After taking the letter, Darius flipped through it one by one.
Among this pile of letters, half was written by Emenes and the other half was written by Queletta. Although Emnis's handwriting was not familiar to Darius, Queletta's handwriting was more familiar to him than anyone else.
After being infected by poisonous gas in Ionia, which resulted in the amputation of his right arm, Queletta's left-handed hand was originally developed with Darius's company.
This kind of left-hand handwriting that has been learned a lot is difficult to imitate even if it is a handwriting imitation master.
And judging from the contents of these letters... Queletta did convince Emnis.
Even this isn't the most exciting one.
What made Darius couldn't help but frown was that the most important thing about Queletta's convincing of Emnis was that she had received substantial support from Zaan.
According to Queletta, the Zaans helped Besilico repair the city wall and provided armor "enough to deal with the mages". According to the letter, as long as Emnis can stand up in Fendo,
A complete maritime supply line will be built directly. With this supply line, Besilico will have nothing to fear even if the Noxian army besieges the city!
Seemingly in order to gain Emnis' trust, Queletta also suggested that the other party "send a reliable person to take a look."
Judging from the follow-up feedback from Emnis, she indeed sent her cronies, and the result of the investigation was... She finally agreed to Queletta's suggestion, and vowed that "she would take the first step to get Fendo's war horse to breed."
base".
In other words, Emnis believes that what Queletta said is true.
Putting away the letter in silence, Darius finally looked at Swain in front of him.
"So, you killed Emnis?"
"She hopes that I can join them." A smile appeared on Swain's face, "But she obviously thought wrong. Even if I am wanted by the empire, I will still be loyal."
"You? Loyal?" Darius snorted noncommittally, "So, why did you come to me? I can't speak in the Immortal Fortress. Even if in my personal opinion, your behavior may be somewhat related to loyalty, but
I’m afraid your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief, may not agree.”
"Then you will be the commander-in-chief." Swain chuckled, as if he didn't care, and said something that stunned Darius, "The empire has reached the edge of danger. If Darkwill is allowed to
If you continue to operate carelessly, this great country may soon fall apart."
"It's precisely because of people like you who don't respect orders that the empire is in this situation!" Darius stood up suddenly and put a sharp ax directly on Swain's neck. "Don't try to bewitch me.
For the sake of bringing Draven back, I allow you to leave safely."
"I no longer care about my own life or death!" Swain stretched out his thumb and wiped the blade of Darius' battle ax. "Now I only care about Noxus - Darius
, your ax needs to be sharpened, the blade is dull."
"It's enough to be able to kill people!" Darius narrowed his eyes, "Swain, what on earth are you going to do?"
"I want to bring order to the chaos." Swain puffed out his chest and said fearlessly, "The General is no longer able to lead the empire forward. Today, Noxus has reached the edge of critical survival."
"Now that the empire has failed in Ionia, Besilico has rebelled, and the empire has started a civil war again, that is the real crisis of survival."
"Then get rid of this rebellion quickly!" Swain said decisively, "Besilico doesn't know that Fendo has been controlled by me. As long as the inside and outside cooperate, this city will definitely fall!"
……………………
While Swain was taking Draven to secretly meet with Darius, in the city of Besilico, Queletta was arranging a premeditated assassination.
Queletta's adjutant Infertia took out several maps and distributed them one by one to the assassins hired by the Duren family.
After several assassins took over the map, they quickly recognized the content on the map - it was a simple topographic map near Besilico.
Due to the limited map size, the descriptions on the map are very brief, and there is only one target location where the route and location are extremely clear.
"Black Rock Lake." Queletta raised his chin with one hand, his eyes flickering, "Darius's army is about to surround Besilico. Before that, you must go to Black Rock Lake to hide."
The assassins all had some doubts in their hearts, but because of their professionalism, they did not ask about their doubts.
"Darius will go to Black Rock Lake." Queletta said firmly, "As soon as he gets there, you will work together to take him down and capture him alive - forget it, life or death."
After waving his hand, Queletta shook his head slightly and let these people leave.
"Darius did come in person." After watching several assassins leave, Infertia finally said, "But is it really useful to just rely on a few assassins?"
"We have to try." Queletta's eyes were misty, "Black Rock Lake... Darius will go."
Hearing what Queletta said, Infertia was quite surprised.
"What is that place? I've never heard of it."
"A small natural lake." Queletta seemed to have remembered something when he mentioned this topic, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, "It's all in the past - as people get older, they can't help but think of it.
Once upon a time, since he returned to his long-lost hometown, he would probably revisit his hometown, right?"
When Infertia heard this, she couldn't help but frown - she always felt that her mother seemed to have a lot of things that she didn't say, and based on her understanding of her, she didn't seem to want to tell her these things at all.
Pouting her lips, Inftiya did not continue to struggle with this issue, but talked about another matter.
"There is news from Fendo. Emnis is ready to provide support." She handed a letter to Queletta, "Emnis has taken control of the Fendo Chapter and the port.
also included in the control.”
"Okay!" Hearing this, Queletta excitedly slapped the table with one arm and stood up suddenly, "Besilico and Fendo, as long as they are in favor of each other, even if Darius personally leads the army, he can only
I look forward to it and sigh, but I am helpless!"
"Does a distance of three hundred miles count as a rivalry?" Infertia, who had never been on a battlefield, looked at the map in surprise, with a puzzled look on her face, "Even with the help of sea transportation, we can support each other.
It will take at least three days, right?"
"Why can't it be a turning point!" Queletta smiled, "The three-day trip is indeed inconvenient, but the Noxian navy has almost lost all its losses in Talu Bay. If Darius wants to go to Findor
, we must go through the foothills of the Grand Barrier Mountain. We have personally explored that road. If the battle group passes through, it will not be completed in thirteen days!"
Infertia blinked her eyes, seeming a little enlightened.
"As long as we join forces with Fendo, rely on the advantage of sea transportation, mobile defense, plus the newly repaired city wall, and the forbidden magic stone armor that is enough to resist spells... this battle will be won without a doubt!"
