Urgent Deployment

After hearing Jarvan's description, I roughly understand that Lux and Sylas's meeting was the catalyst for all of this.

Then I remembered the Magic Circle in her house, and wondered how it was doing, "Why haven't I seen Lux? Did she go back to the City of Light?"

"She was kidnapped by Sylas." Garen said angrily, "I still don't know how he managed to break free of the Nullstone, or even use it as a weapon."

What about Sylas?

"He has escaped Silver City and gathered followers to wreak havoc everywhere. Now he has become a rather powerful mage force, and he will probably attack here again. He hates me."

"So, can you stop them now?"

"If it were just a localized rebellion, things would be much simpler. But now the whole of Demacia is in chaos, our forces are too scattered, and many of them are powerful mages."

Garen's face showed worry, not only because of Lux, but also because of Demacia.

"Is there really no other way?" I continued to ask, wanting to see what his solution would be.

"Right now, the only threats to them, besides the few high-ranking mages from the Tabor Family, are General Dali's Axe Breaker Legion. He's been training his soldiers' magic resistance, but... they're still difficult to deal with."

Faced with both external and internal troubles, Garen was somewhat at a loss. At that moment, I offered an idea. "Actually, there's another way."

Jarvan's eyes lit up when he heard my words. "I knew you came with a plan, stop beating around the bush."

"Get the Noxus army to help!"

"No way!" Garen refused without even thinking.

"Don't rush, General Garen. Let Yasuo have his say." Jarvan trusted me completely.

"Forget it, let's ask General Garen to inform everyone that we'll go to the council chamber to discuss this. This isn't something we can decide on our own."

Now all five major families are gathered in the palace. This decision requires everyone's consent, especially King Jarvan III.

Upon hearing Garen's summons, many people arrived at the council chamber. However, because I had killed Bordewin, only Fiora from the Laurent Family participated in the meeting.

People were very puzzled as to why the man who had openly assassinated the head of the Laurent Family not long ago would come here again. The king also harbored resentment towards me, and his expression was cold.

"I heard from General Garen that you have a method to quell the rebellion. Could you please share it with me?"

"First of all, please don't be angry, because this is indeed feasible: to unite with Noxus to quell this rebellion!"

Upon hearing my words, the people immediately began to clamor, all claiming I was Noxus to persuade them to surrender. Fiora loudly silenced them:

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to what His Your Majesty has to say!"

The king, equally furious, demanded, "Then tell me, how do we unite with Noxus?"

"Darius and I get along well, so it won't be difficult for me to mediate."

You mean he'll listen to you?

"No, I only understand his long-cherished wish. The Darius of today is no longer the cold-blooded the Conqueror he once was; he wants to unite the entire Runeterra without shedding a drop of blood."

"A bloodless victory? That sounds nice, but I can't believe him."

"I can't either..." The other families chimed in, some even resorting to profanity.

I'm not good with words to begin with, and all I did was offer them a suggestion, which left me speechless.

Of course I won't be disappointed, because I'm here to see Fiora, and I don't care about the fate of Demacia.

During the conversation, more than ten scouts had brought battle reports, mostly bad news. At this point, Garen suggested:

"The situation in Silver City has basically stabilized. Now we should take the initiative, otherwise Sylas will eventually attack here."

The king's expression was resolute. "I think so too. This time, I will personally lead the expedition against them!"

May Your Majesty enjoy great military success!

Hearing the crowd's support, I was curious why no one was trying to dissuade the king. Jarvan quietly told me that the king had led troops into battle many times when he was young, and the name of Jarvan III still terrifies the northern barbarians.

Next, everyone took this opportunity to formulate a detailed battle plan:

First, recall the soldiers who were fighting in various places and have them cover the local nobles to seek refuge in Silver City.

Then Jon led the high-ranking mages of the Tabor Family to support General Dali, who was negotiating with Sylas's main force.

Finally, the Dauntless Vanguard and the remaining soldiers were divided into two groups, led by Garen and the King respectively, to outflank the Rebel Army.

"They were just a rabble who caught us off guard. Now, under the might of our righteous army, all evil will vanish!"

Demacia, forever!

The council chamber was filled with heated debate, making me feel utterly superfluous, especially since I had just given them a terrible idea.

Riven shrugged at me. "Looks like they don't appreciate your efforts."

"There's nothing we can do about it; the Demacia are just that stubborn. But their spirit is admirable. If they can solve a problem on their own, they'll never rely on others."

"So what do we do next? Do you need any help?"

"I'll ask Fiora later; I want to help her."

"Is she really a highly skilled swordsman? You can't tell from her appearance."

"You'll know once you have a match with her."

Riven and I were chatting when Fiora walked over. "Let's go, there's nothing more for you here, let's go home."

Going home, what a warm and comforting word.

We followed Fiora back to her mansion, which was already dilapidated, and was now in a terrible state after Sylas's riot.

Nora came out to greet us from afar, her face beaming with a radiant smile, "Young master, young lady, welcome back!"

"I'm not your young master. How's your injury?"

Nora rolled up her sleeves. "Much better! I never imagined the head maid would betray us and secretly frame Miss!"

Upon entering the house, I found it to be very clean. Although there were only six or seven servants scattered around, everyone seemed happy, as if they were all free after the head maid left.

Felina and Fiana also made a brief appearance, but since the Fili couple had not yet recovered, they simply greeted them and left.

"Your name is Yasuo now, right?" Fiora asked me.

I'm sorry, you always look different when I see you.

At this moment, Riven interrupted us, "Um, can we catch up later? I want to have a match with Fiora first!"

"Oh? You want to have a match with me, little sister?"

"You'll soon discover that I'm not a little sister, but a powerful warrior!"

Okay, I hope you can give me some surprises.

For some reason, I sensed a strong tension in their conversation.
