Chapter 269: The Empire's Scheme, Disputes Will Arise
After the feast, Seraphine and the others returned to the residence arranged by Sarah.
The Aerospace Battleship was manned by Fedtic, commanded by Lady Sindra, and Seraphine was not at all worried about something going wrong there.
As for their safety...
Seraphine watched as Bobbi sent a few of the joddlers away, then looked back at Grad.
Her own teacher is her greatest guarantee.
What's more, as she breaks through to the hero level, she is even more sensitive to the voices of those souls who want to endanger herself, and none of the people on the bounty list she saw today can shield her abilities.
"Teacher, I shouldn't have done anything wrong, right?"
Seraphine looked at Grad with a smile and even blinked twice.
"It's your choice, you're the one in charge of this operation. Whether it's force or leverage, I don't care about the result. Greed said unconcernedly.
"It's so sad, and I'm counting on the teacher's compliment." Seraphine looked regretful.
Having said that, she was slightly relieved in her heart.
Her own teacher is one of the strongest people in the Runeterras, and her pressure is also extremely great.
If she can't even handle a Billgewater, then she'll be Ryan's apprentice.
"Teacher, I want to use some of the productivity of Zaan and Piltover to redress the pirates of Bilgewater, their wooden sailboats, it's really not good!" Seraphine said seriously.
This matter does not need her teacher to take action, and with her own connections, she can also handle the twin cities.
When she mentioned this matter, she just talked to the teacher first, so as not to rob an important share of the empire.
"What do you want from them?" Greid asked noncommittally.
Hearing this acquiescence, Seraphine showed a hint of joy on her face, and said without hesitation:
"We don't need anything, the whole of Bilgewater is ours!"
As if afraid that the teacher would not understand, Seraphine continued:
"I've shown our absolute strength before, and they're all very scared of us. We took the initiative to propose something to exchange, but it fell into place. Without saying anything, we throw out the idea we want to put it up, and they will naturally offer everything they have. ”
"Every Hex ship from Zaun is more harmless than those wooden sailing ships. These pirates don't know how to make new shells, and they're only going to rely more on us. ”
"So, I don't think we need to take the initiative to mention any quid pro quo."
Grad nodded slightly, agreeing: "Good aura, it seems that Demacia is not in vain." ”
Seraphine grinned, waved her fist, and assured with vitality: "Teacher, you can rest assured." I'm ready, Black Mist, I'm done! ”
"I'll see."
The Empire is in full swing to complete the magical leap, and if Seraphine can handle Foyego, it deserves a place to make the leap.
Even Seraphine really failed... It would have been an experience, but it would have been a mere Bilgewater.
......
Empire, Immortal Fortress.
Boom!
In the desert area to the west of the Immortal Fortress, a loud bang erupted.
On the desert, a huge crater appeared.
Around the huge pit, several figures were suspended in the air, staring at the tall figure of the crow with its wings spread in the center of the pit.
"According to the division of the council's crown, the overall strength is also considered medium among the demigods." Morgana gave her rating.
Demigods, only half a step away from true gods, are also the weakest beings who can destroy the heavens and the earth.
Kyle's strength is a low-level demigod in the division of Noxus, and Svein and Darius, who are at the limit of the grandmaster, can fight him for a short time.
Of course, if Kyle had used all his strength, Svein and Darius would have died in battle.
On top of this, there are mid-level demigods represented by Sindra and Ruiz, who have the combat power to easily destroy the country.
Before the battle with Kyle, Sindra was only barely a demigod, but with his in-depth understanding of rune magic and his own understanding of star spirits and demonic powers, he has steadily surpassed Kyle.
Morgana looked at the woman surrounded by three dark orbs with fear, and the aura emanating from the other party's body was already stronger than her own in full strength.
The current Darius is also in this strength, but his strength lies in his physique and endurance, and his destructive power is not as strong as Sindra and her in comparison. And Svein, who was in the middle of the pit, now has this kind of strength after gaining a leap.
Just the day before, the Reich announced Svein's exploits.
In terms of credit, Svein is even much higher than Darius. The military exploits are even more prominent, and there are countless outstanding performances at the political level.
Now the empire has such a grand situation, which is inseparable from Svein's hard work day and night.
Judging from the two current cases of Leapers, they are both at the strength of mid-level demigods.
And above that, there are the so-called high-ranking demigods who boast of themselves under the crown of the council. It has the ability to easily interfere with the laws of the surrounding hundreds of kilometers, and if no one is to stop it, it is not difficult to completely change a continent.
Morgana didn't think that Ryan was still at this level, and with three world runes, Ryan's strength would definitely be able to defeat Avinia, that is, those demigods whose strength was almost equal to that of the true gods.
A true god, in Ryan's definition, is a being who can dominate the plane or master a certain law completely.
Mord Caesar, the assessment of its strength by the Trifali Council is the true god level.
"The jump is sure that there are no side effects, and it's not a one-time energy boost."
Ryan nodded to Svein as he flew from the pit, throwing out the conclusion of the recent test.
It's been a while since the initial Darius magic jump, and Darius is still in a stable state, harvesting void creatures on the battlefield of Acacia.
And for now, Svein doesn't have any anomalies.
Sindra on the side lightly added: "The magic leap is closer to the improvement of the essence of the body, which can be regarded as raising the upper limit, but the improvement in the future will not be too fast, and a new path needs to be explored." ”
"It's a new path, and no one knows where to go. But..."
Ryan raised an eyebrow at Svein.
Svein said in an indifferent tone, "If the Empire needs it, he should have such a path to the true god. ”
If the empire needs it, he will do it. If the empire doesn't need it, even he should be swept into the garbage.
His philosophy has always been so pure.
If the Empire needed his help now, he could cross half the continent to the Isle of Shadows in a single day, and take Foyego's head in a fraction of the time.
It's just that in the current situation, he doesn't need to do it.
"How's the Eastern Front?" Ryan asked suddenly.
"Ionia? We have recently eased our conflict with them quite a bit. Svein's eyes narrowed slightly.
If you have just obtained the power of a demigod, if you don't have the slightest intention of seeking revenge on Ionia, you are deceiving yourself.
But now the center of gravity of the empire is not in the east, so he can bear it.
Someday, they will go there to regain their lost glory.
"Kalmar has confirmed that it has been corroded, and according to our calculations, the mission of Atrius and Kalmar should spread the black mist to Ionia." Ryan's tone was firm.
The Isle of Shadows seems to be in charge of Foyego, and now the black fog that pounces on Bilgewater is also huge.
If it's just Foyego's wish, then his target is definitely Isolde.
But if you count Maude Caesar, who is behind the scenes, the situation is much more complicated.
In the past, Fuguang Island could not tolerate the arrival of a true god-level existence.
"Are you sure it's Ionia?" Svein asked calmly.
"If I were Mordecaesar and wanted to come to the Land of Runeterra, Ionia would be the only option." Ryan said seriously.
The first condition for the coming of the true God is that there must be abundant energy there.
There are only three places in the Land of Runeterras that meet such conditions from ancient times to the present.
Ionia, the land of the first born, Freljord, the land of the North Pole, the Solar Disc of Gushurima.
Now the solar disc has been destroyed, and there are only two left.
Freljord has at least 4 top-level demigods, and the strongest one is not even weaker than the true god, so naturally it will not be the first choice.
Ionia, which is much weaker than others, will naturally become Mordecaesar's next target.
Svein nodded calmly, and said in a natural voice, "Do you need me to help them?" ”
If the empire needs it, even if it lets go of the hatred it once had, what does it matter.
"No, push them." The corners of Ryan's mouth curled slightly, "How about reshaping the glory of the Vastayas, how about this slogan?" ”
The glory of the Vastayas in the Land of the First Born is gone, and the existence of these half-beasts and half-humans is slowly forgotten by the Ionians, who think they are intelligent beasts, forgetting that they were once part of the human race.
"Liberate Ionia, but don't go overboard... Nice idea! Svein nodded in agreement.
Not a big invasion, but just a small war under the banner.
They've done this more than once or twice.
It's just that most of the time, the Noxians are used to expanding a small war into a full-scale invasion.
If the Lord is replaced by Darius, the end result will inevitably be death.
Ryan's idea of making him the main general, he can understand, too.
On the one hand, it is to let him let go of some of the burdens he once had, and on the other hand, it is to let him control the situation of the battle so that it will not get out of control.
"High in the Sky"
Now is a great opportunity, the empire is currently in a high-speed development phase, and most things are on the right track.
In terms of government affairs, he has fewer and fewer things to deal with, and Morgana is basically in charge of people's livelihood. At this point, it's time for him to go there.
If he didn't go, Ryan and Sindra wouldn't give him a chance. When the time comes, if you really want to start targeting Ionia in an all-round way, it will be the Ryan and the others who are solely responsible.
"Mordecaesar, are we just going to let it go?" Morgana raised her doubts.
When facing a stronger enemy, the weaker ones should form an alliance, which is normal.
And now they are taking advantage of the situation to find trouble with the weaker Ionia, which makes her a little incomprehensible.
Svein replied unhurriedly:
"Star Spirit!"
"Star Spirit?" Morgana whispered, "Does it have anything to do with them?" ”
Ryan added, "If you were an astral spirit, and we invaded Ionia at this time, what would you choose?" ”
Morgana pouted slightly, she... It should be half a real star spirit...
She didn't think about it for long, and her face showed a sudden expression:
"There's no way the Star Spirit would allow Mordekaiser to get his hands on the Runeterra."
Ryan nodded slightly, and said unhurriedly:
"Although I don't know what the most powerful power the Star Spirit has, the Star Spirit definitely controls some kind of true god-level power. Sealing the Void Rift of Acacia, the Sun Disc of Gushurima, should be His power. ”
"Another true god." Morgana rubbed her temples with a headache, "So when it comes to a special situation, the Star Spirit will use Atridus to stop Mordekaisa." But in case... Did the Star Spirit mess up? ”
It's no secret that throughout the entire history of Runeterra Sites, there have been few things that the Star Spirit hasn't messed up with.
Whether it's those star spirits of the Giant God Peak, or her mother who executes justice.
Let's take it personally, the star spirit wants to do everything, but he hasn't done anything well.
"Their true goal will eventually fall into the hands of the Empire." Svein's voice was steady, as if he were stating a fact.
He hadn't communicated with Ryan, but his years of working together had made him aware of Ryan's character.
Like him, Ryan has always been the one who takes all the instability into his own hands.
If it's just to add to Ionia's blockage, it's not worth his own visit now.
Facing Morgana's sneer, Ryan smiled and said:
"Ah, even in the newborn land of Ionia, there are only one or two places that are eligible. I can't trust Ionia, and the Empire will take it to make me feel at ease. ”
Neither he nor Svein pinned their hopes on Ionia.
Whether they hold on or are swallowed by the black mist, it will not affect the final outcome.
With the empire in the day, Mordecaesar doesn't want to come to the land of Runeteres unharmed and relaxed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Morgana stared deeply at the two of them and bowed slightly.
Syndra, on the other hand, has not spoken out, and has not even paid attention to this matter for a long time.
She just silently held a book in her hand, floating behind Ryan, as if she didn't care about anything other than magic.
Svein nodded slightly at Ryan, and then turned into a crow and dissipated in place.
Leaving the Immortal Fortress, he will still let the crows stay in the Empire. Even if it were possible, he would handle the affairs of the empire through the crows.
Unlike the man in power who is eager to leave affairs to his subordinates, unless he proves that he is inferior in some way, he must do everything about the empire himself.
If it weren't for the fact that he really didn't have as much idea as Morgana did for the construction of the empire, every brick and wood of the new construction of this immortal fortress would have to be reviewed by him personally.
The wings of the crow will forever shelter Noxus.
No matter how the world changes...
Noxus, be forever!
