Chapter 246 [0244] Black Clothes Crossing the Sea, Beigang Incident

Finally, Swain successfully reached a consensus with these secret messengers who were hiding their heads and showing their tails.

After these guys agreed on a time and left Hedoram, Swain quickly issued a gathering order.

After receiving the order, the veterans in Hedoram quickly assembled their troops - because they were all elite soldiers who survived the Ionian War. Even if the organization was almost broken up, there was absolutely no shortage of grassroots officers.

Relying on his former core team and a group of grassroots officers, Swain quickly built a command system for the entire army, and formed a brand new army based on these veterans.

Unlike the Noxian army that used to be mainly structured by warbands, this army did not have its own "warband camp", and everyone had to bring their own dry food for logistics supplies. This time they came to Hedoram, completely inspired by Swain's reputation, and made a final desperate bet.

The next day, outside the city of Hedoram, Swain conducted a military review.

In front of all the soldiers, Swain gave a speech on the theme of regaining glory.

"In the eyes of many people, we are all losers, cripples with missing arms and legs, scum who survived the war..."

"But each of us knows that the reason for the failure of the war is not that we are not brave enough and united. What really defeated us was not the yellow-haired girl who led a group of militiamen to fight back in desperation. What really defeated us was those big men who hid behind us, took our spoils but were unwilling to support us with any supplies!"

"For us losers, the enemy is not in Preshiden, but in the Immortal Fortress!"

"Although we have lost our bodies and glory, it is not us who are really terminally ill, but Noxus. The once wise and powerful commander has now become a He has become a timid old man, and what we have to do is to set things right and reshape Noxus! "

"As the beginning of everything, we have to take over Piltover and occupy this progressive city. There is enough gold Hex to support us to recruit troops and horses, and there is Hex body transformation that allows us to embark on the war again. This is our first step to set things right and regain our glory. "

"Now, we have made all preparations. What we have to do next is to arrive at Piltover in silence like a moving mountain, and then crush everything that stands in our way-"

"Victory belongs to Noxus, to everyone in Noxus!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Swain's eloquence is beyond doubt. You know, in Ionia, when there was no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside, and the expeditionary army was almost out of ammunition and food, he was still able to boost morale and lead the last army to launch a Preshidian Campaign.

If Irelia's surprise attack had not directly injured Swain and almost completely destroyed the headquarters, the outcome of the Battle of Precision would still be unknown!

Now, all those who are willing to follow Swain to Hedoram are die-hards, so after the parade speech, when Swain issued the order to advance, the Noxians present cheered three times in unison, and then really followed Swain's request and fell silent like a mountain.

The three cheers just now seemed to be echoes echoing in the mountains, and quickly dissipated outside the city of Hedoram.

In the afternoon, several large ships finally came from the north along the ocean current.

And this army, as silent as a mountain, turned into black water and boarded these merchant ships flying the flag of the Gunoga family in an orderly manner.

According to Swain's request, a large amount of black coarse cloth had been prepared on the ship. The Noxian soldiers wearing black iron armor used swords to cut the black cloth into coats, barely covering the iron armor under their bodies.

Then, these ships set out from the port of Hedoram, followed the ocean current, and finally arrived outside the North Port of Piltover in the evening.

……………………

Lux and Kalja knew nothing about all this.

Even though Kalja was slightly wary of the demon after meeting Tam, he could never have imagined that someone was prepared to swallow an elephant with the help of the demon!

At this time, Lux and Sarah were at a welcome dinner - in addition to the formal talks, the two sides also needed a less formal occasion to communicate about business and trade.

However, although this was a high-profile banquet, unlike the usual toasts, the food and drinks at this banquet... were actually very ordinary.

It's not that the people of Zaun are stingy, but as the two largest food depressions in Runeterra, neither Zaun nor Bilgewater is very good at making these things.

For these two regimes that have been established for a short time, neither of them has any foundation to show. The basis of all cooperation comes from the future, so it is meaningless to make a lot of fancy details.

So, although it is called a banquet, its form is similar to a barbecue party - the only precious thing in the whole banquet is the Ionian specialty spices used to season the barbecue.

Even the drinks are rum that sailors often drink at sea.

This banquet format made everyone feel very comfortable and quickly shortened the distance between the two parties. A group of bitter people quickly reached a subtle mutual recognition. After a few glasses of wine, they all started to blow their lips without touching the door. The cowhide.

Under this situation, Sarah also tried to drink a few more drinks with Lux, but Lux, who knew better, simply asked Ino to cover her drink.

Ino, who has ice blood, is a man who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk in the true sense. After Raven was drunk, Sarah had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​giving Lux a little look, put down the wine glass, and talked with Lux. In an informal way, they discussed issues regarding the prices of goods from both parties and their own subsequent purchasing needs.

Everything looks harmonious and beautiful.

Until a clear cry sounded, and Wei hurriedly rushed into the banquet venue.

"Something happened in Piltover!" Vi immediately found Fander who was on guard nearby, and then they came to Lux together. "An army wearing black robes arrived about two hours ago. Piltover's North Port Pier... During the raid, almost the entire area on the north bank of the Piltover Canal has been captured!"

"See the flag?"

"There is no flag, but it is said that they got off the ship of the Cunokja family. Judging from the armor style, they look like Noxians!"

Kalya's Little Class·The Meaning of the Black Robe:

The charges at Sungate Port and Piltover Terminal are multiple. There are fees for collecting goods, fees for berthing and passage, and fees for people arriving at the ports.

Families that hold shares in Sungate will fly their family flags on their boats, and sailors will wear black robes when entering the port as a sign to tell the port staff that "this is their own ship, and these people do not have to pay port tax." ".
