Chapter 534: Philo Island
"We're in Ionia." Tam's voice echoed through the confined space, and then the darkness cracked a crack, allowing the dim light to enter.
Emerging from the darkness, Jeno removed a damp-proof crystal armor and looked around.
There is no moon tonight, but the sound of the waves is heard.
Jeno guesses that Tamm has taken him to an island.
"Which area is this?" Jeno couldn't find any landmarks to refer to around, so it was more convenient to ask Tamu.
"Filo Island, to be exact, is in a very close place to Filor." Tam replied.
"I see." Jeno nodded and let it go.
Although there are many inconveniences in this place, it is barely acceptable.
As for why this place is not so convenient? Because there are a large number of Noxian defenders here.
Twelve years ago, when Noxus invaded Ionia, it was not ...... Counting the more than a year that Jeno traveled over, it should have been thirteen years, and that war can be called World War I.
After the end of World War I thirteen years ago, Ionia repelled the invaders, but there were still areas along the Southwestern Sea that fell and became the territory of Noxus, which has not been recaptured to this day.
The area of the Fall was divided into three large areas, the largest of which was an island known as Philo Island.
And Filol is a military fortress and the center of Filo Island.
It was easy to defend and difficult to attack, having stood here for hundreds of years, withstanding countless enemy attacks before finally being crushed by a long siege during the Noxian invasion.
The general stationed here is named Karan, a Vastaya whose lineage dates back to ancient times.
He belonged to Ionia, but he surrendered to the enemy for a prophecy of the prophet Soraka and claimed the position of ruler of Filol from the Empire as a reward for his exploits in the war of aggression.
The content of the prophecy is: If you become a hero, you will lose two children, and if you become a traitor, your wife and children will be safe, but you will never see each other again.
So he chose the latter, which is why he became a general in this place, following the will of the prophet to protect the Dream Pool in Filore, so that the sleeping powerhouses in it would not be disturbed, so that she would never wake up.
And this strong man is Sindra, who single-handedly alarmed the soul of Ionia decades ago, although in the end he was sealed in the dream pool by the latter, suppressing his power and falling into a dream for eternity.
So there is a plausible explanation why Ionia, who had been at peace until then, would build a military fortress - all in order to completely isolate Sindra from the rest of the world.
But Jeno was still unsure, he didn't know if Sindra had woken up after breaking the seal.
If not, then these messages are not outdated.
If there is a breakthrough, then the situation in Filol will be in great turmoil.
But there was not a single figure in the surrounding wilderness, and no one could be found to ask.
In short, let's go to Filor to confirm the situation first.
Within a few hours, Jeno was on the outskirts of the fortress of Filor.
The night was dark and windy, and the undercurrent was surging, and he always felt that something bad was going to happen here tonight.
Thirty-three warships were docked here, and there were less than half the number of merchant ships. The walls were lit up with torches, and more than a thousand Noxian veterans were on standby, and General Kahlan stared at a pair of tiger eyes, making his careful rounds day after day.
"It must be a hassle to be discovered."
Looking at Karan's burning eyes reflecting the light of the fire in the pitch black, Jeno twisted around and stuck to the wall, retreating into the shadows.
Since Kahlan was still defending the city, Sindra hadn't woken up yet, so all Jeno had to do was to bypass Filor, swim across the strait for several kilometers, and find a random place to go ashore in the province of Navoli.
Of course, it is possible to infiltrate a merchant ship, but if you don't do your homework beforehand, you will either go to Noxus with the ship or be blown up by the Ionian faction with magic.
So it's better to rely on yourself to compare insurance.
But an explosion that followed directly disrupted his plans.
In the harbor below, a Noxus battleship exploded, and a fireball lit up the night with a wave of heat.
All the soldiers who had been awakened by the sound of Filore's alarm bell stopped and stared blankly at the sudden sea of purgatory fire.
Subsequently, the increased vigilance made it difficult for Jeno to move an inch, but his goal was no longer to leave the island of Philo.
In the aftermath of the explosion, he smelled the breath of magic, apparently this was not a means of black powder, it was done by the Ionians!
"It can't be an explosion that detonates the Flame Stone, right?"
Sindra's awakening was related to an Ionian night raid, and it began with a magical explosion, which Jeno thought it wouldn't be so coincidental.
If he could know the name of the bombed battleship, he should be able to know if there was a major incident going on here.
There was a commotion above the wall that Jeno was clinging to, and it was the soldiers who were reporting to Kahran.
"The Crimson Huntress was blown up, leaving only the bottom of the ship and the wood still on fire. The three ships next to it were also set on fire, and although the crew was struggling to put out the fire, at least one of them could not be saved, which was definitely sabotage by the Ionians, and it should have been caused by black powder. ”
A nervous-looking officer said he needed to jog in small steps to keep up with Kahran's.
Kahlan roared, frowning at the damage on the docks, not saying a word, as if contemplating the true intentions of the attackers.
Jeno's brow furrowed deeper than Karan's when he heard the ship's name.
Yes, that's right!
The Crimson Huntress was destroyed, and the attack was a blow to the west, detonating the battleship only to divert the forces stationed at the cliff, and the real purpose of the attackers was to kill Sindra in the Dream Pool.
As long as Jeno doesn't intervene, Sindra will definitely wake up tonight no matter what!
Sindra is not a sleeping beauty waiting to be kissed by the prince, she has a huge dark magic that grows infinitely, and is regarded by Ionia as a public enemy, she also regards Ionia as an enemy, and she also has no affection for Noxus, if she is released, it will be a female demon for the disaster.
Probably, the Ionians would have thought so, for Sindra's strength had far overwhelmed the balance they followed.
But Genor didn't know what Sindra would do when she woke up, he only knew that she would use her powerful telekinesis to cause an earthquake, split mountains and rocks, and split a tower and volleyed north.
What to do in the north? He didn't know either.
So should we interfere or not?
Wake Sindra up smoothly? Or let her continue to sleep?
How to choose......
