The next day, Presidio, the resistance headquarters.

With the return of Irelia Navoli Mountains, under her convening and chairing, the high-level meeting of the resistance was convened again.

The masters gathered together just like the day before, but what was different from the day before was:

Not counting Irelia herself and Master Yi, there were 30 masters sitting in this venue the day before yesterday.

They are all the founders of the Placidian Resistance, heroes of Ionia, and Irelia's once-trusted comrades-in-arms.

But now, 6 people "disappeared" in front of her without knowing it, leaving only 24 people.

"Will there be fewer in the future?" Irelia sat in the main seat and suddenly sighed with emotion.

"Yes." Master Qingxia beside her sighed slightly: "The road you are going to take is too difficult and dangerous, and there will always be people who fall behind."

Levi turned on the plug-in to avoid this problem.

But Irelia couldn't avoid it.

If she chooses ideals, there will be fewer and fewer old brothers around her. Some people will "disappear" in the future, and they will definitely do so.

"Yeah..." Irelia felt a little melancholy.

But melancholy did not affect her thoughts. After yesterday's betrayal, reflection and self-awakening, she has grown.

She looked at Master Yi in the audience, and Master Yi secretly gave her an encouraging look.

So Irelia became more determined.

She knows that she may lose many old friends along the way, but the road she wants to take is not a lonely one.

What she chooses is the majority.

"Seniors." Under the hesitant and confused gazes of the masters, Irelia stood up.

Her eyes are firm and deep, and her voice is clear and powerful. Compared with the young and soft girl's posture the day before, her temperament is completely different:

"I think you should have a lot of questions now, right?"

"This..." The masters looked at each other and nodded.

Indeed, now they are full of questions.

They didn't know why Irelia called everyone to a meeting with great fanfare as soon as she came back from the Navoli Mountains.

Why are only Yi, Yasuo, Yongen, Qingxia, and Irelia the only ones who have returned? Where have the six masters including Ravi gone?

How was the negotiation with the Vastayan people? Why did Irelia look so serious, and her temperament changed so much?

In the final analysis, these problems can be summarized into one question:

"Master Irelia, what happened in the Navoli Mountains yesterday?"

The masters vaguely felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and they all looked at Irelia with concern.

Irelia did not answer the question directly.

What she said first was: "This negotiation between us and the Vastayan people can be said to be very successful."

"I agree to return the land, and the leader of the Vastaya Free Army is also willing to take this opportunity to form a strategic alliance of mutual assistance with us."

"The vastaya are willing to establish a joint army with us to facilitate unified coordination and command."

"In the future war against Noxus, humans and vastaya will fight side by side, regardless of you and me."

As he said this, as if to confirm Irelia's words, there was a sound of footsteps outside the venue.

Xia and Luo walked in.

"Purple Crow?!" Kasumi's appearance caused an exclamation. The masters all recognized this legendary Vastayan hero.

You know, Xayah is a well-known extreme anti-humanist element among the Vastayan people.

Therefore, during the meeting the day before yesterday, the masters did not support the return of Vastayan lands.

On the one hand, it is the masters themselves who want the land;

But the other reason is that they all know that with Xia's character, even if humans return the land with good intentions, the Vastayan people may not coexist peacefully with humans in the future.

Before the return, Xia was anti-human; after the return, she was also anti-human.

Then wouldn’t this land be returned in vain?

Five cities will be returned today, and ten cities will be returned tomorrow. If the Vastayan people start making trouble the day after tomorrow, they will have to return half of Ionia?

Because of this idea, almost everyone in the resistance does not support Irelia's decision to befriend the Vastayans.

But now, Xia actually took her boyfriend and put herself in danger, followed Irelia, and came to the headquarters of the human resistance army in a grand manner.

This is enough to show her sincerity.

"The Vastayans are really willing to form an alliance with us?" The masters couldn't believe it.

But this scene actually happened before our eyes.

Miss Irelia, who has always been secretly regarded as a political idiot, has actually achieved such fruitful results in diplomacy.

You know, what Irelia negotiated was more than just an empty paper alliance.

The terms of the alliance she negotiated were:

"Establish an alliance with humans and accept unified command during war."

what does that mean?

This means that the Vastayans have almost given up on their independent path, half-hiddenly joining the Presidenian Resistance Army, and becoming part of the Resistance Army in disguise.

It can even be said that this is a complete reconciliation between vastaya and humans.

Trading a piece of land that originally belonged to the Vastayan people in exchange for a practical military alliance, as well as the development and growth of the resistance army, even seemingly resolved the racial conflicts within Ionia in one fell swoop...

Irelia's actions make her one of the top ten diplomats in the world.

But the problem is:

"Master Irelia." The masters all looked thoughtfully at Xia, who was smiling, and then looked at Irelia: "In addition to returning the land, did you... also agree to any other conditions?

?”

Everyone was vaguely aware that something was wrong.

That piece of land originally belonged to the Vastayan people, and it was impossible for Kasumi to be so grateful to humans just because of this piece of land.

Irelia must have promised some more favorable conditions in order for the Vastayan to return. Everyone thought so.

"What are the conditions? It's considered necessary." Irelia smiled and answered everyone's questions.

The vastaya people indeed chose to reconcile with humans for other conditions, and that condition was not short-term visible benefits, but:

"Windleader." Irelia said: "The vastaya do not want to form an alliance with us, but they want to form an alliance with Windleader."

"This will be an alliance formed by the leader, the resistance army, and the vastayas. We, the resistance army, are only part of this alliance, not the absolute leader."

These words made the masters even more confused.

Didn't Irelia go to negotiate with the Vastayans yesterday? What happened to the Wind Leader here?

"Of course." Master Yi stood up at the right time.

He revealed his identity: "Actually, I am a member of the leader."

Master Yi of the Gale Sword Sect is also the leader?

The masters felt increasingly uncomfortable. Why did the Wind Leader send people to interfere in the negotiations between the rebels and the vastayas? What does this matter have to do with the Wind Leader?

"Of course it does matter." Irelia's tone became colder: "Master Ravi and others colluded with the Navoli Brotherhood and set up an ambush in the Navoli Mountains in an attempt to assassinate me."

"If it hadn't been for the help from the leader yesterday, Leader Xia and I would have become corpses!"

"?!

"Everyone was shocked.

"Master Irelia, is this true?" The masters couldn't believe it.

Although they also had political disagreements with Irelia, Ravi and others' frenzied act of colluding with the Brotherhood to assassinate the leader was far beyond their imagination.

But looking at Irelia's extremely rare cold eyes and the supporting evidence of the Vastayan and Wind Leader factions, the masters had no choice but to believe it.

And only now do they understand why there were 11 people when they went there and only 5 when they came back.

"Ravi and the others..." The masters' expressions were subtle.

"Dead." Irelia responded coldly, "I will kill these traitors and the leaders of the Brotherhood, leaving no one behind."

Masters: "......"

The atmosphere at the venue suddenly became serious and gloomy.

Suddenly, no one dared to put on airs of seniority in front of Irelia.

Only then did everyone remember that the girl in front of them was not some stupid emperor who could be fooled at will, but someone who had become a leader based on her strength.

When facing enemies, she will never show mercy when killing people.
