Demacia Xiongdu, Debang Palace.

Gavin III put down the diplomatic letter in his hand with an ugly face, and looked at the Noxian envoy under the throne who dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and the king who bowed his head gave his staff a look with a calm face, and the staff said with a forced smile.

"Your Majesty still needs to discuss with the ministers of the kingdom before giving an answer, otherwise the envoy will rest first, and when the result is there, we will naturally invite the envoy to the banquet. Give an answer, how? ”

It seems that he knows that the letter he sent is equivalent to stepping on the face of a country, and in the face of the Noxian envoy who may change his face at any time and cause him to kill, he has no domineering attitude, but instead comforts in a deep voice.

"His Majesty Leicester told me before my mission that I had to convey what I had to say to His Majesty Gavin in life or death, and I wonder if I could give me some time in the next day? When I finish speaking, whether I kill or chop, I will live up to His Majesty Lester's request. ”

Jiawen III said coldly.

"Say, I also want to know what other instructions the Divine Emperor, who has always been domineering, has for me, the little king of the country of projectiles."

He didn't care about Jiawen III's ridicule, and the envoy said lightly.

"His Majesty Leicester said in his own mouth that the two countries of Demacia and Noxus have great roots, and since ancient times, Germany and Noxus have been good-neighborly and friendly, even if there are some minor frictions, the two sides have always been restrained, the two countries are not enemies, and there is no need to be enemies, and they can become the closest allies in the future,

His Majesty Leicester meant that if His Majesty Givens agreed to the conditions in the letter, His Majesty Leicester would be willing to marry Demacia.

When the two countries marry, Demacia will become a state within a kingdom on the continent of Valoran, enjoying absolute autonomy in the territory of the current Debang (west of Greentooth-Eternity, south of the Urus Mountains, and north of the Shining Silver Mountains, and the dominance of the Shield family will be recognized by the Holy Emperor. ”

Hearing this, Jiawen III, who had a cold face, couldn't help but breathe sluggishly, and was faintly moved.

Speaking of which, the most recorded family biography of the Shield Family is not the matter of the Shield Family, but how much Demacia suffered humiliation from the Noxian Empire, as well as the expectations for future generations - hoping that the descendants of the Shield Family can stand up and bring down the Noxian Empire, which can be regarded as a bad breath.

From nine hundred years ago to today, the most sorrowful thing for the Light Shield family is the increasingly powerful neighbor in the east.

This neighbor has never been at peace for a hundred years, from the time of the founding of the state, to the present day, and has been either at war or on the way to war.

Coupled with the fact that there are many talents, and there is also an immortal lord of the Jade Lord, now the Noxian Empire is already the out-and-out overlord of the Valoran Continent, and even Ionia is being eroded by the Empire, and sooner or later it will become the back garden of the Empire,

For a long time, Jiawen III's fathers were most worried that the imperial power of the Light Shield family would end in their own hands, but if it was really as the imperial envoy said, the Holy Emperor was willing to recognize Demacia's status and ensure the rule of the Light Shield family for generations...... In that case, Jiawen III can be regarded as fulfilling the wish of his father,

There is no need to fight, there is no need to worry that you will lose, and once you sign an alliance with the size of a holy emperor, you will never easily tear up the treaty and attack Demacia at that time.

Now that the Noxian Empire is too strong, suppressing the entire Valoran Continent like a god, any small means will not work, if you look at it this way, it is better to choose to submit and marry a few women.

As if he saw that Jiawen III had been moved, there was a smile on the envoy's face.

"I think His Majesty Gavin should also know that the Empire is invincible and unstoppable, and His Majesty Leicester will lead the Empire to dominate the entire Runeterras sooner or later, which is a thing for all to see,

In the future, the Duchy of Valoran or the Kingdom of Norsland will become a part of Noxus, ruled directly by the Holy Emperor, and they will not even have the opportunity to marry His Majesty Lester, only Demacia has such privileges and qualifications,

With his in-laws, Deno is a family, but His Majesty Lester said that the result he wants is to drink with His Majesty Gawen, not to meet with swords,

In this way, His Majesty Leicester's words have been transferred, and the stakes have been explained, and how to choose, His Majesty Garvin must have his own decision. ”

The messenger saluted, and said rather cruel words with an indifferent face.

"If there is no answer after three days, I will drink poison and pay for my life, and then the door of peace between Germany and Norway will be closed permanently, and I hope His Majesty Jiawen will know about the great relationship."

The corners of Jiawen III's mouth twitched, damn this group of barbarian envoys has always been so arrogant and domineering, but they can always grasp Demacia's weakness, making people feel that they can't live if they don't agree to the other party's conditions.

Damn, why can't Demacia, who has been angry all day, be as strong as Noxus?

He wished to give this messenger to death now, but Gavin III had a smile on his face and looked at the commander of the fearless vanguard.

“…… Tiana, it's up to you to keep the messenger safe...... Do you understand? ”

The young blonde woman named Tiana saluted and pressed her hand on the hilt of the Mithril sword with an equally impressive momentum.

"If the messenger is hurt in the slightest, Tiana is willing to come and see him."

When Tiana led the envoy out of the palace and disbanded the court council, Gavin III, who had disbanded the court council, came to the back garden and summoned a maid to massage her temples with some headaches.

"Trouble, the other conditions are fine, but I am eyeing the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest, which is the foundation of our country, and the Noxians don't take Demacia in their eyes at all...... But the Noxian Empire is so powerful, hateful! Debang was repeatedly humiliated. ”

"Your Majesty, do you think there is a possibility......

The staff on the side lowered their voices,

"There are indeed some treasures in the Forbidden Stone Forest that we don't know, and the Noxians want to take treasures from the Forbidden Stone Forest in order to destroy the foundation of our country.

When the time comes, without the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest as a supplement, our country's Forbidden Demon Stone will only be used less and less, and then evil magic will invade this land...... How can the warriors of the kingdom fight against the evil magic of the outside world?

At that time, the fate of Demacia will really be in the hands of the Noxians, and in my opinion, the words of the barbarians should not be trusted. ”

Nodding in agreement, Gavin III didn't know that if he agreed to the Noxians' request, the words of the staff could be fulfilled at any time.

No matter how bad Demacia is, he can suppress the magic of Noxus with the Forbidden Stone Building, and with the strength of the Mithril weapon, Demacia is not without the power to fight,

If the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest is destroyed, it won't be long before Demacia will be eroded by magic, and Demacia will have nothing to rely on at all.

Agreeing to the Noxians' terms is tantamount to giving away your hole cards and putting your head under the guillotine.

"But if you don't agree, Noxus will inevitably be overwhelmed by a large army, and Noxus will quickly make friends with the Freeljords, and when the time comes, both sides will attack at the same time, and Demacia will definitely be defeated...... Middleton, I ask you, are we sure of victory? ”

Garvin III stared at the staff member named Middleton without blinking, and Middleton suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and was speechless.

Just kidding, if he had known Demacia's way to defeat Noxus, he would have gone to be a great general a long time ago, and wouldn't it be better to be a slave in the manor with three wives and four concubines than to be a grandson in front of the emperor?

"Ugh."

Receiving an unexpectedly disappointed answer, Gavin III waved his hand, and Middleton retreated as if in amnesty.

In the afternoon of the same day, Gavin III convened a court council to make the demands and promises of the Noxians public, allowing the ministers to express their opinions.

Only now did the noble ministers know why His Majesty the Emperor had such a bad face after reading the letter during the morning meeting.

Letting the Noxians go to the Forbidden Stone Forest is no less than giving their wives to others.

"Your Majesty must not hand over the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest to Noxus, this must be a conspiracy of the Noxians! They are afraid of Demacia's Forbidden Magic Stone, so they want to use a conspiracy to destroy the origin of the Forbidden Magic Stone, and then Demacia will really have no way to compete with Noxus! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! As long as we unite the Kingdom of Noxian and the Duchy of Valoran, when the Noxians' troops are dragged by us on the defense line of Greentooth Peak-Eternal Peak, the two countries can attack from behind the Noxians and let the Noxians suffer from the enemy.

At that time, the army of Noxus will be defeated, and the danger of Demacia will be solved! ”

"Your Majesty, I am willing to be the vanguard! Take Leicester's Child's head! ”

Gavin III was perched high on the throne, holding his chin in his hand and his face gloomy.

For some reason, the heroic words that I like to hear the most on weekdays now sound extremely unpleasant - these ministers say good things, if Noxus is really so easy to deal with, how can they still need to behave?

"It's ridiculous! Irrational belittling of the enemy! I think you're trying to wipe out Demacia! I want the people of Demacia to die a senseless death! ”

Gavin III's eyes lit up, his gaze fixed on the speaker's face, and to his surprise, it was Sebastian Laurent, one of the representatives of the Eagle Brand, who said the compromise.

"Sammy, I wonder what you think? Why don't you tell us about it? ”

The emperor spoke, the ministers were silenced, and Sebastian Laurent stepped out and stood on the ground, curtittsied.

"Your Majesty, how powerful the Noxian Empire is today is obvious to all, if the Holy Emperor Lester dies, it will be enough, and the plan you have said may be successful.

But everyone here, who has the ability to kill the Holy Emperor of the Noxian Empire? If there is an adult who is willing to stand up and kill the emperor of Noxus, the Laurent family is willing to be a vassal for generations, just to praise the supreme merit of the lord! ”

As soon as the words came out, the ministers naturally couldn't let out a fart.

Just kidding, when the Holy Emperor bullied the kings of Demacia, their ancestors were not yet born, and who in this world can say that he can deal with that old monster except the gods?

It's nice not to be bullied, right? If Noxus hadn't sent an emissary, Demacia would still be able to continue singing and dancing, and sending an emissary would still be a madman who laughed and threatened people at every turn, and committed suicide by taking poison without replying, who would be willing to fight with those barbarians who are not afraid of death? Isn't it fragrant to be the owner of the Emperor's Manor in Demacia?

"This is the case, the Holy Emperor is invincible, and if there is no way to deal with the Holy Emperor, Noxus will only become stronger and stronger, and will not become a scattered sand,

In that case, why don't we seriously consider the Noxian deal?

Your Majesty, if I heard me correctly, in the secret letter, the Holy Emperor said 'hand over the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest', right? ”

Gavin III nodded.

"Not bad."

"Since it is 'handing over the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest', Your Majesty, maybe this matter is still to be discussed, maybe what the Noxians want is not to destroy the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest, and the conditions of the Noxians may have hidden secrets."

With a faint smile, Sebastian Laurent said in a deep voice.

"The minister is willing to send an envoy to Noxus to buy more time for His Majesty, if an agreement can be reached, it will be fine, even if an agreement cannot be reached, Your Majesty can prepare for war as soon as possible."

Gavin III looked at the other ministers with their heads bowed.

"Do you Aiqing have any other good ideas?"

Naturally, there are no good ideas, and it is better to have people from the Laurent family willing to take the lead now.

"In that case, Sebastian Minister, you will be in charge of negotiating with the Noxian emissary and sending the Emerald Leader...... In this case, the security of this mission will be the responsibility of Tiana Crownguard. ”

"Yes!"

That night, Sebastian called his wife Lucia and youngest daughter Fiona into the study, and even the most trusted family guards were not allowed to enter.

"Lucia, we are finally about to fulfill our ancestors' long-cherished wishes, and the Laurent family has been waiting for this day for hundreds of years! Lord Leicester is finally going to attack Demacia! ”

"Dad, you, you're not going to be crazy, are you? Are you a spy planted in the homeland by the Noxian Empire? ”

Fiona, a fifteen-year-old girl, looked at her crazy father with some concern, and for a moment did not know whether to take her mother and flee here and report her father to the others.

Who knows, Lucia also looked happy, and gently took Fiona's little hand and said softly.

"Fiona, you don't know the origin of the family, in fact, the blood of the Laurent family has always flowed with the blood of Noxus, a long, long time ago, our ancestors were still a big man in the Noxian Emerald Domain, as early as a hundred years ago, the current Holy Emperor Lester His Majesty began to lay out in Demacia."

As the woman spoke, Sebastian took out an ancient scroll from the locked sealed treasure chest,

Sebastian slowly unfolded the scroll that looked like a treasure, Fiona looked at it, but on the scroll was a portrait of a handsome person who couldn't tell the gender, and her gaze moved down, and Fiona exclaimed when she saw her name.

"It's the Gnosles Ancestor!"

Sebastian smiled with a slight reined in his joy.

"Yes, it is the ancestor of the Gnosles, the ancestor of the Nosles is the origin of the Noxus Night Blade, the master assassin, the personal guard trained by His Majesty Lester himself, and the peerless beauty man,

Fiona, your appearance is inherited from the Gnosles Ancestors, when the Gnosles Ancestors and Nervia Ancestors were combined to give birth to blood in Demacia, in order to return to the Empire one day in the future and continue to serve His Majesty Leicester! ”
