Swain's gaze became even more cold and ruthless, and he slowly said, "If we accept the inference just now, that the Lissandra who appeared in the city is not the real Lissandra, then we must face a more serious problem. That is, this so-called Lissandra is likely an illusion created by someone or some organization."
He paused for a moment, letting this important information reverberate in the legislature hall, and then continued, "This means that our city, and possibly even the entire Noxus Empire, may harbor the influence of enemies or traitors. These individuals may have infiltrated our political, military, and even intelligence systems."
Swain's words made the atmosphere in the entire hall even heavier. Everyone realized that this was not just a simple war or attack, but a matter that could involve the security and stability of the empire.
Talon stood up, his figure appearing particularly mysterious in the light of the legislature hall. His gaze was sharp, as if he could see through all conspiracies and lies.
"If what Lord Swain said is true, then this matter is far more serious than we imagined," Talon's voice was low and firm. "In this situation, I will immediately launch an investigation in the city. Whether it's the enemy's forces or internal traitors, I believe there will always be some clues or evidence that will come to light."
He glanced at Draven, seemingly silently assuring him that he would handle this matter properly. "I will use all of my resources and means to uncover the truth behind all of this."
Talon's words slightly eased the atmosphere in the council chamber. At least they knew that a professional would handle the matter, rather than letting it deteriorate further. Draven also felt a hint of comfort in this, knowing that Talon was an extremely capable assassin. If anyone could uncover the truth, it would be him.
Swain picked up the crumpled flyer again, this time his gaze was as sharp as a knife, focusing on every pixel of the photo. His brows furrowed tightly, as if he had seen some details in the photo that shouldn't exist.
"The rendering traces on this photo are very unique," Swain said slowly, his voice filled with seriousness and weight, "This advanced image rendering technique can only be achieved with a specific and expensive machine in the city of Piltover. The price of this machine is very high, and ordinary citizens or small vendors definitely cannot afford it. This gives us a very important clue, and also suggests that there may be a larger conspiracy and higher resource investment behind this incident."
Swain put down the flyer, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, finally stopping at Talon's face. "Talon, I believe you need to go to Piltover city immediately for a thorough investigation. We need to identify the people capable of purchasing this machine and determine if they may be involved in this incident. This could be the key to finding the truth."
Talon nodded, his face showing a cold and determined expression. "Understood, I will take immediate action and find these clues as quickly as possible."
Katarina asked sharply at this time, "What about the advance team? We need to dispatch reinforcements immediately or gather information, no matter what, we..."
Swain stood up, propping up the table with both hands. His expression was extremely serious, especially his red arm known as the "demon's hand," which seemed to grow darker with his anger, as if it could release deadly energy at any moment.
" Katarina, do you think I don't want to send a vanguard to the northern front?" Swain's voice was deep and oppressive, each word seemed to be squeezed out of his mouth, "But we can't act recklessly, otherwise we might make the situation worse. We need more information, more accurate intelligence, to make the right judgment."
Katarina Bit her lip, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction and anxiety, but she also knew that at this critical moment, acting rashly could bring unpredictable consequences.
Swain Slowly sat back in his seat, took a deep breath, and continued, "Keeping calm is truly the best way for the Empire. Have you thought about what the people, nobles, and the army would think if a vanguard were sent out at this time? The matter of the flyers and the threat from the North is already fermenting on the streets, and soon the whole country will know."
He paused, letting his words sink in: "What would be the outcome if we hastily dispatched a vanguard? Firstly, it would make everyone think that the empire has descended into chaos, losing control. Secondly, such an action would let the enemy know about our internal panic, giving them more opportunities. Finally, if anything unexpected happened to the vanguard, it would be a disaster, not only causing a loss of valuable manpower and resources, but also severely damaging the morale of the empire."
Swain's words plunged the entire legislature hall into silence. Everyone was deep in thought; Swain's analysis was undoubtedly calm and rational, exactly what they needed at this moment.
"Therefore, we must remain calm and make wise decisions."
Swain stood up straight, his gaze sweeping across the entire legislature hall, finally resting on the faces of Draven and Katarina. He took a deep breath and began to speak:
"For the missing incident of General Darius, I believe we need to take a more cautious and secretive course of action. I suggest dispatching a special operations team, keeping it absolutely confidential, to investigate the frontlines of the North. This is not only to find General Darius, but also to understand the actual situation at the northern front, so that we can make a more comprehensive and accurate judgment."
He paused for a moment, letting his words sink in, and then continued:
"Once we find Darius, we will decide our next actions based on the actual situation. If he is captured, we will do everything to rescue him; if he is missing for other reasons, we will ensure his safe return. But in any case, all of this must be carried out in absolute secrecy."
Swain's gaze became sharper, and his voice became more resolute:
"We cannot let the enemy see our weaknesses, nor can we let our citizens fall into panic. This is a test, as well as an opportunity, for us to prove the strength and unity of Noxus. We must execute this mission with the highest vigilance and the strictest secrecy measures. Any mistake could lead to a heavy price for us."
He added at the end:
"This is also why I emphasize that this operation must be kept confidential. We cannot allow this matter to cause greater panic and chaos, especially in such a sensitive and unstable time. We must proceed with caution, while also being quick and decisive."
The entire legislature hall fell silent once again, but this time, it was a silence filled with determination and conviction. Everyone silently made their choices in their hearts, preparing to face the upcoming challenges.
