Chapter 87 The enemy is coming?(1/2)
Caitlin noticed Vi's hesitation.
So she helped Wei correct his "wrong thinking" while the iron was hot: "Wei, the radical line will not work."
"The strength of Piltover is far greater than that of Zaun, and the huge interest network behind Piltover is firmly involved in a powerful empire like Noxus."
"Depending on the strength of the leader, it is simply impossible to win through bloody struggle——"
"On this point, President Levi and Vice President Victor also agree."
"Uh" It's okay that Caitlin didn't mention Levi and Victor. When she mentioned them, Wei's expression became weird.
Because she knew very well that Levi was actually a staunch violent fighter.
Those nonsense about mild reform are all made up by him to deceive people.
Um. Wei secretly glanced at Caitlin - yes, it is used to fool noble ladies like this.
But deception is deception, because President Li Wei promotes moderate reforms to the outside world, so in the eyes of moderates such as Caitlin and the current leader:
They moderates are the orthodox ones. Radicals like Wei are the ones who have gone astray.
"Wei." Caitlin thought Wei's silence was an ideological struggle: "Think about it again."
She chatted with Wei very patiently, trying to win him over.
"Haha." Wei was not as good at talking as she was, and it was difficult to expose the truth and bring Li Wei out, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to listen.
Finally, someone came over and interrupted their conversation.
It's Victor.
Victor looks quite different than he did a week ago.
He improved the mechanical exoskeleton he had improvised a week ago into a set of Hex mechanical armor that was shiny with brass, was lighter, closer to the body, and could provide mechanical assistance to the human body.
Now he is wearing this suit of armor when he goes out to meet people. He doesn't look like a university professor at all, but more like a mechanical warrior.
"Professor Victor, what are you doing?" Caitlin was also familiar with Victor, so she couldn't help but ask: "Why are you dressed like this for the meeting?"
"Oh, this one"
Victor's personality seems to be much more lively than when he wasn't wearing armor.
He spread out the palms of his hands that were no longer on crutches and stamped on his once limping and flexible legs:
"This is the walking assistance armor for disabled people that I use to replace crutches."
Caitlin: "."
But Victor did not lie.
Ever since I put on this Hex mechanical power armor, I felt the flexibility and freedom of my legs and feet, and the infinite strength.
Victor never wanted to take it off again.
He really uses this thing as a "walking aid" and even wears it as part of his own body.
It feels so good to be an Iron Man.
If possible, he really wanted to replace his body with iron.
"Okay." Caitlin reluctantly accepted this view.
Vice President Victor happened to be here, so she pointed at Wei beside her and said to Victor:
"Professor Victor, please tell me too."
"This guy is a stubborn radical and completely runs counter to the correct line adhered to by President Levi."
"I think as the vice president, you should stand up and take a stand to correct the erroneous radical ideas popular among the leaders."
"Eh" Seeing Wei and many people around him looking at him with concern, Victor's expression suddenly became subtle.
He suddenly regretted not putting on his helmet too——
This way he can cover his face and save his poor acting skills.
"Well, Caitlin is right. We still have to fight for it in a non-violent way," Victor tried to say seriously.
"Understood, Wei? Violence won't solve the problem."
"I" Wei looked at Victor's steel suit and the "third hand" dangling behind his back, and felt that his words were unconvincing.
Sure enough, Victor quickly brought up the topic:
"Wei, this is the gift Levi asked me to give you."
"He said this thing suits you very well. Maybe you can try it on."
As he spoke, he opened the large suitcase he carried with him.
Inside the box is a pair of steel gauntlets inlaid with Hextech gems.
"This is it again." Caitlin vaguely felt something was wrong.
"Jace and I invented the Hex Miner's Gloves. Well, they are used for mining."
Caitlin: "."
She had heard from Jace that these miners' gloves were indeed for miners.
But if you leave it in the hands of a little girl from Zaun, you can't let Wei wear this thing and go back to Zaun to mine, right?
"This is a Hex weapon! Professor Victor, how could you put such a dangerous weapon in the hands of an uncontrolled radical?"
Caitlin strongly disagreed.
Victor had no choice but to explain: "Vi's ability is very strong and is suitable for this weapon. We only gave her the weapon to enhance the leader's self-defense strength, yes."
"The weapons of our leaders are only self-defense weapons, not military weapons. These weapons are only for self-protection and cannot be used for external combat."
"Understood, Vi?"
"Yes!" Wei couldn't wait to hold the gloves in her arms, her eyes shining: "I understand!"
Caitlin: "."
You know what the hell!
After Wei put on the Hex gloves, she could hardly hide the ferocious smile on her face.
Caitlin felt more and more uneasy as she watched.
She believed that Levi allowed the wrong ideas of radicals to spread internally, and even handed Hex weapons into the hands of radicals like Wei, which would lead to catastrophe sooner or later.
"It seems like we need to find an opportunity to have a good chat with Levi." Caitlin thought in her mind.
But at this time, Levi had already stood on the podium and announced that the leader's plenary meeting had officially begun.
Including Wei and Caitlin, more than 500 leaders fell silent collectively.
And the thin white threads drawn from their bodies were still clearly visible above their heads.
Looking around, the venue was filled with fluorescent lights.
The light is bright and dark, like stars.
Then Li Wei looked at these "threads of faith" and said to everyone:
"I think everyone must have noticed recently that there are ideological differences between moderate and radical ideas within us."
"Yes!" Everyone nodded.
Caitlin straightened her body even more carefully:
Finally, Levi talked about this issue!
She waited for him to clarify the correct course as the president and correct radicals like Wei who had gone astray in a timely manner.
But what Li Wei said at this time was: "Actually, there is no need to discuss this issue at all."
"Because the enemy has already chosen the path for us."
"Huh?" The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became subtle.
Although Li Wei hasn't said it clearly yet, the word "enemy" in his words has already implicitly explained many problems.
Sure enough, just listen to what Li Wei said next:
"I have some sad news for you all——"
"The Piltover Council has secretly reached a resolution to completely eliminate our Wind Leader Association by force."
"The congressmen have clearly issued a warrant, saying that we have become deeply banditized and cannot be saved. Anyone involved with the leader, regardless of men, women, old or young, will be wiped out in Zuampi City, and no one will be left alive."
This shocking news stunned everyone present as soon as it was thrown out.
The more than 500 people present suddenly became a mess.
"No, this is impossible!" Caitlin stood up from the audience in disbelief: "President Levi, are you kidding? The Piltover Council is going to encircle and suppress the Wind Leader, and I haven't received any news.
?”
"Hey, Caitlin" Levi sighed sadly: "I'm sorry, what I said is true."
