lol: Bind Syndra at the start

Ms. Red Rose frowned. She didn't like such open places very much.

The nature of black roses makes them more inclined to wander among the thorns in the dark.

Therefore, she looked at the Noxian officer with a fierce look in her eyes, "Is this the burial place you chose for yourself?"

"..."

The Noxian officer was suddenly speechless.

He knew why the other party always made such suffocating remarks.

Because he had been like this before... when facing a group of boxers who were worse than dogs.

When you don't treat the other person as an equal, all those bad habits that you don't notice in your daily life will be exposed.

The Noxian officer kept his thoughts in the shadows and spoke his words instead, carefully considered.

"He believed my identity and what we told him in the letters, but he knew more than we thought..."

"What do you mean? He knew about that before?"

"Yes, he knew that Noxus was going to attack. You may not understand war, but every battle has its precursors. Before the warriors appear on the battlefield, the preparations that need to be made in advance will always allow the enemy to detect the clues..."

The Noxian officer was a clever man.

From the way Lady Red Rose treated him, he realized that there might be something wrong with his previous actions.

After combining the information revealed by Ryan, he realized that he might have made a mistake before.

Since that powerful being knows Seti.

Then it is possible that he knew about that matter in advance through Sett.

The speaker may not mean anything, but the listener may take it seriously...

Although the possibility is extremely low, as long as it is not zero, it is possible.

And as long as it is possible to happen, it can be used.

The Noxian officer took a look at Lady Red Rose's expression beforehand. Before she could summon those bloodthirsty thorns, he spoke again:

"But after carefully recalling the scene where the order was issued several times, I found a problem..."

There was a warning in Lady Red Rose's eyes, "If you say half a sentence again, I'll make your arm into fish feed."

This time, no thorns were summoned directly!

A hint of joy flashed in the Noxian officer's panicked eyes.

Unlike the conversation during the day, tonight's conversation has completely entered its own rhythm.

"In the past, when similar critical combat missions were issued, there was always a chilling aura lingering nearby, but this time, I didn't sense that aura..."

No matter how strict the discipline is, it still needs to be accompanied by corresponding supervision to ensure confidentiality.

No one from the Noxian official has ever explained what that aura is.

But he had heard that this was the power of the Lord Commander...

After the emperor's fall, almost no one dared to question the commander's public decisions.

Therefore, even though every Noxian officer could sense that aura, no one dared to raise any objections.

Over time, they even got used to the presence of this aura.

But his habitual cautiousness made him sense something different when this mission was issued.

That breath disappeared.

This definitely doesn't mean that there is something wrong with the commander.

Then it can only be intentional!

Why do it on purpose?

Why give up supervision of military officers?

He didn't think that the commander trusted his people too much and omitted this step.

So he was specifically observing other different places.

And at a certain moment, he suddenly understood the logic behind this unusual behavior.

The commander did it on purpose. He didn't care whether he and others would leak the news.

Because once this news is spread out, it will not affect the progress of other things.

Even...he might just want other people to know this news.

The Noxian officer felt an inexplicable chill down his spine, even though his actions had already betrayed Noxus.

But deep down he still had an inexplicable awe for the commander.

Fortunately...the waves can cover up my voice.

He glanced at the sea surface like a thief, then lowered his head and continued, "I'm sure it was a feint. This attack must have been intended to cover up other actions."

"What action?"

"I don't know either." He looked back at Lady Red Rose. "Although the Commander is away, this war is controlled by him. Do you think I can know what he is thinking? Or rather... do you know?"

In the face of the Noxian officer's questioning, Lady Red Rose rarely responded.

She had seen the commander from afar, so she knew how terrifying he was.

"So you've said all this just to tell me an answer that can't be verified?"

"I can't verify it now, but any action will have preliminary preparations. As long as you let me return to the Noxian military fortress, I will have the opportunity to find the real answer."

"Are you trying to escape from the control of Black Rose in this way?" The woman noticed Huadian.

"I'm doing this to help you win over that person!"

"I hope so..." Lady Red Rose looked at the Noxian officer, a smile in her eyes that the latter could not understand. "You can go back, but I remind you one thing, we also have people in that fortress...

"And she's far scarier than I am."

Chapter 210: Noxus's Goal

If you walk westward to the end of the land, you will see a not-so-wide strait.

Sculpted by ocean currents and tides, there is no spreading fine sand or flat ground here.

The sharp reefs are the protagonists here. They occupy the absolute C position, looking at the "island" not far away across the sea.

It took Ryan about two days to get here, and the rugged road made the journey a bit more tiring.

But when he looked at the pirates not far away from him, that trace of tiredness was replaced by another emotion.

From the moment he arrived in this world, he often imagined the specific conditions of this island.

But fantasy is ultimately no match for seeing it with your own eyes.

The island was surrounded by thick sea fog, with only the vague outlines showing through the 'curtain', revealing its body to the other side.

It was a square building. Although it was not very clear, one could still glimpse a sense of solemnity from the distinct edges and corners.

The sea breeze blowing towards me seemed to be mixed with some fanatical will.

"Haven't you been here before?"

A clear voice sounded behind Ryan.

He turned around and saw Irelia, who also looked exhausted.

She was still dressed in her original skin, and after regaining control of the Brotherhood, she seemed to be drawn into a deeper vortex.

The amount of things to manage, worry about, and plan for has increased exponentially.

Fortunately, she was blessed by some ancient power, otherwise she would have developed some chronic disease sooner or later.

"Why have I been here?" Ryan felt strange.

"Because..." Irelia's tone was a little strange. She looked towards the island in the distance, "Isn't there someone you know on this island?"

Ryan once described to her how he and Sindra got along.

Therefore, she knew that there was a close relationship between the two masters of darkness.

"We were all spiritual friends."

Ryan calmly changed the subject, "You're actually willing to come here in person. I thought you would ask me to go to Presidio to find you."

"Grandma said that just working hard all the time won't work. I need to go out for a walk every now and then."

"Grandma is right!"

"You're trying to change the subject..." Irelia didn't dwell on this for too long. She finally managed to get away because of the important news in Ryan's letter, so she asked directly, "What important news do you have?"

"I found a Noxian officer as an insider... and I'm also on the Black Rose's wanted list."

Ryan said and looked at Irelia.

The latter was surprised by the first sentence and then confused by the second sentence.

In desperation, Ryan had to explain to her the properties of the black rose.

"...So you want to start a war between them?" Irelia roughly understood what Ryan meant. "But are the people of the Black Rose really as kind as you say?"

Ryan mentioned several good deeds done by Black Rose.

But she simply couldn't understand why a witch who had lived for hundreds of years would do so many brainless things driven by fear.

"I said it's because she's kind." Ryan couldn't understand why characters like the Dumb Beauty existed in the real world.

But if the designer says yes, then yes.

In addition to being more skeletal than fantasy, reality is also more magical than fantasy.

Irelia pondered for a moment. She didn't think Ryan was fooling her.

Therefore, she simply regarded this inexplicable "kindness" as something Ryan was not convenient to tell her.

But between people...at least there is trust between her and Ryan.

"Tell me what you think." Irelia looked at Ryan, "How should we take advantage of the goodwill of the Black Rose and the treacherous officer?"

"My idea is to wait and see."

After Ryan finished speaking, he saw Irelia's expression change slightly.

The other person might think you're joking.

But this is indeed my true thought.

It seems that I know a lot, but this little information is not enough to illuminate even one-third of the area in the vast Ionia.

If you act rashly in this situation, problems may easily arise.

And...the most important thing is that Ryan has confidence in the Black Rose!

You can't expect a traitor to suddenly become loyal;

One can't even expect the Black Rose, who has been doing 'good things' for hundreds of years, to suddenly let her intelligence take over when facing him.

Ryan himself didn't dare to imagine how big a hole these two combined could dig for Noxus.

He looked at Irelia, "Many times, war isn't just about fighting on the battlefield. Our current wait-and-see attitude doesn't mean we're doing nothing, but rather waiting for the enemy to reveal a flaw.

"Especially now, they might have started to undermine their own customers. If we do too much, it might backfire."

"So you asked me to come over here, is there anything else you want to talk about?"

Irelia could understand Ryan's thoughts, but she thought Ryan could say these things in the letter.

"I don't trust the messengers."

Ryan said bluntly, "Some news may not matter, but if this gets leaked it could easily cause a lot of trouble."

Irelia didn't understand the Black Roses, but he understood them.

Maybe they are not very smart, but those witches all have a kind of paranoia.

If information leaks expose them, they may abandon their plans to win over others and instead retaliate.

After hearing this, Irelia was silent for a while. She also knew that this hidden danger existed.

But there are so many ordinary members in the fraternity that it is impossible for her to screen them one by one.
