LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

On the edge of Wuji Village, on top of the towering rocks.

Zed was alone, sitting cross-legged, looking deeply into the distance, as if he was concentrating on thinking.

"Hey." A voice said from behind.

The one who comes is Yi.

Although he and Zed only knew each other for three days, after experiencing a life-and-death battle at Yipu River Port, they could be regarded as friends who trusted each other with their lives.

The current Master Yi is still a young man who is full of curiosity about the outside world, and has never experienced the tragedy of his family being destroyed and his sect being destroyed in the "future", so he still has a familiar frivolous temper when facing outsiders.

"Jie, what are you doing here alone?" Master Yi sat down next to this man with a cold temperament, no matter whether Zhe was willing to pay attention to him or not.

"..." Jie glanced at him silently.

Then, he looked at the distant cottage that was used as a meeting room by the leader, and there was a distant sound of lively discussion.

These sounds are very vague to ordinary people, but they are clearly distinguishable to extraordinary beings like Jie and Yi.

"I'm listening to the Wind Leaders' meeting," Zed said.

"Eavesdropping?" Master Yi raised his eyebrows.

"They know I'm here." Jie didn't even look back: "Don't forget. That Mr. Levi is more powerful than you and me."

"Haha... yes." Yi smiled.

However, looking at Jie's cold face that seemed unchanged for thousands of years, he suddenly didn't know what to say. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to get up and leave.

But at this time, Jie stopped him: "Wait, Yi."

"What?" Yi sat back in confusion.

"I want to ask you a question." Zed said, "A question I'm thinking about."

Then he asked: "If the Noxians are driven away, are you still going to follow the Wind Leader?"

"This..." Yi knew why Jie asked him this question.

Because their situations are actually relatively close.

He is the representative of the Wuji Sword Sect, and Jie is the leader of the Shadow Stream Sect.

Strictly speaking, they are all independent forces. They have only temporarily come together for the common goal of fighting the Noxian invasion and protecting the people of Ionia.

Now that the massacre crisis in Balu'e Province has been temporarily alleviated, Zed has to think about the next cooperation issue with the Wind Leader.

It is certain that we will continue to cooperate, but for how long and to what depth?

"Well..." Yi Ye hesitated about this question.

Fighting the Noxians with the Leader, he must have signed up to form the team without a second thought.

But the problem is that in addition to driving away the Noxians, the Leaders also have a lofty goal, and that is...

"Seize the power of Ionia." Zed said meaningfully: "When they just met, they unabashedly emphasized this point again."

Winning political power in Ionia, this simple sentence, can contain countless bloody events behind it.

You must know that Ionia is now full of militia groups, rebels, and countless independent forces, large and small. To seize the power of all Ionia from them...

It is almost obvious that after the Noxians withdraw, Ionia will usher in an even more chaotic civil war.

"..." Master Yi became even more confused.

Their Wuji swordsmanship emphasizes not being stained by the world and dirty blood.

He took his junior brothers and sisters down the mountain to resist the Noxian invaders, which was already a violation of the sect's rules.

How could he continue to follow the Wind Leader to stir up the civil war in Ionia and use Wuji Kendo to fight against the Ionians?

but...

Somehow. After having in-depth contact with the leaders these days and seeing their ideals, enthusiasm and endless energy, Master Yi instinctively joined this team.

So he was confused and simply threw the question back: "Jie, what do you think?"

"Me..." Zed thought for a while, but only answered vaguely: "The situation I face is more complicated than you."

His previous betrayal of his master and division of the balance were all planned by his master, Master Kushuo.

Therefore, although his Shadow Stream Sect is currently an independent force that is absolutely loyal to him, it is not that independent.

Master Kushuo has now changed his name and become the leader of the Navoli Brotherhood.

This good disciple of his has actually been secretly following the orders of Master Kushuo, leading his Shadow Stream Sect to indirectly work for the Navoli Brotherhood.

However, the Navoli Brotherhood's increasingly extreme behavior in recent years has made Zed secretly frightened.

Therefore, he subconsciously had the intention to break with Master Kushuo and completely change the family.

Therefore, there are 3 options before Zed:

Continue to hang out with the Navoli Brotherhood, go it alone, or... follow the leader?

It is not easy for Jie to reveal these secrets to others.

So he only said pointedly: "After Noxus leaves, civil war will inevitably occur in Ionia."

"When the time comes, what choice should the Wuji Sword Sect have? Should we stay on our own, follow the leader, or the Navoli Brotherhood?"

Master Yi was troubled by the question that was thrown back at him.

Returning to the mountains and being alone is undoubtedly the most consistent with the Wuji spirit.

But these 20 days of active birth have given him a passion to participate in "mundane things" and change the world.

Now Yi no longer wants to go back to the mountains and stay there forever. He also wants to make Ionia better through his own efforts.

But...

"Can this be achieved only through war? Is there no option to avoid war?" Yi asked.

"Impossible." Jie gave a rare smile because of this innocent question: "Ionia, you will never be able to return to the Ionia you were before."

Ionia has been driven out of its national consciousness by Noxus, and all forces have risen rapidly in the war.

They have changed from the sect elders, clan leaders, and powerful men in the past to the emperors who now command thousands of armies, hold great power, and each dominate their own side.

Even if the war ends, they will not be willing to give up their power and regress back to their original elders, clan leaders, and village chiefs...

Or even more ambitious:

"Just like the Brotherhood of Navori now." Zed looked complicated when he thought of his teacher who was suspected of having corrupted ideas: "They want to unify the entire Ionia and make Ionia a country that surpasses Noxa. His vast empire will make Ionia great again."

Unknowingly, the Master of Balance, who had hesitated for a long time before killing a chicken, now wants to be the First Emperor of Ionia...

And there are definitely more than one careerist like Master Kushuo in Ionia, which is now full of kings.

Now there is a leader in Ionia, a new force that clearly wants to control the entire Ionia.

Civil war was almost inevitable.

After careful consideration, Jie discovered:

"If we don't want to be alone, then in the future we will have to choose between the Leader and the Navoli Brotherhood to follow."

"This..." Master Yi was puzzled: "Why are there only these two factions?"

"I've heard a lot of news from outside the mountains recently. The strongest resistance force in Ionia now shouldn't be..."

"The one that once defeated the Noxian army head-on, the Placidian Resistance Army?"

"The Placidian Resistance?" Zed couldn't help but laugh at Qi Yi's naivety: "You mean, that little girl named Irelia and the troops she led?"

"Yeah." Yi nodded.

Irelia is the legendary hero who defeated the Imperial Commander Swain.

The Placidian Resistance Army she led is now the strongest anti-imperial force in Ionia.

The key is:

She herself is a traditional Ionian with a peaceful personality. She advocates opposing war and violence. She is not as ambitious as the Navoli Brotherhood and advocates restoring Ionia to the peaceful environment of the past.

"This is where she is doomed to fail," Zed said.

He has analyzed before that Ionia can never be restored to its original state.

Therefore, Irelia's so-called "return to tradition" proposition is, to put it bluntly, a lie. It has no political proposition at all.

"Everyone has followed her through life and death. We don't want to throw away power, disarm and return to the fields after driving away the Noxians, and go home to farm the land honestly."

Maybe some people think so, but there are definitely not many people who are so simple and free.

More people, like Master Kushuo, have slowly tasted the sweetness of power in the process of resisting the invasion of the empire.

They won't let go.

"Irelia is a person without ambition, which is admirable."

But a person without ambition can only be a hero, not a leader.

A hero only needs to sacrifice for others.

But leaders need to seek benefits for their followers.

If you can't do this, just wait to be ignored by your subordinates.

"This little girl is only 15 years old. She is too naive." Zed said: "In fact, even in today's Presidio Resistance Army, she no longer has much say."

"Irelia is more like their spiritual idol than their actual leader."

"How can such an organization with no leader, no program, and no clear political proposition achieve anything?"

Although the Navoli Brotherhood is very ambitious, even though their political ideas are almost copied from the Noxus Empire...

It's like a good student learns to be a gangster after being beaten up.

But no matter what, at least they have political opinions.

Those who follow the Brotherhood know that what they want is a great Ionian empire that can give them back lands and privileges.

But Irelia just wants to go home and farm after fighting...How can everyone follow her?

"That's why I said that the only ones who can succeed in the future are the Wind Leader and the Navoli Brotherhood." Zed concluded.

The four major sects of Ionia, namely Kinkou, Everlasting, Shuoji, and Sirana Monastery, are all just housekeeping dogs who abide by tradition.

Arielina is famous but has no ambition or ambition, so she can't achieve anything big either.

Among the heroes in the world, only those who lead the way can be heard by brothers.

"This..." Yi was stunned for a moment.

He thought carefully about Zed's words and said, "Zed, if there are only two options: Wind Leader and Brotherhood..."

"Then do you still need to choose?"

The answer actually appeared deep in Jie's heart.

It's just that he was worried about the master-disciple relationship with Master Kushuo and didn't want to face it.

The Brotherhood's vision is to establish an Ionian Empire.

No matter how great this empire is, its upper limit is the Noxus Empire they copied.

So, how are the people of the Noxus Empire doing now?

In contrast, the political views of the leaders are...

At this moment, Li Wei's firm voice in the meeting came just in the wind:

"Our first step in transforming Ionia is to carry out a thorough land and social reform——"

"We want to make the untouchables no longer humble, make the poor not poor, let the tillers have their own land, and let all the oppressed Ionians stand up and take charge of their own affairs!"
