A few days later.

The parliament, which was originally scheduled to convene after the night of the break, was postponed because Councillor Giramanen fell into a coma.

Fortunately, the councillor woke up two days later, but he was still wounded, but he still handed over the power to his daughter, Caitlin Giraman.

"Ladies and gentlemen! We need to stay calm. ”

Sitting in the parliamentary seat, Mel watched the quarrel of the councillors in front of him with a headache and a depressed face.

Zaun's escape was never part of her plans, and she was afraid that Jace wouldn't be able to handle the situation, but now that it had happened, solving the problem was the key.

Piltover doesn't have magic, and the only one who can compete with Hextech is Hextech, and he can only rely on Jace.

"Councillor Myrdalda, how do you keep us calm, now that the Hexfly Gate is being forced to close, my cargo is backlogged every day, and now the whole world is watching our jokes!"

Humpty Dumpty pounded the council table with a look of displeasure on his face.

He vented his emotions on Jace, reproaching:

"Councillor Tallis, this is your dereliction of duty, your assistant has long harbored evil intentions, and you have no defense against him."

"Mr. Councillor, this is my question and I am deeply sorry. If I had acceded to his request, I probably wouldn't have gotten to this point. Jace smiled wryly.

"Now is not the time to discuss this, I just want to ask everyone here on behalf of my family whether we in Picheng still have the capacity to enforce justice."

Caitlin frowned, and she stood up from her seat and looked around with a cold gaze, and everyone else looked away.

Wei, who was standing behind her, gave her an unexpected look, and then stood up like a bodyguard again, but there was always a sarcasm in her eyes for the parliamentarians.

"We'll have to ask Councillor Tallis and Councillor Heimerdinger about this." The blond-haired, skinny MP muttered.

This sentence turned everyone's attention back to Jace, and to Black Merdinger, who sat at the top with a bitter face.

Jace was silent for a moment in the face of several pairs of eyes, and his face was embarrassed: "If it were Zuan without Victor, our chances of victory would be 100%. If Victor doesn't have enough Hex Gems, then the odds are 80%. ”

"What if he had? We cannot pin our hopes on the fact that the enemy is without weapons. Mel asked calmly.

"In that case... We have less than 50 percent chance of winning. ”

After saying the last number, Jace sat down in the seat of the councillor.

This sentence is actually already showing that Victor is far superior to him in the development of weapons.

Zaun's basic strength is far inferior to Piltover's, but relying on Victor has greatly increased the opponent's chances of winning.

"Half the odds? You, the founder of Hex, are not as good as him? Humpty Dumpty rebuked coldly.

"He thinks better than I do... More radical. I'd recommend shutting down the Hexfly Gate for good until we decide the winner. Otherwise, there is too much contraband brought in by the flying gate, and our odds will be even lower. Jace suggested.

"Nope! No! It can't be, I..."

Fat Gao was about to say something, but was interrupted by Mel:

"If Congressman Tallis can ensure the safety of Pitt City, we think this opinion is worth a vote."

"At least that's how I win." Jace said truthfully.

"Then let's call for a vote, I propose that Picheng enter the emergency combat readiness phase, the materials are fully developed war reserves, the Hexfly Gate is closed, and Professor Heimerdinger and Councillor Tallis are responsible for making weapons." Mel was the first to raise her right hand.

A spotlight fell overhead, enveloping her, a voting tradition in the Phi City Council that symbolizes the beginning of a democratic vote.

"I agree!" Caitlin raised her hand decisively.

Immediately afterward, Jace and one of the mechanical councillors raised their hands, and the white light enveloped them.

In an instant, the number of votes in favor came to four, but two male and one female members voted against.

Mel, who should have been happy because he had more than half of the votes, was now frowning and staring at the three lawmakers who voted against it.

They were supposed to be her supporters, and the loss of shutting down the Hexfly Gate should have been borne by the Myrdalda family, but why...

Just as everyone's eyes were on the tangled Heimerdinger, the door of the council was violently pushed open with a snap.

"Personally, I disagree, ladies and gentlemen."

Walking in was Ryan, dressed in a pure white robe, followed by Caterina and Victor with a monocle.

"Your Excellency Meredith, this is the council chamber of Piltoverf." Mel said euphemistically.

Ryan circled the room with a plain but powerful gaze, pulled out a parchment roll, and threw it to the nearest mechanically clad councilor.

Seeing this scene, Vi whispered in Catelyn's ear:

"Who is this person, so majestic, these officials and old men are all silent."

Caitlyn whispered, "He's a Noxian, like a mage." Last time, I was scolded by my mother for saying a few words, and warned me not to annoy him, otherwise the whole Picheng would be buried with him. ”

"Oh, and this good thing. Then I'll go to him under the guise of Zuan, will he help us kill Hilco and Victor together. Wei had a strange smile on her face and made a gesture of wiping her neck.

"I'm afraid you'll be killed by him first." Caitlin didn't have a good air.

"Hahaha, trust me, little cake. Although I have never met a mage, I have heard that they are all a group of weak rookies who can be taken away with a few punches at close range. Wei said confidently.

While they were chatting, the councillor finished reading the parchment, and he handed it to the blonde councillor beside him, bowed his head and said in a respectful tone:

"I agree with Lord Meredith's suggestion to open the Hexfly Gate."

"Why?" Mel stood suddenly, her eyes fixed on the parchment.

Several of the past councillors were opposed to the closure of the flying door, and the parchment was soon passed into her hands, and she began to read it intently:

"Noxus Notice:"

Piltover had three options: "

"First, maintain the status quo, as long as Noxus' army transportation and resource supply are maintained, Noxus will not participate in any internal chaos."

"Second, there is a lack of resources and the supply of flying gates, so that the army of Noxus will come to Piltover in person."

"3. Give the supreme power to Ryan Meredith, and from now on become part of Noxus, and Zaun will be erased."

"—The Supreme Emperor of Noxus, written by Darkwell himself."

On the parchment scroll, there is also the national seal of Noxus. Obviously, if the parchment does not serve its purpose of informing, then it is a war letter, or a letter of appointment.

"Impossible, we Piltover are on our own, without interference from other forces."

Jace suddenly got up after reading the parchment roll, glaring at Ryan who had just sat down.

"Councillor Tallis, this is a notice from the Immortal Fortress, if it weren't for the Empire's army at the same time waging war with the Four Kingdoms, it would have captured Piltover at this moment." Ryan didn't even lift his eyelids, still fiddling with the ring in his hand.

"I..."

"Alright, Councillor Tallis, I think option one is a good one, but we're a little powerless against Upper Zuan, and Noxus has to give us some help." Mel had helplessness on his face.

She didn't want Noxus to interfere with it, but now that it had come to this, it was the point of whether she could get some real benefits.

If the Empire is willing to help, Zaun is only a minor problem.

"Assistance?" Ryan looked at her with a smirk, "I don't know if you mind bringing you a councilor." ”
