Chapter 22: Change

Three days later.

In the sound of a magnificent trumpet, Gavin II led his men back to Demacia, to everyone's surprise, after a battle, the tens of thousands of troops who had left at the beginning were almost not reduced, and everyone's faces were full of smiles, and after careful questioning, it was learned that Prince Lunn successfully attacked the troops of Noxus with a strategy on the Great Plains, and wiped out most of its main force with almost no losses, and obtained unprecedented results.

It seems like a little too fast...... Carefully calculated, it had only taken about ten days since II left Demacia and returned today, and excluding the time spent on the battle, it seemed that they had spent too little time on the road, where exactly did they meet the troops of Noxus? However, this question is not important, looking at the expressions of joy on the faces of the second and Prince Lunn because of the victory, it is enough to say that Prince Lunn has achieved such great results in the first independent command of the battle, which is undoubtedly the second good news of this month, the celebratory atmosphere that has faded in the city has been provoked again, and the celebratory decorations that have been put away continue to hang back in place.

Everything looks good, it's just ...... Belch......

That's right, all this is just a cover-up, it was originally a battle that never happened, and these soldiers have all been tampered with by Xiu, no matter how you ask them, there will be no problems.

And in these three days, the mood of the second is more than imagined.

Contrary to the joyful atmosphere in the city, the palace of Demacia was not so calm at this time, after a simple announcement of the non-existent battle situation in the square, the second hurriedly but without a trace quickly returned to the palace, the rapid change of expression made the surrounding attendants feel terrified, and at the same time, Lunn was wearing gorgeous armor and celebrating his non-existent victory with the people, he originally wanted to ask what happened, but after seeing his father and his indescribable complicated expression, Lunn didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he could only do the task assigned to him according to his father's arrangement.

"Hey Zhao Xin...... You've spent the most time with the boss, is the boss really okay this time? ”

Outside a small conference room, Shivana and Zhao Xin were standing guard on both sides, and after returning here, the second immediately entered the conference room and put the two of them in charge of guarding the place, for some reason, Sivana's princess identity was not revealed, which was a secret between the royal family.

“…… No problem. Zhao Xin replied.

"You're lying, you hesitate for a second."

The experience of growing up together since childhood has made the two of them know each other enough, although Shivana and the second have not spent as much time together as Zhao Xin, but she also knows very well that such an embarrassed second is the first time he has seen him, since saying goodbye to Reginade, the second has barely said a superfluous word, he just ordered the next move in the simplest language with a blank face, not only that, but he didn't even come back with Xiu.

"Ah...... Whoever is hit by such a big blow will be very disappointed. Zhao Xin didn't refute or affirm, just continued to stand there straight, seeing that he didn't speak, Shivana hugged her arms behind her head and continued with some concern, no matter what the relationship was.

"But I believe in him."

“…… Ha? ”

Zhao Xin's sudden speech made Shivana's eyes widen, and Zhao Xin's attitude was not so much like it was from the perspective of his subordinates, but it was very much like ...... Friend: "You won't still believe in the previous agreement, will you?" ”

"Why don't you believe it?" Zhao Xin tilted his head and asked a little strangely.

"Well...... That's true for you......" Shivana didn't retort, she just looked up at the sky, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl.

"Hoo ......"

While the two were talking, a magician hurried to the side, judging by his robes, he was not of high rank, and under normal circumstances, he would not have been summoned in such a separate manner.

"It seems that the situation is not very good" Looking at his depressed expression, Shivana immediately understood something, he smiled bitterly and whispered to Zhao Xin, and then waved his hand to the magician, "Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time, hurry up and go in." ”

"Hey......? Your Excellency Shivana, Your Excellency Zhao Xin...... "The magician recognized the two of them, the status of the elite guards of Demacia in the army is quite high, and even has the right to speak on some occasions equivalent to will, after seeing these two people, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked to see the savior, "I really don't dare to go in, I will tell you the data, can you help me go in and convey it on my behalf?" ”

"Huh? It's not good......"

"It doesn't matter, he's a person who knows the difference between public and private."

Before Sivana finished speaking, Zhao Xin rarely interrupted him, I don't know why, Zhao Xin's firm attitude seemed to make the magician muster up courage, he took a deep breath, saluted Zhao Xin and Shivana, and pushed the door open.

"Your Majesty, the number of people has been counted."

"Speak quickly!" Although it only took less than a few minutes, it was too long for the current second, and after returning to the palace, he immediately ordered an inventory of the number of magicians, and he had to find out how much combat power Demacia had lost.

"This ......" In the face of the second, the confidence that the magician got from Zhao Xin was still not enough, and he smiled a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, you just came back, should you rest for a while before ......?"

"None of this matters, hurry up and tell me the exact number."

There was no anger in the voice of the second, but there was an irresistible majesty, everyone around trembled involuntarily, and in the face of the second's order, the magician couldn't help but stand up straight and whispered: "The magicians who left this time are close to one-third of the total, most of them are intermediate magicians, as for the high-level magicians and the magicians......"

The magician paused for a moment, as if it was difficult to speak, he lowered his head and took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "As for the high-level magicians and magicians, most of them have already left, and there are less than ten people left who choose to stay. ”

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the room seemed to drop below freezing, and after returning to Horant, the second immediately summoned his cabinet, and there were twenty people sitting here, in addition to the cabinet members, the rest were the speaker of the parliament and the most qualified councillors, and the second gave them a general explanation of everything that had happened in the past few days, and they would not be unclear about what the news meant.

"Whew...... I see, you step down first. ”

Unlike what he expected, after hearing the news, the second did not get as angry as he imagined, he just stood there and was silent for a while, and then said in his usual tone.

No matter how much temper he has, he can't recover the lost combat power, and on the way back in three days, the Second has understood this truth, and more importantly, even if he loses most of the elite magicians, the Noxians may not be much better, in a sense, Demacia has not actually lost......

Is this self-soothing? Thinking of this, II couldn't help but smile bitterly, now, the magicians who originally belonged to him are above the Mogro Pass, together with the magicians of Noxus, trying to establish a new world order.

It's really funny that a group of people who were originally hostile want to protect the world...... II had thought this more than once, but it was already clear that they were not joking.

"Okay guys, that's pretty much the way things are going to be right now, if you have any comments, please let them know immediately."

"Boss...... May I ask a question? ”

Perhaps because the amount of news was too huge, no one expressed any opinion for a while, and after waiting for an unknown amount of time, a voice finally sounded from the side, and the person who spoke was the speaker of the parliament of Demacia, a wise middle-aged man.

"Say." II replied immediately.

"It's a fact that Lord Reginald left Demacia, and we have lost a lot of magicians, our opinion is just a reference, and most importantly, what are you going to do, boss? Accept his advice? ”

"We don't have many options...... "II sighed heavily, the question pulling him back to the most important question of the moment: what should we do next?

Years of time have made the second already familiar with Reginald's personality, although he is very easy-going, but once he decides something, he will definitely implement it firmly to the end, not to mention that his decision to leave Demacia this time is not a child's play, thinking of the threat that he will destroy the entire Valoran continent, the second can't help but feel a wave of fear.

So should this suggestion be accepted? No...... It also needs to be considered......

"By the way, what do you think about that 'summoning system', boss?" A lawmaker asked.

"Hmm...... Everything was fine except that it was much like a toy. “

After calming down, II went back to the hall and tried it for himself, I have to admit that this system is indeed quite exquisite, it perfectly simulates all situations, including human conditions and external factors, and even the weather is consistent with the local area, Reginald's "putting the war in a controllable environment" is not just a joke, this can indeed completely simulate the victory or defeat of a war.

"But Boss, even if you do win there, is this result acceptable?"

This is not a problem, if the "League of Legends" organization can really bring all the forces together, then this force will have absolutely convincing power to force either side to act according to the results of the simulation......

But before that, how can we unite this divided continent?

The formation of the alliance seems to be at an impasse, and the formation of such an organization must rely on the cooperation of many parties, but the two most convincing countries are in perennial war, and II is not a war maniac, and understands that the consequence of continuing the war may be the loss of everyone's homeland, but ......
