"Dong ~ ~ Dong ~ ~ Dong ~ ~"
"Report! The undead pirates and dark elves have formed an alliance and are attacking the Kingdom of Taranok! "
"Report! Urgent report from the Kingdom of Taranok! The enemy's fleet is approaching the island! "
"Report! According to the tower, there are at least 50 battleships in the enemy's fleet! "
In the high elves' war council, urgent reports were sent to Tyrion. The war lord's expression was terrible. He immediately ordered all the troops to prepare for war!
Dong! Dong! Dong! The long sound of the bell woke up the Phoenix King Finnuba who had just laid down. The Phoenix King brought the captain of the White Lion Guards, Kersil, to the war council for an emergency military meeting.
Just like that, the Phoenix King sat on the high throne and listened to the members of the war council.
"Our relatives have formed an alliance with the undead!" Tyrion paced around the hall in frustration. The war lord said sternly, "I have delayed for too long, everyone!"
The Elven Princes didn't say anything. After hearing a series of urgent reports, they finally realized how much time they had wasted. But even so, none of the Elven Princes stood up. Due to the emergency meeting, there weren't many Elven Princes who came. There were only twenty to thirty of them, and more and more of them slowly arrived.
The effect of the meeting was gone, and the war council seemed a little empty. No one dared to speak. Only Princess Eidila spoke. "War lord, I suggest we immediately go back to Taranok and strengthen the coastal defense. At the same time, the fleet will leave the port and meet the enemy's fleet!"
Eidila was the princess of Taranok and the actual ruler of the kingdom. She was obviously the most anxious.
"I will give you five legions, including Erion's cavalry. At the same time, bring back the chariot army that you brought." Tyrion did not hesitate and immediately gave the order. The war lord's expression was ferocious. At this time, because he could not control his emotions, an even scarier and more handsome face appeared behind Tyrion.
The elves knew who he was. The God of War and Murder, Blood Hand Cain!
Tyrion's condition caused the expressions of all the elven princes in the room to change slightly. Even the head maidservant of the Eternal Queen, Istrona, who had served the War Lord last night, showed a worried expression. Many people were guessing whether the curse on Alarion from Cain would appear on his descendants, and the answer was obvious.
But no one made a sound. As mentioned before, even if the high elves believed in the gods of heaven, they still believed in Kane. Assur believed that Kane's passion and desire for war could boost their morale and allow them to survive in battle. So, the high elves allowed Kane to be sacrificed before the battle. And now, when Kane's shadow and handsome face appeared in Tyrion, no one said anything.
"Yes!" Tyrion's strong command and the appearance of the God of Blood Hand's face, coupled with the current critical military situation, the high elven princes finally temporarily put aside their differences and united together. At this time, no one was fussing or emphasizing on glorious traditions. The few officers took the order one after another and followed Princess Atira out.
Finnuba, who was sitting on the Phoenix King's throne with a dull expression, thought to himself. As expected, only when faced with a great threat would the Assur truly unite. Other than that, any attempt to centralize power and command would only be seen by the Assur people as having ulterior motives and wanting to follow the path of the Dark Elves.
"Our Lord of the Sea, we need the Stardragon Fleet to display its combat power immediately. Immediately." Tyrion then roared at Aislin.
"The Stardragon Fleet can set off at any time, War Lord." Aislin was very straightforward. The fleet of thirty-three giant ships under the command of the high elves was fully prepared and could set off at any time. Despite the constant quarrel, Aislin's combat preparations were very good.
"Very good. Then it's the ironclad. Immediately inform Knight King and Commander Ash to come here for a meeting. We need the strength of the ironclad." In the face of a crisis, the strength of the Guardian of Ossouin finally showed, especially at this time when military force was most needed to save Assur. Tyrion's will finally suppressed everyone.
The War Council immediately sent people to find Laing and Forgen to inform them to prepare for battle.
However, just as everyone was waiting for the attendants to find Laing and Forgen, new news came one after another.
"Report! A large fleet of Dark Elves has appeared in the Northern Barren Islands! "
"Report! The Kingdom of Charis has refused to send troops. They want to defend the north gate of Ossouin with all their strength! "
"Report! The Kingdom of Kaldor has refused to send troops! They want to defend the Dragon Gate to the death! "
"Report! The Kingdom of Erion has requested to withdraw from Lotharn! The Kingdom of Kothi has requested to withdraw from Lotharn! "
The news spread into the War Council, and the faces of Tyrion and the others became more and more unpleasant. The Phoenix King was also a little restless. However, Finnuba had been the Phoenix King for so many years, and his ability to maintain his composure was indeed very good. He did not say a word and observed the situation in the War Council, thinking about whether there was a chance to strengthen his political influence and the authority of the Phoenix King.
Tyrion paced back and forth in annoyance.
Sea Lord Aislin was looking at the sea map. He seemed to be thinking about how to carry out this naval battle, how to defend the Barren Islands, and how to use the ironclad.
Azarion was still cold and did not say a word. No one knew what he was thinking.
Imric, Tegris, and Bellannar were not there.
"Retreat is absolutely impossible!" Tyrion said angrily after thinking for a few minutes. The War Lord's voice was filled with anger and uncontrollable emotions. "The only thing we can do now is to quickly destroy the enemy that is attacking Tyrenlocke, then return to the Barren Islands in the north, the Kingdom of Chalis, and the Kingdom of Nagaris. Alarion above, please bestow power upon your descendants! May the Lord of the Phoenix protect Ossouin! "
The War Lord's words caused the War Council to fall silent. The Elven Princes looked at Tyrion strangely, but no one dared to say a word.
Everyone knew that Tyrion was the last descendant of the first Phoenix King, Alarion!
He had already brought out Alarion, so no one dared to say anything. Tegris was not there, Imric was not there, and the Phoenix King was not there. Who among the Elven Princes dared to say that their bloodline was nobler than Tyrion's?
This was an open conspiracy, but no one dared to object. Tyrion finally had control of the situation.
After waiting for more than an hour, Laing, Suria, and Fugen finally arrived. Tyrion did not say much. Instead, he said directly, "His Majesty Laing, His Majesty Fugen, the enemy is attacking. We need the strength of the ironclad warships. Are you ready?"
"The ironclad warships are ready for battle." Ryan nodded. He was just about to ask Tyrion about his naval strategy, but it seemed that this was the answer the War Lord wanted. After hearing the affirmative answer, Tyrion directly turned to Aislin and said, "Then, the Enterprise and the Saint Sophia will be under your command. Just let them follow us."
"Understood." Aisling said to Laing and Fugen, "When the time comes, I will have to trouble you to follow our Seadragon and Prince. The two Phoenix Warships will lead you into battle."
"We must defend against the enemy outside of Ossouin. We must eliminate the enemy's threat outside of Ossouin." Tyrion continued to formulate a plan, "Our fleet will defeat the enemy outside of Ossouin and quickly rush to the Barren Islands in the north. We will prepare to meet our cousins' fleet!"
After that, everyone began to formulate a strategic plan. After the War Council's discussion, they decided that the military operation had to be fast. They had to try their best to defeat the Undead and Dark Elves before the Undead and Dark Elves broke through the fog around the island. At least, before Tyrenlok landed, they had to buy time to rush to the Barren Islands in the north as soon as possible to defend the Cain's Sword Altar.
At this time, the Elite War Council began to quarrel over how to fight and how to face the enemy. Leon and Fulgen wanted to speak up several times, but no one cared. The two of them looked at each other, sighed helplessly, and walked to the side to wait for the result.
Finnuba noticed this scene. The Phoenix King knew that this could not continue. He coughed twice and stood up, "Alright, everyone, can you listen to me?"
"Your Majesty, please go ahead." Sure enough, everyone quieted down. Although the Phoenix King was mostly a mascot, at least he still had some prestige.
"This war is very important. I see that the ministers still can't make a decision, so how about this?" Finnuba instantly changed from a Cocker Duck to a Gotha Duck. He said loudly and aggressively, "This time, I want to lead the army myself!"
Tyrion, the War Lord, was speechless.
All the members of the War Council were speechless.
All the Elven Princes and Elven Princesses in the hall were speechless.
The ministers of the Phoenix King and the captain of the White Lions, Kersil, were speechless.
The entire War Council instantly quieted down.
Then, someone shouted in a desperate tone, "Your Majesty, you can't, you can't!"
"No, Your Majesty, you are our King! Ossouin can't lose the Phoenix King! "
"Lothar needs you, Your Majesty! Please think twice! "
"Please think twice, Your Majesty! The sea war is dangerous. How can we let Your Majesty take the risk? "
The Elven Princes all got down on one knee and "persuaded" the Phoenix King not to take the risk. The Phoenix King was able to lead more than a thousand elite soldiers to fight against dozens of monsters in the Anuli Mountains. If he was the commander of this important sea war, it would be a disaster!
"Your Majesty, since you have given me full authority, please stay in Lothar and wait for the news of our victory." Tyrion also hurried to Finnuba. When the War Lord heard that Finnuba wanted to lead the army himself, his face turned green. He emphasized again and again, "Please let me arrange the war."
"But War Lord, I see that you still can't come up with a good strategy. If that's the case, I might as well …" Finnuba still wanted to say something, but Tyrion immediately turned around and said, "Enough, Your Majesty has spoken. Let's not delay any longer. Now, let's decide on the strategy!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The War Lord and the Elven Princes immediately agreed. Everyone was still scared. In just half an hour, the marching plan and the strategic goal were decided. Then, Tyrion took the plan and handed it to Finnuba. "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Finnuba took it and began to read. His state quickly changed from a Gotard duck to a Keda duck and gradually became dull.
Laing and Suria who were far away wondered if he understood.
"Let's do as Tyrion says." As expected, in less than three minutes, Finnuba returned the plan to Tyrion.
Before Tyrion could reply, the Great Mage Tegris quickly walked into the War Lord's office. He brought new news.
"There's a change in the Great Whirlpool! The White Tower Magus Council predicted that a large group of Chaos Demons will appear in the coming Witchcraft Night! "
"What?!" Everyone in the room was shocked.
"We can't wait any longer. Gather the troops immediately. In three hours, the fleet will leave the harbor!"
"Yes!"
Twenty minutes later.
"Your Majesty, the fake court has decided on the battle plan. They're preparing to leave the Lothern Sea Gate to meet our combined fleet. I've already copied the battle plan. It's right here. Their plan is like this …"
(Whispering)
"Very good. Immediately send the battle plan of the High Elves to Lord Kraken, Loxia-Fallen Heart!"
"This time, I want my cousins' Stardragon fleet to be completely destroyed!"
"This will be my first step to taking back Ossouin."
