Moving to the second class next door to Oriana, Rhodes was in a bad mood.

Before, Rod's room was in first class, spacious and bright, and a single room, but now he has been changed to second class, and he has to be with a strong man who looks like a bodyguard...... Who can be happy about this?

However, what made Rod even more depressed was that he didn't know how Oriana introduced his identity, and the strong man in the same room with him was so respectful to him that he almost served himself tea and poured water, which made Rod unaccustomed to it, and he was not angry, so he had nothing to do but go to the deck to blow the wind more.

Fortunately, Orianna cared about this special escort very much, and seemed to sense Rod's depression, and she was also consciously appeasing Rod, in which case, Rhodes simply asked about the purpose of the trip, and why Piltover would engage in such shady diplomacy.

At first, Orianna tried to be vague, but in the end, perhaps considering that Rhodes was going to follow her for a while, she still revealed some information.

Presumably, this diplomacy was not known to Ionia, it was an unconventional diplomatic action, and the purpose of this was to keep it secret......

Regarding Oriana's words, although Rod had no expression on his face, the white eyes in his heart had already turned to the sky.

And this kind of diplomacy, huh?

A surprise attack without prior notice?

"And how do you know for sure you'll be able to meet the Ionian diplomat?"

"We want to see Lady Irelia." Oriana didn't hide the people she wanted to meet on this trip, "This ship is a new starting point for Piltover Ionia's trade, and Lady Irelia has been on a lecture tour near Eri before, so when the ship arrives, we can go directly to meet the Ionian leader." ”

“……”

What and what is this?!

Is Piltover's diplomacy so casual?

Taking advantage of the other side's itinerary to engage in unilateral diplomatic activities is ...... That's too undiplomatic etiquette, isn't it?

The Supreme Council of Picheng pumped its brains?

No, it won't!

Although Rhodes doesn't look down on those big businessmen with fat brains, in terms of face, those guys generally do a good job.

And this bold unilateral diplomatic activity, no matter how you look at it, reveals a Zuan flavor, saying that it is Rod Tun Xin who was put forward by Ike!

But...... Ike has always been incompatible with the Supreme Council of Leather City, even now that the two cities are integrated, the relationship between the two sides is only maintained at the level of a slight smile on the face and a crazy MMP in his heart, if this is really the plan proposed by Ike, it is impossible for that group of guys to accept it.

But given the power displayed by Orianna in action, this decision must have come from the Supreme Council, right?

Unless...... Unless it's a special directive signed by Camille?

Camille and Ike...... What are these two guys going to do?

If Rod was still in the mood of having fun before, now he finally has a hint of seriousness.

The supreme leaders of the two cities have worked together on a very secretive and very "improvised" plan, and it seems that no one except for the executor Oriana knows the content of the plan......

Kind of interesting!

Seeing that he didn't say anything more about asking Oriana, Rhodes simply shut up - exploration is also a kind of fun, isn't it?

……………………

It didn't take long for Rhodes to understand why Oriana had invited him as a bodyguard in such a hurry.

When the ship left the sea area controlled by Bilgewater, it soon encountered an accident.

The Noxians appeared.

The Noxian navy, which had been pretending to be dead and had no sense of existence, suddenly appeared with great fanfare, surrounded the ship, and issued a flag asking for the ship to stop!

And the captain didn't know what order he had received, and after seeing the Noxians, he drove at full speed and went all the way north, as if he wanted to enter the Ionian sea before the Noxians caught up!

Most of the passengers on board were stupid for this situation.

The interception of the Noxus Navy was already a surprise, and the escape of the captain was even more unbelievable - by this time, even the dullest person realized that the situation was not good!

Even more incredible is yet to come - although the Noxians are menacing, they really haven't caught up!

After a cruise ship was at full power, its sailing speed was a big cut off the Noxian warship, and even if the encirclement network at sea was arranged, it couldn't catch it!

Although the situation was still bad, the passengers on the ship cheered after the Noxians were completely thrown away - anyway, it was always a nice thing to let the Noxians eat dust in the back, right?

However, Rod sensed something was wrong.

Although the captain later publicly stated that everything was normal, according to Rod's judgment, the ship's course now seemed to have deviated, and it was in a direction that was originally intended...... A little more easterly?

Isn't the target a lot?

Soon, Orianna explained to Rhodes - the day after getting rid of the Noxians, Orianna gathered all the entourage and asked everyone to get ready and leave the ship in a lifeboat tonight.

"And where are we going?" Rhodes looked at Orianna, who was giving orders, and finally asked, "Don't land in the castle?" ”

"It's not in the house anymore." Oriana nodded, "The Noxians have set up the siege again, and this time the ships can't guarantee breaking through the siege, so we need to get off the ship early and go to another port." ”

"But...... Ionia's open port? ”

"Most of the ports are closed to the public." Oriana nodded, "But luckily we have the best guide, Mr. Hill, who used to travel in Ionia, and he knows of a hidden harbor on the island of Baroue. ”

"Baruo?" Rhodes thought about the province rich in Sword Saints in his mind, and then frowned, "Baru'e is a bit west......"

"I'm prepared for that, too." As she spoke, Orianna instructed Rod's roommates to activate the Hexbionic device on her body, and with the help of the starting device of the repairing ship, she unloaded a huge spare engine from the ship and installed it on the lifeboat, "Voila—with it, we will even be two days faster than expected!" ”

Rhodes didn't say anything this time, he narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the giant engine on the lifeboat that took up half of the space, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

This thing is just installed, are you sure that the lifeboat will not take off and explode directly after starting, in one go?
