Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage Chapter 235

the next day.

The whole atmosphere of Demacia changed completely.

Just last night, there was heavy snowfall in almost 90% of Demacia, and a thick layer of ice formed in the area near the Green Teeth Peak.

When Laxana dragged her tired body away from the Grand Plaza, all Xiongdu people greeted her with their most sincere greetings in their own way.

All night yesterday, Laxana used her light magic to protect Xiongdu, undoing the damage caused by the sudden drop in temperature.

Even while supporting magic, Laxana is still orderly dispatching mages and logistics to other areas for disaster relief.

The territory of Demacia has undergone a sudden change. Just because the temperature has dropped, I don't know how many people will be killed or injured.

Laxana had a worried look on her face. She didn't know what happened until now, and she could only do her best to reduce the damage.

When the tyrannical magic power swept in before, she couldn't have any thoughts of resistance at all.

Even if she didn't go to Green Fang Peak in person, she could still think of the scene she was facing there...

In a radius of tens of kilometers, there is no greenness and vitality in sight. All the plants, fish and insects are shrouded in ice and snow, and they are dead under the thick layer of ice.

Butterflies are spreading their wings, fish are flapping their tails, porcupines are arching the roots of pine trees, thick broth is boiling on the stove... All living things keep their movements, and they don't know it until disaster strikes , enjoying the last breath.

In the face of this sudden change in climate, it is impossible for ordinary people to survive.

"Aunt, what happened?"

As soon as she stepped into the Crown Guard's carriage, Laxana asked anxiously.

What Tiana said before made her mind.

If it hadn't spread too far this time, she would have felt that this incident had something to do with her aunt.

Seeing Tiana's look, Laxanna understood, her left hand wearing silver gloves stretched out, and a light group wrapped the two of them.

"Aunt, you can talk."

Laxana nodded to Tiana, her heart sinking slightly.

After getting along for many years, she knew her aunt very well. What happened last night might really have something to do with the Crown Guard.

"I just got the latest news that an ice bird with a wingspan of several hundred meters appeared on the Green Teeth Peak. It caused this disaster. The entire Green Teeth Peak was frozen, and the Dragon Bird Knights were completely wiped out." Ti Yana stated the whole thing in a flat tone, without the slightest panic and anger on her face.

On the contrary, after hearing the news, Laksana opened her eyes slightly, full of surprise. She subconsciously tightened the magic book in her arms and said incredulously:

"That's the **** of the Freljord, Anivia. How could she be on Greentooth?"

In fact, Laxana is not clear about the origin of the ice bird, but she has a learned teacher.

After learning about the origin of the ice bird, she was even more surprised, and she couldn't help but ask questions in her words.

Where can Demacia provoke such a god-level creature?

Even Noxus, be careful...

"Who knows, maybe what the Dragon Bird Knights did."

Tiana raised her hand and rubbed her temples. She just ordered the two people from the north to lead the Claws of Winter to Xiongdu, so that Laxanna could show it.

Unexpectedly, Silas actually did this kind of thing.

Silas...

Yes, she was sure it was Silas who did it.

Eldred had secretly returned to Xiongdu during the day yesterday. They had just finished communicating the news, and this happened that night.

This was part of the plan, but things got too big...and the impact was serious.

But... it's not all a bad thing.

Tiana had a happy thought in her heart...

At least... no one cares about the trial of Eldred anymore.

The king is temporarily irrelevant, it will be infighting, and Demacia will be destroyed.

Seeing Tiana rubbing her temples, looking like she didn't know it, Laxanna was almost certain that this matter was related to the Crownguard, but she still hoped that what Tiana said was true.

She sighed and glanced out the window:

"This unwarranted disaster even has the possibility of destroying our country."

After she retracted the mask, snowflakes began to fall outside the window.

There is a little chill in the air, even after the worst of the cold, the sudden drop in temperature still brings a cold snap, and snow will continue to fall in Xiongdu and the surrounding areas in the next few days.

The area of influence is very large and the scope is extremely wide, but being able to protect Xiongdu is already her limit.

She shouldn't have been sitting in a comfortable, carpeted carriage at this moment. She should have gone to other places for disaster relief without stopping, but there was not much magic left in her body.

From the point of view of rationality and maximization of interests, she can help more people by sitting in Xiongdu.

The carriage quickly stopped at Dawn Castle, and Laxana and Tiana got off the carriage one after another and rushed to the council hall at a very fast pace.

In the hall, there were only seven of the eight officials present today, and the noble director, Eleanor, was sick at home due to the bad weather last night.

The meeting was held as usual. If Eleanor wanted to recover, at least the disaster had to pass. This was the common will of the other seven officials.

The news that Prince Jarvan was being hunted down also spread to Xiongdu, and the Light Shield Barrier got Tiana's permission yesterday, and sent out to the Freljord for reinforcements.

If they hadn't been affected by the Icebirds and were annihilated at Greentooth Peak, they should have crossed the northern mountains and reached the Freljord by now.

Now almost all the forces of the Light Shield family have been dispatched, and all the characters at the top have been cleared.

All this is Tiana's handwriting, since she has torn her face, she will not show mercy.

"Bristol, open up all of Demacia's reserves to deal with this disaster." Tiana was wearing a huge armor, exuding the power of command.

She did not sit in her own position today, but stood on the steps up from the position of the eight major officials. Further up is the throne that symbolizes the king of Demacia.

Bristow looked serious: "Grand Marshal, our storage is not sufficient. Judging from the extent of this disaster, we need more food and warm clothes."

"If you don't have it, buy it. If it's not enough, distribute all the food from the Light Shield family to the commoners." Tiana didn't think this was a problem worth considering at all.

When she finished speaking, the rest of the people on the long table were startled, but after thinking about it, they felt that there was no problem.

The current light shield is just a piece of meat on the chopping board, and it will be eaten by them in the future.

Demacia is in a crisis, and it is better to use the flesh that is not yet available to rescue it than to cut the flesh on them.

"Well, that should be enough." Bristow's shoulders sank, his expression slightly relaxed.

How much surplus grain is in the treasury, he knows better than anyone else.

The winter has just passed, and now is the season for sowing, and each family has surplus food.

But because of the bad weather, the seeds in the ground are definitely dead, and it's hard to say when they can be replanted.

After a while, it will be a difficult period when they need to open warehouses and release grain.

Much-needed relief is now directed more towards residents in hard-hit areas whose homes have been destroyed.

The heavy snowfall from the sky almost destroyed the unsuspecting marginal villages and towns, causing countless casualties.

The eight officials kept sharing useful information in their own fields, and at the end, Tiana made the decision.

At present, Tiana can exercise almost the same power as the king, and she can decide almost all government affairs on behalf of the king.

"Isn't there any good news?"

After the matter was settled for a while, Tiana rubbed her temples in annoyance and smiled mockingly.

Her words to vent her emotions were just a joke. After listening to the bad news all morning, it was normal to complain casually.

Grantham glanced at the latest news from the guards, and said strangely:

"I have some bad news here."

"There's nothing worse than now." Tiana smiled, "Duke Grantham, let's hear it."

Grantham put down the document in his hand and tried to slow down his speech: "Noxus airships are appearing over us in large numbers."

His news made several others unable to sit still.

Foreign Secretary Adair couldn't help saying: "What do they want to do, go to war?"

"It's not an airship to start a war, at least it's not a floating city floating on our territory now." Tiana said indifferently.

Noxus really wants to invade them, and it is estimated that when they communicated, Ryan's floating castle was already arrogant in the sky above Xiongdu.

Airships are not a regular armament in Noxus. They were used to transport soldiers during the Darkwill era, but they were basically only used to transport supplies and trade during the Trifali Council.

"The Grand Marshal is right, they didn't come for the war." Grantham nodded and sighed, "They came... for disaster relief. As of now, the intelligence shows that they have been rescued and helped. Dozens of marginal villages."

The Dragon Knights of Demacia have been wiped out, and they can't come up with an organized flying unit now.

And even if there is, it is an elite army, and it is impossible to use it for rescue.

Flying machines have a unique advantage in disaster relief. Demacia has a lot of troops, but when the road is blocked by heavy snow, it is too difficult to travel to those severely affected villages.

The trouble is, the more remote the villages are, the more vulnerable they are to snowstorms.

"They're moving too fast." Tiana frowned and put down the document that Grantham handed over.

It's not that she suspects that Noxus has a plan, but that she deeply understands the logic behind this rescue.

Without the approval of the Eight Great Officials, Demacia would not cooperate with Noxus, and at most basically accepted the victims.

Relying on Noxus alone, it rescued dozens of devastated remote villages in just half a day...

This is enough to illustrate a problem!

Noxus knew them... well.

The intelligence showed that the places where Noxus rescued were hard-to-reach and severely damaged villages for the Demacian army.

Before that, they had no communication with Demacia, but the other party finished the matter first.

"So I don't know if this is good or bad, they know us too well." Grantham spread his hands.

The ancestors of Demacia are on top. As the Minister of Administration, he has not received information that the villages have been seriously affected.

They were able to receive feedback from all over the world faster, not because of their Demacian coping ability, but all because of the help of Noxus, the former enemy...the current ally.

I have to say, this is a great irony.

Grantham sat on the velvet cushion, feeling the burning pain in his cheeks.

If they really want to take responsibility, they should all abdicate.

"It's good that they can help us during this special period." After a moment of silence, Adair said.

He was really grateful for Noxus' willingness to help.

The previously aggressive empires not only did not fall into trouble this time, but instead gave them all-round help.

"But it's hard to say how much fighting spirit our people will have in the future." Gilbert poured a bucket of cold water.

Hearing this sentence, everyone fell silent again.

What the Marquis Gilbert said was true.

After the rescue, the local villagers must be grateful to Noxus.

People's hearts, what Demacia has lost is hearts that can't be replaced by a thousand dollars.

"This is a later story. If there is no Noxus, most of those disaster victims will die." Laxana calmly said.

One thing is undeniable, Demacia is simply not capable of carrying out the rescue.

Whatever Noxus' scheme was, they should not speculate with any malice.

Demacia is the one who really benefits.

Laxana's words turned the topic back to disaster relief.

Bristow's face was a bit more bitter than before, and he waved his hand and complained:

"This time, I have to take out a lot of money."

As expected, he did not consider the situation of those victims at all.

Without Noxus' rescue ~www.mtlnovel.com~ most of the victims would have died before the rescue, and their relief supplies and food would not have been needed.

But now... instead, because of Noxus' rescue, they have to take care of these people's daily life.

"grown ups..."

At this time, the guards of the parliament hall came in.

When everyone looked at him, the guard said nervously:

"Emissary of Noxus asks."

"Let her in," Tiana said.

At this time, Seraphine came to see them, which must be related to the disaster relief.

"Yes!"

The soldier bowed and hurried away.

The eight officials looked at each other and understood their thoughts.

Now that Demacia is in trouble, they can accept it as long as the Noxian conditions are not excessive.
