Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 204 The Situation of the Empire and Kislev
"His Royal Highness Prince Caledoron, I feel extremely honored to be able to meet you. Please accept my humble blessing."

The moment he saw Imrik, Bancroft immediately bowed and saluted. His status was not low in Westland, otherwise he would not have been entrusted with important tasks by the merchant lord. The identity of the elf is much different than that.

"Get up, you are the Bancroft Alagir spoke of."

"Yes, this is the document that His Excellency Alagir gave me. Please have a look." Bancroft took out the document from his pocket, but instead of getting up immediately, he bent down and put the document at head level, waiting Let someone take this thing away.

But the expected situation of the file being drawn out did not happen, but a stern voice came from beside him, "Your Highness told you to get up, don't make any unnecessary movements."

Seeing this situation, Imrik waved his hand towards Masnow, motioning him to go to the other side, so as not to interfere with the normal communication. The nobleman of Marienburg kept his posture very low. I have done a lot of understanding.

Bancroft raised his head hesitantly, and found that the Dragon Prince was looking at him, and then pointed to the chair beside him, indicating to sit down.

Taking the alcoholic drink from the servant in fear, Bancroft felt a little flattered. Seeing the Dragon Prince for the first time made him think that he had returned to the empire, and he didn't care too much about the so-called sense of racial superiority. Instead, he gave himself a suitable attitude.

After taking the document from the servant, Imrik flipped through it casually. In fact, he had already read this document. He did not return to Caledor immediately after the banquet, and he was also waiting for news from the old world. Marienburg, which has the closest communication with Ulthuan, is the most reasonable situation for them to ask for support, and said,

"Bancroft, how many kingdoms did you contact before you met me?"

These words made the merchant aristocrat look a little nervous. He thought that Prince Long was asking if he looked down on Caledor. As the strongest kingdom in Ulthuan, he was the last one to ask for a meeting.

"Your Highness the Dragon Prince, I have visited the entire Phoenix Court, but only you are willing to receive me." Bancroft's flowers were very tactful, and he did not dare to say that he finally found Caledor.

Squinting his eyes slightly and looking at the tense imperial man sitting on the chair, Imrik knew that he had obviously misunderstood what he meant, but he didn't want to explain, so he said,

"What does the human empire want from Caledon? If they just want to find some mercenaries, Itain and Cosque have many pirates who are willing to sacrifice their lives for money. Judging from the past two years in Caledon and Marienburg For the sake of good business development, I can find a channel for you."

This is a temptation. The Great Jihad must go, but it must also receive some benefits, otherwise it will be a waste of work.

Dragon and Dragon Prince!At that time, Bancroft wanted to say these two terms, but he held back with years of experience. If he said it, he was not hacked to death on the spot, he would probably have to be thrown out.

"Your Highness, an unprecedented chaotic coalition force is invading the Empire and Kislev. The world needs Caledor to save, just as His Highness the Dragon Tamer saved the world thousands of years ago."

Imric raised his glass and took a sip before saying, "It seems that you know a lot about the history of elves, so you should know that Caledor hasn't set foot in the Old World for a long time. Land, do you know why?"

This is a proposition. Bancroft is already sweating coldly on his back. He has specialized in the history of elves, so he naturally knows the answer to this question. That is the Battle of Longbeard. He does not know why Imrik mentioned this Question, don't you want to see dwarves?Or is it planning to obtain information about the dwarves from the empire, planning to organize an expedition across the vast ocean to take revenge?

No matter what kind of thought he had, he couldn't say it out loud. He could only pretend to be stupid and throw the question to Imrik, and said sincerely, "Your Highness, please clarify."

Imrik held his wine glass and looked at the noble businessman pretending to be stupid, knowing that he didn't dare to answer this question, so he simply talked about other things, "How is the human empire? Is it still being invaded by those Chaos barbarians?"

Although he didn't know why the Dragon Prince took the initiative to interrupt the proposition, Bancroft still breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said, "The northern part of the empire is being invaded by those barbarians, and due to some political problems, it is impossible to effectively organize Raise an army against these followers of Chaos."

The impact of the War of the Three Emperors and the War of Vampires? Imrik quickly understood the so-called political issues, but the person he wanted to know most did not explain, that is, Magnus the Pious, who is the master of the revival of the empire , I don’t know too much about the Great Jihad. This matter is often mentioned as a chronological background, and the No.12 Eternal God Chosen is used as a stepping stone to prove the greatness of Magnus.

However, Magnus, who is the greatest emperor after Sigmar, seems to have not yet made his debut, or the news of the Marienburg man in front of him is a little behind, and he has not received first-hand information.

After all, the mages in the empire are still in a free range state. They belong to wild warlocks. If they find out, they will be taken away by the church. They don't have the ability to transmit information across the sea like elves.

After thinking about it for a while, he brought up Kislev instead,

"What has become of that kingdom ruled by witches?"

Bancroft didn't quite understand what the Dragon Prince said, but after thinking for a moment, it became clear that Kislev has two main ethnic groups—Gospodar and Ugor. The former migrated from the boundless grassland to the Pieces of snow-covered land.

Gospodar is different from his neighbors Huns and Kurgans. They did not believe in evil gods, but chose to fight against evil gods and continued to believe in the bear god Esun. To survive, an ice shaman named Lidro-san chose to lead the people to migrate westward after hearing the whisper of the god named "Earth", and arrived at a place called Kislev today. Gospodar conquered Ugol and established the Kingdom of Ice and Snow.

The ice shaman named Lizhuo Sang was also revered as the Khan Queen, and subsequent female rulers would also receive this title as a symbol of dominance. In essence, these Khan Queens really It's a witch.

"Your Highness, Kislev is now ruled by Tsar Alex Romanov. They are doing their best to resist the invasion of Chaos with the blessing of Urson, the bear god. Prag still stands in the ice, but I'm afraid It won't last long."

"It doesn't matter. My biggest impression of them is that the vodka tastes okay, and there is nothing worthy of praise other than that."

The Dragon Prince likes to drink vodka, Bancroft silently recorded this information in his heart, maybe he will use it at some point, but when he wanted to continue to echo, Imric interrupted his thoughts.

"There is no need to talk nonsense. I will personally lead the expedition to Kislev. The best end for the chaos residue is to become a corpse."

An expression of surprise appeared on Bancroft's face. He never thought that he could get the support of the most powerful kingdom in Ulthuan so easily. Get up and bend over to say thanks,
"Thank you for your understanding. The old world needs the support of the noble Dragon Prince. If you are willing to go out in person, we will do our best to provide a thank you gift to express our gratitude to Caledor."

This guy is quite sensible, and he didn't let himself bring up such a thing. The Dragon Prince thought to himself, and then said, "I will send an army from the kingdom to Lothern, you'd better prepare for the next thing immediately. "

"Of course, it's my pleasure."
