LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna
Chapter 383 “Saving” His Majesty the Emperor
Almost at the same time, the Lester Chapter was stationed.
Once the residence of a wealthy Ionian merchant, it was now converted into the Chapter's command headquarters in Lester.
Kayn came to the door of General Lester's office and gently knocked on the door: "Teacher Lester, everyone is here."
"Okay." Lester responded in a low voice.
He opened the door and walked out slowly. A black crow stood quietly on his shoulder, looking like his pet at first glance.
But the cold and aloof red child of the crow makes people feel inexplicably as if the Lester under its feet is the pet.
Kayn looked at it thoughtfully.
As Lester's most trusted subordinate recently, he had already vaguely found out that this crow was Lester's teacher and the messenger of the famous imperial general Swain.
Swain and Lester have been secretly planning some conspiracy, and whenever they need to take specific action, Swain will contact Lester through this crow.
"What do they want to do?" Kayn observed Lester's expression uneasily.
He didn't know what the notorious strategist commander was going to do through Lester this time; and whether Swain's action would harm the leader's career.
But through Lester's rare solemn expression, Kayn could vaguely sense that... the big one was probably coming.
And that's exactly what happened.
"Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time." Lester walked out of the study that served as his office and went to the front hall with Kayn.
The hall was already packed with people. All the senior generals and middle- and lower-level officers of the entire battle group are gathered here under Lester's arrangement.
He even invited two leaders of other war groups and imperial generals at the same level as Leicester.
In other words, the people here can at least mobilize the empire's three battle groups on the Balu'e front line, nearly 50,000 elite soldiers.
Less than half of the total strength of the Noxian front line was in the hands of these officers and generals present.
"Two generals." Lester first looked at the two battle group leaders at the same level as himself.
They are also students brought out by Swain, and they are equivalent to Lester's "underclassmen".
"Brothers." Lester looked at his subordinate officers again, scanning the faces that were either confused, nervous, or thoughtful.
Finally, he got to the point: "You all should know the battle arrangements for tomorrow, right?"
"Of course!" the officers replied through gritted teeth.
A general offensive will be launched tomorrow, involving the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops. Of course, the combat deployment must be notified to all grassroots units in advance.
As soon as the officers received this order, which was comparable to "F2A", they immediately fell into a state of confusion and anger.
Players don't want to use their brains, they just want to move the chess pieces forward to attack in an all-round way. This is understandable.
But the problem is: they are not players, but chess pieces charging forward on the front line!
"That old guy Du Cacao must be crazy!" Someone yelled out uncontrollably.
"Yes!" The officers nodded in agreement, not giving Du Cacao any face as the commander-in-chief.
First of all, they were originally Leicester's subordinates, generals from Swain's faction, and they had no interest in Du Cacao, who was born in an old aristocracy.
Secondly, the order issued by Du Kecao for a full-scale attack was indeed something that people couldn't help but scold.
"An army of hundreds of thousands marched into the ravine without hesitation. Is this a battle plan that a normal person can come up with?" The officers collectively cursed Zu An:
"I think it's obvious that he wants us to die! Just like the Battle of Presidence, if these aristocratic bastards hadn't stabbed us in the back, how could we have..."
"That's right." Lester nodded in time.
Then, he pointedly said: "Now that everyone has seen that Du Quecao wants us to die, don't you think... we should do something?
Officers: "..."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the scene instantly became quiet.
The officers and generals who had gathered together to greet Du Quecao's family excitedly now all closed their mouths nervously.
Kayn looked at Lester in disbelief.
They could all hear what Lester wanted to do at this moment: "Mutiny——"
"He wants to launch a mutiny tomorrow and rebel before the battle?!"
Kayn's heart was pounding with excitement.
Tomorrow is the day of decisive battle between the Wind Leader and the Imperial Invading Army. Leicester chose to launch a mutiny at such a critical moment, which undoubtedly gave the leader a huge assist.
He had been lurking in the imperial army for several months, and he never imagined that he could be of such great help to the Wind Leader.
Kayn was so shocked that he couldn't help but wonder if Lester was also an undercover agent placed by the Wind Leader within the empire.
"Why, are you all scared? Or do you all think that I am a traitor to the empire?"
Lester secretly clenched his nervous and sweaty palms, and scanned everyone present with his calm eyes.
Everyone present responded with evasive looks.
Mutiny, this is a big deal that will cause you to lose your head.
No matter how good these officers and generals were with Lester on weekdays, and no matter how grateful they were for his kindness, except for a few close confidants, not many of them dared to stand on his side without hesitation.
"General, general..." Someone boldly reminded: "Tomorrow is a critical moment for the decisive battle between the empire and the leader. If we act against... at this time, I am afraid that it will affect the efforts of the empire in the past few months." What a failure!”
"When the time comes... we will be nailed to history's pillar of shame as rebels forever!"
These words resonated with many people present.
These officers and generals have always been the staunchest supporters of the Noxus Empire.
Although everyone was extremely dissatisfied with the decision-making of Commander Du Cacao and the corruption of the old aristocracy, they could never make up their mind to commit treason.
"Oh, I understand you." Lester sighed: "Soldiers are very simple, and they are all born to be loyal to the country."
"If possible, I don't want to launch a mutiny at this critical moment of war between the two countries. But the problem is that Du Quecao and the old aristocratic faction behind him have made it clear that they don't want to give us a way to survive."
"It's enough to order the whole army to attack the mountain. Don't forget to let us be the vanguard to open the way and use our lives to fend off thunder and test the water for the battle groups under the old aristocracy."
"Think about it..." Leicester looked at the other two war group leaders present: "Why are we the ones who carry out this kind of death mission every time? Just because we were brought out by Teacher Swain. s student?"
"Think again--"
"If we really fight according to Du Quecao's arrangement, even if the empire wins in the end, how many of the brothers here will be able to come out of the mountain alive?"
"..." Everyone was silent for a while.
Lester struck while the iron was hot and said: "Now it is death to follow orders and attack the mountain, and it is death to launch an uprising. It is also death, so why not die to make the empire great again?"
"I hope that everyone will support me, not to lead everyone to betray the empire and surrender to the leader."
"On the contrary... I hope everyone can follow me, follow Teacher Swain, and use the mentality of a ferocious beast to strike a fatal blow at the rotten heart of the aristocracy!"
"W-what?" The officer general was shocked again.
They thought that Lester was trying to persuade everyone to surrender to the leader, but they didn't expect that he would play such a big role.
If you just surrender to the enemy on the battlefield, the feasibility is higher. Although betrayal is shameful, it is not something that cannot be discussed.
But now they are stranded on the front line and unable to protect themselves, and in turn march towards the immortal fortress thousands of miles away - how is this possible?
"Wait..." The officers suddenly noticed that Lester mentioned a person in his words: "Teacher Swain? Is this matter planned by General Swain?"
"That's right." A very familiar voice slowly sounded in everyone's ears: "The empire has become what it is now. Shouldn't the people in power in the Immortal Fortress be held responsible for this?"
It was not Lester who spoke, but the red crow on Lester's shoulder.
"This voice..." The officers seemed to have found their backbone all of a sudden: "General Swain! It's really General Swain!"
Even if it's just a sound. But Lester, who is usually cautious enough to be described as a coward, today boldly said he wanted to rebel... His unusual behavior speaks volumes.
No wonder Lester has the courage to do such a thing. It turns out there is someone else behind him!
Everyone thinks so.
As soon as Swain's voice appeared, the originally tense atmosphere instantly calmed down.
They had followed Swain and won countless victories in the past. They also experienced the humiliation and despair of being backstabbed and framed by friendly forces in the Battle of Placidia.
Swain's majestic image in everyone's mind has never faded. They have also been waiting for the return of the king led by this strategist.
"Everyone." Just listen to Swain say: "Now the people are miserable, and you are in the same situation. The soldiers on the Ionian front, their sisters have to sell themselves to get food. The rice grown by the old farmers , and they can’t eat. The people have no jobs, they are hungry and exhausted. The soldiers in the front are risking their lives to fight for the country, but the rear can’t even pay out pensions.”
"And His Majesty Darkwill never wants us to suffer like this. It is the privileged faction around him that has controlled the spirit of His Majesty the Emperor, making him unable to see the suffering of the people and the true national conditions."
"How can we build an empire with such insects?"
"So, soldiers..."
Swain's voice seemed to have magic power, setting off a prairie fire without even realizing it.
In other words, dissatisfaction and anger have long been piling up in the hearts of the officers. This explosive barrel filled with too much gunpowder finally received a spark that could ignite it.
"General Swain, please give me the order!" The officers straightened their bodies and looked seriously at the red crow that represented Swain's will.
Even the two powerful leaders of the war group who were at the same level as Leicester did not hesitate to participate in the beheading event: "Teacher Swain, please tell us what we are going to do next. How to act."
"What you have to do next is to do nothing." Just listen to Swain's instructions: "After the war starts tomorrow, stay away from the battlefield as soon as possible and prioritize conserving your own strength."
"Yes!" the officers understood.
Selling teammates away is a trick they are familiar with.
This was how they were betrayed by their teammates in the Battle of Presidian.
"What if the leader doesn't know what's good and insists on pestering us?" Another person asked worriedly: "General Swain, you also know. Once the war starts, we won't be able to withdraw if we want to. We can evacuate."
"Don't worry." Swain said meaningfully: "I am good friends with President Levi of the Leader."
"That's it!" Everyone was relieved.
Although Swain could not really be a friend of the bandit leader Levi, the leader certainly did not want to have another enemy.
This is obviously the result of a secret diplomatic agreement between Swain and the Wind Leader.
"What happens after that?" the officers asked again: "What should we do after we withdraw from the battlefield?"
"Waiting." Swain said: "Waiting for a defeat is also waiting for a victory."
"The leader will help us eliminate Du Kecao's battle group, as well as the Black Rose underground forces hiding around him at the moment."
"This battle will greatly weaken the old aristocratic faction and the Black Rose. It will also cause the empire, which has been sinking in the quagmire of war for a long time, to experience an unprecedented shock."
"At that time, we can board the ship returning home, turn around and march towards the Immortal Fortress!"
"Yes! General Swain!" The officers were deeply moved by the wonderful prospect Swain described and responded excitedly.
But someone happened to have no idea and asked inappropriately: "General Swain, I heard you mentioned the black rose."
"Could it be that...the black rose is real?"
Although this place is thousands of miles away from Zaun, they can't see Zaun's newly released movie, nor can they play Zaun's latest "Black Rose Expansion Card Pack".
But this does not prevent the Noxian soldiers on the Baru'e front line from knowing the existence of the Black Rose.
Because the leader's drones drop tons of promotional brochures into their military camps every day.
Considering that the imperial soldiers on the front lines were not able to watch movies or listen to the radio, the leader also launched the comic version of the movie "Swain and the Black Rose" in Zaun at the same time as it was released in Baru'e. .
So now hundreds of thousands of people in the entire army knew that there was a black rose hidden behind Darkwill.
The soldiers were convinced of this street-market conspiracy theory.
But all the officers here are senior talents with a lot of experience. They are less susceptible to enemy propaganda and are generally suspicious of the existence of the Black Rose.
However...
"Idiot!" When someone raised questions about this, they were greeted by the officers' questioning looks with hatred and hatred: "Does Teacher Swain's words not confirm the existence of the black rose?"
"As General Lester said before, soldiers are very simple and are born to be loyal to their country——"
"If there hadn't been gangsters like Black Rose who kidnapped His Majesty the Emperor and caused chaos and harmed the country, how could we have turned our guns and pointed our weapons at the Immortal Fortress?"
"This..." The officer who raised the question was immediately stunned.
He finally came to his senses.
"Damn it!" He saw that he corrected his mistake after realizing it, and cursed: "I see... No wonder Commander Du Kecao issued such a stupid order. It turns out that he was also secretly controlled by the conspirators of the Black Rose. Got it!"
"General Swain is right, we can no longer hesitate... we must save His Majesty the Emperor from their clutches before the Black Rose destroys this country!"
