Ionia, province of Navoli, village of Halleno.

The whistling wind is a little weird, and the gloomy weather makes people's mood depressing.

And on the dirt slope not far from this village, there are several figures standing.

"In the village... There are no more living people. ”

Irelia opened her eyes in pain, looking at the village in front of her with some reluctance.

The village of Halleno is located not far from the border mountains of Kuzan and Navoli, and Irelia, who received the news, rushed here as soon as possible and made peace with Svein.

Looking calmly at the dead village in front of him, Svein spoke:

"The village of Halleno is an Ionian who believes in the daughter of a dead spider."

Seeing Irelia nodding slightly, Svein continued:

"The Empire has received news that all the Grim Reapers in Runeterrae have chosen to betray. In Ionia, where beliefs are complex, there are the most creatures who believe in various kinds of death. ”

"Did the Daughter of the Dead Spider do it?" Irelia asked, intently.

During the questioning, Svein could sense that Irelia was suppressing her anger.

He raised his hand slightly and pointed to the gloomy sky above the village of Halleno:

"If you can see through the magic threads, you should be able to see the shapes woven from the power of the soul above."

"Cobwebs..."

With the blessing of the Ionian Spirit, Irelia can easily see the anomalies in the sky.

Countless threads of soul were wrapped in the sky, encircling the entire Harleno Village.

The current village of Halleno is like a delicate trap woven by spiders, waiting for the enemy to throw.

"This matter, please leave it to Ionia!" Irelia's tone was serious.

"You're no match for her."

Svein just said it simply and calmly.

Irelia had to die at the hands of him or Meredith, making her suspected of having to save the other party in the end, and Svein didn't want to bother that much.

"Your Excellency, you said you wanted to see an Ionian standing up." Irelia said.

Svein raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at her unexpectedly:

"Then let me see how strong your so-called standing up Ionia is."

"As you wish!"

Irelia breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Svein agree.

Of course, she knew that letting Svein intervene would make it easy to solve today's matter.

But she knew in her heart that as long as she accepted help once, there would be no turning back.

Every time the enemy invades, they need the help of Noxus, which will only make them dependent.

Irelia left only a resolute back, and left without looking back.

She now needs to gather her men to face the calamity that lies ahead.

Looking at Irelia's disappearing back, Svein's expression was still indifferent:

"Some things were meant from the beginning..."

After the whispering dissipated, Svein just stood still, staring silently at the dead village in the distance, motionless.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

Irelia quickly returned to the Kuzan region and issued a summoning order.

The people of the Tubutai tribe responded to Irelia's call without even thinking about it.

One is Irelia's prestige, and the other is that almost everyone in the upper echelons knows Irelia's identity.

In gratitude to Irelia for being stationed in Tubutai, they had no intention of refusing.

On the same day that the summoning order was issued, bad news reached Irelia's ears.

"Valmew, is he serious?"

Looking at the samurai standing calmly not far away, Irelia's face turned ugly.

Before she was summoned, she had thought that the Tubutai tribe would refuse because of the war.

But she never imagined that Valmao and the other companions, who had fought together countless times, would refuse her summons.

"Irelia, you're a good companion." The samurai sighed lightly.

"Good companion," Irelia looked complicated.

In the past, she would not have realized the meaning of this sentence.

But having traveled to many places in Noxus and gained a lot of experience, she can already understand the meaning of this good saying.

Just a good companion, not a good leader.

"Wu He, is this Valmao's idea, or is it your common idea?" Irelia asked.

Once upon a time, she gave everything to her former companions.

Try to be fair to everyone and try to protect everyone.

Even now, in her opinion, these are the things of a qualified leader.

Faced with Irelia's question, Takeshi Takewa bowed his head in silence.

Irelia laughed to herself, and although the other party didn't speak, the meaning was clear.

"Wu He, can I ask, how are you doing now?"

Finally unable to resist the curiosity in her heart, Irelia asked the question she wanted to know the most.

"We're fine."

Wu He paused, and said with light in his eyes:

"Lord Valmao led us to integrate the Yuanlin Province, we have our own land, and the Lord also asked us to move our families over so that everyone and their families can be reunited!"

"Under the leadership of Lord Valmao, the Yuanlin Province is completely different from what it used to be. Irelia, if you're free, I wish you could check it out. ”

Hearing this, Irelia suddenly understood, and understood what she was missing.

The courage to be a leader...

It was what she lacked the most, and it happened to be something Valmaux had.

Irelia smiled wryly, a hint of relief in her eyes.

She had only thought about constantly resisting the invasion of Noxus, but she had never thought about what her companions wanted.

Those who carried the blood with her were either already dead on the battlefield. Or as time passes, the blood in my heart has long since dissipated.

In this case, all need a purpose for fighting.

Not to mention that Ionia is getting more and more chaotic, Vastaya and Ionians, Ionians and Ionians, Ionians and Noxians...

Irelia also remembered at this moment that at the end of the fight against the Black Mist, many people proposed to her to occupy the entire Yuanlin Province and slowly develop in the fight against Noxus.

The province of Yuanlin is located in the southernmost part of Ionia, where the temple of Pallas, where Yasuo's betrayal took place.

But in the end, Irelia turned down the offers without thinking.

In her opinion, it was only by fighting Noxus head-on that what they were doing made sense.

And it turns out that this is just what she thinks it means.

Irelia sighed, restrained her inner emotions, and finally couldn't help but ask again:

"Halleno Village is invaded by foreign enemies, are you really unwilling to make a move?"

"I'm sorry..."

Wu He subconsciously put aside his eyes, and said with a touch of guilt in his eyes:

"If it were a different time, I would definitely go. But now that we have just occupied the Yuanlin Province, we can't get out of it in case the elders who originally occupied it counterattack. ”

In fact, they're not really that out of staff.

The entire province of Yuanlin has been taken over by Valmeu, and it is currently well governed.

The rejection of Irelia was just a special confession from Valmao when he asked him to come.

Since it has been decided to break it, it is better to break it thoroughly.

This is not only Valmao's order, but also everyone's thoughts.

Perhaps, they still feel guilty about Irelia in their hearts, and they still dare not see her again...

In the face of Wu He's insistent refusal, Irelia seemed to let go of something, and a smile appeared on her face:

"It's okay, I'll leave the village of Harleno to me. Wu He, I wish you and Valmao a better life in Yuanlin Province! ”

In the end, Irelia only sent a blessing and personally sent Wuhe out of the Tubutai tribe.

It was this day that she understood what she was missing.

But alas, she didn't have time to look back.

Now she has some things to do!
