【0769】 Departure
Yasuo has his own plans.
But this time he did not go to Shurima directly - before going to Shurima, he practiced the whole set, and he needed to prepare several additional actors.
So, after temporarily leaving Taliyah on Fuguang Island, he returned to Ionia alone.
………………………………………
Unlike Yasuo, who has a plan and no longer has to worry, after Uzeris, Telishni and Berguen closed the port, Noxus can be said to be very anxious.
Although these are only three cities, these three cities carry two-thirds of the foreign trade volume of Shurima - and this huge trade brings a steady stream of gold and coin taxes to Noxus.
Now that there is something wrong with my wallet, even if I am as calm as Sviin, I can't sit still now.
But he was at least rational enough and did not agree with the fantasy suggestion of Dreyes "sending the Choifali legion to cross the sea to fight" as soon as possible.
Svein knew very well that for Noxus, the biggest problem with this matter was never whether to fight or not, but how to fight - after the Battle of Dalu Bay, the Noxus navy was severely injured and had not recovered yet.
There is no way. Compared with other branches of the army, the construction cycle of the navy is too long. A large number of warships were forced to destroy themselves in Dalu Bay in order not to be left to Ionia. Even if Noxus began to rebuild immediately after the war, there are very few warships anchored at Longmen Port now.
As for the fleet responsible for maintaining the Valorand Strait... because of the Piltwolf Canal, this fleet is very limited in number and is not enough to undertake the task of large-scale combat.
Taking these two into consideration, Noxus is now very lacking in naval combat capabilities.
If you want to rescue the three port cities that have been sealed, it seems that you can only send troops and land on the battlefield.
But the problem is... With the reimbursement of Duguel and the entire Watch Sea Fleet, the training of the Noxus Navy Company's landing operations has just been restored.
Large-scale military mobilization is not enough to talk about it, especially if such large-scale cross-sea operations are not unified, it is to give away heads.
Therefore, the road to landing and attacking front and back was blocked.
It seems that Noxus can only choose to mobilize troops honestly, and then send them to Uzeris through the Valoran fleet, and then participate in defending the city - after all, the defending party is always an advantage. With the Noxus army as a supplement, I believe that this Emperor Shurima will definitely touch a bag in Uzeris?
Well, most senior Noxus generals think so.
But as the commander of Noxus, Svein thought a little further.
Before sending reinforcements, he needed to confirm the situation in the besieged Uzeris. To be honest, Uzeris, who took the lead in surrendering to Noxus, was "untrustworthy" in Svein's heart.
What's more... Shurima was originally a "private land" of the black rose. After becoming the commander, Svein launched a lot of reforms inside, which did restore Noxus' vitality, but it was somewhat beyond the reach of Shurima City.
Svein wanted to be unafraid of speculating on Black Rose with the greatest malicious intention. In his opinion, if Uzeris could use his elites to cheat him out, even if this would completely make Noxus lose Shurima's stronghold, they would definitely not refuse!
In addition, Yasuo had done something here before, which inspires the conflict between Noxus and the local nobles. Before the news of the war stonemasons came back, Sviin would not take any action easily.
The army should assemble, and the country should assemble, but we must be cautious in sending troops!
Svein returned to his office and collapsed into a wide chair after sending away a general who was full of righteous indignation on his face, but actually wanted to lead his troops to set off and gain military merits.
Lamer's chatter was still recalling in his ears, but Svein's own thoughts had already flown out of the sky.
………………………………………
Svein is waiting for news about the war stonemason.
The war stonemason he was waiting for - Ms. Tamara, ace spy, had been completely locked down and curfewed, and was lurking for seven days.
Considering that Uzeris's garrison was not reliable, Tamara's operation was entirely carried out by herself - she now has an ostensible identity as a "Noxus businessman" with a main business scope [jewelry and crafts].
In Shurima, there are amazing numbers of such merchants. They often operate the business of purchasing cultural relics and smuggling contraband under the banner of jewelry and craft merchants.
In analogy, the jewelry and craft merchants in Noxus are probably similar to the explorers in Piltwolf.
This identity is undoubtedly quite flexible, allowing both official contact and black market access. Through two channels, Tamara was able to collect a large amount of information about Uzeris - even if the city was completely martial law and had military management implemented.
It was getting late, and it was time for a curfew.
When a few shops on Uzeris Commercial Street were closing, Tamara dressed neatly and quietly left her hotel.
At dusk, this is the time when she is going out to visit.
Today Tamara is visiting the captain of a security team in the south of the city - he is a middle-aged Noxus man with a big belly and a rank of his lieutenant.
This is the thread that Tamara finally got on.
The visit went smoothly, and this guy was as greedy as most of the troops stationed in Uzeris - especially during military management.
Tamara, whose pseudonym Umunara, claimed that she had received news from the black market that there were a batch of Shurima merchants' goods in the warehouse in the south of the city.
"That's a bunch of sand thieves." Tamara looked unfaithful, and her face was full of merchant-like philosophies and cunning, "just in the Beetle Lane south of the city."
"Is Beetle Lane? There is still a warehouse?" Mr. Lieutenant just raised his eyebrows and seemed to understand Tamara's meaning, "It's the direction of the rebels' siege. I guess the entire warehouse was smashed by catapults, right?"
"This is a big waste!" Tamara nodded, "Although most of them are worthless broken stones, it is still a waste to bury them in the ruins-"
"We are the guardians of Uzeris!" The stern-faced lieutenant took on a formal look, "After defeating those rebellions, there will be special war reparations to compensate this part."
