In the next few days, Kayn followed General Lester silently.

The bad news is that Lester has been staying in the heavily guarded military camp, so Kayn never found the opportunity to notify the Shadow Stream Sect and launch the assassination plan.

The good news is that Lester didn't discover Kayn's secret either.

Not only did he not have any doubts about Kayn, but he also valued and trusted Kayn more and more.

Because after just a few days of getting along with each other, Lester gave Kayn some pointers on martial arts, and he was shocked to discover:

Kayn was more than a genius.

He is simply a genius among geniuses.

No matter what martial arts or weapons are taught to him, he can master them completely after seeing them twice and quickly master them during training.

Such a genius was actually wasted as cannon fodder in a scout camp that was not even issued weapons and equipment.

In Lester's words: "Kayn, with your talents and abilities, you can at least become a general at the leader level of the war group in the future."

Kayn has such talent and great future, so of course Lester must vigorously cultivate him.

Not only to be trained as a trusted retainer, but also to be a successor of the mantle and educate as a personal disciple.

then...

Lester now takes Kayn with him wherever he goes.

Kayn followed General Lester and collected a lot of important information about the Noxian army.

For example, just today:

"General Leicester, General Urgot is here. He said he has something important to discuss with you."

Kayn is serving as a personal guard, accompanying Lester to handle military affairs in the command post office.

The soldier standing guard outside the door came in to report that the troublesome guy named Urgot had come to the door again.

"Okay, invite him in." Lester concealed his disgust quietly and asked the guard to let Urgot in.

Kayn stood by silently, thinking about Urgot's purpose in his heart.

Even now, although Lester still has reservations about him and hasn't told him all the reasons...

But Kayn could still vaguely see that there was a deep conflict between Lester and Urgot:

Urgot is desperate to find the Windleader.

Laster doesn't know why, but wants everyone to believe that the leader is operating in the Yipu River Basin.

Not only did he create evidence out of thin air for this purpose, but he also had no interest in finding the real leader.

It feels like...

It seems that Lester is also an undercover agent of the leader.

"Well..." Kaiyin cursed in his heart and tried hard to get rid of this ridiculous idea.

And while he was thinking secretly, General Urgot was already taking his heavy and slow steps, standing in front of him like an iron tower.

"Is this the kid from a few days ago?" Urgot looked at him suspiciously and asked Lester: "Isn't he a young soldier? Why is he here with you now?"

"Strength is paramount in Noxus, regardless of origin." Lester replied unhurriedly: "Kayn has the talent and ability to withstand the murderous intention of the imperial general. Is there a problem if I promote him to be a personal guard?"

"You..." Lester didn't pick up the pot, which made Urgot's face look much uglier.

However, Urgot couldn't bear to waste time on a child.

He finally suppressed his temper and went straight to the point: "Lester, I think we need to make some changes to the strategic approach to searching for the leader."

"This..." Lester frowned: "Is there something wrong with the current strategy?"

"Of course!" Urgot said angrily: "After the previous attack by the Wind Leader, we dispersed thousands of people and searched for several days in the mountains in the upper and middle reaches of the Yipu River!"

"Look, what have we found in the past few days? Except for a group of mountain monkeys and a few tribes of Vastaya mountain people, we found nothing!"

"Where are the leaders? Where are they?"

Urgot asked repeatedly.

"Be patient!" Lester showed no sign of weakness: "There are so many mountains in the upper reaches of the Yipu River, can we search them all in just a few days?"

"Take your time. Tens of thousands of people are hiding inside. We will find them sooner or later."

Well, sooner or later...it will probably take less than a month.

By then, Teacher Swain should have met with President Levi of the Wind Leader many times in Zaun and negotiated a secret agreement.

Lester secretly calculated in his mind how long he could help the Wind Leader delay.

Urgot had also led troops and could read maps. He knew how much precious time this plan to search the mountains would take.

"No, I can't wait that long!"

"Then what do you want to do?" Lester asked dissatisfiedly: "Now intelligence from all parties shows that the leader is operating in the Yipu River Basin."

"Following the intelligence and searching the entire Yipu River Basin, it will only take a month at most."

"And if we disperse our troops to search elsewhere, and the leader is not there, we will only waste more time!"

What Lester said was reasonable. He was confident that Urgot could not refute it.

And Urgot did not refute. His opinion was: "You are right, Lester."

"Searching the Yipu River Basin is the most appropriate option, but even so, we may spend nearly a month doing this."

"If that's the case, then we might as well not look for a leader."

"You're not looking for it anymore?" Lester and Kayn were both surprised.

Is the leader safe now?

No, it's definitely not that simple.

Sure enough, Urgot said coldly: "The leader is like a mouse hiding in a house."

"Instead of wasting time and effort to find rat nests, why not sprinkle alchemical potion in the house and force these rats to appear on their own."

"You..." Lester suddenly had a very bad premonition: "What do you want to do?"

"Haha." Urgot sneered: "Have you forgotten, Lester?"

"The Windleaders have never appeared in Ionia before. When did they last appear?"

"Yes..." Kaiyin's heart sank.

Lester also turned pale: "It's time for us to massacre the city."

"Yes!" Urgot's ferocious face even revealed a bit of a wise man: "The Wind Leaders are a bunch of guys who like to meddle in other people's business. They don't want us to kill people."

"Even Ionians who have nothing to do with them."

"So, the bait that can lure the leader to show up is..."

It's human life, the lives of thousands of innocent civilians.

"Aren't there still so many villages in the countryside of Yipu River Port? Aren't there so many towns in Balu'e Province? There are nearly a million people living on this island, which is enough for us."

Urgot spoke calmly, as if he was discussing what to eat for lunch today.

"You? Bastard!" Lester slammed the table angrily.

It's not that he is against massacres of villages. After all, he was the one responsible for the massacre of cities before, and he doesn't care about the lives of Ionians.

He just knew that Urgot's move might really work.

No, we must not let the main force of the leader be lured out...

So Lester objected fiercely: "That's enough, Urgot! We've killed enough people in Balua."

"Don't you know that the Wind Leader has the ability to infect mortals into extraordinary beings? Last time we massacred the city at Yipu River Port, we helped the Wind Leader create tens of thousands of followers out of thin air."

"Now you want to continue killing people, then..."

"That's just right!" Urgot said with a plan: "It's because the Wind Leader can give believers extraordinary power, so we need to continue killing people -"

"As long as all the Ionians who may be converted into followers of Janna are killed in advance, won't the Wind Leader be able to recruit more followers and create more extraordinary beings?"

Lester: "..."

Kayn: "..."

They were all shocked by Urgot's amazing trick of using dissection to treat colds.

"Damn it, are you crazy?!" Lester was so angry that he slapped the table and stood up.

"Leister!" Urgot glared back with murderous eyes: "I have already submitted this plan to the headquarters for discussion and approval through a magic summons."

"You must cooperate fully, otherwise..."

He paused slightly and said meaningfully:

"Let me tell you, Lester, I have already sent someone to get your group's recent purchase list and death list."
