Chapter 163 - 162

"Stay a few days to allow the soldiers to gather more intelligence."After careful consideration, Jarvan gave his answer."Should we disperse them?"General Laurent, despite his physical exhaustion, frowned slightly.This is an enemy country, Your Highness, aren't you afraid?"Send them out, we don't have much time. Laurent Old General, I'm entrusting the mission back home to you. Get well soon before you set off again."Jarvan gave solemn instructions and helped the old general toward the Lightshield Bulwark's encampment outside the city."Your Highness, rest assured, this intelligence will be delivered."Laurent suppressed certain thoughts and put on a serious expression.At this point, only he could shoulder this heavy responsibility."We didn't discuss the Winged Protector this time; those two weren't present," Jarvan added suddenly, remembering this."well."General Laurent shook his head and sighed in frustration. Faced with the visit of the prince of Demacia, there was only one Councilor present, which clearly showed that he did not take it very seriously.But it's about strength.After Jarvan left the Council Hall.Draven leaned back in his chair and said casually:"I just don't understand, why not just chop it up with an axe? Why make it so complicated?"Swain's gaze swept quickly across the documents in his hand. After signing them, he placed them together with a stack that had already been corrected. Then he took another volume from the mountain of documents.Hearing Draven's words, he didn't even look up, but simply said in a flat tone:" The only things Demacia is worth our attention are Petricite and Rune Steel; as for anything bigger, they can't offer that.""Just rob it! Why spend money to buy it if you can just rob it?" Draven said matter-of-factly." Demacia and Piltover are different. Councilor Camille, I mean no offense," Swain said calmly.Camille's lips curled slightly, her expression playful:" Grand General is right. A strong culture creates strong people, and a weak culture creates weak people. This is the law of the world."She looked up, her blue eyes filled with a complex expression."This is the choice made by all Piltover members, and with that choice comes the acceptance of destiny.""But Councilor Camille, like that prince just now, is willing to shoulder the nation's destiny, which is admirable," Elise said slowly in her captivating voice.Camille didn't speak, but simply gave an elegant smile.Draven looked annoyed, glanced around, then simply put his hands behind his back and said nonchalantly:"You guys have the final say, but can you please not involve me in these kinds of things in the future? Only call me if you need to fight!"Swain's gaze remained focused on the documents, his voice unusually steady:" Lightshield Bulwark will then go to Arena and treat them well.""Entertainment? I understand!" Draven smiled maliciously.It's just cutting people up, that's what he's good at." General Draven, killing is an art."Elise let out a chilling laugh, her sharp knuckles supporting her chin, her exquisitely beautiful face full of amusement."Killing someone is easy, just throw the axe, done!"Draven pursed his lips; he didn't like this roundabout spider.Although the Ezreal brothers said she was good, it was definitely because of her beauty, not because they understood her inner qualities.Draven has always been good at judging people; this woman is ruthless.If she weren't strong, how could I possibly lose to her?Elise's thin, red lips curled slightly as she offered another explanation:" The meaning of 'Grand General' is not as simple as it seems on the surface.""What do you mean?"Draven looked confused and glanced in Swain's direction.He considered himself extremely intelligent, but he still couldn't quite see through the schemers' ideas.In his view, this group of people were complicating a simple problem; they could have solved it by killing someone, but instead they had to go through all sorts of roundabout ways.Swain lifted his gaze from the documents, glanced at Draven, and his eyes held a warning:"I will provide you with a list, and I will tell you who should be killed and who should be released."" Grand General, is this really necessary?" Draven said dismissively. "I could take down Lightshield Bulwark all by myself.""Of course you can do it." Swain said noncommittally, "But Lightshield Bulwark has more than just the hundred people who came today, and among these hundred people, they have different families and stances.""So...?" Draven still didn't understand."Some of them swore allegiance to the Lightshield Family, while others pledged allegiance to Demacia," Swain continued." Isn't Lightshield just Demacia?" Draven was even more confused.The Lightshield Family is the royal family of Demacia, so doesn't that represent their will?" Darkwill!"Elise smiled and mentioned a name from the side.Not a single mistake, not a single song, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single 6-9 book, not a single bar, take a look!Upon hearing the name, Draven suddenly realized what was happening:"Hey, you should have said so earlier. It's just about taking down the Lightshield Family and making someone else take over, why make it sound so complicated?"Draven laughed heartily. Sure enough, it wasn't him who had a problem; it was these people who couldn't explain themselves.Jarvan III, Jarvan " The Lightshield, the Mianwei Family, and the other nobles each represent a certain ideology; we just need to muddy the waters," Swain said calmly.On the surface, the empire was keeping the war hidden from view.But in reality, what the empire seeks is something hidden deeper.Just as he had said before, all Demacia could offer them were rare items like Petricite. But they had already obtained these items through other means.Swain had previously discussed with Ryan that what Demacia was worth their attention for was not the Petricite, but the World Rune that might exist buried beneath the Anti-Magic Forest.According to Morgana, the Jarvan family reached a secret agreement with a blue-skinned mage.The other party will offer assistance when necessary, but the Lightshield Family and Demacia must swear an oath to protect something unknown.Even the Lightshield Family themselves don't know where that thing is or what it is. This is the information Black Rose obtained.But they are pretty sure that the person is Ryze, and that thing is very likely World Rune.For World Rune, any sacrifice is worthwhile. They must proceed cautiously, finding them before alerting Ryze.Before that, the Lightshield Family must not become a threat and must be eliminated first.At the top of the Noxus Black Gate, the crimson eyes of a Six-Eyed Raven were fully open, their terrifying gaze fixed on Jarvan and his companions as they were about to leave the city.Wow!Its jet-black wings flapped and spread, and it flew towards the Demacia base.Inside the Floating Fortress, Ryan, who had just returned to the mage tower, watched Crow take flight, a smile playing on his lips."The plan has begun; we should speed things up.""That soul was more stubborn than we thought; she seemed to trust the celestials more."Syndra floated over and stood beside him. Behind them, Kayle, with six jet-black wings, hovered in mid-air, her body emanating black mist, only her face remaining holy."Since she has made her choice, we shouldn't force her to do something against her will."The scroll of Meredith's Soul Fragment fell into Ryan's hands, but just as he was about to do something, a hand reached out and stopped him."You've already broken up once, so I'll do it this time."After Syndra finished speaking, the Soul Dividing Scroll floated up, and page after page was opened.At the same time, something seemed to be pulled out of Syndra's body and, under the guidance of the Soul Splitting Scroll, was injected into Kayle's body.In that instant, Kayle's entire body turned pitch black. Her eyes suddenly snapped open.Those were a pair of jet-black eyes, devoid of any of their former gold.
