Bab 328: -321- Noxus will rise!
That night, Linwin, LeBlanc, and Swain sat together and talked a lot.
Towards the end, Linwin just listened on the side while LeBlanc and Swain discussed how to distribute benefits.
The sight of them getting along surprisingly well made Linwin unconsciously swallow.
Linwin had never seen in the original backstory that LeBlanc and Swain would sit down and chat so amicably.
In the Trifarix council, representing strength was Darius (just a figurehead), representing cunning was LeBlanc, and the last one, Swain himself, represented Noxus's strategy.
In essence, the future of Noxus was in Swain's hands.
But even if the Trifarix council was established, LeBlanc and Swain were still hostile towards each other.
But now these two were really discussing the future of Noxus.
Could it be because of his intervention?
Could it be that LeBlanc now clearly understood what Swain wanted to do, and Swain also understood why LeBlanc had been stirring up trouble in Noxus?
LeBlanc was not an outsider; quite the opposite, she had witnessed Noxus's rise from its establishment.
Mordekaiser's tyranny and the destruction of the nation ended at the hands of LeBlanc, and the group of barbarian tribes that defeated Mordekaiser gathered together, and thus, after Mordekaiser, a powerful nation was born.
Was LeBlanc not qualified to lead Noxus? No, those barbarians thought they defeated Mordekaiser themselves, but the reality was, if it weren't for LeBlanc betraying Mordekaiser, it was only a matter of time before Mordekaiser killed those barbarians.
Mordekaiser was immortal, and his power was endless.
They thought Mordekaiser was really dead, but LeBlanc knew the truth - Mordekaiser had not completely disappeared; he would come back for sure.
The biggest tree catches the strongest wind. Mordekaiser's incident taught LeBlanc a lesson: to be a hidden figure, one must never appear in the open.
And so, lurking for thousands of years, under LeBlanc's manipulation, Noxus was forced into many unnecessary wars. And it was not hard to guess the purpose of LeBlanc causing these wars; she was looking for a way to stop Mordekaiser.
Now, because they had a common enemy, Linwin and the Twin Cities' strength, Swain and LeBlanc began to take notice.
All these external conditions together made these two guys really "unite against a common enemy."
Linwin gritted his teeth and began to feel a headache.
If LeBlanc and Swain really united, then Noxus would definitely become stronger!
This was what Linwin wanted to see, but also not what Linwin wanted to see.
What a headache....
But the fact was so.
The Void was about to be revealed to the world, and the continent of Runeterra needed strong alliances. But if Noxus became stronger... Ha, who knows what trouble this country would cause then.
"Never mind that for now."
Watching Swain and LeBlanc chatting so well, Linwin, the "outsider" on the side, smacked his lips.
Standing up, Linwin spoke, "I think I'd better go. You two can take your time, but Swain, remember what we agreed on."
"I won't be seeing you off," Swain said without looking up, but immediately added, "As for the agreed matter, in eight days, Draven will represent Noxus to go to the Twin Cities to sign the agreement."
Draven?
Linwin raised an eyebrow at the sound of this name.
The Hand of Noxus's brother.
According to the timeline, Draven should be tired of military life by now and run to become the master of the arena, right?
In the future, Riven, who was captured and brought back to Noxus, appeared in his arena, didn't she?
However, looking at the current timeline, Valoran and Shurima can no longer be viewed according to the original universe's timeline, as these two continents have been stirred up too much by the Twin Cities, but Ionia still can.
According to the current timeline, Riven should still be drifting around in Ionia?
Namely, to atone.
When caught by the Noxian army and thrown into the arena, Riven even fought with Draven in the arena. If this happens in the Summoner's Rift, it was probably a sad story of an ADC seeking death.
Unlike his brother Darius, who was born to be a soldier, obedient to orders, and decisive in battle.
Draven was different. He had a bit of humor, a bit of wit, and was someone who liked excitement and fun. He couldn't adapt to military life at all, so it was obvious that Swain handed this task to Draven. This guy, who could be considered Swain's friend, would be willing to go to the Twin Cities.
"Okay, remember to warn him to behave himself."
Swain raised an eyebrow at Linwin, meaning Linwin was also familiar with Draven? Associating with Linwin's aura of mystery, Swain just nodded.
Yes, Linwin Lorant was also a guy who could be omniscient and omnipotent.
"I've already given you the entry form, take a good look, think about what events you Noxians can participate in."
"Remember, the earlier you go to the Twin Cities, the better chance you have of winning, after all, there are many sports events that you don't understand at all. It's a good thing to go early and familiarize yourself with them for a month or two."
Linwin clapped his hands and laughed, "The early bird catches the worm, you know."
"Hmph."
LeBlanc coldly snorted from the side, resting her chin on her hand, she reached out and gestured towards Linwin, "Just leave already."
"Oh, and LeBlanc, don't send any more spies of the Black Rose to the Twin Cities. It's useless. The Twin Cities are as solid as a rock now."
With that, Linwin walked out of the room.
"And it's kinda ridiculous to have a meeting like this in a basement..."
As he left, Linwin couldn't help but make a comment.
This comment left Swain and LeBlanc somewhat speechless.
When important figures gather to plan major events, of course, they need an atmosphere.
Linwin Lorant, really didn't look like a strong person at all, just a young lad.
"Well, let's continue our discussion."
"Tell me how you plan to deal with Mordekaiser, Swain."
"As you wish, Madam."
--------------
Noxian calendar, 985 years, December 31st.
A shocking piece of news shook the continent of Valoran -
Noxus Emperor Darkwill was hanged at noon today on the execution platform.
Overnight, a man named Swain successfully seized Darkwill's throne.
When the nobles of Noxus heard the news, they were all frightened, even thinking of sending troops to the Immortal Bastion to confirm the news.
And when the nobles were scared, the common people of Noxus raised their hands and crowded around Swain, who ascended the throne.
And then, they witnessed the man proving his words.
In front of his followers and the people, Swain raised his hand, and a blood-red lightning crushed Darkwill's throne.
"From this day forth, Noxus will be divided by individual strength. I will resolutely resist incompetence and favoritism. Anyone who dares to touch my bottom line, Darkwill is a example to you all!"
"I will withdraw Darkwill's inept orders, and I will bring your families back to Noxus!"
"But this is not stagnation, but recuperation!"
Clad in a black robe, demonic power formed giant claws behind Swain, and suddenly a pair of black flesh wings appeared behind him.
He raised his left hand, thunderous roars echoed in the sky of Noxus.
"From now on, the sons and daughters of Noxus, you will witness a fair empire!"
"Cheer and anticipate!"
"In my hands, Noxus will rise!"
