"First, there's another great hero in this battle of Tranquil Lake Plains, whose contributions are no less than those of our Demacia role model—Prince Jarvan Lightshield IV!"

As soon as these words were spoken, most of the nobles present were in an uproar, not knowing what His Majesty the King meant.

From their sources, they knew only that Prince Jarvan IV had fought a dangerous battle on the border, ultimately defeating the Noxian warband and capturing the enemy general and hundreds of surrendering soldiers.

Except for General Prescott of the 37th Noxian Regiment who invaded the border and was escorted back to the capital for interrogation, the rest of the prisoners were all detained in Tobysia and guarded by the Sword Captain Pardek of the Fearless Vanguard.

In addition, according to their gossip, there seemed to be a woman with the blood of an elemental dragon who assisted Prince Light Shield in the battle.

But they still don't know the specific details of what happened.

It’s just that elemental dragons are hot knowledge that can perform magic, and almost everyone knows it, and anyone with elemental dragon bloodline must also be able to control magic.

Therefore, most nobles still treated this woman with suspicion, fear and disdain.

Below the stage, Li Lin, who was standing with Jarvan IV and Garen, also had a look of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that Jarvan III would reveal his battle record now.

The king roughly informed everyone in the audience of Li Lin's identity, but deliberately ignored the fact that he had a mechanical army. He only said that he relied on the mechanical armor he invented to repel a powerful vampire.

"Therefore, I have decided to appoint Li Lin as the honorary lord of Sassanli Town. He will not be responsible for management and will enjoy all the local noble powers."

The appointment of a foreigner as the leader of the Demacia territory is an extremely rare example in the past few hundred years of history.

However, none of the nobles present dared to raise any objections at this critical juncture, which made Jarvan III quite satisfied.

"In addition to Li Lin, my son's triumphant return was also assisted by a brave warrior: Shyvana, who inherited the bloodline of the fire elemental dragon!"

Jarvan III spoke passionately, and before many nobles could raise any objections, he continued, "She fought bravely and helped my son break through the Noxian lines. She is the second most meritorious person in this battle!

"Therefore, I have decided to send her to Edessa to lead the local guards. I have also granted her first-class military merit, the title of Demacia Knight, and the name Dragon Blood Warrior."

Because Shyvana's appearance was so unique, anyone with a clear eye could see the magic flowing through her body, and most of the nobles present knew who she was.

As the first town-fortress northwest of Xiongdu, the town of Edessa serves as the last line of defense against the invasion of northern barbarians and guards the rear.

Handing over this town to a "heretic" who controls magic will undoubtedly put Xiongdu in great danger.

In fact, most of the nobles opposed this decision, even the members of the Shield Council, especially Tiana.

Even though they objected in their hearts, they still looked at each other openly, looking at each other. No one wanted to offend the king at this time.

However, no matter what time, there is always a shortage of people who lose their patience.

"His Majesty!"

A middle-aged man with a big belly, a large bald spot on his head and a greasy face stood up.

Jarvan IV recognized him at a glance as the lord of Edessa, Viscount Mukenen, and whispered a brief introduction of him to Li Lin and Shyvana.

As he was in charge of the important rear area, Viscount Mukenen was extremely corrupt, embezzling money and stealing from his employer.

Not only did passing private caravans have to pay him hefty taxes, but he would also withhold the supplies withdrawn from the national treasury to support the front lines for one or two days under various pretexts. Needless to say, he did what he did during this period.

King Jarvan III had long disliked this viscount who had enjoyed the protection of his ancestors, but because of his ancestors' outstanding achievements, he was reluctant to strip him of his noble title.

Sending Shivana to Edessa to take back the military power of the Muken family was partly a warning.

But what Jarvan III did not expect was that Muken, who had been invited to Xiongdu in recent days to welcome the prince's triumphant return and attend the celebration banquet, actually dared to raise any objections?

He couldn't help but frown, with a hint of impatience in his voice: "What do you want?"

"I think it's inappropriate to hand over the leadership of the fortress's guard to a foreigner who can do magic."

The nobles around him cast looks of pity and gloating at him.

Even if they really felt that the king's decree was inappropriate, they would not question the king on such an occasion, as this would be tantamount to slapping the face of the Guangdun royal family.

I didn’t expect that there are really idiots who are not afraid of losing their titles?

As expected, Jarvan III's face immediately fell when he heard what he said. "Are you questioning my decision?"

Viscount Mukenen swallowed his saliva and quickly knelt down. "I dare not... I just think that our Forbidden Magic Codex should not be just for show."

The matter of the magic codex has always been a thorn in Jarvan III's side, and Mukenn actually dared to bring it up...

The nobles around him could not help but stay away from this stupid guy, for fear of being implicated by him.

Jarvan III's face was as dark as ink, and his tone was even more sinister: "Humph! I didn't expect that, Viscount Mukenen. I didn't want to use you as a scapegoat, but you took the initiative to challenge my authority as king."

Upon hearing this, beads of sweat slid down Mukenen's cheeks.

He looked up in horror and glanced to his left in some confusion.
