"Although there are portals in Demacia and Ionia that can be used, they can only transport a small number of people, and the army still needs to travel by land. Liu Zhan, take six people directly to Piltover and let them
Open the passage to Ionia as soon as possible, and I will take the others back to the Royal Capital of Demacia to deal with the matter of the fake prince."
After separating from the Sivir mercenary group and Liu Feng, Jarvan IV thought about the recent situation in the mainland, took out an identification badge and handed it to Liu Zhan, and said to him.
"Yes, but since Noxus launched the attack, they must have been prepared for it. Now it is estimated that Zaun has begun to harass Piltover, making it difficult for Piltover to spare manpower to help us deal with Noxus. In addition, Germany
Marcia has a long way to go to Ionia, and there is frequent harassment from the Shadow Island in the north. It would be very difficult to send troops to Ionia on a large scale..."
Although he was not an important minister in the court, as the captain of Jarvan IV's personal guard, Liu Zhan still knew the country's war layout very well.
"Sivir just said that she would help transfer Noxian mercenaries. In this way, the number of troops that the Noxian military headquarters can mobilize will be reduced to a certain extent, and the defensive circle will be greatly reduced. We only
We need to mobilize two or three legions to threaten, and Zaun’s harassment will be reduced. Then Zaun will be able to help us clear the obstacles, and perhaps help send troops to Ionia."
Jarvan IV explained.
"That Noxian woman? Do you really believe her?"
Jarvan IV's words surprised Liu Zhan. It was hard for him to imagine that a person who hated Noxians to the core would believe the words of a Noxian celebrity like Sivir.
"Although the Light Shield Royal Family hates the Noxian military, they are not blindly rejecting it. Such things that are beneficial to the war between Demacia and Noxus can be considered. As for Sivir, she can
For such a chaotic city-state to gain such a high voice, he will never be a person who breaks his word."
Jarvan IV took out the newly assigned [Landon's Omen] synthetic parts and whispered: "This kind of top-notch treasure in Valoran is rare. Sivir allowed us to leave easily, which shows that she is not an ordinary mercenary.
match."
"Well, that's true. I'm well aware of the habits of mercenaries. Not to mention Noxian mercenaries, it's not uncommon for me, a Demacia mercenary, to kill and cheat when I encounter the best."
Liu Zhan nodded in agreement and said, "After all, a considerable number of mercenaries do shady things."
"Well, then it's decided."
Jarvan IV nodded and issued the order.
"But this—Ms. Dragon Girl, do you really want to bring Demacia back?"
Liu Zhan turned his gaze to Sivana again and asked softly.
Liu Zhan was still a little worried about a woman who could transform into a dragon during battle and cause quite a commotion during the Guardian battle.
"No problem!"
Jarvan IV nodded solemnly again.
"Okay, see you in Piltover then!"
Knowing that Jarvan IV had made up his mind, Liu Zhan had no choice but to obey in the end.
…
After more than two weeks, Liu Feng and Janna finally left the Kumang Valley Rainforest. It took them about two months to cross the Nurima Desert, and another two months to pass through the Storm Plains.
Arrive at the location of the War College.
"More than a year has passed before I know it. I still don't know what Zhan Zhan College is like now. I'm really looking forward to it..."
Janna, who had been fighting wild monsters for more than half a year, couldn't help but sigh when she found that she could finally see humans walking on the road.
"Well, the War College is indeed worth looking forward to, but it is not here that has changed more this year. If as expected, the war in Ionia must have started, and tens of millions of creatures will be poisoned. The war
, It’s really the most ruthless thing…”
Compared with Janna, Liu Feng, who is peaceful by nature, is more concerned about the war in Ionia. He feels quite worried about this kind of incident that destroys all lives.
"Ionia...I spent some time in Ionia. Although the people there yearn for peace, they are not as cowardly as you think. Ionia is a large island, although there is no Novo
Super city-states like Texas and Demacia exist, but the influence of their temples and sects is equally extraordinary."
Seeing Liu Feng bring the topic to the Ionia war, Janna tilted her head and thought for a moment before speaking to him.
"Temple, sect? Even if they have a large number of people, facing the huge and well-trained Noxian army, they will probably be defeated at the first touch."
Liu Feng shook his head and said helplessly.
"You are too pessimistic!"
Janna smiled and pinched Liu Feng's palm and said: "Although those small and medium-sized temples and sects have little combat effectiveness, the large forces in Ionia are still quite powerful. They have a large number of temple guardian knights and mages.
They are so powerful that even the elite Demacia troops we saw near Mount Targon can only be compared to the trial troops of large forces."
"Judgement troops? Temples and sects will also have such military weapons?"
Liu Feng was stunned when he heard Janna's explanation.
Although Janna often talks about her time in Ionia, she basically talks about the peaceful atmosphere of Ionia and the interesting things there. Janna rarely mentions things related to armed strength.
"Yes, when I went there, I had an exchange with a temple-protecting mage named Emma. I felt that her strength was not inferior to mine, and she said that she could only be considered to be of average strength among the temple-protecting mages."
Janna mentioned a name and used her own strength as a benchmark to let Liu Feng know more about it.
"Medium strength? At that time, you were already level 6 - no, you should have been level 7. With your [Supreme] talent of level 7, you could at least compete with level 9 or even level 10 warriors. This means that level 10 warriors
You can only be considered average among the temple guardian mages? Then what is the strength of the top leaders among them?"
Hearing Janna's explanation, Liu Feng's expression changed slightly. He thought that there should be masters in the temple, but he didn't expect that the level 10 generals could only be considered average.
You know, a level 10 general in the army is already at the level of the legion commander's bodyguard, and he is quite a deterrent on the battlefield!
"By the way, I remember Karma once told me that she knew a high-level mage from a medium-sized temple, who seemed to be a level 14 commander, and there were at least dozens of high-level mage in that temple!"
Jana thought for a moment, then suddenly raised her eyebrows slightly and said as if she was thinking of something.
"Level 14 Commander! Existences of this level are all masters in the central city of Noxus. They can be said to be top figures in Mandalay City, Demacia. There are so many masters in a medium-sized temple, which is completely comparable to Demacia.
Marcia is a small and medium-sized city that cannot be ignored. What about the combat effectiveness of large temples? It seems that I have indeed underestimated Ionia. If Noxus also attacks Ionia based on my ideas, I am afraid that
You’ll be surprised too!”
Janna's repeated reminders made Liu Feng's combat effectiveness against the Ionians increase by more than one level, but when he thought about it, his excitement, which he had just felt, quickly faded away.
"But masters can only be counted as part of the war. In the face of the well-trained Noxian regular army, ordinary masters cannot turn the tide. Soldiers, blood, and lives are the decisive factors that influence the form of war.
"
Having said this, Liu Feng frowned and felt a wave of energy sweep through his body.
"This feeling...is a barrier! Why is there a barrier here?"
While Liu Feng frowned, Janna muttered in a low voice.
