Chapter 1412 Report
The first day of the meeting ended with Taliyah and Azir spraying each other.
For a whole day, except for these two, the other leaders at the meeting barely spoke, only Rhodes made the first opening speech, and by the way, he vouched for Noxus, and in addition, it was basically caused by the "future ownership of the Acacia region" as a starting point, and the mutual spray between Shurima and the Pan-Shurima Alliance.
Azir insisted on being unwavering since ancient times, and Taliyah emphasized that the right to freedom belongs to all beings, and the two men fought a war of words for a day.
For various reasons, most of the others chose to watch from the wall and eat melons silently.
The next day, when the two of them were planning to do another 300 rounds, Rod spoke decisively and put the issue on hold for the time being.
Anyway, the battle hasn't started yet, and it's always wrong to spray each other now because of the spoils - more importantly, the starting point of this matter is not the Void War in the first place, and it's already interesting enough for you to spray for a day, I, a serious Zuan, haven't spoken yet, you have to know how to stop in moderation!
Seeing that Rhodes came forward to make a statement, this issue was put aside, although the problem was not solved, and it would cost a lot of saliva in the future, but at least for now, everyone ignored it for the time being and returned to the topic.
On the main topic of Void Warfare.
The first to speak was Ash, who had barely spoken for a day yesterday, and was the first to stand up and speak out after talking about the battle with the Void, and her speech was very short, and she was very hard to word, but in the final analysis, it was actually just one sentence.
"We're here to hammer the Void, and the Freljord Warband belongs to Commander Rhodes."
Ash's speech was similar to what everyone expected, for this kind of reliable teammate who was bent on hammering the void, everyone gave their applause without hesitation with the attitude of facing the thighs, so that Ash was even a little dazed after ending his short speech.
Am I that good?
Why are you clapping so excitedly?
After Ash finished speaking, it was Irelia who spoke next.
And after the leader of Ionia spoke, the first sentence alone made everyone, including Rod, frown.
"In this military operation." Irelia's tone was rare without the confidence of the Ionian Blade, "Ionia can't guarantee the support of the army. ”
It's not the same as saying yes!
You know, in the previous communication between Rhodes and Karma, the Apocalypse has always been the one who actively faces the problem of the Void, she is very aware of the danger of the Void, and there is no reason to retreat when the real war starts!
What's going on?
Seeing that Rod's face was not very good, Irelia subconsciously sped up her speech and finished the next words.
"But in return, Ionia will provide the army with magical weapons, armor, props, supplies, and support civil society to participate in the war as volunteers."
The government does not come forward, but encourages civil action?
This choice of the Ionians seems to imply, is it that their control over the grassroots has become weaker?
"I'm so sorry." Irelia bowed her head deeply, "The First Born Lands should not refuse to fight for the Land of Runeera, but giving up the fixed standing army is an oath of the Spirit Willow, and we cannot break it...... We are willing to offer everything we can, except for the army, for Ionia, without a standing army, could not have sent an untrained peasant into battle to face the void, not a supreme glory, but a terrible murder. ”
"But I remember you didn't say that in Presidium." Just when the atmosphere eased a little, Svein spoke without warning, "At that time, you said that when the homeland is invaded and the land is destroyed, even the farmer should put down his hoe, take up the sickle, and fight for the newborn land...... I still remember that stirring speech, but now, when the entire Runeterras was facing the threat of the Void, Ionia said that sending troops was murder. ”
There was silence in the room—just as Irelia was about to speak, Svein suddenly sped up her words.
"Could it be that in Lady Irelia's mind, the First Lands aren't actually part of the Runeterra?"
"I, the 'mad and greedy warmonger' in your mouth, know that at this time, I have taken out my strength, brought the most elite Trifali Legion in the Empire, and unearthed the intelligence records of the Immortal Fortress's old papers, but the Ionian Soul Dancer said that he would not take the initiative to send troops?"
Irelia's face was horribly dark.
In the past, most countries were justified in the face of Noxus, after all, this country had little credibility, and invaded everywhere and fanned the flames - no matter who stood opposite Noxus, they automatically had the moral high ground.
Although in the international political situation, this commanding heights is just a momentum, but no matter what, spraying people is very cool.
But now, when it comes to the Void, Noxus is straight-backed—others don't know the plot of Svein's Star Sea, at least for now, the Noxuan attitude towards the Void is blameless.
Therefore, Svein can stand on the moral high ground without any scruples and taunt Irelia unscrupulously.
And Irelia ...... There is no way to argue with that.
Yes, Irelia knew that the Void War was a war for everyone in the Runeterras, and Ionia was not qualified to stay out of it, but now Ionia really couldn't afford to organize official action - the Ionians had recovered from the war, but the Presidian government represented by Irelia was so poor that it was about to sell its pants.
Noxus can be mobilized, Demacia can be mobilized, Shurima can be mobilized, Freljord can be mobilized, but Ionia can't be mobilized!
That's what Irelia and Karma had been struggling with before.
Irelia was going to send troops, but Karma was against it—yes, Karma was against it.
Even before yesterday, neither of them had come to a reliable conclusion, and just after Azir and Taliyah had exchanged sprays yesterday, Karma suddenly came up with the current plan with great firmness.
Irelia disagreed, and Karma simply said "trust me" - out of trust in the Apocalypse, the Ionian lineage, Irelia agreed.
And now, Irelia did as Karma said, only to be sarcastically held up by Svein.
Then, just as Irelia was at a loss, a loud voice suddenly rang out outside the conference room.
"Ionian Volunteers, report to League of Legends!"
