Chapter 471 A sudden turn of events
Vladimir naturally accepted the task assigned by Ke Ling with pleasure. It was not a difficult decision for him to make.

The "Black Rose" is certainly a good unit, and he has a happy life in it, but a good bird chooses a tree to roost in, a good minister chooses a master to serve, and one cannot hang oneself on a tree. In short, the "Black Rose" is now going to be finished, and Vladimir feels no guilt about changing jobs.

And no matter what, he is also one of the founders of "Black Rose" and one of the original two partners. If he wants to leave "Black Rose", no one can say anything to him. His contribution to "Black Rose" is impeccable.

"All I can say is, good luck to Leblanc."

Vladimir returned to the "Immortal Fortress" with his guards. He came out quickly and returned quickly. The "Noxian" nobles had not even dispersed yet.

Vladimir swaggered back to the conference hall. Under the gaze of everyone, he opened his hands, raised his head, and said to everyone:

"I have received a promise. As long as we open the city and surrender, the armies of Piltover and Zaun will not harm us at all, and our property will be preserved! Those who perform well may continue to serve in the future government!"

Standing in the middle of the hall, Vladimir looked like a hero. Looking at his posture, it seemed as if he had reached some extraordinary agreement.

"."

The nobles of "Noxus" breathed a long sigh of relief. This was indeed the result they wanted to see. There was no need to fight, just open the city and surrender, and their property would be retained. Vladimir had indeed reached a remarkable agreement.

Not to mention the last surprise, those who perform well may continue to serve in the new government? !
This is very important, because if you only have money, it is very unsafe! Therefore, among these people, as long as someone can take power, the others will definitely support him.

Although Vladimir performed well and reached a treaty that exceeded everyone's expectations.

But now our country is about to be destroyed, and we have taken the initiative to open the city and surrender. Even if we feel relieved, we certainly cannot celebrate here. Is that appropriate?

"You guys are so boring."

The performance did not receive applause from the audience, and Vladimir found it very boring. These hypocritical "Noxian nobles" should all be swept into the trash. What bullshit promises were made, which never happened. He just made them up to deceive people.

That's right, he was deliberately deceiving these fools. Lord Ke Ling's attitude was much tougher than his. He didn't take these people seriously at all. If they didn't want to surrender, he would just kill them. He didn't give these nobles any chance to negotiate terms.

Vladimir's bold move was simply out of his own bad taste. He wanted to give these people some hope first, and then take away their hope and everything!
Looking at those hypocritical nobles who pretended to be heartbroken over the loss of their country but were actually extremely happy in their hearts, Vladimir only hoped that when they were about to die, they could still be happy in their hearts like they are now.

"Is this your decision?"

Someone among the nobles stood up and questioned Vladimir.

"Ok?"

Vladimir looked at the man. He was a young nobleman who was not very old. Vladimir had some impression of him.

"Jericho Swain, do you have any comments?"

Vladimir asked Jericho Swain, who had stood up, with a smile on his face.

The reason why he had an impression of this young noble was because of the "Pale Witch" LeBlanc. Jericho Swain was the poor guy who was used as a gun by LeBlanc.

On the surface, it was Jericho Swain who eradicated the mysterious society "Black Rose", but in fact he just helped LeBlanc and the others hide deeper.

At this moment, the poor guy suddenly jumped out. Vladimir was quite curious about what he wanted to say. To be chosen by LeBlanc and become one of the protagonists in the drama, Jericho Swain must have many outstanding qualities.

"You, the shadows standing behind the empire, have you finally made this choice? After we surrender, can you still continue to control this empire? Why don't you stand up and turn the tide? Where is your power? The power that has allowed you to rule the empire for so many years?!"

Jericho Swain stood up, pointed at Vladimir and questioned loudly. The young noble who had not yet obtained the power of the devil now seemed very powerless.

At this time, Jericho Swain had not yet participated in the "Ionian War" and had not yet almost died due to secret persecution.

His body was still intact, and he was even still young, but the price of being young, the price of nothing having happened, was that he now had no strength to face everything that was about to happen.

"What nonsense are you talking about, man?"

Faced with Jericho Swain's questioning, Vladimir's face froze for a moment, but only for a moment. Then he smiled and shook his head, looking at Jericho Swain as if he were a madman.

"Poor guy, he must love this empire too much. The current situation is unacceptable to him and has stimulated his spirit to the point that he is now talking nonsense."

Vladimir, with a look of sympathy on his face, directly judged Jericho Swain as a "madman", a madman who talked nonsense.

The other nobles around were all silent. Jericho Swain's words were like a slide that could not be touched!

Of course, most people didn’t actually know much about the “shadow behind the empire” and just looked at Jericho Swain with sympathy. They thought that this guy was really traumatized and his brain was a little abnormal.

".I want to see how you continue to control this country."

After being humiliated by Vladimir, Jericho Swain remained calm. He stared at the insects coldly, then turned and left. He wanted to watch the enemy army enter the city with his own eyes, and he wanted to witness the final demise of the empire with his own eyes.

"Okay, the annoying guy has left, so everyone should hurry up and get ready. Next, it's time to send the army into the city."

Vladimir breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jericho Swain leave and not pester them any further. He was actually very surprised that Jericho Swain had actually spied on them and spied on the "Black Rose" hidden behind the empire.

The guy that LeBlanc found is indeed quite capable, but his level is suspected to be a bit too high.

Under normal circumstances, if the empire was not about to collapse, Vladimir would definitely let LeBlanc find a way to kill Jericho Swain as soon as possible. This guy is a huge destabilizing factor and might cause them a lot of trouble.

But now, this Jericho Swain has managed to escape with his life, and there is no need for them to target this guy anymore. The empire is gone, and there is no need for the shadow behind the empire to exist. Lord Ke Ling does not need this shadow to exist, because he himself is the biggest shadow behind the empire.

Soon, the gate of the "Immortal Fortress" was opened, and the nobles of "Noxus" surrendered collectively, unarmed, and walked out directly. Vladimir led the way, and no matter what others thought, he was proud. After paying homage to the New Wharf, he naturally had to think from the perspective of the New Wharf. For Vladimir, he had now made a great contribution, so he was naturally very proud.

The armies of "Piltover" and "Zaun" came over, surrounded them and took them all under control. They did not look very friendly, which made the nobles look at Vladimir.

Vladimir's treatment was obviously different from that of these nobles. As a surrenderer who had been accepted by Ke Ling, he naturally didn't need to squeeze together with those people anymore.

"Vladimir?! What the hell is going on?!"

Some nobles noticed something was wrong and questioned Vladimir loudly.

"That's how it is. A loser should have the awareness of a loser."

Vladimir had a smile on his face and he bowed to the nobles, but his smile was so hateful in the eyes of others.

Gradually, everyone realized that they seemed to have been fooled by Vladimir and they had all been sold out by this guy!

"You just realized it now? Isn't it a little late?"

Jericho Swain shook his head with a sarcastic smile on his face. These nobles were really insects. They were secretly happy even after being sold out. There was a reason why the empire had come to this point.

Although he had long known that the nobles were a bunch of good-for-nothings, it was not until this moment that he realized how stupid these people were.

Looking at these people, Jericho Swain suddenly didn't feel so sad about the demise of the empire. If the empire didn't make changes, its demise was only a matter of time.

"Who's Swain? Jericho Swain? Is he here?"

As the nobles were being taken away for detention, Jericho Swain was named, which made everyone look at him. The nobles were confused, not knowing why Jericho Swain was singled out, and not knowing whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"I'm here, what's wrong?"

Jericho Swain himself was very calm. He stood up and looked at the android woman who called him.

"Come with me, you don't have to go with them."

The android woman led the way, motioning for Jericho Swain to follow her.

"."

Jericho Swain was confused. He didn't understand what was going on. What was going on? Was it because of what he had questioned Vladimir before? Did that guy hold a grudge against him?
Apart from this, Jericho Swain really couldn't understand why he should be treated differently. He was not a famous figure among these powerful people.

He was taken away, and it seemed that the people were quite polite to him, which made those powerful people very anxious. They looked at Jericho Swain with jealousy, and each of them wanted to replace him.

In their minds, they all thought that Jericho Swain had also betrayed them first, just like Vladimir, otherwise why would he be treated differently?
Jericho Swain didn't care at all about the gazes of those dignitaries. He had already regarded those guys as maggots without any independent thinking ability, so he didn't care what they thought at all. He quietly followed the people in front of him, constantly thinking about the reasons in his heart.

Jericho Swain certainly couldn't figure out the real reason, because the reason why Ke Ling wanted to see him was because he was Jericho Swain, the "Grand Commander of Noxus". Jericho Swain certainly couldn't foresee what would happen in the future.

"please."

The android woman invited Jericho Swain into a large tent, where Ke Ling was waiting for his arrival.

After entering the big tent, Jericho Swain was a little confused, but after seeing Ke Ling, he immediately felt a huge pressure in his heart. It was a pressure on the soul level. Especially for humans, Ke Ling's pressure went straight to the depths of the soul.

"Sir, are you looking for me?"

With his scalp tingling, Jericho Swain asked.

"It's okay, I just think you are a promising talent."

Looking at Jericho Swain, Ke Ling smiled and spoke, and as he smiled, the pressure that Jericho Swain felt immediately disappeared, as if it were an illusion.

But Jericho Swain knew that it was definitely not an illusion. That kind of pressure was real. The man in front of him was not even on the same level of life as them.

"I"

Jericho Swain didn't know what to say. He had no idea how he had caught the attention of this adult, and how he was considered a promising talent by this adult.

Before this, he could be 100% sure that he had never seen this adult. Given this adult's demeanor, if he had seen him, he would definitely not forget him!

"Don't be nervous. You don't have to worry about how I know you. If you don't understand, you just need to do your job with confidence. In this new government, I will leave a place for you and give you the opportunity to show your talents."

Ke Ling spoke up and made arrangements for Jericho Swain directly.

".Yes, sir, thank you for your kindness."

Since Ke Ling had already said so, Jericho Swain naturally had no choice but to accept this pie in the sky.

The current situation is really like pie in the sky for him. He originally thought that he would be like those powerful people and lose everything completely. However, as luck would have it, he was actually arranged into the new government team.

"You are familiar with the Immortal Bastion and Noxus. You must take responsibility."

Ke Ling continued speaking, adding more burden to Jericho Swain.

Jericho Swain naturally understood what this meant, and he was excited. This meant that he not only joined the government team, but was also a very important member of it!
