Choosing the Musou way, Rhodes isn't just playing with memes.

The real murderer hides in the deepest depths and never shows his face, and neither side of the mediation that Rhodes wants to mediate will be obedient, in this case, once the first hand is lost, there is no point in continuing to carry out the secret plan - if you want to stop the all-out war between Demacia and Noxus, the conspiracy is invalid, and only the yang conspiracy will do.

And the best and most effective conspiracy is deterrence.

Demonstrate his ability to deter Noxus and persecute Demacia.

Of course, because the national characteristics of Noxus and Demacia are different, the deterrence method that Rhodes intends to adopt is also different - for Noxus, Rhodes's choice is to show his strength and clamp down in many ways, so that Noxus does not dare to take the initiative.

Since it's a deterrent, let everyone know that it doesn't mean anything to Rod to sneak in to kill Vladimir.

This plan to "kill Vladimir in the open" has strong support from Vega - Vega, who has been silently waiting for an opportunity, is almost unable to wait, although the yodelers don't care much about time, but the boredom of waiting still makes Vega's state a little unstable, and he desperately needs to take out some powerful guy in order to show his "strength and evil".

As a reassurance to Vega, Rhodes happily gave him the last chance to go head-to-head with Vladimir.

According to Trist's intelligence, the cautious Vladimir had been hiding in his castle, which was guarded by his die-hard subordinates.

"Vladimir gave part of his power to those people." Trist unfolded the map in his stronghold, "The surrounding area of nearly a kilometer, all of them are Vladimir's men, one of these people counts as one, all of them smell fishy. ”

"Fishy?" Rod was a little surprised, "The smell of blood? ”

"That's right." Trist nodded, "Blood seems to have something to do with the origin of Vladimir's power, and he even rewarded him with a portion of his own blood as a reward for his loyal lackeys - I must remind you once again to be careful with blood, even your own." ”

"It's kind of interesting." Rod nodded, "Apart from these subordinates, does Vladimir have any other defensive measures?" ”

"Yes." Trist stretched out his hand and pointed to the Immortal Fortress, "The last time in the Immortal Fortress, Vladimir was almost killed by Svein, this time he returned to the political arena, and part of the price of continuing to maintain the Noxian order was to ask for a certain amount of military command of the Immortal Fortress. ”

"That is." Rhodes looked at Trist, "Among the guards of the Immortal Fortress, there are some people from Vladimir. ”

"This is what he asked to prevent another betrayal." Speaking of this, Trist showed a headache expression, "This is also one of the reasons why I have not dared to take action, the people who guard the immortal fortress are the real elite of Noxus - I know that you have fought against the Trifali Legion of Noxus, I can say unceremoniously, the Trifali Legion is so famous, but in front of this garrison is the scum." ”

"The Guardians of the Immortal Citadel are the most elite troops of Noxus?" Rhodes looked at the symbol representing the Immortal Fortress on the map with interest, "This is not logical, it is not normal to use the most elite troops as the capital guard. ”

"That's another reason why I don't dare to do it." Trist shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, "The Immortal Fortress contains almost all of Noxus's savings over the years - not gold and silver treasures, but magical items, which I heard were originally intended to be presented to Vladimir by the former head of state, Darkwell, but were intercepted by Svein at the last moment, and even Svein's special hand was caused by one of these magical items. ”

"Oh-" Rhodes dragged out the syllable, "Imperial treasures." ”

"That's pretty much what you can say." Although Rod's statement is rather strange, Trist still affirms his statement, "To be honest, I don't think Svein's aesthetic is any different from Planck's, they both like to pile up good things and send their strongest guards to defend them......"

"No, you're wrong about that." Rhodes gave Trist a meaningful smile, "The treasure on both sides isn't on the same level in itself, and neither are the guards - you can turn Bilgewater upside down, but in the Immortal Fortress, you don't even have the intention of making a move." ”

“…… That's just as well. Trist opened his mouth a little embarrassed, the Flame Tide was not a wonderful memory for him (other than the fact that he was reconciled with Graves), "That's probably the case, if you really want to kill Vladimir before everyone knows about it, you have to face at least three enemies - Vladimir's men, the elite Immortal Fortress Guards, and the magical items in the Immortal Fortress." ”

"Very good summary." After listening to Trist's introduction, Rod clapped his hands decisively and expressed his approval, "But you forgot about some other enemies, such as LeBlan, such as Svein. ”

"They don't have to be enemies." Trist subconsciously retorted, "LeBlanc very much wants Vladimir to die-"

"But what she wants is not for Vladimir to die in front of everyone." Rhodes corrected his statement as soon as possible, "LeBlanc needs Vladimir to die quietly in a corner and not cause her any more trouble, instead of dying at the hands of some yodel mage under the attention of all Noxians, it would be a nightmare for Noxus, and the same is true for Svein in this regard." ”

“……”

Trist was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the truth was probably just like what Rhodes said, it was in the interests of LeBlanc to assassinate Vladimir, but not to die in Musou.

And what about Svein?

I'm afraid it's the same, right?

Other words...... What does this operation need to face against the power of the entire Noxus in the Immortal Fortress region?

Trist subconsciously shivered, raised his head in horror, and looked at Rod who had been smiling.

Rod winked at Trist - "Got it? ”

"This ...... It's impossible. Trist subconsciously spoke, "This is not Bilgewater, as long as we have to jump into the sea, we have a chance, in the Immortal Fortress, we don't even have a chance to leave......"

"That's not something you need to think about." Rod laughed, "Now, let's assign tasks!" ”
