LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

Chapter 250 The Leader in Swain’s Eyes

Seed benzene also comes in different forms, and there are good and bad qualities among the different forms.

Industrial seed benzene is relatively progressive, and in the right historical period, it can promote and promote the development of productivity.

Financial seeds can drive industrial development through investment, which has certain positive significance. But the side effects and hazards are also more terrifying.

In the past, Piltover was based on industry and supplemented by finance. It naturally developed smoothly and prosperously.

But ever since Camille introduced the Noxian army to settle in, Piltover has ushered in a very hip-reaching form of semen - comprador semen.

The comprador merchants were completely dependent on foreign forces. They only appeared to be independent, but in fact they were an extension of imperialism in Piltover and an economic vassal of the nobles of Noxus.

They have no desire or need for the people of Piltover to live a good life.

They only need to please their masters and maintain Noxus' economic control over Piltover, so that they can make a lot of money.

And now...

It's not even the compradors who control Piltover, but the international colonizers from the Noxian Empire.

To put it bluntly, the people of Piltover have in fact become slaves of the subjugated country and second-class citizens of the Noxus Empire.

So on top of the class oppression they shouldered, there was an additional layer of national oppression from Noxus.

It’s not like Pi City doesn’t have money to bail out the market now.

The Sungate Canal in Piltover is like a money printing machine, endlessly "manufacturing" gold coins out of thin air every day.

The constant flow of maritime business travelers also injected new vitality into the city through their continuous consumption and supplies in Piltover.

But the problem is that most of this income... was all taken away by the Noxus colonial ruling group represented by Amystan.

"How much did you take? Sixty percent, or seventy percent?"

Swain frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask about Amystan.

"This..." Amystan was a little embarrassed.

In fact, not only the Picheng Ziben family wanted to run away, but she also wanted to run away.

She asked her superiors to send Swain to take over, and she generously gave up her position as "Governor of Piltover". Wasn't it just to make it easier for her to run away in the future?

So here’s the question: How can she have the motivation to improve Piltover’s economy if she already wants to run away?

"I don't know the specific proportion..." Amystan said.

In fact, she really didn't know. I don’t know if it’s 80%, 90%, or more.

All she knew was that she took everything she could. In addition to the most basic funds to maintain the political operation of Pi City, she did not leave any oil or water for the people of Pi City.

Colonial governors elsewhere managed their colonies in a sustainable way.

Amystan is better.

She almost dug out a piece of the fish pond and packed it up to take home.

"Amistan!" Swain was extremely dissatisfied: "Don't forget, Piltover is also an indispensable and important territory of the empire - be more restrained!"

The most different thing between Noxus and other countries is its terrifying ability to assimilate.

More than 900 years ago, it was just a small country huddled on the Lokhi Plain. 900 years later, it spanned thousands of miles and encompassed the world, with millions of troops and hundreds of millions of subjects.

Countless city-states that were defeated by Noxus were quickly integrated into the empire after being captured.

And those indigenous residents who originally hated the empire can be transformed into the purest Noxian citizens in just two generations.

All this is because the empire never treats its newly occupied land as a colony and exploits it, but while exploiting it, it also regards it as its own local cultivation and construction.

Therefore, Noxus' territory will become larger and larger, its talents will become more and more abundant, and its national strength will become stronger and stronger.

"Noxus should treat all new entrants equally. This is the foundation of the Empire's strength!"

"Amystan, you only want to plunder but don't want to build. You don't even want to contribute to maintaining the most basic economic order - you are basically helping the Wind Leader to seize Pi City!"

Swain was an outspoken critic.

He was actually a little annoyed.

The enemy is ahead and does not want to actively prepare for war, stabilize people's hearts, or maintain order. It only wants to desperately get money into its own pockets before the building collapses.

How can we run an empire well with such insects?

But Amystan smiled and replied: "General Swain, your criticism is so right!"

"I also think that I am not capable of governing Pi City. Please explain the situation to His Majesty for me and transfer me out of here as soon as possible."

Swain: "..."

Yes, that's what it's like - being a moth with no shame, taking the lead when it's beneficial, and turning a thousand miles away when there's danger.

This was why he hated the old aristocracy.

Swain finally gave Amystan a cold look and ignored it.

He continued to look at the scenery outside the window in silence.

But the scenery outside the window is much the same, it's just a ruin, and it's not interesting to see too much.

There were still a few minutes' drive from Zaun, so Swain simply took out a pamphlet from his pocket and read it to pass the time.

"This..." Amy's eyes narrowed.

Because she clearly saw that the book Swain was reading was "A Brief Introduction to Janna's Thoughts" written by Levi.

"Do you also read Wind Leader's books?"

"It never hurts to know more about the enemy." Swain replied calmly.

"But there are some contents on it that are very sensitive." Amistan said in a subtle tone.

Swain did not shy away from it at all: "You mean the article "Why Noxus Fights" and "Who Can Save Noxus"?"

These two articles are fine for ordinary people, but they are too sensitive for Swain.

Because Livy made a prophecy in those two articles:

He predicted that with the defeat of the war and the accumulation of conflicts, sooner or later a bloody coup led by the new military nobles would break out within Noxus and target the old nobles.

So, here comes the question...

Who are the current faction representatives of the new military aristocracy within the empire? Swain.

These two articles are simply predicting that Swain will rebel in the future.

"Huh." Swain didn't explain, but just laughed indifferently: "Amistan, Levi's prediction may come true. But the protagonist of that prediction will definitely not be me."

"..." Amystan glanced at Swain's old and sickly face and couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Indeed... Swain is already half-stepping into the coffin, so he may not be able to handle such a big thing.

"And Levi also said it in his article." Swain raised the pamphlet again: "Even if the upstart coup succeeds, they will not be able to save Noxus."

"The only ones who can save Noxus are the Windleaders, and only the thousands of mortals armed with Janna's thoughts."

This last sentence was not written in the original text. It was an answer that Swain came up with on his own.

But this startled Amystan: "You, how could you say such a thing..."

Noxus has always been a world for the extraordinary and the strong. When will it be the turn of the mortals and the weak to save it?

The words coming out of Swain's mouth were simply more terrifying than him saying "I want to rebel."

Wouldn't this old man have a seizure and run to join Janna?

Amystan's face was full of horror.

"Don't worry." Swain only glanced at her coldly: "I'm not so stupid that I don't even know where my butt is sitting."

"The more correct the Windleader's theories are, the more dangerous they become to the Empire."

As he spoke, Swain's eyes fell solemnly back to the "A Brief Introduction to Janna's Thoughts".

After understanding Janna's thoughts, smart people generally have two reactions - either extremely disgusted or extremely sympathetic.

Swain is special.

His brain strongly agrees with the leader's theory, but his butt strongly disagrees.

Because he is the representative of the new military aristocracy of the empire, his base is his disciples, former officials, subordinates in the military, and the new generation of generals who call him their teacher.

Facing the old aristocrats of the empire, he and his students were progressive and outstanding.

But for the leaders...I'm sorry, both the new aristocracy and the old aristocracy are reactionary and backward privileged classes, and they should be swept into the garbage dump of history.

The mortal masses armed with Janna's thoughts are the real protagonists of the future world.

Levi didn't say this directly in the article, but Swain understood it.

It was precisely after understanding this that he was extremely wary of the leader.

"I can't stand with them, absolutely not." Swain seemed to be expressing his stance to Amystan, but also seemed to be feeling helpless to himself:

He does agree with the leader's theory.

But if he really sided with the Leader, he would have to break with his past.

Those student subordinates who admired him and followed him would definitely turn against him and make peace with the old nobles of the empire.

By then, he would have to face not just Darkwill and the Black Rose, but the entire new and old noble alliances—that is, the entire Noxus Empire.

So isn't this equivalent to betraying his motherland?

In particular, Swain still doesn't know how ambitious the leader is.

If these Zaunians really succeeded in controlling Noxus, then in a sense, would Noxus be...

The country is subjugated?

These two words were like a drop of wind oil, deeply piercing Swain's nerves.

Unknowingly, he pinched the pamphlet in his hand and said, "No, I will never allow them to do this!"
