Chapter 104: I'll Go Alone
"Did Besiliko betray the Empire?"
Darius stuck his axe in his chair and stared intently at the map on the round table.
His hands were clenched into fists, and his thick hands pressed hard against the round table, and anyone could feel his force.
"The change of the empire has given everyone the opportunity to choose again, and Besilko was just the first to take off the banner of the empire. The general stationed there, if I remember correctly, seems to be called..."
Before Ryan could finish his bland words, he was rudely interrupted by Darius:
"Queleta! The two of us joined Colonel Cyrus with Draven. ”
"I think they just haven't put up the new Imperial flag, and it just so happens that there's a new flag in the council chamber that has just been made, General Darius." Ryan said with a smile.
His gaze looked over the parliamentary round table, where a bright red flag was planted with the new coat of arms of the Empire.
Hearing Ryan's words, Darius was obviously hesitant, and there was a struggle on his face.
Queleta, the name symbolizes so much more than just his original companion.
Ryan knew what he meant, and that Trevary could be okay with the past, as long as Besilico replanted the new flag of the Empire.
If this can be done, then it will be enough to prove that it was Darkwell who was the opposite before, not the Trefali Council that is now in power.
And this is the power that comes with his strength.
But he didn't want to do it in his heart.
"I'll go there myself and find out what's going on."
Darius took a deep breath, clenched his fists tightly, and looked at Ryan with a pleading gaze.
"You want to go alone?"
Ryan raised an eyebrow, he didn't think it was a good idea.
Besiliko was located on the northern defense line of the empire and was garrisoned by at least three thousand Noxian soldiers.
It wasn't a Picheng sheriff, it was a heavily armed Noxian elite.
If Queleta wasn't the only rebel against the Empire, then Darius risked dying there.
He didn't think those people could break Darius's defenses, but it should be possible to trap Darius by sacrificing numbers.
Otherwise, it is not called rebellion, but a child's play.
"Raven told me that her betrayal stemmed from her resentment with you, Darius." Svein wrote lightly.
He had almost no personal desires, and had always firmly believed that the love of children would be a stumbling block for him.
"Commander, there's no need to be so harsh." Ryan shook his head and smiled, "Trevary is the new ruler, and although we are well known to the public, we also have a lot of political enemies, and they naturally don't want to serve under us. ”
Draven cut a batch a few days ago, but there are still quite a few that are not in the Immortal Fortress.
And the generals and magistrates who were associated with the liquidated people did not surprise anything.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that the first to express disobedience was Besilik, whose garrison generals had a lot to do with Darius.
"This time I have to go. Your Majesty, I need your help to get me over there, I only need a day. Darius looked resolute.
"I respect your choice, Darius." Ryan said, "You'll have a day to prepare, and someone will set the coordinates near Besilik, and I'll teleport you over myself." ”
Every time a rune is teleported, there must be a coordinate there. Most of them are magical mediums made by the mages themselves.
Darius had one on him, so yesterday he was able to summon it back with a huge amount of mana.
And Besilico is located in the north of the empire, he has not been there, so he can only prepare in advance.
Darius is a heavily armed warrior, and he has traveled long distances to get there, and it is estimated that the anti-flag has been planted in the city.
"Zhao Xin."
"The last general!"
Zhao Xin, who was guarding the door, turned around, knelt on one knee, and bowed with his fists folded.
"Take it to Besiliko and light the candles."
Ryan had an extra pure blue candlestick in his hand, waved his hand lightly, and floated in front of Zhao Xin.
"Order! It only takes one day to light a candle on it! ”
Zhao Xin's face was solemn, and after receiving the order, he went out with a gun in one hand and a candlestick in the other.
When he reached the door, he whistled loudly. Immediately afterwards, he kicked his legs violently, jumped high, and flew straight into the air dozens of meters in the air.
As he fell, a black shadow flew quickly, caught him, and quickly headed north.
The creature had a head like an eagle, four claws, and two huge wings flapping, and in a moment disappeared without a trace.
"Zhao Xin, the commander of the winged cavalry, is worthy of his name."
Darius suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and his tiger eyes widened, watching Zhao Xin ride the griffin and drift away.
He had heard of Zhao Xin's reputation, and he was once the strongest general under Ryan.
Even after Ryan and Svein retired from the military, he was still active in the Ionian battlefield, defending the island of Filor and often helping Noxus' army.
"There was also an incident the other day where our Councillor Elise went out to sea on a ship, targeting Shadow Island." Svein's face was calm.
He knew everything that was going on in the empire.
"Shadow Isle, the gathering place of the filthy reverent." Darius was unimpressed.
The Isle of Shadows is home to a large number of undead, like a half-alive and half-dead realm. The souls of creatures that die there do not return to the underworld, but are transformed into the undead there, retaining the strongest desires of life.
Only the people who knew it well, or the unfathomable Bilgewater bounty hunters, set foot in a land that did not belong to the living.
"It was originally called Fuguang Island, and it was a country with extremely advanced magic. But then, two events changed it completely. Ryan looked regretful.
He thought for a moment, then added:
"Still, there are a lot of magical relics or books about magic. Elise should be targeting them. ”
"Good choice as a gift to the founding of the council." The corners of Svein's mouth curled into contempt, and he added lightly: "Trefali wants to win over or eliminate all the destabilizing factors of the empire. ”
"She was originally a pawn of the Black Rose, and now her heart is naturally biased towards them, but one day, she will truly become one of us." Ryan smiled, "Her current strength is not worth mentioning, but the spider behind her is very interesting." And only we can help her free from the cobwebs. ”
After some discussion of trivia, Svein opened his mouth to mention another matter:
"General Darius, a gap is about to appear in the Western Front Corps, and our army is losing ground under the leadership of Prince Demacia and a new sword captain."
"After dealing with Besilik's business, I'll head there with the Trifali Warband. The prince and the new sword captain are nothing more than two young dolls. Darius snorted coldly and took the job.
Noxus is shrinking its defenses, but it doesn't mean that they don't dare to resist when they are beaten to their doorstep.
"You don't need to expand your territory, but you have to teach them a lesson." Ryan reminded.
Now that the Empire's war potential is almost exhausted, it is enough to make the other side dare not attack.
In the future, there are lands waiting for them to conquer.
"Understood!"
Darius strode out of the council to prepare for the war to come.
