Chapter 128 Swain: Darkwill is stupid after childhood, LeBlanc is stupid at birth
Piltover, Parliament Building, Zaun's MPs arrived late at night.
Beside Li Ke, Jinx also came up, yawning. She felt a little bored and resented the meeting in the middle of the night. She whispered in a low voice: "Are you crazy? Who is a good person who has a meeting in the middle of the night? ?”
"If a missile hits here, shouldn't I just give you a pot?"
Jinx narrowed her eyes and said.
Thinking about it, she suddenly felt a little excited and no longer sleepy.
Not to mention, she had actually imagined launching death missiles with fish bones, and then bombing the symbol of Piltover. Who made this parliament building the tallest building in Piltover?
After hearing Jinx's words, Mel, who was walking in front, twitched the corner of his mouth.
She suddenly felt that what Jinx said made sense.
It seems that having late-night meetings or something is really not advisable? Piltover's councilors had several emergency meetings, and they all chose to hold them late at night. Now that I think about it, Jinx was right. This was really dangerous.
"You just said it casually, right?" Councilor Hoskar turned around and looked at Jinx in fear, with a big belly.
"Of course, I just said it casually." Jinx nodded beside Li Ke and said obediently.
Hoskar breathed a sigh of relief and turned around, but a girl's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"But I did think about doing this, um. When I developed the death missile? Don't look at me like that, okay? We are friends now, ha, I'm not as crazy as you think~" Seeing Hoss Carl looked at herself again, Jinx waved her hands and said.
Li Ke couldn't help laughing when he heard it, but he didn't say anything and just let Jinx do whatever he wanted.
Silko's lips curled up. Facts have proved that Zaun currently has more lethal weapons than Piltover, especially those developed by Jinx.
Missiles with an explosion range of 100 meters, machine guns that can fire continuously using Hex gems as energy, and robots that can replace manpower on the battlefield.
Zaun is indeed thriving.
After everyone entered the parliament hall, Jace and Mel sat on one side, Li Ke and Jinx sat together, Fandel and Silko sat together, and the other members did not follow their positions and sat down casually. .
Mel came up and said in a deep voice: "As for the war masons, Caitlin found four in total. The first one to ambush Piltover was one who joined Piltover thirty years ago and established the United Chamber of Commerce. The Grice family ”
"What? Thirty years ago?!" Hoskal was shocked when he heard the sound and said loudly: "How could it be so early? Mel, in my impression, the Grice family did something wrong for Piltover. Shaoli, the prosperity of this city is also due to them. How can they be spies? Besides, are there spies who have been lying in wait for thirty years? "
Hoskal felt that something was outrageous.
Thirty years, thirty years is enough for a newborn child to become a father, enough for a middle-aged man to die, enough for too many things to happen.
If Noxus had sent war masons to Piltover thirty years ago, why hadn't they done anything yet? For them, isn't it just a matter of minutes to capture Piltover?
Although Noxus’ external battle reports are ugly at the moment——
I heard that the army that attacked the Freljord in the north was almost completely wiped out, and the general who led it was taken prisoner and is missing.
And the war they launched against Ionia, which has lasted for nearly ten years, has passed its peak period. With the birth of the Ionia Resistance Army, Noxus' military strength in Ionia has It's obviously not enough.
You must know that Pi City's spies in Shurima got the news some time ago, saying that a large part of the Noxian soldiers stationed at the Shurima harbor were dispatched to Ionia, but the strange thing is, On the way they returned to Shurima.
But in short, Hoskar believes that even if Noxus loses its previous prestige, it is still the most powerful country on the continent of Valoran, and the only one that can compete with it is Demacia.
With Noxus' military capabilities, it would be easy to deal with Piltover
"This is actually normal."
Mel took over Hoskal's words and continued: "Noxus has always been like this, with a long-term layout. Before launching a war, the war masons will serve as scouts to enter the country they want to invade.
As internal agents, War Masons will bring the best offensive route to Noxus, but Noxus does not mean that sending War Masons means that they will attack that country later. ”
"Intelligence, information, whether it can be profitable after occupying it, and how to obtain the maximum benefit from the war, Noxus will take action after weighing these factors. As far as I know, Demacia also has Noxus The War Masons
But their identities are secret, and even my mother cannot know who they are, and they have been dormant in Demacia for a long, long time. I even think that they may have entered Demacia a hundred years ago. ”
Mel said in a deep voice that she actually did not stay in Noxus for too long because Ambesa sent her to Piltover very early.
After she came to Piltover, with the help of the Philos family and the power of the Myrdalda family that originally existed in Piltover, she successfully became a member of the Parliament of Piltover.
But even though he didn't stay in Noxus for a long time, Mel also understood Noxus' style of conduct under Ambesa's education.
"If it were in the past, Piltover might have already belonged to Noxus. But Lord Darkwill was fatuous in his later years. In order to survive, he issued many strange orders and sent out troops to attack at the last second. A country, but the next second suddenly sent another army to stop it. ”
"It's like. It's like he suffered from schizophrenia in his later years?" Mel said doubtfully, and she continued: "I even think that the defeat of the Noi War was intentional on his part."
"The reinforcements sent out have been transferred back. It seems like he deliberately wants the Noxians on Ionia to fend for themselves?" Mel said in a deep voice.
She actually felt that something was wrong with Darkwill Brown a long time ago.
Decades ago, Noxus was victorious in foreign wars. The only hard nut it could not defeat was Demacia. But what about Noxus' performance in the past ten years?
Without the bravery of the former Hand of Noxus, Sion, Noxus' dominance gradually weakened and could no longer resist Demacia's counterattack. The large areas of land it once occupied were beaten back, and Darkwill subsequently He ordered Sion to be dug up and the long-lost hero of Noxus was resurrected using forbidden magic.
But after some time, Darkwill ordered Sion to be buried.
The reason is that after Sion enters the battlefield, he will attack both the enemy and us indiscriminately, and the Noxian soldiers will lose their will to fight because of his brutality and flee without fighting.
But the problem is, this was not the way Darkwill behaved in his early years. From Ambersa, Mel knew that Darkwill was a wise and mighty monarch in his early years.
Under his rule, Noxus once reached its peak. Half of Runeterra was Noxus' territory. To achieve his goal, he was willing to do whatever it took to seal the weapons of war. Not like something he would do.
Not to mention that for the sake of immortality, he ignored the defeat of the Noai War, refused to let the Noxians who were beaten in Ionia come back, and didn't even send reinforcements?
Is this still the wise and mighty commander, the great king Darkwill?
"I say this to tell everyone that Noxus is in chaos now, and my mother is a typical example. The higher-ups have noticed that Darkwill is incompetent in his later years, and have begun to fight for power in private. My mother left Noxus because she lost the political struggle.”
"This may be why the War Masons were buried in Piltover for so many years, but Noxus never took action."
"However, these guys are just like cockroaches. If they find one in the room, it means there are thousands more." Mel said coldly.
Her description was a bit exaggerated, but everyone present understood what Mel wanted to express.
That was the war mason that Caitlin found today, but only part of the truth was revealed. There were also many Noxians hiding in Piltover.
"Mel, can I understand that from the beginning, Noxus has regarded us as sheep in the sheepfold?" Councilor Kira Mann said hesitantly.
"Indeed." Mel nodded to Gila Mann.
Silko sneered and said, "So, there is no traitor in Zaun, but you are all traitors in Piltover now, right?"
"Then can I now suspect that there is a Noxian insider on this table?"
"According to what Senator Mel said, even a closed country like Demacia in Noxus can send war masons in. So, what about the senators in Piltover? Can you guarantee that there are no spies among you? ?”
Hilko's words made the Piltover councilors present frown, and even Mel fell silent.
Seeing that something was not right in the atmosphere, Li Ke came out to smooth things over and said, "Don't be so nervous. Hilko just said it casually. I personally am willing to believe everyone present." Li Ke really couldn't determine who was in this group of people at the moment. There may or may not be Noxian spies, but at least Li Ke can be sure of one thing, that is, the congressmen present are indeed from the two cities.
As for Machine Head Senator Polpock, he is also an authentic Piltover Lady. He was really born in Piltover.
Because Janna knows them and has witnessed their birth, the worst case scenario is that someone here has cooperated with Noxus, but their previous cooperation does not mean that they will also cooperate with Noxus in the future.
When it comes to Zaun, this group of councilors is hypocritical, but when it comes to Piltover, this group of people is sincere.
They grew up in this city and devoted their efforts to this city. Naturally, they are the last people who want Piltover to become the treasury of Noxus.
Not everyone can look away from the dilution of the rights of those in power like Li Ke and Hilko.
And what Mel said before was that Darkwill was like a schizophrenic in his later years. After giving an order, he would backhand and reject the previous order. There were endless cerebral palsy operations and his behavior was confusing. This made Li Ke Subconsciously, I thought of one person - LeBlanc.
I remember that in Swain's personal story, he offended LeBlanc and was suppressed because of his pursuit of the Black Rose organization. The defeat of the Noai War also made the former man of great prestige and arrogance in the military. Swain became a prisoner who everyone shouted for beatings.
It wasn't until he obtained the power of the devil that everything changed.
He overthrew Darkwill's rule and established a new Noxus. Since then, the Noxus empire has had such a slight improvement and favor in Li Ke's eyes.
Otherwise?
Who in their right mind would like Noxus?
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
A group of handsome people shouted slogans, what——
"Kings forced you to kneel with hereditary authority and false reputation, Noxus made you stand up."
"Noxus puts individual ability first, and if you have ability, you will find a way out."
"Power above all else."
Each slogan sounds more handsome than the other, but what is the actual situation?
With so many heroes, Li Ke wanted to ask, why are only the two De Lai brothers gaining glory as civilians?
What about the other heroes? Why didn't they change class? Is it because they don't want to?
Do you know?
Xin Zhao, who had been a gladiator in Noxus, was forced by Noxus to go to Demacia and become the royal steward.
Riven, who devoted herself to the industry of Noxus, was bombed by her own people. After the bombing, she did not hold any grudge. Mengmeng gave up everything and went to Ionia to herd cattle. She became a farm girl, but the result was still worse. Caught back.
Using a human body to suppress the darkspawn, Kayn, who was evenly matched with Raast, was even sent to the battlefield as vanguard cannon fodder. Remember, he was only a teenager at that time.
When Vladimir lost control, he sucked up countless Noxian soldiers around him, but paid no price, as if none of this had happened.
The background story of Death Song tells that the poor people in Noxus die in their sleep every day, and no one controls the outbreak of the plague. His sister died in the plague. Is this what a "prosperous" country should be like? ?
A genius like Riel became a victim of magic experiments. Think about the children who were captured and experimented with Riel. How high must their talents be? Is this what Noxus keeps saying it values?
Especially Sion, who served the Empire all his life and made countless achievements in his life. Before his death, he killed the German king one by one, a great hero of the Empire. After his death, he was dug up, captured and transformed into a twisted and painful zombie.
Is this how Noxus gives "glory" to its great heroes?
Li Ke did like Noxus at the beginning, because the slogans of Noxus were so cool, but after getting to know Noxus, Li Ke really couldn't like it. Such Noxus.
He once scolded Demacia for being hypocritical and corrupt, but if Li Kezhen really had to choose a city, he would still choose Demacia.
Another one, is Noxus really powerful?
In fact, this is not the case. Noxus is indeed fighting all over the world, but the question is, has Noxus won?
Oh, Noxus conquered the whole world, but it just didn't win. Is that what you mean?
What is Brother Taobo?
Of course, Li Ke just thought about it casually and complained. He would not be arrogant and think that Noxus was full of shortcomings and useless.
Because Noxus did allow many oppressed people to stand up, and also allowed many small countries and city-states to voluntarily join them, allowing talented people to display their talents. But all these changes were actually made after Swain came on stage.
As for Noxus now.
Li Ke felt that it was just a piece of shit. If there was no strong man Swain, Noxus would have been killed by the Enchantress sooner or later. Even if the Enchantress did not play to death, then Mordekaiser would come out and give him a blow. Smash the so-called great empire.
So.
The reason why Piltover is so close to Noxus and has had so many interactions with it yet has not been annexed by Noxus is.
LeBlanc?
Li Ke couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the astonishing wisdom of the King of Ideas.
He remembered that he had seen a picture in the forum. On that picture were the various enemies that LeBlanc spawned for him after the failure of his plan, including Riven, Annie, Rell, Mordekaiser, and Si. Vain, Berea, and even Renekton.
It’s true that she is the king of astonishingly intelligent ideas and the master of strategizing!
If Li Ke were Swain, he would really be able to curse people.
Swain: Darkwill became mentally retarded later on, while LeBlanc was born mentally retarded.
This Kled also has a say. In the canyon, Li Ke remembered that when Kled killed LeBlanc, he would trigger an Easter egg line, which roughly means - the dream of a small town girl, I will crush it all. !
It can be seen from this that LeBlanc does seem to have a bit of a stupid beauty attribute in her body.
Don't ask, it's the screenwriter's fault if you ask!
She went to Shurima to cause trouble, and Azir was resurrected. Do you think she has the attribute of taking the blame?
Of the ten major events in Runeterra, more than half have something to do with you!
Li Ke smiled and shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind, looked at everyone, and said:
"Okay, everyone, let's focus on the two cities now. The Benoxans did not drive away, but we started fighting among ourselves."
After hearing this, Hilko smiled and stopped talking.
Mel then said:
"I actually disagreed with us breaking up with Noxus now, because breaking up with Noxus would do us more harm than good, and small countries would not dare to trade with us.< br>
And I'm worried that Noxus will really attack. Although we are developing very fast now and our weapon research and development is changing day by day, the number of people we can use is always too few. The two cities combined can only have a thousand at most. Soldiers, but Noxus' cannon fodder consists of tens of thousands of people. ”
Mel said with a smile on his face: "But I'm not so worried now."
"Because Noxus has no time to deal with us at all. At least in the next two years, they won't be able to spare any time."
"According to the information I have learned, Darius's life and death in the north is uncertain, Swain is trapped in Ionia, Demacia has extended the battle line to the border of Noxus, and Reiser is guarding Defending the Fearless Vanguard”
"Now is indeed a good time for us to develop. It is indeed feasible to break up with them, kill all the war masons, expel all the Noxians in the city, and prevent them from inquiring into our internal situation."
"So here, members, let's vote."
"If you support, please raise your hands." Mel raised his hands first and said in a deep voice.
All members of the House of Representatives from Zaun raised their hands. When they came to Piltover, they had already agreed on a unified voice in advance. They believed in Li Ke.
On Pi City's side, hands were raised one after another.
————February 3, 2nd year of Zu Anli,
Zaun and Piltover decided not to trade with Noxus anymore, and refused Noxians to enter the two cities. At the same time, they accelerated their development and jointly researched weapons, which belonged to Zaun and Piltover - "Two "City Era" officially begins.
