Lux's Farewell

246 0243 The impeccable Zaun

As a generation of wise generals and a former strategist leader, Swain is undoubtedly a person who is used to making decisions before moving.

Even for this extremely risky military operation against Piltover, he still prepared a large number of plans and collected countless materials-although time was tight, he still managed to contact the internal response, planned the marching route, and even It has achieved "simultaneous development of sea and land".

Unfortunately, even when the arrow is on the line, Zaun is still the biggest variable in his plan.

The war masons who were infiltrated in the past, lost their original magic in Zaun. It is difficult for these war masons disguised as workers or farmers to infiltrate Zaun. Wire.

In addition, Zaun's espionage organization is based on the war masons of Piltover, and the war masons of Piltover are typical people who live less and live more...

Therefore, the new Zaan has been established for three full years, and the war stonemasons have not yet formed any scale in Zaan. The scattered war stonemasons are only the size of two or three kittens, and there is no decent information at all. .

It is for this reason that Zaun seems to be an incompatible blank in Swain's detailed plan.

In order to include this blank space in the plan, Swain had to spend a lot of effort to formulate a series of follow-up feasible plans for Zaun, which greatly involved his energy and increased his workload.

and hairline.

"It's such an annoying place." Staring at the blank space on the map, Swain hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to speak, "Mr. Devil, isn't such a secret place enough to arouse your interest at all?" ?”

"Secrets also have gaps." Although he understood what Swain meant, Lamer didn't mean to help. "What I long for is the secret deep in the heart-not any secret can make me interested."

The demon's response was not beyond Swain's expectations, which made him snort.

Because of the butterfly effect brought by someone, the cooperation between Swain and Lamer is obviously reserved.

The two parties who are still in the running-in period don't have any trust or tacit understanding at all, and they are purely using each other - Swain has not accepted the devil's arm, and is still thinking about whether he can get an arm modified by Hex's body; The information Mosu provided was limited to the part he was interested in.

"Of course, from the perspective of a friend, maybe I can give you a little personal reminder." As if sensing Swain's dissatisfaction, Lamer reminded with his crow-like voice, "Be careful, the troubles there are far beyond Your imagination, even mine, would not be willing to get involved easily..."

Swain didn't speak.

However, for Lamer who is very familiar with him, this silence itself already represents an attitude.

The next moment, a burst of proud crows appeared in Swain's ears.

........................

After giving the assembly order, Swain closed his eyes and leaned back on his chair—but before he could completely relax, the adjutant knocked on the door.

"The dark blade is coming."

"Understood." Swain blinked, got up quickly, quickly combed the black hair that was close to the scalp with one hand a few times, and said calmly, "Let them in."

The next moment, the door was opened.

A few people wearing cloaks and hoods, like crows in the night, entered the room cautiously.

"It seems that you have already made a decision?" Swain said first, "I heard that the sea rats in Bilgewater have made a move?"

Under the hood, the faces of these people were more or less embarrassed.

"Without the backing of strong military force, trade itself is nothing but empty talk." Swain seemed to be unaware of the emotions of these people, and continued to say to himself, "Progress is precious, but it also needs to be escorted by corresponding forces .”

"Mr. Swain, Piltover has the ability to protect himself." Although the momentum was completely suppressed by Swain, the leader responded quickly, "We are here to discuss a cooperation."

"That's right, it's just a cooperation to set things right." Swain nodded, staring at the secret messenger who was still unwilling to raise his head, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate his hood and reach the depths of his heart, " After this little skirmish, Piltover will remain independent."

"There are too many guarantees for empty teeth. I think even Mr. Swain should be able to understand this, right?"

"The verbal promises are indeed pale, but the facts are irrefutable." Swain didn't care about the sarcasm in the other party's tone, and even raised the corners of his lips slightly, "This is just a necessary time to show Noxus Without a military promenade of Sri Lankan power, blocked by a towering and majestic barrier, the Noxian Empire will not send troops at great expense to maintain Piltover's rule."

It's a pity that this level of guarantee is not enough to win people's trust - the Noxus Empire's desire for land is well known, and it is impossible to count on Swain to release Piltover after occupying it. It's like a fantasy.

"Hedoram is also south of the grand barrier."

"This kind of small town that is indistinguishable from an outpost can't be used as an example—look at Uzeris." Swain stretched out his single arm and clicked on another place on the map, "As early as 12 years ago, Uzeris Reese went to the Empire, and now a full 12 years later, it's still what it used to be."

The example of Uzeris obviously moved the messengers. Instead of looking up at the map, they murmured together for a while, and then nodded.

As Swain said, even if Uzeris did hang the Noxus flag, in addition to paying part of the tax as military expenses, Uzeris is still the Uzeris he used to be.

So... the Noxians really don't have the ability to rule a merchant city thousands of miles away from the Immortal Fortress.

"Piltover is a city of progress and will always remain independent." The leading emissary repeated again, "There is no doubt about this."

"I think so too." Swain nodded, "The interests of the empire are not in a port city."

"Madame Gray is hard to deal with." The other party hesitated for a moment, and rarely said something meaningful, "Hex technology is not comparable to those primitive people in Ionia."

"But Piltover is just a city, not a country. There is only one Camille Fellowes here." Swain didn't seem to care, and called Camille by her first name, "And... isn't there another Are you?"

　Karya's Small Classroom Zaun's Grassroots Organization:
　　Because of the high population density and most people working in factories, Zaan’s grassroots organization structure is quite strict—based on material rationing, Zaun has built an unprecedented grassroots organization that reaches families and individuals.

　　This makes the infiltration of Noxian war masons difficult...
