Chapter 84 The first fire lit in Piltover
"Everyone, we can't make the same mistakes again. Jace has lost his mind. I think he is no longer suitable to be a councilman. I admit that Hex Technology is a great invention, and Jace is also an outstanding future star of Piltover." , but what has he done now? ”
"Because of him, we brought down Professor Heimerdinger. I thought he was going to develop the Hex weapon to make Piltover powerful. Well, he didn't want to. He thought Hex was used to improve Piltover." Mrs. Wolf's quality of life, rather than being a weapon for Piltover to invade others, I understand."
Salo spread his hands and said solemnly: "But what about now?"
"We have become the violated party. If he is willing to hand over Hex Technology, how can we be so passive now?"
"I propose to force Jace to hand over Hextech, and at the same time we must agree to allow Ambesa to settle in Piltover"
"Saro, I wanted to ask you something before." Mel suddenly tapped the table and interrupted Salo with a calm expression.
Salo looked over, and all the congressmen also turned their attention to Mel.
She looked at Salo and said, "When did you start colluding with my mother?"
"Was it after she came to Piltover, or before she came to Piltover? I have no doubt that my mother has such means, but you, and Polpok, do you really regard me as Are you an idiot? ”
"Mel, I don't understand what you are talking about." Salo frowned.
"What am I saying? Don't you know better than me?" Mel stood up, her gorgeous clothes covered her proud body, her face was gloomy, and the golden nails under her eyes were very beautiful, and her facial muscles moved. stand up.
"Is it such a coincidence that Jess and I rejected her idea in the council and drove her away, but then a group of Zaun came to Pi City and launched a terrorist attack? More than thirty people died. The people of Piltover all died in the place where they connected with Zaan, and they even left Zaan clothes on the scene, which is like telling everyone that this thing was done by Zaan people.”
"But based on what I know about Zaun, they will indeed come to the upper city to cause destruction, but the biggest one so far was when Crazy Blue blew up Jace's building and stole the Hex gems and manuscripts. Several law enforcement officers who happened to be patrolling nearby were affected by the explosion, causing the death of the law enforcement officers.”
"But is that explosion comparable to this incident?"
"The graffiti that Crazy Blue left behind at the scene is because she is a madman. What is the name of the Zaan clothes left behind by this incident?"
Mel's eyes were fixed on Salo, "Don't forget, my surname is Medalda. I know better than you, the methods of the Noxians, and my mother's personality!"
"Absurd words!"
"This is what the people want!" Salo retorted, raising his voice: "Member Myrdalda, please go see the people for yourself and listen to their voices!
How did we get here in the past three days? You know very well that we have lost credibility among the people. The legislators who serve them do not explain or respond to the terrorist attacks. What is the need for us to exist like this? ! ”
"I think Mel's guess makes sense." Gila Mann said softly,
"This thing is such a coincidence, it's like someone is pushing it behind the scenes. The Zaans may have a lot of things wrong with them, but I don't think they would kill civilians in Piltover. This is not something they can do. ”
"Actually, I think you and Mel thought that Zu An was too kind. Za An killed the law enforcement officer when he resisted and rioted. This is a fact. Everyone has seen it. They privately modified the water pipes to form autonomy. This is also a fact. Everyone in Piltover knows.”
"Don't these things prove that Zuan is no longer the Zuan we imagined?" Another council member said solemnly.
After hearing this, Councilor Hoskal nodded in agreement and expressed his position: "That's right, Mel. Pi City will not allow invasion of the upper city or interference in politics. Our great citizens have already done this for us. We have made a statement, we refuse to give in, and the tragic sacrifices and lost interests will only bring us more unity.”
"Our once friends, Zaun, are now enemies, and they must answer for their shameful violation of Piltover."
"I understand what you are thinking. I also think this incident is too coincidental, but we must also give the people an answer. From the last law enforcement officer who went down to the city and was killed to this sudden attack. Even if it is behind the scenes, Someone is driving all this, so what do you think we should do now? ”
Hoskar looked at Mel meaningfully and continued:
"Or should we tell the people that this was actually done by the Noxians, not the Zaans, Mel, do you think they will believe it?"
"Public opinion has been pushed, and the people no longer care who did this. What they want now is that Zaun cannot climb onto the head of Piltover. Do you understand what I mean?"
After Hoskar finished speaking, he looked at Mel quietly.
Mel took a deep breath.
Then, she sat down dejectedly, put her head in her hands and said, "But after defeating Zaun, what will happen after we win this war?"
"We and Zaun will both lose, and she, she will take everything away from Piltover."
"You don't know her at all, and you don't know what she can do for her own benefit!"
Mel said painfully.
"That's something to consider later. As Salo said, she wants to use us, but why can't we use her to solve Zaun?" Hoskal said.
"Using Noxus?" Mel raised his head and looked at Hoskal, suddenly feeling that this congressman with whom he had a good relationship was so unfamiliar.
"Ambesa is a wolf who failed in the political struggle and was driven out by Noxus. But even so, the troops she brings now can easily swallow up Piltover. If you use her, let's not talk about the failure. , even if you succeed, how will you face Noxus’ revenge?”
"Noxus can kill its own people, but it will never allow outsiders to kill their own people. Do you understand?"
"Okay, Mel."
"You really praise Noxus too much."
The MPs spoke to Mel one after another.
Mel stopped talking because there was no point in saying anything now.
Piltover has changed, which can be seen from the former seven-member parliament, to the eight-member parliament, and now to the six-member parliament.
They themselves are in chaos.
Even Councilor Gila Mann stopped talking and acquiesced in this action.
Mel knew what Councilor Gila Mann thought. She did support the peaceful coexistence of the two cities, but she would not really support Zaun's independence and autonomy.
Because the Giraman family controls Zaun's ventilation ducts, although it is impossible to know how the Giraman family operates it, and few people in the two cities know about it, it is not a secret to the councillors.
Therefore, Zaun's autonomy will harm the interests of the Gilaman family.
This congressman may be kind, but she still thinks more about her family's personal interests.
So
Mother, are you satisfied?
Your plan succeeded.
Mel stretched out her hand to rub the corners of her eyebrows, and then she suddenly stood up and left the meeting without saying a word. Horskar looked at her, opened his mouth, then closed it again, lowering his eyes.
Councilor Gila Mann stood up, and just as he was about to speak, Salo said dissatisfied: "Don't worry about her!"
He muttered: "What the hell! She is indeed very rich and talented, but where are her qualifications? Ever since she became a member of Parliament, she has been forming cliques, as if she is the one who said Piltover's Parliament It’s the same, but in my opinion, she is just a foreigner.”
"Saro, you really went too far." Hoskal opened his eyes and looked at Salo.
"Sorry, I made a mistake." Salo sat back indifferently.
"Well, everyone, let's discuss now how to subdue the thugs in the bottom city."
——————
Late at night, a group of people standing guard at the Dance Corridor Bridge in Zu'an yawned and glanced at the dim bridge. They played poker out of boredom.
Since some time ago, the Bridge of Progress has stopped operating. This bridge, which connects the lowest point in Piltover and the highest point in Zaun, has never been lowered again. Whether it is Zaan or Piltover, if you want to go to the other side again If you are in a different city, you can only go to each other's city by taking a screamer machine, or going to each other's city from vertical buildings and elevators.
But Zu An doesn’t care. After all, everything is getting better in Zu An now.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Who the hell cares about going to Piltover?
That place has never treated the people of Zaun as human beings. They treat them as inferiors or directly as dogs. Now that Zaun can keep them alive, they don't want to suffer in Pi Lao's territory.
Therefore, the suspension of use of the bridge is actually a good thing for Zaun.
"I plan to apply to go to the ditch in a while. What about you?"
Among the Zuan people sitting in a group, a man holding a cigarette said.
"Well, I want to go there too, but haven't the Lianhua Gang stopped recruiting people recently? I heard that it's very difficult to become a member of the Lianhua Gang. You have to take an exam."
"My application was approved last time. The local law enforcement officer is much better than looking at the people of Piltover every day. Last time I almost couldn't help but throw a grenade and blow up those bastards. Damn it, they thought Is Zu An the former Zu An and he still dares to look at us like that?”
"Ha, they dare to do this, damn it, but what happened to them saying we killed their people?"
"You damn people who killed them, how can anyone in Zaan go to Piltover now? Don't pay attention to them, they are just talking nonsense."
A group of people were discussing. During this period, a Zaun man was in a hurry to urinate. Then, he arrived at the edge of the bridge and prepared to relax facing the sea.
Just as he took off his pants and looked around boredly, he suddenly spotted a ray of light.
Then more and more light.
Blinking, the Zaun man squinted his eyes and saw that the light became bigger and bigger, rushing straight to the side of the bridge, like something being ejected.
Then
"Poof——!!!"
"Ahem!"
He coughed violently and felt his eyes sting, while the Zaun people playing cards on the other side also covered their mouths and noses.
"Enemy-" A Zaun man reacted quickly, stood up and roared loudly, but the next moment, a spear flew over from the other side of the bridge, penetrated his body, and nailed him to death. on the ground.
"Duogu!"
The Zaun people on the side widened their eyes and looked at their fallen comrades next to them in horror.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Send the flare quickly!"
"Click!"——The Bridge of Progress made a loud rumble.
Zaun does not have the right to control the bridge. It is Mrs. Piltover's decision to open or close it.
But now, the originally closed bridge was slowly lowered, and the blue signal light turned on on the sea in the middle of the night.
Red armor and blue law enforcement officer's clothes alternate with each other.
Accompanied by the incendiary bombs fired from the barrel by law enforcement officers.
On the side belonging to Zaun, a fire was lit, the tent was set on fire, and the fire oil was boiling and burning on the ground.
Piltover lit the fire.
Then, a small flame quickly rushed into the sky from Zu'an.
"Crack!"
When it reached the highest point, the flames exploded, forming a blue firework pattern. It was a smiling face, a big, evil smiling face.
The fireworks formed a long blue braid, a pink mouth, and a big smile with the corners of the mouth raised upward.
This is Zaun's signal flare.
"Sons of Noxus!"
The moment the bridges came together, the white-haired woman at the front raised her weapon high and swung it forward with a roar.
"Suppress the thugs, find the criminals, and bring justice to our allies in Piltover!"
"Kill!!!"
Blood rushed towards Zu An.
