LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna
Chapter 391 Commander Swain
With Darius's acquiescence and cooperation, the Hex Flying Gate roared and delivered Piltover's 30,000 garrison safely.
The 50,000 Ionian front troops led by Lester also reached a temporary cooperation agreement with the leader under Swain's arrangement.
This allowed them to escape from the front line of Baru'e and fly to the Immortal Fortress on the Windleader's Hexgate.
that's all...
Swain encountered almost no obstacles and successfully assembled an army of 80,000 at the heart of the Noxian Empire.
However, his enemies, the elite garrison of the Immortal Fortress, have become disorganized and their military morale has been shaken due to the official exposure of the Black Rose Cabal and the complete collapse of the legitimacy of Darkwill's regime.
At the moment there is little to no one willing to stop the rebellion.
It was not easy for a few loyal ministers of the empire to lead their troops to the scene in time.
Then they opened their eyes and looked: "General Swain, Marshal Darius?"
"You...when did you become rebels?"
This awkward silence happened several times during Swain's march.
Then the imperial officers who came to suppress the rebellion collectively chose to surrender.
There's no way... Swain once served as Marshal of the Demacia Theater in the West and Ionia in the East; and Darius is the current Marshal of the Northern Freljord Theater.
The combined network of these two men covers most of the empire's military circles.
They have even joined forces to rebel, so why stop them?
So the capital garrison who came to stop the rebellion changed their banners and joined Swain's team.
Seeing that the regular army could no longer be relied on, a few wealthy nobles who refused to sit back and wait for death had to lead their private soldiers to resist.
But if these people lose the support of the army, how can they be the opponents of Swain and Darius?
Within a few moments, Swain led more and more soldiers along the way, shouting the slogan "Down with the Black Rose, Save Darkwill", and marched to the immortal fortress that was the emperor's palace.
The Noxian First Legion guarding the palace, the Leather Guard Legion loyal to Darkwill, did not even make any resistance to Swain's "armed pilgrimage" this time.
The Immortal Fortress, which had not been captured by anyone since the death of Mordekaiser, actually opened its door to Swain unhindered.
"Teacher Swain!" Lester and other generals looked at Swain excitedly.
Ahead is Darkwill's palace.
The last step, just the last step!
They were only a short step away from the supreme power of the Noxus Empire.
"Come with me." Swain was not as excited as his subordinates.
He sighed softly, took the lead on the stairs, and walked towards the palace that he was all too familiar with.
This palace also appeared in the movie "Swain and the Black Rose".
It was here that he met Darkwill for the first time in his life, and was appreciated and promoted by this wise king, thus embarking on the path of a soaring life.
He had discussed state affairs with Darkwill here countless times, discussing how to change the future of Noxus.
But now, when he returns to his old place, he brings with him an army of 80,000 "King Qin".
"Your Majesty Darkwill." Finally, Swain led the people into the palace city.
In that familiar banquet hall, he met Darkwill again.
And Darkwill...
He seemed to have given up completely.
It was clear that the rebels had already entered the palace city, but he did not escape or organize a resistance. He just sat alone in the main seat of the banquet hall, looking up with a dull expression.
"Darkwill!" Drain picked up the guy excitedly, ready to accept the most noble head in the empire.
"Stop!" Darius stopped his brother's mindless behavior in time.
"Ahem." He coughed twice in embarrassment, and reminded with a gloomy face: "Don't forget, we are here to save His Majesty!"
Open regicide is undoubtedly the stupidest choice.
They have reached the last step. The overall situation has been decided, and of course things have to be done decently.
It was difficult for Darius to explain these things clearly. After all, he had always been a loyal minister before today.
He was embarrassed to speak clearly about such rebellious words.
Fortunately, Darius was not the only knowledgeable person present.
"General Swain." Amystan, who was forced to join the group yesterday, now seized the opportunity to show off actively.
She was the first to point out: "His Majesty Darkwill's spirit has been completely controlled by the black rose's magic."
A mentally unstable person is certainly not qualified to hold the power of the empire. What he said naturally made no sense.
"He must receive treatment as soon as possible."
Send him to treatment first.
Darkwill is also older. If he is treated and treated, he may die of "natural death".
"General Amystan is right!" Lester and others agreed.
Darius also stood aside without saying a word, acquiescing to all this happening.
As the protagonist, Swain was not in a hurry to decide Darkwill's ending.
He looked at Darkwill, who was sitting alone on the throne, observing his confused and godless face.
"Your Majesty." Swain said in a complicated tone, "Are you...awake now?"
"I..." Darkwill, who had been stunned for a long time, finally spoke.
But he actually showed an incoherent, crazy and ugly look in front of everyone: "Swain, are you back?"
"Okay...just in time. I, I...I'm sober! I...know what I'm doing! Come on, drink...drink!"
"This..." Everyone looked at each other.
Darkwill's crazy performance obviously further confirmed the conspiracy rumors that he was controlled by the black rose.
Swain's legitimacy of "raising troops to serve the king" has also been further consolidated.
However...
"Is he really crazy?" Someone whispered in a very ignorant voice.
"Otherwise?" Leicester glared at the ignorant officer fiercely: "Now that you have seen with your own eyes His Majesty Darkwill's mental state, can this be false?"
"..." There was a subtle pause.
Everyone reacted in time and sighed: "Those damn Black Rose conspirators, they actually brought the great Lord Darkwill to such disaster!"
"General Swain." After saying that, everyone looked at Swain again for instructions: "His Majesty Darkwill's condition seems to be no longer delayed..."
"..." Swain glanced at Darkwill one last time, and finally sighed softly: "Well, just do as Amystan said."
With that said, the soldiers swarmed up and forcibly took the already crazy Darkwill down.
In order to prevent the mad emperor from suddenly waking up, acting uncooperatively with treatment, and saying things that are not conducive to unity...
Everyone also thoughtfully tied his hands and feet with magic-forbidden chains captured from Demacia, and blocked his mouth with a piece of cloth.
"Uh, uh..." Darkwill struggled and was pushed off the throne by everyone, and he left the political stage of Noxus forever.
And the old emperor is seriously ill and cannot handle state affairs, so the next step is naturally...
"Teacher Swain!" Lester was the first to jump out: "There is an old saying in Ionia, no matter whether a country or a family, there cannot be a person who makes the decision every day."
"Now His Majesty Darkwill is ill and unable to act. Teacher, you must take responsibility for Noxus!"
"Yes!" Amy Stan behaved more directly.
She said: "The sunset is a law of nature, but the same is true for the sunrise. No one can stop it."
"Our emperor of Noxus was originally elected jointly by the leaders of the chapter."
"And General Swain - now His Majesty Darkwill can no longer take on the important responsibilities. Looking at the whole country, you are the only one qualified to take over the position of this monarch!"
"I am willing to elect General Swain as the next Emperor of Noxus as the leader of the independent chapter!"
"I agree!" Lester followed up with a chorus.
"I agree too." Darius also expressed support.
Everyone present excitedly shouted: "Please invite General Swain to be the emperor!"
Swain was just silent for a while.
Then he said: "Don't try to persuade me, I don't intend to be the emperor."
"This..." People who don't understand are still confused.
People who understand have already said the lines.
Lester felt he understood. This must be because Teacher Swain wanted to go through the process completely and humbly resigned first.
"Teacher Swain." So he hurriedly advised: "I know you have no desire for power, but now it's not you who want to be the emperor, but the empire needs you to turn the tide..."
"No." Swain interrupted him coldly: "Noxus no longer needs another emperor."
"I plan to establish the 'Trefali Council' based on Piltover's system and completely replace the original emperor system."
"This..." Lester and others were slightly startled.
Swain wanted to reform the system from the very beginning? Is this step too big a step?
Then they thought about it for a moment:
Fine. Swain can do whatever he wants.
Anyway, Piltover's Merchants' Council is nothing more than an aristocratic salon with a new skin.
As long as the political power is still in the hands of military leaders like them, what difference does it make whether they are called "members" or "nobles"?
So Swain's steps were actually not that big.
This so-called "Trefali Parliament" is nothing more than changing the empire's system from a monarchy to an aristocratic republic.
And in fact:
Under the objective situation that the emperor had been ignored by the nobles for a long time, and even who should be the emperor needed to be decided by the joint election of the nobles, there was no true monarchy in Noxus.
Thinking about it this way, Swain has simply changed the secret aristocratic republic into an overt aristocratic republic.
The only difference is that the group of nobles participating in the Republic will be replaced.
It was them who were replaced, these ministers of the Dragon!
"Teacher Swain, I support your decision!" Lester agreed excitedly.
"General Swain still sees the long term." Amystan also changed her tone: "I support General Swain in establishing the Trifali Parliament and serving as the first parliamentary leader of the empire in the future!"
"..."
The emperor became the commander-in-chief and his title changed, but the process of persuading people to join remained the same.
Swain was too lazy to watch everyone act, so he agreed directly.
"Great!" At the end of the process, Lester did not forget to say a few more words: "With Teacher Swain leading us, Noxus will definitely be great again!"
"Really..." Swain was not interested.
If he had stood here as a reformer before meeting the leader, he would have been smug and excited, looking forward to accomplishing a great cause that would change the world in this position.
But now, his perspective on understanding the problem has become deeper.
"Can Noxus really become great again in our hands?"
Swain looked at Lester, Amystan, the students and generals who followed him, and suddenly asked with a hint of emotion.
"Of course!" Lester and others immediately replied: "When we completely eliminate those insects that are eating up the Empire, Noxus will definitely get better."
"Hmm..." Swain nodded noncommittally.
Then, he turned to look out the window.
This window was the window he faced when he first met and talked with Darkwill as described in the movie "Swain and the Black Rose".
Inside the window is the magnificent palace banquet hall.
And outside the window, there is the dirty cityscape full of slums.
The movie says that when he and Darkwill first met decades ago, they saw the slums outside the window from this window.
But in fact, these plots are all artistic processing.
Both Darkwill and him back then were standard Noxians who believed in the law of the jungle.
Just like Riven in the past, Darius now...
They may feel sorry for the suffering of the poor, but they will never deliberately help these weak people.
However, the various reform policies implemented by Swain and Darkwill in order to consolidate the emperor's rule and eliminate the country's ills, while attacking the privileges of the nobility, did benefit many poor people.
Therefore, in line with the principle of not caring about the heart, Levi added such a "true past event" to Swain in the movie in order to highlight Swain's decent image and enhance the dramatic conflict between the good and the villain.
In fact, Swain had never deliberately stood at such a high place in the past to overlook the city view of the Immortal Fortress.
Until now, it was the first time he had done so.
He saw the cityscape of the Immortal Fortress, and saw the slums that spread across the city like festering abscesses, but were always ignored by the Noxians as air.
"Teacher Swain." Lester approached carefully and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Swain did not answer, and instead asked his students and the generals who could be called the reformists present: "What do you think? What can you see from this window?"
"This..." Everyone followed his gaze and looked out the window doubtfully.
"I saw Noxus, teacher!" Lester replied happily: "Every inch of the Noxus Empire is now under your feet!"
Swain: "..."
"What's wrong, General Swain?" Everyone became nervous.
"Nothing." Swain replied calmly: "I just thought about the various difficulties we may face in the future."
"Making Noxus great again may not be that simple."
"We still have a lot to do in the future, and we still have a long way to go -" He paused before saying meaningfully: "Everyone, don't fall behind."
