Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 249 Conditions
"Although I really want to do this, I think if you take back Bafeng Mountain, it may be blown into ruins." Erickson's tone was calm, as if he regarded this pearl of the mountain kingdom as a Insignificant place.

Hearing this, Imrik couldn't help but smiled. Although rationally speaking, even if he regained the Eight Peaks Mountain by himself, it would be best to hand it over to the dwarves, but his memory will not lie, and those hatreds are still remembered in his heart. In his mind, maybe he would really blow up Bafeng Mountain in a fit of anger, making it impossible for the dwarves and green skins to get to this crucial place.

"Explain your conditions. We are all smart people. As long as it is reasonable, we can continue the discussion. Otherwise, you may have to let the two brothers of the Anglund clan stay in the Eternal Peak for the rest of their lives." Said the threat vaguely. If the dwarves really want Caledor to recover the Eight Peaks Mountain alone, and they don't need that place, at worst they tie up the two brothers Belega and go in together, and take away everything in the ancestral treasury. Dragonbone Wasteland It can also be used as a transit point for expeditions from Dawn Fortress, and it is not worthwhile to work for the dwarves for nothing.

"Eight Peaks Mountain, Longya Fort, and the head of the oath-breaker." Erickson explained what he wanted, two long-lost fortresses, and a Druzzi engraved on the front page of the Great Hate Book Malekith.

Imrik didn't speak, just waiting for the High King's reward to explain that the first two are expeditions to the Badlands, and the latter is an expedition to Naggaroth. It can be said that no race can easily do it. If he just takes the Dragon Horn And some useless artifacts to fool yourself, so let's talk to Thorgreen later.

The long-bearded dwarf slowly stated the conditions, "The crown of the phoenix, and all the caledor trophies captured in the battle of revenge on Eternal Peak."

The Phoenix Crown, it is said that this artifact left in the treasury of the Supreme King was forged by the blacksmith god Vaal with the holy fire of Asuryan when the first Phoenix King Enarion was crowned. Hoth endowed the wearer with infinite wisdom, and Aisha protected his life , Kuros gives sharp eyes, Lilith bestows luck...

Almost all the gods of the Kadai pantheon personally poured their divine power into it. Although Imrik felt that this matter was a bit nonsense, after all, if it was so powerful, how could Caledor II be beheaded by the dwarf High King.

But this thing is really important. Unlike the second phoenix crown made after the Longbeard battle, the one made by Vaal symbolizes Aenarion's right to rule over all elves, the undisputed monarch.

But Imrik doesn't care at all that this is a toy treasure. Whoever likes to be the Phoenix King, anyway, he is not interested, but he has no conditions to reject Erickson. The purification ceremony of Dragonbone Wasteland will last for a long time. For a long time, if Bafeng Mountain, Tiefeng Fort, and Longya Fort can form a line of defense, it can contain the greenskins coming from the west.

Moreover, there is a hidden meaning in the words of the High King. If the phoenix crown is handed over, it means that the treasure that symbolizes the victory of the dwarves in the Longbeard War will be taken back by the elves, and at least the mountain castle of Eternal Peak will be wiped out. Regarding the enmity with Azul, not to mention the head of Malekith, obviously the enmity of the white dwarves is still engraved in the hearts of the Drakduraz clan, one hatred to offset another, maybe this is Eric The difference between Sen and the previous High King.

"Yes, but it's not enough. There are also many things belonging to Caledor in the treasure house of Bafeng Mountain."

Erickson was silent for a while, that idiot Bellegar didn't know that he was negotiating terms with Imric, if Caledor's army was allowed to cooperate with the Angrond clan's expedition, maybe the dwarves and elves would fight first Let's face it, the Great Jihad still has humans as a buffer. If it were in a place like Badlands, any conflicts might lead to the immediate failure of military operations.

"I will do my best on this matter. I need you to set up an embassy in the empire. When the time is right, I will notify you and the Angrund clan to recover Eight Peaks Mountain."

The High King had a hunch that the two Belgar brothers would have to fail a few times before they really understood what to do. When they really couldn't find support in the Mountain Kingdom, when their manpower and resources were exhausted, they would think about it. Using the horn of the dragon as a reward, Caledon sent troops to recover the lost ground.

But Imrik's idea is very important. There is no need for him to recover with the Angrund clan. The ancestral treasure house cannot be opened because the green skins only rely on inspiration and intuition for magic. If Prince Caledor lets a group of Saffrey If the great mage arrived in front of the sealed door of the ancestral treasure house, opened it for several years, and then emptied all the treasures in it, then regaining the Eight Peaks Mountain would truly become a meaningless long-cherished wish of the Anglund clan.

The answer from the High King sitting on the main seat after silence has already let the Dragon Prince know what is going on now. Obviously he has already told Bellegar about this matter, but the stubborn nature of the dwarves makes them unwilling to let the elves intervene in this matter .

Judging by Erickson's appearance, it is estimated that the cooperation with Caledor was brought to the fore because he wanted to make Bellegar suffer a little bit, but this matter is also understandable, if the original owner Imrik knew the legend The Dragon Horn was placed on the Eight Peaks Mountain, so he didn't care what the dwarves thought, and immediately organized an army to expedition to the bad land.

"Yes, I will send ambassadors to several major cities of the empire. When you think the Angrund clan is capable of recovering Mount Eight Peaks, please let me know through the embassy."

After the intentional or unintentional ridicule was over, Imrik was about to get up and leave. The expedition to Mount Eight Peaks would definitely not start in the short term, but it could not be dragged on for a long time. The Chaos Dwarves had already made their debut in the world, and perhaps the Black Orcs would soon Will be scattered throughout the world from the land of darkness.

Before leaving, Imrik said the last words to Erickson, "As the sincerity between the partners, the two anvils of doom will be sent to Marienburg after the war."

In the camp, there were only two dwarves left. Thorgreen was silent just now, just watching his uncle communicate with Imrik. At this moment, he couldn't hold back some doubts.
"Uncle, you really believe that this elf will help the Angrund clan regain Eight Peaks Mountain. His words show that he has the idea of ​​going to the Badlands alone."

Erickson said with a little emotion, "No, I don't believe that this elf will help the Angrund clan sincerely, but there is nothing to do at the moment. After this great holy war is over, Eternal Peak will be in a long time. There is no time to support the kingdoms, and Domga is already planning to take back Mount Bafeng again, do you think this mustache, who is only in his early [-]s, has this ability?"

Hearing this, Thorgreen shook his head. How could a mustache who hadn't reached even the long beard have the ability to regain the Eight Peaks Mountain? Unless he gathered a few of the most powerful mountain fortresses, he could only do so in the outer underground tunnels. Li fights guerrilla with greenskins.

"Moustache, one day my life will come to an end, and you will become the hope of the mountain kingdom." Erickson seemed to have some hints in his words, and seemed to be just lamenting the fate of the dwarves. The situation, the wise High King has been helpless for too long.
