The Royal Palace of Demacia.
In the garden behind the palace of the emperor.
A few cups of fine royal tea are placed on a table made of smooth marble. On the side are a well-dressed maid carrying a teapot, and two guards with silver swords guarding them.
"I don't know how Mr. Lu Chuan has been in the past few months?" Jia Wen smiled lightly and held up a cup of tea, and looked at Lu Chuan and his party who had returned after a long absence.
"You don't need to say any more polite words, Your Royal Highness Jiawen." Lu Chuan also responded with a chuckle.
"Haha, look at me, this is a bit strange." Jiawen smiled with his palm, "Mr. Lu Chuan's deeds in Shurima, but it has spread to Demacian, but I want to come, with Mr. Lu Chuan's strength, where will he go? All can set off a storm."
"Oh?" Lu Chuan was puzzled. "My deeds in Shurima? How did it spread?"
The resurrection of the Shurima Empire spread throughout the southeast, northwest and northwest of Valoran. Lu Chuan knew this, but his deeds in Shurima spread to Demacia? At that time, in order to keep a low profile, Lu Chuan deliberately didn't tell Jiawen. Didn't he expect the news to spread so far in just a few days
"Mr. Rumor single-handedly saved the entire Shurima Empire, defeated the terrifying unknown creatures beyond the gods, and made the emperor Azir of the gods bow to you."
"..." Lu Chuan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. It looked like a rumor that one version was more ridiculous than one version, and it finally became tasteless when it spread to other people's ears.
"It's not so exaggerated, it's just a little slapstick." Lu Chuan waved his hand and explained.
It was indeed a small fight, because he did not exert much strength himself. He defeated the Eye of the Void because of the power of Xerath at the time, and later defeated Azir by the power of the gods.
Speaking of him, he didn't have much effort at all in the battle of Shurima's recovery.
But if the rumors are a little weird, how can they be convincing
The rumors these years, if you say it is normal, who will believe it
Without tearing up Bandar City, stepping on legends like Ionia, who would think that it is a legend
"Hehe, Mr. Lu Chuan is really low-key." Jiawen chuckled lightly. Seeing that Lu Chuan didn't want to talk more, he shifted the front of the conversation. "About Noxus, maybe Mr. Lu Chuan might be troubled for help."
"Well, let's talk about it." Lu Chuan came back this time with the intention of dealing with Noxus.
"It's already talked about, now it's up to Noxus when troops will be deployed." Jarvan's expression became a little serious.
In other words, starting a war is already a certainty.
But this situation is very unfavorable for Demacia.
After all, it has only been more than half a year since the last battle with a severely injured vitality. For a country, half a year is too late to regain combat strength.
Lu Chuan rubbed his chin with one hand, frowning slightly, "How much do we have now?"
Gavin paused, and slowly stretched out three fingers.
"Thirty thousand."
"Thirty thousand?" Lu Chuan was slightly surprised.
Earlier, Jarvan could not produce enough troops because of internal rebellion, and all his troops were mobilized by several big families.
But now that all the big families have returned, their forces have been integrated, and with the help of the Fearless Legion, if Lu Chuan remembered correctly at that time, it caused a wave of conscription.
After this, only 30,000 troops seemed to be a bit small.
"Um..." Jarvan said in embarrassment. "Because of the consolidation of the troops, the salary may be slightly worse. Many recruits have applied for retirement soon after joining the team, and we cannot force others to stay."
"Yes." Lu Chuan nodded. At that time, Demacia consumed a lot of military and financial resources after dealing with the Void Messengers, and it was difficult to recover in a short period of time, but the country’s fiscal expenditures must be maintained. Therefore, the treatment of recruits entering the team is slightly worse.
Demacia is a country with extremely heavy human sovereignty. Anyone can protest their dissatisfaction anytime and anywhere.
"Where is Noxus? How much force can be used over there?" Lu Chuan rubbed his chin.
"I don’t know for the time being, but it is conservatively estimated that there will be 100,000 troops..." Jarvan gritted his teeth. The gap between the two is really big, and Noxus has always been stronger than Demacia before. Less, there are rumors that there are strong platinum ranks.
As for Demacia... Perhaps the strongest players now are the two generals of Galen and Xin Zhao, but they only have the strength of one silver star. In comparison, they are somewhat stretched.
"In this case..." Lu Chuan was silent.
Jarvan was not talking, quietly waiting for Lu Chuan's thoughts.
In the current situation, it is impossible to fight a head-on fight. It can only be seen if Lu Chuan can come up with any strange tricks.
After all, from the moment Jarvan got to know him, this guy has been constantly bringing surprises to people.
Next to Lu Chuan, the three chicks were also sitting around, turning their beautiful eyes to look at Lu Chuan who was immersed in thought.
Jarvan glanced at his sister's somewhat blurred eyes, then looked at the expressions of Jana and Ari, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
My own sister, I'm afraid it's going to be empty.
This sister, who has always been proud and arrogant and never looked down on any noble prince, finally met someone who could make her heart fascinated, but she could not get close to him.
Because compared to my own sister who seemed a little naive, whether it was the gentle and elegant Jana or the playful and cute Ari, it was obviously much better than my own sister.
But if Demi were to know what was in Jarvan's heart, I'm afraid it would be a quarrel with him.
Where is a brother who thinks about how bad his sister is...
"Since this is the case, there is only one last way." At this moment, Lu Chuan slowly said.
"What way?" The group's attention was focused on Lu Chuan, although it had been focused on him.
"Before they move troops, persuade them to withdraw their troops and sign a peace treaty."
"... Are you kidding me?" Ari slapped the table and stood up. "People in the country of Noxus are sick. They are really from a fighting nation. It's uncomfortable to meet people who don't make gestures or punches. Type, you go to negotiate a peace treaty with them? Maybe their people are on the way now."
"This is the end of the matter, and I can only give it a try. After all, Demacia will definitely be invincible in a head-on fight." Lu Chuan spread his hands and turned to look at Jiawen, "Well, let me take a rest for two days and make adjustments. After the status, I went to Noxus to be a lobbyist in person. Even if Noxus has sent troops now, but the two countries are far away from each other, it will take at least half a month for a large army to go on their way. I should be able to. Get to Noxus before then."
Jarvan nodded his head in a deep voice, "If this is the only option, then trouble Mr. Lu Chuan."
