Chapter 230 [0228] Repair

Lux understood the reason.

But this kind-hearted girl always couldn't bear to see the war continue - so, even if she knew that Besilico's rebellion was an opportunity, she still couldn't bear it.

And Karya, who knew her very well, used a little trick, but he had taught this little trick to Lux before, so after Lux realized this, her emotions were somewhat subtle.

I always feel that Karya has treated me like a child!

It was for this reason that she chose to tell Ino about her thoughts and ignored Karya.

After talking, Lux's mood was obviously calmed down a lot - especially after Ino and her "shared hatred and enemies" condemned Karya, the unscrupulous teacher who played tricks on his students, Lux was obviously relieved a lot.

Then, she happily added a midnight snack for herself.

The next day, the construction team where Craig was located received a special task.

The Third Construction Corps, which originally undertook part of the New Port construction task, was now assigned an overseas mission. Under the leadership of Ino, they boarded the ship at the newly built New Port Pier 1 and were then sent to Besilico.

In this city, they will work overtime for a month to repair the city walls, renovate the parapets, bunkers and gatehouses for Besilico.

Although the working hours are long and the deadline is tight, the bonus for this mission is very generous, so these Zaun construction workers are eager to work and are very motivated.

However, Craig, as a small foreman, is a little strange.

He doesn't understand why Ms. Ino came here to work together.

Although Zaun people know that this secretary has quite amazing attainments in the field of construction, and her frost magic can easily do many things that ordinary construction methods cannot achieve, but repairing the city wall doesn't require her to do anything?

Is it because this is an overseas job?

However, before, Zaun workers had also gone to Kalduga, Kumangla and other places to help the locals build various public or private buildings - at that time, I didn't see Ino personally following them?

Of course, although it was a bit strange, it was not a problem worthy of attention. Craig just thought about it with some curiosity. Without getting an answer, he simply stopped thinking about this "meaningless question".

Let's work hard on the plastering!

After finishing this job, it is very likely that he will buy a private property in Zaun earlier than Bomb and Ekko!

……………………

Ino came to Besilico in person, naturally not just to lead the team to plastering - you know, she came to Besilico with Kalya!

Considering the importance of Besilico's possible rebellion to Zaun, Kalya even reluctantly stopped Lux's studies temporarily, letting her stay in Zaun to "study in her spare time", and she was brought by Ino to Besilico to investigate in person.

Although the Durham family of Besilico was warm on the surface but actually distant, and was consciously keeping an eye on these Zaun workers, under the command of Kalja, Ino still sneaked out of the place where he stayed several times at night.

Soon, Ino got a lot of interesting news.

As a city that took the initiative to surrender to Noxus, Besilico did not experience a huge reshuffle after being incorporated into the rule of Noxus - the Durham family used to be the lord family here, and it is still prominent now.

On the surface, the Durham family has no power in Besilico, and Besilico is ruled by a service officer named Quelleta Vane.

But in fact... things are not that simple.

In Besilico, from market managers to street tax collectors, from low-level sheriffs to garrison captains, almost everyone has a close connection with the Durham family.

As the local snake of Besilico, the Durham family, who looks like a local tycoon, is the actual controller of this city.

In Ino's silent investigation, she found that compared with Noxus, the locals believed in the Durren family more - although Besilico flew the Noxian flag and abided by the laws of Noxus, the executors of everything were the Durren family.

This situation was normal. After all, during the period of rapid expansion of Noxus, many areas that were conquered without force were in this situation.

But the problem was that when Noxus sent troops to Ionia before, in order to shorten the supply route as much as possible and mobilize troops nearby, a large number of young and strong people were drawn from Besilico to join the army.

For Noxus, this is a routine operation, and it can even be regarded as a way to assimilate the locals.

In the past, every time Noxus conquered a place, it would draw young and strong people from here and send them to foreign lands to fight for Noxus.

When these young and strong people became successful, they would support them to return to their hometowns and make them the new nobles of the local area.

For their own interests, the emerging nobles will inevitably fight with the old nobles, and in this process, Noxus will completely assimilate this area, making it a part of Noxus, allowing the people here to forget the old order and be incorporated into the order of Noxus.

Because Noxus had been successful in its conquests before, this trick was naturally tried and tested. People in the conquered areas might hate Noxus, but they were often envious of those who "achieved success and returned home in glory under the Noxian order."

However...

The problem this time was that the Noxians lost in Ionia.

They lost quite thoroughly.

The young and middle-aged people who were transferred from Besilico did not become the advanced representatives of Noxus who returned home in glory, but became small boxes, which plunged the entire Besilico into endless grief...

Noxus is like a huge war machine. When it is running at full speed, it can often rush faster and faster, but after it turned over in Ionia, the result is also a mess.

In this case, the separation of the people of Besilico and Noxus has also become a kind of inevitability.

Noxus said that war is an opportunity to seek wealth.

But in fact, the war only brought endless death - and considering that the Ionian War was an absolute war of aggression, invading other countries, leaving their homes, losing the war, and having no merits, this was a psychological blow to all the participants.

So, the Durren family, who had always been quite submissive before, finally had a different mindset this time.

Kalya's Little Classroom: Noxus's Firewood:

From the perspective of fairness, Noxus did a good job most of the time.

But what is hard to accept is that the "fairness" of this huge military empire is too cruel. The strong are certainly rewarded, but the weak have no choice but to die.
