Lux's Farewell

Chapter 771 [0760]
Being inside the restricted area, Kalya didn't see Malzaha making any moves. In his spare time, he simply studied these rune towers that were "both living and dead".

Then, in the process of research, Kalya also discovered the self-destruct system on the Rune Tower—unlike Malzaha who found the problem after reading the instruction manual, Kalya was able to realize this completely because of his own truth. Talent and learning.

Carya, who has an in-depth study of magic theory, basically recognized the common magic circuits on the rune tower, and soon noticed some magic circuits and special marks that appeared many times but had never been seen before.

With the mentality of carefully seeking proof, he made some monolith fragments himself, and engraved these magic power circuits and special marks on them.

Then, when the magic power flowed through these magic power circuits and special imprints and activated them, Monolith quickly disintegrated itself.

Seeing this kind of self-destructive cracking, how could Carya not understand their specific use?
"It's a bit of a bottom line." Although the self-destruct system is not good for Karya's use of monoliths, after seeing this scene, he is in a better mood. "Although he is using the void, at least he has left a lot of countermeasures." s method……"

"It's a pity that the most effective countermeasure should be to refuse the temptation!"

"When you know the danger of the void, but you don't know enough about the void, using the power of the void, no matter how many countermeasures you have prepared, you are still actively putting yourself on the edge of the cliff!"

In Karya's view, using the power of the void itself is a danger, unless the user can truly understand the void—but unfortunately, the void is extremely dangerous for extraordinary people and even demigods. No one has really understood the void yet.

And using a power of self-will that one does not understand is undoubtedly playing with fire.

Those who wantonly play with fire are doomed to be burned!

The prosperity and decline of Shurima has proved that the result of trying to take shortcuts will inevitably encounter difficulties in the future, and there will be repayment if there is an overdraft.

Now that the power of the void is ready to move again, it would be wrong to still have the intention of using the void at this time. It is time to trace back to the source and use the monolith for its original purpose!

With this in mind, Kalya began to study how to eliminate the self-destruct program imposed on the rune tower and activate the backdoor mechanism of the monolith.

Malzahar and Kalya, who were supposed to be mortal enemies, just looked up information in the office alone, and conducted experiments in the restricted area. At the same time, they studied how to eliminate the self-destruct program on the monolith.

While Kalya was studying the monolithic self-destruction system, Kiran, who was in Icacia, finally confirmed that there was no problem with the review committee.

It seems that this swarm of void worms is just an occasional phenomenon, not a sign of a large-scale attack.

The supplies that were originally hoarded in the new port of Icacia have already started to be transported, and they are being safely sent to the city of Icacia under special escort.

After checking the time lock and confirming the stability of the time seal, Kieran finally got up and set off again after many years, left Icacia, and headed for Ixtar.

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

A storm is about to break out in Ixtar. Regarding the ruins of the Monolith Fortress, Kalya and Malzahar have their own plans.

Meanwhile, the rest of Runeterra wasn't peaceful either.

It's like the Noxus "empire" that has been in a state of invisibility before and has actually been torn apart. Recently, it has started to mess up again.

In the 14th year of the Fossbyro calendar, the huge Noxus Empire was completely disintegrated in the hands of the new empire commander Darius, except for the new Noxus "Empire" with the Immortal Fortress area as its core In addition, other regions became independent one after another, and established the current Black Forest Federation, Iron Spike Kingdom, Shimmer Silver Second Republic, Rocklund Kingdom, and Watch Alliance.

This great split marked the end of the bipolar confrontation between Demacia and Noxus, which had inherited the legal system of the Noxian Empire. Demacia also began to seek outward to expand its influence.

After that, Darius, who succeeded the position of Grand Commander, gathered the remaining troops of the empire and carried out a brutal internal cleansing.

The sewers of the Immortal Fortress were stained with never-fading scarlet, and countless noble families that once attached to this former empire as parasites were completely wiped out, even uprooted.

Adhering to the principle of "those who can go first", Darius's series of methods can only be described as drastic. Anyone with good personal ability and willing to be loyal to the Noxus Empire will be promoted.

No one would have imagined that after Swain's death, Darius would unswervingly inherit his line, and successfully win over the leaders of several main battle groups, form a military government, and forcibly hold on The situation in New Noxus.

Or... more than just holding on.

In the process of uprooting the old nobles one by one, New Noxus gained astonishing wealth that was enough to support their continuation. After the old cancer was exposed, it miraculously turned into the nourishment of the new empire. Let New Noxus miraculously exchange some surprising vitality.

However, this situation cannot continue forever.

Although the New Noxus Empire still occupies the area near the Immortal Fortress, the products here are not rich. Even under the insistence of Darius, New Noxus opened the state-owned reclamation farms all over New Noxus. Every corner of SARS, but it can barely achieve self-sufficiency in food.

Except for food, most of the resources of the New Noxus Empire are heavily dependent on imports - there is no black iron production area and forging base on the line of the Iron Spike Mountains, there is no Findo horse breeding base, and there is no Kilgore. Fu this ground dragon lizard breeding center, even the routine maintenance of equipment of the New Noxus Empire Legion is very difficult.

In the past few years, due to the removal of a large amount of wealth from the hands of the old nobles and the rescue of many spellcasters from the secret organization of the Black Rose, the financial certificate and human resources of the New Noxus Empire are in good condition .

However, with the diehards of the Immortal Bastion cleared, Darius faced a new problem - the nascent Noxian Empire could not see the way ahead.

Although a large number of professional soldiers loyal to the empire are now loyal to the empire because of Darius' fair promotion policy, for the empire, these people are an out-and-out burden.

They can fight, but they can only fight.

Different from Fossbarrow's line of "everyone participates in construction first", these professional soldiers know nothing about construction. Even if they are transferred to local grassroots administrators, they will only act in accordance with the army's set and make everything happen. It's a mess.

Almost all of Swain's strategists were killed in the Battle of Tobyssia (many of them were taken advantage of by Aatrox), and the current New Noxus Empire can be said to be extremely short of internal affairs personnel.

What is worse than the lack of internal affairs personnel is that they don't even know how to cultivate internal affairs personnel, because Swain's sudden death caused the collapse of the internal affairs personnel training system in New Noxus, and the departure and purge of the old nobles made the The butler-style internal affairs talents in the country have also been completely wiped out.

The current New Noxus Empire is simply a large-scale military camp. Agriculture relies on reclamation, handicrafts rely on ordnance, and the largest number of practitioners in the service industry are cooks and military prostitutes...

It seems that because the old aristocrats were too powerful before, during the internal cleansing, Darius adhered to the principle that overcorrection must be overcorrected, and thoroughly applied the militarization system to every aspect of the Noxus Empire .

If other military governments are "military-led governments", then the military government of the New Noxus Empire is "a military government that is completely led by the military, militarized throughout the country, and everyone is a soldier or reserve soldier." .

Regarding Darius' nonsense, the Black Forest Federation, the Iron Spike Kingdom, the Silver Silver Second Republic, the Rocklund Kingdom, and the Overwatch League were all jokes at first.

From their point of view, it may not be long before New Noxus will collapse itself in poverty.

On the one hand, these forces collect money from New Noxus and sell them resources that New Noxus lacks in order to drain the last oil and water from New Noxus; There was a brief economic boom.

However, as the militarization of the new Noxus deepened, gloating quickly turned into restlessness.

As members of the former Noxus Empire, they know better than anyone what the virtues of Noxus are, and now this new Noxus is more aggressive than the old Noxus in terms of aggressiveness. high.

If the new Noxus begins to expand again... then these forces split from the old Noxus may not be able to resist.

And once the new Noxus conquers these old lands again, the split leaders of these new regimes, I am afraid that the best end will be the same as those purged Noxus nobles, being thrown into the sewer of the Immortal Fortress !
Under the threat of life safety, the new leaders of Black Forest Federation, Iron Spike Kingdom, Silver Silver Second Republic, Rocklund Kingdom, Overwatch Alliance and other regions finally panicked.

No, New Noxus cannot be allowed to continue to be so militaristic, they must be restricted!
Selectively forgetting that he provided a large amount of foreign trade resources for the re-emergence of the new Noxus Empire, these regimes that split from the Noxus Empire have set their sights on the new Demacia Empire.

The Battle of Tobyssia has proved that Noxus is worthless in front of Demacia. Now that Noxus is once again on a dangerous path, hurry up and invite the Demacia Heavenly Soldiers!

Then, after a lot of wrangling within these organizations, a series of consensus was finally reached, a joint mission was formed, and when they came to the Xiongdu of Demacia to ask for support, Lux raised troops in the northern border.

You may not believe it, but when Lux raised troops in the northern border, these were the envoys of the Noxus a few years ago, and even the nobles of Bixiongdu hoped that the civil strife in Demacia would soon subside! ,

For them, the longer the chaos in Demacia lasts, the stronger the new Noxus will be!

While the joint mission was waiting anxiously, the situation in the northern frontier war suddenly changed. First, the counter-insurgency army underestimated the enemy and suffered a small setback;

As a result, the United Mission, which had been looking forward to the quick success of the Demacia counter-insurgency army, once again looked forward to Her Majesty Laxana.

It's a pity that in order to stabilize the situation, Lux did not rush all the way, and even after taking Xiongdu, she started to deal with specific affairs first, and even the enthronement ceremony was delayed for a long time.

Finally, after suffering until Lacus became the Queen of Demacia, the United Mission immediately handed in its own petition, hoping that "the great Demacia Empire will come forward to stop Darius' wolfish ambitions."

It's a good idea, but Lux has no interest in it.

There are traces of void creatures in the Freljord, and a revolution that is about to spread to Runeterra is coming. At this time, you told me to unite to curb the rise of the new Noxus?
Who cares about you!
Don't forget, Demacia and Noxus are feuds!
Moreover, although the Black Forest Federation, the Kingdom of Iron Spikes, the Second Silver Republic, the Kingdom of Rocklund, and the Overwatch League have changed their names, in the eyes of the Demacians, they are Noxus.

Who has the leisure to take care of the internal affairs of the Noxus?

Lacus remembered very clearly what Kalya had said to herself—only garbage forces who don't want to make progress will think of being a shit-stirring stick to stir up disputes.

The new Demacia, which is already on the road to the normalization of magic, should be the pioneer of the new era. Instead of spending energy to provoke internal conflicts in Noxus, it is better to pay as much attention as possible while maintaining attention. Place it inside Demacia.

I am still an agricultural empire that has not undergone industrial upgrading, how can New Demacia have the time to control your Noxus!
And... even if Noxus started a civil war again, and even the new Noxus completed the unification, it might not be a bad thing for Demacia.

Because that means that Lux will have a relatively stable international environment in the future, and fully carry out internal reforms-you don't think that after the normalization of magic in Demacia and the industrialization of magic education, the unified Noxus empire can What kind of threat does it pose to Demacia?

Therefore, after imitating Kalya's tone and making a series of long-winded, but actually tasteless official remarks, Lux respectfully sent the mission away from Demacia.

Then, around the same time that the joint mission left, the new Noxian Empire sent their emissaries to Demacia.
