After the trip to Mithril City, I returned to Lux in Forsbarrow, and my life was back on track again.
During her time in Mithral City, a lot of work had been piled up in terms of Archon education, canal excavation projects, and clerk organization and management, which made Lux work a lot of overtime - when she again
When I received the news from Mithril City, a week had passed.
The Dragon Bird Knight brought a letter from Galen. The letter said that the general order in Mithril City had been restored and that Polgar would become the acting commander of the Second Legion. By the time Lux received the letter, he should have already
Set off on the journey, leading the fearless vanguard warriors back to their base.
In addition, Galen also said that if he had time, he would go to Forsbarrow to visit, mainly to help his mother see if his dear sister's fiefdom was "as deserted as the legend says."
Although Galen's choice of words and sentences in this paragraph were normal, Lux was keenly aware of the meaning of gloating in it. After all, she had reported her brother to her mother Ogesha before. It was foreseeable that when Galen returned home,
Ogesha will definitely "teach" him a lot, so in retaliation, Galen will definitely find ways to let himself enjoy some of his mother's advice.
But obviously, Galen's revenge is destined to be impossible to succeed. Not to mention that Mrs. Ogesha has no time to leave the capital recently. Even if she leaves the capital, Lacus will still have the confidence to let her have confidence in her.
Life is satisfying.
I'm not you, stupid brother!
With a subtle arc at the corner of her mouth, Lux finally put down the letter in her hand. Then, just as she carefully put it back into the envelope and tucked it into her own letter storage notes, Kalya suddenly spoke.
"Stop grinning like that stupidly - don't you feel something is wrong?"
"Ah?" Lux, who was happily humming a tune, blinked her eyes and her hands froze, "What?"
"I mean, didn't you notice anything wrong with Galen's letter?"
Lux was stunned, then quickly took out the letterhead, starting with the wax paint, and carefully studied the content and handwriting on it, but she was still confused.
"I didn't find anything wrong with it." She spread the letter on the table blankly, "It was indeed written by my brother."
"I mean the content of the letter." Seeing that Lux seemed to have misunderstood what he meant, Kalya explained helplessly, "Look at Mithral City's handling of the aftermath of the war, don't you feel a sense of violation?
?”
Hearing what Kalya said, Lux blinked a little strangely - although she didn't know what the sense of disobedience Kalya was talking about, she still started from the beginning and read the letter again carefully, and then
, she really found something wrong.
"Bogar seems to be less than thirty years old this year, right?" Lux recalled carefully, "Although he is only the acting commander of the Second Army of the North, according to the kingdom's practice, as long as he does not commit any crimes during the one-year acting period,
The problem will be corrected naturally later on.”
"That's right."
"So, he will become Demacia's first legion commander under the age of thirty?" Lux was finally a little surprised, "Even if the Second North Legion is a garrison legion, it is also a large legion that oversees more than ten thousand regular troops.
, just handed it over to Polgar?"
"Not only that." Kalya added, "Galen has now returned with the Fearless Vanguard, which means that the defense battle of Mithril City has ended here, and during the whole process, you can think about the situation in Xiongdu.
What have you done?”
Hearing what Kalya said, Lux finally narrowed her eyes.
During the entire battle of Mithral City, Henchal reported to the direction of the capital as soon as the Winter's Claw went south, and as usual, he requested the nearest elite armed forces - the Dauntless Vanguard under Galen's command.
support.
After Galen received the news and confirmed that the invasion of Freljord was true, he mobilized mobile forces and began to support Mithril City. Then the hammer and anvil tactics failed.
Rowe and Owendale sent letters requesting support.
In response, Lux brought Galio and the Archon to provide personal support, while Owendale provided support with a small group of dragon and bird knights. The three northern towns also acted as a watch and help.
When the two sides mobilized troops to support, the loser destroyed the dam and flooded Mithril. Then Lux's divine soldiers descended from the sky and struck halfway across the river, beating the Winter's Claw to the point where the wind roared and the trees and grass became soldiers.
Later, in the chaos, Kalya cleverly used a series of tricks to cause internal divisions among the nobles of the Crown Guard branch of Mithral City. When Lux left, she also took more than 10,000 people with her.
As an important participant in this battle and the biggest beneficiary, Lux, who was in the game, subconsciously put herself into her own perspective when reviewing the battle of Mithral City, so she did not realize there was any problem at first.
.
However, after Kalya's reminder, she was surprised to find that Xiongdu should have received news about Mithral City as early as the beginning of the battle, but until now the war is completely over, Galen led the team to leave, and Xin
The commander-in-chief of the Second Northern Army was appointed as an exception, and Xiongdu did not provide any substantial support.
This is very abnormal!
Even when Henchal first asked for help, Xiongdu's judgment was that "with the support of the fearless vanguard, defending the city will not be a problem", but they should not completely stand still - not to mention that shortly after that, Mithril City
It was flooded, and the situation in the entire northern border was in danger!
As the key to the North, Mithril City, the Pearl of the North, is undoubtedly of great significance to Demacia. If Mithril City is destroyed, then the Freljord barbarians will really want to go south.
He went south casually, so as long as Jarvan III does not have Alzheimer's disease, there is absolutely no way he can just sit back and watch Mithril City be destroyed!
After realizing this, Lux quickly remembered a chat between herself and Galen when they were in Mithril City - at that time, because Galen "no matter how big or small, she always decides with her sister", Lux told Galen
He complained a few words, and then Galen hurt each other because people as old as Lux had no plans to get married.
Considering that Galen was much older than herself, Lux naturally couldn't forgive him and retorted on the spot, "You have already rushed forward on the battlefield as soon as you are old. This year, I will definitely remind my mother to find a sister-in-law for myself."
Hearing what Lux said, Galen became anxious, so after thinking for a moment, he seriously began to ask Lux if he had any thoughts about becoming the queen of Demacia. According to his speculation, the reinforcements from Xiongdu are already on the way.
Well, the person in charge of the commander-in-chief is most likely your brother Jiawen. You guys haven’t seen each other for a long time...
Before he could finish speaking, Galen was thrown out of the room by his sister.
For Lux, this is just a small episode. After becoming Count Laxana, her parents can no longer control her marriage. It is already a matter for the Laxana family in the future.
However, looking back at this letter now... Galen did not mention Xiongdu's reinforcements at all in his letter.
Although it takes time to assemble troops and move troops north, even if Xiongdu had already begun preparations when the water flooded Mithril, by the time the army arrived in the north, the battle would have been over long ago.
Of course, this does not mean that the support army will turn around and return after hearing the follow-up information - under normal logic, the second army of Misilin City suffered heavy losses, and Xiongdu's reinforcements should have arrived at Misilin City
After that, reorganize together with the remaining Second Army Corps, and then leave a fully equipped Second Army Corps.
Moreover, Galen's judgment at the time was actually correct. The most likely commander of the reinforcements heading north was Jarvan IV.
Jarvan III is getting older and his energy is getting weaker and weaker. It is already a matter of time before Jarvan IV takes the throne. According to the tradition of the Lightshield family, which has always been close to the army, in order to let Jarvan IV
Better control of the army, this opportunity to lead the army on an expedition is definitely not to be missed.
After all, in Demacia, military merit is the clearest way to promotion. If you seize the army, you not only seize the barrel of the gun, but also seize part of the personnel power!
If the king wants to rule stably, he must control the army and establish his prestige in the military. Therefore, no matter what aspect he considers, Jarvan IV should not miss this war!
However, Galen did not mention reinforcements or Jarvan IV at all in his letter, and in a very unusual move, Polgar took over as the commander-in-chief of the Second Army of the North...
Could it be that Xiongdu didn’t send any reinforcements at all?
After this idea appeared, Lux instinctively felt a kind of absurdity. Jarvan III was not a foolish lord. He could not sit back and watch Mithril City suffer any loss. How could he not send troops to support it?
But judging from the results, he may not have sent any troops at all!
After realizing this, Lux finally understood the seriousness of the problem. She quickly wrote a letter to Polgar, ostensibly congratulating him on succeeding her uncle as the commander of the Second Northern Army. In fact, she
Instead, he asked for news of Xiongdu's support in a circumstantial manner.
After writing, she carefully covered it with fire paint, and then asked someone to notify Shyvana, asking her to quickly send the letter to Mithril and give it to Polgar.
Four days later, Shyvana brought back a reply from Mithral City.
Lux opened the letter and took a quick look at it, and then received a shocking piece of news.
Even though Mithril City almost fell and Winter's Claw almost marched in, Xiongdu didn't send even a single reinforcement!
Therefore, the current Lux is no longer the ignorant little girl who relied solely on Kalya's analysis in the past - she knows very well that for such a thing to happen, something big must have happened in Xiongdu, big enough to ignore the secret.
News of the disaster in Yincheng!
After realizing this, she immediately wanted to write a letter to her mother.
But after hesitating for a moment, she looked up at Shyvana.
"I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you again."
……………………
Shyvana accepted Lux's mission and went to Xiongdu to find out the news.
But this time, she was no longer alone.
Although Lux can't leave, this time Kalya will go with her.
Because she knows nothing about politics, Shyvana still cannot fully understand all the logic behind this, but after hearing that Kalya will act with her, she still clearly feels the seriousness of the problem.
You know, this is a critical period for canal construction before spring. Now that Karya leaves, the entire project schedule may be greatly affected, or even postponed overall.
But he will still act with himself.
This shows the seriousness of the problem.
"Let's go, little Xixi." Just when Sivana was a little nervous, Kalya suddenly said, "Don't be so nervous, the teacher is here!"
The name "Little Xixi" is the nickname given to Shyvana by Kalya. Sometimes Kalya is very scheming, and sometimes she is very naive. Since she didn't understand much of Shyvana's dark history, Kalya simply chose
He used nicknames to tease Shyvana, which made Shyvana quite helpless - but although she resisted the nickname on the surface, deep down, she actually quite liked the nickname Kalya gave herself.
of.
Laxana's nickname is Lax, Sona and Ino's names are simple and do not need nicknames, and Shyvana's name comes from her mother, Ivar - Shyvana does not like this name
.
But Xiao Xixi is different. According to Shurima's language logic, Xiao Xixi actually means "nannan". It is a nickname that is a bit naive for children, but is just right for Shyvana.
Although Kalya did not raise Shyvana, he was Shyvana's teacher, his spiritual father who educated her in magic and allowed her to learn to function in human society with a normal mentality.
So, when Kalya opened her mouth and it was Xiao Xixi, Sivana snorted expressionlessly, but the previous nervousness gradually dissipated.
"Let's go, let's go!" Kalya continued, "Don't waste time, I don't want to be Lux's political advisor here, Xiongdu is still interesting..."
Facing Kalya's unabashed "disgust", Lark made an impolite gesture without any scruples.
However, when Shyvana suppressed her smile and turned around to leave, Lux's extended middle finger quietly turned into a thumb.
This guy Kalya...Although he always likes to use some very shameful and embarrassing methods, it is undeniable that when he does it as a teacher, it is often very effective.
Use ridicule to eliminate tension, use expectation to eliminate pressure. When this method was used on herself in the past, Lacus had no clear feeling, but later she watched Kalya use this method to comfort Ino, educate Sona, and guide Shiva.
Na, Lux really admires her.
If you think about it carefully, when Kalya plots against his enemies, his plans are so coherent and vicious that sometimes even himself, the executor, can't help but stand on end; but for his own people, he can always turn things into spring breezes and moisturize things silently.
