Chapter 130 Demacia, the War Has Begun!

987, mid-August.

Rowan and Lux ​​have been back to Demacia for nearly three months, and during this time, Rowan has witnessed the changes in Demacia, which are small but give Rowan motivation.

Netizens have always felt that Demacia is safe, but too pedantic.

The overly self-protective policy has made Demacia out of touch with the times, but for Rowan, it is true that Demacia is closed and pedantic, but if Jarvan III is there, everything will improve, as long as he is alive.

Therefore, Demacia is currently committed to opening ports and deepening cooperation with surrounding small countries. The tracks of the Hextech train have been connected to various places, and only the final operation stage is left.

Once fully implemented, the three Hextech trains running every day will allow Demacia to completely connect Valoran, reducing freight costs and promoting relations with neighboring countries.

Not to mention that the ban on magic is also being promoted in secret. This can be seen from the fact that Jarvan III waved his hand a while ago and directly ordered a sharp reduction in the number of magic-hunting groups in front of all the nobles.

Jarvan III couldn't hold back. When he took action against the magic-hunters, Rowan was also on the scene. No noble dared to come forward at that time.

Because now, the interests of the nobles are tied to Hextech, and Hextech is in the hands of Jarvan III. To put it bluntly, banning magic is actually related to interests. Therefore, there are greater interests at the moment, and the nobles unanimously stand in line and lean towards Jarvan III.

And when these people who control the country have unified their direction, the direction of the people will also be very clear.

The interesting thing is that Lux once complained to Rowan at the dinner table about this matter, saying that his uncle was very unhappy about this matter, and privately spoke ill of His Majesty in the Crownguard Manor, and sought help from his aunt, but the result was that he was slapped hard by Tiana, and then he became honest.

Rowan could only say that Lady Tiana was really fierce.

Then, Rowan looked at Lux again. Hmm. Lux would definitely not be as fierce as Tiana. Lux was a very kind and reasonable person!

In short, it was really easy to spend this time in Demacia. Rowan didn't need to go to the barracks. He chatted with Sona Lux every day, bought some delicious food to bring back to Kassa, and time passed day by day.

And today, Rowan was going to find Sona as usual, and then go to the drama together. As a result, Rowan just arrived at the gate of the Bouville family's manor, and the fully armed knight on horseback found Rowan.

"Sir Rowan, the king summoned you!"

The middle-aged knight said loudly, holding the reins. Behind him, there was a group of gray horses. He looked at Rowan and said, "Please get on the horse. Time is urgent. The king asked you to get to the throne mountain quickly."

Rowan paused, looked at the Bouville manor, then looked at the knight, and then he walked forward and jumped on the horse.

The sudden summons were so urgent. This was the first time Rowan had seen Jarvan III like this.

After a while——

On the throne mountain, Rowan handed the horse to the knight, and then walked out of the palace accompanied by his servants.

After entering the palace, the first thing Rowan saw was Jarvan III sitting on the upper seat, and then a group of blushing ladies of Piltover, and a group of thoughtful Demacia ministers.

"Rowan, come here." Jarvan III extended his hand to Rowan.

Rowan walked forward, and before he could ask Jarvan III what he wanted, a lady of Piltover came up to him.

"Sir Rowan, it's bad, Piltover was attacked!"

"What?" Rowan was stunned.

Jarvan III explained, "Just now, they came to me and said that Piltover was attacked by Noxus. Although the people of Piltover tried their best to stop them, they still failed to drive away the Noxians. Now the Noxians have landed at the port, so they asked for help from Demacia and hoped that Demacia could send troops."

After Jarvan III finished speaking, he looked at Rowan and said, "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, of course we have to go!" Rowan said immediately.

Jarvan III nodded and said, "I have prepared the army, and the Hextrain is also being prepared. The soldiers can set off at any time."

"Piltover is Demacia's ally. If the ally suffers, Demacia has no reason not to take action. Therefore, here, Tep, Donis, I summon you to go to the military district now and gather the army!"

Among the nobles of Demacia, two men in silver armor came out and half-knelt and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Tiana, point out the dragon bird troops and send a troop to Piltover first. At the same time, let our scouts go to get the news in advance!"

Beside Jarvan III, Tiana came out, holding the silver sword, and looked up and said, "Yes."

"Rowen." Jarvan III looked at Rowan and hesitated.

Then, he made a decision.

The future of Demacia belongs to young people like Rowan, Jarvan IV, and Garen, and now is obviously the time for Rowan to continue to increase his reputation and honor. Therefore, Jarvan III is ready to let Rowan go to Piltover as well.

But just as Rowan was looking at Jarvan III and was about to speak, a servant rushed in.

"Report!"

"Information came from the highland city of Mithril City, encountering Freljordians outside the Snow Mountains!!!"

The soldier rushed in and shouted loudly.

Jarvan III was stunned and shouted: "Calm down, tell us the details!"

The attendant paused, picked up the Hex Transmitter, and said loudly: "Not long ago, the scouts of Mithril City sent a message to the Crown Guards using the Hex Transmitter. After the Crown Guards investigated, a group of Freljords were attacking Urwendel!"

"According to the scouts, the number of this group of Freljords is about 3,000!"

"3,000 people?!"

"How is this possible? Aren't the Freljords we met in the past only a few dozen people? At most, there are one or two hundred people. How could they gather 3,000 people?"

"They are going to attack us!"

The attendant's words made the scene chaotic.

Rowan's face twitched, then he looked at the attendant and snatched the transmitter.

Then, Rowan looked down and read.

A row of messages, and just when Rowan got the transmitter, there was also a message sent in.

[Mithril City has sent soldiers to guard Urwendel! But we don't have enough people, and we urgently need support from the Hero City! 】

【I have never seen a group of Freljordians in the North. They are well-trained, wearing very little clothes in the cold and icy weather, riding wild boars and ice wolves, and are elite warriors! 】

【One of our scout teams has lost contact, and it is very likely that they have been captured by the enemy! 】

Wearing very little clothes in the ice and snow.

Riding wild boars and ice wolves

Having an army of more than 3,000 people

What the hell!

Rowen's eyes widened, and he instantly thought of something.

Isn't this definitely the Claw of Winter? !

There must be quite a few Freljordians riding wild boars in the entire North, but if you want to say that they can meet these three conditions, then what else can it be but the Claw of Winter?

Wearing very little clothes and being able to move in the ice and snow, this is the ice bloodline, the Iceborn warrior!

Having more than 3,000 warriors, only two tribes can do this, one is Ashe's Avarosa, and the other is Sejuani's Winter Claw!

The reason why Juvask, who rides on a boar, is famous is not because of how strong these boars are, but because the owner of one boar is too strong!

All signs indicate that the Freljord tribe that is attacking Urwendel right now is the Claw of Winter!

But the question is again!

Why in the year 987, when Azir has not yet been resurrected, Swain has not yet been able to govern the country, and Irelia has not officially served as the leader of the rebels, would Sejuani's Claw of Winter attack Demacia?

This timeline is really completely messed up!

In the original timeline, the Freljord people did attack Demacia, and it was indeed the Claw of Winter that came, but the problem was that there were not so many people coming! She only gave one troop to Sylas, and let Sylas lead the attack on Demacia, and the powerful Iceborn warriors easily rushed into Demacia. The powerful warriors of Demacia were like a joke in front of the Ice Bloodline.

This is not surprising, because apart from the Fearless Vanguard, the difference between Demacia's elite soldiers and the Ice Blood is really the difference between a child and an adult.

Because the Ice Blood is a treasure given to the Freljord people by the void creatures who first came to Runeland. The first watchers who came to Freljord gave the Ice Blood to the Freljord people, making them powerful.

The first place where humans lived in Runeland was not Valoran, nor Shurima, but Freljord!

Tracing back to the ancestors, people from all over the world, regardless of whether you are from Shadow Isles, Bilgewater, the Twin Cities, Demacia, Noxus, or the Shurima Empire, are all Freljord people!

Therefore, even if you only have a trace of Ice Blood, your growth limit has already surpassed that of mortals.

And the Winter Claw has many such warriors!

This is also why Darius, the top warrior among humans, was captured by a small force of Sejuani.

So why?

Even without Sylas as a guide, the Winter Claw would come to Demacia?

And there are 3,000 of them!

In Runeterra, this is already a large army. Demacia has fought many battles, but it is rare for it to send out 3,000 soldiers at a time.

In contrast, Freljord, which is sparsely populated and has no ability to perceive news from the outside world, but Sejuani sent out 3,000 people at a time

Is it because of what I did?

But I haven't been to Freljord!

Demacia doesn't have any trade with Freljord!

And Jarvan III responded very quickly. He said: "Stay the same. The army supporting Piltover must take the Hex train in an hour, and then, Tiana, you will lead the Fearless Vanguard to Urwendale!"

"Yes!" Tiana said loudly.

"Rowen, you are going to Piltover too," Jarvan III said.

"No, Your Majesty." Rowan interrupted Jarvan III instantly, which was very rude.

But Jarvan III was not angry, but looked at Rowan and said curiously: "Don't you have friends in Piltover? Don't you want to help your friends in person?"

"I would like to, Your Majesty, but not now." Rowan took a deep breath and said.

At the same time, the Hextech transmitter sent the latest news.

[Magus lost his life, and before he died, news came. The tribe that attacked us was the Winter's Claw, and its leader was a person named Sejuani. She had white hair and wore a helmet with a missing corner. She was riding on On a huge wild boar. 】

"."

"Your Majesty, the Freljordians are dangerous, very, very dangerous." Rowan felt a headache when he saw the message on the transmitter.

"Danger?" Jarvan III narrowed his eyes, "Mithril City and the former Forsbarrow also often came into contact with the Freljords. They are no different from the Noxians."

"What's more, the soldiers we sent are fearless vanguards." Jarvan III added.

Rowan didn't know what to say to Jarvan III. He just looked at Jarvan III seriously and repeated again: "Your Majesty, they are really dangerous."

"."

Jarvan III fell silent.

At the scene, a Demacian noble planned to tease Rowan, but just as he was about to speak, Xin Zhao looked at him sharply from behind Jarvan III, his eyes cold.

Xin Zhao believes in Luo Wen.

Because if Luo Wen, who has already surpassed him, can tell him that it is dangerous, then of course Xin Zhao will believe it.

After being silent for a long time, Jarvan III looked at Rowan and said, "So you want to go to Irwindale?"

"Yeah." Rowan nodded.

Jace Victor and the others are very important, but at the moment, Swain has not yet come to power in Noxus. With the current combat power of the Noxians, it is impossible for them to destroy the Twin Cities in a few days, because Jace After Si came to power, Heimerdinger stepped down. Without Heimerdinger's obstruction, the Twin Cities also developed a lot of Hex weapons.

Although there are few warriors in the Twin Cities, the powerful Hex weapons can help the people of Piltover protect the city, not to mention Janna, who has awakened a lot of power.

Never underestimate the gods!

Although Janna is kind and unwilling to harm humans, if it comes to the life and death of Zaun and Piltover, then Janna will definitely take action. She may not kill the Noxians, but she will definitely Use the wind to drive away all the Noxians.

Then, when Demacia's soldiers arrived, the Twin Cities were completely safe.

Therefore, the interests of the two cities will be damaged at most. If it is ideal enough, no one will even die in this attack!

But what about your own side?

The situation faced by Demacia is different.

Because, Sejuani came in person!

Besides Pig Girl, who else could the image described on the transmitter be?

In fact, it is not true that Rowan is afraid of Sejuani. After all, if Rowan finds that he cannot beat Sejuani after they meet, then Galio will be there and let Lux act as a power bank. , just call Galio.

Not to mention that there are many extraordinary beings in Demacia now.

Xin Zhao, several swordsmen from Dauntless Vanguard, Tiana, the half-step extraordinary Fiona, plus Rowan, Lux, and Kai'Sa.

With Demacia's current combat power, it is definitely not a problem to defeat Sejuani.

But the problem is that behind Sejuani, there is a god who can crush Galio!

Lord of Thunder, Volibear!

That's right, behind the two major tribes of Freljord, there are original gods protecting each other.

Anivia of Avarosa, Volibear of Winter's Claw.

And Volibear. If Sejuani really calls him, then Rowan really doesn’t know how Demacia can resist.

By Galio?

The unreliable Galio will definitely be crushed by Volibear.

Because there are differences between demigods!

Volibear is the top being among demigods!

Even the stars outside the starry sky would never dare to be presumptuous in front of Volibear!

If the bear is really awakened by Sejuani and joins this war, it will be a war of destruction for Demacia!

Seeing how serious Rowan was, Jarvan III also became wary.

"Tiana, you act now!"

Tiana did not hesitate, opened her long legs, and walked straight out of the door.

Then, Jarvan III looked at Rowan: "You set out for Owendale now. The nearest scouts will obey your orders!"

"Prioritize the evacuation of the people of Owendale, and be sure to protect the safety of every Demacian!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Rowan said loudly.

Jarvan III also stood up. He faced all the nobles, took off the crown, and threw it away. The crown rolled on the steps, and Jarvan III reached back.

Met walked up and handed a sword to Jarvan III's hand.

Looking at the careless nobles, Jarvan III raised his sword and shouted angrily: "Everyone, cheer up!"

"What Rowan said means what I mean. Now, the enemies of Demacia are here! These people from the Freljord are more dangerous beings than the Noxians!"

"Demacia, enter full alert!"

Jarvan III waved his sword. The aura on his body, which had always been amiable, became extremely sharp at this moment, like an unsheathed sword.

With his gray hair and beard blowing, Jarvan III pointed his sword forward, towards the outside of the Throne Mountain, and said loudly:

"Demacia, the war has begun!"
