Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 750 The Sacrifice of Asuryan

As an engineering consultant, the dwarf estimated that this matter would cause an uproar before it was revealed.

But after the Great Council is about to convene, this matter has become insignificant. Everyone's attention is focused on who will lead Asul into the future in this change.

The herald came to the prince and whispered,
"Your Highness, the Phoenix Court still insists on having everyone with status and identity participate in person, so that everyone can understand the legality and justice of this great council. Among those Caledo was named and asked to participate is Masino , Agathel, Randy, Edgar, Wycliffe, Davian...

And because the Dragon Court regards humans as citizens, it should send at least five honorary nobles to witness the Grand Council. "

Regarding the Phoenix Court's move, Imrik secretly said that he was speechless. It was enough to bring all the high-level dragon princes with him. How could they be considered human beings?

The Dragon Palace currently only grants honorary noble status to Mishan, Iron Wolf, and Damian. Where can I find two more people to make up the number?

He almost said by name that these three humans must be present. How could Asu Yan, the chosen one, be so cowardly.

"Then, did you name a few giant dragons?"

The herald looked a little embarrassed. Not only the dragons were named, but also Skalazak, who was far away in the old world and had never been to Ulthuan.

"Their excuse is that the dragon, as an ancient ally of Asul, should have a voice in this important event, and insists that His Highness Minas Nir should inherit the will of his father Indra Gunir and stand with the sacred Phoenix King. Together."

This Malekith must be stupid, his father is a great hero, and the life and death covenant with Indra Gurnir is the most worthy epic in Ulthuan.

After Seraphim died, you just missed my old rice, right? What a fool*.

After insulting the dead dog Malekith in his heart for a moment, Imric nodded and agreed to the notice. If everything goes well, the Great Council will be officially convened in two months.

After 12 years of preparation, the Assurs were surprised to find that the efficiency of doing things was too high. It only took 12 years to vote?
In fact, this is the result of deliberate delay by many parties, each with their own agenda.

……

Two months later...

Lothern's huge square, which can accommodate 10 people, became filled with the influx of people, and the terraced auditorium was packed with people.

All eyes were fixed on the long U-shaped table in the central area. The president of the parliament, representatives of the nobility, and more than a dozen of the most prestigious and authoritative people in the kingdom were sitting silently behind the prince.

The Grand Council has a complex set of sacrificial procedures that require all parties to vote without any selfish motives and to ensure in front of the gods that everything is for the protection of Ulthuan.

Their respective kingdoms offered sacrifices to their patron gods: Val of Caledor, Harkon of Tyranloch, Radlili of Iris, Hoth of Saffrey, Aisha of Avalon, Mar of Cosque and Itain Thran, Charis and Arion of Kurnos.

The solemn and unusual sacrificial sessions passed by in turn. What was noteworthy was that Adila was seriously staying by her father's side, becoming the first heir.

After the sacrifices to the patron saints of the nine kingdoms were completed, the prayer to the god Asuyan was supposed to be presided over by the Phoenix King.

But now, there is still no sign of the Phoenix King.

It was past half day and the sun was shining, and the Phoenix King was seen walking into the venue surrounded by ceremonial guards, wearing a red gold silk crown, and among the halberds of the Phoenix Guards.

The flaming phoenix nameplate behind him became extremely dazzling after being reflected by the sunlight. People whose eyes were in a trance in the light could only feel that the gods were personally coming, and every step was full of majesty.

Imrik squinted his eyes. It wasn't that he was forced to open his eyes by the bright light. The dragon's eyeballs have a thin film to block strong wind and blurry light. He happened to have one too, but he hadn't used it for a long, long time. Transformed into a dragon.

The field of vision changed from the human eye to the high-latitude line of sight that was difficult to capture, observing His Majesty the Phoenix King who was walking slowly.Fenubar is dead...

This doubt was finally revealed at this moment. The weak curse existing in the Phoenix King's body had disappeared. This was the price of using the fire-avoiding spell to deceive the platinum flames.

Most of the Phoenix Kings did not die well. This was Asuryan's curse. Among them, the three Phoenix Kings of Caledor were the most serious. Only the body of Titris was preserved, and the other two died extremely humiliating deaths.

Imrik's vision briefly met with that of "Finuba", and both sides sneered in unison.

Malekith, who controlled Fenubar's body in the Chaos Demon Realm, thought he was hiding well, and Imrik's sneer was just too angry, forcing Drachnir to be a proton.

Imrik, who was observing the Phoenix King, had already understood Malekith's intention and reminded Tigris that he would use the second plan to get the best of him.

The ceremony of worshiping Asuryan is solemn and sacred, far more grand than other gods, highlighting the superior status of the creator god.

The Phoenix King sat at the gap in the U-line prepared for him. At the end of the ceremony, he raised his hands and praised loudly.

"Asuryan, you decide the fate of everything, we pray for a just answer!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of white-gold pure holy fire suddenly rose from the Phoenix King's palm, surprising all the onlookers.

The platinum phoenix flame is the orthodox symbol of Asuryan's choice. The last Phoenix King to declare his orthodoxy with the platinum phoenix flame in public was Aenarion...

Only Imrik disdainfully scoffed. The intensity of this platinum phoenix flame was far inferior to the fire poison in Malekith's body. It should have been converted from the curse in Fenubar's body.

He must not realize now that the 6000-year Phoenix King trial has ended. As long as he returns from the Chaos Demon Realm, enters the Holy Fire and burns it again, he will truly be transformed and reborn, and inherit his father's throne.

Malekith's current mentality is still the dark psychology of the Witch King, a traitor who wants to betray him.

After the show was over, Alagir stood up without ceremony and spoke on behalf of the prince.

"Dear compatriots of Assur, we are here because Caledor has been treated unfairly. Everyone knows how much Caledor has paid for Ulthuan. Since the great invasion of Chaos, thousands of The dragon prince and his dragon allies traveled throughout Ulthuan day and night, uniting under the name of Guardian Aenarion to protect the people of Asul.

At the most critical moment, Caledor Dragon Tamer voluntarily sacrificed his life to protect the world, and he still protects Ulthuan to this day.

I don’t need to mention the ancient events. The Conqueror King and the Butcher King defeated the Witch King’s plan. Prince Mikhail, who died in the battle of Nagaryth in recent years, is an undoubted great hero.

Caledor does not ask for help from other countries, but it must be respected and understood. Prince Draknir is the only child of Prince Imrik and Princess Adira, and His Majesty the Phoenix King's actions have deeply offended countless blood descendants. Sacrifice to the Caledor family and the Belkirk family who protect Ulthuan.

As a member of Ulthuan, I find it difficult to see the heirs of heroes not being respected, and trying to distort the reality to control the dignity of a family full of honor and sacrifice.

If the heirs of heroes are not respected by reason, what difference is there between us and our Druchi cousins ​​who are masters of betrayal and murder.Therefore, an amendment was proposed in the Grand Council to clarify the powers of the Phoenix King. "

Fenuba was very calm, unusually calm, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, even his tone was like this.

"I am aware of Caledor's request and submit an amendment to the Great Council."

The attendant distributed three documents to each representative, and then there was a half-hour gap to discuss the results internally, and then asked if there were any similar proposals in the following public discussion.
