What happened in Ionia undoubtedly represented a turning point in the fates of the two heroes and the two nations. In the original history, it was precisely because her home was destroyed by the Noxus people that Erilia brandished her family emblem, which transformed into a sword, and used the dance that her grandmother taught her to dance on the battlefield. Because of her resistance, the people of Ionia started a wave of resistance.
But before this, the people of Ionia maintained the so-called balance between the heart and nature by not resisting and allowing the Noxus people to invade them and persecute their compatriots.
But what was more interesting was that Erilia was only around 14 years old.
However, the winds there weren't affected by Li Ke and the sea around Li Ke wasn't affected yet. However, this wasn't good news for the Noxus people.
"When did our supplies stop?"
Sven looked at the report and map on his table and asked the soldier who reported to him. This soldier was a tall and muscular Freldrod. The Freldrod race had unimaginable patience and strength. Their thoughts were relatively simple, which was why most of the time, they existed as elite troops and personal guards. This was why Sven didn't give up on such a talent and specially recruited a Freldrod. The young man didn't disappoint him. Relying on the magic in his blood and his strong physique, the young man only used half a year to become a guard and soon, he would be promoted to a captain of the guards.
"About a week ago, Sir. The last batch of Piltorworf's fleet arrived a week ago. If we calculate according to the time, Pi City hasn't sent us any supplies for half a month."
Sven lowered his head deeply because he respected this scrawny military advisor, or rather, the commander. Even though Sven seemed a little frail, his wisdom surpassed thousands of soldiers and horses, which was what Sven respected the most. Sven snorted in disdain when he received the news because he had also encountered such a situation when he was in Shurima. Those merchants who only had money in their eyes were willing to do anything in order to earn more gold coins. They were even willing to owe Noxus, Sven, their food, and armaments.
"Looks like those merchants are going to raise their prices again … Damn it, I should have gotten rid of them before we attack Ionia."
Sven casually sat down behind the table. He wasn't in a hurry, because this time wasn't like the time when they waged war against Shurima. They didn't need to rely on Pi City's transportation ability. Noxus could transport a large portion of their supplies over. On the other hand, Ionia's natural resources were shockingly abundant. Even Sven was speechless when he saw the amount of food and wood produced here. There were all sorts of mystical minerals and herbs, as well as all sorts of magical techniques. That was why Sven didn't take Pi City's' threat 'to heart this time.
All he needed to do was to write a letter and request for the nearby Noxus fleet to approach Pi City. Those spineless merchants would resolve the problem on their own. Besides, they also needed a batch of effective alchemy poisons. Both matters could save a lot of time and military expenditure.
But it was apparent that the soldier who passed the order didn't think so. This man, who belonged to Frelchord not long ago, was rather reserved and shy. Sven, who was good at observing, didn't miss this point. He knitted his brows, put down the pen in his hand, and crossed his arms under his chin.
"Do you have any questions?"
If this was any other Noxus noble, it would be a serious warning and threat, which meant 'Are you teaching me how to do things?'. But in Swein's case, he was really asking for it. The soldier from Freldrod hesitated for a moment before speaking because he knew that his commanding officer didn't like to hesitate and hide things.
"Because I heard from the last sailor who came to deliver the supplies that Pete was taken over. It wasn't some merchant's plan, and the one who did all this was called Li Ke. He's a Noxus noble called Reinhardt or something."
Sven couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, because he could tell that this wasn't all the information the guard knew. However, this name, which sounded like a Demacian, was still familiar to him, because this name had been frequently mentioned in many letters sent to him recently. It was said that this person was a rebellious and talented heir of a noble family, who had a unique understanding of the will of Noxus, and his family was also a loyal pillar of the royal family.
But it seemed like his relationship with his family was somewhat … tense.
"Reinhardt … I think I've heard of this person before. But it seems like you know him better?"
However, since the nobles were obviously using words of interest, he wanted to know more about the things that his personal guard didn't want to talk about. That was why he simply waved his hand and gestured for the soldier who 'submitted' to him to sit on equal footing with him in the noble's tent. Freer, who could slap the raging bear without blinking an eye, looked very uncomfortable in his seat after Freer gave him a seat.
He opened his mouth and looked at Sven. After he found strength in Sven's determined face, he spoke of his past with a sigh.
"I'm just guessing because according to the sailors' description, this person called Li Ke not only has the same name as the man who brought me here, but his appearance and strength are also the same. So I'm wondering if the two of them are the same person. "
When he said Li Ke's name, he trembled a little as if he wanted to hold his weapon. This small movement made Sven even more interested in this person called Li Ke because he had witnessed the bravery of this Freldrod. And to be able to scare a person who could withstand magic spells and stones without batting an eyelid, this person called Li Ke was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Oh? Continue. I'm starting to get curious. "
So he leaned back to ensure that he could have a comfortable experience while listening to this story. And this soldier also fell into his memories and began to slowly tell him the story of the person who made him leave his hometown and go to Noxus. And it just so happened that the selection of the captain of the guards required one to understand the past. And naturally, the captain of the guards could only be selected by himself.
