Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

When Lux and the first and seventh series of mages arrived outside Xiongdu City, it had been some time since the Plain Walkers had annihilated the Xiongdu Vanguard Army.

Until Lux and the Archon arrived at the gates of Xiongdu City, the garrison of Xiongdu did not receive any news - not because they were not careful enough in their martial law, but because Lux and the Archon had simply passed through the Shadow Realm. .

That's right, Lux, who had already planned it, took the Archon and walked to the Shadow Realm again after many years. With the support of Shyvana in Xiongdu, they successfully arrived at the predetermined location.

Spellcasters themselves have mobility that far exceeds that of ordinary people. Although they cannot run fast, on a long enough spatial scale, the advantages of light logistics and shortcuts possessed by spellcasters are enough to allow them to show far superiority to others at critical moments. Mobility of all arms.

Take this maneuver from Fosbarrow to Xiongdu as an example.

If you are not a spellcaster, if you want to travel through the Shadow Realm, you will always face the all-pervasive negative energy erosion. After the journey, the extraordinary will be exhausted.

And if you don't have the level of a transcendent, then traveling through the Shadow Realm requires someone to continuously apply BUFFs to dispel and neutralize negative energy, which consumes unimaginable magic power.

If you don't go to the Shadow Realm, even if there are only 200 people, the supplies needed along the way will be enough to cause a headache. This scale of supplies can no longer be solved by carrying them with you, and once there are special transportation vehicles, cities and checkpoints along the way The soldiers are not fools either.

Taking the water route looks good, but the problem is that even if the river fleet completely occupies the water control, they will not have the ability to land. After realizing that his navy cannot compare to Forsbarrow's river fleet, Jarvan IV ordered the ships to stay in In the port, shore defenses should also be strengthened - even though the small cannons of the river fleet can easily take down the small sampans of the Demacia navy, facing the heavy trebuchets in the port, no matter how advanced the small-caliber cannons are, they are far from powerful enough. .

As for flying...

The scale of Fosbarrow's air force is still very small. The Dragon Bird has perfectly inherited the elemental dragon's difficulty in reproducing and its long reproductive cycle. More than ten years are not enough for Fosbarrow to form a large-scale air force.

Therefore, only by taking advantage of the spellcaster and traveling through the Shadow Realm can Lux rush directly from Forsbarrow to the capital in a short time!

The only pity is that not all mages are capable of resisting the erosion of the Shadow Realm. In the end, Lux could only bring the first and seventh sequences to the gates of Xiongdu City.

The combat effectiveness of more than two hundred spellcasters is quite astonishing, but without other support, it is still impossible to capture the capital.

But... Lux had never thought about taking over Xiongdu from the beginning. In her plan, this would be a journey to change homes, but not exactly.

From Lux's perspective, she didn't know Tariq's location at this time.

Although the remaining silent people in Xiongdu are all useless to her, it is undeniable that they also control a "source of magic that looks like a fragment of the world's runes."

In addition, the Moon Sect and the Burning Sun Sect have also set up strongholds in Xiongdu. Lacus is not sure what they contain. In addition, there are still many garrison troops staying in Xiongdu. Lux has more than 200 The scale of an individual is destined to be untenable in Xiongdu.

Occupation is no longer possible.

However, there is a good chance of causing trouble.

Previously, the harassment of the river fleet in the Meilan River Basin forced Jarvan IV to give up water transportation, but now, Lux planned to give Xiongdu a little harassment and a little shock from Forsbarrow.

Lux has already read Heike's report.

Many of these judgments were in Lux's heart - including the part where it was best to avoid a head-on confrontation between the Northern Walkers and the Xiongdu Front.

However, when he received the report, Jarvan IV had already become cautious. Seeing that he began to adopt the same attitude as during the Battle of Tobitsia, he rested in Pinara City, hoarded supplies, and put on a good show. Lux felt a little bit of a headache from the posture of fighting.

If it was not a last resort, she really did not want to attack Pinara City. In her opinion, the best form of combat was for Jarvan IV to take the initiative.

But...how to get Jarvan IV to take the initiative?

After thinking about it, Lux believed that it would be difficult to implement the strategy of luring the enemy. The best way would be to put political pressure on Jarvan IV to force Jarvan IV to take the initiative.

Thinking along this line of thinking, Lux soon came up with an idea: If the capital city was attacked, could Jarvan IV still be able to linger here leisurely?

I have to say that when Lux is thinking about problems now, she has become more and more similar to Kalya.

In this way, when the two sides were in a standoff on the north and south banks of the 102 Canal, and neither seemed willing to take the initiative, Lux led the first and seventh series of mages through the Shadow Realm and quietly arrived outside the capital city.

As the most important political and commercial city in the entire central and southern Demacia, although the scale of the war is expanding, the capital has not yet entered a state of control.

In this city that Lux was very familiar with, the city gates were still open to welcome people coming and going. Compared with usual, there were more soldiers at the city gates checking people coming in and out, and their attitude was just a little stricter.

Great, that's what you want.

After confirming safety, Lux and the Dharma Protectors quickly started this special military operation in a ten-man team. That afternoon, twenty-three noble manors inside and outside Xiongdu City caught fire, and all the bonds of the manor owners were burned to the ground. .

Subsequently, a conclusive list of the dead spread throughout the streets, and rumors spread that Jarvan IV was defeated in the north and could only be trapped in the city of Pinara.

Then, after Silence and the Demon Searchers were dispatched together to search the entire city, the eagerly awaited soldiers and civilians of Xiongdu did not see even a single captured thief - in the end, there were only a few gossips who liked to spread gossip. Han was executed on charges of collaborating with the enemy.

As a last resort, Xiongdu was forced to declare martial law. At the same time, the garrison regiment remaining in Xiongdu also dispatched idle manpower to expand the scope of the search.

The result is naturally still nothing.

Because at this time, Lux and the Dharma Master had entered the Shadow Realm again and returned to Forsbarrow.

……………………

The scale of the chaos in Xiongdu was not large. It seemed that only twenty-three noble families had lost their money.

However, for the political situation in Xiongdu, which was already a stagnant water, this chaos seemed to have dropped a depth bomb, detonating the anxiety of the nobles.

For the nobles who did not know the situation on the front line, the enemy's coming and going freely gave them a huge sense of crisis. After some quarrels, the noble council finally decided to send a special envoy to talk to Jarvan IV.

We surrendered all our troops, so Your Majesty, you should protect our safety, right?

Now the enemies have come to Xiongdu to run wild, this is not a problem!

And this is what Lux hopes to see - Jarvan IV, who has consolidated military power, has the biggest weakness is the safety of other nobles. If the safety of other nobles is threatened, then he will bear great political pressure!

Before Jarvan IV gathered military power, the safety of nobles in various places depended on their own abilities, especially those on the border. If they were unlucky, they would have to take care of themselves.

But now, Jarvan IV annexed the private armies of the nobles, and later banned the private armies of the nobles. Although this allowed him to completely control the promotion channels of the Demacians and consolidate military power, he also gained one more additional responsibilities.

If you are capable, Jarvan IV, you will not care about the life or death of the nobles and continue to be a tortoise here!

So, can Jarvan IV not care about the life or death of the nobles?

the answer is negative.

Even if Jarvan IV knew that many nobles were bastards and only wanted to cause trouble, if he wanted to rule the huge Demacia Empire, he was destined to rely on these bastards in many ways.

Without the nobility, how could Jarvan IV rely on to achieve his rule?

Speaking more broadly, doesn't it depend on your status as a "noble leader" for the Lightshield family to become the royal family of Demacia?

To maintain the status of the nobility is to maintain the status of the royal family!

The conflict between the nobility and the royal family is the internal conflict of the ruler!

When the special envoy of the Noble Council arrived at Pinara, and then tactfully expressed the dissatisfaction of the Noble Council to Jarvan IV, His Majesty the Emperor remained calm on the surface, but in fact he was already scolding in his heart.

Aren’t the people from Forsbarrow clearly disgusting you?

If they were really as awesome as the messenger said, why didn't Xiongdu suffer any substantial damage at all?

This kind of unflattering harassment is just like assassination, which was once the favorite of Noxians. It's all about scheming!

However, due to the previous series of actions of Jarvan IV to centralize power, Lux's scheming seemed completely unsolvable at this time.

What can Jarvan IV do?

Write an open letter and tell all the nobles that saying Lux is contrary to the honor of the nobles. She is completely on the side of the common people. Don't be deceived by them?

It sounds like a good idea, but the last time Jarvan IV wrote an open letter and gained the support of the whole country to defeat the Noxians, the nobles lost their private army.

Embarrassing, very embarrassing.

What’s even more embarrassing is that compared to Jarvan IV, Lux seems to have a higher political credibility. If she hadn’t made a rebellious move and put the nobles on trial, I’m afraid many nobles might even be at odds with each other...

For a moment, Jarvan IV felt a little numb.

If you continue to confront the Northern Walkers, your logistics pressure will increase. However, due to the limitations of Demacia's system, the logistics of the counter-rebellion army relies heavily on the cooperation of the nobles. If the confrontation continues, the dissatisfaction of the nobles will gradually accumulate. If Lux makes another move, an embarrassing situation that is unsustainable may arise.

When the noble council came up with a resolution to "abandon the northern border and lead the army to protect it", Jarvan IV was not surprised at all.

And if you give up the confrontation with the Northern Walkers and take the initiative to attack, although you can show your sincerity and gain the support of the Noble Council, it will be quite disadvantageous militarily. If you take the initiative to attack the plateau, you will also have to face the people who are waiting for work. The enemy, Jarvan IV, did not think he could win easily.

For a moment, Jarvan IV seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma.

Even vaguely, he was a little envious of Lux - she had created such a huge battle in the north without any obvious internal conflicts. How come the noble council on his side didn't understand His Majesty the Emperor at all? What about hard work?

Then, just when Jarvan IV had a headache, the advisory elders of the Sun Sect and the Bright Moon Sect came together for a rare occasion.

These two were "special advisors" specially invited by Jarvan IV to get to know Plainswalker.

After learning some information about the Plainswalkers, Jarvan IV launched targeted training in Pinara, and then the two special advisors had no tasks.

Originally, Jarvan IV thought that they had left, but what he never expected was that not only did these two people not come, but they also came together and actively requested to see him.

The confused Jarvan IV met the two elders, and then, in their mouths, Jarvan IV, who was troubled by the euphemistic request of the special envoy of the Noble Council, unexpectedly received a document that looked very much like that. plan.

The plan is not complicated.

The Burning Sun Sect and the Moon Sect are willing to participate in countering the rebellion by bringing their own dry food, but as a price, they need to preach freely in Demacia, and the royal family and nobles cannot interfere with the power of preaching.

"It's like the Illuminati."

When Jarvan IV heard this, he was undoubtedly deeply moved.

The Illuminati was barely supported by Jarvan IV after a lot of effort. It was an organization that competed with the nobles for power at the grassroots level. Jarvan IV personally served as the cardinal, thus opening up another track and wresting it from the hands of the noble council. gained a lot of power.

If the Sect of the Sun and the Sect of the Moon could be the same as the Illuminati...

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Jarvan IV calmly asked his question.

"The Illuminati is quite experienced in this regard. If that's the case, then why don't the Burning Sun Sect and the Bright Moon Sect follow the local customs and join the Illuminati, become part of the Illuminati and enjoy the rights of the Illuminati?"

According to the wishes of Jarvan IV, the Solar Sect and the Lunar Sect can definitely join the Illuminati and become part of the Illuminati. In this way, you have the same rights as the Illuminati, whether it is freedom of preaching or non-interference in preaching. Whether you want to build churches freely everywhere, you must follow the Illuminati!

However, after all, the Sun Sect and the Moon Sect are not the Illuminati who can only rely on the royal family. Faced with the proposal of Jarvan IV, they firmly stated that we are different from the Illuminati and must not be included in such an organization.

In the end, after some back and forth, the two parties took a step back and reached a consensus - after all, the Sun Sect and the Bright Moon Sect are organizations that bring their own dry food. It is indeed not right to join the Illuminati. If joining is not possible, let's merge. .

Taking the intersection of the sun and the moon as twilight, and the brightness of the light as light, following the Great Reconciliation of the Century, the Sun Sect, the Moon Sect, and the Illuminati merged into one to form the Twilight Church!

Kalya's Little Class·Nasty Twilight:

The Twilight Titan does not have its own believers, because unlike other giants, in Twilight's eyes, it is not only the believers that it can use.
