When Lester opened his eyes, his severely damaged body had completely recovered. His skin was as smooth as jade and was more delicate than that of a newborn baby. However, this was not the most noteworthy part for Lester. Compared with before, after absorbing the rune fragments this time, he could clearly see the flow of magic elements, and the original elemental 'pixels' of the mold lake became clearer and turned into high-definition images.
Although he still couldn't mobilize the magic elements to cast spells, he could clearly feel that the world runes had changed his body. For Lester, any power that weakened the seal of the stars would not be too much.
"Sir, I'll give you some clothes."
Meimi, who had been waiting for a long time, handed over the baggage. Leicester took it and started to put on clothes. Halfway through putting on the clothes, he couldn't help but pause. A sense of disobedience came over him, which always made him feel that something was not right. Satisfied.
Turning his attention back to the female mage with a low sense of presence, he suddenly realized that he had not spoken to the overly introverted female mage. Even until today, he had not gotten to know the short woman in front of him who hid her body and appearance. A female mage.
Continuing the movement of his hands, Lester stopped his somewhat impolite inspection and thought to himself.
Judging from the experience after contact, Master Meimi’s interpersonal circle is very small, and his relationship with Milton is just colleagues. There are almost no recreational activities in daily life. In addition to doing black lightning errands, he meditates in his room. , even the most boring nun is not as boring as Master Meme,
You must know that Milton, who is already a model soldier, knows how to read some Valoran war history or do some combat exercises in his free time. Compared with Milton, Meme is like a wooden person with no emotion.
Why would Xina arrange for herself such a female mage? Is it because he is afraid that he will make a fool of himself?
As soon as such an idea came into his mind, Leicester immediately rejected it. Firstly, Xina has never been the kind of person who likes to be jealous. Secondly, she is already so sentimental. Xina will definitely not interfere with the affairs between men and women. Off the top of my head, the other three people, Xina, all gave corresponding personal development experiences and ability information, and the other Black Lightning mages were no exception. Only Magister Meimi just stuffed them in without any explanation.
From this point of view, there must be something hidden.
Thinking of this, Lester, who had already put on his clothes, squatted down to be eye-level with Master Meimi, and took the initiative to show his searching eyes. Under the wizard's big felt hat, a small face as delicate as a porcelain doll could be vaguely seen. Lester was sure that he had never seen the female mage in front of him.
"Master Mimi, thank you."
Shaking her head slightly, as if a little shy, the female mage lowered her head and did not continue speaking.
"Lord Lister, I'm afraid Colonel Milton has encountered some trouble. Sean just killed a member of the Caravan Alliance during the advance..."
"I know, I remember your name is Rogier, right?"
"Yes, Lord Lister."
Feeling Lester's oppressive momentum, Rogier tried his best to straighten his body and try to show his best side.
Very satisfied with the young man in front of him, Lester said slowly.
"Rogier, remember, with the current strength of the Emerald Territory, we don't need to look at anyone's face when doing things, even when facing the Noxus Empire today. The Emerald Territory has been an independent territory since ancient times. We It is a state within a state of Noxus.
A hundred years ago, the owners of the Nokmochi Plain were the Mombians, but now the people who rule there are the Emerald Territory. Based on this land, we rely on courage and sacrifice, and our bloodshed is what we are most proud of. Things, you must remember at any time that the ridges of the Jade Collar must be straighter than anyone else, and the bones of the Jade Collar must be harder than anyone else. Only a strong heart is truly powerful. As a member of the Jade Collar, We don't need to kowtow to anyone.
Even if our people make mistakes, the people who can judge us will only appear in the Emerald Territory, not even the Immortal Fortress, do you understand? "
"clear!"
With a meaningful smile on his face, Lester said calmly.
"Very good, I think Milton can handle this incident. Let's see if Leander is a smart man. You will soon understand what the Emerald Territory means in Noxus." .”
…
Groups of Noxian soldiers wearing black iron chainmail blocked the streets around the inn. Leander stepped down from the carriage, followed by Vader's messenger Hayden.
Noticing the fat white general of Noxus walking towards him, Vader's face suddenly put on a kind and friendly smile. He already knew Leandre's answer from Hayden's face.
"General Leander, I didn't expect you to take action personally this time. It's really troublesome..."
"Haha, Lord Vader, as the Governor of Noxus in Vazuan, I have to use actions to prove that Noxus is still a part of the Caravan Alliance, right?"
Before Vader, who was overjoyed, could say anything, Leander changed the subject.
"It's just that we should further discuss how to deal with the murderers in the Emerald Territory. After all, it is an independent territory of Noxus. It is not appropriate for me to directly deal with the people in the Emerald Territory. I am afraid I have to ask the Immortal Fortress for instructions. ...In this way, I will be a mediator first to find out what happened. I wonder if there is any misunderstanding here..."
After hearing this, Vader's face froze, and he glanced at Hayden, who looked at Leandre with a confused look on his face, who suddenly changed his mind. Leandre turned a blind eye with a smile on his face, having already greeted Vader and Hayden's eighteen generations of direct maternal relatives one by one.
Compared with their own family and their lives, the Caravan Alliance is nothing, and it is only these country bumpkins who have never seen the world who fail to see the seriousness of the matter.
The reason why he spoke like this was because Leandre had already seen Milton and others surrounded by the Caravan Alliance. He was not a fool. He naturally understood that the Emerald Territory was most famous for its magic steel equipment. Judging from the high-grade magic steel armor, Look, the Emerald Territory soldiers in front of him seem to be more troublesome than he imagined. They are not just minions at all, their luxury is comparable to the Noxian Black Guard.
What kind of army is the Black Guard? There is no other army in the entire Noxus that dares to compare with it. The invincible Black Guard on the battlefield is the dream force of many Noxus warriors. What kind of person can mobilize soldiers of the same level? Good stubble? In a real head-to-head confrontation, I'm afraid that all the people here combined wouldn't be enough to kill the opponent.
Leandre knew that he might have really met someone he couldn't mess with, and in that case he would have to change his strategy.
This governor is inappropriate!
Thinking of this, Leandre and Xi's faces gained a hint of natural humility, and their bodies gained a bit of rounded curvature.
"I am Leander, the governor of the Caravan Alliance of the Noxus Empire in Vazuan. Who is Lord Milton of the Emerald Territory?"
"General Leander, I am Milton, with the rank of colonel, and I am the temporary commander of this force."
Milton stood up and flashed the magic steel emblem in his hand to Leander with a serious expression.
"Just now our supreme commander was assassinated by a fire elemental mage in the hotel. At the critical moment, we were interfered with the rescue operation by the incompetent soldiers of the Caravan Alliance.
I think the Caravan Alliance should give an explanation as to why attacks by fire elemental mages occur one after another under your rule? Why did the soldiers of the Caravan Alliance not save people or put out the fire when the hotel was attacked, but foolishly blocked the hotel and watched the people in the hotel waiting to die?
Not only did they not rescue, they also maliciously blocked our rescue. Could it be said that this was an assassination against the Emerald Territory deliberately planned by the Caravan Alliance? "
The magic steel emblem token in the sun reflects a heart-warming dark red like blood. The double-winged sword surrounded by the demon-faced crown is like the messenger of hell guarding the cold-faced ghost king. The token in front of him is like a thunderbolt that strikes Leander. On his heart, the man dripping with cold sweat lost his legs and almost knelt down to kowtow to Milton.
The token in front of him symbolizes the supreme majesty of the Demon-faced Lord of the Emerald Territory. Judging from the information released by the Emerald Territory, the holder of the token is like seeing the Demon-Faced Lord. In other words, the thing in Milton's hand has the power to declare war. right.
As long as the token holder declares that the Emerald Territory is in a state of war, I am afraid that Vazuan will become the private seaport of the Emerald Territory in less than a week. There is a blood knight, black guard, black lightning, and immortal shield bow and ballista unit. If you count even one, it will all pierce into Wazuan's heart and turn this relatively peaceful land into a mess. Not to mention the money, you may not even be able to save your life.
At least Leander couldn't imagine what kind of military power Vazuan would use to resist the Emerald Territory's troops. No matter how hard he scolded in secret, he also understood in his heart how terrifying the Emerald Territory was. If such a thing really happened, the Immortal Fortress would not stand. On his side, he will also pay for the heads of his family.
"The Rebirth of Financial Giants"
"The Emerald Territory is the indispensable wing of Noxus", Marshal Burnham has said it more than once. The Emerald Territory's immovable luxury goods quota is enough to explain everything. No matter how jealous other big warlord families are, It's useless. Externally, the Emerald Territory is a vassal state of Noxus and part of Noxus. Internally, it has always been an equal status. Even Grand Marshal Burnham can only discuss things calmly with Lord Demon Face. .
His calves were still trembling, Leandre wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and said with an apologetic smile.
"Well, Colonel Milton, the occurrence of such a vicious incident in Vazuan was indeed our mistake. I would like to apologize to you on behalf of the Noxus branch of the Caravan Alliance. You were incompetent in this serious incident. I failed to stop the fire elemental mage's attack on the Emerald Territory in time, which caused the Lord of the Emerald Territory to be hurt. I feel deeply guilty..."
After glancing at the stunned Vader and Hayden behind him, Leander spoke sincerely.
"So in order to express my apology to that gentleman, from now on, I resign from all my positions and immediately return to the Immortal Fortress to report to the Supreme Command. I am willing to accept any punishment from the Supreme Command without any complaints..."
After speaking to Milton, who was in a daze, Leander looked at the stunned Vader behind him. At this moment, in Leander's eyes, Vader was like a fish that only spits bubbles after landing. The life has nothing to do with him, and he will not take the blame.
"Lord Vader, it is up to your caravan alliance to decide how to deal with this matter. I am no longer the governor of Noxus. I will leave Vazuan and return to the Immortal Fortress this afternoon to plead guilty.
General Vader, farewell... All soldiers obey orders! I will temporarily hand over the command of the Noxus branch of the Caravan Alliance to Colonel Milton of the Emerald Territory! Be sure to obey orders! Take command! Until the second Governor appointed by the High Command arrives in Vazuan! No mistakes! "
After a bunch of words were sped up, Milton nimbly ran into his private carriage before he could say whether the attacked adult was dead or alive, and left in a large silence. Milton also became speechless.
General Leander looks like a fat pig, but his personality is as slippery as a loach.
"Lord Vader, why don't we forget it? I think Berkeley might have been ordered to be executed because he offended someone in the Emerald Territory. That guy has always been reckless and has a reckless character that doesn't know how to think. This time The death was not unjust...
Now it seems that we may have had some small misunderstandings with Colonel Milton's team. Since it was a misunderstanding, it can be solved. Besides, our caravan alliance did not prevent the fire mage from launching the attack in time. Colonel Milton's mage troops helped. After putting out the fire, I am afraid that the fire mage who was raging everywhere has already been punished. With the help of Colonel Milton, we can also account for the innocent people who died in the hands of the fire mage..."
Witnessing the changes in Leander and Hayden's attitudes, Vader's mouth twitched and an awkward smile appeared on his face.
The development of the matter was far beyond his expectation. At this moment, Hayden's words made him feel better, but he didn't know whether Colonel Milton in front of him was willing to let it go.
"Haha, let me tell you how the Jadeite Territory, which has always been fair and strict, would attack innocent people. It turns out that it is in a hurry to deal with that damn fire elemental mage. It's a shame that Berkeley doesn't dare to fight against the evil mage, and blocks everyone's way! This bastard really succeeds more than fails!
That... Colonel Milton, there is nothing wrong with what you and your men did. The problem is that my men were stupid enough to block the rescue. I feel deeply guilty for this. Please allow me to apologize to you and your team. , fortunately you and your team took control of the situation in time to avoid greater chaos..."
After taking a deep look at the Shurima warlord representative who had surrendered before him, Milton said calmly.
"General Vader, there is no need to apologize. Seriously speaking, this incident is too urgent. Both of us have done something inappropriate. Now that the fire elemental mage has indeed been punished, I have a lesson for you and me. Tell me, how about we each take a step back this time? Otherwise, the harmony will be really hurt."
"Haha, it should be true. Since General Leandre has handed over the command to you, then Colonel Milton can be considered a member of the Caravan Alliance. Everyone is on his own. The matters here are handled by Colonel Milton. Just deal with it... Hayden, you stay and help Colonel Milton control the soldiers of the Caravan Alliance."
"Leave it to me, Lord Vader."
"Colonel Milton, let Hayden assist you. He often deals with the Noxus branch and can help you control the power of Noxus faster."
"That's trouble."
