Ten days after the Soji Empire took the Sea of the Watchers, Darkwell's anxious waiting, the 100,000-strong army of the expedition against Ionia returned triumphantly.

Few people know the true purpose of the expedition of the 100,000 army to Ionia, so seeing that the 100,000 army did not lose too many numbers, most people thought that it was a victory.

Darkwell also put on a beaming face to greet the army.

There is no way, morale cannot be lowered any longer.

First, the fleet was defeated by the Zongji Empire at sea, and then the Watchmen's Sea Peninsula returned to the Zongji Empire, and let more people know that the purpose of the expedition of 100,000 troops to Ionia was not to expand, but to come back just for show, so do you want morale?

During the day, Darkwell, as the king, personally gave a banquet for the soldiers to return from victory, and at night he called for Svein to come.

He wondered a little in his heart, why didn't he see Svein during the day?

After waiting for a while, Svein had not yet arrived, and Darkwell had a bad feeling, and he couldn't help but start pacing up and down the room.

"King, General Svein has not come, but his servant has come."

Darkwell's guards came in to report.

"Let him in!"

Darkwell was very angry, this Svein refused to see him, and only sent a servant over, he was His Majesty! What does he mean?

"Meet my king!"

Svein's servant fell down on his knees, and said with trembling all his body, that he was afraid, that the angry king would kill him, but that he had to come again.

"Where's Vesin!? Why didn't he come to see me? ”

If the servant hadn't come, Darkwell would have thought that Vesin had been given the means of immortality for himself.

"Back to His Majesty, the Great General... He..."

The servant hesitated as if he had scruples.

"Say! What happened to him!? ”

Darkwell dispersed and pressured the servant.

"General, he failed! And in Presidine lost an arm. ”

The servant gritted his teeth and told the truth.

"What!? Failed? This waste! Who beat him? ”

Darkwell was furious, and when Svein had failed, he believed that Preciden had the secret of eternal life.

"It's... It was a young girl named Irelia. ”

"Girl!? A teenage girl!? Rubbish! Rubbish!!! ”

Darkwell was extremely angry, he felt that this defeat was all caused by Svein, coupled with the failure of his last attack on the Zongji Empire, and the loss of so much territory of the empire a few days ago, Darkwell was still counting on Svein to come back and turn things around, but he didn't expect the news to be like this.

On the second day, Darkwell announced the failure of Svein's expedition to Ionia, and then ordered that Svein be removed from his position as General and that he become an ordinary man.

This decree was opposed by many people, but Darkwell insisted on going his own way and directly removed Svein as an ordinary person.

Svein had a high reputation in the Noxian army, and for a time the generals of the defenders from all over the country wrote to the king to intercede on Svein's behalf, but Darkwell was like a king who ate a weight and was iron-hearted, and still insisted on confiscating everything from Svein and drove him out of the royal capital.

At the time of the slight upheaval at the top of Noxus, Zhang Chen had already arrived in Piltover.

Passing through the Gate of the Sun by boat, Zhang Chen saw the prosperous and busy Piltover Wharf, as well as the majestic Piltover Sea Lock.

Piltover is a small country and a port city, and the country, or the richest and most prosperous city in Runeterra, is surrounded by a group of powerful oligarchs.

Zhang Chen came here at the invitation of these magnates.

As for why those powerful people invited Zhang Chen to come? And not because of profit?

In the past, a lot of money came from Bilgewater, not because people wanted to come, but because the people in Bilgewater were robbing it at sea!

With the establishment of the Zongji Empire, there were far fewer pirates at sea, which made the merchants of Piltover a lot happier.

However, this is not the main reason, the main reason is that the Zongji Empire has taken the Sea of Watchmen Peninsula!

To the south of this peninsula, only a hundred nautical miles is the continent of Shurima!

A must-stop for Piltover ships sailing east! It can be said to be a "customs card"!

Zhang Chen has such an important place in his hands, of course those powerful people have to please him.

Therefore, there was a trip to Piltover, and it happened to be as Zhang Chen wished, his next goal was to take Picheng and Zuan.

"Dear King of the Zongji Empire, welcome to Piltover, I am Jagu. Myrdada. ”

Jagu Myrdarda is the current head of the Myrdalda family. In Piltover, Jagu was in power. He was one of Piltover's magnates in power.

"Old Jagu, you are mistaken, there is no king in our country, I am the emperor."

Zhang Chen corrected the other party's mistake, and the other party smiled annoyed and changed his name.

Riding on the unique Cantaksta cable car in Piltover and sightseeing the scenery of Pitover, old Jagu proudly asked Zhang Chen, "How?" ”

"How?"

Zhang Chen, who was admiring the prosperity of Piltover, was suddenly asked by the other party a little inexplicable.

"Of course, His Majesty's opinion of our Leather City."

Jagu smiled as sly as an old fox, he must have something to do.

How could Zhang Chen do what he wanted.

"It's good, it's good, it's very prosperous, I really want to send troops to take it down."

"Ahem! Cough! Cough! ”

Old Jia Gu was frightened and blocked his throat with a mouthful of old phlegm, and he almost didn't take his breath.

"It's just that the smog in this leather city is so eye-catching?"

Hearing the topic of ledger transfer, Lao Jia Gu thought that Zhang Chen's previous sentence was a joke, and he replied, "That haze was caused by the group of people engaged in alchemy technology in Zu'an below, and it is really a group of filthy people." ”

Described, old Jagu showed a deep disgust, and it was clear that he was a man with "aristocratic disease".

"Alchemy technology? I've heard it's comparable to Hextech? ”

"Impossible!"

Old Jagu seemed to be a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and he immediately blew up, as if he felt that such a big reaction was a bit inconsistent with the influence of the aristocracy, so he forcibly calmed down.

"Your Majesty, Hextech is a new and unexpected fusion of magic and technology, being used to create beautiful crafts that anyone can use, rather than exclusively for the few with arcane talents. It can harness the magical energy contained in extremely rare crystals, and its power is limited only by the imagination of the user. It has the ability to accomplish amazing feats, from powering machines to produce beams, to cutting through the hardest steel. Hextech's process is a strictly kept secret, and no two craftsmen work in the same way. That's why every Hextech item is a unique artifact with a rare beauty, a custom piece that is likely to take years to create. He is not comparable to those dangerous, highly toxic, flammable and explosive junk alchemy technology! ”

Old Jia Gu said a lot to Zhang Chen like brainwashing, anyway, Zhang Chen didn't listen to it, anyway, it was all his one-sided words and personal opinions, Zhang Chen didn't think alchemy technology was so unbearable.
