LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Chapter 402 Swain's hole card (two in one)

Before I knew it, nearly a month had passed.

Under the leadership of the leader, Ionia is moving towards change calmly, while Noxus on the other side of the ocean has become more dark and turbulent because of the changes that have taken place in this distant land.

That night, outside the Immortal Fortress, there was a noble manor.

If the outsiders hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they might not dare to imagine that in the center of the imperial capital, where every inch of land is expensive, and in the heart of the empire where you can look up and see the immortal fortress, someone could own such a vast manor.

How extravagant, how rich, and how enviable the owner of the manor should be!
Lester made such a sigh when he was a teenager.

When he fought desperately on the battlefield and became a glorious junior officer of the empire, but when he returned, he still couldn't afford a dilapidated rental house in the outer city of the Immortal Fortress. manor.

Later, he had a deeper understanding of the problem.

He knew that the owner of the manor was a certain noble from the empire.

These fat-bodied nobles hold the supreme power of the Noxus Empire and enjoy almost unlimited high-quality resources.But they often put their family's private affairs above state affairs, and regard their own interests as more important than the interests of the empire.

Then, Lester gradually understood——

The extravagant life of these people is not worthy of envy, only worthy of anger!
The rich and powerful only know about the proud family, and there are really few people among them who worry about the country.Plutocrats and giants brag about their generations without thinking about the society and the people!
They must die!

Leicester thought so, and did so.He eventually succeeded too.

At this moment, Lester lived in this noble manor that he only dared to look at from afar.

The original owner of the manor had been ruthlessly liquidated after Swain came to power, and this manor was also given to his good student Leicester by Swain as a reward for his meritorious service.

Leicester's dream has come true.He became the master of this manor.

However, after living in the manor, his state of mind is not as happy and satisfied as he once imagined.he
"You're scared, aren't you?"

LeBlanc walked slowly to Lester, and together they looked at the open and beautiful garden outside the window:

"You are afraid that you will be dragged out of this room without dignity like the previous owner, put on a prison van and sent to the execution ground amidst the laughter of passers-by. In the end, everything you have worked so hard for, It will disappear completely at the moment when the guillotine falls. It's as if you are still the slum boy who had nothing 30 years ago."

"So you don't live here happily. Because you know very well that as long as the leader is not eliminated for a day, then this manor will never truly belong to you."

"Enough!" Lester cut her off angrily.

He didn't want to chat with this uninvited woman: "I said, I won't see you again. You"

"Don't worry." LeBlanc smiled and sat down by the window: "There are no Swain's crows here, you can speak freely—I promise you."

"We have nothing to say, let's go." Lester's words were still tough, but his tone had subconsciously softened.

LeBlanc also seemed to see through his mind.Instead of leaving, she sat down at the long table beside her.

"I said it last time." Lester frowned: "I agree with the strategy of prioritizing the hidden dangers of leaders, and I am willing to persuade Mr. Swain to temporarily abandon his prejudices and cooperate with you against the enemy."

"But that doesn't mean I'm on the same side as the black rose—we'll never be on the same side, do you understand?"

"Haha." Lester's attitude was firm, but LeBlanc just smiled unhurriedly: "It seems that you have already guessed why I came to you today, General Lester."

Lester was silent.

Yes, he knows.

Swain made a promise to the aggressive generals a month ago, and tomorrow is the time for this promise to expire.

Swain said that he will reveal the answer to the mystery at this moment, revealing his real trump card of not being afraid of the leader.

"Of course I want to believe that General Swain has such preparations." LeBlanc was also looking forward to Swain's cards.

Swain is a wise general after all.Except for the time when he was backstabbed by the black rose, he was able to surprise his opponent with a fatal blow almost every time.

He said that he has a way to deal with the leader, so everyone must be willing to believe that he really has a way.

"However, we also have to prepare for the worst." LeBlanc said meaningfully: "If by tomorrow, Commander Swain still refuses to reveal his plan to everyone, he still refuses to launch an attack on the leaders." If there is a decisive battle, then we may have to take some necessary measures to let Commander Swain give a clear explanation."

Lester had a complicated expression.

Although LeBlanc just said that Swain must give an explanation tomorrow.

However, if these subordinates have the ability to force Swain to give an explanation, are they capable of forcing Swain to do other things?And if they really did this, could the relationship between Swain and them go back to the way it was before?
If they can't, then they should accept Swain's future liquidation obediently, or keep doing nothing.
This is a dead end road, and there is a cliff in front of it. If you take one step, you will never stop.

"You are encouraging us to force the palace!" Lester said the essence.

"Mr. Swain's kindness to me is as great as a mountain." He clenched his fist quietly: "Even if I die, die outside, and be buried alive in this garden, it is absolutely impossible to betray him!"

"Really?" LeBlanc smiled and played with a quaint gold candlestick carved with complicated patterns in her hand: "The royal lampstand of ancient Shurima, tsk tsk, this is from Du Kecao's house. Did you copy it?"

"Did you ask Mr. Swain for permission when you took this thing back to your home?"

"You don't need to report this kind of trivial matter to Mr. Swain." Lester didn't change his face.

Conscience of heaven and earth, only [-]% of the house raids he presided over were lost, and [-]% of the [-]% had to be shared with the officers and colleagues.In the end, I got [-]% of it myself, and I was able to ensure that the bulk of the [-]% was handed over to the state treasury in its entirety.

Take one to seven, when in the history of Noxus was there such an upright official like him!
Didn't Mr. Swain praise him for his bottom line after knowing the truth?
Lester doesn't see this as a betrayal.These good things are what he deserves.

"Okay, let's say it's your legal privilege." LeBlanc looked over with a smile.

The eyes of this cunning enchantress are so deep, as if she can see through his soul: "Enjoy this taste of power, is it very pleasant?"

"I..." Lester was stunned subconsciously.

Yes.very pleasant.

He no longer has to look at the faces of those old nobles, and he doesn't have to bow his knees in front of those lords in the command headquarters.Apart from a few generals such as Swain and Darius in the Noxus Empire, he is the most respected.

Today, he holds the supreme power of the empire and enjoys the best resources of the empire——

He has become the kind of elder he hated most back then.

And then Lester realized how good it felt.

"How much joy you have now, how painful it will be when you lose it." LeBlanc said: "And now, every minute, every second, you are getting further and further away from your hard-won position." farther."

"You must know what happened in Ionia recently."

"The leader has reached an alliance with Master Karma of the Eternal Temple, and with the full support of Irelia, the Balance Sect, and the vastayas, they have completely controlled the situation in Ionia."

"It is impossible to count on the masters of Ionia to delay the progress of the leader. The belief of the leader is now like a prairie fire, and with their great victory, it is crazy in Ionia spread"

So, LeBlanc couldn't wait any longer.

She must get an explanation tomorrow.

"Your situation is actually similar to mine, isn't it?" LeBlanc said, "Do you really have the patience to continue waiting?"

Lester: "."

"And compared to me, you have no way out." LeBlanc said darkly, "I have what the leader wants, so they won't kill me no matter what."

Give it a go, I will win the world, and lose. At worst, I will step on a 1000-year sewing machine.

LeBlanc was mentally prepared for the worst.

"And you? General Lester, need I remind you how many crimes you have committed in the past few decades of war?"

"You only have a few decades in your life, let you step on the sewing machine, can you accept it?"

A trace of anxiety flashed in Lester's eyes.

He's done a lot of dirty work for the Empire in the past.And he likes to use young soldiers as cannon fodder, just like the perverted and bloodthirsty Amistan, he belongs to the kind that is notorious among the generals of Noxus.

Leaders cannot tolerate him.Even if he voluntarily surrenders now, what he gets in return may be the end of a long-term reform through labor.

Although you can still live, what's the point of living like this?

"I" Lester looked at the beautiful garden outside the window.

This is his estate!He didn't want to lose it and go back to his previous life with nothing.

He hoped that his children could grow up in this beautiful garden, instead of being firmly trampled under the feet of the people in this manor for most of their lives like him.

"But." Swain's face quietly came to his mind again.He didn't want to betray his teacher.Of course, he also instinctively dare not betray.

At this time, LeBlanc threw a bombshell: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, General Lester."

"I came to you this time, not because I want you to lead everyone to charge into battle tomorrow. I just need you to show your support and don't obstruct our actions."

"After all, when the time comes, General Darius will naturally lead the charge."

"General Darius?!" Lester was shocked: "He, how could he be?"

It's only been two months, and that Noxus hand with thick eyebrows and big eyes has already become a retainer of the three surnames?
"He has already agreed." LeBlanc confirmed calmly, "Otherwise I wouldn't be sure to make such a preparation."

With General Darius leading the charge, and the betrayal of his cronies such as Leicester, Naswain was almost completely emptied.

As a loner, he can no longer mobilize a single soldier.The only thing to worry about is his personal strength.

And Swain's only reliance on personal strength is a hidden demon from ancient times.

"Its power is no stronger than the shadow demon I have." LeBlanc said confidently, "If you cooperate, I am fully capable of taking control of the hidden demon."

"When the time comes to gather the power of the three demons, together with the elite and extraordinary army of the Noxus Empire, we will have the ability to fight the leader."

"Of course." This was when Swain refused to fight against the leader, and the two sides were completely tearing their skins apart.

LeBlanc did not forget to emphasize this point.If Swain can really show some hole cards that can deal with the leader tomorrow, she is also willing to cooperate with him wholeheartedly.

"You..." Lester showed emotion.

But he still hesitated and tentatively said: "You revealed so much information to me, even told me about General Darius, are you not afraid that I will make a secret report to Commander Swain?"

"I'm not afraid." LeBlanc said frankly, "Because we share the same main contradiction. General Lester, you don't want the leader to grow to the point where he can easily crush us under Swain's connivance, right? ?”

"Also, General Darius has already expressed his position. At this time."

"So what if you report to Swain? Darkwill also knew that the nobles were plotting against him, but what can he do? Could he still kill everyone who opposed him? ?"

When all nobles are against the emperor, the emperor is in fact in a desperate situation.

"Now that General Darius is clearly on our side, a storm is brewing."

This means that there are only two options for Swain's ending.

First, he could really take out the hole card he promised that was said to be able to win the leader, and calm down the restless military spirit in one fell swoop.

Second, he can't show the so-called hole cards.Then he can only give way in time due to "physical reasons" like Darkwell.

And no matter which of these two roads leads to, LeBlanc is happy to see it.Anyway, it would be nice to start a war with the leader as soon as possible.

"I see." Lester took a deep breath.

Going to war is the trend of the times and the aspiration of the people.He was just following the trend.

"If the leader is not eliminated, the empire will not be peaceful for a day. Therefore."

"For Noxus." Lester took LeBlanc's extended hand.

"For our beautiful estate." LeBlanc laughed teasingly.

The two hands were held together: "Happy cooperation."

"Hurry up and report to Commander Swain, and tell me that I have something important to tell!" Not long after LeBlanc was sent away, Lester appeared in the Immortal Fortress.

Yes, he came to report.

Lester was indeed persuaded by LeBlanc.But he knew Swain better and knew how scary this man was.

With the passage of time, two months have passed since Swain came to power, and everyone began to doubt whether Swain really has a way to deal with the leader.

But Lester still had faith in his teacher's abilities.

He believed that Swain must really be hiding some ulterior cards, waiting to be revealed tomorrow two months later.

And this hole card must be very strong, so Swain can neither fear the threat of the leader, but also proudly refuse the cooperation invitation of Black Rose.

As for what this hole card is, why did Swain have to wait two months before revealing it.
Do not ask.Asking is part of the plan.

This is clearly a blind trust.But as Swain's student and confidant, Lester has this unreasonable blind faith in this man who was once invincible.

And that being the case, since he firmly believed that Swain had a trump card that would allow him not to be afraid of the leader and LeBlanc, then of course he would not betray a man who possessed such a powerful force.

So, here comes Lester.

"Teacher Swain!" Under the guidance of the guards, Lester came to Swain's office as he wished.

Swain was sitting at the desk reviewing documents with a serious and calm expression.It was as if he hadn't been aware of the dark tide swelling beneath the Immortal Fortress.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked Lester: "You are here."

"You are the third one to show your loyalty, and it's not too late to come."

"Huh?" Lester was startled, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

"Don't be nervous." Swain said indifferently: "Although you haven't really kept up with me, at least you have shown enough loyalty."

"This..." Lester couldn't understand.What does it mean to "really keep up with him"?
Teacher Swain, where is he going?
Lester was puzzled, but facing the calm and calm face of the teacher, he was still inexplicably at ease:

really!Teacher Swain really knew what happened behind the scenes!
But Swain was still so calm.Obviously, he really has a hole card!
I am right this time!
Lester was thinking excitedly, and asked cautiously: "Do you know the conspiracy that LeBlanc is secretly planning?"

"Almost." Swain put down the pen and paper, looked up calmly, "I've been procrastinating for two months without any reason."

"Even without LeBlanc's secret connection, you wouldn't be able to sit still. Isn't it?"

"Teacher" Lester lowered his head in shame.

Hearing the meaning of beating in Swain's mouth, he quickly made amends: "Mr. Swain, I also heard an extremely important piece of news from LeBlanc—"

"General Darius has secretly reached a cooperation with Black Rose. If you fail to launch the war against the leader as promised, they are going to launch a 'Second Restoration' against you at the Trifali meeting tomorrow. Cough cough, launch A rebellion!"

Darius is going to take the lead in forcing the palace, this is indeed terrible news.

But Swain remained calm: "It doesn't matter."

"It's just part of my plan that Darius will vote for LeBlanc."

"Otherwise, without him taking the lead, how many of you cowards would dare to jump out?"

"This..." Lester broke out in a cold sweat.

Good guy.Even Darius belongs to Teacher Swain!

From the beginning to the end of this farce, it was a game set up by Si Wei for everyone to clean up the "unstable factors" inside!

He stood in line this time too timely.He was almost on the wrong side.

"The road I have to go is very difficult." At this time, Swain sighed leisurely: "I know, not everyone can follow me."

"But it doesn't matter if you can't keep up. I don't require you to have ideals. If you don't have ideals, you can cultivate them slowly in the future."

"But after all, I am your teacher, your boss for so many years. If someone wants to disregard the friendship between teachers and students and the loyalty and kindness of so many years for his own self-interest, then..."

Then he is no longer an ordinary reactionary.Must come hard.

It is impossible for such an ungrateful person to be successfully transformed by the leader.In the future, they will surely become enemies.

So Swain planned to take this opportunity to clear out the most uncontrollable potential enemies in these teams first.

"As for you." Swain looked at Leicester meaningfully: "At least you are still willing to listen to me now. I hope you can maintain this in the future."

"Huh?" The more Lester heard it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Why did Mr. Swain say that?It was as if he was going to do something big that would arouse strong opposition from his subordinates.

"Lester." At this moment, Swain revealed the answer: "Didn't you always want to know, why am I not afraid of the leader?"

"Hmm!" Lester's attention was immediately attracted to this topic.

In his dreams, he wanted to know what trump card Swain was hiding that would allow him to behave so calmly in the face of the threats from the leader and LeBlanc.

After all, his wealth and life, as well as his happy life, were all bet on Swain's card.

"Let me tell you." Two months passed, and Swain's plan to delay the attack could no longer delay the time.And after the rapid growth, today's leader no longer needs to be afraid of LeBlanc who is jumping over the wall.

So he is not afraid to reveal the answer in front of the students.

"The reason why I'm not afraid of leaders is very simple." Swain spread out his palms, and a whirlwind formed in his palms: "Because, I am."

"Leadership Association, president of the Noxus branch."

Lester: "???"
