Chapter 888: The Enemy Is in the Phoenix Royal Court!

In the conference room inside the cabin, the atmosphere in the entire room almost froze.

Tyrion's attitude is very clear, the Warlord has definitely had a ghost, so there must be a ghost.

Bellarion and Sealord Aislin are undoubtedly from the Tyrion faction. The former has been Tyrion's adjutant for many years, and the latter, like Tyrion, is from the Kingdom of Cosque, although the two There isn't much communication, but there's no doubt they're a faction.

As for Istrona, the chief maid of the Eternal Queen, there is no need to say more.

At this time, Ryan was no longer the young and impulsive knight of the Kingdom. The King of Knights couldn't understand why Tyrion said that, but he still nodded and expressed the hope that Tyrion would continue.

But Surya is thinking about the cause and effect.

What do the high elves want to do?

Are these guys going to throw the pot of this war on us? Surya thought about it.

The queen thought it was very possible at first. The high elves lost a lot in the battle of Dragonfjord, and they also had internal strife. The current situation is that everyone needs to choose a "suitable target" to take the blame.

Judging from the current situation, it does seem appropriate to throw the blame on Ryan and his group. First of all, Ryan and the others are "outsiders" no matter what they say, and Teclis once warned Ryan to bring dwarves and dark Elves only make things worse, and dwarves and dark elves are two of the top three things high elves hate.

Especially the existence of Olika, it is normal for Tyrion to use this as an excuse to attack Britannia.

However, Surya thought about it carefully, but she felt that it was impossible. If Tyrion pinned the blame on them so easily and simply, he would be really stupid, and he didn't deserve to be a war lord.

The most important reasons are two points. First, Ryan and his group were proposed by Teglis, and Tyrion made the decision to introduce them. If Ryan and these people are really insiders, then what are the Tygris brothers? To lure wolves into the house?

Secondly, Lilith endorsed Ryan behind him, coupled with Teclis' influence and guarantee, Tyrion had no reason to do anything to his "own people".

Thinking of this, Suria already understood, and the Queen of Knights took the initiative to say, "Your Excellency Tyrion, have you discovered anything?"

"Yeah." Tyrion didn't realize that his behavior made Suria think a lot. On the contrary, he said seriously: "I think the results of the military meeting have been leaked."

"Leak out?" Ryan frowned upon hearing this.

The King of Knights thought about it for a while, and he said in a low voice: "Your Excellency Tyrion, this joke is not to be taken. We all know that in the War Council, except for a very small number of people (referring to Imrik and the Dragon Prince), most The elven prince is chosen by you or Teclis, if you tell the ghost..."

"No, I don't mean that there are ghosts in the War Council." Tyrion became more and more sure, he nodded again and again, and said seriously: "Lyan, Suria, you can think about it carefully, the previous long For a period of time, our war council spent a long time failing to formulate operational plans and strategic goals due to various things and the tradition of Asur. Assuming that there is an inner ghost in the war council at this time, then the other party should know us We should deploy our defenses as soon as we mobilize our forces and concentrate our army on Lothern, and attack other weakly defended targets in one fell swoop."

"But the enemy didn't. Both the undead and our cousins ​​were waiting." Tyrion continued: "And things changed when we learned that the undead and their cousins ​​had gathered an army to haunt the seas off Ulthuan. , Do you still remember? At that time, we held an emergency meeting, and all the elf princes present in Lothern, including His Majesty Finnubar and his entire courtiers, came to the War Council."

"Your Excellency the Lord of War is right. It was there that we formulated our marching route and battle plan." The sea lord Aislin was also annoyed and angry at the difficulty of this naval battle. He was also the only one who tried to pursue after the battle. Loxia - the high-spirited commander of the Fleet of the Fallen Heart. Unfortunately, the high-spirited loss was huge. In addition, it was impossible for Imrik to hand over the command of the Dragon Prince, so he had no choice but to give up. Compass drew the chart and said, "I doubt it. Maybe after we finished the meeting, our plan was sent to the cousins' table."

Ryan understood, he understood Tyrion's meaning: "You mean, among Finnuba's courtiers and his servants... there are ghosts?"

"Fenubar's courtiers come from all the kingdoms of Ulthuan, and the identities of many people are hard to be verified. Of course, we have no right to decide how His Majesty the Phoenix King appoints courtiers, only the right to suggest, and his servants That's right." Tyrion nodded, and the war lord thought about everything carefully: "I know Finnubar's habits, he is not good at military affairs, so after reading our battle plan, he will definitely call a meeting of the courtiers to discuss, and then everything will be settled. It happened naturally."

"If there is an inner ghost among the courtiers of the Phoenix King, why is Fenubah all right now?" Ryan still didn't understand.

"Usually, Finnuba and Kohir are always inseparable, and as I said, something happened suddenly that day. The war council was supposed to be meeting to discuss the military situation. Finnuba usually didn't come, and he gave me full authority. At most, he brought Kohir with him. Er came together, only when the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse that day, he was eager to ask us to come up with a plan, so he brought the whole court and a group of servants here!" Tyrion was already impatient: "This is my Unexpectedly, why can't he just stay in the Phoenix King's Court and wait for our triumphant return?"

"..." Ryan said nothing, and at the same time wondered if Finnuba could prepare a belt edict.

Suria thought of the conflict between herself and Ryan before. She held back her smile and thought that if there was no previous incident, the relationship between the husband and wife would not have a real breakthrough and a thorough heart-to-heart, right?

"When Finnubar appointed me as the Lord of War, I thought Asur's greatest enemy was his cousin Druzzi across the sea! After I drove Druzzi out of Ulthuan completely, I thought that Chaos was our greatest enemy. After the maelstrom is stabilized, the monsters on the Anuli Mountains have become our worries, and now there are undead, green skins, and ratmen." Tyrion became more and more angry, but he still Keep rational: "I am now more and more aware that the real threat to me, Azul, is not outside, but in Lothern, in the Phoenix Royal Court and the War Council! It's just that we only know Among the elf princes who fight among themselves and procrastinate, as well as those courtiers who pass the news to the dark elves with their corpses!"

Ryan suddenly thought of something, and he couldn't help laughing: "But what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do?" Tyrion was already excited, and he stood up: "I want to tell Finuba, our Phoenix King, his Phoenix Court is now full of weeds!"

"And how to do it? It's very simple! Go back to Lothern, go back to the army, and then weed!"

"Only by hoeing the weeds! I can safely move north to protect the barren islands and the gate of the phoenix!"

"The enemy is in the Phoenix King's Court?" Ryan was thoughtful.

Tai Ritian is so poisonous. In this way, wouldn't Ryan and Suria be automatically included in his camp?

"That's right, the enemy is in the Phoenix Royal Court!"

………I am the dividing line of burning Finuba…………

Coming out of the Marselan and returning to the Enterprise, Suria arranged for the guards while leaning against Ryan and whispered, "What kind of person do you think he is?"

"He is a person who has a real sense of responsibility and wants to do something for Ulthuan." Ryan thought for a while and said in a low voice: "In any case, Tyrion has truly fulfilled his role as the guardian of Ulthuan. He deserves to be one of the last descendants of Alario, and he has a sense of responsibility and mission to the high elves."

"I know this, and I admire him very much." Su Liya nodded. After thinking for a while, she decided to continue: "But his behavior...don't you think it's a bit too much?"

"What's too much? Is it arbitrariness in the military, is it restricting Finnuba's actions, or is he planning to purge his courtiers?" Ryan glanced at Suria with a half-smile, and the King of Knights obviously thought of something.

"I mean, Ryan, if you have a subordinate like this, have you already cleaned him up?" Surya couldn't help but narrow her sea-blue eyes into crescent moons, she thought seriously: "But The situation between you and Finubar is a bit different. You are simply an all-rounder. You are the top in military, internal affairs and personal prowess. How should I put it, I think of the brother you mentioned, the one named Guilliman, don’t you think? Is his background similar to yours?"

"There are a few differences." Ryan shook his head: "First of all, Guilliman didn't have so many challenges in Macragge. His world didn't have any threats from chaos, greenskins, and undead. Furthermore, he was different from me. Magic resistance has always been weak, it is easy to eat control spells, and my magic resistance is probably the highest among all brothers except my father, but instead my physical fitness is weaker, but I am not afraid of corruption .”

"You won't end up as strong as Brother Angron, will you? Then I can't stand it." Surya said shyly.

"Oh." Ryan narrowed his eyes, and he looked at the great vortex that was constantly twisting and rotating in the distance.

This thing, together with the Great Guardian, suppressed the growth of the Primarch. Angron was originally at least three meters tall, but after being transformed, he was only about 2.6 meters tall, and Fulgrim was the same. In fact, it was all restricted in this respect. The great protection left by the Old Ones left the Primarch's power incomplete.

So the Primarch is actually just an Emperor Demon with a shell that can walk in the mortal world, Ryan thought so, he can be regarded as the Emperor's servant at most, and he is also the only one who has not been removed by the Emperor Primarchs capable of reproduction, other Primarchs can be humane but sterile.

"If I can have a military commander or regent with all-round military and political power like Tyrion, I will definitely make him a war commander and let him act on his own." Ryan brought the topic back: "But the premise is that I have enough to fight against him. I am not afraid of anyone, especially the commander, when it comes to single-handedly fighting and governing the country, but the situation of Finuba is different, and the high-level political system is completely different."

"Procrastination, inefficiency, infighting insiders, all day long to understand court intrigue and party dissidents?" Su Liya took Ryan's arm: "I was thinking, why can this system last for thousands of years? Even in Brittany Ya didn't do that either."

"There has never been a political system that is unreasonable, only a political system that suits you and can work." Ryan said meaningfully: "Do you think Gao Jing is stretched? Let me tell you, the history of the Phoenix Dynasty is almost over. One hundred Soviet Unions is as long~"

"Soviet Union?" Surya didn't understand: "What is that?"

"Cough, cough, cough~" Ryan thought he was embarrassed to say it, and he thought that it was really not easy to compare. Most of the high-spirited lifespans can live close to a thousand years, so he made a haha ​​to expose the problem: "Okay , that is not what we should care about, our most important task now is to try to capture the scroll of mantra."

"How can I do it?" Suria nodded in agreement: "You and brother Fulgan?"

"That's right." Ryan looked at the blue sea and blue sky, put his arms around his wife, and said in a low voice: "Right now, I have the best chance. Do you still remember the news about Teclis?"

"Night of Witchcraft?"

"That's right, at that time, Fulgen and I will teleport to the inner city, and then prepare to go to the Asuryan Flame Temple and the Phoenix Pyramid." Ryan frowned: "As for the next thing, we can only take one step Take a step."

"Well, if necessary, the lady and I will do our best to help you, but... what about Olika?" Surya thought about everything.

"Olika will help us create chaos." Ryan nodded: "She has already contacted."

In this way, a few days later, the combined fleet returned to Lothern.

The first thing Warlord Tyrion did when he returned to Lothern was to confront Imrik. The two sides had a terrible confrontation in front of hundreds of elf princes in the Phoenix Court. Reasonable and well-founded, they slammed the opponent's mistakes in this war.

Outside the royal court, the Dragon Prince and the Silver Helmet Knights took sides, waiting for the result.

Phoenix King Fenuba exhausted all his skills to calm down the two parties. Thanks to Fenuba's super affinity, coupled with Gao Jing's internal and external crises, the two sides did not intend to use force to solve the problem, but Constantly trying to strengthen his court influence through this matter.

Tyrion had to admit that Caledor's rise was irresistible since the silver dragonhorn of Iselama was back in the hands of the dragon princes, and they had a way to wake up the dragon in times of crisis.

In the end, the two sides reached a compromise under the mediation of the Eternal Queen's emissary, the chief maid Istrona.

Neither Ryan nor Forgan knew the specific content of the compromise, nor were they interested in inquiring.

Immediately afterwards, Tyrion tried to "weed" Finnubar's Phoenix Court, but was rejected by Finnubar. The Phoenix King only allowed Tyrion to conduct very limited investigations on the courtiers around him, and he had to There must be solid evidence to support the existence of the inner ghost before arresting people. Finnuba's attitude made Tyrion very unhappy, and the two sides quarreled several times without any result.

At this time, important members of the War Council such as Teclis, Imrik, Eltharion, and Aislin, and even Istrona thought it was not time to "examine themselves", and they had to be prepared to deal with witchcraft Chaos demons of the night.

And just like that, as the time wore on towards the end of November, the Night of Witchcraft approached.

That afternoon, in the inner city of Lothern, the corner of the palace where Ryan buried the crystal.

A bright psychic light flashed in the corner, the psychic matrix field was functioning normally, and the warp through the subspace was activated.

Lion Malcador, Primarch of the Gray Knights, and Fulgrim, Primarch of the Emperor's Children, appeared in the light.

"The action begins!"

"There is only one target, the scroll of the Phoenix Mantra in the Phoenix Pyramid of the Asuryan Flame Temple!"

"The code name is Sanguinius!"
