Chapter 175: Only with a Backer Can You Act Better. Bidao Joins the Alliance!
Demacia, Throne Mountain.
Jarvan III looked at the information in the Hex transmitter and showed a strange expression.
The old butler of the royal family, Met, stood aside. When he saw Jarvan III showing this expression, he immediately had a guess.
Hmm. It's probably the boy Luo Wen who wrote to me again.
What kind of big noise did this kid make outside?
Thinking of the things Rowan had done, Matt's curiosity arose. He looked at Jarvan III and couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, is this the message from Rowan?"
"Yes, he just went to Bilgewater with the vice principal a few hours ago, and now he has written back to me, saying that he will stay in Bilgewater for a few days and deal with some things there. After that, he will I will come back, and in the meantime, you can mention matters about the academy to Laxana." Jarvan III raised his head, put down the Hex transmitter, and picked up the tea cup to drink the warm tea.
Mat suddenly noticed that Jarvan III's hand was trembling slightly, which made Mat ask: "Your Majesty, did that boy Rowan do something in Bilgewater?"
"Why do you think so?" Jarvan III put down the tea cup and looked up at Mate and asked.
Mate paused, then laughed and said: "Your Majesty, in the past few years, that kid went out once, and didn't he make some big noise that time?"
Jiawen III was silent for a while, and then he said in a deep voice: "You are right, that boy has caused big trouble again, and this time, it is really a big deal."
"Does the minister know what he has done?"
"It's okay, it's not a secret. Everyone in Bilgewater has seen it, and maybe everyone in Valoran will know it before too long." Jarvan III waved his hand casually, and then said in a relaxed tone He said in a tone of voice: "I just killed a god-level demon."
"Devil, it is indeed not." Mete nodded, suddenly stunned as he spoke, and then looked at His Majesty blankly.
"God-level demon?"
Jiawen III nodded with a smile on his face: "A god-level demon."
"Your Majesty, are you talking about ordinary demons?"
"No, I'm talking about the god-level demon. Tam Kench is the legend told by the people of Zaun. Rowan, Poppy, and Yumi killed him together." Jarvan III shook his head.
Matt: "Haha."
"Your Majesty, this guy" Met hesitated for a moment, and then he took a deep breath and said.
"With Rowan's current strength, Your Majesty, perhaps no one in the entire Demacia can stop him. If he wants to do something, Your Majesty, Rowan is no longer in control."
Met didn't want to think like this, but as a minister and the minister of Demacia, he had to think like this.
When a person's strength exceeds the "management scope of the king's rights", is this person's existence good or bad?
Met asked the question and then looked at Jarvan III.
But they saw Jarvan III drinking tea relaxedly, pursed his lips and squinted his eyes indifferently.
With his gray beard blowing, Jarvan III said, "Why do we want to control him?"
"Since this kid came to Xiongdu, when have I actually ordered him once? The several times I asked him to go out, weren't they all done by suggestion? They were all with his consent. "Mate, I understand what you mean, and I understand your loyalty to Light Shield and your enthusiasm for Demacia, but don't think of Rowan like this."
Jarvan III looked up at the ceiling, his eyes dark, and continued: "His growth has indeed exceeded everyone's expectations. From the future of Demacia to the current pillar of Demacia, it only took this kid three years. At that time, in Xin Zhao’s words, he was a monster.”
"But Rowan has always maintained the respect he deserves for me, you, and Xin Zhao. He has never been rude to us because his strength has increased. I really can't guarantee that he will do the same in the future, but... What does that have to do with me?”
Jiawen III laughed and said with a chuckle: "How many years can I live? Even if I live a long life, I will only live for thirty more years. When I die, the throne of this country will belong to the prince. What will happen to Luo Wen in the future? , what he will do is all a matter of the fourth life.”
Matt also laughed. He lowered his head and said, "That's what you said."
"By the way, Mate, about Bilgewater, what do you think of that place?"
Matt didn't understand why the old emperor suddenly mentioned Bilgewater, but he immediately replied: "Backward and chaotic, but with good prospects. The Sea of Conquerors is different from the Sea of Watchers. I don't know if it's because of the Titan." The peak is still due to the fishmen below the Watcher's Sea. The fish resources in the Conqueror's Sea are not as good as those in the Watcher's Sea. There are also huge sea beasts there, one of which can feed hundreds of people for several days. "
"Bilgewater is rich in marine resources."
"What if..." Jarvan III tapped his index finger on the table and whispered, "What if Demacia can conquer Bilgewater?"
"What?"
"The boy Rowan said in the Hex transmitter that the current owner of Bilgewater wants to gain the support of Demacia. For this reason, Bilgewater is willing to become a Demacia like the White Cloth Kingdom and Nocmurch. A small country affiliated with Marcia.”
"I think the controller of Bilgewater made such a decision because we are Demacia, not Noxus." Jarvan III said, touching his chin.
Demacia and Noxus are different in many ways, and their attitudes towards surrender and integration into their own countries are also different in war.
Noxus is domineering and cruel, and does not allow small countries to be independent. After being incorporated into Noxus, they are part of Noxus.
But Demacia will not do this. Small countries such as Noxmochi and Baibu are actually vassal states of Demacia, but they have not lost their own country names. At the same time, the country also has its own king, who is not a puppet, but has supreme power.
The only thing Demacia will do is to send an ambassador abroad as a proof of the relationship between the two countries.
Therefore, Jarvan III did not find it strange that Bilgewater chose this way.
But do you really want to conquer that pirate city-state?
Jarvan III thought about it.
——————
988, a sunny day in July.
Many special buildings appeared on Bilgewater, and countless large ships docked at the port of Bilgewater. People carrying containers were traveling back and forth between the port and the ship.
Sarah wore a hat and cool clothes. Looking at the built Hextech flying door, a trace of relief appeared in her eyes.
Hum
Her decision was indeed correct!
It is convenient to act with a backer!
Borrowing Rowan's power, no. It should be said that Sarah easily gained the right to control Bilgewater by just taking Rowan to meet those gang leaders.
Those gang leaders who had once disobeyed Sarah's control immediately lowered their heads when they saw Rowan following Sarah.
They were not stupid. They all saw the scene of Rowan fighting Tam.
So, when they saw this main helper Sarah, they naturally did not dare to have any opinions one by one. They all chose to agree and signed the contract to govern the new pirate city with Sarah.
Therefore, the calendar year 988, July 14th.
The pirate city of Bilgewater announced that it had officially joined the Demacia Alliance, and formed an alliance with Piltover, Zaun, Nokmurch, Uzeris, White Cloth, Gangwa and other countries, becoming another city-state in the alliance.
At the same time, Sarah also has the right for the people of Cyprus to study in the War College.
And Bilgewater also received material and technical assistance from Demacia, and what Bilgewater had to pay was special minerals and rich seafood.
In 988, this year, Rowan killed the demon Tam.
In 988, this year, Bilgewater joined Demacia.
Since then, the Alliance has added another member.
This news caused a sensation in Valoran.
Because once this news came out, it meant that from then on, Valoran was surrounded by enemies of Noxus.
Except for the Freljord in the north, which was not incorporated into the Alliance,
Noxus is now completely surrounded by the countries of the Alliance!
I don’t know what Swain would think now?
Holding the contract and with Yuumi sitting on his shoulder, Rowan thought about this with amusement.
In Swain's cognition, did he ever think that this would happen?
Haha!
Perhaps the day when I meet this peerless commander is not far away?
Rowan thought so.
