"Do you have a question?" Swain glanced at Darius, who was sitting opposite him and was full of doubts, and continued to tease the crow on his shoulder.

The time at this moment was three hours after the end of the battle below Din Table Heights. The location was the former Snow Mountain Alliance military camp three thousand yards away from Din Table Heights.

The Noxians have filled the base area that originally belonged to the barbarians. The lights in the camp were all on, giving a little warmth in this deep cold snowy night.

"I don't understand." After a long silence, Darius finally said the first words of the night.

"What don't you understand?" Swain answered the question knowingly without turning his head.

"I don't understand why you gave up on the Snow Mountain Alliance. At that time, the entire Demacia army was completely paralyzed, and Tryndamere was holding back their biggest trump card. Even if Ezreal is as powerful as you said, we can do it.

Withstand the pressure and rescue those people." Darius paused, seeming to feel a little tight in his chest. He pulled away his scarlet armor and took a deep breath, "Even if you were originally

We plan to wipe out the Snow Mountain Alliance in one fell swoop, but you don’t have to do it all at this time. Now that we are alone and helpless, how can we explain to the general when we go back?"

"What else?" Swain was not in a hurry to answer Darius' question. He combed the crow's messy feathers slowly, as if he was sure that Darius must have other questions.

Sure enough, Darius was stunned for a while after hearing these words, but he probably had experienced such a scene, so he spoke again immediately.

"Also, why did you stop me from killing that hateful little thing called Ezreal?" Darius was really a little annoyed when he asked this question. There were very few people he wanted to kill who were not dead.

Unfortunately, Ezreal is listed as his must-kill target like Xin Zhao.

"First of all." Swain finally smoothed out the crow's feathers. He rubbed his fingers, stretched out one and said, "Tryndamere has completely betrayed us."

"Why are you so sure?" Darius frowned and tried to retort, "Didn't you say that there is at most a 60% chance that your plan will be seen through?"

"Because Karsus didn't come, the opponent's planner must not have seen Karsus' true strength." Swain's pupils shrank slightly, as if he thought of something that even a monster like him would be afraid of. "

With Tryndamere's strength, even if he adds 500 people, he will definitely not be able to last ten minutes. Ten minutes is enough for that old monster to arrive."

"Then..." Darius couldn't refute at the moment. He knew that Swain and Karthus had fought many times. It was said that once, he almost died, and when he came back, he didn't even know where to throw his crutches.

Somewhere along the way, he fell seriously ill, and it took him half a year to recover. That was also the only time Swain was forced to suffer so miserably.

"What's the second point?" He could only ask the next question.

"Second point." Swain held out two fingers. The nails that had not been trimmed all year round were long and sharp. There was an indescribable mystery under the dim yellow oil lamp. "Article 3 of the Noxian War Code, do not

Make any unnecessary sacrifices. Any blood that is not shed for profit and glory is the blood of shame."

This sentence was one of the most important war concepts of the first founding king of Noxus, and it is usually the basis for historians to praise this emperor for loving his soldiers.

"What do you mean?" But Darius couldn't understand Swain's extremely thought-provoking answer at all.

Swain seemed to not want to answer any of Darius's questions at all. He turned his head again, took out a worm from his pocket, and fed it to the crow's mouth.

But probably out of pity for Darius’s brain cells, Swain finally gave a hint, saying:

"What do you think our ultimate goal is?"

The ultimate goal? Darius seems to have finally caught a glimmer of firefly in the dark night.

——————————————

"What is Swain's ultimate goal?"

Two hours later, the location was changed to the Avarosa camp.

The night is deep and the snow is falling again.

Snow fell on the top of the tent, and a slight rustling sound echoed in the air.

The battle during the day had exhausted everyone's energy, and the overall situation had been decided. Even Galen did not hold any late-night military meetings, but let the tired people go back to rest and prepare for the follow-up offensive the next morning.

Chen Senran did have a good rest... Well, in fact, he was tortured by the angry little loli for more than three hours. He left small white teeth marks on his arm and made a commitment to take her to the front line.

Otherwise, after biting the unequal treaty on Chen Senran's arms, he was able to watch her sleep peacefully with relief.

Chen Senran had finished making trouble for little Annie, who finally fell asleep. He tucked in the quilt and blew out the two bright magic lamps in the tent, leaving only a dim oil lamp illuminating a military map with clear lines.

, he clicked on the military map and said the above sentence to himself.

He still couldn't grasp Swain's overall thinking. He speculated from various aspects, but he still couldn't get it right. He always felt that the current situation was still under Swain's control.

Is it an illusion? Chen Senran kept asking himself this, trying to calm himself down. But the feeling of uneasiness always existed, and he knew that his intuition was very good.

This intuition allowed him to avoid danger countless times. The most serious time of this intuition was the time before his death in the last world, but that time, he didn't care at all.

"Why don't you think about Noxus' ultimate goal?"

At the moment when Chen Senran fell into self-debate again, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears. He was startled, and then he remembered that Lao Du had been sitting in the corner of this tent, and he had subconsciously ignored it just now.

Got him.

While lamenting that his sense of vigilance was getting worse and worse, Chen Senran keenly sensed the meaning of Lao Du's words just now.

What is Noxus' ultimate goal?

At first glance, it seems to be the same concept as what Swain's ultimate goal is, but from an overall perspective, they are two completely different concepts.

Swain's purpose, which Chen Senran had been struggling with before, was actually a small-scale strategy, thus neglecting the most important point, which was the real purpose, in other words, the benefits.

What ultimate benefit does he do this for?

This was really a sentence that woke up the dreamer. Chen Senran glanced at Lao Du in the corner with some surprise. However, the light was dim at this time, and the old guy lowered his head again. He seemed to be in a false sleep and could not see clearly at all.

His expression.

But Chen Senran still said: "Thank you."

Then when he saw the military map again, he immediately stood up and walked out of the tent. He wanted to see Galen because he thought of some possibilities.
