Struggle in Valoran

The same journey as being held by Sejuani Princess did not last long. Li Ke and the others returned to Ashe’s clan. But although the time is not very long, the increasing wind and snow slowly buried what happened here. Of course, the scouts of the Frost Guard and the Noxus people who followed their generals here. The conflict that occurs is another matter.

“I’m sorry, because I don’t like drinking, so we use hot water instead of the bar.”

Li Ke and Darius sat in the chamber of Ashe, the atmosphere There was a moment of silence. Even if Li Ke made people serve hot tea, Darius and Draven still just looked at Li Ke in silence. Only when Li Ke put the tea in front of him, Darius drank the rapidly cooling cup of tea after watching Li Ke for a while.

The hot tea is indeed unforgettable in this kind of weather, but Darius’s mood has not eased in any way.

“You don’t kill us or lock us up for torture. What is it for?”

If this problem is not resolved, he will not be relieved.

“Because what I long for is peace, and if I treat you like this, peace will not come.”

What Li Ke wants is to give Ai Xi a sufficient development. Time, after all, at this point in time, the Noxus have not been defeated in Ionia, and Darius has deviated from his original destiny because of himself. So Li Ke wants Ashe to build an empire before the chaotic world where the “plot” begins, it takes more than his own efforts.

“The emperor sent me to let me conquer this land for the empire, so no matter what you say, I will not agree. Because if I agree to any of your conditions, it will be for the empire. Create a new enemy, a mighty enemy.”

Darius will naturally not fail to see this. Although he is known for his bravery and good combat until now, he is able to climb to this position. How can it be that there is not enough strategic awareness and political acumen? He immediately understood that Li Ke wanted to buy a developmental time for the woman named Ashe next to him, and then create a powerful force on this frozen soil.

“You can’t say that, didn’t Piltwoff and Zaun also prospered because of your war? Sometimes the enemies are not untradeable, and there is some tacit understanding between them.”

Li Ke gently laughed, because he knows a little bit of the plot, he knows that Noxus until now has coveted Piltworth and Zaun for a long time, because it is not only the center of trade in the Valoran mainland, but also a The two nations became more prosperous because of the war waged by the Noxus people. So many times when Noxus people use weapons produced by Vi and Zaun, they will have a question.

Why is it not Noxus that produces this weapon, but a group of cowards who only talk about money.

The bottom layer is like this, not to mention the upper layer. They have great demand for Piltoff’s technology and Zaun’s tenacious, sturdy, hard-working people, so It’s not a day or two for Noxus to plan on these two cities. It’s just that their front line is too long because of the emperor. They are basically fighting everyone around them. At this time, if you go to provoke that powerful weapon supplier, Noxus It will really be dragged down.

And most importantly, the emperor Your Majesty seems to care about Vi’s bionic technology, so there is not much movement until now.

“Unlike that, conquering Freljord is the mission given to me by Noxus!”

Darius naturally can’t bear the Vampiric Sceptre lying on the empire and making a fortune in the war. Vis, but they are allies after all. Unlike Freljord, who was clearly identified as an enemy and conquered target by the emperor, there is nothing to say between them.

“But you should also know that there is no point in conquering this land. Although I admit that the savagery of Freljord’s raiding group is something that my slave knows, but in fact, it solves these tribulations. The regiment is not too difficult, and your previous methods of wooing neighboring tribes can be said to be very effective, and Noxus can indeed conquer this land when serious.”

Li Ke also took a sip of water. , Then looked at Darius.

“But what can Freljord bring to your empire? I think the most valuable thing is only those proud fighters? And for those who are willing to join you, you There is also a god and countless iceborns to fight on this ice sheet. And there are countless materials to be consumed, and countless powerful warriors who will die on this land?”

Li Ke is very sure that Darius was sent to this place. After all, everyone understands how such a ghost place is for a feudal dynasty that maintains a cold weapon war. Because the food produced in this place is not enough for their own people, that is to say, as long as they dare to station troops in it, all materials must be drawn from the treasury. They simply cannot get any supplies in this place. The paper for wiping the buttocks, they all have to be transferred from China, otherwise it will be useless.

How old is Freljord? It is about the same size as Noxus. And even if a fortress was stationed in such a large area for more than ten kilometers, the food and materials consumed in a year would be enough for the Minister of Finance to fight anyone.

Ordinary Noxus soldiers can wear a complete and sturdy armor, and don’t have to worry about the consumption of weapons, but they are human after all. They are fully armed to march on the ice field for a day or two. There is not much battle strength, it must be repaired. What about the Freljord people? Although weapons and equipment are not very dominant, they are a group of people who often barely eat for two or three days in the wind and snow, and then immediately fight with other tribes.

And the most important thing is that Freljord has an open creature like the iceborn. They are active for a month. They only need to bring enough food for a week, and dozens of people can match thousands of troops. Only silly commanders and commanders with modern firepower can live with this kind of existence in the ice field. Fight a protracted battle.

If it is Noxus who has not started fighting in all directions, Freljord may have a problem, but it is not a particularly big problem. But now they are not only at war with Demacia, but also with countless small countries around the empire, and they have sent a large army to fight Ionia across the oceans, plus the Shurima who also wants to cross the oceans to attack, With a huge fleet to guard against Bilgewater to ensure the safety of the route, Noxus is basically an enemy of the whole world except for not fighting Shadow Isles.

What? Giant God Summit?

Do you think they don’t fight!

So as long as they dare to substantively occupy Freljord, then Li Ke is sure that Freljord will become the graveyard of the Great Empire even without him making trouble.
