Chapter 48: Prelude to War
The legion of Noxus began a new round of redeployment.
And then the soldiers showed extraordinary enthusiasm - they seemed to be desperately hungry for war,
Darius was right in his judgment that Noxus needed war.
War can bring feats, bring new lands, bring endless wealth, and Noxus without war is a real salted fish.
This is clearly not good news for Zaun - as it means that the strongest Noxian legion is likely to enter the battle.
From an overall point of view, Noxus has an absolute advantage over Zaun's words.
And from the perspective of the local battlefield, the guys equipped with alchemy transformation prosthetics under the alchemy baron will be the only trump card of the alchemy barons.
However, if the ace troops of Noxus were to directly participate in the battle, the only advantage of the Alchemy Baron might also be lost......
Ironclad, Blade Regiment, Axeman......
The names of these Noxian aces aren't cool at all, but they're so powerful that everyone looks for them.
And this time in the battle of Zu'an, it should be the Night Raven Mage Regiment that should be dispatched.
Rhodes would have liked Darius to take the Axe Bearer into battle, but as the banner of the new Noxians, the Noxians would really not be able to leave - and given LeBlan's disappearance, the Noxians would definitely send a mage.
And maybe it's the famous Svein.
Thinking of Svein, Rod smiled with interest.
"Looks like a lot of mages like to be crows—that's kind of a bad taste, isn't it?"
……………………
Noxus Marina.
Sea Breeze Hunting, a group of mages wrapped in robes and boarded the ship along the long planks.
No one spoke, everyone spontaneously remained silent.
Svein stood silently at the end of the line, and on his shoulder, the crow was quietly grooming its feathers.
For Svein, this attack on Zaun was a godsend.
LeBlanc disappeared inexplicably, and the black roses were leaderless.
This group of Night Raven mages is Svein's elite and henchmen, if Svein can lead the Night Raven mage group to rescue LeBlan, then in the future, in the face of negotiations with Black Rose, Svein will have the absolute upper hand.
While the crow was grooming his feathers, Svein was also sorting out his own plans—from fighting to control, and even the bottom line of the future retreat.
The whole program was seamless.
Now Svein's only question is what happened to LeBlanc.
This incident really bothered Svein for a long time, and he couldn't figure out why LeBlanc disappeared together.
Or did LeBlanc find some clues and go to find Delevingne first?
But in that case, LeBlanc should leave some marks and clues!
Could it be that she stayed, but those leather guys didn't understand?
It's a bit of a possibility - if you think about it that way, maybe you'll need to find a chance to visit Piltover......
"Quack!"
While Svein was still thinking, the crow on his shoulder suddenly crowed loudly.
Svein looked up and saw that all the other mages had boarded the ship.
Shaking his head, Svein stopped thinking about it and limped onto the deck on crutches.
Interestingly, this boat was the same one that carried Draven last time.
The captain didn't know what kind of big man this Svein was, but in his opinion, this one was much better than the mentally retarded group last time.
Worthy of the mage of Noxus - how nice it is to be quiet, and it looks very stylish!
Just as the captain let out a sigh and took his pipe, there was a sudden "quack", and a lump of poop from a crow fell from the sky.
The guano fell impartially into the captain's pipe, and the hapless captain took a big puff.
"Hmm-vomit!!"
This smell is rushing!
Looking at the bird owner who was on crutches and wandering in front of the railing, the captain burst into tears.
"If I take over the military's mission in the future, I'm a dog!"
……………………
The Noxians did not hide their whereabouts.
The news of the entire Night Raven Mage Regiment's dispatch soon reached Zu'an.
The alchemy barons, who were already in a united tendency, quickly stepped forward and said that they would "fight for Zaan", and then began to distribute weapons to civilians on a small scale.
Many Zaun people chose to sit on the sidelines, but there were also enthusiastic participants.
In this way, under the tremendous pressure of the outside world, Zuan formed a strange team.
On the other hand, although Piltover gave a stern warning to Noxus, the diplomatic note was torn to shreds by Svein before it could be delivered to Noxus.
"Tell those Pichengkees that when Noxus wants Zuan, Piltover's only option is to go back to his Hex enchantment and shiver, instead of jumping up and blatant death!"
Noxus doesn't mind reasoning with you – but whether or not you want to do it depends on who you are and Noxus's mood.
And due to the disappearance of the Night Hunter, it is rare that Demacia did not make any substantive moves at the first time this time, and it was only a verbal warning that Noxus, who was bent on becoming stronger and never shameless, was obviously not painful.
And just like that, the ships carrying the Night Raven Mages made their way south to Piltover.
By the time the ship reached its destination, Piltover had already blocked the canal's docks.
The successive provocations and slaps in the face made Piltover's bigwigs can't help but be a little angry, and the brazen dispatch of troops made them furious!
Although they say that their goal is not Piltover, Zaun can't!
Shame on the face!
In their opinion, Zaun is Piltover's backyard!
The Tamara affair has some trades, and they don't mind, because the Hex Enchantment protects Piltover, and even with a map it wouldn't be that useful - but Zaun is different!
This is the biggest piece of cake in the whole of Piltover!
Zaun is where Piltover's fundamental interests lie, and Zuan cannot be exploited, so what does Piltover rely on to maintain his current prosperity?!
This cake will never allow greedy Noxians to interfere!
Never!
In order to stop Noxus, Piltover even announced a mobilization order, and all the scientific giants, including Jace, came to the docks to wait.
But on the deck, Svein looked at Piltover, who looked heavily guarded, and smiled cruelly.
"Strong on the outside and dry in the middle - not worth mentioning!"
————————
Demacia was not unresponsive, but news of the Illuminati could not be put on the table - after all, a large part of Demacia's perennial population increase was due to the spontaneous participation of a large number of outcasts who hated or were harmed by magic.
Although Wayne's disappearance interfered with the judgment to a certain extent, Demacia still saw Noxus's calculations, but he couldn't directly interfere in the open, after all, Noxus had an excuse this time, and he was shameless, and Demacia couldn't do this.
Finally, guess what method Svein plans to use to divide Zaan and Piltover?
