Chapter 461 Surrender
The "Bridge of Progress" was lost so quickly that it was unimaginable.

Before the coalition forces of the major business families of "Piltover" could reach the "Bridge of Progress", the defeated army had already retreated into the city.

Such a scene was obviously unexpected for everyone, but at this point, there was nothing more for them to say and they just had to rush up and plug the gap.

If nothing else, the very least we must do is push the enemy's front line back to the "Bridge of Progress".

"These business families didn't want to help me retake Zaun, but now they have marched directly into Piltover!"

Seeing the current situation, Renata Golask couldn't help but feel a little happy.

After all, they had just been rejected by these "business families". Some even felt that they, the "Zuan people", were too weak and were actually crushed by a group of forces that appeared inexplicably.

Now it's all right. They don't have to doubt anything anymore. They can just take a look at the strength of these people for themselves to see whether they, the "Zuan people", are too weak or these people are just too abnormal.

Of course, it’s even wrong to call those guys “people.”

Renata Golask has tried it herself, and her "ultimate potion" has no effect on those "monsters", not even a single one of them. It's okay for those iron lumps, but why doesn't it even work on those "people"? There is only one possibility, that is, those guys are not human at all!
Those people are probably monsters like "Grey Lady" Camille, even more monstrous than this tech freak whose heart has become "Hex Crystal"!

"We must not let them wreak havoc in the city!"

At this time, Camille, the "Gray Lady" monster mentioned by Renata Golask, was already sweating profusely. Although she no longer sweated, she truly experienced that feeling at this time, and her nerves were completely tense.

Not only the "Grey Lady" Camille, but all the heads of business families who had been calm before are now all nervous, as the enemy has actually reached their lair!
"We can't stop it! We can't push the front line forward!"

Faced with the surging enemy, the "Piltover Alliance" that hurriedly joined the battlefield was unable to organize an effective defense line.

There is no way. They are originally the private defense forces of each family. It is a blessing that they are not hostile to each other, let alone cooperating with each other in military operations.

This "Piltover Alliance" was forced together, and once an unexpected problem occurred, they would be unable to coordinate operations.

For example, now, when the androids and mechanical troops rushed into "Piltover" together, the "Piltover Coalition" could not block the gap at all. The defense line they opened was full of loopholes and was quickly broken by the androids and mechanical troops who coordinated as if one brain was directing the actions.

That's right, there really is one brain in command. These androids and mechanical troops are all commanded by the super AI "Xiaoyou", the crystallization of magic and science. Moreover, after coming to the ground, many things that were not used before were also used.

Swarms of drones, tanks, combat hovercraft, and various armed mechas all appeared on the scene one by one, making the "Piltover Coalition" scream in pain. Their Hextech weapons were indeed quite powerful and caused some damage to Ke Ling's troops.

However, compared to the "Piltover Alliance" composed of humans, Ke Ling's side's androids, mechanical troops, and various armored troops really don't feel sorry for any losses, because the losses are not as fast as the later ones.

In fact, even if it was a competition of manpower, even if Ke Ling also piled up human lives, "Piltover" could not beat him. Behind Ke Ling's "Shadow Gate" was the manpower of several worlds. "Piltover" was really fighting with their heads.

"This will never work!"

"Grey Lady" Camille quickly understood the situation. In fact, she didn't need to, because the battle line explained everything. The retreating "Piltover Coalition" obviously no longer had the ability to fight and couldn't push back at all.

"Mrs. Gray! What should we do now?!"

The heads of those business families were all dumbfounded. This was completely different from what they had imagined!

According to their thinking, once the "Piltover" heavenly soldiers arrived, the enemies would be defeated like chickens and dogs immediately. But now, they themselves have become the chickens and dogs.

"At this point, there is only one way to go."

Seeing this overwhelming defeat, what can the Grey Lady Camille do? She is just a spy leader.

In a small-scale battle, she could rely on her own abilities to turn the tide, but in this situation, she couldn't expect him to kill all the enemies, right? With so many enemies, even if they stood still and let her chop them, her legs would probably be bent by the chopping.

"What solution?! Which way?! It's already this late? Why are you still hiding it?!"

The heads of other business families were all extremely anxious. They looked at the "Grey Lady" Camille, hoping that she really could find a solution.

The Gray Lady Camille looked at the guy who was urging her in a hurry with a strange look, and then said calmly:
"The only way is to surrender."

As soon as "Grey Lady" Camille said this, the scene immediately became quiet, and then someone immediately left angrily with his people. It was obvious that they felt that "Grey Lady" Camille was unreliable.

Rather than not surrendering, it would be better to take your belongings and leave first! Who knows what kind of people those guys are? What if they still die after surrendering? They are a group of people who came from "Zuan"!
how to say?

There is actually nothing wrong with this idea. Although Rena Tagorask said that the group of people came out of nowhere, in the eyes of the heads of the business families in "Piltover", those people came from the lower city "Zaan".

A group of people from Zaun turned the tables and became the masters of Piltover. Even if one used their buttocks to think, they would have known that these business families would not have a good ending.

Don't they know how they usually treat the lower city "Zuan"? How is it possible?! They know it best!
Therefore, once the heads of the business families in Piltover thought of exchanging roles with the Zaun people, they left immediately. They would rather abandon everything in Piltover and flee with the belongings they could take away than stay here and be enslaved by the Zaun people!
Couldn't Camille, the "Gray Lady", have thought of these things? On the contrary, she could have thought of them. She could be said to be the person from Upper Piltover who knew Zaun best. She often wandered around Zaun and knew all the forces in Zaun like the back of her hand.

Therefore, she was able to confirm that this group of people were definitely not from "Zuan" and were definitely not a local force. Although she didn't know where they came from, they were definitely stronger than the locals of "Zuan".

"Those who are willing to believe me can stay. Those who don't want to believe me can do as they please." "Gray Lady" Camille didn't say any words of advice. She just said this and then stopped talking.

This made it even more difficult for those business family heads who were still hesitating. They did not want to give up everything in Piltover, nor did they want to escape from Piltover in disgrace, but they also did not want to become prisoners of the Zaun people.

As they struggled, time passed and their choices became clearer, because they had no choice left.

The "Piltover Alliance" had been completely defeated and they were all surrounded. With their surrender, the remaining troops also gave up resistance.

"Grey Lady" Camille looked at the "people" who were protecting them, and she also realized that these so-called "people" were not people at all. Although compared with those steel monsters, they looked more like humans, but they were just covered with human skin.

As for the "Grey Lady" Camille, she is indeed more human than these monsters, and she feels that her humanity is still well preserved.

"Madam Gray, are we safe now?"

Looking at the people who surrounded them, the head of the Gillaman family, Caitlin Gillaman's parents, asked the "Grey Lady" Camille nervously.

There was still a lot of worry in the couple's eyes. They were worried about their children and Caitlin Gillaman who was still at home.

"how could I know?"

"Grey Lady" Camille looked at the couple and said speechlessly that she was also betting that these people would not kill them all. At least from now on, the other party did not want to cause too many casualties, otherwise they would have killed them all.

Therefore, "Grey Lady" Camille is actually still somewhat confident. If these people want to govern "Piltover", they will definitely need some local people to help, and they may be a good choice.

Soon, amid the fear of these former "Rulers of Piltover", the riots in "Piltover" gradually subsided. This was actually easier than the process of unifying "Zaan" and encountered much less resistance.

The people of Zaun are more ruthless because their lives are less valuable, while the people of Piltover obviously value their lives more.

During the battle, the residents of "Piltover" were all very honest. Except for some people who wanted to escape with their belongings, the other residents stayed at home in fear.

And those business families who wanted to escape were not able to do so. The drones and hovercrafts that took advantage of the air captured them directly, and no one was allowed to escape. It was a real dragnet.

In the Piltover Parliament Hall, the "Parliament" was convened again, but this time the people sitting at the parliament table had changed. The parliamentarians who had sat at the table before have now become dishes on the table.

"Hello, let me introduce myself, Ke Ling, the new master of Piltover and Zaun."

Sitting at the conference table, looking at the business family heads and parliamentarians below, Ke Ling introduced himself with a smile.

Ke Ling behaved very kindly, and the halo around him was working, but it still couldn't dispel the haze surrounding the heads of business families and congressmen. There was no way, no one could laugh in front of such a person who controlled their life and death and might even execute them immediately.

"You should smile because you survived."

Ke Ling still spoke with a smile on his face. As soon as he said this, the people below immediately responded and sporadic laughter was heard.

Although the laughter sounded bitter and forced, it was obvious that they were trying very hard to survive and they were forcing themselves to laugh.

"That's right, people should live with a smile on their faces."

Ke Ling smiled even brighter, and as soon as he said this, the laughter below immediately became louder, and everyone started laughing. There was nothing they could do, after all, Ke Ling said that only by laughing can one survive, at least that was what he meant in their ears.

"Grey Lady" Camille also laughed. She really laughed because she felt that this was extremely absurd and yet extremely realistic.

These business family heads, who used to be serious with everyone and seemed to live far away, are now forcing themselves to smile just to stay alive. One can only say that this is probably the cruelty of fate. No one can predict what the next second of their life will be like.

Laughing along with these "Ladies of Piltover" were Hilco, Sevika, Red Rat and others beside Ke Ling, especially Hilco. The smile on his face was so sincere and full of enjoyment. The laughter of these "Ladies of Piltover" sounded like beautiful chants to him.

Van der Leyen and Benso were also invited. These two old fighters who had given up resistance had very complicated expressions at this time, especially after seeing Hilko and Sevika.

At this moment, both of them felt a little embarrassed and at a loss, because they didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. They didn't know how Ke Ling would arrange "Piltover" and "Zaan". With "Piltover", would he still care about "Zaan"?

"This is the famous Grey Lady Camille, right?"

After everyone laughed for a while, Ke Ling spoke again, and the laughter finally died down. Since Ke Ling had spoken, they certainly wouldn't continue laughing without paying attention. That was really funny.

"Yes, sir, it's me."

The "Gray Lady" Camille who was named stood up and politely saluted Ke Ling. This "Gray Lady" remained calm and at least her behavior was very decent.

For the "Grey Lady" Camille, surrendering to others was not a big deal. She was originally trained to be a chief spy and had worked in this position for many years. She had always been serving the family and her younger brother.

It wasn't until her brother betrayed her that she stepped forward to take control of the situation, but in reality she wasn't really in charge of things at other times.
