Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 426 Conjecture
Davian thought for a moment, and planned to connect to Maslow's side to collect the information, whether all the ratmen who fled to the north had disappeared.

After a while, the magic frequency resonated, and Maslow's deep magnetic voice came out of the Philosopher's Stone, "What's the matter?"

"Did the rats leading to Slammupek disappear?"

"Actually I just killed some rats, but a little less than expected."

Davian frowned. It didn't make sense that there were rats around Slanwupek, but not on the road to Itaza.

"We haven't encountered a single mouse here, and I feel that something may be going on."

The Philosopher's Stone paused for a moment, as if considering how to deal with this matter.

"Sven and Rogier are on standby now. They are the reserve personnel to deal with emergencies. I will let the two of them take the dragon to your position." Although Masno didn't want to use the privilege of the champion warrior, But if something unexpected happens, it's better to have a layer of insurance.

"Well, I need some people to be responsible for reconnaissance operations." Davian nodded subtly, and after hanging up the magic communication, he sighed under Augsig's puzzled gaze.

The second magic swordsman asked curiously, "Don't you want to see the dragon army joining?"

Davian, who was running alongside him, said that was not the case, "It's not true, every dragon is the most important force in Caledor, with two dragons joining, both the morale and actions of the army will be much more stable. "

"It's just a pity that I don't have a dragon partner, and I'm still running on the ground on a horse." Davian shrugged, and his relaxed tone was full of helplessness. Originally, there were still a few dragons who hadn't found their companions after the Battle of the Fennoire Plain. , As a result, I ran to the old world with the prince, and when I came back, I found that Ingersthos was the only Star Dragon left.

As for the old urchin who stole a lot of things from him, Davian's teeth itch when he thinks about it.

Although Augsig wanted to say, wouldn’t there be a griffin without a dragon, but after thinking about it, Caledon doesn’t have a griffin rider, and maybe even if he finds a precious griffin for him, he will be full of disdain of rejection.

"Well, it seems that you have to wait a little longer. I'm also curious about what it's like for a magic swordsman to have a dragon partner."

"It may take a long time." Davian sighed. It is not easy for the dragon to wake up. Occasionally, after one or two wake up, they will be swarmed by the dragon prince.

My position determines that I can't always look forward to being in Caledor. I will probably go to Saffrey when I return to Ulthuan. As an important figure in the exchange between the two countries, I can only wait for the legendary dragon horn to come back from Eight Peaks Mountain and think about it. thing.

However, from the perspective of Bellegar, whom he had seen in the Great Jihad before, it is estimated that this matter is a bit suspenseful.

"Leaving aside the matter of the dragon, what do you think is the reason for the Ratman's situation?" Davian asked Augsig. He still has basic respect for this famous magic swordsman, otherwise he would not It may be reassuring to let him lead a team.

"It's hard to say, but based on my guess, if the Ratman didn't disappear completely in the north, there must be an important goal. The biggest possibility is to stop Slan Wupek's coalition forces and launch a surprise attack on Itaza." Ogg Sige said an idea, but he may feel that this idea is a bit unrealistic, and continued to explain, "But the possible success can only be said to be minimal. The defense line around Sky City has blocked most of the area. If you want to Let a large army reach Itaza without knowing it, unless they fall from the sky."

It fell from the sky?

Davian noticed this sentence, and suddenly an impossible possibility appeared in his heart. He spread out the map stuffed in the armor, pointed to the location of Itaza, and said, "The city of the sky stopped Pestilen. , Tyrion's navy stopped most of the skaven fleets coming to Lustria from the old world, but is there a possibility that these skavens bypassed our two lines of defense and came from the Spine of Sotek? Enter Itza from the west."

"But if this is the case, why did the Ratman disappear on the way between Sky City and Itaza? They should be used as cannon fodder to stop us." Augsig raised a doubt, which is a bit unreasonable no matter how you think about it , if you want to attack Itaza by surprise, you must block the roads in the three directions of Sky City, Misty City, and Moon City.

"But if the Ratman's goal is not to break through the sky city, but to get something from it, or send something in, as long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter how many people die?" Davian began to sweat coldly on his forehead. They were all on the front line preparing for a decisive battle, but it turned out that their home had been stolen. What else was there to fight?

"plague!"

The two said what they thought of in unison. The reason for the gradual decline of the lizardmen is that the hatching pools were polluted and abandoned, and Itaza must have the largest and most important hatching pools for lizardmen. If one or two plague monks successfully enter Among them, if his plot is allowed to succeed, this war may be considered in vain.

"Prepare to march quickly, and ask the dragon lord to send follow-up troops to Itaza, no." Davian immediately denied this order. If the Rat Man planned to attack Itaza as expected, he would definitely be on the front line Prepare for a decisive battle, Sky City does not lack combat power, but it cannot be dispatched at will, otherwise the war situation will be reversed.

Davian chose an idea that he had never thought of, and used the ancient sacred plaque he had obtained in Hesiota to contact the Caledon staff in the City of the Sun.

"I'm Davian, you go to Lord Mazdamurdi immediately, I have something important to tell him."

"Yes."

After a while, a somewhat uneasy voice entered Dawei'an's mind, "Elf boy, what's the matter."

"The Rats may launch a surprise attack on Itaza, I need your help."

clam?
Master Ma froze in his mind. This matter did not seem to appear in the astrological prophecy. Out of consideration for Itaza's importance, it still asked Davian patiently, "Elf boy, your evidence."

"There is not a single mouse from Sky City to Itaza. Although we don't know the specific situation at Seti Outpost, I think they must have detected some mouse movements." Davian plans to use Master Ma As a source of intelligence speculation, the Seti outpost is a lizardman stronghold west of Sotek's Ridge, and Caledor has no contact with it, so he can only ask Master Ma to find out if there are any traces of rats there.

After a while, Master Ma's deep voice entered Davian's mind again, "Elf boy, continue with your business, I will arrive at Itaza if necessary."

After finishing speaking, Master Ma hung up unilaterally, leaving only Davian to think about how to deal with this matter. He must tell the prince the news so that he can prepare for the decisive battle in advance.
