An Infinite Journey From the Sea of ​​Stones

"Steven is dead." Camille responded indifferently and coldly

"The rescue failed, he was bleeding heavily all over his body, and he passed away 25 minutes ago. The current Patriarch of the Ferros family is my grandniece, and I will temporarily take over all her current positions!"

Camille's words are full of irrefutable confidence and decisiveness. The style of Mrs. Gray is the same as her person, like a knife cutting in the cold

"But I've never heard of the so-called state of emergency regulations!" Jess still stubbornly denied

"It didn't matter if he didn't have it in the past, but now he has it."

An arrogant voice came from Camille's skill, Mel's eyes narrowed slightly, and what appeared behind Camille was her mother Machiya!

Wearing her Noxus-style attire, she walked into the council hall resolutely, like a victorious general walking into a conquered land.

"On behalf of Noxus, I offer you two options."

Machia's arrogant eyes swept across the parliament, and said firmly

"The closing of the Hexgate is not allowed. The empire's war requires you to transport resources and supplies. Your civil war empire will not intervene, but the closing of the Hexgate will be regarded as your rebellion against the Empire. !"

"This is Piltover!" Caitlin shrieked.

Machiya didn't even pay attention to the little girl, and continued to say coldly

"The empire's inquiry will only get two results. Agree, or be destroyed!"

"And in my personal opinion and General Du Kecao's, we will appoint Ms. Camille Ferros as the highest authority during the state of emergency in Piltover!"

Machia's words are an out-and-out humiliation to any sovereign country, it can almost be said that they are stepping on their faces and severely humiliating their dignity.

Caitlin wanted to explode on the spot, but Jess grabbed her and asked, holding back his anger

"Piltover is a city-state with sovereignty and freedom. If you want to order us as Noxus, please produce official documents!"

"Official documents? Mel's pet boy, your innocence made me laugh." Machia grinned mockingly

"The empire doesn't need to issue any orders to you. The attitude of Du Kecao and I is that of the four armies! As long as we think about it, your tiny city-state will be reduced to ashes in no more than seven days!"

"You seem to have got something wrong. The only choices we give you are accept or deny, and violate sovereignty? We are just sending a more capable person to a more suitable position, bypassing your stupid and ridiculous democracy."

Jess's brain was bulging after being told, he looked at the silent Cinderella, and said in a deep voice

"Is this what Gray Lady did? Attract a foreign warlord and then invade Piltover's sovereignty?"

"I chose to join forces with General Machia only because she is efficient enough." Camille replied calmly and indifferently.

"Even if I don't need the support of General Machia, I can get more than five votes on this table to choose to support me. But I don't want to waste unnecessary time with you. Piltover needs a brain now, and Ferros The family can take on this important responsibility!"

Does Camille hate Noxus?of course!

Whether it is the war masons they sent to Piltover, or their forced requisition of part of the Hexgate for the war, Camille, who is proud of Piltover, cannot tolerate it!

But reason told her that it was worthless to choose stupid and ignorant recklessness because of pure patriotism.

The biggest enemy facing Piltover is Zaun, not Noxus, and Camille knows that now is the most critical moment if he wants Piltover to gain respectable sovereignty in the future !

At this moment, Noxus is unprecedentedly weak, and it is about to usher in a huge take-off and even greater weakness at the same time.

Camille had seen the High Commander, the ambitious man who had drawn unimaginable strength from defeat, and had gathered too many Noxian strongmen under his wing.

General Darius, the Hand of Noxus, Delevingne the Glorious Executioner, Kreed the Crazy Major General of the Yordle, the former Trifari Legion as the foundation and team, the feats established in the conquest of Shurima became the foundation of his establishment. The Roots of the Trifari Council!

And the only ones who chose to support that emperor were the black rose of the pale lady in the shadows, and the scarlet church that gathered a large number of corrupt nobles.

Perhaps these two have a strong ability to play with secrets in the shadows, but they are definitely not opponents of the frontal army!

Even Du Kecao, who supported Emperor Darkwill, and the Mirdard family in front of him began to have ambiguous attitudes.

The Grand Commander aspires to build the strongest Noxus, an empire where the strong are respected, rejuvenated, and applied upwards!

In order to achieve all this, there is no doubt that he will sweep away all the old forces in the country.

Noxus may rise to new heights in the hands of such a talented leader, but until then—

The entire Noxus will be weaker than ever.

At the same time, the act of going to war with the four countries would have hollowed out this huge behemoth, and the civil strife for a minimum of three years was enough to make Noxus enter a dormant period.

Camille thought that this would be the time when Piltover would rise up and completely get rid of the threat of Noxus - but at this time, Zaun rose to make trouble again!

Therefore, the most important thing at this stage is to completely suppress the rebellion in Zaun. This is the most efficient and fastest way.

Camille doesn't care about the infamy, but some things have to be done!

"I thought that by handing Piltover into your hands, you could create a better city and a positive future."

Camille walked towards the center of the council table, stepping on the ground with both feet, making the sound of blades colliding

"If you can't better safeguard the future of Piltover, then let me come. From now on, my voice is the voice of Piltover!"

He sat down on the chair at the center of the council table. It was an empty chair forever, a seat that would not be canceled no matter how many MPs were added!

That chair belonged to the Philos family.

Once he belonged to Stevan Fellowes, the aging MP who hardly ever attended meetings.But maybe he was there that day?Maybe again...

Caitlin suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility, and she looked at Camille in disbelief, but no emotion was missing from those blue eyes.

She sat down slowly, with her blade-like legs crossed and overlapping, her hands resting on the armrests, she looked like a queen in the shadows.

Machia took the lead in applauding, Mel followed closely behind, Heimerdinger sighed and said nothing, while Caitlin and Jess were livid.

The younger members knew nothing about the influence of the Philos family. If Heimerdinger was the founder of Piltover technology, then the Philos family was the founder of Hex technology.

Half of the city belongs to the council, and the other half belongs to the Philos family!

Even if the position of the richest man is taken away by Myrdalda, it doesn't matter. No one knows the power of Pheros in the shadows. Some people even think that there is a secret army of Piltover under the Pheros family!

They guessed right.

"There are countless problems with Piltover, but dealing with Zaun is the first one that must be resolved." Camille crossed her hands calmly and indifferently.

"The operation of the Hexfly Gate will continue, but more reliable people must be sent to supervise all of this. And, I will limit the number of Hexfly Gate shuttles, except for the necessary parts, and the rest may be used to fund Zaun's All materials must be restricted from traveling!"

"It's impossible, what's the difference between you doing this and closing the Hexfly door?" Mel exclaimed

"Then just let those entrepreneurs, those factory owners, and those families come to us!" Camille said indifferently

"The factory will produce as usual, and the materials will still be sufficient. There will be no food dumped into the sea, and no food will be sold to the people of Piltover. There won't be any."

Mel heard the obvious coldness from Camille's words, and she was born in Noxus, of course she understood what Camille wanted to do.

In a word, she wants to make herself and the power of the parliament a big hand in the market economy, and use her will to interfere and control all economic transactions during the war!

Simply a tyrant—

Tyrant of Piltover.

49. The new master of the downtown

Downtown, Forgan's Pub

Shirko's unrecognizable body was moved under the statue of Vander, and a simple wooden coffin contained the body of the former leader of the lower city.

His barely human form was covered with fake flowers, whether it was his subordinates, or Zaun, or something else—

They stood here in silence, assembled at Silko's funeral, taking off their hats in honor of the leader's death.

Shirko is not a qualified leader.

Ike, who hid in the crowd to participate in this silent memorial service, thought so.

Zaun doesn't know how many people died under his twilight, and they are absolutely qualified to condemn like this-Silko is not a qualified leader.

But he was at least a leader, he was at least a leader, just like Van der once-his funeral did not have a body, but there were still many people mourning him.

You can't be liked by everyone in this world, you can only make those who hate you forget you.

Looking up, the dark city is oppressive and suffocating, and the terrifying reality seems to destroy their reason at any time.

Ike suddenly wanted to laugh, Zaun's leader change is really fast, and they will usher in the next ruler in such a short time.

Moreover, he is probably worse than Van der and Shirko.

In front of Silko's corpse, Victor, who held the mechanical scepter in his hand, said nothing, and the countless pairs of gazes focused on him were numb and earnest.

The people of Zaun long for a strong leader to lead them to tear Leather City apart, but Zaun is used to being trampled by every 'great' leader.

Vander led them to charge the bridge, only to give up as they rushed across it, making their casualties a joke.

Silko's removal of Vandel brought them a gleam, only to allow the potion to flood Zaun's subterranean world and cause more casualties.

Victor, the mechanical pioneer in front of him, was even more powerful. He alone represented Zaun and Picheng to declare war and independence, and destroyed all the bridges and elevators connecting the upper city.

But what does he want to do?Or what kind of suffering will he bring to them next?

Will he start with an impassioned speech, or will he smash the heads of all who disobey?

In the eyes of everyone, Victor spoke.

The first sentence is something that no one would have thought of.

"The food and drinking water below Zaun are only enough for everyone to live for fourteen days." Victor said indifferently

"The number of haze respirators is insufficient, and the production factories have been shut down. It is estimated that you who have completely cut off contact with Picheng can only survive 60.00% after one month."

Victor's first sentence was actually a report of data—and it was not a good data at all!

After knowing that he and the people around him may only live for a month at most, all the people of Zaun were in an uproar, followed by a lot of discordant voices.

They began to accuse Victor of not acting on his own initiative and cutting off his connection with Piltover!

And almost all of these people applauded Victor's behavior a few days ago, and even admired him extremely.

Human nature is so fragile, once all worship and joy are involved in one's own interests, it will be subverted in an instant.

Faced with these discordant voices, Victor directly raised his arm behind his back and shot out a death ray.

The deep scorched death trace on the ground silenced all voices in an instant.

Violence is always the best way to silence people.

I don't agree with you, the best way is to make you no longer have the right to speak.

"I can't produce food and drinking water for you. The arable land near Zaun can't survive vegetation, lack of materials, and I lack the resources for organisms to survive normally." Victor said in a cold voice like a good news report

"However, I have a way for you to survive in another form!"

He pulled away the cloth next to him, amidst the exclamation and greed, there was a mountain of shimmering potions!

These were originally the potions that Vander had hoarded to deal with the upper city, but now they are all cheaper for Victor.

"These low-light agents can maintain the life of the organism and move freely without relying on diet and drinking water. The injection will change the body structure of the organism." Victor continued with a serious look.

"Relying on these substances, Zaun can continue to support for about 20 days, but the price is that about 80.00% of people will be addicted to it after one month."

Ike, who was hiding in the crowd, didn't know whether he should be angry or funny. If Victor really did this, he must be a more brutal and crazy leader than Shirko, but he actually made all this open and honest.

"But I don't intend to sit still." Victor glanced at those greedy eyes and said coldly

"The shimmer potion will only be given priority to those who are willing to participate in the battle, and for the other group of people, I will provide you with a second choice."

With his left hand, he took out a shining hex crystal from his waist. This precious azure gem reflected a strange color under the ambiguous light of Zaun.

Everyone fell into a strange silence, and in an instant, it seemed that many people understood what Victor wanted to do!

They looked at Victor with fear in their eyes!

This lunatic - he actually wants to transform them into cyborgs, cut off their flesh and replace them with hex augments, and put them on the battlefield!

"You want to replace our bodies, no way! You mechanical freak!!!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, but Victor ignored the noise and just said flatly

"I won't force you to join the glorious evolution to get rid of your stinky skins. I occupy those factories to improve the production line to manufacture automatic combat machines and weapons with sufficient firepower. After about ten days, I will lead them to attack Piltover."

Victor spoke out his appalling battle plan so bluntly, making the place quiet again.

"Freedom and dignity can only be achieved by beating the opponent until they can't get up." Victor continued softly

"Uptown has exploited too many things from us. We have too many things that belong to us that have been taken away by them openly. The distribution of resources is uneven. I should take back our things."

"I'm a Zaunian, too, or at least I was. I left my skin behind because frail flesh doesn't survive in Zaun."

"From the day our children are born, they have to face poisonous rivers, flowing industrial waste water, dust haze that hits from time to time, and terrible alchemy gas leaks."
