Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 250 Inherent thoughts

After leaving the dwarves' position, Imrik planned to go back and chat with Minasnir. It's so boring to deal with humanoid creatures all day. We were born to communicate with dragons, not to coordinate with other people in Imperial language all day long. fighting.

But it is a pity that Minasnir just lay motionless on the ground and pretended to be dead. No matter how the dragon lord called, there was no response. Imrik, who couldn't bear it, immediately prepared to let Davian come over to the old dragon. Singing, just when he was about to call out, he was held by the huge dragon claws.

"Shut up, don't bother me if you have nothing to do, I don't know if the old dragon needs more rest." Lao Mi was full of anger, sniffed two heavy snorts, and threw Imrik into his tent Throwing it away, it could be seen that Yaoxinglong was very angry. After all, he had been hit by chaos cannons in the past few days, which caused a few pieces of scales to fall off.

A meteor accurately arrived at the front of the prince's camp, and it smashed a hole in the ground so fast that everyone looked sideways at it. Afterwards, the prince patted his buttocks and stood up as if nothing had happened.

"Damn it, it must be that Lao Mi has not found a partner at such an old age and is anxious. I have to give it a staff when I go back." Imrik complained in his heart, and then nodded secretly in affirmation of this idea. It has been hundreds of years There are no new dragons to hatch, no matter how you say it, Lao Mi has to make a contribution to the group. This is one of the responsibilities of the dragon lord. When I go back, I will go and see if there are any relics left by the ancestor dragon trainers. Books like Dragon Postpartum Care.

But an unexpected person appeared in front of him, so he asked, "How about those imperial knights?"

Bruni, who was standing outside the camp, was not surprised to see the prince come back in this posture. After all, the only one in Ulthuan who could treat Imrik this way was the legendary star dragon Minasnil, otherwise who would dare Throw the Dragon Prince out like trash.

He walked up to Imrik, nodded slightly and saluted, and said, "It's much better than I expected. Although it looks like a child playing on horseback, it's barely usable."

Noticing Bruni's hesitant expression, he knew that he must not have finished everything, and motioned to speak.

After returning to a familiar place, Imrik found a bottle of wine and poured it for Bruni himself. He obeyed his request and gave up the honor of fighting with the dragon. In addition to his dedication for so long, this respect is naturally reasonable. As it should be.

"It can be seen that you seem to have some different ideas about those imperial knights." Poured a cup for himself, half leaning on the wooden table, Imrik waited for the answer from the most trusted dragon prince.

Bruni picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He didn't drink alcohol during the war. This is the rule he set for himself. After the etiquette was in place, he expressed some emotion,
"Indeed, these imperial knights may not be able to compare with the silver helmet knights in some combat details, but they are far superior in number. If I were to evaluate it, the discipline is still acceptable, but the martial arts are not enough. Room for improvement."

The Dragon Prince gave a very high evaluation, which even made Imrik feel a little surprised. You must know that Bruni, the commander of the Horn of the Sun, always said that his soldiers were not good enough, but in fact he has almost reached However, the silver helmet knights are a large group of noble children who have been trained since childhood, and they are not at the level of citizen riding.

Of course, he didn't compare the Dragon Prince and the Imperial Knights. The gap is quite significant and there is not much comparison.

He opened his mouth and explained some ideas to Bruni, "Maybe we can allow some humans to join Caledon's cavalry sequence, not just soldiers at the grassroots level."

Regarding this matter, Imrik thought for a long time. If Elengrad is held, at least 3 people will be sent to the New World, plus the people obtained from Araby, then they can be pulled out. An army of at least 3000 people, although this number is not large, but this is just the beginning, and there will be more in the later period.

The construction cost of Caledor's local cavalry is too high. The Dragon Prince is a typical example. The villa, not to mention those pure-blood elf horses and the matching horse armor, are simply moving gold bricks.

The Horn of the Sun that I personally formed may not be so expensive, but it still requires a lot of military expenses. The cost of these two cavalry units alone is enough to allow me to pull out another infantry army of [-] people. The problem is easy to say, the big deal is to go back to Ulthuan to make some money to solve it. The main reason is that the population is scarce. If the cavalry expands, then it must follow the standards of the Horn of the Sun. It provides a pension, and will also reduce the necessary labor force to make up for the vacancies. It is impossible for the whole country to prepare for war, and the necessary production activities must continue.

Under this premise, we can only put the future basic cavalry on humans. Humans learn much faster than elves. Even if it takes more than ten years to train a group of people to become a qualified cavalry, Imri Ke believes that it is still affordable, and the standard of equipment can be appropriately lowered, without the need to make mobile gold bricks like the local cavalry.

Hearing Imrik's words, Bruni thought for a moment. The fact that the prince wants to use humans to make up for Caledon's population shortage has been circulated among high-level officials for a long time, and they have also discussed it privately many times. There are far more voices than those he agrees with, and he himself has some disdain for these human monkeys, but the prince's next actions need a large population as a basis, otherwise so many places won't be turned into open spaces, and other elf kingdoms can stay away. The wild lands of Ulthuan have no interest,

"Even if they are used as soldiers, they are only soldiers attached to Caledor, not a regular military order."

Hearing the answer from the dragon prince beside him, Imrik nodded in agreement, but sighed secretly in his heart.

Even Bruni, who has followed him through life and death many times, is so resistant. The next thing to accept human beings may be really difficult. Maybe let Alariel come to enlighten them. As a prince, he only knows how to fight. It's a little tricky.

Even if it is stipulated in the system that they belong to the military sequence of the dragon court, obviously the people under them will not think that they are the same as Caledonian soldiers. This is an inherent idea of ​​cultural differences and traditional concepts, and it is difficult to change in a short time .

"Of course, we accept humans only to make up for the sparse population. Whether it is the colonization of Lustria or the expedition to Naggaros, a large number of people are needed, and the Caledonians cannot be allowed to do meaningless work. "

"It's good that you can understand this, I firmly believe that the next thing will be smooth sailing."
