LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

Unconsciously, nearly a month has passed.

Ionia is moving toward change calmly under the leadership of the leader, but Noxus on the other side of the ocean has become increasingly turbulent because of the changes taking place in this distant land.

That night, outside the Immortal Fortress, there was a noble manor.

If outsiders had not witnessed it with their own eyes, they would not dare to imagine that in the heart of the imperial capital, where every inch of land is precious, and where you can see the Immortal Fortress when you look up, someone could own such a vast manor.

How luxurious, how generous, and how enviable the owner of the manor must be!

Lester had made such a exclamation when he was a boy.

When he fought desperately on the battlefield and became a glorious junior officer of the empire, but after returning but still couldn't afford a shabby rental house outside the Immortal Fortress, he could always think of the noble building in the center of the city. manor.

Later, he understood the problem more deeply.

He knew that the owner of the manor was a certain nobleman of the empire.

These fat nobles hold the highest power in the Noxus Empire and enjoy nearly unlimited high-quality resources. However, they often put their private interests above national affairs, and regard their own interests as more important than the interests of the empire.

Then, Lester gradually understood——

The luxurious life of these people is not worthy of envy, only worthy of anger!

The rich and powerful only know their proud family status, but there are really few people among them who care about the country. The wealthy plutocrats praise their elders without thinking about the livelihood of the people and the country!

They must die!

Lester thought so, and did so. He eventually succeeded.

At this moment, Lester lives in this noble manor that he once only dared to look at from a distance.

The original owner of the manor had been ruthlessly liquidated after Swain came to power, and the manor was also given to his good student Lester by Swain as a reward for meritorious service.

Leicester's dream has come true. He became the owner of the estate.

However, after living in the manor, his mentality was not at all as happy and satisfying as he had imagined. he...

"You're scared, aren't you?"

LeBlanc walked slowly to Lester and looked out the window at the beautiful and open garden with him:

"You are afraid that you will be dragged out of this room without dignity like the last owner, put into a prison car and sent to the execution ground amidst the laughter of passers-by. In the end, everything you have worked so hard to achieve, They will completely disappear the moment the guillotine falls... It’s like you are still the boy from the slums who had nothing 30 years ago.”

"So you are not happy living here. Because you know very well that as long as the leader is not eliminated for a day, this manor will never truly belong to you..."

"That's enough!" Lester interrupted her angrily.

He didn't want to talk to this uninvited woman: "I told you, I won't see you again. You..."

"Don't worry." LeBlanc smiled and sat down by the window: "There are no Swain's crows here. You can speak freely - I promise you."

"We have nothing to say, so you can go." Lester's words were still strong, but his tone had unknowingly softened.

LeBlanc seemed to have read his mind. Not only did she not leave, she sat down at the long table beside her.

"I said it last time." Lester frowned: "I agree with the strategy of giving priority to solving the hidden dangers of the leader, and I am also willing to persuade Teacher Swain to temporarily abandon his prejudices and cooperate with you to fight the enemy."

"But this doesn't mean that Black Rose and I are on the same side - we can never be on the same side, do you understand?"

"Haha." Lester's attitude was firm, but LeBlanc only smiled leisurely: "It seems that you have guessed why I came to see you today, General Lester."

Lester was silent.

Yes, he knows.

Swain made a promise to the generals who radically requested war a month ago, and tomorrow is the time when this promise expires.

Swain said he would reveal the answer at this moment, revealing his true trump card against the leader.

"Of course I want to believe that General Swain has such preparations." LeBlanc is also looking forward to Swain's trump card.

Swain is a wise general after all. Except for the time when he was stabbed in the back by the black rose, he was able to deliver a fatal blow to his opponent by surprise almost every time.

If he says that he has a way to deal with the leader, then everyone must be willing to believe that he really has a way.

"However, we must prepare for the worst." LeBlanc said meaningfully: "If by tomorrow, Commander Swain still refuses to reveal his plan to everyone, and still refuses to launch an attack on the Wind Leader, A decisive battle, then we...may have to take some necessary measures to let Commander Swain give a clear explanation."

Lester's expression was complicated.

Although LeBlanc just said that Swain must give an explanation tomorrow.

However, if their subordinates have the ability to force Swain to give an explanation, then do they have the ability to force Swain to do other things? And if they really do this, can the relationship between Swain and them return to the past?

If not, then should they obediently accept Swain's future liquidation, or should they continue to do nothing...

This is a dead end road with a cliff in front of it. Once you step out, you will never be able to stop.

"You are instigating us to force the palace!" Leicester said the essence of it.

"Teacher Swain has been so kind to me." He clenched his fists quietly: "Even if I die, die outside, or be buried alive in this garden, there is absolutely no way I can betray him!"

"Really?" LeBlanc smiled as she took a simple golden candlestick with complicated patterns in her hand and played with it carefully: "The royal candlestick of ancient Shurima... Tsk, tut, this is from Du Ke Was it copied from the Kao family?"

"When you took this thing back to your home, did you ask for your teacher Swain's permission?"

"There is no need to report such a trivial matter to Teacher Swain." Lester's expression remained unchanged.

The conscience of heaven and earth, he presided over only 30% of the house raids, and 20% of the 30% had to be shared with fellow officers up and down. In the end, I got 10%, and I was able to ensure that the bulk of the 70% was completely handed over to the national treasury.

Take one and hand it over seven. When in the history of Noxus has there been such an upright official like him!

Didn’t you see that after Teacher Swain knew the truth, he also praised him for his bottom line in doing things?

Lester doesn't see this as a betrayal. He deserves these good things.

"Okay, let's just say this is your legal privilege." LeBlanc looked over with a smile.

The eyes of this scheming enchantress were so profound, as if she could see through his soul: "It's pleasant to enjoy this kind of power, isn't it?"

"I..." Lester was stunned for a moment subconsciously.

Yes. Very pleasant.

He no longer had to look at the faces of those old nobles, nor did he have to grovel in front of the lords of the headquarters. Except for a few generals such as Swain and Darius, he has the most respected status in the Noxus Empire.

Today, he holds the highest power of the empire and enjoys the best resources of the empire——

He has become the kind of big boss he hated most back then.

Then Lester realized...it felt so good.

"But how happy you are now, how painful it will be when you lose it." LeBlanc said: "And now, every minute and every second, you are getting closer and closer to your hard-won power. The further away.”

"You must be aware of what happened in Ionia recently."

"The Wind Leader has reached an alliance with Master Karma of the Temple of Eternity, and with the strong support of Irelia, the Kinkou, and the Vastayans... they have completely taken control of the situation in Ionia. .”

"It is no longer possible to expect the masters of Ionia to delay the advancement of the Wind Leader. The Faith of the Wind Leader is now like a prairie fire, and with their great victory, Ionia is crazy spread..."

So LeBlanc can't wait any longer.

She must get an explanation tomorrow.

"Your situation is actually similar to mine, isn't it?" LeBlanc said, "Are you really patient enough to continue waiting?"

Lester: "......"

"And compared to me, you have no way out." LeBlanc said ruefully: "I have what the leader wants, so they won't kill me no matter what."

Give it a try, I will win the world, if you lose...at worst, I will step on a 1,000-year-old sewing machine.

LeBlanc is mentally prepared for the worst.

"And what about you? General Lester, do you need me to remind you how many crimes you have committed in the past decades of war?"

"You only have a few decades in your life...can you accept it if I ask you to step on a sewing machine?"

There was a hint of uneasiness in Leicester's eyes.

He has done a lot of dirty work for the Empire in the past. And he likes to use young soldiers as cannon fodder, just like the perverted and murderous Amystan, who is notorious among the generals of Noxus.

The leader cannot tolerate him. Even if he voluntarily surrenders now, the result may be a long-term labor camp.

Although I can still live, what's the point of living like this?

"I..." Lester looked out the window at the beautiful garden.

This is his estate! He didn't want to lose it and go back to his previous life of nothing.

He hoped that his children could grow up in this beautiful garden, instead of being firmly stepped on by the people in this manor for most of their lives like him.

"But..." Swain's face quietly appeared in his mind again. He didn't want to betray his teacher. Of course, he instinctively did not dare to betray.

At this time, LeBlanc dropped a bombshell: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, General Lester."

"I am not coming to you this time hoping that you will lead everyone to charge into battle tomorrow. I just need you to support us and not hinder our actions."

"After all, when the time comes...General Darius will naturally lead the charge."

"General Darius?!" Lester was extremely shocked: "H-how could he..."

It has only been two months, but that thick-browed Noxian Hand has already become a retainer with three surnames?

"He has already agreed." LeBlanc confirmed in a calm tone: "Otherwise, I wouldn't be sure to make such preparations."

With General Darius leading the charge, and with the betrayal of Lester and other cronies, Naswain was almost completely ignored.

Being left alone, he could no longer mobilize any soldiers. The only thing he needs to worry about is his personal strength.

And Swain's only reliance on personal strength is a hidden demon from ancient times.

"Its power is not more powerful than the Shadow Demon I control." LeBlanc confirmed: "If you cooperate, I am fully capable of snatching control of the Hidden Demon."

"When the time comes to gather the power of the three-headed demons and the elite extraordinary army of the Noxus Empire, we will be able to fight against the Wind Leader."

"Of course..." This was when Swain refused to fight against the leader and the two sides were completely at odds.

LeBlanc also emphasized this point. If Swain could really show any trump card that could deal with the leader tomorrow, she would be willing to cooperate with him wholeheartedly.

"You..." Lester's face showed emotion.

But he still hesitated and tried: "You have revealed so much information to me, and you even told me about General Darius, aren't you afraid that I will make a secret report to Commander Swain?"

"I'm not afraid." LeBlanc said frankly: "Because we have the same main contradiction. General Lester, you don't want the leader to grow up to the point where he can easily crush us with Swain's connivance." ?”

"Besides, General Darius has already expressed his stance. By this time..."

"So what if you snitched to Swain? Darkwill also knew that the nobles were conspiring against him, but what could he do? Could he still kill everyone who opposed him? ?"

When all the nobles turned against the emperor, the emperor was actually in despair.

"Now that General Darius is clearly on our side, the storm is brewing."

This means that there are only two options for Swain's ending.

First, he could really bring out the trump card he promised that was said to be sure to defeat the leader, and calm down the restless military morale in one fell swoop.

Second, he couldn't show the so-called trump card. Then he can only give in in time due to "physical reasons" like Darkwill.

No matter which way these two roads lead to, LeBlanc is happy to see them. Anyway, it would be nice to start a war with the leader as soon as possible.

"I understand." Lester took a deep breath.

War is the general trend and the will of the people. He was just taking advantage of the situation.

"If the leader is not eliminated, the empire will never be peaceful. So..."

"For Noxus..." Lester took LeBlanc's extended hand.

"For our beautiful manor." Leblanc said with a teasing smile.

The two hands clasped together: "Happy cooperation."

.............................

"Hurry and inform Commander Swain that I have something important to tell you!" Not long after sending LeBlanc off, Lester appeared in the Immortal Fortress.

Yes, he's here to snitch.

Lester was indeed persuaded by LeBlanc. But he knew Swain better and knew how terrifying this man was.

As time went by, and two months had passed since Swain came to power, everyone began to doubt whether Swain really had a way to deal with the leader.

But Lester remained convinced of his teacher's abilities.

He believed that Swain must really be hiding some hidden cards, waiting to be revealed tomorrow in two months.

And this trump card must be very powerful, so Swain can not be afraid of the threat of the leader, but can also proudly refuse the invitation of Black Rose to cooperate.

As for what this trump card is, and why Swain had to wait until two months before revealing it...

Do not ask. Asking is part of the plan.

This is obviously a blind trust. But as Swain's student and confidant, Lester had such unreasonable blind faith in this once invincible man.

And since this is the case, since he firmly believes that Swain has a trump card that allows him to not be afraid of the Wind Leader and LeBlanc, then of course he will not betray a man who holds such powerful power.

So, here comes Lester.

"Teacher Swain!" Under the guidance of the guards, Lester came to Swain's office as he wished.

Swain was sitting at the table reviewing documents, his expression serious and calm. It was as if he was completely unaware of the undercurrent surging beneath the Immortal Fortress.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Lester said, "You're here."

"You are the third one to show your loyalty, so you are not too late."

"Huh?" Lester was shocked, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.

"Don't be nervous." Swain said calmly: "Although you have not really kept up with me, at least you have shown enough loyalty."

"This..." Lester didn't understand. What does it mean to "really keep up with him"?

Mr. Swain, where on earth is he... headed?

Lester was puzzled, but facing the teacher's calm face, he still felt at ease inexplicably:

really! Teacher Swain really knows everything that happens secretly!

But Swain was still so calm. Obviously, he really has a trump card!

I came to the right place this time!

Lester was thinking excitedly, and asked cautiously: "Do you know all about the conspiracy that LeBlanc is planning secretly?"

"Almost." Swain put down the pen and paper, raised his head and looked over calmly: "I have been delaying it for two months without any reason."

"Even without LeBlanc's secret connection, you would still be unable to sit still. Wouldn't you?"

"Teacher..." Lester lowered his head in shame.

Hearing the meaning of knocking from Swain's mouth, he quickly made up for his fault and said: "Mr. Swain, I also learned an extremely important piece of news from LeBlanc——"

"General Darius has secretly reached cooperation with Black Rose. If you fail to launch a war against the Wind Leader as promised, they will prepare to launch the 'Second Reform' against you at the Trifali meeting tomorrow... cough cough , launch a rebellion!”

Darius is going to take the lead in forcing the palace, which is indeed fatal news.

But Swain remained calm: "It doesn't matter."

"Darius will turn to LeBlanc, which is only part of my plan."

"Otherwise, without him taking the lead... How many of you cowards would dare to jump out?"

"This..." Lester broke into a cold sweat upon hearing this.

Good guy. Even Darius is Teacher Swain’s man!

From beginning to end, this farce was a trap set by Swain for everyone in order to cleanse the internal "unstable factors"!

He stood in line too promptly this time. Just a hair's breadth away, he was on the wrong side.

"The road I have to take is very difficult and dangerous." At this time, Swain sighed leisurely: "I know that not everyone can keep up with me."

"But it doesn't matter if you can't keep up. I don't require you to have ideals. If you don't have ideals, you can slowly cultivate them in the future."

"But after all, I am your teacher and your boss for so many years. If anyone ignores the friendship and loyalty between teachers and students for so many years for their own selfish interests, then..."

Then he is no longer an ordinary reactionary. A punch must be drawn.

It is impossible for such an ungrateful person to be successfully transformed by a leader. In the future, they will definitely become enemies.

So Swain planned to take this opportunity to first eliminate the most uncontrollable group of potential enemies in these teams.

"As for you..." Swain looked at Lester meaningfully: "At least you are still willing to listen to me now. I hope you can maintain this in the future."

"Huh?" The more Lester listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

Why did Mr. Swain say that? It was as if he was going to do something big that would arouse strong opposition from his subordinates.

"Lester." At this time, Swain revealed the answer to the mystery: "Haven't you always wanted to know why I'm not afraid of the Wind Leader?"

"Yeah!" Lester's attention was immediately attracted to this topic.

In his wildest dreams, he wanted to know what trump card Swain had hidden that allowed him to act so calmly in the face of the threats from the Leader and LeBlanc.

After all, now his fortune, life and happiness are all bet on Swain's card.

"Let me tell you." Two months later, Swain's delaying strategy could no longer delay the attack. And today's leader, who has grown rapidly, no longer needs to be afraid of LeBlanc who jumps over the wall in a hurry.

So he is not afraid to reveal his answer in front of students.

"The reason why I'm not afraid of the Wind Leader is very simple." Swain spread out his palms, and a whirlpool of wind condensed in his palms: "Because, I am..."

"Leader Association, President of the Noxus Chapter."

Lester: "???"
