With the independence of the Iron Thorn Kingdom, the first problem arose - no one bought the kingdom's dark iron ore.
In the past, dark iron ore was the official military supply of Noxus. The Noxus Empire took all the dark iron ore mined in Fort Diver. But now with the independence of the Iron Thorn Kingdom, the local
People were embarrassed to find that no one wanted their ore.
The unsaleable black iron ore directly affected the economy of the newly established Iron Thorn Kingdom. In order to find a way out for the black iron ore, Varrokan even tried to launch "his own northern trade."
They didn't know where they heard some "experience" from Demacia's northern trade, and applied it to the Ironthorn Kingdom.
Demacia's northern trade trades with the Freljords and trades with the Ionians.
Then we can do it too!
To the north are the Freljords, and to the east are Ionia across the sea. As long as the trade route is opened up, black iron, which in the past could only be exchanged for black bread from Noxus, will be obtained from trade.
In exchange for gold!
With this beautiful idea in mind, Varrokan started the northern trade reform in the year of independence.
However, the Freljord people in the north of the Ironthorn Kingdom are not the Avarosa tribe, but a group of raider tribes - engaged in trade in the north? Who can they rob and trade with you?
Fortunately, the defenses left by the Noxians were still strong. Under the threat of the raiders, the Iron Thorn Kingdom suffered little loss. After several attacks on the Diver Fort to no avail, the raiders simply transferred their troops.
The front began to fight internally. In this case, they finally tried to take out some things they thought were unimportant, hoping to exchange some black iron weapons and equipment with Fort Diver.
Varrokan, who sensed that there was success in trade in the north, offered a very favorable price and waited happily for the tribes to be beaten to a bloody head, and then he had to increase purchases from himself.
However, the development of things deviated from the direction he expected from the beginning.
Due to the Breath of Anivia and the abnormal concentration of elements in the Freljord, the lifespan of black iron, which is strong and reliable elsewhere, has been drastically reduced in the Freljord. Although it is still better than ordinary steel, it can last for a year and a half.
There is no problem, but it still seriously affects sales.
The raiders who didn't like to do business quickly gave up on these troublesome black irons, and the trade process in the north was interrupted.
The cessation of trade in the north is not a desperate situation. For the Ironthorn Kingdom, they still have the possibility of Ionia trade - Varrokan's envoy also arrived in Ionia at this time and hopes to carry out trade.
In order to close the relationship, the envoys of the Ironthorn Kingdom tried to package themselves as a role of "bringing order to chaos". In their view, Noxus invaded Ionia, so the two sides were hostile, and the Ironthorn Kingdom never
If Texas becomes independent, it proves that we can be each other's allies.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend!
Since we are friends, there is no problem in carrying out some mutually beneficial trade with each other!
However, they were completely unaware that this way of thinking would not work in Ionia - by the time they arrived in Ionia, Irelia had resigned and the conservatives had taken power.
Although these guys will clap their hands and watch the Noxus Empire die, they will not further intervene in the disputes or even actively participate in the process of dismembering the Noxus Empire. For them, any drastic move is
It may be to provide assistance to Shadow Stream and radical civilian organizations such as the Navoli Brotherhood.
Therefore, at this time, the main trend in Ionia is "peace, not war".
It even goes a step further: "Love, don't fight."
Under this situation, the envoys of the Iron Thorn Kingdom lobbied in many ways, but most of Ionia had no intention of increasing their military armaments and regaining Weili.
In desperation, the envoy tried to contact Shadow Stream to see if this organization could buy some black iron.
Shadow Stream is still actively preparing for war, and is even ready for a civil war, but to them, the Black Iron thing... is meaningless.
As we all know, the main members of Shadow Stream are a group of assassins and shadow casters.
The Navoli Brotherhood is a military organization based mainly on militia and skirmishers.
Neither Shadow Stream nor the Brotherhood of Navoli have the idea or need to form heavy infantry, and black iron is not convenient for casting light weapons. It is generally used to forge heavy armor or heavy weapons in Noxus.
…
Therefore, although Shadow Stream and the Navoli Brotherhood have a good attitude and are willing to cooperate with the Iron Thorn Kingdom, it is a pity that there is no scope or room for cooperation between the two parties.
Moreover, Varrokan has never been able to open up the shipping link from Dredge Fort to Ionia - under the premise that Bilgewater has a complete monopoly on Ionia's shipping trade, even if they want to engage in trade
, and you can only rent Bilgewater boats.
Sarah won't give Ironthorn Kingdom a discount!
In the end, the messenger sadly returned to Dredge Keep, announcing the failure of Ionia's trade development.
The failure of trade in the north, coupled with the failure of trade in Ionia, brought the economy of Fort Nuver to the brink of collapse. With the arrival of autumn that year, there were even problems with their food supplies - although they could get food from the black
The Forest Federation imports food, but Tukgul, where the Black Forest Federation is located, is not a food-producing area. Food must also be imported from the Principality of Valoran!
The imported grain was not cheap in the first place, but after changing hands several times, when it arrived at Fort Diver, the price had reached an unaffordable level.
It happened that at this time, black iron ore and black iron products were unsalable, and the income of miners and blacksmiths also dropped sharply.
Under the influence of the two factors, the residents of the Iron Thorn Kingdom who could at least eat black bread found themselves in despair. Why did they not have enough to eat after the kingdom became independent?
Of course, if things stop here, they can blame the Noxus Empire. After all, it was Noxus that eliminated the Iron Thorn Kingdom's ability to take care of itself and completely transformed it into a giant fortress and a large mine.
Field, a forge that never goes out.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If you can persist in independent struggle and endure hunger, the Iron Thorn Kingdom may not be able to develop agriculture again.
However, the common people of the Iron Thorn Kingdom can tolerate it, but Varrokan cannot.
Now that they have become kings and have restored their former glory, why can't they show off?
In this time of economic downturn, Varrocan and many members of the Varrocan family have invariably improved their living conditions, and even mobilized civilians in the winter to build themselves a "palace worthy of their status" that would "be able to
On par with the Immortal Fortress”.
This series of saucy operations directly brought the reputation of the Varrokan family to the bottom, triggering endless anger among the people of the Ironthorn Kingdom - in the winter of hunger and cold, they felt shamefully deceived.
Although the Noxians were urging the miners and blacksmiths to work, at least they could eat enough black bread and the whole family was not in danger of freezing or starving.
But now that the Iron Thorn Kingdom is independent, we are starving, and only the Varrokan family has begun to show off...
The dissatisfaction of the people is visible to the naked eye, but the Varrocan family in Fort Diver, which has the only regular army in the area, is not panicked - in their view, no matter how unhappy those mud-legged people are, they can't do anything.
However, at this time, the Black Forest Federation in Turkgol nearby was persuaded to surrender by the Noxians, changed the Noxian flag again, and transformed back into the Noxian Dominion...
The horned brothers surrendered, and the Iron Thorn Kingdom's only food import channel was gone. This time Varrokan finally panicked.
After becoming ill and seeking medical attention, he even began to pray to the Frost Witch of Freljord - he knew very well that there was nothing the people of Delver could do to him if they didn't have enough to eat, but if they didn't have anything to eat, then the people of Delver would
The fort really turned into a powder keg.
It was under this circumstance that Lissandra connected to Valrocan's dream.
After learning about the situation at Dredge Fort through her dreams, Lissandra quickly gained a clear understanding of the Ironthorn Kingdom.
It's hopeless. Destroy it quickly.
I originally thought of contacting the Iron Thorn Kingdom, but now it seems that this kingdom, which is bound to die, might as well be used as a bargaining chip in the deal with the Noxians...
Although Demacia and Noxus have restored peaceful relations, Noxus wouldn't mind giving Demacia a little surprise if given a chance, right?
Thinking like this, a complete plan began to take shape in Lissandra's mind.
