Chapter 130 Demacia, the war has begun!
Year 987, mid-August.
It has been nearly three months since Rowan and Lux returned to Demacia, and during this time, Rowan has also witnessed the changes in Demacia. Although it is small, it has brought great changes to Rowan. gained motivation.
Netizens have always felt that Demacia is safe, but too pedantic.
Overly self-protective policies have derailed Demacia from the times, but let Rowan speak, Demacia's closed-door and pedantic policies are true, but with Jarvan III here, everything will improve, as long as he lives.
Therefore, Demacia is now committed to opening its ports and deepening cooperation with surrounding small countries. The tracks of the Hex train have led to various places, and only the final stage of operation is left.
Once fully implemented, the Hex trains running three times a day will allow Demacia to completely connect Valoran, reducing freight costs and promoting relations with neighboring countries.
Not to mention that forbidden magic is also being promoted secretly. This can be seen from the moment when Jarvan III waved his hand and directly ordered the number of members of the Demon Searching Group to be drastically reduced in front of all the nobles.
Jarvan III couldn't hold it any longer. When he attacked the demon seeker, Rowan was also at the scene. At that time, no nobles dared to come forward.
Because now, the interests of the nobles are tied to Hex Technology, and Hex Technology is in the hands of Jarvan III. To put it bluntly, the ban on magic is actually related to interests. Therefore, at the moment, When greater interests emerged, the nobles unanimously stood in favor of Jarvan III.
After the people who control the country unify their direction, the direction of the people will be clear.
The interesting thing is that Lux once complained to Rowan at the dinner table about this matter, saying that her uncle was very unhappy about this matter and privately spoke ill of His Majesty in the Crownguard Manor and sought help from her aunt. , but the result was that he was slapped hard by Tiana, and then he became honest.
In this regard, Rowan can only say that Ms. Tiana is really fierce.
Then, Rowan looked at Lux again. Well, Lux would definitely not be as violent as Tiana. Lux is a very kind and reasonable person!
All in all, my time in Demacia was really relaxing. Rowan didn't need to go to the military camp. He just chatted with Sonarax every day and bought some delicious things to take back to Kai'Sa. The time just passed like this. Every day passed.
Today, Rowan was planning to go to Sona as usual and watch a play together. As a result, as soon as Rowan arrived at the gate of the Bouvier family's manor, a heavily armed knight on horseback found Rowan.
"Your Majesty Luo Wen, your Majesty has summoned you!"
Pulling the reins, the middle-aged knight said loudly. Behind him, there was a group of gray horses. He looked at Rowan and continued: "Please mount the horse. Time is urgent. The king wants you to hurry to the Throne Mountain."
Rowan paused, looked at Bouvier Manor, then at the knight, then he stepped forward and got on his horse.
The sudden summons was so urgent. It was really the first time for Rowan to see Jarvan III like this.
From time to time——
On the throne mountain, Rowan handed the horse to the knight, and then left the palace accompanied by the attendants.
After entering the palace, the first thing Rowan saw was Jarvan III sitting on the throne, then a group of red-faced Mrs. Piltover, and a group of thinking Demacia ministers.
"Rowan, come here." Jarvan III reached out to Rowan.
Rowan stepped forward, and before he could ask what brought Jarvan III to him, he saw Mrs. Piltover coming up to her.
"Lord Rowan, no luck, Piltover is under attack!"
"What?" Rowan was stunned.
Jarvan III explained from the side: "Just now, they came to me and said that Piltover was attacked by Noxians. Although the Piltover people tried their best to stop them, they still failed to drive away the Noxians. Now The Noxians have already landed, so they ask for help from Demacia, hoping that Demacia can send troops. "
After Jiawen III finished speaking, he looked at Rowan and said, "What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, of course we are going!" Rowan said immediately.
Jarvan III nodded and said, "I have already prepared the army, and the Hex train is also being prepared. The soldiers can set off at any time."
"Piltwurf is an ally of Demacia. If our allies are suffering, Demacia has no reason not to take action. Therefore, here, Tep, Donis, I declare that you go to the military zone now and gather the troops!"
Among the nobles of Demacia, two men wearing silver armor came out, half-kneeling and said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Tiana, call out the Dragon Bird Unit and send a unit to Piltover first. At the same time, let our scouts go to find out the news in advance!"
Beside Jarvan III, Tiana came out, holding the silver sword, raised her head and said: "Yes."
"Rowan." Jiawen III looked at Rowan and hesitated.
Then he made a decision.
The future of Demacia belongs to young people like Rowan, Jarvan IV, and Galen. Now, it is obvious that it is time for Rowan to continue to increase his reputation and honor. Therefore, Jarvan III is ready to let Rowan go to Peel. Twow.
But just when Rowan looked at Jarvan III and was about to speak, a servant rushed in.
"Report!"
"Information came from the highland city Mithril City that Freljordians were encountered outside the Snowy Mountains!!!"
The soldiers rushed in and shouted.
Jiawen III was stunned and said loudly: "Calm down and tell the story in detail!"
The attendant paused, mentioned the Hex transmitter, and said loudly: "Not long ago, the scouts from Mithril City used the Hex transmitter to send news to the Crown Guard family. After the Crown Guard family's investigation, a group of unidentified The Reeljords are heading towards Owendale!"
"According to the scout's original words, the number of this group of Freljordians is about three thousand!"
"Three thousand people?!"
"How is this possible? Aren't the Freljordians we met in the past always numbered in dozens and dozens of people? There were only one or two hundred people at most. How could they possibly gather three thousand people?"
"They are trying to attack us!"
The attendant's words caused chaos in the scene.
Rowan also frowned, then looked at the attendant and grabbed the transmitter.
Then, Rowan looked down.
There was a row of messages, and just when Rowan got the transmitter, another message came in.
[Mithril City has sent soldiers to protect Owendale! But our numbers are not enough and we urgently need support from Xiongdu! 】
[I have never seen a group of Freljordians in the North. They are well-trained, wearing very few clothes in the cold ice weather, riding wild boars and ice wolves. They are elite warriors! 】
[One of our scout teams has lost information and was probably captured by the enemy! 】
Wearing very few clothes in the ice and snow.
The mounts you ride are wild boar and ice wolf
Has an army of more than 3,000 people
Damn it!
Rowan's eyes widened and he suddenly thought of something.
Isn't this exactly the Claw of Winter? !
There are definitely many Freljordians riding wild boars in the entire North, but if they can meet these three conditions, what else can it be but Winter's Claw?
Being able to move around in the ice and snow while wearing very few clothes is a bloodline of ice, an Iceborn warrior!
With more than 3,000 warriors, only two tribes can do this, one is Ashe's Avarosa, and the other is Sejuani's Claws of Winter!
Riding a Wild Boar The reason Juvask wild boars are famous is not because of how strong these wild boars are, but because the owner of a wild boar is too strong!
All signs indicate that the Freljord tribe currently attacking Owendale is the Claws of Winter!
But the problem comes again!
Why in the year 987, when Azir has not been resurrected, Swain has not yet been able to rule the country, and Irelia has not officially served as the leader of the rebellion, Sejuani's Claw of Winter will Come to attack Demacia?
This timeline is really a complete mess!
In the original timeline, the Freljords did come to attack Demacia, and the ones who came were indeed Winter's Claws, but the problem was, not that many people came! She only gave one army to Silas, and asked Silas to lead it to attack Demacia, and the powerful Iceborn warriors easily rushed into Demacia. Ice Bloodline seemed like a joke in front of his eyes.
This is not surprising, because apart from the Dauntless Vanguard, the elite soldiers of Demacia and the Ice Bloodline are really the difference between children and adults.
Because the Ice Bloodline was a treasure given to the Freljordians by the void creatures who first came to Runeterra. The monitors who first came to the Freljord gave the Ice Bloodline to the Freljordians, so that They have great strength.
The first place where humans lived in Runeterra was not Valoran, Shurima, or Freljord!
Going back to our ancestors, people from all over the world, regardless of the Shadow Isles, Bilgewater, the Twin Cities, Demacia, Noxus, and the Shurima Empire, the ancestors of our ancestors are all Freljordians. That’s right!
Therefore, even if you only have a trace of ice blood, your growth limit has already exceeded that of a mortal.
And Winter's Claw has many such warriors!
This is why Darius, the pinnacle warrior among humans, was captured by a small force of Sejuani.
So why?
Without Silas leading the way, would Winter's Claw have come to Demacia?
And three thousand people came!
In Runeterra, this is already a large army. Demacia has fought many battles, but it is rare that three thousand soldiers are sent out at one time.
Compare this to the Freljord, which is sparsely populated and has no ability to sense news from the outside world. However, Sejuani sent out 3,000 people at once.
Is it because of something I did?
But I haven’t been to Freljord either!
Demacia doesn't have any trade relations with Freljord either!
Jarvan III also responded very quickly. He said: "As it is, the troops supporting Piltover must board the Hex train in one hour. Then, Tiana, you will lead the Fearless Vanguard. , rush to Owendale!”
"Yes!" Tiana said loudly.
"Rowan, you also go to Peart" Jarvan III said.
"No, Your Majesty." Rowan interrupted Jarvan III instantly. This behavior was very rude.
But Jarvan III was not angry. Instead, he looked at Rowan and said curiously: "Don't you have your friends in Piltover? Don't you want to help your friends yourself?"
"I would like to, Your Majesty, but not now." Rowan took a deep breath and said.
At the same time, the Hex transmitter sent the latest news.
[Magus lost his life, and before he died, news came. The tribe that attacked us was the Winter's Claw, and its leader was a person named Sejuani. She had white hair and wore a helmet with a missing corner. She was riding on On a huge wild boar. 】
"."
"Your Majesty, the Freljordians are dangerous, very, very dangerous." Rowan felt a headache when he saw the message on the transmitter.
"Danger?" Jarvan III narrowed his eyes, "Mithril City and the former Forsbarrow also often came into contact with the Freljords. They are no different from the Noxians."
"What's more, the soldiers we sent are fearless vanguards." Jarvan III added.
Rowan didn't know what to say to Jarvan III. He just looked at Jarvan III seriously and repeated again: "Your Majesty, they are really dangerous."
"."
Jarvan III fell silent.
At the scene, a Demacia noble planned to tease Rowan, but just as he was about to speak, Xin Zhao looked at him sharply from behind Jarvan III, his eyes cold.
Xin Zhao believes in Luo Wen.
Because if Luo Wen, who has already surpassed him, can tell him that it is dangerous, then of course Xin Zhao will believe it.
After being silent for a long time, Jarvan III looked at Rowan and said, "So you want to go to Irwindale?"
"Yeah." Rowan nodded.
Jace Victor and the others are very important, but right now, Swain has not yet come to power in Noxus. With the current combat power of the Noxians, it is impossible for them to destroy the Twin Cities in a few days, because Jace After Si came to power, Heimerdinger stepped down. Without Heimerdinger's obstruction, the Twin Cities also developed a lot of Hex weapons.
Although there are few warriors in the Twin Cities, the powerful Hex weapons can help the people of Piltover protect the city, not to mention Janna, who has awakened a lot of power.
Never underestimate the gods!
Although Janna is kind and unwilling to harm humans, if it comes to the life and death of Zaun and Piltover, then Janna will definitely take action. She may not kill the Noxians, but she will definitely Use the wind to drive away all the Noxians.
Then, when Demacia's soldiers arrived, the Twin Cities were completely safe.
Therefore, the interests of the two cities will be damaged at most. If it is ideal enough, no one will even die in this attack!
But what about your own side?
The situation faced by Demacia is different.
Because, Sejuani came in person!
Besides Pig Girl, who else could the image described on the transmitter be?
In fact, it is not true that Rowan is afraid of Sejuani. After all, if Rowan finds that he cannot beat Sejuani after they meet, then Galio will be there and let Lux act as a power bank. , just call Galio.
Not to mention that there are many extraordinary beings in Demacia now.
Xin Zhao, several swordsmen from Dauntless Vanguard, Tiana, the half-step extraordinary Fiona, plus Rowan, Lux, and Kai'Sa.
With Demacia's current combat power, it is definitely not a problem to defeat Sejuani.
But the problem is that behind Sejuani, there is a god who can crush Galio!
Lord of Thunder, Volibear!
That's right, behind the two major tribes of Freljord, there are original gods protecting each other.
Anivia of Avarosa, Volibear of Winter's Claw.
And Volibear. If Sejuani really calls him, then Rowan really doesn’t know how Demacia can resist.
By Galio?
The unreliable Galio will definitely be crushed by Volibear.
Because there are differences between demigods!
Volibear is the top being among demigods!
Even the stars outside the starry sky would never dare to be presumptuous in front of Volibear!
If the bear is really awakened by Sejuani and joins this war, it will be a war of destruction for Demacia!
Seeing how serious Rowan was, Jarvan III also became wary.
"Tiana, you act now!"
Tiana did not hesitate, opened her long legs, and walked straight out of the door.
Then, Jarvan III looked at Rowan: "You set out for Owendale now. The nearest scouts will obey your orders!"
"Prioritize the evacuation of the people of Owendale, and be sure to protect the safety of every Demacian!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Rowan said loudly.
Jarvan III also stood up. He faced all the nobles, took off the crown, and threw it away. The crown rolled on the steps, and Jarvan III reached back.
Met walked up and handed a sword to Jarvan III's hand.
Looking at the careless nobles, Jarvan III raised his sword and shouted angrily: "Everyone, cheer up!"
"What Rowan said means what I mean. Now, the enemies of Demacia are here! These people from the Freljord are more dangerous beings than the Noxians!"
"Demacia, enter full alert!"
Jarvan III waved his sword. The aura on his body, which had always been amiable, became extremely sharp at this moment, like an unsheathed sword.
With his gray hair and beard blowing, Jarvan III pointed his sword forward, towards the outside of the Throne Mountain, and said loudly:
"Demacia, the war has begun!"
