In a sense, Takeda Saito is also one of the initiators of the entire war (especially in the eyes of other alchemy barons).

If you hadn't stirred on Noxus to say that Noxus was weak, would this series of things happen?

In fact, Takeda himself can't say it, he just hoped that the trouble would lead to the east, who would have thought that things would be so big?

However, Takeda did not get all the bad news, and there was good news - for example, Ionia replied.

For Takeda's sake of catching Urgat, what awaits Takeda will be a big reward, although the letter does not say it explicitly, but Takeda believes that after returning to Ionia, he will become a real power!

In this case, Takeda took the opportunity to focus on other alchemy barons.

What if you bring them to Ionia?

Does it mean that you can have your own power in Ionia?

Ionia, which had been invaded by Noxus, was now in ruins, and its politics were countless times more chaotic than Noxus - in Takeda's view, Ionia needed a strong leader!

And not some spiritual teacher who speaks "Saanza" all day long, the ancient Shurima language.

Takeda himself, strong enough.

It was with this in mind that Takeda made his promise to the alchemy barons that you had a new choice, to follow me to Ionia.

Interestingly, for these alchemy barons, going to Ionia was the best option!

Don't look at Noxus to accept these people, but in Noxus, they are just a flock of fat sheep.

But in Ionia it was completely different - Takeda, who wanted to rely on them, would definitely protect them well, even if their alchemical poison gas had brought heavy disaster to Ionia!

Tacitly, the alchemy barons began to loot Zaun's last resources.

If the civilian casualties inflicted by the Noxians were the aftermath of the war, the actions of the Alchemy Barons now are open fire and robbery.

At this moment, the alchemy baron tore off his last disguise and exposed his most frustrating side!

In addition to the necessary, bluffing guys, the alchemy barons at the same time withdrew a large number of thugs.

A large number of thugs swept through the neighborhoods of Lower Zaun, taking away all the alchemical products and money they could take with them - not even a single copper hex was left.

And if the poor Zaun civilians dare to resist a little, a massacre awaits them!

At this moment, Zaun finally became a real hell.

And this madness has apparently provoked revolt.

It's not just the unwillingness of the common people to resist - many thugs with a conscience have also begun to rebel against the alchemy baron!

The final madness of this group of alchemy barons has finally completely ignited the anger of the Zaun people!

When they were exploited, the Zaun endured – because they still had their families.

When they were plundered, the Zaun endured - because they still wanted to live.

But now, unable to even survive, the Zuan people finally began to resist.

After the initial disintegration, Rhodes soon gained the leadership of the rebels with Ike's help - the rebel structure with Zaun Mi Tong as the backbone quickly took shape, and began a counterattack against the plunder and massacre of the Alchemy Baron.

At the same time, the belief in Jana became popular again in Zaun.

In the deserted streets of Shangzuan, every house has hung wind chimes representing Cana.

Zack's reconnaissance and Tucci's assassination have also stopped.

Under Rhodes' careful arrangement, the entire organization used darkness to light, completed the transformation from a cabal to a political force, and even won the support of a large number of Za'an people.

In this case, the alchemy barons had to stop their plundering.

On the one hand, because the resistance encountered is getting stronger and stronger, and continuing to plunder will outweigh the losses; On the other hand, the statue of Naga Kapoulos has been completed.

And what these alchemy barons didn't know was that it was at this time that Britz had also completed the activation of all of Zaun's machinery.

……………………

It's early morning again – the sea fog is much thicker today than usual.

After countless Zaun miners worked day and night, a huge statue made of Hex crystal and granite was finally completed.

In a sense, this thing can be called ugly.

The "face" that can't be seen clearly, the countless twisted tentacles, the uneven epidermis, and the uncoordinated body......

For the vast majority of faiths, it is a blasphemy to use such statues as idols......

But for Naga Kapoulos, this was not a problem.

This deity never cared about his appearance—because He was so ugly......

Today is the day of Naga Kapoulos coming to Zuan.

Aloi will help his gods infuse the statue with divine powers, create a temporarily usable clone, reveal his power to Zaun, and then force the Zaun to make their own choice - believe or be crushed.

Crazy and cruel, that's the style of Naga Kapoulos.

As if sensing the completion of the statue, the alchemy barons of Zaun rarely went out to scavenge the land, but re-encircled the Hook Mine.

What if the advent fails?

And according to Takeda, Ionia will send people who ignore space to help them leave, so it's the same wherever they wait.

"Don't worry, the people who have come are more powerful than you think, and even if that god is angry, it won't hurt you a single hair."

It's rare to see such a thing from God!

Anyway, they all got on the thief ship, and the alchemy barons no longer twisted, so they simply sacrificed their lives to accompany the gentleman and follow Takeda to see the arrival of this god.

It's not just the alchemy baron who is watching all this.

With the help of Zack, Rhodes teleported to the vicinity of the Sinking Hook Mine.

For Rod, the strength of Naga Kapolos's clone directly determines the next strategy - whether to call Gana Gang head-on, or continue to develop obscenely to find foreign help.

Well, there is no foreign aid anymore......

Shaking his head, no longer thinking about what he had or didn't have, Rhodes looked at the ugly statue from afar with the help of his binoculars.

As Rhodes looked at the statue, Aloy took the small idol he had used as a weapon and climbed to the top of the statue.

Battle Briefing:

During the siege of the Sinking Hook Pit, the thugs of the Alchemy Baron tried many attacks, but to no avail.

Rhodes continued to help Jana expand her influence, and began to systematically help the Zaun people come up with a program of how to resist.

The Alchemy Barons came to an agreement to abandon Zaun and go to Ionia, in which case they decided to get a big one before leaving.

Britz completed the activation task of the intelligent robot.

The statue of Naga Kapoulos is completed.
