Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 733 Silent Sentinel

Along the way, the three dragon princes did not kill the guards blocking the way. They could force the palace, but if they killed someone, the nature would change.

Cohill, who was responsible for the security of the Phoenix King's Court, seemed to have realized that Prince Daolong did not intend to take any serious action, and did not send a large number of white lion guards to stop him.

The Dragon Prince, who moved faster than his brain, had penetrated the Phoenix King's Court in less than two hours. This would have been true if one ignored the large number of white lion guards following behind him.

Agthel came over cursing and before entering the final entrance, he found a courtyard without any courtesy. He raised the wine bottle and took a few sips. He wiped the corners of his mouth and signaled the two to continue the attack.

What was unexpected was that there was already a person standing in front of the entrance door. With an unusually handsome face and a tall figure that was unusual for Etain, it was the war lord Tyrion.

Agathel drew his sword and asked why Tyrion appeared here. Political disputes between the Phoenix Court and various kingdoms did not fall within the scope of the war lord's responsibilities.

Tyrion did not show a fighting posture and watched the Dragon Prince silently for a while, then inexplicably chose to step away to express his release.

Agthel, who still didn't know the meaning of Tyrion's move, took back his sword and strode into the courtyard with his two colleagues. Inside was the residence of the Phoenix King.

If Fenubar doesn't give a suitable answer, there will be a proton incident about Draknir and the approval of the exit permit. Agthel must let him understand that Caledor really doesn't care about the so-called Ulthuan community. consciousness.

But accidents always happen. The white lion guard who was supposed to be standing in front of the Star Iron Gate was replaced at this moment.

The sentry, holding a rune halberd, wearing a winged helmet, a flaming phoenix cloak and orange scale armor, stood in front of the Star Iron Gate, silently waiting for the Dragon Prince.

Phoenix Guard?

Agthel was surprised. Since the Battle of Fennuvar Plains, the presence of the Platinum Flame Temple has become increasingly blurred, making people somewhat forget about these sacred guards blessed by Asuryan.

The Lord of Fengxiao City, who knew the inside story of the Phoenix King's election, envisioned more things at this moment.

He walked up to the silent sentry, letting the halberd reach his eyebrows, and said in a low voice,
"I want to see Fenuba."

The silent guard shook his head slowly, indicating that it was absolutely impossible.

Trevicorn stepped forward and held the rune halberd between his fingers, unafraid of its sharp edge.

Perhaps other kingdoms are in awe of the Phoenix Guard, but the wars experienced by the Dragon Prince of Caledor are far more brutal and fierce than a group of guards living on the island. From the Chaos Invasion to the Fenouir Plains, this has been proven time and time again. strength.

The veteran squinted his eyes and stared mysteriously at the alert Phoenix Guard.
"Do you understand the significance of this move?"

The Phoenix Guard chose to remain silent, not even using the usual sign language to explain.

Agthel, who made the decision, took some time to think about it. This matter was beyond the scope of consideration. The formation of hundreds of Phoenix Guards fully demonstrated the attitude of the Platinum Flame Temple.

If not handled properly, the conflict between Caledor and the religious community will be aggravated, which can easily lead to the disintegration of Ulthuan.

Looking back, I found Tyrion standing outside the entrance with a gloomy expression. Knowing that this matter must involve many things and it would be difficult to deal with it with such recklessness, I snorted and turned around to leave.

He glanced at Tyrion as he passed by, and in his eyes, he understood that perhaps the Phoenix King's Court would make a big move next.

This matter must be explained to Imric immediately... One day later...

Imric, who was working on the dragon saddle at Vaal's Anvil, couldn't help but nodded, indicating that he understood.

He turned to the high priest and told him to make it as soon as possible. The temporarily processed things were no longer suitable for Lao Mi. The dragon saddle might come in handy next.

I found an unoccupied secret room and began to wonder about the cause of this incident.

The Phoenix Guard stayed outside Fenubar's palace. There are several possibilities. The first is that Asuryan recognized Fenubar and chose him as the Chosen One.

But this is simply unreasonable. How can a creator god who is indifferent to worldly affairs bless a usurper?
Or maybe they are just aware of the plan left by the ancient saint, and are planning to use Fenubar as a pawn to pave the way for Malekith.

The influence of Lilith cannot be ruled out, and the Platinum Flame Temple...

Imric thought for a long time and made a decision. The Phoenix King, the ruler of Ulthuan, exists because of Aenarion. In terms of political obligations, the Eight Kingdoms are not its vassals. Its actual significance is more important. Like a confederal political system.

The real de jure monarch of the princes is the Eternal Queen, but Avalon is really weak, and the many Eternal Queens are all vases, which makes this ancient contract between king and subject somewhat vague.

Regardless of Fenubar's true situation, the act of using the divine power to coerce Drachnir as a hostage has touched the sensitivities of various political entities. No Phoenix King would be foolish enough to ask the only heir to the kingdom to be a hostage.

This may indicate a tendency for Fenubar to expand the power of the Phoenix King.

In this case, let's try to see how far Fenuba wants to go. Power comes from the barrel of a gun. Even if the amendment is passed, Caledor has ten thousand ways to cut off the tentacles of the Phoenix Court.

The Platinum Flame Temple to rely on?They were nothing more than rats who were trying to sell their heads. The Dragon Prince had never had any respect for these mutes.

He took out the communication stone and contacted the herald who was always on call, "Gather the domestic political and legal scholars together, I need to file a lawsuit."

The herald was silent for a while, and did not answer immediately. He expressed his opinion, "Your Highness, if you plan to sue the Phoenix Court, it may be difficult for the domestic political and legal scholars to win."

Imric sneered, "No, I am not going to sue the Phoenix Court, but the Phoenix King. Call scholars to the Dragon Court. Ulthuan needs to organize the largest voting meeting in history. The theme is to clearly divide the Phoenix King." Political obligations and powers with the Eight Kingdoms!”

As soon as the news came out that the Dragon Prince convened political and legal scholars to gather in the dragon palace conference hall, everyone who heard the news was curious about it. Winning victory by law was not like Caledor's style.

But with an unknown source of news that completely ignited the war in Ulthuan, the Dragon Palace is drafting the "Act to Clarify the Mutual Political Obligations and Modify the Powers between the Phoenix Court and the Kingdoms"!
No one was prosecuted, but it was pointed at one person very clearly. The dragon princes who were originally stationed in Qingyan Port and Anaheim have returned to Ulthuan one after another. The leader is the champion warrior Masnow. There are now at least ten The dragon is located in Caledor Rest.

If the Phoenix Court vetoes this bill, Prince Caledor will use his own method to remove the Phoenix King's shame cloth.

It seems that even at the cost of exacerbating the divisions in Ulthuan, the Prince of Caledor cannot be allowed to fall into the control of the Phoenix Court.

In order to prepare for this major event, Edgar, Edtellis and others also rushed back from the old world.

Before it was clear whether the White House chose to do this because of the heir's affairs, or whether the prince was preparing to pave the way for future events, Caledo suspended almost all plans except for necessary actions.
