Chapter 137: Negotiations with Ionia
In the sky above Presidian, a huge king worm rested on it, this was the same king worm that Zeratul was riding, and his mission to come to Presidium now was very important.
After expressing his intentions, Zeratul, led by a group of soldiers, went to the Elder's Hall of Precidian,
Ionia, a kingdom of allied provinces in a vast archipelago known as the "First Lands", surrounded by treacherous seas.
The quest for balance has long been the cultural tone here, so the boundaries between the physical and spiritual realms are also absent here, especially in the wild forests and mountains.
While the magic of this land can be fickle and the creatures that inhabit it can be dangerous and magical, the inhabitants of Ionia have lived a life of abundance for the past few hundred years. The monasteries, the militia regiments of the provinces, and even the land of Ionia itself were enough to protect the inhabitants.
But that all ended many years ago, when Noxus attacked the "Land of the Newborn". Endless imperial armies wreaked havoc on Ionia, and the Ionians fought hard for years to defeat their enemies at great cost.
Ionia is now in a fragile peace, and the land's different responses to the war have divided the land - there are groups such as the Samurai and the Equilibrium Sect that want to return to the secluded peace and pastoral traditions.
Other more radical factions, such as the Navoli Brotherhood and Shadowstream, advocate militarizing the magic of the land and creating a unified state strong enough to retaliate against Noxus.
The fate of Ionia hangs in a delicate balance, and almost no one wants to turn it to either side, but everyone can feel the ground beneath their feet. {From League of Legends Universe}
At this time, as the highest authority in Ionia, the Council of Elders, their will can affect the fate of Ionia, plus there are many gods and demigods in Ionia, and those gods are trying to get rid of the war and concentrate on cultivation, so this also makes Ionia's high-end combat power unable to fight against Noxus.
It can be said that Ionia has the largest number of heroes and the largest resources, and it is the place where high-end combat power is concentrated in the Land of Runepurposes except for the Giant God Peak and the Void, but the heroes are fighting separately, and the various sects and organizations are suspicious and jealous of each other, and the resources cannot be developed, and the high-end combat power is even more war-weary.
That's how Ionia, what to take to resist the powerful Noxus, the first time Noxus hit Ionia's capital Presidian, if it weren't for Svein's coup d'Γ©tat, and later withdrew the troops from Ionia, I'm afraid Ionia would have died directly, as I said before, Ionia is a country composed of Allied provinces, if Presidian falls, I don't know how many Allied provinces will choose autonomy, and then even Noxus will not be used, Ionia will exist in name only.
And the second Noxus attack on Ionia actually started long before the second Void War, after all, after seeing the threat of the Void, Noxus also panicked and began to expand his power crazily, after all, it was a matter of whether he could survive or not, but that war ended not long after it began, because the Second Void War began.
I won't talk about the rest of the matter, after all, it's not in popular science, but the elders of Ionia don't dare to say that they can resist after seeing the strength of Noxus, although there is Irelia united and united in the Presians, but this can't withstand the onslaught of Noxus.
It can be said that some of the elders are even thinking of directly sealing Ionia with powerful magic, so that Ionia will be completely isolated from the world, and maybe they will be able to survive the future Void War.
But Irelia disagreed, she had really been on the Void Battlefield, she knew more about the Void creatures than the Elders, the Void creatures would devour all matter, not even magic, and isolating Ionia was a complete suicide.
However, the elders were dismissive of Irelia's thoughts, how could the ancient and holy Ionia recognize such a barbaric empire.
It didn't take long for Zeratul to come to the Hall of Elders under the leadership of the soldiers, and the first time he saw the Hall of Elders of Presidian, Zeratul was a little shocked, this Hall of Elders can be said to be very ancient, but it is luxurious, and the huge building itself makes people have a sense of unity between heaven and man.
Zeratul stood in the center of the main hall and looked at the high platforms on which several old figures were sitting, and because of the lack of light above, it was impossible to see their appearances.
They looked at Zeratul below and said majestically, "Offended! What did you do when you came to this holy temple? β
Zeratu actually wanted to leave when he heard this, although Zeratu had asked the soldiers to inform him of his intentions before, but he didn't mention his origin at all, and the other party came up with such contempt, who did he look down on?
But Zeratul has lived so long, traveled the universe for so long, and seen all kinds of things, and of course he will not forget his business because of such a small thing.
"Dear Administrator! I'm a swarm from the uncharted seas! This time, I'm here with friendship! β
In fact, Zeratu said this very tactfully, and he also knew that the people of Runeterrament were very wary of alien creatures, so he said that he was a population from the uncharted sea, and no matter how he said it, he was still on the same ball.
And the old men above are there to talk to each other.
"Uncharted? What is that place? β
"I've heard that there's an unexplored place at the end of the ocean."
"Oh! Isn't it a wild land! β
β¦β¦
I don't know what they were talking about after discussing for a long time, anyway, after more than ten minutes, they finally quieted down, only to hear the old men above say: "Dear stranger, we Ionia have been isolated from the world for a long time, and we don't want to be disturbed, we appreciate your kindness, but please go back, soldier, send off!" β
The elders didn't seem to have any intention of letting Zeratu stay like this, so they directly ordered the expulsion, but this time it made Zeratu a little angry, he really hadn't seen such a ruler. Immediately he shouted, "We're here to help you!" What does Ionia take to fight with Noxus! β
What Zeratul didn't expect was that a word from the elders made him completely dumb.
"How can a barbarian empire triumph over a free and beautiful country!"
Zeratul was stunned for a moment, what the hell is this...... How arrogant it is!
This time Zeratu didn't stay, turned around and turned into a cloud of black mist and left, such a ruler, there is really no need to help, Zeratu knows that Mo Chen knows a lot about this world, but Mo Chen will choose such an ally, which is also something that Zeratu can't understand.
Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is. - "", you can find this site as soon as possible.
