Chapter 228 Royal Court Order

Lynch is not a reckless man who does not understand Assur's political system. The direct rulers of the major kingdoms of Ulthuan are the princes of each country.

The soldiers' eyes will only follow the Elf Prince who fights with them, not the illusive Royal Court Commander.

Once you enter the Phoenix King's Court, all kinds of palace conspiracies will definitely follow.

Lynch doesn't like trouble.

The archmage didn't ask any more questions, as if he had let go of something on his mind.

The Asur fleet sailed toward Lothern in a mighty manner, and no blind pirate dared to face Asur's edge.

It took Lynch a short time to successfully become familiar with the soldiers, especially the sentry guards of Yris.

Although the lizards are taciturn, the elves seem to be satisfied with Lynch's posture. In their stereotype, cold-blooded people should be like this, powerful and mysterious.

The high elves who had faced Druchi's sword on the battlefield were talking about old times at sea, and the sea guard recalled with some emotion the maritime trade that hundreds of rivals fought against decades ago.

At that time, countless gold flowed into Lothern every day, while more Asul spices and gems flowed overseas.

The shadow of the Dread Fleet drove away all this, and it took less than a year for the undead to destroy the prosperity that had lasted for hundreds of years.

Although in more distant times, there were Norscans who tirelessly harassed merchant ships.

At that time, Ulthuan had to fight off several Norscan invasions every day.

The eldest Triton joked about the most impressive enemy, which was less than fifty Norscans.

When he followed the prince to welcome the visitors on the longship, tens of thousands of sea guards blocked all coastlines that could be landed.

He thought there would be a bloody battle, but the enemies were only a handful of poor Norscans.

Those hairless monkeys are indeed brave, and dozens of them dare to charge to Wanhaiwei.

But this bravery is useless.

Amidst Azul's laughter, Lynch figured out Ulthuan's current situation.

There have been far fewer attacks by barbarians in the past millennium, because the Great Magister of the White Tower, Belanar the Wise, evoked the mist surrounding the island of Ulthuan. This apprentice of the "Wise King" Bel Kehadis, He has become the second most powerful mage among the existing high elves.

Before Teclis came to prominence, he firmly held the position of first among the mages.

The magical mist protects the island of Ulthuan, and few Druzi and Norscans can break through the mist and land.

This makes Ulthuan as blessed a place as the forests of Athel Loren, though of course the Age Oak's magical realm goes far beyond the work of mortal mages.

Lin Qi left the chatting warriors and walked around the huge dragon boat.

This backward sailing ship was comparable in size to the aircraft carrier in Lynch's memory. Asul did not master the art of gunpowder, but his classical attainments had reached the pinnacle.

Standing by the sharp collision angle of the dragon boat, Lin Qi looked at the sea.

The slender eagle ships guarded the dragon ships. Each eagle ship had three masts, a huge eagle head carved on the bow, and a giant ballistae on the bow and stern.

Many eagle ships have platforms for dragons to park on, but now there is only an empty surface.

More eagle ships carry a mage tower, and the most exaggerated one, the Savri Eagle ship, even carries four.

It was they who withstood the dark magic storm of the Skaven Warlock, and the power of magic filled the Assur ships, making Lynch feel refreshed with every breath.

Further away, there are no merchant ships coming and going, only pirate ships that show up from time to time, and the flags they fly can prove their identity.

Of course, they can also be merchant ships when needed.

The pirates had no intention of traveling with Asul. They were like headless flies, crashing into the territorial waters of the Asur fleet due to their limited vision. When they saw the huge silhouettes of the dragon ship and the eagle ship, the rational pirates hurriedly Withdrew.

Lothern, Phoenix King's Court.

The princes and advisors on the council discussed the great victory at sea. From time to time, a messenger would respectfully enter the palace to convey the news from the expedition fleet to the nobles and the Elf King.

The development of things was not consistent with the nobles' expectations.

"The magic swordsman Tigris rejected the visit request from Lustria without authorization?"

The prince of Tyran Lok twisted the meaning of the courier's words, and the Phoenix King's mage advisor refuted the prince's ideas.

"No, the residents of Lustria are still practicing the theory of the ancient saints. Unless permission is obtained, elves cannot initiate large-scale communications with lizardmen in private."

Many princes of the kingdom discussed strategies with each other in disappointment. They desperately needed to open Lustria's trade channels.

Avalon sent a rare envoy to attend the meeting. There is no doubt that the princes' blatant defiance of the Ever Queen's prohibition angered the Lord of Avalon.

Although the ministers of Cosqui, Itain, Saffre and Tyron Locke have different purposes, they are also eager to communicate with Lustria.

The Kingdom of Yris chose neutrality, and the prince traveled among the countries to ease the tense atmosphere.

The Kingdom of Charis and the Kingdom of Caledor gave up the discussion. Lustria's envoys had little to do with them. They were more concerned about the changes on Ulthuan.

Nagaryth had no attendees, so it was considered an abstention.

Phoenix King Fenuba listened quietly to the discussions of the ministers and grasped the desires of each elf.

After the princes politely asked away the Avalon ambassador, the Phoenix King once again drafted an order.

Fenuba just needs to maintain a good relationship with the cold-blooded species. Maybe there won't be too huge benefits in the short term, but this is a long-term deal.

They are both from an ancient race, and are friends of Teclis, the Archmage of the White Tower of Sapphire, and comrades who fight side by side with the expeditionary forces of all nations.

Guests of Lustria have the right to enter and leave Lothern freely without having to be trapped in the special zone like dwarves, humans and other races.

Dwarves are also an ancient race, but the Assur nobles tacitly ignored this small omission.

In the vast ocean, within just a few days, Lynch received nearly a hundred hints from Ulthuan.

The Phoenix Court seemed to be afraid that the cold-blooded species would just pass by Lothern without stopping.

Teclis imitated it in style, showing the anxious posture of the courier during magical exchanges.

He almost made Lynch laugh. This was an emotion that cold-blooded people had almost forgotten.

Finally, Lynch planned to stop by to observe Assur's triumphal ceremony.

If Ulthuan is suitable for cold-blooded species to stay, the Thoros Legion can temporarily stay in Ulthuan.

Of course, don't let him participate in Assur's palace politics. Elves are keen on power and conspiracy, and cold-blooded people have no interest in this at all.

He needs to find a reliable noble, and perhaps Prince Yris is a good choice. The Kingdom of Yris is trapped by the tide of magic, and demons often appear in the fog that envelopes the country.

Cold-blooded species are good at dealing with demons, they are old enemies.
