Riven looked at the whirlwind surrounding her, her eyes a little confused.
Why did you get such power?
Did the goddess listen to her prayers and temporarily lend her, a sinner, to help save Feiya and the others?
As Riven thought this, her thoughts became more and more complicated.
Feiya and others were not as much concerned as she thought.
They all looked excitedly at the thread of faith pulled out of themselves, and were so excited that they couldn't help but say to themselves: "It turns out that we already have faith, and we are all official leaders!"
With that said, Feiya and others imitated Riven's example and closed their eyes to pray.
Then, Feiya, who had not understood the magic of wind before, and even those mortal sailors who were completely ignorant of magic, suddenly "understood" the power of wind just like Riven just now.
Although their winds are very weak, they are obviously of extraordinary power. They can let mortals master magic without any warning, which only gods can do.
The attitude of "this" Noxian suddenly changed.
"Miss Orianna." General Lester looked over with solemn eyes: "My subordinates don't know the rules. If they offend you, please don't take it to heart."
The words sounded soft, but the tone was still strong.
Without waiting for Riven to answer, he immediately asked: "But this is Ionia, an overseas territory of the Noxus Empire."
"Wind Leader is not staying in Zaun, so what are you doing here?"
Riven quickly hid the excitement and confusion in her eyes and answered seriously: "I am here to contact Ionian merchants on behalf of the Wind Leader Association to discuss the food export business."
After all, she is a fake leader. She can pretend to be a leader and save people, but she doesn't dare to "help" the leader to speak randomly outside.
If there might be some diplomatic incident and cause trouble for the leader, then her crime would be even more serious.
Therefore, Riven only gave herself the title of special envoy for food procurement and did not make up any other diplomatic mission for herself.
It just so happens that Feiya's family is engaged in the export business of grain and agricultural products, so it is reasonable for her and Feiya to appear here together.
"That's it." General Lester reluctantly believed it.
Zaun wants to ensure the security of food supply and promote diversification of import channels. It makes sense strategically to bypass the empire privately and come to Ionia to buy food.
"But it's a pity." The Noxian smiled proudly, tapped the ground and said, "This land belongs to the empire from now on."
"If you leaders want to talk about the grain business, you can wait until this war is over. No, you don't have to wait until the war is over. You can just come to me and talk to me now."
"I can guarantee that the food exports of Balua Province will not be affected by the war. Once we deal with those hamster-like Ionians, the food exported here will only be more, not less."
"." Riwen remained silent without comment.
Lester didn't find it strange either.
After all, Zaun is not short of food now, it is just that its imports are completely dependent on Noxus and it lacks food supplied by non-empires.
It is understandable that Riwen, the "grain purchasing ambassador", does not want to discuss the grain business with him.
And whether she came here to buy food or for some other ulterior purpose, Lester had no intention of letting these leaders run around on the frontline battlefields of the empire.
"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, we won't bother you."
"The empire will launch a full-scale offensive in the Balu'e Province recently. The battlefield is full of dangers and the sword has no eyes. Please have a good rest in the mansion and don't go out and wander around in the past few days."
With that said, Lester turned to his subordinates in front of Riven: "Send a team of rune swordsmen over to 'protect' this house - don't let anyone come in and out at will, do you understand?"
"Wait." Riven interrupted him.
"What?" General Lester's eyes became dangerous: "Miss Orianna, do you have any questions?"
"I have something to discuss with you, General." Riven said seriously.
"Say." Lester listened attentively.
"I want to save people."
"Rescue people?" Lester smiled: "Didn't I promise to protect this mansion and protect everyone's safety?"
"As long as you stay here well these days, don't go out, don't ask about things you shouldn't know, and you'll be fine."
At this time, he looked harmless to humans and animals, and even had some courtesy that was rare among Noxians.
But Riven said sharply: "General Lester, it's not just the people in this mansion that I want to save."
"I also want to save this entire city and the hundreds of thousands of people in Yipuhe Port."
Lester was silent for a while.
He narrowed his eyes and pretended not to know: "Miss Orianna, what do you mean?"
"Stop covering it up." Riven looked over with stern eyes: "I know what you are going to do to this city."
As she said this, perhaps because practice makes perfect, she lied almost without changing her face: "I am Director Mel's direct subordinate. I heard her talk about many of the Myrdalda family's battlefield 'experiences' before setting off."
"I am too familiar with the way the Noxus Empire operates."
"Seal the whole city and launch troops to loot - you are preparing for a massacre, aren't you?"
Riven brought out the Myrdaldas, who were also warlord leaders, to explain her knowledge of Noxus.
Lester stopped laughing now.
He simply tore off his mask and shouted coldly: "This is our Noxus and Ionia's problem, it has nothing to do with you, the leader!"
"If Goddess Janna says it's relevant, then it's relevant!" Riven said tit for tat: "This is hundreds of thousands of lives! We, the leaders, will never stand idly by!"
"You?!" Lester was annoyed, but he still held back.
Due to the reputation of the goddess Janna, he did not dare to say anything harsh to Riven.
But that doesn't mean his attitude will soften.
"I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request." General Lester said in an extremely firm tone: "This massacre did not come from my will, but from the Imperial President's Headquarters and a direct order from His Majesty the Emperor."
"Miss Orianna, if you really know something about the situation in the empire, then you should know that your conversation with me now is a waste of time."
"This" Riwen's face changed slightly.
She finally understood why Noxus suddenly launched a full-scale attack on the Balua Province, which was sparsely populated, lacking in resources, and had almost no geostrategic significance.
It turned out that this was the order of the mad emperor Darkwill.
He sent a large army here either to plunder some food, property, or population, or simply to kill people.
Because the Ionian War was entangled and dragged on for a long time, the Noxian soldiers became more and more tired physically and mentally as they fought, but the enemy's resistance army became more and more powerful as they fought.
Therefore, Noxus urgently needs a hearty massacre, firstly to revive morale, and secondly to frighten the enemies.
And if this kind of performance-style massacre is to be carried out, the Balu'e Province, which has the weakest combat power, is obviously the best target.
"This battle came from the overall strategic goals of the Ionian Front and came from the direct order of His Majesty the Emperor."
This means that this combat plan must be resolutely implemented and must not be given up.
At least, Lester, a "little" war group leader, was not qualified to decide to give up massacre.
If he doesn't massacre the city, then the emperor will have to massacre him.
"It seems you understand." Lester noticed Riven's complicated gaze: "Since you also know my difficulties, then don't waste your time with me saying these words."
"If you really want to stop this massacre, you might as well go directly to His Majesty the Emperor!"
"." Ruiwen was speechless.
Just kidding, where did she get the ability to communicate with the emperor?
The last time she saw this lunatic, she knelt at his feet the whole time and didn't even have the right to raise her head.
But, is she going to give up just like that?
Are we going to watch these hundreds of thousands of people die?!
"No!" Riven had no other choice but to shout with all her strength: "Goddess Janna will not tolerate this happening in front of her! You must find a way to stop-"
"Otherwise, if you offend the gods, no one knows what will happen!"
"You threaten me?!" Lester was very angry.
But when he looked at Riven's crazy and careless expression, he felt a little guilty in his heart.
The goddess is not really here to watch, is she? This question will always trouble those who stand on the opposite side of the leader.
Finally, he considered and made the biggest concession he could:
"Okay, Miss Orianna"
