Chapter 228 I am a special correspondent (please subscribe~)

The Ionia branch of the Wind Leader Association was established without Levi's knowledge.

After several days of sailing, "Branch President" Riven finally returned to their ship together with "Vice President" Fiya and a group of sailors who followed Fiya to join the Wind Leader and become "official members".

's hometown.

This is the province of Balua in Ionia.

Ionia is a country of islands, and the province of Balua is a relatively small island among them.

Because the resources of the Barua Province are relatively poor and the strategic significance is limited, and the Navoli Province next door is the spiritual totem and core territory of Ionia, it helped attract most of the firepower of the Noxus Empire.

So fortunately, the war has not reached here yet.

Well. At least before Feiya went to sea, in her knowledge, the Baru'e Province was still safe.

"It's finally here." Seeing that she was about to return to her hometown, to the land of Ionia, Feiya's eyes couldn't help but shine again.

She asked Riven expectantly: "Orianna, no. President Orianna."

"After we get a foothold ashore, what should we do next?"

After the branch organization has been established, it is necessary to confirm the long-term goals and short-term goals of the organization.

The long-term goal is, of course, to realize the leader's ideals in Ionia.

But how to achieve the liberation of people in this special place? Regarding this question, Riven can't give an answer at the moment.

So what Feiya asked was actually the short-term goals of the organization.

A very direct question - what will leaders like them do next when they get together? What will they pursue?

"Uh" Riwen stood blankly on the bow of the boat, blowing the sea breeze, as if the wind would make her face stiff.

What’s next?

She doesn’t know!

Three weeks ago, she was a criminal named by the Wind Leader Association to be arrested and tried. How come she is now the president of the association inexplicably?

And she had never thought about what she would do after arriving in Ionia. She just wanted to live as long as possible.

"President Orianna?" Feiya was still shaking her cat ears expectantly, looking at her with big watery eyes: "You haven't revealed your plan to us. Are you preparing for some secret operation?

?”

She didn't forget that Riven was the "special correspondent" of the Leader, and she might have other important tasks entrusted by the organization.

"Uh" Riwen was even more embarrassed: "No, I don't have that kind of mission."

"Then what should we do next?" Feiya asked again.

Riwen was silent for a long time.

Suddenly, her expression changed and she murmured: "Noxus."

"Noxus?" Feia thought thoughtfully.

"I understand!" Then her cat ears perked up, her eyes lit up, and she figured out the truth from "President Orianna's" words: "President, what do you mean?"

"The main contradiction in Ionia now is actually the contradiction between invaded Ionia and Noxian imperialism."

"So what we have to do now is to temporarily leave the internal problems as secondary conflicts for later resolution, and first focus on helping Ionia fight against the Noxian invaders?"

Rui Wen:"."

What Fiya said made sense. After Fiya said this, she seemed to finally know what she should do now.

But Riven doesn't have time to study theories and strategies with Feiya now.

She just blurted out "Noxus" because she used her extraordinary vision, which was comparable to a telescope, to see something very familiar:

"Run quickly, that's a Noxian warship!"

Of course Feiya's merchant ships couldn't outrun the Noxus Empire's warships.

Not long after, their merchant ship was surrounded by several large imperial warships at sea, and they were ordered to follow them back to port for inspection.

Riven originally wanted to try to use force to break out of the encirclement, but when she saw more and more Noxian warships appearing in front of her on the sea, which could be said to be thousands of miles away, and their flags covered the sky, she knew that it was too late to do anything now.

.

"Ten escort warships, plus so many troop carriers, this is at least the strength of a second-class battle group."

"Feiya, cooperate with them and don't show any intention of resistance." Riven said with an ugly face.

"Okay, okay." Feiya turned pale with fright.

She looked at the dense gun muzzles locked on her from afar on those warships. Even though she was unwilling to do so, she had no choice but to obey the instructions sent by the Noxians in semaphores, lower the sails, and follow the fleet into the harbor for inspection.

"Wait, let's enter the port for inspection?"

Feiya shuddered again and froze as if struck by lightning:

Which port to enter? There is only one port nearby, and that is her hometown, Yipu River Port in Balu'e Province.

In the past few years, this place has not been affected by the war. And now, the Noxians actually let her enter the port for inspection like the owner of this place?

Could it be that.

"Your hometown may have been captured." Riven didn't dare to look into Feiya's eyes.

She looked at the sea that was almost covered by the Noxian flag, and said with a complex expression: "There are only a large number of troop transport ships here, and no landing craft was seen. This means that the landing operation has ended, and the empire has won."

"The scene we are seeing now is just Noxus adding troops - and the reinforcements we see alone have the strength of a complete second-class battle regiment."

"It is not difficult to imagine that in the previous landing operations, at least one battle group successfully landed and occupied the Yipu River Port."

In other words, Riven and the others are now facing two entire battle groups, and there may even be more.

Why do so many people come to a small port city?

"They probably want to use this Yipu River Port as a landing point and advance base to further conquer the entire Balu'e Province." Riwen concluded helplessly.

"And with the strength of Balu'e Province"

Riven thought of the relevant information she had learned and mastered in advance in the military camp as a reserve force for the invasion of Ionia.

Although Noxus has never come to Barua Province, this does not mean that the War Masons' intelligence agents have not come here to conduct investigations.

In fact, the Empire's espionage work on Ionia had been carried out secretly even before the war began.

Many Ionians may never leave the village where they were born, but the War Masons have already visited every corner of Ionia.

This has even led to a very absurd phenomenon - the most accurately restored map of Ionia is not from the hands of any Ionian, but a painstaking masterpiece created by the Noxian war masons for the invasion.

So Riven is quite aware of the situation in Ionia. This also includes the province of Balua where she is currently located.

The province of Balua is considered the weakest province in Ionia.

No matter how hard you try in other provinces, they are still protected by various powerful sects and sects, but what about Baru'e, which has a sparse population and a small territory?

There is only one famous Wuji Sword Sect.

When the Wuji Sword Sect was founded, they regarded themselves as aloof sages. Their swordsmanship could not see the troubled times, let alone dirty blood. Therefore, for hundreds of years, Wuji has always been isolated from the world, living alone, without any knowledge.

No outsider has ever seen it.

To put it bluntly, they are a bunch of "dead nerds".

Theoretically, whether the people under the mountain live or die has nothing to do with these masters. Their entire sect has become an immortal, and there is nothing else in their minds except the way of the sword.

If these Wuju masters are not slapped directly in the face, they may never go down to resist Noxus in their lifetime.

If the masters of the sect are unreliable, then can the clan armed forces and the landlord regiment be reliable?

It’s also unreliable.

It costs a lot of money to organize group training. No one came to Balu'e Province for several years in a row, so the landlords had no use for organizing group training.

The Ionians are accustomed to city-state autonomy and the "unorganized" structure of their own affairs, and most of them have no heroic ambitions to take advantage of these troubled times to dominate and unify the world.

So this private group training in Balu E started to take place but disappeared.

"There's no way Balua can stop Noxus."

"According to the internal combat assessment of the imperial army, once the conquest of Balua Province officially begins, the complete occupation of Balua may be achieved within a month at the earliest."

"How, how could it be possible?" Feiya felt like the sky was falling.

She just went out to sea and was gone when she came home?

It's not that Feiya didn't expect this day to come, but she didn't expect it to come so suddenly.

She couldn't even resist as she imagined, and her hometown fell, and she even became a prisoner in the hands of a Noxian warship.

"What will they do to us?" Feiya was so scared that she didn't pay attention.

The sailors were also more nervous than the other.

Because they had more or less heard about the cruelty of Noxus from the refugees from the neighboring province of Navoli. And in the stories of those war refugees, the image of the Noxians was not much different from those cannibal demons.

"Don't be afraid." Although Riwen was also very nervous, she still tried her best to comfort her.
