Chapter 688, The Emperor and the Grand Plan
Inside the big tent, the confrontation between the two sides is still going on. Fulgen is sitting on the Mazza, enjoying breakfast. Today's breakfast is toast, sausage, a few small tomatoes, peanut butter, half a fried egg and a cup of steaming coffee .
The hungry wood elf Karona was bound in front of Fulgan by many ropes. She smelled the smell of food and cursed the humans in front of her. After saying her name, she never said anything again. , without saying a word, just staring viciously at Fulgrim who was having breakfast with his emerald green eyes.
While eating breakfast, Fulgan looked at Karona in front of him with eyes like a work of art. He used the silver knife and fork lightly and skillfully to eat, and every movement was like a real art. Karona At the beginning, she was very angry, but seeing how Fulgan ate, she had to admit that even Azul's close relatives of Eslai could hardly be as elegant as the human being in front of her when eating .
"Alaros, Alaros - the hero is your father?" Fulgrim fiddled with a knife and fork, and asked casually. people cooking.
"..." Karona didn't answer, she was still glaring at the shameless humans.
"I know Alaros, the hero of the Wood Elves, who defeated Morgul at the Battle of the Wood of Arden, and at the Second Battle of La-Messonelle and afterward at the Battle of Mousilon Come on stage." Fulgan cut off a corner of the fried egg, the dinosaur egg was very fishy, but the half-human harpy could cook it very refreshing and delicious.
"Hmph!" Seeing Forgan talking about her father, Karona raised her head proudly.
"I also know Ryan, Ryan Macado, Duke Mousillon, your neighbor of Essler, the crown prince of Britannia, and your only trading partner." Fulgan continued, he picked up the coffee, Stirring with a small silver spoon, he took a small sip: "Do you know him?"
"Huh~" This time the hum became longer and slower.
"I'm honored to introduce myself. My name is Fulgan, the head of the Legion of Ashes, and the brother of Ryan Malcador." Fulgan put down the coffee cup and forked the sausage: "Your father and my brother are more than We fought side by side once and for all.”
"Huh?" Karona looked up at Fulgan in disbelief, she still refused to speak, but the expression on her face had changed from anger to doubt.
Ryan, she knows that Alaros has fought side by side with Ryan several times in the Woodland Council, which is not news, but what does this have to do with the human being in front of him?
Karona thought for a while, she really wasn't sure if the silver-haired human being in front of her and Eisley's only trading partner were relatives. After being tied up all night and taking the chameleon anesthetic, Karona just felt tired Hungry, but for wood elves, their physique is still far superior to that of humans. After a short period of doubt, she regained her anger and continued to glare at Fulgrim. Except for the sound of breathing and a cold snort of disdain, There was no more reaction, and finally he simply closed his eyes.
Elves are like this. Elves used to be synonymous with kindness and civilization in ancient times, but for thousands of years, the wind of chaos blowing to the mortal world made the high elves stubborn, the dark elves indulgent, and the wood elves free. The only thing that remains the same is their pretentious arrogance. While enjoying breakfast, Fulgan looked at the wood elf in front of him and felt a little embarrassed. He knew the existence of Alaros from Ryan and knew that Alaros was a wood elf. The god-chosen champion of Elf Queen Alair, he heard what happened last night.
So now what to do with this elf? Fulgan expressed a contented look on his face, but he felt a little embarrassed in his heart.
Since she is the daughter of Alaros, it is not easy to kill,
The Primarch of the Emperor's Children is not Angron's kind of fool who first strikes with the ax and asks questions while he strikes.
It is also impossible to let her go, not to mention that doing so may cause future troubles. It is unacceptable for Fulgrim to hide in the forest and try to take revenge on his army.
After thinking about it, Fulgan also finished his breakfast. He changed his watch and became amiable: "Since your father is Alaros and your mother is the lord of Wenderich, then you can also be regarded as a wood elf." Princess, right? In view of the friendship between my brother Ryan and the wood elves, I will not hand you over to those people outside for the time being."
"Hmph." Carona lifted her neck proudly, and seemed to be relieved. She looked at Fulgrim with contempt, as if he should be like this in the first place. She is indeed a real wood elf princess. , Alaros is the lord of the woodlands of Tarcyon, and his daughter is of course the real princess.
"But what I want to say is that I am carrying out a very important mission. Before this mission is completed, I need you to follow us and not leave. What do you mean?" Forgan put forward his own conditions.
This group of people knew at a glance that they were going to enter Itaza! Carona rolled her eyes, she thought to herself that as long as she could enter Itaza, she should seize the opportunity.
After thinking about it for a while, the female elf felt that this was feasible, she nodded decisively and agreed: "Quickly untie me, I promise you, I can also temporarily forgive you and your subordinates for being rude."
"Happy cooperation, come here." Fulgen was amused, and he shouted outside: "Come in, untie this Wood Elf Princess Karona, and prepare her the same breakfast!"
"Yes!" Two great swordsmen came in from the door, with wretched smiles on their faces, and they loosened the rope for Karona a few times, and the wood elf princess glared at them unhappily : "Give me back my bow and dagger and quiver!"
"This..." The two great swordsmen looked at Fulgrim with some embarrassment.
"Weapons will definitely not be given to you... Your Majesty Carona, please condescend to act with us. I hope you know how harsh the environment here is. If it wasn't for us, you would have already been tied up and ready to be thrown into the storm." The dragon pit." Fulgan said gracefully, his voice was as sweet as a musical instrument, but the fire of hell was burning deep inside: "Also, if it wasn't us, if you were replaced by other humans, you might not be so lucky, no Every human being knows Alaros-Hero, and not every Legion Master is Lion's brother."
"Damn! You humans are always like this, that's why Eslai hates any unwelcome guests entering the forest. Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, it's not a very pleasant memory." Karona's tone was full of grievances, She said with some lack of confidence: "Father and mother never taught me that human beings are so cunning. Your words and deeds are like Loic the fraudster. What a strange uncle!"
Weird uncle? Fulgan's smile became stiff, he was about to ask you why a wood elf princess came to Lustria, and she was alone, when the half-human harpy came in from outside with a plate: "Legion commander, you ordered the same Dedicated to this princess, may your singing be as clear as the dew on the leaves in the morning~"
"Thank you~" Karona thanked the half people very politely, and the wood elf princess ignored Fulgrim, went out with a plate on her own, and started to eat breakfast.
Forget it, if she is alone, there is no big problem. It would be best if it can be included. If not, let people watch it. If it doesn't work, send a boat to send her back to the old world. Forgan made a decision after a little thought.
So, after the breakfast was over, there was an additional wood elf stalker in the Ashes Legion's team, and everyone broke out, and then continued to move towards the city of the beginning.
Karona initially thought that the legion leader would enshrine her as a distinguished guest, or at least let her follow her actions, but it turned out that there was no such thing at all, Fulgan handed her over to his subordinates of the Phoenix Guard Let her be in charge of raising the horses. No matter where she goes, the two phoenix guards are usually inseparable, and Fulgrim's time is basically busy talking to Skink priests, golden mages or Julius, and the wood elf princess seldom A chance to speak to this strange uncle.
On the contrary, the soldiers of the Ash Legion liked to talk to this female elf. During the boring journey, it was rare to have a woman in the army, and she was a very rare female elf. These soldiers really had excessive hormone secretion, and they kept trying to Most of the conversations with Karona were flattery to the legion commander Fulgan they respect and admire.
In the chatter, Karona roughly learned about a series of brilliant feats of Fulgrim, carrying the lizardman army, destroying the Chaos tribe Skogi, fighting the Chaos Demon in the Pyramid of Dawn, guarding Itaza, and fighting the four gods of Chaos in blood. The magic army, and the critical moment to face the Skaven, the Vampire Coast severely damaged Luthor Harken's Pirate King fleet.
A series of great victories were blown away by the soldiers, as if Fulgrim was an omnipotent god. The wood elf princess was a little dizzy when she heard it, thinking that this human being is really so powerful?
How does it sound, stronger than her father, Alaros, the recognized hero of the wood elves?
The wood elf princess knew about Ryan's great achievements, and she thought that there was nothing surprising about Ryan's brother.
After two days of trekking, Itaza finally appeared in front of everyone. They saw the most magnificent scene on this mysterious continent. The tall lizardman stands high above the dense tree canopy, under the bright sun. Shining brightly, hundreds of laser beams from the top of the pyramid pierced the sky.
The young races looked at the scene in front of them. Even though they had already seen such a scene, the soldiers were still amazed. Every city of the gods was extremely ancient. It was built in the ancient city of the ancient holy era, and there had never been any young people. The race of men was capable of building great cities so large and yet so simply magnificent, that grand buildings and colossal pyramids still stand today on a scale that is astonishing and unmatched.
Now, Itaza has been restored to its former glory under Crocker's leadership. Every creature in the city performs its own duties to make the city more and more magnificent, and the skinks are responsible for ensuring that the city can be normal and stable. Under the ornately decorated arches, the Lizardmen Legion is setting off. They accept Crocker's order to recover those lost god cities. Hundreds of Cold Ones are surrounding the city under the driving of Cold One riders. Patrol, Triceratops dragging all kinds of heavy building materials prepared for monitor lizards slowly forward, although Itaza's activity and splendor are already a small silhouette of the miracle of the past, at least Crocker has brought revival opportunity.
"Take care of her, I'll go in and hand over the slabs." Fulgan told his men, and then followed the Skink Priest towards the central pyramid, a huge and majestic stepped pyramid-shaped building towering above everything, The Skink Priest opened the door of the Star Observation Room, indicating that Fulgrim could go in. He was the only one, and the rest of the army could only wait outside the Great Pyramid. Karona had already seen the emerald pool, and the waves of light The sparkling emerald pool has a healing power that is enough to make the elf mother goddess Isha envy and envy. The wood elf princess resisted her inner excitement, but she knew it was not the time yet.
Fulgan entered the inner room, and in the cloud-shrouded stargazing room, Fulgar gently placed the slate on the ground: "As agreed, I took the slate back."
Wearing the engraving plate of the sun god Potek, wearing the Itza amulet, holding a malachite scepter in one hand, and a sacred snake battle flag in the other, Crocker, the first generation of magic toad with a golden death mask on his face, sits upright on the Supreme Holy Throne On top of it, it gently exhaled a mouthful of thick mist: "Let it go, Son of the Old Sage, well done."
Fulgrim put down the Old Sage Tablet, and the Primarch of the Emperor's Son wanted to see if there was any expression on this first-generation magic toad, but the golden death mask had already covered Crocker's head, revealing only a pair of eyes full of wisdom and magic. The eyes of the vortex, these eyes stared at Fulgrim: "Son of the Old Sage, the power of the stars is fading, the great protection is gradually becoming invalid, the deal between me and your father is still valid, our efforts may not be able to stop the evil at the last moment. Come, but we still have a chance to preserve enough strength to fight back, it's all part of the big plan."
"What is the big plan?" Fulgan finally asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.
"The Great Plan is a deep understanding that cannot be expressed in words." Crocker's psychic echoes traveled back and forth in the muffled and dense fog: "The Old Ones, my masters, have made great plans, not through Words, but through deep understanding, whispers of thought came into my head in ancient languages, Son of the Old Ones, you cannot understand the true meaning of the Great Plan, perhaps your father, the young Old One, can, But you can't."
"I can't do it?" Fulgan was not only a little puzzled when he heard this answer, but also a little instinctively displeased. He has always had almost absolute confidence in his own strength. He really couldn't imagine why Crocker couldn't even himself. Willing to say? !
"You don't have the ability to understand the will of the Old Sage, the son of the Old Sage, even your father, can't fully understand the will of the Old Sage." Crocker seemed to see Fulgan's doubts and thoughts, and it went on to say: "Also Too young, and being young means being superficial and childish at times."
Fulgan remained silent, he obviously did not intend to accept Crocker's statement.
Crocker sat on the Supreme Holy Throne, saw Fulgan's watch, it continued to speak.
"Your father is a young Old Sage. Perhaps in your opinion, he is already very powerful." Crocker's words contain the power of stars and the source of creation: "But among the Old Sages, too Young, only more than 40,000 years old, there have been many supreme existences like this in the millions of years of history of the ancient sages. The lord of mankind, your father, is just one of these supreme existences. It’s just an inconspicuous existence, son of the Old Sage, you haven’t seen the creation power of your master, but you must know Asuryan, the lord of the spirit race? He once pulled nine stars together to form a nebula with his own power, yours Father is very powerful, but he is not invincible, just...in exchange, the knowledge I gave to the master, revive me and help me purify the hatching pool, rebuild our home, and we each get what we need."
"..." Fulgrim remained silent, unwilling to admit in his heart that the power of his respected father, the emperor, the lord of mankind was evaluated by Master Crocker as just one of countless supreme beings, but rational Tell him Crocker has no reason to lie.
"Very good, very good, you understand, very good, Son of the Old Sage, come with me." Crocker signaled Fulgrim to keep up with its supreme holy seat: "I have two tasks for you."
