Compared with force, it is obviously politics and the talent to perceive people's hearts and minds are even better.

This point is deeply ingrained in the thinking of the eight officials.

After all, whether it is an empire or a city-state, it is ruled by people.

Seraphine nodded lightly and said directly:

"The risk is determined in terms of the extent of the contagion. After all, most humans are just ordinary people. And for Ms. Laxana..."

She turned her head towards Laxana and said generously:

"With her by her side, even if there are many Noxus' troops, except for General Darius, the rest will be turned into ashes under the attack of her and the Forbidden Stone Colossus Galio."

Seeing Laxana nodding seriously, Tiana sighed to herself.

Seraphine's words can indeed dispel their scruples.

But at the same time, it also deepened the jealousy of the other eight officials against Laxana.

I guessed that Laxana had great strength, and the weight of this strength was completely different from that of the former enemy country who personally admitted this strength.

"We agree to General Darius' request for transit, but His Highness Gavin and Sword Captain Galen will accompany him all the way to attack Freljord with General Darius." Tiana agreed.

Attacking from their direction alone, although they had to bear the pressure of being with Noxus and facing other forces on the continent, the territory and resources they gained belonged to Demacia.

Although Noxus now borders the Claws of Winter, it is not easy to get through the two sides.

What's more, even if the relationship between superficial allies is maintained, there should be a buffer zone in between.

"No problem at all!"

Seraphine readily agreed, and everything that happened today was expected by the Trifali Council.

Even before she came, she had actually simulated today's scene in the council with Archsan Svein and Lady LeBlanc.

The simulated scene at that time was almost the same as what happened today, with only a few minor differences.

After a few more details about the relationship between the two countries, Seraphine left the council hall satisfied.

After that, it was time for the meeting of the eight officials, and she would be escorted by Silas back to the embassy that Demacia had arranged for them.

Watching Seraphine step on the stage and leave, Chancellor of the Exchequer Bristol breathed a sigh of relief and said with a solemn face:

"She's only 14 years old, and she's unbelievably brilliant, as if she can see into our minds."

"Noxus dared to put her in charge of the affairs of the two countries, which is enough to prove her strength." Grantham said calmly.

Adair shifted her gaze to Rakshana and asked in a soft tone, "Lady Rakshana, if you look at Noxus' danger rating, what level should Seraphine be. ”

"Yes."

Laxana replied succinctly, much to everyone's surprise.

The strength of Laxana that day had already impressed everyone.

Could it be that Seraphine is better than Laxana?

"Danger doesn't mean strength, and with the Noxus Empire and Governor Trevary, she can perfectly show herself on the national stage." Tiana added from the side.

She didn't want to say anything about Seraphine's talents, otherwise the minds of the nobles would become more complicated.

At that time, it is difficult to say how many people will completely turn against Gonoxus.

The nobility of Demacia did not oppress the commoners in the open, but none of the nobles followed the equality of Demacia.

If Seraphine had secretly exposed these things, it would have been enough for them to be overthrown by civilians many times.

Thinking of this, Tiana couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency in her heart.

For the sake of Demacia, they did not have time for the smooth transition of power to complete.

......

On the day of the conversation between the two countries in the council hall, the Trifali Council of the Immortal Fortress had already issued a directive.

With the exception of a small number of garrison troops, Darius led the Northern Front and the Trifali Warbands through the plains of Demacia and through the northern mountains into Freljord.

It was also on that day that there were many more figures in the Trifali Council.

Except for the two presidents and vice-presidents and Sindra, the rest of the personnel were all present.

"That's the way it is, the Empire needs you to give your strength."

Svein sat in the vice-president's seat and looked around at the councillors below.

LeBlanc, Elise, Draven, Camille, Morgana... and two people who have just won their seats in parliament.

Victor, Oriana.

Orianna completed a masterpiece that was worthy of being called the greatest soul machine master of the world.

Victor is only a mechanical clone at this moment, and he himself has already completed the mechanical ascension.

Now he has an immortal core, and he is immortal.

"Freljord, that kind of poor place, you have to tie up Demacia and beat him."

Draven looked disgusted, and there was even schadenfreude in his eyes.

This emotion is naturally directed at his good big brother, Darius.

All the hard work was done for him, and he only had to be a good executioner.

"Councilor Draven, you have a mission." Svein spoke lightly.

"Ah, please!"

Delevingne couldn't wait to slap himself twice, if he didn't talk cheaply, maybe it wouldn't be his turn.

But when he heard Svein's term 'councillor', he also knew it was something he had to do.

"Take command of the army on the Northern Front for the time being, and Councilor Victor will assist you."

"Understood!" Dravin's face froze.

Before he became a executioner, he served in the Northern Front Army as Darius's lieutenant.

It's just that he and Darius don't obey anyone on the surface, and he stays in the Immortal Fortress.

Most of the elite were taken away by Darius, but if it was just defensive, it would not be difficult for him.

"I don't have a problem either." Victor replied.

It just so happened that the transformation of the human body on his side was in the final stage, so he took this opportunity to experiment.

"Councilor Camille, Councilor Elise."

Svein looked at the two councillors, Camille and Elise were only a little stronger than Draven, but they were very good at being agents and spies.

With a smile on their lips, they bowed slightly, waiting for Svein's order.

"Led by Councillor LeBlanc, you've infiltrated Freljord. She'll show you how to do it. ”

"Your will—" Camille and Camille said in unison.

Svein nodded slightly, and could feel LeBlanc behind him bowing to him, which was her assurance to him.

The Battle of Frelzhud was the final battle against Demacia.

With the help of the opportunity created by the Dreaddemon, Ruiz reappears in the Forbidden Forest.

And this time, LeBlanc's clone is hiding in the Forbidden Demon Forest, and with the help of some strange magic items, he has been able to track down the location where he hid the world's runes.

It is hundreds of meters underground in the eastern part of the Forbidden Demon Forest.

It was Ruiz's home turf, and at least two World Runes were stored.

LeBlanc will be in charge of luring Ruiz to Freljord, and then...

"Councillor Oriana."

"Please command." Orianna bowed slightly, her voice soft.

"Your work will accompany Darius to Freljord to fight."

They had always had high expectations for the union of Theon and the armor.

It is a weapon with infinite potential, but every time it grows, it must be accompanied by killing.

"I'm willing to go along." Orianna bowed slightly.

She is part of the Empire and the maker of Iron Armor, and she will not miss this feast.

What's more, she remembers her desire to travel the world.

Demacia, Freljord...

She was looking forward to...

"Councillor Morgana."

Svein looked at the smiling figure hidden in the shadows, its wings outstretched.

"Vice Council Speaker Svein, I will ensure the safety of the Immortal Citadel and Noxus." Morgana said softly.

During this time, she traveled all over Noxus and also made many suggestions and ideas for the change of the Immortal Fortress.

The Immortal Fortress has barely had the initial image of the Magic Capital to this day, and it is basically her efforts.

She will not allow her hard work to be trampled on.

Svein nodded slightly, and with Morgana on the side, he could rest assured that he could focus on Demacia and Freljord.

After a few more commands, he declared the council over.

It was also on this day that the entire Immortal Fortress and Noxus stepped up their operations.

All regions have advanced as a result of the Empire's actions, like countless dings and gears on a huge machine, and now it's time for the gears to turn!

When they heard that the elite of the Noxus northern front had retreated, two councillors had switched guards, and Darius had led a councillor and elite to kill Demacia, all the forces focused their attention.

Noxus is undoubtedly recognized by everyone as the number one power at the moment.

And Demacia is also a powerful country that has been fighting with Noxus for hundreds of years.

The situation is on the verge of eruption.

This situation was also quickly learned by Demacia.

"You're going to invade Demacia?"

Poppy catches up with Seraphine and looks at her with a wary expression.

These past few days have been the happiest days she has ever lived, and those little mages have joined her life, mingling with them every day, making Bobby feel unusually happy.

She even had the idea of handing over the hammer to the peerless hero Laxana, and then unload her burden and follow the group of little mages.

It's not her impulse, it's that Laxana, under her observation, does meet her criteria for looking at "heroes".

But now... The people of the entire Xiongdu panicked.

Two days after Salephine finished talking with Demacia's higher-ups, the news of Noxus' troop transfer reached Xiongdu.

"Why are we invading Demacia?" Seraphine shook her head amusedly, "We only deepened the trade between the two sides two days ago, how could we rashly choose to invade you." ”

"And what are you?" Bobby was a little confused.

No, Darius is leading the army to conduct a "friendly" military exercise.

Seraphine smiled slightly:

"At Demacia's invitation, we have joined Demacia in our army to conquer the evil Freljord tribe, Winterclaw."

"Winter's Claws!?"

Bobby's voice was raised, of course she had heard this tribe, and the establishment of the Guild in Demacia was already their enemy.

“oh！ Okay, good, it's better to destroy them all this time! ”

There was utter disgust on her face, and it was clear that she hated Winterclaw more than Noxus.

The border between Noxus and Demacia has only been a matter of the past two hundred years, and the relationship between Winterclaw and Demacia is even more long-term.

Demacia is located in the western plains of Valoran, while Noxus is located in the central desert of Valoran.

To the north of them, the snow-covered territory of Freljord is boundary.

Countless barbarian tribes have taken root there, brave and warlike, rough and arrogant, and no one is submissive.

Demacia is separated from Freljord by the mountains to the north, with cold ice to the north and spring Demacia to the south.

If the northern mountains are extremely difficult to cross, then the two places can be safe.

However, the terrain of the northern mountains is not precipitous, and there are many gentle passages, as well as a number of icy trails that lead to Demacia.

According to Demacia, Freljod has two of the most powerful tribes, one is Avarosa and the other is Winterclaw.

Alvarosa and Demacia were on good terms, and they traded with ships in normal times, exchanging supplies with each other.

However, Winterclaw is different, not only has a feud with Alvarossa, but has also harassed the border since the establishment of Demacia.

In the coldest climate of Freljord, the coldest of winter's coldest climates, the Claws of Winter would cross the northern mountains south and raid Demacia.

At that time, it was just after the autumn harvest, and it was the time when Demacia had the most grain.

Every time the Winterclaw raids, it causes great trouble to Demacia.

For Bobby, he hated the savagery of Winterclaw.

She was of true temperament, and when she heard that Noxus and Demacia had joined forces to fight against Winterclaw, she did not doubt him, and complained about Winterclaw like a bean.

In Poppy's heart, the days of contact with the Noxians are not short, and there is no longer a little bad feeling towards them.

The Gong >Gong

Although she also knew that the relationship between the two countries was not very good, but really speaking, the two sides did not hurt each other in substance.

The two countries fought in their respective buffer zones, where the principalities of the kingdoms were located.

It's just that they belong to Demacia or Noxus.

And the invasion of Noxus caused Demacia to be vigilant, fearing that one day the flames of war would burn into his own land.

The closest two countries came to the mainland was at the Gate of Sorrows, in the Shimmering Silver Mountains.

At that time, Poppy set off with a hammer when she heard this, and who knew that by the time she arrived at the ground, the battle would be over.

The Noxus general who attacked the Gate of Sorrow was a piece of shit, easily repulsed.

It was also at that moment that she entered the Shimmering Silver Mountains, and then headed east, where she met Seraphine.

"Bobby, since you hate them, do you want to join this war?" Seraphine smiled.

"It's... Not good. ”

Poppy's eyes were full of interest, but there was still some concern.

"You said that the army that Demacia participated in this time is the Light Shield Barrier and the Dreadnought Vanguard, I have heard of them, they are all disciplined troops, and they will not let me join."

She remembered her reason for joining Oren's army, the first time Poppy had seen such a disciplined team.

A team that abides by discipline and rules not only has a uniform formation, but also can burst out with much more strength than the skirmishers.

At that moment, she was fascinated by the army, believing it to be far superior to the yodelers' magic.

It was also because of her fanatical pursuit of discipline and rules that she joined Demacia.

Although she still has the naïve and troublesome nature of a yodeler, she is also a warrior who keeps her promise and upholds the rules of discipline!

That's why, even after hundreds of years, she's still looking for the hammer's owner.

Even in the past countless years, this is her Bobby's persistence!

"Of course, Demacia is very disciplined, especially their two elites. But you have another option. Seraphine said with a smile.

"Another option?" Poppy was curious.

Is it to let her go alone and clean up the claws of winter before the army arrives?

Thinking of this, she was a little excited in her heart.

This kind of handsome behavior is really heroic!

"You don't want to go alone, do you?" Seraphine looked at Bobby, who was dancing, with a strange expression.

"Huh? Isn't that the choice you're talking about? Bobbi scratched her head.

"Do you know how to cross the Northern Mountains?" Seraphine said helplessly.

How did a yodeler who could get lost in the Shimmering Silver Mountains cross the northern mountains, where the terrain and road conditions are more complicated.

"Seems so." Bobbi rubbed her head in embarrassment.

She actually wanted to say she knew.

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that I should listen to Seraphine's opinion.

The thing of getting lost is small, and if she arrives and the battle is over, this is the real sin.

"So, is there anything else that can be done?" Poppy looked at Seraphine expectantly.

As a hero... Oh no, guardian of the Hammer of Heroes, how could such a moment of heroism be missing.

Seraphine smiled at the corners of her mouth, pointed to herself, and said in Bobby's surprised gaze:

"Don't forget my identity and that of General Zhao Xin, I can arrange you into the Trifali Clan."

"Trifali Warband!"

Bobby's eyes widened, but her head shook like a rattle:

"No, absolutely not. I'm a native of Demacia..."

"Who said that the Trefali Warband only has Noxians, and there are quite a few Demacians in it." Seraphine persuaded, "Seth, Ella, for example. You've seen them, they're all former Demacians. ”

"No wonder they're so familiar with Demacia." Bobby muttered.

But she shook her head firmly:

"No, I'm from Demacia, and I won't join you!"

Sallephine understood that Poppy was still holding on to Demacia, so she changed her words and said:

"That's... What about mercenaries? ”

"What is a mercenary?" Bobbi said confusedly.

"This time we have made an agreement with Demacia, not only the two armies, but they will also send a group of veterans to serve as mercenaries in Noxus to assist us in the war...... "Seraphine began to explain.

This is the plan that Noxus and Demacia negotiated about merit points, and these people who become mercenaries can use Demacia to exchange mercenaries for things that only Noxus has, such as more powerful Hex weapons, such as magic teachings.

But these are obviously not so simple to get, and these people sent by Demacia need to fight on the front lines for Noxus in order to get a good reward that can be redeemed.

Although it was promised that the supreme leader of this army could not be arranged, it was necessary to arrange a person from the empire inside, which was also a tacit matter for both sides.

And in Seraphine's opinion, Bobby is actually the best choice.

She also knew that it was unlikely that Poppy would agree to join the Trifali Warband, but that this mercenary group, which was composed entirely of Demacians, would not be resisted by Poppy.

Seeing Bobby nod, Seraphine smiled brightly.

Poppy's strength is one of the best in Demacia.

Such talents, well... According to the teacher's words, he should have a fate with the empire! chaptere
