Speaking of which, Swain is also an old unlucky man.

So far, overtly and covertly, he has fought against Yasuo four times - but except for the first offensive and defensive battle in Navoli, which was a draw, he has lost completely in the other three times.

Whether it was the all-or-nothing Battle of Presidence, the secret negotiations and armistice treaty after the war, or this renewed cooperation, Swain suffered considerable losses each time.

Is it really because Yasuo is superior?

Not entirely - in fact, the main reason for Swain's losses was due to internal problems within his own family.

During the Battle of Presidenium, as long as Noxus fought steadily after the failure of the blitz and used the strength of the whole country to expand its territory little by little, the result was really very likely to engulf Ionia - even if it was not willing to use the strength of the whole country to expand its territory.

According to Swain's strategy, as long as one attack after another, it can at least create a situation similar to Noxus cannibalizing Shurima.

But... under the control of the Black Rose, the attack of the Balance Sect directly caused Ionia to quickly unite, and the Transcendents personally ended the battle. Not only was the Presiden's attack plan rushed, but the logistics could not keep up.

In this desperate situation, Swain was stunned to get a chance to fight to the death by using himself as a bet after understanding the Black Rose's goal.

It was obviously a disadvantageous game with 91 openings, but he managed to achieve a 73.00 opening position through a wave of group starts. Although Swain lost in the end, he really tried his best.

The same goes for subsequent negotiations and this cooperation.

It's not that Swain doesn't want to strive for more benefits for his own side, but the situation is stronger than the people, and Swain can only do nothing.

In Praxidian, Swain's broken arm was not broken in vain. This arm not only made Yasuo bear a considerable part of the pressure, but also invisibly improved Swain's reputation. If it weren't for this

Without the support of his arms and veterans, Swain would not be able to stay at the Third National Farm unharmed at this time!

This guy is a ruthless person, ruthless to both himself and his enemies!

And the more Swain behaves like this, the more Yasuo feels like he's trying to gain skin from a tiger.

Although under the current circumstances, Swain coming to power is extremely beneficial to Ionia - his focus must be to sort out the interior of Noxus and target Shurima - but from a long-term perspective,

The national strength of Noxus led by Swain and Noxus led by LeBlanc will not be in the same dimension.

But... Yasuo had no choice.

Even if Swain will still plot the land of Ionia in the future, that is still the future.

Now, LeBlanc has completed part of her plan. The Shadow Isles and Noxus are entangled together, stretching out their dark hands against Ionia, and the balance within Ionia has not yet been restored.

, when the wild magic is already out of balance, even if the east wall is demolished to repair the west wall, Yasuo must first handle this joint attack!

what a shame.

After reaching an agreement with Swain, Yasuo finally couldn't help but sigh.

If you have the ability to go straight to Huanglong and simply go to Shadow Island to get everything done, why do you need to get all this?

Shaking his head, Yasuo took Riven and Taliyah to temporarily stay in the guest house at the National Farm.

……………………

Seeing Yasuo leaving, Swain quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation was dire for Yasuo, but how could it be for Swain?

If Yasuo hadn't appeared this time, Swain might have really revealed his trump card and had a fight to the death with that mysterious pale lady!

Assassinations occurred one after another. Knowing that he would never die here, Swain had no chance to continue to develop and survive!

fine.

A large number of prisoners of war have been returned to Noxus. On the one hand, these veterans have greatly expanded Swain's influence in the military. On the other hand, they also ensure that once Swain comes to power, there will be no big problems in the military.

question.

Now that General Du Croquet is missing, there are only a handful of people in Noxus who can succeed as Grand Marshal!

Urgot, that Darkwill sycophant, has died in Ionia, and the Admiral of the Navy has also shattered his dreams of Tall Bay. Now he is qualified to compete for the Grand Admiral of Noxus. The only person who can be the Hand of Noxus is

One in the south and one in the north.

To the north is Darius, who has fought against the Freljord barbarians for a long time. He has great achievements in battle and never forms a clique.

To the south is Fen, the former deputy commander of Shurima and currently the orderly officer of Uzeris. This unsmiling Noxian is Du Kecao's deputy. In terms of seniority, he also succeeds Du...

A strong contender for Kecao.

The above is all superficial information.

In reality, the core of this problem is that Fen is a black rose person.

If nothing else, because of the failure of the Pale Lady's operation in Ionia, she had to slow down all her plans a little, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Swain hoped to make Darius the new leader.

Commander of the Empire.

Although there is no personal relationship between the two parties, Swain believes that the harsh guy likes himself and loves Noxus, and they are natural allies.

So, after discussing with Yasuo, Swain came up with an amazing plan.

This plan involving four countries is grand, and the details are even more dazzling for Yasuo, but the core content is not very complicated - take advantage of the current opportunity to cause enough trouble for Fen, and let Delai

Erth takes over.

Although Brown Darkwill is the general commander and has the support of the Black Rose, the current Noxus is not ready to let a trash who has lost cities and territory and suffered repeated defeats become the generalissimo.

And as long as Darius becomes the Grand Marshal of the Empire, Swain can use this power to rise again!

He doesn't even need much help from Darius. As long as he has a little support from the military, he has the confidence to replace Darkwill and kick the pale lady's yes-man off the throne!

Of course, Yasuo's efforts to cause trouble for Finn are not in vain - Swain needs to provide real money and silver support, and hand over everything known about the connection between the Shadow Island and Noxus.

, and left a piece of evidence as requested by Yasuo.

Gritting his teeth, Swain took the Noxus map and military information he had, including Longmen, Besilico, Fahlgren and Findor, the port cities across the sea from Ionia.

Part of the relevant information was handed over to Yasuo - the remaining part will be delivered a second time after Fen is finished.

In addition, as long as Fen is miserable in Uzeris, the empire will have to focus on the south when Swain comes to power. This also fundamentally guarantees that Ionia will usher in a period of stable development in the future.
