Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 29 Selling Miserably?My Dragon Prince is a professional
Looking at the people on the opposite side of the table, this conference table can only be seated by figures of the Phoenix King and Prince level. Facing him is Gilgalion, the prince of Elyon, and next to him is Tyrann Locke from the game. Princess Etila's father, Prince Eldraine, and the current Saffrey High Magister Belannar, next to him is Eltharion's father, Prince Moralion.

After Finnubar mediated the conflict between the two again, the war council continued. Ai Zhuo spoke first, and he first said to the Phoenix King, "Your Majesty, it is difficult for Tyranok's chariot troops to fight in the mountains, and your subordinates The equipment of the soldiers is also a bit outdated, and they lost a lot when they resisted the Druzzi invaders before, and the domestic magic furnace can hardly support the replacement of equipment."

After listening to Ai Zhuo's words calmly, the relationship between Tyrann Locke and Caledor is not bad, because the two countries border and are located in the west of Ulthuan, so they have been attacked by the Druzzi pirates for a long time.

Caledon is not afraid of the Druzzi pirates, because no one lives by the sea except for some fishing villages, but in order to protect the sleeping dragon, there are a large number of strongholds on the coastline.

However, Aizhuo’s words are obviously intended to make a fortune from himself. The reason Imrik treats Gilgalion so tough is that he has only succeeded to the throne for two months. If his attitude is not tough, then the next negotiation will inevitably be rejected They hold back.

Just after Ai Zhuo finished speaking, Gilgalion, who was sitting next to him, continued to speak, "Elion lacks suitable mines, and Ailion people are not good at smelting metals. Your Majesty, we need a batch of equipment for Ailion. The knights are replaced, and the army is needed to support the battle in the Annuli Mountains."

On the contrary, Belannar and Moralion did not speak. The White Tower of Hoeth has a unique forging technique. Although it cannot be mass-produced, it is sufficient for use. The strength of the upper militia is not inferior to that of Caledor, so there is not much demand for equipment.

He turned his head and looked at Finuba. As a newly crowned Phoenix King who has been crowned for more than 100 years, he actually does not have much authority other than his own country. Actively promoting Usuan's foreign trade, the princes and princes of various countries who wanted to seek some changes at that time elected him as the Phoenix King, and let him take the blame if the reforms failed.

In other words, the few people sitting here can actually ignore him. Regarding this matter, Finuba also knows that he is also actively cultivating the nobles at the bottom, hoping to break the Usuan politics dominated by the princes, but now , he still depends on the faces of the princes.

When he found that Imrik was looking at him, Finnuba picked up the scepter of the Phoenix King and waved it intentionally. Instead of responding to them, he said something else, "Mr. Imrik, Since your father died in the heroic battle against Drucci, I am deeply saddened that Ulthuan has lost a prince, and the Phoenix Court has lost a warlord."

After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment, and continued to speak, "The position of war lord is now vacant. I trust Prince Caledor's ability, but you are too young to take over. I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. If this twilight tide, can you Perform as well as the previous prince, a position I think all countries will believe that only you can fill."

Finnubar's words made Imrik curl his lips secretly, and he painted the big pie before he gave any benefits. Most of the war lords let Caledon be right, but he knows that he is optimistic about it. The candidate is Tyrion. Tyrion was born in the lower class of nobles and has little ties to the kingdoms. He is the most suitable number one thug.

Besides, if he wants to be a war lord, he must spend his old money to support the kingdoms to survive this twilight tide, and sell the equipment at a low price, not to mention the subsequent battle of the Finnoir Plain. The former prince is because of these This incident almost cost him everything. This war lord is not even a dog.

After thinking it over clearly, he pretended to be sad because he mentioned his deceased father, and said in a sad tone, "Your Majesty, Caledon was depressed after I succeeded to the throne. The news of his deceased father's death is a huge blow to the Dragon Court. Few people are discussing whether the Dragon Tamer family is qualified to continue to lead Caledon, the position of war lord is really difficult to bear."

Comparing misery, right? I'll directly raise the right to rule to see who is more miserable than myself.

When these words related to the right to rule were spoken, there was a lot of discussion in the palace for a while, and the princes and princesses of various countries sitting behind were whispering sideways.

Only Davian and Aguilar listened to Imrik's words with strange expressions on their faces, doubting the rule of the dragon tamer family because of the death of the previous prince?At that time, Caledor was very excited, saying that he wanted to recruit a large number of people to avenge the prince. How did it become like this in Imrik's mouth?

Fenuba, who was momentarily speechless by Imrik's words, did not expect that the Dragon Prince would not play his cards according to the routine. Based on the previous speculation about his character, he would definitely take over the responsibility without hesitation, even if he didn't want to be one. I will definitely refuse it directly, how can it be sold miserably.

The captain of the White Lion Guard, Kosir, who was still standing beside him, made a rescue for him. The handle of the giant ax hit the ground hard, making a crisp sound, and then said in a deep voice, "Quiet."

The noisy palace suddenly fell silent. At this moment, Belannar, who was the supreme mage, stood up, looked at himself, and said calmly, "Prince Dragon, the largest Vaal Temple in Ulthuan is in the Dragon's Spine Mountains. And Caledon, as the kingdom with the strongest military strength, must be able to provide support to other kingdoms, as assistance beyond responsibility, I think the kingdoms will provide you with a satisfactory amount of funds."

To be honest, Imrik was waiting for Belannar's words. As the kingdom of mages, Saffrey rarely participated in court struggles, and other kingdoms would also deliberately avoid Saffrey, because Ulthuan's biggest The food production area is there, if you provoke them, you will have no food to eat.

And Belanar himself is quite tired of this kind of endless political game, he must be the first to raise it, and Imrik can put forward the conditions. Before that, he can only play Tai Chi with other people endlessly.

And Finuba also followed the words of the Supreme Master, "Sir Imrik, I know you have difficulties too, but Ulthuan is being attacked by monsters, and the lives of countless Azul are in danger. If Caledo is willing Support, I will pay [-] gold leaf coins alone from the royal court's finances as assistance funds to Caledon."

Thirty thousand gold leaves?As for sending beggars, I want to get things from myself with this little money, and there is no door. If I don’t give 30, I just want to fart.

He rubbed his chin and pondered for a while, pretending that he was also in a very difficult situation, "Your Majesty and His Excellency Belannar's words are indeed true, but the activity of the volcano in the Dragon's Back Mountains is constantly decreasing, which makes it difficult for the priests of Val. Excellent equipment is produced on a large scale, and the armaments given to the kingdoms every year have already taken up part of the Caledonian army."

After finishing speaking, the tone was a bit more awkward, and then said, "Since the late father became the war lord, a large number of Caledonian troops have been sent to other regions. The number of troops in my hand is even difficult to protect Caledonian. To support this matter, It's hard to do."

At this moment, Moralion glanced at Imrik, who was full of embarrassment, with a surprised look, and thought to himself, "Caledor's stone-headed minds finally have an enlightenment, and this may be a good thing."

The others secretly thought something was wrong. Imrik was much more proficient in handling things than his father. They believed that the output of Val's anvil equipment was decreasing, but from the previous information, Caledonian A standing army is being recruited, and there is no possibility of a small number.

The subtext in Imrik's words is that there is not enough money, so the price has to be increased.
