Chapter 888 The enemy is in the Phoenix Royal Court!
In the conference room inside the cabin, the atmosphere in the entire room was almost frozen.
Tyrion's attitude is very clear. The War Lord has already confirmed that there is an insider, so there must be an insider.
There is no doubt that Bellarian and Sea Lord Aisling are both members of the Tyrion faction. The former has been Tyrion's adjutant for many years, and the latter, like Tyrion, is from the Kingdom of Cosqui. Although both
There wasn't much communication, but there was no doubt that they were of the same faction.
As for the Eternal Queen's chief maid, Isdrona, there is no need to say more.
At this time, Ryan was no longer the young and impulsive knight of the kingdom. The King of Knights couldn't understand why Tyrion said this, but he still nodded and expressed the hope that Tyrion would continue to speak.
But Lidya Su was thinking about the causes and consequences.
What do the high elves want to do?
Are these guys going to throw the blame for this war on our heads? Sulia thought for a while.
The queen thought it was very possible at first. The high elves suffered a lot of losses in the Great Battle of Dragonfjord, and there was internal strife because of it. The current situation is that everyone needs to choose a "suitable person" to take the blame.
Judging from the current situation, it does seem appropriate to throw the pot to Ryan and his group. First of all, Ryan and his group are "outsiders" no matter what, and Tigris once warned Ryan to bring the dwarves and darkness with him.
Elves will only make things worse. Dwarves and dark elves are two of the three things that high elves hate most.
Especially with Orika's existence, it is only natural for Tyrion to use this as an excuse to attack Britannia.
However, Sulia thought about it carefully and felt that it was impossible. If Tyrion put the blame on them so easily and simply, this would be really stupid. He is not worthy of becoming a war lord.
There are two most important reasons. First, Ryan and his gang were proposed by Tigris and Tyrion decided to introduce them. If Ryan and these people are really moles, then what are the Tai brothers? Luring wolves into the house?
Secondly, Ryan has Lilith's endorsement behind him, and coupled with Teclis's influence and guarantee, Tyrion has no reason to take action against "one of his own".
Thinking of this, Sulia already understood in her heart, and the Knight Queen took the initiative to say: "Your Excellency Tyrion, have you discovered anything?"
"Hmm." Tyrion was not aware that his behavior made Sulia think a lot. On the contrary, he said seriously: "I think the results of the military meeting were leaked."
"Leak it out?" Ryan frowned when he heard this. The King of Knights thought about it and whispered: "Your Excellency Tyrion, this joke cannot be made. We all know that except for a very few people in the War Council (
Except for Imric and the Dragon Prince, most of the Elf Princes were chosen by you or Teclis. If the mole is revealed..."
"No, I don't mean that there is a mole in the War Council." Tyrion became more and more sure. He nodded repeatedly and said seriously: "Ryan, Sulia, you can think about it carefully. The long story before
For a while, our war council was in trouble due to various things and Asul's traditions.
It took a long time to formulate a combat plan and strategic objectives. Assuming that there is a spy in the War Council at this time, then the other party should know our defense deployment and hurry up when we mobilize our troops and concentrate the army in Lothern.
It’s better to attack other targets with weak defenses in one fell swoop.”
"But the enemy is not there. Whether it is the undead or our cousins, they are all waiting." Tyrion continued: "And things changed when we learned that the undead and our cousins gathered an army and appeared in the sea off Ulthuan.
, do you still remember? At that time, we held an emergency meeting, and all the elven princes present in Lothern, including His Majesty Fenubar and his entire court, came to the War Council."
"Your Excellency, the War Lord, is right. It was there that we formulated the march route and battle plan." Sea Lord Aislin was also annoyed and angry about the difficulty of this naval battle. He was also the only one who tried to pursue after the battle.
Loxia - the high-elf commander of the Fallen Heart Fleet, but unfortunately
The loss of energy was huge, and Imric could not hand over the command of the Dragon Prince, so he had no choice but to give up. The Sea Lord carefully traced the chart with a pencil and compass, and said: "I am very suspicious, maybe we
After the meeting on the front foot, our plan on the back foot was sent to the cousins' table."
Ryan understood, and he understood what Tyrion meant: "You mean, there is a spy among Fenuba's courtiers and his servants...?"
"Finubar's courtiers come from all the kingdoms in Ulthuan. The identities of many of them have not been thoroughly verified. Of course, we have no decision-making power on how His Majesty the Phoenix King appoints his courtiers. We only have the right to make suggestions, as well as his servants.
Yes." Tyrion nodded, and the war lord thought about everything carefully: "I know Fenuba's habits. He is not good at military affairs, so after seeing our battle plan, he will definitely convene a meeting of the courtiers to discuss, and then everything will be settled.
It happened naturally."
"If there is a mole among the Phoenix King's courtiers, then why is Fenuba fine until now?" Ryan still didn't understand.
"Normally, Finuba and Koshil are always inseparable. And as I said, something unexpected happened that day. The war council was supposed to be meeting to discuss the military situation. Fenuba usually didn't come, so he gave all the power to me. At most, he would take Koshil with him.
We were together, but that day the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse.
Next, he was eager for us to come up with a plan, so he brought the entire courtiers and a group of servants here!" Tyrion was already getting impatient: "I didn't expect this, why can't he just do it right?
Are you staying in the Phoenix King's Court waiting for our triumphant return?"
"..." Ryan said nothing, and at the same time he thought about whether Fenuba could prepare a belt edict.
Lidya Su thought of her previous conflict with Ryan. She held back her smile, thinking that if it hadn't been for that incident before, the relationship between the couple would not have had a real breakthrough and a complete heart-to-heart, right?
"When Fenubar appointed me War Lord, I thought Assur's greatest enemy was our cousin Druchi across the sea! When I drove Druchi completely out of Ulthuan, I thought Chaos was our greatest enemy.
After the maelstrom was stabilized, the monsters on the Anuri Mountains became a worry for us, and now there are undead, greenskins, ratmen and other things."
The more Tyrion spoke, the angrier he became, but he still remained rational: "It is becoming clearer and clearer to me now that the real threat to Assur is not external, but in Lothern, in the Phoenix Court and the war.
Parliament! Among us, the elven princes who only know how to fight among themselves and procrastinate in doing things all day long, and those courtiers who just sit there and pass the news to the dark elves!"
Ryan suddenly thought of something, and he couldn't help but laugh: "But what are you going to do?"
"What else can we do?" Tyrion was already full of energy and stood up: "I want to tell Fenuba that our Phoenix King's Phoenix King's Court is now full of weeds!"
"And how to do it? It's very simple! Return to Lothern, return to the army, and then go hoeing!"
"Only by hoeing away the weeds can I safely march north to protect the Deserted Islands and the Phoenix Gate!"
"The enemy is in the Phoenix Court?" Ryan thought thoughtfully.
Tai Ritian is so poisonous. If you say this, wouldn't Ryan and Sulia be automatically included in his camp?
"That's right, the enemy is in the Phoenix King's Court!"
…………I am the dividing line that burns Fenuba……
After getting out of the Marcelan and returning to the Enterprise, Sulia arranged the guards while leaning next to Ryan and whispered: "What kind of person do you think he is?"
"He is a person who has a real sense of responsibility and wants to do something for Ulthuan." Ryan thought for a while and whispered: "In any case, Tyrion has truly fulfilled his role as the guardian of Ulthuan.
He is worthy of being one of the last blood descendants of Alario, and he has a sense of responsibility and mission to the high elves."
"I know this, and I admire him very much." Lidya Su nodded. After thinking for a while, she decided to continue: "But his behavior...don't you think it's a bit too much?"
"What's too much? Is it military arbitrariness, is it restricting Fenuba's actions, or is he planning to purge his courtiers?" Ryan glanced at Sulia with a half-smile, and the King of Knights obviously thought of something.
"I mean, Ryan, if you had a subordinate like this, have you already dealt with him?" Sulia couldn't help but narrow her sea-blue eyes into crescent moons, and she thought seriously: "But
The situation between you and Finubar is somewhat different. You are simply an all-rounder, top notch in both military and internal affairs and personal bravery. How can I put it this way? I think of the brother you mentioned, the one named Guilliman. Don’t you think so?
Is his background similar to yours?"
"There are a few differences." Ryan shook his head: "First of all, Guilliman does not have so many challenges in Macragge. His world does not have the threats of chaos, greenskins, and undead. Furthermore, he is different from me.
My magic resistance has always been very weak, and it is easy to be attacked by control spells. My magic resistance is probably the highest among all my brothers except my father, but instead, my physical fitness is weaker, but I am not afraid of corruption.
.”
"You won't end up as strong as Brother Angron, right? Then I can't stand it." Sulia said shyly.
"Heh." Ryan narrowed his eyes and looked towards the large whirlpool in the distance that was constantly twisting and spinning.
This thing, together with the Great Guardian, suppressed the growth of the original body. Angron was originally at least three meters tall, but after being transformed, he was only about 2.6 meters tall. The same was true for Fulgrim. In fact, these were all limitations.
The great protection left by the Old Ones left the Primarch's power incomplete.
So the original body is actually just an emperor demon with a shell that can be used to walk in the mortal world. Ryan thought, at best, he can be regarded as a follower of the emperor, and he is also the only one who has not been removed by the emperor.
The Primarch with the ability to reproduce, other Primarchs can be humane, but cannot have children.
"If I could have a military commander or regent with all-round military and political power like Tyrion, I would definitely make him a war commander and let him do his own thing." Ryan brought the topic back: "But the premise is that I have enough power to fight against him.
With his ability and wisdom, I am not afraid of anyone in single combat or governing the country, especially the commander-in-chief. However, Fenuba's situation is different, and Gao Jing's political system is completely different."
"Procrastination, inefficiency, infighting, and always knowing about palace intrigues and party opposition?" Sulia took Ryan's arm: "I'm thinking, why can this system be maintained for thousands of years? Even Brittany
Ya is not like this either.”
"There is never a political system that is unreasonable or unreasonable. There is only a political system that suits you and can continue to function." Ryan said meaningfully: "Do you think high spirits are a stretch? Let me tell you, the history of the Phoenix Dynasty is almost 30 years old.
It’s as long as a hundred Soviet Unions~”
"Soviet Union?" Sulia didn't understand: "What is that?"
"Ahem, cough, cough~" Ryan thought that he was too embarrassed to spill the beans. He thought that it was really not easy to make an analogy. Most high spirits can live close to a thousand years. He laughed and said the problem: "Okay.
, that is not what we should be concerned about, our most important task now is to try to seize the mantra scroll."
"What should we do?" Sulia nodded in agreement: "You and Brother Fulgen?"
"That's right." Ryan looked at the blue sea and sky, hugged his wife, and whispered: "Right now, we have the best opportunity. Do you still remember the news about Tigris?"
"Witching Night?"
"That's right, at that time, Fulgen and I will teleport to the inner city, and then prepare to go to Asuryan Flame Temple and Phoenix Pyramid." Ryan frowned: "As for the next thing, we can only take one step.
Just take a look."
"Well, if necessary, Madam and I will do our best to help you, but... what about Olika?" Sulia considered all the issues.
"Olica will help us create chaos." Ryan nodded: "She has been contacted."
In this way, a few days later, the combined fleet returned to Lothern.
The first thing War Lord Tyrion did when he returned to Lothern was to confront Imrik. The two sides had a terrible confrontation in front of hundreds of elven princes at the Phoenix King's Court.
He was well-reasoned and strongly criticized the other party's mistakes in this war.
Outside the royal court, the Dragon Prince and the Silver Helmet Knights each took their sides, waiting for the result.
Phoenix King Fenuba tried his best to calm both sides down. Thanks to Fenuba's super high affinity, coupled with the crisis that Gao Jing was facing internally and externally, the two sides did not intend to solve the problem through force, but
He constantly tried to strengthen his influence in the palace through this matter.
Tyrion had to admit that since the Silver Dragon Horn of Ysramamar had returned to the hands of the dragon princes, they had a way to awaken the dragons in times of crisis, and Caledor's rise was unstoppable.
In the end, the two sides reached a compromise through the mediation of the Eternal Queen's envoy, the chief maid Isdrana.
Neither Ryan nor Forgan knew the specific content of the compromise, and they had no interest in asking.
Immediately afterwards, Tyrion tried to "hoe" Fenubar's Phoenix King Court, but was rejected by Fenubar. The Phoenix King only allowed Tyrion to conduct a very limited investigation of the courtiers around him, and must
There must be solid evidence to support the existence of the mole before arresting anyone. Finuba's attitude made Tyrion very unhappy, and the two sides argued several times with no result.
At this time, important members of the War Council such as Teclis, Imrik, Eltharion, Aislin, and even Isdrona believed that it was not time to "self-examine" anymore, and they must be prepared to deal with witchcraft.
Chaos Demon of Night.
In this way, as the time comes to the end of November, the Witching Night approaches.
That afternoon, in the inner city of Lothern, in the corner of the palace where Ryan buried the crystal.
A bright psychic light flashed out in the corner, the psychic matrix field was operating normally, and the subspace was activated.
The Gray Knights Primarch Llane Malcador and the Emperor's Children Primarch Fulgrim appeared in the light.
"The action begins!"
"There is only one target, the Phoenix Mantra Scroll in the Phoenix Pyramid of Asuryan Flame Temple!"
