The contract was signed, and both Rod and Svein smiled.

Svein had nothing to fear.

I took advantage of the contract, as long as I can't see that Azir, I won't give you any resources.

After all, intentions are only intentions until they get actual benefits.

Rhodes is even more fearless.

You think I'm trying to swap resources with Noxus?

Sorry – Rod's purpose is ...... Acting for Piltover.

So there are two foxes, one old and one young, one wants to fulfill the agreement, but the initiative is in his own hands (he can't find that Azir, the contract can't be reached, and Noxus won't give anything); The other is that they don't want to fulfill the agreement at all, and simply use the agreement itself as a springboard (the ghost and you go to Azir, I won when I got the contract).

Then, the day after Rod and Svein signed a contract of intent to cooperate, the news spread throughout Piltover.

The Supreme Council of Phi City was dumbfounded.

That's not going to work!

If at this time Zaun falls to Noxus - what about Piltover?!

What is even more exaggerated is that, after careful consideration of the situation, Mrs. Piltworth found that Zaun's fall to Noxus seemed to be in good interest and no harm......

Yes, being a city-state in Noxus meant taking on a lot of obligations - but wasn't Zaun also taking on a lot of the obligations of Leather City before?

No matter how bad it is to join Noxus, can it be worse than now?

Zu An is really "barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes" now, anyway, it's already terrible, and everything you do is progress.

Leave Piltover behind and start anew – why not?

Although some people in Picheng thought that Zuan was just deliberately pressuring in this way, when the contract was announced, they had nothing to say.

In desperation, the Supreme Council of Picheng convened an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with the Zuan issue.

First of all, the tone of the meeting is difficult to determine.

Is it tough or soft?

Some people say it's time to change their attitude and bring Zaun back - the contract isn't in effect yet, anyway.

It is also said that it is necessary to take a tough attitude, and Noxus's actions themselves mean that they covet Leather City, and if they retreat, they can only indulge them by inch.

Of course, there is no shortage of "this matter needs to be considered in the long run" and mud, but as soon as this kind of person speaks, he will be spat on the face by the upper two categories of people - "Think about it in the long run, and Piltover will be cold by then!" ”

During the five-hour emergency meeting, the 13 members of the Supreme Council had red eyes, and none of them could convince anyone.

In the end, these members of Piltover's Supreme Committee had no choice but to compromise with each other and opt for a three-pronged approach.

On the one hand, send an emissary to Zaun to appease the angry Zaun - although Piltover and Zaun are not on good terms, but better than Zaun's relationship with Noxus?

There's something we can talk about, don't join the Noxus Federation on impulse!

On the other hand, Piltover also began a secret mobilization if Zaun really joined the Noxus Federation...... Hex's artillery is full, and Piltover would rather destroy Zaun himself!

Hextech looks that can be used not only to create!

Finally, a joint expedition from Picheng was sent to Shurima, and then the legend of Azir was found, and if he found that Azir, he would be able to cut off the cooperation between Zaan and Noxus at the source.

The Piltover level is still there.

The first two responses are relatively average, but the third one coincides with Rhodes' "Shurima Development Strategy", and given Piltover's long-standing experience in the study of ancient diseases, they are more likely to find their target.

But when Rod got the news, he smiled with satisfaction.

That's what I want!

I'm not afraid of your actions, I'm afraid of you not moving!

Zaun is now ...... I can't afford it!

In Rhodes' opinion, as long as Piltover moves, he has already exposed his flaws!

Who called Piltover that there are Rhodes' own people over there~

With Catherine's help, the actions of the highest councillor of Pi City, Rod is clear!

Three-pronged approach, right?

I'll just bloom in three ways!

According to the established plan, while the Supreme Council of Picheng was trying to find a way to deal with the Zaun issue, Rhodes and Svein were playing Tai Chi while starting to do things in Piltover.

Rhodes' first route was to incite the revolt of small merchants.

From LeBlanc, Rhodes got a lot of interesting evidence.

This evidence was obtained by LeBlanc about Piltover.

Noxus had previously made a number of deals with Piltover - Piltover did not pursue Tamara, and Noxus gave a share of imports and exports to certain families.

You know, Piltover is a trading city.

Hextech and maritime trade have always been the two pillars of Piltover's rapid growth.

And there are only three general directions for maritime trade.

Shurima to the south, the Blue Flame Islands (including the Python Islands and Bilgewater) to the east, and Noxus to the north.

Demacia to the west is a country that does not accept this trade, while Ionia to the northeast has no trade to speak of for the time being.

And because the Noxian Pan-Federation is a large collection, the merchants involved in the Noxus trade are also the richest group of Piltover merchants, as long as Rhodes lifts this curtain, Piltover is afraid that it will take a while.

Despite the sheer power of the Supreme Council's families, the merchants of these small chambers of commerce were the backbone of the Piltover trade - and if this evidence was published, it would provoke the wrath of all the merchants involved in the Noxian trade.

This kind of shady trading is always unforgivable.

Considering that Leather City had offended Naga Kapolos recently, the dissatisfaction of the group of traders of the Blue Flame Islands was also very serious.

As for the merchants of the Shurima trade - it wasn't that Rhodes looked down on the Shurima trade, but those merchants were indeed the poorest and least influential......

Of course, these are not enough.

Rod's second path has already begun to move, and Zaun's official expedition team is one step ahead of Picheng (remember Zaun's three-year plan, one of which is Shurima's official exploration), and they have already set off for Shurima, and their goal is to find a girl named Sivir.

This girl will have a big name in the future.

Goddess of War!

And the most important third way, Rhodes targeted another industry in Leather City with the goal of the fatal blow.

Hextech!

This time the blow is not only the limitation of raw materials.
