Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 38

Imrik, who had achieved further negotiation results, stepped out of Terrenlock's position. Although he didn't get thousands of horses from Alyon like Randy, it was not bad overall.

Eldraine has promised to send a fleet to establish a colony with Caledor during the colonization activities in the next few years. Tyrannoroc will get part of their colony's tax revenue, and the other part will be used as Caledor's military expenses for maintaining the colony. The specific ratio is given by Depends on the development of the colony.

And will assist Caledor to defend the coastline, but Imric needs to pay part of the armaments, and the military expenses will be paid by Eldraine himself. This matter will still be valid after Altila becomes the prince, which is his guarantee.

The two sides did not leave a paper agreement, but made verbal promises, but Imrik was not afraid of Eldraine's breach of contract. If he wanted to contend against the noble council, he had to find external support.

Finnubar is hopeless, and the relationship between Ai Zhuo and the Eternal Queen is not very good. Although he values ​​interests, Ai Zhuo also knows that as long as he makes a promise, Caledonian will abide by it.

Looking at the Caledor army collecting trophies, Imrik couldn't help but feel relieved. Our Caledon is poor, but we can fight. If we can't do it, let a few people go overseas to form a wandering army, and do some sneaky things. Fill military spending.

Ordered to rest here for a day, the tide of twilight has gradually passed, the influence of the evil moon Mosribu has begun to stay away from this world, and the Ulthuan countries have finally survived this crisis.

But Imrik knew that the real crisis was yet to come. There were still two years before Druzzi's large-scale attack on Ulthuan, and a quarter of an hour in these two years could not be neglected.

No matter how good the conspiracy is, it will be powerless in the face of absolute power. Soon, all countries will suffer the worst losses since the Great Separation because they underestimate the threat from the North.

…………

On the training ground next to the Dragon Palace, Imrik was fighting Masno with a halberd in his hand. Compared with the long sword, the dragon princes are better at this kind of long-handled weapon in foot combat. The confrontation between the two I saw a series of white lights flashing, making it difficult to see the trajectory.

The people next to them watched the battle between the two intently, hoping to learn something.

After several moves, Imrik pushed away Masno's halberd, and placed the tip of the halberd with a cold light on his neck, announcing the victory of the battle.

Taking back the halberd, Prince Long praised, "You played well, it seems that you haven't let up during this time."

And Masno also shook his head helplessly, fighting against the dragon lord is a thankless thing, from the blessing of the dragon, Imrik not only has extraordinary strength, but also has a sharpness similar to that of a beast Intuition, often just as the arm is waved, the prince already knows what his next move will be.

"The strength of the prince is far inferior to mine, and your martial arts can even compare to Edresser's blade."

Throw the halberds to the people watching the battle. These halberd-bearing troops have been appointed by Imrik as the guards of the Dragon Palace. The troop designation is Dragon Halberd Guards. The second duty is to protect the prince.

In order to save face, Imrik also spent a lot of money. Everyone's armor has been enchanted three times by Vaal priests, which improves fire resistance, energy recovery and reduces physical damage. There is even a red fire dragon pattern on the back Zhang cloak, the traditional dragon wing helmet is indispensable.

The halberd is rebuilt using meteorite iron and wood from Avalon. These minerals are very rare even in the mines of the Dragon's Back Mountain Range. Under Rick's order, it was used to make the halberd, which also had three enchanting effects, ignoring part of the target's defense, increasing damage, and flame attack.

Compared with the two-handed heroes, the equipment of the dragon halberd guards can only be said to be the gap between the air force and the fourth class.

Hearing Masno's words, Imrik laughed for a while, "I didn't expect you to say these words, Masno. It seems that you are not used to being a general. Do you need me to transfer you back to guard the coastline?"

Shaking his head quickly, Masnow didn't want to squat by the sea every day, guarding the place where the birds don't shit, not to mention boring, and always pay attention to whether there are pirates of Drucci.

He ordered the others to continue training, and walked to the pavilion next to him with Masnow. It has been more than a month since the last time he supported Tyron Locke and returned to Caledor, and many things happened during this period.

Randy, who came back from Alion, brought back [-] elven warhorses. When passing through the Eagle Gate, he explained to the defenders, "They are all noble and spiritual creatures. I feel that Alion is no longer It is suitable for the survival of the ethnic group, and seeing that Caledon's army is huge and strong, he volunteered to follow us to Caledon."

Afterwards, Gilgalion asked Imrik what was going on through the magic communication. He agreed that if he took away [-] of the [-] horses, he would only deliver the remaining [-].

And Imrik's answer was also very rigid. He didn't care about the pressure exerted by Fenubah at all. These horses voluntarily followed Randy to Caledor, and it had nothing to do with the original [-] horses. If the mountains were found by the dragon and taken away, Caledo would not say a word, but the seven thousand war horses had to be sent to him one by one.

Pour Masnot a glass of the wine produced by Calleto. Although it can only be regarded as stagnant water compared with the wine produced by Lothern Chateau, it is still good to moisten the throat.

And he was not polite, picked it up and took a sip. In the military camp, the relationship between the two parties is not as strict as in the palace.

"Prince, who do you plan to send to this celebration?" Masnow said suddenly.

There was no immediate answer to his question. This matter had been informed a few days ago. Every ten years, Ulthuan would hold a large-scale celebration.

After the great loss caused by the Tide of Dusk, Finubar also needed the greatest celebration since his coronation to appease the peoples of the nations.

There are several highlights of the celebration, the art exhibition and martial arts competition. The art exhibition includes competitions in various categories such as poetry, painting, music, sculpture, etc. The winners of the first prize are often invited to serve as court artists in the Phoenix Royal Court. The rest accepted invitations from other courts on a voluntary basis, and this celebration was a chance for those artists to make a splash.

And Caledo is a group of people who sleep with their guns in their arms. Masino will definitely not be concerned about this. He is asking about the martial arts tournament.

The martial arts competition is a place where fighters from all over the world show their bravery. There are not many categories. Foot combat, cavalry combat, archery, and chariot are the four main events. Other horse riding and chariot racing are more entertaining than competitive. It has ornamental value.

Courts and folks from all kingdoms can participate. Although there are usually many strong men who emerge from the army, most of the champions are contracted by various courts.

Those who win the championship in the first four events will be invited to join the honor guard of the Phoenix King. This depends on the wishes of the champion. Caledo often wins the championship of riding, but no one joins Finnuba in the guard.

They are not allowed to participate, including the high-ranking dragon princes. There are unspoken rules in it. The cutting-edge combat power of each kingdom is not allowed to participate.

Although this thing has no practical significance, the champion can get a lot of bonuses. Judging from the scale of Lothern's holding this time, there should be thousands of gold leaves, and there may be one or two exquisite weapons and armor.

"You and Davian will participate in foot battles, and Bruni will participate in cavalry battles. We will not participate in archery and chariots. There is no need to worry about this. The magic of the acquired ancestor dragon tamer will be activated again. I need you to be ready .”

Masino nodded to show that he understood, drank the contents of the cup, picked up the halberd at hand, bowed his head to the prince, and then joined the training team. As a dragon prince with dreams, he always wants to find A dragon companion who once lost faith in this dream due to age and the increase of sleeping dragons.

But after Imrik succeeded to the throne, he regained this belief and kept himself in the best condition at all times to meet every challenge.
