PS: It wasn't easy for me to write it out in the end.
It was hard to imagine that all the princes of Ossouin would begin to support the dark Phoenix King Malecis on a large scale, but this was the truth. Even the Shadow King Aris Anar, who had always remained neutral, and the White Tower Magus Council of Savruhos, who had always prided themselves on being neutral, began to support Malecis.
They had no choice but to do so.
Logically speaking, there were still many Ossouin High Elves who believed that Malecis was the rightful ruler of the Phoenix King. Even though Malecis' ascension to the throne was in accordance with all the procedures of the Phoenix King, and even though Malecis had successfully walked into the Assuyan Sacred Fire, passed the test, and even became the incarnation of Assuyan, the sacred fire of Assuyan's Phoenix Pyramid had been extinguished, and all the power in it was controlled by Malecis.
Even the Supreme Mage Tegris, Prince Imrek of Kaldor, and the Eternal Queen Alariel maintained their affirmation of Malecis' position.
But there were still people who were strongly dissatisfied.
From a certain point of view, this had always been a feature of the High Elves' political system. No matter who was in power, there would never be a lack of opposition.
On the upside, this ensured that even if the Phoenix King was a lunatic, or even a Dark Elf spy or a believer of Chaos, Ossouin would not be easily destroyed. There was a lot of room for error.
The downside was that in the face of extreme circumstances like the Final Moment, Malecis found himself constrained everywhere. He had to spend all his energy dealing with the countless conspiracies, impeachment cases, and doubts in the Phoenix King's court all day long.
After the Battle of Avalon, Laing, the King of the Forest, fell, and the actual ruler of the Wood Elves became the Eternal Queen Alariel. After extreme anger and sadness, Alariel finally made up her mind and announced that she would marry Malecis, fulfilling the destined marriage contract between the Eternal Queen and the Phoenix King.
The prophecy took a turn here. Originally, Alariel's plan was to delay, which meant that she would agree to marry Zhang Heng, but they would not get married first. Instead, they would get engaged first. Then, using this as a condition, she would ask Malekith to take the initiative to send troops to deal with Tyrion. Once Tyrion was defeated, Alariel hoped that things would turn for the better. Using herself as bait, no matter who won, she and her Avalon would be invincible.
It could be said that the Eternal Queen's plan was very clever, but the Moon Goddess, Lilith, clearly opposed it.
Lilith warned Alariel that if she had such hope, she was destined to lead the Elves to destruction. Malecis was the Phoenix King appointed by Malecis, and it was her duty to marry him. If Alariel made such a decision, then Lilith would completely turn the troops supporting her, including the Twilight sisters' Alaiel Vanguard Legion and Aralos' Taras Hawk Guards.
Unlike the prophecy, Lilith now had "Laing" as her trump card. The Moon Goddess was no longer willing to just guide and inspire. In this environment, she dared to interfere with the fate of mortals. It was not easy to control Alariel and Malecis, but Lilith could play the "Laing card," so she was not afraid.
The Eternal Queen had no choice but to marry the Phoenix King Malecis. The two immediately held a simple wedding in Lothar, which greatly strengthened the legitimacy of Malecis as the Phoenix King. At the same time, the Pale Queen, Olica, went to Luscia with the Water of Life from the Oak of Times and asked Forgen for help to get the secret medicine that the Emperor's Son had personally made from Constantinier.
Malecis was shocked after drinking it.
I can do it! I can do it! After 5,000 years, I can do it!
What happened after that was not known to outsiders. What everyone knew was that Malecis would spend time with Alariel in the days after the wedding. Some people even saw Alariel occasionally lying on the bed in the palace and crying silently.
But in any case, the wedding played a decisive role.
At the wedding, the dark Phoenix King and the radiant queen kissed, declaring that no one dared to question the legitimacy of Malecis' throne.
This was the first factor in Malecis' favor.
The second factor in Malecis' favor was Tyrion's madness. All the betrayals around him, the marriage of the Eternal Queen, and a series of other things happened one after another. Tyrion was completely crazy. The former guardian of Ossouin had now become a demon king who took pleasure in killing people. The first thing he did when he returned to Kothrai was to kill the captured High Elf Princes one by one with the Sword of Cain. Tyrion publicly announced that those who followed him would prosper, and those who opposed him would perish. All the Elven Lords under him had to join the ranks of those who were loyal to him. The weak were asked to take up arms and serve as cannon fodder, or sacrifice themselves to Cain for Tyrion's great cause.
Those who resisted and those who did not respond to Tyrion's call were all arrested. Tyrion personally held the Sword of Cain and beheaded the prisoners one by one.
The beheading process lasted for almost a day, but Tyrion did not feel tired. Instead, he became more excited when he saw a new corpse lying on the wet stone.
Pledge your loyalty! Pledge your loyalty quickly!
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!
The High Elves quickly realized that Tyrion was a more terrifying tyrant than Malecis. After Malecis became the Phoenix King, he had shown great restraint. In comparison, Tyrion had become the most brutal and crazy incarnation.
In the end, Kersil, the captain of the White Lion Guards who was loyal to Tyrion, made a final effort. Kersil stole the Sword of Cain and tried to send it back to where it belonged. Unfortunately, Morasi found out, and all the members of the White Lion Guards and their captain were beheaded in public. Their loyal blood covered the surrounding ground.
Tyrion had gone mad. He was now far more brutal than Malecis.
This was the second factor that benefited Malecis.
As Tyrion recovered from his injuries, the second intermission of the High Elves' civil war ended. The war between the two sides began again. From Kosikui to Savry, both Tyrion and Malecis invested all their forces. A few weeks of fierce battles ensued. In accordance with his father Alario's oath, Malecis fought like a real Phoenix King for Ossouin. The Dark Phoenix King fought for days and nights under the light of the Flame of Creation and the Sword of Asuyan. He fought against thousands of enemies alone. When his army retreated, he alone stopped a large group of Kosikui soldiers who were mad because of the Wrath of Cain.
In Anming City, he led the Dragon Princes of Kaldor to completely tear apart Morasi's army of monsters and saved the Phoenix Guards led by Karjoin who were at an absolute disadvantage.
Every time they clashed, Malecis painfully watched thousands of Elves fall into a pool of blood. He always challenged Tyrion and asked the Dragon of Kosikui to face him in a duel. However, Tyrion refused every time. Cain's incarnation did not think that now was the best time to duel with Malecis. He was obviously stronger than Tyrion. Now, all he needed to do was to maintain his army. As long as he killed and shed blood, Cain's power would grow stronger and he would be in an invincible position.
Sure enough, Tyrion with the Sword of Cain was unstoppable. The Phoenix King's army was defeated by the Tai's army. Until the Battle of Finn Nur Plains, the Eternal Queen used a great spell to summon the Wood Elves from the Great Forest of Azeroth through the roots of the Oak of Time. Malecis was bound to suffer a devastating defeat.
Just when the two sides were tied and were about to turn back and fight again, Lilith instructed Tegris to propose an important proposal to Malecis. Take the initiative to unseal the great whirlpool and take the opportunity to bind the magic of the Eight Winds.
They tried to communicate with Lilith, the Goddess of the Moon, and Kaledor, the Dragon Tamer, who was inside the Great Whirlpool. They both received positive replies, and Malekith no longer doubted them. He then gathered all the elves who could pick up weapons.
At the same time, Tyrion also received the news that the Tai's army was gathering under the command of Tyrion and Morasi.
The final battle of the great whirlpool that belonged to the Elves was about to begin.
In the tent, Suria and Laing shared the news they received from the Lake Fairy. Laing frowned after hearing it, "Did the Lady say when the final battle of the great whirlpool will begin?"
"On the day of Moscrib." Suria said slowly, "Similarly, the three Nurgle armies will also attack Brunswick at the same time."
"Brunswick, Brunswick." Laing hugged his wife and took out a map to look at it, "If the logistics team can arrive on time, then everything will still be in time."
"So, Brunswick — the battle of the great whirlpool will decide the fate of the world." Laing pointed his finger at Brunswick, "We can't decide the outcome of the final battle of the great whirlpool, but we can still decide the outcome of Brunswick."
"Yes, we can. I believe in you, my husband." Suria tiptoed slightly. Knight King's beautiful legs that were glowing with dark golden light extended from her ankles to her thighs. The beautiful legs that were already straight and slender were filled with extreme temptation. Under the decoration of the shining black silk, it added a hazy beauty and moving temptation. Like a rare treasure, they were gently stroked by Laing's big hands. Knight King leaned back against Laing's body, enjoying her husband's caress.
"We must win this battle." Laing thought about everything. The three Nurgle armies had 400,000 people, Zainaik had 60,000, and the Holy War Army of the Knights had about 100,000 people. The Brunswick Army had 107,000 people, and the Nur Army had 50,000 people. The difference in strength was huge.
Of course, Laing himself was a demigod and could summon his own Soul World — the proof of the Sun King. At the same time, he also had a demigod like Diego at the bottom of his chest. But who knew how many trump cards the Four Gods of Chaos had?
While he was still thinking, a small subspace storm emerged, and the supreme golden shadow was facing Laing.
"Are you afraid? Laing, my youngest son? "In the void, the Emperor's voice seemed to faintly appear.
"I was confused, I was hesitant, but I was fearless, father." Laing gave a firm answer. No matter what the future was, he would fight for the old world to the end.
"You must be prepared, my son. This battle will be much crueler than the wars you have experienced before." The Emperor continued, and the golden shadow enveloped Laing and Suria. The voice of the Lord of Humans was very indifferent, but it was filled with unquestionable firmness. "The Eldar Goddess's cunning and changeability make me despise her, but there are some points of view that she is not wrong. You are now in the game of the gods. The only thing you can hold on to is …"
"The salvation of the gods." Morgiana, who walked in from outside, replied.
"Foster father's teachings." Suria said seriously.
"Myself." This was Laing's answer.
"… Are you disappointed in your brothers?" The Emperor's voice was very flat, and the Lord of Humans was only slightly surprised.
"During the Battle of Terra, father did not expect Khan, Dorne, and Saint Giles to fight Horus together!" Laing was dismissive of the Emperor's attitude. He already had his own ideas.
"You've learned a lot from Macardo." Emperor seemed to recall something.
"I learned more from my father." Laing nodded slightly. "No matter what, I will do my best."
"Make good use of Diego's combat strength. This will be the key to the next battle." The Emperor paused for a moment and then said, "The one under you, Calad, is very brave. I haven't seen such a warrior for many years. Unfortunately, he is already the chosen one of the Eldar Gods."
"I understand." Laing smiled. "My life is a test, father."
"No one can escape the test. What Lucia's Fulgen and Rus, who is still in the Land of Darkness, face is a test far greater than yours." The Emperor's holy words rang out, and the Lord of Humans glanced at Suria again. "Including you, my daughter-in-law, you have faced many tests."
"I saw a horse, a black horse. The owner of the horse held six seals in his hand and killed the owner of the silver horse. They will bring destruction or a long peace … Let Devon fight. Without experiencing the test of blood and fire, he will never truly grow." The Lord of Humans closed his eyes.
"Yes!"
The Emperor's phantom disappeared into the distance.
Five days later, the transport team arrived. Our Lord was raised high by Laing. In the gold and silver radiance, the forest was forcefully torn apart. The roots of the trees were torn apart, and the tightly wrapped plants and shrubs were nowhere to be seen. The Sun King personally led the team forward. An empty path was located in its wake, soaked in fire, ignited by the remaining trees on both sides. The flames were still struggling, leaving behind a path in the middle that was like a tunnel, wrapped in burning things around it.
Diego and a few Gray Knight veterans also released their power and burned down the Nursery Forest.
"Brunswick is right ahead. Everyone, the end of this Holy War of Knights is right in front of us. Let's move forward, Brittany warriors, my dwarf brothers and Aisley allies, for the Lady, for the Old World."
There were no heroic words, no stirring speech. Ryan just calmly announced that they would move forward.
His warriors piously saluted him and began to move, following the path created by Laing and Diego. One by one, line by line, they stepped onto the final path.
… … I am the dividing line of the final path … …
At the same time, in the depths of the underground sewers of Brunswick, the capital of the Empire.
When he felt that a series of elements had finally gathered together, Festus opened his mouth and laughed hoarsely. The Nursery Divine Champion was already so tired that his entire body was covered in sweat. He wiped his forehead, and a large handful of maggots and mucus from pustules scattered all over the ground.
"It's done, it's finally done!"
In the room of the Nursery Soup Cauldron, the loud rumbling was disappearing. The reaction had begun, and the work of months had been completed.
Every carefully placed plague jar exploded in the proper order, igniting the stench and poison that were still surging even now. They staggered along the interconnected tunnels and spread out.
Festus clung to the edge of the inner wall of the shaft, panting heavily. His chin trembled with his body, and a mixture of fear and joy passed through his flabby body.
Gaz, the first great magic warehouse under Nursery, slowly came out of the cauldron. "Fei Zi, you've finally completed the summoning ritual. Do you know why you failed repeatedly? Your Uncle Ga wants to teach you. "
Festus hurriedly bowed respectfully, "Please advise me, Uncle Ga."
"Everything in the subspace is virtual. The water here is too deep. The meaning of the runes and the ranking of the great demons are changing every moment. You are too young and don't have that much experience. You can't grasp it." Ku Gaz grinned and said, "Let your Uncle Ga teach you. Summoning a great demon is a happy thing."
"Father of the plague!" Festus cried. He was as grateful as a child.
"Very well, I'm here. Leave it to me!" The smile of Ku Gaz, the chief of Nursery's subordinates, was incomparably sincere.
"Let's burn Charlemagne's throne to ashes."
