Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage Chapter 236

"Long time no see! Best regards from Noxus!"

After a while, Seraphine floated in on the stage. On his back, followed by a white-robed youth.

Seraphine smiled and greeted several people.

Except for Laxana, who frowned slightly and glanced at the white-robed young man, the rest of the eight officials focused their attention on Seraphine.

Tiana nodded friendly and greeted softly:

"Welcome, Herald Seraphine, and we are grateful for Noxus' assistance to us."

"The two countries belong to an alliance, and helping you is what we should do." Seraphine suggested, "We are willing to open up comprehensive relief to Demacia, and hope that Demacia will agree to the entry request for supplies and mercenaries."

The matter of entering the airship before, actually did not get the consent of Demacia.

But the situation was urgent, and the hours after the disaster were prime time for rescue.

If they did not go to the severely affected places for rescue at that time, those people would not be able to wait for rescue alive.

So about the airship, the two sides also tacitly did not mention it.

Tiana exchanged glances with the other eight officials, and nodded slightly in agreement:

"We'll be issuing notices to the border, and thanks again Noxus for the assistance."

The Noxian invasion did not need such a pretense at all, Tiana was still willing to believe that the other party had good intentions this time.

But she didn't quite understand what the other party was planning.

"There's one thing we have to explain in advance." Seraphine said apologetically, "The rescue is a spontaneous act of the Noxians, they are not rich, so the supplies were sold to Demacia at market prices. "

"Market price? This is absolutely not possible!" Bristow looked excited.

After the snowstorm, Demacia's prices absolutely skyrocketed, and they simply couldn't afford such high prices.

"Noxus is also very short of food, these are the materials they have worked hard to save." Seraphine looked embarrassed.

"Eighty percent. It is claimed to be Noxus' selfless assistance." Tiana said firmly.

Eighty percent of the market price is her bottom line.

Talk to a Noxian without any fuss or guilt.

"Thanks to the generosity of the Grand Marshal, the stricken populace and Noxians will appreciate you!"

Seraphine gave a Demacian salute.

She sympathized with those civilians who suffered disasters and was willing to give them some help.

But at the same time, she is also the messenger of the empire and needs to fight for more benefits for the empire.

Essentially, the two are not in conflict.

"This is new information we have received, and I think you will need it."

A stack of paper flew from Seraphine's hand, and Tiana took it into her hand.

Looking at the description on the paper, Tiana's expression became more and more serious, and her body even trembled slightly.

After a long time, she handed the paper to the others and looked at Seraphine with a solemn expression.

On those papers, the disasters in all areas of Demacia were recorded in detail. Taking the village as a unit, the data on casualties, food shortages, material shortages, and migration locations two hours ago were recorded.

After that, he wrote out Noxus's disaster relief proposals and intentions for material mobilization, taking the city as a unit. And there is a note at the back, if it is Noxus to deliver the supplies, the time it will take.

two days...

This is the time when Noxus delivers supplies to Secret Silver City, which is located in the northwest of Demacia and is the largest city farthest from Noxus.

Those big cities near Norkmurchi even need half a day of supplies to be in place.

Seeing this information, Tiana thought more...

This was only less than 12 hours after the disaster, and Noxus already had detailed information on all areas of Demacia.

Thinking deeply, she had no doubt that Noxus could attack all of Demacia in just two days, as mentioned above.

The other eight officials obviously also thought of this.

However, judging from their expressions, except for Laxanna, the other people's reactions were not as intense as Tiana's.

For them, Demacia had no chance of defending against Noxus.

How long they will last is a matter of Noxus' will.

And they have more or less found a way out in the dark.

"Thank you very much for the information provided by your country. We also need your country's help in delivering supplies." Tiana said sincerely.

Silas screwed things up, bringing all of Demacia to the brink of annihilation.

In the current situation, it is the most critical to get through the crisis first.

"It should be." Seraphine smiled. "The Empire's newly developed Hex airship can quickly transport supplies and personnel to designated locations. We have arranged ten ships and let Demacia dispatch them."

Tiana nodded and said seriously: "All costs incurred during this period will be borne by the Crown Guard family."

Demacia and the crown guard are not short of money, as long as they can get through the current difficulties, everything can be said.

Without Noxus' help, there would have been a local mutiny when the food was delivered. Demacia can endure hardships, but she has never lived a life of starvation.

Tiana didn't dare to gamble.

"The supplies that Demacia lacks will be delivered by the Empire as quickly as possible." Seraphine laughed.

In the document just now, the possible gaps in Demacia were clearly written. Even the light shield situation has been taken into consideration.

The idea of the Empire is simple, to make as much profit as possible while keeping the Demacians. During this period, Ming Pai told Demacia that he was not afraid of rejection.

For the empire, Demacia is most valuable in labor, and in the future, it will be able to continuously transfuse blood to the empire.

So... it doesn't matter if the villages and towns are destroyed, but the lives of the Demacians must be preserved as much as possible.

On this basis, the surplus grain and materials purchased from Demacia will be returned at a high price to earn money from the nobles and the treasury. This is the second step.

This incident itself was beyond the expectations of the Empire. No one expected that Silas would find Anivia's sleeping Frost Egg and release it.

Even many members of the Noxus think tank have scolded several times because of this incident.

For Noxus, the more stable and controllable Demacia is, the greater the benefit for Noxus.

Who rules and who is king is not that important to Noxus.

It's just that relatively speaking, they prefer a Demacia that checks and balances each other and leans toward the Empire.

This disaster relief, they can indeed make a small fortune, but also gain a good reputation.

But the inability to start work because of the disaster has indeed caused them to suffer a lot of hidden losses.

If you really want to count it, everything the empire does is just stop the loss in time.

"Grand Marshal, if the Crown Guards need it, we can also sell you ordinary airships," Seraphine said.

Selling the airship is also a plan that has been formulated long ago, and it will be implemented whether there is a disaster.

It just happened to be a disaster, and Demacia would need these more.

After all, Demacia is a sovereign country and cannot rely on others for everything.

"What's the difference between an ordinary airship and a Hex airship?" Tiana keenly discovered the difference.

For the current Demacia, buying an airship is a must.

Relying almost entirely on Noxus, the side also shows their incompetence.

Even a layer of purchased skin is better than receiving aid directly.

"There is not much difference, the latter uses hex gems as an energy source, and the former uses ordinary magic cubes," Seraphine explained.

Simply put, hex airships can fly all the time and are faster, while normal airships need to be constantly recharged.

There are only a few dozen Hex airships in Noxus, all of which were first manufactured by Jace in Piltover.

Only in the first place will the Hex Gems be luxurious enough to be retrofitted to airships.

The follow-up Hex airship has been improved many times by the Hex Technology Department of Zhanzheng College, and now it can be called a veritable Hex technology derivative.

Fast speed, strong carrying capacity, high defense, equipped with offensive weapons, and almost unlimited battery life... It can be called a fortress in the sky.

At the moment, all hex airships are in Noxus' hands. Piltover's transport airship has long been replaced by an ordinary airship powered by magic cubes.

"I intend to buy 20 ordinary airships and the matching magic cubes." Tiana said bluntly.

Naturally, she knew that Hex airships were better, but things related to Hex gems were not for sale in Noxus.

She didn't know what the hex gem was good for, and it was not necessary for them to know that ordinary airships were enough.

"Okay! The Empire will send the airship to Xiongdu within a day." Seraphine readily responded.

There are not a lot of airships in the airspace of Demacia now, just give some of them to Tiana.

Neither of them talked about the price. At this juncture, even if they bought a hundred ships at a premium, it would only be a drop in the bucket for the Crown Guard with deep pockets.

"Laxana... Minister."

Seraphine chatted with Tiana for a few more words, and suddenly turned her gaze to Laxana.

"Please tell me." Laxana was slightly taken aback.

She didn't feel like she had anything to talk to with Seraphine, the Crownguard and Demacia were currently in charge of her aunt, and the Ministry of Magic had already been dispatched, so she could only wait in Xiongdu for her magic power to recover.

"A group of mages want to come back for disaster relief, do you mind?" Seraphine blinked twice.

"Mage... come back..."

Saying the key words, Laxana immediately thought of something, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She knew who Seraphine was referring to, the mages they 'sent' to Noxus.

There was a look from my aunt, trying to make her refuse, but she couldn't speak.

Indeed... For the current Demacia, the rescue is enough, and a little less will not have much impact.

The arrival of these mages is just the icing on the cake. And because of their status, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

but...

"If they are really willing to come back here~www.mtlnovel.com~ to contribute to their hometown relatives and friends, we welcome all their mages from Noxus to come." Laxana finally failed to refuse.

She did not understand the consequences of agreeing.

Noxus provided rescue and material assistance, and at the back, let the group of former Demacian mages who were doing well now be released.

The changes in public opinion caused by these events are immeasurable.

But she also knew clearly that with the help of these mages, they would be able to complete the rescue faster, with fewer casualties and losses.

Not to mention... those mages were originally Demacians.

From the point of view of the current Demacia, she has no way to refuse against her will.

War and aggression are in the future.

And they...

Living in the moment.
