Chapter 712 Annex the Gray Order and Sacrifice to My Great Noxus! ?

"Uh-huh……"

(￣～￣) Chew!

Click! Click!

Throwing a few pieces of fried sweet nuts into her mouth and chewing, little Annie, who was still making a 'click' sound, first turned her head to look at the one in her house who had a dark face at this time, and tried to pretend to be serious. After a while, mother Amoline, the villain who listened to the lecture, thought for a while, then reached out and grabbed the roast leg of lamb that she just gnawed out a few teeth marks and gaps, and started chewing again. stand up.

"ha!!"

o(￣＾￣)o swallow!

grunt!

Naturally, after the 'click' finally ended, the sound of food being swallowed, as well as the noise of the little girl's beautiful long breath after swallowing, sounded again...

"..."

Although the voice seemed natural, but it seemed to be deliberately pretended, it attracted the commander of Noxus, Swain, who was eloquently giving speeches and persuading the negotiating target, and he couldn't help it. From time to time, he glanced at a little girl who seemed to be making trouble maliciously, with several strange and secretly dissatisfied eyes.

"Eh?"

∑(△｀)? !

"This is not delicious, I want to eat that! Uncle Crow, please pass it over for me, okay, thank you... By the way, do you want some?!"

(`) Delicious.

A certain little girl who didn't pay attention to the four adults who were negotiating and talking about important things at all, just huddled beside this big stone table, in the middle of the two pairs of male and female adults sitting face to face. , ate and ate unscrupulously.

What's more, it didn't count that she had eaten, and she interrupted Swain's speech many times in a very rude way, either directly reaching out for the thing, or asking the other party to help her with the food... And now, when the other party gave her another After handing over the plate of fried big-eared rats that was far away, she cheered and thanked casually, and then began to feast on it again.

"..."

, crow, uncle crow? !

As the commander of Noxus, the veins on Swain's forehead couldn't help twitching for the first time, but in the end, he still automatically filtered out the title of "Uncle Crow" that the little girl forced on him, and continued to face With a forced smile without changing his expression, he introduced the various conditions that Noxus offered to the gray order to the two opposite couples who seemed to have unnatural expressions... Of course, corresponding to the conditions (rights), There are also various obligations that the other party has to fulfill.

Because the rising Noxus cannot do without the support of everyone...

As long as they are a member of Noxus, as long as they join this big family, everyone must unconditionally fight for the revival and rise of "her" while enjoying the various war dividends brought by the empire struggle!

"Well……"

e=(o`*)))

"It's really delicious, I'm so full today..."

oo smells so good...

Little Annie suddenly took a deep breath, touched her swollen belly, and finally sat back on her stone bench with satisfaction, no longer standing between two groups of people who were negotiating like before. In the middle of the meeting, he propped up a stone table to make trouble for both parties, and made a mess all over the table.

Sure enough, eating at home is easy to get full after all...

"Ai?"

(w)

"that……"

(*-)

"Uncle Crow, keep talking, don't pay attention to me, anyway, I haven't been listening since the beginning, and I don't like to listen to those boring things you just said."

(*^^*) That's it!

Little Annie, who noticed that the scene had gradually become quieter, turned her head and saw that the one-armed uncle with a crow on his shoulder and a devil's claw stopped and looked at her, so she hurriedly Frolicking, he made a funny face at the other party, not caring at all that he had interrupted the other party's important conversation just now.

(…)

(●￣￣●)

"..."

call! !

took a breath,

After making his breathing short for more than ten seconds, Swain finally calmed down his mood. Taking advantage of the fact that the little girl finally stopped eating and drinking and finally started to calm down, he turned his head to look at The two couples, who were pretending not to know a certain little girl, bit the bullet and continued the speech he had just left.

"La la la..."

(^^)

However, little Annie, who had calmed down just now, started to toss again...

While she was holding her plush teddy bear and rubbing the oil and dirt vigorously on it, she even began to hum something that everyone present could not understand at all. Learned messy nursery rhymes?

(…)

(*.><)o

"..."

"..."

"The matter has come to this, whether it is us or the two of you, I believe that we have no other choice, so..."

Fortunately, after the more disturbing behavior of the little girl just now, it is difficult for them to pay more attention to such small things as just humming.

so,

The four people present, whether it was the commander of Noxus, Jerry Coswain, or his companions, were sitting upright in their seats, all the while maintaining a half-hearted smile, I don't know if it was the concentrating listening or the wandering witch LeBlanc, or the mystic Gregory Hastur and his wife, the shadow witch Amoline, they didn't pay any attention to someone who was sitting The little girl humming a song on the stone bench quickly shook out all the things she wanted to say and discuss.

Of course, most of the time it was the leader of Noxus, that Jerry Coswain, who was making the statement, while Gregory Hastur, the mystic, and his wife, Amoline, the Shadow Witch From time to time, he would ask a sentence or two without comment, and from time to time he would frown and meditate, without directly making any statement.

As for the trick witch LeBlanc, she was like a foil throughout the whole process, just smiling and watching the discussion between the three, without any intention of making a sound and participating in it.

"Probably that's it. I've finished my words today, and I think the two of you should have made up your mind..."

After finally explaining the matter clearly, and making sure that he had just explained clearly to the two couples who could make decisions for the entire gray order, and did not miss any of the pre-prepared content, Jericho Swain said Finally he let out a sigh of relief.

I don't know why, but he always feels that today's negotiation is more tiring and suffering than any difficult battle he has commanded before?

"In addition to what I just said, please take a look here now, both of you!"

"Above, is the explanation of all the rights and obligations displayed to you and the gray order after our Noxus High Command and the Trifali Council jointly decided!"

"What do you two think, what do you think?"

"Please rest assured, in addition to this, Noxus will definitely give your couple the treatment and status commensurate with their identities... Please believe me, Noxus will never disappoint anyone who contributes to the empire!"

"Never, I promise!!"

After slowly finishing all the words and all the conditions and requirements that the two of them came to this voodoo land today, and came to this gray order that has become more and more prosperous and has become like a small city-state, this Noxus Commander Jericho Swain slowly took out a parchment document that had been prepared from his space pocket.

Then, he glanced at the two opposite couples who were still in contemplation and seemed to have not made a final decision, and then gently handed it over to the mysterious warlock Greg from the stone platform full of food scraps and plates. In front of Rihasta and his wife Amoline, the Shadow Priestess.

The requirements and conditions he just mentioned were actually all written in the magic contract document, without any discount or concealment at all.

As long as any one of the other parties signs the contract, all the things he said before can be fulfilled immediately!

Because, that contract was signed and stamped by the Trifali Council, the leader of Noxus, Jerry Coswain, and it has unquestionable effect in Noxus!

At the same time, it also has a powerful magical effect to ensure that both parties will fulfill it as promised.

This,

It is the greatest sincerity that he, Jerry Coswain, brought to this gray order!

He believed that the two old friends in front of him, the mystic Gregory Hastur and his wife, the shadow witch Amoline, must be the kind of people who know the times! Knowing that they are invincible and unable to resist the Noxus Empire, signing the contract is already a certainty, and there will definitely be no other suspense.

"..."

Before the other party could make a decision, he turned his head and glanced at the female companion beside him. When he found that the other party gave him a veiled look of affirmation, Jericho Swain inadvertently showed a knowing smile from the corner of his mouth.

Then, he nodded, turned his head, and sat on the stone bench as if he was relieved, leaning on his marshal's scepter, patiently waiting for the two couples who were reading the agreement one by one, waiting for each other answer.

Now, his lobbying mission is complete...

Although the process was not perfect, and he was still being disturbed by the rude little girl to the two couples, but at least he persisted until the end of the negotiation, and did not cause any disturbances because of such trivial matters .

"..."

"..."

After a quick glance at the agreement on the magic contract-style parchment, and found that there was no difference between the content written on it and the conditions proposed to them by the Noxus leader just now, the mystic Gregory Hastur and His wife, the Shadow Priestess Amoline, also looked at each other tacitly. When they both saw some kind of decision deep in each other's eyes, they turned their heads tacitly and looked at the two messengers on the opposite side again.

"Two messengers..."

"We have seen that the terms you Noxus offered are very sincere and generous! We can't think of any reason to refuse..."

Having said that, the Shadow Witch Amoline paused for a moment. When she saw the ease and ecstasy hidden in the eyes and faces of the two people opposite her, she smiled slyly and suddenly changed the topic. :

"However, it is still a pity that the choice we have made is: refuse!!"

"Of course, please don't get me wrong, this has nothing to do with your conditions, it's just our own problem... because, our gray order mages and people don't want to be involved in the huge vortex of Noxus again ..."

"So, I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I can only let the two of you go for nothing today?"

Knowing that her husband, Gregory, might be embarrassed to refuse the request of an old friend whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years, so... his wife, Amoline, the Shadow Priestess, was not polite at all in front of the two envoys, Smiling very politely, they handed back the agreement, and the person who represented the land of voodoo and the gray order made their final decision.

In fact, before the other party arrived, she had already guessed the other party's intention and made a decision about this matter... Therefore, when she said those words now, she didn't mean to regret it at all.

"This agreement, please take it back, maybe you can give it to those who need it? Because it is so generous, we can't afford it..."

Completely ignoring the frowning LeBlanc on the opposite side and the ugly and surprised expressions of the Noxus commander Jerry Coswain, whose expression suddenly became astonished, the Shadow Priestess Amoline directly took the magic card The parchment agreement was grasped by a mage's hand, and it was lightly 'sent' back to the two of them, floating in mid-air.

This is actually just like what she said, their gray order has been an independent organization since they left Noxus and risked their lives to climb over the grand barrier! Therefore, the seemingly generous merger request proposed by the other party is actually unreasonable!

Therefore, they neither accept nor compromise, nor will they be easily persuaded by the other party!

No matter what the Valoran continent will develop in the future, no matter what the power of Runeterra will evolve in the future, their gray order, the mage organization, will always be hidden in the depths of Voodoo Land. Do not have any association with any external forces.

They must maintain the detached status of their organization, not to be an enemy of any external force, and at the same time, not to ally with any country!

This is the common wish and aspiration of everyone when the gray order came here!

And the outrageous merger request made by the other party just now, and the agreement that they tried to annex them, are obviously contrary to the core principles of their gray order, and there is also a serious conflict.

This is not only the wishes of herself and her husband Gregory, but also the voice of the entire gray order!

Therefore, the Shadow Priestess, Amoline, simply rejected the conditions of the Noxus commander. She didn't even say what her husband Gregory had said about being able to support some mages in friendship before the other party arrived!

Back then, after experiencing countless hardships, they finally separated from Noxus and took root in this voodoo land where ordinary people could hardly survive, far away from war and suffering... Now, in this How could they, who were enjoying peace and freedom in a paradise-like place, return to Noxus again?

"Did I hear you right?"

"Did you just say... that you 'rejected'? You also said... that you no longer want to be involved in the 'Great Vortex of Noxus'?"

Jerry Coswain didn't care about the magic agreement that the other party sent back with a spell, but with a face full of astonishment, he asked the two stern faces opposite him in that incredible tone, obviously clearly The two couples expressed their refusal and their attitudes were very decisive.

"Ah……"

"This, this is simply ridiculous! Don't you think you are no longer the children of Noxus?!"

With a tone of sarcasm and irony, Jerry Coswain slapped the parchment magic agreement stubbornly floating in front of him on the stone table, and then tried his best to suppress his anger. He scolded with a trembling tone of voice in his majesty.

Before coming, although he had thought about many possibilities, he had thought that the other party would accept it conditionally, and also thought that the other party was greedy and wanted to get more things... For this reason, he specially prepared a lot of rebuttals and rejections ?

But how can I think...

Now, the other party really didn't accept it at all, directly rejected all his proposals, and also expressed that he didn't want to have any relationship or contact with Noxus?

How dare these people, these peaceful factions who defected back then, think so? !

Sure enough, the other preparation that the female companion LeBlanc next to him asked him to do was not completely unreasonable... For the two couples in front of him, and for this gray order, what Swain thought was still Some are a little too optimistic.

"You are right!"

"Although I feel very sorry for letting the two of you go for nothing, I still have to remind Your Excellency Swain again!"

"All of us..."

"We, the Gray Order and our people, were no longer part of the Noxus Empire when we were persecuted and had to leave Noxus more than a decade ago."

"For this, we are sure! And you, it's best to admit it?!"

Seeing that the other party seemed to turn his back on him, the Shadow Priestess Amoline retorted neither humble nor overbearing, completely ignoring the hideous expression on the other party's face and the invisible strong pressure on her body.

because,

This is the land of voodoo, the residence of their gray order, not Noxus, nor the Immortal Fortress!

In their own territory, she obviously wouldn't pay attention to the Grand Commander in charge of the entire Noxus and the trick witch LeBlanc!

Let’s face it, even if it’s not here, but in other places without any support or mage tower assistance, if it’s about individual strength, in a two-on-two situation, Amoline and her husband Gregory It's not necessarily that they will be afraid of the two people on the opposite side!

Even when they really fight, it's like 50-50 at most?

And if, like now, she is in their gray order resident...then, she is absolutely sure of winning, and she will never give the other party the slightest chance!

"Ah……"

"I seem to understand...you people, your gray order, you group of self-exiles, it seems that you are determined to resist and disobey the will of our Great Noxus?!"

After a short while of silence, finally, Jerry Coswain's expression gradually changed from the previous anger, bewilderment and regret to the cold and cruel look he had when facing the enemy.

Noxus has never shown mercy to the enemies of the empire! !

Because, from the expressions on the faces of the other couple, he could already see that today, the negotiation he came here must have failed without a doubt... Not prepared to compromise at all, and arrogantly and unreasonably rejected all his offers?

That being the case, it seems that there is no need to continue the discussion today...

"snort!"

"Your Excellency Jericho Swain! Let me reiterate one point: our gray order has been separated from the empire more than ten years ago, and has long since ceased to belong to your Noxus!!"

"So, the 'resistance' and 'disobedience' you said are illogical!!"

Seeing the change in the other party's expression, the Shadow Priestess Amoline sneered while secretly guarding herself, and refuted without giving any sympathy.

If it wasn't for the past affection, if it wasn't for her husband Gregory not wanting to bring the relationship between the Gray Order and the Noxus Empire to the level of confrontation, if it weren't for the foundation of their Gray Order is not enough now, If she were to contend with a huge empire that was expanding wildly... She, Amoline, might not even accept the other party's request for negotiation, let alone open the space coordinates to let the other party come here!

After all, Noxus was not friendly to them back then!

And if they hadn't made up their minds to lead the people to escape from Noxus through all kinds of hardships and escape to the land of voodoo, I'm afraid they would have been persecuted long ago, so how could they have the right to survive in this world?

Because of this, Amoline actually didn't have too many surprises or regrets about the current result, and she didn't have much emotion. After all, she had already guessed that the result would be like this, but the other party and her husband Gray Gorey still seems to have some unrealistic fantasies.

Think about it carefully, what Amoline and their gray order want is freedom and a transcendent status, and the other party, whether it is the Noxus leader Jericho Swain in front of him, or the Noxian representative of the other party Sri Lanka Empire, they only want to conquer, rule and annex outrageously and unreasonably?

And this is enough to show that the conflict between the two of them has actually become irreconcilable!

Presumably, one day in the future, their gray order will definitely face off against the Noxus imperial army that has expanded to the land of voodoo, right?

However, that time must be far away...

In any case, after all, their voodoo land has a majestic natural barrier and a large swamp that is highly poisonous. Under normal circumstances, the army will definitely not be able to get through it! Besides, the Noxus Empire is still entangled with the Kingdom of Demacia, the Freljord, and Ionia. It will not be so easy to come to their voodoo land!

Unless, the opponent is really crazy and wants to overdraw the strength of Noxus to fight on all sides at the same time?

Therefore, Amoline feels that they still have enough time to slowly develop and strengthen themselves until the gray order can not fear anyone or power in this land!

After more than ten years of development, the gray order that is now growing stronger day by day, this paradise that is slowly showing the appearance of a magical city-state, makes her very confident and sure that she can achieve what she imagined. to that extent.

What they need now is just time, and that is not too difficult.

Therefore, she now has the confidence to face the Jericho Swain in front of her, face the Noxus leader, and satirize this person who is said to be the most powerful and majestic in Runeterra, and will destroy the entire Noxus Empire. A man who pushes toward glory or destruction! !

"Oh oh..."

oo

At this time, Annie was ravaging her little bear Tibbers on her own, and while humming a ditty, she rubbed the greasy dirt on her hands and face onto the other's body, until all the enchanted fur on the other's body stuck together After getting into a mess, when she was free, she looked a little surprised at the two groups of people who were fighting with arrows.

This situation made her a little puzzled for a while...

Why did the two sides seem to be talking with a smile just now? Why did they become about to fight when she was not paying attention?

"..."

(_)

First, she turned her head to look at her mother Amoline and father Gregory, and then at Uncle Crow and Aunt Pale Face on the other side, Anne finally understood:

It turned out that these grown-ups turned their faces faster than turning a book, even faster than her Lady Queen Anne?

Look at them, just now they looked like hello, me, hello, everyone, and then they seemed to be having dinner together...

But now?

These annoying adults, for some reason, suddenly went crazy, ready to copy guys to fight? !

(…)

s(·｀·;)

(Uncle Tibbers Xiong, who has been tossed about by his bad-hearted little master for a long time and has no clean place on his body, is now in a rage, and naturally has no mood to pay attention to the two groups of people who are confronting each other , and did not pay attention to the conversation between the two parties just now, but struggled helplessly in a pair of white and tender hands, as if trying to break free from the clutches and control of a certain big devil?)

"I see……"

"Is this the final attitude of you and your gray order? However, I have to warn you one thing here: I will not tolerate any forces existing in the south of the hinterland of the empire, in this voodoo land of our empire! "

"Especially... a group of mages like you!?"

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed the magic contract parchment and crumpled it into a ball. Only then did Jerry Coswain sullenly stand up from his seat, staring at the other side with a very unfriendly expression. The two couples who also stood up on guard and warned viciously.

In fact, what he said, Swain, did not discount it in any way. What he said was also the current attitude of the Noxus Empire towards the gray order.

After all, Voodooland is just south of Noxus, just south of the Great Barrier!

And if there were a group of ordinary people entrenched here... they would definitely not be so nervous, let alone send people to discuss the matter of merging into the empire! Because, including their Noxus elite army, no one can easily cross that magnificent barrier and cross the voodoo land full of death traps.

but……

If the opponent is a group of mages, then the situation is very different.

Almost everyone in Runeterra knew that if any powerful mage, or a group of powerful mage organizations, wanted to travel freely to any place in Runeterra, it would not be too easy!

Therefore, with the development and growth of the gray order, the other party inevitably entered their Noxus vision not long ago, becoming a group of existences who are like thorns in the side and thorns in the flesh... And this is exactly what he, Swain The reason for being here today.

But the result...

"I just heard the most ridiculous words in this Runeterra!"

Hearing that the other party kept saying that Voodoo Land belonged to Noxus, the Shadow Priestess Amoline exploded on the spot, and threw off her husband Gregory's hand, angrily took a step forward, and glared at the other party's face. The gloomy face retorted:

"Lord Swain!"

"Now, I have to tell you a fact that the entire Runeterra knows: As far as I know, the land of Voodoo Land does not belong to your Noxus, whether it was more than ten years ago or ten years ago Now, years later, it is not within the territory of your empire, nor does it belong to any country or force!"

"Even before we arrived, there wasn't even a single living person here!"

"So there is no doubt that after our gray order has survived and transformed here for more than ten years, this uninhabited land already belongs to our gray order!"

"About this, I am more sure than you!"

"If you have any objections to this, I suggest: Your Excellency Jerry Coswain, the leader of Noxus who is forgetful, if your body is too old to remember certain facts, then, when you are free, please Go to the library of the Noxus Empire, and look through your map records carefully, lest you accidentally throw your troops into the sea when you are commanding the army to fight?"

In a fit of rage, Amoline made a series of acrimonious words that didn't give her any face!

Then, she was still a little bit puzzled after she finished speaking, and even insinuated the other party's broken and old body, and signaled to some old and immortal guy, it's time to retire from the position of Noxus leader?

"No problem..."

"When I go back later, I will ask the clerk to merge the territory of Voodoo Land into the Noxus Empire. It is really easy..."

"What do you think, Ms. Amoline, the Shadow Priestess?"

Whether or not the land of voodoo belonged to the Noxus Empire was something Swain didn't care about.

Because, as he said, even if this place did not belong to the Noxus Empire before, after they marked the emblem of the empire on the map, this place began to be, no!

As long as he, Swain, the leader of Noxus, wants this to be the territory of the empire, then this is it! Regarding this point, their current Great Noxus has absolute strength to do it, and no one can doubt it!

"snort!"

"That's really a pity... Our gray order will only admit that this land belongs to us forever! Therefore, any stranger or 'strange army' who appears south of the magnificent barrier will be expelled by us, or Is it... to enjoy the most ruthless spell attack of our gray order mage group?!"

Seeing that the other party was so shameless and unreasonably trying to annex the land of voodoo, the Shadow Priestess Amoline became calm and laughed out of her agitation. Then, facing the other party's attitude tit for tat, was her Amoline's seldom revealed threat and cold eyes that sounded murderous.

Amoline is not kidding, because, in the land of voodoo, after their mage tower is running, that kind of strategic spell is enough to threaten any enemy who sets foot in this vast land of voodoo! At that time, before they approach here, they will be mercilessly attacked by various spells!

Presumably at that time, under the natural threat of magic and voodoo land, there will definitely not be too many people who can live close to their resident here.

"Yeah?"

"If you do that, when the time comes, what awaits you will only be the ruthless conquest of Noxus!!"

He Jerry Coswain has never been afraid of any threats, and their Great Noxus has never been afraid of any enemies!

Over the years, countless city-states and forces have been wiped out by the Noxus Iron Legion, and countless powerful enemies have been turned into dry bones... So much so that now the empire has become the most powerful country on Valoran!

The Noxians have long been accustomed to fierce confrontations with any kind of enemy, and they will retaliate, and they will never return! If the final decision of this gray order is what the other party just said, then there is no doubt that their fate is actually doomed.

"..."

"Sorry, Lord Swain..."

"I'm afraid, this is the main reason why we left Noxus back then! Because we can't accept your crazy external expansion ****!"

"We don't approve of your attitude of constantly conquering, expanding, conquering and destroying, and worshiping power! Because we are a group of mages, and what we explore is the mysteries of the world, not what you think. The blood and the flames of war!"

"So, Swain..."

"Please give up! Please don't embarrass us again? And I can assure you here: our gray order will not participate in any war in Runeterra. There's no need to be so aggressive..."

After his wife finished singing the black face, the mystic Gregory naturally began to sing the red face, speaking to the leader of Noxus with an uncertain face, and to that Jericho Swain Soft words that would not embarrass both parties too much.

Although the gray order currently hiding in the voodoo land is not afraid of the troops of the Noxus Empire daring to cross the magnificent barrier to attack, but for Gregory, if he speaks a few soft words, he can lose a powerful force. For the enemy, it is obviously extremely cost-effective!

"No……"

"Noxus has never been conquered for the sake of conquering. The reason why we fight, kill, and conquer is just to live!"

"Gregory..."

"The Noxian Empire needs no allies, no friends..."

"If you don't express your surrender, I'm afraid we can only become enemies... As for enemies, I, Great Noxus, will always only conquer and kill!"

"So, please carefully consider the agreement I proposed earlier?"

Although he felt that it was impossible to change the other party's decision with just a few words, but after thinking about it, Swain finally persuaded the last sentence with good words for Gregory's sake.

If the other party is still obsessed with obsession, then the end of the other party, the end of this gray order, is already doomed!

I haven't finished the modification, I will see if I can add a chapter later, because it is 00 o'clock, and the time is too late oo Fupin Chinese
