In the depth of winter, Falsbarrow and even the entire northern territory are visibly silent. The weather in southern Demacia is mild and spring-like all year round. However, the northern territory will be affected by Anivia's Breath due to its proximity to Freljord.
Affected by the aftermath of the epidemic, people are still reluctant to go out for activities in the cold winter.
Even though some residents of Forsbarrow and Xinfucheng have jobs in winter this year due to the promotion of hazelnut cultivation, overall, the entire northern border is still very peaceful and peaceful.
While Lux was learning an introduction to advanced elements, she also had a rare warm time - after the noble council and the royal family broke up, her parents finally had no choice but to leave the capital and return to Mithril City to live.
While there was nothing to do in the winter, Peter and Ogesha simply came to Forsbarrow to visit their daughter and her daughter's fief.
After saying goodbye to the capital, Lux had not seen her parents for three years. Naturally, she welcomed the arrival of Peter and Ogesha with both hands. The three of them spent a leisurely time in Forsbarrow, and Kalya also simply
Give Lux a winter vacation and let her enjoy this time with her parents.
In her spare time, Lacus once asked Peter and Ogesha about the situation in Xiongdu, and they gave exactly the same response to all of Lacus's questions: Don't worry about these, just focus on
It's good for the development of the territory.
In fact, the situation and status of the Crown Guard family in this political turmoil is undoubtedly very embarrassing.
Within the Parliament of the Nobles, the royalist Crown Guard family is inclined towards the royal family. Peter and Jarvan III have a very close relationship. The two of them can be considered young. From the time they wore crotchless pants, Peter has been Jarvan III's die-hard younger brother.
However, after Jarvan III's plan to centralize power was exposed, regardless of Peter's personal relationship with the old king, he had to stand from the perspective of the patriarch and consider the Crownguard family.
The Crownguard family has a vast fiefdom in the north, and it is precisely because of this large fiefdom that the Crownguard family can support so many branches.
Yes, most of the side branches of the Crown Guard family are arrogant and fat-headed rice bugs who dominate the fiefdom. But if one day, the clan of the Crown Guard family declines due to various reasons, these rice bugs are the hope of the family's future revival - and
The fiefdom is the foundation of maintaining this hope.
The loyal Peter could throw his own life and blood in order to suppress the side families, but like other nobles, he could not accept the full centralization of power by Jarvan III.
If the rights and interests of the fiefdom are recovered in large quantities, the heritage of the noble family will be greatly weakened, and the ability to resist risks will be extremely reduced. These are things that a qualified patriarch of a noble family cannot accept.
But at the same time, loyalty also made Pitt unable to accept the rebellious behavior of other noble families who went to Luo with swords and stated their interests. In his view, these issues should be sat down and discussed, rather than solved with violence.
Unfortunately, as an absolute minority, the Crown Guard family represented by Peter and Barrett, and the Bouvier family have no real decision-making power. In desperation, they can only leave the capital silently, return to the fiefdom, and fulfill their duties.
For the lord's duty, he worked hard to stay out of the whirlpool.
Originally, Peter and Ogesha hoped that Galen would return to Mithril City, but Galen's stubbornness came to the fore. Even though he knew that the current situation was special, he still insisted on staying in the Dauntless Vanguard and continuing to serve as a soldier.
Serve the country.
Twelve letters failed to bring this idiot back. Peter really wanted to take out his belt and go to the Dauntless Pioneer station to find Galen to show his kindness to his father and son. But unfortunately, in the current delicate situation, it was not easy for him to go to Dauntless Pioneer.
As for the Vanguard, they had no choice but to stay in Mithril City with Ogesha in fear.
This time they came to Forsbarrow, partly to meet their daughter, and partly to relax and avoid being made sick by their stubborn ass-like son.
Look, how sensible my daughter is. She can develop in Fosbairo with peace of mind and manage Fosbairo in an orderly manner!
Look at my son again...
As you get older, you are bound to be a bit nagging. Every time Ogesha and Peter talk about Galen, they act like "the education they received when they were children was not violent enough." They wish they could bring up the blame for his bedwetting on Lux.
chat.
It was under this circumstance that Demacia encountered many sudden changes in succession.
Compared with the capital, the news in the north is undoubtedly relatively closed, and because of the consistent attitude of the Crownguard family, the noble council is also relatively alienated from them. Therefore, regarding the military operations planned in the noble council, Peter and Ogesha
No message received.
Although Forsbarrow's Chamber of Commerce has also purchased some properties in Xiongdu, as the black mist besieged the city, their news could not be sent out, so Lux, Peter, and Ogesha had no idea what was happening in Xiongdu.
Many things.
When Jarvan IV was crowned and the news spread across the country, the family of three suddenly realized that the deterioration of the situation in Demacia had suddenly reached the current situation with a group of people taking turns stepping on the accelerator!
Good guy, the civil war has just begun, and the Noxians came to attack. Black mist surrounded the country. After the black mist dissipated, Jarvan III passed away...
Faced with all the current situations, even Lux, who often reasoned with Kalya and was mentally prepared for the Demacia Civil War, couldn't help but be stunned.
After the news came, the leisurely family happiness was stopped on the spot. After Peter and Ogesha told Lux to stick to Forsbarrow and not get involved with the aristocratic alliance, they hurriedly left Forsbane.
Luo, returned to Mithril City.
After Peter and Ogesha left, Lux immediately found Sona, connected with Kalya, and began to discuss Forsbarrow's next response.
……………………
First of all, there is no need to hesitate at all. Forsbarrow will not take the initiative to get involved in the disputes between the royal family and the nobles, and will resolutely resist the invasion of Noxus.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, due to a lack of understanding of the situation on the battlefield of Tobitsia, almost all the information in Lux's hands at this time came from Jarvan IV's announcement——
No one with a brain can regard this announcement as 100% reliable information, so in terms of specific response measures, all Fosbarrow can do is to carry out limited mobilization for the time being.
It will be the coldest time in the north soon. Due to the natural conditions, even if Lux wants to send troops to Qinwang, it is not easy for Forsbarrow's Northern Walkers and the Third Army to send troops.
In comparison, under the current situation, the organization that is flexible and has excellent combat effectiveness in Forsbarrow is the Magicians. Although Lux has almost never taught war magic, these talented mages can devote themselves to it without much time of training.
Battlefield - Destruction is always easier than creation. As long as Kalya is given half a month, the Archon can pull together a complete group of war mages to bring Demacia's magical greetings to the Noxians.
But this is obviously impossible.
Although the Northern Walker Army and the Third Northern Army are used to these "kind wizards", other armies are not friendly towards magic. Even when the country is invaded, no one can guarantee a group of wizards.
After appearing on the front line, other Demacia troops will not turn their guns.
Moreover, it is easy to transfer the Archon to a War Mage, but it is not easy to transfer them back.
According to Demacia tradition, military merit comes first. When supporting Mithral City, not many mages participated, and they were all core members who were mentored by Kalya. Although they did not fully understand Lux's ideals, they understood Kalya's ideas.
, but he is also the closest to Lux and the most loyal.
Once a large number of mages go into battle, will those who are not so loyal, after realizing the merits that magic can earn, be willing to return to Forsbarrow to dig rivers and build mountains?
To put it bluntly, Fosbairo's leap-forward development was actually based on the use of the "overqualified skills" of the Dharma Master. As the former regent prince of the Shurima Empire, Kalya knew better than anyone else the consequences of having experienced wars.
After baptism, how easy it is for ordinary people to embark on the path of contempt for life.
Although it has been three years since Lux came to Forsbarrow, she has only mastered Forsbarrow in these three years, and has not fully allowed her ideas to be accepted by all the Dharma Protectors. Even the unified management organization within the Dharma Protectors is still there.
In the initial stage, currently the Archon Masters are still working in small groups!
Without a unified mind, letting the Dharma Master go to fight... It's easy to be ambitious, but it's not easy to take it back!
Therefore, after a long debate, Lux and Sona had to accept Kalya's opinion and not send any support for the time being. They just prioritized military preparations, unified thinking, and improved organization.
It is no exaggeration to say that the most fortunate thing for Lux at this time is that the Battle of Mithral City took place last year. With the complete disintegration of Winter's Claw, the North does not need to face the pressure of the Freljord for the time being. Otherwise, even if
She was really prepared and wanted to take action, but the result would be that she was unable to do so.
After confirming what Fosbairo can currently do, a new question posed in front of the three of them.
How to confirm the war situation in Tobitsia and the seriousness of the dispute between the royal family and the noble council?
Lux, who has experience in the Freljord, proposed that she could send a "Forsbarrow Representative" to the front line, with only ears and no mouth. After all, we are a poor northern border with pitifully few resources and population.
If we have to do something, we are powerless.
But as the plenipotentiary representative of Forsbarrow, we still have the right to observe the decision-making. Although we can only provide all support except practical help, at least we must understand the current needs of the front line so that we can provide practical support in the future.
Provide timely help when needed.
As for who is responsible for this task...
Is there anyone better than Sona in the task of wearing ears but no mouth?
Of course, considering that Sona herself is not engaged in intelligence work, Lux believes that it is necessary to transfer some intelligence backbones from the Freljord to work with Sona, and by the way, send some intelligence rookies to the Freljord for "practice"
Training" and try to contribute as much fresh blood to the intelligence agency as possible.
This series of decisions allowed Kalya to clearly see Lux's growth. He was very pleased to say nothing and watched Lux quickly weave a detailed and thorough personnel transfer plan.
From the allocation of mission personnel, to the method and frequency of information transmission, to the mission's attitude and principles, the rotation of mission personnel and accompanying materials...
It is hard to imagine that a little girl less than twenty-two years old can have such rigorous thinking and planning abilities. Under Kalya's teaching, supervision and training, she has read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles.
Lux finally has the ability to take charge of her own business.
"It's a good plan." Kalya didn't add anything more, but said in a rare tone of satisfaction and gratification, "If you keep going like this, you will be able to start the army soon!"
"I'm still far from being a teacher!" Lux was quite surprised when she was suddenly praised by Karya. After getting used to someone's eccentricity, she even felt a little embarrassed when faced with such sincere praise. "After all, intelligence collection is
If there are precedents to follow, it is actually not too difficult to extend from the general policy."
"Well, it's good to know." Kalya changed his face and said, "Be careful of arrogance and impetuosity. Now that your parents have left, the winter vacation is over. Starting tomorrow, you should continue to study the Introduction to Advanced Elements -
"
"Ah?" Lux's eyes widened in astonishment, "But isn't the main task this winter to improve the organization of the army and clerks and unify their thinking?"
"One side at a time, no delay." Although Kalya's tone returned to the harsh tone before, he still added, "Unless you allow your elemental puppet to move spontaneously within three days."
"What's so difficult about this?" Lux said confidently, "I promise to complete the mission!"
……………………
Three days later, Lux successfully gave the elemental puppet the ability to self-activate.
Seven days later, the "professional intelligence personnel" who returned from the north were finally assembled. Sona brought a sincere letter written by Lux, and as the "Representative of Forsbarrow", she embarked on a heroic journey to Demacia.
Du, the mission to accompany the army to the front line of Tobitsia.
It was at the same time that the Dauntless Vanguard and the Winged Legion completed their assembly in the capital of Demacia. After leaving some veterans of the garrison to guard the capital, Jarvan IV raised the royal flag and personally led the army to set off.
Follow the flowing Tobitsia River upstream to the east to support the Tobitsia front line.
On the front line of Tobitsia, under Swain's order, the Noxian army completely stopped and expanded the city of Tobitsia into a large military fortress, and built a representative
The Noxian-ruled Noxtorra completely stabilized the supply route from Trevel-Mourning Gate-Tobitsia.
