As for how Iroh was sure that Alfred would definitely choose this time to do it, the reason is not complicated.

As analyzed earlier, the royal capital has been dominated by the king and the three nobles for decades, forming a very stable situation. If one of them makes a move, the others will unite against the other side - although this sick stability has hindered the speed of the country's development, it must be said that it has also kept Alfreddy from having a chance to do so.

But now it's different, the old king has just died, and Prince Asaph's faction and Princess Bella's faction, supported by Hopus and Tuttle, have transferred a large number of men to fight for the throne in the Temple of Inheritance. And because Iroh took in Noele, even the Star Venerable took some of his attention away from Alfred's body during this time.

Don't think that the Star Shadow Venerable only has a few envoys from the Iron and Stone Tribe, in fact, as the leader of the Silver Dragon Clan, his background is far more than that. What's more, Alfred is a thorn in the side of the metal dragon, and among the five great Venerables, it is not only the Star Shadow Venerable who wants to deal with him.

The combination of several factors has caused the minions of the metal dragon clan to be almost all over the Western Continent. Even if Alfred, with the power of his transfiguration talent, made it impossible for the metal dragons to locate, they could still search for it in the most primitive way.

That is to monitor the major cities in the western continent with a large number of eyeliner.

Unless Alfred really hid in the mountains and cut off from the outside world, he would soon attract the attention of His Holiness as long as he made any changes.

It is conceivable that when the battle for the throne is at its most intense, the huge impact will inevitably affect the eyes of the metal dragons throughout the city, thus causing them to temporarily relax their surveillance in this regard.

In addition, he had long chosen to stand with Iro, Bella and others, naturally out of consideration for making his movements justified.

That's the main reason why Alfred waited until now to do it.

It can be said that the water in the royal capital has been completely muddied on the day the old king died of illness, so Iroh, who also saw this, dared to conclude that he had a chance.

And when it comes to when Iroh reached an alliance with Enid, it is necessary to talk about the arrangement of the mastermind behind Enid, Grand Duke Jon.

This was clear to Ves, as the meeting between Iroh and Enid had happened an hour before the palace had changed. At that time, Vis had just become familiar with some basic etiquette and common sense of human society in Ello's residence. As he walked down the hall to tell Iroh that he was ready, he noticed the voices of a man and a woman talking in the hall.

With his heart tightening, Weiss instinctively suppressed his intention to show up, and silently hid behind the door to listen to their conversation.

"Count you as acquaintances. The woman's voice was full of pride, and Weiss even felt that she was no worse than himself in this regard, "But I'm curious, how can you be sure that we will form an alliance with you, and not stab your plans to my sister?"

"Oh, that's easy. ”

Iroh's voice was as calm as ever, "Your Highness Princess, Grand Duke Jon doesn't seem to be that impulsive person. At least he won't easily turn against me until he's sure he's going to swallow up Falkenridge once and for all, or find a better collaborator than me. ”

"That's why I hate you, you remind me of Bella. Enid was a little displeased, but she was obviously not stupid enough to understand the general situation, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to someone with a scheming mind like you." In short, you remember, if you can't hold the Inheritance Temple, it means that you don't have the strength to cooperate with us - the killer group arranged by Grand Duke Jon outside the city will be dispatched. ”

"Of course, feel free when the time comes. ”

There was a distinct smile in Eloh's tone, as if he hadn't heard the murderous intent in Enid's words at all.

This conversation now seems to be undoubtedly a small victory for Ello: at this moment, the entire city is shrouded in Alfred's barrier, and there is no way to communicate between the city and the outside of the city, and Iroh has successfully led the messenger of the Ironstone Tribe to Alfred's side.

So......

The last point that needs to be explained is how Iroh got Kyrol and them to shift their target.

To explain this, we have to start with the moment when Carlyle died in battle and the gates of the Temple of Inheritance were breached.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, the heavy door was blasted open, and several figures gradually emerged in the scattered dust and smoke.

The head of the body surged with the power of wind and thunder intertwined with cyan and purple, and his eyes were like icebergs that could not be dissolved. Behind him were two women and a man, a total of three orcs - it was clear that the leader was the strongest, as the three behind him looked very embarrassed, as they had just survived a great battle.

Further back, there were three humans, two men and one woman, who looked slightly better than the three orcs, but still inferior to the leader.

"Priscilla, Daisy, Farr......"

Iroh watched them quickly surround him, Vess, and Noele, and raised his hand slightly to signal the two dragons not to make a move, and then looked at the intruders one by one, "Lulu, Fetztier, Claire, ......"

"—and Carol. A few are welcome. ”

As if completely oblivious to the weapons and killing intent aimed at him, Iroh smiled and spoke, just like a nobleman would greet every day.

"That's right, this person is Noele. The moment the tiger orc-man retinue Farr caught a glimpse of the silver dragon mage, he was slightly stunned, and then immediately whispered to Kairol.

"You, then, are Count Elo. Kairol nodded faintly, his gaze still fixed on Iroh, "This boy behind you is the new king?"

Iroh smiled again, and instead of answering, he bowed slightly towards Vess, the meaning of which was already self-evident.

"Uh, I ......"

Vis was about to say something, after all, it was the first time he had seen Iroh salute him, but then his mind cleared up and he hurriedly swallowed the words back into his stomach.

In today's situation, the slightest mistake may be the end of total destruction......

Vis didn't have anything to do on his own, so instead of messing around, it would be better to see how Iroh responded.

"Rest assured, none of us have any intention of resisting. ”

Iroh's tone was unusually calm, he raised his hands, made a gesture that resembled surrender, and glanced back at Noele before saying, "As you can see, as Noele's protector, I now declare that I renounce my protection of him. Not only can they take him away at any time, but they can even punish me if they want to. ”

In the face of these seemingly betrayal words, the Silver Dragon Mage did not look surprised at all. Just like how he has gotten along with Iroh in the past five years, many times it only takes a look for him to understand what Iroh means.

- Rest assured, I won't leave you behind.

That's what the look that Iroh gave him meant.

Noela didn't suspect Elo either, because he and Elo were like one soul inhabiting different bodies, and to him, and to all the dragons in the Tokamak faction, Elo might hide something, but he would never deceive.

This is also the biggest characteristic of Iroh as a leader.

"Your words may have come as a surprise to me, but it would be nice if you could have avoided some trouble. ”

After hearing Iroh's words, not only the other people let out an exclamation, but even Kairol's face became more and more serious. He stared at Iroh for three minutes, and then at Noele for the same time, as if trying to find evidence that the other man was lying.

But he failed.

Perhaps for ordinary people, Noele's performance was indeed a little too calm, but Kairol had already communicated with the Tianyi followers and knew the characteristic of this silver dragon mage - indifference.

Moreover, according to the tradition of the metal dragons, unless they are the most heinous criminals, or if they need to pay a huge price to capture, they are not allowed to kill their targets without permission. What's more, Noele himself is a silver dragon, and even if he is brought back to the Star Shadow Venerable, most of what awaits him is imprisonment rather than death.

Perhaps in the eyes of the colored dragon, this practice of the metal dragon is a sign of hypocrisy, but it is undeniable that even the most jealous and hateful Divine Flame Venerable must abide by this tradition!

Since Noele was not in danger of his life at all, it was normal for him to remain so calm.

"I don't think this is the right time to be in a daze. ”

Iroh shrugged and cast his gaze to the blood-colored sky outside the temple gate, "You noticed the movement over there, right? I don't want to die here, so if I survive, even if I am caught, I will admit it." ”

Carol didn't answer, but gave Priscilla a look and motioned for her to step forward and control Iroh.

Facing Priscilla, who approached cautiously, Iroh had no intention of resisting, nor did he panic, as if he had foreseen everything in front of him.

Then, the blue bondage barrier unfolded, enveloping both Iroh and Vess.

"Iroh, you-"

When he saw Farr and Daisy, who were obviously relieved, take out the magic chains, Vis finally couldn't help but speak. He really couldn't figure out what Iroh wanted to do, although it didn't seem like he was rash and impulsive, but if they were really brought back to that Venerable One, wouldn't they be kings themselves?

However, Arlo shook his head lightly at him, and a dangerous look flashed in his eyes.

Weston shuddered, obliterating the urge to continue asking - I have to say, Iroh made too deep an impression on him, and that look just now directly reminded him of the beginning of that nightmare a few years ago.

Well, at least let me die later......

Vess thought to himself.

"Noelé, I'm going to wronged you first. ”

Carol casually condensed the Wind and Thunder weapon in his hand, pointed it at Noelle, and said, "What the Count said just now makes sense, and now we really can't take you away." However, it is impossible to let you continue to move freely, so please bear with it here for a while. ”

As soon as the results came out, as Iroh had thought before, Carol had successfully shifted the target to Alfred!
