Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 28 Contradictions with Ailion

Following a flash of white light, Imrik and Davian arrived at the prince's manor in Lothern. The servants who had been waiting here for a long time came to meet him immediately and led the prince to the master's room.

This manor was specially built by Finnuba for Prince Caledon in order to stabilize his status. Different from Caledon's decoration, it is full of gilt decorations and gorgeous gems, and sculptures and paintings made by famous artists can be seen everywhere.

Now Imrik is not in the mood to appreciate these things. In his opinion, it is best to take these things to the auction house to see if there is any bully who is willing to offer a part of Caledor's military expenses.

Walking on the road, he asked Aguilar next to him, he was the special envoy of Caledon in Lothern, "How many people from the kingdom have arrived?"

Imrik's special envoy spoke out the information without any pause, "Prince Eldraine of Tyrannok, Prince Moralion of Yris, High Magister Belannar of the White Tower of Hoeth, and A Gilgalion, Prince of Lyon."

Only the people from Charis and Cosque didn’t arrive, and they seemed to be waiting to cheat themselves. They ordered people to prepare the horses. Imrik needed to go directly to the War Council. They wanted to cheat themselves, so why didn’t they want to cheat them? , are all mutual, this time no matter how you say it, you have to bite off a big piece of meat from them.

Riding on the war horses, these are all transported from Caledon. As the seat of the Phoenix Royal Court, each kingdom will get a place similar to an embassy here. From a legal point of view, this is equal to the territory of each country, so it is also There will be a small troop stationed here.

Raise your head and squint your eyes and look into the distance, even in the manor near the inner city, you can still see the magnificent and miraculous building located at the entrance of the Lothern Strait - the Shining Lighthouse, with thousands of lights on it that will never go out. The magic lights in the city guide the passing trade fleets, and commerce is the best pillar of economic development. Compared with Lothern, Tar Cadre can only be regarded as an antique-level city.

No more thinking, there will be milk, there will be bread, the current problem is to solve the gradually weakening military power of Caledon, the problem of economic development will be solved later, and the horses will be driven forward.

Davian held Caledor's fire dragon flag in his hand, plus the iconic dragon armor and helmet, and the three of them were not interrogated along the way. After all, Caledon's temper is notorious in all kingdoms. Going up to check may also cause a whole lot of trouble.

Not long after riding, I came to the Phoenix King’s Court. There were gorgeously decorated columns and corridors everywhere, and even a large number of gemstones were dotted on the gate. I got off my horse and looked at the white lion guards who were standing guard in front of me. Kale's tone was kind for a long time, but he returned to the arrogance and indifference that the Dragon Prince should have.

"The Phoenix King invited me to the War Council, open the door."

After carefully observing Imrik and the two people behind him, the white lion guard on guard turned around with a magic communicator and said something. After a while, he put down the giant ax in his hand, "His Majesty the Phoenix King has been waiting for a long time, His Royal Highness Please come in."

After speaking, let someone open the ten-meter-high meteorite gate with two phoenixes embossed in flames, and invite the three of Imrik to enter. The weapons on the three of them are beyond these people's control.

In the final analysis, Ulthuan is just a loose political aggregate. The princes of various countries have great power, and the Phoenix King can only directly govern the kingdom in his hands. It is simply a normal thing to bring weapons to the Phoenix King.

After entering the interior, several maids led the Dragon Prince to the palace where the War Council was located with perfect etiquette. Since the early morning, the Phoenix King and the princes have been meeting with the princes for three days.

To be honest, if Imrik didn't want to sell equipment, he wouldn't want to participate in this war council at all. The elves have a long-standing tradition of holding meetings. Because the longevity species has a very vague concept of time, each meeting lasts for a long time. Once, the war council held for half a year because of different opinions on the proportion of troops sent by various countries to garrison overseas fortresses.

Before he walked in, he heard a man's voice from the palace, his tone a little angry, "Imrik must expand the export scale of equipment, because of the lack of armor, the outstanding knights of Ailion will not be able to do so after this dusk. The tide has taken a great deal of damage."

After hearing this, Imrik didn't even look at the maid who bowed and retreated, and even before the orderly servant standing at the entrance of the palace hadn't spoken, he said at the door, "It seems that the knights of Alyon That's all, if you can't keep the grassland left by your ancestors, the Cavaliers can take over your responsibilities."

As he spoke, he had already stepped into the palace. If he was a little more kind to these people, he would definitely slap his nose in the face. It would be better to maintain his usual attitude of being out of group.

He nodded to the chief seat, who was wearing the phoenix king's crown suit, that his identity would never bow to the non-Caledor Phoenix King, not only from the arrogance brought by Imrik's memory, but also from the dragon If the prince's status is passed back to the country, it will inevitably arouse public opinion.

Then he looked at Prince Ailion who had spoken just now. This old guy had a lot of conflicts with the former Prince Caledor. Ailion always insisted that their silver-helmed knights were the best riders in Ulthuan, but no matter in the tournament The performance on the battlefield is not as good as the Dragon Prince riding a horse. Apart from being able to crush the Dragon Prince in terms of numbers, it can only be said that the strength of the two sides is not in the same dimension.

"What do you think of Prince Gilgalion? I think your court can be established on horseback. Why don't you give Tar Ariel to Caledor. From then on, there will never be any dragons in the tournament." The appearance of the prince."

Enraged by Imrik's undisguised contempt, Prince Gilgalion wanted to directly draw his sword to teach the newly succeeded Dragon Prince a lesson. As an Elyonian who rode a horse and galloped on the boundless grassland since he was a child, this kind of insult It was simply unbearable.

But at this moment, Finnuba, who was sitting in the main seat, spoke, even a sailor who has traveled the world, after being crowned the Phoenix Queen, he will be full of majesty because he controls the most powerful empire in the world, "Im Sir Rick, this is a discussion of the War Council, and the conflict between you and Sir Gilgalion will be dealt with privately later."

Because of Finnubar's words, the two sides, which were originally full of gunpowder, eased up a little. Gilgalion also took advantage of the opportunity to find a step, looked at Imrik, and said in a fierce tone, "Your words are insulting the people of Alion. After the meeting , I need Caledo to give me an explanation."

Regardless of his provocation, he sat on a chair with a dragon embossed on it, put the ring symbolizing the Dragon Prince on the table, and said, "Is that so, since Prince Elyon wants an explanation, I will bring a few The Dragon Prince personally went to Ariel's court to explain."

Hearing this, Prince Alion's face turned blue and white. Who knows that the Dragon Prince would definitely not ride a few war horses and request to enter the city at the city gate, but directly bring the dragon and fly to the palace. Above, this is naked intimidation, this new kid who succeeded to the throne is even more arrogant than his father.
