In Reed's view, joining Shurima is the best way to solve the problem. It can not only avoid the war between Zaun and Piltover, but also support the Shurima Empire that is about to rise again.
This is simply a "win-win" thing. The Shurima Empire needs the technology of Piltover and Zaun to increase productivity, improve the Shurima environment that is now a desert, and restore the empire's original glory and strength.
And Piltover and Zaun can use the vast land of the Shurima Empire to solve the problems of overpopulation and resettlement of downstream industrial factories.
However, neither the Piltover business tycoon family nor the leaders of Zaun's newly emerged "Dark Alley" thought this was a good approach.
Because in doing so, the independence of the two cities was sacrificed. Now, no matter how they fight, they can be regarded as brothers fighting against each other.
However, once the Shurima Empire was involved, things changed. They became their appendages, and the previous struggle seemed to have turned into a joke.
More importantly, they must abide by the laws of the Shurima Empire, obey the orders of the Shurima Emperor, and no longer maintain the free appearance of Piltover and Zaun.
They are a commercial hub, and they are the managers who collect tolls from all passing merchant ships. Even if the Noxian army wants to pass here, they have to pay them.
The rapid expansion of Noxus is closely linked to the rise of Piltover, and they rely heavily on Piltover's shipping.
At present, many ports and cities in northern Shurima have surrendered to the Noxus Empire. The original inhabitants of those settlements coexist peacefully with the Noxian expatriates. They receive preferential trade treatment in exchange for resistance to plunder.
military protection.
And Piltover is the connecting bridge between Noxus and Shurima. Of course, it is also a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh in a sense. Noxus is also constantly trying to penetrate Piltover, and the war
The Masons are constantly at war with Piltover's family spies.
"We can unite the Noxus Empire and fight together against the Shurima Emperor who crawled out of the yellow sand."
Some heads of the Piltover business family raised their hands. If they couldn't fight against the legendary "Ascended Ones" with their own strength, then why not bring the Noxians together?
The northern coast of Shurima is the sphere of influence of the Noxians. With the temper and warlike temper of the Noxians, they will never give up this land to the emperor of Shurima.
They could even sit back and watch the battle between the Noxus Empire and the Shurima Empire, and maybe even make a lot of money from it.
"..."
Reed was a little speechless. By making this suggestion, he had actually acquiesced in the defeat of the Noxus Empire. Instead of counting on the Noxians, it was better to count on the Twin Cities themselves.
The Shurima Empire's home battle environment, coupled with the gap in high-end combat power, no matter how good the Noxian expeditionary force is in fighting, it is impossible to defeat the Shurima Empire led by the "Ascended One" at home.
If it weren't for the invasion of the Void and the backstab of Xerath, the powerful Shurima Empire might not even have given Noxus and the Demacians a chance to rise.
"Noxians are no good either."
Over in the "Black Alley", Silko spoke, "He doesn't trust the Noxians, and this distrust is even stronger than his distrust of the Yodels."
Although Noxians are also humans, the aggressiveness of Noxians is much higher than those cute-looking yordles. Once the Noxians are given a chance, they will never let it go.
A chance to dominate the Twin Cities.
"Tsk, you guys are really..."
Reed wanted to say "I don't know what's good or bad", but he couldn't understand that this feeling of having power in his hands was not something that anyone could give up easily. They couldn't guarantee that they would still be able to do so after surrendering to the Shurima Empire.
It is actually very difficult to be independent on your own.
"Please give us time to think about it."
On the side of the chaebol family, the patriarch of the Philos family spoke. She was a woman who looked quite mature, and she was a descendant of Camille.
"I'm afraid you don't have much time to think about it."
Reed smiled, and then he didn't bother to talk to these guys who couldn't see the situation clearly. The situation today is different from the past. Azir's return and the re-rising of the "Sun Disk" will completely change the situation.
Change the world and the power of the Ascended Ones will begin to manifest again.
Reed left the field directly. He had told these people which way to go. If these guys chose the wrong way, he couldn't be blamed.
The yordles will protect all people or things related to the academy, but others are not within the scope of the yordles' protection.
Reed's departure made the patriarchs of Piltover's business families look at each other, while the leaders of the "Dark Alley" simply left the scene. It seemed that they had no intention of communicating at all. Now the "Dark Alley"
"He is very aggressive, even Fandel is very confident and aggressive now.
Reed is too lazy to worry about the future of the Twin Cities. He wants to find Zoe, the "Twilight Star Spirit". He wants to meet Aurelion Sol, the "Star Dragon King" through Zoe. He wants to do something final.
Try to have a frank talk with the old Dragon King.
However, finding Zoe is not a simple matter. No one knows where she is, that weird guy.
Reed searched for Zoe through various channels for half a year before finally finding her. This was very lucky, because Zoe did not go anywhere else, but has been everywhere in "Rune Land"
Wandering around.
"It's easy, come with me!"
After hearing Reed's request, Zoe was very generous. She regarded Reed as a friend and Aurelion Sol as a friend. She was quite happy to see Aurelion Sol.
So, under the leadership of "Twilight Star Spirit" Zoe, Reed met the "Star Dragon King" Aurian Thor, who was wandering in the starry sky. His majestic body exuded unparalleled celestial power.
, the azure body is as mysterious as the starry sky itself and can be seen to the edge.
"I remember you."
Aurelion Sol opened his mouth, his huge body swaying slightly, scattering the dazzling stars of the heavens, and still wearing the crown that bound him on his head.
“It’s a great honor.”
Reed replied to the Dragon King, he wanted to be polite first and then fight.
"What do you want to see me about?"
Aurelion Sol was a little curious. He did have some impressions of this spiritual realm creature that he had met before.
This little guy once showed him the courage of mortal creatures. Although it was ridiculous, it also left him with a memory.
