Chapter 574: Noai World War II?
After observing that Sinjid's madness was not a joke, Jeno stopped focusing on him and left him to fend for himself.
He is not young and has been tortured by excessive blood loss and crystal poison for so many years, I am afraid that there will not be long left.
And Niko's hometown was destroyed by Takeda, Jeno never expected, although the ending was a little cruel, but this matter is finally over, only the mystery of Ahri's life is still unsettled.
In this way, Jeno inquired in the hunter's tavern at the bottom of the mountain for a few more days, but there was still no news about the Imero stone, and no one knew the man with the eyebrows like butterfly wings, and even Ahri himself was about to lose hope, and devoted himself to how to teach Niko to master the original magic.
I thought that the quiet years would last like this, but on a quiet afternoon, a piece of panicked news spread through the small mountain village.
Noxus has once again waged war against Ionia!
"Is this true?" Jeno, who heard the news from the words at the wine table, rushed to the talker excitedly, grabbed his collar and asked sharply.
"I... I'm not sure either, I've just heard that someone saw a Noxus warship on the coastline......" The man who was pulled by the collar was startled by Jeno's sudden move, and replied hesitantly.
The few tables of guests in the tavern were all watched, including the tavern owner who was carrying the barrels.
"Hey, Jeno, you're scaring my guest." The tavernkeeper put down the barrel full of ale, grabbed his glass and touched the bar to make a sound, trying to alert Jeno.
Since Jeno has been inquiring about news in the tavern for the past few days, and he has made generous moves, the enthusiastic boss went up to talk to him for a few words, and he became familiar with it after coming and going.
And this guest from a foreign country is well-informed and always brings interesting stories.
"Damn, no...... I mean, I'm sorry, but this is an atonement. ”
Realizing that his actions might be a little unrestrained, Jeno realizes that he may have been acting a little unrestrained, and immediately lets go of the man and slumps him back into his seat, throwing a silver coin in his glass before turning and leaving.
"Where are you going? You're my guest, too. The tavernkeeper saw Jeno turn and leave, trying to keep the patron.
"I'm going to make sure what this person said is true, so that's all for today." Jeno, who was in a heavy mood, did not leave the boss with any affection, and slammed the door and left the tavern.
Walking down the small street with the smell of corn, Jeno kept his head down in contemplation.
Noxus attacking Ionia, is this possible?
It's possible. In addition to the first invasion of Ionia by Noxus during the Darkwell period thirteen years ago, Jeno knew that there would be another major war of aggression in the future.
But listening to the sudden rumors, he suddenly realized that the so-called future is already close to tomorrow?
Now that the Grand Commander of Noxus has been replaced by Jericho Svein, if he had pushed the Empire to this war, the pressure of Ionia's invasion would have only intensified than it had been thirteen years earlier.
Because Svein was far more far-sighted and resourceful than Darkwell, he would not have rushed into war without the confidence of victory.
This was also the first thing that came to Jeno's mind, the complete fall of Ionia.
He glanced up at the serene sky, the frontier village had not yet fallen in the panic that preceded the war.
It is said that rumors are spread with one mouth, and rumors are refuted and broken legs.
The province of Garin, where Jeno is located, is the outlying corner of Ionia and the farthest frontier from Noxus. If Genor wants to find out if Noxus is really doing any military action, he will have to travel across Ionia to the west coast to observe, and whether the rumors are true or not, a lot of time will be wasted along the way.
Moreover, according to the most primitive method of transmission of information by word of mouth in Ionia, the time is calculated from the extremely limited speed of transmission, and perhaps the two armies were already fighting in Navoli when Jeno heard the news.
How can this keep him from being in a hurry?
But fortunately, the devil is such a reliable helper.
Jeno walked to a rocky beach and summoned his most powerful assistant, Tam, in the shadow of the setting sun.
"Tell me, has Noxus really started another war against Ionia?"
"Gotta give me a moment to confirm." After Tamu finished speaking, he took advantage of the tide and plunged into the sea.
Half an hour later, the demon in the top hat came out of the sea and respectfully told Jeno what he had seen.
"I'm sure it's true, hundreds of warships docked on the west coast of Ionia, each loaded with soldiers ready to go, and a large number of warships approaching Presidon from the south shore, like sharp claws clutching the fragile heart, it seems that Svein has learned his lesson......"
Jeno waved his hand heavily, interrupting Tam's chatter.
He replayed the scene of Irelia guarding the last holy place outside the city of Precidian.
The Second War has begun, and the Imperial Army under Svein's leadership is bound to win, while Ionia is suffering from an unprecedented crisis.
He knew that this time only by gathering their own heroes and twisting them together would Ionia be able to defend against this menacing invasion.
As if he had seen through Jeno's thoughts, Tam opened his mouth and proposed, "I'm ready, I'll send you the name of the place." ”
"Go back to the village and tell Sindra about it, and I'll have to finish arranging before I can leave Garin for Presidium."
……
Sindra wasn't shocked when she heard the news of Noxus starting war from Jeno, perhaps she didn't realize the gravity of the matter, or maybe she didn't care about the land that had given birth to her.
But when Jeno asks where she stands, Sindra says she'll be on Jeno's side.
"Now that I've put aside my prejudices about this land, it's okay to do a little favor." Without the Burning Crown to hold down her flowing hair, Sindra began to try to use her telekinesis to comb it into a neat braid.
Sindra clearly sees winning a battle as a gesture, but in her abilities, it's not an exaggeration.
But Jeno knew in his heart that it was not difficult to win a battle led by transcendentals, but it was too unrealistic to rely on the victory of a local battle to change the course of the war.
The overall military strength of Ionia and Noxus is too far apart.
