Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 871 722 Finnubar Time

Under the leadership of Galadrien, the Silver Helmets of the Kingdom of Arion are well-trained, disciplined, and unmatched in combat effectiveness, like a group of cold-blooded fighting machines.

Each silver-helmeted knight is as silent and resolute as a sculpture. Their courage is beyond that of ordinary people, and any fear and hesitation seem insignificant in front of them.

In stark contrast to Galadrien is Ethirion Windseeker, who is known for his unrestrained and uninhibited nature, and is a bohemian nobleman who pursues freedom. He believes that as a true noble, one should not be restricted by the constraints of the palace, but should be as free as the wind, patrolling the borders and protecting his people.

His tactics are extremely original, and his raiders are known for their extremely fast raiding tactics. Every action is as precise as lightning, catching the enemy off guard.

Compared with these two nobles with different styles, Firahair Glowmane is more low-key and complex. Unlike other nobles of the Eri, when Finnubar returned from Elsin Arwen, the two sides had a brief contact.

Because… Felahair’s grandfather once lived in Cole Imamore, Laurent.

During the War of Vengeance, the Dwarves laid siege to Kor Imamor and the settlers were scattered. Some fled to Tal Litanel, while others abandoned all that was in Elsin Arwen and returned to Ulthuan. Firahair's grandfather chose to return to Ulthuan, but lost the family sword on his return, which was a heavy blow to House Glowmane.

The sword is a symbol of the noble house of Asur, and without it, the house can never truly regain its former glory. Although after years of restoration and revitalization, House Glowmane has once again returned to the political stage of Ulthuan, but still feels regret and pain, and has never been able to move forward to a higher political position.

With such emotions, Firahair came to Finnubar, trying to get information about Kor Imamor from him and find the lost family sword.

However, Finnubar did not provide any useful clues. He did not tell Felahair anything about Cole Imamor, nor did he intend to reveal any information about Nayadalin to him.

This was completely meaningless and of no practical benefit to Finnubar.

He knew that the Kingdom of Arion was the core force of the traditionalists, stubborn and stubborn. The whole kingdom was filled with a conservative and stubborn atmosphere. No matter how it struggled, it could not break through the deep-rooted constraints, and its political stance was naturally opposed to his.

Although Felahair's family had a strong background, in his opinion, such noble connections and friendships were not worth any price he had to pay for them.

To put it more harshly...

He no longer looked at the Arion Kingdom camp, but looked to the other side, at Lirazel.

Lirazel is the current Everqueen's chief lady-in-waiting.

Her appearance was full of contradictory charm. Her long hair was draped wildly under her helmet like a black waterfall. Her narrow amber eyes exuded a cold light, as if she could see through all appearances and see the deepest darkness and secrets.

Once she was enraged, she was like the cold edge of a sword, chilling people to the bone. Her cold beauty, like the dusk, concealed an unspeakable threat that made people's blood freeze.

Although her skin was bronzed from living in the forest for many years, her breath always had a pale and dead feeling, as if her vitality was relying on some external object to maintain it?
This cold temperament is both the source of her strength and the reason why people around her can never get close to her heart.

There was no doubt that she was here because she represented the will of the Eternal Queen. As the Queen's chief maid, she was a symbol of power, and every time she appeared, she would attract attention from the outside world, especially in such a tense meeting.

In addition, Lirazel is not just the Queen's spokesperson. There are unlocking conditions for becoming the Eternal Queen's chief maid. She herself represents a kind of power. Her status in Avalon and her own strength make her a political figure that cannot be ignored.

As for Istrana, she is like Kosir now, she has not yet made a fortune and become the chief handmaiden of the eleventh Everqueen Alarielle.

Unlike other kingdoms, Avalon has its own unique social structure. Families are called "kinsmen". These kindreds gather together to form a unique clan structure with deep connections and trust between members.

All Asur are drawn to certain common ideals, which allow them to form strong networks of tribes. As the interests of the elves change over time, there is great mobility between tribes, and everyone has the opportunity to choose to join or leave a tribe as they wish.

In addition, within these groups, there are smaller groups called "neighborhood gangs." These neighborhood gangs are formed based on specific tasks and needs, usually composed of elite elves within the family, to perform some family or clan-specific tasks and missions.

It can be said that Avalon’s neighborhood gangs, ethnic groups, and kinship structures are the key nodes in the social network, like the bloodlines and veins of the elven society.

The Asrai's neighborhoods, tribes, and clans are an enhanced version of the social structure of Avalon. (Chapter 446)
But unlike the social organization of the Asrai, the family leaders of Avalon rarely appear outside of Avalon, especially in external political occasions.

Unless... the Everqueen emerges from Avalon.

This is why Lirazel is the only one here from Avalon's side.

Then, Finnubar's head suddenly shook wantonly. That posture was neither the reservedness of an Asur noble nor the calmness of a political veteran, but more like a poet who suddenly fell into some uncontrollable emotions.

His action was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly disrupting the originally tense atmosphere in the entire parliament hall - awkward and dull, every breath of air condensed into substance, making people breathless.

The reason for this strange situation was not complicated. Belanna stood behind him, like a sharp sword piercing the back of the traditionalists. Many traditionalists began to look uncertain, and some even felt uneasy, even though there were no seats available.

For a moment they didn't know what to do, as if they were standing on the edge of a cliff, and would fall into the abyss if they wavered even a little.

Let the situation that has changed instinctively return to its original starting point.

At this moment, Finnubar suddenly laughed. It was an extremely strange laugh, neither gentle nor arrogant. Instead, it carried a hint of ridicule, a trace of relief, and even a bit of inappropriate joy.

He remembered the time in Nagarond when Dacus, who was drunk to his heart's content, slapped the table and said with a smile: "Who is in favor, who is against?"

At that time, everyone laughed and used that joke as the topic of conversation for the night. But now, this sentence suddenly echoed in Finnubar's mind, like a string plucked by the finger of fate, clear and loud.

Maybe... now, he can also say this sentence?
"I want to be the regent! Who's for? Who's against?"

Well, that's too rude and has no elegance at all.

In addition, he was well aware that doing so would immediately trigger fierce arguments and severe protests, which might plunge the entire parliament into an uncontrollable storm, or even lead to war?
Just like...but no matter what, the final result is irreversible.

Certain major trends have already started, and no matter how much resistance there is, it will only be a delay, not a change.

His gaze turned to the camp of the Kingdom of Safri. Standing there was Ashantiel Lightweaver, a great wizard with an eccentric temperament but extraordinary strength.

Unlike other great wizards, Ashantiel was born and raised in the Safri, where he grew up in a land where sunlight and magic intertwined. He was good at light magic, using the dazzling magic light to burn through the darkness, and he had turned the tide in battle many times.

However, unbeknownst to Finnubar, in one timeline, Asanteel used magic to defeat multiple war hydras led by Rakkas.

This forced Lakas to turn back to Moras for cooperation and strengthen the behemoth through Deha.

But now these two people...

Sadly, Ashantiel's final fate was a tragedy, as he committed suicide by jumping from the top of the White Tower. The Swordsmen of Hoeth conducted a year-long investigation into the matter, discovering the ancient and mysterious Rune of N'su on his bed, but other than that, the investigation was at a dead end.

This great wizard who walked in the light was ultimately unable to escape the shadow of a certain fate.

Finnubar's gaze shifted to another direction, and when his eyes met Aurelian's, the latter nodded slightly, responding to the barely perceptible eye contact.

The reason they had this interaction was because... they were relatives, and Aurelion was the daughter of Finnubar's wife's sister.

Aurelian had stunning long pale hair and violet eyes, and she looked like a priestess of Lilith walking out of the moonlight, rather than a great wizard.

She spoke elegantly and in a soft tone, but the arrogance that came from her blood was always difficult to conceal, as if she stood above all others simply because "she was supposed to be so."

According to the original arrangement, she, not Fenrir, should be the mage representing Safri in the Asur delegation.

However, she always looked down upon humans, seeing them as a burden and a source of filth, and believing that cooperating with them was a blasphemy against the dignity of the elves.

But fate never slows down because of someone's arrogance, but will respond in the coldest way. Molaig never showed mercy, and for Aurelian, her fate was destined to be intertwined with blood and fire.

"For seven thousand years we have fought the Dark Gods. Our strength will not fail on this distant battlefield. This battle must be won, and you will all go down in history as the greatest warriors of your race! Crush the darkness!" - Aurelian to the Asur army during the Siege of Tarabheim.

During the Great War Against Chaos, she was sent by Phoenix King Finnubar to Elsin Arwen to support humanity in its fight against Chaos.

There she met Drucci, but the scales of fate ultimately tipped in her favor.

The army of the Duruchi sorceress Liles was completely destroyed, and when the winner stood in front of the loser, everyone thought that the cold silver-haired elf would end Liles' life, but she chose to forgive.

"To let a person live to bear the shame of failure is crueler than death." - Aurelian explained.

Afterwards, Aurelian and her cousin Prince Kralanos assisted the young Imperial general Stefan von Kessel in clearing out the remnants of Chaos.

However, fate showed its fangs again.

During a raid, Kralannos encountered the great demon of Khorne, Thorgar the Bloodslayer. The battle was like hell again, and Kralannos fought to the last moment, but was finally slain by Thorgar's bloody blade.

That day, the battlefield was covered in blood and Aurelian witnessed the death of her loved ones with her own eyes.

Aurelian then led the defense of Tarabheim alongside Stephen against Solgar.

After the victory, she stayed in the empire for a short time, but was hunted down by her old enemy Liles, and the sorceress mocked her for no longer having the protection of the army.

The duel between the two strong men was like a meteor hitting the sky, brief but fierce. In the end, Aurelian was exhausted and defeated by Lilaith. But even after falling, she still glared and roared with her last breath: "Witch King, never dare to get your hands on the Phoenix Throne! Your insignificant victory is meaningless!"

But that's all for another timeline, now...

Aurelian and Kalannos stood side by side in the council hall, their sleeves fluttering and their faces calm. Liles worked under Vedel, the leader of the magic support group of the action team, helping the action team deal with the mess and rotten things in Naggaroth.

A characteristic of Asur society is the intricate network of blood relations. The relationships between nobles are so complicated that almost no one stands alone.

Since Aurelian and Kalannos are cousins, Kalannos is naturally related to Finnubar.

Therefore, the nods between each other, although seemingly polite, also reveal the ubiquitous family network in the political ecology of Asur.

Finnubar then turned his gaze to another person - Archmage Asheris. The two nodded again, a familiar understanding between blood relatives. Asheris was his aunt's daughter and also his relative.

But compared to these family labels, what is more amazing is Asherys's own strength. Her magical attainments are so high that they are outrageous.

In a very rare confrontation, she once faced off against a Changeling Demon Lord!
What is even more shocking is that she did not rely on rituals or legions, but relied solely on her own magical strength to face the great demon that possessed chaotic wisdom and crazy power head-on!

And he won! What the hell is this?
Now, she stood in the parliament hall, her robe fluttering in the wind, her eyes as calm as still water, but her sharpness could not be concealed.

The atmosphere in the parliament hall became increasingly tense, and a storm was brewing. (End of this chapter)
