Chapter 261 [0259] Seeking Help

After learning the news of the massive Noxian attack from Jace, Victor was stunned for a moment.

"Now let's go to the laboratory first. The newly repaired laboratory is relatively safe." Jess urged anxiously, "I don't know what the situation outside is like now..."

"No, I can't go to the laboratory!" Victor came back to his senses and immediately stopped him, "I want to go to Zaun!"

"Zu'an...can Zu'an be safer?" Jace was stunned for a moment, "We are not familiar with the situation in Zu'an!"

"Not to seek refuge, but to ask for help!" Victor said firmly, "I just saw the beam of light summoned by Lux, and Zaun may have realized something!"

"Requesting help from Zaun?" Victor said that Farges obviously couldn't accept it. "It's not yet time...and, will the Zaun people be willing to help? How can they help?"

"You have to give it a try." Victor took a deep breath and looked at Jace with extremely calm eyes. "If Piltover is occupied by Noxus, Zaun will not be spared."

This kind of question was obviously a bit out of line for Jace, and he subconsciously looked at Mel.

And Mel was hesitant.

Noxus sent troops to Piltover, and Mel naturally stood firmly on Piltover's side.

But if it were Noxus and Zaun, her psychological balance would favor Noxus without hesitation.

Mel doesn't like Zaun and has no favorable impression of Zaun at all. As a member of Councilor Jace, if he asks for help from Zaun, what will happen if the Zaunites don't leave?

However, after a moment, she couldn't help but laugh.

If Zaun doesn't leave, he has to defeat the Noxians!

In Mel's view, the current Piltover, even if Noxus really attacks with all its strength, is not without the ability to protect itself. The current turmoil is entirely due to the appearance of traitors within, including two or five young men. Something is happening here!

Even if they asked Zaun for help, it would only allow them to hold on for a short period of time to prepare for Piltover to gather troops and defend and counterattack.

Thinking of this, she nodded slightly towards Jace.

Jace was obviously relieved after receiving the answer - although Jace is now a qualified member of parliament, his vision level is really limited, and the chaos in the dark night is too complicated for him. Now with Mei I'm sure he has a foundation.

"You can ask for help, but you can't go." Jace looked at Victor, "I'll go see Miss Lux in person - I don't ask her to come personally. As long as Miss Ino can come to help, it's enough to bring a team of law enforcement officers. !”

"Let me tell you." Victor hesitated for a moment, "Forget it, let's go together. In this situation, the Zaun people may not lend a helping hand easily."

"Your body?"

"I'm not too weak!" Victor snorted, "Don't worry, I still know what to do about this kind of thing."

……………………

Although Caitlin took away almost all the law enforcement officers, she didn't even take away the people guarding the elevator - after revealing their identities, Jace and his group used the elevator smoothly and arrived at Zaun. .

And almost as soon as the elevator landed, the cabin door just opened, and many dark guns were already pointed at them.

"Who?!" The Zaun law enforcement officers surrounding the elevator were led by none other than Wei, who had just informed Lux ​​of the news and returned to regroup here, "Zun is under martial law, please explain your identity!"

"Piltover Councilor, Jess Tallis."

"It's me, Victor, don't be nervous, Vi!"

Hearing these two voices and seeing these familiar figures walking out of the hatch, Wei finally relaxed a little and gestured to the law enforcement officers to put down their weapons and maintain basic alert.

"What are you doing in Zu'an?"

"I want to see Miss Lux." Jace went straight to the point, "Piltover suffered a shameless sneak attack and is currently in need of support!"

"Then come with me." Wei glanced at the hammer in Jace's hand, and then nodded, "But before entering the municipal building, you have to leave this hammer with me."

"Okay." Jace didn't care much about this, "I will remove the energy core."

In this way, following Wei's footsteps, the group arrived at the municipal building.

When they arrived, Lux had already come down from the roof. When Vi reported the news, she was looking at a map and discussing Zaun's next move with Kalya.

Regarding this Noxus sneak attack, Kalya's judgment was very clear - although he did not know the specific sneak attack process, what is certain is that this is definitely not a large-scale all-out war.

Unless the Noxians have lost their minds from top to bottom, they absolutely should not attack Piltover when Besilico has just rebelled!

Since it is not a full-scale attack, the range of judgment on the Noxians' strategic intentions can be greatly narrowed.

Either they had reached a consensus with the Piltover Plutocrats and their goal was to overthrow Camille's rule; or they had the intention of grabbing and running away or trying to frighten the dissenters, and they took advantage of the night to cause trouble.

Even if the Noxians are really determined this time to let Piltover raise the flag of the Noxian Empire...then they will never be able to cross thousands of miles and parachute a set of weapons from the Immortal Fortress. Officials from high-level to lower-level officials came.

That is to say, even if Piltover is annexed, the current situation will remain the same in the short term, just like Belgune and Uzeris, which were annexed by Noxus more than a decade ago.

After confirming this, Kalja combined what he and Ino had seen in Besilico, continued to analyze in depth, and made many firm judgments:

First, the Noxians do not have many troops, and the number of participants in this raid should not exceed 10,000.

The basis for Kalja's judgment is that the Noxians usually conduct military operations in the form of warbands, and except for the warband led by the garrison commander, the scale of other warbands is at most 10,000-and considering that this is a sneak attack with internal support, and it is not a complete occupation of digestion, it is almost impossible for the Noxians to send multiple warbands to cooperate like the Ionian War.

Especially when Besilico just rebelled.

Then, after determining that the Noxians are likely to have only one warband as the main force, the number of Noxian spellcasters will probably not be too many.

Unless the Noxians were determined to make an example of someone else and directly sent a mage corps to Piltover... No, it was impossible. If the Noxians really prepared a complete mage corps, they would not have to take off their pants and fart to launch a sneak attack!

With a complete mage corps, they could land on a deserted coast outside the west or east of Piltover, and then march all the way to Piltover with a large number of spellcasters coordinating spells to crush all those who disobeyed. This is the best deterrent.

Moreover... Will Noxus, which has just experienced an Ionian war and is not at peace internally, really dispatch a complete mage corps thousands of miles away?

Based on the above inferences, Kalja made the judgment that this Noxian raid was not fatal to Piltover, and it was even an opportunity for Zaun!

"So, you're thinking of your siege again?" Feeling Kalya's eagerness, Lux pressed her forehead helplessly, "It's impossible to achieve in a hurry!"

"No, it's not the siege of Noxus!" Kalya laughed, "It's to take back the Gate of the Sun!"

"You want to take advantage of the fire?"

"This is called brothers fighting against each other, defending against external insults!" Kalya obviously disagreed with Lux's statement, "Lady Camille is a very thoughtful person, but from the current point of view, not every Piltover woman can understand her ideas."

"But this is still taking advantage of someone's misfortune!"

"If Zaun doesn't take action, can Piltover survive on its own?" Kalya asked back, "It's better for us to stand by and let the Piltover people face the premeditated raid of Noxus, and let Piltover become a colony with compradors like Uzeris and Beljuin, or take this opportunity to smash the shackles and take back the Gate of the Sun?"

Lux pouted.

Although from a personal moral perspective, Zaun's move at this time is somewhat like taking advantage of someone's misfortune, but as Kalya said, compared to becoming a colony of Noxus or being killed to scare the monkeys, the result of Zaun's move is better.

"But can we really confront a Noxian warband head-on?" Putting aside his concerns for the time being, Lux quickly thought of another question, "The entire Zaun, including militia reserves, law enforcement officers, caravan guards, and all trained people, I'm afraid the total number is less than 5,000. Using these people to fight a Noxian warband..."

"No problem!" Kalya's tone was full of confidence, "In war, the number of people does not represent everything, especially when we have a professional mage group."

"Mage group?" Lux finally reacted and widened his eyes, "You mean... magic training class? They have only studied for three years and have just completed enlightenment!"

"My dear Miss Laxana, you seem to have some wrong and distorted perceptions of magic teaching." Noticing Lux's surprise, Kalya laughed, "My teaching, even if it is only three years of correspondence courses, is enough to equal the lifelong closed-door training of ordinary mages-not to mention, these children have undergone multi-person simulation training!"

Lux was stunned.

"Multi-player simulation training is for mages to cast spells together." Kalya continued, "Besides, we don't have to confront the Noxians head-on - gather people, we need to prepare a complete battle plan."

At this time, the secretary sent a message.

"Miss Wei brought a new guest, he claimed to be a councilman of Piltover, named Jace Talis, and hoped to ask for help."

"Look." Kalya smiled even more happily, "Our chance has come!"

Kalya's small classroom·Multi-player simulation training:

This mode allows more than one spellcaster to train in the same illusion - however, due to Kalya's ability limitations, when the trainer's magic power and magic control reach a certain level, this kind of training cannot be carried out.
