Chapter 1096: Lord Kraken's Loyalty
Loxia...the Admiral of the Tower of God Bless the Evil Party, and the Kraken Kraken Lord who fought a bloody battle with Aislin, the incarnation of Marcelan, in the sea of Ulthuan...
Many names are used to describe the terrifying dark elf ocean leader, the world plunderer, the trend-setter, the Tiger of Indy, the owner of the ruins of the Golden City... But no matter which one they are, they all symbolize Loxia Corrupt Heart. Terrible power.
When he took over the ancestral Black Ark and plundered the ocean, in just a few decades, it traveled to every corner of the world. From far away Cathay to Bretonnia, every coast waiting to be plundered experienced divine blessings and evil. The baptism of party slogans.
But even so, the scarlet eyes under the terrifying Kraken's helmet still showed fear of the elf on the throne.
Under Tyrion's gaze, Loxia put her hand on her belly, slowly lowered her Kraken helmet, which symbolized the predator, and bowed in greeting.
"Your Majesty the Phoenix King, your servant Loxia has come with greetings from the Sea Man."
"Lokesia..." Imric narrowed his eyes and looked at the legendary naval admiral. Due to the time difference, Corrupted Heart had not yet defeated Aislin, but this did not mean that Lockia was a small role.
In fact, in the two elven civil wars in the past century, the reason why Ulthuan did not dare to give it a go was partly due to the Druchi maritime fleet commanded by Loxia.
Unlike Malekith, who was eager for success, Loxia knew clearly that Assur could not bear the consequences of the seaside towns being reduced to ruins. After sending the army to the island, they harassed the east and west sides of the outer ring.
Regardless of the intensity of this harassment, just from the two wars in which the three eastern countries had to work together to resist the maritime fleets of Druchi and Norska, we can understand how difficult the God Blessing Evil Party is.
But this was not because Imrik summoned him. In fact, it was Loxia who took the initiative to meet with the Phoenix King.
"Sit down. Although I really want to kill you, you must have the same idea."
Loxia sat noncommittally on the luxurious gold chair brought by the guards. His deep voice was like ocean waves rolling on the land, from which he could feel endless chill and coldness.
"Your Majesty, according to your instructions, the God Bless Evil Party has executed all the black dragons and sent their remains to Caledor..."
"Do you have any objections to my order?" Imrik's voice was cold. Dealing with the black dragon is something that cannot wait. Any trainer involved in the dragon matter will be executed, and Loxia's beloved mount The wave whirlpool is also one of them...
Loxia did not panic. For someone who had served the Witch King for many years, he was already used to Malekith's intermittent fits of madness. Although Imrik's attitude was bad, he could not break the promise he had made.
As long as Druzi doesn't cause trouble, the Phoenix Court will not take the initiative to attack after it has been purged once.
But is it possible that Druzi doesn't cause trouble?
"The price of failure is something that every Druchi should bear in mind. How to deal with the black dragon is up to His Majesty."
Tyrion emphasized, "There is no Druchi now."
"Haha." Loxia's laughter was sarcastic, and the golden octopus tentacles on his vertical chest could be seen trembling with the naked eye, as if he was very happy by Tyrion's words.
"What is the price of your failure, Tyrion, from an honorable war lord to a mere spectator sitting on the sidelines of the Council?"
Tyrion was always firm towards Druchi's attitude. He slowly drew out the small half of the Yanyang Sword, and the entire hall could clearly feel the temperature increase.
"Perhaps I can make you realize again how costly failure is."
Imric rubbed his brows. He didn't want to kill Loxia. The value of God's blessing to the leader of the evil party was very high. If Kuran could make Druchi willing to bear some price in exchange for the chance to live.
Then Loksia is one of the important bargaining chips for Druchi to survive. The Royal Navy is not suitable for doing troublesome things. The Phoenix Court logo of the Cosqui and Itain navy is too strong. Only Druchi’s black Ark can bypass many restrictions and serve as the Phoenix King's dirty glove.
"Tyrion."
His Majesty's words made Tyrion sheathe his sword, and the sonorous sound of metal friction came out along with the power. He stared at Loxia, and just one thought could make Lord Kraken drink blood on the spot.
But after all, a warrior is a warrior. Tyrion is a qualified commander, but he is not a political creature with a sensitive sense of smell.
The reason why Loxia dared to come to the Phoenix Court alone was because she knew her value to Imrik.
Although the Royal Navy is powerful, it is not flexible, and the God Bless the Evil Party can do many things for His Majesty the Phoenix King.
"As you can see, Your Majesty the Phoenix King, Druchi's encounter in Ulthuan was not as popular as expected."
The maid who stood quietly beside the Phoenix King maintained the same attitude as Tyrion and said coldly, "Do you still want us to welcome you with flowers, music and dance?"
"Tyrion, Phyllis, get out." Imric said he was a little tired. He could understand this feeling. If the Phoenix King were another person, he would still be the Dragon Prince. He would rush into the Phoenix King's Court and surrender without saying a word. Druzi was killed.
But the problem is, I am the Phoenix King.
Regarding the safety issue, the two of them didn't think too much and just gave Loxia a cold look.
After the irrelevant people left, Imric was finally able to talk properly.
His Majesty, sitting on the throne of the flaming phoenix, stared into the scarlet eyes of Lord Kraken, "What do you want, Loxia? Don't be stupid and make some requests that make me feel ridiculous."
"In exchange for my loyalty, I will give Druzy the power to continue plundering the ocean." Loccia looked at His Majesty without showing any weakness. He was tired of the days of interrogation. A man on the sea would not stay in one place for a long time.
"Druzi's loyalty? Although I want to laugh, I know you are telling the truth."
"The Royal Navy can solve your military problems, but for a monarch to gain a long-term rule, the army is only a means.
Authority, honor, power, majesty... these are all means, and Druzy can make up for the missing link for you - fear.
There is no need to elaborate on the era when the God-blessed Evil Party declared fear on the ocean. The only reason you did not make a decision was fear."
Imrick was not angry at Loccia for pointing out that he was afraid. He leaned against the throne with his legs crossed, with interest.
"Interesting, continue."
"You are worried about Druzy's loyalty, not his ability. The Blessed Evil Party are predators that chase the coastline. We kill the weak and take away the wealth, life and resources that they deserve.
And you need an executioner to use fear to announce the majesty of the Phoenix King to the world..."
"Heh." A black jade chess piece of a giant octopus appeared in Imrick's hand, rubbing the surface as rough as salt.
"You are smarter than Malus and know your own value. The Blessed Evil Party will be restarted..."
Loccia's scarlet eyes began to flicker. He knew clearly in his heart that the price to gain a certain degree of freedom was not cheap.
A chess piece was thrown into the hands of Lord Kraken, and His Majesty the Phoenix King said so.
"Bretonnia Lyonness, this is your first stop."
Loxia's mind flashed with doubt, but when he pinched the chess piece and looked at it intently, he only saw a burning dragon in his eyes.
It's not quite accurate to call it a giant dragon. The wings of this giant dragon, which is white and gold in color, are a pair of sacred objects made of the holy fire of the phoenix.
The chess piece melted in his hands and flowed into his blood vessels through the leather gloves. Loxia could feel some changes in his body...
"The Kraken is just like this..." (End of this chapter)
