Inside the Belmond Hotel in the outskirts of Lotharn, Sulia was fully armed. She had the Sword of Lyonasai on her waist. The beautiful Knight Queen was walking around the room impatiently.
Lilith, who had been staying in the hotel, had set off for the Kingdom of Safray to assist Tegris in protecting the White Tower of Horus.
The entire hotel had been taken over by the Old Guard's three battalions. There were soldiers everywhere. At first, the Old Guard was nervous, but Suria realized that under the protection of the magic barrier, it was almost impossible for the enemy to attack through the walls and the guards. So, Suria ordered 300 people to patrol outside. The rest of the Old Guard rested in the hotel without taking off their armor.
Gao Jing's attitude towards the Brittany changed drastically after the naval battle at Dragonfjord. They took the initiative to send rich food and even gave the Old Guard three months' pay (in the name of reward) on behalf of Suria.
Sulia didn't want to accept the money at first. She felt weird about it, but Lilith persuaded Sulia to accept it as a gift from her. Only then did Sulia accept it.
Now, Knight King was restless in the hall. Even though the Old Guard was patrolling outside, she could not sit down and rest patiently. Instead, she paced around the room.
On the other hand, Olica was very relaxed. She did not even change into her combat clothes. She was still wearing her favorite black-and-white lace maid costume. But because the weather was getting colder, she put on a black woolen coat, which made her look quite charming. Olica was cleaning the room. Seeing Suria's restlessness, Olica smiled. "My lady, you don't have to worry. Have a good rest. The Chaos Demons will not be able to attack Lotharn, at least not now."
"Why are you so sure? Olica? " Suria's sea blue eyes stared at Olica who was cleaning the room. The female knight was eager to get some valuable information from the mysterious dark elf maid. "What are you going to tell me?"
"What I'm trying to say is that it's useless for you to be anxious, madam." Olica put down the magic broom in her hand. The dark elf heaved a sigh, but soon said with a smile, "You don't know Asuyan. Even Lilith doesn't know her."
"So you know him very well?" Suria was intrigued. "I'd like to know who you are and how much you know about the elven gods."
"Ah Suyan has died many times, Madam." Olica smiled sweetly, but her voice gradually turned cold. "Do you know why the first Phoenix King, Alarion, kept asking Asuyan for help during the Chaos invasion, but there was no response?"
"Why?" Suria thought that she really didn't understand Olica.
"Because at that time, Asuryan had already been defeated in the Highest Heaven (Primal Chaos Realm) and killed by the Evil God." "It was Alarion who sacrificed her life and soul to Asuyan's Holy Flame," Olica said coldly. "That was how Asuyan was resurrected!"
“！！！” Suria's eyes widened. The female knight suddenly realized something. "How could that be? I thought …"
"Asuyan can indeed resurrect infinitely, and she doesn't care about the safety of the world because she has already carved the fate of the world into Asuyan's Flaming Phoenix Pyramid." Olica seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with her. "But no one cares, and no one reads it carefully. Everyone, including Asuyan's believers and Phoenix Guards, actually expected Malecis' betrayal, and how to deal with the Final Moment was also part of Asuyan's plan."
"If the fate of the world has already been decided, then what's the point of our resistance?" Suria asked.
"Asuyan is only the God of Creation and the Creator. He can reveal the beginning of fate, but he can't control fate. That's Lilith's domain. Asuyan reveals the beginning, and Lilith is the thread that changes fate." Olica nodded. "Now you know why Lilith and Asuyan like to cause trouble all day long, and why Asuyan likes to live in her Phoenix domain and not leave for 7,000 years?"
"Then what does this have to do with Laing's safety?" After hearing this, Suria only felt that Olica was talking nonsense, but the smart Suria quickly understood. "Wait, you mean, including Laing and Forgen stealing the Phoenix Mantra Scroll, is all in Asuyan's prophecy?"
"Hahaha, that's why I like to talk to you, madam." Olica smiled sweetly. "Compared to you, Morgiana is always arrogant. She never listens to anyone except Laing and Lilith. Veronica is only a little smart, but fortunately, she loves Master very much. Emilia is very intelligent, but she never spends her energy in this aspect. As for the mother and daughter, one is a stupid and cute girl who immerses herself in studying magic, and the other is a typical witch who thinks about how to put more meat in her bowl all day long."
"Got it." Suria closed her eyes and nodded. "Well, I will wait patiently. Thank you for telling me so much, Olica."
"Madam, I have a suggestion." Olica said to Suria. "Are you interested in watching a good show with me?"
"A good show? At this time? "Suria was even more confused." You mean, we should go out now? "
"Yes, if we don't go out, how can we watch a good show?" Olica licked her lips. "Are you sure you don't want to go with me? Madam? "
"…"
About 30 minutes later, in a small high elf palace in the outskirts of Lotharn, the Palace of the Sea of Dark Light.
A small party was going on. A few elven nobles were drinking and enjoying the delicious food and wine. Even in the middle of the night, even in the middle of the witchcraft night, even under the constant mobilization of the city guards of Rosseln, they still enjoyed the party.
Suria and Olica observed from afar under the protection of magic. The female knight was soon shocked by the identities of these people.
Seven cabinet ministers of the Phoenix King Finnuba were gathered here!
"What are they doing?" Suria vaguely thought of something. The female knight looked at Olica in disbelief. "Could it be …"
"That's right. Among these cabinet ministers, there is one of our spies." Olica pointed at the few people who were enjoying the party together and said to Suria, "Wait, I will ask them to take action in accordance with the Witch King's strategy and force the Phoenix Guards of the Flaming Pyramid to attack."
"Spies? Who are they?" Suria was even more afraid of Olica's terrifying power.
"The Phoenix King's Minister of Internal Affairs, Cassian. This is the Cain Sect's spies."
"The Phoenix King's Minister of Commerce and Office, Hilafine. This is the Pale Queen Sect's spies."
"The Phoenix King's Minister of Finance, New Dreier. This is also the Indulgence Sect's spies."
"The Phoenix King's Minister of Justice and Chief Justice, Gondier. This is the Witch King's spies."
"…" Suria felt that it was a miracle that Finnuba didn't suddenly die.
However, although these cabinet ministers were famous, they were essentially Finnuba's personal aides. The power of the country was in the hands of the High Selection King's Council, and the War Council was essentially the High Selection King's Council's standing committee.
"These guys don't actually know about each other's existence," Olica said with a smile. "In fact, in order to win Finnuba's trust, each of them worked very hard. This ensured that Finnuba was safe and ensured that he had an efficient team of aides. The open and covert struggles between them are not only harmless to Finnuba, but also beneficial."
After a while, another High Selection Minister came in with a lame guy. Suria recognized them. They were Minister Charles and De Talleyrand.
"Charles is the old witch Morasi's man," Olica said a terrible fact, "I just learned about it."
"What about De Talleyrand? Is he also a spy? "Suria's scalp tingled.
"No, he's just a dish carrier." Olica shook her head with a smile, "He doesn't know anything. He's just a poor guy who wants to squeeze into the High Selection Society. Rather than saying that he's a member of the Bennister Family, it's better to say that he's a member of the Bennister Family. I'm guessing that he must have received the Bennister Family's appreciation for his good hospitality last time. That's why he had the opportunity to attend this banquet."
"Then what should we do?" Suria frowned. There were seven cabinet ministers in the Phoenix King's Court, and there were five spies!
"We're not going to do anything. We're just going to send a notice that we can start the operation." Olica took Suria's hand and said, "We can go now, my lady, if you don't want to be suspected."
… I don't have any spies …
Normally, it would take three days and three nights to sail from the inner city of Lothar to Flame Island with an ordinary Elven boat.
Yes, it was that far, but they could see Lothar from Flame Island. It was a magical place for the ancient saints.
The speed of the two original bodies, Ryan and Fulgen, was not something an ordinary elite sailor could compare with. In fact, not long after entering the sea, Ryan had used his own psionic energy, and the small boat had crossed the entire sea area at an incredible speed.
A few hours later, Flame Island was in front of them.
A small island emerged from the inland sea in front of the boat. It looked like a volcano, with palm trees covering some of the hillsides and a small number of terraced fields dotting its sides. At the highest point of the island was a huge stepped pyramid. The symbol of the Phoenix Lord Asuyan and the Eye of Asuyan, which shone with the Phoenix Fire, were at the top of the pyramid on the island. This eye covered in flames was always looking around, monitoring everything nearby.
The heavy rain of Witchcraft Night covered the entire Flame Island, and the sea was covered with thick fog, making it difficult to see the situation clearly.
As the boat gradually approached Flame Island, Laing whispered to Fulgen, "Brother, there are many guards at the dock."
"Well, it seems that they also know the horror of Witchcraft Night." Fulgen looked at the situation at the dock. Several Phoenix guards were leading hundreds of militia to guard the dock, and the dock was lined with statues of the Phoenix King. "There are too many people. We can't deal with so many at once. We have to think of something."
"Shh!" Laing carefully rowed the boat. He looked around in the dark and shook his head. "The Flame Pyramid has one or two thousand Phoenix guards like this. Ever since they swore to be loyal to Asuyan, they have not said a word or made a sound. Instead, they have been silent forever."
"Silence is boring. My fallen children love noise the most." Fulgen rowed the boat. The king's son geno prototype thought for a moment and said, "There is a small palm forest over there. Why don't we row there and hide?"
"That will be difficult. There are guards there." Laing looked around. He suddenly noticed that there were many sentries on the side of the palm forest near the sea, but there were none near the beach on the other side. Knight King suddenly had a good idea. "Brother, have you heard of sailing on dry land?"
"Yes. It does not sound very friendly to me, the Purple Phoenix." Fulgen thought of that, too. He smiled and said, "But I know what you mean. You are right. It is time to show these old, stubborn, and conservative Asuyan believers what a new dynasty is all about."
"Let's go." Laing used his spirit power to wrap up the entire boat.
Dong! A muffled sound came from Flame Island. A few Phoenix guards went to check it out.
On the long beach on the other side of the palm forest, there was a boat that was about 15 feet long. It looked like it had been washed up on the beach by the waves. What was surprising was that the boat went along the beach for 200 feet. It went all the way to the palm forest at the foot of Flame Island's Phoenix Pyramid. It created a big hole.
“？” Looking at the small ship, a fully armed Phoenix Guard wearing a Phoenix Full Body Armor, a Phoenix Flame Cape, and a Phoenix Feathered Helmet looked at it in confusion.
“。” Another Phoenix guard bent down and checked the hull of the boat. He confirmed that it was a civilian boat used by the elves, and there were no footprints on the beach.
"!" The Phoenix guard touched the hull of the boat and found that the bottom of the boat was intact. "?"
"…!" The remaining Phoenix guard seemed to have understood something. He pointed at the chaotic sky and the fog outside and made a gesture to his companions.
“√！” The other two Phoenix guards nodded. They lifted the boat together and walked toward the dock. The remaining Phoenix guard looked around cautiously. After making sure that there was no one on the beach, he chose to leave. "…"
The tall and grim Phoenix guards quickly left, leaving behind a peaceful palm forest, swaying in the heavy rain and strong wind.
Two hours later, a huge fire suddenly rose in the direction of Lotharn.
At the top of the Phoenix Pyramid, the captain of the Phoenix Guards, Cadjoin, who was personally appointed by Asuyan, frowned and looked at the situation in Lotharn.
The capital was not attacked by the Chaos Demons. Why was there such a huge fire?
At this moment, Karjoin sensed a strange aura.
It was the power of the Pale Queen, the highest god under the Kingdom of the Underworld. The chilling and terrifying power, as well as the desire for souls, made Katjoin shudder involuntarily. He suddenly remembered a female dark elf that he captured 30 years ago. He wanted to kill her, but Asuryan's will made him let her go in the end. He exchanged her for Prince Yerian, the son of Finnuba, who was exiled because he rashly entered the graveyard and ended up in the Marlinburg Talent Market.
This time, he could not let her go! The captain of the Phoenix guards finally made a decision.
Bells rang all over Flame Island. Under the silent order, Ka Zhuoin summoned the Phoenix Guards. Several dozen Phoenixes flew into the air from where the Phoenixes were resting. A moment ago, the sky was still raging, but in the next moment, the flames of the Phoenixes dyed the sky a bright red.
The Phoenixes formed a triangular formation, carrying thousands of Phoenix guards. Under Cadjoin's lead, they flew toward Lotharn.
Flame Guards, attack!
