[0223] Indigestion
In Ionia, although LeBlanc's sneak attack ended in failure due to Yasuo's intervention, the Trickery Enchantress was not without success in this battle with Syndra.
The most obvious point is that she has learned a way to fight against powerful enemies - using the Silence Chain as a straw to directly absorb the opponent's power.
LeBlanc used this method to successfully counter Sindra last time, and even almost won the victory directly.
So this time, LeBlanc repeated her old trick. With the help of the Enchanted Shadow, she avoided Swain's demonic hand. After throwing away the silencing chain, she directly began to absorb Swain's power.
However, unlike Syndra, Swain's power, although equally powerful, is a bit too complex - the devil's power is not Syndra's pure negative energy. LeBlanc's repeated use of the same trick was successful.
I got myself into a trap.
The demon's wild laughter echoed in her mind, and LeBlanc almost vomited on the spot. Seeing Swain's demon arm grabbing at her again, LeBlanc reluctantly used the second stage of the Shadow Shadow to avoid it.
Oops!
The sneak attack failed, the absorption failed, and her mind was filled with the devil's wanton laughter. LeBlanc was in a very bad state now.
Although LeBlanc's long life has given her a relatively tenacious spirit, facing the devil's will directly without adequate preparation still makes her a little overwhelmed - and now, she can no longer care.
Go to Swain, and the rebels can only fend for themselves!
After LeBlanc turned around, she didn't look back. As a spellcaster, she showed quite amazing mobility. After leaving a series of mysterious traces like footprints, she quickly disappeared into the night.
Swain hesitated for a moment and finally did not choose to chase him - looking at the speed, he really couldn't catch up.
The demon wings just look cool, but so far, Swain has not mastered the skill of flying.
No longer looking at the direction LeBlanc left, Swain turned back to the battlefield, and then used facts to prove the demon's terrifying lethality.
The demon's open wings covered the bright moon and stars. Wherever Swain passed, life was sucked out and his soul was wailing. No one could stop the demon's footsteps!
All he had to do was stretch out his hand and squeeze, and several seemingly elite warriors turned into a pile of mud. Just a quick glimpse of the devil's eyes caused the hard-hearted warrior to remove his armor and lose his helmet!
This is the power of the devil, this is the new Swain!
……………………
This sudden attack did not last until dawn.
After LeBlanc left and Swain joined the battle, in less than an hour, the team that Black Rose had placed high hopes on completely collapsed.
Under the gaze of the devil's eye in mid-air, these determined warriors finally dropped their weapons one after another, howling at the top of their lungs with unknown meaning, and fled towards the dark night.
Although the 3,000-man team suffered less than 1,000 casualties on the spot, the organization had completely collapsed. Many of the veterans who served as squad leaders had lost their will to fight. When things have developed to this point, Swain can be said to have won a complete victory.
Got it!
The next step was to clean the battlefield and accept prisoners. Because the team collapsed, there were not many prisoners left for Swain. He threw the corpses into the fire that had not been extinguished. The battle finally ended.
It was brought to a successful conclusion.
The soldiers and farmhands began to cheer and celebrate their own survivors, while Swain thought about his next move.
Although he was ready to seize power, it was undeniable that LeBlanc's surprise attack had forced Swain into a corner.
Swain now has to either surrender or fight back. There is no third option!
And Swain, who clearly realized this, did not hesitate, directly gathered the team and raised his own banner.
"Down with Darkwill!"
……………………
Because of the Black Rose, Darkwill took a lot of blame.
Many of Black Rose's actions were carried out in the name of the emperor, and were publicly announced to all parties in the form of imperial orders - and many mediocre people who were loyal to Black Rose also took this opportunity to steal high positions.
The Black Rose is such a cancer that is parasitic on Noxus, and Darkwill is this cancer, clinging to Noxus' tentacles.
Swain did not choose to "clear the emperor's side", but simply defeated Darkwill, because the emperor has now become a perfect target to take the blame - in addition, although he has already fought with LeBlanc
After a fight, she still had no intention of really fighting to the death with Black Rose.
Ionia has huge external pressure, so why not Noxus?
Although in order to stabilize the environment, Swain would choose a relatively shameful method to end the war, and even repeatedly showed weakness in front of Yasuo, but... he has never been a traitor!
In Swain's eyes, he is indeed losing the interests of the empire, but these benefits are temporarily unavailable - when the empire needs it, he will get back all the capital and profits!
Unlike Yasuo, who can flip the table with his military exploits, after experiencing the humiliation of failure, Swain can only choose to dance with shackles, fighting with one hand and compromising with the other, so that he can continue on!
To Darkwill, fight.
With black roses...maybe a little compromise is needed.
After all, at this juncture when I have just won, the benefits that can be obtained by compromising may be the greatest.
In this way, Swain finally took the lead in proposing the initiative in Triwell under the banner of "fighting Darkwell".
The proposal is very long, but there is only one core content - unite the lords from all over the country to remove that bastard who only knows how to cause trouble and has no ability from the position of emperor!
As the proposal was issued, Swain immediately showed his amazing connections and skills. As a defeated general, he not only received the support of many lords, but also the support of many senior generals!
……………………
Seven days later, Yasuo, who finally received the news in Ionia, was shocked when he learned that the Noxians had begun a civil war.
Although he did have a hand in the internal affairs of Noxus...but it shouldn't be to the point where the whole thing turned from a conspiracy into a civil war, right?
While Yasuo looked stunned, Irelia felt a burst of joy - while reaffirming her sweetheart's overall view, she was also full of confidence in the next internal reform of Ionia.
Chapter completed!
