Chapter 840, High Elf War Council

The hometown of the high elves, Ulthuan, the kingdom of Etain, and the high elf capital of Lothern.

After many years, another war meeting was held at the Phoenix Court.

The most important high elven lords present at the meeting were:

Tyrion, the war lord of the High Elf War Council and the chosen champion of the Eternal Queen.

High Mage Teclis of the Council of Magisters in the White Tower of Hoth.

The Second Archmage of the Council of Magisters of the White Tower of Hoth, Berannar - the wise one.

High Elf Prince Imric of Caledor.

Eltharion, the High Elf Prince Yris, the Grim One.

Cohir, captain of the Phoenix King's personal White Lion Guard.

High Elf Sea Lord (Navy Commander-in-Chief) Aislin.

The chief maid of the Sisters of Avalon, Estrona.

What is very interesting to say is that among the key figures of the high elves present at the meeting, Cohir, who is the weakest, has the strength of an intermediate level in the holy realm.

Contrary to imagination, Fenubar, the Phoenix King, did not attend this meeting. The Phoenix King granted full war power to Tyrion, the war lord he appointed.

There is nothing surprising about this. In terms of high-elf history, Fenubar is an "alien".

This One Piece King is a very rare high elf who is neither good at military nor magic, and his personal martial arts is not outstanding. The only one who has made great achievements in domestic affairs and diplomacy is the Phoenix King. Finuba's talents and personal abilities He is not outstanding among the high elf lords, so Fenubar always only makes decisions that are "in line with common sense" and "very necessary". The Phoenix King never leads a personal expedition. This matter has always been left to Tyrion. On behalf of me, however, Fenubar’s personal charm is unquestionable. Tyrion, Eltharion and others are also Fenubar’s childhood friends. Even the Dwarf High King Thorgrim thinks that compared with other pointed ears, It is said that Fenuba is a guy who can speak human language and knows how to communicate.

"Where's Kazoin?" Tyrion looked around, but he didn't see Kazuoin, the captain of the Phoenix Guard - the Anointed One.

"When the undead pirates attacked, the Phoenix Guards of the Asurayan Sun Temple on Fire Island attacked, just like before." Teclis still had the same dead fish eyes and a voice without any emotion, and the Supreme Mage remained as usual. Calm: "The best reply is to attack. Kadron will not come."

"Well, that's good. I don't want to see his dull expression and that stinky face, and have to work hard to decipher what he wants to express from his sign language." Prince Imrik of Caledor raised his chin , said boredly: "So, can we start? Are we just wasting time here?"

Tyrion glanced at Imric. This Prince of Caledor was famous throughout Ulthuan for his arrogance and talent. As the last descendant of the Caledor family of the third generation Phoenix King, Imric Since taking the throne, he has tried his best to revive the greatest Caledor Kingdom in the past. He summoned all the Caledor dragon princes, awakened the ancient dragons, and ordered the high-precision blacksmiths to rekindle the Anvil of Vaal. The flames began to forge weapons and reorganized the Caledor army. The Caledor Kingdom reorganized fifty legions with an army of approximately 50,000 people, although this was less than one-third of the army at the peak of the Caledor Kingdom. But it is already the largest army in the entire ten kingdoms of Ulthuan.

Obviously, Imric is committed to bringing the glory of his ancestors back to the Kingdom of Caledor, and he is willing to pay any price for it. It is said that Imric is currently planning to find a lost Caledor artifact-Yser Rama Silver Dragon Horn, that thing is said to be wandering in the Eight Peaks Mountain of the dwarves. With the news of the victory of the Eight Peaks Mountain Expedition, Imric has wanted to go to the old world to find the dragon horn more than once. If necessary, Destroy all who resist, no matter the cost, if necessary.

At the same time, Imric was one of the very few people in the War Council who did not respect Tyrion's authority at all.

"Let me explain the situation." White Lion Captain Cohill came up first to describe the situation. As a close friend of the Phoenix King and captain of the personal guard, he is a very strong man with a unique sense of vigilance and delicacy: "Approximately A few days ago, undead pirates attacked the ports of Tyronlock and Itain. We don't know how the other party got past the magic barriers and countless reefs we set up, but these undead pirates did successfully attack two small ports. The Thrul quickly evacuated, but the two small ports were plundered and burned to ashes, and the undead pirates even tried to attack Tyranrok's main city."

"The Tyranlock army led by Princess Adira and the Flame Guards of Kazoin attacked and repelled the invading undead."

"But intelligence shows that more undead pirate fleets are gathering, and the undead pirates have begun to plunder our merchant ships trading with the Old World in large numbers. They have attacked our trade routes along the way, and three merchant ships have been destroyed. If we don't do something, What, there will be more similar things in the future." Sea Lord Aislin said, as the commander-in-chief of the high-level navy, he always has the right to say: "The maritime trade route cannot be cut off."

"I'm surprised that Tyran Loch and the Lothern Sea Guards didn't kill all the enemies?" Imrik continued: "This is not like Asur, or is it that the Asur of these two kingdoms have been trashed? Do you need to place yourself under Caledor’s protection?”

"The undead pirates are well prepared. According to the local militia, the undead pirates' flagship is three thousand meters long, carrying dozens of undead legions, carrying a large number of artillery and many giant undead creatures." The Ruthless Elsharion did not Heeding Imric's words, he emphasized: "Resisting and attacking rashly will only lead to unnecessary sacrifices due to failure in judgment. Assur is never afraid of war, but he will not send his people to death."

"Three thousand meters long? A lot of artillery?" Tyrion frowned, and the war lord turned his attention to Sea Lord Aislin. The largest dragon ship of this highly skilled naval commander was only more than two hundred meters long: "Very good, Aislin, send a fleet to send me and our army to the lair of these undead. I will personally kill these undead bastards."

"Sorry, Lord Tyrion, I don't think I can do it." Aislin said simply.

"Can't do it?" Tyrion raised his head, and displeasure quickly appeared on the War Lord's face. He just tried to make his expression less angry: "Aisling, tell me the reason, otherwise I will find someone Someone who can do it comes."

"The Black Ark of the Dark Elves and the dragon ships of the northern barbarians are constantly harassing our north. We have to send our main fleet to defend the northern coast of Ulthuan, especially Nagareth and the Desolate Islands." Sea Lord Aislin pointed his finger. He clicked on the northern part of Ulthuan's three-dimensional magic image: "The main fleet must not move. I don't think the war lord will allow the dark elves or northern barbarians to approach the Sword Altar of Kane."

"Yes, but this is exactly why we must deal with the undead pirates." Tyrion emphasized: "We don't need to mobilize our huge fleet, we only need a few fast ships, my Silver Helmet Knights and a small number of soldiers , just follow me and let me take people to board the undead flagship. We all know the virtues of Nagash and his undead bastards. All you need to do is get rid of the other party's leader and leave it to me."

"Your Excellency Tyrion, this may not be the optimal solution." The Second Archmage of the Council of Magisters of White Tower of Hoth, Belannar-the Wise One, spoke: "Before thinking about solutions, we must first estimate the costs and possible changes. .”

"Change?" Tyrion was a little irritable, but miraculously he did not get angry. Belannar-the Wise One is both Teclis' mentor and his best friend. This second archmage is a true wise man. He will not speak without reason: "Holding weapons and marching to the beat of drums and songs, there is no enemy I can't deal with."

"Prince Yelian thought like you at the beginning. He wanted to break into the lair of the undead pirates and solve everything once and for all." Bellannar's words were full of wisdom: "That was another big whirlpool, swept away by the wind of magic. Fill the place, Lord War Lord."

Tyrion immediately realized something: "Ship Burial Cemetery?"

"That's right, if we can't assemble a large enough fleet, we won't even be able to get close to the cursed sea area. This is what Marcelan told me." Sea Lord Aislin elaborated on a fact: "But currently our navy Prioritize the threat from the north."

Tyrion reluctantly listened to Aislin's opinion. The high-elf fleet is still the most powerful fleet in the world, but now the high-elf fleet is no longer able to dominate the entire ocean like it was in the heyday of the elven empire. They can also defeat Any enemy that attempts to attack Ulthuan cannot fight on two battlefields at the same time.

The war lord was a little impatient, and he immediately said: "Very well, here comes the problem. Tyran Locke and Itain cannot save themselves. The entire coast of Ulthuan may become a battlefield between us and the undead, our lifeline." Will be cut off, and we have the most powerful navy in the world and we can do nothing about it?”

"Lifeline? Don't think that I don't know what you are talking about. Our War Lord, I think you are talking about trade routes. Don't think that we don't know. Your Thai brothers trading company is very good at doing business." Rick said sarcastically: "The Caledonians never act like this."

"Is it that Caledor doesn't belong to Ulthuan? Or do you think that the trade routes that keep Ulthuan and the Phoenix Court financially healthy, profitable, and access goods and raw materials from all over the world are not for Assur? Meaningful?" Tyrion immediately retorted.

"Perhaps the income is indeed very good, but do we have any other options now?" Imrik retorted: "Did the War Lord personally go to the burial ship cemetery? It's really art. Maybe your deeds can be engraved on the Griffin Gate. above."

"Can't you separate a fleet? Lord Aislin?" Eltharion-The Grim said coldly. He had no intention of joining Tyrion and Imric's quarrel.

"No." Aislin said directly: "It has been proven by Prince Yelian to be an extremely dangerous place. The small fleet can only add fertilizer to the undead."

"Very well, what about mercenaries?" Elsharion continued: "Pay money to hire an army?"

"Who to hire? The Norscan dragon ships in the north? The black arks of my cousins? Or hire a Slann Demon Toad and let them perform a sea-parting show?" Imrik continued: "Don't doubt my love for Assur. Position, Prince Yris!"

The War Council was mired in quarrels, and a high-minded court was never without intrigue, partisanship, and political strife.

The Supreme Mage Teclis has long been used to it. He simply closed his dead fish eyes and rested his mind.

Before closing his eyes, Teclis noticed that the Eternal Queen's chief maid, Esdrana, also closed her eyes to meditate, and stood behind Tyrion to express unconditional support.

Teclis suddenly felt that Tyrion and Ryan were quite similar.

Both men have noble blood. There is no doubt that Ryan is a descendant of the true god, and is most likely the first generation descendant, while Tyrion is also a descendant of the noble blood of the defender Alario.

Neither of them were originally the legitimate heirs of their respective kingdoms, but they both actually controlled the highest power through devious means. Tyrion controlled Ulthuan as Ulthuan's defender and war lord, while Lion obtained it through marriage. to gain the right to inherit the throne, and then complete control of the Kingdom of Knights by recapturing Mousilon.

Both Ulthuan and Britannia are actually dual political structures. The actual controller of Ulthuan is the eternal queen Alarielle, and Alarielle and Tyrion are lovers. Britta Nia's actual controller is the goddess Lilith, and Lilith and Ryan are also lovers.

Alarielle's spokesperson is the chief maid Isdrona, who has a close lover relationship with Tyrion. Lilith's spokesperson is the Lake God Witch Morgiana, who also has a close lover relationship with Ryan.

Tyrion's method of getting Alarielle to agree with him was sleeping clothes, and Ryan's method of getting Lilith to agree was almost the same way.

Tyrion likes melee combat the most, and so does Lion.

Teclis nodded with satisfaction.

Tyrion Lane says it’s true! Q.E.D!

When everyone was almost noisy, Tigris spoke slowly: "There is also a navy, the navy of our allies."

"Monkey?" Imrik responded the fastest.

"Yes."

"Monkey? Sampan? Pinball game?" Prince Caledor laughed dumbly: "We all remember the red pirate incident? The monkeys' fishing boats are really vulnerable."

(Note: The Red Pirates Incident occurred when the notorious Red Pirates of Marienburg were plundering at sea. They miraculously passed through the magical mist of Ulthuan with good luck and plundered a castle on the coast of Ulthuan. Port town, and then returned to Marienburg full of loot. Sea Lord Aislin decided to teach mankind an unforgettable lesson, so he chose to let the red pirates escape but followed them all the way to Marienburg. After burning half of the city of Marienburg and He left after taking back all the loot.)

"I'm not talking about the imperial fleet." Teclis said calmly: "Britannia, the Kingdom of Knights."

"Stupid thing, he and the Knight of the Gold Cup are pretty decent." Imrik suddenly remembered what happened decades ago. He and the newly crowned Knight King Richard worked together to snipe the beastmen on the outskirts of Kurona. Frenzy: "It's just stupid stuff."

At that time, Imric was deeply impressed by Richard's bravery and the performance of the Holy Grail Knights, especially because Richard kept robbing him of monster kills, which directly caused Imric to remember the King of Knights and give him stupid evaluation of.

"They have a Poseidon fleet, and they are equipped with ironclads, dwarves, ironclads." Tigris continued.

"..." The high-elf war lords temporarily stopped their discussion.

Although they are unwilling to admit it in their hearts, the high elf lords know how powerful the dwarves' armored ships are in Haimen Pass. The two sides once reached a brief alliance (a few weeks) to deal with a big green-skinned waaagh in the Badlands! .

"Ironclad ship? Human monkey? Why do you care so much about the outside world? Brother!" Tyrion said displeasedly towards Tigris: "What is it that makes you so nostalgic?"

"Then why don't you care? Brother!" Teclis asked in turn. As a twin brother, he already knew what Tyrion meant. He continued directly: "Brother, you come to protect Ulthuan. , and I, have come to help Ulthuan seek help and more power."

"Very good. When you seek allies for Ulthuan, I will ensure that you have a home to return to!" Tyrion agreed. The twin brothers reached a consensus in an instant. No one even reacted to this matter. The tone of the matter has already been set.

Teclis slowly walked out of the Phoenix King's Court.

Lilith, the first step of your plan has been completed.

The next step is to invite Lion to visit Ulthuan.
