Chapter 477: Beyond the Battlefield (Part II)
In the city of Demacia, in the office of Gavin IV, Gavin took a copy of the latest battle report and watched it carefully, not showing a smile. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Your Highness seems to be in a good mood." Galen walked in in armor, followed by several generals and staff officers, all of whom were big names in Demacia, but Galen was the only one who dared to joke in front of Gavin IV.
"It's okay, there's a big win over the Blackstone Fortress, and I'm thinking about how to reward those two young men." Gavin IV put the battle report aside and said with a smile.
"Compared to this, I feel more gratified that Noxus seems to be ready to completely cut off the carrion this time, so we must also be prepared to deal with it, if we let Noxus smoothly integrate all the forces, then, we will fall into passivity." A general bowed slightly and said in a rough voice.
"How can it be so easy, if you want to cut off the carrion, you always have to bleed, and what we have to do is to let him bleed more, preferably to break his muscles and bones." A mustachioed strategist said.
"The point is that we can't influence the internal struggle in Noxus at all, and don't forget, it's those two guys who are in charge of this matter, in Noxus City, there is Svein to respond, and on the sideline, there is Hercules, the old fox who executes, since they dare to do this, they must be sure to control things within a certain range."
"Actually, it is not impossible to completely drag Noxus into the abyss of infighting, but the price we need to pay is a bit big." A woman who had not spoken suddenly spoke, the woman looked quiet, with long golden hair casually draped behind her, delicate facial features, a natural beauty, but all those who knew her were all shivering, because this is a ruthless master, once she spoke, she was absolutely full of corpses, most of them were enemies, but also Demacia's own people. This kind of person is very unsociable in Demacia, because her values are very different from the justice that Demacia pursues, but she has to admit that her methods are always able to maximize the benefits.
"Serena, what do you have to do?" Gavin asked, no one else avoiding the femme fatale.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just to help those old nobles, so that Svein doesn't have a good reason to do it, but he can't stop, so he has to do it hard." Serena said indifferently, however, Gavin IV and the others frowned, helping those old nobles said simply, but they are Demacians, helping the old nobles of Noxus, how to help? It can only be with the lives of the warriors of Demacia. Because the life of the warriors of Demacia is the exploits of Noxus.
"Your Highness, those Demacian warriors have just won a battle, should we reward them in this way? I would never agree with that. One of the generals immediately stood up against it.
"Yes, Your Highness, although this has plunged Noxus into serious civil strife, our losses will not be small, and in the long run, Noxus will be able to recover after a few years, but once this matter leaks out, it will completely collapse Demacia's value system, and, don't forget, there is still a traitor within us who has not been dug up." A staff officer glanced at Serena meaningfully, the meaning was obvious, your intentions were worth scrutinizing.
"Well, I don't want unwarranted suspicion within us. Serena's suggestion is also for everyone to discuss, not to be confused with the mole. Gawain IV stopped the others from attacking Serena, and Serena ignored the accusations of the others.
"We can't just let go of Noxus's conspiracy, tell Affleck that we can fight a little harder, but in the end, we must leave the fortress in a rout, and we can't let the other party see the flaws. Alright, that's all for today's meeting, everyone leaves, Galen and Serena stay. Jiawen IV waved his hand and said unquestionably.
Soon, there were only three people left in the conference room, but none of the three seemed to have the intention of speaking first, and seemed to be pondering something.
"Serena, you were too rash to suggest that suggestion was not appropriate for that occasion." Finally, Galen broke the silence and spoke first, although he was reproaching Serena, but his tone did not mean a hint of reproach.
"Woman's kindness, this is war, if you are not willing to sacrifice even a little, how can you win." Serena said unceremoniously, there was no step for Galen to give.
"The price is to be paid, but you can't say it, otherwise, why do you think this reinforcement sent Affleck, as long as our orders are delivered, Affleck will know what to do, and those soldiers will not die because of us, but for the sake of the country." Galen continued to explain.
"Hypocrisy." Serena said disdainfully.
"But that's politics."
Galen and Serena did not stop the conversation, and also wanted to explain his intention to do so through Galen's mouth.
"I see." After Serena finished speaking, she got up directly and left the conference room.
"It seems that the princess chosen by His Majesty for you is not very good-tempered!" Galen said teasingly to Gavin IV, not a little more serious than just at the meeting, but more like a friend gloating when he saw his friend's bad luck.
"At least it's smart, not like those aristocratic ladies who only know how to go to balls and gossip." Gavin IV shrugged his shoulders, without a hint of majesty.
"By the way, has there been any movement at the War College lately? It is impossible for them not to know about the affairs of Noxus, but they have not seen any interference, which is very inconsistent with their code of conduct. Gavin IV asked seriously.
"No, this is also my strange place, the War College has been too quiet recently, and a large part of the current situation in the Valoran Continent is related to the silence of the War College. It's not surprising to me if the War College is an organization of conspirators, but they are clearly not. Galen agreed, confused.
"Okay, leave him alone, our focus now is on Noxus, as for the War College, let's take it one step at a time, but don't relax, I always feel that something is about to happen in the War College, and it's definitely not a trivial matter." Gavin IV shook his head and said.
