Lux's Farewell

247 [0244] Black crossing the sea, Beigang incident

In the end, Swain successfully reached a consensus with these secret emissaries who were hiding their heads and showing their tails.

After these guys agreed on a time and left Hedoram, Swain also quickly issued an assembly order.

After receiving the order, the veterans in Hedoram quickly assembled the whole team—because they were all elite soldiers who survived the Ionian War. Even though the organization was almost broken up, the grassroots officers were absolutely Not missing.

Relying on his former core team and adding a group of low-level officers, Swain quickly established a command system for the entire army. Based on these veterans, he formed a brand new army.

Unlike the Noxus army, which used wargroups as the main structure in the past, this army does not have its own "battlegroup self-camp", and the logistics supplies are also full-screen. Everyone brings their own dry food. This time when they came to Hedoram, it was completely Inspired by Swain's reputation, make a final desperate attempt.

The next day, outside the city of Hedoram, Swain conducted a troop count and military parade.

In front of all the soldiers, Swain delivered a speech on the theme of regaining glory.

"In the eyes of many people, we are all losers, cripples who have lost arms and legs, and scum who have barely survived in the war..."

"But each of us knows that the reason for the failure of the war is not that we are not brave and united enough. What really defeated us was not the yellow-haired girl who led a group of militiamen to fight back under desperate circumstances. What really defeated us were those who hid behind us. , The big man who took our spoils but is unwilling to support any of our supplies!"

"For us losers, the enemy is not in Presidium, but in the Immortal Bastion!"

"Although we have lost our bodies and our glory, it is not us who are really dying of illness, but Noxus, the once wise and mighty commander, has now become a timid old man under the erosion of time, And what we have to do is to set things right and rebuild Noxus!"

"As the beginning of everything, we want to take Piltover and occupy this city of progress, where there are enough golden hexes to support our recruitment, and there are hex body transformations that allow us to go to war again. It is our first step to set things right, and our first step to regain our glory."

"Now, we have made all the preparations. What we need to do next is to arrive at Piltover in silence like a moving mountain, and then crush everything that stands in our way—"

"Victory belongs to Noxus, everyone in Noxus!"

"..."

"..."

Swain's eloquence need not be questioned.

You know, in Ionia, when there was no food and grass inside, no reinforcements outside, and the expeditionary force was almost out of ammunition and food, he was still able to boost morale and lead the last army to launch a battle of Prestidian.

If Irelia's surprise attack hadn't directly seriously injured Swain and almost completely destroyed the headquarters, I'm afraid the outcome of the Battle of Presidian is still unknown!
And now those who are willing to follow Swain to Hedoram are all diehards. Therefore, after the military parade speech, when Swain issued the order to move forward, the Noxians present issued a He gave three neat cheers, and then fell silent like a mountain as Swain asked.

The three cheers just now seemed to be echoes echoing in the mountains, and quickly dissipated outside the city of Hedoram.

In the afternoon, several large ships finally came along the ocean current from the north.

And this army, silent as a mountain, turned into black flowing water and boarded these merchant ships bearing the banner of the Gu Nuojia family in an orderly manner.

According to Swain's request, a large amount of black coarse cloth had been prepared on the ship. The Noxus soldiers in black iron armor cut it with swords and made these black cloth into coats, which barely covered the clothes under their bodies. armor.

Then, these ships departed from the port of Hedoram, went down the ocean current, and finally arrived outside the North Harbor of Piltover in the evening.

........................

Lux and Karya knew nothing about all this.

Even though Kalya was faintly wary of the devil after seeing Tam, he never imagined that someone, with the help of the devil, was ready to swallow the elephant!
At this time, Lux and Sarah are at a welcome dinner—besides the formal talks, the two sides also need a less formal occasion to communicate about business and trade.

However, although this was a very high-level banquet, it was different from what people usually perceive as a banquet. The food and drinks in this banquet... were actually very ordinary.

It's not that the people of Zaun are stingy, but as the two largest food depressions in Runeterra, neither Zaun nor Bilgewater are very good at making these things.

For these two regimes that have not been born for a long time, no one has much background to show, and the basis of all cooperation comes from the future, so it is meaningless to make a bunch of bells and whistles in the details.

Therefore, Suo Ran called it a banquet, but its form was similar to that of a barbecue party—in the entire banquet, the only thing that could be called precious was the special Ionian spices that seasoned the barbecue.

Even the drinks are rum that sailors at sea often drink.

This form of banquet made everyone feel very comfortable, and quickly shortened the distance between the two parties. A group of bitter hahas quickly reached a subtle mutual agreement. After a few glasses of wine, they all began to blow their mouths without saying anything. leather.

Under such circumstances, Sarah also tried to drink a few more drinks with Lux, but Lux, who knew very well, simply asked Ino to block the drink for herself.

Ino, who has the blood of the Iceborn, is a real drinker who never gets drunk. After Raven was drunk, Sarah had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​giving Lacus some good looks, put down the wine glass, and shared with Lacus In an informal form, they discussed issues about the prices of the two parties' commodities and their own follow-up procurement needs.

Everything looks harmonious and beautiful.

Until a cry sounded, Wei rushed into the banquet venue in a hurry.

"An accident happened in Piltover!" Wei immediately found Fandre, who was on guard nearby, and then they came to Lux together, "A black-robed army arrived about two hours ago. Piltover's North Port Wharf... under the raid, almost the entire area on the north bank of the Piltover Canal has been captured!"

"See the flag?"

"There is no flag, but it is said that they got off the ship of the Gunojia family. Judging by the style of the armor, they look like Noxians!"

　The meaning of Karya's Little Classroom · Black Robe:
　　There are multiple charges at Sun Gate Port and Piltover Wharf. The goods need to be paid, the berthing and passage need to be paid, and the personnel must also pay when they arrive at the port.

　　Those families who hold shares in Sun Gate will hang the family flag on their ships, and the sailors will wear black robes when they enter the port, as a symbol, telling the port staff that "this is their own ship, and these people do not need to pay port taxes. ".

　　PS. Yesterday's addition is an extra event addition, it has nothing to do with the addition I owe, I will continue to add tomorrow, there are still twelve chapters left!
