Besilico's change of flag would have been worthy of an inconspicuous page in a Zaun or Piltover newspaper.
However, for the Noxus Empire, this rebellion was like a yellow bell ringing in their ears, causing a heart-stopping storm in the Immortal Fortress.
This is the first time the empire has encountered such a rebellion since the defeat of the Gate of Mourn and Noxus gave up its westward policy, stopped confronting Demacia head-on, and turned to develop southward.
An important port city, the mainstay of the economy, just quietly killed the commander of the garrison regiment, and then changed its flag to stand on its own. This was simply a slap in the face of Noxus!
After receiving the news, even though Darkwill's position as commander-in-chief was already on the verge of collapse, and even though the whirlpool of political struggle in the Immortal Fortress had begun to take shape, all parties quickly reached a consensus that troops and generals must be mobilized to defeat this enemy.
This rebellion was completely killed to serve as a warning to others!
It's also interesting to say.
Because Elise was severely injured by Lux in Zaun and hid for a while to recuperate, Vladimir, who was working with the Pale Lady, seized the opportunity and established a direct relationship with the Shadow Island.
Considering that the Shadow Island may have many precious magic items left during the Darkin War, Vladimir often traveled between the Immortal Fortress and the Shadow Island, trying to collect these good things.
Therefore, after the Tide of Fire, Vladimir appeared in Bilgewater by chance.
At that time, the black mist filled the air, and the Scarlet Reaper showed up on his own initiative, wanting to reach cooperation with his sect's Foyego - since we are from the same sect, why don't we join hands together?
It's a pity that Foego has no interest in cooperation or politics at all. He only has Isolde in his heart.
Vladimir, who had a hot face but a cold butt, chose to massacre the local gangs to vent his anger. As a result, he fell into the hands of Gangplank and his ghost ship Abyss, who had just been hooked up by Tam and accepted the power of the underworld.
The ammunition equipped by the Abyss is the magic high-explosive bombs prepared by Swain. Because Swain was tricked by Planck and the flagship Leviathan was taken away by Planck, these high-explosive bombs became common weapons.
Langke's trophies were assembled on the Abyss.
In this way, Vladimir was washed away by a magic high-explosive bomb. If he hadn't been strong enough to save his life, after a wave of artillery fire washed the ground, he would have been completely finished - even if he turned himself into blood in time, from the sewage flowing across the
Bilgewater finally escaped, but his severe injuries and weakness still made his personality extremely unstable.
Thus, the cooperation between Scarlet and Pale fell into the control of Lady Pale.
Compared to the impatient Vladimir, this pale lady was obviously much more patient. Even though she had decided to give up Darkwill, she still maintained superficial respect during Besilico's rebellion and did not show any concern.
At this time, take action and delay.
After all... the growth of black roses also requires sufficiently fertile soil.
Compared with Vladimir's indifference, the pale lady is better at fishing in a sustainable way.
The rulers of Noxus should not be too strong, but the empire should not decline either.
……………………
Besilico changed his banner as expected, and the Immortal Fortress dispatched troops to prepare to quell the rebellion. To the Zauan people thousands of miles away, these news seemed to have nothing to do with them.
At this time, all the attention of the Zaun people has been placed on their own new port.
Within two months, the new port was completed as scheduled.
This carefully selected port is located thirty miles outside the eastern suburbs of Zaun City. It was originally a low bay.
The bay is half-crescent in shape, opening to the northeast. The entire seafront is almost entirely made of basalt. During high tide, the average water level of the sea is about three feet from the top of the seaside. At low tide, the water level is about nine feet from the top of the seaside.
.
The tidal range of six feet is not too big. Considering that the water level in this bay is very deep and there are no annoying rocks, it can be used as a port without much underwater work.
Zaun's construction team used these low seashores as the basis, and used a batch of straight and thick timbers obtained from unknown sources as supports, like building a bridge, to build a bridge that looked large enough to park a large ship.
pier.
According to the description of Piltover Daily, this kind of pier, which is barely built using wood as the main support, is an out-and-out shoddy project.
Even though the wood used by the Zaun people is very thick, it looks very reliable, but under the erosion of the sea water, the wharf made of wood... is nothing?
It's okay to park small boats at the dock with timber supports and let people walk around for a while, but now they actually want to use this thing to handle the loading and unloading of bulk cargo?
This is simply fanciful and idiotic!
Therefore, after taking Sun Gate as an example and analyzing the various disadvantages of Zaun New Port, Piltover Daily hypocritically stated at the end that "based on humanitarian principles, Piltover has sent a rescue team to wait nearby to
To avoid the occurrence of deplorable tragedies", the curse is almost revealed.
The people of Piltover spoke so confidently, as if the dock would be ruined once it was used.
On the Zaun side, the designers and builders of the dock are full of confidence in this seemingly crude dock.
The people of Piltover didn't know what those straight, thick logs were.
But the Zaun people themselves know it!
Those woods are all rune trees - specifically, its name is Wind Whispering Fir. Back in Calican's laboratory, Lux had tested the solidity of these woods with a sword.
Unlike other rune trees that can be used as processing materials, Fengyu fir is a tree that can absorb the power of runes and strengthen itself. The trunk is strong and reliable, and after being cut into wood, it will gradually petrify over time.
It is an excellent building material.
In order to cut down these wind-whispering trees that serve as supports for the port dock, before Ino set off for Besilico, Lux and Ino took turns cutting down the trees with their swords. It took them three full days to cut down enough wood to support the port.
Lifting the entire dock's timber.
Because the rune trees were kept secret, the workers at the beginning of the construction did not believe that these woods could support the entire dock. However, as the work of cutting down branches and trimming bark began, they soon understood why the designers of the port
Have such confidence in these seemingly ordinary trees.
A team of two wood sawers use a special large saw. It takes an hour to chop down a branch as thick as a human wrist. Even cutting metal is not that difficult!
The people in Piltover next door were crazy about it in the newspapers.
