Chapter 1145 The Value of Enil
When the War Council's agenda for the day was over, Marest fully realized that this was not an important organization for discussing national affairs, but a base for selling stolen goods, contacting, and colluding.
In short, Iris wanted to attack Estalia, but suffered from the weakness of cavalry and insufficient mobility.
At this time, Bella's representative, Arion, could appropriately offer support. The promises made by both parties might be land or the right to use the port terminal.
The only one that could be considered relatively detached was Avalon.
But Avalon was sitting on a piece of Athel Loren. Except for the people of Her Majesty the Queen who could enter this strange land at will, other kingdoms had almost no way to do it.
In short, except for Caledor, Terenlock, and Avalon, which were still digesting the original resources, the remaining countries were actively competing in various ways.
In the bedroom, Elvis, leaning on the sofa, looked at Marest, who still had memories of the War Council, and laughed and teased.
"Now you know why His Majesty wants you to attend the War Council for a day."
"I still find it hard to believe that the policy of the Phoenix Court is to expand, rather than to make up for the trauma caused by the civil war."
"As long as the expansion is greater than the trauma, we will make progress... Besides, war is the best way to divert conflicts. When countries are busy plundering resources, the court can easily carry out reforms."
"What reforms?"
Elvis, who let the cat out of the bag, just chuckled and did not answer his fiancée's question.
"Compared to this matter, you should think about how to deal with the Phoenix King tomorrow. As far as I know, whenever the War Council is held, he will not be in a good mood the next day."
"Why."
"Why else? He must have been upset at night. Prince Atila may have asked him to reflect on his mistakes during this period of time."
Marest is finding it increasingly difficult to understand Asur, whether it is the War Council or the Phoenix King's extremely weird marriage relationship.
From a personal perspective, his wife is Atila, but from a royal status, his real wife is Elisara.
Asur didn't care about it. It was always like this. The two majesties didn't need to love each other. They were just nominal husband and wife.
"Speaking of which, I want to go to Avalon to meet Her Majesty the Queen... She shouldn't be like the people in the War Council."
Princess Ainir doubted that if the queen was a profiteer, she really doubted whether returning to the Phoenix Court was correct.
"No, but she always stands on the wrong side... on some unimportant things."
"I think your evaluation is a bit one-sided."
"No, this is the unanimous idea of the Dragon Court, even Your Majesty thinks so. But if you want to see the queen, you shouldn't have to wait too long, she will appear."
The charlatan fiancé made Marest angry, and a pure green light bullet hit Elvis' chest, causing a wail.
"Tell me quickly, why did she appear!"
Covering his chest, Elvis felt that his fiancée might need to stay in Ossuan for a while before he could understand the extremely strange network of relationships in the royal court.
"Why else? You are the future queen of Laurent and Laurent. If the wedding is not blessed by the mother goddess Aisha, it will seem that your majesty has failed to fulfill his duty...
It is unlikely that the little queen will attend. Her Majesty should also want to see you."
"Besides, my family has a little prestige in Ossan, so it is not difficult to invite Her Majesty to attend...If you really want to see the queen, I will send an invitation to Avalon in the name of Harandur."
The princess rolled her eyes and looked down on her fiancé.
"No need to say more. I know I am marrying above my station. There are very few cases of your Caledonian princes marrying outsiders. We, Enil, are not worthy of the extremely noble son of the dragon."
"It's good to understand...Speaking of which, I still can't understand the little prince's idea. He found a wife at such a young age and wasted his youth on marriage and love.
Unlike me, who was just over a hundred years old and wanted to snatch the fire dragon flag of old Edgar and charge with a lance."
When it comes to this, Marist is a little curious.
"Speaking of which...are you still planning to return to Caledor to inherit the dragon armor? Now that Lord Edgar is old, the next standard bearer has not yet been determined, so you can fulfill your dream."
"It depends on the situation. If the little prince needs it, I will naturally return to the Dragon Palace and lead the gang of stinky boys who left the Knights to charge together.
Of course, I think Kunnier must be very envious of the standard bearer. At this wedding, I want to warn him not to have any bad thoughts. This position was left to me by old man Edgar."
"How shameless..."
The next day, Imrick came to the royal court with a sullen face. Looking at the two young people below who were as sticky as silk glue, he felt even more unhappy.
I was taught a lesson by Atila again last night, saying that his son risked his life to fight in the endless sea of sand, and you, the Phoenix King, still had the mind to slack off all day, and organized the guards to compete in his spare time. You must be "punished" well.
The fact shows that no matter how hard she talks, the princess's physical strength is still not as good as the monster, so Atila, who was supposed to attend a meeting in Lothern, was forced to rest and replaced by Filonia.
"That..." Imrick glanced to the side and signaled Phyllis to remind him quickly, I can't remember Enil's name.
The maid whispered unhappily: "Marest."
"Princess Marest, I believe that after attending the War Council, you have deeply felt the current atmosphere in Ulthuan... The Royal Court encourages all countries to be proactive and enterprising, rather than always thinking about the worthless interests in their hands.
The situation in the old world is more complicated. There are many forces entrenched around Lauren Loren. I can understand this. It is not easy for you to defend the forest.
But I still want to hear your ideas, such as what you plan to do after the formation of the legion if the command is handed over to Enil."
This is a test. Marest knows very well that she needs to give an answer that satisfies the Phoenix King, otherwise Enil's influence in the Royal Court will be extremely reduced in the future.
If it is only the second contact, she naturally cannot give a satisfactory answer.
But her fiancé is so reliable. After discussing for a night, she already understands what Enil's greatest significance is to the Phoenix King's Court.
"The Laurent Loren Forest is located in the northern territory of the Empire. It is a natural barrier against Chaos believers, but this does not mean that the Chaos barbarians in the north are not threatening.
When the Nords resist the Norse raiders, they often lack mobility and cannot react immediately, and the scouts of Midden are far less familiar with the forest than the elves.
I think Laurent Loren can sign an agreement with the two Imperial Electors to make up for each other's shortcomings." (End of this chapter)
