I, Folyago, am the most devoted lover in Runeterra.

He also believed that these reinforcements were General Darkwell's response to his request for more troops.

The lack of information prevented Swain from connecting the 50,000 soldiers with Dukur's defeat.

"Great!"

Swain let out a soft sigh of relief, a long-lost sense of peace flashing in his eyes.

"Could it be a withdrawal of troops from the northern front?"

"Does the empire still have any troops it can mobilize at this moment?"

Swain asked, puzzled. Although he had previously requested reinforcements, he did not expect that the number of reinforcements he could get would not exceed ten thousand.

The arrival of 50,000 troops in one go was something Swain had not anticipated.

"I heard..."

"They are city defense legions, and also the private armies of nobles..."

Upon hearing this, the general spoke with some hesitation.

"I see........"

A hint of emotion and undisguised disappointment flashed in Swain's eyes.

As a general who had been in charge of the central government for a long time, how could Swain not know the character of the so-called "city defense legion" and "noble private army"?

Has a mighty empire really sunk to the point of sending these cannon fodder to the battlefield?

"But it's better than nothing..."

Swain sighed inwardly.

Chapter 259, The Restoration Alliance

Since the war began, too many things have happened that Swain never expected.

What surprised Swain the most was Dukur's defeat and the loss of contact with his troops.

This situation led Swain to conclude that Dukur's army had likely been completely wiped out.

Although Swain never took Dukur seriously, his agreement to the division of forces was merely to remove Dukur's obstacles.

The speed of Dukur's defeat was something Swain had not anticipated.

Unlike the well-informed Black Rose, Swain still hasn't figured out why Dukur was defeated.

When none of this matters.

Swain must overcome his current difficulties before he can have the opportunity to think about these things.

After the general who had delivered the message left, Swain stared blankly at the map in front of him, lost in thought.

Suddenly, a glint of light flashed in Swain's eyes.

The opportunity he had been waiting for was finally about to arrive!

.............

Rowan was unusually busy in the Warner Valley at this moment.

The dozens of wounded lying here are all waiting for Rowan's treatment.

Rowan is a magician who has achieved some success in the "440" way of nature and possesses a certain degree of healing magic.

After a period of busy work, Rowan exhausted his last bit of magic.

Of the dozens of wounded people in front of us, only half have been healed.

The remaining half can only be treated after Rowan's magic power recovers.

After casting the spell, Rowan bandaged the wounded man in front of him.

"call........"

Luo Wen let out a soft sigh of relief, then wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Thank you, Elder Luo Wen!"

The injured man excitedly moved his injured arm and thanked Rowan.

"No need to be polite, it's all my duty."

Rowan spoke gently, though his face was somewhat pale, he had a smile on his face.

"It's just a pity that it will take some time for my magic power to recover..."

Rowan looked at the wounded soldiers who were still groaning in pain on the ground, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

"Elder Luo Wen, you should also take care of your health."

"Everyone has already thanked you very much."

The wounded who had just been healed instead comforted Rowan.

"well........."

Upon hearing this, Luo Wen simply shook his head with a wry smile.

The current situation is not optimistic, and Rowan's mood remains very heavy.

.................

Ever since that day, after drinking heavily with the mysterious young man named Li Ang, Luo Wen made up his mind.

We must fight against the Noxian invaders!

We will not rest until we take back Philol!

Even dying on the road to the reconquest of Philolol would be far better than enduring this despair and torment every day in Presidium.

Young Li Ang's words undoubtedly woke Luo Wen up completely.

Instead of placing your hopes on others, you should do something yourself first.

Rowan also realized that Ionia desperately needed a change! The original "tradition" had become a shackle for the comfortable Ionians.

Rowan then set off for the front lines of Noxus, where he began to rally the civilians scattered by the Noxian invasion and select the able-bodied men to form a resistance force.

"The Legion of Ionia's Liberation"!

This is the name Rowan gave to the team, and the meaning behind it is crystal clear.

Soon, a team of over a thousand people was assembled under Rowan's command.

Most of them were Ionians whose homeland had been occupied by Noxus, while a small number were ambitious individuals who had heard of Rowan's resistance against the invasion and traveled from afar to join Rowan's ranks.

Even so, compared to the increasingly "growing" Noxian army, Rowan's strength was still insufficient.

And more often than not, Rowan's Restoration Legion was fighting against their "compatriots," namely the Ionians who had defected to Noxus.

Rowan's Restoration Army also achieved very little success as a result.

However, a single spark can start a prairie fire, and Rowan's actions undoubtedly ignited a wave of resistance among the people of Ionia!

Under Rowan's leadership, many Ionians whose homelands had been captured spontaneously formed a guerrilla force to resist the Noxians.

Even so, due to a lack of unified and effective command and military skills, these guerrillas were still unable to confront the Noxian Legion head-on.

Just then, a turning point appeared.

The renowned Elder Suma of Navoli had finally had enough of bickering with the other elders in Navoli.

Elder Suma's arrival undoubtedly brought a glimmer of hope to these guerrillas.

Soon, many guerrillas spontaneously gathered around Elder Suma.

Furthermore, Rowan's "Ionia Restoration Legion" has the largest number of members among these armed forces.

Therefore, based on Rowan's Ionian Restoration Legion, the "Restoration Alliance" was established under the coordination of Elder Souma!

In an instant, countless isolated resistance forces joined the Restoration Alliance and threw themselves into the war against Noxus.

In just over a month, the Restoration Alliance had gathered about 10,000 men, becoming the main force against the Noxian army.

Of course, even so.

At this moment, the fledgling Restoration Alliance was still no match for the army under Swain's command.

In a direct confrontation, the Restoration Alliance would likely be routed in a single round of attacks by the Noxian Legion's concentrated assault.

Therefore, all the Restoration Alliance can do now is to fight against Noxus step by step, village by village.

Slow down the Noxian invasion.

The awkward thing is that most of the time, the Restoration Alliance's opponents are not the Noxians.

Rather, it was their compatriots.

After more than a month of back-and-forth fighting, Noxus's originally fierce offensive finally slowed down.

However, half of the Navoli province has now become a battlefield.

The fighting even occasionally spread to other provinces near Navoli.
