Chapter 455 The Wood Elves Interfering with Naggaroth
Addie straightened her expression and left her husband's arms.
"Isn't this normal? You have to know that for Asul, they don't care what you did in Lustria in the old world. Defeating the Witch King is the greatest achievement imaginable."
"As for blushing, I'm not, just, just."
Hesitation appeared on Adira's face. Seeing this, Imric checked the body temperature and found that there was nothing wrong, so he could only ask,
"Just nothing."
"I just feel a little angry at the thought of marrying someone like you who doesn't know any sense of humor."
Adila snorted coldly and turned her gaze back to the stage, trying not to reveal anything unusual.
Who doesn't want to marry a hero? Imric is already famous not only in Ulthuan, but also in the old world, not to mention Lustria.
Just when Imric was about to start a debate about whether he was funny or not, the ring on his hand suddenly shimmered.
"Okay, let's see which fool is trying to disturb Princess Adira's leisurely life."
Imrik spread his hands and immediately pulled Adira to leave.
The theater couldn't last any longer. Ulthuan had a special fondness for heroism, and artistic groups that valued the needs of the people above all else were happy to meet those needs and line up their pockets.
I really don’t know how these people were able to perform such artistic processing. Obviously, the battle process will only appear in paper reports that are sealed and preserved.
The next game seems to be Agthel's battle against Anaheim. We must not let this scene appear in our eyes.
After activating the magic of the bracelet, he received a message from Elvis.
"Prince, there is news from the Shadow King. There are urgent matters that need to be discussed with you."
News about the Shadow King?
The two people who learned the news looked at each other. Aris couldn't be too comfortable on the battlefield of Nagaroth. Since the wedding eight years ago, the Shadow King has not appeared in Ulthuan once, and he regards Naggaroth as his hometown.
Except for occasionally asking Imric for supplies and manpower, most of the time he led the Shadow Walkers to ambush Druzi. There was no reason to send a message when the final preparations for the siege of Krakarond were underway.
"Go back first, it doesn't look like it will be a good thing."
"Um."
Adila, who understood that the matter was not simple, also knew that she could not stay any longer, so she used the magic stone she had with her to have the carriage driven over, and immediately returned to the palace.
Adira, who returned to the palace, said that she still had some unfinished business, so she went back to the office to finish the documents. In fact, she was leaving some space for Imrik to let her husband and the Shadow King finish talking.
Imrik, who came to the study, activated the high-power magic communication device that had not been used for a long time, allowing the relay mage to connect to the Shadow King.
Soon, the shadow king's half body appeared on the table, his stern face as usual. Judging from the dark background, it should be located in the woods of a mountain range.
"What's in such a hurry?"
Without much pleasantries, Imrik, who knew very well who the Shadow King was, decided to go straight to the point.
"Morath, my informants in Grond told me that Morath intends to search for the lost Crown of Hockt in the Iron Mountains."
"What's the result?" Imric knew that this matter must have failed, otherwise the Shadow King would just hang Moras's head on the gate of Tal Al'lek, leaving his body to wait for the fall of Naggarond. At the Black Tower, commemorate this.
The Shadow King twisted his body, and he could feel the murderous intention through the magic communication. He seemed to be very angry about this incident.
"A group of dryads finally rescued Morath."
The words were brief, but the amount of information contained in them was surprisingly huge. Imric stepped in and stood in front of him, squinting his eyes and thinking for a moment.
It is difficult for Druchi's living environment to have a life-based warlock. Even if he can find a Nurgle-based warlock, the possibility of finding a Nurgle-based warlock is higher than that of a life-based mage.
It is not an easy task to get the dryads out, let alone rescue Moras with the firepower of the Shadow King. The strength of these dryads is not simple. There must be someone behind the scenes. The greatest possibility is Wood Elf.
Only they can cultivate a dryad that can withstand the Shadow King's firepower, and use the roots of the World Tree to rescue people.
Imrik felt that this matter was a bit complicated and planned to ask the Shadow King for his opinion first.
"What are you thinking? Those green springtails seem to have no reason to participate in this war. This is not in line with their usual style."
"I don't know, the idea of these green springtails is hard to explain logically, and you know what happened in Elion a thousand years ago."
Imric recalled for a moment, and quickly remembered what happened a thousand years ago during the Titris period. Athel Loren's god-king Orion, who had severed contact with Ulthuan, brought his wild cavalry and a large number of bloodthirsty knights. Aslay arrived at Airion and attacked without any explanation.
As the incarnation of Kuros, the real beastman was the god that Elion worshiped most at that time. As a result, he didn't even have the courage to resist, and his blood almost flowed into a river.
"Indeed, if this happened in Caledor, if Orion could walk out of the Dragonspine Mountains alive, I would go to the old world and burn Athel Loren on the spot." Imric mocked Allion for being spineless, He didn’t dare to mention this matter at all and continued to ask Shadow King,
"Your spy network in Naggaroth should know the inside story about what Orion did after that."
"The news I got is that Orion led people to Grond at that time, and Malekith allowed these wood elves to wreak havoc in Naggaroth. As a result, Orion retreated after capturing Grond, leaving only half of the A city in ruins.”
The Shadow King recalled the past. He never expected that Aslay would get involved. Although the ambush of Moras this time was just an attempt and there was not much certainty, he actually caught a big fish.
Imric tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table. He didn't know much about the wood elves, but if they dared to interfere in the war between Assur and Druzi, they would have to pay a price.
Fenubar adopted a gentle and supportive attitude towards the Bozoans, and sent troops to support the beastmen fifty years ago when they attacked Athel Loren. The leader was Odd, Prince of Charis.
Recalling the report submitted by the Dragon Prince who participated in the support battle at that time, it was the brave Araloth who fought with Prince Oud on the battlefield.
The two sides worked together to repel the beastman army, but due to excessive losses, they ended up being responsible for each other. The celebration banquet was not held, and Ulthuan's reinforcements left directly.
He stood up and rummaged through the bookshelf for a report on the current situation of the wood elves. Imric quickly found what he wanted to know.
"The Lord of Tarsain Wood, Araloth the Brave, as far as I know, this man is Lilith's divine choice, and he is also Ariel's divine choice champion."
Although he didn't know why Imric mentioned this young man, the Shadow King still nodded, proving the authenticity of this matter.
"Since he has information about Lilith, as the divinely chosen champion of Ariel, he must also know the secret behind why a group of dryads rescued Moras."
Looking at the Shadow King whose eyes were gradually shining, Imric told his plan,
"After Krakarond was captured, the strategic goal was to retreat to Desolation Fortress and wait for an opportunity to solve all the problems. But if you want to find this green springtail, my people are not good at tracking. You shouldn't mind helping. Do me a favor."
"Wild Hunt is the best opportunity. With his status, he will definitely separate from Orion and look for prey alone. But you are not worried about Orion and Ariel's revenge at all?" The Shadow King teased a little, preparing to take what happened to Ariel. Give an example.
"If he dares to bring the so-called Wild Riders to Caledor through the roots of the World Tree, I will let him know that the Dragon Horn is much louder than the Wild Hunt Horn. As for Ariel..."
Imrik shook his head to express his disdain. In his hand, he held a first-generation Slann, five second-generation Slann, and Teclis, who had already obtained the title of Supreme Mage. It was Ariel who came to look for trouble with the Oak of Ages on his shoulders. The butterfly wings also had to be broken.
Araloth, the elf with the same face as Asuryan, and Lilith's mistress, if Teclis can still try to win over him because of his outstanding ability, then this brave man is a thorn in his side.
"If necessary, I will make these Asrai understand that except for the protection provided by that forest, it is best not to interfere in other places." Imrik closed the report and put it back on the bookshelf. Although it is not known why Aslay rescued Moraes, the fact has happened, which has had a considerable impact on the battle situation. In fact, he may be helping Drucci.
"After dealing with this war, I will return to Nagaryth." The Shadow King did not say it clearly, but it seemed that he planned to go to the old world to capture Araloth.
After the communication video ended, Imric began to think about Aslay.
If the duality of elves is unabashedly revealed in Asur and Druch, then Asrai is the balance of the two.
Asul's arrogance, arrogance, and vanity, and Druchi's bloodlust, rage, and conspiracy, can all be found in Aslay.
I had never paid attention to these green springtails before, because I thought they had no value in terms of strategic deployment.
The top characters are Orion, Durthu, and Ariel. The remaining ones are Cordir, who is half crazy, and Daicha who likes to play some tricks.
The Twilight sisters, who are respected as Ariel's military leaders, are just that in their own eyes. The strength of the army is good, but the number is too sparse, and once they are at a disadvantage, it is difficult to defend Athel Loren unless they are guarding Athel Loren. The courage to fight to the end.
Loyalty is difficult to guarantee, and in the process of foreign wars, the morale value can only be used to fight weak chickens and guerrilla warfare. Once the situation does not develop as expected, the woodland lord who cherishes the lives of his fellow tribesmen can order a retreat first without feedback from the soldiers.
The only ones of any value are the forest dragons, but compared to Caledor's organic dragon troops, the number of these green-scaled dragons is too scarce.
Comparing the lizardmen, or even the lizardmen, the empire's anti-chaos attitude is much better than these real barbarians who do not engage in civilization construction and only know how to hunt and destroy towns.
There is no benefit in taking action directly. Caledor's strategic focus has never been south of the Gray Mountains.
But this kind of attitude of interfering in important wars is to beat the odds, otherwise you really think that if you stay in Athel Loren, you don't have to think about anything and use the so-called method of balance to control the world situation.
"This is a bit of a headache. The relationship between the three elves is not easy to deal with. Besides." Imrik stood up and rummaged through the files on the wood elves.
After rummaging for a long time, I finally found what I needed. After opening it, I couldn't help but wonder, "I remember, shouldn't all these people be dead? Why is there still a family in Tasain?"
Looking at the comparison of the heraldry between the fire-breathing yellow dragon and the spray-green dragon on the yellowed paper, Imrik became even more puzzled.
At that time, there was a family of dragon princes who stayed in the old world and were responsible for covering the retreat of civilians at the end of the Longbeard War. But they didn't expect that they would follow them to Athel Loren.
The prince at that time ordered these people to come back quickly, but unexpectedly, the dragon came back, but the people did not come back.
He said that he had given up his status as a Caledorian noble and was preparing to spend his life in the forest. The subtext was that he had given up his oath of allegiance to the Dragon Tamer family and instead worshiped Orion, the incarnation of Kuros.
At that time, the angry prince was directly expelled from the country. If the losses in the Nagasu War had not been too heavy, he might have personally led the army to burn them to death.
With their inheritance in Caledor, this dragon prince family is one of the few elves that can communicate directly with the forest dragons. However, in Imric's eyes, they are just a group of traitors holding the knowledge inherited from generations of Caledor.
"The Dykson family, well, maybe it's time for them to know what the consequences are for breaking their oath."
Imric put down the file and chose to contact Elvis, "Contact Fenuba, I have something to discuss."
