The messengers wearing bright silver armor ran along the King's Avenue in the kingdom's capital, holding a volume of military reports high in their hands.
Pedestrians on the road were attracted by him, and his voice was loud and passionate: "Tiana led an army to defeat Noxus in the Nokmach Plains! Annihilate the opponent's 500,000 legions!"
The sound of horse hooves was heard all the way, and then the people burst into amazing cheers.
Although the bard didn't know the details at all, he already played his musical instrument and began to fabricate the scene of a massive defeat of the enemy army.
Such results were indeed a shot in the arm for Demacia. Those nobles who were still waiting on the sidelines began to place bets on the army without hesitation, and batches of supplies were transported from their warehouses to rush for reinforcements.
front.
Although starting a war was not his original intention, achieving such gratifying results was something worthy of celebration for Jarvan III.
He immediately wrote a royal order commending the Eastern Expeditionary Army and sent it to the front line. At the same time, he ordered all parties to be prepared to cooperate with Tiana.
In such a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people, Demacia also suffered heavy casualties. As military reports were delivered, batches of injured people and ashes prepared to be sent to the Hall of Valor, and nameplates were all sent back to the capital, and the people
Spontaneously gathered at the city gate to hold a welcoming ceremony.
The names of fallen warriors will also be engraved on the stone tablets.
The main force of Demacia captured the city within a few days and advanced all the way to the middle of the Nocmoch Plains.
Here, they were harassed by a large number of Noxian rangers.
The disastrous defeat of the Noxian Army also spread to the Immortal Bastion, causing an uproar throughout the Empire.
Some are holding these army leaders accountable, while others have vowed to make these Demacians pay with blood.
Before the Trilifar Council began, Swain came to the underground of the fortress through unknown secret channels.
His hair is silver-white, neatly combed up by him, his facial features are deep and his expression is calm.
Noxus looked decent, and his slim-fitting black military uniform was casually draped on his body. His rubber boots made a dull thump on the invisible ground, sounding like he was stepping on a luxurious wooden floor.
Swain gradually stepped into the darkness, his demon arm gradually shed its human skin, and he casually took off the leather glove on his left hand.
The ferocious red claws slowly appeared.
He stretched out his arm and groped in the darkness, and then a wave of witchcraft quickly spread around.
The figure of jealousy slowly emerged with this fluctuation.
"You seem to need my help again?" Jealous smiled.
"I think the trouble in Demacia was caused by you yourself." Swain sneered upon hearing this: "Your actions in the Freljord seem to be hiding something from me."
Jealousy was noncommittal: "Jackdaw is a person you personally trained. You know her better than I do."
"snort!"
"Listen, we have done more violent things together in the past, but now we are just provoking those stupid disabled gods in Freljord." Jealousy defended: "I have buried this in the soul of every high-ranking Mason.
We have a back-up plan, so the problem won't be with us. You know, the protoss declared war on Noxus without even going to Noxus to investigate in person."
"What happened on the snowfield?" Swain said coldly.
"I don't know either. My abilities are isolated. Maybe you can go to Mount Targon and ask the righteous star spirit." The jealous monster laughed: "Besides, for Noxus now, even if it means adding one more virtue, Marcia can't resist your ambition at all, right?
After preparing for so long, why bother looking forward and backward, I am still waiting to see you become the new mortal master of this world."
"You also think Demacia is a small problem?" Swain stared at him, his deep eyes seeming to want to see something from his jealous face.
Jealousy was still the same distorted look, and he laughed gloomily: "You know better than me that Noxus is powerful in war."
It is undeniable that Noxus has secretly collected powerful magical artifacts and such war weapons all over the world. Its current strength is indeed arrogant among the others, and it is through plunder that Noxus can develop rapidly. Although Swain He has gone all out to get Noxus out of this aggressive state of slow death, but that doesn't mean he won't take advantage of it.
"Don't worry, the protoss don't like to interfere in mortal affairs. They are so aloof that they don't even know how powerful Noxus is." Envy looked at Swain's ugly face and tried to persuade him: "As long as it's If I don't show up, they won't interfere in this war. After all, all humans are their 'subjects'! If you build a temple for them, maybe they will come to protect you! Hahaha. ! ”
"When Mordekaiser slaughtered the entire continent, didn't they have any involvement at all?" He lied again.
What Swain wants is the answer to whether the protoss will intervene in this war. With his knowledge, he cannot grasp the thoughts of those celestial beings.
"That's best."
According to the military reports sent back from the front line, there is indeed no sign of the protoss on the Demacian side.
"Then what are your plans?" Envy asked curiously: "Follow the established plan, or should you turn around and kill Demacia first?"
"hehe."
Swain chuckled twice, his robe flew off, and he turned around and left.
"……demon."
Before leaving the underground, his eyes were still fixed on the darkness.
Jealousy will only make him more vigilant.
But under the current circumstances, he must make a choice, otherwise even if he is a great leader who brings Noxus to a new life, he will encounter a lot of doubts.
A raven landed lightly on his shoulder, and he reached out and stroked the soft feathers on the raven's head.
"Who else can tell me the answer?"
There are undoubtedly many old guys hiding in Noxus, but as the noble class was purged by him in large numbers, he has long been regarded as an enemy.
Otherwise, the remaining black roses would not be as powerful as fire and water with him.
"Vladimir? No..."
As he walked step by step to the top of the Immortal Fortress, Swain kept weighing his inner thoughts.
What he didn't know was that the two demons were watching him and influencing his consciousness subtly.
"——The will of the empire will eventually rule the world!"
When the attendant pushed open the door to the conference room, he finally made up his mind.
…
On that day, Noxus officially declared war with Demacia.
The next day, the Noxian naval fleet attacked the island of Ferol in the southwest of Ionia. After massacring all the civilians on the island, it established a military base and plunged the entire southern part of Ionia into war.
Ionia's poorer, weaker southern regions quickly fell.
