Chapter 458: The Meaning of Balance
The news that Svein was going to visit Tubutai soon spread throughout Ionia under the Empire's well-intentioned propaganda.
On the other hand, the Equilibrium sect also responded.
Perhaps it was because the Kuzan region was the birthplace of the Equilibrium sect, or perhaps because of the dissatisfaction caused by Noxus' hard-line style.
The Equilibrium sect is no longer the same as before, but has an attitude.
"We'll see!"
Just a simple phrase and not a lot of flowery rhetoric.
But from these simple words, it also expresses the toughness of the Equilibrium sect.
This was almost impossible before.
Kuzan region, temporary station of the Balanced Sect.
Since the original headquarters of the Balance Sect was looted and bloodbathed, Shen took the remnants of the sect and formed the Balance Sect again in the Kuzan area.
Because of its long history, in just 10 years, the Equilibrium Sect has regained most of its former prosperity.
In the mountains and forests of clouds and birds, people are crowded.
"Irelia, Twilight Eyes has denied your request, please come back..."
In front of the plain mountain gate, Irelia was stopped.
Irelia thought about what had happened recently, a look of confusion and embarrassment on her face.
She didn't understand why the Equilibrium Sect had spoken out, but didn't want to see her...
But seeing the indifferent faces of the Balanced Sect members, she knew that she would not gain much from coming this time.
Irelia sighed and turned to leave off the distance.
After walking a few kilometers, she entered a wooded forest.
After she entered the forest, the entire forest seemed to come to life, and a large area of green energy gathered in front of Irelia, forming a woman's face in the sky:
"Irelia, Shen didn't come with you, and I don't have to keep my promise."
The woman's mouth was slightly open, and her voice was soothing and tender.
"Why... Why don't you want to join forces to fight Noxus! Irelia looked up, staring at the face.
"You, the Equilibrium Sect, Noxus, there is no difference in my eyes," the woman said.
"But as you said, as long as the Balanced Sects are willing to unite, you are willing to help us. Give me a few more days and I'll convince the Equilibrium sect! Irelia insisted.
"I owe the Balanced Sect once, I'll help them once, that's all. Other than that, your human affairs have nothing to do with me. The other party's voice was still soft, but the words revealed ruthlessness.
"I..."
Irelia wanted to say something more, but was interrupted again:
"Irelia, you still don't get it... No matter how many times you seek out the Sect of Equilibrium, they will not choose to unite with you. ”
"How could it be! The Sect of Equilibrium has turned hostile to Svein, and the best option now is for us to unite. Irelia said earnestly.
She felt that the other party was making excuses, and when she persuaded Shen, she would definitely be able to persuade the other party to make a move.
Hearing her words, the other party let out a chuckle:
"How could it not, I have witnessed the rise and fall of the Equilibrium Sect, and I know what equilibrium means. And the new Twilight Eye, Shen, is a person who adheres to balance. ”
"Balanced... In order to maintain the stability of Ionia, it is necessary to remove Noxus in order to conform to equilibrium. I don't know what he's insisting on, but a lot of the Balanced Sect wants to go out of the mountain, and I can feel it very clearly. ”
Irelia said seriously:
"Moreover, this time, because of the strong response of the Equilibrium Sect, public opinion in the Kuzan area has been aroused, and thousands of brothers and sisters want to rise up together and kill the visiting Svein!"
"Do you think Shen meant to lure Svein and kill him in the Kuzan region?"
The other party said without emotion:
"Once that happens, whether it's successful or not, the whole of Kuzan will have a war on all fronts of Noxus. At that point, the equilibrium here will be completely disrupted. ”
"But if you don't do that, why should you express it like that?"
Irelia's brows furrowed, the other party's words convinced her, she understood that the balanced sect that adhered to the balance knew more restraint, and it was impossible to do such a risky thing.
But if it's not for the sake of hard work, why put it that way.
Now that the public opinion of the entire Kuzan has been provoked, it is only one person who can point the knife at Noxus at any time.
"Balanced... It is balanced, and there is naturally progress and retreat..."
After hearing this, Irelia's eyes were full of understanding:
"What do you mean... The Equilibrium sect pinned its hopes on getting Svein to retreat on his own with a tough attitude? This is simply nonsense, they are Noxus! Irelia said seriously.
She knew Noxus better than any Ionian, and they had no idea of backing down.
"Nature doesn't rely only on the Equilibrium Sect, almost all of our nature spirits grew in Kuzan, and so do you, the hero who cut off Svein's arm. With such a lineup passed out, how could Svein come back? ”
"Aren't you afraid that he will bring a large army?"
Irelia felt only absurdity in her heart, she couldn't imagine that the Balance Sect and the spirit of nature in front of her could pin their hopes on the enemy's retreat.
"There is a mountain range between Kuzan and Navoli, and Noxus, which the province of Navoli cannot swallow whole, how can it cross the mountains to Kuzan?"
Good-looking romance
Hearing these nonchalant words, Irelia sighed:
"Is this really what you and the Equilibrium Sect share? When will we begin to pin the comfort of our homeland on the thoughts of the enemy? What a cowardly move..."
"It's not called cowardice... Child... It's called wisdom..."
There was a soft and gentle voice with comfort:
"Brute force can't solve everything, this time Svein and Noxus are just trying to test us, as long as we show strength, they will not and dare not attack us."
"Noxus is strong, but if you want to go to war with us in an all-out way, you must also be prepared for heavy casualties..."
Irelia pursed her mouth slightly as she heard this frustrated remark, not planning to say anything more.
In her eyes, this method can only be regarded as a little cleverness, not wisdom at all.
Even if Svein didn't dare to go to Tubudai alone this time, so what...
Next... Next time... What do they have to keep the peace?
As if to see through Irelia's thoughts, the Spirit of Nature smiled and comforted:
"Kid... Without worrying too much, I can feel that the ground beneath our feet is growing and fast. With her amplification, our strength will grow at a very fast rate. ”
"When we have the strength to defeat the other side, that's when we counterattack..."
"Really... I know. ”
Irelia pursed her lips and nodded, turning away without saying anything more.
The world is not only evolving, the gap between them and Noxus has been widened.
As they develop, they can only be eaten away at more.
Will they really have the courage to resist at that time?
She didn't know...
But she knew...
Now, it's time for her to do some preparations.
