Chapter 841, High Elf War Council
The hometown of the high elves, Ulthuan, the Kingdom of Itain, and the capital of the high elves, Lothern.
After many years, another war conference was launched in the Phoenix Royal Court.
The most important high elf lords in attendance were:
Tyrion, the Lord of War of the High Elf War Council and the chosen champion of the Eternal Queen.
High Magister Teclis of the Magister Council of the White Tower of Hoeth.
The second archmage Belannar of the Council of Magisters in the White Tower of Hoeth - the wise one.
Imrik, Prince of the High Elf Caledor.
Eltharion, Prince of the High Elf Yress - The Grim One.
The Phoenix King is close to the Captain of the White Lion Guard, Kosir.
High Elf Sea Lord (Navy Commander) Aislin.
First Handmaiden of the Sisterhood of Avalon, Istrona.
It is interesting to say that, among the key figures of the high elves present at the meeting, Kosir, who is the weakest, has the strength of the mid-level Sanctuary.
Contrary to imagination, Finnubar, the Phoenix King, did not attend this meeting. The Phoenix King gave full power to the war to Tyrion, the war lord he appointed.
There is nothing surprising about this, for high-precision history, Finnubar is a "heterogeneous".
This King of One Piece is very rare among the high spirits. He is neither good at military nor magic, and his personal bravery is not outstanding. Only the Phoenix King who has made achievements in internal affairs and diplomacy, Finnuba's talent and personal ability He is very unremarkable among the high-level lords, so Finubar always only makes decisions that are "in line with common sense" and "very necessary". Do it for me, but there is no doubt about Finnubar's personal charm. Tyrion and Eltharion are also Finnubar's childhood friends. Even the dwarf High King Thorgreen thinks that compared to other sharp ears Said that Finnubar is a guy who can speak human language and understand communication.
"Where's Kajoyne?" Tyrion looked around, but he didn't see Kajoyne, the captain of the Phoenix Guard, the Anointed One.
"When the undead pirates attacked, the phoenix guards of the Asuryan Lieyang Temple on Fire Island attacked, as before." Teclis still had the dead fish eyes and the voice without any emotion, and the Supreme Magus continued as always. Calm: "Strike is the best answer, Kazhuo Yin will not come."
"Well, that's good. I don't want to see his dull expression and that stinky face, as well as decipher what he wants to express from his sign language." Prince Caledor Imrik raised his chin , Bored and said: "So, can we start? Are we wasting time here?"
Tyrion glanced at Imrik. The aloofness and talent of the Prince of Caledor is well-known throughout Ulthuan. As the last descendant of the third-generation Phoenix King Caledon, Imrik Since succeeding to the throne, he has tried his best to revive the greatest caledor kingdom in the past. He summoned all the caledor dragon princes, awakened the ancient dragon, and ordered the high-precision blacksmiths to rekindle the flames of the Vaal anvil. Flame began to forge weapons and reorganized the Caledor army. The Caledon Kingdom reorganized fifty legions with an army of about 50,000 people, although this was less than one-third of the army at the peak of the Caledon Kingdom. But it is already the largest army in the entire Ulthuan Ten Kingdoms.
Obviously, Imrik is committed to bringing the glory of his ancestors back to the Kingdom of Caledor, and he is willing to pay any price for it. It is said that Imrik is currently planning to find a lost artifact of Caledon—Iser Rama Silver Dragon Horn, that thing is said to have wandered in the Eight Peaks Mountain of the dwarves, and with the news of the victory of the Eight Peaks Mountain Expedition, Imrik has wanted to go to the old world to find the Dragon Horn more than once. If necessary, at any cost, if necessary,
Destroy all rebels.
At the same time, Imrik is one of the very few people in the War Council who does not have Tyrion's authority at all.
"Let me explain the situation." White Lion Captain Kosier first came up to explain the situation. As the Phoenix King's close friend and personal guard captain, he is a very strong man with a unique sense of vigilance and delicateness: "About A few days ago, the undead pirates attacked the ports of Terrenlock and Itain. We don't know how the other party crossed the magic barrier and countless hidden reefs we set up, but these undead pirates did successfully attack the two small ports. Ah The Suls evacuated quickly, but the two small ports were looted and burned to ashes, and the undead pirates even tried to attack the main city of Tyranok."
"Princess Altila's Tyranok army and Kadroin's Flame Guard attacked and repelled the invading undead."
"But the intelligence shows that more undead pirate fleets are gathering, and the undead pirates have begun to loot a large number of merchant ships that trade with us in the old world. They attacked our commercial routes along the way, and three merchant ships were destroyed. If we don't do something What, there will be more similar things in the future." Sea Lord Aislin said, as the commander-in-chief of the high-precision navy, he always has the right to speak: "Maritime commercial routes cannot be cut off."
"I'm surprised that Terrenlock and Lothern Seaguards didn't kill all the enemies?" Imrik continued: "This is not like Azul, or is it that Azul in these two kingdoms is already useless? Need to place yourself under the protection of Caledor?"
"The undead pirates have come prepared. According to the news from the local militia, the undead pirates' flagship is three kilometers long, loaded with dozens of undead legions, carrying a large number of artillery and many giant undead creatures." Ignoring Imrik's words, he emphasized: "Resisting and attacking rashly will only make unnecessary sacrifices due to failure of judgment. Asur has never been afraid of war, but he will not take his people to death."
"Three kilometers long? A lot of artillery?" Tyrion frowned, and the war lord turned his attention to the sea lord Aislin. The largest dragon boat of this high-precision navy commander was only more than two hundred meters long: "Very good, Aislin, send a fleet and send me and our army to the lair of this group of undead. I want to kill this group of undead with my own hands."
"Sorry, Lord Tyrion, I don't think I can do it." Aislin said simply.
"Can't do it?" Tyrion raised his head, displeasure soon appeared on the face of the war lord, he just tried to keep his expression from being less angry: "Aislin, tell me the reason, or I will find you Someone who can do it."
"The black arks of the dark elves and the dragon ships of the northern barbarians constantly harassed our north, and we had to send our main fleet to defend the north coast of Ulthuan, especially Nagareth and the barren islands." Sea Lord Aislin pointed his finger Click on the northern part of the three-dimensional magic image of Ulthuan: "The main fleet must not move, and I don't think Your Excellency the Lord of War will allow the dark elves or northern barbarians to approach the Kane Sword Altar."
"That's right, but that's why we have to deal with undead pirates." Tyrion emphasized: "We don't need to mobilize our huge fleet, we only need a few fast ships, my silver helmet knights and a few soldiers , Just follow me, let me lead people to board the undead flagship, we all know the virtues of Nagash and his undead, just need to get rid of the leader of the other party, and leave it to me."
"Your Excellency Tyrion, this may not be the optimal solution." Belannar, the wise man, the second archmage of the Magister Council of the White Tower of Hoeth, said: "Before thinking about the solution, we must first estimate the cost and possible changes. .”
"Change?" Tyrion was a little annoyed, but miraculously he didn't lose his temper. Belannar, the wise one, is both Teclis' mentor and his best friend. This second archmage is a true wise man. He would not speak without reason: "Hold a weapon, follow the drums and singing, there is no enemy that I can't deal with."
"Prince Yelian thought like you back then. He wanted to break into the lair of the undead pirates and solve everything once and for all." Belanar's words were full of wisdom: "That is another maelstrom, which was destroyed by the wind of magic. filled place, Lord Warlord."
Tyrion immediately realized something: "The Ship Burial Ground?"
"That's right, if we can't assemble a large enough fleet, we won't even be able to get close to that cursed sea area, that's what Marselan told me." The sea lord Aislin explained a fact: "But at present our navy Prioritize the threat to the North."
Tyrion reluctantly listened to Aislin's advice. The high-elf fleet is still the most powerful fleet in the world, but now the high-elf fleet is no longer able to rule the entire ocean as it was in the heyday of the elf empire. Any enemy attempting to attack Ulthuan would not be able to fight on two battlefields at the same time.
The war lord was a little impatient, and he immediately said: "Very well, then here comes the problem, Tyrenlock and Itain can't save themselves, the entire coast of Ulthuan may become a battlefield between us and the undead, our lifeline will be cut off, and we're sitting on the world's most powerful navy and there's nothing we can do about it?"
"Lifeline? Don't think I don't know what you're talking about, our war lord, I think you're talking about trade routes, don't think we don't know, your Thai brother trading company is very good at doing business." Im Rick sarcastically said, "The Caledon never does."
"Is Caledor not part of Ulthuan? Or do you think this trade route that allows Ulthuan and the Phoenix Court to remain financially healthy, profitable, and obtain goods and raw materials from all over the world is not for Azul? Meaningful?" Tyrion immediately retorted.
"Perhaps the income is really good, but now do we have any other way?" Imrik retorted: "Does the war lord go to the burial ship cemetery himself? What an art, maybe your deeds can be engraved on the Griffin Gate above."
"Can't you separate out a fleet, Lord Aislin?" Eltharion-The Grim One said coldly, he had no intention of joining Tyrion and Imrik's verbal battle at all.
"No." Aislin said directly: "It has been proved by Prince Yelian that it is an extremely dangerous place. The small fleet can only add fertilizer to the undead."
"Very well, what about mercenaries?" Eltharion continued, "Hire an army with money?"
"Who to hire? The Norsca dragon ship in the north? The black ark of the cousins? Or hire a Slanan magic toad and let them perform a sea-dividing performance?" Imrik continued: "Don't doubt my love for Asur position, Prince Iris!"
The Council of War is caught in squabbles, and intrigues, factions, and political struggles are never absent from the high-spirited court.
The supreme mage Teclis has long been used to it, and he simply closed his dead fish eyes, closing his eyes and resting his mind.
Before closing his eyes, Teclis noticed that the Eternal Queen's chief handmaiden, Istrona, also closed her eyes and stood behind Tyrion to express her unconditional support.
Teclis suddenly felt that Tyrion and Lion were quite similar.
Both of them have noble blood, there is no doubt that Ryan is a descendant of the true god, and most likely the first generation descendant, and Tyrion is also a descendant of the noble blood of the defender Alario.
Neither of them was originally the orthodox heir of their respective kingdoms, but they both actually controlled the highest power by going around in circles. Alario was the defender of Ulthuan, and Ryan obtained the right to inherit the throne through marriage, and then regained Mousilon completes control of the Knight Kingdom.
Whether it is Ursuan or Britannia, it is actually a dual political structure. The actual controller of Ursuan is Alarielle, the eternal queen, and Alariel and Tyrion are lovers. Brittany The actual controller of Nia is the goddess Lilith, and Lilith and Ryan are also lovers.
Alarielle's spokesperson is the chief maid, Istrona, and she has a close lover relationship with Tyrion. Lilith's spokesperson is the lake goddess Morgiana, and she is also a close lover relationship with Ryan.
Tyrion's method of getting Alarielle to agree with him was pajamas, and Ryan's method of getting Lilith to agree with him was almost the same.
Tyrion likes melee combat best, and Lion likes melee combat the most.
Teclis nodded with satisfaction.
Tyrion Lane says Established! Q.E.D!
After everyone had almost quarreled, Teclis said slowly: "There is also a navy, the navy of our allies."
"Monkey?" Imrik was the quickest to respond.
"yes."
"Monkey? A sampan? A pinball game?" Prince Caledon laughed dumbfounded. "We all remember the incident of the Red Pirates? The monkeys' fishing boats are really vulnerable."
(Note: The Red Pirate incident was when the notorious Red Pirates of Marienburg were plundering at sea. Miraculously, they passed through the magical fog of Ulthuan with good luck and plundered a small town along the coast of Ulthuan. The port town, and then returned to Marienburg full of spoils. The sea lord Aislin decided to teach mankind a lesson that will never be forgotten, so he chose to let the red pirates escape but followed him all the way to Marienburg. After burning half of Marienburg and Leave after retrieving all loot.)
"I'm not talking about the imperial fleet." Teclis said calmly: "Brittania, the kingdom of knights."
"Stupid thing, he and the Golden Cup Knight are decent things." Imrik suddenly remembered what happened several decades ago. He and the newly enthroned Knight King Richard teamed up to snipe the Beastmen on the outskirts of Korona. Frenzy: "It's just stupid stuff."
At that time, Richard's bravery and the performance of the Holy Grail Knights left a deep impression on Imrik, especially Richard kept robbing him of the monster kill, which directly caused Imrik to remember the King of Knights and gave him the stupid evaluation of.
"They have a fleet of Poseidon, and they are equipped with ironclad ships, dwarves', ironclad ships." Teclis continued.
"..." The high-elite war lords temporarily stopped their discussions.
Although they are unwilling to admit it in every possible way, the high-elf lords know how powerful the iron-clad warships of the Haimenguan dwarves are. The two sides have reached a short-term alliance (for a few weeks) to deal with a green-skinned big waaagh together in the badlands! .
"Ironclad ships? Human monkeys? Why do you care so much about the outside world? Brother!" Tyrion said to Teclis displeasedly, "Is there anything that makes you miss it so much?"
"Then why don't you care? Brother!" Teclis asked in turn. As a twin brother, he already understood what Tyrion meant, so he went on to say: "Brother, you come to protect Ulthuan , and I, to help Ulthuan seek help and more power."
"Very good, when you seek allies for Ulthuan, I will guarantee you a home!" Tyrion agreed, and the twin brothers reached a consensus in an instant, and everyone didn't even react. The tone of the matter has already been set.
Teclis walked out of the Phoenix Court slowly.
Lilith, your first step of the plan has been completed.
The next step is to invite Ryan to visit Ulthuan.
