LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna
Chapter 392 LeBlanc-Swain Alliance? (2-in-1)
With the spontaneous response of aspiring sergeants from all over the country, the sinister plan of the Black Rose illegal political group to kidnap His Majesty the Emperor and conspire to seize supreme power was finally completely shattered by the King Qin army led by General Swain.
His Majesty Darkwill was successfully rescued and voluntarily abdicated due to physical reasons.
General Swain was unanimously elected by all the generals to establish the Trifarian Council to act as the supreme power of the empire, and successfully took office as the first Speaker of the Trifarian Council and the Grand Commander of Noxus.
Swain's faction achieved a decisive victory. At this point, everything seems to have settled.
However, just then:
"Wha, what?!" The expressions of the generals gathered in the palace in the front courtyard of the Immortal Fortress suddenly changed.
Because they all felt two powerful magic waves that they had never seen before, suddenly erupting from the depths of the peaceful immortal fortress.
A magical power was filled with rich fire elements, making the air in this huge palace become scorching.
The other kind of magic is like an endless night and a dark abyss, making people feel inexplicably chilly in their hearts and down their spines.
It was as if there were some unimaginable and terrifying creatures hidden in the forbidden area of the deep palace that had always been mysterious.
They are unscrupulously displaying their terrifying power, unabashedly announcing their existence to the world.
"Teacher Swain?" Lester and others looked at Swain nervously.
"Don't be nervous." Swain frowned slightly, but his expression remained gentle.
He had already guessed the initiator behind this: "This is just that woman showing her power to us."
"That woman?" Everyone asked thoughtfully: "Is it...LeBlanc?"
Thanks to Windleader's vigorous promotion, LeBlanc has become one of the most famous mages in Runeterra today.
There were many young officers from the Piltover garrison present, and they even had LeBlanc limited skin cards produced in Zaun.
So, knowing that the black rose did indeed exist, everyone thought of this trickster enchantress without any difficulty.
"Yes, it's me." Under everyone's alert and surprised gazes, LeBlanc appeared from the shadows with a smile.
Anyway, now that the whole world knows who she is, she simply goes directly from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.
"LeBlanc..." Darius's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "You have been controlling His Majesty Darkwill all these years, right?!"
"Yes." LeBlanc blinked without guilt.
As she spoke, she playfully said to everyone present: "Darkwill's dignified exit is my gift to everyone."
"If you are not satisfied, I can also make him 'wake up' and then take the initiative to pass the throne to General Swain... No, he should be called Commander Swain."
"You bastard! How dare you act so recklessly!" Darius looked gloomy.
When he thought of all the hardships he had experienced in the Freljord in the past few years, as well as the Imperial soldiers who died in vain during the successive Northern Expeditions, he was filled with hatred for the woman in front of him.
The same is true for Lester and others. As soon as they thought of their desperate experience of being betrayed by the Black Rose Backthorn in Placidian, they did not hesitate to raise their weapons towards the woman in front of them.
"Calm down, everyone." LeBlanc only said lightly: "I admit, I have had some issues with you in the past."
"But the past is the past, and the present is the present. In the words of the leader, the main contradictions we each face have changed -"
"Now we can sit down and talk about cooperation."
"Cooperate?" Darius' murderous intent continued: "Maybe you can go to the underworld and 'cooperate' with those soldiers who were killed by the black rose!"
"Now that things have happened, what qualifications do you have to say such things to us?"
"Of course I'm qualified," LeBlanc said with a smile.
As she spoke, she waved her staff gently, and two small "water drops" contained in sealed crystal bottles quietly appeared beside her.
One of the drops radiated a fiery light, like liquid fire.
The other drop is like a miniature black hole, silently swallowing the surrounding light.
Although the magic power they emitted was weak, so weak that it could barely penetrate the body of the crystal bottle, the magic wave was completely consistent with the powerful aura that everyone had previously sensed.
"This is..." Everyone tensed up in alarm.
"The sealed demon." Swain answered coldly.
"Demon of Fire, Tybok;"
"The Demon of Shadow, Antarkan."
Swain named the two demons, even including their origins:
"They are all demons who once followed Mordekaiser. However, Tibok can only be regarded as Mordekaiser's pet."
"And Antakan, known as the 'Messenger of Destruction', is a more powerful and terrifying existence."
"Is this what La Mu told you?" LeBlanc frowned slightly: "You are worthy of being the host of the Secret Demon. You know more than I imagined."
"I am not the host of the hidden demon." Swain corrected him calmly: "I am its master."
"That's right." The crow on his shoulder nodded gracelessly.
"This..." Everyone looked at Swain in surprise.
Especially his arm that grew out of thin air and the red boy crow standing on his shoulder.
Only then did everyone know the source of Swain's power - it turned out that he had subdued a powerful ancient demon!
However, even so, the situation still seems to be LeBlanc's advantage.
There is only one demon on Swain's side, but there are two on LeBlanc's side.
And according to Swain, the shadow demon Antakan is a more powerful being than ordinary demons.
"But you can't control them perfectly, can you?" Swain called LeBlanc's bluff.
He looked at the two demons that were firmly sealed in the crystal bottle and maintained the form of weak "droplets", and said:
"If you can use them as you like without worrying about losing control, then there is no need to seal them as dangerous items."
"Yes." LeBlanc admitted frankly: "The power of the devil is not that easy to control. I am not willing to use it until the 'critical moment'."
She emphasized the words "critical moment".
Clearly, this is a critical moment.
If Swain was unwilling to give her a way to survive, then she would definitely not be afraid to risk losing control and release these two ancient demons.
After realizing this, Lester and others were forced to put aside the hatred and murderous intention in their hearts and listen patiently to LeBlanc.
"Very good." LeBlanc nodded with satisfaction: "Now, we can seriously talk about cooperation."
"What do you want?" Swain asked straight to the point.
"Cooperation, in the literal sense." LeBlanc said: "I am willing to lead the remaining power of the Black Rose to join this empire that will be led by you in the future."
"And I only have two conditions -"
"First, I must have a place in the future high-level empire, that is, the Trifali Council you just founded."
"This is impossible!" They have successfully seized the power of the empire, so why should they give the cake back to their enemies?
Everyone is instinctively trying to object.
But when they looked up, they saw the two drops of demon essence floating next to LeBlanc, as well as her meaningful eyes.
"..." There was silence for a while.
Everyone realized that LeBlanc should indeed have a place in the future empire's top leadership.
For no other reason than for the two "nuclear weapons" in LeBlanc's hands - based on this strength alone, she is qualified to bring in capital and continue to be her thousand-year roly-poly in the new dynasty.
"Also, the second point." Seeing that everyone calmly stopped objecting, LeBlanc smiled and mentioned her second condition.
"This second point is not so much a condition, but a win-win cooperation. You will definitely be happy to hear it——"
"I hope that we can gather all the forces we can as soon as possible and launch a comprehensive decisive battle against the leader."
As soon as these words came out, Lester, Amystan and others immediately showed expressions of excitement.
Except for Swain's calm expression, which makes people unable to read his mind, Darius's cautious eyes without expressing his position, and Derai Wen, who doesn't understand anything but thinks about when he can kill people...
Almost all the officers and generals present were moved by LeBlanc's condition.
"The Wind Leader is my enemy and your enemy."
"If you are not stupid, you should be able to understand that the current Wind Leader Association is rising rapidly throughout Runeterra with an unstoppable trend."
"Today, their faith is only limited to the Twin Cities and has just begun to spread to the Ionia region."
"But what happens next? As long as those poor people who are weak but unwilling to be humble still exist, the faith of the Wind Leader will sooner or later penetrate into every corner of Runeterra like a pervasive virus!"
"At that time, facing a goddess with hundreds of millions of believers and countless fanatical leaders armed with faith..."
"General Swain, how will you and your new Noxus Empire get along?"
LeBlanc described a terrible future for everyone present - an extremely terrible future for all the imperial generals here:
It was as if they could see Janna's faith burning across Noxus like a prairie fire.
And the manor and fields they had finally wrested from the hands of the old nobles would be divided among the fallen serfs;
The gold and silver they earned from the battlefield at the risk of their lives will be used to relieve the poor and save the incompetent and weak who should have been "naturally eliminated";
The lordship they earned by relying on dragon power and lifting their heads will become worthless under the leader's ridiculous creed of "everyone is equal".
Even they themselves will become prisoners from the upstarts of the empire because of the crimes they committed in the past.
Those who are lucky enough will have sewing machines to use, and they can become "classmates" with other generals.
If you have too much dark history, you may be dragged out and hung up as a street light!
this...
Is it tolerable, but who is intolerable?
"Teacher Swain." When Lester thought of this terrible future, he immediately put aside the past hatred between him and LeBlanc: "I think what this woman said is not unreasonable."
"The enemy of our enemy is our friend. Compared to the Black Rose, which has completely lost power, the Wind Leader is now the enemy that poses the greatest threat to us."
"Yes!" Amystan also agreed repeatedly.
As the first Noxian general to come into contact with the Wind Leader, she is now afraid of the Wind Leader to her core.
Although she has been happily running a joint venture with the leader and earning a lot of money through partnership, she knows very well:
Based on the values of the leader, she took pleasure in slaughtering cities at every turn, making the Noxians think that she was an extremely perverted murderer, and she would be liquidated sooner or later in the future.
Not to mention, Riven, who had such a blood feud with her, has now transformed into the president of the Ionia branch of the Wind Leader.
Once the leader rises completely, her beautiful life will be completely over.
So Amystan quickly echoed: "Commander Swain. Now Black Rose still has some strength left, and LeBlanc holds two ancient demons in his hands. His strength cannot be underestimated."
"If we make an enemy of her, I'm afraid it will only end in a losing battle for both sides, and in the end the leader will take advantage."
"Why don't we just do as she said, let's put aside our past hatred and join forces to deal with the Wind Leader Association!"
The successive statements of Lester and Amystan quickly aroused the resonance of all the officers and generals present.
Everyone petitioned Swain: "Commander Swain, let's cooperate with Black Rose!"
Swain remained silent.
He looked at these disciples, disciples, officers and generals who had unanimously supported him as a god not long ago, and asked: "You all think so?"
"Well..." Everyone looked at each other and nodded hesitantly.
It has only been less than a year since the birth of the Wind Leader, and it has grown from a ninth-rate force that made Piltover law enforcement officers tremble when they saw it, to a behemoth that can defeat the Noxus Empire's 100,000 elites head-on on the battlefield.
If they are allowed to continue to grow like this, even the powerful Noxus Empire may have no chance of winning in the future.
And now, although the Noxus Empire lost all the elites of the Ionian front army due to the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Baru'e.
But as long as the empire stops the foolish strategy of fighting on four fronts, it can immediately mobilize several times the elite forces from the three fronts of Shurima, Demacia, and Freljord that were used in the battle of Baru'a.
the most important is...
"I have the Fire Demon and the Shadow Demon in my hands. Commander Swain, you are also the master of the Hidden Demon."
"As long as we cooperate sincerely and gather the power of the three ancient demons, we may not be unable to win even if we encounter the goddess Janna whose faith spread across the oceans 3,000 years ago and has millions of devout believers!"
LeBlanc encouraged in an excited tone. Lester, Amystan and other officers and generals present also echoed in excitement.
She was right.
As long as Swain and her work together and gather all the power of the Noxus Empire and the three demons, there is every hope of destroying the current leader.
but...
"I refuse." Swain said firmly.
"What?" LeBlanc's smile froze on her face.
She didn't expect that Swain would refuse this invitation to cooperate that was a sure bet.
"Teacher Swain!" Lester and others also shouted in surprise. They were shocked and cursed, but they did not dare to use strong words: "You, you...don't think about it anymore?"
Swain looked at Lester and others coldly: "Have you forgotten?"
"What did the Black Rose do to our comrades-in-arms and the soldiers of the Noxus Empire in Presidence that year and in Baru'e yesterday?"
"This..." The generals were suddenly speechless.
Yes, they have a deep grudge against Black Rose.
In Presidence, Black Rose ordered them to "cooperate with reinforcements and bloom in the center." As a result, they foolishly went to the enemy's "center" but did not receive reinforcements.
In Baru'e, LeBlanc even more sinisterly used them as a human battery to "charge" Yin Lisi and Vladimir, deceiving them into using them as sacrifices and cannon fodder.
If they hadn't jumped back in time and ran fast enough, they would have become a pile of rotten meat that had been sucked dry and swallowed up! ,
And this is just their feud with LeBlanc.
Swain himself has a deep hatred for Black Rose.
He fell into LeBlanc's trap when he was young and killed his parents with his own hands. Darkwill, who was both his king and his friend, was secretly turned into a mentally disturbed puppet by LeBlanc.
LeBlanc is undoubtedly the greatest sinner in the history of the Empire.
Whether it is from a personal emotion or a politically correct perspective, Swain has every reason to refuse to cooperate with LeBlanc.
"You..." LeBlanc's expression turned ugly: "Swain, I thought you were a smart person."
"Now the leader is our number one enemy. What's the point of mentioning those past grudges?!"
"Yes, yes." Leicester and others struggled for a long time, but finally couldn't help but raise their opinions: "Teacher Swain, people who do big things can't take into account the small details... Let the past things pass."
Unconsciously, everyone is on the same side as their initial enemy, LeBlanc.
Instead, Swain became the loner with no one to support him.
But his attitude remained decisive: "I said, I refuse."
"Don't make me repeat it a third time." Swain's cold eyes swept over everyone present, and instantly suppressed the hearts of Cester and others who were about to move.
His majesty is still there. No one dared to openly oppose his decision on his first day as commander-in-chief.
But LeBlanc doesn’t accept this.
"Swain!" she asked with an unpleasant tone: "What are you thinking! If you don't cooperate with me, do you want to defeat the Leader of the Wind alone with this broken Noxus Empire and a hidden demon? Who?"
yes! Lester and others didn't dare to say it directly, but everyone thought so.
Facing the leader who was gaining momentum, they felt a little panicked.
Unexpectedly, Swain's answer was as calm as ever: "Of course I have a way."
"What can you do?" LeBlanc asked.
"I have no obligation to tell you." Swain looked blankly as if he were looking at a dead person: "But please don't forget - just yesterday, I was probably still a useless person in your eyes."
As soon as these words came out, the restless people at the scene immediately calmed down.
Only then did everyone remember:
yes! Their boss is the wise general Swain. With a wise general and a wise general, can he still perform anti-intelligence operations?
Swain must have a deep meaning in his choice.
Just like he quietly became the master of the hidden devil and quietly accumulated the power to overthrow the Black Rose...
I'm afraid Swain had secretly prepared a trump card before he launched the coup, which he would use against the leader in the future!
"You, you..." LeBlanc was a little panicked.
Looking at Swain's wise and unwavering eyes, even she couldn't help but think...
Did this guy really have some secret trump card that made him even look down on the two ancient demons in her hand?
"I won't kill you." LeBlanc was extremely nervous. Fortunately, Swain did not immediately reveal the possible trump card and seek revenge on the spot.
He said calmly: "Because I know that you still have the seal of the Well of Death."
The Well of Death, also known as the Well of Souls, is where LeBlanc’s true united front value lies.
The so-called well of death is a weak gap between the material plane and the underworld, a plane passage connecting the world of the dead.
Mordekaiser originally built this immortal fortress around the Well of Death to protect it.
It was through conspiracy and design that LeBlanc cut off Mordekaiser's connection with the well of death and sealed the source of his power, and then kicked the resurrected tyrant of the underworld back to the underworld. .
In other words... LeBlanc still holds a seal in her hand that can destroy the world at any time as long as it is opened.
And this is where her true united front value lies.
Of course, LeBlanc herself would never open this seal as long as she was not forced to a dead end.
After all, compared to Mordekaiser's horrific methods that make life worse than death and never have peace in death... LeBlanc would rather accept the 1,000-year labor camp of the Wind Leader.
"So, I won't kill you." Swain said calmly: "But I won't cooperate with you either."
"Go away. Don't let me see you again."
"You..." LeBlanc gritted her teeth in anger.
She took the risk of stepping on a 1,000-year-old sewing machine and came here to bet on this collaboration!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but regret that she had not taken the risk earlier in Zaun.
After a battle in Balua, 0 years turned into 300 years. Now it has changed from 300 years to 1000 years...
"Damn it!" LeBlanc couldn't accept it.
Just like those Piltover plutocrats who were willing to die to preserve their industry, and now these imperial generals who are unwilling to lose their privileges no matter what, LeBlanc has also become accustomed to being the master of this world.
She doesn't want to accept a life where her destiny is controlled by others.
She was willing to risk her soul falling into the underworld and being tortured by a tyrant for eternity to get rid of Mordekaiser's control;
Now of course she is willing to take the risk of 1,000 years of forced labor and gamble on an unfettered free life.
Not to mention, the entire Noxian Empire has been her servant for nearly a thousand years.
Countless Noxian soldiers went through life and death, and through bloody battles again and again, collected for her the ancient holy objects, rune secrets, and magical knowledge that she longed for, and finally satisfied her infinite thirst for knowledge and power.
LeBlanc doesn't want to lose all that.
"Swain, since you said you have a way to deal with the Wind Leader, then..." LeBlanc calmed down and asked a key question: "When do you plan to take action?"
These words immediately aroused the restless hearts of everyone present.
They are all afraid of the rise of the leader, and of course hope that this war will come as soon as possible.
Swain's response, however, was: "No comment."
"..." LeBlanc narrowed his eyes.
Then, as she expected, these words aroused concern among the officers and generals.
Although they all trusted Swain's resourcefulness and decision-making, Swain refused to reveal anything about his plan to deal with the Wind Leader.
They know nothing about the future. At the same time, the leader is growing rapidly day after day!
"I understand." LeBlanc quietly observed the expressions of everyone present, and finally a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"I will give you some time to think about it, Commander Swain. I believe... you will make the most correct choice when I visit next time."
As he spoke, LeBlanc's figure slowly disappeared into the shadows and quietly disappeared in front of everyone.
She left, leaving behind a strange and depressing atmosphere.
Lester, Amystan, and everyone present were restless, and even looked at Swain with implicit dissatisfaction.
Look at this posture... If it weren't for Swain's power and intimidation, they might not be able to bear it now and express their dissatisfaction to him.
"That... Commander Swain." Darius, after a moment of silent thought, stood up and said to Swain:
"The Wind Leader is indeed a serious problem for the empire." As a standard Noxian soldier, he certainly would not have a good impression of the Wind Leader who had already fought against the Empire.
At the same time, he also sincerely suggested to Swain: "If you have a plan, it is best to reveal it to everyone. This way the soldiers can have peace of mind."
"Otherwise..." Darius looked at everyone present hesitantly, and finally said bluntly:
"Otherwise, everyone can still accept it in a short period of time. As time goes by..."
As time goes by, no matter how great your prestige Swain is, you may not be able to suppress the opinions of the generals.
Everyone hopes to have a decisive battle with the leader as soon as possible. If you delay in fighting, then...
"I'd end up like Darkwill, wouldn't I?" Swain said.
As soon as these words came out, Lester and others were immediately frightened out of their wits: "Teacher, I, we never meant this!"
"I hope so." Swain was noncommittal.
He knew that just now LeBlanc could confidently say "He will definitely agree to cooperate next time" because this woman could see through the minds of the generals present.
He knew even more that the path he wanted to take was destined to be different.
If these generals don't completely change their thinking, they will side with LeBlanc sooner or later. They would even join forces to force him to compromise with the Black Rose.
By then, the defeated Black Rose will be completely resurrected in Noxus.
And if he doesn't want to betray everyone, he can only choose to cooperate.
But that's okay.
"It's a good time." Swain felt that LeBlanc came just at the right time.
He looked indifferently at everyone present, his disciples, his trusted subordinates, and even his comrades and brothers.
"How can you be sure if you don't go through the test..."
"Who can make it to the end?"
