League of Legends Millennium Warlord

Piltover, clock tower, Noxian calendar year 978.

The seven members of the parliament gathered in the clock tower conference room, their expressions solemn and dignified, not half as relaxed as before the arrival of Evolution Day.

Law enforcement officer Sheriff Morrison and Deputy Sheriff Grayson were in uniform, standing upright in the secondary seats, with tense expressions.

"I think Chief Morrison can reiterate the Zaun people's unreasonable demands to other council members, so that everyone will not understand the seriousness of the matter."

The middle-aged female congressman sitting on the seven seats has a mean voice, and her raised eyebrows are as sharp as a gryphon.

"Members of Congress, please allow me to state the demands of the Zaun people here."

Morrison held his chest in front of him, lowered his head slightly, and looked serious.

"In the most prosperous dark alley of Zaun, the gang led by Fandel united with other Zaun gangs, persuaded the three alchemy barons to form an alliance with their interests, and entrusted envoys to submit a request to the law enforcement officers for negotiations with the Parliament.

These Zaunites asked the Council to allow them to form their own Zaun Guard to maintain the order of Zaun, reject any interference by law enforcement officers in Zaun, and demand that the Zaunites can become part of Piltover without restrictions or discrimination. The elements were granted free access to the Sungate Bridge and went to Piltover to work.

In addition, they also requested that Zaun’s factory obtain independent operating and distribution rights, reformulate the business cooperation plan between Zaun and Piltover, and obtain equal status in commercial cooperation.

The Zaunites asked the Council to publicly declare Zaun's independent status one month later on Evolution Day. "

After Morrison finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room became terrifyingly heavy.

"Can I understand that this is a threat?"

The male congressman squinted his eyes and looked around, with the corners of his mouth turned downward, like a night owl that couldn't eat bugs.

"Chief Morrison, I want to know, if we don't agree to the Zaun people's unreasonable demands, will these dirty Undercity people still stretch out their bloodthirsty fangs towards us?"

After a moment's hesitation, Morrison nodded.

"Although they did not make any threats openly, based on my attitude towards them, if we reject their demands, they may launch a protest on Evolution Day."

"Protest? No, Sheriff Morrison, you are wrong. In my opinion, there is no doubt that this is motivated by greed for wealth and is the most shameful betrayal!"

Cora, the female congressman who just started speaking, said with a sneer.

“The people of Downtown have forgotten who gave them a job to make a living, who fed them, clothed them, and enjoyed the goods produced in Piltover.

They forgot who paid for the repairs to their dirty city a hundred years ago when Zaun suffered a subsidence disaster.

They are like stupid goldfish who have forgotten who sent the rescue team to that poisonous ghost place to save them eight years ago.

They are always dissatisfied with what they have, they are greedy and cunning, vulgar and smelly!

Now these Zaun people regard our pity as cowardice and aggression. In my opinion, it is time to send out law enforcement officers to let the Zaun people understand how hard-won peace is. "

Listening to Korana's voiceless accusation, which was no different from scolding, Cassandra Gilaman frowned slightly. She felt that this was too much.

Her family knew her own affairs, and she knew very well that the Zaun people's demands actually had some truth to them.

The reason why Cora Bessie showed such inflammatory anger is because most of the Bessie family's interests are related to the cheap preliminary products of the Zaun Alchemy Factory.

If the Parliament really agrees to the Zaun people's conditions, the Bessey family will not be able to maintain their current high income. For the Bessey family, which lives a luxurious life, missing this part of the money is tantamount to strangling the Bessey family. neck.

"Yes, I agree with Councilor Cora's proposal. We must not compromise with these barbaric and rude bandits. Compromise will only lead to more despicable coercion. Although we love peace, we will not be afraid of war! If Zu If the An people are willing to die for their own greed, let them do it!"

The male congressman who spoke glanced past the frowning mascot Congressman Heimerdinger and looked at the other five congressmen sitting there.

"I propose that we reject the unreasonable demands of the Zaun people and send law enforcement officers to Zaun to suppress the riots and arrest the planners!"

"Then let's start voting by show of hands now."

Heimerdinger, who never liked to participate in human political activities and hated death even more, frowned and made no move. Cassandra hesitated for a moment, but also made no move. The other three councilors whose family interests were involved in Zaun raised their eyebrows. He raised his right hand.

The vote was three to three, and the most critical vote fell on the representative of the Myrdalda family. In a political sense, the political tendency of the Myrdalda family represents the will of Noxus, and their words carry more weight than other families. Heavy.

Under the gaze of everyone, the representative of the Myrdalda family shook his head and did not raise his right hand.

"I object to the use of law enforcement officers."

"Why? Councilor Pate, do we have to compromise with this group of Zaun people who don't know etiquette?"

Regarding the decision of the representative of the Myrdalda family, Councilor Cora looked puzzled. If anyone present valued honor and integrity the most, it was none other than the Myrdalda family.

The philosophy of the Myrdalda family, which originated from the Noxus Empire, is that it is "honorable to die in battle, and shameful to survive". Logically speaking, the Myrdalda family should be the toughest against the Zaans among the representatives present.

Cora's question also revealed the doubts in the minds of other congressmen, and Pate Myrdalda's face was as dark as water.

"We will not compromise with the Zaun people. Congressmen, I think you should also give due consideration to the safety of law enforcement officers."

Everyone looked at Morrison and Grayson, who had been standing there silently, wondering what Pate's intentions were.

The responsibilities of law enforcement officers have never changed since their establishment.

Law enforcement enforces the laws of the Parliament, and officials are officials of the people. The Parliament pays for law enforcement officers not to support their father, but to have a gun that can kill people.

How could the Myrdalda family really consider the law enforcement officer?

Pat continued in silence.

"Sending law enforcement officers to Zaun before the Zaun people take action will only lead to unnecessary sacrifices and aggravate the turmoil and unrest in the lower city.

Especially at this time when the Evolution Day celebration is approaching, we must act cautiously. I think you don’t want your factory in Zaun to be destroyed in revenge, right?

Therefore, instead of sending law enforcement officers to Zaun, it is better to deploy manpower at Sun Gate and Piltover to strengthen patrols and ensure public security. Of course, if the Zaun people insist on attacking us, we will defeat them without hesitation. them. "

After a second show of hands, all five people except Heimerdinger agreed.

Only Morrison and Grayson, who left the clock tower, knew that this matter would never end easily.

Zaun, Black Alley, Fulgrim Tavern.

Six large-scale gang leaders from Zaun gathered together and set a table full of beer, but no one present had any appetite.

Fandel exhaled smoke with a sullen face, suppressing his anger.

"Just now, our people sent word that the people in the parliament rejected it and issued a warning."

"Not expected."

Hilko smiled instead of angry, with a relaxed expression.

"I've seen through those 'superior people' a long time ago and I don't want them to shed any blood. They don't know what fear is. From the beginning, this battle was unavoidable."

"Pi Guy is really bullying! We just want an equal status, but we refuse even such a small request! We really think we are soft persimmons!"

Severka clenched her fists and spoke in a solemn tone.

"Boss, tell me, how should we fight this battle?"

Fandel looked at Hilko, but Hilko didn't speak. He just stared back at Fandel silently. Fandel knew the meaning in his eyes very clearly.

As a condition of opposing Hilko's further development of Purple Lichen, Fandral must use his own means to win Zaun's independent status.

"If we want Mrs. Piltover to understand the power that Zaun possesses, we must rush across the Sun Gate Bridge openly! Go to the clock tower to warn those councilors,

There is less than a month left before Evolution Day, so gather people and prepare weapons. "

"Rush into the streets of Piltover and tell Mrs. Piltover with fists that we Zaunites also have the power and courage to enjoy the Evolution Day celebrations freely, instead of being cowards who have to look down and look at people's faces before crossing a bridge!

Today's Zaun is different from the past. We have weapons and manpower. As long as we unite as one, we will definitely make Piguo scared! "

"By using fists, do you mean only using fists?"

One of the gang leaders was doubtful, so Fandel hesitated and nodded.

"Use fists and non-lethal weapons as much as possible. Don't kill anyone before the other party kills us. At least let the people of Piltover know that we are protesting for the power that should belong to us, not riot."

"Then what if Pi Guy shoots at us?"

"Then... kill him!"

Fandel said coldly.

"If Pi Guy shoots at us, he is our enemy. There is no need to show any mercy to the enemy!"

The Zaun gang members headed by Fandel reached an agreement on the next action plan and dispersed.

To Fandel's surprise, Hilko stayed alone.

"There were some things that were hard to say because there were so many people just now."

Silko stared at Fander without blinking.

"I want to know, if you fail to lead people across the Sun Gate Bridge, how will you deal with the backlash from the Piltover Council?

You know very well that the reason why they didn't attack us now is because they don't have any legitimate excuse. But if we take the lead, we will be at fault. Even if you really just want to protest and don't want to cause trouble, but you are so talkative in Pi City. Parliament, we will become heinous thugs by then.

It doesn't matter if things get done, but if it doesn't work out, what are you going to do under the pressure of the parliament? "

"Don't worry, no matter what, I will not betray Zaun's interests. If Piltover is destined to send someone to the gallows, that person must be Fander, and all the blame has nothing to do with anyone else."

Hearing this, Hilko shook his head in disappointment.

"Sure enough, I knew you would be stupid enough to hand yourself over as the last bargaining chip if you had no other choice.

You know that's not what I want to hear. I don't want a brother who is a coward who is judged by a gangster...

I have a backup plan here that can withstand the pressure from the Piltover Council without you having to go to the gallows. Do you want to hear it? "

Fandel frowned. Most of Silko's strategies were feasible, but sometimes they were a bit too radical. Therefore, he did not dare to agree directly and could only ask tentatively.

"Tell me."

“If things don’t work out, we will be cruel and bring the battlefield to Zaun’s side to see whether Mrs. Piltover dares to bleed or the Zaun people dare to fight!

Since we choose to fight to the end, we will not accept any form of unequal treaty from the Piltover people!

When the time comes, the industrial area and the black alleys will unite and use the complex environment of Zaun to deal with the law enforcement officials. If one week is not enough, it will be one month, and if one month is not enough, it will be three years. As long as it drags on, the factory will continue to strike, so that the people of Piltover will also feel it. The feeling of being blocked,

Believe me, it won't take long for the people of Piltover to realize how much they will lose by going to war with Zaun! When the time comes, the Council will definitely take the initiative to make peace with us. At that time, we will be able to gain the leadership and restore some equal rights to Zaun...

I know you don't want to increase casualties, but Fandel, you must understand that respect can only be earned by ourselves! Compromise will never win respect!

Without the courage to break a bloody head, the people of Piltover will never look down on us! "

Although he was mentally prepared, Fandel was still shocked by Hilko's determination. The most he thought about was to flex his muscles with the members of the parliament and win the approval of the parliament. However, Hilko's idea was to fight to the death. endlessly,

If it is true as Silko said, what heavy price will the Zaans pay for lacking war weapons?

If nothing else, Zaun couldn't deal with the law enforcement officer's Mauser rifle. Zaun's musket, which had a range of less than fifty meters, couldn't compete with the Mauser rifle.

A long-term war cannot be fought just by talking about it. How much food, weapons, and daily necessities can Zaun have to be self-sufficient?

Head-to-head confrontation with Piltover, who controlled the Sungate Canal channel and had no shortage of supplies, was no less than hitting an egg against a stone.

Seeing that Fandel didn't speak, Hilko continued to persuade.

"What's more, it's not that we don't have the power to compete with the law enforcement officers. As long as you give me time, I can use the purple light lichen potion to create countless warriors like Rob, so you don't need to worry that we don't have the means to fight... It’s now at this point, Fandel, we have no time to hesitate.”

Feeling that he had betrayed the Zaun people's trust in him by dragging Zaun into the quagmire of war, Fandel smiled in embarrassment.

"Hilko, give me some time to think about it."

After taking a deep look at the increasingly weak Fander, Hilko sighed, said no more, and turned to leave.
