LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

Yin Wa died in silence.

With the death of the magic dragon, peace finally returned to the palace. But the atmosphere beneath the calm was still oppressive.

The palace guards were busy cleaning up the messy battlefield, but the nobles present had no intention of doing so.

They soon forgot about the dragon and turned their attention back to today's two protagonists, King Jarvan and General Eldred.

Everyone knows that the matter is not over yet. Compared with that demon dragon, the Demon Searcher Corps is the real trouble for the royal family.

And now, King Jarvan has completely exploded this powder keg.

"Your Majesty Jarvan, the dragon has been killed." Galen returned to the palace with the giant sword and looked at Eldred unceremoniously.

According to Shyvana's confession, this second dragon was always under the control of General Eldred and the Demon Seeker Corps.

Then Yin Wa's crime of attacking the palace has no choice but to be blamed on the Forbidden Demon Faction.

"Eldred." King Jarvan sighed helplessly: "Now, do you have anything else to explain?"

"Your Majesty!" Eldred's eyes were extremely cold.

He took off all disguises, and there was no trace of the courtier's humility on his brows: "Don't you think this is going too far?"

"Isn't it too impatient to send us to the guillotine now?"

"..." King Jiawen was silent.

Xin Zhao quietly protected the king.

Galen kept a straight face and said nothing.

After Prince Jarvan and Lux ​​pondered for a moment, they quickly realized the seriousness of the problem:

Giving Eldred the label of "controlling a dragon and attacking the palace" is actually not very clever.

If Yin Wa hadn't suddenly appeared and almost exposed the truth in front of all the citizens of Xiongdu, I'm afraid Galen wouldn't have been forced to do this trick out of desperation.

after all...

This is a feudal kingdom, not a society ruled by law. If you really want your minister to die, what crime can't be found?

Therefore, what King Jarvan lacked was never a crime that could sentence Eldred to death, but the absolute power to defeat the demon-forbidden nobles and the demon-seeking corps in one fell swoop.

The king wants his minister to die, but he has the ability not to die. They even have the ability to make you die first——

This is the real headache for the king.

According to the original plan of Garen, Lux and Prince Jarvan, they originally planned to stage a big show of "the dragon surrenders" to crush the public opinion offensive of the Forbidden Demon Sect, and also use this as a reason to launch a search for demons. A comprehensive investigation by the Corps.

This is investigation and rectification, not encirclement and suppression.

It is necessary to leave a way for people to survive and cut the flesh with a soft knife, so as to prevent people from jumping over the wall and pushing the situation to the worst point.

But now:

"Control the dragon and attack the palace, ha..."

This is a capital crime among capital crimes. Whoever touches it will die, there is no room for it.

"I can't afford this crime!" Eldred sneered and said, "The Demon Seeker Corps can't even afford it!"

King Jarvan glanced at Garen.

Galen shrugged helplessly.

He also knew that this was too hasty. But there was no way he could explain the arrival of the second dragon unless he put the blame on Eldred.

Anyway...

This hat has been buckled, and it is impossible to take it back again.

If the Demon Searcher Corps refuses to obey the law, then they can only use swords to teach them what the "King's Law" is.

"Eldred!" King Jarvan also understood this truth.

So he quickly darkened his face and ordered Xin Zhao and others: "General Xin Zhao, I order you to lead the imperial guards to search the headquarters of the Demon Corps now, and ask them to put down their weapons and accept investigation!"

"Yes!" Xin Zhao, Galen, Lux, Prince Jiawen and others nodded.

"No need!" Eldred snorted coldly and mocked in front of the king: "Do you think that by holding me here, the Demon Seeker Corps will be leaderless and be slaughtered by others?"

"No! They will not accept the investigation obediently——"

"Because this matter was framed by a small group of conspirators from the beginning to the end! We, the Demon Searcher Corps, have no obligation to cooperate with such an unfair investigation!"

"A small group of conspirators?" King Jiawen frowned: "The investigation was a royal order personally issued by me. Do you want to say that I am also a conspirator?"

"No, Your Majesty Jarvan." Eldred said without changing his expression, "The conspirators I am referring to are actually——"

He looked around and then said a surprising name:

"Black Rose!"

There was a delicate silence.

Anyone can tell that this is nonsense.

But Eldred didn't care: "I have long discovered through investigation that the Black Rose Organization has secretly infiltrated Demacia and used evil spells to control and replace many nobles in high positions."

"For example, the Crownguard family——"

"You can check General Laxana's body to see if she is a fake disguised as a demon-stained person!"

"You?!" Lux gritted her silver teeth, wanting to curse Zu An.

It is true that she is a mage. But what's up with the black rose hat?

"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Galen could see Eldred's thoughts: "He is just following Swain's example and creating a claim for the Demon Seeker Corps' subsequent rebellion."

Black Rose, Cabal, this excuse is too good to use.

Anyway, no one can prove that the black rose exists, nor can they prove that it does not exist.

And after the success of "Qingjun Side", no matter whether the black rose exists or not, it will "really exist".

"Isn't this guy afraid of death?" Lux whispered beside her brother: "He and the nobles of the Forbidden Demon Sect are still being detained by us in the palace."

"There is no way." Galen replied: "This guy has been cornered and jumped over the wall."

"And just like Eldred said: The Demon Seeker Corps is not the private property of a few of them, but a huge interest group. Even if we kill them here, I'm afraid we can't let the Demon Seeker Corps abandon it. surrender."

"The opposite is true..."

Galen looked thoughtfully at the countless palace guards present.

He knew that there must be many informants of the Demon Searchers Corps in the palace. What is happening in the palace now, the Demon Searcher Corps headquarters must also know something about it.

And it was impossible for Eldred, who was cautious by nature, not to make any preparations and leave no backup plan before being summoned to the palace.

"Eldred must know that the more the Demon Seekers make trouble outside, the safer they will be here."

"So..." Galen sighed softly: "It seems that the battle is inevitable."

The Demon Searcher Corps will definitely resist the investigation with force.

And if the headquarters of the Demon Seeker Corps can withstand this wave of seizures by the royal family, it won't be long before the Demon Searcher Corps branches across Demacia, as well as the territorial private soldiers of the nobility of the Forbidden Demon Sect...

There is a high probability that a wave of "honoring the king and seeking rape" will be set off across the kingdom, causing Demacia to fall into long-term division and civil war.

"What should we do?" Lux tightened her staff nervously.

"Fight!" Galen shouldered the giant sword again: "Use the power of thunder to wipe out the Demon Seeker headquarters in one breath, and let the demon-forbidden forces in those places know that participating in rebellion is a dead end!"

With that said, Galen stood in front of the king:

"Your Majesty the King! The witness is here now. Even the passers-by on the streets of Xiongdu know Eldred's thoughts."

"Investigating and rectifying the Demon Seeker Corps is your greatest kindness. But they are not even willing to accept this-"

"This is no longer an ordinary rebellion."

"Must hit hard!"

.............................

Soon after.

Outside Xiongdu City, the headquarters of the Demon Searcher Corps.

The headquarters of the Demon Searcher Corps is not just a few office buildings that ordinary people imagine, paired with an undefended barracks.

As the headquarters of a huge armed group, it is almost an independent military fortress standing next to the capital, a satellite city with high walls and thick fortifications.

When Prince Jiawen and others led their troops to arrive here and formed a formation below the city...

The Demon Searcher Corps has already shrunk all its forces into this strong fortress, put away the moat bridge, set up giant crossbows for city defense, and assumed a posture of stubborn resistance to the end.

"I'm afraid this won't be easy to fight, Your Highness Jiawen." After a brief observation, General Xin Zhao said worriedly that he was the overall commander of this war. Prince Jiawen said:

"The Demon Searchers' headquarters city has an independent water source, and it has sufficient weapons and food reserves all year round. Although we have advantages in military strength and combat power, facing such a strong city..."

"If the defenders in the city are determined enough to resist, then it may not be a problem for them to stay here for a year and a half."

The Demon Searcher Corps can defend here for more than half a year, but the Jarvan royal family does not have the time to slowly spend half a year with them.

Let alone half a year, if the time drags on for one more day, the Demon Seeker Corps branches across the kingdom may become restless, and war may break out within Demacia.

"You are right." Prince Jiawen nodded secretly.

His usual energy is mainly focused on the military.

He's not very good at politics, but he's pretty good at fighting.

Therefore, Prince Jiawen could also see that the city in front of him was not easy to fight.

Although the enemy has trapped the isolated city, the advantage lies entirely with me.

But to capture it within a few days, or even within just one day, the siege team would definitely have to pay huge casualties.

"Both sides are Demacia warriors. Anyone who dies is a loss to the kingdom." Prince Jarvan sighed deeply.

Then he decided: "Let's shout first."

Attacking the city is the next step, attacking the heart is the top step.

"The officers and generals of the Demon Seeker Corps are willing to fight to the end for their privileges."

"But the soldiers under these officers may not be willing to follow them in rebellion."

With Prince Jiawen thinking this, he sent a few loud speakers with electric horns imported from Zu An, ran to the front of the formation and shouted:

"Brothers of the Demon Searcher Corps!"

"Didn't you hear the confession that the demon dragon shouted out in front of the whole city when he surrendered to His Majesty the King?"

"Eldred has now confessed his crime. Why do you still follow this traitor who secretly colluded with the demon-stained person, controlled the demon dragon, attacked the royal city, and did such a treasonous thing?"

"Stop resisting, everyone! Demacians will not fight Demacians, we will only kill the first culprits and ignore the rest!"

As soon as these words were shouted, it caused a wave of waves among the defenders in the city.

Indeed, they had also heard Shyvana's previous accusations in the "City-wide Public Screen Voice".

Eldred is the commander of the Demon Seeker Corps, and the ban on demons is the absolute consensus of all members of the Demon Searcher Corps.

If even Eldred secretly colludes with the demon-stained people and plans the dragon invasion, then what reason do they, the top soldiers, have to continue fighting for this regiment?

"Don't listen to their nonsense!" The soldiers had just wavered when they heard a general from the Demon Seeker Corps shouting from the top of the city: "General Eldred has sent us the news——"

"This is all Black Rose's conspiracy!"

"General Eldred was wrongly accused. Those two dragons were puppets controlled by the conspirators of the Black Rose from the beginning."

"His Majesty Jarvan and the Crownguard family have also been controlled by the black rose's mage."

"If you don't believe me, look at it -" the general pointed to the mage prisoner army led by Lux and Silas at the bottom of the city: "Look!"

"If His Majesty was not controlled by those conspirators, how could he allow these bug-like sinners to become soldiers of Demacia, and even enter the Arc de Triomphe in the name of heroes?"

"Now His Majesty Jarvan has been completely bewitched by the demon-contaminated people. He is bent on persecuting our demon-seeking corps and even completely overthrowing the forbidden magic eucalyptus."

"If we don't stop those evil sinners, no one will!"

"Brothers, are you willing to hand over this country to those evil sinners, and let these inherently bad seeds, the embodiment of evil, ride on the heads of the people of Demacia forever?"

The demon searcher general's shouts instantly restored calm to the turbulent military spirit.

The demon-seeking soldiers at the top of the city gradually gained fighting spirit, and suddenly developed a strong resistance to the calls to surrender coming from below.

"Oops." Prince Jiawen secretly said something was wrong.

He suddenly realized that he had misjudged the mentality of these Demon Seeker soldiers, and also misjudged the overall will of the Demon Seeker Corps to resist.

You must know that a strong army is always an army with conviction.

The reason why the armies of Noxus and Demacia are strong is largely because they have stronger patriotic sentiments.

While other countries were still stuck in the "Middle Ages", Germany and its empire were gradually transforming into modern nation-states.

And the Demon Searcher Corps, strictly speaking, can also be an army with faith.

They don't just fight for pay. It is not because they "eat Marshal Ai's food" that they "become Marshal Ai's soldiers."

What unites them is an illusory but powerful thing - the anti-mage racial minority.

To be more specific, it is the hatred for those infected with demons.

"I heard that the Demon Searcher Corps likes to recruit orphans who lost their families due to mage attacks, and bring them back to the headquarters to train them into reliable grassroots officers." At this time, Xin Zhao also saw something was wrong.

Oppression always begets resistance. There are indeed some extreme mage groups within Demacia.

These mages used extreme violence to retaliate against Demacia's ban on magic, but at the same time, their violence created more people who hated mages.

And these people are the best source of soldiers for the Demon Searching Corps.

"Besides, hunting down mages is inherently a dangerous job."

"These demon seekers can easily damage their comrades in their normal missions...and once a demon seeker dies in the line of duty, there will be more demon seekers who will have extreme hatred for the demon seekers. "

"Not to mention, the education they usually receive in the Corps is extremely opposed to mages."

In this case, the Demon Seeker Corps, especially the Demon Searcher Corps headquarters...

The people gathered here, from generals to officers and soldiers, are almost all extreme anti-mage racial ideologues who are filled with hatred.

"They were already very dissatisfied when they found out that His Majesty Jiawen allowed the mages to be taken out of the Forbidden Demon Tower and the mage prisoner army was established."

"Half a month ago, after hearing what happened at the triumphal ceremony, these people were even more deeply stimulated."

"Now..." General Xin Zhao said to Prince Jiawen with a worried look, "I'm afraid they won't surrender easily."

These soldiers of the Demon Searcher Corps are indeed unwilling to fight against the Jarvan royal family.

However, they firmly support the ban on demons and oppose King Jarvan's various measures to relax the restrictions on demons.

Now the generals of the Demon Seeker Corps have elevated their battle for power against Jarvan's royal family into a struggle of faith between the Forbidden Demon Sect and the "Conspiracy Mage Group" - in the eyes of the soldiers, this nature is immediately different.

Rebellion suddenly became King Qin, and became the ancestral method of protecting Demacia, protecting this pure land from those infected by evil.

The soldiers of the Demon Searcher Corps obviously liked this very much.

Looking at the hundreds of mages led by Lux in the city, their eyes showed undisguised disgust and hatred.

"Everyone! Hold on!" At this time, the general shouted from the top of the city: "We must not let those despicable demon-stricken people succeed!"

"We must rescue His Majesty Jarvan from the clutches of those mages and protect the sacred forbidden magic from being destroyed!"

"Everyone, hold on - our reinforcements from all over Germany will respond to us soon!"

"Yes!" The demon hunters responded in unison.

Under the blessing of this extreme anti-mage racial leader, the military morale of the Demon Seeker Corps gradually stabilized.

No matter how much Prince Jiawen's men shouted outside the city and made promises, these soldiers refused to respond easily.

"Fight." Xin Zhao sighed softly.

"But..." Prince Jiawen still hesitated. There were Demacia warriors on both sides, and he felt sad for anyone who died.

"Jiawen." But Galen also advised him: "We have no other choice."

"If we don't capture the Demon Searcher Corps headquarters as soon as possible, Demacia is likely to be involved in an endless war."

But Prince Jiawen still couldn't make up his mind. He walked to Galen and asked in a tentative voice, "How about we ask for support from Zaun?"

Invite Li Wei over, he will definitely win this war with minimal casualties.

"No." Galen shook his head: "That would make too much noise. If people discover our cooperation with the leader, then..."

That would not be a fight between the Royal Family and the Forbidden Demon Faction, but a fight between all the nobles of Demacia and the Leader.

By then, the situation in Demacia will only become more volatile. More people will die in the chaos.

And with the current number of cadres and administrative capabilities of the Wind Leader Association, even if they defeated the coalition of nobles in Demacia, they would never be able to deal with this mess.

"If you don't have the ability to establish a new order, don't rush to break the old order." Galen advised: "It is not appropriate for the leader to intervene now."

"Okay..." Prince Jiawen finally recognized the reality.

Persuading them to surrender had no effect, and they could not ask for support from their superiors.

Then we can only attack by force.

"Okay." Prince Jiawen finally made a decision: "Send the order to the entire army - attack the city!"

"Wait!" Lux's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"What's wrong?" Jiawen, Galen, and Xin Zhao all looked over in confusion.

Then I saw Lux looking up at the tall fortress with a subtle expression: "I seem to have a way to break the enemy's morale and even capture this city easily."

"What method?" Everyone was puzzled.

"Did you see that?" Lux stretched out a green-white finger and pointed to the top of the city.

On top of the towering city wall, a group of demon-seeking warriors were trying their best to drag ropes and pulleys, pulling a huge white statue behind the city wall step by step.

"What is this?" Galen and Jiawen were both slightly startled.

"This is..." Old General Zhao Xin actually recognized its origin: "The Forbidden Demon Stone Colossus?"

"This guy has been idle outside Xiongdu City for hundreds of years. Unexpectedly, he was invited to be used by the Demon Searcher Corps again."

"I see." Both Galen and Jiawen understood the purpose of this colossus: "This is a weapon prepared by the Demon Seeker Corps in advance to deal with the threat of mages."

This was obviously aimed at Lux and the hundreds of mages under her.

"No." But Lux smiled instead: "It's not a weapon - it's my old friend!"
