Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 320 170. Ulthuan's Noble Circle
Ren, who was hugging his sleeping daughter and sitting there with his head down taking minutes of the meeting, suddenly stopped recording when he heard the words of the Witch King's Hand. He first raised his head to look at his brother standing next to him, and then looked at The profile of the helmet of His Majesty the Witch King and the back of the Hand of the Witch King were seen.

Similarly, Malekith, who was sitting half listening, also came back from his stupefaction, he turned his head to look at Dacius, just as Dacius understood him, he also understood Dacius, he He already knew what Dacius wanted to do, but he didn't stop Dacius.

"Is there any relationship with Belloda?" Dacius asked after a short thought.

The words of Dacius were like a flare gun. The dignitaries present at the scene were either his family members, his cronies, or some smart guys. They had already guessed that he might do something next. what.

Agileser's heart relaxed a little bit, even though he hasn't explained the situation of the lower and upper floors of the Twilight Fortress, even though the information on those two islands has not been fully obtained, and even though the test papers don't have full marks, he knows that he, as the Witch King Your Majesty's subjects, this test is barely passed.

Dacius, who is also a subject of His Majesty the Witch King like Agileser, seems to be on the same level as him, but he is definitely not something he can provoke. He also knows that Dacius did not make things difficult for him, and he What he is good at, compared to the closed Asur colony, Ulthuan is penetrated like a sieve, and sometimes His Majesty the Witch King gets the information earlier than the nobles of Ulthuan.

Undoubtedly, Belloda came from an aristocratic family, and the family's mansion was in the underground palace of the Kesqui Kingdom, as well as a large number of manors and villas.

To put it simply, the entire Kesikui Kingdom is a very high-lying kingdom. The steep sea cliffs on the coastline block the erosion of the waves, and only some lower-lying places are used as ports. Unlike the Kingdom of Iris next to the south, the Kesikui Kingdom is very Wealthy, because fertile farmland gradually extends from the sea cliff to the crater.There are also many glass greenhouses dotted around, and the power of magic ensures that the temperature and environment in the greenhouses are controlled to conditions suitable for fruit growth. There are a large number of villas and manors at the foot of the crater.

Why do you say that there is always a but in everything? The Kosque Kingdom is famous for its sailors and sailing. These Kosqui sailors are spread across the world’s colonies and sea areas. However, the Kesqui Kingdom also has a large number of homeowners, and a small number of hunters near the crater. Not stereotyped surfing for all.

Then came the interesting thing. Although Belloda's manor at the foot of the crater was very close to the manor where Prince Alasia lived, the story didn't start here.It was Lothern, the capital of the Kingdom of Itain. Due to the relationship between navigation, trade and marriage, the family of Beloda had a very good relationship with the family of the Emerald Sea of ​​the Kingdom of Itain. Marlene's relationship is very good, because they are both mages, they are classmates, and they are good girlfriends who talk about everything.

Alicia and Marlene were born in the Emerald Sea family of Itain Kingdom. Princess Alicia and Prince Alasia are husband and wife.

"Hey! Can this be related?" Dacus, who was drawing a relationship diagram, was suddenly stunned, because he knew who Princess Alicia and Prince Alasia were.

This couple is the parents of the Thai brothers. Princess Alicia, in the words of Princess Marlene, has a soul full of joy and is the daughter of Lothern, whether it is at home, on the water, or on the ground.

In the end, Princess Alicia died in the manor at the foot of the crater mountain in the Kingdom of Kesikui. She was in poor health and died because of dystocia giving birth to the Tai brothers, but she is still alive and well, because the Tai brothers have not yet been born. Another 150 years.

"According to the information I know, Prince Finnubar likes Beloda, and Beloda loves Kehain Iron Sword, the captain of the White Lion Guard, but Kehain, a commoner who came out of Charis, likes Ma Princess Lin."

Dacius, who was still drawing a relationship diagram, shook his head speechlessly, you love him, he doesn't love you, he loves her, and you and her are best friends, your circle is so messed up.

The current captain of the White Lion Guard is not Kohler. The Battle of the Fennuwa Plain in 2300 in the Imperial Calendar has not yet broken out, nor has he been beheaded by Julian.Similarly, the Captain of the White Lion Guard is different from the Black Guard. He is not only a simple companion and bodyguard, but also performs diplomatic missions on behalf of the Phoenix King, acting as a middleman between the Phoenix King and the big family and nobles.

"Could it be that Belloda failed to express his love, and then chose to leave the colony?" Dacius suddenly said with great interest when he thought of something.

Agileser, who was still talking, was suddenly stunned, and the dignitaries of Drucci who saw his reaction understood it, and then the whole tent burst into understanding laughter.

"You're right. Belloda's teacher was from the Tyriolan family when she was studying in the White Tower of Hess. She was able to come to the Twilight Bastion through this relationship."

Dacius nodded, as expected.Finnubal is still wandering around the old world, maybe he can still meet them when he goes to the old world, and make a series of friendly and cordial greetings, and talk about fate and foreshadowing.

There may be a reason why Finnubal likes Beloda. Although he is not from the Emerald Sea family, the Ruilun family he belongs to is also a seafaring family of the Kingdom of Itain.The Emerald Sea family has thirty falcon ships, which are used for trade and exploration. Sometimes these ships will also plunder the coast of Naggaroth, but the ships of the Ruilun family are more than the ships of the Emerald Sea family. The Ruilun family is The strongest among the sailing families of the Kingdom of Itain.

The highest level of ships in Ulthuan is the dragon ship, which is the capital ship of the Azul Navy, deployed and commanded by the Phoenix King and the admirals, instead of belonging to a certain family like Durucci's black ark.Next came the Falcons, to match up against Drucci's marauders, and then the hit-and-run motor boats of the Falcons.

Some erudites commented that Asur was rotten during the reign of Bel-Hathor. Although Bel-Hathor did a lot of things during his reign, Asur hoped that Finnubar could bring the courage and strength of the elves.A sailor and explorer from Lothern, not a decadent mage, he embodies the virtues of Lothern's citizens.

If Azul who didn't know it might really believe it, but Dacius knew it wasn't!This is a conventional way of publicity and momentum, paving the way for Finnubal to succeed the Phoenix King.

At the very beginning, Dacius stereotyped that those Phoenix Kings were just dudes and tigers who could live a life, or they were puppets, mascots, etc., but as he got to know the world better and Ai Giresser's massive amount of information, and Malekith's idle chatter, he found that this was not the case. At that time, he stood on the sidelines and did not have so much understanding and thinking.

The Phoenix Court of the first Phoenix King Aenarrion was in Tar Anlek, the capital of the Kingdom of Nagareth, and the Phoenix Court of the second Phoenix King Balshiana was in Taran, the capital of the Kingdom of Tyranok. An Luo, the position of the Phoenix Court was not fixed until the third Phoenix King Caledor succeeded to the throne.Caledon did not set the Phoenix King's Court in the Caledon Kingdom, but in Lothern, the capital of the Itain Kingdom. Since then, it has become a customary rule.

What's interesting is that there have been ten Phoenix Kings now, but none of them came from the Kingdom of Itain.Since Balshiana became the second Phoenix King, those nobles have monopolized the Phoenix Throne.Of all the Phoenix Kings, only Aenarion was not chosen by them.

Aenarion was a hero, and because he died, and at the right time as a ruthless soldier, history did him favorably.But as a father he didn't deal with the faction, he didn't pave the way for his son, or he didn't want to do it at all.This also led to what happened later in disguise, and indirectly led to the great division of the elves, the sky fell and the earth fell, and the elves fell into civil war and irreversible decline.

All subsequent Phoenix Kings were chosen from this faction, the fourth Caledor II, the son of Caledor the Conqueror.

The fifth Phoenix King Caladrell from the Kingdom of Iris is even more interesting. He is known as the Peacemaker, but he also has a derogatory name "Peacemaker" in Ulthuan. He is from Iris The Rivenio family of Farin in the Kingdom of Sri Lanka, he can use weapons, but he is not a warrior, let alone a mage.

Carla Dreyer's position is more like a retinue, a steward, an aide, and a staff officer.As a diplomat he chose to serve Imradric of House Caledor.

As a result, Imradric, the brother of Caledor II, died in the Old World. Imradric was one of the few elves who respected the dwarves. He did everything he could to maintain peace between the dwarves and the elves, because He knew the conflict would tear their world apart and cripple both races, but ironically, he ended up dying at the dwarf's rune battleaxe.

Imradric's son Thorior was brought to the court of Lothern, and Caledor II raised him as his heir.Although Caledor II didn't like Caledrell, he respected Caledrell's loyalty to the Caledor family, so he appointed Caledrell as steward when he went to the Old World, and he was in charge of the Phoenix as regent royal court!
As a result, Caledor II also died in the Old World. Originally, the fifth Phoenix King should be Soriol. Although the nobles of Ulthuan were dissatisfied with the various policies of the Caledor family, he was still able to succeed. , he turned it down.

Thoriol proposed Caladrell to replace him, because he believed that Ulthuan did not need a warrior as the Phoenix King at this time, but a uniter who could unite the different factions and divisions of the Ten Kingdoms.

Facts have proved that Carla Dreyer has this ability. Although he is not a fighter, he has good relations with many factions and a keen eye for politics.

Caladrell's first decree after ascending the throne was to abandon all colonies in the Old World and bring Asur back to Ulthuan.In the face of the relentless hostility of the dwarves, he thought it foolish to maintain a large army in the colony, especially now that Drucci was already a threat to the kingdoms of the Inner Rim of Ulthuan.

Caladrell knew there would be no war without fighting the Dwarves, and he thus gave up his elf pride.He ordered a new phoenix crown to be forged and recalled the army to Ulthuan.The proudest of the Azur protested that the Phoenix Crown remaining in the hands of the Dwarves was a grave insult to their pride.But Caladrell, always an outspoken azul, replied that he would rather lose the crown than Ulthuan, and has since ignored the complaints.

So the phoenix crown remains in the dwarf's treasury, and the phoenix crown worn by the subsequent Phoenix kings is the Caladrell version.

In addition, the Azul colonists of the Old World protested, seeing the departure of the army as a betrayal.Caladrille then made a rebuttal, arguing that if the protection of Ulthuan's army was needed, then one should return home, and Ulthuan's army could provide such protection.

Many Azul colonists did return, but what awaited them was war and conscripts against Druch... and this evacuation also resulted in the birth of Asrai of Athel Loren, who refused to give up their second Homeland, and declared itself independent of the Phoenix Throne, independent of Ulthuan.

But no matter what Caladrell did, or how good he was during his reign, he couldn't get rid of the brand of the Caledor family on him!

The sixth Phoenix King, Tesiris with the title of Slayer is the third Phoenix King from Caledor Kingdom...

Then came the seventh Phoenix King "The Wise" Bell Khadis from the Kingdom of Sapphire. When he was in power, he was hailed as the second golden age of Ulthuan. The greatest mage since Caledor.

The eighth Phoenix King, Edith with the title of "Singer", is from the second Phoenix King of Saffrey Kingdom, and like his predecessor, he is from the Teriolan magic family.The secret police of the White Tower of Hess discovered that the close minister and good friend beside him was the Drucci assassin, a believer in the sect of indulgence. Things are often so bloody. When the assassin was unmasked, a poisonous dagger pierced The heart of the Phoenix King.

Although the ninth Phoenix King came from the Kingdom of Iris, Morville was a polymath at the White Tower of Hoth in the Saffrey Kingdom before succeeding the Phoenix King. Yes, you read that right, a reckless man who is not proficient in politics and war A polymath, and the first thing to do when he succeeds to the throne is to avenge Eddis.

The question is, why is Morville so eager to avenge Addis?How was he chosen?Falling into horrific nightmares into paranoia and madness came after he met Malekith, who unleashed a horrific black magic on him.

The current Phoenix King is the tenth Bel Hathor, who has the title of "Sage", and the third Phoenix King from the Kingdom of Saffrey. Like the wise man and the singer, he also comes from the Tyriolan family ...

Tyriolan is the most prominent family in the Saffrey Kingdom, and the White Pagoda of Heth built in the Saffrey Kingdom was presided over by the seventh Phoenix King, Bel Khadis.

Bel Hathor was chosen for two reasons: an extremely prominent family, and because many nobles believed he could be easily manipulated to their own ends.

It turns out that the nobles were wrong, and Bel Hathor, possessed by Jiajing, was far shrewder than they had imagined, and became a ruler known for his determination and wisdom, most notably the He resisted the pressure and refused to attack Naggaroth, even though he knew that Asur might wipe out the weak Drucci, but he feared that such a bloody and tragic war would cause more deaths, so that the elf race became extinct. It's a sure thing, he won't bet the future of his people just for the satisfaction of vengeance.

And Bel Hashor ordered to create fog in the waters of the Ulthuan Outer Ring Kingdom, forbidding any human beings to set foot on Ulthuan, but times have changed, and now the sailing family of the Kingdom of Itain has exerted its strength. Under the influence, he sent Finnubal went to investigate the situation in the Old World in Asur's absence.

Conversely, except for the first Phoenix King Aenarion from Nagareth, the second generation of Balshiana from the Tyrannok Kingdom, the rest of the previous Phoenix Kings were either from the Caledon family or from the Terio The Lan family, the two Phoenix Kings from the Kingdom of Iris, are either connected with the Caledor family or the Teriolan family.

As the saying goes, the mountains and rivers take turns. If you come to our house today, you will not change in 6000 years when you arrive in Usuan.

The originally powerful Tyrannok kingdom has gone through the Great Split and the Earthquake, and every time Drucci attacks Ulthuan, the Tyrannok kingdom will suffer.Not to mention the Kingdom of Nagareth, who knows everything.The Kingdom of Charis, a mountainous land, is barren and remote.The nobles of the Kesikui Kingdom have also learned well. Although they have no hope of becoming the Phoenix King, they can join hands with the nobles of the Itain Kingdom.The Kingdom of Avalon in the inner ring is the territory of the Eternal Queen, not to mention the place where the Kingdom of Elyon puts horses...

"The Phoenix King is chosen by a council composed of those nobles, who stand out from the crowd of candidates they put forward. This is usually because they feel that they can control the Phoenix King, or the Phoenix King owed a lot of money before he succeeded to the throne. They cannot repay the debt, so the Phoenix King has to obey them."

It was the words of the Patriarch of the Emerald Sea that completely shook Tyrion's faith as a young adult and washed away his three views. He always believed that the Phoenix Kings of all generations were like his ancestor Aenarion, the most outstanding elves The elite stood out, and the Phoenix Kings of all generations were full of enthusiasm for Ulthuan and the interests of all the elves, but his grandfather's words made him realize that everything was so dirty.

"When you get closer to see how the machine of power works, you will find that it is so dirty, shameless and despicable, but this does not mean it is a bad thing..." Da thought for a while. Keus complained in his mind.

The first Phoenix King was not chosen by the elves, but by Asuryan!When the other elves hid in the caves to avoid the killing of the Chaos Demon, he stood up bravely. He realized that the elves' poor weapons and beliefs could not resist the killing of the Chaos Demon. And there begged the Creator to help him.

Asuryan didn't respond to Aenarion, he didn't respond after Aenarion burned the sacrifice, and he still didn't respond after Aenarion sacrificed a white lamb.

Until the end, Aenarion roared in despair, as long as Asuryan can save his people, he is willing to throw himself into the sacred fire!Asuryan still didn't respond, but he kept his promise, striding into the holy fire, chanting the oath of sacrifice.Pain racked his body, pain burned his limbs.His hair caught fire, his heart stopped beating, and the elves who saw it thought he was dead, and a miracle happened.

Aenarion, who was reborn from nirvana, emerged from the holy fire unharmed, and he was transformed by the holy fire.The power of Asuryan entered his body, and he single-handedly killed the army of Chaos demons outside the temple of Asuryan.Soon the news of his victory spread throughout Ulthuan, and all the elves were excited by his victory and spontaneously gathered around him.He is an excellent war leader. During the war, the elves need such a clear command to lead the elves to victory.

But with the victory and the death of Aenarion, everything changed. The elf nobles did not want a figure like Aenarion to appear in peacetime, they did not want to see a figure like Aenarion. The rulers with absolute power do not want Aenarion's heirs to succeed the Phoenix King created by Aenarion. They believe that the system they created should be to prevent this kind of excessive concentration of power, which may lead to tyranny.Not to mention Malekith, even Morelion, the eldest son of Aenarion and the eternal queen Astariel, is useless.

Unless Aenarion didn't die, paving the way for his heir with that great prestige.

Dialectically speaking, there seems to be nothing wrong with this set of gameplay?Malekith wanted to have the same power in peacetime as his father had in wartime, especially with his mother Morathi jumping up and down and spreading the word, at least that's how the nobles looked at first.This is absolutely not allowed by the nobles, so in the end they chose a Phoenix King they expected to explain all this. As a result, while Morelion and Malekith were both alive, they came from the Kingdom of Tyranok Balshiana became the second Phoenix King.

In other words, it was the problem with this set of gameplay that led to the birth of Malekith, the tyrant.

Durucci's power organization system is completely different from Azul's. Although it is said that the sword of Kane cursed the elves, all of this reflects Malekith's personality. Under his will, pain, Torture and vengeance became Durucci's themes, but not now, of course.

Combining the memory of his previous life and the current intelligence, Dacius believes that it is inevitable that Finnubal will not attack Usuan before Finnubal succeeds to the throne, and that Finnubal will become the No.11 Phoenix King, provided that he does not die of course.According to the owner of Emerald Sea, our family spent a whole 1000 years in order to push Finnuba to the Phoenix Throne.

Finnubar is like Sirsis, as a dot with multiple lines behind it, Sirsis represents the fear lords of Naggarond, while Finnubar represents the various seafaring families of the Kingdom of Itain , as well as the closely related sailing families of Kosque and Iris Kingdom.

1000 years...Fenubal didn't live for such a long time, but before he was born, the sailing families of Itain Kingdom paved the way for the position of the Phoenix King.

It is very difficult to make Finnubal the Phoenix King. This plan has been planned long before Finnubal was born. The seafaring families of the Kingdom of Itain united and persuaded many nobles. Wealth lends money to the nobility or pays off the nobility's debts.He also sent expensive gifts that could not be refused or returned to some nobles.

Of course, the outlet of the times also chose Finnubal, and Finnubal became the Phoenix King because the era belonging to Finnubal has arrived.

Fenubar, who was sent by Bel Hathor to the Old World, brought back information after a tour, which made the nobles of Ulthuan realize that the times have changed. Perhaps Azul needs a new leadership style, a new style of leadership. The Phoenix King must be able to transcend Ulthuan and make connections with those other young races.

The nobles felt that Ulthuan needed some allies, and that diplomacy with other races should be handled by a Phoenix King who knew the world outside Ulthuan.And this is the advantage of Finnubal. Finally, with the blessing of interests and outlets, after all the interests were combined, Finnubal from the Kingdom of Itain became the No.11 Phoenix King.

But some nobles are not satisfied with Finnubar becoming the Phoenix King. They think that such a succession breaks all traditions. Of course they say so. Maybe it is more jealousy. They are not jealous of the Phoenix King. They are jealous of the Nautical Family. They promised them less benefits than other nobles.

Moreover, the succeeding Finnubal did not act to eliminate this concern. From the very beginning, he issued decrees such as opening the sea, vigorously developing navigation and colonies, etc., which are beneficial to the navigation family, and then he handed over the affairs to the Phoenix King. The bureaucrats of the court, went to tour the world by themselves, and the nobles who were dissatisfied with him, the nobles who had been dissatisfied with him during this time have been spreading rumors, until the eternal queen came forward to calm down.

If this is not specific, let me give you an example. Imrik and Finnubal of the contemporary Caledor family have been at loggerheads. The lord Asanil was the victim of the struggle between these two factions. Asanil was the last one who rode the green dragon to the southern city-state of the old world to become a war dog mercenary.

Now looking back at the end of the world, Imrik's choice of Malekith may be able to explain it. The Caledor faction and Itain faction have been at odds for a long time, and there is a backlog of conflicts. In addition, Teclis, his own The ancestor of how to train the dragon and the endorsement of the gods in the maelstrom, and finally add the piles of dragon eggs.

"Wearing a sharp weapon, let's kill yourself!" Dacius felt his head hurt a little. It may be that the altitude here is a bit high, which made him a little hypoxic. At this moment, he had the urge to think everything suddenly, so There is no need to think about this bunch of nonsense, but he knows that this can only be thought about, and he can't do it.

Power is an alluring thing, and Dacius as Hand of the Witch-King and Umak will issue all kinds of orders.He knew that Drucci and the Lizardmen more or less listened to him, or obeyed unconditionally, but sometimes it also made him feel distorted.

Umak is okay. When Dacius sits at the dining table or the conference table as the Hand of the Witch King, the dignitaries of Drucci below will greet him and praise him. The reason why the dignitaries do this is because they Knowing that his promotion, interests and prospects are on him, his evaluation of the powerful will completely affect his fate and determine his life and death.

Power has such a powerful charm, and at the same time, it will also fuel Dacius's pride and distort his heart. Fortunately, there are still some reliable existences around him, and he can still talk to his mount and his advisor if he has nothing to do. Some time, or ask Master Ma to take a bubble bath, and he can wake me up three times a day before going to bed.

Dacius feels that he is becoming more and more like a political animal evolution. Umak is okay, mainly because of the irreversible changes brought about by the Hand of the Witch King. He is the Hand of the Witch King. What kind of fear lord, not a war lord who is only in charge of war, he is in charge of everything about Drucci.He has to take care of everything, politics, factions, economy, war, overall strategy, and ideological changes, all of which he is responsible for, even when Malekith moves on.

For elves, politics, diplomacy, economy, and military are all means, which cannot be avoided.If Dacius is facing some kind of destructive force, there is nothing to say, just do it!It's like the white-haired Harken blocked Dacius's way. There's nothing to say about it. There's no diplomacy, no politics, just ask people to shoot!And that Skuke, there was no need to communicate at all, and he directly turned it over and sacrificed it to Sotek.

What Dacius hopes is to pull out the back line through a point, or to raise the whole surface.For example, like at the end of the day, pull the Kingdom of Caledor over, or use dumping economic means to destroy Ulthuan's economy through the seafaring family of the Itain Kingdom, and then choose a reasonable time to launch an attack on Ulthuan A comprehensive attack.He doesn't want to play one-on-ten, he doesn't want to go shopping or continue the war at all, which is one of the main reasons why he has to go to the old world, he wants to meet the representative of the Itain faction, Finnubar, Find out.

Similarly, Dacius, who was thinking too much, also thought about taking Twilight Fortress down through diplomatic means without bloodshed, and revitalized the whole situation through one point.Otherwise, the defense pressure of Drucci's army in the Kauchen Plain would be too great. The long coastline and the junction between the southern outposts required a trinity of defenses by sea, land and air.

Dacius didn't want to wake up one day and hear the news of high blood pressure that all the cows he raised had died. If that happened, there would be no room for diplomatic mediation. There is blood, sacrifice cattle and sheep!
Admiral Sieglin Haiguang and the captain of the trident bearer Fenarfin Xinglong have a relatively simple relationship network. They are from the kingdom of Irion and they have a friendly relationship with the Morville family.

Moreover, Siglin is also Finnubar's distant cousin, and there is a marriage relationship between the families.

Although Feinarfin's family is related to Moville's family, he came here through the relationship of the Siglin family, which is one of the reasons why Finnubar will let him change from a marine captain to a dragon boat commander .

There are few villains in the kingdom of Yris, but there are many things. Because Tar Yris is the largest port in the east of Ulthuan, it is divided into two factions. The naval faction that is close to the Kingdom of Itain, as for the troubles of the "Big Belly King" Gulu...

Princess Elsa Fallen Star, who also manages the island of Spear Reef, is from Itain’s nautical family. The island of Spear Reef is an important source of income for the faction of the Kingdom of Itaine. They will not give it up to the kingdom of Caledon. A pair of trousers for the Tyrannok Kingdom.

Dacius thought that the point of breaking the Twilight Fortress might be Beloda Bailang, but he didn't think about how to carry out the work for a while.Moreover, the personnel of his Storm Weaver Order has not yet been filled, and now only Roxia and Karion are supporting the facade.

"Rest first, and look at this mountain of wealth tomorrow." Dacius first glanced at Malekith and said after finding that Malekith was still in a daze. He didn't say anything about going back and thinking about it. If so, he believed that the group of dignitaries would understand.

　Belloda is from the Lustria Running Group book, and I made up the relationship with those networks, but that network is indeed true.

　　So is Finarfin, but Sigrin is indeed a distant cousin to Finnubal.

　　Imrik and Athaniel are my strings, everything else is true
