Chapter 295: Guard or Threat
The War Masons and the Noxian Navy soon received a mission from Svein through Noxtola and quickly began the operation.
In Locrond, Svein began to wait patiently for the exact news, after all, it was related to his next move.
On the other hand, Rod flapped his wings and flew back to Besilico - to be honest, after trying the long flight, Rod quite admired Madison.
Fly like a crow...... It's really not easy!
Upon returning to Besilico, the first thing Rhodes did was not to go to Cana, but to see Queleta.
I wonder how this lord is ready?
Then, on the fence outside the Lord's Palace, Rhodes crouched in the middle of a flock of sea ven and saw Queletta trying to convince Raven in its entirety.
"Miss Raven—I cordially invite you to return to Noxus, after all, you were once a soldier of Noxus anyway."
"That's once." Raven was clearly unfazed by Qurieta's advice, "I'm just Banishing Blade right now. ”
“…… I know what you've been through in Ionia. Queletta lowered her posture wisely, "Actually, I'm a victim just like you. ”
As she spoke, Queleta pointed to her empty right arm's sleeve.
"In Ionia, I was infected by alchemy gas and had to have my leg amputated."
Raven raised an eyebrow, apparently this had been her surprise.
I thought that the loss of his right arm might be due to a defeat in Besilico...... Unexpectedly, she once suffered the same betrayal as herself.
Inadvertently, Raven has a subtle sense of empathy.
Seeing that Raven's attitude softened slightly, Queleta continued her persuasion.
"You're a Noxian—you're an honorary soldier of Noxus, and I know very well what you've done for this empire, and it's because of this dedication that you're in pain and despair and have to go into self-exile."
"But I'm sure you also understand that Noxus has gone astray, and we need to add some softer parts to the iron and blood, like a sharp sword, its hilt shouldn't be as cold and sharp, that will only cut itself."
"So, in fact, we are on our side - I hope that through this operation, Svein will be restrained and not led Noxus further and further down the wrong path."
"Noxus needs power, but it's not just power......"
Quelleta was a bitter lone for Raven - she had never been so patient with her daughter.
And since Queleta's rhetoric is going in much the same direction as Rod's, Raven apparently listens to this passage.
Seeing Raven nodding frequently, Qurieta secretly clenched her fists.
Very good!
Didn't Rhodes leave Raven to spy on him?
All I need to do now is to turn against the watchers, and see what else you have to spy on me!
When you and the Noxian Navy are in hand, Svein and I will negotiate directly, and then together we will drown you in the endless sea of conquest!
No one can harbor ill intentions towards Noxus!!
However, when Queletta tries to convince Raven to give up her "protection", Raven shakes her head and refuses.
"It's my duty, and I must keep you safe."
“…… I'm in good shape, and there's no chance of an assassination when the plan doesn't surface, so it's not dangerous for me to leave the Lord's Mansion for a while. ”
"In order for the plan to be carried out smoothly, I have to control all the uncertainties." Raven still shook her head stubbornly, "This is my order. ”
"But you need to know that the bastard who ordered you is not a Noxians at all - he will not even let Noxus suffer losses to achieve his goals, and you should not follow his orders......"
"Whether I obey his orders or not has nothing to do with who he is." Raven refused Qurieta's request, "For me, the whole plan is a war, and in war, soldiers need to obey commands. ”
Querieta holds his forehead with one hand.
Without a doubt, Raven is the best soldier in Noxus.
But...... That's too dead-eyed, isn't it?!
It's all said, that guy named Rhodes and Noxus don't think all the way, why do you still look like you're obedient?!
It's a pity that Queletta doesn't understand at all, and her and Raven's thoughts are not on the same frequency at all.
Quirieta still participated in too few wars.
In Raven's view, "I must obey Rod's orders" is also part of the plan, as long as he disobeys Rod's orders, it is to destroy the plan.
Raven, who has entered execution mode, doesn't care if there is anything wrong with the plan itself, let alone be persuaded by words.
Now Raven is completely a broken sword that has been reforged, ready to fight.
Perhaps Queleta's words made sense and made Raven empathize, but ...... So what?
Raven will think again about the gains and losses after the whole plan is completed, but now that she is in the plan, she will not allow the slightest change.
In this case, no matter how much Qurieta talks about the lotus, she is destined to be unable to win Raven over.
Maybe...... After the plan is completed, Raven will realize that Rhodes is fooling herself and turn against him, but as long as the plan is not over, Raven must follow the plan.
The most elite soldier in Noxus - that's not just talk!
Raven can become the most elite soldier in Noxus, relying on the aura of the protagonist of the "City Soldier King", but the action ability to obey the command 100% and complete the task 100%.
If the mission is to arrive at a certain moment and a certain time, Raven will arrive regardless of the cost.
In a sense, Raven is like a robot in battle - she doesn't care if she will face countless enemies or reinforcements when she arrives, she will only reach her goal, and that's it.
Only such a soldier can allow Noxus to take his madness to the extreme!
Now, Raven, who has entered the action mode, is impossible to be persuaded by words.
Seeing that Raven was not entering, Quiletta collapsed on the chair in a bit of a dejection.
Damn, if you don't leave the Lord's Mansion, a lot of quietly carried out actions will inevitably leave unnecessary traces!
But...... In order to clean up the damn mage, he had to act.
That's it!
"Well, then, I'm not leaving—can I call Infutia? I have something to tell her. ”
"No problem."
Raven nodded, then hid in the shadows for a moment.
"Herald, call my adjutant to me!"
And Rod, who saw this scene, flapped his wings in satisfaction and left the lord's mansion.
