The ambitious schemer who jumped out suddenly died from the Black Widow's poison. All he could do was lie on the ground and look at the slightly brightening sky, waiting for his soul to enter the Underworld. His heart was filled with sorrow and indignation, but he wasn't the only one. There were also people in Ionia who shared the same feelings as him.
"It's impossible for reinforcements … to arrive in time."
After stating his conclusion, Sven felt dizzy. He had always worshipped and respected Darkwill because his wisdom and strength allowed Noxus to become the strongest country in the world in this era. He had never doubted that Noxus would become even stronger under the rule of such a wise monarch. As such, he wasn't stingy with his loyalty, hard work, and passion. He also never had thoughts of replacing Darkwill. After all, no one in his position wouldn't imagine what it would be like to replace Darkwill.
His reputation, the number of legions he commanded, the number of victories he brought, and the number of capable officers he promoted made him a massive force in Noxus that couldn't be ignored. But he had never thought of replacing Darkwill because even though Darkwill had become a little crazy and was crazily pursuing items that could grant him immortality, Sven was still willing to believe that the wise and powerful Darkwill would regroup under his advice and make Noxus great again.
For this, he was willing to offer his life and everything he had. As long as Noxus could continue to grow stronger and survive, he was willing to pay any price.
But …
He was betrayed.
To make the legions not follow the plan to provide reinforcements to Sven, who was baiting the resistance, and to prevent Sven from knowing about all of this, there was only one person who could do all of this. That person was the monarch he had dedicated everything to, his extremely loyal master, the commander of the strongest country and army in the world, Noxus' Emperor Darkwill!
How laughable was this? Did he feel that he couldn't suppress Sven, or did he feel that he was disobedient? When did Darkwill become so weak? Didn't he know that if everything went according to plan, the resistance of the Ionians would be completely extinguished? After clearing the resistance, they would march straight into Ionia's actual capital, Presidium? Ionia would then become part of the Empire from then on, and no one would be able to stop their army from resisting? Noxus wouldn't need to involve too much of its forces in this land. They could steadily accumulate strength and launch a crushing war against Demacia five to ten years later. When that happened, they would destroy Demacia effortlessly, allowing Noxus to truly unify the world.
Was killing him more important than letting Noxus rule the world?
Darkwill, you've changed! You're no longer the same person who can make Noxus stronger!
Sven put down the map in front of him and looked at the Noxus officers and soldiers who were looking at him with anticipation and trust. He took a deep breath.
"Prepare to break out."
Darkwill had let him down, but he couldn't let Noxus down. He couldn't let down these soldiers who felt that he could bring victory to Noxus and make Noxus stronger.
"But, General, wasn't the plan for us to hold our ground and wait for reinforcements?"
The soldiers of Noxus were naturally puzzled by his order, because this was not the order they had received before. They were supposed to wait here for reinforcements so that they could wipe out the Ionians who came to kill Svi. Why did they suddenly have to break through the encirclement? This wasn't good news for Noxus and definitely wasn't a good thing.
"Because there aren't any reinforcements left. According to my plan, they should have crawled here by now. But now, the Ionians have occupied their original positions. If the Ionians detected our reinforcements within five kilometers, they definitely wouldn't dare to attack us from there. But now, they are attacking us from both sides, which explains a lot. "
Sven pointed at the map and explained the future he saw. If there were reinforcements, the Ionians wouldn't dare to flank them from the rear! His conjecture made the soldiers and officers lower their heads. They knew how many Ionians they had provoked to hunt them down, but they only had less than 600 soldiers. Even though every one of them was an elite among elites, the disparity in numbers was something they couldn't resist at all. On average, one Noxus soldier had to face one Ionian soldier. Besides, the main forces of Ionians were still rushing over.
Moreover, they were being besieged from all sides. If they could win like this, then it would have to be God himself who came to help them. However, it was clear that in the land of the Ionians, the gods of the Noxas did not care for them. They had even stabbed them in the back, pushing them into the abyss.
"Give me a sword. I want to fight alongside the soldiers and break out of the encirclement."
He reached out his hand to his adjutant, but his adjutant was hesitant. In his opinion, even if all 600 of them died to protect Sven, as long as Sven could survive, it would be worth it. But after thinking about who betrayed them, he silently handed over a fine sword to Sven and swore to himself that he would never let Sven fight anyone before he fell.
"Alright then, everyone. May we continue to work together in the future!"
Sven, who had never fought anyone before, unsheathed his sword and walked out of his tent towards the soldiers who were valiantly resisting the Ionians.
He wanted to announce the news personally and fight alongside the soldiers.
On a mountain peak thousands of meters away, Yatoku was holding an unconscious Ionian young lady named Irelia. He smiled at the 'civil official' who was going to fight personally.
"Let me see the so-called … fate."
He was really curious. Without the liveliness of the girl in his hands, who had cut off his arms and legs, would this Swain repeat the history he knew?
