Irelia is a top-notch leader - she is passionate, self-denying, determined, and takes the lead in battle, treating everyone equally...... If she had any shortcomings, it would be inexperience.

As Irelia's opponent, Takeda Saito spent a lot of effort and bit by bit analyzed her personality, and finally came to this conclusion.

So, Takeda Saito made a fuss about the lack of experience.

Considering that Karma, who carries the wisdom of the Ionian sages, can perfectly make up for this, Takeda simply spent a lot of effort to sow and expand the contradiction between the Vastaya and the Shadow Stream, so that the two sides are in a mess in the north of Navoli, and the human brain is beaten into a dog's brain, which completes the diversion of the tiger from the mountain.

When Karma left Presidium to mediate the fighting, there was no one here to stop Takeda from continuing his plans.

And things are really going in the direction that Takeda wants.

Faced with the difficulty of giving a perfect solution to the conflict she had deliberately created, the elders and monks in the same camp as her naturally took advantage of the situation and began to persuade Irelia to "hand over power temporarily" and "hand over these troubles to the elders".

These words are high-sounding, but in fact they are murderous, and once Irelia rarely regresses according to her words, then Takeda will stop doing things as soon as possible, and then everyone will think that Irelia's lack of ability has led to the dissatisfaction of the people - otherwise, you can see why the incident quickly subsided when the elders were in power?

Because of Irelia's meritorious service and Takeda's lack of strength, he never thought of a head-on confrontation - in this case, rumors and hearts are the best soft knives to kill without blood.

As long as Irelia is ousted, Takeda can guarantee that no one can be his opponent - everyone has no military merits, all look at the means, whose means can be stronger than themselves?

It's not that Takeda is welcome, in his opinion, one of these old-fashioned elders and monks in Ionia is counted as one, and they are all happy!

And the whole thing is indeed going according to Takeda's expectations.

Irelia didn't accede to the Elder's request, but she hesitated.

Hesitation is opportunity.

The next day, a new message spread in Presidium - there were all sorts of gossip with noses and eyes, but there was only one core, and that was "Irelia can't solve the current problem, but refuses to hand over power and let someone who can solve it do." ”

When the words reached Irelia's ears, the blade dancer suddenly felt the urge to cry - she asked herself conscientiously, she had never hesitated for the sake of Ionia, but now she was inexplicably saddled with the cauldron of "power love", and even began to have the most malicious interpretation of everything in her past......

The blow was extremely fatal for Irelia.

The Blade Dancer never hesitated to face his enemies, but now the rumored soft knife came from the Ionian people he had done his best to protect, and it sent Irelia into a terrible malaise.

That day, when the elders and monks tried to persuade her to surrender again, Irelia closed her door and did not give any response.

Upon learning about this, Saito's hands and feet began to tremble with excitement, and he tried hard to calm himself down, but in the end he couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahahahaha." Takeda, who doesn't drink much on weekdays, shuddered and poured himself a glass of the finest brandy from Demacia, then laughed and drank it down, letting the wine flow into a runoff in his jaw, "A hero who fought for the land of the newborn?" The warriors who defeated Noxus? ”

"You're strong, aren't you?"

"You're good at fighting, aren't you?"

"But so what?"

"In the face of true wisdom, your brute strength is as good as the order that the old stubborn observes...... Nothing! ”

Brandy drank a little hurriedly, and with a powerful burp, the strong wine rose, and in a trance Takeda seemed to return to his childhood, when his father took him to visit various sects, hoping to make himself a powerful hero.

But the high-ranking guys, no matter how much their father prayed, looked at themselves and said that they were "not talented."

Don't have talent?

Hehe- that's blind!

I, Takeda Saito, just want you to know who the untalented trash is!

It's not me, it's you!

I've been away from home for twenty years, wandering at sea, fighting bloody battles in the mines, and now I'm finally back, back to Ionia, and now I'm going to tell you what true talent is!

You think you can afford to fight?

As a matter of fact...... That's not dog X at all!

Shadow stream is amazing? Vastaya is powerful?

Isn't it in my plan, obediently mingling and becoming my stepping stone?

Karma has the wisdom of the sages?

I'm going to lead you by the nose, I don't want you to be in Presidium, you don't want to be here!

Irelia is brave and invincible?

Now I can only be a little girl who cries behind closed doors!

In the secret room, where there was no one but himself, the more Takeda thought about it, the more excited he became, and he lit dozens of whale oil waxes and raised his wine glass as if he were crazy.

Years of forbearance, years of investment, he is for now!

At this moment, Saito Takeda is enjoying this happiness immensely, this joy of playing with countless people who are stronger than himself in applause!

Takeda has already figured out that as long as he has the power of Ionia, the next thing is to go to Bilgewater for trouble, all those who have offended him in the past will have to pay for it, and no one will be able to escape!

Overexcited, Takeda poured the brandy into his stomach cup after cup, and under the influence of alcohol, his consciousness began to blur, his mind gradually became numb, and his perception gradually lost - in a trance, he seemed to see a somewhat familiar figure appear in front of him without warning, and then ...... Give yourself a slap in the face?

"You...... How dare you?! With a final realization, Takeda raised his tone and said angrily, "I am...... King of Ionia, Emperor of Ionia—you, what are you? ”

Then, before the other party could answer, Takeda completely lost his consciousness, tilted his head, and fell asleep.

The next moment, Takeda disappeared into the tomb, and in the huge secret room, only the burning whale oil candles and the brandy that had been knocked to the ground were left.
