Julian carefully looked at the faces of everyone in the tent. Compared to the prince's confidence and eagerness to try, the expressions of the two Mesmeti brothers were undoubtedly much different.

After scanning the crowd, the prince pointed at the map and said, "The Argo Black Locusts gathered from the southwest and then headed north. Judging from their route and speed, they will reach the south of Pingze Town tomorrow morning."

Seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, Prince Jiawen knocked on the table, pointed at Pingze Town, and said: "My father has ordered the legions stationed in the capital of Demacia to go south, and they have just arrived at Viskasia.

, and one of the commanders,"

Jiawen looked at the Mesmeti brothers and said, "It is your father, General Mesa."

After hearing the prince's words, the two brothers fell silent. After a moment, Max said: "The prince means..."

"What I mean is very simple," the prince waved his hand, looked down at the map, and said, "If the Dragoon Legion goes south now, it will be able to reach Pingze Town tomorrow morning."

Jiawen raised his head and said seriously: "The mission is urgent. In two or three days, the royal capital's army will not have time to mobilize too many troops. General Mesa only has a few thousand people in his hands. Plus the local garrison in Pingze Town, there is no more."

Less than fifteen thousand."

"This number of people is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for Black Locust." After hearing Prince Jiawen's judgment, Maddie couldn't help but speak.

Jiawen nodded and said, "So it's time to use us."

Looking at everyone's thoughtful gazes, Jiawen smiled slightly, with a sharp look on his face, "If we can directly attack the central army and kill the queen of locusts when General Maisa's army is fighting with the black locusts, then

The Argo Black Locust will destroy itself without attacking."

"But Your Highness," after hearing Jiawen's speech, Julian was a little shocked by his boldness and couldn't help but said: "The black locusts are overwhelming, and the queen of locusts is very intelligent. Once besieged, I'm afraid it will be...

Ten deaths and no life.”

Jiawen nodded and said, "So, I decided to lead the troops in person."

"Your Highness the Prince!"

"Your Highness the Prince!"

Hearing Jiawen's bold words, several people present couldn't help but change their colors and screamed in surprise.

After everyone looked at each other, Julian stood up and saluted and said: "His Royal Highness is the future heir of the kingdom. You must not take personal risks. If Your Highness wants to send someone, I am willing to be the vanguard and kill the Queen of Locusts for Your Highness."

."

"We are also willing to work with Assas to fight for His Highness." The Mesmeti brothers also stood up and saluted in unison.

Seeing everyone's excitement, Jiawen smiled slightly, waved his hand to stop those who wanted to speak, and said calmly: "My martial arts skills are the best here. Who else can kill the Queen of Locusts on a large scale besides me?"

Everyone was silent, and couldn't help but think of the scene in Dawn Castle that day when the ground collapsed. Even Mesmeti, who was not there that day, knew about this scene through the descriptions of others.

"Besides me, who else has the best hope of fighting a way out from the siege of black locusts?" Jiawen asked again. Everyone was silent. Even Julian was disappointed that he could survive the siege of countless black locusts alone.

I don’t have any confidence in getting out of the middle.

When he was a child, he had seen the scene of a large number of Argo black locusts. Although he was blessed by mysterious power and mastered a lot of magical elemental energy, his swordsmanship was more about dealing with individuals. Against the seemingly boundless Argo,

He is not good at the Gehei Locust Army.

So he could only remain silent at this time, and the Mesmeti brothers, who were far worse in swordsmanship than him, also fell silent.

Jiawen smiled slightly when he saw this scene and said, "Compared to letting tens of thousands of people die fighting against the black locusts, does my plan have the highest success rate?"

"But..." Seeing the proud expression on Prince Jiawen's face, Max wanted to say something, but Jiawen raised his hand to stop him: "No need to say more, I am the prince of the kingdom and the future heir. In the people's favor,

In times of difficulty, if we can stop it with the least possible loss, then I, Jiawen Guangdun, will shoulder the responsibility."

"Your Highness the Prince!" Hearing Jiawen's impassioned words, everyone couldn't help but burst into tears and looked extremely excited.

"Hey——!" Jiawen waved his hand and said with a smile: "I may not be able to complete this task. I have the Sun Steel Armor on me and the power of Atama's Halberd. Those black locusts may not be able to deal with it for a while.

What threat do I pose?"

Sun Steel Armor? Julian thought of this strange steel armor. This is an armor made from the unique Sun Steel in the mountains of the Demacia Plains. It faintly exudes a burning atmosphere in the sun, but the inside of the armor is

When wearing it against the enemy, it is not only extremely strong. If the enemy is not careful and touches the steel armor with the exposed part of the body, the wound will be burned immediately. It is the most powerful weapon for Demacian nobles and the most kings.

The steel armor can only be owned by the elite Guards, and it is also the best armor in the entire Runeterra.

"Your Highness," just when Jiawen was about to continue speaking, Julian suddenly spoke, interrupting the prince's words. Facing everyone's gaze, Julian stepped forward and said seriously: "Please allow me to talk to you.

Let’s attack together.”

The Mesmeti brothers next to Julian widened their eyes instantly and looked at Julian. They knew how powerful the black locusts were. For countless years, black locusts have been a difficult problem for Demacians to deal with. Every year, many soldiers are required to go south.

Fighting with them, thousands of people are injured or killed every year. The two brothers were thinking hard about how to dissuade His Highness Jarvan from giving up this plan of personally rushing in. Suddenly, they heard that Julian was also going together.

Asking for his life, he was stunned for a moment.

In their view, even if Prince Jarvan possesses a wide range of destructive power, it would be difficult for him to kill the Queen of Locusts in the overwhelming black locust swarm, let alone Julian. There is a high probability that Julian will not be able to join him.

It was just to die, so they were very confused.

Jiawen looked at Julian's calm and serious face. After a while, a smile appeared on his face. He walked around the table, patted Julian on the shoulder and said, "Okay! What a Milisil, what a Asa."

Si!"

He was very surprised that Julian took the initiative to ask for help. Although he made such a plan out of the thought of serving the country and the people, and personally led some death squads to attack the black locust swarms, he did not know whether it would succeed.

, so he didn’t have any dissatisfaction with the silence of the few people present, but when he saw that Julian, who was a direct descendant of the nobles, was willing to take the initiative to ask for help, he was surprised and at the same time felt that this man who was five years younger than him had good senses.

A lot.

Julian's expression remained unchanged as he endured Jiawen's beating. He could feel the hesitation of the Mesmerdy brothers on both sides, as well as the complicated expressions after hearing his offer.

But he also has his own considerations.

First of all, Jarvan is the future heir of the kingdom, and he has just come from the Castle of Dawn. If he really made this choice, and Jarvan III did not stop him, then it proves that Prince Jarvan must have some hidden means to make Jarvan III

promise.

Secondly, he is the subordinate of Prince Jiawen. He is good at swordsmanship, and unlike the Mesmeti brothers, he is not mainly focused on commanding armies in battle.

When he was a child, he had seen the scene where the sergeants of Trevel City attacked the black locust swarm under the cover of the magician. He was confident that with the blessing of the mysterious power, he had the possibility of killing the locust queen in an instant. Once the prince created

If an opportunity arises and a space is created for him, he will be confident that he will kill with one strike.

Finally, he believed that the kingdom would not let an heir die in vain. Even if it could be exchanged for the lives of more than 10,000 soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people in Pingze Town. So he felt that there must be something fishy, ​​but after observation, he found that

He didn't see anything different about Prince Jiawen, and glanced at the two servants who were always standing behind Jiawen with their heads lowered and saying nothing. Although he was worried, he still stood up and asked for help.

"Your Highness, please allow me to go with you." After a long silence, his younger brother Maddie suddenly spoke. Hearing his brother's voice, Maddie's eyes widened.

Originally, as a subordinate of the prince, he could use the excuse of commanding the army and not participating in the prince's plan. Even so, it would not attract anyone's criticism. Moreover, after hearing that one of the frontline commanders was his father, the one who went south this time

The total amount of the army is only 15,000, and he already understands that once the army in Pingze Town fails to stop the advance of the Argo Black Locust, then in all likelihood, the entire town, as well as the army of more than 10,000 people, will be annihilated.

.

In such a huge failure, even though his father, General Mesa, was deeply trusted by Jarvan III, he still could not escape the fate of being thrown out of office and imprisoned. So in order for the family to have the capital to make a comeback, he could only choose to preserve himself. And the Black Locust Swarm was not

He could fight it with his own strength. He felt that His Majesty Jarvan III would not let his heir die, so there was a high probability that the plan would be stopped on the eve of it.

No, die!?

Max suddenly froze and glanced at his younger brother Maddie. At this time, he was also looking at his brother with his peripheral vision. As soon as their eyes met, Max suddenly understood something. He relaxed a little and glanced at You slightly.

Ryan fell silent.

With his younger brother showing up, he doesn't need to speak anymore.

Sure enough, when he saw Maddie speaking, an inexplicable look flashed in Jiawen's eyes, and the sharpness on his face softened a lot.

He patted Mai Di on the shoulder and sighed softly: "This operation is extremely difficult, and the frontline commander is the father of your two brothers. If the situation changes, I must consider the Maisa family's problems.

So neither of you brothers will go this time."

"Moreover, the soldiers of the Dragoon Legion also need your command."

"Your Highness!" Hearing Jiawen's sincere words, Maddie's eyes filled with tears and she opened her mouth slightly, not knowing what to say.

The prince waved his hand to stop him, looked at Julian and said, "The same goes for you. General Milisil just sacrificed his life for the country. I have to think about his descendants."

"Your Highness," Julian's expression remained unchanged. At this time, he vaguely understood Jiawen's thoughts. He relaxed a little and said seriously: "General Mesa only has these two sons, but the Milisir family has direct descendants.

There are more than a dozen descendants, and without me, I will not fall out of the ranks of the nobility."

As Julian said, he silently pressed the dagger on his waist with his right hand. "Furthermore, Your Highness, you are not the only one who has confidence. As a swordsman, the dragon blade in my hand is also thirsting for blood!"

Seeing Julian's sudden change in momentum, Jiawen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, opened his lips and teeth slightly, looked around at a few people, and heard a low laughter from his mouth: "Hehehehe!"

The laughter gradually grew louder, until it was as loud as a bell and lingered throughout the entire camp. He patted Julian's arm hard, and Jiawen said: "Okay! Then let us see the strength of the Argo Black Locust Queen together.

!Mesmety!”

"Here!" The two brothers stepped forward together, stood upright, and responded loudly.

"Gather your troops and horses, we'll set off immediately!"

"yes!"

"Athas!" Jarvan shouted,

"Yes!" Julian's confident expression made Jiawen laugh again, patted Julian on the shoulder, and said with great enthusiasm: "Come with me!"

"Yes!" Julian saluted and responded loudly.
Chapter completed!
