Chapter 457: Galen vs Katarina!
The situation in Karamanda can be described as tense, especially after the entry of Noxus' army.
The whole of Karamanda is divided into two parts, Noxus and Demacia each occupy a crystal hub and mines.
The two sides have been at loggerheads for years, and it is only recent emergencies that have upset the balance.
After the soldiers were settled, Katerina went with her guards to the Kalamanda Village Council.
"It's Katerina-sama from Noxus, I wonder why you came to the village council?"
The village council in Karamanda is dominated by a group of old men who are also the central figures in charge of matters related to Karamanda's mining rights.
It was an elder of the village council named Lakala Karamanda.
Karamanda is a small village and most of the inhabitants take Karamanda as their surname.
"Lakala, don't come with me, the timing of the mine explosion is too coincidental, it happened when we Noxians were not in Karamanda, isn't this time enough to explain the problem?"
Caterina stared at Lakala with burning eyes, to say that these old guys are also very tough, and in the face of the threat of many city-states, they have made a situation where Debang and Norcheng are opposed.
Lakala had expected Noxus to send someone to question him, but he didn't expect this person to be Katarina.
The Kalamanda Village Council and the people of Demacia discussed for a long time before reaching a preliminary agreement, and the one that the Village Council was most worried about was Svein and the other was Katarina.
Needless to say, Svein, the commander of the Resor garrison, was worshipped by the Noxians as the god of the battlefield.
Caterina represents another faction, the Duke Kao faction.
If Dukkao had been there in person, the Kalamanda Village Council would not have been nervous, and Dukkao was notoriously talkative.
But Caterina is different, after all, the famous phrase "sacrifice me Great Noxus with the blood of my enemies" came from the mouth of this mad woman.
All in all, the number of people who died at the hands of Caterina was only a lot more than the population of ten Kalamanda, and God knows if she would suddenly give the order to attack Karamanda.
"Lady Katarina, please listen to our explanation, after all, this is happening in the mines of Demacia......"
"Enough!"
Before one member of the village committee could finish speaking, another member rudely interrupted him.
"All evidence points to a conspiracy orchestrated by the Noxians, and we Kalamanda will not cooperate with such a dastardly city-state!"
Caterina watched with interest as the members of the village council performed.
"Well, you see, Lady Katarina, you Noxians did do a bit of a bit this time, we have always strictly forbidden the use of violence in Karamanda."
After Lakala finished speaking, Caterina smiled, put her feet on the conference table, and said lightly: "Okay, you say that it was our Noxians who blew up the mines of the Demacians, what is the evidence?" ”
"Don't be vexatious!"
"Didn't you Noxians do it?"
"That is, you are sure that it is your people."
Da Da ......
Da Da ......
Caterina rhythmically banged on the table, and the village council instantly fell silent, leaving only the crisp sound of tapping.
"The characterization of this incident here is that the Demacians deliberately framed us Noxians and murdered one of our heroic Noxian soldiers, do you have any opinion?"
Katerina's voice was calm, but with a firmness that would not allow anyone to refute!
The village committee was silent, and it was a long time before Lakala made a sound of saliva......
"Do you have any opinions?"
Caterina asked again, this time her tone was slightly raised, and the heartbeat of Lakala and the others instantly accelerated, as if someone had stuck their throats with a pair of hands!
The atmosphere was very tense for a while, and the situation that the people of the Kalamanda Village Council feared the most happened, a Svein, a Katarina, never played according to the routine!
"Durkao's daughter, an old friend Katarina, doesn't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but to show off your might in this border village, this is the way you Noxians behave?"
The eagle's armor clanked, and a tall man entered the Kalamanda Village Council, a look of disdain on his resolute face.
"Galen-Crowned Guard, was your Arch Guardian family sent here because of their strong mouths?" Caterina didn't have to look back to know who was coming in.
Galen walked up to Lakala and patted him on the shoulder, "Mr. Lakala, please go and wait outside for a while, and I will give you a satisfactory answer." ”
The members of the Kalamanda Village Council looked at each other, but Galen's arrival was a relief for them, and between the two behemoths, Karamanda's position was somewhat awkward.
It would be best if Galen could handle it.
By the time all the members of the Kalamanda Village Council had left, Galen had taken Lakala's seat, just in front of Katarina.
"The king is already on his way, and the signing of the agreement between Karamanda and Demacia is already doomed, are you here to celebrate us?"
Galen clasped his hands together and looked at Caterina meaningfully.
Caterina lowered her slender legs from the table and pulled the dagger out of her leather boots and stuck it on the table.
"Galen, you're so funny, why did Demacia start accusing us of Noxus with a corpse? I have reason to suspect that this is a conspiracy of your Demacia. ”
Galen shrugged, "Conspiracy? The Demacians never play conspiracy, you take responsibility for what you do, and the Noxians don't have any responsibility for it? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, I'll investigate this matter myself, open your Demacia mine, and I'll get to the bottom of it within ten days." Caterina was getting impatient.
"Open mines? Are you kidding me? Why don't you open your Noxus mines? Without any hesitation, Galen directly rejected Katerina's request.
Syllable!
Caterina slapped the table angrily, "What happened in your Demacia mines?" We have lost a warrior in Noxus! Now that you're blocking me from going to investigate, what are you hiding? ”
"Hey, the results of the investigation into this matter have come out, and the conditions for us to open the mine are very simple, how about opening your mine as well? Very fair terms. ”
Galen showed no weakness, he and Caterina were old rivals, and he knew enough about this crazy woman.
Caterina squinted, the dagger making a straight mark on the table.
"Very well, Galen, let me see if you have grown in the years since the armistice!"
Galen frowned, put his hand on the greatsword behind him, and looked at Caterina indifferently, "Just try it." ”
