Chapter 345: Demacia Storm
In the 21st year, Noxus led his soldiers to attack the outskirts of Demacia's capital. Although Garen woke up, he was powerless to save the situation.
You led the pregnant Lux and 10,000 soldiers to launch a surprise attack on the rear. With a hundred cavalrymen, you crushed the Noxian logistics and broke through their army formation, successfully breaking their morale.
In the same month, you and Garen worked together to drive the Noxians out of the capital.
Although most of Demacia's territory was still under Noxian control, victory had already come.
However, at this moment, you helplessly discovered that you did not have enough soldiers to pursue. If you wanted to expand the results of the victory and pull out all the combat power of Noxus for the next ten years in one go, you would need another 20,000 troops to succeed.
At this moment, a woman in a blue cloak comes to you, holding a True Ice Longbow in her hand.
But the conditions for the alliance were food and the possibility of trading with them.
You looked at her and were about to agree. But at this moment, Lux suddenly spoke.
"I heard that there is a kind of covenant in Freljord called the Blood Covenant. If you and my husband sign the only Blood Covenant, then your people will be the people of Demacia. We will no longer be troubled by the invasion of the Freljord people, and you will no longer have food problems, right? I know your traditions, so please rest assured that your status and mine will be equal."
You were shocked and didn't understand why Lux said that, because the blood alliance represents the identity of husband and wife. But the woman opposite was obviously moved. She didn't want to start a war, but wanted to build an empire that belonged to the Freljord people.
And if we can get a stable food base and support...
The woman named Ashe thought for a while and nodded.
The two women turned their gaze towards you.
You don't know how to talk about this matter and choose to postpone it.
In the same year, after obtaining sophisticated equipment from Demacia, the fighting power of the Freljord people led by Ashe increased dramatically. Although they had no formation, after your cavalry gained the upper hand, they became the most powerful wolf pack.
The defeat of the Noxians was inevitable.
And you also talked to Lux during this time.
"We don't have time to pacify the North. We now have mages in our country and Noxus outside. Your throne is not very stable. Many people in the family want to support my brother to become king, although he doesn't want to... So you must become a king with absolute strength... No, an emperor."
You pondered for a long time, and finally, you summoned your own craftsmen recruited from Piltover, and invited a girl named Ashe on the same day.
In front of her, you showed her a weapon called a heavy machine gun and a steel behemoth called a tank that you designed based on your description, and told her that these weapons were much cheaper than training a knight.
Ashe was silent.
Although she knew that these weapons were nothing compared to her, she knew clearly that the Freljord would no longer be a threat to Demacia from now on.
Instead, they have to worry about the Demacians.
"I will be the queen of your warmbloods, but the name of the Freljord must not die."
"It's simple. Our future kingdom will not be called Demacia."
"What is that called?"
"The Holy Roman Republic."
You mentioned the name of the empire you mentioned casually, because in your opinion, this empire did not even have a shadow and it was impossible to establish it.
It would take at least three generations of effort, and then the emperor at that time would consider the name.
After all, the name of a country is important, but it is not actually very important.
What really determines whether he is noble is the will and strength of the people.
"Rome?"
"Yes, Rome, Demacia and Freljord will not disappear, but they will also have another identity, the identity of the Romans. Although we may not have the same ancestors, we are definitely all people who want to live a happy life."
"I see."
That night, you experienced the passion of the Freljord Iceborn. Unlike their power, everything about them was so fiery.
The Freljordians begin calling you Emperor, and begin to spread the word that they will only abide by the peace treaty if you become Emperor of Demacia.
For this, you paid a whole year's income from your territory.
Garen came to you a month later, he looked quite haggard, you looked at your friend, you knew he had no intention of competing with you for the throne. He didn't see you for so long because he was embarrassed to see you, because when you left, he didn't protect Jarvan, nor Demacia.
"You are the most suitable person to be the king. My sister's choice is not wrong... but unfortunately, I am not a good brother."
Looking at Lux, who had become more mature due to the repeated attacks, the bearded Garen sighed.
"I'm leaving, Li Ke. Demacia is now in your hands."
"...You know, you don't have to do this. I know what kind of person you are, and you know what kind of person I am. There's no need for us to do this."
You sincerely tried to keep him because there was really no need.
"No, if I don't leave, those people will not give up. Besides, I also want to investigate the death of Jarvan and his father... Li Ke, be careful of my uncle... No, be careful of all the demon hunters."
Galen left quietly that night.
The Mianwei family had no choice but to start supporting you with all their strength, and your achievements also convinced the other two Elector families that did not have a suitable king, forcing the last one who was still holding out to give up his throne silently.
You became the king of Demacia, but at the coronation ceremony, you walked up .
There was an uproar in Demacia.
In the 22nd year, your policies and the new agricultural tools you brought quickly brought Demacia back to life. You continued to gather refugees from other countries and let them live on the land of Demacia.
And continuously provide Ashe with supplies, so that her tribe does not have to worry about the consumption of food and warmth supplies.
The most important thing is.
You gave them a whole new weapon.
Molotov cocktails and a machine gun called the PPSh.
The Freljord's form was opened.
You begin to focus on farming and continue to eliminate the hatred between the two races of Demacia and Freljord. Thanks to your and Ashe's efforts, the feud between Demacians and Freljordians begins to disappear - in fact, it is mainly the effect of trade.
But at the same time, things were changing in Noxus.
A man named Swain came to power.
