Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Lux obviously still has a long way to go in terms of hardening her heart to be a political creature.

Even though she has always known that sometimes she must be ruthless in order to achieve better results, she still instinctively hopes to find a "road that has the best of both worlds."

Most of the time she found it.

This time in the Freljord, Lux finally had no choice - she could foresee the dilemma the Freljord would face after it shifted all its focus to trade, but she could not convince or stop Ashe.

In this situation, all she can do is "responsible for Demacia."

Although this made Lacus feel a little unhappy, as Kalya began to organize her treasures, Lacus quickly focused on the various objects that were being sorted.

These things opened her eyes.

Needless to say, many of them are considered precious magic props to Kalya. However, compared with these props whose materials are precious and difficult to reproduce, what really impressed Lux ​​were some that were not too precious and that Kalya Putting it in your own little world is just a gadget to facilitate your life and research.

Whether it's a teapot that makes tea automatically or a magic book that can quickly replicate magic circuits, she can't help but marvel at the exquisite designs - although the principles of these things are not complicated, and they belong to the kind of "don't see it, you can't see it, but you can't see it" "You can understand it at a glance" type, but such a simple design is almost not available in Demacia.

It is these simple designs that truly reflect the heritage of the former Shurima Empire as a magic empire.

Only by injecting magic into your life can these interesting and exquisite designs be born.

Even though Lux already knew very well what a once prosperous magical civilization represented, she was still surprised by these designs.

At this point, Demacia still has a long way to go. There is still a long way to go before magic can truly become a power closely related to everyone!

The cracks in the void beneath the abyss were closed bit by bit by the Malphites.

When the space barrier was finally completely restored and Kalya personally imposed a triple protective seal on it, the final finishing work of the Battle of the Howling Abyss was finally completed.

There were no accidents during the entire process, and the coalition forces stationed on alert could finally breathe a sigh of relief and prepare to return.

Except for a few Avarosans who will stay here permanently, most of the Northern Expedition will return via Tukugur, while the combat heroes who are about to participate in the alliance will go to Lakstaq with the Avarosans. .

As for Lux herself, she will go to Laxtak with these fighting heroes, settle them in and confirm the alliance time, then turn south and return to Demacia with the returning army.

The returning army will march along the Yiming River as it did when it set out. In addition to reducing the pressure on supplies, the more important goal is to continue to show Demacia's muscles to the Principality of Valoran along the Yiming River.

When the Northern Expedition was fighting in the Freljord, Demacia made great efforts to maintain the supply line of the Yiming River, and the purpose of doing so was not just to maintain the supply of the army.

This opened supply line along the river will become a commercial artery, connecting the eastern part of Demacia with the Principality of Valoran, and even Noxus - and in order to maintain the smooth flow of this artery, Demacia has It is necessary to repeatedly demonstrate one's force.

Moreover, don’t forget that this battle in Freljord was essentially Lissandra’s first move. Demacia “participated in the war at the request of allies”, which can prove Demacia’s reliability when facing allies. fighting.

As for whether this will cause uneasiness in the Principality of Valoran and the city-states...

Really not, because these little brothers sandwiched between Demacia and Noxus have long learned to clarify their positions in the long bipolar dispute, and they are in conflict with Noxus, who is constantly expanding its territory. Differently, Demacia has never made unnecessary requests for territory. Unless Demacia also starts to expand its territory later, this will not stimulate the nerves of the rulers of the Principality of Valoran and the city-states.

And don't forget, Lux is now the emperor of Demacia and the leader of the nobility. Even though she has tried many nobles before, this can be understood as "attacking the political enemies of the old aristocracy". In the eyes of the rulers of the Principality and city-states of Valoran, Here, Laxana is one of her own, and she is completely different from the Noxians!

To sum up, letting the Northern Expeditionary Army walk along the Yiming River after their victory can also bring more potential allies to Demacia. Considering that the politics and economy of the Principality of Valoran are often highly bound, this kind of display activity It's obviously a good thing that has all the benefits and no harm.

……………………

Saying goodbye to the Howling Abyss that roared day and night, and carefully passing through the glacial fissures, the Northern Expedition separated from the Avarosan army at Nerzayag, continued southward, and left the Freljord at Turkgol. Returned to Valoran.

Although in most eyes, the climate in the Black Forest region is not warm, but for these Northern Expeditioners who spent nearly a year in Freljord, even the gloomy black forest is not warm. It's like having a soft light filter, everything looks so harmonious and beautiful.

Thank God we are finally back!

After experiencing the Battle of Forkarodna, the Battle of the Diver Castle, and the Battle of the Howling Abyss, the Northern Expeditionary Army, which set off in high spirits at that time, returned to Turkgol with less than half of its original number. -Although some of them went to Rakstak, more of the Northern Expedition soldiers who failed to return rested on the land of Freljord.

Their achievements will be remembered in Demacia and will one day be known to everyone in Runeterra.

And these Northern Expeditionary troops, who have experienced the baptism of ice, fire, blood and void, will become the real backbone and support Demacia into the next era.

After briefly circling the Black Forest area, the army quickly continued southward and entered the Nokmach area, officially entering the Principality of Valoran's sight.

These elites from hundreds of battles are undoubtedly very eye-catching, especially those who "look like nobles." On the way back to the army, many nobles from the Principality of Valoran and the city-state even hoped to marry them. The valued combination of officers and soldiers of the Northern Expedition.

Lux, who returned from Luxtak, took a resigned attitude towards these requests, and everything depended on the opinions of the Northern Expeditionary Army officers themselves.

Therefore, there are some rejecters and many accepters.

Amid this joy, the Northern Expeditionary Army moved down the Yiming River, and finally returned to Green Teeth Peak, the gateway to the east of Demacia, after a year and three months.
