"This was witnessed by the dragon bird scouts of the Guardian Wall, who reported it to father in letters," Jarvan IV added.
"So... between the Fearless Vanguard and your mechanical troops, who do you think has a better chance of winning?" Garen hesitated. "I don't mean anything else. I just want to compare them horizontally and roughly estimate the combat effectiveness of each side."
"Your question is quite obvious." Before Li Lin could answer, Jarvan IV spoke first.
"I've seen the power of those robots. A single random energy laser shot can pierce through a Noxian soldier wearing plate armor. This is probably not their greatest power."
Garen looked shocked, "...this?"
"Besides, what else can Li Lin's troops do...luminous combat suits?"
"It's optical camouflage, Your Highness."
Jarvan IV suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, it's called optical camouflage! They can also use this method to blend into the environment, become invisible, and even fly.
"Plus, mechanical troops don't need to rest, but human flesh and blood can't withstand prolonged combat... What do you think?"
"Is this... magic?"
At this moment, Garen's expression was dull. He couldn't imagine what the scene would be like if the Fearless Vanguard met Li Lin's mechanical troops on the battlefield.
"I heard that Piltover has further mastered the means of controlling magic with technology. Is that true?"
As he spoke, Garen inadvertently glanced at Zuo Yin, a petite girl who was standing quietly beside Li Lin, her eyes fixed on the king.
After Jarvan IV's solemn reminder, he learned that this little girl who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, about the same age as his sister Lux, or even younger, was actually an "old monster" who had lived for thousands of years.
Or is he a Protoss host who inherited the power of the Star of Disaster - Twilight Protoss!
While his mind was wandering, Garen glanced into the distance and saw Morgana, who was tasting wine alone in the corner, as if she didn't care about anything.
And there's someone over there whose identity has been confirmed: the younger sister of the legendary Demacia Winged Protector Sisters...
I heard that she was persuaded by Li Lin to return to Demacia.
Garen no longer knew how to describe his feelings.
"Well... to be precise, my mechanical troops used to have some connection with magic, but now they are pure products of technology and have nothing to do with magic." Li Lin explained to him.
Since the development of nuclear fusion technology, coupled with the emergence of cheap and strong synthetic materials that can withstand the high pressure of fusion reactions, and zero-element synthetic materials, current mechanical troops no longer need to use Hextech energy crystals.
Extracting elements from the ocean and synthesizing new materials with various metals not only greatly reduces costs but also provides almost unlimited energy.
If Li Lin can develop a more convenient cold fusion technology in the future, he can further reduce the size of the nuclear fusion reactor and equip smaller mechanical engineers with power cores that can provide almost unlimited energy.
Valoran actually has troops even more elite than Demacia's Dauntless Vanguard, and they don't even use magic...
Galen found it hard to believe and accept.
At this moment, Jarvan IV finished talking to the head of the Crownguard family, Galen's father Pete, and Tiana, and approached Li Lin.
"Are you discussing the mechanical army?" Jarvan III asked with a smile. "I've heard from my son that Li Lin's mechanical army is the best in the world!"
"You are truly a young and promising person. It is a blessing for this 'City of Progress' that Piltover has a young talent like you!" Pete applauded sincerely.
"You are truly too kind, Your Majesty, Patriarch Mianwei." Li Lin shook his head modestly. "In fact, compared to the revived Shurima Empire and its divine warriors, my mechanical troops are still far behind."
"Alas, the god-warriors vanished long ago during the Darkin Wars. The only gods left now are the returned Azir and Grand Maester Nasus, whom you and my son mentioned?"
Jarvan III waved his hand indifferently, not knowing much about this.
"Besides, let's just talk about the Valoran continent...your mechanical army can still reach the top of this world."
The other nobles around him all looked at Li Lin with surprise and astonishment, then began to whisper to each other and point fingers at him.
Some people felt fear and anxiety, but most people thought this was an opportunity, after all, their prince had a good relationship with him.
They were thinking about how to win over this young man who could compete with an entire country on his own.
Led by Jarvan III, they talked about a variety of other things.
For example, when did Pete's wife Ogasha and youngest daughter Laxana move to Xiongdu from their ancestral home in Miyin City, and they discussed the recent national issues.
It was not until the eve of Prince Jarvan IV's celebration dinner that Jarvan III stood on the podium facing the door of the Hall of Brilliance, and all the nobles gathered around.
After a brief yet passionate speech, he straightened his face and got down to business: "Before the celebration banquet for my son Jarvan IV begins, I have a few important announcements!"
