Chapter 27 Leblanc Is so Understanding, I’ll Go!
As Hargod said, the war will not really affect Noxus, because after the legion led by the baron appeared on the front line, the Noxians stopped invading the west of Valoran, but wandered around the border. They neither fought nor retreated, which was annoying.
But for this matter, Rowende said that this was what Demacia had done.
As one of the strongest kingdoms in Valoran, Demacia likes peace and pursues justice. Therefore, Demacia has never fought an invasion war so far. All the wars fought so far are wars to defend the country. Noxus once occupied most of the territory in the middle area of Valoran, and Demacia did not occupy those territories after winning the battle, resulting in those lands now either being rebuilt into small city-states or uninhabited lands.
Demacia has been isolated since ancient times, taking things as they come, and although it is brave, it is not good at fighting.
Therefore, the Noxians also learned one thing later, that is, as long as we wander around the border, the Demacians will not take the initiative to attack us, and even if we get closer and insult the Demacians at the border defense line, they will just look at us indifferently.
It's very rigid.
But in the same way, if there is a real war, the Noxian soldiers who have insulted the Demacia border troops will die the fastest.
Because they are abiding by the rules, but it does not mean that they have no emotions.
You are the one who insulted me, right? !
I will chop you with one knife!
But in other words, isn't the current behavior of the Noxians also a defense against Demacia?
After all, Noxus's current troops have been sent to Ionia, and the whole country has used its power to attack Ionia. If Demacia suddenly launches an invasion war at this time, then Noxus will really be difficult to defend.
When the forces of both sides were equal, Demacia could crush them all the way, not to mention that the forces of both sides were not equal now, and the defense line around the country was not strong enough.
But the problem came again.
Demacia would not take the initiative to start a war.
This sounds stupid, right? But this is Demacia, stubborn to the point of being pedantic, but really able to stick to its original intention.
Therefore, the only trouble Rowan encountered in Noxmochi at the moment was Leblanc's clone.
Fortunately, Leblanc's clone did not do anything.
On such days, Rowan simply started to train the soldiers again. He selected the soldiers of the Sixth Army and the Third Army one by one, used the Sky Exploration, and looked at the panel one by one, and then divided the teams according to the skill levels they knew, and arranged the training tasks in batches.
At first, the soldiers of the Sixth Army and the Third Army, like the soldiers of the Seventh Army, questioned Rowan's extremely high-intensity training. However, after the high-intensity training, they were able to recover their energy after only one night's rest, and they could train again the next day. So they soon became like the Seventh Army and admired Rowan.
Rowan's outrageous combat power originally made them respect him very much, not to mention that Rowan could now lead them to train and become stronger. Naturally, although the two hundred small legions would not become Rowan's one-man show, their recognition of Rowan would not change after returning to Demacia.
Three more days passed, and in the evening, Rowan was approached by the herald of Nokmurchi, saying that Ambassador Hargot was looking for him.
Rowan went to King Mardon's meeting room, and when he entered, he saw Hargot stroking his beard, looking at him and saying loudly: "Come here, Rowan, I have something to say."
Rowan walked forward and stood aside in silence.
Good news, Leblanc is not in the meeting room. Bad news, Leblanc is now guarding outside, holding a plate.
Aren't there no other maids in the royal family of Noxus? Why is Leblanc the same face in the royal family every day?
Rowan thought it was a bit outrageous
But after thinking about it, Rowan thought that this was Leblanc's ability. King Mardon might have been bewitched by Leblanc. Therefore, where there is a king, there must be Leblanc.
Hargot said: "Everyone, the Far East battlefield has entered a white-hot stage, but it is strange to say that there are many talented people on the Ionian continent, but after being invaded by Noxus, Ionia was like a piece of paper that was broken with a poke." Hargot said and glanced at Rowan.
In Hargot's view, Rowan is a typical Ionian.
Ionia is a very poor place, but in poverty, Ionia is also full of mystery. Demacia knows the existence of Ionia, but it has very little contact with Ionia. No, it should be said that there are few countries in the world that can have contact with Ionia.
Let's put it this way.
Demacia is already closed enough, right?
But in terms of closedness, Ionia is actually far more than Demacia!
Therefore, Ionia is mysterious and powerful, and such a powerful country that is open to the outside world has now been conquered by Noxus in less than half a month, and one-fifth of its land has been conquered.
No, what's the situation? To put it bluntly! Even if the Noxians go to Ionia for tourism, it is difficult to travel one-fifth of Ionia's land in half a month, right?
Not to mention that they went to war in the past!
What on earth are the Ionians doing? Don't they all resist? Facing the swords and guns brought by the Noxians, how could their country be lost so quickly? Did they all stretch their necks to catch the knife?
Hallgold continued to read, and the corners of his mouth became more and more twitching as he read.
The old knight was really confused. How could Ionia be lost so easily?
"It's broken, everyone, originally I thought there would be no war in the west this time, but now it seems that Noxus is already sending troops back. Ionia has no resistance at all, and Noxus will send a large number of troops back." The soldiers were taken back, leaving only one legion to carry out destruction and camp on Ionia," Halgold said in a deep voice.
King Marton turned pale after hearing this: "Then what should we do now?"
"Don't worry, the Fearless Vanguard has already set off." Halgold said.
The Dauntless Vanguard is the most powerful legion in Demacia and the most capable individual soldier in Valoran.
Hearing the Fearless Vanguard's departure, King Marton breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "That is really troublesome to His Majesty Jarvan III."
"The war has officially begun. In the following time, please ask King Marton to arrange soldiers to defend. And Rowan, arrange your soldiers in a shield formation of 8 people at the two city gates to help Guard the city gate," Halgold said.
Rowan nodded and replied: "Okay, Your Excellency."
"Well, next"
Halgold wanted to say something again, but he saw a messenger suddenly rush in, accompanied by a soldier covered in blood.
"Report——"
The two of them rushed in, and everyone in the conference room looked over.
"The Griffin Rangers are requesting support from Nokmurchi! One of our teams was trapped by the Noxians in the Land of the Macrostone, and the situation is very critical!" Next to the messenger, the blood-stained knight He knelt down on one knee and said anxiously loudly.
It can be seen that he broke in all the way.
"Speak carefully." Halgold stared at him and said loudly.
"Yes!" The soldier swallowed, adjusted his breathing, and then said: "I am Lance Mauch, the son of the lord of Gerry Town. I am currently serving as a reconnaissance soldier in the third shield of the Griffin Ranger Regiment. Our team While investigating the war between Noxus and the Freljord, I was surrounded by the Noxians. Now they are fleeing in the Macrostone Forest under Tukul, and I am the only one who escaped."
"Knockmooch is the closest place, so I'm here to ask for support!"
"No, this is wrong," Halgold lowered his head and said thoughtfully.
"This is wrong!" He raised his head and said with certainty: "Why were you discovered at this time? Now the Noxian army has been assembled and deployed here, and the war has begun on the front line, so Nok Murch cannot send troops, nor can he send troops for any support."
"But -" Ranger Lance paused, opened his mouth, but only said one word, then he nodded and said in a deep voice: "I understand, I will pass the news back."
King Marton asked in confusion: "Send it back? You want to go back? Wait! Do you still need to send it back?"
Lance smiled bitterly and said: "I can't abandon my teammates. They sacrificed their lives to let me escape and asked me to apply for support. But looking at it now, you are right. This is probably a Noxus conspiracy." .
Knockmooch cannot be lost, so I will go back and try to bring back more news. If I fail to come back, it means I am dead, but I will at least pass this news to my teammates. We can't let them die with hope in a desperate situation. This is a cruel thing, so I want to go back. "
Hallgold remained silent.
Rowan was a little hesitant, then thought for a while and then said: "If the soldiers of Knockmooch can't be sent out, then, where are my soldiers? I have a group of people with good riding skills under me. With their foot strength, , it won’t take half a day at most to get to Hongshi Forest.”
"so--???"
While talking, Rowan suddenly stopped and looked outside, and saw no one except a beautiful maid outside the door.
But Rowan suddenly fell silent.
Because, the system suddenly prompted him.
[LeBlanc’s favorability towards you increases]
[LeBlanc’s current favorability is sporadic]
No, it's strange that your favorability suddenly increased. What's even more strange is that your favorability is still sporadic.
Rowan took a breath and looked outside the door, immediately understanding what had happened.
So, LeBlanc wants me to send the soldiers out?
If I send Demacia's soldiers out, what can LeBlanc do?
She will appear here, and she really wants to do something to Nokmochi.
Thinking of this, Rowan said tentatively: "How about we stop sending it?"
Halgold breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Rowan would get hot-headed and mess up his position in order to save his compatriots.
Where's Rowan?
Rowan's expression didn't change, but inside he was completely speechless.
[LeBlanc’s hatred towards you increases]
[LeBlanc’s current hatred value is one star]
"."
Sure enough, is that so?
Lance's original expression of joy also disappeared, but he didn't say anything. Yes, he didn't complain at all.
But Rowan suddenly said, "Halgod, will it have any impact if we send a team to try to rescue them?"
"That depends on how many people you send." Hargod frowned, and then said, "If we send too many people, Noxus's defense will be affected, but if we send too few people, it will be difficult to rescue them from Noxus."
"How many people do you plan to send?"
"Thirty people?"
[Leblanc's hatred towards you increases]
[Leblanc's current hatred value is one star]
Before Hargod spoke, Rowan immediately added, "Fifty?"
[Leblanc's favorability towards you increases]
[Leblanc's current hatred value is 0.5 stars]
"."
Hey, it's a bit interesting!
If there are fewer troops sent out, Leblanc will be angry, and if there are more troops sent out, Leblanc will be happy.
How can she be so easy to understand!
No, it's just that I have a system. Otherwise, if someone else comes, can I know that this maid is Leblanc?
Not to mention Demacia, even most of the high-ranking officials in Noxus don't know who Leblanc is.
Therefore, this is a game that only Rowan knows.
Rowan began to think about it.
Then, Rowan tentatively said, "How about I go alone?"
[Leblanc's hatred towards you increases]
[Leblanc's current hatred value is 1.5 stars]
Okay, Leblanc doesn't know my combat power.
And the legion is staying in Noxmochi, which will obviously destroy Leblanc's plan.
Then.
Can I go?
Rowan was a little entangled.
But after thinking about it, Rowan felt that he had to go.
Because he couldn't stop doing anything against Leblanc just because he was afraid of Leblanc, right?
Is he going to let Rowan watch Leblanc's plan?
Although Leblanc is a person with great wisdom, nine out of ten strategies are wrong, but who knows whether her plan this time will succeed?
Rowan can't bet on that possibility, and he doesn't dare to bet.
"You alone?" Hargot looked at Rowan and said, "Are you kidding?"
"I'm not kidding."
"You are the commander of this legion. If you go out, who will lead them?" Hargot asked puzzledly.
"Of course it's you from the Crown Guard family." Rowan said to him.
Hargot stopped talking.
Not to mention that he used to lead troops frequently more than 20 years ago. Now, although he can't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in person, he will become more and more incompetent in commanding the army as he gets older.
Hargot doesn't think his leadership ability is worse than Rowan, even though he can see that the army trusts this kid very much.
"Are you sure? You may not be able to come back." Hargot asked again.
In fact, Hargot didn't want Rowan to go, but when he heard Rowan say that if he went, the legion would be handed over to him to command, Hargot was a little moved.
It's not against Rowan, but he trusts himself more.
Rowan looked outside the door and saw Leblanc's clone still standing at the door.
Then, Rowan said in a deep voice: "I'll leave now."
Damn it
I obviously hate sacrificing myself for the benefit of others.
But why did I agree now?
Am I really becoming more and more like a Demacian?
No, I'm just confident in my own strength.
Rowan climbed on the horse and murmured in his heart with his equipment on his back.
Yeah, that's right.
I'm just confident in my own strength.
I'm not a stupid Demacian!
Rowan thought so.
