If Valoran also makes headlines, then [Piltover Annihilation Weapon] will definitely go straight to the top.

Because of Oriana's fanfare, the news of Hex's annihilation of the weapon spread as quickly as possible, and all the other forces more or less felt the pressure from this weapon.

The Hex Annihilation Weapon, which Rhodes privately named the "Frame Drop Weapon", put a lot of pressure on the others - and unlike the powerful beings of the past, the Hex Annihilation Weapon is a "weapon", that is, this thing should not depend on the strength of the operator.

It's horrible.

Valoran's strong man is like a carp crossing the river, but there has never been anything strong that can be passed on, if there is one...... Then I'm afraid only the giant god will make the star spirit.

And now, Piltover openly states that I have at my disposal a terrible weapon that does not rely on people......

A lot of people want to say something rude.

Yes, Piltover is the capital of evolution – but let's be honest, in the eyes of the Valoran giants, it's just a big name.

Everyone gives you a little face on the surface, not because of jealousy, but because there is no need to stiffen the relationship, and Piltover himself is actually very conscious, the most direct point is that although the number of Noxian War stonemasons arrested in Leather City has gone straight to the triple digits, and the fields involved are becoming more and more core, but you see that Pittown has at most verbally protested, and there are not even trade sanctions against Noxus.

Why?

Because the size of Picheng is here, one city against one country, if the other party's head is convulsed, it will be a big injury to the other party's vitality, and he will be bulldozed directly.

But now, when HexDawn was successfully applied to the actual battle, Piltover stiffened his waist by more than a point.

While the people of Phi City were celebrating their victory, the Leather City Police and Garrison launched a joint operation, in which the Freedom Guards of Zaun were involved, in which more than fifty war masons from Noxian were directly expelled from the country - which was nothing, but in addition to the expulsion, the Twin Cities also announced in passing that "for necessary reasons, a special tax of 20% will be added to Noxian imports to guard against possible situations".

As for what possible scenarios to watch out for...... Sorry, the Twin Cities themselves didn't know, in other words, it was a clear act of revenge.

Keep in mind that the Twin Cities themselves are the largest free port in Valoran, and because of their location and low fees (low tax rates), most of the maritime trade passes through Piltover.

And now, the Twin Cities have announced a special tax increase of 20% on Noxus goods, which will certainly reduce the throughput of Phi City's ports, but at the same time, merchants will vote with their feet, either choosing to change routes, or simply the proportion of Noxus products in the cargo, while driving down the price of Noxus products.

This is a personal life......

Noxus is already barren and scarce, and even now, many Noxus cities need to import large quantities of food to survive.

And where there are imports, there are exports - in terms of international currency settlement, the Noxus double-headed eagle coin is a very untrusted currency (this is mainly due to the fact that some Noxian commanders have over-issued currencies before), so foreign exchange reserves are also of great significance to Noxus.

Theoretically speaking, in the economic field, Noxus belongs to the bottom group, but because of national strength, no one wants to engage in economic war with Noxus, because you don't know if this impoverished country will directly flip the table because it can't play for a while......

But now the Twin Cities say I don't care about your threat of force.

You're sending me a spy, aren't you?

Then I'll add you a special tax - see who is uncomfortable!

……………………

Svein was really uncomfortable.

To be honest, Svein himself doesn't have much appetite for the Twin Cities - the main reason why the Twin Cities have captured so many war masons is because a large part of them have been withdrawn from Shurima.

That's right, more than two-thirds of these expelled war masons had actually taken refuge in Phi City for safety after leaving Shurima.

Less than a third of the war stonemasons were spies assigned by Svein, a very normal number, and although it doesn't sound good to say, it has always been the basic policy of Noxus to ensure external surveillance.

But...... Svein could not say such things, let alone the slightest hint.

Now the relationship with the Twin Cities has been stiffened, and if you say that these people have returned from Shurima......

Not to mention whether this is a show of weakness or not, but at the same time, Noxus can't accept the fact that he is provoked by Shurima.

So, even if it's a dumb loss, Svein can only eat it.

Of course, when it comes to the size of Noxus, although it is uncomfortable to be suddenly stuck, the problem is not unsolvable - Svein can see it very clearly, and the twin cities are just taking advantage of this opportunity to jump, this kind of thing is originally to hurt the enemy by one thousand and lose eight hundred, even if the tax rate is raised, but in the case of a decline in trade volume, the twin cities are not comfortable.

Moreover, now the barbarians of Freljord have gone to Pit, and the food and drink are provided by the people of Pitts...... Svein doesn't believe him, and Piltover is not under much pressure!

So, even if he is a little depressed, Svein is still sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai, and the focus of his current work is still on the armament side - the sea of stars or something is a thought, but after all, it is too far away, Svein doesn't know if he can see that day, but this time the battle of the void...... Svein is definitely going to take a big bite out of Shurima!

And things turned out just as Svein had predicted.

The sanctions lasted less than a month, and the Twin Cities took the initiative to send a signal to seek "a solution to the current trade problem".

And according to the meaning of the twin cities, everyone should sit down and have a good talk.

Svein naturally agreed to the invitation of the Twin Cities, and the only thing to consider was where the venue for the negotiations should be chosen.

According to Svein, it would be a good choice for Oriana and Ike to visit the Immortal Fortress, and the Noxians are also very hospitable!

But Shuangcheng said that it was better for the Grand Commander to go south to talk, and by the way, he could also come to Shuangcheng to see a different scenery......

In this way, the two sides started a tussle over the question of the location of the negotiations, and this bickering will last for quite some time, if not surprising.

Rhodes didn't have time to wait for them to come to a conclusion - while the Twins and Noxus were still arguing over where to meet, Rhodes had already left the Twins and set out on his way to Demacia.
