Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 103 Great Council

In the giant square of Tal Kared, there is a huge stone sculpture up to [-] meters high in the central area, a black dragon roaring towards the sky, and a giant dragon sculpture that can be seen even through the gaps in the scales in the dragon palace In comparison, this giant dragon sculpture looks a little rough, because it was directly made of a huge rock under the spell of the dragon trainer, without the meticulous carving of those sculptors, it looks simple and unusual.

This is the legendary father of dragons - Black Calzaranos.

The square was full of people, roughly estimated at least tens of thousands of people, the closer to the position of the father of the dragon, the higher the status, Randy, High Priest of Vaal, High Priest of Ardaeus, High Wizard of the Flame Tower, Agger Searle...

The giant dragons active in the sky of Caledor are all standing in their positions, and the dragon halberd guards are standing next to the sculpture with their long halberds. Those who come here are representatives of all classes in Caledor.

After hundreds of years, Caledor's Great Council opened again.

The man standing in front of the giant statue of the Dragonfather was none other than Imrik.

After Minasnil and the dragons at the edge of the square let out a roar, announcing the official start of the Great Council, Imrik stepped forward and faced tens of thousands of Caledor's people.

"Today, we stand here. On the land of the Caledonians, on Tal Khaled, the land where our ancestors watered every corner with their blood and dignity."

"In front of me are the citizens of a kingdom of silence. We are the Caledonian, representing the spirit of each of us with honor and bravery."

Under the effect of the spell, Imrik's sonorous and powerful voice was transmitted to everyone's ears, and they could personally feel the emotion in the Dragon Prince's words.

"Since Prince Tetris was shamelessly murdered on the deserted island, the sky of Caledor no longer echoes with dragons, and the smoke from Dragon's Back Volcano no longer fills the air. The kingdom that used to symbolize warriors has entered silence."

"After falling silent, others tried to ride on the dragon's neck, thinking that the dragon could be tamed with a collar, and they wantonly trampled on our dignity, the dignity of a brave and glorious nation."

For a moment, the square fell into silence, and no one would not know the meaning of Imrik's words.

Since Titris became the Phoenix King, in the last battle to expel Drucci, he was bewitched by the holy sword of Kane, went to the sword altar of Kane alone, and died strangely.

According to the rumors from the Phoenix Court at that time, it was the assassin of Du Luqi who killed him, but the White Lion Guards were very suspicious. This incident had a huge impact at the time. independent state.

If it hadn't been for Vaal's oracle, there would only be eight kingdoms in the Phoenix Court, but the Caledonians still held their hearts in shackles. A nation full of pride would never forget the hurts of the past.

And since Imrik was crowned the Phoenix King in the name of his grandfather who tamed the dragon, Caledor has contributed the most against Druzzi and Chaos, but gained the least. The 3000 people in the former era have become 800 people now. Many families died because all the men died in battle, so they can only put the weapons and armor that symbolize the honor of the family into the exhibition hall.

"You may say that we only need to guard Caledor and the Dragon's Back Mountain Range. The glory of our ancestors is enough to cover up everyone except the guardian Enarion."

"However, I want to tell you! The Caledonians will never be satisfied. Even after countless generations, our glory will still be engraved on every rock in the Dragon's Back Mountain Range!"

"This glory will not exist as long as there are men who try to collar the dragon; this glory will not exist as long as those who try to peep at the power of the dragon's court; and as long as the roar of the dragon is not This glory would not exist if it could be heard from every corner of Ulthuan; it would not exist as long as the smoke of Vaal's Anvil floats here and there in the Dragon's Back Mountains."

As the invited guest, Princess Etila was standing in the corner of the square, listening to Imrik's words. Although he was talking about Caledor, why not Teren Locke? The damage caused by the big split has not yet recovered. Nobles crawled on commoners to suck their blood, and the Inner Ring kingdoms gave Tyrenoch a run for their money against Druzzi's hordes with some scant support.

And in the square, a strong murderous aura began to pervade centered on the sculpture. Is Caledo an idiot?No, never, they just don't want to pay attention to politics, why don't they know that it is the lives of the people to resist Druzzi, if the position of Ulthuan is the most dangerous, then only the west, the battle in Nagareth for a long time They all use Caledon as the main force, and those inner ring kingdoms are enjoying their benefits.

I only heard Imric continue to say, "What we need is not a small handout! It is not the equipment that the priests of Vaal have forged with their lives in exchange for those hateful gold leaves! In exchange for disrespect!"

Suddenly, Imrik raised his pitch and shouted with great passion.

"What we need is the glory that belongs to Caledon! Caledon has been silent for too long, let them forget who this peace came from! My father, your prince Mikhail, was killed by Druzzi After killing, what you get is just some disgusting gold leaves and those from the merchant! Gems full of stench!"

"Since Ulthuan won't give us respect, the Caledon will get it in his own way!"

"I declare as the patriarch of the dragon tamer family, the dragon lord, and the prince of Caledon, to summon all the dragon princes and soldiers, to wake up the sleeping dragon, to re-ignite the Vaal anvil furnace, and to open the war against Lustria five years later. colonial activities."

"This world is ours, and therefore we may rule as we please. We earned this right at the dawn of the world. It was we, and our race alone, that defeated the forces of Chaos, Drive them back to the Chaos Demon Realm. So those inferior races must understand this fact and submit to our rule - if they are not willing to submit peacefully, then they will bow their heads under our force!"

After finishing speaking, he pulled out the Dragon Fire Sword from his waist, pointed the sword at the distant sky, and roared.

"For Caledor."

If you want to ask which person present is the most excited, it must belong to Randy. As a [-]-year-old Asur, he has already been familiar with the situation in Ulthuan, and even thought that Caledon could only be reduced to a mercenary in the end. , driven by other kingdoms, rolling towards the battlefield feebly, he wants to change, but he is just a warrior and doesn't know what to do.

But looking at Imrik on the stage, he felt the excitement of fighting under the Dragon Prince in the past, the long-lost blood surged in his heart again, and his long-silent heart was ignited again.

Pulled out the sword at his waist, raised it high, and shouted, "For the dragon lord, for Caledon, for Val."

The high-ranking dragon princes standing beside him also started to shout, followed by the middle, and finally the periphery of the square.

"For the dragon lord, for Caledor, for Val."

Hearing the roar of the crowd behind him, the veteran looked at the young Dragon Prince who raised his sword to the sky, "Mikhail, Imrik will be the greatest Dragon Prince after the King of Conquerors, and he will definitely live up to the great ancestors. name."
