Ionia, capital, Presti. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The hall of the Supreme Council of Ionia was attended by nobles, government officials, military officials, representatives of monks, and representatives of various ancient cultivation factions. The atmosphere of the meeting was very heavy, and everyone who attended the meeting also had a layer of gloom on their faces. The capital, Presti, has been besieged by invaders for nearly four months, and hundreds of thousands of Ionian warriors and resistance soldiers are forever buried at the foot of this great wall. Their sacrifice only gave the capital a little respite, but it still couldn't change the continuous deterioration of the overall war situation.

The Hall of the Supreme Council of Ionia is a circular structure, with an oval table in the center, with a total of twelve crimson high-backed chairs inlaid with precious jewels and a golden-yellow high-backed chair, which is also the seat of the 12 ruling members of the Supreme Council and the seat of the Speaker of the Supreme Council, Bouville. The outer three rings of stepped circular seats are seats for 78 members of the House of Lords, and the last five circles of stepped circular seats are seats for 212 members of the House of Commons. Since the siege of the capital Presti, the entire Ionian councillors have been blocked in the city, and no one has been evacuated to their fiefdoms.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the specific situation has just been analyzed by the intelligence officer, our food and grass reserves are only enough for 40 to 50 days, the proportion of combat losses among the combatants has reached 60%, and the west gate was almost lost yesterday. Speaker Bouvier, dressed in pure white holy robes, said softly, his deep voice full of haggard and exhaustion.

A representative of the nobility of the House of Lords, who was sitting in the third circle of seats, stood up, looked around, and said loudly, "The situation is now very clear, we can no longer support it, in order to avoid the massacre after the destruction of the city, I propose that we should send a representative to negotiate peace with Noxus as soon as possible." ”

This is not the first time that this topic has been raised, and the deputy's speech provoked whispers throughout the halls of the Supreme Council. Many parliamentarians are nodding slightly, which also makes the aristocratic representative who just sat down a little proud, remembering that when Presti was just besieged, the first councillor to put forward the idea of peace directly caused a commotion and riot, more than 90% of the councillors strongly condemned and criticized the councilor, and even his status as a senator was almost stripped away. At that time, everyone was still looking forward to Demacia's reinforcements and Lord Soraka going to the War College to apply for reinforcements, but four months passed, Demacia's reinforcements were suppressed in the outer area of Ionia, and they couldn't enter the Presti area at all, and Soraka went to the War College in vain, and people have gradually fallen into despair, maybe the people at the bottom still have the confidence to resist the invaders, but for the high-level and nobles, the life is the most important thing, therefore, At this time, the wind direction of the Ionian Supreme Council had completely changed.

"What peace?? To put it bluntly, don't you just want to surrender? We in the Ionian Federation have killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and if we want our military to surrender to the Noxian executioners, it is impossible, even if we fight to the death, our military will never surrender!! ”

Seeing that the entire council hall was already talking, and many people were inclined to surrender, a burly man dressed in the costume of Admiral Ionia in the middle of the 12 ruling seats slapped the table angrily and shouted loudly.

Another white-faced and beardless middle-aged man who was also sitting in the seats of the 12 ruling councilors said coldly at this time: "Fight to the death, to the last person?? Your Excellency General Ryan, how many men are left in your capital's army? What are you going to do to fight to the last man, and heap it with the lives of millions of civilians in the city? ”

General Ryan looked at the middle-aged man angrily and shouted again, "Two months ago, the only son of Master Rito, Lieutenant General Zeloth, sent a message that he was about to unite and lead the 50,000 elite escorts of Ionia to the capital, we just need to wait for help, wait until they arrive, and then flank the enemy forces outside the city inside and outside, and we will be able to successfully break the siege!" ”

"Huh~~ two months ago?? Excuse me, now that we have been under siege for a few months, what about the reinforcements?? Don't be whimsical, we're fish on the board now, ready to be slaughtered. Another man, also a member of the 12 Ruling Councillors, sneered and retorted to Ryan.

"You ......"

"Silence!!" After the Supreme Speaker Bouvier rubbed his forehead and shouted, everyone stopped arguing for the time being,

"Now that the time has come for Ionia's survival, I propose that a vote be held in the Supreme Council, which can be regarded as for the safety of the people of the capital." With the final announcement of Speaker Bouvier, the issue was officially voted on.

A few hours later, the final result of the vote had been counted, and the number of votes for surrender had reached 214, more than half of the members of the Supreme Council, and when the Supreme Speaker confirmed the validity of the result and said that he was about to announce the result to the whole Presti, Lord Soraka, the "son of the stars" who had not spoken a word in the whole meeting, sighed and stood up.

"Your Excellency! Wait! ”

"Lord Soraka, please speak!"

Although she was only one of the 12 members of the Executive Committee and rarely attended, Speaker Bouvier was sure that if Soraka wanted to do something, her words would even exceed the resolutions of the Speaker and the entire Parliament.

Looking at the aristocratic councillors in the entire council hall who were staring nervously at him, for fear that he would prevent the final result, and then at the representatives of the military, cultivators, and monks who were looking at him expectantly, with tears in their eyes, Soraka sighed again.

"I will not oppose and block federal resolutions under reasonable process!" Soraka's words relieved the nervous noble councillors.

"However, I hope that the results will be released in two days, is that okay?"

Soraka's words caused some military representatives, who were still full of hope, to collapse their emotions directly, and several fragile military representatives had even begun to bow their heads silently, swallowing the bitter tears flowing all over their faces.

Soraka's proposal was quickly adopted. After the meeting ended, Soraka did not communicate with anyone, and went straight back to his hall of stars. In a short time, a maid came in and asked her that someone outside the temple had asked to see her. There were representatives of the Civil Resistance Army, the military, and the monks, and even one of Soraka's friends, Master Rito's daughter, Irelia, who was among the petitioners, and Soraka thought for a moment before responding lightly, "No!" ”。

"Why?? Why would Master Soraka agree to the surrender of those soft-bastard nobles? Impossible, I don't believe it, I have to meet her!! Outside the Hall of Stars, a heroic girl in orange armor shouted loudly to the guard.

"Miss Irelia, Lord Soraka should have her own troubles, but she said that if she doesn't see the guest, she will definitely not be there, so please go back with you."

After arguing a few more times, when Irelia realized that Soraka really didn't want to see her, her shoulders trembled with anger, and finally her right hand pointed at the Hall of Stars and roared loudly, "Soraka!!" Listen!! It's in vain that I've admired you so much since I was a child!! See you as the savior and strongest guardian of Ionia! I won't trust you anymore, and when my father comes back, I'll tell him how fragile the idols he taught me to learn from as a child!! Surrender to the invaders!! You remember, those of us who are here today will not kneel down to surrender to the invaders, even if they fight to the death!! ”

Soraka sat quietly on the highest altar of the Hall of Stars, and the sound of Irelia's roar came clearly into her ears, which also made the supreme spiritual leader of Ionia close her eyes tightly, and a crystal clear tear crossed Soraka's face, falling to the ground and splashing a shattered ice flower.

After nightfall, the starlight sprinkled the earth, Soraka stared at the stars in the sky quietly, and after a while, as if she had made up her mind, she inserted the scepter in her hand into the hole in the center of the altar, put her hands together and began to pray, the strong rune power fluctuations converged on the central altar area of the Hall of Stars, and the starlight slowly converged as if it was attracted, constantly changing, flickering, and concentrating on the scepter in the center of the altar, when the light accumulated to the strongest moment, Soraka's eyes opened, A cloud of essence swept over the crescent crystal in the center of the scepter, and Soraka held the scepter full of starlight power tightly with both hands, and the powerful psychic power instantly centered on this point, drawing ripple-like circles like a shock wave, spreading far away, covering the entire Presti and even more distant areas in the blink of an eye......

"O all the mighty men of Ionia, I am the son of the stars, Soraka, wherever you are at this time, listen to me, the iron hooves of the invaders have trampled on every peaceful area of Ionia, tens of thousands of civilians and warriors have died in this land they love, we yearn for peace, and pray for peace, but our vision will not receive mercy from the invaders, they will only take our desire for peace as a moan of weakness, and will intensify their plundering of our resources and encroaching on our land, The slaughter of our parents and brothers, the humiliation of our sisters and children, now that the capital of Ionia, Presti, is in a desperate situation, and just today the Supreme Council has approved the surrender bill, and the news will spread throughout Presti and Ionia the day after tomorrow at the latest. I'm sad, but I can't stop it, I can't ignore the millions of people in Presti for the sake of their own wishes. However, I don't want to just give in, so I have 48 hours, all the strong people of Ionia who live in seclusion, please come out quickly, even for the glorious name of Ionia to shine on the entire Valoran continent for the last time, so that even if the invaders succumb to our flesh, they will not be able to destroy our spirits!! Regardless of the outcome in two days, I will pay tribute to the great Pres with my life!! ”

This burst of spiritual appeals stirred and spread to every corner of the entire Ionia, and all the strong people who had reached the heroic realm instantly sensed this fluctuation and listened to the voice of Soraka's heart. Borrowing the starlight conduction, Soraka collapsed on the altar after releasing the heart transmission, what should be done, I have done it, as for whether it can change the ending, it depends on the arrangement of fate, Soraka looked at the starlight in the sky, tears flashed in his eyes.

In the Noxus camp, several heroes who tilted their heads to feel the fluctuations of their hearts made a "hum" sound from their noses neatly. Urgatte waved his large, pincer-like hand and said, "Fragile cry! Cassiopeia, the snake girl on the side, also stuck out her forked tongue and chuckled "Last words before death", and her sister Caterina did not say a word.

In a remote mountain courtyard in Ionia, a group of powerful swordsmen were suddenly summoned by their master, "Children, Ionia needs your strength, let our Wind Sword open a smooth road for Ionia." ”

In a ruined temple destroyed by the war, a figure slowly appeared in the black mire, he was holding a blood-colored bow and arrows, and his body was full of dark aura, and the black aura on his body seemed to be constantly depriving him of his reason, and he frowned slightly in pain, but he whispered fiercely, "Noxian bastards!" Wait! I'm coming! ”

Ionia's remote sea prison, this is Ionia's most heavily guarded high-level prison, all of them are incarcerated by a fierce and important prisoner, in the deepest iron door, a thin figure whose limbs and neck are chained by thick iron chains, firmly fixed to the wall, let out a sneer, and then the laughter grew louder and louder, until it alarmed the guard, and when the guard roared to silence him, the man said to the guard, "Go and call your highest commander, I want to see him!" ”

In the largest waterfall in Ionia, the Great Falls of Isu, two figures suddenly flew out, one of them was covered with red cloth and the man with long braids said to the wild man with messy hair and coarse cloth clothes next to him, "Udil, the cultivation is over for the time being, I'm going to Presti!" What about you? What's the plan? ”

The wild man laughed, "Master Li Qing, where you go, I'll go!" The two looked at each other and smiled, and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

A small harbor in the north of Ionia, the port of Yaning, where two warships are docked, and a bear-man unit of several hundred people in the harbor is cleaning up the battlefield, and this small port has a Noxus garrison of several dozen people, which has just been wiped out.

In the house next to the port, Chen Yin was talking with the bear warrior Sabo about the battle just now, when the aura of his soul spread here. Chen Yin changed color in an instant, and with a hula, he pushed away the chair and stood up, Sabo also reached the level of an ordinary hero, and he also heard the call of Soraka just now, but he was still a little surprised by Chen Yin's violent reaction, and hurriedly asked the reason.

"Master Soraka, that's my savior and my most respected senior!! It can be said that without her, there would be no me now, I must not let her have an accident, I have to save her!! Chen Yin said with a firm gaze.

"Brother's benefactor, that's also my benefactor, I'll organize the troops immediately, let's go and save people together!" Sabo also stood up, patting his chest and yelling.

Similar situations to the above appeared in every corner of Ionia at the same time, and many of the strong people in the hidden world were staring at the core of Ionia, the direction of Presti, the real top battlefield, and it was about to erupt. (To be continued.) )
