On the other side, Jarvan IV asked about Ted's situation and learned that all the soldiers who stayed behind to provide cover were killed. He was filled with tears and grief.
Especially Ted's broken arm and the injuries all over his body from torture made him extremely heartbroken.
Li Lin injected Ted with a glimmer potion, and Jarvan IV asked Alberk and several shield soldiers to escort him out of the village and take good care of his injuries.
Then, with anger burning in Jarvan IV's eyes, he turned his gaze back to Noxus, only to find that something seemed to have happened on the other side.
"Where are the Prescotts?" he asked, frowning.
"He just chased the lady next to him into the house, but judging from the behavior of those soldiers, there must be a commotion inside." Paldek replied.
Jarvan IV looked at Li Lin and asked, "Did you take the picture with your drone?"
Since the clothes did not transform into armor, he actually didn't know what was going on inside.
However, the drone was always in "optical camouflage" mode and on standby there, so it naturally captured the scene of Prescott and the pale lady in the house.
Li Lin nodded, lowered his right arm slightly, and the material of the clothes on his forearm turned into a projection device, projecting the image under the shield wall as high as a person.
Seeing what happened in the 3D image, Li Lin, Jarvan IV, Shyvana and Paldek fell silent.
Soon, Shyvana looked at Jarvan IV and broke the silence: "That woman, I sensed her danger before."
"That's the Pale Lady." This time, Jarvan IV spoke first before Li Lin could remind him. "Legend has it that her skin is completely bloodless, and she possesses a thousand different features. No one has ever known her true appearance."
He took a breath, still shocked at the magic that could make someone disappear out of thin air. "But judging from this picture, her abilities seem to be more than just this."
"Space teleportation... Is this arcane magic?" Paldek asked doubtfully.
"It has nothing to do with arcane spatial magic." Li Lin's words drew surprised glances from the three. "Piltover controls Hextech, which uses technology to control magic. Hextech Flygates utilize the principles of arcane teleportation. I'm very familiar with this."
"Hexgate... I've heard of it. Whitecliff City, at the southern end of the Silver Mountains, built a tower there." Jarvan IV nodded. "This technology allows for ultra-long-distance teleportation, making it very convenient for transporting goods."
"My mechanical troops also use this teleportation principle, but the cost is higher than the Hexgate that serves as the teleportation 'anchor point'."
Li Lin continued to explain, "Through my research on arcane magic, I found that the Pale Lady's disappearance had nothing to do with teleportation. It was more like a mirror spell."
Because of the support of Jarvan IV, Paldek and the Fearless Vanguard soldiers who heard these remarks chose to ignore them and pretended not to hear Li Lin's remarks about "researching magic".
Jarvan IV was confused. "Mirror image?"
"This is a long-lost ancient Shurima trick, commonly known as black magic or black sorcery in Valoran. It can project a mirror image of oneself, and even death will not affect the original body."
"this……"
Jarvan IV, Shyvana and Paldek looked at each other. This was the first time they had heard of such strange magic.
"Could it be that this noblewoman is the Pale Lady's mirror image?" Jarvan IV asked with a frown. "Can she transform into anyone?"
Suddenly, Paldek's eyes widened, as if he had suddenly realized something. "So they want to capture you, Your Highness... Could it be that they want to transform into your appearance, sneak into the Dawn Castle in Xiongdu, and assassinate His Majesty the King?"
Li Lin was stunned when he heard Paldek's guess.
Wow, I didn’t expect that even though we have come to a real different world, there are still people who think this way?
However, in the original world line, Jarvan IV was not caught. If he was caught, it would be hard to say.
Of course, even if LeBlanc really pretended to be Jarvan IV as in the fan fiction, she could not enter the Demacia capital built of forbidden magic stone.
Her dark magic is not as powerful as Ryze's, and the magic stone will make her mirror magic ineffective.
The next second, Jarvan IV's words confirmed Li Lin's thoughts: "I can't rule out this possibility, but pretending to be me to assassinate my father is nonsense. Her magic can't be effective in Xiongdu.
"Unless she can trick my father out of Xiongdu... But that's impossible. My father will definitely find out."
Jarvan IV snorted disdainfully.
"Since that... Pale Lady has left, should we proceed as planned and capture these Noxians in one fell swoop?" suggested Paldek.
He has just taken office not long ago and is in need of military achievements. The Black Rose and Noxus can be said to be "giving a pillow to someone when he is sleepy" this time.
"Their agreement only involves exchanging prisoners, but it doesn't mention their safe departure from Demacia." Jarvan IV said with a smile, "Li Lin, how are things going over there?"
"My mechanical troops are already in place. They can't escape."
"Okay then."
Jarvan IV looked around as the surrounding Dreadnoughts issued orders: "Whoever offends our German nation will be punished, no matter how far away! All troops, follow me to crush the enemy!"
…
…
The outcome of this battle is obvious.
A mere 50 fully armed Noxian ordinary warband soldiers and 30 newly released, weak and unarmed prisoners of war were basically powerless against the Fearless Vanguard Legion.
Under the coordinated attack of only two shield formations and 16 elite warriors, the 50 Noxian soldiers without command almost collapsed in an instant and fled in all directions.
