Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 208 Route Problems
Bancroft, a merchant nobleman from Marienburg, began to breathe a little short of breath. He had never been in close contact with a giant dragon. After coming to Ulthuan, he only saw the backs of these huge creatures flying in the sky. In his mind, those griffins carefully raised by the electors were already the overlords of the sky, but the Yaoxinglong in front of him, which spread its wings and covered most of its field of vision, changed his mind. He felt a level of life Even if the giant dragon didn't show any hostility, it still felt deeply afraid.

"But this is a good thing for the old world. The stronger the dragon, the more sure it can resist the invasion of chaos."

After thinking about it in his heart, Bancroft stepped forward and saluted the Dragon Prince, "His Royal Highness, if possible, please lead the army to Marienburg tomorrow. The invasion has become very chaotic, we have no way to reach Erengrad directly, we need to go to Kislev from the empire, and we will get you there as soon as possible."

This matter is the idea of ​​the great lord of Westland. As a person who is used to maximizing his interests, the highlord wants to use these Asur to eliminate some political opponents, especially the Nordland who casually issued a claim on Westland. , as long as it matches the actual situation of Chaos Invasion, and West leads some hands and feet, then these Electors who are mixed with Norscan barbarians can be wiped out together. If it is not for the urgent situation of Chaos Invasion, he even wants Azul wiped out the elector family of Reikland.

Bancroft knew about this situation, but he didn't agree with it. The most urgent thing for him now was to let Imrik take people to the Old World, and then transfer to a ship in Marienburg, from the Riker River to the Tower. The canal route from Rabeck to Kislev is the safest way.

This made Imrik think about it. The current situation of the empire is very bad. If he takes the land route from Marienburg, he must go along the Nordland, from Middenland to Kislev. It is estimated that the Great Holy War After all the fighting, Caledor is still helping the empire to wipe out the Beastmen and Greenskins in Zaken Forest, but now Nordland is also invaded by a large group of Norscans. If you go from here, it will take a lot of time Help the empire pay off these followers of chaos.

It is a good choice to go from the Reik River to Kislev, but there are many problems along the way. First of all, each checkpoint guards the key nodes. The time was deliberately delayed under the control of the elements, so the time to reach Kislev would be extended indefinitely.

At that time, if I get angry, I will hack all those who block the way to death. Such a move will affect the relationship between the two countries and the speed of support for the war situation.

"I have to think about this matter. I don't know the situation of the empire, but I still know how serious the political struggle of mankind and the infiltration of chaos are. Caledon will support in his own way instead of being influenced by the ideas of the empire. "

Imrik's tone was very calm, but he didn't hide the meaning of the words too much. Bancroft felt a little chill in his heart. He didn't agree with the actions of the great lord, but he still needed to abide by them. He just wanted to explain his No matter how reasonable his thoughts were, he felt several killing intents coming from different directions.

The dragon lord champion warrior Masno has already put his hand on the hilt of his sword. He can hear the meaning of the prince's words. These humans want to use the hands of Caledor to deal with some political enemies. If Bancroft has more If you say an inappropriate word, you will die here on the spot.

Not all human beings have the noble character and reliable strength like Mishan, Iron Wolf, and Damian. In Maslow's heart, he still thinks that these humans are no different from monkeys.

"Of course, I didn't intend to interfere with the actions of His Royal Highness, but just to make some humble suggestions." Bancroft, who was deeply panicked, quickly explained.

"So why are you still staying here, instead of hurrying up to prepare some supplies to support the empire, could it be that you wait for Caledor to treat Westland as a vassal and solve all problems for you?" Imrik's expression did not change for the first time. The meeting was so kind, these nobles who are proficient in business and politics always want to maximize their interests, and their plans are all on the head of the Dragon Palace.

"Yes, yes, when you think it is appropriate, please pass the order to the embassy in Westland, and I will take my leave first." Bancroft hurriedly bowed to express his apology, and then took three steps back before he dared to turn around leave.

"The plans of these despicable businessmen are always so dirty." When Bancroft stepped back and just turned around, Masnow unabashedly expressed his contempt for him, and then reported some situations to Imric, "Prince , after we informed the outside world that we would support the old world, many people from other kingdoms wanted to go with us, most of whom were from Tyranok."

"How many people are there in total?" Imrik was not surprised by this situation. His prestige in Ulthuan had reached an extremely high level. This is the case with trade agreements.

"There are about 2000 people in total. They expressed their willingness to obey your orders, and there is no need for the court to bear the expenses and responsibilities." Masnow handed a report to Imric, which contained detailed personnel distribution data.

I took a look at the report and found that most of them were from Tyranok and Saffrey, as well as some adventurous Cosque and Charis. Mixed with Teclis, so there are only a few silver helmet knights, Avalon, Iris and Ailion are almost none, Avalon is still undergoing post-war reconstruction, Iris is too small because of the population, and the war If the energy output of the Essota Maha Guide Stone is too much, a large number of manpower is needed to defend against the chaotic demons that may appear in the country. As for the horsemen in Ailion, they are still looking for horses to fill the gaps in the grassland.

"Yes, let them know Caledor's military discipline in these two days, and then divide the arms according to each person's specialty, and set up a sequence for them to support the Old World Volunteer Army." The so-called Caledon's military discipline, that is Whatever your superiors ask you to do, you have to do it, especially the orders of the dragon lord. Once there is a violation of military discipline, it is by no means as simple as just moving stones in the Longji Mountains.

After arranging this matter, Imrik thought of something, so he asked, "When will the dragon boat fleet promised by Finnubar be delivered?"

This dragon boat fleet was one of the prices for breaking the siege of Lothern. Under his own urging, the Phoenix Royal Court stated that it had already seized the time to divide the personnel, but considering the efficiency of the longevity species, they still had to ask.

"The Secretary of the Navy is still liquidating the lost fleet, and it may take a lot of time."

"Let him send the fleet to Lothern Naval Port within this week, and ensure that the fleet has no problems, otherwise I will go to the Phoenix King's Court to talk to him in person."

"Yes."

This fleet is the reliance that Imrik does not plan to march from the territory of the empire. He plans to go directly to Erengrad from the Sea of ​​​​Claws. The Norsca dragon boats that helped fight were direct interdimensional strikes, and there was no need to get involved in the empire's mess.
