Chapter 28 Conflict with Elion
With a flash of white light, Imric and Davian arrived at the prince's manor in Lothern. The attendant who had been waiting here for a long time came to meet him and led the prince. Walk to the main room.
This manor was specially built by Finuba for Prince Caledor in order to stabilize his position. It was different from the decoration of Caledor. It was filled with gilt decorations and gorgeous gems, and sculptures and paintings made by famous artists could be seen everywhere.
Imric is not in the mood to appreciate these things now. According to his opinion, it is best to take these things to the auction house to see if there is any villain who is willing to contribute part of Caledor's military expenses.
As he walked, he asked Aguilar next to him, who was the Caledor envoy stationed in Lothern, "How many people from the kingdoms have arrived?"
The envoy who followed Imric told the information without any pause. Come out, "Prince Eldraine of Tyranloch, Prince Morarion of Yerys, Supreme Mage Belannar of the White Tower of Hoth, and Prince Gilgarion of Elion."
Only the ones of Charis and Cosqui The people hadn't arrived yet, so they seemed to be waiting to trick him. He ordered people to prepare horses. Imrik needed to rush directly to the War Council. They wanted to trick him, so why didn't he want to trick them? It was all mutual. This time No matter what, you have to bite off a chunk of flesh from them.
Riding on the war horse, these are all transported from Caledor. As the seat of the Phoenix King's Court, each kingdom will get a place similar to an embassy here. Legally speaking, this is equal to the territory of each country, so it is also There will be a small army stationed here.
He raised his head and squinted his eyes to look into the distance. Even in the manor near the city, he could still see the majestic and miraculous building located at the entrance to the Lothern Strait - the Shining Lighthouse, with thousands of lights that would never go out. The magic light guides the passing trade fleets. Commerce is the best pillar of economic development. Compared with Lothern, Tal Cadre can only be regarded as an antique-level city.
Don't think too much, there will be milk and bread. The current problem is to solve the gradually weakening military power of Caledo. The problem of economic development will be solved later, and the horses will be driven forward.
Davian held Caledor's fire dragon flag in his hand, coupled with the iconic dragon armor and helmet, and the three of them were not interrogated along the way. After all, Caledorans are notoriously bad-tempered in all kingdoms. Going up for an interrogation might cause a lot of trouble.
Not long after riding, I arrived at the Phoenix King's Court. There were gorgeously decorated columns and corridors everywhere, and even the gates were dotted with a large number of gems. I got off my horse and looked at the white lion guards standing guard in front of me. Caledon's often kind tone returned to the arrogance and indifference that the Dragon Prince should have.
"The Phoenix King invited me to attend the War Council, open the door."
After carefully observing Imrik and the two people behind him, the White Lion Guard standing guard turned around and said something using a magic communicator. After a moment, he put down the giant in his hand. Axe, "His Majesty the Phoenix King has been waiting for a long time. Your Highness, please come in."
After saying that, someone opened the ten-meter-high meteorite door with two flaming phoenixes embossed in relief, and invited Imric and the other three to enter. The weapons on the three people are beyond the control of these people.
In the final analysis, Ulthuan is just a loose political collection. The princes of various countries have great power. The only thing the Phoenix King can directly govern is the kingdom in his hands. It is completely normal to bring weapons to see the Phoenix King. After entering the interior, several maids led the Dragon Prince to the palace where the War Council was located with perfect etiquette. Since early in the morning, the Phoenix King and a group of princes and princes had been meeting for three days.
To be honest, if Imric hadn't wanted to sell equipment, he wouldn't have wanted to participate in this war council at all. The tradition of elves holding meetings has been around for a long time. The Immortals have a very vague concept of time, so each meeting lasts for a long time. Once, the War Council was held for half a year because various countries had different opinions on the proportion of troops sent to garrison overseas fortresses.
Before he walked in, he heard a man's voice coming from the palace, his tone was a little angry, "Imric must expand the export scale of equipment. The excellent knights of Erion are suffering from a lack of armor this time." Chao has already suffered great losses."
After hearing this, Imric did not look at the maid who bowed and retreated. Even before the servant who was standing at the entrance of the palace had spoken, he was already at the door. Said, "It seems that the knights of Elion are no more than that. If you are unable to defend the grassland left by your ancestors, the Caledor knights can take over your responsibilities." As he spoke, he walked into the palace
. If you are a little kinder to these people, you will definitely get angry. It is better to maintain your usual unsociable attitude.
He nodded to Fenubar, who was wearing the crown of the Phoenix King, and said that he would never bow to the Phoenix King who was not Caledor. Not only was he arrogant from Imric's memory, but he was also a dragon. If the identity of the prince is spread back to the country, it will inevitably arouse public opinion.
Then he looked at Prince Elion, who had just spoken, and saw that this old guy had a lot of conflicts with his predecessor, Prince Caledor. Elion always insisted that their silver-helmet knights were the best riders in Ulthuan, but no matter in the tourney Even in battlefield performance, they are not as good as the Dragon Prince riding a war horse. In addition to being able to crush the Dragon Prince in terms of numbers, it can only be said that the strength of the two sides is not in the same dimension.
"What do you think of Prince Gilgarion? Your palace can be established on horseback. Why not give Tal Airil to Caledor? From now on, there will never be any dragons in tournaments." The appearance of the prince."
Infuriated by Imrik's undisguised contempt, Prince Gilgarion wanted to directly draw his sword and teach the newly succeeded Dragon Prince a lesson. As an Elyon who had been galloping on the boundless grassland on horseback since he was a child, Said, the insult was simply unbearable.
But at this moment, Fenuba, who was sitting in the main seat, spoke. Even a sailor who has traveled around the world, after being crowned Phoenix Queen, will be full of majesty because he controls the most powerful empire in the world, "Im Sir Rick, this is a discussion in the War Council, and the conflict between you and Sir Gilgarion will be dealt with privately later."
Because of Fenubar's words, the two sides, who were originally full of gunpowder, relaxed a little, and Gilgarion also took advantage of the situation to find a way out. Next, he looked at Imric and said with a fierce tone, "Your words are insulting to the people of Elion. After the meeting, I need Caledor to give me an explanation." Regardless of
his provocation, he sat down with the dragon On the embossed chair, he placed the ring symbolizing the Dragon Prince on the table, and then said, "Really? Since Prince Airion wants an explanation, I will take several Dragon Princes to Airil's court to explain in person."
Prince Airion's face turned blue and white after hearing this. Who wouldn't have known that Prince Dragon would not come to the door riding a few war horses and ask to enter the city at the city gate, but would fly directly to the palace with the dragon. Above, this is a naked intimidation. The newly succeeded boy is even more arrogant than his father.
