Chapter 1271: Kulan Goes to Battle

"I like you...Karl Franz." Elvis closed his eyes slightly and looked at the emperor with an admiring attitude. His back was turned to the two generals and the academy's grand tutor, and his tone was sarcastic.

"Your attitude has made me vaguely have a better impression of the empire. It is not easy for a pragmatic person to emerge among a group of sycophants and flatterers..."

The elf suddenly became very leisurely, without the urgent look just now. He was looking for some food in the tavern, took an armchair to the sand table, and sat opposite Karl.

Taking a sip of... wine that might have come from Bretonnia, Elvis waved his hand, signaling the emperor to turn his attention from the sand table to him.

"So Karl, how did it feel to spend some time with the Phoenix King? Your father and grandfather did not have this honor, being able to communicate with the elven monarch for a long time."

"The Empire respects your monarch, and I will not express useless opinions about our allies."

"That's it?"

The silent Karl argued that he did not believe Elvis. For many years, the empire, dwarves and elves have maintained a relatively harmonious state, expressing support for each other, but there is a distance.

"It doesn't matter." Elvis smiled, thinking that Carl's move was not right, but it was definitely not wrong.

"Many years ago, when I first arrived in the empire, I was surprised by the ignorance and backwardness here... You are a little better than Bretonnia next door, but only a little better.

Exploitation, oppression, deception, conspiracy... are everywhere. Magnus ended your stupid and dark era of division, but he still cannot escape the limit of lifespan. The three generations of Rickland have been conservative kings, and they can only make up for it. The trauma of Turk IV.

Reik took the lead in Marienburg, but was also jealous of the chosen emperors... Espes's support was not out of her original intention, am I right, Grand Master Baelshazer? . "

The metal mage remained silent. He was not very interested in communicating with the elves. Talking more would reveal problems. The best way was not to talk.

"I'm optimistic about you, Karl Franz. You have the potential to revive the empire, but only if..." Elvis pointed to his temple and said a reminder: "You should believe that an ally who cares too much about gains and losses will not It will please people... I brought twenty dragons, which is enough to show the sincerity of the elves."

After Elvis stood up, his eyes glanced at Kurt's cheek: "Lest some idiots think that the elf's favorite thing is to watch the show from the sidelines and is unwilling to shed blood for his allies."

The Grand Master was about to leave, but after turning around and walking a few steps, he heard the emperor's serious voice.

"etc!"

"Explain what you have to say, Emperor Karl Franz."

Carl stared at Elvis for a long time. He seemed to have treated the Phoenix King the same way he treated the Elector, so much so that he was reminded by a person who had nothing to do with politics.

There are countless ways to win the friendship of the elector, including solicitation, inducement, disputes, but they seem to be very different from the elves' ideas.

"After the war, the Reik Guards will select an elite team and lead the imperial army to join the expedition to Norsca. The empire will spare no effort to destroy the enemies of Sigmar and wipe out every remnant of chaos that is close to the civilized world."

The seemingly unrelated topic allowed the two to reach a consensus.

Elvis nodded lightly: "I will convey your words to the Phoenix King... I believe that you will see the elf's most elite warrior in the near future."

…………

After a while, Imrik, who learned of Karl Franz's determination, rubbed his cheek and thought about whether Elvis's behavior was too strong.

"Your Majesty, how should I reply to Elvis?"

The herald North, who had been waiting for a long time but did not get an answer from His Majesty, suddenly reminded him.

This is a rule that His Majesty himself said a long time ago. If there is no answer to a matter after ten minutes, then interrupt the thinking.

"Deploy some of the Flame Knights, Phoenix Guards, White Lion Guards, Black Guards and Eternal Guards to obey Karl Franz's orders... It's just Karl Franz, not Kurt or Luther. Vig.”

"Where's the number of people?"

"Arrange it yourself. It's best to go together. I can go back to Altdorf to sleep and wait for the good news of victory."

The joking did not make the herald take it seriously. He thought about the number of accompanying guards and made a suggestion.

"How about five hundred people? At least half of the guards should be left here to avoid offense from green-skinned and beastmen without eyes."

"Hmm...who do you recommend to lead?"

This is a troublesome question. North shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't dare to judge your guards...but Lord Creon will definitely not obey Emperor Karl's orders, and Kazuoin will not consider anything other than battle. In the end, A good choice is Kuran.”

Letting a Druchi represent the Phoenix King would have been unthinkable in normal times. Everyone knew that Kulan only surrendered to His Majesty out of his duty to the Druchi, and it was by no means a sign of loyalty.

But there is no doubt that Kuran's ability is impeccable.

"Then Kuran, I hope my Black Guard Captain will not create too many surprises for the emperor."

When Kuran learned the news, he was forced to stop his work on studying the physiological structure of the beastmen, thinking that the Phoenix King's brain was cramping again.

"Repeat the order. The Phoenix King requires me to lead half of the guards to support Karak Dreadnaught and obey the orders of the human emperor."

"Yes, Lord Kuran, this is your Majesty's order."

North looked as usual, not paying any attention to Kuran's indifference.

"Boring orders." With such an evaluation, Kuran put down the evil book written in human skin, took the reshaped scarlet death halberd, and prepared to recruit people to fight.

The composition of the Phoenix King Guard is very complex. When Asur was the main body, it was supplemented by the elite forces of Druz and Asrai.

The weakest among them... is generally believed to be the White Lion Guard. Originally, Asrai's Eternal Guard was a strong competitor, but as the Wild Cavalry gradually awakened, they were blessed by Kunos and Val, and the rough men who relied on a woodcutter's axe to conquer the world gradually lost their voices.

When Kuran was looking for people, he got straight to the point and ordered half of the people to go without hesitation, but there were some problems with the Flame Knights.

"Dragon, I need a dragon, not thirty mobile plate armors riding donkeys."

Creon was stunned, and then he was a little angry. Even if the Flame Knights rode donkeys... horses, they were undoubtedly the elite of the royal court. Why did Kuran say that they lived on dragons when he was the one to talk about it?

"No dragons. All the dragons of the Flameborn Knights are required to stay in Ulthuan when they travel this time."

Kuran did not comment. He did not believe that the Flameborn Knights did not have some backup means to travel with the Phoenix King to the Empire without dragons.

"This is your business. I want to see the dragons in two hours.

Remember, this is the order of the Phoenix King."

Crion's face turned blue and purple. Usually he winked at the black guards, but this time he was caught off guard.

"Five, but I will only send five Flameborn Knights."

"Okay, dragons are much more useful than you." (End of this chapter)
