Li Qing followed Karma's steps and walked down the street outside the temple. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the midst of the pace, the Ionians were idle, and though both of them were worried and restless at the moment, even if they were to run wildly through the streets, it would be a futile effort.

Just a war.

There should be a thousand vanguard troops entering Noxus, and less than 200 survived, and although Noxus punished deserters severely, there were still very few Noxians willing to surrender, and Karma allowed them to leave. In the end, only a few dozen people were recruited.

The archers that Reginad had rescued had already gone to the armory to receive their weapons, and they should be able to start training tomorrow, and with their joining, the firepower would be enough to defend against the sturdy and winding walls of Presidium.

A brilliant victory indeed.

But the real problems that plague people often come from within, not from the outside.

"Is it really good?" Li Qing finally couldn't help but ask. "You want me to be the commander of this city defense."

"You are a hero, Li Qing." "People want to be led by heroes. I'll take care of the matter of Zelos for you, he will be your deputy, and you will need to ask him most questions about the city, he has been in office for a few years, and knows more about the walls. ”

"I hope so, but I just met Zelos in the main fort, and he doesn't look happy at all."

"He's like this, don't take it to heart, Li Qing. Zelos was not well received by the soldiers, and was often annoyed in the army, but his decisiveness and bravery were what I admired most about him. However, he had always felt that he had been so high because of his origin, his father, Master Rito, and that he had always ...... Well...... Very desperate. Karma thought about it for a moment and came up with a more appropriate descriptive word.

"Flying Sword Saint Rito? Where is he now? ”

"Passed away, not long ago."

Li Qing was silent and mourned silently for a moment.

"It's a pity that the House of Elders has taken back my military power and is furious at my private mobilization of troops. Fortunately, your appointment was made before that and should still be valid. Kalmar noticed that the atmosphere was too heavy and smiled.

"The old diehards refuse war, they want to settle it in some mild way, but unfortunately the opponent is the Noxians, as happened to the town of Sunhunt that day, Noxus hates the weak and cowards, and is happy to kill them all. But it's not so much a rejection as it is ...... They are running away, running away from war. ”

"I want to, too." Karma smiled self-deprecatingly, "Ionia doesn't know what war is. ”

"Nobody wants to face war." Li Qing said, "But this is a battle to defend our homeland, Karma, we can't stand still." Take back the military power? It doesn't affect you, Karma, and your power lies in faith, not power. The Ionians are willing to follow you and rally under your banner. ”

"Mr. Reginard has said the same thing." Karma said, his face a little gloomy.

"It's really lost to him, it seems that I really gave him the life to clean up the mess."

"You're old friends?"

"Well, don't mention the past. How many people in the city are cultivating psionic energy like you? ”

"About two hundred psionics. What's wrong? What does this do, you ask? ”

"Ioniado warriors, there are no magicians, so I want these psionics to go into battle."

"The Psionic Spell is not used to hurt people." Karma was a little surprised.

"And what about your spell today? It was terrifyingly powerful, and such a powerful energy and its own strange sense were enough to scare their guts. Hopefully, Lord Karma can train these psionics to fight, even if it's just to provide blessings and protection to the army. ”

"You...... Did you see that? She looked at Li Qing's blindfolded eyes, and the fabric of the blindfold revealed the blurred outline of the eyelids. She always felt that he was not blind.

"I can't see it, but I can feel it, that dragon might. Although it was not a real dragon, its power was by no means comparable to that of ordinary spells. He chuckled dryly, "Maybe the guardian god Ao Xing is really just a legend." ”

"That's not a rumor, it's definitely true. It will reappear in the world to protect the land in the midst of Ionia's survival. Touching the guardian dragon of faith, Karma couldn't help but raise her eyes and stare at him.

"It's a pity that we're on our own right now." Li Qing wiped away the offense with a smile. "It seems that Ao Xing believes that we mortals can solve it."

Karma nodded, and in his eyes, the confusion became deeper and deeper: "There will be a meeting of the House of Elders tomorrow, I am not sure, except for Elder Gondor, I am almost unsure of any strong supporters." ”

Li Qing grinned, revealing a neat row of white teeth. "You need to get some rest, Lord Apocalypse. I promise, it's hundreds of times harder to deal with those old things than it is to deal with the Noxians. ”

"Tell me about your plans." Karma doesn't seem to want to rest. "About this war."

"Me?" Li Qing asked knowingly, "The north of Ionia City is mostly farmland, the west is bordered by vast forests, and the east is across the mountains. Noxus came from the south road, and the main direction of attack should also be on the south road. ”

"What if they attack the northern route?"

"It's hard to say, how do I know what they think, but ...... I plan to hang the banner of the Noxian vanguard that I have destroyed today on the gate south of the city to attract the enemy. ”

"Noxians value strength and cannot tolerate shame." Karma nodded in agreement.

"Also, I'm going to build a wooden wall south of the city." Li Qing said.

"Wooden walls?"

"Yes, the wood is light, it's easy to build, a few days are enough to build, and it's enough to stop Noxus. Moreover, most of the wooden houses in the outer city have been demolished by order of Reginald, and the wood that has been demolished is just enough to build a wall. ”

Karma listened quietly, a little surprised, just the chaotic scene he saw all the way back to the city, Li Qing even noticed this.

"The rest," Li Qing sighed and smiled helplessly, "Reginard has done too well. The walls have been repaired with fortifications and the ditches have been deepened. Four or five new wells have been dug in the city, and the supply is sufficient. The field hospital has also been prepared, and all the food for the residents has been centralized and uniformly distributed. I can barely add anything. ”

"I wish he was alive."

"I don't think he's dead." Li Qing said, moving the muscles and bones of his right arm. "This kind of thing is still suitable for him to do, but it's really hard for me."

Karma smiled, and the aura of the mantra rose, "May he be blessed with a great life." ”

"Kalmar-sama! Balance three forbearance to see. A soldier ran over and reported.

"Balanced three ninjas?" She was encouraged by the news. "What about the rest of the sect?"

"Dead." A voice sounded coldly, and with it, the figure in metal armor appeared in front of Karma without warning.

It's the mask of the Eye of Twilight.

"He took advantage of Master's guilt for him and killed Master. Shadow Flow took advantage of the weakness and gave the Balance Sect a hard blow. Although the Shadow Stream also suffered heavy losses, the situation was very unfavorable for Ionia. There are people behind them who are strong enemies. I'm afraid we're not going to have more than one Du Kecao to deal with. ”

Karma almost couldn't believe that the person in front of him was Shen.

However, the tone of his narration was as plain as talking about the weather, but the "master" he just said was his biological father.
