Lux's Farewell

705 [0695] Lacus making a nest
Take down his stupid brother, which can almost declare Hexiongdu's complete tearing of face.

However, Lux, who had made all the preparations, was now extremely calm in her heart, without the slightest disturbance.

Even compared to falling out with the royal family, the bad relationship with her brother will give her a moment of rare depression, that's all.

Seeing that Galen was taken away, Lux's next step was to go to Mithral City.

Taking advantage of the delay in the news transmission, Lux had to seize the opportunity to have a talk with her parents.

If it goes well, I can hold two of the three towns in the north.

If it doesn't go well, I can hold two of the three towns in the north.

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

Pete and Augtha both looked surprised when Lux came to Miriam.

Since Jarvan IV concentrated the power of the nobles and the noble council was reorganized under his instructions, Pete and Augatha have entered a semi-retired state.

On the one hand, this is because Galen has actually taken over the banner of the next generation of the Crown Guard family, and on the other hand, it is also because Pete's body is gradually getting worse as he grows older, and the trauma of past battles will be reborn every day. Before the rain was about to come, he felt pain and itchiness in his bones.

Therefore, after some discussions, the husband and wife chose to leave Xiongdu and return to Miyin City in the seventh year of Fossbury's calendar.

It was to recuperate at home, and to take care of the family affairs for Galen.

Although Mithril City is not far from Fossbarrow, unless Pete and Augsa come here on their own initiative, Lux can only spare a few days to reunite with her parents every year during the winter and New Year. Upper Galen is also based in Xiongdu, which makes Pete and Augtha look like two empty nesters.

Of course, considering their identities and status, as well as their wits and courage with the crown guards of Mithral City, they cannot be regarded as real empty-nesters.

"Dear Lacus, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came to Mi Silver City!" Augsa, whose temples had already turned gray, opened her arms and embraced Lacus, "But you will choose the time, your brother just sent me A letter, saying that he will come to Secret Silver City in a few days, if you stay here for a few more days, our family can still get together..."

Like most old people, Augatha hopes to see the next generation. Taking this opportunity, she plans to talk to Galen and Lux, especially Galen. He will be 35 years old this year, even in Among the nobles of Demacia, they can be regarded as older leftover men. If this continues, the patriarch of the Crown Guard family may fall into the hands of those side branches.

And those offshoots of the Crownguards...

I can only say that I understand everything.

"I've seen my brother before." Speaking of this topic, Lux's expression was somewhat complicated, "He came to the North this time mainly for Fossbarrow."

"Ah?" Augatha looked a little surprised, "Then he didn't come with you?"

"No." Lux shook her head lightly, "He is on behalf of His Majesty, persuading me to give up the Northwalker."

Augatha blinked.

Pete, who had been silent by the side, frowned slightly and looked at his daughter with a calm expression.

"How old is Galen, why is he still like this?" Speaking of this topic, Pete's tone was somewhat depressed, "Stay loyal to the king—the emperor, and shoulder the burden of the crown guard family. When he comes, I will You need to have a good talk with him."

"He can't make it through for the time being." Lux patted his mother's back lightly, and broke himself out of her warm embrace, "Our conversation in Forsbarrow fell apart."

At this moment, Pete and Augatha have wonderful expressions.

Although Lux just said lightly, "The conversation has collapsed", judging from the situation of Lux coming alone, the truth may not be as simple as it seems.

"I don't intend to accept His Majesty's deal, and I don't intend to give up the northern border walker." Now that the words have been spoken, Lacus finished in one breath, "The current Demacia is sick and has embarked on the old road of Noxus , I must stop this."

Pete and Augatha looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and disbelief.

What's wrong with my daughter?
Protecting the honor of the nobility, to the point where you want to be an enemy of the royal family?
Not so much, right?

Why is this so?
Looking at each other, the old couple planned to persuade Lax - not only because of her relationship with her brother, but also because of her attitude.

Although His Majesty did have the obvious intention to seize power in recent years, and the private armies held by most of the nobles in the country have also been recovered, but to be honest, isn't Demacia still thriving now?
Not long ago, I just won a big victory in Nashilami, and I have a new commercial port in Shurima. Although I heard that the food price in Shurima is a bit too cheap, but you Fossbarrow is not at all Does it produce food?
Although it is true that giving up the private army is giving up power, in the final analysis, the private army in the north is used to guard against the Freljord barbarians. If the army directly under the royal family can shoulder its own responsibilities, then what are you worried about? ?
It might not be traditional enough, but it's not a bad thing!

It's a pity that before they could speak, Lux said something that shocked them even more, as if she was talking endlessly.

"Forsbarrow is about to announce general mobilization."

Armed confrontation? !
Pete and Augsa were stunned.

They looked at their daughter in disbelief, but they couldn't figure out why things had developed to this point, and they also couldn't understand why Lacus seemed to be very confident in fighting against the royal family with an upright and ostentatious posture.

You know, not long ago, the elite of the royal family had just crossed the sea to conquer Nashilam, and with the astonishing logistical debuff, they forcibly took down the city-state.

Even the former Noxus Empire, looking at its achievements over the years, there are not many that can compare with it!
But at this time, Lacus said that armed confrontation would be adopted, announcing the general mobilization of Fossbarrow...

Crazy?
Historically, Demacia has not seen wars on the side of the Qing Dynasty. When the nobles were in power, it was not uncommon for various forces to compete for power.

however……

When the royal family was strong, the nobles of Demacia had always been very low-key. From the establishment of Demacia to the present, there has never been a situation where the royal family was strong, but the nobles raised their troops to Luoyang.

At this moment, Pete and Augatha looked at Lacus as if they were looking at a mad patient.

To them, it seems more likely that the daughter is somehow insane than that Lux is going to start a civil war.

"I didn't want to get to this point so quickly." Knowing what her parents' attitude meant, Lacus could only shake her head helplessly, "But Demacia's people have long-standing grievances, and the royal family has lured wolves into the house. Believers of giant gods are preaching in Demacia, and if this continues, the people of Demacia will become Rakkor people sooner or later!"

Pete and Augatha have no idea what Lux is talking about.

Or rather, they don't know what it means to "become a Rakkor".

"This time I came to Mihril City, I hope Mom and Dad will stand with me." After briefly explaining the way of life of the Rakkor people, Lux finally talked about the purpose of her trip, "Northern Territory The three towns should naturally be rooted together."

Although they were surprised by the way of life of the Rakor people in Lacus's narration, Pete and Augatha obviously couldn't accept their daughter's wild demands.

In this case, Lux could only sigh helplessly, and then said in a low voice that her daughter was not filial.

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

Augsa and Pete are under house arrest.

After that, Lux quickly contacted Polgar, the commander of the Second Northern Army.

Although they are the commanders-in-chief of the Second Army in the North, Polgar and Lux ​​have been keeping in touch in private—this relationship began with the Battle of Mithril City and became more stable after the food crisis in Mithril City.

After that, Polgar adored Lacus a lot, and Lacus also intended to win over the young commander of the Second Legion. Five years ago, when Polgar finally became a legitimate general, he also Became a member of the Pioneers of the North and was one of the first members of the Pioneers of the North not to be at Fossbarrow.

Although he is in Mithral City, under the influence of Lux, Polgar, who has gradually broadened his vision, also observes other places in Demacia through his own channels. At first Polgar just felt that something was wrong, but as the war ended in victory and the situation among the people went from bad to worse, Polgar quickly realized that something was wrong.

As the commander-in-chief of the Second Army in the North, Polgar grew up beside his uncle Henchal, and belonged to that kind of iron-blooded soldier.

The northern soldiers used to have the most actual combat experience in the past. In the struggle against the Freljord barbarians, they have experienced trials of blood and fire for generations.

In these wars, the Northern Legion has always been the defender. They are very aware of the pain of being invaded, and they are natural anti-aggressors.

Of course, if Jarvan IV chose to expedition to the Freljord, these northern warriors who had hatred against the barbarians might be quite supportive, but Jarvan IV chose to go south to attack Naslam, even if there were lost goods, Nasram The excuse of helping to sell stolen goods, but in Polgar's view, it also somewhat seems to be a crime, and there is nothing to say.

In addition, because Lux arranged to sing a double reed before, even if Pete and Augsa are in Mithril City now, their relationship with the nobles of the crown guard of Mithril City is already extremely bad. Coupled with the constant rumors of the abolition of the Northern Second Army, Polgar's favor for the royal family—and even the entire Northern Second Army—has dropped to the lowest level at this time.

At this time, Lux came to Mithral City alone, and took the initiative to find Polgar, expressing her willingness to raise troops.

Polgar was dumbfounded.

But after a moment of sluggishness, he was a little excited again.

When he joined the Northern Vanguard Corps, he made an oath that he would "dedicate his whole life to the great cause". At that time, the great cause for him was to maintain the order of the Northern Territory and make the Northern Territory more prosperous and powerful. .

Now the northern border has not been plundered by the Freljord south for more than ten years, and the economic situation has improved greatly. In Polgar's eyes, the only problem here is that the nobles who play with power are grabbing Benefit.

Since Polgar is relatively young, and his methods are relatively immature without the support of Lux, he is often the one who suffers when the military has conflicts with the nobles. As a result, he has no favorable impression of these nobles. .

Now, Lux has finally announced that she is going to raise an army, and the first goal of the army is to clean up these greedy blood-sucking nobles. How can Polgar not be excited?
Although there is no room for him to act in the battle to defend his homeland, there is still a lot of room for him to play in the battle to reshape the universe!
As a result, Polgar was successfully persuaded by Lacus, and quickly assembled the soldiers of the Second Army in the North.

At the same time, Lux also took the initiative to hold a dance in the name of her parents.

At this moment, almost all the nobles of Mithril City are like mirrors in their hearts. If Pete and Augatha hold a ball, eight out of ten times it may be for Galen and Lux's marriage.

This time just after Lux arrived, Pete and Augatha were about to hold a dance... It was obviously for the important event of their daughter's marriage!
Although most of the offshoots of the crown guards are very convinced that this aunt Lax looks down on ordinary people, and it is impossible for them to become a member of the Laxana family in the future, but can't be a husband or a matchmaker?
After receiving the news, many offshoots of the Mianwei family quickly mobilized their contacts and began to contact young talents they were familiar with. Many of these people were of the Dili and Gaokan types, and their backgrounds might be poor. Some meanings, but I have nothing to say about my ability or appearance.

Today, most people in Demacia have realized that unless Lux's future partner is Jarvan IV, they may only be backward compatible.

In this way, Miyin City seemed to be bustling all of a sudden, and the offshoot nobles of the Mianwei family seized the time to contact those young people whom they favored, trying to form a precious relationship through such a precious opportunity.

But obviously, they didn't realize that this so-called banquet was nothing more than a fishing competition in the final analysis, and Lux ​​who released the news was like a fisherman who had made a nest.

After making the nest, she didn't intend to go fishing, but prepared to copy the net very unscrupulously, and even switched on the power on the net, ready to take this opportunity to wipe out all the lords in Miyin City and nearby!
Finally, at the appointed time, the nobles from the side branch of the crown guard rushed to the castle at the highest point in the main city to attend the grand banquet.

However, it was a little surprising that Augsa and Pete, the nominal organizers of the banquet, did not show up at the first time, and it was Lacus, the aunt who came out to receive the guests.

what's the situation?
　Head hurts, neck hurts, throat hurts.
