Doral raised three fingers and followed them one by one.
"The first type, the Haemonculus, comes from the Grand Master of the Haemonculi, Urian Racat, the second type, the Nightmare, comes from the Nightmare Archbishop Zardela, and the third type, the Harlequin, comes from the Veilwalker Hillandre. These three
Only personal acquiescence allowed Victor to sit firmly on the high platform... In other words, to overthrow him, we must change the attitudes of these three people, or directly intimidate them. No matter the former or the latter, it is difficult. I
I can’t think of anyone who can do it, except you, Your Highness.”
Soshyan thought for a moment, then nodded.
"I understand, I will take this matter to heart."
After speaking, he hesitated for a moment and whispered to Doral:
"Dolar, there is something I want to hear your opinion on."
"Your Highness, please speak."
"Do you think...there will be a conflict between the Royal Court and the Empire in the future?"
Doral thought for a moment, then smiled slightly.
"If we are to be honest, there will be constant disputes within even one race, let alone different races? But it all still depends on how you, Your Highness, view your own identity. In fact, this matter is not complex at all."
"How to say?"
"Whether it is between countries or between tribes, the essence of conflict is differences in interests. History, honor, and hatred are all factors, but if the interests are large enough, humans and Ada will also choose to unite.
Isn't it? There are actually many such examples. Even if humans no longer trust Ada, even if Ada no longer despises humans, once the core interests of both parties overlap, such as survival, then history, honor, and hatred will all give way.
Reality... Even the Astartes, who hate the most foreign races, sometimes have to cooperate with Ada. This requires Your Highness to weigh the interests of both parties and find common ground. I believe that with His Highness's wisdom
It should be possible.”
"It's difficult to handle. I feel like I can't control any party."
"So what bothers you, Your Highness, is not the conflict between the two clans, but your inability to control the actions of the two clans, right?"
Soshiyang opened his mouth slightly, wanting to defend himself, but found that what he just said was indeed true, so he shook his head with a wry smile.
"I'm not that ambitious, just take it one step at a time."
At this time Doral mentioned another thing.
"Your Highness, regarding Evelene..."
"Efrene? What happened to her?"
"Considering His Majesty's friendship with that person, I plan to discuss this matter with His Majesty first. When I talked with the Shadow Daughter before, she often revealed the idea of hoping that all Ada would embark on the Seventh Path, but the so-called one
The country is in dire straits to accommodate the two kings. Has Your Highness ever considered that if the Death Army really grows in size, will the influence of the Royal Court decline? Will the number of people willing to join His Majesty's service also decrease?"
Soshyan walked slowly to the shade of a big tree with his hands behind his back, and then turned to Doral.
"Ephrene and Veronica have a great relationship."
"For now, she is, but she has never expressed her willingness to become His Majesty's subject."
After a moment of silence, Soshyan sighed softly.
"Doral, what do you think?"
"Well, although no action is needed now, at least we need to know where she is, what she is going to do, and how many Adas have joined her."
"You mean, send someone to monitor..."
"Yes."
Suoshiyang's face was as calm as water. After thinking for a long time, he nodded.
"Then you go ahead and do it, but don't tell Madam about it first."
"yes."
At this time, Soshyan suddenly caught a glimpse of a vague figure standing in the shadow of the parapet, and said:
"You go and do your work first."
Doral also seemed to feel that an outsider was intruding, so he nodded, turned around and left silently, and glanced at the dark figure before leaving.
"Master Mo Ganla, good morning."
Under Soshiyan's smiling gaze, the Dark Death Phoenix Lord stepped out of the shadows.
After choosing to follow the Eternal King's Court, Veronica gave Mo Ganla the position of Master of Martial Arts. This was one of the few male positions in the ancient empire that could freely enter and leave the Queen's inner court. His main responsibility was to assist in training the Queen's Guards.
Mo Ganla silently came to three meters in front of Soshyan, then stopped, glanced at the Yangyan Sword at his waist, and hissed:
"I heard that you performed well in court."
Soshyan chuckled.
"I didn't actually do anything."
"If you can keep silently supporting Her Majesty the Queen like this, then I can barely turn a blind eye to your identity."
"Haha, that's really gratifying, but I guess the martial arts master didn't come to me just to chat and express his opinions on me at this time, right?"
After a moment of silence, Mo Ganla, who was almost integrated with the shadow under the shade of the tree, suddenly whispered:
"Do you know that one?"
"that one?"
Soshyan didn't react at all.
Then the other party added.
"The Nightmare Bishop named Drazal."
Soshiyang nodded in realization, and then he remembered that Veronica had once chatted with him on the bed about some anecdotes about the Phoenix Lords, one of which involved the supposedly fallen former Assault Scorpion Phoenix Lord Ahra.
Ahla, the "Scorpion Father", established the Shrine of the Assault Scorpion Tribe, which embodies the dark nature of its founder - cunning, cruel and deadly.
Ahra taught his Aspect Warriors the ability to stalk in the shadows, allowing the Assault Scorpions to slowly and silently approach their prey, then descend upon them like the wrath of Khaine himself.
But in the end, Ahra's ferocious nature consumed him, and he turned his back on his tribe and the First Phoenix, Asulman, as well as the other Phoenix Lords, bringing the demon into the First Shrine and launching a war against his companions.
Although those loyal to Asulman were defeated by the demons and scattered among the stars, Ahla herself was defeated at the hands of Asulman and eventually escaped into the webway, becoming a "burning dark light of chaos".
Fallen Phoenix".
Veronica also told a rumor that Ahela fled into Commorragh after her failure and became the founder of the Nightmare, and even transformed into the current Nightmare Archbishop Drazal.
However, the two do not match up in terms of time, because Drazal did not appear until a long time after the establishment of the Nightmare Shrine, so this statement has always been at the level of rumors without any real evidence.
"Speaking of it, I do have some connections with that nightmare bishop."
After thinking for a moment, Soshyan recounted his first encounter with the nightmare bishop at Armageddon, and then talked about what happened in Commorragh.
After listening, Mo Ganla fell into a long silence.
Finally, a soft sigh came from under his helmet.
"It should... be him."
"Master Mo Ganla, do you have a good relationship with the former Ahla?"
Mo Ganla did not answer, but nodded slightly.
"So when he fell -"
"He will not fall!"
Mo Ganla immediately interrupted Soshyan.
"I know his soul better than anyone else. Maybe he is unsociable, just like me, but he will never surrender to the enemy! In other words, he hates the enemy more than any Phoenix Lord!"
"Then what exactly happened that year?"
The Dark Death Lord shook his head.
"I don't know, because I wasn't there, but... maybe it has something to do with Ahla's philosophy."
"idea?"
Mo Ganla sighed softly and said quietly:
"Ahla and the other companions, and even the Mentor, had deep and acrimonious differences from the beginning. The Mentor preached discipline and prudence to us, and told us that we should slowly rebuild the Eldar civilization around our fellow craftworlders...
