Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 317 Katrin's Reply - Lifting a Rock to Shoot Herself in the Foot
The newly recruited mercenary carefully sat on the chair, watching every move of the Dragon Prince in front of him. He didn't expect that the leader of Caledor, who should be extremely short on time, would ask him to talk, and this talk lasted for nearly an hour.

Imrik, who was sitting on the chair, propped up his hands, looked at the soldier in front of him who was still highly nervous, and couldn't help but smile. Caledon's reputation is indeed not very good, and the training requirements for them mercenaries during this period are also very high. Very strict, and he also bears the title of Destroyer of the Damned City, which made this young man very nervous all the time, and the vodka on the table was not even touched.

"If there are no tasks, or when it's your time off, you will think about what to do, Lasker."

Hearing this, Raskol carefully glanced at the Prince of Dragons. Normally speaking, he asked Mrs. Kisley what she would do in her spare time. Of course it would be drinking or hunting, but obviously the Prince of Dragons was not looking for him. Wanting this answer, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

"Can you provide us with some books, or let people teach? It doesn't require much advanced knowledge, just a general understanding of some of the world's conditions." Raskell proposed an unrealistic possibility, that is Looking for knowledge. In Kislev, or in other words, in the old world, knowledge is firmly controlled by the church and the government. It is impossible to let the soldiers under him get in touch with knowledge other than fighting. Unless the ruler is a fool, it is impossible to do so. Do.

Because knowledge means change, rulers hate it, Tzeentch loves it.

But Imrik was just waiting for this sentence. This hour of conversation has already made him understand the growth experience of this Maozi soldier. He was sent to a missionary school to study since he was a child. He became a member of the church, but his father was severely punished by Boyer for failing to pay taxes. As a result, Raskol could only choose to join the army to make up for this vacancy, but unfortunately, his father was in the army the first time. He died two years later due to an outbreak of pain.

Generally speaking, he has received some education and understands the dark side of this country. Although it is a helpless move to join the mercenary army, he must not be reconciled to just being a landlord or doing business in the future, regardless of his personal thoughts , or the environment of Kislev...

"Of course, it is difficult for me to accept that the soldiers under me are all illiterate. I will have people translate some books into Kislev, and organize people to carry out literacy education." Imrik replied to Lasko Well, if you want to make a person into something, then knowledge is the best thing, they will deeply believe in what they want to believe, and fight for it.

"Thank you for your understanding."

At this time, Raskol sincerely thanked Imrik for his kindness. Kislev's literacy rate may not even be [-]%, and most of them are nobles and church personnel. He can receive some education, Or because there is only one only child in the family and the strong support of his father.

Just when he wanted to continue asking Prince Long if he could relax some employment requirements. Many people commit crimes because of no other choice. Mi Shan has already opened the tent and reminded,
"Masnow is back."

Imrik, who got the news, nodded, and then said to Laskel,

"I'm very glad that we can reach a preliminary consensus. The Dragon Palace will not treat its soldiers badly, even human mercenaries. I still have things to deal with."

The witty Raskol expressed his understanding, stood up and saluted, and then left. His clenched hands were full of sweat. Only when he had a close conversation with Imrik would he understand that what he was facing seemed to be not an elf, but an elf. It was a giant dragon, and the inadvertently revealed majesty made people shudder.

The soldiers who left the camp saw Masino and immediately saluted. He has roughly understood Caledor's military hierarchy in the past few days. Third, next is the normal Dragon Prince..., the penultimate is the war horse, and last is Mrs. Kisley.

Masnow also nodded to the saluting soldiers. He didn't have much thought about human beings, he was just a tool man, so he didn't take the initiative to salute and choose to ignore them.

Walking into the camp, I saw the prince whom I hadn't seen for a long time. Although I heard the voice yesterday, I was relieved when I saw it with my own eyes. Then I explained the matter,

"Katrin did not agree to this method, and her attitude was very strong."

Imrik waved his hand to show that he was not in a hurry, poured a glass of wine for Masnow, and then signaled Mi Shan who was standing next to him to bring a chair over to have a drink together.

"Tell her exactly what she said."

Masnow pondered for a while, imitating Katrin's tone and said,
"Kislev will not be afraid of any threats. We thank Caledor for traveling thousands of miles from Ulthuan to the old world to support him. We firmly believe that this should be a close exchange between the two countries and make greater contributions to the orderly world However, your country’s actions undoubtedly chilled Kislev’s heart, and also chilled the hearts of all the races that participated in this great holy war.”

"Your country's behavior is undoubtedly interfering in Kislev's internal affairs, and in the end it is only shooting itself in the foot. As the future female czar, I will never approve of this kind of action. Madam Kislev knows who led it. They survived the cold winter and resisted the invasion of the Chaos army!"

After finishing speaking, Maslow shrugged and said that there was nothing he could do about this kind of rhetoric. Once it involved interference in the politics of other countries, he would become very sensitive.

But if it is combined with the situation of Magnus, it will be a little different. Now the reputation of the pious in Kislev is much higher than that of the ice witch, which also makes Katrin choose to seek the support of the empire. , and these more than 1000 mercenaries are more like a reward for Caledo's support.

Imrik also smiled, but with a cold face, very good, since this woman is ignorant of flattery, then don't blame yourself for being ignorant of the overall situation.

To put it bluntly, the biggest beneficiary of supporting Kislev is the empire. Caledon can only find some refugees and soldiers from here, but the empire has an extra buffer wall, and he has no interest in this cold land. Think the temperature is not enough.

"Very well, since the future female czar is unwilling to accept Caledor's kindness, it is time to leave, so that people can keep in touch with Teclis, and we will head to Erengrad immediately."

Masnod nodded, stood up and prepared to give orders. Things in Kislev City have always been difficult to proceed smoothly. On the one hand, it was Katrin's intentional obstruction, and on the other hand, the Allied Forces of Order were still here, so it was difficult to do something. However, when he arrived in Elengrad, he would probably be able to get a satisfactory answer.
