Chapter 340 From now on, you will continue to be my bed-warming maid

In the blink of an eye, the end of September has arrived.

Located in the Varzhu Mountains, above the mouth of the river is the city of Kursala.

Demacia's army is stationed here.

For more than half a month, the army jumped over the peaks of the Shining Silver Mountains, continued to march eastward, and captured Kursala this morning.

At this point, Demacia had defeated almost all the Noxian towns in the western mountains.

The entire area of ​​the Shining Silver Mountains is quite a large area.

After all, just the troops traveling through mountains and rivers took several months.

It rained again two days ago, and as it was late autumn, the sky was shrouded in gray. There was always a sense of desolation in the world that was deserted after the war.

Lu Qi stood on the city wall of Kursala, the cool wind blowing towards his cheeks.

In the distance, he saw a Noxian army slowly approaching.

Then, Quinn trotted up from the stairs behind him and reported: "Your Highness, this is a letter sent from the Noxian army."

She did not check it and handed it over to Lu Qi completely.

After Lu Qi took it, he slowly opened the letter without thinking too much, took out the letter paper, and read the contents.

The first thing he saw was a familiar name.

Jericho Swain.

Seeing this name, Lu Qi looked thoughtful.

Since he can write the letter, it means that their plan has been successful. It seems that the leader of Noxus is no longer Darkwill.

And the letter did make this clear.

They overthrew Darkwill and have now transformed the political landscape of Noxus.

In order to resolve the grievances between Noxus and Demacia, he requested a meeting with Lucci.

The wording in the letter was very polite and respectful, and it was obvious that it was done with the best of intentions.

The choice was Lucci's, and if he chose to ignore the letter, it would mean continuing the war with Noxus.

After reading the letter, Lu Qi thought for a moment and told Quinn: "Reply to Noxus and say that I agreed to meet."

"Yes." Quinn left without hesitation.

Luqi looked at the Noxian army in the distance, watching calmly.

Half an hour later.

The city gate of Kursala opened, and then a group of people slowly entered the city. They wore black armor but did not wear weapons.

The leader, with white hair, wearing a black robe, and a steady gaze, was none other than Swain.

Even though he led a few people to the Demacia camp, he did not show the slightest panic. His expression was calm and he slowly looked at the young man opposite with a handsome face and outstanding temperament.

At the first glance, his instinct told him that this person was the second prince of Demacia, Lu Qi.

Seeing him, Swain's eyes flickered slightly. Judging from the aura on his body, could he be the same kind as himself?

Soon, he rejected the idea.

Unlike himself, he also has considerable demonic power in his body, but it is not a symbiotic relationship.

After just a brief perception, Swain immediately realized that the prince in front of him was something special.

"Guys, please move to the conference room."

He glanced at the few people brought by Swain, then stayed on one of the cloaked figures for a second, and then withdrew his gaze.

Turn around and lead the way.

For this meeting, he specially prepared a meeting room.

There were heavy guards around, and soon, several people entered the meeting room one after another.

Beside Lu Qi, Tiana and Lev sat down.

On the opposite side, there was only Swain sitting.

Luqi had previously informed Tiana and Lev about the coup in Noxus, and they both knew that the man sitting across from them at the moment was now the talker in Noxus.

At the same time, I really admire his courage, daring to take risks and come to the base camp of Demacia.

Seeing the silent atmosphere in the meeting room, Swain was the first to speak: "I have only one purpose for proposing the meeting this time, and that is to hope for a truce with Demacia."

Lu Qi asked: "What's the reason?"

"There are many reasons." Swain looked at him and said, "For example, there is no need to increase the number of meaningless casualties."

"I come to this truce with sincerity. Demacia still holds tens of thousands of Noxian citizens captive. I am willing to give them all to the elderly, women, and children for two hundred gold each. Redemption. For young and middle-aged men, the price is three hundred gold per person."

"At the same time, as a representative of the Trefari Council, I will announce to everyone in Noxus that the truce was initiated by me, and at the same time announce the truce treaty."

Swain finished speaking slowly.

Lu Qi could naturally tell that Swain's words actually represented Noxus' disguised submission.

After all, such a large empire cannot admit defeat.

Their dignity doesn't allow it.

After thinking about it, Lu Qi said: "Demacia has been victorious all the way, but this reason is not enough."

"What I say next is not a threat. I just hope that we can all think about it seriously."

Swain looked at Lucci with slightly condensed eyes and said, "If Demacia is ready to lose both sides with Noxus, then please ignore my proposal for a truce."

The "both sides suffer" in his words does not mean that both sides were seriously injured in the end.

But if Demacia insists on continuing the fight, it will be a fight to the death.

In the end, only one can exist, Demacia and Noxus.

The situation of the other one who survived was not much better.

Naturally, everyone here can understand what he means.

This is indeed not a threat. After all, there is no such thing as a threat on the negotiation table between countries.

All words spoken are spoken on their own terms.

Tiana heard this and smiled lightly: "Are you a little too confident? The final situation may not be a lose-lose situation for both parties."

Swain looked at her and shook his head slightly, with a look of seriousness in his eyes: "No, this is not confidence, but a kind of determination. Confidence can no longer affect possession, only determination can. Everyone has their own beliefs. , and the faith to sacrifice everything. I believe this, and no one understands this better than you Demacians."

Tiana calmed down.

Indeed, no one knows determination better than Demacia.

It is precisely because generations of Demacia's ancestors have a determination to contribute to the collective that they have been able to stand in Runeterra for so long.

When Swain said these words, his eyes flashed with unwavering determination.

Maybe he doesn't think that the final result will be a lose-lose situation, but he will do it with such determination.

Tiana has seen such a look before.

It is indeed not easy for such a person to serve as the leader of Noxus.

Tiana finally stopped expressing her opinion because she knew that the person who should make the decision was not her, but Lu Qi.

If Lu Qi wants to fight, then she will continue to fight with him without hesitation.

Lev next to him had the same idea.

This is true for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the city at this moment.

They had already possessed the determination that Swain mentioned. If Lucci chose to continue fighting, no one would hesitate for even a moment.

Even if you will pay for it with your life.

"I will give you an answer tomorrow. Let's rest here for the night." Lu Qi looked at Swain and said.

Swain stared at him, then nodded: "Okay."

He believed that Lu Qi would make the right judgment.

The meeting did not last long, probably not even twenty minutes in total.

Because it's said to be a meeting, but it's actually just giving both sides an opportunity to assess each other's strength.

Before the talks began, both parties actually knew enough about each other.

Swain and several of his followers were temporarily retained, but were given a certain degree of freedom to move around a fixed area.

But they must also be strictly guarded to prevent them from taking advantage of the opportunity to do evil.

However, Lu Qi knew that Swain's purpose of coming here this time was probably to negotiate peace.

After leaving the interview room and walking on the street, Lu Qi asked: "Auntie, what do you think?"

Tiana smiled and said, "You kid has already thought of the answer, right?"

"It seems that you understand me, aunt."

Lu Qi smiled and looked at the distant sky, "We have tasted enough sweetness, there is no need to taste the rest that is not sweet."

This day would come. In fact, Lu Qi had always expected it.

No matter whether Noxus is currently talking about Darkwill or Swain, it will eventually reach this point one day.

However, Swain is far more decisive than Darkwill in doing things.

After taking the position, he didn't hesitate for a moment and quickly found the best way to solve this problem.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to come to the door for peace talks in person.

If it were Darkwill, this arrogant and arrogant leader, he would only realize what to do next after he truly felt the heavy blow from Demacia and made countless sacrifices.

For both parties today, a truce is indeed the best option.

After all, even Lu Qi didn't set out to destroy the country in the first place. He just calculated the timing and found the most suitable time to attack.

During this period, Darkwill had just invested a large number of troops into Ionia and was thinking about the elixir. At the same time, the Black Rose was completely exposed to the public. And a major political change is also brewing secretly.

It can be said that Noxus as a whole seemed very busy during this period, and everyone was busy in their own way.

For Demacia, it is naturally a rare opportunity.

But things are different now. Swain has seized power, and the overall political situation in Noxus will be reshuffled.

When everyone's eyes are fixed on one person, that is when the collective cohesion is strongest.

Just like Swain said, Demacia does seem to be stronger than Noxus now.

But Noxus has also stood in Runeterra for hundreds of years.

Such a powerful empire has a profound foundation. In other words, they can afford to fight a life-for-life war.

Moreover, Noxus must still have a few trump cards hidden today.

Not to mention anything else, it was obviously impossible for the one living under the Immortal Fortress to watch Noxus being defeated and wiped out.

Demacia fought here and made very few sacrifices, but in exchange for such a large area of ​​gleaming silver mountains, it can be said that it has been a huge gain.

Even if you continue to fight, you may still win, but it will definitely not be as easy as now.

There is no need for Lucci to sacrifice human life to accumulate victory. The life of every Demacia warrior is precious.

What we should actually do now is slowly digest these lands and completely make them owned by Demacia.

Once here, Lu Qi felt that it was time to start the next step.

Evening comes.

On top of the city wall.

Swain stood quietly on the city wall, looking towards Noxus in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.

Standing in the city that was once Noxus, looking at my hometown, this feeling is very helpless and powerless.

But there is really no way.

If he could have come back a few months earlier, I'm afraid the ending would have been different.

Maybe, this is fate.

That prince gave him a very extraordinary feeling, and after seeing the powerful soldiers of Demacia with his own eyes, he knew what kind of enemy Noxus faced.

Different from all the enemies we have come into contact with before, Demacia is the most special among them.

At present, Noxus, under the rule of Darkwill, has been fighting in all directions all year round, investing a lot of troops and resources.

In addition to this battle with Demacia, hundreds of thousands of troops were lost in vain, as well as countless money and resources.

So wasted.

It really takes some time to cultivate. If you continue to fight, I'm afraid it will only lead to the worst result.

They had no choice but to admit that they were in the hands of Demacia.

Looking at the history of Noxus, this may be the first time.

Swain was in a particularly heavy mood, staring in the direction of Noxus and not looking away for a long time.

Night is coming soon.

The temperature got a little cooler at night and there was a gentle breeze.

On top of a high tower, Catalina sat quietly on it, looking into the distance with a pair of enchanted eyes, her red hair blowing in the wind.

At this moment, she didn't think about anything, she just looked at the scenery in her eyes, lost in thought for a long time.

At this time, she felt a figure falling behind her, but she did not look back and still sat quietly.

It wasn't until he sat down beside her that Catalina turned her head and looked at that gentle and handsome face.

"We left in such a hurry last time that we didn't even have a few words to talk."

Lu Qi blew the cool breeze and said slowly.

Catalina was silent for a moment and then said, "It seems there is nothing left to talk about between us."

"Yes, there is one right now."

Lu Qi smiled and said, "Do you think I should agree to the truce proposed by Swain?"

Catalina stared at him, but did not give an answer.

She naturally hopes to agree, so that they will no longer be enemies.

But can she really control Lu Qi's wishes?

Obviously not.

After thinking about it, she turned her head, looked forward, and said coldly: "It's your decision. What do you ask me for?"

Hearing this, Lu Qi glanced at her with complicated eyes, sighed softly, and showed an apologetic expression: "The grievances between Demacia and Noxus cannot be resolved so easily. I'm sorry, I "

After hearing his words, Catalina felt a pain in her heart, as if she already knew something.

Before Lu Qi could finish speaking, she suddenly raised her head and leaned over, blocked his mouth with her mouth, interrupted his words, and then quickly separated.

In the blink of an eye, she had stood up and retreated, standing on the high tower. The hazy moonlight fell on her body, and there was a touch of sadness and determination in her bright green eyes.

"I was born as a Noxian, and I should fight for Noxus." She looked at Lu Qi, showed her dagger cruelly, and said, "You and I have different positions, so from now on, we will be enemies."

On one side was her homeland, Noxus.

On the other side was Lu Qi, who made her happy, angry and sad. After not seeing him for several months, she already knew her feelings.

His face always flashed in her mind, and she thought of him from time to time, which made Catalina realize that she had fallen in love with someone she shouldn't have loved.

And he led his troops to attack Noxus.

Before overthrowing Darkwill, she could still find reasons and excuses.

But now, caught between the two, she had to make a choice.

In the end, she could never give up on Noxus, the place where she grew up, and the bond she had planted was hard to let go.

There was a dull pain in her heart. She had never felt like being cut open by a knife, so painful that it hurt her heart.

Katarina knew that she would not be Lu Qi's opponent, so she wanted to end the bad relationship between the two directly.

"It's just like filming a TV series."

Lu Qi looked at Catalina's wavering eyes under the moonlight and smiled, "I haven't finished speaking yet, so please don't be so pretentious."

Catalina paused and stared at Lu Qi.

Lu Qi continued what he just said: "I just went to Swain and agreed to a truce."

As soon as the words fell, Catalina was stunned, "What did you say?"

"I have agreed to a truce."

"Then why did you say sorry?"

"Isn't it okay to say something?"

"Oral You"

Catalina suppressed her words forcefully, gritted her teeth and glared at Lu Qi, feeling the anger rising in her chest.

Familiar feeling, familiar taste!

This damn bitch, was he just teasing her on purpose?

"Don't stare at me like that." Lu Qi said with an innocent smile, "Did you just take the opportunity to molest me?"

"Me? Molested you?"

Catalina asked in disbelief, staring at this guy with a pair of eyes that were about to burst into flames.

Damn it, I did get a little high just now.

She even planned to die.

"Forget it, I forgive you." Lu Qi showed a smile that didn't deserve a beating, and then said, "Although I agreed to a truce, I also made a request to him. That is, from now on, you must Continue to be my bed-warming maid, Swain immediately agreed upon hearing this."

When Catalina heard this, her brows suddenly wrinkled and she said angrily: "Why does he have the right to make decisions for me without permission?"

She was about to leave immediately to find Swain's theory.

But then he thought again and looked at Lu Qi suspiciously.

"Yes, I just want to tease you."

Lu Qi seemed not to notice Catalina's gritted teeth and smiled, "You are already the leader of Trifali Council. It's too humiliating to be my bed-warming maid."

Catalina didn't answer. To be honest, she still missed the past time.

Seeing that she was still standing there, Lu Qi patted the seat next to him and said, "Don't be so nervous. After the truce, we are no longer enemies. In the proposed treaty, in the next period of time, Demacia will Texas enters peaceful coexistence mode."

After hearing this, Catalina remembered this, so she put away the dagger and sat down next to Lu Qi.

But soon, she felt a little more embarrassed.

After all, just a minute ago, she looked like she was dying.

Noxus or Lucci, she chose either.

After all, no matter what you choose, you will definitely regret it in the end.

I thought, just have a fight with Lu Qi here, and after losing, die.

It turns out that this bitch deliberately said it in a tone that was misleading.

At this moment, Catalina felt relieved, feeling that the boulder pressing on her shoulders was suddenly lifted.

Even if it is true as Lu Qi said, the grievances between Demacia and Noxus cannot be easily resolved.

But, at least for the next period of time, they are no longer enemies, right?

Perhaps, she could find a way to reconcile the two parties during this time.

This way you can never be an enemy again.

While distracted, Catalina suddenly felt her hand being covered by another hand and then held inside.

She struggled subconsciously and gave up after failing to free herself.

Feeling the warmth radiating from that big hand, her heart was quickly occupied by a sudden strange feeling.

It just feels like my heart is going to jump out of my chest.

She knew clearly that this guy was not a good person, but she was still inadvertently occupied by his figure in her mind and heart.

"You looked quite handsome just now."

Lu Qi said with a smile at this time.

"Don't mention it."

Catalina glanced at him unhappily, "Are you very proud of pushing me to that point?"

"I don't mind, and I just want to tease you. Who would have thought you would react so much."

Lu Qi said innocently.

Looking at Catalina's increasingly cold eyes, he immediately said: "Okay, I did this wrong. In order to express my apology, I voluntarily be molested again."

Hearing these words, Catalina laughed angrily and spat coldly: "You are so shameless."

The next second, she raised her head and quickly approached.

Under the bright moonlight, on the top of the tower, this kiss seemed particularly long.

This chapter was reviewed last night and has only been released now without interruption.
