Chapter 138: Two Cities Victorious, What Should Luo Wen Do?
August 987, location, Twin Cities.
The port and some areas of Piltover suffered a catastrophic blow, but the good thing is that not many Piltover people lost their lives in this war.
Because the Noxian attack was discovered early, all the councilors used the radio to disperse all the Piltover people living near the port early in the morning, and also quickly let the law enforcement officers form a queue and take weapons to prevent the Noxians from landing in Piltover.
In the later part of this war, Piltover retreated and defended. They gave up many buildings, but they effectively played the role of defending the regional war.
Because Hextech weapons gave Piltover people the power to resist, military rifles, magic bullets, protective equipment, and various props developed by Jayce and still in the experimental stage were taken out and used. It was precisely because of these magic props that Piltover successfully protected Piltover before the arrival of the Demacians.
To the surprise of the Piltover people, the Zaun people also came to help. Zaun abandoned its previous prejudice against Piltover and rushed to the upper city with alchemical weapons to help the Piltover people resist the Noxians.
This incident also made some Piltover people who originally had opinions about Zaun change their minds instantly.
However, the Zaun people did not change their attitude towards the Piltover people's change of mind.
Just like now, a meeting led by Jayce, Viktor, Fandel, and Hilko all participated in it. Hilko said with a sneer on her face:
"Please pay attention to your wording, Councillor Jiraman, we are not giving up hatred to help you, but we choose to obey the goddess Janna, so we help you."
"In other words, compared to letting the Noxians destroy Piltover, what I want more is that I personally bring fear to you, so that you arrogant guys know how to write the four words of apology and repentance."
Hilko said with a sneer.
And to Hilko's words, Ms. Jiraman showed an awkward but dignified smile.
"So, Senator Midarda, which side are you on now?" A Senator looked at Mel and asked in a deep voice.
This time, Noxus suddenly attacked Piltover, and Mel from Noxus did not give any useful information.
If the law enforcer on duty in the morning had not noticed it, Piltover would have been in trouble when the enemy arrived.
Countless people would die, and the whole Piltover would be robbed. In Piltover, the most important thing is not money and materials, but people.
People are the treasure of Piltover.
Therefore, it is difficult for Mel, who has a Noxian background, not to make the Senators have opinions about her.
Facing the eyes of the Senators, Mel showed a bitter smile.
"If I say that I really know nothing, will you believe me?"
"Your family is also a famous noble family in Noxus. If you say that you have not received any news, would you believe it? How can we trust you?"
"I understand, but I have been abandoned by Midalda, and I have become an abandoned child of the family." Mel took a deep breath and continued sincerely: "Besides, I came to this city-state when I was very young, and I witnessed the growth of this city-state. Ladies and gentlemen, I know you will not believe me, but for me, Piltover is more important than Noxus."
"This city-state is where I belong, and this city-state has my hard work."
"Okay, Senator Mel must be fine, why do you doubt her? If she hadn't told us the habits of the Noxian army, it would have been difficult for us to wait for the reinforcements of the Demacians." Jayce said loudly.
Mel looked at Jayce, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
As soon as he spoke, several councillors looked at each other, and then they all chose to remain silent.
Yes, although Jayce became a councillor late and is the youngest councillor, he should not have any experience. However, the operation of the entire Piltover is mainly based on Hextech, so Jayce has become an indispensable figure in Piltover.
Join forces to play dirty to teach this young boy a lesson? Let him see the dirty and sinister political tactics?
How is it possible?
If the councillors really dare to do this, exclude and sideline Jayce, then Jayce will be taken away by the Zaun people the next day, or even directly taken away by Demacia.
Jayce has proved his value with his talent.
Piltover did create him, but now Jayce can easily create a new Piltover.
He has the ability.
So the current situation is that the councillors will vaguely center around Jayce.
This councillor with the least experience has become the most powerful councillor.
"I invited everyone here not only to talk about the future relationship between the two cities, but also to deal with one thing." Jayce said seriously.
Victor answered from the side: "Rowan is in trouble. Lux sent a message, hoping that we can go to Demacia to see if we can use Hextech magic to help Rowan."
"He's in trouble? What could happen to that kid?" Fandel asked puzzled.
"He was frozen by magic, and now... we don't know whether he is alive or dead." Victor said, and his expression was very distressed when he said this.
And Jayce did the same, clasping his hands together and saying in a deep voice: "We must help Rowan. If it weren't for the reinforcements from Demacia this time, even if we defeated the Noxians, we would have lost many lives. Demacia helped us, and we must help Demacia."
"This is not business, everyone, this is a return of favor."
"."
"I agree."
"I agree too."
"Going to Demacia? Councillor Talis, are you going with Mr. Victor?"
"Isn't this nonsense, Councillor Roman? If Councillor Talis doesn't go with Mr. Victor, how can he help Mr. Rowan?"
The councillors discussed it one after another.
And in the end, everyone made up their minds.
This meeting decided many things, such as compensating the economic losses of the people of Piltover near the port, helping to rebuild houses, rewards for law enforcement officers, and rewards for the help of the people of Zaun, etc.
And in this meeting, there were many small things, and there should be two big things.
One is that Piltover agreed to Zaun's autonomy, but this autonomy is a new Zaun Council composed of three Zaun people and two Piltover people. It is not controlled by Piltover councilors. It is a brand-new power body that is only responsible for Zaun.
Viktor, Hilko, Vandel, Jayce, and Mel, these five people formed a new council to control the situation in Zaun, and when a major event is to be decided, the council will vote.
Hilko agreed, because after all, there are three Zaun people, and when things are decided, Zaun people account for the majority.
This is Piltover's gesture of goodwill. They are unwilling to let go directly and still try to get involved in Zaun, but at the same time they also understand the speed of Zaun's current growth. Zaun can no longer be manipulated as casually as before.
Not to mention that Demacia will stand up for Zaun.
Another major event is that Viktor and Jayce will bring a group of people, experts, and instruments to Demacia.
Rowan
has been an ice sculpture for a week!
Without a drop of water, Demacia could not check Rowan's condition. Therefore, Jayce and his team went there this time to solve the problem of Rowan being frozen, but more importantly, to investigate whether Rowan still had any signs of life.
Not eating or drinking for a week
Even if it was a physical monster like Rowan, he would die, right?
Thinking of this, Jayce took a deep breath.
Please, don't die
Rowan.
