To be honest, the moment Gavin IV's shoulder was hit, Zantia's heart suddenly tightened.

He was really afraid that Gavin IV would admit defeat on the spot - if Gavin IV showed that his skills were inferior after being hit in the shoulder, then Zanthia would have been working in vain these days.

After returning to Demacia City, Zanthia spent a lot of effort to seize this opportunity to push Gavin IV in front of the people, and if he didn't take this opportunity to hit the prestige of the Light Shield family, wouldn't Zanthia be busy in vain?

Although Zanthia knew that the way it was struck was dirty - he was helpless.

In Zantia's view, the Bright Shield Family's brainless behavior of showing grace to the people is the biggest irresponsibility for Demacia, and it seems that the people have benefited, but in fact, Demacia has fallen behind others a lot in silence.

Noxus is in action, and almost all the ports east and south of White Cliffs have become military ports of Noxus, while the Demacian navy on the other side is still full of old warships.

Piltover is in action, the integration of the two cities has exploded into a remarkable vitality, the talent of Hextech is lit up one after another, and a predictable Hextech industrial revolution is poised to begin.

Even Freljord is on the move - according to feedback from the Illuminati North, Freljord seems to have a tendency to unify, and although this unification may be completed in the form of war, as long as Freljord is united, they will be a powerful force to be reckoned with in Valoran!

But what about Demacia?

Old-fashioned, stubborn, and clinging to agriculture......

In this era of change, Demacia does not gather forces to improve the national strength, but puts all the focus on improving the living standards of the people, how short-sighted?!

Yes, the current Demacians can indeed be said to live and work in peace, but if Demacia becomes a weak chicken among the great powers, how long can this peace and contentment last?

Zantia, who once worked with Gavin II, has a much higher vision than Gavin III now, and he knows better than anyone else about the advanced and backward judgments, for a big country, just maintaining internal stability and people's happiness is not all a king is all about!

"National prosperity" is the demand of the small people of Dousheng for the country, but in Zantiya's opinion, if the king sees it this way, then he is not competent at all!

If Rod had known what Zantia was thinking, he would definitely have praised the big guy - in Rod's opinion, Demacia's biggest problem was ...... A comfortable and stable life almost killed their thirst for progress, which was similar to the situation Ionia faced before it was invaded by Noxus, if not worse - after all, Ionia had a bunch of real bosses behind him, but Demacia's reliance was only on a few forbidden magic stones.

Some only see hungry stomachs, but others know that hunger is for mushroom eggs—and now Demacia needs mushroom eggs, but Gawain III focuses on keeping everyone from starving.

This king is not a faint king, but he is also far from being wise and martial.

Well, then again.

Although Gawain III's policies were short-sighted and foolish, it was undeniable that he was supported by the people, at least in a relatively prosperous era when Demacia was still in a time of relative prosperity, and the people were happy to see the people of the Shield family on the throne.

And in order to correct this short-sightedness and break the stupid expectations of the people, Zanthia had to use some dirtier means.

Like what...... Frame.

In the ring, Gavin IV did not know that the tip of his dragon spear had been smeared with poison, and he did not know that his squire had actually betrayed him.

Zanthia used a relatively shady method, though he was quite sure he was for Demacia.

Duels are rarely dead as long as they are not really vendetta (of course, there are always a few guys who like to kill in duels, such as Fiona), but injuries are always inevitable.

As soon as Gavin IV's spear touched Jax, all the Demacians would know that the prince they loved was actually a piece of trash that would poison their weapons!

That's right, in the eyes of the Demacians, everything that is quenched on the weapon is rubbish!

(What, you said Holy Silver Elixir?) Oh, that's anti-magical, anti-magic is better than anti-quenching...... ）

In Demacia, the use of poison is second only to the use of magic, and the Demacians despise the most about the use of poison and other off-the-clay tricks to achieve victory - after all, simply because they poisoned their opponent in a private duel of nobles, the Laurent family was ruined, and even had to fight a bloody duel to wash away the shame.

And if someone uses a poisoned weapon in a duel in broad daylight......

I'm afraid that the Light Shield family will be ousted from the throne directly!

As long as Gavin III is down, Zantia will unite the nobles to form a provisional government as soon as possible, although this will delegate some power to the nobles everywhere, and the living standards of the common people of Noxus will decline, but Zantia has made a plan in advance, and then Demacia's main focus will be on the research and development of weapons and equipment and the exchange of personnel.

Zanthia believed that before he died, he would definitely be able to bring Demacia back up to the footsteps of the other Valoran powers!

At that time, Zanthia will personally choose the next king.

True, Zanthia never wanted to be king himself—he always told himself that it was for Demacia.

However, alas, it seems that the situation soon exceeded Zanthia's expectations.

Zanthia had previously won over and had seen Jax's warriors swear that "the strength of Gavin IV and Master Yideng is between the best", and Zantia decided on a plan and spent a lot of money to buy his attendants to poison Gavin IV's weapons.

Who would have thought that the two of them on the scene had fought almost a hundred moves, and the armor of Jiawen IV was about to be knocked to pieces, but he didn't even touch the corners of Jax's clothes!

Although Zanthia hasn't used martial arts for a long time, he can't judge the situation on the field without being senile!

What is evenly matched?

This Nima is clearly a master instructing a naughty boy!

You look at the master of a lamp, his gestures are not chic, and his moves and styles look extremely mysterious; And Jiawen IV is tricks are controlled by others, and the reluctant rush attack can't take effect at all - let alone a hundred moves, Zanthia dares to say that even if two people fight for a day or ten days, the poison on Jiawen IV's dragon spear expires and deteriorates, he can't hurt a lamp master!

In the end, when he saw that Govin IV had confessed his defeat and performed the discipleship ceremony, Zantia almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood.

"What about the five-five opening? This duel was completely blown up by a lamp master! ”
