Ionia is a blessed place for the gods, with crystal hubs created by nature, ancient ruins left by the gods, and Papal buildings everywhere forming a huge magic circle with each other. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As early as a millennium, the harsh climatic conditions of this island in the far north have been constantly reinvented, and today it is almost spring-like.

It wasn't until mid-December that a widespread snowfall spread to the south, and Ionia finally had a short winter.

At the Presdian Giant, the confrontation between the Ionian Guard and the Noxian Imperial Army is as good as ever. However, the Imperial Army had begun to stop the manufacture of large siege engines, and the artillery units were withdrawn one after another.

Judged that the Noxians had complied with the armistice, the War College turned its attention to a series of League of Legends celebrations at the end of the year, claiming that the Ionian dispute would be resolved in the form of League of Legends tournaments in the future.

The temple high priest questioned this, but was helpless.

For more than ten years since the establishment of the War College, it has been committed to creating this organization called League of Legends. The fear of rune wars has led the continent's powerhouses to come to a consensus that all conflicts must be handled in a controlled and systematic manner. League of Legends was established to oversee and deal with Valoran's political strife in an orderly manner.

In recent years, this organization has been authorized by Valoran's major political entities to deal with the consequences of all political disputes.

The Battle for Ionia provided an opportunity for League of Legends to officially come into play.

While the Temple had always resented the War College's resolute rejection of guiding Valoran back to the civilization of the Age of the Gods, it was a sad thing to have to rely on their power this time.

On 17 December, the Noxian High Command gained an accurate insight into the Ionian ruler's attitude to the war and communicated the next course of action.

On the 18th, the Imperial occupation forces shrank their forces from the Presidium line and gathered the main forces in the province of Nawel.

Next, the Imperial Army, which already controls all of Neville, further expands its sphere of influence.

In response, the War College remained silent. The southern region of Ionia has been envious of the economic development of the coastal ports in recent years, and the neighboring provinces have been trying to establish a joint autonomous region with Nawel. Ionia is at loggerheads over administrative divisions, and who is to blame for being found a loophole by Noxus?

North of Navel, Sasha Province, Lotus Village.

Early in the morning, a regiment of Rangers of the occupying army passed through and began to raid the village.

Some of the villagers began to resist, and the Imperial Army, after a symbolic restraint, began to suppress it coldly. The leader was killed, and the remaining villagers became prisoners of war.

In the valley outside the village, the morning bell of the Lotus Monastery reverberates melodiously, and the monks are practicing in the morning. For a long time, they adhered to a traditional practice of benevolence, magic, and pacifism.

They had heard of the cruelty of the Noxians, and the older monks still believed in tradition and were reluctant to interfere with it.

Several injured villagers from Lianhua Village fled here and asked for their help. The elder monk blessed the villagers and healed their wounds, but never said a word.

Amid the pleading of the villagers, a woman in the monastery stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "The iron hooves of war of the Noxians have crushed the peace, and mercy will not make them fearful, let alone stop the evil deeds of the Empire. ”

The monk looked at her and said calmly: "Karma, peace requires forbearance, kindness is the strength of the heart, and perseverance can eventually be achieved." ”

For the first time, Karma questioned the elder's wisdom, and she sneered: "The cruel truth tells me that forbearance and concession cannot end the war at all, and that the achievement of holding on to mercy is not to watch the believers of God die before us?" ”

Outside the temple, the sound of horses' hooves can be heard, and the invaders are approaching here. The monk was silent for a moment, and finally said helplessly: "Okay, I will stop their killing and strive for a bloodless ending." ”

The chief monk came alone to the temple gate, smiled and stopped the Imperial army and blessed them, hoping that these people would feel the mercy of God and lay down the butcher's knife.

However, the Ranger leader was enraged by his actions, and in the eyes of the Imperial soldiers, it was the enemy who dared to stand in their way, and such a weak enemy was an insult to the Imperial soldiers.

What's more, the task of this ranger is to advance a hundred miles, how can he have time to listen to an old man here talk about the mercy of God.

The chief's saber pierced the monk's long chest, and he ordered the soldiers to attack the Lotus Monastery.

The elder monk asked his disciples to remain patient before he died, leaving the remaining monks at a loss, and they were bound by the faith of peace in the face of the enemy's butcher's knife, and they were ready to be killed.

Witnessing all this, the only woman stood up again.

Karma held up her two fans and remembered that her mentor had said, "He can raise the wind and stop it." ”

"If you want to stop the wind, I believe that you must first let the wind sweep away sin." Karma pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Mercy to the invaders is cruelty to the Ionian people, and for the sake of peace, we must not fear war today." ”

At this moment, Karma first gave up the tradition of sticking to it and awakened the dormant will to fight in his heart.

The power accumulated over a long period of hard work burst out of her soul, and a burst of spiritual fire erupted from her body, sweeping towards General Noxus.

The flames are intertwined with twin dragons, like the symbol of Ionia. It was the first time Karma had used her energy to hurt someone, and neither she nor the villagers had ever seen anything like it.

By the time the magic had subsided, the general had fallen in front of her, and the Noxian soldiers were scattered.

Karma's chanting shook the monks' beliefs, and the enemy's fear and submission to her formidable strength showed her rightness.

"To protect Ionia, everyone must face war."

Encouraged by Karma, the monks finally followed her one by one and rushed forward. When these people, who have long been imprisoned by pedantic ideas and oppressed by cruel invaders, revolt, this force is strong enough.

An elite Noxian Ranger Legion of 1,000 men and horses faced the counterattack of more than 200 monks, and was on the verge of collapse.

In the end, it was the little mercy reserved by the monks that allowed them to escape, and after Karma's anger consumed more than a hundred lives, the remnants of the Imperial army hurriedly withdrew to the province of Navel.

The rebellion in Sasha Province had previously been seen as a small-scale riot, and the Imperial Army immediately sent heavy troops to suppress it.

A heavy cavalry regiment washed the village of Lotus in blood, and the monastery was razed to ruins.

The woman, however, led most of the monks and civilians into the mountains ahead, and for days the villages within a radius of dozens of miles above the road pursued by the cavalry regiment were deserted.

Intelligence indicates that people in the mountainous areas of the southern part of Sasha province have begun to respond to a call to gather deep in the mountains, where a group called the Resistance has been announced.

And the leader of the rebels was the one who made the call, a woman.

Darius's worst fears finally happened, and even without the leadership of the Temple, the Ionians in the south were finally awakened and began to say no to the rule of the Empire.

And it's all because of that woman, Karma.

Darius immediately sent a team of Darkblade mercenaries into the mountain to assassinate him, but to no avail.

Darius then immediately gave up the assassination attempt, as the woman was too strong, and even if she were killed, another Ionian would come forward.

This is the general trend, and the Ionian rebellion has been ignited irreversibly.
