Chapter 316: The Fallen Desert Empire
"The minister is here!"
"You're here to help!"
"Minister! Obey! β
"Okay, there's nothing to do, Yun Chang, lead the troops to appease the people. The rest, follow me to Zuan. β
The matter of Picheng is over, and it is Zaun's turn.
As soon as he arrived at the border of Zu'an, Zhang Chen saw that under the leadership of Baron Nalaner, the alchemy barons were already here to greet Zhang Chen.
Compared with the nobles of Picheng, it is obvious that the alchemy barons are more aware of current affairs, Zhang Chen did not confiscate their family property and rights, and said that Zu'an will still be governed by them in the future, and also let them join the Science Foundation.
Knowing the fate of the alchemy barons, not to mention how much the nobles of Piltover regretted it.
As the first alchemy baron willing to take refuge in himself, Nalaner naturally couldn't be treated the same as others.
After asking for her opinion, Zhang Chen asked her to manage the Bilgewater area, and asked her to pick an island in the Bilgewater area to build a second Zuan!
After taking these two important cities of science and technology, Zhang Chen ordered people to clean up the environmental sanitation of Zu'an and move the capital.
Slowly move the heavily polluting alchemy technology industry to the isolated island of Bilgewater, and then the capital will have the appearance of the capital.
It was not that Zhang Chen liked the new and hated the old, and gave up Bilgewater when he laid a better place, but the reason for moving the capital was that the location of Piltover and Zuan was too important.
There are two continents in the Land of Runeterra, Valoran and Shurima.
There is only one land connection point between the two continents, and that is Piltover and Zaun!
The two cities controlled the main trade route between Valoran and Shurima.
Just when Zhang Chen took Picheng and Zu'an, there was a coup d'Γ©tat in Noxus!
After nearly a week of fermentation, the rumors are getting heavier and heavier, although the royal capital's Darkwell and the nobles tried their best to suppress the spread of rumors, but they don't understand the truth that Dayu is better than sparse to control the water.
The more they kill, the more they block, the more the rumors intensify.
"God help me!"
Exiled Vesin, who had a broken arm in Ionia, now has a demonic hand!
After a few days of cultivation and thinking, he figured it out.
The real enemy of Noxus is not Ionia, nor Demacia, nor the Zongji Empire, the real enemy comes from within!
Taking advantage of this gossip and his reputation in the army, Vesin won the approval of countless defenders and returned to the royal capital.
After killing Darkwell and sitting on the throne of Noxus, Vesin began to explore the organization "Black Rose" in the open and in the dark, and had no intention of expanding and recovering lost territory at all.
The current situation in Noxus made Zhang Chen very satisfied, and he planned to use troops against Shurima after cultivating for a while.
Before that, Zhang Chen dug up heroes such as the mechanical pioneer Victor, the steam robot Britz, the cyborg Zack, and the alchemist Sinjid hidden in Zu'an.
Now there are more than 20 heroes under Zhang Chen's hands, the heroes of Bilgewater, Piltover, and Zuan, whether Zhang Chen is coerced or lured, or they are willing, anyway, the heroes of these three regions are all Zhang Chen.
There is also a Catalina of Noxus.
After cultivating for a while, Zhang Chen planned to eat Shurima.
Shurima was once a thriving civilization that stretched across the southern continent, but was reduced to ruins by the death of the God-Emperor. Thousands of years have passed, and what was once glorious has become a myth and a belief. Now, nomadic tribes are struggling to survive in the desert or become mercenaries at the behest of others.
Most of the nomadic inhabitants living in Shurima had to search for basic subsistence in this unforgiving land. Some are stationed in small outposts around a handful of oases. The rest survive by poaching the wealth buried beneath the ruins of the empire or taking on mercenary contracts.
Judging from the current situation of Shurima, it is easy for Zhang Chen to win it part-time.
You must know that the Klockdal brought out of the One Piece world is still in a state of sharp sheath.
Now, it's time for his home turf.
Since the town of Bergunn, this place has long been occupied by Noxus, but it doesn't matter, just drive them away, don't go? Then die here.
Here, I also met a hero, Rock Sparrow, Taliyah.
She only protected the nomadic tribe that gave birth to her and raised her, and Zhang Chen's army only drove out the Noxians, and did not do anything to the nomads, so there was no conflict with the rock sparrows.
From Bergunn all the way west along the coastline, which was encroached upon by Noxus.
All the way to the town of Telishhni and then to Nash Lame.
It is a port city, which has not been occupied by Noxus, and is still under the sovereignty of Shurima.
The people here uphold traditions and honor their ancestors and ascendants, and they do not have a strong sense of belonging to the Shurima Empire, which has been weakened for nearly a thousand years, and his weakness has not affected the silk trade in this port city.
The army of the Zongji Empire is not like the army of Noxus, which is used to attack, they have always adhered to the strategy of attacking the city and attacking the heart, and some cities have opened their doors to accept them along the way, which greatly surprised everyone.
Later, I learned that the Shurima Empire was declining, coupled with the fact that it was built in the desert, the land was barren, and there was a shortage of food.
The people in the cities of Shurima that the Zongji Empire defeated have become Zhang Chen's people, and Zhang Chen naturally will not let them starve to death.
Give them food, give them jobs, let them live a better life, for those Shurima people who even have a problem drinking saliva, Zhang Chen's troops are not invaders, but saviors.
The military operation to invade Shurima was extraordinarily light.
Except for the stubborn resistance of Shurima's army at the Sun Disk, everything else was smooth sailing.
After destroying the army of the Sun Disk, the Shurima Empire also means complete destruction!
The Sun Disc was a tool used by the Shurima to ascend to godhood, and it is said to have been built under the guidance of the Titan Clan.
After the fall of the solar disk, the Shurima Empire fell, and the once great city sank and sank to the sand. Sandstorms filled the depression and buried the solar disk.
Zhang Chen asked Klockdahl to blow the sand away, and then a magical scene appeared.
The solar disc slowly rises again!
There are now many soldiers from Shurima's native who are following Zhang Chen, and there are even heroes.
Zhang Chen may not have understood the meaning of the sun's disk rising again, but they know it very well.
