Chapter 966 [0957] Repeating the Same Mistake
The Shurima Unification War is destined to be the next headline of Runeterra.
Although the war is currently limited to the banks of the Shurima River, even in the northern Shurima region that has not been affected by the war, the violent fluctuations in the commodity market are enough to show how seriously the locals take this war.
Everyone knows that once the banner of Shurima's unification is raised, then Nerimaj will definitely not be the end of the war.
Although the Northern Shurima City-State Federation has not yet been established due to chaotic internal conflicts and conflicts of interest, everyone can see that this must be the general trend.
However, what everyone did not expect was that the new Shurima unified army, which had been advancing all the way, quickly stagnated after arriving at the city of Nerimaj. When everyone thought it was a crushing game, the battle quickly entered a stalemate.
The most critical factor that led to this situation was the support of the Rakkor people.
Through the small sun disc, the Rakkor people created a considerable number of Transcendents, and formed a new Lahorak Guard. In the battle to defend the city, they severely damaged the New Shurima Unified Army.
Although these artificially created Beggar Ascendants used the power of Ascension very roughly, lacked coordination with each other, and often had friction with the local defenders, they still showed their impressive strength in the front battlefield, and even Nasus and Renekton went to the battlefield in person, but they failed to successfully capture Nerimaj.
They resisted the offensive from the Ascendants head-on, even if they were bare Ascendants without an Ascendant Corps, but this was still enough to make the Nerimaj people excited - considering that Transcendents can be mass-produced, under the propaganda of Governor Nerimaj, many Nerimaj people have begun to believe that "the new Shurima will rise from Nerimaj".
The Beggar Ascendants are so easy to use that the Rakkor people soon put all their energy into the research of the Beggar Sun Disc.
Due to the long-term religious rule, the magic theory level of the Rakor people is quite poor. It is already very thrilling to infuse a poor version of the ascender, and the yield rate is also frighteningly low. If it were not for the religious fanaticism, the large number of failed ascensions of the Bakkai would have caused turmoil long ago. At this time, if they want to continue to increase the use of the sun disc, it may be too late to rely on them to study it step by step.
In this case, it is very important to learn a little from the experience of the Shurima Empire.
Just when sweeping the heresy of the Sun God Cult, the Fiery Sun Cult obtained a lot of research notes and operation manuals. Although these antiques from the Shurima Empire era are old, they can be applied to the poor version of the sun disc with simple modifications, which just solves the urgent needs of the Rakor people and Narima Jie.
Compared with the ascension rituals they now master, which can easily give birth to half of the Bakkai, these ascension power application methods of the Shurima Empire era are a little more troublesome and require a lot of initial investment, but they have been proven to be effective after small-scale experiments.
For the Rakor people, this is undoubtedly a gift from heaven.
Although the top leaders of the Sun Sect and the Moon Sect knew that Bakay was born because the ascension ceremony was not complete, in order to prevent the believers from having wild thoughts, they chose to roughly label those who failed to ascend as "not pious enough" and use this unknowable method to shut everyone up.
At the same time, they had to improve the treatment of those who successfully ascended and set them up as models to minimize the impact of Bakay.
But the war situation has an endless demand for beggar version ascenders. When the number of Bakay also grows to a point that cannot be ignored, this statement is untenable - how can so many people be not pious!
At this time, there are other ways to use the sun disc, which is simply a gift from heaven.
So, the Rakkor people did not hesitate and quickly reduced the frequency of infusion of beggar version ascenders. They passed a joint resolution of multiple sects and used the reserve funds to start purchasing various materials, intending to indulge in the addiction of the Shurima Empire and win this war with the power of the sun disc.
Hum, stupid Nerimaj people think we will help them rebuild Shurima?
No, it won't be the Shurima Empire, but a brand new empire that belongs to the Rakkor people and integrates the Orthodox religion!
……………………
Karya has been paying attention to the development of the war.
Not only the war situation on the Narimaj front, but more importantly the transaction records of certain key commodities - as the regent prince of the Shurima Empire, he can be said to be well aware of the many applications of the sun disc. As long as he keeps an eye on the gem transactions including blood crystals and tea agates, he can judge the application direction of the Rakkor people.
After stalking the black market in Uzeris for a month, Karya quickly judged the purpose of the Rakkor people as expected.
Although these people are consciously hiding their tracks, the transactions of those uncommon gems are still too conspicuous. By estimating the types and quantities of gem transactions, Karya quickly confirmed that they intend to use the sun disc to create a strong gravity field.
This is a good choice. If you rely on the energy provided by the sun disc and successfully set up a strong gravity field in Narimaj, then with the current combat power of the Shurima Unified Army, it is probably unlikely that Azir will be able to take down Narimaj. Only the extraordinary can resist this kind of gravity field that increases gravity on a large scale, and the Shurima Unified Army lacks this part of combat power the most - they have a sufficient number of top-level strongmen, and the number and equipment of ordinary soldiers are also fine, but they lack elites mainly composed of extraordinary people.
Now that the main target of the Rakkor people has been confirmed, Kalya quickly started his next move.
Do you like to set up a strong gravity field?
No problem, just set it up.
But where does your energy channel go?
Considering that the sun discs are all on the Targon Peak, and Narimaj is at the foot of the mountain... Don't you plan to learn from the experience of the Shurima Empire era and empower through waterways?
Coincidentally, there is a dense water network to the west of Narimaj City and the eastern foot of the Targon Peak, which seems to be just right for carrying out the empowerment and transportation tasks.
The name of this water network is the Qianhe Drainage Project.
Its chief designer is none other than Kalya himself, who is calculating the Lakor people.
His heartbeat is fast, he is flustered, he is hot and sweaty, and his condition is extremely bad.
