Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 226 Contradictions Between the Left Behind Personnel and the Dwarves
With the end of the negotiations between the two sides, Imrik returned to the center of Caledor's army and began to figure out how many people to keep here. The mercenary plan was originally intended to talk to the Tsar, but he didn't expect to kill a patriarch halfway .

However, the result of this matter has not changed much. Even the deal with the patriarch will be better than the tsar. The influence of the religious forces headed by the Orthodox Church on Kislev is not insignificant. Some tsars have no Wherever the method affects, the church can maintain a high level of influence.

Glancing at Agsel beside him, he only brought him a high-ranking dragon prince with outstanding commanding ability. He must be allowed to stay in Elengrad, but how many soldiers will be left is a big problem. Caledon's troops will definitely I can't put it here, after all, I have to fight the main force of Chaos, and I can't trust the motley troops of other kingdoms.

So he thought of a way and looked at Iron Wolf, "Is it okay for the three of you to stay here?"

The dark trio is one of the trump cards of the dragon court, not only because of its powerful combat power, but also because of its unique power, that teleportation scroll can only be used by people who have entered the dark world and the dark world. The battle situation is really urgent, and that can pull the three of them over.

Just when Iron Wolf was about to say that these savages are almost like Chaos and don't want to stay here at all, the voices of Mi Shan and Damian came out,
"I follow your instructions."

"It doesn't matter, if there is a fight, it's fine if there is food."

According to the previous agreement, the trio will conduct a democratic vote when they have different opinions, which makes Iron Wolf can only snort coldly,
"It's just Chaos savages, and the children of Kurast Harbor will destroy them without mercy."

Imrik also didn't want to talk too much about Iron Wolf, who had the same virtue as Minasnier, and he would never give in the slightest verbally. Then he looked at Agthel,
"You stay here, and the armies of Itain and other kingdoms will be under your command. Mishan and the others will also stay here, but if the situation on the other side is really urgent, you need to be prepared for them to leave at any time."

Although Agthel didn't know what the prince had talked with the Patriarch, he could only keep his doubts in his heart. He couldn't help but glanced at the emaciated figure of the archmage. Very close, it seems that some kind of agreement has been reached, which may not be a good sign.

"Yes, I need the dragon boat fleet to cooperate in the battle. If necessary, dismantle some of the dragon claw ballistas on the Vaal's Wrath and use them as city defense guns."

"Yes, as my adjutant, you already have this kind of power, Agthel." Imrik nodded, and took out a dragon scale token from his bosom and handed it to him. Not on the dragon heraldry ring, but it also symbolizes the presence of the dragon lord.

After leaving a large amount of supplies and manpower here, Imrik, who led the army to the battlefield, said a word to Agthel who stayed behind, "If those Madam Kisley still have this attitude, go to the big one first. Patriarch, if the situation remains unresolved with the intervention of the Orthodox Church, you first return to Marienburg by boat, and then return to Kislev by boat on the Riker River."

I have to stay behind in everything. I am afraid that Agsel will think that he will live and die with Elengrad. The remaining troops will be at least 5000 people. As long as the dragon boat fleet solves the threat at sea, even if it is surrounded, It can also persist until the main force of chaos is eliminated, but if it is delayed by others, it is better to make a final plan.

But those refugees may have no choice. Food needs to be provided to the soldiers first. The risk of traveling to and from the Sea of ​​​​Claws is too great. There is no way to use the dragon boat fleet to transport food to the empire. They can only pray that Ersun is more reliable than Asuran Some, you can shelter them through this cold winter.

Located in the North World's Edge Mountains southeast of Kislev, Karak Kadrin, built in steep peaks, has been the gateway to the north for the dwarves since Karak Ungol was occupied by orcs and goblins during the Battle of Longbeard.

Several high kings tried to recover Karak Ungol from here, but there was no progress for 4000 years. The dwarves shamefully called this lost fortress the Red Eye Mountain, because the scarlet eyes of the night goblins always evoke That endless hatred.

The flames on the altar of Grimnir seem to be no longer as exuberant as before. This is the gathering place for the most fearless warriors in the old world. All dwarves who want to wash away their shame in battle will come here. While staring at him, he swore an oath that he would not back down from any battle, honorably sought every chance of death, took off the heavy steel armor, and used paint and lard to make his hair as terrifying as Grimnir, these The fearless dwarves are also revered as butchers.

But today, the butchers may have broken their oath.

In the underground booze hall, the Butcher King held up the craft beer of Torrent Pass and raised his glass to High King Erickson. His rough voice overwhelmed the noisy environment.

"Welcome to you. What an honor it is for the Lord of the Mountains to come to Karak Kadrin again after a hundred years."

"Hahaha, my dear friend, it seems that you still haven't found a worthy opponent."

Erickson gulped down the thick beer, obviously happy to reunite with his friend after a long absence, but that was not the most important thing.

After barrels of beer were placed on the table and the roast goat was lifted, the Butcher King finally got down to business.

"You want Kadrin's heirs to support Kislev together."

Erickson nodded after putting down his wine glass. He has great confidence in finding troops from Kadrin. The cultural atmosphere here is relatively open, and he can better understand the significance of human beings to the kingdom of mountains. The temple of Grimnir is here, and surely you won't get nothing like in other hill castles,
"Yes, we need to rescue Kislev from the minions of Chaos, otherwise the Kingdom of the Mountains will lose its most important barrier."

But what the High King didn't expect was that the Butcher King made an astonishing answer,
"You have indeed come to the right place, but I will not agree. Kadrin has suffered a lot of losses in the previous operation to recover Red Eye Mountain. I will not let my people carry out a meaningless support. Pointy Ears has already Going to Ohrengrad, and the Empire will come to Kislev in no time, I think that's enough."

The High King looked at his friend who had known him for hundreds of years with a face full of surprise. He never thought that his attempt to find support from Kadrin would fail. He couldn't help but clenched the wooden wine glass in his hand, and said in a low tone,
"You know the significance of Kislev to the Mountain Kingdom, but you still did this. Once they are breached, the Chaos and Ratmen in the north will be able to enter the World's Edge Mountains from the Red Eye Mountain unscrupulously."

The Butcher King was not angry, and he knew that he had let his old friend down, but it was his duty as a king not to allow his men to seek an honorable death. To liquidate the contents of the book of hatred, instead of mixing things between chaos and human beings.

"Kadrin will kill all the intruders!"
