Exposing those speculators is only the first step for Cana.

Spreading faith is a very troublesome and time-consuming thing, even if Rhodes hyped it up once, and also used Li Kui to beat Li Ghost to maintain the popularity, it only shortened the process slightly.

Generating faith, and believing that can provide strength, is difficult in itself—even if the gods themselves die.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the spread of Cana's faith is not very exaggerated, and at most one-tenth of the people in the entire Black Forest region believe in her, and this belief is not as strong as that of Zaun and Piltover.

But you can't stand the crowds of the Black Forest!

Although the Black Forest is called a forest, it is actually a large area in the northwestern part of Noxus, and the territory of Noxus is the largest of the Valoran kingdoms apart from the fragmented Shurima - with the result that even if a tenth of the Black Forest people believe in Cana, the number of followers exceeds that of Piltover and Zaun.

In this case, Jana's power once again took a leap forward.

It is not known exactly what Jana feels like by Rhodes - but according to Rod's observations, Jana at this time is becoming more and more like a god in the true sense of the word.

The explosion of faith lasted for almost two months.

In the past two months, Jana has not reappeared in the limelight, and all the organization of the sect is handled by Rhodes.

It's hard and fulfilling.

For Rod, it's a really good feeling to watch Cana grow stronger step by step.

After all, sometimes I do too much thighs, and it's understandable that I want to hug my thighs in a different way......

But in the fifth month of the pair's arrival in the Black Forest, Jana was once again stuck in a bottleneck.

Throughout the Black Forest, the more well-informed people already knew and understood the Cult of the Storm Patronus.

The rest of the people who do not yet know about this sect are either relatively closed or stubborn in their adherence to tradition – both of which, in Rhodes' view, are difficult to become believers in a short period of time.

But the trouble is that Cana hasn't really become a demigod yet - if she goes to the Giant God Peak to ascend to the star and become a god now, she is still very likely to lose herself.

Now, Rhodes wanted to find a breakthrough growth point in his faith.

But the Black Forest is no longer able to meet the conditions - what to do?

That's when Jenn and Fuya found Rhodes.

……………………

"What, you've found your target?"

For five months, Rhodes had been so busy dealing with the Cult of the Storm Patronus that he had almost forgotten about his deal with the Darkwell siblings.

"That's right." Facing Rod with a surprised face, Fuya was a little cramped at this time, "We have found our target, which is some Dig Fort in the east." ”

Fort Dig ......

Rhodes struggled to remember the map of Noxus, then thought for a moment before realizing which city Fuya was talking about.

The hub of the Iron Thorn Mountains, the source of the Empire's Black Iron, the miner and the city of forges, Fort Digvao!

The fortress in the middle of the Iron Thorn Mountains is not strictly within the boundaries of the Black Forest - except that the Immortal Fortress has less control over Fort Dig than it does for Noxus.

Seeing that Rhodes seemed to remember this place, Jenn opened his mouth to explain why he had chosen this city as his target.

As we all know, Fort Dig is a very special place, this is the location of the only entrance to the Iron Thorn Mine Cave in the Iron Thorn Mountains - the Iron Thorn Mountains contain rich iron ore resources, so it is called the Iron Thorn Mountains, but except for the area where Fort Dig is located, the iron ore in other places is buried deep and difficult to find.

In addition, the Iron Thorn Mountain Range itself is a high mountain in the north, so although everyone knows that there is black iron here, it cannot be mined normally anywhere except Fort Digwo.

The Noxian Empire has not been without attempts, and many professional prospecting teams have been stationed in the Iron Spike Mountains - but the results have not been promising.

The proven location of the iron ore is either too deep and extremely difficult to mine, or it is located in the territory of Freljord, at the northern foot of the Iron Thorn Mountains, or the surface environment is complex......

In search of a second important source of black iron, generations of prospectors of the Noxian Empire have focused their efforts on the Iron Thorn Mountains, but nothing has been achieved except for a few sporadic ore sites with very small production.

The Empire's Black Iron also rests on Fort Digvo.

And Fort Digwo...... It's been two thousand years old - yes, it's backed by Freljord, and it once avoided a rune war.

Rhodes never imagined that the Darkwell siblings would actually hit the idea on Fort Digwag.

You must know that Fort Digvo, also known as the Fortress of Broken Halberd, whether it is the barbarians of Freeljord or Noxus when it was just founded, they have all launched attacks on Fort Digvo.

But the result was a failure—so when Fort Dig joined Noxus, they only symbolically removed the title of "king", and didn't even deal with their family's stinky, long, and grossly non-Noxian surnames.

Moreover, Fort Digwo, which joined Noxus, is itself highly autonomous.

Other city-states, large or small, had to build at least one legion as a direct force in central Noxus to fight for Noxus - but Fort Dig had only its own elite troops, which were loyal only to the Valrokan family.

In this case, Noxus's dissatisfaction with Fort Dig can be imagined.

He had been able to turn a blind eye to the city during his previous reign, but when Svein became ruler, the fanatical Noxians were already very unhappy with Fort Digwo!

Because of the impending rune war, Fort Digwo, which was already quite conscientious, has recently seen a trend of both ends of the rat - in order to curry favor with Freljord, they even began to ride the wall without disguise!

As for Noxus, Fort Dig began to reduce the supply of black iron - they even sent messengers to Noxus to emphasize the difficulty of their situation, and then discounted and discounted Noxus' demands for black iron.

At the same time, however, Freljord's Avarosa (Ash's tribe) and Winter's Claws (Sejuani's tribe) show signs of new black iron weapons.

In this case, if the Darkwell siblings were able to take control of Fort Dig and declare their allegiance to Noxus, Svein would have been happy to accept it.

Everything sounded so tempting—but looking at the restless Fuya, Rod instinctively felt ...... It's not that simple.

"Say, what about some of the information? Let's talk about it. ”
