Chapter 887, Asuryan Bless Ursuan
To be honest, in the Great Battle of Dragonfjord, although the two ironclad ships of Ryan and Forgan fought bravely and destroyed seven enemy ships (five of which were destroyed by the Enterprise), they did not live up to expectations. The role played in determining the entire battle situation.
According to Tyrion and Aislin's plan to attack the ship cemetery, they actually planned to let the two ironclad ships rush to the front first, rush into the ship cemetery to absorb enough damage, and then let the star dragon fleet follow from behind. Up, outflank the enemy.
This plan did not materialize, as the attack on the Shipburial Grounds had not yet taken place.
For Ryan and others, their original plan was like this. The so-called "protecting the ship against the enemy" refers not to letting the ironclad ship hide in the port as a target, but to line the ironclad ship in the middle of the front line in naval battles. Give full play to your own firepower advantage and strong and indestructible advantage, and let the high-precision fleet freely use their advantages of quick assault, quick turn and flank outflanking.
But this plan obviously cannot be realized. There are two reasons. The first one is unknown to Ryan and Fulgen, that is, the Minister of Shire never told the War Council of Ryan's ideas from the beginning to the end, so the War Council did not know at all. I didn't know Ryan's suggestion, so I didn't consider this tactic.
The second reason everyone knows is that this encounter came unprepared, which caused the ironclad ship to be dragged to the end. Clumsy, in terms of speed, whether it is facing the undead fleet that ignores fatigue or the dark elf fleet that has always been known for its pirate tactics, it does not have an advantage. Strong personal martial arts can't be displayed.
This is very uncomfortable.
What Ryan and others didn't expect was that the undead pirates actually had cannons that could penetrate obsidian armor!
Although the Enterprise is fine, the Hagia Sophia has been bombarded and destroyed. The forepeak cabin, side deck, accommodation cabin and bridge were all shot and caught fire. The Ash Legion soldiers on the battleship were also slightly damaged. I was ashamed twice, which made the emperor's son Primarch, who is very proud and perfect by nature, very depressed. He really has no interest in participating in the next thing. Fulgan used the psychic call to say hello to Ryan, and he was ready Retreat and return to Lothern for repairs.
Lean was left with basically no loss or injury on the Enterprise.
The fleet of the high elves also suffered heavy losses. Ten giant star dragon ships were sunk, five were severely damaged, and seven were moderately damaged. Of the sixteen ships, the rest were either severely damaged or moderately damaged, almost destroying Earl Nor's flagship, the Bloody Predator, and only the Tower of the Black Ark, God's Blessing the Evil Party, escaped. However, after this battle, the high elf fleet was threatened in the north Under such circumstances, it is impossible to consider entering the Burial Ship Cemetery in the near future, and with such a huge loss, it may take many years for Earl Noctilus to reassemble his undead fleet.
Therefore, in Ryan's view, if Imrik hadn't suddenly led the dragon knight army to sweep the entire battlefield, it would be hard to say who would win and who would lose.
And now, the King of Knights finds himself having to contend with yet another controversy.
"Your Majesty, I think I must publicly impeach His Highness Prince Caledor Imrik in your court, if it weren't for his slow support and ineffective rescue! Our Azul has already won a big victory!" Warlord Tai Ryan was very angry in front of everyone, he almost pointed at Imrik's nose and made his own complaint: "I think he has an unshirkable responsibility for the huge sacrifice of women and children in this war!"
"Your Majesty, I must also launch a public impeachment against the war lord Prince Tyrion you appointed." Imrik holds the Spear of the Stars. The divine power of this weapon, the tip of this weapon is forged from a fallen meteor core. With such a sharp long tip, Imrik's enemies are equivalent to wearing no armor. Prince Caledor is just complacent at this time. At that time, he and his Kingdom of Caledor finally felt proud once, hundreds of dragons! He no longer needs to emphasize that his ancestors were rich.
Although I know in my heart that the silver dragon horn of Iselama can only awaken the dragon for a short time, instead of accompanying the dragon princes like my mount, the ancient shining star dragon Minatnir, this battle is over for the dragons Will go back to sleep, but with the Horn of the Dragon, Caledor will surely be revived again.
"I want to impeach Your Excellency the War Lord. His stupid and failed tactics and strategies are the root cause of our bad start and surprise attacks in this battle. As the leader of the War Council, he must bear the main responsibility for the sacrifices." Responsibility!" Imrik pointed at Tyrion in full view, his attitude was so arrogant that even Finnubar interrupted arbitrarily when he was about to exhort: "Whether you want to participate in the war is up to me Lido's freedom, he Tyrion does not abide by our glorious traditions of Caledon, we have no obligation to send troops!"
"Protecting Ulthuan is the duty of every elf!" Tyrion clenched his Sunflame Sword, and the warlord asked: "Imric! Everything we do is to protect Ulthuan. Before you Refusing to participate in the war council and dispatching troops has already made a big mistake. At that time, I was looking at the enemy and giving priority to uniting and fighting against foreign countries. It does not mean that I acquiesced in your actions. Don’t you know that because of your slow support, several Thousands of Azul casualties? Do you understand your mistakes? What right do you have to be complacent here?"
"What right do you have to say some irrelevant words here? Tyrion? As the commander-in-chief of the army, your ridiculous tactics and flawed strategy are the reasons for the unfavorable battle situation. If it wasn't for Finnuba Sincerely ask me to lend a helping hand, I will not save you, a drowning person, and you will be killed by undead pirates!" Imric was so aggressive that he even laughed out loud: "Tyrion, not Caledor , you will die today!"
When Ryan boarded the Marselan, what he saw was this scene. Tyrion and Imrik started filming, and the two were cursing in front of the high-elite army. They walked and scolded all the way. It seemed that they were going to All the way back to Lothern, and then handed over to Phoenix King Fenuba to make a decision.
Ryan and Suria looked at each other, feeling really helpless.
The high-spirited political system determines that in this case, no matter whether Tyrion is willing or not, he must come out and question Imrik, otherwise, as the war lord, he will be responsible for this war. The main responsibility for the large number of casualties.
Similarly, the militant Imrik has to hate Tyrion in order to emphasize his contribution, increase his influence and strengthen his position.
A hundred giant dragons soared above the sky, and the ancient shining star dragon Minatenir spread its wings. Its huge size and terrifying dragon power frightened the high elf army on Marselan.
Do you hear me? I am reasoning with you!
Both Ryan and Suria are not afraid of Longwei, but they are really helpless in the face of this situation. This is the benefit of centralization. Under his leadership, the Knight Kingdom has begun to evolve towards centralization.
To put it simply, high-precision wars are like this, regardless of whether you win or not, the pot must be divided first.
Ryan was not interested in participating in the dispute between Tyrion and Imrik. The King of Knights came up to say hello to Tyrion, asking him if he planned to continue marching, or to retreat back to Lothern first, and reminded Tyrion that the Enterprise There are no more shells.
Imrik gave Ryan a face in a rare way. Prince Caledoron saw Ryan pulling Suria aboard, and greeted Ryan in a rare way: "Hello, King of Knights, your ironclad ship is here. The performance in this war is passable, so-so."
This sounded like provocative words, but it made all the high elves open their mouths.
Prince Caledon actually has a day to praise others?
Damn, is this man really Imrik?
Wasn't it secretly replaced by some Tzeentch changeling spirit?
Surrounded by the shocked eyes of the crowd, Imrik shook his head awkwardly, then nodded. He gave up pestering Tyrion, but ordered the dragon princes to retreat, and finally said a harsh word to Tyrion: " When we get to Lothern, Finnubar will rule everything."
"I'm always here." Tyrion could only feel anger filling his soul, and in the depths of his consciousness, an irresistible voice was whispering frantically.
"kill him!"
"Kill all who disobey you."
"Kill everyone."
"Give me their blood and glory."
The bloodthirsty desire tormented Tyrion's heart, especially when everything was going wrong, the Warlord's hand trembled slightly, he clenched the hilt of the Yangyan Sword, different from Teclis's ascetic and Protected by Lilith from Kane's harassment of the Dreamland, Tyrion is always haunted by Kane's whispers and thirst for blood.
During those nights with the Everqueen, Tyrion could ignore or ignore Cairne's whispers, but once he left the tender land of Avalon, Tyrion would be haunted by Cairne's whispers.
He could see the whole world burning under the heels of Chaos, the sneer on the faces of the Chaos Gods who waited to devour the souls of his people, saw the Chaos Gods enslave his people with the world as their toy . He also sees the huge hole his minions have created in the real world in order to conquer the world.
All resistance is in vain, this is just a black comedy that delays destruction, the resistance of mortals only prolongs their pain, and the only hope is Kane, Kane will let mortals enjoy killing, love killing, and indulge themselves desire...and to do so, the sword, the sword of Caine, the Widowmaker, that rests on the altar of Caine on the Isle of Desolation, is calling for a new master!
No, that's not the power I'm supposed to touch, it's...
"Lord Tyrion? Lord War Lord? Are you listening?" Just as Tyrion was thinking wildly, Ryan's voice came into Tyrion's ears, and the War Lord raised his head subconsciously.
ah! So bright, the incomparably bright light spots formed an extremely orderly and neat matrix in the void. This matrix illuminated all nearby areas. Kane's angry roar echoed in the void, but he gradually moved away. I was driven away by the bright matrix of order in front of me.
So that's the reason why Lilith chose Ryan? Tyrion's trance was only for a moment. He calmed down, stared at the Britannia Knight King and Queen in front of him, and squeezed out a smile: "What a brilliant victory, Your Majesty the Knight King, what's the matter?" ?”
Tyrion was even more upset, men were less respectful, especially for a proud war lord, he didn't like to see such awesome people, especially men.
"What should we do next?" Ryan didn't know what Tyrion was thinking, but he could feel the lingering Kane curse on Tyrion, and he released his psionic power to temporarily dispel Against Kane's will, he asked as friendly as possible: "My suggestion is that despite the victory in the war, our losses are also great. The Enterprise's shells are all used up, so we should temporarily withdraw our troops."
Ryan's words hit Tyrion's deepest thoughts. The war lord also knew that the high elves could no longer fight. The front lines of the North and the dark elves were in a hurry. According to the prophecy that comes, the Chaos Demons will appear on a large scale in Osuan in the Night of Witchcraft. At this time, if they fight at any cost, not only will there be no benefit, but it will also not meet the duties of the guardian of Tyrion Ulthuan.
However, the warlord obviously felt that it was not good to agree so easily. Besides, Ryan had already proved his status and strength with his strength, so Tyrion simply reached out: "It is roughly the same, but we obviously still have some details to detail." Let’s talk, please enter the cabin and discuss in detail, Knight King and Queen.”
Entering the Marselan's meeting room, Ryan noticed that the Eternal Queen's chief maid, Istrona, was also there, as well as Sea Lord Aislin and Tyrion's chief lieutenant, Bellarion.
"Your Majesty the Knight King, withdraw the troops and return to consolidate Ulthuan's defense. I think this is the only feasible result at present." Tyrion signaled Ryan and Suria to sit opposite him.
"I think so too." Ryan pulled Suria to sit down, the King of Knights thought for a while, and then said: "The loss of the undead pirates is so huge, the Bloody Predator was severely damaged, and the other party has no ability to attack Austria for at least ten years." Su'an is gone, but we don't have the ability to march now, the Saint Sophia was damaged..."
"No, no, no!" Tyrion waved his hand, indicating to Ryan that you made a big mistake from the beginning, and the war lord directly interrupted Ryan, signaling Ryan to listen to him.
After getting along with Gao Jing for a long time, Ryan also got used to Gao Jing's style, and he reached out his hand to signal Tyrion to speak.
"I thought about it carefully. The alliance between the undead and the cousins, as well as this inexplicable assault, can only explain one problem." Tyrion said seriously: "That is, there are ghosts in this war. , They leaked our intelligence and marching route! This led to this inexplicable surprise attack on us, and finally let Imrik, a stupid and stubborn ass, find a chance to perform!"
"The inner ghost?" Ryan was thoughtful. Indeed, the timing of this encounter was just right, as if he knew their marching route and battle plan: "Then who do you think the inner ghost is?"
"The inner ghost... Obviously, this inner ghost was not a member of our war council from the beginning."
Tyrian suddenly turned his sharp eyes on Helian and Suria.
"There is no doubt! The inner ghost is..."_
