Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

In the end, the gag order jointly issued by Crown Guard and Bouvier allowed Galen to escape. Although his image has been shattered in the hearts of many people, he only needs to avoid these people for a while and there should be no need to flee Germany. Marcia.

Well, it's gratifying, gratifying.

However, things are not over yet.

Soon, Ogesha, who hurried over, took action with her own hands. She picked up her son's ears and carried him all the way to the Bouvier family's manor, where she went to apologize.

And because Crownguard Manor and Bouvier Manor are on the east and west sides of Demacia's capital, almost all the residents of Demacia's capital saw the little bastard Garen being paraded through the streets with his mother holding his ears. .

The crowd obviously didn't know what Galen had done, but there were stories of teenagers being punished by their mothers at the hands of their mothers, from nobles to commoners, and the reasons were all bizarre, so everyone was happy to eat them. There were spontaneous and strong onlookers along the way.

Compared with Lux's words, the level of being paraded around by the ears has dropped by a level, but Galen still feels hopeless and hopeless.

Fortunately, after Mrs. Bouvier learned what happened, she did not embarrass Galen and even gave a warning to her ignorant daughter, so that the whole turmoil finally subsided.

Except for the fact that Jarvan IV looked at Galen's red and swollen ears and laughed seven times during training the next day, this matter was at most mentioned occasionally when some naughty children were being educated by their parents. To: "Do you also want to be carried around two miles by your ears like that bastard that day?"

Well, only Galen's injured Xiongdu was born.

However, although this incident was a huge blow to Galen, it was nothing more than a small incident for the capital of Demacia - and looking at Demacia as a whole, it was even less worth mentioning.

Even Barrett Bouvier and Peter Crownguard didn't take it to heart. When they met at Dawn Castle the next day, they didn't even mention it once.

For them, the more important thing right now is to focus on the war between Noxus and Ionia.

To be precise, it focuses on war intelligence.

Unlike the Noxians who formed a professional war craftsman organization, Demacia actually did not have a professional espionage organization. In the nearly thousand years since the founding of the country, most of their intelligence came from the unsolicited provision of traffickers, soldiers, farmers, and merchants.

Demacia itself has no desire for territorial expansion. Its strategy has always focused on solid defense. From time to time, it also provides some eye drops and troubles to the Noxians. It is a rare "kind country" in Runeterra. In addition, Many countries in the world rely on the food exports of Demacians, so in terms of intelligence, Demacia has followed the royal line of "getting the right, getting more help".

It cannot be said that Demacia is all a good person, but at least it can be said that they all rely on peers to support them.

This trick is very useful when dealing with Valoran matters, but it is not very effective when focusing on the Ionian war - the long distance makes it difficult to transmit information, and the chaotic situation in Ionia makes it even more difficult. First-hand information lacks accuracy.

Even with the fastest ship in Demacia, a trip from White Cliff City through the Valoran Strait to Ionia would take more than three months - and this does not take into account the Noxian blockade. Down.

Therefore, despite the fact that the Demacians have taken out many refugees from Ionia, Demacia can only make guesses about the specific situation in Ionia.

It is precisely for this reason that even if part of the northern region suffered frost damage, the Crownguard family's fiefdom tax was not reduced or reduced - Demacia needs to be prepared for war, in case the Noxians just pretend to attack and actually attack. Are we still going to take action against Demacia?

Pretending to go to war with other countries, and then launching a sneak attack while Demacia relaxed its vigilance, this kind of thing has been done many times in the history of Noxus!

Look at the cities on Shurima's north shore that have surrendered to the Noxians!

When almost every city changed its flag, the Noxians staged a siege with loud thunder and light rain. As long as there was a little negligence on Demacia's side, Triwell or the old gatekeeper would The Noxians will attack with their entire army and fight undeclared...

Fortunately, on the day of Galen's "parade", the latest information was finally sent back to Demacia after several twists and turns.

Through multiple intelligence comparisons and multiple analysis by staff, it is finally confirmed that the Noxians have indeed invested an unprecedented large-scale force in Ionia - the twenty battle groups are the main force rather than just a militia. , the Watching Sea Fleet all left the port.

This means that it may be difficult for the Ionians to hold on, but at the same time, Demacia's borders will be stable for a long time.

Therefore, at today's internal meeting, Demacia will discuss a specific countermeasure for this war.

……………………

"First of all, Your Majesty, I think it is impossible for the Noxians to turn around at this time." Unlike his submissive attitude when facing his wife, Pete has always been known for his courage to speak in internal meetings, "From what we have learned in Ionia, The information corroborates each other and shows that the Noxians have indeed devoted all their main battle groups to the war in Ionia - although a few battle groups have been transferred back recently, that should be due to the people from the north. The pressure is on, and counting the time, it’s time for those barbarians in the north to take action.”

"So, the scale of this war is far greater than the several landing battles in Shurima, right?" Jarvan III carefully looked at the map finally sent from Ionia, and stretched out his hand to mark the position of Weili. After a while, "Is this where the main fleet of the Noxians landed?"

"According to the information provided by the local rangers in Ionia, this is the case." Peter on the side also nodded, "But it's not just here. In addition to Weili in Navoli Province, Nongpu in Baru'e , Sandar in Shangzan, and Lycon in Zhiyun, there were Noxian landings."

"This is a truly grand gesture." Jarvan III looked at the login point with the sailboat symbol on the map and couldn't help pinching his eyebrows. "Are the Noxians really going to swallow it up in one fell swoop this time?" All of Ionia?"

"Objectively speaking, we lack the necessary information on this issue." Barrett was still cautious and rational. "However, Your Majesty, I also have such doubts, because when the Noxians attacked Shurima in the past, , they never arrogantly attacked with multiple points."

"It was the same even when they captured Bergun." Peter added, "That time, the Noxians only dispatched one fleet, and it was mainly responsible for the task of transporting troops - but this time, the entire Noxian fleet was Thass's navy in the Sea of ​​Watch has almost been outnumbered, which has even led to the rapid increase in the scale of piracy in Bilgewater, and many merchants in Piltover are complaining that the Sea of ​​Watch has become very dangerous."

"Will they succeed?" Jarvan III looked at Xin Zhao, who had been silent, "Are the compatriots in your hometown as brave as you?"

"They are braver than me." Xin Zhao licked his dry lips, "The Noxians have encountered heroic resistance, but when my fishing boat was seized, I immediately became a prisoner. Sent to the Noxian gladiatorial arena."

"That's not your fault." Jarvan III couldn't help but shook his head when he heard this, "You should understand what I mean. If - I mean if, Ionia cannot resist Noxus' attack, then wait until When that evil beast swallows your hometown and digests it completely, the entire Runeterra will be placed on his dining table."

"That's impossible." Xin Zhao also shook his head and said firmly, "The Noxians may win, but I believe that Ionia cannot completely fall."

"... I hope so." Jarvan III was silent for a moment and exhaled, "But thinking about the Noxians' arrogance after they obtained Bergun and Uzeris, I think we need to come up with something. A plan to curb the spread of this evil."

"I already have some ideas about this." Speaking of this topic, Peter stood up again, "Now that it has been confirmed that the main force of the Noxians has moved westward, we should also take the opportunity to strengthen and transform our western defense line. That’s all.”

"Tell me more specifically?" Jarvan III took a deep look at the map of Ionia before returning to his throne. "Reinforcement is understandable, but what is transformation?"

"Offensive fortress, Your Majesty." Pitt said bluntly, "We cannot sit back and watch the Noxians gain a foothold in Ionia. Even if this despicable raid has worked, we must not allow this evil beast to be stable. Digest and prepare for the next forage!”

"So, when he opens his mouth and bares his teeth next time, we are going to give him a hard punch?" Jarvan III nodded, "I very much agree with this idea, but the problem is... we and Nok SARS is not bordering.”

This issue is quite embarrassing - for Demacia, not bordering Noxus means that there is a certain buffer area between the two sides. This should be a good thing for Demacia, which has a strategic defense posture.

But if Demacia takes action next time because of Noxus' actions, then this buffer area formed by small countries and city-states will become an obstacle to Demacia.

When Noxus is causing trouble, they can invade directly, but if Demacia does this, it will destroy the character. Although this is unfair, if Demacia really takes the initiative and invades these buffer areas, then I am afraid that the good image they have carefully maintained will collapse directly.

For Demacia, this is an unbearable burden!

"We can go... through the Gate of Sorrow." Peter hesitated for a moment, then made a suggestion that made everyone present frown, "Then go to Triwell."

"This is impossible." Barrett finally vetoed. "Crossing the Silver Mountains is not an easy task. The Noxians have proven this with their own failures."

"This is why I said that we need to transform the western defense line." Peter seemed to have been prepared for it. "As long as a series of transformations are carried out on the original basis of the Sorrow Gate Fortress, the difficulty of crossing the Shimmering Silver Mountains will be greatly reduced. We only have to face the relatively gentle southern foothills.”

As he spoke, Peter took out a map near the Gate of Sorrow, pointed to the terrain of the mountains, and explained his strategic vision: expand the Gate of Sorrow Fortress, then hoard more food and equipment, and build a highway along the ridge. The road reaches Jiayin Peak.

After arriving at Jiayin Peak, Demacia's army can gather strength and attack Darkwill through a narrow and gentle slope at the southern foot of the Silver Silver Mountains.

"If this is the case, it is theoretically feasible." Looking at Peter's schematic diagram, Barrett thought for a while and then nodded reluctantly, "But, Your Majesty, I must explain that this suggestion is really costly, even if We have water transportation support, but if we want to build a galloping road directly to Jiayin Peak, it will still consume a staggering amount of manpower and material resources."

"In terms of manpower and material resources... this requires detailed calculations." Jarvan III did not directly affirm or deny it, but talked about another aspect, "But what about after taking Trevel? I remember that once The royal family of Triwell is gone?”

"Yes, Your Majesty, when the Noxians captured Trivel, they killed all the nobles of the royal family." Barrett nodded, "We cannot help Trivel recover."

"That's really terrible." Jarvan III looked sad, as if he was very sad for the misfortune of the Trivel royal family. "It seems that after that, we need to build an additional line of defense to defend Trivel. OK?"

"I'm not too worried about this." Barrett finally smiled, "After driving away the brutal Noxians, the Trivel people will definitely be happy to help us - after all, this is also Defend their own home!"

"Then it's settled." Jarvan III touched his chin and finally made the decision, "The direction of Green Teeth Peak will still focus on defense, and at the same time strengthen and transform the Gate of Sorrow. If the Noxians don't stop For the atrocities they committed in Ionia, we will punish them in Trivel!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"It's a pity that Ionia doesn't have its own king, otherwise I would have to sign a joint statement with him..."

In this way, Demacia finally confirmed its attitude towards the Ionian War - although theoretically, it would take three days for the meeting of nobles to pass.

But judging from past experience, there are only two things the noble council can do about what Jarvan III has decided to do.

unanimously agreed.

Or object first and then be convinced.

There is no way, who will let His Majesty and the loyal Bouvier family and Crownguard family wear a pair of trousers?
