LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Chapter 411 King Jarvan's Declaration of War (Two in One)

As the military flag fluttered, the pace of the German Expeditionary Army was getting closer and closer.

The kings, generals, princes and nobles under the Arc de Triomphe were all silent as if they were facing an enemy.

However, the citizens of Xiongdu, who lined the streets inside and outside the city gate to welcome them, were still ignorant of the turmoil that happened on the upper floors.They were still eagerly awaiting the heroic return of Prince Jarvan.

"Come back, they're back!"

"Long live the expedition! Long live Demacia!"

Finally, Prince Jiawen, dressed in armor, holding a long lance, and riding a steed, appeared in front of everyone with a heroic posture that met everyone's expectations.

"Prince Jiawen!" Cheers rose like a tide.

"General Galen! General Laxanna!" As the presence in the battle report, Prince Jiawen was the only one with more glory, and the siblings also received countless respectful and admiring gazes.

The girl in Huaichun held flowers and waved her arms to Jiawen and Galen excitedly.

The young guy was intoxicated by Lacus' heroic appearance, and shouted excitedly for his idol.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely warm, like a blazing fireball.Everyone was shouting loudly, and then.
"Long live the expeditionary force! Long live!"

Everything came to an abrupt end.

The world is like someone pressed the pause button.The cheers disappeared in an instant, and the smile froze.

Because what appeared in front of them at this time was not only the soldiers of the German Expeditionary Army who had returned in triumph.

In the queue of soldiers of the expeditionary army, there was such a striking square formation:

"T-Demon-stained?" People were bewildered.

Yes, mages, there are hundreds of mages.

Although they were dressed in German armor like other warriors and held high the flag of the All Nations, what they held in their hands was not knives and swords, but staffs exuding magical light.

Moreover, these staves have not yet been equipped with Hex RGB light strips.

No one else could use the so-called "Hex technology" to explain the shocking scene that appeared in front of everyone at this moment——

These sorcerers, sinners with demons, actually appeared at the Arc de Triomphe with Prince Jiawen as the heroes of the kingdom?
"Jiawen." The old king looked at his returning son with an ugly expression.

"Father." Prince Jiawen got off his horse and saluted his father respectfully.

All the nobles present looked at him with extremely strange eyes.He was also completely unmoved.

"You" the old king already had an even worse premonition.

So he lowered his voice and said, "Stop making trouble, kid. Take your people and leave quickly. If you have anything to say, let's go back and talk about it."

Prince Jiawen glanced at his father, and then
"I'm sorry, father. These mages are my comrades-in-arms, and I must seek justice for them."

As he said that, he ignored the nobles around him, especially the Templar nobles headed by Eldred.With extremely gloomy eyes, he turned his head to look at the citizens of Xiongdu present and said:
"Citizens of Demacia, I think you should know who these mages are."

There was a chatter among the crowd.Indeed, they do.

The news that the Crown Guard family led the establishment of the Mage Prisoner Army was not only not a secret in the past few months, but it was the most heated news among the people of Demacia.

They knew of the existence of this mage army, but
"These mages look different from what you imagined, right?" Prince Jiawen laughed.

"This" people first have doubts.But looking at these mages standing quietly in front of them in the posture of soldiers, they couldn't help nodding secretly.

Indeed, in their imagination, and in the imagination of most people in Demacia, mages are a group of extremely dangerous existences.

In everyone's stereotype:
The shape of the male mage can refer to Silas and Xerath, crazy and dangerous;

The shape of the female mage can refer to LeBlanc and Elise, evil and seductive.

In short, people can't help but set up a fire stake and burn a few fiercely.

Hearing that Miss Laxanna of the Crownguard family is going to take a group of mages to the battlefield, what everyone imagined was the thrilling scene of "beauty and a group of beasts".

These irrational and humane beasts are usually kept in iron cages made of rune steel, and the cage doors are only opened during wartime to let them out to bite people.And the role played by Lux in everyone's understanding is probably as dangerous as the kind of animal trainer who deals with wolves, tigers and leopards all day long.

However, now look at:

These mages are all dressed uniformly, move neatly, have a generous demeanor and a straight military posture.

They stood solemnly and solemnly lined up under the triumphal arch, looking like ordinary Demacian soldiers, no different from other expeditionary soldiers.

"Look." Lux and Galen also walked slowly to Jiawen's side, building momentum for him: "They also have two eyes, one mouth, two arms and two legs. They are no different from us, aren't they?"

"Oh!" There was a commotion in the crowd.

Some people instinctively do not accept that beasts can be so human-like.

But more people still recognized the picture they saw now.

And a few of them finally realized a problem——

They fear, loathe, and even hate mages, but they seem to have never seen any mages in real life.

Maybe mages are not as dangerous as they thought?

"No, fellow citizens! Don't be fooled by your eyes!" A nobleman stood up in full view and blatantly sang against the prince.

Prince Jiawen looked at him thoughtfully.

This is a noble from the Demon Sect.Standing behind him by default, Commander Eldred unabashedly indicated the nobleman's camp.

He was pushed out by the Demon Sect to stop Prince Jiawen's outrageous propaganda in front of the citizens of Xiongdu.

"Magic is an evil and dangerous power. People who master this power may look like us on the outside. But in the final analysis, they are no longer human beings."

"They are natural beasts, untimely bombs hidden in the crowd!"

"Have you forgotten? Those who have awakened their magical power, even if they are just children, will kill their parents inhumanely, burn their brothers and sisters into coke, and burn the homeland that raised them to the ground and burn them into ashes. Have such tragedies happened rarely in the past?"

The aristocrat questioned heartbrokenly, causing the citizens of Xiongdu present to nod secretly again.

And the tragedies of human relations he mentioned are not fictional.The stories of these mages killing their own families all happened in the history of Demacia.

"But it's all because the magic is out of control, not because they are inhuman!" Prince Jiawen corrected calmly.

Magic is indeed a very dangerous force.

Those mages who have just awakened their magic power are often unable to control this overpowering talent.And once this power is released uncontrollably, it will easily cause irreparable damage to the surrounding environment.

Silas once lost control of his magic power and killed his chief demon hunter and a pair of innocent farm father and daughter.

So the more than ten years he spent in prison and the torture he suffered in prison were, in a sense, the punishment he deserved.

And similar tragedies have happened from time to time in the history of Demacia.

But this was not the original intention of those mages.They just couldn't control their strength, so they committed manslaughter.

"So what?" The nobleman looked at Prince Jiawen tit-for-tat: "Your Highness, according to what you said, the beast didn't even think about killing people. They just couldn't control their instincts, couldn't they?"

"But are we going to live with wild beasts because they have no intention of harming others?"

The nobleman's words were so sharp that the citizens present who had been shaken by Prince Jiawen's stereotype just now fell to the side of the Forbidden Island again.

But Prince Jiawen was not flustered.

He replied calmly: "The magic power that is out of control is indeed very dangerous."

"But everyone, have you ever thought about how many of the so many mages imprisoned in the Tower of Forbidden Magic had the experience of losing control of their magic power, and how many of them had the experience of hurting others because of their magic power getting out of control? "

"This..." the nobleman was slightly taken aback.

People also cast their eyes curiously, paying attention to this question that they had never thought about and never had the ability to seek an answer to.

"Less than one percent." Only Prince Jiawen said: "Less than one percent will naturally awaken magic power and lose control."

In fact, just the "natural awakening of magic power" is a very harsh condition.

Most mages develop their talent for controlling magic power through acquired learning.

Those who can naturally awaken magic power without training and guidance, and this naturally awakened magic power is too strong to be controlled, are magic geniuses that are unique in a million.

They are equivalent to being born with a magical AP costume, but the conscious operation can't keep up, so they lose control and cheat themselves and teammates.

For example, Seraphine, Lux, and Silas all had similar experiences.

But there are very few such geniuses.

The unlucky ones who killed people around them due to out of control magic power were even rarer.

"Maybe not even one ten-thousandth." Prince Jiawen gave this statistic.

The nobleman of the Forbidden Demon Sect choked hard, and was speechless for a moment.

Because he knew very well that the data that 99.99% of mages had no records of out-of-control injuries was not fabricated by Prince Jiawen for political purposes, but was true, credible and unmistakable.

"But" he wanted to say something more.

But Prince Jiawen was already ahead of him, and said immediately: "Of course, no matter how small the probability is, those naturally awakened mages do have the possibility of getting out of control and hurting people."

"But the problem is—"

"Implementing the anti-magic policy like in the past can't avoid this danger at all, can't it?"

Before the mages awakened, no one knew they were mages.

And when they suddenly awakened and their magic power was out of control, it was too late in many cases.

No matter how powerful the magic hunter is, he can only be the policeman who can only rush to the scene every time someone dies.All they can do is lock up the mages to prevent them from continuing to lose control.

This works, but not completely.

"Who can completely solve this problem?" Prince Jarvan recounted what he saw and heard during his travels: "The people of Zaun."

In all of Runeterra, only Zaun has temporarily managed to prevent this magical runaway problem.

And how do they do it?

"They treated the taboo and noble knowledge of magic, which is strictly prohibited by Demacia and cherished by the mages of Noxus, as the most common language and text, and spread it to children in schools."

"In the compulsory education of Zaun students, "Basic Magic Perception and Control" is always a very necessary course."

"In this way, everyone has the most basic knowledge of magic."

"When they suddenly awaken their magic power, they can control this power more effectively instead of letting it get out of control and hurt people."

"Thus, the Zaun people can not only coexist peacefully with the mages, but also create a safer environment than Demacia, a perfect environment to avoid magic hazards."

"What, what?" These words caused an uproar in the crowd.

There is actually a place in this world that dares to teach magic knowledge to everyone so boldly?

If everyone studies the Fa, won't there be chaos?
"Yes, you heard me right—" Prince Jarvan said resoundingly: "Magic is dangerous, but it can also be controlled and used."

"People who control magic are not beasts. They are also people who can understand each other with us, friends who know each other well, and even comrades who depend on each other on the battlefield and can rely on their backs."

"Nonsense!" the nobleman of the Anti-Magic sect wanted to refute.

But in front of the real and visible pictures, words have always been powerless.

Everyone can see it, and there are hundreds of mages on the scene.

These mages also held the flag of Demacia high, standing calmly and faithfully behind Prince Jarvan.

Who would think of them as monsters without a staff?

"They are all my subordinates, and even more my comrades in arms. They are the heroes who won this great victory for Demacia!"

Prince Jiawen invited a mage with a disabled arm from the team, and said:

"Did you see it? He lost this arm just to block Sion's giant ax for me."

"Without him, without the help of these mages, I would not have survived from Sion, nor would I have the opportunity to fight back and kill the monster, and avenge the shame of the kings and martyrs of Demacia."

"They—are heroes too!"

Prince Jiawen's speech was powerful and touching.

Under the guidance of Galen, he did not play the class card this time, but only promoted the idea of ​​racial equality and put forward his views against discriminatory banning magic policies.

Because the audience at the scene were all citizens of Xiongdu, and besides making a living, they were still willing to welcome Master Wang.

Even the worst among these people can still be regarded as the middle class in the entire Demacia Kingdom.

If they really played the class card, they might not know who they would go with.

What's more, with Demacia's current social background, it is indeed too big a step to promote this from the very beginning.

Therefore, Prince Jiawen only mentioned racial equality this time, and advocated rectifying the names of mages who had been discriminated against in the past.

And these middle-class citizens, they will hate people they have never met because of political propaganda, and they will naturally fall in love with people they have never met because of political propaganda.

"He, and he—"

Prince Jiawen also knows now: the truth is boring, and the story is the one that is pleasant to hear.Therefore, propaganda must pay attention to methods and methods.

So he invited the combat heroes in the mage prisoner army one by one, and told people their stories.

And respecting heroes is the greatest political correctness in Demacia.

Thus, the powerful buff of the veteran and the debuff of the sinner collided head-on at this moment.

And these mages often had some rough and complicated experiences in the past.

Orphan buffs, refugee buffs, downcast noble buffs, and distressed girl buffs are all positive labels that can arouse the sympathy of Demacians in today's social environment.

And in the process of stacking buffs, the images of these mages gradually became vivid and rich.

"This" audience's mentality has quietly changed.

Everyone finally realized that these mages were not monsters.

They are human beings, the heroes of Demacia.

"Hero, shouldn't he be treated with courtesy and treated equally by us?" Prince Jiawen raised his arms and shouted, holding a long lance.

"Should!!" Tuer, who had been arranged by Galen in advance in the crowd, finally came on stage.

It's just that Prince Jiawen didn't know that his good brother had prepared this extra move.

He thought his speech had finally paid off.

As a result, his emotions were even higher:
"Citizens! These heroes have already shed blood for Demacia, we can't let them shed tears again! I don't want to oppose anything today. I just want to fight for my comrades in arms. A chance to triumph as a hero!"

"I just think--"

"Let's all cheer for them!"

Prince Jiawen shouted excitedly, and finally the emotions on the scene were completely ignited.

At this time, childcare is no longer needed.

People excitedly and sincerely looked at those mages they once hated, and shouted loudly with Prince Jarvan:

"Welcome back - our heroes!"

With the cheers of the citizens of Xiongdu, the mages stepped into the gate of this city for the first time in their lives.

The triumphant ceremony ended in a warm atmosphere.

The crowd welcoming the army dispersed, and the princes and nobles at the scene also resigned and left.

And the expressions on the faces of many of them became more gloomy after they left.

"Commander Eldred."

As soon as many nobles left the scene and out of King Jarvan's sight, they gathered around Eldred and had a small meeting.

"My lord commander, what do you think about today's incident?" Everyone couldn't wait to inquire about Eldred's attitude.

"Oh." Eldred snorted coldly.

Those present were all the nobles of the Anti-Magic faction.And now that Jiawen's royal family is clearly under attack, he will stop pretending.

"Your Majesty the King, it seems that we can't tolerate us anymore." He sharply defined what Prince Jiawen did today.

Today, no one from the Demon Sect has been relegated or liquidated, and it seems that there is nothing to lose.

But in fact, what Prince Jiawen did today was even more deadly than suppressing a few nobles from the Demon Sect.

Because, he is shaking the legal principle of the existence of the Demon Sect!
The Demon Seeker Corps has great power in Demacia, but with great power, it often means making countless enemies.

For example, the Demon Seekers possessed the functions of high-level police officers, so in fact, most of the authority of the local sheriff was taken away by them.

At the same time, the Demon Seekers have an independent intelligence network, so the German military intelligence department will inevitably have conflicts with them.

The Demon Seekers are also a de facto armed army, so part of the military's resources will inevitably be taken away by them.

In short, the more power they seize, the more resources they possess, and the more political enemies they have.

In the past, why were the magic seekers able to suppress these opposing voices and grow stronger?
Because they are not only powerful, but also reasonable!

The anti-magic law is the jurisprudence they rely on.

Relying on the detached status given to them by the anti-magic case, they can not give face to the local sheriff, but they have the confidence to compete with the military intelligence department and compete with the German military for resources.

Don't ask, the question is just for the need of banning magic.

In the social atmosphere where "banning demons" was absolutely politically correct in the past, no one dared to openly oppose it.

But now, Prince Jiawen has shaken this political correctness, trying to change the whole society's perception of forbidden demons.

"And once the anti-magic atmosphere in society is loosened, our enemies will definitely attack us in all directions from top to bottom."

The military and military intelligence would say mages weren't that dangerous at all, and that the mageseekers didn't need to take up so many resources.

City lords and magistrates from all over the world will also secretly work hard so that the magic seeker corps can no longer arrest whoever they want to just put a hat on like before.

Anyway, as long as the prohibition of demons is no longer absolutely politically correct, then everyone has reason to oppose the hegemony of the Demonseeker Corps.

"And this is just the beginning." Eldred analyzed in a deep voice: "His Majesty Jarvan's ultimate goal is probably to completely abolish the forbidden magic case!"

First, public opinion must be raised to change the social atmosphere, and then all the enemies of the Demon Seeker Corps should be united. Such a big move by the Jarvan royal family is obviously aimed at killing people.

"Then, what should we do?" The nobles were flustered.

"See tricks. First mobilize our energy and try to change the direction of public opinion." Eldred replied casually.

"This" the nobles are still uneasy: "Is this really useful?"

They are facing the king and the prince.The royal family's words are naturally more effective than the Demon Seeker Corps.

Can they really compete with the royal family for control of public opinion?

If that doesn't work, then
"." Eldred said nothing.

The nobles did not dare to say anything.

Everyone understands this matter, and it is inconvenient to say more if they don't understand.It can only be said that the water inside is very deep, and a lot of things are involved. It is not good for everyone, so just pretend that you don’t know.
In short, they will not wait to die obediently.

"I hope." Eldred concluded coldly: "Everyone can prepare for the worst."

"This..." Someone sighed in apprehension: "Is it really going to this point?"

"Perhaps, this is really just Prince Jiawen's capriciousness?" He said with a trace of beautiful fantasy, "I saw His Majesty Jiawen's expression at that time, it didn't seem like it was acting."

"Perhaps, he really didn't know about His Royal Highness' actions in advance?"

Eldred didn't answer, but just looked at him with mentally handicapped eyes.

"Coward, stop kidding yourself."

Prince Jiawen started a group forcefully, encircling them with no way out.

"Don't you think." Eldred mocked, "is he rebelling against his father?"

Everyone was speechless.

"And don't forget!" Prince Jiawen was just a political idiot with zero practical experience a few months ago.

Threatening his father and opposing the demon ban plan, how dare he handle such a big matter by himself?

Don't think about it, there must be someone behind this.and this person
"If it's not King Jarvan, can it still be the leader?" Eldred laughed mockingly:
"Get serious, everyone—"

"Your Majesty, you have officially declared war on us!"
