"Ha … The Demacians aren't as honorable as they seem."
Sarah narrowed her eyes and looked at the two Demacian women in front of her with dissatisfaction. After all, the other party was using her feelings to gain benefits for their own forces. It was a very despicable thing to do, but she couldn't refuse. Before she knew what the girl had sacrificed, what she looked like, and what kind of bond she had with Li Ke, she really didn't dare to take the risk.
After all, this kind of thing usually only needed one person to make the decision to end everything.
"Well, benefits. Well, it's always so tempting, isn't it? We just need you to introduce us to that lord when necessary. "
Karina smiled and shook her cup, then gently clinked it with Sarah's.
"Happy working with you."
Sarah shook her head slightly.
"Happy working with you. I'll introduce you to my lover when you need it."
At this time, on another continent, there was also a discussion about the core of their topic — Li Ke.
"According to our informants' information and the intelligence from several other countries, we can confirm that Noxus has placed a lot of orders with Piltwolf. The person who occupied Piltwolf and Zu An, called Li Ke, has also accepted this order to produce those highly toxic weapons, especially those deadly alchemy poisons. The quantity they ordered is enough to pollute every inch of land in the Presidio!"
Hearing the messenger's report, the many leaders who were having a meeting in the ancestral hall of the village fell silent. They were the leaders of the resistance forces around the Presidio and had fought several tough battles with the Noxus people. And it was precisely because they had all seen the power of those terrifying alchemy weapons. Those alchemy poisons could not only kill their soldiers but also pollute the earth. They could also heavily damage the magic that existed in the earth, so they couldn't directly use the power of nature to repel them. So if these weapons were to be used on a large scale, they, who already lacked various war weapons, would fall into a more difficult situation.
So, they didn't want to face this damned predicament directly. After all, even though they had pulled many people into their resistance team and had achieved many victories, Swein's relentless pursuit made them exhausted. Almost every time, they could only rely on surprise attacks to achieve results. And if they were not careful, they would make some mistakes or expose some traces. At best, they would be heavily injured, and at worst, they would be completely wiped out. Even the villages that supported and sheltered them might be wiped out.
Thus, this oppressive atmosphere directly caused the leader, who had never experienced war since he was born, to explode.
"… How could they do this?! Don't they know what kind of slaughter these things can cause? What kind of mood do they have to make such weapons for those executioners for a few stinky coins?! "
He hugged his head and roared angrily, expressing his hatred towards Pi Cheng. Upon hearing his words, the other leaders hugged their weapons and remained silent. This was because they knew that the leader was right to complain, but it was also useless. Even if the people of Pi Cheng were blinded by greed, they couldn't do anything about it because it was difficult for them to even protect their own homes, not to mention making things difficult for those weapon makers.
Moreover, it was like catching a murderer. Catching the cook who cooked for the murderer, as well as the merchant who sold the murderer swords and sabers, was a stupid act.
But even though they knew that it was foolish, the resentment and hatred in their hearts didn't lessen at all.
"And the Balance Church! Why did they say that this is a battle between mortals?! They can't interfere! Are they going to lay down their weapons and allow the Noxus people to slaughter them when their temples are invaded by the Noxus people? We need exorcists because we need them to protect us and this land, not to let them watch us get slaughtered! "
However, this peasant leader continued to grumble and at this moment, there were already people who were dissatisfied with him. Everyone knew about the Church of Balance. They had all grown up listening to their heroic deeds. Even though the Balance Church refused to interfere in this battle, they didn't complain too much. After all, this was the Balance Church's mission and it was also a necessary sacrifice for them to protect the spiritual realm and the real world.
But even though they understood, they couldn't accept it.
"Enough."
Seeing that everyone's mind was beginning to lose balance, unable to look at everything objectively according to tradition and balance, the daughter of the Zan family, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood out and grabbed the arm of the leader who had lost control, stopping him in place.
"We're gathered here to discuss how to chase the invaders out and how to prevent further imbalance in the process! We're not here to complain about why the people of this world aren't helping us! We have to think of a way to convince Pilterwolf! Or find a way to close the gap! Complaining won't solve any problems! "
Her voice was loud and clear. Even though she wanted to be gentle and tactful when she stood up, she was shocked to realize that she was speaking like herself when she tried to persuade the leader. This was because she was grumbling in her heart. She grumbled about why Pi Cheng would create such a weapon for the Noxus people, why the Ionians couldn't unite like the Noxus people, and why the capable ones didn't help. Instead, they watched quietly as the harmony between their spirit and life was broken.
"We're already losing our balance, but we can't lose our principles! We have to find our own rhythm, instead of venting our resentment and unwillingness here like discouraged children, hoping that the legendary immortals and our own parents will help us! "
Besides, even if I want to seek help from my parents, I don't have any family left!
Erilya pursed her lips and tried her best not to cry with an expressionless face. She still couldn't forget the scene of her family emblem shattering and the death of her father and brother. But it was this sorrowful expression that calmed the crazy leader down. He recalled that this resolute girl wasn't even 16 years old and her entire family had died in the hands of the Noxus people. On the other hand, he still needed the other party's comfort and reprimand to be able to struggle out of that kind of mental breakdown. Thus, he lowered his head deeply, recognizing his own ability and lack of responsibility. This small matter and pressure made him lose his composure and start to give up on himself. He really wasn't suitable to lead the people of his hometown anymore. So, after thinking for more than ten seconds, he knelt before Erilia under everyone's shocked gazes.
"I … am not suitable to be the leader and the daughter of the Zan Family. So please lead me and my brothers."
Erilya was taken aback because she saw sincerity in the leader's eyes. Her words were nothing more than the complaints of a little girl. However, what she didn't know was that her action of standing up when everyone was complaining and lamenting had already made many people admire and admire her.
As a result, the dance of her fate was becoming more and more out of her control.
