponent succeed.

"Teacher, don't worry. In fact, I have been covering for those leaders these days."

He had secretly sent out his trusted scouts long ago to confirm that the leader of the wind was not currently in the Yipu River Basin.

Because the leader took away tens of thousands of people. Moreover, because of their limited divine power, they stopped several times to rest during the flight, leaving many traces.

As long as you track it immediately, it's not difficult to confirm its approximate escape direction.

So he knew that the leader must have fled to other parts of the island.

But Lester still pretended to believe that the leader was here:

"I have sent people to secretly clean up the traces left by the leader when he escaped."

"It just so happens that some restless guys under my command took the opportunity to kill good people and take credit for their crimes, and lied about the military intelligence, saying that there were multiple groups of Leader guerrillas operating near the Yipu River Basin."

"I took advantage of the situation and reported these false news to the fools in the headquarters. Haha..."

"Now, 80% of the new troops added to Balu'e Province have been deployed to me. It is expected that for at least the next month, their time will be wasted in the continuous mountainous areas in the upper and middle reaches of the Yipu River."

"As long as those leaders are smarter, hide themselves and don't show up everywhere, this war will not be fought."

I'm afraid Riven and Feiya don't know that they can lead tens of thousands of people to hide safely in the Wuji Mountains, and there is an "unknown hero" like Lester standing behind them.

Now half of the empire is being fooled by him, and Leicester is quite proud of it.

However, the crow made a dissatisfied voice after pondering: "Lester, your idea is correct. But it is not a wise move to allow your subordinates to kill good people and take credit for their merits."

"You will only destroy the soul of an army - the discipline and ethos of the army."

"I..." Lester was stunned for a moment.

Then he nodded respectfully: "Yes, Teacher Swain."

In fact, he really wanted to say...Teacher Swain, after all, he has been laid off for more than a year.

I haven't been to the front line for a year, and I am somewhat out of touch with the frontline military situation.

Originally, when Swain was leading the troops on the front line, the imperial army had already become irreversibly corrupt.

Later, Swain was defeated and left the front line. Without the strong supervision of this strategist commander, Noxus's front-line troops in Ionia were corrupted at an alarming rate.

Not to mention the discipline and ethos of the soldiers...

Even Lester himself was frantically raking in free money in order to keep his official position and work through connections.

"Ahem..." Of course, these words are not easy to say to the strict teacher Swain.

"Lester, you don't need to hide it in front of me." Swain's voice penetrated the space and came coldly from the crow's mouth: "Do you think I don't know what you are doing because I am not on the front line?"

"In the more than a year since I was gone, you have all become as greedy and shameless as those old nobles, haven't you?"

"I..." Lester's spine felt cold.

Hearing the quietly cold voice, he recalled the terror of his teacher.

"Yes, I'm sorry..." Cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead: "Teacher, I failed to live up to your expectations. I..."

"Let's forget about the past," Swain said, "It was my loss of power that made you lose your backing. In order to maintain your position, you can only do some dirty and dirty things. I don't blame you for this."

"But since you are a soldier, you must at least have a bottom line."

"Noxians are not afraid of killing. But the killing should be meaningful and controlled. Otherwise, the soldiers will become complete beasts and the army will become a piece of loose sand."

"Yes!" Lester nodded respectfully.

"And..." Swain reminded him again: "Don't think that those little tricks you played can definitely deceive those old nobles."

"I received news from the Immortal Fortress that the high command has transferred a 'Supervisory Army' to you from Navoli."

"His battle group is stationed not far from Balu'e. Maybe we can arrive at Yipu River Port by boat today."

"W-what?" Lester suddenly panicked.

The gang of old aristocrats were really worried about allowing him, a general sent by a new officer, to take full charge of commanding the empire's military operations in Balu'e Province.

Where is this supervisory army? He was clearly here to seize power.

And once this command power is taken away by the old aristocratic faction, he will not be able to cover for the leader.

Not to mention covering...it would be good if the little tricks he used to cover the leader were not exposed.

When the time comes, at worst, he may be immediately executed for treason by the "Supervisory Army".

Thinking at the best, even if he could deceive the other party and make the other party believe that he was deceived by a soldier who was killed and took advantage of his merits, and he accidentally handed over the wrong information...

Then it is still possible that the other party will seize the opportunity to use this opportunity to remove him as the leader of the war group on the charge of "lax military management" and take away the army that he regards as the foundation of his life.

After all, it was a general from the old aristocracy who came this time.

People come here just to cause trouble, and they will definitely try their best to target them after they come here.

The more Lester thought about it, the more nervous he became.

Swain, who told him the shocking news, comforted him: "Actually, you don't need to worry too much."

"He's just a brainless idiot. I'm sure you can handle it."

"Oh?" Lester was puzzled: "Who is it?"

"Darkwill's loyal dog." Swain said: "A fool who has nothing but loyalty -"

"Glorious Executioner, Urgot."

(PS: Urgot is the current executioner. In the original work, after Swain's coup is successful, his status will be replaced by Drain)
