LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Chapter 314 "Unsung Hero" Lester
Meanwhile, Yipo River Port.

General Leicester didn't know yet, but at this time someone was already eyeing his head.

At this time, he deliberately screened away all idlers, including the adjutant, and was sitting alone in his command office, carefully opening a secret letter.

This "secret letter" is very special.

Because it was not a letter in the traditional sense at all, but a black crow flying fast from the distant sea.

Lester put the crow on the table and looked at the crow with his eyes.

The crow also looked at him carefully, as if confirming his identity and the surrounding environment.

Finally, a strange red light appeared in the crow's eyes, and the crow opened and closed its beak and said, "Lester."

"Mr. Swain, what are your orders?" Lester nodded respectfully.

"I'm about to take over as the governor of Piltover, and I'm on my way to lead the army to Shuangcheng." The crow said, "You should know about this, right?"

"Of course." Lester nodded: "Student, I have been following the news from you, teacher."

He knew that Swain had been sent to Piltover by Darkwill, the puppet emperor, and made him responsible for confronting the leader on the front line.

This was obviously a trick between the leader and Swain, playing tricks of throwing stones and asking for directions and driving tigers and wolfs away.

"Very well, it seems that you also know our situation."

Swain uses "we" here.Because Lester is his student and has already boarded his thief ship.

If he stumbled in Shuangcheng this time, Leicester, thousands of miles away, and a large number of generals sent by new officers would also be in bad luck.

"Darkwell wants to use us as cannon fodder to test the leader, of course we can't let him succeed."

"So no matter what, before that 'big event' happens, we must maintain a peaceful relationship with the leader—whether it is in the Twin Cities or in Ionia, the leader is not our priority now enemy--"

"Do you understand, Lester?"

The big event that Swain was talking about was naturally the coup d'état they secretly planned.

And this coup is related to all of them's current wealth and future prosperity and wealth, and there is absolutely no room for loss.

"Understood." So Lester also nodded heavily.

Although he doesn't like leaders very much.Both their theories and their blatant intervention in the Ionian War.

But he knows that to fight against the outside world, we must first settle down inside.

If you don't kill the old aristocratic forces in the empire of the Black Rose faction first, the old aristocrats will kill them soon.

The coup plan cannot be stopped once it starts, and there is no turning back for them.

Therefore, in order to concentrate on resolving internal troubles first, Leicester is also willing to temporarily maintain peace with the leader.

"Recently, there have been orders from the Immortal Fortress, urging us to find the leader who escaped from Yipu River Port half a month ago as soon as possible."

This is obviously also the tactic of the old aristocratic faction.

The old nobles want them to find the leader, and then have a local war with the leader in Ionia.

Leicester naturally couldn't let his opponent succeed.

"Teacher, don't worry. In fact, these days I have been helping those leaders cover."

He had secretly sent his confidant scouts a long time ago to confirm that the leader is not in the Yipu River Basin.

Because the leader took away tens of thousands of people.Moreover, because of their limited divine power, they stopped and rested several times during the flight, leaving many traces.

As long as it is tracked at the first time, it is not difficult to confirm the approximate direction of escape.

So he knew that the leader must have fled to other places on the island.

But Leicester has always pretended to believe that the leader is here:
"I have sent someone to secretly clean up the traces left by the leader when he fled."

"It just so happened that some restless guys under my command took the opportunity to kill the good and pretend to be meritorious, and lied about the military information that there were many guerrilla leaders operating near the Yipu River Basin."

"I took advantage of the trend and reported the fake news to those fools in the command. Haha."

"[-]% of the newly added troops to the province of Baru have been deployed to me. It is estimated that for at least the next month, their time will be wasted in the continuous mountainous area in the upper and middle reaches of the Yipu River."

"As long as those leaders are smarter and hide themselves and don't show up everywhere, this battle will not be fought."

I'm afraid Riven and Fei Ya don't know that they can safely hide in the Wuji Mountains with tens of thousands of people, and there is such an "unsung hero" like Lester standing behind them.

Now half of the empire is played around by him, and Leicester is quite proud of it.

However, the crow made a dissatisfied voice after pondering: "Lester, your thinking is correct. But it is not a wise move to connive your subordinates to kill good deeds."

"You will only destroy the soul of an army—the discipline and ethos of the army."

"I" Lester froze for a moment.

Then he nodded respectfully: "Yes, Mr. Swain."

In fact, he really wanted to say that Teacher Swain had been laid off for more than a year after all.

I haven't been to the front line for a year, and I'm a little out of touch with the front-line military situation.

Originally, when Swain was leading the troops on the front line, the imperial army had already shown an irreversible tendency to corruption.

Later, Swain left the front line due to his defeat. Without the strong supervision of this strategist commander, Noxus' frontline troops in Ionia became degenerate at an alarming rate.

Not to mention the discipline and ethos of the soldiers
Even Lester himself, in order to keep his official position and run through the relationship, is frantically eating empty salary to make money.

"Ahem." Of course, these words are not good to say to the demanding teacher Swain.

"Lester, you don't need to hide it in front of me." Swain's voice pierced through the space and came from the crow's mouth coldly: "Do you think I don't know what you are doing if I am not on the front line?"

"After more than a year of my absence, you have become as greedy and shameless as those old nobles, haven't you?"

"I" Lester felt a chill down his spine.

He only recalled the terror of his teacher when he heard the quietly cold voice.

"Yes, I'm sorry." There were drops of cold sweat on his forehead: "Teacher, I failed your expectations. I"

"Forget about the past." Swain said, "It was my loss of power that made you lose your support. In order to keep your status, you can only do some dirty things. I don't blame you for that."

"But since you are a soldier, you must at least have a bottom line."

"Noxians are not afraid of killing. But killing should be meaningful and controlled. Otherwise, soldiers will become complete beasts and the army will become a mess."

"Yes!" Lester nodded respectfully.

"Also." Swain reminded him again: "Don't think that those little tricks you play will definitely fool those old nobles."

"I received a message from the Immortal Bastion that the High Command has sent you a 'supervisor' from Navoli."

"His regiment is not far from Baru Oben, and he may be able to reach the port of Yipu River by boat today."

"What, what?" Lester panicked.

Those gangster old nobles were really worried about letting him, a general sent by a new military officer, be fully responsible for the command of the empire's military operations in the province of Barua.

Where is this supervisor?It was clearly to seize power.

And once this command is taken away by the old aristocratic faction, he will not be able to cover for the leader in the future.

Not to mention playing cover. Those little tricks he used to cover the leader before, it would be considered good if he could not be exposed.

At that time, at worst, he may be executed by the "supervisor" for treason immediately.

Thinking about it better, even if he can deceive the other party, making the other party believe that he was deceived by soldiers who killed good deeds and handed in wrong information by mistake.
Then it is still possible for the opponent to seize the opportunity to take advantage of the issue and remove his position as the leader of the war group on the charge of "lax military management" and take away the army that he regards as the foundation of his life.

After all, it was the generals of the old aristocratic faction who came this time.

People are here to cause trouble, and they will definitely try their best to target themselves after they come.

The more Lester thought about it, the more nervous he became.

Swain, who told the horrifying news, comforted him instead: "Actually, you don't need to worry too much."

"It's just a mindless idiot here, I'm sure you can handle it."

"Oh?" Lester was puzzled, "Who is it?"

"Darkwill's loyal dog," said Swain, "a fool who is nothing but loyal—"

"Glorious Executioner, Urgot."

(PS: Urgot is the current executioner. In the original work, Swain's coup will be replaced by Draven after the coup d'état is successful)
