Chapter 410: Camp

The two followed Irelia out of the city, only to discover that the so-called rebel camp was actually a refugee camp made up of tents outside the city.

Along the way, Kai'Sa sees many people greeting Irelia, and she stops every time to respond to their salutes and bows.

"You have a lot of followers, but you don't have any boss at all." Kai'Sa said.

"I've never asked them to do that, but they all think of me as a leader. After the war, the rebels grew in number, but there were few familiar faces I can remember. The old rebels had all been replaced by fanatical new fighters who had come from faraway provinces and villages where she had never even heard of. ”

It didn't make Irelia happy, and Kai'Sa saw an invisible and great pressure on her shoulders.

She was completely held to this high position by everyone, and no one cared if she was willing to do it in her heart.

"Do they obey orders?"

"Mostly, yes."

"What about the few?" Kai'Sa asked, and Irelia fell silent again.

They went to the cemetery and saw a group of widowers, widows, orphans and widows, laying offerings on the graves and mourning their dead relatives in front of the tombstones.

Kai'Sa noticed that some of them would look at Irelia with hatred, which made her wonder if Irelia had killed their loved ones.

"They don't seem to like you very much."

"It's not like, what you see is the truth." "The Battle of Stand Up was the first time that the Ionians had risen up against their powerful enemy, Noxus, and I was at the forefront," said Irelia. ”

A soft elegy is heard, an old woman humming at the grave, and Irelia listens attentively and falls into the fond memories of the past.

The singing stopped, and Irelia returned to reality, and said dejectedly:

"Some people think that the way I retaliated with force was wrong, because it awakened violence in people's hearts...... More people joined the rebels to fight for Ionia and died for Ionia. The Navoli Brotherhood tried to rule the land with an iron fist, no better than Noxus, and after the war, the strife in the land of birth never left......"

"And some of those who have lost their relatives and friends in war or riot will blame me for everything, saying that I have killed peace and that I am the culprit of all this. Because from the moment they returned fire with force, their homeland had lost its harmonious balance forever. This is the great price of victory. ”

"Hell, don't you resist and wait for the aggressor to show mercy?" Kai'Sa is indignant at what happened to her.

Resistance causes more bloodshed and sacrifices, so it is wrong to resist. Is it right not to resist and give up your homeland and live on the same land with the enemy? It's confusing.

"I don't blame them, Ionia is special, we have long resolved disputes peacefully." Irelia dragged Kai'Sa out of the cemetery, where saying such things would disturb the rest of the soul.

"They are immersed in old dreams, and you are the first to wake up." Karn commented on the matter from the perspective of a bystander, but it would have had different results depending on the angle.

"Maybe. Sometimes I wonder if I'm killing peace with my own hands. ”

"Peace is not something you strangle, it's a war that the Noxians have started on their own initiative. Don't try to reconcile peacefully with Noxus, a country that will collapse and collapse without going to war. ”

Kaisha's kindness completely relaxes Irelia, and she stops in front of an unremarkable tent and says to Kaisha, "Can you tell me?" I know very little about our enemies. ”

"The land of Noxus is barren and not as rich as Ionia. And they have so many mouths to eat, that they cannot be self-sufficient, so they can only rely on war to plunder resources and consume population, otherwise famine will destroy the empire. ”

Kai'Sa also has only a vague impression of Noxus, she has only been to the Noxus colony.

"As scary as it sounds, those leaders treat human lives as numbers."

"This is just your subjective impression, why the Noxian soldiers are absolutely loyal to the Empire, which shows that the Empire also has something to follow."

"Is it a determination to make the country a better place?"

"You don't need to know, you just need to know that even if you didn't stand up at the time, there would be another Irelia who would step up and lead the revolt."

Karn's words left Irelia in deep thought, and her past experiences had turned her into a thoughtful person.

Because she is already a public figure, her every move will have far-reaching consequences, and she must plan before acting, think twice, and try not to bring more negative impacts. TVmobile/

Kai'Sa saw Irelia stop in front of the tent for a while, then pointed to the tent and asked her, "You're not going to live here, are you?" ”

By the time Irelia nodded in confirmation, she didn't know what to say.

"Be careful, don't get snuck in by Noxus spies."

"I can protect myself." Irelia carried the weapon behind her back into the tent and put it down, and said to the two outside, "Do you want to come in and sit down?" ”

The two of them went in and sat on the reed mats, drinking a few cups of tea that Irelia had made herself, and there was some movement outside the house, which attracted Irelia out.

She went outside to ask a few questions, and then when she came back, she picked up the cloth bag with the weapon on her back and said with a serious expression: "There are some refugees from the east side of the camp, I have to ask what the situation is." ”

"Did the Noxians do it?" Kai'Sa asked.

"I'm afraid so."

"Let's go along." Kai'Sa said to Karn.

The trio left their tents and headed east, where they saw a group of embarrassed Ionians at the edge of the camp.

There were both old and weak, women and children, and they didn't have much on them, and they looked tired, as if they had been driven out of the village.

They were surrounded by people from the camp and had close conversations, and the people here were already understanding the situation and trying to help them.

"Who among you is the village chief?" Irelia stepped forward to ask.

An old man with long braids walked up to Irelia with the help of another man, nodding in acknowledgment.

"Lao Yu is the village chief of Keyun Village."

A weak voice came from the old man's mouth, and Irelia noticed that his old face was mottled with tears, and there must have been a sad experience that could not be let go.

"Old village chief, what's wrong with you?"

"The Vastayas destroyed our temple and upset the balance, the village was flooded with trees, we fled in a hurry, and some remained in the woods forever."
