Chapter 262 [0260] Ready to Go
Jayce's request for help came just in time.
Entering Piltover as a reinforcement would minimize the resistance of the people of Piltover and avoid some unpleasant things from happening.
So, when Jayce explained his purpose and the principle of "the lips and the teeth are cold", hoping that Zaun could provide the necessary help, at least to help the Piltover Council reorganize its situation, Lux readily agreed.
Thanks to Lux's consistent image, Jayce let out a long sigh, but Mel, who had been silent beside him, felt something was wrong.
In Mel's opinion, Lux's response was too quick - except for the necessary equipment and supplies, she didn't even make any additional requests!
As we all know, free things are often the most expensive.
Lux agreed so easily, which made Mel more or less nervous, but she thought about it and didn't find any problems.
From Mel's perspective, she thought that the only thing the Zauns could get during the chaos was the confidential technology of the Joint Cooperation Laboratory, but the Joint Cooperation Laboratory was still blocked, and there were law enforcement officers watching. The Zauns' attempt to steal the technology was doomed to fail!
Following Lux's order, Zaun, which had been mobilized, quickly dispatched three law enforcement squadrons, and connected the students who had just graduated from the magic training class to the square in front of the municipal building.
This time, Lux chose to lead the team personally.
After announcing the main goal of the operation, Lux led the silent team and took the elevator to Piltover in batches.
After three years, Lux set foot on the land of Piltover again.
Unlike the investigator who left Piltover before, this time, Lux played a completely different role from the past.
……………………
When the reinforcements from Zaun arrived, the whole of Piltover was finally in chaos.
At the Capitol, Swain's lieutenant failed to seize the door and could only force an attack. A fierce battle broke out between the two sides at the gate. The people of Piltover, with their inferior manpower and insufficient equipment, relied on the relatively small space and the newly built breastwork to barely resist the attack of the Noxians.
At the Stillwater Prison, Swain had already taken the prison and reached a second demon deal with Lamer. At this time, he was leading Draven and Tamara, who were rescued from the prison, to the south and headed straight for the Piltover Academy of Science and Progress.
Although the news from the lieutenant had arrived and Swain also knew that the attack on the Capitol was not going well, he did not intend to meet up directly.
This was not because Jace had escaped with Mel and the Midalda family had not been completely brought under control.
In Swain's view, Jace and Mel are not important, because with Tamara's reminder, he finally understood the difference between Piltover and other places - as a relatively "progressive" city in Runeterra, Piltover is not a centralized city with a clear city lord, and it can be completely occupied as long as the city lord's mansion or the governor's mansion is captured.
In a sense, Piltover is the first "decentralized" city in Runeterra. Even if the parliament building is captured, it does not mean that the city can be occupied.
Moreover, according to the information provided by Tamara, compared with the parliament building, Piltover's college, north of the city, port area and other places have a higher strategic significance than the parliament building!
In this case, Swain agreed with Tamara's judgment and did not go directly to the parliament building to join forces, but turned around and headed straight for the college.
The Noxians and Zauns almost arrived outside the college at the same time, one in the south and one in the north.
At first, Heimerdinger was thinking that he would not let anyone in if he could not figure out the situation, but when the Noxians deployed their formation and began to attack the walls of the academy, even though he had doubts about the Zaun reinforcements, he had to accept the support and let the team in the north of the academy enter the academy.
"Jayce, you are here! Oh, and Viktor!" After seeing Jayce and Viktor, Heimerdinger was obviously relieved, "It is so chaotic outside today, I don't know what happened-I met Miss Caitlin before, she said someone betrayed Piltover, betrayed progress, joined the Noxians, and brought war!"
"That's right." Jayce nodded, "Mel and I were also assassinated... Jagu Midarda defected to the Noxians, and the Gunnoga family opened the door to thieves."
"That's really It's too bad." Heimerdinger held his pet Poro in his arms, blinking his big eyes, "The Noxians outside are coming aggressively, and my self-aiming turrets may not be able to delay them for too long. You said you brought reinforcements?"
"Yes, this is Ms. Lux, the leader of Zaun." Jayce nodded, "She brought reinforcements personally, including a professional magic force."
Speaking of magic, Jayce was obviously excited. Even at this bad moment, magic still gave him a subtle confidence.
In contrast to Jayce, Professor Heimerdinger's expression became a little unnatural. He blinked, looked up and down at Lux, and hesitated for a moment before extending his hand.
"Ms. Lux, I have heard of your name. You are a powerful spellcaster..."
Although Heimerdinger's attitude was quite friendly, everyone present found a subtle unwelcome in his greeting. From the expression that the Yordle professor tried to hide but failed to hide, he seemed to be full of fear of Lux.
Seeing this scene, Lux and Kalya were a little nervous.
Could it be that this old and cunning person had noticed their thoughts?
It shouldn't be!
At this time, in the cognition of Mrs. Piltover, Zaun should not be a threatening target!
Then, before Lux was ready to test the other party's attitude, Jayce sighed helplessly.
"Professor, magic does not necessarily mean danger. I know that the Rune Wars once left a deep impression on you, but now facing the invasion of Noxus, we need the power of magic to defend our city."
"I understand, I understand." Heimerdinger, holding Poro, nodded repeatedly, and forced a smile on his face. "Miss Lux, I hope you can forgive the worries of an old man from the depths of his memory, but please believe me, you must control the power of magic, it is far more dangerous than you think."
Karliya's small class · automatic shooting weapons:
After Hextech was truly incorporated into Piltover's development system, Professor Heimerdinger unexpectedly devoted himself to the research of weapons - when "mastering magic with science" has gradually become a reality, he chose to take the field of weapons research into his own control to prevent some people from developing more dangerous things in a hurry for quick success.
