Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 1069 Phoenix King

The ceremony lasted for a long time, so long that no one even dared to judge whether Imrik had succeeded.

Aenarion came to sacrifice himself, no one knew how long it took, and the same was true for another Phoenix King who immolated himself.

But now if someone dares to say that Asuryan's anger has burned Prince Caledor to ashes, the Flameborn Knight will immediately use physical means to let the speaker enter the holy fire to see the prince's great appearance in the trial.

Among them, Kuran's mood is the most tangled. On the one hand, he hopes that Imrik will not succeed, so that he will have no reason to surrender to him and be loyal to Malekith.

But from another perspective, if he dies, it means that Nagaros Druzi, who is already dissatisfied with the surrender, will immediately flee Ulthuan and continue to spread fear throughout the world.

This is seriously inconsistent with Malekith's last words.

The contradiction in the oath made Kuran feel a little haggard, wishing he could rush into the flames of the platinum phoenix and kill himself.

When he waited too long and couldn't bear the pain in his heart, he was about to rush in, but found that someone had already taken the lead in seizing the entrance.

Imrik rubbed his chin and asked with a little confusion: "Did you hear Asuryan's words and prepare to be loyal to me?"

Kuran was a little embarrassed for a moment, but since Imrik came out, he had no reason to go in and could only retreat slowly.

The first person to discover Imric's strangeness was Kadroin. He had never felt such a strong power of Asuryan in a person's body. Even Malekith, who had been assigned his destiny, could at best not feel the power of Asuryan. It's just Asuryan's trumpet.

But Imrik... although he seemed to be no different from before entering the Holy Fire, the Phoenix Guard Captain could feel that he seemed to be Asuryan alive.

Asuryan can't speak, which the Phoenix Guard knows very well, so the only possibility is that Imric has received the gift...

As for whether there are other possibilities... Kazuoin doesn't dare to think about it, and he doesn't want to think about it.

The remaining two hundred or so Phoenix guards all knelt in front of Imrik, bowing their heads to express their submission.

This undoubtedly shows that the Phoenix Guard has recognized Imric's identity, which is far more sacred than using the fire-avoidance spell to have the high priest declare it.

As for the second one to kneel, they are the dragon princes who have been loyal to the Caledor family for thousands of years. Their long-cherished wish for many years has been realized. Duruqi has survived in name only. The throne of the Phoenix King has once again fallen to Caledor. The dragons have awakened. .

Imric did not live up to his oath to inherit his father's throne.

The rest of the people also expressed their surrender to Imric, except...

Adira and Kuran.

Adila was a little shy. She was not unwilling to salute. Multiple identities were very common among Asul.

Compared to the awkward atmosphere when I met my husband for the first time, kneeling down on one knee was just a symbolic gesture and it was already very relaxing.

She just thought that if Imric became the Phoenix King, his nominal wife would become Alarielle.

After waiting and waiting, I still lost in this aspect...

As for Kuran, it is even more troublesome. He is determined not to kneel down to the elves except Malekith, but everyone is waiting for his attitude. It is best not to kneel, then there is reason to kill all Druzi. Killed them all.

It is not up to Kuran to decide whether to kneel or not. Drachnir made no secret of his powerful spell-casting ability in front of everyone. He pinned the captain of the Black Guard, whose knees were already weak, to the ground with just his thoughts.

After everyone in front of him expressed their surrender, Imrik smiled with relief, and after messing around with it, he still took the position of Phoenix King.

From now on, he will be more qualified to have a bad mouth. After death, will he be given the posthumous title of King of Bad Mouth due to his past deeds of criticizing others?

While he was thinking wildly, he did not forget the business and announced the Phoenix King's first edict.

"I was called by God when the elves were in danger...ahem."

He originally wanted to imitate the Phoenix King's usual tone, but the strange looks in the eyes of Adira, Dracnir, Eltharion, Arao and all the dragon princes made Imric give up this idea.

It is not a good thing to be a military leader for too long. I am not used to the official tone.

Waving his hand to signal the end of these useless words, Imric stared at the Shadow King and said.

"Aris Anar, are you willing to bring Nagaryth back to the Phoenix Court and become a part of Ulthuan as a formal kingdom?"

The Shadow King's identity was very sensitive in the past. He could only have a cooperative relationship with the Phoenix King and did not interfere in normal affairs. His relationship with the Phoenix King was at best that of brothers.

And Imric's words are undoubtedly preparing to return Ulthuan to a unified state.

"Of course, Nagaryth has always been a part of the Phoenix Court."

Imrik nodded, "Very good, you will rule the kingdom as Prince Nagaryth. This land has been devastated by war for too long, and the Phoenix Court will do its best to help."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

After finishing his arrangement with the Shadow King, Imrik prepared to give a big gift to his ally who had always provided support for so long.

"Eltharion, in the past wars, you always showed the fanatical side of the Sons of Yris, leading the proud knights of Tal Gavor to defeat the enemies of Ulthuan.

You have obtained the position of Prince Yerys from your father. I really have no title. Now that the former war lord Tyrion who drew the Holy Sword of Khaine has died at the hands of his brother Teclis, I take the name of the Phoenix King. You are given the title of leader of the War Council and in charge of the military affairs of the Phoenix Court. "

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty." Elsharion hammered his chest solemnly, but then there was some hesitation on his face, as if he had something to say.

"Please tell me something."

"Concerning Teclis, what are you going to do with him?"

This is a sensitive issue. There is still no new Supreme Mage in the White Tower of Hoth. Officially speaking, he is still the leader of Savri.

Although he jumped back several times in the middle, the final result was that Tigris killed his relatives and defected before the battle to destroy Druchi's mage position. In terms of merit, it far outweighed the mistakes he had made in the past.

But he happens to be Lilith's chosen one...it's really a headache.

"Although the Supreme Mage made some mistakes, they were all out of consideration for the overall situation. If he had not endured the humiliation to see through Lilith's conspiracy and lurked beside Malekith, it would have been extremely difficult to win this war."

Imrik did not explain how to deal with Teclis, but his attitude was revealed by his name.

Teclis is still the Supreme Mage and will not change because of some criticism.

Eltharion looked grateful. He and the Tyrion brothers had known each other since they were young. Now that Tyrion is dead, his younger brother could gain the reputation of a hero, perhaps as a way to commemorate the deceased.

The remaining thing is for Imrik to arrange how the countries will carry out post-war construction. As for how to deal with Druzi, he has not said a word.

As for whether he should kneel down to propose to the queen first, and then exercise the power of the Phoenix King after getting permission, Imric didn't bother to do too many formalistic things. If it didn't work, he would let Alarielle, who was waiting outside the temple, come in and take a look. Whose voice is louder? (End of chapter)
