His younger brother...has always been like this.Not mature enough and easily deceived.
Even low-level gambling in the tavern can deceive him into bankruptcy.
Not to mention that insidious and cunning counselor...
"Swain." Darius turned to look at the lame man in the center of the hall—he didn't even call him "the Commander."
"Long time no see, Darius, my good brother." Swain bowed gracefully, but did not come forward to hug. "I have limited legs and feet, so I think you won't blame me for not giving you a warm hug."
"I can understand you." Darius snorted disdainfully and strode towards the other party. "Then I'll just walk over."
"That's very good." Swain smiled and opened his arms, revealing his arm that had been assimilated by the devil.
Darius had heard about it a long time ago and was not afraid at all at this time. He held the giant ax and rushed forward.
For a moment, the surrounding guards immediately lowered their halberds - their duty was to prevent anyone in danger from approaching the commander-in-chief.
Apparently, Darius with the giant axe.
Even without the giant axe.
"Is this how you welcome me?" Darius's voice became deeper and deeper, like an enraged lion. "Swain...you did a great job."
"No, no, no, my brother, I will never put up a defense against you." Swain continued to smile and waved his hand to signal all the surrounding guards to retreat.
Soon, the distance between the two was less than half a meter.
Darius did not move closer, and Swain slowly raised his hand.
The dust on the general's shoulder pads was gently wiped away.
"Thank you for rushing back from the Freljord."
"You know that's not what I want to hear..." Darius' voice was still low, "I once openly spoke for you when Darkwill attacked you, but you don't even have a chance to choose at this time. Didn't stay for me..."
"The situation forced it." Swain responded with a smile.
"Situation? Is the situation just to kill first and then tell later? Is it just to coerce Draven to force me?"
Darius could hardly suppress his anger.
He and Swain were old acquaintances, and he had always admired each other's talents and loyalty. For this reason, he did not hesitate to expel Swain from the military in Darkwill and openly spoke for Swain - he even paid some money for it. Not a small price to pay.
But it was such an old friend who ended up treating him like this?
To launch a coup while he was on an expedition to Freljord, and to coerce his own brother, without giving him a chance to choose?
The counselor who had always been loyal to the empire, now became the criminal who personally launched a coup and overthrew the leader of the empire?
"Swain...!"
"Believe me, my brother." Speaking of this, Swain no longer needed to hide it, and immediately said directly: "Darkwill's poison to the empire is obvious to all. I just want to lead the empire to a brighter future. of--"
"That's enough!" Darius finally yelled out and interrupted the other party's words. "You didn't even discuss it with me! You even asked Draven to kill countless old nobles! You are trapping me just for your insatiable ambition and pursuit of power!!"
"I have no pursuit of power, my purpose is just to make the Empire better - nothing more."
"Then you shouldn't have done this to me or Draven!"
"But I won't take this power to myself."
"What else do you want to quibble with?!"
"There will never be a situation where one person controls the empire again."
As he spoke, Swain suddenly turned around and looked at the position above the steps of the hall - there was nothing there.
And there should have been the commander's throne - everyone knew it, including Darius.
"Noxus does not need an emperor. I will establish a new system in which all talented individuals can contribute to the Empire - and receive the corresponding power and status."
"What do you want to do?" Darius frowned and glanced at the nobles in the hall with his peripheral vision.
He saw many familiar faces.
Not only Draven, but also General Kecao and some famous generals.
Finally, he turned his attention to Swain.
The latter just happened to turn around, arms outstretched like a pair of evil raven wings.
"I want to form a new parliament."
"Thereafter, the entire Council will rule Noxus."
"Foresight, force, and cunning are all indispensable; Noxus will reach a new level!"
"The name is... Cuifali!"
---------------------------------------
----------------------
The boat crossing the ocean is about to dock.
Chen Ce's life as a captain is about to end.
In the last "career", he chose to spend time with the ship's second-in-command——
"Deputy Syndra, come out! Take the helm and prepare for one hundred minutes!"
"..." Syndra floated from the cabin walkway to the captain's cabin with a speechless expression.
"Chen Ce, I hope you won't be so naive."
"What's so childish? Am I not the captain?" Chen Ce patted the rudder in front of him and sounded very proud. "This has been my dream for a long time, and now I've realized it!"
"..."
"Deputy Syndra, come out!"
"...I want to refuse."
Syndra sighed secretly - why didn't she realize that the other party was so childish before?
Even if there are only the two of them in the captain's cabin now, and they don't have to pay attention to their image, they can't be so... funny, right?
Where is the deputy at the helm?Isn't this funny?
How can a deputy do such a job?
"Chen Ce, please respect my profession." The girl pointed to the small homemade sign on her chest, "I am the deputy and cannot take the helm. Please don't be so naive."
"That's it...it seems right." Chen Ce nodded thoughtfully, and then continued to steer.
The land on the other side of the horizon is getting closer and closer. In fact, it is no longer necessary to have a person at the helm.
Then, a more important question came: "By the way, Syndra, you were floating in Ionia because you didn't want to touch the First Land, so you will continue to drift in Noxus." Are you here?"
"It depends on your mood." Deputy Syndra replied casually.
"That means it's still possible to walk on the ground, right?"
"Maybe... what's wrong?"
"This involves a very important issue..." Chen Ce suddenly opened the drawer with a mysterious look on his face, and then pulled out a box that had been prepared in advance.
Under the curious gaze of the girl, he slowly opened the box.
Inside is... a pair of high heels.
"Here are you, wear them if you want to walk on the ground in the future." Chen Ce didn't want the other party's originally spotless feet to be stained with mud - then his fantasy would be really shattered.
Syndra's jade feet are the closest to two-dimensional perfect jade feet in the world.
"...Weird shoes." Syndra had never worn these shoes before, and they felt a bit strange, but she accepted them first.
Chen Ce nodded with satisfaction.
But before he could say anything else, the other party suddenly got angry——
Sindra floated up several tens of centimeters, and her jade feet were right in front of Chen Ce.
She looked at the other party condescendingly, with a haughty expression and a joking tone, like a queen teasing her slaves.
"Put them on for me, and I give you permission to take off my foot socks."
Half an hour later, the boat was very close to the shore.
Chen Ce also walked out of the captain's room with an unnatural expression.
And LeBlanc was guarding the door.
"Being bullied again? Tsk, tsk, tsk... I thought you would never be stepped on by a woman, but I didn't expect... Haha, Miss Sindra is really strong."
"This doesn't mean being stepped on, this is just... I volunteered, understand?" Chen Ce said a little harder.
Fortunately, LeBlanc didn't bother to expose his lame excuse. "Let's get down to business, Mr. Pervert who volunteered to be trampled by a bare foot and a sole wrapped in foot socks."
"You don't need to add so many prefixes." Chen Ce said expressionlessly.
"Haha... We are about to arrive at the capital of Noxus. I will take you directly to the Grand Commander's palace later."
"What to do?"
"Join the meeting."
"What meeting?"
"The Council of Trifari."
"Huh?" Of course Chen Ce had heard of this name, but what he didn't understand was...why the other party dared to take him to the meeting so openly.
In theory, the establishment of the Trifari Council is unstoppable.
What's more, LeBlanc's Black Rose is also an "underground organization" that cannot be put on the surface and is not officially recognized in Noxus. It is obviously not a wise move to play the cards during the Noxus coup.
You can't just... just kill all Swain, Darius and others at the meeting, right?
"Sorry, I may not have said it in detail enough." LeBlanc suddenly smiled and then waved.
The next moment, her flawless face was covered with a strange fog, making her unable to see her facial features clearly.
"To be precise, you are the one attending the meeting, not me."
"only you."
"The first step to seizing Noxus."
"Besides, Swain is very interested in you... He has wanted to meet you for a long time."
Chapter 2 Katarina’s second goal
Chen Ce came ashore.
The sky in the capital of Noxus is always gray, as if it is about to rain, and a depressing atmosphere hangs over every corner of the land. The roar of inferior machines is intertwined with the complaints of the coolies on the docks. The ensemble played a steely movement that praised blood, oppression and expansion.
This is Noxus.
Noxus respects the strong.
There is no harmony between man and nature, there is no air full of peace, and there are no monks who help the weak, help the poor, and be kind to others.Here, there is only the ultimate yearning for force and power.
This place is not as peaceful, natural, friendly, and magical as Ionia, nor is it as civilized, polite, and law-abiding as Demacia. The only thing here that can bring people a better life is their own strength.
Here, having power means having everything.
This barren land welcomes everyone equally, whether it is a glorious paladin or an evil black magician, as long as you have enough power, you are welcome here.
Noxus will not require anyone to know etiquette or follow traditions, nor will it treat magicians as savage beasts and forcibly ban magic.The only thing to be banned is trash—Noxus doesn't care for idlers.
Power is everything.
Even the most evil, cunning and despicable villains can win respect, status and money here as long as they have the strength.
This kind of "simple" folk customs is destined to nurture a strong nation.
Chen Ce felt this from the moment he landed ashore - the person in charge of the dock was whipping the dark-skinned slave under his hands for trivial matters.
"What, are you not used to it?"
LeBlanc seemed to notice Chen Ce's uneasiness, and there was a hint of "proud" in his words [This is how Noxus is].
"There are not all kinds of etiquette and etiquette people here, and there are not so many gentle and beautiful purdah girls in Ionia... But with your strength, it is better to get a woman in Noxus than in Ionia. Oniya is much simpler.”
