LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

At first, Levi really didn't know what happened in Ionia a month ago.

He only knew that Janna's strength had skyrocketed in those few days, as if she had taken medicine. It seems that Leader's publicity work in the Twin Cities suddenly changed quantitatively and qualitatively, allowing Janna to have tens of thousands more casual believers every day than usual.

And he didn't have time to ask Janna what was going on.

Instead, Janna came to him first and asked: "Levi, there are suddenly many believers in Ionia. Do you have any clues?"

Yes, the goddess herself doesn’t quite understand the situation.

Because the connection between the goddess and believers is not as close as imagined, Janna is not omnipotent and omniscient.

It doesn't mean that as long as a person believes in Janna, Janna is like a large mind control tower, which can see the person's past experiences and inner thoughts without leaving any privacy.

She can only hear the prayers of believers and feel the power of faith from believers. At best, she can determine the specific location of believers by following the source of the power of faith, rather than reading minds from a distance.

She can feel whether the believers' prayers are pious and whether their beliefs are pure - as long as this condition is met, she will respond graciously to the believers' prayers and grant them divine power.

And if believers want to get more and more detailed help from the goddess...

Then it is best for him to state his identity clearly when praying, explain the ins and outs, and explain the details of his needs clearly.

So Janna only knew that a massacre occurred in Ionia. During the massacre, countless Ionians converted and begged her for help in their hearts.

As for how the faith of the Wind Leader spread, and how the Ionians came up with the idea of ​​collectively seeking help from Janna at a critical moment of life and death, she was not sure.

Later, Levi sent Tam to teleport over to quietly inquire about the information, and then he roughly figured it out:

"The so-called Leaders' Chapter in Balu'e Province is a civil society group that the Ionians were forced to form spontaneously in order to save themselves from the nation."

"A spontaneously formed civil society group?" Swain frowned slightly, but then relaxed.

"Okay...this can be considered a 'reasonable' explanation."

Swain clearly didn't believe it.

He also thought that Li Wei was trying to make a superficial cut with the troublesome Ionian branch to offend His Majesty the Emperor, who was bent on asking for guilt.

But Levi confirmed seriously: "What I said is true."

Swain: "..."

"Is it true that you didn't send people to form the Ionia branch?"

"no."

"What about Orianna Levik, who claims to be the special commissioner of the Wind Leader?" Swain said this name that is now famous throughout Ionia.

Because of the Wind Leader's feat of preventing the massacre of the city in Balua Province, "Orianna" overnight became a banner of resistance to the Noxus Empire and a hero in the hearts of the Ionians.

However...

"She's not Orianna Levick at all."

The real Orianna is still working as a trainee in Zaun's Scientific Equipment Department.

It is said that Victor is very fond of this student. The two people got together and discussed some scientific ideas of "mechanical ascension" all day long, and also came up with some interesting cutting-edge inventions:

For example, an AI steam robot equipped with a Hex native crystal that accidentally awakens an independent consciousness... or something.

In short, the genuine Orianna is very busy right now.

And that Ionia’s “Orianna”:

"Not only is she not Orianna, but she is not Zaun or Lady Piltover."

"She," Levi said meaningfully, "is actually a Noxian who has nothing to do with us, a defected Noxian officer."

"But she and her followers can control the storm. They are clearly the leaders." Swain still didn't believe it.

"Yes, they are leaders." Li Wei solemnly nodded in approval: "But they are not the leaders we trained. Do you understand what I say?"

Swain: "..."

How could a Noxian officer and a group of Ionians create such a huge momentum in just a few days with a pamphlet called "A Brief Introduction to Janna's Thoughts"?

this...

This incredible truth shocked him even more than anything he had seen in Zaun before.

Because Swain knows what this means.

This means that the leader has completed the early layout and accumulation of potential energy, formed an ecological closed loop and self-iteration, transformed from the traditional P2C play style into a decentralized C2C model, and finally produced a fission reaction in the sinking market, realizing This is a dimensionality reduction attack on all old competing products.

That is to say...

"Janna's faith cannot be killed." Levi said: "Even if our Zaun Wind Leader loses, is wiped out, and no one is left, the Ionian Wind Leader will still be in pain. Stand up spontaneously."

"The leader of Ionia has been defeated. Noxus, Demacia, Shurima... all the people who are suffering in Runeterra, and thousands of leader of the leader, will still benefit from the hands of their predecessors." Take over this bloody flag and continue our unfinished business."

"As long as world unity has not yet been realized, leaders will always have such vitality."

"Do you understand? Comrade Swain."

Swain remained silent. He got it.

It turns out that the vitality of the leader does not depend on the leader himself, but on the world. As long as there are suffering people in the world, leaders will always exist.

Can anyone stop this force? No.

Even if, like Pi City, they use excess profits to win over people's hearts and use affluent material life to cover the eyes of Pi City people. They can't cover those who are blocked from the border of Pi City, the thousands of "downtowners" who are eager to enter Pi City but cannot.

Seben will never give up its dominance, and suffering will always exist.

Janna will never die, and the leader will never be defeated.

Even if we lose for a while, it is nothing more than a few more upward historical spirals.

"It seems that I am on the right path." Swain said with deep emotion.

A large part of the reason why he chose to join before was because he was intimidated by the force of the Wind Leader. It was a passive choice made in compliance with the natural law of Noxus, where the weak and the strong prey on the strong.

But now, he realizes the leader's true trump card outside of force, and finally realizes that his choice was correct.

"Speaking of which..." Swain sighed, and then quickly thought of the leader: "President Levi, do you plan to truthfully respond to Noxus' questioning like this?"

"Yes." Levi nodded: "Just tell the emperor that the leader of Ionia has nothing to do with the leader of Zaun."

"This..." Swain questioned: "This does not need to be true, so that the empire cannot find an excuse to start a war."

"but..."

The Empire can't find a reason to go to war with the Zaun Wind Leader, so it can go to war with the Ionian Wind Leader.

Aren't you cutting with the Ionian leader?

Okay, then don't blame me for not showing mercy to Zaun's "allies" and going to beat up those Ionians who "pretend to be leaders."

"In fact, the empire is already doing this." Swain said: "Darkwill began to issue orders to the two war groups in the Balua Province to search for traces of the Wind Leader a month ago, and We are also continuing to draw battle groups from the main force of the Ionian Front to increase troops to the Balua Province."

Swain knew very well that the Balu'e Province was remote, with high mountains and dense forests, and poor resources. It had no strategic or economic value at all.

But in the past month, the Ionian Front has slowed down its offensive in the main battlefield, Navoli Province, and began to continuously send more troops to the Baru'e Province.

This was clearly aimed at the leader entrenched in Baru'e.

When Darkwill targeted the Ionian leader, it was obviously Xiang Zhuang dancing his sword, intending to force Zaun's leader to fight back.

But Levi happened to use the Holy Separator, giving Zaun and Ionia's leader a "just cut".

"President Levi, if you do this, I'm afraid it will put a lot of pressure on the leader in Ionia." Swain said.

"I understand." Of course Levi knew that no matter what he chose, war was inevitable.

Unless he could cold-bloodedly abandon Ionia's leader to Noxus.

"I know that this battle must be fought." Levi said: "But Darkwill wants this battle to happen in Zaun, between you and me. He wants to use you to test me and use me to destroy You—I can’t let him have his wish.”

"If he wants to fight, we have to choose the enemy and the battlefield!"

"I see..." As an old strategist, Swain immediately understood: "You want to maintain superficial peace with Noxus in Zaun, and then fight with Noxus in Ionia." A 'proxy war'?"

"No..." He quickly discovered the biggest flaw in this plan: "I am afraid that the leader of Ionia is not capable of being an agent and fighting Noxus head-on-"

"Do you want to use the name of Ionia's leader to fight against Noxus overseas?"

"That's right." Levi smiled slightly and said, "We in Zaun definitely want to maintain peace with the Noxus Empire and continue doing business."

"So Zaun will always remain neutral in the conflict between the Ionian Windbrothers and Noxus."

"But..."

"The leader of Ionia is also a leader after all."

"Some of our warriors volunteered to go to sea as individuals to support the Ionian Wind Leader's just anti-invasion struggle out of faith and friendship... I can't stop this."
