Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 45 The Obsession with Chariots
"A thousand sets of enchanted equipment." At this time, Etila was testing Imric's bottom line, and she was also greedy for those enchanted items.

Tyrannok suffered a lot during the Great Split, and many things were not preserved. In the state of the Outer Ring Kingdom, it was barely possible to use the chariot to regain some face.

However, there are only two places in Ulthuan that can produce such things on a large scale, one is Saffrey, but they can only guarantee the magic equipment of the elite Sword Master of Hoeth, and they cannot export it.

The other is the Vaal Anvil, but each Dragon Prince strictly controls the export of magic equipment, resulting in most of the existing magic equipment in Tyrannok being in the hands of those nobles.

But who knows that Imrik didn't believe her words at all, "Forget it, your family's financial situation may not be very good, let's be more realistic."

Tyrann Locke is a more important part of his future plan. Imric only knows the general direction of the Battle of Fennuval Plains, but Druzzi's army must land from Nagareth, and then divide into several groups The attack began, and the Nagaris army led by the Shadow King was unable to resist and could only fight guerrillas.

I don't want the flames of war to extend to the edge of Caledor. Even if the Dragon's Back Mountains are easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are still risks. If a large number of Druzzi assassins ignore checkpoints and other military facilities, It was a huge blow to assassinate the dragon and steal the dragon's egg without sacrificing his life.

Tyrann Locke is Caledor's natural line of defense, and he understands the truth that a dead fellow Daoist will not die a poor fellow.

And Etila must have purchased this batch of armaments through private channels, not through the kingdom's finances, otherwise the aristocratic council would have been able to discuss the transportation route for two years.

Etila, who originally thought that Imrik would accept the order without hesitation, was a little hesitant. She heard from her father that the Dragon Prince was similar to a businessman, valuing money over love, but now it seems that this is not the case.

After thinking about the family's financial situation, Attila said hesitantly, "If I buy armaments, can you provide training?"

Imrik, who was still a little sluggish at first, regained his spirits when he heard this. This woman wanted to go the same way as herself, and she took the initiative to get rid of the control of the Inner Ring Kingdom. I'm not afraid that you have no ideas, but I'm afraid that you won't be able to help her up. "It depends on what it's like. If it's just training at the militia level, I think that old fellow Aedrow is better at it than me."

Seeing Imrik leaning on the chair with a face of indifference, as if this matter was just a dispensable thing for him, Etila hesitated a little.

If you build an army that uses all enchanted equipment, the cost will be extremely high. I have a medium-sized mine in Baifeng, which is an adult gift from my father. Even if I invest all of it, I may not be able to form an elite Level troops, thought about it, and threw the question to Imrik.

"What do you think Tyrann Locke lacks?"

Immediately, she raised her eyebrows. This question is interesting. This is because she wants to provide her with a package service.

After thinking about it, I felt that it was necessary to give her a sense of crisis. If it was just a slow preparation, in the next battle, Tyrannock would be severely damaged, then it would not be in Caledor's interest. Establish an outer ring alliance headed by Caledor to counter the power of the inner ring.

"Everything is missing, I can give you a piece of information."

"Please say."

Picking up a glass of wine, he took a sip, "Soon, the Witch King will land in Ulthuan."

For long-lived species, two years is indeed a short time, which is equivalent to two months for normal people.

Frowning, she listened to the information Imrik gave her, "What do you mean by that?"

Drank the contents of the glass, the special wine produced in Lothern is indeed much better than Caledon's swill, and said slowly, "It's just a warning, of course you can also treat it as my wine." nonsense."

Silent for a long time, Etila was considering the authenticity of this matter. Since Finnuba took the throne, it has begun to end the 800-year glorious torment period of Druzzi, which is also the era of ocean plunder. With Asul in his hands, it can be said that the situation is very good, and Teren Locke has also gained a lot of benefits from it.

But Imrik was just waiting for his answer with arms crossed, and he was a little uncertain about the authenticity of this matter. There is a tradition in Ulthuan, Caledor in wartime, and Saffrey in non-wartime, referring to the crowned phoenix King's choice.

There is no doubt that, except for the idiot Kaledo, every prince is a military strongman, and his performance is also a bit strange. If you want to sell equipment, you should agree to it from the beginning. Finally, Etila thought of it what's the situation.

"So, you want Tyrann Locke to act as Caledor's barrier."

"It seems that you are not as stupid as I imagined, Princess Etila." Hearing this slightly mocking words, Etila felt a nameless anger rising in her heart, being restrained by the Inner Ring Kingdom and being restrained by the noble council. Containment, looking for cooperation now, but still being restrained.

At this moment, Imrik, who was sitting opposite her, continued to say, "You are too weak to be a disadvantage to Caledor. The Tyrannok army lacks cavalry and giant beasts. When dealing with Drucci alone It will be difficult to resist, and Caledor will provide a little support, but it will mainly depend on you."

"What do you want to do." Imrik's words calmed her down a bit. This guy can only listen to half of what he said. If the other half is serious, Edtila thought about it. Anyway, she can't beat it, so she better not take it seriously.

He took out a map of Ulthuan and spread it out, stood up and pointed to Nagareth, "If you don't want the flames of war to spread to your land, then concentrate your forces to build a line of defense in Nagareth, and Terrenoc Tank troops are the main force, but I think you should also be aware of the limitations of tanks, Nagareth is a wasteland, once your tanks appear, they will be detected, and there is no way to attack from the side."

The problem with the chariot is that it turns slowly, eats the terrain, and has low speed. Although it has been strengthened in a fantasy world like Warhammer, so is the enemy. Once you encounter a well-trained heavy infantry phalanx, the best ending is to rush in In the end, the men and horses were killed together, so the cooperation of the cavalry was often needed. When the chariot charged and broke through the formation, the cavalry followed up.

Of course, if you encounter giant beasts, such as hydras and abyssal sirens, you can only hope that these auxiliary cavalry are all masters of the Holy Grail.

As for the situation of Tyrannoroc, it can only be said that as long as military nobles with a little money, even if they borrow money or go bankrupt, they will buy a silver chariot, which leads to the number of silver helmet knights being much smaller than other kingdoms Most of those on horseback are scouts and orderlies.

Caledon does not have a troop of silver-helmed knights, because most of the military nobles have been determined since the time of dragon trainers. Their ancestors all rode dragons, but they chose to ride horses to fight when they had no choice, but one is worth three , so it can also be called a cavalry power.

After thinking for a while, Princess Etila proposed an idea that Imrik hadn't thought of, "Can I get a batch of enchanted silver chariots?"

Enchanted Silver Chariot?Hearing this, Imrik wanted to laugh on the spot. How obsessed these Tyranocians are with chariots. I said so myself. I must want to help them form a cavalry to assist the chariot charge. The troops, after all, still ran to the chariot.

"Etila, the cost of a silver chariot is not low. If it is enchanted, first the horse armor needs to be enchanted, then the body, plus the driver's equipment, how many vehicles do you think you can buy?"

"My suggestion is that Caledon will train a cavalry unit for you. The training and armament expenses will be settled in three years, and the Bel Keke family's marble mine in Baifeng will be used as collateral. If it is not settled during the period, Caledon will At most ten years of operating power."

Hearing this, Etila's green eyes widened, a little unbelievable, she thought what her father said was just a lie, but she didn't expect to show her feet in the end. This guy is just like those businessmen in Lothern, talking about it Go, or talk about money.
