Chapter 472 Surrender
Jericho Swain never imagined that one day he would betray the Empire.

No, that's not right. Now that the empire is gone, his service in the new government cannot be considered a betrayal of the empire. The demise of the empire has little to do with him. He does not have the power to turn the tide and can only watch the empire perish.

As for dying for the empire, he was not so loyal. He had no objection as long as he could survive and hold an important position in the new government. It could be considered as re-employment after being laid off.

With the help of Jericho Swain, a native of the Immortal Bastion, the armies of Piltover and Zaun entered the city and quickly took control of the situation.

Of course, Vladimir also helped a lot. The old vampire worked hard, especially after seeing that Jericho Swain was appreciated by Ke Ling, Vladimir worked even harder. He didn't want to be stepped on by this man. Jericho Swain had questioned him before.

In comparison, Jericho Swain was much calmer. He had a very positive mentality and did not fight or compete. He obeyed all arrangements. He knew that now was not the time for him to perform. He would do whatever Lord Ke Ling asked him to do and do his best. He would never act freely.

Jericho Swain ignored Vladimir's competition. He felt that he and the opponent were not on the same track at all.

First of all, he doesn't know magic, and he doesn't understand the shadows behind the empire. He won't be able to handle those things even if you ask him to.

Jericho Swain saw it very clearly. Some things should be done by Vladimir. Everyone has his or her own expertise. If you rashly rush into doing something you don't understand, you won't appear capable, but will only bring yourself unnecessary trouble.

Jericho Swain is indeed a very smart man. Not only is he capable of getting things done, his political wisdom is also top-notch. He is a man born to be a commander-in-chief.

On the other side, Vladimir is working hard to complete his task. His task is quite difficult, and it is indeed something only he can do. Jericho Swain definitely cannot do it. He is assigned to persuade LeBlanc and her "Black Rose" to surrender.

Deep inside the Immortal Fortress, Leblanc appeared. She looked at Vladimir and asked with a complicated expression:
"Vladimir, are you really going to completely side with him?"

LeBlanc has seen everything that happened in the city since the Immortal Bastion opened its doors and surrendered. Jericho Swain was an accident. She didn't expect that the lord would promote this guy. Was he targeting her on purpose?
It's no wonder that LeBlanc thought too much. After all, she was the first one to discover the talent of Jericho Swain. It was she who gave Jericho Swain the opportunity to perform. Although it was an exploitation, it would only be worthwhile if Jericho Swain was really capable.

LeBlanc asked Jericho Swain to wipe them out, but of course she couldn't make it too fake. She needed to let Jericho Swain unravel the mystery and walk into her trap little by little. The fact is, if she replaced him with a dumber person, he would definitely not be able to cooperate with her script well.

If the appearance of Jericho Swain was a bit surprising to LeBlanc, then the activeness of Vladimir was really not a surprise to LeBlanc.

Vladimir has been like this since a long time ago.

Under the rule of this new ruler, Vladimir didn't even need to hide his identity anymore, because his abilities were nothing, at least not in front of that adult.

"Why not? Leblanc, you still don't understand how powerful that adult is."

Vladimir spoke up and said that he had now completely submitted to Ke Ling because he could not see any possibility of defeating Ke Ling. That adult was not from the same world as them.

".You don't want to be in control anymore?"

Leblanc asked unwillingly.

"."

Vladimir was silent. To be honest, he was still a little unwilling, but in the face of reality, that unwillingness didn't seem to matter anymore, because it was no longer possible.

"Now I truly believe what you said, Lord Ke Ling. He is indeed more terrifying than Mordekaiser. Moreover, he is still alive and a legend. He is more terrifying than the King of the Dead. Leblanc, stop insisting in vain."

Vladimir has now become the "number one Ke fan". There is no other way. He has the most direct feeling of Ke Ling's terror. He started to persuade Leblanc, hoping that she could be more sensible.

"."

Leblanc was speechless for a moment. She was the one who used these words to persuade Vladimir before, but now the situation has turned around. She just didn't want Vladimir to provoke that adult, but who would have thought that this guy would slide to his knees as soon as he saw someone!

"Stop holding on to your fantasy of a black rose."

Vladimir said that if Leblanc still insisted, he would use his influence in the "Black Rose" and would directly try to split the "Black Rose"!
"."

LeBlanc was silent. She was different from Vladimir. She had always been hiding behind the scenes, secretly controlling everything, stirring up wars everywhere. She had always played the role of a behind-the-scenes manipulator. Now it was difficult for her to accept submitting to others again.

"Hehe, Leblanc, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Seeing Leblanc's attitude, Vladimir sneered. He had said everything he could say. Good words could not persuade a damned ghost. If Leblanc was determined to commit suicide, no one could do anything.

"Is it not okay if I just want to continue lurking?"

LeBlanc was very unwilling. The "Black Rose" remained silent from then on, slowly faded out of people's sight, and waited for the situation to change. Is this not acceptable?

"How can we allow others to sleep peacefully on the side of the bed?"

Vladimir replied that he had also asked Lord Keling this question, and the answer given by the Lord was so direct.

Ke Ling did not leave LeBlanc with many choices: either surrender or die with the "Black Rose".

"."

Leblanc gritted her teeth. The "Pale Witch" who had roamed the world for many years felt very powerless at this moment. She didn't like this feeling, the feeling of being threatened but unable to fight back.

"I'll take the people away."

In the end, LeBlanc made a difficult decision. She decided to take her people away, take the "Black Rose" away from the land of "Noxus", and she wanted to control other countries.

"It's useless to leave. Do you think your steps will stop after conquering Noxus? Of course not. This is just the beginning. The pace of conquest will not stop until the whole world submits to your might."

Vladimir opened his arms with a fanatical look on his face. Lord Keling's ambition was to conquer the world. And it was not just talk, it was a real plan that had to be implemented immediately!

"Noxus" has not yet been completely pacified, but the army has begun to move, and it is divided into two routes, one heading north, heading straight to Freljord, and the other heading west, heading straight to Demacia.

Not only these two armies, but there are also armies constantly emerging from the "Shadow Gate". After a period of time, two more armies will set out, one heading south, straight to Shurima, and the other heading east by water, with the target being Ionia.

Conquering the world is obviously not just a slogan, but a real plan to be implemented. Even "Noxus" was easily crushed. Vladimir doesn't think that other places can stop Lord Keling's army. I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before the world is unified.

"."

LeBlanc was silent. Only then did she realize that the armies had already begun to turn their attention to "Freljord" and "Demacia". The progress of the attack was indeed a bit fast.

In this way, the "Black Roses" really have nowhere to go.
"So, tell me your choice, LeBlanc. There must be a result today, and you'd better not make things difficult for me." Looking at LeBlanc, Vladimir's expression has gradually become cold. This is the last chance. If LeBlanc is still stubborn, then he will really forget their friendship.

"How will you arrange us?"

In the end, Leblanc's attitude softened. To be honest, she was also frightened by Ke Ling's posture of attacking from all sides. This posture of wanting to swallow up the world was indeed intimidating.

Moreover, after the example of "Noxus", no one dares to say that they can't do it. At least for the people of "Noxus", they all feel that the success rate is very high.

Because "Noxus" originally had the ambition to swallow up the world, but before "Noxus" could even make a move, it was directly crushed in front of Ke Ling's army. Wouldn't it be easier for Ke Ling's army to fight other forces?
Leblanc naturally thought of this, so she finally chose to surrender, but she didn't want to be idle. She wanted to continue working and continue to control power.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be something for you. Our Black Rose will not be banned, but will become a regular department under Lord Ke Ling."

Hearing that LeBlanc finally gave in, Vladimir also laughed and started to chant "We the Black Rose" again. Just now he was chanting "You Black Roses", and the main point was that her body was flexible.

"What job?"

Leblanc's mouth twitched, and she ignored Vladimir and continued to ask.

"The main responsibilities should be supervision and intelligence gathering. They are two different systems from the war masons in the military."

Vladimir said that this power and responsibility is quite broad, and supervision and intelligence are not marginal powers and responsibilities.

"I understand."

Hearing this, Leblanc sighed. These responsibilities were not too surprising. After all, this was what the "Black Rose" was supposed to do. Gathering intelligence everywhere was considered making the best use of their resources.

"Come on, follow me to see the master."

Vladimir motioned for LeBlanc to follow him.

Conquering the "Black Rose" was definitely a great achievement for him, so he was very happy and even walked with a lightness in his voice.

"."

Looking at Vladimir's smug expression, Leblanc gritted her teeth. She really wanted to give this guy a hard time!
Under the leadership of Vladimir, Leblanc came to the "Immortal Fortress" and came to the palace belonging to the emperor.

On the high throne, Ke Ling's figure appeared in the shadows, and he sat lazily on the throne.

"My lord, Leblanc of the Black Rose is willing to surrender."

Seeing Ke Ling appear, Vladimir immediately bowed and spoke.

"My lord, Black Rose is willing to serve you."

Leblanc was no longer reserved. She also bowed and expressed her submission.

"Very good. I like people who know what's good for them. Vladimir should have told you the responsibilities you are responsible for, right?"

Ke Ling nodded and spoke with a smile.

"Yes, sir, I understand."

LeBlanc lowered her head and answered respectfully.

"Do a good job. I have high hopes for you. The black rose should bloom."

Ke Ling continued to speak, although in his impression, "Black Rose" was just a troublemaker who was always stirring up trouble in the world.

But one thing that cannot be denied is that even if one wants to stir up trouble, one must have some level of ability, and must have enough influence, enough intelligence, and enough ability to act around the world. Otherwise, one simply will not have the ability to stir up trouble.

"Yes, my lord, the black rose will bloom again in your hands."

LeBlanc is also very good at talking. When Ke Ling said "the black rose will bloom again", she said "the black rose will bloom again in Ke Ling's hands", which really showed her loyalty thoroughly.

"."

Vladimir glanced at LeBlanc and thought to himself that this old guy LeBlanc was very capable when he got serious.

Ke Ling nodded, accepting Leblanc's statement of allegiance.

"Your next job is to cooperate with Swain and stabilize Noxus."

Looking at the two "Black Rose" leaders below, Ke Ling gave orders.

"Yes, my lord."

LeBlanc and Vladimir naturally couldn't refuse, so they both responded.

"That guy is not easy to deal with. I hope he doesn't bear a grudge against me."
LeBlanc thought to herself that the dirty work between her and Jericho Swain was not ordinary, and she knew very well that Jericho Swain was a real ruthless person.

Jericho Swain was born into a noble family that was one of the founding fathers of Noxus, and was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

When Jericho Swain was still unknown, LeBlanc plotted against him, and among the "Black Rose" members executed by Jericho Swain, even his biological parents were included.

It can be said that the hatred between Jericho Swain and LeBlanc is the hatred for the murder of their parents, which is not small.

But, in fact, LeBlanc was not too worried, because she knew that in the heart of Jericho Swain, the value of parents was far less than the country and the power in his hands.

"Okay, now, let's talk about the Immortal Bastion, Mordekaiser, and of course, the demons."

After arranging all this, Ke Ling brought up something new, which was also something that must be paid attention to after arriving at the "Immortal Fortress".
