Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

When Demacia came to the precipice of the civil war, on the Noxus side, the Immortal Fortress and Besilico reached a staggering ceasefire agreement. Besilico, who had the upper hand, actually accepted the Immortal Fortress. ceasefire agreement, which is something that almost everyone did not expect.

So, how did Vladimir and LeBlanc make Darius and Swain give up a good situation and choose a temporary truce?

In fact, it is very simple. All they have to do is to show their strength, prove to Swain that they have the ability to defeat everything, and then tell Swain that civil strife in Demacia is imminent, and now is the best opportunity for Noxus to unify Valoran. If this opportunity is missed, it will be extremely difficult for Noxus to continue to expand in the future.

You can think of us as worms in the empire, and we won’t deny it, but don’t you Darius and Swain love Noxus?

Since you love Noxus, can you still sit back and let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip away from you?

Considering that the Black Rose has been holding back the Empire, it was a bit disgusting for LeBlanc to say such words. Darius almost wanted to swing an ax on the spot after hearing this, but the rational Swain But after a brief silence, he said that the two sides could indeed talk.

Regardless of Black Rose's stance, LeBlanc's words are actually correct. If Demacia is about to fall into civil war, this will indeed be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Noxus.

Swain knows better than anyone how serious the consequences of internal chaos are.

Although Noxus has always given priority to military expansion, if they really set up their formations and put their troops against their generals, they would not be able to defeat Demacia - there are natural barriers such as Green Teeth Peak and Mourn's Gate, and there are forbidden demons. With city walls and fortresses made of stone, Demacia is simply as difficult to deal with as it is in the defensive battle.

Over the years, Noxus and Demacia have been fostering puppets to fight against the Principality of Valoran, and rarely end it personally. The Demacians do this because they are unwilling to interfere too much in other people's internal affairs, and Noxus They do this because that's all they can do.

If possible, the Noxians really hope to send troops to occupy Demacia and completely own that fertile land. However, the problem is that they cannot defeat Demacia. Every time they attack Demacia, they will fail.

Over time, even Noxus, which has always been strong externally, recognized Demacia's status as a great power and would treat Demacia-related issues with caution.

It was precisely because of the failure of westward expansion that Noxus later adopted the strategy of going south to win over Shurima and moving east to attack Ionia. It barely managed to create a navy to carry out landing battles and raids. In the final analysis, it's all because they can't get enough of Demacia.

But now, Demacia, which has always been united, is suddenly experiencing civil strife. As LeBlanc said, this is a God-given opportunity for Noxus that cannot be missed!

Out of rational and patriotic considerations, Swain reluctantly suppressed his disgust for the Black Rose. While sending war masons to understand the situation in Demacia, he began to argue with LeBlanc at the negotiation table about a "possible armistice agreement." "open discussion.

During this period, the front line still maintained a state of confrontation.

Then, when Swain and LeBlanc reluctantly reached a trivial consensus, the War Stonemason brought back a lot of news from the Demacia people. It turned out that the struggle between the king and the nobles led to the emergence of the two-crop tax, and the royal family His reputation among the people of Demacia has plummeted, and many civilians are dissatisfied with the royal family and lords.

The message from the War Masons is very important.

Demacia's elite military system destined their local garrison to be dominated by militias and private armies. Once the royal family loses the support of the people and the lords no longer loyal to the king, in the face of an invasion, as long as Noxus does not look like In Ionia, there are no taboos on burning, killing, looting, etc., so the resistance they face will be much smaller!

It can be said that the news brought back by the War Stonemason made Swain truly examine the possibility of winning a surprise war against Demacia.

As a result, after careful consideration and calculation, Swain believed that the probability of Noxus winning if a raid was launched when Demacia was internally unstable... was almost zero.

Yes, although Demacia is already in this state, in Swain's opinion, if Noxus invades at this time, Demacia will quickly unite, eliminate conflicts, and face the enemy together, and After the raid period, Demacia's depth will completely hold back Noxus. Once they accumulate enough strength to launch a counterattack, Noxus, which has been extremely weak after many years of civil war, may not be able to defeat Noxus. Not enough to support a lengthy tug of war.

"So, if you have any other means, bring them out." After analyzing the situation, Swain returned to the negotiating table and resumed his aggressive posture. "If that's all, then I would rather take advantage of Germany's When the Marcians are unable to intervene, eliminate the hidden dangers within the empire that should not exist."

Obviously, Swain means that if you can't come up with some way to reverse the situation, he will still choose to persist in the civil war, wipe out the Black Rose first, and then wait for Noxus' national strength to recover-at worst, he will fight Ioni again. Ya!

Swain's attitude was very rude, but LeBlanc seemed to have expected this rudeness. Facing Swain's threat, she smiled and mentioned an unexpected thing.

"Swain, have you ever heard of Soul Eater Night?"

"Soul Eater Night?" Swain narrowed his eyes, "The ghost festival of the sea rats in Bilgewater?"

"No, no, no, that is not the Ghost Festival, but the real Soul-Eating Night." LeBlanc shook his head slightly, "During the Soul-Eating Night, the undead souls will wander around the world and destroy everything they see.

"so?"

"On this year's Soul Eater Night, the undead will bring a little surprise to Demacia." LeBlanc's tone was like a child expecting an adult to bring him a gift when traveling far away. "I'm really curious, Demacia Can the tall city walls stop the erosion of the black mist?"

"The Soul-Eating Night has never attacked Demacia in the past." Swain's mood did not fluctuate in the slightest because of the other party's tone. "How do I know that this year's Soul-Eating Night will erode Demacia?" ?”

"It's enough for you to know." LeBlanc obviously didn't intend to tell Swain how he got the news. "Anyway, you have a lot of little crows, and they will always bring the news back."

This is true. Under Swain's instructions, some war masons have entered Demacia. Although they cannot act unscrupulously and spy on intelligence here, if something big like the Dark Mist City on Soul-Eating Night happens, they will The news will be passed to Swain as soon as possible.

"I want to see Soul Eater Night." Swain still refused to let go, "I don't believe you."

"Even if it would cost Noxus a golden opportunity?"

"At least prevent Noxus from being destroyed."

"Okay, maybe we can each take a step back." LeBlanc put on a helpless look, "If the civil war breaks out in Demacia, we will prepare for a truce. This is a good opportunity that cannot be missed!"

"Are you so sure that a civil war will break out in Demacia?"

"Of course, because I will do it myself."

Eventually, after stipulating the relevant ceasefire agreement in great detail and establishing unreliable but effective communication channels, a temporary alliance was formed that lacked trust but was at least functional.

Then, when Vladimir and LeBlanc, who transformed into the Godin couple, completely stirred up the flames of the civil war, Noxus suspended the civil war and went straight to the Western Front battlefield as agreed.

Demacia knew nothing about the Noxians' actions.

Both the royal family and the nobility are now preparing for the worst case scenario - Jarvan III has begun to mobilize the army and consolidate military power, while the noble lords are working hard to expand their private armies to avoid being wiped out by the royal family.

Then, just when Jarvan III summoned military generals loyal to the royal family and planned to put some military pressure on the nobles, Soul Eater Night came.

……………………

In the past, Demacia's southwest coast would occasionally be eroded by black fog, and a few unlucky fishermen would be sucked into the black fog and never come back.

For most Demacians, Soul Eater Night is a completely unfamiliar word that they have never heard of.

Soul Eater Night?

What is that?

The Demacians, who had never seen Soul Eater Night, had no idea what the black mist on the sea represented, and they had no idea to avoid it.

So, when the eerie black fog spread from the sea and completely enveloped many coastal cities, including Dornhold, many Demacians even curiously entered the black fog—— And their results are naturally gone forever.

Not only the curious Demacians, but also the private armies just gathered by the lords from various places were also swallowed directly by the black mist and eventually disappeared without a trace. Until some people wearing forbidden magic stone armor barely escaped from the undead. After the soldiers returned, everyone realized that there were still a large number of deadly undead hidden deep in the black mist.

According to the survivors' descriptions, these undead are bloodless and look like skeletons. They come in a mighty force in the black mist, like a different kind of wave. They will actively attack the living and drag them into the dark. In the depths of the fog, and in the depths of the black fog, there seems to be something special that can transform the living into walking corpses like these undead.

Such horrifying news obviously cannot be concealed. After hearing that the Forbidden Demon Stone can restrain the undead, a large number of frightened coastal residents poured into the towns protected by the Forbidden Demon Stone walls. The entire Demacia The Southwest was in a state of severe panic.

However, the advancement of the black mist will not be diverted by human will. As panic spreads, the black mist finally fills the Bay of the Capital City, and the rolling black mist climbs the Demacia Capital City for the first time. City wall!

Although the city wall of the Forbidden Demon Stone restrained the black fog to a great extent, and the fog could not cross the city wall and enter the Xiongdu City, but standing on the top of the city, the entire Xiongdu City became dark at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Anyone who sees this situation of black clouds pressing down on the city will be filled with fear.

In order to stabilize the situation, Jarvan III had to send out the newly assembled army and let the soldiers stand fully armed on the city wall to guard against the invisible enemies. He himself also frequently gave public speeches in the grand square to boost morale and Public confidence - Jarvan III found the origin of the Soul-Eating Night from the royal collection, and introduced it to the people, telling them that it was a "natural phenomenon" on the sea and would disappear on its own after a while.

However, the black mist did not subside on its own initiative as Jarvan III thought. Instead, it became thicker and more palpitating.

And as the black fog continued to spread, the eastern part of Xiongdu was also surrounded by black fog. The communication between the city and the outside world was also interrupted, and the entire city became a terrifying island.

You know, in a big city like Xiongdu, many supplies depend on the input from the outside world. Once isolated from the inside and outside, supplies will soon be insufficient. Unless Jarvan III directly opens the warehouse to release grain, as the price of food soars, many citizens will They will all fall into the dilemma of running out of food!

In this case, the Angel of Justice finally took action.

With the idea that "mortals have proven that they cannot solve the black fog by relying on their own strength, taking action at this time can show the glory of the gods", Kyle spread out his golden wings and flew to the top of the city, waving his hands to burn like Moses parting the sea. The sharp blade holding the holy flame seemed to split the black mist into two!

As the holy flames streaked through the air, the black mist dimmed a bit visibly to the naked eye, and many soldiers who saw this scene cheered excitedly.

The Wing Sisters are indeed protecting Demacia as always!

Seeing many people reciting the glory of the gods, a smile appeared on the corner of Kyle's mouth. She flapped her wings and crossed the city wall, raising the sharp blade in her hand high. This time, she increased her strength and More holy flames are poured into the sharp blade, intending to strike a stronger blow at the black mist, using miracles to prove to the people that only gods can protect Demacia!

However, when Kyle swung his sword down for the second time, the black mist in front of her was not as dim as last time. Instead, it became thicker and rolled actively.

Just when Kyle couldn't help but frown, an extremely rich voice sounded like thunder, echoing in the endless black mist.

"Look what I saw." The voice was full of mockery. If Lux were here, she would be surprised by how similar it is to Kalya, "A hybrid bred between a giant god and a human - it's really hard to believe I believe that some people will actually have physiological reactions to those irregular meteors in the sky."

Along with this taunt, there was also a jet-black sharp blade. This sharp blade emerged from the black mist and accurately held Kyle's blade. Then, with a sudden force, Kyle was connected to her blade. , smashed together on the city wall of Xiongdu.

"Why, after the giant god licked his wounds, is he planning to stretch out your dog paws again?"

Kalya’s small classroom·different situation:

Although the situation in Runeterra does not seem much different from when Kalya had not been here, under the water, there are many people and dark descendants whose fate has been changed, and they have taken some secret actions.

The Shadow Island is no longer an unlucky country destroyed by an infatuated hapless man - the Shadow Island itself carries a greater mission.
