i highly doubt demacia would even realy want to protect piltover, seeing hextech as magic, and the long distance, they probobly have very little reason to.
if anything, i would expect them to fortify thier own place as much as possible, in case noxus does prevail, and they would then go for them. and even with heztech, i would assume demacias anti-magic city would help with that-but not completely disable it. as it is different from normal magic. i think it would probobly weaken the heztech, but not completely disable it. that said, because heztech isn't "full" magic, even with alot of it, it might not be enough to wake up galio-or it might, i could be wrong(assuming noxus would not bring much magic of thier own, knowing full and well it will be disabled).
maybe could wake up
if need be, but only if the situation is dire enough-considering her circumstances.
as for piltover, i would assume
would probobly wait for a moment when noxus and piltover are weakened, to try and bring both sides to thier knees-to have his ideal of strength on both sides-rather than one, if given the oppertunity.
could theoretically defend piltover, but i think it's more likely that she would try to cause as much chaos as possible. she already likes creating as much chaos as possible in piltover-but with a war going on, that'd be like a playground for her, she'd have the time of her life.
as for zaun, could be either way. i could see a bunch of internal conflict between people of both piltover and zaun, about what zaun should be doin in that situation. for many, piltover is the only hope they have of not being stuck in zaun thier whole life-particularly in the slums. while those in the higher ends of zaun, might not see a need to help out-unless they feel like noxus might go after then immidiately after piltover. wether noxus decides to go after zaun afterwards, depends on if they think they got enough left in them to continue-rather than retreat. if thier weaker, i can see that being when
takes his chance. if not, i could see zaun starting to panic, as they might not have enough to stop noxus.
but even if zaun does decide to help, there might just be too much internal conflict to win with. between
seeing this as a chance to "cure" many people, enough blood to make
be a constant presence, the chem barons and thieves that are common in the slums of zaun using the war to make stealing alot easier amidst the chaos,
wanting to bring everyone to thier knees,
causing chaos nonstop, i think it would be much less of a war, and more of complete anarchy. granted, there would be some who would definetilly want to help out, like
, and maaaaaaaaaaaybe
, and pretty much all the rest of piltover, but with all the chaos that would be sure to ensue on thier side, i dont think they would be able to hold up against noxus, but i bet they'd put up a fight for sure.
but, this is all assuming noxus would invade piltover in the first place. we all know it's a goal of thiers, but they need to find an opening, thats why they tried to get that map made in the story we saw when
came out-along with all the other piltover lore. as as we saw,
caught em before they could get it back. noxus is probobly constatly trying to find some way to map out a plan(hehe, pun), but knowing how good piltovers forces are at that stuff, rather than raw strength, they probobly wont get that chance for a looooong time. they'd have to be pretty cunning to get past the eyes of these guys
(etc), the only one who could really has been
, and i doubt
would be interested in handing over info to noxus, unless tricked. that said, she probobly wouldn't have any info to begin with, other that "blow up stuff" knowing her. noxus needs that chance first, and piltover's gonna do everything they can not to let em have it. the only way i could see that happening is if piltover's peeps got too caught up with something like
and got disracted. which to be fair, is not an umcommon occurance. however, i dont think it would take all of piltover just to handle jinx, they probobly have
for example look out for that kind of stuff while
handle jinx, maybe vice versa sometimes.
but, it is fun to speculate if it ever does get past them like in this post x3.
also pardon my spelling/grammer, i know im bad at it xP.
