Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

"Did Besilico betray the Empire?"

Darius inserted the axe beside the seat and stared at the map on the round table.

His hands were tightly clenched into fists, and his thick hands pressed down on the round table so hard that anyone could feel his strength.

"The change of the empire has given everyone a chance to make a new choice. Bersilico is just the first to take down the flag of the empire. The general stationed there, if I remember correctly, seems to be called..."

Before Ryan's plain words could be finished, Darius was brutally interrupted:

"Quiretta! Back then, the two of us, together with Draven, were under Colonel Cyrus."

"I think they just haven't put up the new imperial flag, but there is a new flag just made in the parliamentary hall, General Darius." Ryan said with a smile.

He looked at the round table of the parliament, where a bright red flag was planted with the new emblem of the empire printed on it.

Hearing Ryan's words, Darius was obviously hesitant, with a struggle on his face.

Quiletta, the name signifies so much more than just his original partner.

Ryan's meaning is clear to him, and Trifali can let go of this matter, as long as Besilico re-plants the new flag of the Empire.

If this can be done, it will be enough to prove that it was Darkwill who was there before, not the Trifaris Council now in power.

And this is the power brought by his strength.

However, he didn't want to do it in his heart.

"I'll go there myself and find out what's going on."

Darius took a deep breath, clenched his fists tightly, and looked at Ryan with pleading eyes.

"You want to go alone?"

Ryan raised an eyebrow, he didn't think it was a good idea.

Belsilico was located on the northern defenses of the Empire and was stationed with at least three thousand Noxian soldiers.

That wasn't the Pilgrim magistrate, it was a heavily armed Noxian elite.

If it wasn't just Quileta who rebelled against the Empire, Darius risked being exhausted there.

He didn't think that those people could break Darius' defense, but relying on the sacrifice of numbers to kill Darius, this should be possible.

Otherwise, it would not be called a rebellion, but a farce.

"The Raven told me that her betrayal stemmed from her dissatisfaction with you, Darius," Swain wrote lightly.

He has almost no personal desires, and has always firmly believed that the relationship between his sons and daughters will be his stumbling block.

"Commander, there's no need to be so harsh." Ryan shook his head and smiled. "Trifari is the new ruler. Although we are well-known to the public, we also have quite a few political enemies. Naturally, they don't want to serve under our command."

Draven cut a batch a few days ago, but many are not in the Immortal Citadel.

And those generals and local magistrates who were related to those who were liquidated were not surprised to do anything.

However, what they didn't expect was that Besilico was the first to express disobedience, and his garrison general had a close relationship with Darius.

"This time I have to go. Your Majesty, I need your help to send me there. I only need one day." Darius said decisively.

"I respect your choice, Darius." Ryan said, "When you prepare one day, someone will set the coordinates near Becilico, and I will personally teleport you there."

Every rune teleportation must have coordinates there. Most of them are magical media created by the Master himself.

Darius had one on him, so yesterday he was able to use a huge amount of mana to recall it.

And Besilico is located in the northern border of the empire, he has not been there, and can only be prepared in advance.

Darius was a heavily armored soldier, and he ran there from a long distance. It is estimated that the anti-flag was planted on the head of the city.

"Xin Zhao."

"The end is here!"

Xin Zhao, who was guarding the door, turned around, knelt down on one knee, folded his fists and cupped his hands in a salute.

"Take it to Bercilico and light the candle."

Ryan added a pure blue candlestick in his hand, waved his hand gently, and floated to Xin Zhao.

"Okay! It only takes one day, and candles must be lit on it!"

Xin Zhao had a solemn face. After taking the order, he grabbed the candlestick in one hand and walked out the door.

At the door, he blew a loud whistle. Immediately afterwards, he slammed his legs, jumped high, and flew straight to an altitude of tens of meters.

As he fell, a shadow flew over quickly, caught him, and quickly headed north.

The creature had a head like an eagle, four claws, two giant wings flapping, and disappeared without a trace after a while.

"Wing Cavalry commander Xin Zhao, well-deserved reputation."

Darius suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and the tiger's eyes widened as he watched Xin Zhao ride away on the griffin.

He had heard of Xin Zhao's reputation as the strongest general under Ryan.

Even after Ryan and Swain resigned from the army, he was still active in the Ionian battlefield, guarding the island of Philo, and often dispatching troops to help Noxus.

"An incident happened a few days ago. Our Senator Elise went out to sea on a boat, and the target was Shadow Island." Swain's face was calm.

He knew everything that happened in the empire.

"Shadow Island, the gathering place of dirty souls." Darius didn't care.

Shadow Island gathers a large number of undead, like a half-lived and half-dead country.

The souls of creatures who die there will not return to the underworld, but will be transformed into undead there, retaining their strongest desires during their lifetime.

Only people who knew the place well, or the desperate Bilgewater bounty hunter, would set foot on a land that did not belong to the living.

"It was originally called Fuguang Island, and it was a country with extremely developed magic. But later, two incidents completely changed the place." Ryan expressed regret.

He thought for a while, then added:

"However, there are still many magical relics or tomes about magic. Elise should aim for them."

"As a gift for the establishment of the parliament, it is a good choice." Swain's mouth curved into a contempt, and he added lightly: "Trifari wants to win over or eliminate all the unstable factors of the empire."

"She was originally a pawn of Black Rose, and now she is naturally inclined towards them, but one day, she will truly become one of us." Ryan smiled, "Her strength is not worth mentioning now, but behind the scenes, she will truly become one of us. Spiders are interesting. And only we can help her free her from the web."

After discussing trivial matters for a while, Swain opened his mouth to mention another thing:

"General Darius, the Western Front is about to have a breach. Under the leadership of Prince Demacia and the new Captain Sword, our army is losing ground."

"After dealing with Besilico, I will head there with the Trifary Chapter. The prince and Captain New Sword are just two young babies." Darius snorted coldly and took over the job.

Noxus is shrinking its defense line, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't dare to resist when someone hits the door.

"You don't need to open up new territories, but you have to teach them a lesson," Ryan reminded.

Now the war potential of the empire is almost exhausted, and it is enough for the other side to dare not attack.

In the future, there is land waiting for them to conquer.

"clear!"

Darius strode out of the council to prepare for the coming war.
