Chapter 160 Negotiations in the Council Chamber

Jarven stared at the door slowly opening, and could even feel a heavy pressure on his shoulders.

He didn't know how many unknown bigwigs were waiting for him inside, nor did he know if he could walk out of here alive today.

But since he was here, he had to experience the strength of Noxus.

"Follow the will of Trifaree and the Empire, and sacrifice the blood of the enemy to Noxus!"

Just as the door was opened, Jarven heard a bone-chilling female voice coming from the council hall.

Then, a red-haired woman with two daggers on her back passed by him.

He just glanced at the cold eyes, and he felt cold all over, and the bone-chilling cold penetrated into his body from his skin.

At that moment, he felt a fatal sense of crisis wrapped around his whole body. He had no doubt that the other party wanted to kill him in an instant.

"Who is she? Is she also Senator Trifaree?"

With such doubts, Jarven walked into the council hall step by step.

The first thing that caught his eye was a throne with flags planted all around it. The steps raised it up, making the throne the most conspicuous position in the entire hall.

But he could see that no one had sat there for a long time.

Perhaps, there would be no one there in the future.

He recognized most of the flags planted nearby. Thanks to the generations of confrontation between Demacia and Noxus, Jarvan had learned the heroic deeds of his ancestors since he was a child.

And those heroic deeds were inseparable from the figures of the Noxian emperors.

Those fluttering flags were the imperial flags of the emperors of Noxus.

"Demacia envoy?"

Hearing the steady male voice, Jarvan retracted his gaze and looked at the center of the council hall.

Three majestic stone thrones symbolizing the highest stood in the center. The person who just spoke was Swain sitting on the side.

Except for Swain, the other two seats were empty.

"Prince of Demacia, Jarvan Lightshield!"

Jarvan looked solemn and stood straight.

Here, he represented Demacia and dared not slack off.

"Jericho Swain, Vice President of the Trifarion of Noxus." Swain responded in a deep voice.

He had seen the performance of Demacia all along. The strength of the Light Shield Barrier and its leader Jarvan was enough to win the respect of the empire.

After Swain finished speaking, several eyes from the seats behind the three supreme positions also looked over here.

A rough man, a beautiful and charming woman, a lady with pure mechanical legs and magical blue eyes.

Jarvan secretly looked at those people, and his heart tightened slightly.

Even if these people were just sitting there, he could clearly feel that he was not sure to win any of them.

Only the bored man could have a slight chance of winning in a fight.

According to his estimation, Garen might not get any good results.

Swain sat in the seat of the vice-chairman, not paying attention to Jarvan's little movements, but took the lead to speak calmly:

"I thought your arrival would bring good news to the empire, but judging from your expression, Demacia doesn't seem to want to surrender."

Jarvan came back to his senses, his resolute face was full of determination:

"We lost! But we were not completely wiped out!"

He could hear the arrogance in the other party's tone, but he could only suppress the anger in his heart.

He wanted to avenge the souls of the dead in Demacia right now, and he wanted to lead the army to attack the city under his feet right now, and even thought about fighting to the death with Noxus.

But in the end, he still suppressed all his emotions.

"It's just a remnant of a defeated army. After losing two Protoss, what does Demacia have left? Magic?" Swain smiled.

Jarvan didn't know why the other party suddenly mentioned magic, but he still kept it in mind and retorted:

"We still have elite troops, people willing to fight to the death, and we have the protection of the Forbidden Magic Forest. You can't defeat us."

"You would rather die than surrender, right?" Swain asked indifferently.

He knew that the boy in front of him did not show firmness in his heart, but he still couldn't help but have a few glimmers of appreciation in his eyes.

In the whole Demacia, there are not many people who can be so neither humble nor arrogant.

"Even if the Kingdom of Demacia is exterminated!"

Jiawen hesitated for less than a second, but still solemnly and firmly gave his oath:

"Even if Noxus defeats us, Demacia will not leave you anything. You will get nothing but a scorched earth."

Hearing the hypocrisy in his words, Swain's mouth curled up slightly:

"Then what is your purpose today? In hundreds of years, you are the first member of the Demacia royal family to enter this hall. We are willing to listen to your ideas."

"I come with the intention of peace. Our two countries have experienced too long of war." Jiawen's face was full of seriousness.

"Peace treaty?" Swain's tone was neither hurried nor slow.

He did not show sarcasm because of the other party's whims. Jiawen came to seek peace at the risk of his death under the unequal situation between the two countries.

No mistake, one song, one post, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Such courage and belief deserve their high regard.

"We want to sign a peace treaty between the two countries with Noxus!"

Jia Wen stared at the man in front of him. As soon as he entered the hall, he could feel the pressure from the other party.

It was a sense of majesty that was completely superior to his father. It was no exaggeration to say that the other party's every move could provoke his fragile nerves.

He took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"In order to show Demacia's sincerity, we are willing to export forbidden magic stones to Noxus, completely open trade with Noxus, and allow Noxus's trade fleet to reach the port of Xiongdu through inland rivers."

"Add one more thing."

Swain said lightly:

"For all those in Demacia who are not recognized by their own country and people, Noxus is willing to provide political asylum."

"That's impossible. We have imprisoned countless prisoners for hundreds of years." Jarvan refuted without hesitation.

Countless talented mages were imprisoned by them. If they agreed to this extradition bill of Noxus, they would be overwhelmed by these people in the future.

"We didn't care about the past. This clause will take effect from the moment the treaty is signed. We have the right to provide compulsory asylum."

Swain looked at Jarvan, who was still somewhat reluctant, and his face slightly condensed. He said coldly:

"Don't challenge the patience of the empire. Jarvan Lightshield!"

Jarvan was almost bent by Swain's powerful aura, and his face was slightly terrified at that moment.

At that moment, he recalled the strength of Noxus on the battlefield, the power to destroy the world

In order to protect Demacia and buy more time, he gritted his teeth and nodded with difficulty:

"Okay! But we can't judge everyone and wait for you to give an answer."

After getting what he wanted, Swain withdrew his own pressure from the devil and said without comment:

"No need to do this. When those people are oppressed or arrested, our documents can be sent to the Demacia Parliament Hall. Besides, maybe the Lightshield family will be the first to accept our asylum."

"Absolutely impossible! Lightshield will never abandon Demacia."

Jarvan's face was slightly ugly when he heard this.

It was hard for him to understand the hidden meaning.

Swain was telling them that everything that happened in Demacia could not be hidden from Noxus.

In fact, Noxus was already all-powerful in Demacia, and it was not difficult to make the Lightshield family abandoned by the people.

In Demacia, only the Crownguard family and the other nobles could have a chance to do this.

Thinking of Garen, Jarvan felt relieved and soon suppressed his anxiety.

This may be the only update today, but it will be updated normally on New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year tomorrow!
