Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 228 The Current and Future High King

"I think it is necessary to contact and try to contact this Caledor elf, but only temporarily, for the purpose of this war. These Caledor elves are no different from goblins except for their ability to fight." Thorgreen noticed The hint in Uncle Eriksson's eyes followed his meaning.

"That's right. They owe us too much, and they can only repay it with their lives." Gotrek's character is no different from those stubborn beards, who stubbornly believe that the elves are the main cause of the dwarf's weakness.

After finalizing the nature of the matter, Erickson looked at Agrim again, "Obviously this news is not enough for you to pass it on in person. Tell me, Agrim, what are you planning to do."

At this moment, Agrim licked his lips, and everyone could see that he was in a state of trembling and excitement, "The mount of the current Prince Caledor is a Shining Star Dragon, I want to try it with Scala Who is better than Zach?"

Skarazak, a powerful dragon entrenched in the mountains on the edge of the northern world, has intercepted the dwarven army many times. It is the dream goal of all butchers, but even Agrim of Karak Kadrin, the war-destroyer, knows it. The current him is completely unable to defeat this formidable opponent, he can only find a similar target to try first.

Erickson's thick eyebrows were frowned. He didn't doubt the ability of this young mustache, but the Shining Star Dragon was not like those mediocre dragons that were beheaded by butchers. It was powerful enough to rival the army. Creatures, less than ten Shining Star Dragons were dispatched in the battle of vengeance, but that terrifying ability is enough to fill many pages of the book of hatred, not to mention that the strength of the Caledor dragon lord will never be as strong as usual. Like pointed ears.

In terms of strength alone, there is already a big gap. The High King's current diplomatic strategy is open, and he does not intend to bring up the hatred between the dwarves and Azul. Just when he wanted to stop Agrim's thoughts, He had already interrupted the movement of speaking,

"Of course, this doesn't mean that I'm trying to kill that Shining Star Dragon. Although I'm a butcher, I'm also a prince. It's not a good thing to intensify conflicts with Pointy Ears. I just want to see that Shining Star Dragon Combat performance." Argris shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, he also knew that this matter was impossible, Caledon could not watch Yaoxinglong be killed by a dwarf, even if it was done, but this It will also cause the coalition forces of the races of order to fight first, and the empire must stand on the side of the dwarves. Then, with Caledon's usual behavior, he will inevitably launch an expedition against the empire and the dwarves by any means.

A fairly sensible preparation for the king.

Erickson made an evaluation of Agrim in his heart. This idea is considered enlightened in the Mountain Kingdom. Obviously, the old friend has a reliable heir, but what about himself?

Seeing Gotrek next to him still muttering about Caledor's hatred in the Great Book of Hatred, he sighed helplessly in his heart. If the Kingdom of the Mountains were in his hands, it might be really difficult to revive.

"Are you keeping it from Kazaon, or with his permission?" Erickson asked the final question. Agrim is Kazaang's only heir. If he secretly followed the army of Eternal Peak to Keith Reeve, and died there, maybe the old friend will choose to die to wash away the sins of the bloodline.

"Father didn't stop me from calling some people who voluntarily went to Kislev, but he didn't support it either." Telling the truth, Agrim was obviously very interested in this war. You have to hunt a lot of valuable enemies to be convincing. He has already aimed at the ancient dragon demons who don't know if there are any in the Chaos coalition army. Presumably those monsters with lightning flowing all over them will be suitable trophies.

"Yes, Kazaon doesn't seem so rigid." The arrogant High King didn't say thank you, but just raised his glass and touched Agrim once to express his appreciation for the mustache.

In the middle of the night...

"What do you think about the Caledonians coming here, tell me the truth, Thorgrim." The High King in front of the stove did not wear the dragon crown of Karaz, and asked the mustache like an elder in the family. Opinion.

There were only two people in the originally noisy reception room, and it looked a bit empty, but Thorgreen knew that his uncle was a little troubled. After all, Caledon had always been an important factor that made it difficult to effectively ease the relationship between dwarves and elves.

"I think this Prince Caledor is very different from his ancestors, and we can try to get in touch with him." Thorgreen put down the information about Imrik and sent Caledor to Agrim. After the news of his arrival in the Old World came, a piece of information about Imrik collected from the Empire was also sent to the High King. Obviously, the Butcher King was very concerned about this Prince Caledor.

"continue."

"He didn't choose to defend the Dragon's Back Mountain Range, but actively attacked Druzzi. Although this is in line with Caledo's usual style, I don't think it is simple."

"Judging from the fire dragon flag on the dragon boat fleet moored in Marienburg and the information collected at Haimenguan, Caledor did not have ships of this level before. This fleet may be his battle with the Oathbreaker. Part of the harvest, which means that he doesn't just think about fighting and let everyone lick his heels." Seeing Uncle Erickson's thoughtful look, Thorgreen continued to analyze the information say it.

"And in the past two years, many trading ships belonging to Caledor have traveled between the Empire, Bordero, Estalia, Tyrell and other places. According to our intelligence network, these ships While selling goods, we will also inquire about the news of the Badlands and the Angrund clan. Even though it is very secret, we still find out, but what their purpose is, I have never speculated, but it is obvious that they intend to be in the old world. Do something."

Thorgreen, who has taken over part of the intelligence work, is familiar with recent events, but he has not guessed why Caledor is so active in inquiring about the intelligence of the Badlands and the Angrund clan. If he wants to wage war again, then It must also be aimed at Karazha a Karak, it is impossible to aim at an exiled clan.

This question was soon answered by the Supreme King,

"Iselama Silver Dragon Horn, this is the only thing that makes Caledon who is full of muddleheads so interested." Erickson's complexion was a little rosy under the light of the fire, and he thought of many things , the two Doomsday Anvils lost in the Battle of Vengeance, and many treasures that symbolize the honor of the dwarves.

"But wasn't that thing taken away by the green skins? Why did you inquire about the Angrund clan?"

"After Caledor II was beheaded by the ancestor Gotrek Starbreaker, the silver dragon horn of Iselama was presented to the Angrond clan, but the rapid invasion of greenskins and rat people swept the mountains , causing the officials in charge of liquidating the loot to omit some information, thinking that the thing had been taken away by the green skins. I also learned from the Angrund clan that the Dragon Horn was still placed in the ancestral treasure house of Eight Peaks Mountain. I know how that pointy ear got the news, but obviously his target is the Dragon Horn."

Caledo, Caledo.

This term echoed in Eriksson's mind many times. Even though he tried his best to persuade himself to let go of his prejudice against these arrogant elves, the records in the Book of Great Hate seem to be vivid in his mind, but now is not a place suitable for liquidating hatred. In the era, the threat of greenskins and ratmen has been far higher than that of the dragon kingdom in Ulthuan.

"Afterwards, you try to contact the current Dragon Prince to see if he has any idea to retrieve the Dragon Horn from Bafeng Mountain, but if he is like his ancestors, his mind is full of goblin shit, then you don't need to pay attention." Ai Rixon's tone was somewhat helpless. The fallen mountain castle of Bafeng Mountain has always been a pain that the mountain kingdom can't forget, and it is also a natural moat that prevents Iron Peak Castle from being connected with its compatriots. For thousands of years, the Angland clan The trust of the Mountain Kingdom has been overdrawn, and a lot of resources have been spent. Countless dwarves want to help them recover Bafeng Mountain, but there is no effect at all.

Many mountain castles have given up supporting the long-cherished wish of the Angrund clan to recover the lost land. Only Eternal Peak and Copper Mountain Castle are willing to strongly support the action to recover Eight Peaks Mountain. However, if this situation continues, it is difficult to see a glimmer of hope.

As a last resort, perhaps some external force is really needed to make this hope more obvious. The High King does not doubt Caledor's military strength, and the significance of the Dragon Horn to him will also make them take this kind of military adventure. What is it to a dwarf, to use the power of one foe against another foe?
"Forgive me, ancestors, the current situation of the Mountain Kingdom is no longer as strong as it used to be. Even if humans are willing to help the dwarves, the recovery of Eight Peaks Mountain is meaningless to them. Only the dwarves will care so much about the blessings of Valaya. Earth, even with the power of pointed ears, I have to make this possibility a reality, and I am willing to bear the guilt."

High King Erickson clenched his fists. He had already seen how stubborn his compatriots were on the road. Under such a tense situation in the world, he still tried to close the mountain castle and become a turtle to escape reality. The Caledon gang The goblins are more sensible than them, at least they know how to support the Chaos invasion.
