Chapter 25: Temptation

Like other countries, Demacia has always maintained its interference with Zaun - after all, it is a special location.

But unlike the brutal way in which other forces sent an alchemy baron, the Demacians were at least very upright in their actions.

The quick-witted Demacians chose to invest in shares, and mastered a lot of Zuan's crystal mines......

With these crystals at their core, the Demacians had their own stronghold and power in Zaun.

Compared to the alchemist barons who didn't care about their appearance, the Demacians seemed to be full of modesty—they had higher salaries, and they had job insurance—and workers who were injured or even killed in the mining of the crystal ore received a large amount of compensation (though it was not much, most of them did not exceed ten gold hexes).

But there is no doubt that the Demacians have become the clear stream of the Zaun industry with the help of their peers, and all the Lower Zaunans are proud to work in the crystal mines of the Demacians.

And the disagreement between Demacia and Noxus has long been famous, if there is any country that Demacia wants to clean up the most, it is definitely Noxus - in the same way, Noxus wants to clean up Demacia the most.

So why did Noxus invade Ionia a few years ago?

This is mainly because Demacia's strength is too strong - Demacia, who has arranged a rune stone anti-magic barrier on the border and has the Colossus of Justice Galio, is a real hard bone, and Noxus wants to do it against Demacia, and the difficulty is not ordinary.

In this case, Noxus chose to pick soft persimmons and try to annex Ionia to strengthen its national power.

However, due to the interference of various supernatural forces and the awakening of the Ionians, the invasion of Noxus finally failed, and the leaders who switched to conservative policies quickly became dissatisfied, leading to political turmoil in Noxus.

If it was the Demacians who rescued Urgart and gave him to Takeda, then all this is clear.

Demacia saw Noxus' weakness and wanted to weaken Noxus's influence through Zaun - however, due to Demacia's lack of manpower in Zaun, he had more defense and less offense, so he chose such a method and pushed Takeda to the forefront.

This is the illusion that Rhodes wanted to create – and it is the result of Takeda's speculation.

In Takeda Saito's view, it was completely natural for him to do something to Noxus.

Demacia achieved his goal (weakening Noxus); Takeda's strength has expanded (Takeda definitely gets the most benefit from Vos); And the only one who suffers may be the Count of Voss's - but no way, who made your homeland weak now?

As for the Demacians stabbing in the back?

Sorry, Takeda is really not worried about this - if he stabs someone in the back, it won't be Demacia.

I'm afraid this action is already the bottom line of Demacia's festival exercises!

Having said that, the thought of which Earl of Worth to clean up was really a little chilling for Takeda......

In the heart of the alchemy baron, is it because this girl is more powerful and scheming than himself?

Of course not!

Voss is nothing but a masochist accident!

Everyone looks up to Noxus behind you!

Now Noxus is taking care of itself, and Voss is nothing.

When Rod explained the whole thing to Ike, it finally dawned on Ike.

"Wait, starting tomorrow, the alchemy baron will launch a test of Vos's power, and the next days of that sadistic female madwoman may not be very good!"

Looking at Ike, who nodded sluggishly, Rod finally confirmed that when he told the plan, the thoughtfulness on Ike's face was pretended......

It's no wonder that the size of Zu'an Fan Tong has never become too big - the leader does not have the life of a certain rubber man, and he is not like to use his brain like a certain rubber man, so it is strange that he does not suffer losses!

……………………

As Rhodes had guessed, from the next day, Voss's territory was subjected to various degrees of provocation.

There are endless incidents of gangsters crossing the line and deliberately finding faults.

At first, Voss and his Noxian Axe Gang responded to all provocations with the fiercest response, and a large number of thugs with broken tendons were dumped on the streets as an example, but the wave of provocations became more and more exaggerated.

The weirdness didn't last long, and soon the winds were changing - and the problem of Voss's lack of confidence was revealed.

At first, the simple provocation of Noxus allowed people to fight back fiercely, but after the scale of the provocation increased...... The Axe Gang is starting to run out of manpower.

Many speculators who are waiting in the shadows are keenly aware of this, and then join the wave of provocation and robbery.

This situation is like a run on the banking industry, when the Noxians show their lack of confidence, countless retail investors will move with the wind, turning the trend more and more violent.

It all happened so suddenly that Ike, who knew the whole story, was dumbfounded.

Can it be like this?

Rod took advantage of Zaun's characteristics to pry into the already fragile order and cause an unimaginable storm.

Facing Ike's adoring expression, Rhodes was very calm.

I just played the role of a fuse.

Had it not been for the Sarajevo incident, would the First World War not have broken out?

Noxus's weakness is a fact, and he only exposed it first—and on the original trajectory, it was Urgat who defeated the pain, comprehended the pain, expelled Voss, and completed the great reshuffle of Zaun,

But in addition to the excitement, Ike has new worries.

What if the Vos and Noxus gangs were directly defeated?

Without the checks and balances of the Noxians, coupled with the Piltover nail that Rhodes framed out, I'm afraid the rule of the alchemy barons will become unbreakable!

Rod only smiled at Ike's concern.

How can it be that simple!

Now it looks like everyone is trying to rip a piece of fat from Voss, but some people get more, some people get less, and everyone will be content with the status quo afterwards?

What's more, the name of the Noxus gang is the Axe Gang!

Speaking of the axe of Noxus, who else but Darius?

Roder knows better than anyone that after the turmoil in Noxus, Darius and Svein are the biggest winners!

Will this winner watch himself lose all his benefits in Zaun?

With the uneven distribution of the spoils and the return of Noxus to Zaun, the hard days of the alchemy barons have just begun!

And then, it will be the best time for Rod to really make a move!

Now, it seems like it's time to take a trip to Piltover.

I don't know what our Miss Catherine is like now—Rhodes has always been a ...... for this kind of person who insists on kindness regardless of his own position Sneer at.

————————

The first phase of Rod's plan has succeeded, Zuan's original fragile order has been completely broken, everyone has been affected in the turmoil, and the next step has begun, and Rod's task is to take the fire out of the fire.
