Chapter 283 Union
"war"
"Piltover will have to go through war one day."
"The war that happened in Zaun is not that it has nothing to do with us, but it could befall us at any time."
In the past, the worried and insightful people of Piltover shouted loudly in the newspapers, but they failed to attract the attention of the citizens. In view of the long-term poor relationship between Piltover and Zaun, people were always concerned about this. This war taking place so close at hand showed indifference.
Especially those who came from Zaun's slave miners may feel a little gloating when they see Zaun's misfortune.
But now that the war is really coming, and there is no chance of turning around, people realize what a true insight it is.
The wolf is really coming
The members of Piltover's Citizens' Assembly Committee were sitting on a round table made of precious purple-red solid wood dracaena, with their backs leaning on soft velvet armchairs. Phoenix, a big businessman from the famous Phoenix Alchemy Shop, almost frowned. It can hang down to the table, while Havana, the owner of a large number of ships at sea, is tapping his legs and looking at the ceiling. You don't know what this guy with hundreds of ships at sea is thinking about.
"This is a personal letter from Turatan, the commander of the Noxian army. His army is under the cliff and may launch an attack at any time. He asked us to surrender and let his army march into Pi City. Think about it. , how to reply to him."
The Speaker of the Parliament, Vieira Ferros, shook a piece of paper and passed it to Phoenix. The old Phoenix took the letter with a sad face.
"Then what's the answer?"
砰
The solid wood round table of the Dragon Blood Tree was knocked loudly.
Havana's burly body stood up,
"Where is the envoy? Let them get lost. Let him go back and tell Turatan. Let them start a war to gather the city guards and recruit more soldiers. Pi City has never been afraid of war."
"My fleet is parked in the harbor and can support you at any time."
Havana had two pistols stuck on the left and right sides of his round waist. When he was angry, the beard on the corners of his lips was blown up, just like his nickname in Pi City, "Red Bearded Pirate" ". Yes, Havana was born a pirate, there was nothing taboo about it, and he never denied it.
But it is impossible for him to compromise with the Noxians. Many people know that Havana actually comes from Belisico, the famous seaport city, but now in the hands of the Noxians, his parents and All relatives died in that war.
And after he became a pirate, he had been working hard to fight the Noxians on the sea. Until now, when he arrived in Piltover, he had never given up this hatred.
Therefore, no matter who in this city surrendered to Noxus, he was the only one who could not.
He is the most determined militant in the city.
But if some people choose to fight, there must be others who choose to compromise.
Phoenix read Turatan's letter tremblingly and screamed:
"No, don't expel the messenger"
"Do we still have a chance to turn things around?" He turned his head to look at Vieira Ferros, and then saw the other party shaking his head, with disappointment written on his face.
"But there's no need to close the door to negotiations, right? That's not what a gentleman should do."
"War is just a continuation of interests. Even if we start a war, we must leave a door open for the future."
Humph
Havana looked at the compromisers with disdain. He felt that Piltover was always hampered in its progress because of such old guys.
The old guy could see his sarcasm and turned to him:
"Young man, when you get to my age you will know that you should never be too eager for war, it will destroy you."
Of course Havana doesn't believe this.
As a former pirate, war is their means of survival. The reason why he can stand here is that every gold coin on his body was given to him by the war. He plundered everything from the war, hatred, wealth and strength, and finally came here. , he is certainly not afraid of war.
But the problem is that most people in the city except him are afraid of war, and that's a fact.
Pi City is now prosperous because of peace. Once it falls into war, everything here will be reduced to nothing.
War takes away everything.
No one wants this.
But, this is where the contradiction lies.
At the resistance headquarters, Victor stood in front of a huge projection crystal. Looking at the projection inside the projection crystal, a proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He had not been so happy for a long time:
"Old guy, I didn't expect you to be here today. I bet you didn't expect this day when you took me out of the Magic Academy."
Opposite the projection crystal stood two people, Heimerdinger and Jace.
"Okay Victor, you are a smart man. There is no need to be like this. The current situation is that sooner or later, Zaun and Piltover will unite. Let us not dwell on the past and maintain some grace, Sir Victor."
"No, Jess, if I am willing to maintain my grace in front of others, but today, in front of you two old acquaintances, I don't need that kind of thing. You have to admit that I won, yes, I won.
I gained power with my theory. Whether you admit it or not, I used the power gained from glorious evolution to resist the Noxian attack and protect Zaun and Piltover. "
"I am the guardian of Zaun and Piltover."
"God said that those who once slandered and hated me will eventually fall at my feet. I finally see it now, so I am very happy."
"In the face of this level of happiness, even if you lose a little bit of grace occasionally, what does it matter?"
Victor laughed, a pair of dark red magic eyes flashing constantly, looking at the little figure opposite, Heimerdinger, looking crazy.
Victor, Heimerdinger, Jess and others who had their grudges and disputes over ideas at the Magic Academy finally came to an understanding today. With the other party bowing to him, who can understand him at this moment? The joy in my heart.
This was perhaps the happiest moment in his life.
"Okay, okay, it's over, Victor"
"I apologize to you. I admit that I was wrong at the beginning. I admit that I was too arbitrary and denied your theory. You are a genius, and driving you out of Piltover Magic Academy may be the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life. "
"But you have to allow me to make mistakes."
"Everyone makes mistakes."
"What's more, I am getting old, and everyone will get old. You have to learn to forgive an old man for the mistakes he has made."
"Now, let's bury the past and start over, Victor"
"Reconnect us with your strength and wisdom, you know we need you."
Heimerdinger said.
With the understanding between Heimerdinger and Viktor, it meant that Zaun and Piltover, two forces that hated each other, were finally coming together.
