Chapter 231 [0229] The Betrayed Service Officer

There is no doubt that the decision to betray Noxus must be related to the Durren family - but in addition to this, Ino has another question.

What about the garrison in Besilico?

You know, Besilico is currently stationed by a Noxian warband. Considering the city's critical geographical location, the number of garrisons is probably quite large. In this case, if Besilico wants to leave Noxus, it must deal with the local garrison.

The Durren family can influence the people of Besilico, but they may not be able to control this army. The Noxian warband has always been self-contained and does not rely on local logistics. The local snakes cannot influence the warbands stationed locally.

And if you want to control (or at least appease) these Noxian garrisons, you must have a guy with enough weight.

In Besilico, the one who can do this is either the legion commander (military commander) of the local garrison warband or the service officer (executive chief) of Besilico. Even if it is not these two, it must be their deputies.

This kind of question involving core figures is quite secretive, but it is not difficult for Ino to find out - just look at these two guys and see which one knows about the news of repairing the city wall and hoarding supplies.

Preparations for rebellion must not be told to loyal ministers!

Here, Kalya found a secret logical chain - Ino knew that the Besilico people wanted to rebel; but the Besilico people did not know that Ino knew.

Therefore, they must receive Ino and the construction team of Zaun on the premise that "Ino did not know that Besilico was going to rebel".

In this case, Ino can completely hope that the Durren family will contact for an audience under the guise of cooperation.

In order to prevent Ino from revealing information that should not be disclosed, the Durren family will inevitably lead her to meet the one who cooperated with the Durren family and planned to betray Noxus.

So, Ino found the patriarch of the Durren family openly, and on the grounds that "Zaun needs to earn foreign exchange", he hoped to contact the local governor of Besilico, and it would be best to get some preferential policies and treatment.

After being polite, the patriarch of the Durren family finally said that he could introduce Besilico's service officer, Quelleta Vane, to Ino.

"You are both successful ladies, I believe you will get along well." The old fox said with a smile, "But Ms. Quelleta is more serious, I hope Miss Ino will not take it too seriously..."

……………………

To put on a good show, Ino and Kalya really sorted out a lot of "cooperation drafts" overnight.

In order to finally confirm whether this Quelleta was the one who cooperated with Durren and betrayed the Noxians, she left a few clauses in the cooperation draft that the other party could play - such as the "maritime transportation cooperation" that seemed to be competing with Piltover for business on the surface, but actually provided additional logistical support to Besilico.

If Quelleta had no other thoughts, these clauses would be just ordinary business cooperation, and there would be no problem.

Once Quelleta had the intention of raising the flag of rebellion, these cooperation projects would become an important strategic channel for Besilico!

With this draft, Ino met with the highest executive officer of Besilico, Quelleta Vane, in the service officer's office the next day.

As Chief Duren said, this is a serious woman - her expression is firm and resolute. Although she has only one arm, her style of doing things is as clean and neat as a soldier. Even when she saw the overly young Ino, she did not show any surprise.

After a simple greeting, the two iceberg-like women started a semi-official negotiation on the Besilico Zaun trade issue.

During the negotiation, Quelleta didn't say much, but she always got to the point. If it weren't for Karya's help, I'm afraid Ino would not be this woman's opponent at all!

After an afternoon of verbal battles, the two sides reached some basic consensus on cooperation and exchanged opinions in depth on Ino's draft - in other words, the negotiation did not have any substantial effect.

But it doesn't matter.

From Quelleta's emphasis on these terms, Ino and Karya finally came to a firm conclusion.

Quelleta was the one who cooperated with the Durren family and wanted to betray the Noxians!

Even though she was calm, she did not let go of any of the hooks that Ino prepared in the draft, and she bit them all.

But how could a local governor control and appease the Noxian warband stationed in Besilico?

While Ino was arguing with Quelleta about the "cooperation terms" one by one, he began to inquire about the background and identity of this lady through various channels (in fact, mainly through the eldest son of the Durren family, who was uneducated but quite knowledgeable about gossip).

Then, she got a very shocking news.

Quelleta was also from Besilico. She joined the Noxian army when she was a teenager, and she was considered a military man.

In the Ionian War that just ended, she served Noxus, but ended up losing an arm - as for how she lost her arm, no one knew.

As for the regiment stationed in Besilico, it is said that it was reassembled from many regiments that returned to the rear for recuperation and reorganization during the Ionian War.

Well, now all the clues are connected.

The failure of the Ionian War weakened Noxus' control over the local area, and the local snake of the Durren family began to stir.

And Quelleta, a veteran who participated in the Ionian War, also became dissatisfied with Noxus for some reason - although the reason here is unclear, it is not difficult to understand. After all, according to the news from the Shadow Stream, Noxians always like to drag themselves down - then, the two sides hit it off.

Because the local garrison already has many old subordinates of Quelleta, even if the local legion commander may not participate in it, they are still confident of controlling the garrison.

"So, if we want to cause some trouble for the Noxians, we should contact Quelleta, right?" Ino concluded, "She is the one who can help us?"

"Why not the Durren family?" Karya tested, "His control over Besilico is far greater than Quelleta."

"They surrendered to Noxus when they saw the situation was not good. If there is a first time, there will be a second time." Now Ino is no longer the timid country girl following behind Lux. This reliable white-haired girl gave the answer very confidently, "In the whole incident, as long as the Durren family is careful enough, Noxus should not be able to do anything to him now - in comparison, Quelleta is the one who has absolutely no way out!"

Karya's small class·The reshuffle of the Ionian War:

The Ionian War was one of the most tragic wars Noxus had ever fought. During the period, many war groups were broken up and reorganized, and the Noxus military also suffered a major reshuffle.
