Chapter 1189, Elsharion’s Request for Help

PS: In the new year, the emperor is here to wish everyone a happy New Year!

Eltharion the Grim, Prince Yerys, a hero known far and wide among the high elves.

Princess Adira, the princess of the Tyranlok Kingdom, the commander of the high elf Tyranlok's chariot army, the war lord and the most trusted assistant and female courtier of the new regent Tyrion.

Berannar the Wise, the Second Archmage of the White Tower of Hoth, Teclis' former mentor, and the most powerful mage among the high elves after Teclis.

These three high-spirited heroes failed to rescue the little queen last time, and now they are making a comeback.

Eltharion's face is still as absolutely cold as before. The guardian of Yris has not shown other expressions for a long time. Something called duty and belief binds him, and there is huge pressure. He faces His best friend promised that he would rescue the little queen this time, but Eltharion knew that compared to the last time he rescued the little queen, the quality and quantity of the highly skilled troops and heroes who came this time had declined.

On the contrary, the undead are still as powerful as ever.

Therefore, on the ship coming to the old world, Elsarion, Belannar, and Adira discussed for a long time, and they were forced to reach a consensus--even though the monkey's army was not up to standard in terms of quality and equipment, But at this time Asul has no other choice and must seek human support, otherwise rescuing the little queen will become an impossible task.

So whose support should you seek?

In fact, there is no choice. There are only two human countries in the old world that can be called "helpers", namely the Empire and Britannia. The high elves and the Empire have an old friendship, and because of Teclis, High Elves and Lion are also familiar and have good reviews (especially the monkeys who can fight).

After spending much more time than expected to arrive in Britannia, Elsarion and others were surprised to find that when the whole world was at war with each other, Britannia actually maintained a stable state. This is a rare peace. They arrived in autumn. The high elves thought that this place would be full of corruption, beastmen were raging, and demons would appear from time to time to kill mortals. However, the civilians here did not seem to be threatened by much war. They were Intoxicated by the harvest, even after the harvest, many serfs were sitting on the field ridges, drinking, bragging, barbecuing and telling stories. Vendors set up stalls everywhere, and children ran and played in the fields.

If towns and armies everywhere were not in a state of semi-martial patrol, the high elves might really doubt whether the end has really come.

Of course, the high elves will definitely not come up directly to express that they need help. This would be too embarrassing. Therefore, although Elsharion is very anxious, both Belannar and Adira believe that we should not rush to see Ryan. We Asu Erke has never begged anyone in a low voice.

At this time, the existence of Talleyrand becomes extremely important. This close minister and favorite of the Sun King will become a bridge of testing and communication.

Talleyrand deliberately wanted to show off the luxurious facilities in his castle and estate. He had a castle with a caretaker's residence, stables, tool rooms, dovecotes, chicken coops, a Charismatic cowshed, and an approx. 17 acres of gardens, 188 acres of woods, 7 acres of pasture, 4 acres of vineyards, 15 acres of arable land, 7 farms, 2 mills and 1 private hotel.

But Elsharion and others were not interested: "Have you responded to King Ryan? Our Assur's request?"

This damn prison boss! Talleyrand had a smile on his face: "Yes, I have already communicated with His Majesty Lane about this issue. Unfortunately, there is good news and bad news here."

"Good news and bad news? We don't have time to play charades with you, Charis." Princess Adira still looked domineering, and she was a little impatient.

"The good news is that we have received news that the Lich King Arkhan and his undead army are approaching Britannia." Talleyrand nodded, the lame man was leaning on a cane, and he was even smiling: "In this way, your Excellencies, The difficulty of rescuing Alisara is reduced by half.”

"The bad news is that for defense, the entire Kingdom of Knights will be mobilized." Talleyrand tried to sit down: "In this case..."

"Stand here! Talleyrand! You have no right to sit down!" Princess Adira said angrily.

How dare you sit down even if our affairs are not done well?

"This is my home, my princess. I can do whatever I want and leave whenever I want." Talleyrand ignored Princess Adira's warning. The cripple smiled like a flower: "This is the Sun King." The power given to me is not the Phoenix King, please understand."

"you?!"

"Perhaps Sir Tyrion can teach you what diplomatic rhetoric is?" Talleyrand took an apple from the side and took a bite. The Sun King's foreign minister relaxed and leaned back on the soft chair: "In fact, I don't think threats will have much effect. You are here to save Her Royal Highness Alisara, not to make me angry. Am I right?"

"What's the reward for your betrayal of Asul?" Elsarion asked coldly: "Given your position, what is the price? If you work as a lackey for Ryan, how much will he give you? We Assur can give you double."

"You are slandering my dignity, His Excellency Prince Iris." Talleyrand leaned on the ground with his crutch and tapped it a few times: "It is the condescending tone of you Assur nobles that makes me If I choose to run away, I can get respect in front of His Majesty. This is what I have earned for myself. I have gained respect in front of you, but this is what you gave me as charity. This is the difference."

"Difference? Dignity? You don't deserve dignity, you scoundrel." Princess Adila scolded: "A complete scoundrel. Asul raised you, but you brought your intelligence and talent to humans."

"I never wanted to betray Assur, but your crude division cannot solve any problem." Talleyrand was slightly dissatisfied, but only slightly: "You blindly label me based on nationality and race. Then you should go to Nagaros and ask the Witch King, or ask our forest friends, tell the Witch King and the Forest King, you two scoundrels! Well, that’s right, scoundrels! See if the problem can be solved , I must admit that you still have a lot to learn from Lord Teclis. If you do this, constantly divide us, you, and then knock us down, it will only make your friends fewer and fewer. Oh, I almost forgot, even if For you, there is no 'us' either."

"You!" Princess Adila flushed with anger.

"That's enough." Seeing that the topic was getting more and more tense, the wise Béranal finally spoke, and the old Second Archmage continued: "Do your best, Talleyrand, to convince His Majesty Lane, if he can't To set out in person, you must provide at least an army of more than 5,000 people, and preferably a strong commander from the sanctuary. Of course, we have prepared 10,000 gold Sovlin as reward, and fifty boxes of gifts. Please also He must accept it.”

"I will do my best." Talleyrand nodded.

Elsarion and others left. Talleyrand sat in his chair, playing with his Charis lion head crutch inlaid with gold, diamonds, jewels, agate, silver and vibranium. The high-spirited lame man chuckled. Laughed a few times.

"That's it, I don't want to stay in Ulthuan."

After thinking carefully for a few minutes, Talleyrand shouted outside: "Here comes someone!"

"Master?" Several young and beautiful Estalia beauties walked in from outside wearing maid outfits.

"Prepare the car, I'm going to the Palace of Fontainebleau for an audience, now."

"yes!"

"He is a villain, a despicable villain." The trio of high spirits left Talleyrand's manor castle in the dark night. Princess Adilla said angrily and disdainfully: "Such a villain can actually live in With such a high position, it can be seen that the Sun King’s vision is really not that good.”

"That's the kind of person he is." Elsarion said coldly, no one knew who he was talking about.

"We have worked hard on the Knight Kingdom. Next is the Empire. Whether it is Nuer or Brunswick, they all have the elite troops we need. The Empire and the undead have a natural and irresolvable hatred." The wise man Berannar said calmly: "I am almost certain that we can get the help we want from the empire."

"We don't need this kind of help. With the power of Asur, we could have wiped out Sylvania. The sword master, ranger and shadow warrior will hunt down every vampire that still exists. No undead can escape the law." .This will be the day when the vampire race will be exterminated. As for the dwarves, the relationship between us will be slightly restored. Maybe the High King will agree to our request to return the Phoenix Crown." Princess Adira was helpless: "But now it is absolutely impossible. Most of the army must stay in Ulthuan, under the leadership of the High Lord, to fight against the Chaos Demons and guard the peace of Ulthuan."

"And this is the problem. We only have more than a thousand people, and we must need the help of humans, as well as dwarves." Berannar nodded.

"Set to Marienburg, and then Brunswick. Karl Franz will provide us with the troops we need. He owes Assur." Elsarion said coldly: "As for King Ryan's army , I believe they will join us there at that time.”

"Let's go, we can't wait any longer."

"yes."

The high elves came from the sea and went back from the sea.

…………I am the dividing line on which the sun never sets on the Elf Empire……

Taking advantage of the darkness, Talleyrand's carriage was quickly released under the inspection of the Old Guard. The cripple, leaning on a cane, headed to the Oval Courtyard to meet with Ryan under the guidance of his attendants.

The courtyard was very quiet. Talleyrand swallowed a little and stood at the door, thinking about what to say.

The door opened, and Morgiana, the Lake God Witch, walked out. Today, the Lake God Witch was wearing a rainbow pink butterfly Brittania pastoral velvet dress, paired with white lace stockings and pink back-buckle rhinestone high heels, and gold Her hair spread over her shoulders, and her beautiful face was covered with exquisite makeup. Morgiana originally had a joyful smile on her face, but when she saw Talleyrand standing at the door, the Lake God Witch's smile disappeared instantly, and she frowned. , and at the same time, he stretched out his hand to hold his low neckline somewhat unnaturally, and said displeasedly: "What are you doing here?"

Talleyrand lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at Morgiana. The Foreign Minister could only lower his head and look at Morgiana's pink high heels and the pink insteps wrapped in ultra-thin white lace crystal stockings: "I have something urgent. It is very urgent to inform His Majesty.”

"Oh!" Morgiana noticed Talleyrand looking at her silk feet and took a step back unnaturally. She usually wouldn't dress so colorfully in front of others, but today was different. Ryan had been in seclusion for several months. She had been owed her for many days. She couldn't bear it today and wanted Ryan to "check" and "fix" it. The Lake God Witch simply said: "Then go in, he is inside."

"Yes." Talleyrand breathed a sigh of relief. The lame man naturally knew the relationship between Ryan and Morgiana. He smiled and said, "Madam, maybe you can listen to me."

"Oh? What do you want to say?" Morgiana stopped when she saw this.

"During this period, you can have a good discussion with His Majesty on how to deal with the undead." Talleyrand said with a smile: "There is a quiet place in my manor. I plan to invite you, Your Majesty, and the Queen to visit. What do you think about a few days of rest?"

"I'm afraid he won't agree." Morgiana's eyes lit up. There were too many people in the Fontainebleau Palace. Any place other than the chapel was really not suitable for dating Ryan. It would be too easy to be discovered and disturbed, and the chapel was a week away. Only open for one day.

In the past, Olika helped look after the wind, but now the head maid Sylvia is a rigid and serious person. She doesn't know how to do this kind of thing, and she can't do it.

"Leave it to me, madam." Talleyrand said with a smile, "Just wait for the good news."

"...You are capable. Serve Ryan well." Morgiana suddenly turned cloudy and the Lake God Witch smiled again. She patted Talleyrand on the shoulder and went out. She was ready to personally help Ryan and Su Leah makes dinner.

Even a servant has the right to choose his master, Talleyrand thought.

The door opened, Ryan and Sulia sat working together, Sylvia stood beside him, the thick parchment roll almost covered Ryan's body, and the Sun King didn't even raise his head: "Talleyrand, What's the matter? You have to come in so late, it must be urgent."

"People from Ulthuan have come, and they have brought their army, my lord." Talleyrand limped closer on crutches, and he said helplessly: "They didn't come to you, but they came to me. Many... requests were made to me, and as soon as I heard them, I came over quickly to report to you."

"Report?" Ryan raised his head: "What happened to our high-altitude friends?"

"It's the same thing about the little queen last time. Your Majesty, you know that the last operation to rescue the little queen failed." Talleyrand handed a piece of white paper with high elf writing on it to Ryan's hand and bowed: "They are here again, to rescue the little queen."

"How did you talk with them?" Ryan couldn't help but twitching at the arrogant wording.

"It is a pity that no matter it is Lord Elsarion, Lord Adira or the famous wise Lord Belannar, these great names do not have any courtesy and respect. They require you to lead the troops in person and lead your close relatives. The Guards and your Royal Legion personally went to Sylvania in order to rescue Alishara." Talleyrand considered his tone, making himself sound like a victim and aggrieved: "In the process , they also questioned whether I was Asul."

"Did you anger them?" Ryan didn't care. The original body handed the letter to his wife. Sulia only took a look at it and immediately frowned.

"No, Your Majesty. Fortunately, they are still sensible." Talleyrand said with a smile: "I managed to persuade them to lower their conditions. I told them that Your Majesty would never do this anyway. They could only compromise, but …Still arrogant.”

"This condition has not been lowered much." Lane complained, but he still affirmed Talleyrand's contribution: "In any case, thank you for your communication. I will bring this issue to the Supreme Command and discuss it together."

"Your Majesty, you must not be grateful to me. You know that you and I will always stand together." Talleyrand bowed again: "I will always be your loyal servant."

Ryan took the parchment, wrote a few lines, and then fired lightning from his fingertips, imprinting a Gray Knight pattern on the parchment: "Send this letter to Nur, Talleyrand, immediately."

"Understood, my lord."

"Wait, there's this!" Ryan took out a string of rosary beads shining with pure spiritual energy from the table: "Give this to Elsharion."

"Nagash must be prevented from resurrecting! Otherwise the undead will sweep the world."
