Chapter 384: Enemy In
Silvermoon High Court, the letter sent by Catherine arrived in the hands of the current Elf King.
The young Elf King read it carefully and then sighed, "This damn lich! He actually threw a lot of work to my sister Catherine! He ran overseas by himself, isn't he afraid of being eaten by a siren?!"
A vicious idea came to the mind of the young Elf King, who suddenly wanted to lead his troops overseas to stop the lich and purify his soul. But this idea soon disappeared. Now the two sides were in a cooperative relationship, and no matter how much hatred there was, personal grudges could not be placed above the gods.
However, in the imperial capital of Ryan, the news that the lich had gone to sea also reached the little emperor.
At first, it was just a caravan returning to port, passing through Ryan, and brought news of the ongoing conflicts overseas.
Then, after much inquiry and speculation, some people with ulterior motives found evidence that the lich number one on the wanted list had gone out to sea and was plotting something at sea.
Ryan is different from Silvermoon High Court. They can't sit idly by and watch this lich cause trouble again.
Not to mention that doctrine makes it impossible for them to remain indifferent to evil. Just the last time Ambershu exiled the Kingdom of Unholy Hymns, it directly led to Ryan's great defeat.
How did the astral passage just happen to appear on the battlefield between the two armies? Anyone who knows space magic knows how small the chance is, and only a prophecy wizard can accurately locate it.
So this was a new grudge and an old one, and the empire decided without much discussion to send a team of elite troops to sea to attack the lich.
Since all previous expeditions had ended in failure, this time they sent out the real Knights of Judgment.
The young men who went to cause trouble for Ambersu last time could only be regarded as rookies of the Knights of Judgment. This knight order specialized in targeting legendary liches had a huge number of legends.
This time, five holy warriors and two priests of light led the team, a total of seven legends, who were determined to purify this lich.
After the Knights of Conviction set off, the little emperor returned to the empty palace.
The previous killings had left the entire palace empty, and the little emperor had recently begun to learn magic under the guidance of the dragon tyrant. The Mage's Hand was the first trick he needed to practice, so he even drove away his servants and used the Mage's Hand to solve everything.
They say that they are sinners and should not enjoy any more.
This action made many people nod in agreement, and the little emperor's apology was truly sincere.
At this time, the little emperor was controlling the wizard's hand to dance with the sword. However, his concentrated control could not make his wizard's hand stable, and the long sword was shaking as if it was under an illusion.
Finally, the magician's hand dissipated, and the little emperor couldn't help but curse: "Damn it, what's the point of me practicing this?! Even if I practice for a hundred years, I can't even match one ten-thousandth of the power of time!"
A deep voice came from the Dragon Armor: "I am not as good as I was before. Even in my prime, I am still no match for Arthur Ryan. Do you want to be beheaded like me?"
"But I have no talent at all!" the little emperor said in despair.
The power of time is so useful, it is basically invincible. Why is he practicing magic? It is useless.
But Arteros would not indulge him. He said firmly: "If you don't have talent, make up for it with hard work. You want to be the last emperor of Ryan, an immortal emperor. You have enough time to practice. If a hundred years is not enough, then two hundred years. If not, then five hundred years. One day you will achieve something. By then, you will not be afraid of Arthur Ryan."
The little emperor still said impatiently: "Arthur Lane is dead!"
Atreus said more seriously: "But his successor has appeared, my lord. If you continue to be lazy, you will die. Now I am one with you, I will not harm you. If you do not believe me, it will be too late when the sword is at your throat."
The little emperor was startled and asked quickly: "Heir...Are you talking about Alan Watson?!"
Artros replied, "You see, I didn't need to remind you of that name. You know what Alan Watson did, don't you?"
The little emperor immediately clenched his fists.
Alan Watson has done so many things. In the first war, it was this traitor who made nonsense remarks and made Ryan's army unstable.
Later, he jumped out to be a good guy and killed those dragons to cover the army. As a result, many people now believe that Alan Watson did not commit treason. Some people also said that such talents should be summoned back quickly to serve Ryan.
After all, Alan's feat of blocking dozens of dragons alone was too shocking. After the death of the Silver Moon Knight, the people of Ryan urgently needed a powerful paladin with outstanding achievements to serve as a role model.
The little emperor was thinking at the time that now was not the time to split up and had to grit his teeth and endure it.
Who would have thought that Alan Watson would actually refuse and write a report of tens of thousands of words, bitterly decrying the spread of Ryan's extremist ideas over the years, which led to Ryan violating the teachings of the Lord of Dawn. This time it was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, and it was not clear enough.
This report summarizes many examples, all of which are Allen's personal experience. The evidence is very detailed and can prove that Ryan is being corrupted by extreme ideas and has reached a precarious point. Allen asked the emperor to immediately start to rectify the chaos, to re-establish normal beliefs, and to punish those parasites who use extreme means to gain benefits.
The biggest pest is the Ryan royal family.
If the young emperor had not been ruthless enough, the Ryan royal family would have "died to atone for their sins", and Allen's report would have pushed Ryan to the point of division.
However, Allen was also considered to have ulterior motives because of this "radical" report. In the final analysis, isn't it that the current policy is wrong and someone should be replaced to make it again? Whether the belief is extreme or not is determined by the arbitrators. Isn't the meaning of Allen's report to invite his father to come back and be the supreme judge?
The new Supreme Judge expressed his opposition at the time and pointed out Allen's selfishness in a loud and emotional voice in the court.
If the previous one came back, wouldn't that mean that he wasn't doing a good job? Sitting in that position, power would involve many things, and even a priest who believed in the Lord of Dawn would be confused at times.
This kind of verbal battle that cannot distinguish right from wrong is constantly happening, and it occurs in almost every meeting.
The little emperor now hates Allen to death. It was a good opportunity for him to sacrifice his relatives to win back the hearts of the people, but Allen ended up making him unable to do anything about it.
The little emperor said excitedly: "Although Alan Watson is troublesome, what makes you say he is the successor of Arthur Lane? After so many years, even if he puts up this banner, others will not recognize him."
Artros sighed and said, "He doesn't need recognition from others. I can see that Alan Watson is just like Arthur Ryan back then. He will follow the same path as Arthur Ryan. Your Holy King was just a wandering paladin in the past. He didn't have the achievements and family background of Alan Watson, but he finally cut off my head.
"What about you? Do you think you are as good as I was back then?"
Atreus' question silenced the little emperor.
No matter how arrogant he is, he would never think that he is more powerful than the Dragon Tyrant. He is now alone and the only thing he can trust is this set of dragon weapons, while the Dragon Tyrant had the support of the entire dragon clan.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Thinking of this, the little emperor regained control of the wizard's hand, grabbed the sword, and began to practice with full concentration.
Atreus breathed a sigh of relief. This kid was really no good. He had a weak will, was ambitious, and was cruel and ruthless. It was purely by luck that such a person became emperor. It was almost impossible for him to govern the country well.
However, Artros didn't really want Ryan to revive.
But Ryan can't break down right now, he needs more time.
"My people, your king will be back soon, so please be patient and wait a little longer." Atros' mind sank into the depths of the dragon's armor, where there was a heart beating slowly like a star.

The news that Amberxiu had gone out to sea seemed to have wings and spread quickly. Whether intentional or unintentional, various details could be heard from various places.
It was as if there was an invisible big hand constantly controlling public opinion and spreading the news further.
On the island, Amberxiu also encountered the first group of opponents who came to cause trouble. Interestingly, the first group of people who came to cause trouble were not Amberxiu’s enemies, but the group of Gisyanki.
If we really want to count the grudges, Ambershu only used the power of the Dragon Tomb to kill a group of Githyanki. They had no conflicts before, and even the astral portal was opened with the help of Ambershu.
I just didn’t expect that the Githyanki would be the first to arrive.
Looking at their appearance, they seemed a little embarrassed.
The Githyanki once had a high-spirited army of a hundred thousand men, with dozens of red dragons.
And now, there are only 20,000 Gisyanki riding on Isi rays cruising on the sea, and there are only ten astral red dragons left in the sky.
This must be the work of Gareth and his men. I forgot to ask about their results these days.
Now seeing the miserable appearance of the Githyanki, it seems that Gareth has successfully rescued his father-in-law and severely taught these outsiders a lesson.
The distance between the two is getting smaller and smaller, and in a few minutes, these Githyanki will be in front of Ambershu.
Withered Rose has been accompanying Amber these days. When she saw the Githyanki coming, she asked, "Should we wait for them to come up and die, or..."
Amber smiled and said, "No hurry. I haven't had a good talk with these Githyanki yet. This is still our territory. As the master, we must always be polite first. If these Githyanki don't want to pay the toll, it won't be too late for us as the master to teach them a lesson.
"By the way, to ensure that we stand on the moral high ground, remember to turn on the magic mirror and let my friends see the whole story of this battle."
Amberxiu flew into the air and soon saw the red dragons flapping their wings flying towards him.
