Chapter 284: Mage Penal Army?
"Hey?" Lux's golden hair trembled, and she asked with wide eyes, "Are you willing to accept our conditions? Really, mother?"
Ogatha: “Uh…”
Seeing her daughter's silly look, she suddenly felt that this matter seemed unreliable.
Is this silly girl with almost zero political IQ really qualified to be the King of Demacia... ahem, no, the President of the Demacia Leaders Association?
Such an important job is given to a young girl like you?
Wouldn’t her daughter be fooled by Levi’s blank check?
"No!" Lux said stubbornly, "President Levi would never lie to me!"
"Besides..." She blushed again, "There are only two people in the Demacia branch right now, including Sona and me."
"If I don't become the president, who will?"
Ogasha: "..."
She was silenced again by Lux's words.
Good fellow. It turns out that you, the guild leader, are nothing but a commander without any troops... No, even this so-called Demacia branch does not exist at all!
"So, so what?" Lux straightened her chest and said confidently and excitedly: "President Levi said:"
"As long as I can build this team from scratch, the Demacia branch will naturally exist!"
Ogatha was silent again.
She understood.
It seems that Demacia is not important in the short-term development strategy of the Leader.
Levi simply gave Lux a letter of appointment and an empty branch organization, and let her do her job on her own.
Just like when the Noxian Empire failed in its invasion and fled, it did not forget to give the Demacia bandits a few general titles, organize a few war groups, and let them stay in Demacia to cause trouble... The starting points of the two are different, but the operating principles are similar.
this……
"That's not bad." Ogasha's brows relaxed.
If the Demacia branch had been established long ago and had already gained considerable power, then she would have to worry about Lux.
After all, a girl president who is less than 14 years old and has no political experience, is parachuted into an already mature unit alone... It would be a miracle if she is not sidelined.
Now the Demacia branch has only the organization but no personnel, which is a bad check that Levi gave Lux.
But think about it from another angle: this is how Lux successfully joined a startup, got original shares, and secured the position of future CEO!
When the Demacia branch becomes bigger and stronger in the future, this entire team was built up by Lux in the struggle. How can she not be worthy of being the president of Demacia?
And a president of the Leaders Association who holds real power is much more powerful than the King of Demacia!
If the king's decrees could be passed down from the capital to the local areas and towns, it would be considered a sign of strong royal power.
However, Levi's power can be micro-managed to the district, the street, even the community, and to every person in the community, so that his decisions can be implemented without compromise in every inch of land controlled by the leader.
If Jarvan III knew that Levi could make the front-line artillery adjust its angle by 30 degrees with just one word, he would definitely be secretly envious, as he could hardly command the demon-hunting troops around him.
"Lux... President?" Lady Ogatha's heart began to beat wildly when she thought about the fact that her daughter might have such prestige in the future, and that the name of the Crown Guard could make every Demacia respect her in this way.
"I understand." Finally, she sighed with mixed feelings.
The conditions promised by Levi were indeed sincere. This was worth a gamble by the Mianwei family.
What's more, the current situation is that even if she doesn't place a bet, Lux is determined to get to the gambling table. There's no way to stop her.
"Luxury, I agree to let you and Sona join the Ionian expedition. As for what you will do after you go there... I will just pretend that I don't know."
"But I have one condition."
"What conditions?" Lux asked nervously.
Madam Ogersa looked at her daughter's still young face and quietly changed her role back to that of a mother: "The front line is dangerous, and what you are going to do is also dangerous. I need Levi to promise to guarantee your safety, Lux."
"Mother..." Lux pursed her lips with emotion: "Don't worry. President Levi has also thought of this. He will ensure my safety!"
Levi specially asked Janna to equip Lux with a special bluebird incarnation that can bring out the goddess' current half-realized divine power.
Although this amount of divine power is far from invincible, it is enough for Lux and Sona to protect themselves.
If they really encounter an unsolvable danger, the blue bird incarnation can also take the two little girls and fly away.
If they can't even fly away, they can still use the Bluebird Avatar to remotely mobilize people, and let Tam teleport across the map to provide airborne support.
"In short, we will be safe!" Lark said without any fear .
"That's good." Ogatha's brows were still filled with worry. In fact, she was still worried.
"By the way, mother." Lux suddenly blinked again and said, "If you are really worried about my safety, can you help me again?"
"Hmm?" Ogasha raised her eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly: "You girl... no, it's that guy Levi, what trick did he give you again?"
"Hmm..." Lux was also a little embarrassed.
But for the sake of her own ideals and to ensure smoother work in the future, she shamelessly made a request to her mother, who valued the honor of the nobility, which was tantamount to treason:
"Mother, you know that the warriors of Demacia all believe in the way of chivalry. It is not easy to change their minds in a short time."
"Sona and I don't have much practical experience. It may take a long time for us to gain a foothold among the Demacia warriors after we reach the front line."
"So... Mother, can you help me arrange a team of 'our own people' and have them go to the battlefield with me?"
"One of our own?" Madam Ogersa's face darkened. "You mean..."
"Are you planning to recruit companions from our family guards first?"
The warriors of Demacia may not have the patience to listen to this little girl Lux promoting Janna's thoughts, but the guards of the Crownguard family certainly have the patience.
After all, they were originally Lux's retainers.
Ogatha could have sent a team of family guards to follow Lux to the front line under the pretext of "protecting her daughter's safety."
On the surface, they are bodyguards for Lux, but in reality, they are part of Lux's rebel team.
And these retainers were all overseas, far away from their homeland, and were recruited by Lux to rebel... Even if their failure was exposed afterwards, the Crown Guard family could still shirk responsibility by saying that it was Lux's personal behavior and they were completely unaware of it.
"This... is not impossible." Mrs. Ogersa was just about to praise this idea.
Unexpectedly, Lux shook her head solemnly: "No, mother, you are wrong."
"The 'our own people' I mentioned do not refer to our Crown Guard's family guards."
"The 'one of us' I'm talking about is——"
Lux stretched out her finger, and a faint light shone from her fingertips:
"A mage, a mage imprisoned in the Demacia Forbidden Tower."
“??!” Ogasha’s pupils shrank.
Mage! The one Lux targeted was the mage imprisoned in Demacia's Forbidden Tower!
yes……
Those mages were the ones who originally held a strong hatred towards Demacia.
From the moment they were arrested by the Demon Seekers, they had lost everything they had in Demacia, including their human rights and freedom.
And these people who have nothing will definitely be very happy to accept the propaganda of Janna's thoughts that Lux brings to them.
Ogatha was so shocked by this bold plan that she was speechless.
Lux clenched her fists, and under her mother's increasingly complicated gaze, she spoke in a quietly mature tone:
"Mages are useless and just time bombs in Demacia. So why don't we throw these bombs overseas and make good use of their power?"
"Mother, I hope you can use this reason to convince His Majesty Jarvan— "
"Let him allow the mages to redeem themselves from their crimes, let these criminals go out to sea to fight for Demacia, give them a chance to exchange their blood for wealth and honor, and to leave Demacia freely."
"And I, Lux Crownguard, the eldest daughter of the Crownguard family, am willing to harness this dangerous force for Demacia and serve as the commander of this army of mage prisoners!"
