For a man like Liwick with his own values, "fairness" and "justice" alone are not enough to make him change his position.

People like Catherine who can stand up for their beliefs are, after all, a minority.

But the "threat" of Zaun is completely different.

It doesn't take to think that if Zaun really wants to join the Grand Federation of Noxus, the Noxians will definitely be in favor of it with both hands and feet - that means that Noxus will have a stronghold to hold the Sea of Watch and the Sea of Conquest in check, and light up the Hextech tree.

And if Zaun joins the Grand Federation of Noxus, what will happen to Piltover?

There are only two answers.

One is to do it directly to Zaun, then start a war, and then Noxus will fully intervene - as for the victors, you can know with your feet that it is Noxus.

The other is to be indifferent to everything, and then wait for Noxus to build Zuan and be flattened and become a colony of Noxus.

Either one, it is unacceptable to the people of Picheng.

Remember the intention signed by Rod and Svein earlier?

In fact, that intention had already had a lot of influence on Piltover – but thanks to the efforts of the Supreme Council, these voices were silenced.

But now, when Levik really had to face this possibility, he found himself no longer on the side of the Supreme Council.

It's actually quite simple.

Rhodes wasn't lying.

Zaun can't survive without aid now, and the source of aid is either support from Noxus or trade revenues from Piltover after the blockade is lifted - in other words, either Piltover makes a change, or Zaun falls to Noxus.

From Piltover's point of view, the question becomes either change or destruction.

The Supreme Council will not change – because change means that they will lose everything.

After the Zaun Revolution, the Supreme Council of Piltover had lost the basis of its ruling order, and it was on this basis that Rhodes remained confident.

In Rod's view, the Supreme Council's struggles were nothing more than a fight of trapped beasts, trying to drag more people into the water – and Rhodes was just trying to prevent someone from having a bad idea and burying them.

In the face of the facts, Li Weike is still clear.

Although instinctively resisting being dominated by Zaun, Liwick had to admit that Piltover had to change.

Looking at Levik, who no longer refuted and nodded silently, Rod finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I see what you mean – starting tomorrow, Piltover's independent Hex scientists and inventors will use their strength to oppose the Supreme Council and push for reform." Levik sighed, "But once again, I emphasize that we will not sell any Piltover interests in any form. ”

"Sure enough, I'm the protagonist, look at the effect of this mouth-"

Then, just as Rod was secretly proud, Levik spoke again.

"On the private side - you keep me away from Oriana, and next time I see you by Oriana's side, watch out for the Hextech gun!"

Rod was dumbfounded - what do you mean by that?!

Am I a pervert?!

……………………

Levik did what he said.

When people who usually do not express their political opinions have communicated with each other, a turbulent undercurrent finally appears under the calm waters of Piltover.

A great deal of evidence against the Supreme Council began to appear in the tabloids of Piltover – and by the time the police seized it at the request of the Supreme Council, the editorial office and the printing house were already empty.

Rhodes' tunnel warfare has worked very well - don't forget, the sewers are tunnels too!

Hex's academy began a strike.

The tried-and-true "diploma threat law" of the students failed this time — independent Hex scientists promised their future jobs, and the students began to lash out at the Supreme Council with impunity.

In response to this, the thirteen members of the Supreme Council of Piltover sat together, confused in the face.

How did things come to be so turbulent?!

The Supreme Council deliberately suppressed the questions about businessmen that Rhodes deliberately spread before-they knew very well whose interests they had harmed, so they immediately used both soft and hard measures to control the mouths of businessmen.

But now...... The group of guys who usually studied with their heads bored suddenly spoke, which was really completely unexpected by the Supreme Council.

Without a plan, they were caught off guard.

And that's not even the deadliest.

The most fatal point is that someone has pointed out the problem of Piltover now - if he does not reconcile with Zuan, Zaun will fall to Noxus.

It's over!!

This is what worries the Supreme Council the most.

Don't forget, Piltover doesn't have much else, but there are a lot of smart people - if everyone understands this, the end will fall...... It can only be the Supreme Council!

What to do?

Will it be a détente, or will it simply fight to the end?

In the midst of the storm, the thirteen members of the Supreme Council of Piltover sat down again.

What's next?

————————

Finally, let's explain a few words, this time, we look at this issue from the perspective of the Twin Cities.

First of all, in the beginning, Piltover was supposed to exploit Zaun.

But after the Great Revolution, after the Zuan people stood up, the basis of exploitation ceased to exist, and the original order of Piltover had to be declared collapsed.

In this case, a new question arises for Piltover - what exactly to do with Zaun?

If the blockade of Zuan continues, then once Zuan falls to Noxus, Piltover will really be finished - but if we are not allowed to fall to Noxus, then the two sides must establish a relatively equal relationship, but in that case, the plutocracy and the school lords led by the Supreme Council of Piltover will have to give up their own interests.

Interestingly, from Piltover's point of view, there is an even bigger problem.

At the time of the Zaun Revolution, the lives of ordinary people in Piltover were greatly affected, but the scholars and chaebols were not only unaffected, but even made a fortune - which meant that they had gone from sucking the blood of Zaun to sucking the blood of the people of the city.

In the end, this is the fault of the Supreme Council of Pietville, and it would have been completely different if they had chosen to share the weal and woe with Piltover during the lockdown of Rhodes.

Overall, this was a classic internal contradiction caused by external change, and the Supreme Council of Pitz either gave up exploitation or resisted to the end by force – this was Rhodes' weapon in causing the upheaval in Piltover.

In the end, these chapters are very tiring to write, I don't know if you like it or not, if you don't like it, it's okay for the author to post a conclusion later.

Ask for a recommendation!!
