When Demacia came to the precipice of the civil war, on the Noxus side, the Immortal Fortress and Besilico reached a shocking ceasefire agreement. Besilico, who had the upper hand, actually accepted the Immortal Fortress.
The ceasefire agreement was something that almost no one had thought of.
So, how did Vladimir and LeBlanc make Darius and Swain give up the good situation and choose a temporary truce?
In fact, it's 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 the empire's worms, and we won't deny it, but don't you Darius, you Swain love Noxus?
Since you love Noxus, how 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 golden opportunity for Noxus.
Swain knows better than anyone how serious the consequences of internal chaos are.
Even though Noxus has always prioritized military expansion, if they really set up their formations and pitted their troops against their generals, they would not be able to defeat Demacia - with the natural barriers of Green Teeth Peak and the Gate of Sorrow, and the forbidden demons
With city walls and fortresses made of stone, Demacia is simply as difficult to deal with as it is to defend itself.
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, while 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."
"Start the discussion.
During this period, the front line still maintained a state of confrontation.
Then, when Swain reluctantly reached a negligible consensus with LeBlanc, 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 mainly 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 surprise attack 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 long tug of war.
"So, whatever means you have, bring them out." After analyzing the situation, Swain once again returned to his aggressive posture when he came to the negotiating table. "If this is 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. Faced with 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.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "So?"
"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 go on a trip to bring him a gift. "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 at all because of the other party's tone. "How do I know that this year's Soul-Eating Night will invade Demacia?"
?”
"It's enough for you to know." LeBlanc obviously did not intend to tell Swain about his source of information. "Anyway, you have many little crows, and they will always bring the information 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 take action myself."
Finally, after stipulating the relevant ceasefire agreement in great detail and establishing unreliable but still effective communication channels, a temporary alliance that lacked trust but was at least functional was established.
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 nobles 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 gloomy black mist spread from the sea and completely enveloped many coastal cities, including Dornhold, many Demacians even entered the black mist out of curiosity——
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, many were directly swallowed 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 darkness.
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 shocking news obviously cannot be concealed. After hearing that the Forbidden Stone can restrain the undead, a large number of frightened coastal residents poured into the towns protected by the Forbidden Stone walls. The entire Demacia
The entire 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 onto 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 was completely unable to cross the city wall and enter the Xiongdu City, but standing on the top of the city, the entire Xiongdu area became dark at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Anyone who sees this situation of the city being overwhelmed by dark clouds 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 thicker, making people more 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
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 mist by relying on their own strength, taking action at this time can show the glory of gods", Kyle spread out his golden wings and flew to the top of the city, waving his hands like Moses parting the sea.
The sharp blade burning with 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 intensity,
He poured more holy flames into the sharp blade, intending to strike a stronger blow at the black mist, and use 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 started to roll on its own initiative.
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 at 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 appeared from the black mist and accurately held Kyle's blade. Then, with a sudden force, Kyle was connected to her blade.
, and smashed them together on the city wall of Xiongdu.
"Why, after the giant licked its wounds, is it going to stretch out your dog paws again?"
