Before dawn, the council tower was filled with councillors and magistrates, and of the restless councillors, Kassandra was the most emaciated, who seemed to have cried all night, and the woman's eyes were a little puffy and red, which was pitiful.

All the councillors knew the bad news that the daughter of the family of Gilamaon had not returned all night, and the crowd who had been dancing in their sleeves before taking their seats had already expressed their deep feelings to Councillor Kassandra.

The news of the annihilation of Randall's squad was transmitted back to the General Bureau of Law Enforcement as early as last night, and Deputy Sergeant Marcos personally came to the door to apologize, and the response was that Caitlyn was 'missing' in the chaotic battle,

Further finding out Caitlin's whereabouts became impossible now, and in just one night, the alchemical monster from Zaun had penetrated the dam area and the coastal Lower Piltover district, hanging the heads of hundreds of magistrates out of the streets.

In this sudden war, many of the coastal residents of Piltover were also killed, and if it had not been for Vander's men to stop the frenzied alchemists, Piltover would have suffered more casualties.

Unable to hold the line, the magistrate had to abandon the coastal area altogether and place the new line on Moreton Street, which had a relatively good view.

Because the permission to use heavy weapons has not yet been approved by the council, the law enforcement officers who are urgently transferred to the front line can only rely on the rifles in their hands to stop the alchemy warriors of Zu'an, and they can hold the front.

As for the communiqué's personal vendetta, because he was jealous of Caitlin's talent and background, through illegal operations, the law enforcement team leader Li Nas, who transferred Caitlin who should not have been to the front line, to Randall's team, was deprived of his position as a law enforcement officer and citizenship overnight by the General Administration of Law Enforcement, and was temporarily imprisoned in the prison of the General Administration of Law Enforcement.

Although the crime is not to death, the former magistrate Linus, who has no background but offended the Gillamane family, is likely to be transferred to the stillwater prison for the rest of his life, if the Gillamon family is willing to operate in the dark, the former sheriff Linas will only end up dying of illness in the cell.

The reparations for the Gillamon family stop there, meeting early in the morning, of course, because the councillors have a more pressing problem to solve.

"I think you all know the seriousness of the matter."

Before the chairman of the council, Heimerdinger, could speak, Mel Mydarda slapped the table and stood up and spoke first.

"There is no doubt that this is a war, a war started by the Zuans, and this war is by no means a small fight in the past, and we must understand that the Zuans have premeditated it, and if we do not respond in a timely and efficient manner, we will pay a terrible price.

Since we chose to launch the attack on the day of evolution, I am afraid that the city has already been mixed with a lot of Zu'an spies, and we need to face not only the attacks of the Zu'an alchemy warriors, but also the top priority to eliminate the Zu'an spies in the city to protect the property safety of citizens. ”

Councillor Horton, who looked serious, agreed, this time not because his seat was stuffed by the Myrdalda family, the gate of the sun was broken, the Hexfly gate was out of service, the factory of Zaun was out of control, and every minute of gold lost was like someone was cutting the flesh of his body with a blunt knife.

"Councillor Myrdarda is right, we're going to have to give these trenchers a little color! Let them understand how serious the consequences of disturbing public order are! ”

Congressman Gater chimed in.

"The Zaun people are out of control, and I propose to send law enforcement officers to carry out a full-scale crackdown and shoot all the rebels."

"Defeating the rebels in Zaun is simple, the key is how do we find the Zaun spies hiding in the city?"

Councillor Palmer looked at the crowd.

"You can't muster another group of sheriffs to conduct a city-wide search, right? The sheriff's strength is already stretched thin, and if the Zuans continue to build up their troops, we will have to urgently recruit a new batch of cadets from the sheriff school to join the battle. ”

Councillor Miriam hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Maybe this matter can be left to the people of the Philos family, and the secret agents of the Philos family are the most suitable to do this, but how can we convince the people of the Philos family to take over this matter?"

When the words fell, except for Heimerdinger, who lowered his head, and Kassandra, who was depressed and didn't want to speak, the other councillors looked at Mel together, the Philos family has the same imperial background as the Myrdalda family, and it is a good choice to let the Myrdalda family contact the people of the Philos family.

Facing everyone's eyes, Mel smiled slightly.

"I will send someone to contact the Philos family, but we can't just rely on the Philos family's spies to solve the problem, I propose that different areas be divided, and each family will send 'bloodhounds' to carry out the most basic counter-espionage activities."

As he spoke, Mel raised his right hand, and three seconds later, all seven councillors, including Heimerdinger, raised their right hands, and the bill was successfully passed.

While one problem has been solved, the atmosphere in parliament has not eased up in the face of another.

"Sheriff Grayson, I'm going to give the councillors a brief explanation of the current situation."

Nodding to Mel, Grayson, who had been sitting on the council, said in a deep voice.

"Since the fighting, the dam area and the coastal area have been lost one after another, and at present, I have arranged for Deputy Sergeant Marcos to personally sit on Morton Street to guide the evacuees, relying on the terrain to block the attack of the alchemist warriors, but the effect is not obvious, and the line can still be maintained during the day, and when the visibility is low at night, we will inevitably pay huge casualties.

Ladies and gentlemen, the alchemy warriors of Zuan have shown us an extremely terrifying fighting ability, their bodies have been strengthened by the Shimmer Elixir, they are not afraid of pain, they are infinitely powerful, they are swift and fearless of death, they can be described as a group of out-and-out mad monsters, and they must not be taken as common sense!

Although our law enforcement officers have a strong will to fight, if they only rely on the Mauser rifle, they are no match for these alchemy warriors, and the bullets of the Mauser rifle do extremely limited damage to the alchemy soldiers, and our law enforcement officers not only need more manpower to replenish, but also need heavy firepower permits. ”

"Heavy firepower license? Are you going to put the war in the city of progress? Do you know how powerful those shells are? ”

Councillor Horton stared at Grayson with some dissatisfaction, as the last member of the council, most of his family's private property was in the industrial area north of Moreton Street, if he was really bombed by the sheriff, wouldn't he have to lose his pants?

"Can you guarantee that heavy firepower will not harm our citizens?"

Grayson sighed softly.

"Councilor Horton, the sheriff is currently organizing the evacuation of the residents of Moreton Street, and I can only guarantee that I will do everything in my power to keep the enemy out of the line."

"'As far as I can?' , Sheriff Grayson, it seems to me that this is a sign of incompetence......"

Mel interrupted Keez Horton.

"Councillor Horton, I think the loss of the dam area and along the coast is enough to show how strong our enemy is...... Ladies and gentlemen, as I said earlier, Piltover has reached a critical juncture, and we must respond to this war with all our might.

I am in favor of giving magistrates the authority to use heavy firepower. ”

Under the vote, only Heimerdinger and Miriam did not raise their hands.

……

On the front line of Moreton Street, horse-drawn wagons hauling heavy weapons have arrived in the built-up area that has been converted into a battlefield, and high-wattage headlights are being installed in various places under the direction of electrical engineers to ensure that the light will dispel every inch of darkness and expose the enemy to gunfire when night comes.

Heavy firepower includes, but is not limited to, revolver-type Grimm machine guns, high-explosive mortars, and 35 large-caliber armor-piercing rifles and 20 Hex rifles purchased from the Noxian Empire.

In the afternoon, the assembled Zu'an alchemy warriors launched a tentative attack, more than a hundred alchemy warriors rushed from the end of the street, and the law enforcement officers who had already been ready to attack were full of firepower.

"Free fire! Kill these Zaun monsters! ”

"Mortar, three rapid fires!"

Deputy Sergeant Marcos gave the order, and for a moment, the net of fire far exceeding that of the Mauser rifle was on the other side of the street, and the heavy fire formed by the large-caliber rifle and the Hex rifle easily tore through the reinforced flesh of the alchemy warrior.

"Retreat! Fall back! ”

Seeing that Mrs. Pitworth had moved out of her heavy weapon, the Zaun departed in hatred, and soon retreated back into the lanes south of Morton Street.

"Deputy Sergeant Marcos, are you going to send someone to chase you?"

A law enforcement officer stepped forward, looking like he was raising his eyebrows.

"I think we should take this opportunity to drive these rats out of the ditch back to their stinking ditch!"

Marcos lowered his binoculars and frowned.

"Heavy firepower weapons are not available in the southern part of Morton Street, where the terrain is too complex to be used by quick-moving trenchers."

"Then we ......"

"Hold the position first, and then there will be a chance for them to pay!"

With the thwarted Zaun retreating from Moreton Street, Morton Street became the front line of confrontation between the magistrates' forces and the Zaun alchemists.

In the black alley of Zu'an, the previously lively and noisy Fugen Tavern has been cleared, and the alchemy warriors wearing alchemy jars are guarding the door, watching the big people of Zu'an rush in.

There are local underground gang leaders, alchemy barons who choose to join the black alleys, well-known workshop operators and alchemists, and those who refuse to follow the general trend of Zu'an, who have long been lying in coffins.

Fandel stood in front of the counter and skillfully bartended, and Hilco brought a glass of wine and smiled and greeted the visitors.

"Lady Gorask, how are things going lately?"

Dressed in a high-end custom white suit that stood out from the rest of the tavern, with a luxuriously crafted three-barreled pistol stuck in a pouch at his waist, and a snake-staff-shaped alchemy injection device floating beside him was both dangerous and desirable - the liquid in the snake staff was said to make the most stubborn stone speak with a low brow, like the small businesses that had been swallowed up by the Golasker Industries.

The young woman who walked in had half-black and half-gray hair, and the woman with light makeup took the cocktail handed by Hilco and shook it twice, took off the breathing filter elegantly and calmly, leaned against her lips and took a sip.

A woman's appearance is not beautiful, it can only be said to be upright, but it exudes a unique charm.

Among the Zaun's hierarchy of power, Lady Renata Gorasque is one of the most charismatic representatives, and has been sought after by many people, including some gang leaders or alchemist barons.

"Boss Tohilko's blessing, our products can't pass the gate of the sun, just such a small piece of land in Zuan can't eat the goods produced by Golask's industry, and you have to compensate me for the loss of so much."

Facing Renata's teasing, Hilco also smiled.

"Of course, the compensation is fine, just deduct it from my share, but Ms. Golasker should also understand that everything we are doing now is to pay a little less tax in the future,

When Zaun obtains the power that should belong to us, Golasker Industries will definitely do business all over the world, and when the time comes, Ms. Golask will be the richest woman in the world, and will you still care about my compensation, Madam? ”

"If it's Hilco's boss, I think I'll care."

The condescending woman lifted her fingertips, gently brushed Hilco's chest, and sat down on the seat with a wine glass, leaving Hilco with an elegant back.

A simple single action made Hilco's heart beat slightly faster,

Only when facing this collaborator who is more than ten years younger than himself, it is always easy for him to lose his usual calmness.

"Hilco, don't forget your old friend."

Hilco came to his senses and smiled again.

"I'm the most nostalgic, how can I forget my old friends? Baron Yoram, what do you want a glass of? ”

"You're welcome, Boss Hilco, I heard that there is a new cocktail in the Fogen Tavern, I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to try it?"

"Fandel, a glass of [Sunset]"

Vander pursed his lips and pulled out a brand new glass.

"Baron Finn, don't come unharmed."

"I'm just here for a few drinks, and you can discuss anything."

"Whiskey, then?"

"Whiskey."

"They are all brothers who made a fortune together, what are you polite."

Patting Baron Finn on the shoulder, Hilko greeted the Vortex Gang with a smile on his face, he didn't like to do these social things, but Van Del was unwilling to stand up, so he could only come.

When the Fugen Tavern was full of twelve people, the door of the tavern was closed by the alchemist warriors, and the twelve people were divided into four tables, and Vandel was bartending to watch, and Hilco stood up with his glass and smiled lightly at everyone.

"Everyone who can come here and are willing to give me Hilco a face, it is enough to show that everyone is a good brother who is willing to contribute to Zu An, since this is the case, let's not talk nonsense, for Zu An to get the respect he deserves, cheers!"

Twelve people with different expressions stood up and raised their glasses.

"Cheers!" (End of chapter)
