Rubik’s Cube of Heavens Chapter 45: Negotiation

Vandel couldn't sit still after hearing the news!

I thought it was serious enough to kill a few law enforcement officers before! Unexpectedly, there was an even greater number of deaths!

In this way, there will be no possibility of any reconciliation between Piltover and Zaun!

"When did it happen?!"

Fandre couldn't help asking loudly, he couldn't care less about whether Melo and Craig would overhear him.

He asked anxiously: "Why did no one tell me?!"

"What do you say?"

Kewen pointed to the carnival square outside: "Everyone is carnivaling, who will pay attention to the border market above? Even if someone wants to pay attention, I am afraid they will not be able to pass through the crowd outside."

Vander looked out the window.

Then he sighed heavily.

Holding his head and sitting on the bed, after a moment of daze, he raised his head and said to Ke Wen: "Is there any other news?! For example, is there any troop transfer from the upper city?! How are the nobles doing?!"

"Didn't see it."

Kewen shook his head: "The inside of Picheng is still relatively safe, only the area around the bridge is surrounded by law enforcement officers. As for the nobles, it is estimated that there will be a meeting before deciding whether to send private armed forces."

"No more delay!"

Fandre got up and walked towards the door: "The defense must be organized as soon as possible! Negotiations with those alchemy barons must be done as soon as possible!"

Without even having time to greet Cowen, Vander rushed down the stairs anxiously.

Kevin opened his mouth, but he didn't have time to remind Van der to be careful of Silko recently.

But forget it, the plot has changed.

Even in the original plot, Silko's intention was not to kill Vandel.

It's just that Wei's rescue operation made the matter unavoidable, and then the explosive intervention brought the matter to the worst ending.

But now Wei and Baobo are no longer adopted by Van der, and Van der's mentality has changed, so Silko has no reason to kill Van der.

So Kewen feels that it doesn't matter whether he reminds Fandel or not. If the inertia of the plot really appears, it's a big deal to let Weihe go for a while.

Thinking of this, Ke Wen simply drilled out of the window, and then went back to the repair shop after a lot of effort.

…

Unknowingly, the night passed.

After the people of Zaun spent the whole night of carnival, the crowd finally dispersed gradually under exhaustion.

Fandre didn't have time to rest, so he immediately sent people to the border market to keep an eye on it, and sent people to report the movement of the upper city at any time.

Then he took a few men armed with guns and went to the middle square, looking for those alchemy barons to negotiate.

In the upper city, there were also many people who stayed awake that night.

Just after the early morning, all the nobles gathered in the parliament hall to put pressure on the councilors to come up with a countermeasure that would satisfy everyone.

This time Heimerdinger was very sober.

He no longer took the initiative to express his opinions, but sat in a chair and observed everyone silently.

Under his observation, he found that the attitudes of the congressmen were not uniform.

Among the seven-member council, apart from Heimerdinger, the two councilors from the Gilamann and Myrdalda families belong to the peace faction, or in other words, they seem to be more pursuing stability.

As for the little yellow-haired young man of the Hoscar family and the mentally handicapped old man of the Salo family, they are pure waste.

The two of them are afraid of war, but they have no opinions and dare not express their own ideas, so they can only follow the trend.

The last two congressmen are complete hardliners!

A senator who has been mechanically transformed made a judgment from the perspective of law, so he insisted on sending troops to Zaun!

The same is true of another black bald female MP from the Worthlaton family.

When it was time for a show of hands to vote, Councilor Mechanical and Councilor Woslaton directly raised their hands and agreed to send troops to suppress the war.

Under the oppression of the nobles present at the meeting, the opinionless MPs Hoskar and Salo could only raise their hands in a daze, and they followed suit and voted for it.

Heimerdinger, Myrdalda, and Gilamann, although the three of them did not raise their hands, they voted four to three, and their opinions are no longer important.

The resolution of the council is hereby established!

Soon, all the law enforcement officers in the city were armed and rushed to the bridge except for some necessary patrolling personnel.

The explosion-proof shields of the mechanism were set on the bridge, and the artillery placed on the coastal city wall was moved over, aiming the muzzle at the border market in Zaun.

The bridge and all the commanding heights are covered with law enforcement officers, and all law enforcement officers are armed with powerful rifles, ready to shoot any Zaun people who dare to approach the bridge at any time!

The order of the parliament is to block the whole country!

The council did not let the law enforcement officers break into the border market, but passively defended first.

If the people of Zaun dare to attack the bridge, then Piltover will let the people of Zaun know what the baptism of gunfire is!

After the baptism of artillery fire, the law enforcement officer will advance to Zaun and kill all Zaun people who dare to stand up!

…

The layout of Leather City was quickly brought to Zaun by the spies.

In a hall in the middle square, spies kept rushing in to announce the news.

With the increasing information, finally a baron of alchemy couldn't bear it anymore!

Peng——

The desktop was slapped hard!

The alchemy baron with the skull pattern tattooed on his face suddenly roared: "Fandre!

Look at the good things you dark laners are doing!

”

He raised his hand and gestured to all the alchemy barons present.

Then he continued to roar: "Now Piltover has completely sealed off the lower city! None of us can get out! All the goods! They are all blocked by that side!

Who will bear these losses? ! "

"That's right!"

Another well-dressed alchemy baron echoed in a deep voice: "The upper city not only blocked our side! It also blocked the flow of supplies to the lower city! Vander!"

He got up and made a forward leaning posture, supported the table with both hands, stared at Vandel and asked, "There is no input channel for supplies! Do you want all the Zaun people to starve to death?! "

The baron of tattoo alchemy shouted: "You must give everyone an explanation!"

Kacha——

The atmosphere was too tense, and the gangsters who came with Van der raised their guns and loaded their bullets!

Fandre immediately raised his right hand to stop the impulse of his subordinates.

Then he looked around at all the alchemy barons and said in a deep voice: "What do you want to say? Or, until now, do you still have any unrealistic hopes?!"

Fandre stood up slowly, and said slowly: "The situation of the war has been completely formed! Do you think that this time, you can still settle the matter by sending people out?!"

Peng!

The sudden slap on the table startled everyone.

Vander also leaned forward, growling fiercely in his eyes: "The only way we can go is war! And we must unite to face it!"

"No way!"

Another alchemy baron made a voice, and he said with a low voice: "Fandre! You can't involve us! You must know! We are the pillars of the entire Zaun!"

"You can have an accident! The black alley can have an accident! But we can't!"

"Without us, Zaun will lose all jobs! Without us! All Zaunites will lose their income!"

"Zuan is suffering enough!"

"Fandre!" The alchemy baron raised his voice: "Do you want all Zaun people to become those gangsters in the dark alleys?! The gangsters who can only rely on thieves to get by?!"

Hearing this, Van der immediately retorted loudly: "Then lost?! Lost the war?! Have you thought about it?!"

He pointed to everyone in a circle: "If you lose the war! You will suffer greater oppression and exploitation from the upper city! At that time! How are you alchemy barons different from the gangsters in the black alley?! Do you still think that you can keep the current interests?!"

Coax——

The scene suddenly became noisy.

All the alchemy barons are discussing with each other.

But things didn't turn out the way Vander had hoped.

After the discussion, the alchemy barons agreed. They were stubborn and would never agree to provide manpower and other assistance to Fandre.

Vander continued to fight, but with little success.

Even if he talked about moving a few alchemy barons, those few people did not dare to defy the collective will of the alchemy barons.

In the end, Van der only got a guarantee, that the alchemy barons promised not to hold back during the war, and they would never reach out to the black alley.

But in exchange, Van der must resolve the blockade of the upper city as soon as possible, and must not bring the flames of war to the middle square!

Vandel is very disappointed! But not extremely disappointed.

Because he had anticipated this result before coming to negotiate.

His original intention was to try to keep these alchemy barons from holding back, but he failed to gain more support, which was expected.

Therefore, Van der finally let go of some harsh words.

He said that if anyone dares to violate the agreement, he will come back to deal with the other party even if he loses the war!

After speaking, he ignored the ugly faces of the alchemy barons, got up and led his men out of the factory.

At the same time that Van der led the people back to the dark alley, a thin young man with a cockscomb head walked into Benso's shop.

"Boss Benso!"

He said to Benso who was standing inside the counter: "Something went wrong in the negotiations with Boss Van der!"

"Something went wrong?" Ben Suo wondered, "Who are you? Why don't I have any impression?"

"I joined Boss Van der's subordinates today."

The young man said proudly: "I come from the middle square, and I also want to fight for Zaun to the upper city! Boss Vander accepted my refuge there!"

Benso nodded, and he asked without thinking: "Tell me, what's the problem? Has the negotiation with the Alchemy Baron failed?"

"I don't know."

The young man shook his head: "It seems to be about business, I don't understand, anyway, Boss Van der asked me to come back and call you, what is it..."

Trying to think about it, the young man went on to say: "That's right! Representative! It seems that Boss Bensuo is asking you to negotiate something as a representative of the black alley shop."

Hearing this, Ben Suo frowned slightly.

He came out from the counter and told the black-skinned, white-haired boy who was repairing things in the corner of the front hall: "Ike, watch the shop for me."

"Huh?"

The ten-year-old boy turned his head, and he asked reluctantly, "How long will it take? I plan to go to the Jade Bird Gang after I finish my work."

Ben Suo did not give a letter of approval, but ordered in a low voice: "Look at the house, if you lose something, I will go to the Jade Bird Gang to claim compensation."

After finishing speaking, Bensuo tilted his chin to the young man who had reported to him to show him to lead the way.

The store door was closed, and the little Douding named Ike stomped his feet depressedly, and complained in a whimper.

The other side.

Vander led the people back to the bar and continued to arrange preparations for the war.

At noon, he realized that Ben Suo hadn't shown up.

Ask the people around, but no one has seen Ben Suo today.

Because there are too many things, he is not allowed to think too much for the time being.

It was not until some important work was arranged in the afternoon that Van der walked out of the bar and planned to visit Benso's shop.

As he was about to reach his destination, a call made him stop.

It's still the young man with the cockscomb head.

He ran up to Van der and said with admiration: "Boss Van der! My name is Dirk! I want to join you!

”

"Dirk..."

Vandel looked at the other party, and asked with a smile: "Why do you want to join us? The next step is to face a war! It's dangerous!"

"I'm not afraid!"

Dirk puffed up his chest: "Boss Benso said! As long as you have a heart that dares to die for Zaun! Then everyone is eligible to join this battle!"

"Benso said that?" Fander looked helplessly at the shop tens of meters away, and then sighed: "This **** is really messing around."

"Boss Bensuo is also kind. If we want to fight against Shangcheng, we should have a bigger team!"

Dirk pointed upwards: "That's why Boss Benso thinks that it's not enough to rely on the people in the dark alley. He is gathering more people in the middle square."

"Middle Plaza?"

Fandre was taken aback, and looked up.

All that caught the eye was thick fog.

So he looked back and shook his head and said: "This guy Benso is a waste of time, the middle square is full of baron people, how many people can he recruit..."

After finishing speaking, he said to Dirk: "Come on, do you know where he is now? Take me there, boy."

"No problem!"

Dirk looked honored, and he immediately turned to lead the way.

Fander followed.

While passing by Benso's store~IndoMTL.com~he glanced inside through the window and found that only Ike Xiaodouding was left in the store to watch the house.

This made him shake his head speechlessly again.

Smiled at Ike who was looking over through the window, and then Vander quickened his pace.

But Ike Xiaodouding in the shop was stunned.

He wondered why Van der could not pass through the door, so he ran out of the front desk and opened the store door.

Ike stood at the door and looked in the direction of Van der's departure, and suddenly he was taken aback again.

Because he saw the young man with the cockscomb head.

This made him even more strange. Ben Suo followed that person before, but now it was replaced by Van der.

Ike's curiosity grew stronger.

He couldn't hold back his curiosity in the end, and immediately closed the shop and followed secretly...
