Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 247 Bellegar's Stubbornness
In the city of Kislev, Tsar Alex is instructing his soldiers to deliver supplies as soon as possible.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the city wall needs shells and crossbow arrows, and the motherland needs everyone's efforts at this moment."

His tone was very hasty, this was a rare chance to breathe, Chaos stopped the offensive, although Alex didn't know why, but the most urgent thing is to do everything he can do to the best, and then wait for the gods to decide It also sheltered Kislev, allowing this suffering country to continue.

"Father, I can see that you are very tired. Maybe it's time to take a rest." Kislev's princess, Ice Witch Catherine, strolled over. She was wearing a cheese snow leopard cloak and an ice crystal crown on her head. Snow leopards are scattered all over Kislev, but this cheese leopard is so rare that only the bravest hunters dare attempt to hunt it down and dedicate it to the most noble princess.

(This is not the legendary lord in the game, only the name is the same, to be precise, it should be called Catherine I.)
After seeing his dearest daughter approaching, Alex shook his head dotingly, stepped forward to hug her, "Dear Katrin, I'm fine, the difficulties now are just the beginning, I can't rest yet."

Katrin looked at her father's tired eyes from the vicissitudes of life, and knew that he must have not rested for a long time like herself. The Chaos coalition had surrounded Kislev City for several days, and with the help of the Frost Witch she led, she could barely Resistance, but if it continues like this, the cold winter will gradually recede, and then the Frost Witch will no longer be able to effectively resist the enemy's attack.

"How is the forging of our secret weapon going?" Alex asked his daughter. The Royal Cannon Forge is hurrying up to produce twelve giant cannons that claim to be able to destroy the Chaos army with a single salvo. These are some kind people. Borrowed from the city of Nun, after localized processing by Kislev engineers, it must be able to pose a considerable threat to the enemy.

"It is expected to be put into use tomorrow, and I will lead the witches to hold on." Catherine let go of her father's embrace. In this cold kingdom, perhaps only family affection can make people feel warm.

"Thank you for your hard work. You will definitely become a great tsar like Queen Khan." Alex encouraged Katrin, then turned and continued to direct the personnel to send supplies to the front line. As the tsar, he not only needs to be on the front line with When the enemy is fighting, it is also necessary to keep the subordinates disciplined at all times.

Katrin nodded slightly. As a powerful ice witch, she naturally yearns for Queen Khan. As long as she can achieve good results in this chaos invasion, the future coronation will undoubtedly be easier.

…………

The atmosphere in the dwarven camp was solemn, the atmosphere that had lingered among the dwarves since Imrik was outspoken about the Chaos dwarves appearing on the battlefield, and Geneviève explained her life as a slave.

"Our compatriots may have been captured by those traitors and turned into slaves in the workshop, or they may have been sacrificed to the dark gods!" At this time, Agrim did not maintain his usual calmness, and seemed very Angry, he hammered the metal tabletop with both hands, and two deep pits immediately appeared. The name of Iron Fist was definitely not picked up. Even if this terrifying power is placed on a dwarf, it is a talent.

Karak Kadrin always had news that some butchers disappeared after going to the depths of the world's edge. Originally, Agrim thought that these dwarves had found the glorious death they had been looking for for a long time, but combined with the chaos entrenched in the dark land After the dwarf got used to using hobgoblins to capture slaves, he suddenly understood where the butchers had gone.

"This is a hatred, enough to be engraved in the Great Book of Hatred." The High King slowly closed his eyes. He thought of the expeditionary army sent by the Eternal Peak before. Those brave dwarves may have died, or they may still be alive. suffering.

Most people are muttering that after the end of this great holy war, immediately let the high king organize the kingdoms to go on an expedition to the dark land. This is simply more unacceptable to the dwarves than the hatred gained in the battle of revenge. It is a violation of the oath made by the ancestors .

Among them, Gotrek, the son of the High King, is the most intense. He is a typical dwarf prince, eager for revenge and conquest, and he values ​​the oath very much. Even if he dies, he will not choose to break the oath.

At this time, Thorgreen, who was staying next to him, seemed a little out of place. He didn't participate in this verbal criticism of Chaos Cousin, but he sighed helplessly in his heart.

What ability does the Mountain Kingdom still have to carry out expeditions to the Dark Land? Greenskins, ratmen, vampires, ogres, and chaotic dwarves are all entrenched here. So many mountain castles are still in the hands of greenskins and ratmen , this hatred is strong, but if the foundation is ruined because of this incident, the dwarves may become really weak.

Although Erickson, who stayed in the main seat, was as excited as the others, he secretly observed the performance of everyone present, especially Thorgreen and Bellegar, and found that they seemed to have no interest in this matter. He didn't have much thought, just lowered his head as if mourning those compatriots who died.

This gave him an idea. Combined with Imrik's focus on the Dragonbone Wasteland, he could guess that there must be something that the Dragon Prince valued greatly in that chaotic land filled with countless green skins.

After this cordial greeting of his Chaos cousin, Erickson asked Thorgrim and Bellegar to meet him alone.

In a secret camp, the Supreme King motioned the two mustaches to sit down first, and asked,
"Beilegar, what do you think about the Chaos Dwarves, don't worry about anything, just say it."

Bellegar, who was wearing a horned helmet, was a little at a loss. He clenched his fists tightly and seemed to be struggling violently in his heart. He sighed and said,
"Your Majesty, I also hate those Chaos Dwarves, but the Angrund Clan is no longer able to join other kingdoms in expeditions to the Dark Lands. Recovering Eight Peaks Mountain is our clan's greatest long-cherished wish."

Bellegar's tone was very sincere and heavy. Since the fall of Eight Peaks Mountain, every leader of the Angrund clan has been thinking about recovering it all the time. With the support of various mountain castles at the beginning, there was some effect, but since the father of the two brothers After dying in the land of the ancestors, this support gradually diminished.

The Angrund clan needs to maintain and win every bit of strength to regain Eight Peaks instead of focusing on other hatreds.

Noticing the seriousness on Belega's expression, the High King expressed some thoughts,

"In the ancestral treasury of Bafeng Mountain, there is an extremely important artifact for Caledon, an artifact that even the elves will try their best to get back."

"You mean the silver dragonhorn of Iselama?" Bellegar hesitated, but soon understood why the High King mentioned this matter, and immediately rejected it firmly, "Impossible, Angrund The clan does not need the help of pointed ears, all the treasures in the ancestor's treasury belong to Bafeng Mountain, it is the inheritance left by our ancestors, I will definitely not agree to exchange this precious relic for the help of pointed ears."

If Bellegar's tone is firm, then Erickson and Thorgreen's helplessness is as heavy.

The Kingdom of Mountains has helped the Angrund clan countless times in the past relying on a sense of honor and racial unity, but it has not gained any benefits during this period, and if it helps them regain Eight Peaks Mountain, it will actually cost a lot of resources and manpower to help Defense is a thankless task at all. Now all the kings understand that they don't want to invest their precious power into the bottomless pit of Bafeng Mountain.

Except for the fact that the High King supported the Mountain Kingdom because of the unity of the mountain kingdom, and the role of the Eight Peaks Mountain in connecting Iron Peak Castle, it means that the Copper Mountain Castle also supported the Anglund clan, why the idiot Belegar just didn’t understand However, it is completely unrealistic to rely on the dwarves to recover Bafeng Mountain.
