Chapter 874, Date A Live (Part 1)

The Phoenix King's Court was still brightly lit at night. As a war lord, Tyrion did not take a rest. On the contrary, the Eternal Queen's divinely chosen champion, the Dragon of Cosqui, had been fulfilling his duties faithfully since he returned to Lothern. He worked every day. For more than ten hours, he allocated supplies, gathered troops, made overall plans for Ulthuan's defense system, and thought about how to make good use of the elite human army and the two ironclad ships.

From this point of view alone, Tyrion can be described as a real model worker. Even Tigris does not work as hard as him. Phoenix King Fenuba is even more busy preparing for sacrificial activities. Every day, the Phoenix King has to spare two from the afternoon. Hours to prepare for a large-scale sacrificial ceremony, two hours!

The entire burden of Ulthuan falls on the shoulders of Tyrion and Teclis. The guardians of Ulthuan are destined to carry Ulthuan on their shoulders. In fact, it is not Tyrion who has the power, but Fennu. Ba's military ability is really appalling. The Phoenix King will only march in person when he has an overwhelming advantage and a sure-win situation. His greatest role is to be like a duck in the rear surrounded by white lion guards. Sitting still with a dull expression, he acts like a mascot.

Everything can only be accomplished by Tyrion, and the Guardian of Ulthuan will never disappoint. He is extremely strict with himself, and he will not rest until he swears to destroy all invading enemies of Ulthuan.

Gorgeous decorations filled the entire courtyard, and the sound of a large whirlpool could be heard in the distance in the quiet night sky. The buildings of the Phoenix Court were almost only white, blue, gold and red. Tyrion stood alone in the meeting of the War Council. In the hall, he looked at the map on the table and thought about something.

At this time, there were footsteps outside, and Arsena Erudite came in quickly under the eyes of the Lothern Sea Guards and the White Lion Guards: "War Lord."

"Arsena, you are here? How is the situation? Did those humans do anything special?" Tyrion did not raise his head, and the Eternal Queen's chosen champion asked in a muffled voice: "And that dark elf?"

"Not yet. They just went to the alien activity area to have a look, and then went shopping." Arsena said with some depression: "The dark elf never showed up."

The high-elf noble briefly talked about some things with Tyrion, and finally he said in a depressed tone: "The Knight King said he wanted to date his wife, so he pushed me away."

"Ha! Dating! Are they doing this too?" Tyrion raised his head. The war lord originally wanted to say that monkeys are really creatures that can go into heat anytime and anywhere, but Tyrion then felt that he was not qualified to say that, so he changed He said in a tone: "There's nothing surprising. The King of Knights looks pretty decent, and his wife is also a beauty. There's nothing wrong with shopping more and spending more. You just need to monitor them closely to see if they have any differences. His intentions, and the dark elf next to him, I always feel that I have seen that dark elf somewhere, so I might as well communicate with them more if I have the opportunity."

"Yes!" Arsena nodded. He hesitated for a moment whether to retreat or not, and the sound of footsteps came again outside the Phoenix King's court.

Prince Yris, Warden of the Kingdom, and Eltharion the Ruthless, wears the high elf rune Ythrama silver full body armor, the helmet of Commander Yris, the sword of Eltharion's fangs hanging from his waist, and the Amulet of Hoth on his chest. , walked quickly from the outside, followed by Princess Adira of Tyranlok. If anyone still remembers, she is Lilith's divine choice and a new member of the Tyrion War Council. She replaced her old Father, came to serve Tyrion. She was also a great beauty, and her armor and crown made her even more heroic.

"Are you ready?" Elsharion never talked nonsense. He quickly walked in from the outside: "Iris is ready."

Tyrion had no reaction after hearing Eltharion's words. The Kingdom of Yris was now in great decline, with only one city left. Eltharion's so-called gathering of troops was really easy. He was the only one to successfully raid. The commander of Nagaris, the capital of the dark elves, has high prestige and powerful strength. He can summon a few legions with just one word.

Yes, that's right, there are only a few legions left in the entire Kingdom of Yris, probably less than 10,000 troops.

"Tyron Locke still needs some time to gather the army." Princess Adila expressed the difficulty: "It will take at least a few weeks."

"At least you have arrived." Tyrion raised his head and glanced at Elsharion and Adira: "That's enough. Others are still on the way. Some even told me that he and his kingdom are encountering many difficulties now. It might take a few years."

"Imrik?" Eltharion said coldly.

"Who else is there besides him?" Tyrion always maintained energy and calmness: "Forget it, let's see how many people can come first, and then formulate a battle plan."

The army of the high elves is roughly composed of two types of armies, namely the compulsory military system and the standing army system. The former is a conscription system with compulsory force, and the latter is a recruitment system with voluntary nature.

The standing army system was established in the era of Butcher King Tesiris. At that time, the high-elf army suffered huge losses in the Battle of Longbeard and could no longer maintain the necessary strength for the war with the dark elves. Therefore, Butcher King Tesiris announced the formation of a standing army and recruited soldiers from civilians. Kingdom army.

The compulsory military system dates back to the era of the reckless King Moville. At that time, the involution of the high elite society was severe, the population dropped significantly, the economy deteriorated, and there were consecutive defeats. The standing army system was no longer able to meet the needs of the high elites to protect their homes and the country. Therefore, Moville A compulsory military system was forcibly established, requiring every Assur to serve for a certain period of time within a year.

The compulsory soldier system finally allowed the high elves to get through the most difficult period, but it was obviously not a system that the Asurs liked. It was obviously for this reason that Movel got the nickname "The Reckless King".

"The soldiers recruited under the compulsory military system are difficult to fight for a long time, especially for the elves." On the brightly lit street, Ryan held Sulia's little hand. The two of them were talking and laughing, and Ryan had a smile on his face. Wearing a mask of a panda fox and holding a bunch of meatballs in his hands, the couple went shopping together and enjoyed a moment of leisure: "The conscripts serve for a limited time each year and come from various elf lords and various manor autonomous organizations. Unless they are attacked on a large scale, Invasion, otherwise it would be almost impossible to muster the conscripts from all of Ulthuan, and it would easily lead to large-scale bankruptcy of the yeomen."

"What about the recruitment system?" Lidya Su also bought a gray-haired dog mask with a red scarf like Ryan. The female knight held her husband's arm and held a box of golden things baked in her hand. Crispy takoyaki, Lidya Su's cheeks turned red as she listened to him talking. They were together, the man was tall and handsome, and the woman was unparalleled in beauty, attracting the attention of countless people along the way.

"The core of the recruitment system is that the Phoenix Court does not issue military pay, but the major kingdoms pay for it themselves. This results in the recruited troops often becoming the kingdom's private army. In this case, the Phoenix Court must assemble the army, and every day Every kingdom has its own abacus, which is the 'Four Don'ts'." Ryan held his wife's hand and smiled: "The road is too far to go, the wilderness is too far, the reward is not enough, and the general is not good enough to go."

"Pfft! Why do I think it's exactly the same as our knight kingdom." Sulia couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering. The female knight gently forked an octopus ball and put it into her mouth. The octopus ball had a delicate texture. , the unique taste made Sulia experience a different exotic customs. The female knight leaned on her husband's shoulder: "It depends on the situation before choosing whether to accept the recruitment."

"We are all fine." Ryan couldn't help but laugh: "At least, we can have an excuse for chivalry war. The knights will also fight bravely because of the temptation of the Holy Grail, but this is not the case for elves. I think It’s not easy to impress the Immortals.”

"That's it, then I don't know. What I know is, Ryan, if you just say a word now, all the principality armies in the entire kingdom will definitely gather and accept your call." Sulia no longer wants to think so much at this time , she gently forked a small octopus ball and brought it to Ryan's mouth: "Want to try it? Ah~"

"Ah~um~" Ryan opened his mouth and bit into the small meatball in one bite. The king tasted the taste of his hometown for a long time and couldn't help but squint his eyes: "It's so delicious. I want another one."

"Look at how greedy you are!" Sulia couldn't help but give Ryan a roll of her eyes, and the female knight crossed her arms again: "Do you want more?"

"Of course!" Ryan nodded.

"Then, open your mouth, ah~" Sulia motioned to her husband to close his eyes: "I'll feed you~"

"Ah~" Ryan closed his eyes and opened his mouth.

"I won't give it to you!" Sulia put the small meatballs to Ryan's mouth and suddenly returned, eating the small meatballs in one bite. The gentle and noble daughter had a rare opportunity to hold something in her mouth and said to Ryan with a red face: " Let you deliberately not take me out~ Let you take Olica with you all day long, let you deliberately ask me to dress like this, let me tell you honestly, are you coaxing Veronica and Morgiana into dressing like this in private? ?Um?"

"Madam, don't change the subject, that's the last one!" Ryan became a little angry: "Damn it, if you don't give me food, I'll buy that shop."

"You can't buy it, my dear~" Lidya Su couldn't help but laugh so hard that she deliberately pulled down her mask, and the face of the gray-haired and red-turbaned puppy faced Ryan: "I'm just an indifferent person. Little dog~little dog~”

"Hahahaha~" The couple couldn't help but laugh together. Lidya Su felt sweet in her heart. She and Ryan seemed to be the only ones on the lively street, and only her husband's figure was with her.

The two walked a few steps, and Ryan, who had been teased by his wife, came back deliberately wanting to take revenge. The King of Knights took a moment to observe the surroundings, and soon his eyes lit up.

It was a shop selling apple candies. It was a special candy that used syrup to cover the whole apple. It was quite popular among the high elves. When Ryan saw this, he pulled Sulia: "Madam, let's go, I'll give it to you." Buy some of that candy and eat it.”

"That kind of candy?" Lidya Su looked at it and asked curiously: "The kind wrapped in apples?"

"Yes, yes, come on, I'll buy it for you!" Ryan deliberately quickened his pace. He took his wife's little hand to hurry up. Lidya Su screamed and quickly stretched out her hand to hold down the hem of her skirt: "Don't be so anxious! Ryan, the store won’t fly away.”

The two people came to the Apple Candy shop. The shop owner smiled and said: "You must be His Majesty the Knight King of Britannia, right? Welcome, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty the Queen."

"Here are two apple candies, and how did you know?" Ryan took out a handful of copper coins and handed them to the boss's hand.

"Hey, you have a coat of arms on your body. There are sword patterns in the book, as well as fleur-de-lis and Holy Grail patterns. This coat of arms is only available to the Knight King family. As we all know, only three members of the Knight King family can use this coat of arms. Personally." The boss handed over two apple candies with a smile on his face: "I have been doing business here for many years, how could I not recognize him?"

"Okay." Ryan took the apple candy, rolled his eyes, and suddenly said to Sulia: "Madam, do you know how to eat this apple candy?"

"How to eat? Uh, licking or biting?" Sulia blushed. A gust of sea breeze blew just now, which almost made the female knight panic. Her mood was a little unstable. She gritted her teeth and stretched out her hand to twist her husband's waist: " Okay, come on, tell me, I won’t be deceived by you!”

"Come on, close your eyes and open your mouth~" Ryan motioned to his wife to open her mouth: "Ah~"

"Ah~" Lidya Su opened her mouth without doubting it.

The next second, Ryan put the whole candy apple directly on Lidya Su's mouth!

"Here you go!" The Knight King wanted to stuff the whole candy apple directly into Sulia's mouth, but because the female knight's mouth was really small and couldn't stuff it in, Ryan could only say unwillingly: "Hey, Madam, My mouth is not open enough~"

"Ryan!!! You guy!" Sulia's lips were stained with candies because of what Ryan did. The female knight became angry and snatched the candy apple from Ryan's hand, and stuffed it directly into Ryan's mouth: " Try it yourself!”

"Uh!" Now it was stuffed in. Ryan's mouth was filled to the brim, and he made a sound of "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu". The King of Knights stepped back again and again, struggling exaggeratedly, and his entire mouth was stuffed with apple candy. It was full, with only the wooden sticks exposed.

Seeing this scene, Lidya Su finally couldn't help it. The queen's noble image was shattered. She couldn't help laughing so loudly that she couldn't stand up straight: "Lian, you are like this, hahahaha~ It's really... haha Haha~ so funny.”

Ryan yelled "Uh huh" for a long time. He held the wooden skewer of the candy apple and pulled it out with a lot of effort. The candy apple was still stuffed in his mouth, with a sweet and sour feeling. It even spread to the nasal cavity. The King of Knights had no choice but to use his spiritual power. He finally took out the whole candy apple from his mouth. The saliva accidentally dripped from the corner of his mouth and onto his clothes, making him miserable.

"It's great to be young." The shop owner smiled awkwardly.

"Since Madam gave it to me, I must finish it!" Ryan didn't look angry at all. He inserted the wooden skewer into the melted apple candy and ate it up in a few mouthfuls. Then he wiped his mouth and reached out to pick up his wife, who was already laughing too hard: "Let's go, ma'am, the main event is next!"

"What's next?" Sulia seemed to feel that it was rude and ungraceful for her to laugh like this. The Queen was very embarrassed: "And... what program?"

"The next show is the most interesting!"
