Chapter 108: Leather City Mobilization
The farce between Rod and Jinx was finally forced to end by Jana.
If Rhodes doesn't stop his actions, Cana will peck his ear off - don't think that Cana is harmless in the bluebird state.
To be honest, Rod really felt a little reluctant to let Jinx go like this......
But his own goddess is not happy, and Rod still has to give face.
What's more, Piltover should now start making a move.
I have to be ready now - I've replaced a lot of Hex Crystals, but it's not safe.
What if Piltover had plenty of backup energy?
At least I have to resist Pi Cheng for a while, so that my Li Daitao can stiffen the effect.
……………………
And in Piltover, when Jagu returned safely, he immediately called an emergency meeting of the Supreme Council.
When all thirteen members were in place, the first thing Jagu said was—"The battle of the kings has begun!" ”
Not everyone likes war, so many members of the committee objected to Jagu's statement.
But when Jagu recounted the effects of Rhodes' Arcane Storm on the Hex-Ares mech, all the commissioners fell silent.
If Rhodes had been merely a mage, or merely a revolutionary in Zaun, Piltover's relationship with him would not have been so targeted.
But if there is a way in Rod's hands that can "negate" all Hex's products......
The relationship between the two sides is endless, absolutely endless!
In this case, if Rod does not die, Piltover will never be at peace!
As a result, the entire Supreme Council of Picheng immediately reached a consensus on the declaration of war on Zaun and the complete killing of Rhodes.
Then, new questions came.
How to convince the people of Picheng to carry out a general mobilization?
You know, because of the recent public speeches against the Supreme Council by independent Hex scientists, Hex inventors, and students, Piltover's situation is very uneasy, and the pressure on the Supreme Council is particularly great in this situation to force the people and attack Zaun.
The Supreme Council of Piltover has never been dictatorial enough – they are essentially a combination of big plutocrats and academics, naturally in a weak position in the face of a strong enemy and the need for tough policy.
"It's okay, we're announcing Rhodes." Jia Guya gritted, "Although this will make the committee weak, but at this time, it can't take care of so much!" ”
"And, there's Jace to draw firepower for us."
Everyone nodded.
"Further, we can incite the confrontation between Picheng and Zaun, exaggerate the contradictions between the two sides, and take the opportunity to create panic - for example, if Zaun masters this technology, they will in turn exploit Piltover and the like."
Jagu's approach worked – most of the time, Piltover had his nostrils turned to the sky when he faced Zaun.
The civilians were shouting merrily, but once they knew that Zaun was likely to ride on the head of Picheng...... Anti-war or something, absolutely no one will mention it again.
The Zuan threat theory has never gone out of style.
……………………
The next morning, the same headline was published in all the newspapers of Piltover and in size.
"Zu An has mastered anti-Hex technology, and can make all Hex technology fail!"
"From now on, Zaun will maintain a huge strategic advantage over Piltover."
"The great era of Zuan has begun!"
"The center of evolution is about to change from Piltover to Zaun."
Major newspapers rushed to report on Rhodes' "anti-hex magic", and then succeeded in causing a huge panic.
By his tireless efforts, Rhodes had almost taken the lead in public opinion, and the vast majority of Mrs. Piltworth had some degree of sympathy for Zaun - although they would complain that their own sewers were still not working.
But as soon as the Supreme Council of Leather City was in full swing, the news that "Jace had captured Sacco and died, and Zaun had mastered anti-Hex magic" came out, and the whole of Piltover was rarely united.
What was once an anti-war march quickly turned into a demonstration.
Mrs. Piltworth was more than happy to show her kindness when it was not her own (or not very much) - considering that it was indeed the Supreme Council that had always been in the position of exploiters, they were for a time anti-war and wished to live in peace with Zaun.
But when they felt the threat from Zaun and threatened to lose their lead, the Picheng Guys would no longer change their stance because of their kindness.
It's not ugly, it's just human nature.
With the rapid change of public opinion, Piltover began a general mobilization.
This time, the Leather City Supreme Council made a nice comeback – at least on the surface.
But in Zaun, Rhodes didn't panic at all.
Piltover Mobilization...... Isn't it remarkable?
It is undeniable that this time the Supreme Council's response was perfect, but they overlooked a very important detail.
Jess...... Not dead yet.
When a person says something, if some of it is falsified, then everything else he says is not to be believed.
Originally, in order to save some face for the Supreme Council, Jagu threw Jace out as a backing, but this was not a problem.
But he miscalculated the situation and thought that Jace was dead, and that was a big problem.
Why did Jagu think Jace was dead?
Because the special operators who went with Jace all said that Jace was dead.
Why did those special operators say Jace was dead?
Because they abandoned Jace on their own initiative - didn't they say Jace was dead, and that we saw that the enemy was too strong, so we left Jace and ran away?
As a result, Jagu's death was used as a bargaining chip to stir up the emotions of the people of Picheng, and as a result, he showed his biggest flaw.
As for the war - if you want to fight, then let the horses come!
When Piltover mobilized, in Zaun, the mobilization began.
