Chapter 133: Picheng Rebellion
After all, the Pittson Armaments took over all order in Piltover - the Pittsport lost all its duties and was forced to "sit idle".
Because of military control, even Catherine could not leave Piltover, and now she doesn't even know what exactly happened.
Every day, all Catherine could do was stay in the office, make herself a cup of coffee, and wait silently for Rhodes.
(Of course, Catherine doesn't sit in the chair she used to use anymore.) )
The current Phi Cheng policewoman has entered the stage of self-doubt.
At first, Catherine hoped that Piltover could have fairness and justice, so she agreed to Rhodes - after all, according to Rhodes's plan, they were almost all "fishing for law enforcement".
But as the plan progressed, Catherine found that things were completely out of her control.
Human nature is the least tested – when it is put in the lab, the experiment fails.
Catherine discovers, with some sadness, that in the face of the temptations of all kinds of interests, Piltover does not have the light she imagined.
In the face of real interests, the Supreme Council of Picheng is extremely ugly. (The leader of the city-state is unable to make a fortune, is there any salvation?) )
What's even more terrifying is that in the midst of the turmoil, careerists also began to emerge in an endless stream - when the city of Pi was completely in chaos, Catherine received batch after batch of careerists, and they promised many temptations in order to win over Catherine and the guard of Picheng behind her.
Isn't the priority to restore order?
Why is it that everyone's slogans are for Piltover, but all actions are party opposition and struggle for power and profit?!
I have to admit that Zaun's rapid rise caused some misunderstandings for Catherine, making her think that revolution is a very simple thing - what Catherine didn't realize clearly is that if the alchemy baron hadn't packed up and left, Zauhan would definitely still be in a civil war now!
Catherine, who miscalculated the situation, chose to help Rod further, but the result was a large-scale turmoil in Piltover, if the two sides were still cooperating before, then from now on, even if Rod left Catherine aside and changed to a powerful teammate, it is entirely possible.
That's what Catherine fears the most.
Catherine was not afraid of Piltover's sacrifice, she was afraid of Piltover's blood being shed in vain.
In the current situation, Catherine has clearly realized that once Rhodes chooses to cooperate with the Supreme Council or the military, Piltover can quickly restore order, and then Piltover and Zaun can walk together again.
But the difference is that when the time comes, Zuan ...... It is quite possible to become that exploiter.
Although Catherine had previously admitted that there was no difference between Zaun and Mrs. Piltworth on an equal footing, it was only now that Catherine truly agreed with this view from the bottom of her heart.
As long as Rhodes wants, the Supreme Council of Pietville or the military can become Piltover's alchemy baron.
Unexpectedly, the cooperation with a sympathetic nature at the beginning has now become a skin with the tiger.
The coffee in the cup seems to be more bitter.
Catherine got up and went to the window, her eyes flickering, and she quietly looked at the depressed Piltover outside, and sighed softly.
"What a big girl, just sigh here." Just when Catherine was sad, Rod's voice came from behind her, "Young people should smile more, don't always sigh, look old!" ”
Catherine's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked back to find Rhodes sitting in her chair.
Seeing Rod, Catherine's face was full of surprise.
"Calm down, Miss Catherine—please don't pounce on me, it's easy to misunderstand."
As if remembering something, Catherine's face flushed and she stopped in her tracks with some embarrassment.
"Let's talk about it, is the current Piltover a mess?"
"How do you know?" Catherine frowned, "Also, are you hiding something from me?" Why did Piltover's Hex annihilation device go wrong? ”
"As a last resort." Rod shrugged, "The Hex Annihilation Weapon is a bit scary, so I played a little trick - I didn't expect it to actually use ......"
With that, Rhodes told Catherine about his smuggling of Hex Crystals and the explosion of Hex's Annihilation Weapon, and Catherine became more and more surprised the more she listened, and finally was dumbfounded.
The use of weapons of destruction in war to kill or kill friend or foe...... The madness of the Supreme Council of Leather City—or rather, the madness of Jagu—is far beyond Catherine's imagination!
In this case, she had to worry even more about Piltover's future.
"What about you...... What are you going to do? ”
"Guess what?" Rod stretched long in the wide chair, "I've come here to express myself best." ”
"Who knows if you're here to be a lobbyist." Catherine pouted as if intentionally or unconsciously, "Maybe you have reached a cooperation with someone, and then you want me to join you......"
"You're right." Rhodes nodded solemnly, "The Supreme Council of Pitz has made a decision that they are willing to surrender unconditionally on behalf of Piltover as long as Zaun guarantees the safety of life and property." ”
"What did you say?!" Catherine was finally completely stunned, "The Supreme Council of Picheng...... Surrendered?! ”
"That's right." Rod pulled out a treaty from his bosom and shook it in front of Catherine's face, "Surrender unconditionally." ”
snatching the treaty from Rod's hand, Catherine scanned the entire treaty at a glance.
Very simple.
From the date of the signing of the treaty, Piltover disarmed all conquests and surrendered unconditionally to Zaun on the premise of ensuring the safety of his own life and property.
Piltover will be responsible for the materials for the reconstruction of Zaun, including but not limited to basic materials such as building materials, materials for the repair and maintenance of the alchemy factory, livelihood buildings, and food.
Piltover renounced all tariffs on Zaun.
Piltover compensated Zaun with three million gold hexes and used the canal tax as collateral.
Piltover Hex College was split and the School of Water Gold Mining and Alchemy moved to Zaun to establish Zaun Hex College.
…………
…………
Twenty-three.
And underneath the treaty, the seal of the Supreme Council of Phi City is clearly visible.
Catherine's eyes darkened.
