Chapter 129 [0127] Press the Brakes

Kalya didn't just lie.

Although the form is great, no matter how good the current situation looks, it is just a perfect start.

That's right, judging from the results alone, in just one afternoon, Zu'an has already changed the world.

The Alchemy Baron's thugs are nothing in front of the angry workers, and the few drugged lunatics will be easily dealt with by Lux - sometimes even without Lux taking action, Sevika and Fander will teach them Be a human being.

By evening, 60% of Zaun's factories had returned to the hands of the workers, at least in name. This was because Lux had not completed a full circle in Zaun.

It seems that a bright future has appeared in everyone's eyes, and Zaun will soon become a paradise on earth.

However, after Kalya's reminder, Lux, who had a full understanding of Zaun's society and economy, knew very well that this scene of vitality and competition among all things was just a superficial phenomenon brought about by everything going well in the beginning.

Under the results, Zuan also had to face many problems.

First of all, Zaun does not yet have a complete administrative organization - although almost everyone is willing to obey Lux's orders, and to a certain extent, they are also willing to listen to Fander's words, but that's where it ends.

A giant city with a population of hundreds of thousands, and only two talkers... will inevitably fall into chaos after this impact is over!

Fortunately, the workers in Zaun themselves are united in neighborhoods and factories, and they stick to each other - their foremen are very prestigious and often literate, so they can serve as temporary grassroots organizers.

With the foremen restraining the workers, and Fandel and Silko's men keeping an eye on the chaotic black market and dark alleys, order in Zaun could be maintained for a short period of time.

Although it is not a long-term solution, at least before all the alchemy barons are completely defeated and the entire Zaun is taken over, Lux does not have to worry about this - she still has time to slowly build an organization.

More urgent than building an organization is resuming production.

Except for a few factories that have been recaptured because their production capacity is really poor and pollution is so serious that they can only be closed down, all others must resume production.

The Zaun people needed to eat, and the food purchased from Fenn and shipped back from Kumangla could not keep them going for long.

Lux has no conditions and cannot provide food to all the Zaans unconditionally. Although the food in the granary of Fulgan Tavern is being quickly distributed by foremen, this is not a long-term solution after all.

The workers of Zaun will eventually work and exchange their labor for payment.

But the problem is, with Piltover blocked, Zaun’s products can’t be sold now!

Why was it that after Fander stormed the Sun Gate, he had already eliminated many angry Alchemy Barons, but in the end it was someone like Finn who took over?

Because the Zaunians are good at making products that only Lady Piltover needs.

It is no exaggeration to say that Piltover is Zaun’s only market!

The people of Zaun are indeed hardworking and capable.

But the fruits of the labor they are good at can only be sold to Piltover - in this case, in order to survive, even if they exchange a group of alchemy barons, they will eventually have to exchange for a licking dog like Finn.

Now, a similar problem was placed in front of Lux.

Should the factory start working?

If so, who should the product be sold to?

If work doesn't start, what will everyone rely on to make ends meet after taking care of the Alchemy Baron?

Lux can inspire the usually honest workers to crush the Alchemy Baron's rule, but in the long life that follows, she can't produce food just by relying on courage!

On this issue, Fandel, who had always followed orders carefully and was reliable and capable, rarely put forward his own ideas.

……………………

"Why open up a new market? If you ask me, we should just rush to Piltover!" The continuous victory made Fander's face glow red, "With Miss Lux and Ino, get on that large construct. , rushed directly to the Gate of the Sun, wiped out the Parliament, and captured the entire Piltover!"

"How to capture Piltover?" Lux asked, "At the cost of destroying the entire Piltover?"

"Just show your power, boss!" Fandel seemed to have his own way, "The MPs of Piltover look glamorous, but in the final analysis they are just a bunch of cowards. Grayson and I As I said, there is no essential difference between the Congressman and the Alchemist Baron - as long as you lead the team, we can easily occupy the academy area and cross the Gate of the Sun, and then they will only follow your orders..."

"Then what?" Lux raised her head and looked directly at Fander, "Wharfs, factories, laboratories... Who will receive these things? Who will manage them? Who will work?"

"Everyone is happy to get back what the Piltovers stole." Fander opened his arms as if there were thousands of troops behind him, "Just like today in Zaun during the day."

"The workers who have taken back the factory can start working directly under the organization of the foreman." Lux pursed her lips, "But this method is not feasible in Piltover. Now we are attacking the Sun Gate, or we can let Piel go." It will be business as usual in Twove, or a new administrative team will need to be established - which unfortunately we do not have the ability to do now."

"There's no need to be so polite to the Piltover guys, boss." Fandel still didn't think this was a problem, "Just send out people you can trust and watch them work..."

"Think about the state of the law enforcers when they entered Zaun, Fandel." Looking at Fandel, who seemed to have returned to his youth and was obviously in a radical and fanatical state, Lux shook her head helplessly, "We are not ready for that step yet!"

"We are not those useless law enforcers!" Fandel raised his arms and showed his strong biceps, "The Piltover guys are all a bunch of soft bones..."

Lux sighed.

Fandel's state can be said to represent the state of most Zaun people.

They saw the victory, the embarrassment of the alchemist barons and their minions, the factories being taken back, and the ancient trade routes being opened up.

Violence allowed them to see the dawn of victory, and also made them somewhat path-dependent.

Rushing to the Sun Gate, occupying the parliament, seizing the seats of the members, and electing Lux as the leader, it seems that everything will be fine.

But... how can it be so easy?

According to Janna's news, many small groups have appeared in Zaun now, trying to fish in troubled waters and make zero-dollar purchases - when the Alchemist Baron escapes, they first go to their homes and take away the most valuable things, and then come back to share other "trophies" with everyone.

If we rush to the Sun Gate directly with the power of victory now, whether we can take Piltover or not is not clear, but it is certain that the civilians of Piltover will definitely suffer.

Although in the eyes of most Zaun people, as long as they are Piltover people, they should suffer, but Lux, who has also conducted an investigation in Piltover, knows very well that most of the civilians in Piltover cannot be regarded as oppressors - their labor income is within a roughly reasonable range.

They may not be friends, but at least they should not be enemies.

These Piltover civilians are not the source of Zaun's disaster, but if they send troops to Piltover now, the fanatical Zaun people will directly become the source of their disaster.

In addition, judging from the news brought back by Ekko, the people of Piltover are not completely powerless to fight back.

If they are determined to defend themselves, as long as Piltover is willing to use Hex Crystals, even if Lux drives the construct, they may not be able to break through their defense.

According to Kalja's judgment, the biggest possibility of sending troops to Piltover now is to barely advance to the canal, and then the two sides will fall into a stalemate.

Don't forget that before the rune tree was cultivated in Zaun, the energy of the construct was very limited!

And in this situation where the grassroots organization in Zaun has not been established and everyone's ideas are completely different, the only result of this confrontation across the river is that the canal will be blocked, the most innocent college area and civilian area on the south bank of Piltover will suffer, and then external interference will be attracted.

This is obviously not what Lux wants to see.

Looking at the enthusiastic Fandel, Lux simply spread out the map of Piltover and Zaun and told him in detail about her ideas.

"Compared to directly attacking the Sun Gate, I think it is more important to restore Zaun's full function as a city..."

"Moreover, it is not only the people of Piltover who are watching Piltover. If we want to really take over Piltover, we must be fully prepared and make a concerted effort..."

"Our food supply is not sufficient. Once we get into a stalemate, the situation will be unfavorable to us..."

"As for the theory of quick victory, this is completely undesirable..."

"..."

"..."

Comparing the map and data, Lux refuted Fandel's ideas one by one, and finally made him speechless.

After all, after experiencing a failed attack on the Sun Gate, Fandel still has a relatively clear understanding of the follow-up of violent actions.

So, after calming down, he completely listened to Lux's words.

Especially when Lux told some bad foremen who took advantage of the fire to rob, Fandel broke out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, he thought of Finn, the "partners" who did not follow him to the Sun Gate last time, and the series of looting by these traitors after the failure of the attack on the Sun Gate.

Yes, it is not the time yet.

Compared with directly attacking the Sun Gate, it is more important to clean up the "scabs" inside!

Realizing this, Fandel finally temporarily extinguished the idea of ​​rushing to the Sun Gate, and instead called Sevika to join him, and rushed out of Fulgrim's Tavern in anger.

Those bastards who took advantage of the fire to loot, Fandel's iron fist is coming!

Karya's small class·Zuan zero-dollar purchase:

In fact, the people of Zaun have always had a clear two-sided nature. They are hardworking and creative, but they are also often impulsive and short-sighted. When Fandel led the team to attack the Sun Gate, a large-scale zero-dollar purchase occurred inside Zaun.
