Chapter 1245: Anonymous Arch Fire
Is it really the return of King Planck?
Of course...... Not really!
Not to mention that the biggest backers of the Planck Aloy couple are basically finished, even if they really plan to make a comeback...... That's not going to be a big deal at this juncture!
Bilgewater is still staring at this, and you're making such a big fuss...... If others don't know about Bilgewater's power at sea, Planck wouldn't know?
If this thing really plans to make a comeback, he will definitely go to the west of Demacia to find an island first - Demacia's navy is not very strong, that is the best way to accumulate manpower.
That's right, this "Planck's fleet" was actually pretended to be by Rhodes.
Rod's thinking was clear.
Since both Zelas and Azir had scruples, they didn't dare to do it directly...... Then you will drive one of the parties to a dead end, the kind that you can't do without doing anything!
And the slave trade is the best place to start - Zelas launched a slave trade with Noxus in order to make money, which allowed Rhodes to seize the opportunity.
After all, the most important thing for this kind of thing is to ensure that you stay out of the matter, otherwise the other party's backhand blow "can't cure the other side and can't cure you", then Rhodes will be embarrassed.
What could be more justified than a bunch of freed slaves to sabotage Zeroth's plans without a bottom line?
So, Rhodes freed the slaves, and then led them to frantically destroy Zelas's trade routes, and even mobilized some ships from Bilgewater, disguised as Planck's command, and directly engaged in the trade at sea.
It's impossible to see through - you know, more than half of the fleets commanded by Rhodes even lived through the Planck era of Bilgewater, and they were all too familiar with the way of acting in the Scourge of the Seas......
In this way, Rod casually put on a vest, and then began the anonymous arch fire.
And in terms of effect, the anonymous arch fire quickly reached the level that Rhodes expected.
……………………
When the Nashramis finally calmed down, and many of the members of the Zelas faction were suppressed or changed, everyone thought that the matter was over - all that was left was the gossip about Planck, and after the sea disaster did not continue to harass Nash Lamei, the Nashi Latinas also chose to forget the amazing artillery fire of that day.
It seems that everything is moving in the direction of the breeze.
In reality, however, it was nothing more than a brief moment of calm before the storm.
In Neremaji, a special army began its final build-up.
This is the army that belongs to Zelas - although the foundation is sand pirates, over the years of training, Zelas has retained their bravery, but washed away the recklessness of these guys and put discipline on the heads of the sand pirates.
In addition to the sand pirates, Zelas has also specially prepared a group of special warriors, these warriors are all three meters tall, their bodies are extremely strong, and their weapons are heavier than one another, they will not roar or fear, they are the best guards and sharpest blades of Zelas!
This is a puppet army.
Golems have been used for tens of thousands of years in Shurima, and they are never new, but most of the time, they appear as special guards - for example, in the caves beneath Zaun, in the tombs of the Immortal King, they play the role of guardians.
For golems with thick skin but slow response, wards are the best way to use them to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.
But the puppet of Zelas is slightly different.
Although these golems are also much stronger than humans, compared to Shurima's traditional golems, Zelas's golems can be called "small and slender", and he boldly abandons the control of the power core in the past golems, and instead uses arcane power to drive - all golems are powered and controlled, so that the golems are no longer bulky and can no longer only perform guard duties.
While this particular golem is like a full-fledged puppet, given that Zelas is now and an arcane life, it's "more cumbersome" to control at best.
Zelas had borrowed news from the spies that Azir had issued a conscription order in Shurima City, and many civilians were eager to join the army - this caused Zelas's army to be outnumbered for a time, but considering the terrible lethality of the puppet forces against the civilian army, Zelas was confident that he would give the old friend a wonderful surprise!
Looking at the neat puppets, Zelas, who was suspended above the new palace, was even so excited that he had a slight arcane turbulence.
This is my strength!
This is the power that will help me ascend to the throne of the Emperor and become a true ascendant!
As long as these puppets exist, Shurima's weak civilian army would be nothing to mention - and now, all you have to do is strike first, and take the lead when some of your supplies are cut off and things haven't completely deteriorated!
Azir ...... Didn't expect that, right?
I, Zeroth, am here!
