"what happened?"

No one could ignore the huge fireworks, and anyone who knew something about the relationship between Piltover and Zaun knew exactly what those words in the sky meant.

"boom!"

After being shocked, the first reaction of the legislators sitting in the audience was anger.They beat the armrests of their seats fiercely and roared: "What do those scum want to do? How dare they cause trouble during the Evolution Day celebration? Sheriff? Where is the sheriff?!"

Sheriff Marcos, who was responsible for maintaining security at the scene, also had a panicked look on his face. Although he had some private dealings with Hilko, he mostly just helped them smuggle some things, or whitewashed Zaun in front of Piltover's congressmen. Just peace.

Is Zaun independent?

Such a grand proposition was beyond the reach of a small police sergeant like him.

But now, with lawmakers roaring and guests from around the world watching, what else can Marcos do?

He had no choice but to rush to the Shuangcheng Bridge with his men in a panic, which was the only road connecting the upper city and the lower city.

With such a serious situation happening, Jess's speech was naturally forced to end in a hurry, because no one was interested in listening to him talk about his invention.

A group of people were at the Evolution Day celebration, anxiously waiting for a reply from the security team.

……

……

Twin Cities Bridge.

When Marcos arrived here with his security team members, what he saw was a large wave of Zaun people of all kinds. They were in ragged clothes, but they were menacing. The most striking thing was that the clothes on each of them were They all have more or less strange blue-purple limbs.

This is a Zaun army all equipped with [Light of Hex] prosthetics!

The leaders are Hilko and Fandel.

Hilko's prosthetic eyes were shining with a magnificent luster, while Fandel's originally ordinary pair of cast iron gloves had a lot of lines that looked like children's graffiti.The focal point of those lines is inlaid with a round Hex crystal.

That's right, after many years, Zaun finally completed research on the stabilization of Hex ore and produced an efficient and safe Hex crystal.

"Xilko, what on earth are you doing?!"

Marcus looked at the opposite side with shock and anger and asked.

"Oh, isn't this... Sheriff Marcos?"

Hilko took off the cigar in his mouth, puffed out a puff of smoke, and said jokingly, "Isn't it already written clearly about what we are going to do?"

He raised his head and motioned for Marcus to look toward the sky.

The group of words exploded by fireworks still hasn’t dissipated!

"Zu'an is independent..."

The expression on Marcus's face was extremely complicated, "You know this is impossible! The congressmen will not agree to such ridiculous conditions! It is really good for Zu An that you go back in time now."

"Hmph, I can make my own judgment on what to do for Zaun. I don't need you, a Piltover native, to teach me."

Silko handed Marcos a document indifferently, "These are our conditions. I know you can't make the decision, so I'll give you time to go back and show it to the congressmen. Either agree to these conditions, or ...Start the war!"

When he said the last two words, Hilko's eyes suddenly lit up with bright red light, and blazing high-energy rays shot out from his Hex prosthetic eyes, drawing a line on the ground of the bridge. Score hard.

Marcus took a few steps back in slight panic and hurried away with Hilko's letter.

……

……

Evolution Day celebration scene.

When Marcos submitted Hilko's conditions to the congressmen, the air suddenly became extremely solemn.

"Require Zaun to be autonomous, open to trade, and stop discharging sewage and waste gas..."

The congressmen did not even fully read what Hilko wrote before they became furious.

"This is impossible!"

"This is a blasphemy against Piltover!"

"How dare they?!"

"It must be punished!"

Seeing the behavior of the congressmen, although Marcos, as the police chief, felt that it was not surprising, a war between the two sides was not the result he wanted to see, so he advised him in a low voice: "Today is Evolution Day after all. It's causing a lot of trouble." Too big..."

"Just because it's Evolution Day, we can't lose Piltover's face in front of our friends all over the world!"

The deputies roared, "If you can't do it, we don't mind changing the police chief!"

"……Yes."

Marcus had no choice but to rush to the Twin Cities Bridge again with more of his men with a tragic heart.

Tread-tap-

The boots of the security team officers made a uniform sound. Before the people arrived, Hilko had already understood Pi Cheng's answer.

This is natural, after all, they have not yet demonstrated Zaun's power.

"Bangbao, it's up to you."

Hilko turned to look at a blue-haired girl who was just one step behind him and Fander. In her hand, she held a shark-shaped rocket launcher that was almost harder than her own body.

Upon hearing this, the girl stepped forward and put the rocket launcher on her thin shoulders, but she seemed to be a little unsure of herself.She looked around at Hilko and Fandel, as well as Vi who was helping her hold the rocket launcher.

"Believe in yourself, you are the best."

Hilko patted her shoulder and encouraged her softly.

"Um……"

Bangbao's face became determined, and his finger pressed on the launch trigger.

Seeing their actions, Marcus's expression changed drastically, "Wait, what do you want to do?!"

Although he didn't quite believe that such a young girl could do anything earth-shattering, the rocket launcher tube looked a bit scary.

"What are you doing...just want to find another way to convince those high-ranking Picheng guys."

Hilko blew out a smoke ring leisurely, "Launch!"

boom!

Bang Bang pressed the trigger at the same time, and for a moment, a blue-purple light lit up on the shark barrel, and complex and beautiful lines finally converged on a Hex crystal.

Then--

boom! ! !

The deafening sound was almost deafening, and a shark rocket with a beautiful blue tail flame drew a long arc and flew into the sky of Piltover.

Then, it exploded in mid-air!

Endless light spread across the central square of Piltover, and the residents of Piltover who had gathered here for the celebration started shouting in horror.

Even the normally aloof congressmen, most of them were panicked. They didn't care about their noble and elegant appearance and looked for places to hide in panic.

After a long time, the light dissipated, and the entire square was silent.

After another period of terrible silence, a councilman smiled dryly and said: "Is this the confidence of Zu An? It's just a flash bomb..."

But before he finished speaking, Heimerdinger interrupted him.

The long-lived yordle looked at his disciple with a solemn expression: "Jace, that energy just now was the Hex Gem, right?"

"...I'm afraid so, Professor."

Jace was also shocked, but still answered truthfully.

"Then... this is not an empty threat. It seems that they have really mastered the method of using Hex energy in war."

Heimerdinger said, "This shot should just be a warning. If we still can't face up to their demands, then the next one may fall directly to you and me."

"This……"

Heimerdinger is the leading scientist in Piltover, and no one can question his judgment. In addition, with the support of Jace, a rising star scientist who can be called the father of Hex Technology, the MPs of Piltover Finally, he put aside his arrogance and prejudice and began to truly discuss the issue of Zu An.

Parliament hall.

Naturally, this kind of matter cannot be decided hastily in the square, so after they dismissed the people gathered there and appeased the friends from all over the world who came to watch the ceremony, they gathered again in this solemn hall.

"What do you think of the requests made by Zu An?"

"I still feel that I can't agree to it. Those demands are too outrageous. If we agree, where will our reputation go?"

"So you mean to start a war with Zaun? How to solve the Hex cannonball issue?"

"Then naturally we have to ask our father of Hex Technology."

Therefore, the congressmen turned their attention to Jace, who was specially allowed to observe. He studied Hex technology with him and made great contributions. Victor was not able to attend this meeting because he was from the bottom city.

"Mr. Tallis, let me ask, can you make the kind of weapon Zaun launched today?"

"This……"

Faced with the questioning from the MPs, Jess was in a dilemma.

The original intention of him and Victor to study Hex Technology was to improve people's livelihood, manage the environment, and seek development for the Twin Cities, not to manufacture weapons and bombs.

But now Zaun has taken this step, taking out the Hex weapon first and even using it to threaten Piltover.

Although Jace is kind-hearted, he is first and foremost a Piltover. If he had to choose, then the first target he would protect would definitely be Piltover.

So, after a long struggle, Jess spoke with a slightly difficult tone: "I need time..."

"how long?"

The congressmen would not be satisfied with an ambiguous answer, so someone continued to ask.

"...half a year."

"Okay, then, we will temporarily agree to their request for the next six months?"

It is impossible for someone who can reach the position of a member of parliament to be a dazed young man. Temporary forbearance is not unacceptable.

After some voting, except for Heimerdinger who abstained, the other MPs unanimously approved the decision.

……

……

When Marcos sent the agreement sealed by the parliament, Hilko and Fandel still couldn't believe it was true.

"We have been pursuing what you have been fighting for most of your life, and they actually agreed to it so easily? They didn't even have a head-on fight with us."

Hilko was a little skeptical.

Fandel's eyes filled with tears. He thought of his companions who had stormed the bridge with him before but were buried here forever.

But now that the Piltover Council has agreed to their conditions, no matter how suspicious Silko is, it is impossible to continue fighting because Fandel will not agree.

So both parties returned on their own, and the matter seemed to have been resolved satisfactorily.

but……

Although the two sides have reached a number of agreements, apart from the fact that Zaun Autonomous Piltover has indeed done so and no longer allow Piltover's peace officers to enter the laws of Zaun, other than requirements such as opening up trade and stopping the discharge of wastewater and gas, Piltover has Always putting it off again and again.

It takes time to transform pipelines, and all cargo ships are private. If you want to develop trade, you naturally need to use your own cargo ships.

When Hilko's questioning became more urgent, he just said: "We have already agreed to your autonomy, what else do you want? Other issues must be taken slowly, and one day they will be resolved."

Including the issue of Zaun's children going to school, Piltover is also very strict, and they will isolate them in the school, and even the teachers will treat them differently.

When asked, it's your children's fault. After this, the Zaun people who entered Pi City returned to Bottom City one after another.

"Oh!"

Hilko punched the table, "We were fooled! They have no sincerity at all!"

Fandel advised, "Don't be too anxious. After all, it has only been a short period of time. Wait until the time is longer..."

"When time passes, Piltover's Hex weapon will be released. By then, Zaun's advantage will be gone, and you will lose even the meager treatment you have now."

Araki suddenly appeared in the office and interrupted.

"Zunan's only advantage now is that it has taken the lead in the weaponization of Hex technology, but Piltover's heritage is far beyond what Zaun can match. They didn't think of doing this before, but now that you have reminded them Once you have enlightened yourself, it is only a matter of time before you catch up.

"At that time, Zaun's only advantage has been wiped out or even overtaken, and Pi City will give you a good accounting of the total ledger during this period!"

"What?! So that's what they planned!"

Silko believed it immediately, "No wonder they resisted measures that would really help improve Zaun's environment. It turns out they had no intention of doing so at all!"

"Wait, where did you get this news? Is it reliable?"

Fandel still didn't want to believe that he and others had been fooled.

"Hmph, you can understand by yourself when you go to the research institute in Piltover. The sound of forging there can last all night long!"

"Thank you for the information."

Hilko stood up, "It seems that there must be a real war. We must make them really feel the pain!"

……

……

That night, a Hex missile bombed the Capitol building in Piltover.

On the Bridge of Two Cities, Silko personally led his [Light of Hex] transformation troops, crushed the interception of the Piltover security team, and forced across the bridge.

"That's right!"

Araki's Im stood on the top of a building, watching the fighting in the streets of Piltover.

"How can there be real peace if only one side bleeds?"
