Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 40 Davian's Way of Greeting
After the strong wind stopped raging, the journey of Terrenlock and his party finally went much smoother, and Etila also rearranged her messy long hair on horseback.

At this moment, there was a rapid and orderly sound of hoofbeats, heard from behind the hillside in front, "Is it possible that Caledon is performing a military operation, this number is not at all like the welcoming team."

The long-term experience in the army allowed Etila to roughly guess the number of people ahead. There should be 500 people. This number is equivalent to the number of people who welcome the unofficial visit of the Phoenix King. She is just a princess, and Caledon will not take it seriously.

So he ordered the people behind to get close to the mountain range and give way to the people on the opposite side. If the army formed by the Dragon Prince was on the opposite side, with their character, Etila couldn't guarantee what would happen if they stood in front of them.

As she waited, the first thing that came into her eyes was Caledor's fire dragon flag, which made her even more sure of her thoughts. This is a battle flag that has been passed down for a long time, and it can give the soldiers fighting under the flag the energy of a dragon. As well as fire resistance, it is often used as a sign of the dragon lord's expedition.

But what followed was a little strange. The person holding the fire dragon banner was wearing the Dragon Prince's iconic dragon helmet and dragon armor, but the cavalry behind her was something she had never seen before. They had thick breastplates and helmets. The uncovered helmet, covering the limbs is not the armor commonly used by Azul, but a whole piece of plate armor, holding a silver-white lance and dragon shield in his hand, and an armor-piercing cavalry hammer hanging on his waist.

"This is Caledon's new army?" As people continued to appear from the hillside, Etila strengthened this idea, five hundred well-equipped and sharp cavalry.

Tyron Locke also needs to change. This idea first appeared in Etila's mind. She has had enough of those nobles with private soldiers. As her princess, it is not right to mobilize a standing army of 500 people at a time. easy job.

And when dealing with the Druzzi army that landed from Nagareth, they often need the support of other kingdoms, and mutual testing will waste many rare opportunities.

But Caledo can mobilize a newly formed 500-man cavalry with a random military operation.

While thinking about this, the team led by Dragon Prince gradually approached. They did not slow down. Instead, they were on the rugged mountain range like a plain, and they could manipulate the horses below them with ease.

The expected ignorance did not appear. When it was only four or five meters away and was about to pass by each other, Davian grabbed the reins of the horse and stopped urgently. For the elf horse, this kind of action is simply a piece of cake. And the people behind did the same, and Davian didn't seem to be worried about bumping into them at all.

Looking at the person holding the fire dragon banner in front of him, Etila felt a little familiar.

But before Etila thought about it, Davian had already said, "Princess Etila, I am Davian, the prince's personal guard, and I have been ordered to welcome you to the Dragon Palace this time."

When he said this, Davian's words were still polite, as long as you don't care about his haughty tone, as if to greet him personally, you are very lucky.

Etila, who knew the nature of the Dragon Prince, didn't care too much. Compared with Imrik's poisonous tongue, Davian was considered normal.

"Then please trouble Your Excellency Davian. The visit was sudden and there was no prior communication with the Dragon Palace."

"It's all right, anyone is welcome at the Dragon Court to pay tribute to Caledor's glory."

After finishing speaking, let some people go to the rear of Tyrannoroc's team, and he turned around and took the lead to continue walking.

Looking at Davian's back, Etila felt that this person might be Imric No. [-], no matter how he spoke, it was a bit similar.

A group of people began to embark on a journey in the Longji Mountains. The escort team of 500 people made the people in the middle feel extremely at ease.

At the same time, on the Dragon Claw Throne, Imrik listened to Morris' report, and put down the letter from High Priest Ardaeus in his hand.

"What! Davian took the 500 people to meet Etila."

Standing beside Morris wiped the cold sweat off his face. This was something he didn't expect, and it was enough to be a serious military command error.

Without clear instructions from both the prince and Randy, he led a team of 500 people and ran out of the station privately. If he is pursued, Davian may be deprived of his status as the Dragon Prince.

Imrik also knew the seriousness of this matter. He rubbed his temples and felt a headache. It was impossible for him to send Davian down.

He still has three barbarian skill points that have not been added, and his potential is extremely huge, but if no punishment is imposed, the tradition of building a country with military force will be broken because of him alone, and other dragon princes will also question his authority as a prince and justice.

"Let Davian come to see me first when he comes back, and Bruni, you take Princess Etila to the side hall to stay first, and I will personally receive her tomorrow."

There has to be a penalty, and Bruni, who also has serious defaults.

…………

Stepping into the gate of Kared, he found that Chief Morris had been standing there waiting for a long time. The sweat and anxious expression on his face made Davian immediately think of what happened, and felt a chill in his heart.

The [-] people I brought with me belonged directly to the prince's direct army. In name, only the prince had the right to mobilize. As a personal guard, although he had some command power, this power was very vague, ranging from one to dozens of people, but Take five hundred at once...

At this moment Morris hurriedly walked up to Davian, "Davian, the prince is already waiting for you, and Bruni is in the court."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Davian's reaction, he walked to Princess Attila at the back, and performed an impeccable courtesy first, and the expression on his face returned to normal, "His Royal Highness Princess Attila, Prince Due to urgent matters, I cannot receive you at the court today, I will take you to the Dragon's Rest Palace, please rest there for one night first, please forgive me for the impoliteness."

Etila, who was a guest, nodded. This is also in line with etiquette. Imrik is the only one in the dragon tamer family, and the court director is the best person to receive in an emergency. "Please lead the way."

Davian, with a sad face, first let the cavalry back to the training ground, and then rode alone on the horse, and rushed to the dragon palace slowly. He knew that this time he would be severely punished.

Still on the familiar Dragon Claw Throne, looking at Bruni kneeling on one knee in front of him, the Dragon Prince remained silent with a cold face. He had been kneeling here for half an hour, but the Prince still treated him as if he did not exist, and dealt with the things in his hands. thing.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from the entrance of the palace, and a huge wailing echoed in the empty space, "Your Highness, I took people to meet Princess Etila in accordance with your order, and you didn't specify clearly The number of people, for the sake of Caledon's face, I brought all of them."

Davian, who hurried to the throne, was howling non-stop. Seeing Imric on the throne with a cold face, and Bruni kneeling on one knee next to him, he knew what was going on.

Immediately, he also knelt down on one knee, still muttering, "Your Highness, am I thinking of giving Caledo a little shock to those Tyrannocrats? In desperation, I can only think of this method."

Looking at this clown, a smile appeared on his cold face, "According to what you say, is it my fault?"

Seeing the prince's sneer, Husky immediately shivered, "No, it's my fault."

Looking at the two of them speechlessly, although Bruni lowered his head, his keen senses could still tell that he was holding back his laughter, while Davian, the clown, had the expression of a little woman being abandoned.

Sighing, he didn't let the two of them kneel down again, "Get up."

After hearing the order, Bruni and Davian stood up. Bruni knew that the prince had calmed down. At most, he would only impose some formal punishment, and would not actually deprive him of his noble status.

Dawei'an, a stunned young man, didn't know, and was still chattering.

Imrik, who couldn't bear it any longer, scolded angrily, "Shut up, if you keep talking, I'll let you go to Avalon to dance with those princesses next year."

Shrinking their necks because of the prince's intimidation, many dragon princes have come back from Avalon one after another in the past time, everyone is sluggish and pale. During the internal competition, some people even rode Can't even hold the gun.

After questioning, it was said that the maids of Avalon held a farewell banquet for the Dragon Prince, which lasted for seven days and seven nights. When they returned by boat, they heard that their legs were shaking. Davian didn't want to experience such a life.
