LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

The next day, the capital of Demacia.

The meeting hall of the palace was now filled with nobles of all sizes who had been summoned by King Jiawen.

Whether they are royal nobles such as the Crown Guard family or the Bouvier family, the demon-forbidden nobles headed by Eldred, or an inconspicuous third-class family like the Laurent family, they are all gathered at this moment. In this meeting hall.

Looking at this scene, it was almost as lively as the triumphal ceremony half a month ago.

"What exactly is your Majesty going to say today?"

Eldred looked at King Jarvan sitting firmly on the throne, feeling a little worried.

He knew that the daily government affairs of the kingdom did not require so many nobles to be present to participate in the discussions.

The old king caused such a big scene today. He must have something very important to talk about.

So, what exactly is he talking about?

The same question also appeared in the minds of all the nobles present.

And their doubts were soon solved.

King Jiawen was seen waving to General Manager Xin Zhao, and soon palace guards led a dozen unfamiliar foreign generals and local officials out of the meeting hall in the center of the capital.

"Your Majesty, they have arrived -"

"This is the Eastern Frontier Corps, Governor of Tobitsia, General O'Cavan;"

"Eastern Frontier Corps, Commander of the Pingze Town Garrison Corps, General Sardin;"

"Eastern Territory, Governor of Brook City, Baron Sykes;"

"..."

The guard loudly called out the names of these visitors, and then slowly withdrew under the subtle gazes of everyone present.

"They are..." Eldred's expression gradually became serious.

He knew very well that these people were local officials from various parts of the eastern border of the Kingdom of Demacia.

In addition to coming from the Eastern Frontier Corps' sphere of influence, they also have one thing in common -

In the territory managed by these officials and generals, the so-called "magic dragon invasion" has occurred in the past half month.

That is to say...

"His Majesty the King, have you summoned all the local magistrates from the East who reported the 'magic dragon invasion' to come here?"

Eldred frowned.

He didn't understand what King Jarvan was trying to do.

Why did you call these people here, in front of so many nobles from Xiongdu?

Could it be that he wanted to openly talk to these local officials in the East about the "magic dragon burning warehouses" that happened in the East these days?

But what's there to talk about?

The Eastern Legion knows exactly what happened when the dragon burned the warehouse, and King Jarvan must also know.

The Eastern Frontier Corps knows that the old king must know, and the old king must also know that the Eastern Frontier Corps knows that he knows...

This is a semi-open secret.

Everyone understands it, but everyone tacitly refuses to expose it.

Therefore, he could not understand what the old king wanted to do.

How can you, King Jarvan, not suffer the consequences of being dumb? Can you publicly reveal the secrets of the Eastern Legion in front of a large public?

Eldred was thinking so.

Then...

"General Sardin, answer the question first!"

I saw King Jiawen's cold eyes sweeping over the Eastern Territory magistrates, and he named one of them unceremoniously.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." A middle-aged officer stood up tremblingly.

"Sadin, you are the commander of the garrison in Pingze Town, right?" King Jiawen asked in a deep voice.

"Yes..." General Sardin's face turned pale.

He is just the commander of a small garrison, and he can only dominate the territory of Pingze Town.

How could this earthly emperor not be nervous when he saw the real emperor now?

What's more, this General Sardine did not follow the normal procedures to "go to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit."

He had just returned to his mansion last night and was eating hot pot and singing when he was suddenly robbed by a group of dragon and bird knights.

He couldn't even figure out what was going on, so he was packed up into a dragon bird by them and flew all the way to Demacia without saying anything. He was also arranged to go to the meeting hall to meet His Majesty the King.

But now that he had arrived at the meeting hall, he discovered that not only His Majesty Jarvan was present, but also all the nobles from the capital of Demacia.

Things have progressed to this point... Even if General Sardin is a pig-brained person, he can still realize that he is in big trouble this time.

"Sadin, let me ask you." At this time, King Jiawen asked in a sharp tone: "Did you report the news about the demonic dragon massacre in Pingze Town to the Eastern Frontier Corps? "

"This..." General Sardin broke into a cold sweat.

He didn't report this matter. It was clearly the big shot above who ordered him to do this.

Most of his hard-earned free wages were taken away by the big shots at the top of the Eastern Border Corps.

Who is he? He is just a wage earner!

General Sardin cursed in his heart.

But this must not be said.

So he gritted his teeth and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty. I reported it."

"Did you witness the entire attack?" King Jarvan asked while flipping through the report.

"Hmm..." General Sardin confirmed bravely.

"Have you seen the appearance of those two dragons?"

"I saw it." General Sardin almost cried.

He was afraid that King Jarvan would ask him next what the two dragons looked like - it had been half a month, and no one had come to investigate during this period, and he had almost forgotten the standard answer taught to him by his superiors.

Fortunately, the old king did not continue to embarrass him on this issue.

But the king quickly asked a more sensitive question: "How many soldiers did you lose?"

"523 people." Sardin remembered this number.

"Is your barracks far away from the residential areas of Pingze Town?"

"Well...there's a certain distance."

Yes. It's about as wide as a street.

"The barracks are so close to residential areas. When the magic dragon attacked the barracks, it didn't cause any civilian casualties?"

"No, no." General Sardin replied desperately.

"That's okay." The old king smiled and said, "You still have some conscience."

Sardin: "..."

Hearing His Majesty the King's barely concealed mockery, he almost fainted from fright.

Helpless, he had no choice but to secretly look at his colleagues from the East who were detained at the scene, hoping that he could get some strength from these fellow villagers who shared the same illness to allow him to persevere.

However, whether it is the governor of Tobitsia, the governor of Brook City, or the generals and officials elsewhere...

These local emperors who usually lorded it over the Eastern Territory and used the name of the Eastern Territory Corps to dominate were all like him at this time, their legs were weak from fear.

no way.

They had never thought before that the Jiawen royal family would bypass the Eastern Border Corps and go directly to the capital to question minions like them.

"It's over, something big is going to happen."

General Sardin already had a very bad premonition.

Could it be that the Jarvan royal family saw that the war had subsided and decided to take advantage of the great opportunity of Noxus' flawless westward march to start "cutting the vassal" against the Eastern Legion?

But...didn't news come out in Xiongdu not long ago that the Jiawen royal family was preparing to attack the Forbidden Demon Sect?

Is the old king crazy? Why did he want to break up with the Demon Searcher Corps and the Eastern Region Corps at the same time, touching the vested interests of so many powerful nobles?

Who gave him the courage?

General Sardin was puzzled. All the nobles of the capital present were also surprised by King Jiawen's deception.

But the old king still insisted on his own way.

He took the report document and continued to ask aggressively: "Since the report says that the magic dragon massacred 523 soldiers in Pingze Town, where are their corpses?"

"The corpse..." Cold sweat gushed out like spring water again: "They were all burned to ashes."

"Nothing left at all?"

"Not a bit left..." General Sardin replied, wiping his sweat.

"Then you know." The old king suddenly asked: "According to previous records, is the flame of Xiongdu Rune Steel Forging Furnace actually hotter than Dragon Flame?"

"I've heard about this." General Sardin didn't understand why the king suddenly mentioned this.

Then, he quickly understood:

"Come here." The old king waved his hand in disgust: "Throw this guy into the rune steel forge and see if it can burn it down to ashes."

General Sardin: "..."

At this moment, he suddenly realized a problem.

Regardless of King Jarvan and the big shots in the Eastern Legion, who will win and who loses in the future.

As a small character, if he didn't obey the king obediently, he would die without a burial place now.

The other Eastern Border officials present, after seeing what happened to General Sardin, quickly understood the survival rules of such a small person.

then...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Wait! I suddenly thought of something!" General Sardin hurriedly changed his words.

As for how he would be retaliated against by the elders of the Eastern Frontier Corps in the future after he changed his story, that was something he had no time to consider now.

In short, people must live first. There is a way to survive.

Not to mention, he didn't come to Xiongdu alone this time.

When General Sardin was invited by the dragon and bird knights to drink tea in the capital, his wife and children were also "invited" here.

This made him even more worry-free,

"Your Majesty Jiawen, actually..." He was about to follow King Jiawen's thoughts and tell the truth about the dragon incident.

But at this moment...

"Roar--"

A dragon roared.

Everyone present looked stagnant, and then looked up at the crystal skylight in shock...

"Dragon?!" the guards shouted in panic: "Dragon! The dragon has entered the palace!"

"Protect Your Majesty!" General Xin Zhao also followed suit.

"What?!" The old king's acting skills were even more superb.

He looked at the giant flaming dragon slowly descending in the sky, and was shocked and said: "There is really a magic dragon?"

"..." There was a brief and subtle silence.

"Oops." Eldred's heart sank.

Although he didn't know why the dragon appeared here, the sudden change in front of him made him instinctively aware of the danger:

Today's good show may not be prepared for the Eastern Frontier Corps - but for him!

Eldred felt increasingly uncomfortable.

Then, he saw King Jiawen, who was "extremely shocked", pointing at the flaming dragon that appeared in the sky and asked:

"General Sardin, this dragon..."

"Is it the same dragon you saw when you were attacked in Pingze Town?"

"This..." General Sardin was slightly startled.

I have never met a dragon at all. Don't you know this very well?

Um, wait...

General Sardin took a second to figure out the holy meaning, and then immediately answered:

"Yes! This is the dragon I saw!"

"I saw with my own eyes that this beast, together with another demon dragon, destroyed the barracks I built. The more than five hundred good boys under my command were also burned to death by them!"

Speaking of sadness, General Sardin couldn't help but shed two rows of tears.

"So that's it..." King Jiawen sighed deeply: "It turns out that the Eastern Legion didn't lie to me, it was me who misunderstood them."

"What about you?"

The old king looked at the governor of Tobitsia, the governor of Brook City, and the dozen or so local officials from the eastern border present:

"Is it this demonic dragon that you encountered before?"

"..." There was a brief silence.

Then, these dozen “witnesses” nodded in unison: “That’s right! That’s it!”

They pointed at Miss Shyvana hovering in the sky and identified her with confidence:

"It's the dragon that attacked us!"
