Page 178 Blood of Shame

"Do you have a question?" Svein glanced at the puzzled Darius sitting across from him, and continued to tease the raven on his shoulder.

The time was three hours after the end of the battle below the Table Heights, at the former Snow Mountain Alliance barracks three thousand yards away from the Table Heights.

The Noxians had filled the base that had belonged to the barbarians, and the lights of the camp were on, and there was a little warmth in this cold and snowy night.

"I don't understand." After a long silence, Darius finally spoke the first words of the night.

"Don't understand what?" Svein didn't look back, and answered a little knowingly.

"I don't understand why you want to give up the Snow Mountain Alliance, when the entire Demacian army was completely paralyzed, and Tedamir dragged their biggest killer weapon, even if that Ezreal is very powerful as you said, but we can completely withstand the pressure to save those people back." Dryeston paused, as if he felt a little stuffy in his chest, he pulled away his scarlet armor and gasped fiercely, "Even if you originally planned to wipe out the Snow Mountain Alliance, you don't have to do it at this time, right, now that we are alone, how can we explain to the general when we go back?" ”

"What else?" Svein was not in a hurry to answer Darius's question, he slowly combed the crow's messy feathers, as if convinced that Darius must have something else.

Sure enough, Darius was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but he probably had experienced this kind of scene, so he immediately spoke again.

"And besides, what are you doing to stop me from killing that damn little thing called Ezreal?" Darius was really a little annoyed when he said this, few of the people he wanted to kill were immortal, and Ezreal was unfortunately listed as his target of death like Zhao Xin.

"First of all." Svein finally straightened out the crow's feathers, rubbed his fingers, stretched out one, and said, "Tydamir has betrayed us completely. ”

"Why are you so sure?" Darius frowned, and he tried to retort, "Didn't you say that at most, sixty percent of the time your plan was seen through?" ”

"Because Karthas didn't come, the other party's layout must not have seen the true strength of Karthas." Svein's pupils contracted slightly, as if he had thought of something that even a monster like him would be afraid of, "With Tydamir's strength, even if you add five hundred people, you will definitely not be able to last ten minutes." Ten minutes, enough for the old monster to arrive. ”

"Well......" Draeensden retorted, knowing that Dawsvein had fought with Karthhas many times, and it is said that on one occasion he almost died, and when he came back, he did not even know where his crutches had been thrown, and he had a serious illness, and it took half a year to recover. It was the only time Svein was forced to be so miserable.

"What's the second point?" He could only continue to ask the following questions.

"The second point." Svein stretched out two fingers, long, sharp nails that had not been trimmed all year round, and there was an unspeakable mystery under the dim oil lamp, "Noxian War Code 3, do not make any unnecessary sacrifices. Any blood that is not shed for profit and glory is the blood of shame. ”

This phrase was one of the most important ideas of warfare for the first founding king of Noxus, and it is often the basis for historians to praise the emperor for his love for his soldiers.

"What do you mean?" But Darius couldn't understand Svein's thought-provoking answer.

As if he didn't want to answer any of Darius's questions, Svein turned his head again, took a worm out of his pocket, and fed it to the crow's mouth.

However, it was probably poor Darius's brain cells, and Svein finally gave a hint, saying:

"What do you think our ultimate goal is?"

The end goal? Darius seemed to have finally caught a glimmer of fire in the night.

——————————————

"What is Svein's ultimate goal?"

Two hours later, the location was changed to the camp of the Avarossa people.

It was late at night, and the snow was falling again.

There was snow falling on the roof of the tent, and a slight rustling sound echoed in the air.

The day's fighting had exhausted everyone's energy, and the overall situation had been decided, so even Galen did not hold any more late-night military meetings, but let the tired people go back to rest and prepare for the follow-up offensive the next morning.

Chen Senran did have a good rest...... Well, in fact, he was tortured by the angry little Lori for more than three hours, and after leaving a small white tooth mark on one arm, and making an unequal treaty that he must take her to the front line in the future, otherwise he would bite Chen Senran's two arms, he was able to watch her sleep peacefully with relief.

Chen Senran tucked the corners of the quilt for the little Annie, who had had enough of making trouble and finally fell asleep, and blew out the two bright magic lamps in the tent, leaving only a dim oil lamp shining on a military map with clear lines.

He never grasped Svein's overall idea, and he speculated from all sides, but he never got the answer. He always felt that the current situation was still under Svein's control.

Is it a delusion? Chen Senran kept asking himself this question, trying to calm himself down. But that sense of uneasiness was always there, and he knew that his instincts were very smart.

This instinct has allowed him to avoid danger countless times. And the most serious time of this intuition was the time before he died in the last world, but that time, he didn't care at all.

"Why don't you want to think about it, what is the ultimate purpose of Noxus?"

At the moment when Chen Senran fell into self-debate again, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears, he was startled, and then remembered that Lao Du had been sitting in the corner of this tent, and he had subconsciously ignored him just now.

While lamenting that his sense of vigilance was getting worse and worse, Chen Senran keenly sensed the meaning of Lao Du's sentence just now.

What is the ultimate purpose of Noxus?

At first glance, it may sound like the same concept as Svein's ultimate goal, but from a big picture perspective, they are two completely different concepts.

In the final analysis, Svein's purpose, which Chen Senran had been entangled with, was actually a small-scale strategy, thus ignoring the most important point, that is, the real purpose, in other words, benefits.

What is the ultimate benefit of him doing this?

This is really a sentence to wake up a dreamer, Chen Senran glanced at Lao Du in the corner with some surprise, but the light was dim at this time, and the old guy lowered his head again, it seemed to be a fake sleep, and he couldn't see his expression at all.

But Chen Senran still said: "Thank you." ”

Then when he saw the military map again, he immediately stood up and walked out of the tent, he was going to see Galen, for he had thought of some possibility.

The second more. Slept.
