Chapter 331 Leather City in the War
Just as Arthur and his warband united the dwarves and elves behind the enemy army, the fierce battle between Zaun, Zaun and the Phi City coalition and the Noxian invaders was about to enter a critical moment where the winner had to be decided.
Victor's tall, dark red metal figure was hidden in a thick dark cloud, and a pair of demon eyes looked at the huge arched gate in the distance-Noxtola, surrounded by hundreds of Noxians' latest land boats, tall sails like feathers, with the escort of the Imperial Mage Regiment, extending the defense line to dozens of miles away.
As the war intensified, this permanent portal in the core area of Zaun has become the most important strategic point for the Noxians, and every day, thousands of tons of supplies and a large number of soldiers come out of this gate, constantly replenishing the Tulatan legion with fresh blood, which makes the Tulatan legion like an ancient giant that cannot be killed.
No matter how many partial victories the coalition won in the face-to-face battles with the Turatan Legion, they were destined to fail to achieve decisive results, and Tokastora's presence allowed the Noxians to dig this huge nail in the heart of Zaun, turning the war into a war of attrition.
This put both Zuan and Picheng under tremendous pressure.
Noxtola has now become a dagger stuck in the heart of the Coalition Giant, bleeding the behemoth of the Coalition Army day by day.
The coalition forces were gradually overwhelmed.
Although the top brass of the coalition army had already considered the impact of the war on Zaun and Picheng, they did not expect that the impact would be so great.
Relatively speaking, the special terrain of Zu'an, coupled with the fact that the war has been going on in Zu'an for quite some time, the people of Zu'an have been relatively adapted to this level of warfare.
But now the problem is Pither, and the new entrant is now the biggest victim of this war.
Victor remembered the conversation he had just had with the old fellow at the Magic Communication Crystal and Heimerdinger, and the old fellow's worries about the growing situation in Leather City couldn't help but tangle his brows.
…………………………
In the early morning, the sea fog in Piltover is piercing through and dissipating by the morning sun, and the city is beginning to show its outline under the morning fog.
The harbour city also wakes up from the morning fog for a new day.
It's perhaps the busiest port on the continent, with tall sails raised like clouds, tall gantry cranes made of steel and concrete, and giant mechanical golems operated by workers who aren't even alchemist apprentices.
On the docks, the boatmen climbed up and down like ants, deftly climbing up and down among the thick ropes that crisscrossed the sailboats.
The mechanical golems unload the cargo from the ship with the help of the boatmen.
On the shore, the serrations of the huge iron gears almost the size of the house bite each other with a palpitating loud sound, driving a screaming crane to lift the huge cargo hold, almost the size of half a ship, up the track of a 45-degree slope to the dock.
In this way, the cargo of the giant ships docked in the harbor was carried to the city above the docks.
The use of these huge new alchemy utensils has made the throughput of this port an astonishing figure.
A screaming crane on a gantry crane can transport hundreds of tons of goods at a time, and its transportation efficiency can exceed that of hundreds of dock workers in the past.
This is the difference between the port of Picheng and other ports on the mainland, this developed alchemy industry is changing the face of the entire city little by little, and in time, even the entire continent may be affected by this change.
Alchemy Magic Guiding Technology, this new field is showing more and more significant influence in the economic operation of the primitive world of Loraine.
But the invasion of the Noxians also brought panic to the city.
In just a few days, the number of ships passing through the strait has plummeted by half, and the import and export cargo at the port has also plummeted to one-third.
Merchants were trying to escape the war.
Every day, the passenger ships in the port are filled with merchants and citizens who want to escape the city and go to distant places.
Many of them were born and raised in this city, and everyone loved and embraced this city from the bottom of their hearts, but the war drove them to stay away.
The sheriff, Catherine, stood on a bell tower on the docks, her young face looking worriedly at the harbor below.
War!
is keeping Phi City away from the peace and wealth they are familiar with.
Damn Noxians!
What's even worse is that the invasion of the Noxians has forced the people of Picheng to even consider complicity with the alchemy barons of the filthy Zaun.
This is the most intolerable thing for the young jealous Catherine.
Catherine had even reported to her boss that she would be transferred out of the city and go to the front to participate in the war on the front line, but the boss of the garrison department had been reluctant to let her go, so she had not been able to make the trip.
I had known that a few days ago she had simply run away from home to join the ranks of the lord she had always longed for, and recently read the news in the newspaper that the lord led his warband thousands of miles behind enemy lines, ran to the north, and made another big move in the occupied area of the north, annihilating an entire army of Noxians.
Importantly, they also rescued the good dwarven tribes from the Noxian underground, and together with the dwarves formed a coalition to fight together, they captured the famous Black Mountain fortress, and also issued a call to the weak peoples of the entire continent through the magic web: all the countries of the oppressed and exploited race of the Noxians, unite and declare war on the cruel and violent Noxians!
What a heroic spirit it is, it sounds like it makes people feel refreshed, born in this era, it should be like this, this is an era of heroes.
What that adult did was an example for every young person.
Catherine had long wanted to join the Red Star Band, but unfortunately her parents at home held her back. No, these nights, her parents of the money-hungry merchant couple began to discuss whether they should find a way to leave Phi City by boat like everyone else, and wait to see where the winds of war were going.
Ay!
O unenlightened people!
This is Leather City, this is the land where you were born and raised!
Shouldn't the sons of merchants have the courage to defend their homeland?
Catherine angrily stepped on the tiles of the bell tower under her feet.
At this moment, suddenly, woohoo! The alarm bell rings over the docks, the sky is clouded in the distance, and the Noxians are here again!
