Chapter 397 Preparation(1/2)
The morning sun rises from the sea level as usual, seeming to indicate that today will also be a beautiful day.
Fishermen on the beach pulled transparent fishing nets and dragged them onto the fishing boats. The wet silk threads shone in the sun.
"Abba, why are there so many wooden shelves on the Sun Gate?"
Looking at the towering Sun Gate from a distance, you can see a few more shadows on it.
The dark-skinned old fisherman looked up, his eyes narrowed to a slit, and he exclaimed: "Could this be an execution rack?"
The mechanical creation responsible for maintaining the Gate of the Sun was easy to identify, and the old fisherman was sure that it was definitely not something he had taken for granted in the past. On the contrary, it reminded him of a memory from more than ten years ago.
At that time, a group of murderers appeared in Piltover. It was said that they were from Noxus. They killed many of the city-state's security forces. For a long time, the residents of the city-state were in panic.
There are far fewer people on the road.
Cases at that time, once discovered, were often massacres of entire families, which left an extremely strong impact on the old fisherman's heart.
Fortunately, in the end, in the reckless arrest operation of the oligarchs, this group of extremely vicious gangsters were all captured.
They were pressed to the top of the Gate of the Sun for execution, and the scene was exactly the same. That day, as the gangsters were hanged one by one, the dark clouds hanging over everyone in Pi City finally dissipated.
The old man has not seen this kind of scene for more than ten years.
"I don't know who is going to be hanged today?"
The special selection of Sun Gate as the execution platform has special significance, which means that "the whole city" will see this process, but strangely, no rumors about this matter seem to have leaked out.
"Have you read today's newspaper?"
The fisherman turned to ask his son.
"I'll get it!"
The child jumped into the cabin, took out today's newspaper, and read out loud today's front page news:
"The price of betraying the city-state, even the oligarchs will pay with blood!"
"Oh, Abba, it's the Hood family who were arrested a while ago. They are going to be hanged!"
"Oh..."
The old fisherman smacked his lips: "These great men will also have this day!"
After taking the newspaper, he read it with relish for a while. Then he glanced out of the corner of his eye and caught a glimpse of his son who was about to run away to watch. He immediately slapped him on the forehead: "Hurry up and install the fishing nets and get ready to go to sea!"
"……oh!"
The child had no choice but to give up the idea aggrievedly.
The fishing boat slowly sailed away from the coast in the direction of the rising sun...
…
The sudden front-page news shocked the attention of countless people. The title was very gimmick, but in fact the entire article emphasized the oligarchs' zero tolerance for traitors and promoted Piltover's diplomatic philosophy.
From this point of view, it is not completely unacceptable that the Hood family, who betrayed Piltover and harmed foreign diplomats, were executed in such a high-profile manner.
——It’s just that the Hood family has been operating in Piltover for such a long time, so there must be people who find this order ridiculous.
They are all beneficiaries of the Hood family.
With mixed emotions, people began to gather towards the Sun Gate. Perhaps today, the Piltover oligarchs will lose one of their clan flags. They are witnessing history.
"Come out! Get out!"
The prison guard banged the rubber stick on the iron fence, and his words were full of sinister meaning.
One by one, the arrested members of the Hood family came out of the dirty cells, including young and old, and some women with babies in their arms.
"God Janna..."
Some people prayed to the gods in pain.
Adults all knew what they were about to face. Some half-year-old children tugged at the corners of their mother's clothes and asked her with innocent eyes if they would be free soon.
The Hood clan, which has a large family and business, filled seven or eighty taels of prison cars. Because they had to be wary of Kemp Hood's rescue, the escorts this time were all fully armed special forces, and there were various arrangements and arrangements along the way.
Ambush, just waiting for him to fall into the trap.
"Rumble..."
The cart was driving on the road, and most of the Hood family members huddled together in the carriage had expressions of fear on their faces, and few could face death calmly.
The sobbing never stopped, and a thin old man sat alone in the corner, sighing.
"Fortunately, Master Kemp escaped and allowed our family to continue!"
"Do you think that boy of his will come to save us?"
"What can I do to save you? Ridiculous!"
The old man's gaze passed over the well-equipped soldiers at the door of the carriage. If Kemp was smart enough, he should leave this place of right and wrong early!
From time to time, there were comments and curses from the crowd gathered outside the carriage. Children hugged their relatives in fear, and their bodies trembled.
"Remember to close your eyes later, understand?"
A mother wiped the tears from her child's face and whispered: "Close your eyes, it will be over soon."
As the prison car wound its way up the mountain, the surrounding noise suddenly disappeared.
Several police officers with guns looked at each other and shook their heads.
Fishing failed!
The time came to eight o'clock in the morning, and the bronze bell in the center of the city rang slowly. There was only one hour left before the hanging.
Kemp Hood pursed his lips nervously, he was still in Zaun at this time.
Zaun’s Silver Moon Territory!
Camille sat in front of the juniors with a cold smile.
Among them, Nikhil's expression was the most frightened, because his assistant was Midalda!
In the distant Demacia embassy, Chai Anping had just finished visiting Nina and Orianna. The two could be said to be living in a "paradise" and were completely unaware of the tense situation outside. When Chai Anping left,
The two of them were still reading an interesting fairy tale collection. Orianna was playing the role of the little princess in it, and she also showed off her dancing skills in front of Chai Anping.
She always likes dancing. In addition to learning the techniques taught by her father, she used to go to a theater not far from her home to watch stage actors dance.
After the two of them left their room, the atmosphere outside the embassy became much more serious. After all, the one they had to fight against was Medalda, and any strength was precious.
Caitlin appeared at the end of the aisle with a sniper rifle on her back. She was wearing a decent uniform and had a bullet clip under her dark blue skirt.
Wei on the side was wearing a gray leather coat and holding two iron fists the size of a casserole in his hands, which made a roar of steam from time to time.
"Ready to go, Gracie?"
Caitlin said softly.
Today they shoulder the important task of assaulting the Midarda family's residence, vowing to kill all the senior officials of Midarda.
Now, both sides have prepared a big net, it depends on who catches whom in the end!
"certainly."
Chai Anping was wearing simple black clothes today, with a thin black knife on his waist. He looked ordinary, and had a different style from the two people opposite him.
In addition to the three of them, some of the dark divisions of the Philos family and the oligarch families they have secretly united with will send out elites to explore the tiger's den that has been run by Medalda for generations.
Of course, in Chai Anping's view - he alone is enough to destroy the Myrdalda family. He just hopes that the other oligarch families can maintain the economic stability of Pi City and not be affected by the sudden death of Myrdalda.
Just collapsed.
It's a pity that these oligarchs in Piltover are also big businessmen with backbone, and they don't want to just shed the blood of outsiders.
In other words, the amount of bloodshed will also determine the future division of Pi City's interests.
The original Hood family had always dreamed of bringing down Myrdalda, and the patriarchs of other families naturally had such ambitions in their hearts. Now they are equivalent to hunters, and their prey has changed. Myrdalda, the insidious and cunning fox, has been captured.
The angry hunter stared at it, and the cold light had already pierced the back of its neck, but it was still staring at the fat meat in front of it.
"lets go."
Chai Anping followed the team with a smile.
Until something unexpected happens, his job is only to "hold the line", which is Camille's request.
Chai Anping naturally follows the good example. Anyway, he has no interest in this kind of opponent now, so he might as well read more alchemy classics.
This team, which is good at sneak assassinations, quickly disappeared from sight, but in the dark it was like a bulldozer, sweeping away all the hidden stakes.
Thanks to Hobbes, everyone has a clear idea of Myrdalda's defense today.
Although this guy was low-key, he knew a lot about Midalda's secrets, which made Chai Anping feel that he had caught the right person.
Now Hobbes is staying in Myrdalda's manor, and no one has noticed anything unusual about him until now.
At half past eight, the Hexship in Silver Moon Territory took off with a roar.
Caitlin's scope was aimed at the guard at the door of the Myrdalda family.
"call--"
