Chapter 1272 The Guard's Symbol

When the five hundred guards gathered and officially arrived at the Imperial Army Camp, Kurt could hardly remain silent.

During the summit, speculation about the strength of the Phoenix King's guards never stopped. The Empire was most familiar with the Flame Knights... because only the eyes and proof of this group of elite dragon princes.

The general guess is that without exception, they are at least the strength level of the Inner Ring Knights, but if the existence of dragons is added, it is another matter.

Fortunately, the number of Flame Knights is too small, and it has been maintained at 60 people all year round, so that the Empire can barely let down some of its vigilance.

Although the rest of the people accompanying the Phoenix King have received a lot of attention, they seem too far away from humans.

The Phoenix Guards, Black Guards, and White Lion Guards usually only appear in the war between Asur and Druz, and there is almost no trace of their actions in the Old World.

And the Eternal Guards of Asrai have terrible rumors only in Bretonnia.

Therefore, when a group of well-equipped warriors with a strong aura entered the military camp, the soldiers on both sides were extremely nervous.

The leader, Kulan, rode a horse wrapped in black armor, and his tall figure looked particularly cold against the sharp armor.

They were one of the few troops that were able to retain their original organization. Although the selection system was changed with the intervention of the Shadow King, there was no terrible scene of matricide, but in exchange, Kulan had more cruel training and standards.

The black guards, who were very different from the holy and gorgeous style of the Elf King's Court, were like the shadows of the Phoenix King passing over the ground when he soared, and they mercilessly killed all enemies with cold flames.

Compared with the coldness of the black guards, the Phoenix Guards seemed much more "ordinary". They walked without making any sound, and subtle light floated around their bodies, protecting Asuryan's choice from weapons and magic.

The indifferent sentinels looked at the people in their eyes in an absolutely rational way and evaluated whether there was a threat...

"A guard that makes people feel awe." Carl did not hide his praise. The emperor naturally had a close guard, all of whom were the best among Rick's guards.

Although he wanted to compare with the elves, he still thought there was a small gap. After all, the Rick Guards were actually established less than two hundred years ago, and they still needed time and experience to accumulate.

Baiershaze, who was manipulating the magic ball, agreed with the emperor's words: "Your Majesty, I once heard an elf professor's evaluation of the Phoenix Guards at the Aldorf School of Magic."

"I am very interested in this, please tell me."

Bailshaze twisted the perspective of the crystal ball, focusing on the Phoenix Guards, and told the emperor what he had seen and heard in turn, fully demonstrating what over-understanding is.

"Phoenix Guards, silent sentinels, their cold will is a manifestation of the power of the elven creator, and their indifferent hearts only obey fate, symbolizing the absolutely ruthless side of the Phoenix King.

Black Guards, cold killers, ruthless training and training have cultivated a group of executioners, eager for killing and pain, symbolizing the cold will of the Phoenix King.

Flame Knights, proud knights, the sense of honor given by their noble birth, make them always eager to fight against the strong and revive the family honor with bloody lances...

White Lion Guards... the guardians of order and tradition. As for the Eternal Guards..."

Baiershaze hesitated slightly: "It may be the nonsense of the elven wizard, who thinks they symbolize the madness suppressed in the heart of the Phoenix King."

This kind of mystical analysis makes Karl Franz feel very interesting, but Kurt has no interest in listening more.

"Your Majesty, since the Phoenix King's guards have arrived, we can launch a counterattack. It is difficult to find a suitable shooting angle at the eastern rift, which is just right for the elves to show their abilities."

After a while, when the quartermaster arranged for the elves to enter the prepared tent, Kulan refused with a cold face.

"Take me to see your emperor."

The quartermaster looked confused. It was normal for you to go to see him, but did the group of guards behind you just stand there and not move?

Seeing that the quartermaster did not respond, Kulan repeated in the imperial language: "I want to see your emperor."

The dark elves have a bad reputation in the empire. In recent years, there have been cases of looting from Bretonnia from time to time. Occasionally, some mistakes have caused the God-blessed evil party to accidentally rob the imperial ships.

This put a lot of pressure on the quartermaster, especially the halberd in the hands of the elves in front of him. I don't know if the red light on the sharp blade is due to too much blood or magic ripples. Anyway, it is definitely not something to be messed with.

In a short while, Kulan saw the human emperor who was highly expected by the Phoenix King... and two sissy generals wearing flashy armor.

"Welcome, Lord Kulan."

The emperor could adjust the reception method according to the personality of the visitor. According to his observation, Kulan must be a person who does not like smiling faces.

Instead of showing goodwill, it is better to get straight to the point and arrange the tasks.

Kulan nodded lightly and placed the Scarlet Death on the wooden frame of the tent, but kept a distance that could be touched at any time.

"I am ordered by the Phoenix King to lead the Royal Court Guard to support you... Delayed and inefficient military operations, during which the monarch of the empire, Emperor Karl Franz, has the right to dispatch the guard."

The emotionless order and slightly contemptuous words made the atmosphere in the tent a little awkward.

This is also one of the reasons why everyone dislikes elves. The Phoenix King is easy to talk to. As long as you can explain the original and explain the reasonableness, you probably won't get a bad look.

But most of the people under the Phoenix King continued his bad temper in the past, and most of them were the worst side...

Seeing that Carl did not respond, Kuran continued: "My purpose here is only to win this war. You have delayed too long, short-lived ghosts."

Carl and Kurt looked at each other. I didn't expect Kuran to be so direct and make the main point clear at the beginning. I thought Imrick would also put forward some hidden conditions.

Is this because the elves are afraid of the dwarves and think that watching for too long will affect the relationship between the two tribes?

Kurt's eyes said so, but Carl only shook his index finger imperceptibly, indicating that there is no need to speculate too much.

The emperor pointed to a crack area on the right side of the entrance to the Gray Mountains on the sand table map: "The orcs have caused a lot of trouble for the imperial army. Relying on the advantage of the terrain, the stronger orcs rushed to march, and the night goblins took the opportunity to pour out of the cave.

We successfully repelled several attacks, but the progress was also delayed. I wanted to lead the Altdorf Royal Griffin Guard to clear them out so that the engineers could build a cover line..."

"Inefficient!" Kuran did not hesitate. He had seen the danger and importance of this crack. If it could be successfully cleared, the road to Karak Dreadnought Fort would be much smoother.

"How far is it from here to the canyon?"

"Two days' journey."

After evaluating the scale of the sand table, Kuran gave an accurate answer.

"Five days later, you will have a safe and smooth road." (End of this chapter)
