Chapter 471 The Threat of the Shadow Island
"There are many masters around him, and he is also an eighth-level rune swordsman." General Leroy glanced at the young general: "Don't look at him, when he was your age, he was already He is an eighth-level rune swordsman, and he has participated in many wars against Noxus with King Knicks."

The young general shut up.

In the current situation, assassination cannot be assassinated, and it cannot be dealt with by the parliament. It is really a headache.

"Okay, let's not talk about this matter, we can only collect more information before we are sure." Marshal Cecil said: "Now, what we urgently need to solve is another matter."

"What else is there? Things are messy enough now." Durand frowned.

Marshal Cecil looked at everyone: "What I am most concerned about now is where the mysterious force that has contacted both Vincent and the king came from."

Marshal Cecil raised this question, and everyone discovered that there were indeed more troublesome problems.

"General Zonge, your intelligence department really can't grasp the coming of this force?" Durand asked Zonge.

"Yes." Zonge nodded: "Our people have discovered that this force has contacted Vincent and the king more than ten times, but every time they follow up, they will be thrown away inexplicably by the other party, but you can Certainly, this force certainly does not belong to the empire."

"Why are you so sure?" Durand asked.

"Because of their rune power." Zonge glanced at everyone: "Their rune power does not belong to the empire, not even to Noxus and Zaun, with a strong dark breath..."

"What?" General Clancy blurted out. "Darkness! You mean they might come from across the Sea of ​​Conquerors?"

"At present, this is the only possibility." Zonge nodded.

At this moment, everyone discovered that the problem was not just such a headache, it was simply a splitting headache.

The power of dark runes!
This is a forbidden power in the Waterland continent.Even Demacia's enemies, Noxus, Zaun, and even the Freljord's troll clan, the vagrants of Shurima, are all terrified of this power.

Because... the power of dark runes only exists in the legends of Waterland!
If you really want to go back, you have to go back to the ancient times. According to legend, the Waterland continent was still a peaceful place in the ancient times. Although there were many tribes and city-states, everyone lived peacefully on this continent without any wars. , and some are at most a neighbor's quarrel.

One day, a large group of evil races came from the Sea of ​​Conquerors, possessing the power of evil runes, and almost swallowed up the entire continent of Waterland. Finally, the God of Light came and drove these evil creatures back into the sea , and sealed the leader of this group of evil creatures.

"It's not what you imagined." Seeing the green faces of all the young generals, General Leroy said: "According to the information we have learned, the opposite side of the Sea of ​​Conquerors is not the group of evil people from ancient times. creatures, but a bunch of villains."

"Bandits?" Marshal Durand looked at General Leroy: "When did you get the information from the other side of the Conqueror's Sea?"

"A year ago." General Leroy nodded: "I didn't intend to tell you about this. This information was not obtained by our intelligence department, but it was Jin's child, James."

"James? The child adopted by King?" Durand still had some impression of this.

"Yes." General Leroy nodded: "James got a clue that the killer who killed Jin came from the Sea of ​​​​Conquerors, so he went to the Sea of ​​​​Conquerors alone, and finally found another piece of land opposite the Sea of ​​Conqueror by accident." land."

"There is another land on the other side of the Sea of ​​Conquerors?" A young general was surprised.

In the eyes of the people of Waterland, the whole world, apart from Waterland, only Ionia, and the Blue Flame Island in the south of the Sea of ​​Guardians, do not know that there is another continent on the other side of the Sea of ​​Conquerors.

Because for the people of Waterland Continent, the Sea of ​​Conqueror means the birth of the devil, and anyone who enters the sea will be swallowed.

Now that they heard that there is still a piece of land opposite the Sea of ​​Conquerors, it is no wonder that everyone is surprised.

"Yes." General Leroy nodded: "Those gangsters called that place Shadow Island. It is a mysterious place shrouded in darkness all year round, where dark magic is combined with evil. There are many very powerful According to James, the eighth-level rune masters are very common in that place..."

"The eighth-level rune master is also very common!"

All the young generals showed expressions of disbelief.

What is the concept of an eighth-level rune master? In the Demacia Empire, there are less than 100 people in total, but it is very common in that place?
"Yes, very common." General Leroy looked at everyone: "We suspect that whether it is Zaun who is in contact with Vincent, or the Black Rose organization who is in contact with the king, it is just a cover. What is really behind them is People from the Shadow Isles."

Speaking of this, General Leroy sighed: "It's a pity that we organized seventeen teams and wanted to cross the Sea of ​​Conquerors to the Shadow Isles, but in the end all the teams were silent. More damage was incurred and the investigation had to be discontinued."

Everyone was silent.

Noxus, Zaun, Freljord, Shurima, even LeBlanc, the Black Rose organization, are all imaginable opponents, but from the Shadow Isles, from the enemy across the Sea of ​​​​Conquerors, It's hard for everyone to imagine.

"If you have any other headaches, let's talk about it together." Marshal Durand looked at Marshal Cecil with a green face. Even at his age, it was hard to accept such things.

"Old man, we are about to die in this life, didn't we expect so many things to happen?" Marshal Cecil also smiled wryly with a headache.

Marshal Cecil, who is the Minister of Military Affairs of the Empire, also learned about the matter of Shadow Island from General Leroy a long time ago. The reason why he has not told the rest of the Eagle Faction is because the incident is too shocking. .

In this confidential military meeting, in addition to discussing the war in Ionia, the matter of Vincent and the Rawamy family, another important matter is the matter of Shadow Island.

"If the forces behind the king and Vincent are really Shadow Island, are they planning to attack the Waterland continent again?" General Clancy said with a frown.

"I'm afraid this is the case at the moment." Marshal Cecil nodded, and glanced at Marshal Durand and General Clancy: "Now the intelligence department is short of manpower, and even many students in the intermediate class have been recruited. I hope We can transfer some manpower from your eastern border guards and southern border guards to fill the vacancy in the intelligence department."

"Well, we support this." Durand nodded, "But they haven't received professional intelligence training, so I'm afraid it's hard for them to be competent for the intelligence department?"

"Not ordinary soldiers, what I need is your scout troops to strengthen the intelligence network in the north and the west." Cecil sighed: "You know, there has been no threat of war in the west, so the intelligence network is extremely Insufficient, now that the Shadow Isles are likely to invade in a large scale, we must strengthen the intelligence work in the west."

"However, if the scout troops are recruited, what will our border guards do?" General Clancy frowned.

"This is the problem." Cecil nodded: "So I need to ask for your consent. Once the scout troops are deployed, the pressure on your border defense will increase dramatically."

The generals finally knew why Marshal Cecil discussed this matter so carefully.

The scout troops are equivalent to the tentacles of the border guards. They are extremely important to the border guards. Without scout troops, more regular troops must be mobilized to participate in patrols, so as to guard against the long border.

With the mobilization of the regular army, whether it is the defense of Noxus in the east or the defense of Shurima vagrants in the south, the pressure will be very high.

"Can we only transfer scout troops from the Southern Legion? The pressure on Noxus in the east is already enormous. It would be fine if we mobilized thousands of regular troops, but the scout troops are in short supply." Durand frowned, and Cecil and Clancy confer.

"This, I have to ask Marshal Roman for instructions." Clancy also frowned: "Although the southern border guards have less defensive pressure, the border line is too long and almost covers the entire magnificent barrier, and scouts are urgently needed force."

No matter how it is solved, there seems to be no better way, and Cecil has nothing else to say.

"I don't care, now we must grasp the information on the Sea of ​​Conqueror, otherwise it will be troublesome once the people from the Shadow Island invade." General Leroy glanced at Marshal Durand and General Clancy: "You must at least add something to me. Wan's scout troops come over!"

"You..." Durand glared at General Leroy, but when he thought of the old man's temper, he could only sigh helplessly in the end: "Well, I will do my best..."

"Wouldn't it be better to do this earlier?" General Leroy looked proudly at Clancy, "You tell that guy Roman, just say that I want five thousand scout troops, and if you don't give it to me, wait." I'll dig his ancestral grave."

"..." Clancy's face turned green, so he nodded silently.

Seeing that Durand and Clancy were holding back, Marshal Cecil smiled to himself, but then he thought of the situation the empire was facing, and then he couldn't laugh, and his face turned bitter.

"Hey, those civilians who are still demonstrating, who knows that the empire is now in danger of life and death." A young general sighed.

"Yes." Another young general nodded.

In this meeting, in the end, only a general plan for how to deal with the changes in the Vincent and Lavamy families was determined, and at the same time, the matter of Shadow Island was notified, but the real solution seemed to be a lot of messy things. There may be a good solution.

All the participants finally frowned and dismissed the meeting worriedly.
