Chapter 1013 Give up Fantasy and Prepare for Revenge
"Do we...really want to surrender to Imrik?"
A long silence was followed by words that broke the atmosphere.
Apparently some people didn't think that with the Everqueen's intervention, Aslay would be safe from contact with the Prince of Caledor.
The brave man raised his eyebrows and looked at Lord Samuel, who had always been a thorn in the side since the Woodland Council.
He didn't want to explain the complexities too much. Who would want to surrender to an arrogant prince if they had a choice?
"Pay attention to your wording Samuel, Aslay did not surrender to anyone. We only followed Queen Ariel's will to join the Phoenix Court. If the conditions proposed by Dracnir are true, Aslay also has the right to run for Phoenix. Qualifications of a king."
Samuel smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said with great helplessness, "Alaros, don't cover up the truth with some nice words. We all know the final result of the battle between Asul and Druchi Phoenix King. If Imric wins, the Phoenix The position of king will be subject to the monopoly and dictatorship of the Caledor family."
"Then it makes sense for you to ask this? Can we reject Queen Ariel's will and return the Eternal Queen who guarantees Athel Loren's normal reincarnation to Ulthuan? Can we reject the desire to avenge the two majesties? .”
"..." Samuel lowered his head in silence, and finally closed his eyes and shook his head slowly, "No."
"This is a realistic situation. We can no longer escape the fate of the elves being divided in the old world." Aralos emphasized and enlightened everyone, "Besides, I believe you have heard Lord Dais's guarantee, so we might as well let him Tell Aslay what to do next.”
Dais's identity is very mysterious. This is well known to Aslay. Since their grandfather's grandfather, they have heard the story of the Starlight Forge Lord. Countless magical weapons were forged from his hands and protected every warrior who guarded the forest. .
The Lord of the Starlight Forge has been silently guarding Athel Loren for thousands of years. No one has ever seen his face age, and no one has ever known who he is.
Dess, who was sitting on one side, looked very calm. He certainly understood that after Orion and Ariel left one after another, Aslay had lost his guide, and he could only guide these children.
Samuel did not deny Aralos's point of view, but merely asked Dice a question.
"Lord Dais, who...are you?"
Dais smiled slightly, as if he was very happy by the child's words. He looked at Samuel with his eyes covered with black cloth, as if he could look directly into the fierce and brave soul from the endless darkness.
"You have already guessed the answer, why ask me to say it again."
Samuel's tone was a little stammered. Although he already had some ideas, actually saying them was another matter.
The only possibility for Caledor to have such respect from a seemingly unrelated person is that Desce is the incarnation of their most respected god.
Queen Ariel's entrustment to Dais before disappearing seemed to confirm this speculation.
"Are you Val's incarnation?"
"Yes, I am the incarnation of Vaal in Athel Loren." Dais nodded in approval, and these words made the atmosphere in the wooden house boil. He thought that with the protection of the blacksmith god, Caledor would naturally not dare to How about Aslay.
But Dess poured cold water on her without hesitation, "But I am not Val, just like Ariel is not Aisha. We are just a trace of the will left by the gods in the mortal world."
Samuel spread his hands and asked in confusion, "But, but this is enough. With you here, Imrik will definitely consider it carefully when dealing with Aslay."
"Yes, he will indeed consider it carefully." Dai Si sighed inexplicably, which made everyone feel puzzled.
"But the blacksmith god Caledor believes in is not the same as me. The Dragon Kingdom will respect the Starlight Forge Lord as the incarnation of Vaal, but will not choose to believe in it. They have found another possible path."
Dess smiled wryly and shook his head, indicating that this topic was a bit far-fetched. All he had to do was suppress Aslay's paranoia of being persecuted and provide him with a belief in joining the Phoenix Court.
"There is no need to think too much about the hidden dangers of joining the Phoenix Court. I can guarantee that as long as Asrai does not do anything stupid, Imric will fulfill his promise to treat the sons of Athel Loren as his people."
Some people want to question it, but after Dais revealed his identity, it seems that thinking too much about it is an insult to the gods. Although Vaal is not powerful in the elven pantheon, he is still a god, far more important than some insignificant lords in Athel Loren. Have authority.
Seeing that the Woodland Council was almost convinced by Dais, Araloth used the aftermath to start arranging Athel Loren's affairs.
"Samuel, you need to take the Wild Forest Rangers to patrol areas where dark spirits may still exist. Murti leads your relatives to pay attention to the movement of greenskins in the gray mountains to the north. Bamusir sets out to the mountains to the south, but not Fighting with cold-blooded lizardmen, I feel that the Skaven may take advantage of the chaos to attack Athel Loren..."
"Send a diplomatic mission to contact the empire. If the beastmen war group marches towards Athel Loren under the orders of the Chaos Gods, the Sons of Sigmar need to fulfill the contract signed with Queen Ariel and destroy the creation of Chaos in the land of Bretonnia... "
"Withdraw the rangers who attacked the rebels in Bretonnia, and tell Ed Capet the information about the Holy Grail Church. We need to eliminate Lilith's threat to Athel Loren as much as possible."
Lord Tasain arranged everything for Aslay in an orderly manner, but when it was his turn, he seemed a little hesitant.
"I will let the army in Nagaryth pull back to Avalon..."
"Where are the Twilight sisters?"
"They want to lead the Ariel Frontier and the Sisters of Thorns to avenge Druchi for His Majesty."
The keen-minded Samuel frowned and considered it for a while, thinking that this was a good opportunity. Everyone could see that the two majesties of Ulthuan were made by Imrik, rather than putting their chips on the promise he had made to Ariel. Alarielle, who had promised, might as well play an active role in this war, so as to gain a say for Athel Loren's position in the Phoenix Court in the future.
"You can take revenge on Druzi with Sister Twilight. Assur cannot make the same mistake again and let the life of the Eternal Queen be threatened by Druzi."
"Yes, yes, but..." Alaros hesitated for a long time, but still did not go on.
He was afraid, afraid that Lilith was indeed the murderer who conspired with Morath to murder Orion as Imrik said.
He wanted to hide in the lush forest of Avalon, huddle under the tree roots and wait quietly for everything to end. Maybe he would feel sad because he couldn't accept it in the end, but it was better than facing the goddess he still admired on the battlefield.
"Araros!" Samuel growled, "You are now the leader of Asrai, give up those useless illusions! The continuation of our race is far more important than your pitiful emotions!" (End of Chapter)
