Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 32
At this time, Fenubah finally knew why Imrik came to the War Council a few days later. He just wanted to take advantage of the time when everyone was in a hurry, and the lion opened his mouth, and said in a low tone, "Since Mr. Imrik It is naturally a good thing to want to participate in the trade, and when I talked about it with Sir Mikhail, he expressed his clear opposition, and I will send the Minister of Trade to discuss this matter with Caledor's special envoy."

He glanced at Finnuba calmly, Mikhail was the former dragon relative.

But Finnubar's words are a bit interesting. If it wasn't for his identity as a time traveler, he would have been deceived by this guy. It is true that the former Dragon Prince was not interested in trade, but part of the reason was Finnubar's induction.

Because apart from stones, Caledon only has armaments as a special product, and Finuba said that he will give Caledon a lot of financial assistance, as long as he defeats Drucci.

And hinted that if he performed well, he would support Imrik to run for the next Phoenix King, which allowed the former prince to focus on the war.

But the result is that Caledon's financial situation is getting worse and worse. The more people died in the war, the less likely it is to win. The dragon and the dragon prince will be bound to Finubar's throne.

After listening to Finuba's words, Lilaze gave a different condition, "Since the prince does not need money, I heard that Governor Greenton is presiding over the expansion of the Dragon Bay port, and Avalon will provide Caledor with A batch of high-quality timber expressed support, I wonder how many people and armaments the prince can provide now?"

Imrik, who got some of the things he wanted, nodded secretly. Although these things will not be profitable in the short term, they are a long-term project, "3000 troops and [-] sets of equipment."

Still not satisfied?While several other people were looking at Imrik, the Dragon Prince had already looked at Ai Zhuo and Gilgalion, waiting for them to make an offer.

"Tyren Locke can provide a batch of Iselama silver and [-] gold leaf coins." Ai Zhuo, who knew that this time he was bankrupt and exempt from disaster, sighed. Compared with casualties, he was more willing to let Imric take People solve the threat of Warcraft invasion.

In the end, everyone looked at Gilgalion, which made him feel very embarrassed. After all, he was still fighting with someone just now, and now he is waiting for his help, but there is no way. Yesterday's report has shown that there are several Manticores, Chimei Ra and the Hydra pulsed from Mount Annuli to the steppes of Elyon.

Let the cavalry deal with those giant beasts is simply whimsical, the effect of the Eagle Claw Ballista against these giant beasts is actually the same thing, and with the protection of Xie Yue, it is a bit whimsical to think that the ballista can kill the giant beasts .

Gritting his teeth, he said, "Seventy thousand gold leaves."

Unexpectedly, Imrik shook his head directly, "What makes you think I'm a lowly businessman, Prince Gilgalion, if you want gold leaf, I can just open the treasure house of the Dragon Palace and take the Doomsday Iron from it. The anvil trades with the dwarves, and their treasury has much more gold than yours."

At this time, Molarion, who was a peacemaker, suddenly got involved, "Caledor's devotion to Ulthuan is obvious to all, and it is appropriate to make some compensation. Yris will use a batch of Iselama silver to pay for it." In exchange for a batch of armaments, Alion should also show a little sincerity."

This shrewd old fellow, Gilgalion cursed secretly in his heart, but still said, "Alion will also exchange a batch of Iselama silver for armaments."

Unexpectedly, Imrik still shook his head, "It seems that you still don't understand what I mean, Prince Gilgalion, you insulted Caledor, I think it is necessary to use the most precious things of yours to make up for this mistake. "

The most precious thing?Soon Gilgalion thought of it, this guy wanted a war horse, and asked with a gloomy face, "How much do you want?"

Stretching out his index finger, Imrik spoke indifferently, as if it was a matter of course, "[-] horses, I promise that Ailion will not suffer any losses in this Twilight Tide, and the armaments will be given priority to Elyon's rider."

Looking coldly at Prince Long, who opened his mouth wide in front of the lion, Alion could take out so many war horses, but if he did so, it would not be such a simple court conspiracy after he went back, "Up to four thousand."

Unexpectedly, Imrik had no intention of haggling with him at all. He stood up and said to the Phoenix King, "Your Majesty, since Prince Gilgarion thinks it is trivial to insult Caledor , then after this twilight tide, I will personally go to Ariel to ask for an explanation."

Then I looked at the chief maid, "Ms. Lirazer, Caledor has two hundred dragon princes stationed in Avalon. I need them to return to Caledor and defend Caledor's glory with the dragon lord."

The situation of the meeting was at an impasse again because of Imrik's words. At the level of a prince, words are very important. Judging by Imrik's appearance, if Ailion did not give a satisfactory answer, he would not mind the delay. Thousands of years later, an elven civil war was waged after Malekith.

The reason is also very simple. Originally, the two sides were discussing continuously according to the tradition of Azul, but Alion insulted the Dragon Prince because of his inappropriate remarks, and the Caledon, who valued glory, heard that other kingdoms insulted the Dragon Prince and mobilized public opinion. Keben wanted to stop him, but he couldn't hold back the excited emotions of the people, so he led his troops to Elion in desperation.

It is also difficult for other kingdoms to send troops to help Ariel for this seemingly legitimate reason, and Ariel's strength is comparable to that of Caledon.

No matter how serious Caledo's strength declines, the Elyonians, whose main force is light cavalry, cannot touch porcelain.

At this moment, a magical projection suddenly appeared on the ring Lilaze put on the table, on which appeared a woman with an incomparably dignified and tranquil temperament, with long golden waterfall-like hair tied behind her head, and eyes like the most beautiful. As beautiful and restrained as a delicate jewel, with a perfect face, she is the eternal queen—Alarielle.

Seeing the Eternal Queen watching the War Council through a magic projection, everyone stood up except Finubar and bowed.

In the projection, the Queen told others not to be too polite. Alarielle looked at the Dragon Prince with a clear and pleasant voice, like the song of a lark. The reason for the conflict between the two countries, as Aisha's daughter, I hope you two can coexist peacefully."

To be honest, when Imrik saw the Eternal Queen for the first time, he was also a little surprised.

This woman is indeed beautiful, no wonder Brother Tai was fascinated by it, but suddenly it seemed like that, not only a pair of eyes, a nose and a mouth, not as good-looking as the silver moon dragon Agnegnir, huh, woman , will only affect the speed at which I make money.

He bowed slightly to Alarielle, and Caledon's attitude towards the Eternal Queen was a little bit better than that of the Phoenix King, and he began to sell miserably again, "Your Majesty, I never thought that since I succeeded to the throne, for the first time, Participating in the war council was like this. When the Phoenix King told me to go to Lothern, I wiped out all the monsters around Tal Kared as quickly as possible, and asked Randy to take charge of the court, just to fulfill the mission as soon as possible. Caledor's duty."

"Unexpectedly, I have heard that Prince Gilgalion is planning Caledon's scarce armaments before he has even stepped into the War Council. It really chills my heart, and his words are a serious insult to Caledon. If Without a reasonable explanation, the dragon and the lance might make Prince Gilgalion change his mind."

The Eternal Queen on the magic projection squinted her eyes slightly. As a person who has dealt with the courts of various kingdoms all year round, she knew the meaning behind Imrik's words.

Unexpectedly, Caledon, who only had glory and bravery in his mind, would be infected with the ugliness of Ulthuan politics. After thinking for a while, he spoke.

"One of the duties of the Eternal Queen is to maintain the peace of Ulthuan. The Dragon Prince said just now that he wants to participate in the trade. Avalon has the best quality wood and can entrust Cosque to build a trade fleet for Caledor. Make up for Caledor's years of fighting for Ulthuan."

This is a surprise, the cost of the fleet is not low, but this time it will offend all countries.

But Imrik didn't care about this matter. If it wasn't for Vaal Anvil and the Sleeping Dragon being in the Dragon's Back Mountains, he would have planned to carry the bucket and run away. This toilet seat, it doesn't matter.

"Your Majesty's great love, Caledon naturally accepts it with full respect, but Gilgalion must express it, otherwise the dragon court will be ridiculed, and the Caledon will also think that Ailion is evading responsibility because of the queen's protection. As a prince who has just ascended the throne for two months, it is difficult for me to control the domestic situation."

Imrik's implication is that with just this little thing you gave, I can not bring anyone to besiege Alion, but I can't control the people under me. It's another thing for them to organize volunteers.

Gilgalion also knew that this time he was going to spend money to avoid disaster. With the appearance of this Dragon Prince, if he didn't give a satisfactory price this time, even if the willingness to fight was suppressed by the Eternal Queen, the future armaments could only rely on I, and the blacksmith technology in Ailion's country, can only be said to need to refer to the smelting level of nomadic civilization.

Gritting his teeth, he said his offer, "Six thousand horses, this is the maximum quantity I can offer."

"For the sake of the Queen's tireless efforts to personally pay attention to the War Council, seven thousand horses, I think the Caledonians can feel this sincerity." Imrik made a gesture representing seven in Asur, " And I promise that all future armaments will be handed over to Alion."

Gilgalion looked at the others, and found that most of them didn't say anything. Eldraine and Moralion had gotten what they wanted, while Belannar had no interest in the struggle between these princes. The Phoenix King, who is greater than the real power, also counts on Caledo to stabilize the kingship.

Before Tyrion, a descendant of Enarion, emerged, Caledor was Ulthuan's most important reliance. Apart from the navy, he was the most able to fight. Even Cosque also needed Caledor's power. Ama This ancient sea dragon is still held by the dragon court, and three dragons are fighting in the navy.

In addition to being poor, Caledon is a bad start for Imrik. The previous princes paid attention to face and did not make money, but the current Dragon Prince, who is a time traveler, does not have this burden. Give these people a little face, just He will get on the nose and face, and if he doesn't make a fortune, he will be sorry for so many warriors who died in battle.

Prince Ailion, who understood the situation, nodded with difficulty. Of the [-] war horses, his family's racecourse must produce more than half of them. It can only be said that this war council, even if it does not participate, has not gained any benefits, and has caused a whole lot of trouble.
