Chapter 1071 The Miserable Phoenix King
When the dust settled, Morath was hunted by Draknir and died in a remote corner of Naggaroth, Imrik also fulfilled his promise and was crowned the Phoenix King in the ruined Black Tower of Naggaroth.
For the stability and peace of the world, to prevent the Norscan barbarians from wandering in the ocean recklessly, and to solve the rich rare mines in Naggaroth, His Majesty the Phoenix King had to establish an enclave in the cold land of the north under the persuasion of the High Priest of Val.
It was named Tar Naseen, which means the Shield of the North.
The establishment of the city is a long process. Fortunately, Malekith left in a hurry and did not burn Naggaroth. This made Masno, who became a busy man, very relieved. Finally, he did not start from scratch.
Under the instructions of His Royal Highness Draknir, Prince of Caledor, the legion led by Oliveira rushed to the Old World to protect the Dragon Tower, an important building in Duncanwald Forest. I believe that the Caledor elves will definitely give a surprise to the beastmen who like to harass human villages.
Davion was very direct. After the reorganization of the Tal Kaled Legion, he immediately declared war on the southern kingdom of Tyrell and the Border Princes. He was busy dealing with the Dragon Horn and didn't have time to teach humans a lesson. Now that he has free time, how can he miss a piece of rich land?
Bruni seemed much calmer. According to Edtalis's request, the legion he led headed for the Southland, starting from Dawn Fortress, and spread Caledor to the distant Indy and Cathay...
Now it should be called the influence of the Phoenix King.
Alaros was driven back to Athel Loren to continue planting trees. Although Her Majesty the Queen welcomed the visit of the Athel Loren elves, she also hated their barbaric and backward living habits.
I wonder if I should organize a etiquette teaching group to specifically talk about how to be likable.
Kulan and Malus were much more honest. The former actively cooperated with the Shadow King to settle the sons of Nagaryth who voluntarily returned to their hometown. The rest were unforgivable people influenced by Slaanesh and Cain.
Malus solved the problem of Zakhan for Imrik, and he surrendered to His Majesty the Phoenix King and swore his lifelong loyalty to the Caledor family.
Although Imrik had some doubts, without Zakhan in his body, whether Malus's strength should be evaluated in half.
The War Council was reorganized in an orderly manner under the leadership of Eltharion. In addition to the nine seats that were originally regular guests, Nagarys, Athel Loren and Lauren Loren were also added.
Although the Watcher himself has always maintained a high degree of independence from the Caledor family and almost did not obey orders, he had some complaints.
But... the Phoenix King is Prince Caledor's father, what can a war lord say?
The resurrected Tyrion was criticized a lot, but under the exquisite twisted concept of Imrik and Teclis, it was successfully whitewashed.
After all, he didn't kill many Asur in this battle in heaven. After the Lord of Caledor, Draknir, took the initiative to announce that he would give up the investigation of the cause of Elvis' death, the once honorable war lord now re-entered the war council as the captain of the Phoenix King's Guard.
But these big things were overshadowed by a piece of good news.
Five years after the decisive battle of Nagarythe, Draknir announced that he was going to get married.
Imrik, who was lying on the pure gold Phoenix throne, listened to the report of the civil officials with some help. He used to think that the position of Phoenix King was a troublesome matter, but now he found that it was more troublesome than expected.
When he was a prince, he just took care of various important matters in several cities in the country, and his main energy was on military affairs. After all, it was easy to have a wife to help manage.
But when he became the Phoenix King, Atira gave up and said that if there was anything, he should go to Alarielle, who was the co-lord of Ulthuan with you.
"Your Majesty, Safri hopes to increase an additional financial subsidy next year to re-lay the guide stone network in Nagarys. His Highness Aris Anar has also stated that this is true and urged the Phoenix Court to implement it quickly..."
Okay, this is indeed a very important matter, but...
I am the Phoenix King. Do I, a magic idiot, need to agree to even the laying of guide stones!
The momentary anger in my heart eventually turned into a helpless wave of his hand, "Okay, an additional 30% increase in the financial subsidy for Safri to lay guide stones."
The civil official was a little embarrassed, which might lead to insufficient budgets in other areas.
After all, there have been too many large-scale reforms in recent years, from the livelihood of various countries to education, bureaucratic and military reforms, all of which require huge financial subsidies from the Phoenix Court, which has already emptied the assets left over from the Finubar period.
He said in a tactful manner,
"Your Majesty, the guide stone network has been planned for a long time, and the additional financial subsidies will not..."
Imric, who covered his forehead with his hand, felt a little helpless. He must be rich. After all, Caledor has accumulated a lot of money over the years.
But as a father, he can't always think about the assets left to his children.
"If you don't have money, go to Etila or Draknir. Don't always tell me that the Phoenix Court should maintain a mutually respectful relationship with other courts.
One is my wife and the other is my son. Can you still watch me go out to beg for food?"
Such shameless monarchy remarks, I am afraid only Imric, who came from the military, can say.
But the words are rough but the logic is not rough. The civil officials are waiting for this sentence from the Phoenix King.
"Okay, Your Majesty, I will mention the loan to Princes Etila and Draknir. I believe that it will enable the Phoenix Court to maintain efficient and stable operation."
He waved his hand to signal the civil servants to leave quickly. Now Imrick felt annoyed when he saw the old face who only wanted money. He was thinking about the little surplus food in the monarch's hands, and he didn't know the sky-high expenses required to raise thousands of dragons.
Thinking of the food consumption that Draknir had complained about recently, Imrick couldn't help but reach out to the dragon horn. Let them continue to sleep. If this goes on, the elves will have to eat vegetarian food.
Tyrion, wearing dragon armor, walked in from outside the palace. Seeing Imrick covering his forehead with his hand, he couldn't help but gloat.
"I didn't expect that the famous Caledor Phoenix King would be so troubled by the proposal of the civil officials. I am really surprised."
What can I say? Imrick took the tea handed by Phyllis with a wry smile, "Let's talk about the guards. Those guys didn't make trouble."
"Some guys didn't cooperate, such as Du who originally belonged to the Black Guard..." After coughing twice, Tyrion changed his name, "Nagareth elves, but after seeing me, they still chose to obey."
"Yes, looking at a person with the face of the Witch King's father, I'm afraid these bugs will be scared to kneel down and beg for mercy."
Tyrion's mentality is much more relaxed than before. The experience of dying once made him start to have a sense of humor. He shrugged and said.
"I don't mind being a father in front of them, as long as they obey me."
Tyrion, who had found a glass of wine, suddenly said, "By the way, I heard that the woman who married Draknir was an Etain elf. How come I haven't heard of it before?"
"You can ask Etira about this. Draknir has been ambitious since he was a child and wants to revive the glory of the Caledor family."
The Phoenix King said with a little emotion, which caused the maid to complain in a low voice.
"Isn't it because you are too special and can't have too many heirs, so you can only place your hopes on the little prince?" (End of this chapter)
