In the early morning of Zaun, the whole city was shrouded in a thick fog.

The Grand Canal, which connects the Sea of Watch and the Sea of Conquest, gives the city plenty of moisture, but it also makes the city more polluted - the alchemy factories produce large amounts of suspended particulate matter when making Hex Crystals, which will be suspended in the air with the fog, and once inhaled, it can easily cause various serious lung diseases.

According to incomplete statistics, the rate of death from lung diseases has always been higher than 30%

But recently, Zuan has had a rare good weather.

The reason is simple, the advent of war has forced many alchemy factories to shut down - for alchemy barons, it is simply normal for alchemy barons to use their workers as cannon fodder for the sake of fighting, and without them, these alchemy factories will naturally not be able to operate.

The siege of the sinking pit has been going on for a week.

The initial surprise made it easy for the Noxians to reach the Sinking Hook Mine - the alchemists didn't expect Piltover to be so quick at the time, so the Noxians had landed before they were ready to intercept them.

And after giving up a step ahead, the rhythm of the entire battle was directly grasped by Svein.

Well, in terms of strategy, this is a one-sided hanging.

Noxus dispatched a main army and pulled the banner of Naga Kapoulos, achieving unimaginable results.

Seeing that the statue in the sinking pit was gradually about to be completed, even if he was as cautious as Svein, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Sure enough, in front of Noxus, the rabble is meaningless.

Svein glanced at the fog outside the window and began to think about his next plan to find LeBlanc and Delevingne.

At that moment, the crow on his shoulder suddenly began to quack.

"Attacking again?"

Svein was answered by a thug with an alchemical prosthetic leg on the outside, roaring with anger.

Svein pouted - a routine offense that had no real effect.

After thinking about it, Svein got up and limped outside on crutches.

Although it should be difficult to be beautiful, but for the sake of caution, Svein still needs to look at the situation.

The Night Raven Mage Regiment has been mobilized, and all the defensive circles of the entire Sinking Hook Mine have been opened, and the mages are under the protection of the defensive array, methodically bombarding the advancing enemies with their spells.

Compared to the Noxian army, the Alchemy Baron's men were much more powerful on their own, but when it came time for them to attack a fortress, things got into trouble.

The tools are too rudimentary and lack ranged power.

War is not the same as gang fighting, and in front of the Night Raven Mage Regiment, these thugs are always bombarded with spells.

Where am I? Where am I going? Who's beating me?

Although the magic of the Night Raven Mage Corps accidentally injured a large number of innocent people (including the way from the landing to the Sinking Hook Mine, the Night Raven Mage Corps walked in a straight line and opened the way with spells, and I don't know how many unlucky people were destroyed by spells and even people and houses when they were at home), but in the Noxian dictionary, there are never civilians in war, and Svein is at ease.

Even if it weren't for the relatively remote nature of the Shengou Mine, it is very likely that Zu'an's losses would be even more serious now!

At the beginning of the battle, Svein, who couldn't figure out the depths, also went into battle himself, and now Svein has his own free time.

A cup of black tea with the screams of those alchemist thugs is also excellent, isn't it?

……………………

Compared to Svein, who was in danger of victory, the alchemy barons of Zaun were gloomy.

I think that a guy with a backing like Takeda Saito has already started to contact and retreat - Noxus has no chance to run to Ionia to capture him anyway.

But more of the alchemy barons of Zu'an are now thinking about whether to choose to bow their heads.

The situation is awkward.

If the Noxian army was overwhelmed, it would be good to say that these alchemy barons would surrender if they were defeated, but this time Noxus really didn't use much force.

In a place like Noxus, where ability is important, surrendering so easily, the alchemy barons are likely to be deprived of everything directly.

Before you know it, the purpose of the battle has shifted.

The alchemy baron no longer had the luxury of victory, but began to demand decency.

However, after several waves of tentative contact, the news brought by the envoy was not optimistic.

Svein rejected all conditional surrenders.

Don't negotiate terms with Noxus - Svein is not interested in these alchemist barons with fat brains!

For Noxuin, the greatest significance of this war is to brighten muscles and plunder technology, and in Svein's opinion, the role of these alchemy barons is not as good as those Hex craftsmen!

This result was extremely frustrating for the alchemy barons.

I can't fight and fight, if the stalemate continues, everyone's big move is about to be ready, and the most infuriating thing is that the surrender will not be safe!

Do you want to just roll up the cover and run away?

But the alchemy baron's everything was never based on money!

Without Zu'an as a stronghold and as a breeding ground for power, is the alchemy baron still a big man?

If they just pack up and take away the good things and run away, these alchemy barons may be killed by a robber in any corner and directly abandon their corpses in the wilderness!

So, how about taking your little brother and running away?

Not to mention whether there is a younger brother willing to follow, just talking about the wealth required to support a thug with an alchemy prosthetic, it is an astronomical amount!

Can the alchemy baron, who has lost his source of wealth, still be able to afford his little brother?

If you can't afford it, then the first ones to be eaten are these unlucky alchemy barons!

Now the alchemy baron has really reached a dilemma.

war, war can not win; Run, can't escape; Drop, do not accept.

What to do?

At the critical moment when everyone was looking at each other, Takeda Saito gave his own promise.

"Ionia welcomes you - I can guarantee your safety in Ionia."

Battle Briefing:

Lady Piltover was unwilling to offend Naga Kapoulos for Zuan, so she chose to give up the intervention, and the unprepared alchemy baron did not intercept it at the first time, so that the Noxians met in the Sinking Hook Pit, occupied the favorable terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and began to hold back the big move.

In the process, a large number of innocent people are injured or even killed, and Nick's brother Wen is nowhere to be found, Nick asks for help from Britz, and Britz agrees, and begins to awaken Zaun's intelligent machines.

During this time, Rhodes was receiving and reassuring refugees, and by the way, spreading the teachings of Cana.
