Arthur looked to Noxus direction. He sighed
" They are too strong. Even with champions we lost too many."
Suddenly one voice came behind him
" Indeed. Noxus champions and soldiers are too strong for Ionia but I know we will win."
Arthur looked back
" Who are you again?"
Man said with deep voice
" Zed. I am one protectors of Ionia."
Arthur nodded
" So do you have any idea to force them back?"
Zed shook his head
" Unfortunately I don't have any such a idea."
Arthur sighed
" We can't win against number right."
Zed looked to Noxus
" Quantity over quality. They broke the balance and they have too many elite soldiers. Even Ionian champions cannot win against their sheer number."
Arthur gazed sharply to Noxus side
" Do we have no choice?"
Zed pondered
" If I control ancient power, maybe we might."
Arthur looked to Zed
" Are you sure?"
Zed nodded
" I have 70%."
Arthur didn't know who was this but he knows this man has sign same us Kennen. So he trusted him.
" I believe in you because my friend is part of your organization."
Zed looked to Kennen
" I know and I understand your uncertainty."
Arthur smiled
" Good. I have to believe in my allies right."
Zed left after hearing him. Arthur deeply looked to his direction.
" He is a very honest man. At least he has heart to protect his allies."
1 hour later
Deep sadness filled entire battlefield. In this battle Ionia has lost too many. Irelia picked up the pendant from corpse. She looked to her allies
" We lost too many."
Many soldiers lowered their heads, even champions lowered their gaze. They clenched their fists while someone hold their weapons tighter. Their heart felt immense rage and despair. They heard their allies crying.
Irelia looked to her people once again
" But we did this for our home, Ionia. We fought for our glory. I admit we lost many but we gained many too. We are united now, every champions and soldiers share their own blood to this place."
All of them looked to her. Their eyes showed deep determination. They hold their weapons high. They shouts together
" For Ionia."
Every champions smiled, they saw people's determination. Arthur holds up his sword
" For peace."
All champions shouts same time
" For peace."
Their weapon shone brightly in battlefield. Soldiers were encouraged to see their heroes spirit.
Another hour later
Battlefield was cleaned up. Irelia and other champions sat on their seats. Ahri was first to talk.
" If Noxus brings their reinforcement, this fight will be our loss."
Irelia nodded
" Before that we must solve their champions."
Monk named Lee Sin sighed
" But it is too hard. We need more force to do that."
Swordsman named Yasou also agreed
" Yes we need reinforcement. Even our best can't fight against entire army of elites."
Arthur knocked on table
" I believe there are few champions missing here and they told me to get reinforcement from their respective organizations or powers."
Irelia's eyes lit up
" Then you mean there will be more powers that will help us."
Arthur smiled
" Targon, Bilgewater and Yordles will help you. I promise on their behalf."
Ahri asked
" Are you sure they will agree?"
Arthur nodded
" Targon's two aspects are here. I saw them by my own eyes. As for Bilgewater I have a few friends there and yordles are my companions."
Ahri sighed with relief
" I understand. Thank you."
Yasou said lightly
" So where are we gonna fight against their champions?"
Lee Sin also nodded
" I also have same question."
Ahri looked to map and pointed to forest.
" Here. This place is suitable for us. Most of our people should have knowledge about this area."
Irelia looked to map
" This place is indeed suitable for us but some of us can't go there. After all someone has to protect our base."
Arthur looked to champions
" Lee Sin and Yasou should stay here. Irelia you also stay. You are the leader while Lee Sin and Yasou are more suited to open battlefield."
Ahri also nodded
" I think same as him."
Yasou shrugs his shoulders
" Them we will stay."
Arthur looked area
" I think Ahri is suited for this place. She has high mobility in forest."
Ahri sighed
" I will bait them. But you have to give me a partner with high defense."
Arthur nodded
" That is no problem. I will ask Targon people for help."
