Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 361 The King's Rewards and Appointments
"First of all, it is another hero who contributed as much to our Demacian 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 dangerously on the frontier, eventually defeating the Noxian warband and capturing its general and hundreds of surrendered soldiers.

Except for General Prescott of the Noxus 37th Battalion who invaded the border and was escorted back to Xiongdu for interrogation, the rest of the prisoners were all held in Tobysia, under the charge of the sword captain Paldek of the Fearless Vanguard. Take a guard.

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

But they don't know the specifics of what happened.

It's just that the elemental dragon is a hot knowledge of magic, and almost no one knows it, and people with the blood of the elemental dragon must also control magic.

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

In the audience, Li Lin, who was standing with Jarvan IV and Galen, also had a look of astonishment on his face. He didn't expect Jarvan III to blow up his record now.

The king roughly informed the audience of Li Lin's identity, but deliberately ignored the matter of his mechanical army, and only said that he repelled a powerful blood race with the mechanical armor he invented.

"So, I decided to appoint Li Lin as the honorary lord of Sassanli Town. He does not need to be responsible for the management and enjoys all the power of the local nobles."

Canonizing a foreigner as the leader of the Demacia territory is an extremely rare example in the history of the past few hundred years, and it is very rare.

However, none of the nobles present dared to raise objections at this juncture, which satisfied Jiawen III.

"Besides Li Lin, my son was able to triumph because of the assistance of a brave warrior. She is Shivana who inherited the blood of the dragon of the fire element!"

Jarvan III's voice was passionate, and before many nobles raised objections, he continued: "She fought bravely and helped my son break through the Noxus line, and she is the second most important hero in this battle!

"Therefore, I decided to assign her to the town of Edessa to lead the local guards, and bestowed first-class military exploits on her, granting her the title of Knight of Demacia, titled Dragon Blood Warrior."

Because Shyvana's appearance is too special, one can see magic surging in her body at a glance, and the nobles present basically know who she is.

As the first town fortress in the northwest of Xiongdu, Edessa Town is responsible for guarding the rear and serving as the last line of defense for the northern barbarians to invade.

Handing over the town to a "heretic" who controls magic is undoubtedly putting Xiongdu in great danger.

Most of the nobles actually opposed this decision, even members of the Council of the Shield, especially Tiana.

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

However, no matter when, there is no shortage of impatient people.

"His Majesty!"

A middle-aged man with a big belly, a big bald head, and oily face stood up.

Jarvan IV recognized him at a glance as the lord of Edessa Town - Viscount Mukenn, and introduced him to Li Lin and Shivana in a low voice.

Because he was guarding the important rear area, Viscount Mukanen was pocketed, self-stealing, and extremely corrupt.

Not only did passing private caravans need to pay him a lot of taxes, but he would even detain supplies from the treasury to support the front line for a day or two for various reasons. Of course, there was no need to say anything about what he did during this period.

Jarvan III had long been displeased with this viscount who had been sheltered by his ancestors, but because of his ancestors' outstanding achievements, he didn't really want to get rid of his title of nobility.

Sending Shivana to the town of Edessa this time to take back the military power of the Mukanen family is partly a warning.

But what Jiawen III didn't expect was that Mu Keen, who was recently invited to Xiongdu to welcome His Highness the prince's triumphant return and to attend the celebration banquet, would dare to object?

He couldn't help frowning, and there was a hint of impatience in his voice: "What's the matter with you?"

"I don't think it's appropriate to hand over the leadership of the fortress guards to a foreigner who knows magic...?"

The nobles around cast him pitying and gloating eyes.

Even if they really feel that the king's decree is inappropriate, they will not question the king on this occasion, which is tantamount to slapping the face of the royal family.

Unexpectedly, there are really fools who are not afraid of losing their titles?
Sure enough, Jiawen III immediately lowered his face when he said this, "Are you questioning my decision?"

Viscount Mukanen swallowed, and quickly knelt down, "I dare not... I just think that our Forbidden Magic Code should not be a display."

The matter of the Magic Code has always been Jarvan III's heartache, and Mu Keen even dared to use this as an issue...

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

Jiawen III's face was already gloomy, and his tone became even more serious: "Hmph! I didn't expect, Viscount Mukanen, I didn't want to take you into action, but you took the initiative to challenge my authority as a king."

Upon hearing this, Dou Da's sweat rolled down Muken's cheeks.

He raised his head in shock, and glanced at his left hand in a little bewilderment.

That was exactly where the members of the Council of the Aegis stood.

At this time, Eldred, with a serious expression on his face, suddenly stood up and snapped, "Even though the magic tome is important, no one can challenge the king's authority!"

"Viscount Mukanen, you not only corrupted the law and filled your pockets in Edessa Town, but now you dare to question our great King Jarvan III, who gave you the courage?!"

"You... how did you..."

Muken's eyes were wide open, and he stared at Eldred who stood up to accuse him with an unbelievable look, shocked and speechless.

"Come on, man! Arrest this brave traitor who bullies you, and put him in the prison!"

"No, wait..."

Before he could finish speaking, several heavily armed guards poured in from outside the Hall of Resplendents and rushed forward, and Mukenn, who was struggling with a knife in his hand, knocked unconscious and dragged him out.

Jarvan III glanced at Eldred meaningfully, and praised almost without any emotion: "Good job."

A fake smile appeared on the corner of Eldred's mouth again, and he bowed with his hands folded on his chest, "It's my honor, everything is for Demacia."

"Okay, I'm announcing the removal of the title of Viscount Mukanen. As for the vacant management position, I'll consider who is suitable for the post of mayor of Edessa Town."

After saying that, Jarvan III took a deep breath and calmed down a little.

Then, he announced the last and most important decree that shocked almost all the nobles:
"Morgana, one of our legendary winged protector sisters from Demacia, has returned today!
"A week later, I will announce the return of the Flying Wing Protector to the people of Xiongdu, and even the citizens of Demacia!"
