Before dawn, the parliament tower was filled with members and superior law enforcement officers. Among the anxious members of the House of Representatives, Cassandra was the most haggard. She seemed to have been crying all night. The woman's eyes were a little swollen and red.
It's heartwarming.
All the council members knew the bad news that the daughter of the Gila Mann family had not returned home all night. Before taking their seats, everyone who danced with their sleeves expressed their deep emotions to Councilor Cassandra.
The news that Randall's team was wiped out was reported to the Law Enforcement Administration as early as last night. Deputy Sheriff Marcos personally came to apologize and responded that Caitlin's whereabouts were unknown during the chaos.
It is now impossible to further find out Caitlin's whereabouts. In just one night, the alchemy monsters from Zaun penetrated the dam area and the lower coastal area of Piltover, killing hundreds of law enforcement officers.
His head hangs outside the streets,
In this sudden war, many Piltover residents living in the coastal areas also lost their lives here. If Fandel's people had not stopped the crazy alchemist warriors, Piltover would have only suffered only 10 casualties.
There will be more.
The law enforcement officers who could not hold on to the defense line had to completely abandon the coastal area and deploy the new defense line on Morton Street, which has a relatively wide view.
Because the permit for the use of heavy weapons has not yet been approved by the parliament, the law enforcement officers who were urgently transferred to the front line could only rely on their rifles to stop the Zaun alchemy warriors and barely hold the line.
As for revenge, because he was jealous of Caitlin's talent and background, through illegal operations, he transferred Caitlin, who should not be on the front line, to the Randall team. Linus, the law enforcement team leader, was stripped of his position as a law enforcement officer and his position as a law enforcement officer by the General Administration of Law Enforcement overnight.
Civil Rights, temporarily imprisoned in the Prison of the General Administration of Law Enforcement,
Although the crime is not worthy of death, former law enforcement officer Li Nas, who has no background but offended the Gila Mann family, will most likely be transferred to Stillwater Prison for a lifetime. If the Gila Mann family is willing to operate in secret, former law enforcement officer Li Nas
Si's ending will only be to die of illness in a cell.
The compensation for the Giraman family stopped here. Of course, the meeting was held early in the morning because the congressmen had more pressing problems that needed to be solved.
"I think everyone should know the seriousness of the matter."
Before Parliament Chairman Heimerdinger could speak, Mel Myrdalda slapped the table and stood up, taking the lead in speaking out.
"There is no doubt that this is a war, a war initiated by the Zaans. This war is by no means a small fight in the past. We must understand one thing, that is, the Zaans have already planned it. If we cannot
If we respond promptly and efficiently, we will inevitably pay a heavy price.
Since we have chosen to launch the attack on Evolution Day, I am afraid that many Zaun spies have already sneaked into the city. What we need to face is not only the attack of Zaun alchemy warriors, but it is also important to eliminate the Zaun spies in the city to protect the safety of citizens' property.
The most important thing.”
Councilor Horton, who looked serious, then expressed his agreement. This time, it was not because his seat was occupied by the Myrdalda family. The Sun Gate was broken, the Hex Flying Gate was out of operation, and the Zaun factory was out of control.
The gold coins lost every minute were like someone cutting the flesh on his body with a dull knife.
"Congressman Mirdalda is right. We have to give these ignorant gutter guys some color! Let them understand how serious the consequences of disrupting public order are!"
Councilor Gearman Gate echoed.
"The Zaun people have lost control. I propose to send law enforcement officers to carry out a comprehensive suppression and shoot all the rioters."
"It's easy to defeat the rioters in Zaun. The key is how do we find the agents of Zaun hiding in the city?"
Senator Palmer looked at the crowd.
"We can't mobilize another group of law enforcement officers to conduct a city-wide search, right? The strength of the law enforcement officers is already stretched thin. If the Zaun people continue to increase their troops, we will have to urgently recruit a group of new students from the law enforcement officer school to join the battle.
.”
Councilor Miriam hesitated for a moment and then said.
"Perhaps this matter can be left to the people of the Feros family. The spies of the Feros family are the most suitable to do this. But how do we convince the people of the Feros family to take over this matter?"
After the words fell, except for Heimerdinger who lowered his head and Kassandra who was depressed and didn't want to speak, the other congressmen looked at Mel. The Philos family and the Myrdalda family also had an imperial background. Let Myrdal
The Da family is the best choice to contact the Philos family.
Facing everyone's gaze, Mel smiled slightly.
"I will send someone to contact the Feros family, but we can't solve the problem just by relying on the Feros family's spies. I propose to divide different areas and have each family send 'bloodhounds' to carry out the most basic counter-intelligence activities.
"
Meyer raised his right hand as he spoke. Three seconds later, all seven congressmen, including Heimerdinger, raised their right hands, and the bill passed smoothly.
Although one problem was solved for the time being, facing another thorny issue, the atmosphere in the parliament did not relax.
"Chief Grayson, it's up to you to briefly explain the current situation to the congressmen."
Nodding to Mel, Grayson, who had been listening to the parliament, said in a deep voice.
"Since the war, the dam area and coastal areas have been lost one after another. At present, I have arranged for Deputy Sheriff Marcos to personally sit on Morton Street to guide the refugees and rely on the terrain to block the attacks of the Alchemy Warriors. The effect is not obvious. It is still possible during the day.
If we can maintain the defense line, we will inevitably pay huge casualties at night when visibility is low.
My Lords, the alchemy warriors of Zaun have shown us extremely terrifying combat capabilities. Their bodies have been strengthened by the shimmering potion. They are fearless of pain, extremely powerful, quick in action, and fearless of death. They are a group of incredible people.
An out-and-out crazy monster, we must not treat it with common sense!
Although our law enforcement officers have a strong will to fight, they are no match for these alchemy warriors if they only rely on Mauser rifles. The damage of the bullets of Mauser rifles to the alchemy warriors is extremely limited. Our law enforcement officers not only need more manpower to supplement
, a heavy firepower license is also required.”
"Heavy firepower permission? Are you going to fight the war in the City of Progress? Do you know how powerful those artillery shells are?"
Congressman Horton stared at Grayson with some dissatisfaction. As the last Congressman to take office, most of his family's private property is located in the industrial area north of Morton Street. Wouldn't it be terrible if he was bombarded by law enforcement officers?
Lose your pants?
"Can you guarantee that heavy firepower will not harm our citizens?"
Grayson sighed softly.
"Congressman Horton, the law enforcement officers are currently organizing the residents near Morton Street to evacuate the battlefield. I can only promise that I will do my best to keep the enemy from the defense line."
"'As much as I can?', Sheriff Grayson, in my opinion this is a sign of incompetence..."
Mel interrupted Kizz Horton.
"Congressman Horton, I think the loss of the dam area and along the coast is enough to show how powerful our enemy is... Everyone, as I just said, Piltover has reached a critical juncture, and we must use all our strength to
attitude to face this war,
I support giving law enforcement officers the authority to use heavy firepower."
During the vote, only Heimerdinger and Miriam did not raise their hands.
…
On the front line of Morton Street, horse-drawn carriages dragging heavy weapons one after another arrived at the construction area that was transformed into a battlefield. High-wattage headlights were being installed in various places under the guidance of electrical engineers to ensure that they would be bright when night came.
It can dispel every inch of darkness and expose the enemy to the muzzle of the gun.
Heavy firepower includes but is not limited to revolving Gatling guns, high-explosive mortars, thirty-five large-caliber armor-piercing rifles and twenty Hex rifles purchased from the Noxus Empire. Law enforcement officers who have obtained heavy weapon configurations
The morale of the officers soared, and they finally had the strength to fight.
In the afternoon, the assembled Zaun alchemy warriors launched a tentative attack. More than a hundred alchemy warriors rushed from the end of the street. The law enforcement officers who were already prepared for the attack opened up their firepower and attacked head-on.
"Free fire! Kill these Zaun monsters!"
"Mortar, three bursts of rapid fire!"
Deputy Sheriff Marcos gave the order, and for a moment, a fire net that far exceeded the Mauser rifle was directed to the other end of the street. The heavy firepower formed by the large-caliber rifle and the Hex rifle easily tore apart the reinforced body of the Alchemist Warrior.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Seeing Mrs. Piltover bring out the heavy weapons, the Zaunians left bitterly and quickly retreated to the alleyway south of Morton Street.
"Deputy Sheriff Marcos, do you want to send someone to pursue you?"
A law enforcement officer came forward, looking proud and proud.
"I think we should take this opportunity to drive these rats out of the ditch back into their smelly ditch!"
Marcus put down the telescope and frowned.
"Heavy firepower weapons cannot be used in the urban area south of Morton Street. The terrain there is too complex and is more suitable for those agile diggers."
"Then let's..."
"Hold your position first, there will be plenty of opportunities to make them pay the price later!"
As the Zaun people whose attack was blocked withdrew from Morton Street, Morton Street became the front line for the confrontation between the law enforcement forces and the Zaun alchemy warriors.
In Zaun's Black Alley, Fulgrim's Tavern, which used to be lively and noisy, has been cleared. Alchemy warriors wearing alchemy pots on their heads guard the door, watching Zaun's big shots file in.
The visitors included local underground gang leaders, alchemist barons who chose to join the dark alley, and well-known workshop operators and alchemist craftsmen. As for those who refused to follow the trend of Zaun, they were already lying in coffins.
Fandel stood in front of the counter and mixed drinks skillfully. Hilko brought a glass of wine and smiled and greeted the visitors.
"Ms. Gorask, how is business lately?"
A high-end customized white suit is incompatible with other people in the tavern. In the gun bag on his waist is a refined and luxurious three-barreled pistol. The snake-staff-shaped alchemical injection device floating next to him is both dangerous and desirable - it is said that
The liquid in the snake staff can make the most stubborn stone speak with a low eyebrow, just like those small businesses that have been swallowed up by Gorask Industrial Group.
The young women who walked in had half black and half gray hair. The woman with light makeup took the cocktail offered by Hilko and shook it twice. She elegantly and calmly took off her breathing filter and sipped it against her lips.
took a sip,
The woman's appearance cannot be said to be beautiful, it can only be said to be regular, but it exudes a unique charm.
Among the powerful people in Zaun, Ms. Lenata Gorask is one of the most charming representatives and is pursued by many people, including some gang leaders or alchemist barons.
"Thanks to Boss Sirko, our products can no longer pass through the Gate of the Sun. A small area like Zaun alone cannot sustain the goods produced by Gorask Industries. If you lose so much, you have to compensate me."
Faced with Lenata's teasing, Hilko also smiled.
"Of course there is no problem with compensation, just deduct it from my share, but Ms. Gorask should also understand that everything we do now is to pay less tax in the future.
When Zaun gets the power that should belong to us, Gorask Industries will definitely expand its business to the whole world. By then, Ms. Gorask will be the richest woman in the world. Madam, will you still care about my compensation?
"
"If it were Boss Hilko, I think I would care."
The condescending woman raised her fingertips, lightly crossed Hilko's chest, and sat on the seat with a wine glass, leaving Hilko with an elegant back.
This simple movement made Hilko's heart beat slightly faster.
Only when facing this collaborator who is more than ten years younger than himself, he always easily loses his usual calmness.
"Hilko, don't forget your old friend."
Only then did Hilko come back to his senses and put a smile on his face again.
"I am the most nostalgic person. How could I forget my old friend? Baron Yoram, what do you want for a drink?"
"You're welcome, Boss Hilko. I heard that Forgan's Tavern has launched a new cocktail. I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to try it?"
"Fander, a glass of [Sunset Glow]"
Fandel pursed his lips and took out a brand new wine glass.
"Baron Finn, you're safe."
"I'm just here to have a few drinks, and you can discuss anything I need."
"What about whiskey?"
"whisky."
"We are all brothers who made their fortune together, so why are you so polite?"
After patting Baron Finn on the shoulder, Hilko faced the people of the Whirlpool Gang with a smile on his face. He himself didn't like to do these social things, but Fandel didn't want to stand up, so he had to do it.
When Fulgen's Tavern was filled with twelve people, the door of the Tavern was closed by the Alchemist Warrior. The twelve people were divided into four tables. Fandel was mixing drinks and watching. Hilko stood up with a wine glass and smiled at everyone.
.
"Everyone who comes here and is willing to give me Silko a face is enough to show that everyone is a good brother who is willing to contribute to Zaun. In this case, let's not talk nonsense anymore, so that Zaun can get what it deserves.
Respect and cheers!”
Twelve people with different expressions stood up and raised their glasses one after another.
