Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 488 Shock and Response

When Judith came to the living room, he changed into his normal clothes, and his eyes were a little sharper than usual. From Imrik's point of view, there was a vague hint of toughness.

"Why does it feel like he's getting more and more furious?" After complaining in his heart, Judith, who didn't know what the prince was thinking, greeted first.

"Prince."

Imrik signaled to sit down first, and let Creon, who was standing guard next to him, sit down together.

Around the wooden table, the three dragon princes began to boast about the recent times.

At this time, Creon put on a smile that was hard to see, and asked Judith, "I heard that you almost took the head of the disaster of hell before. It seems that your martial arts have not regressed."

"Forget it, no one knows who killed the disaster in hell in the end. When we recover, the corpses will be reduced to pieces." Judith couldn't help sighing, and the biggest spoils were taken away by a group of furious people. The Dragon Prince was lost.

After getting angry, they didn't care about the prince's promise at all. A group of people set fire to hell, and the result was that they were killed, and no one knew.

"This is a good ending, and it's the only thing that makes me feel gratified." Imrik, who was on the main seat, witnessed the whole process, and wished he could get off the stage and kill Drucci himself.

After chatting about the battlefield of Naggaroth for a while, Judith began to talk about the business, "About Kislev, are you sure you want to proceed like this?"

The originally lively atmosphere instantly cooled down. Creon held the cup and stared at Judith who questioned the plan of the dragon lord. This young dragon prince actually felt sympathy for Mrs. Kisley. It is already the greatest honor in this life to make a little contribution.

As for Imrik, although he was not like Creon, everyone familiar with him knew that when his chin was raised slightly, nothing good would happen.

"So you have concerns about our original plan, thinking that this hiring operation only needs soldiers?"

Judith remained silent for a long time. The original plan was to support a political force independent of the Tsar's court and the Orthodox Church, but the premise of this was that someone actively sought political influence.

And the fastest and most effective way to make people change their minds is to ignore their needs and let them be oppressed.

Under the pressure of the two, he said slowly, "But is it too unfair? I have fought with them for eight years. In these eight years, I have seen many people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for you, and I have also seen people who are willing to give up their lives just because of orders. , They stick to one position until all die in battle."

"You pay attention to Lasker, and I have seen many people who are not inferior to him. Maybe these people are barbaric and don't know what civilization is, but they never lack sacrifice and courage."

"You are really..." Imrik shook his head and sighed. Elves are a sensitive race, which also makes them prone to paranoid characters. Judith seems to really regard himself as Madam Kisley's chief.

"But they have already been rewarded. We have delivered all the things we promised to them." Creon emphasized the spirit of the contract. The essence of mercenaries is to leave after finishing their work, and will never cause trouble to their employers.

If Judith really thinks that these people have become Caledor's foreign legion, they can enjoy supernatural treatment while not having to bear obligations.

"I don't think these returns are enough to offset a lost life. When they returned to Kislev, they found that all the people they saw had strange eyes, and the reconstruction funds that were exchanged for their lives were not enough. Respect, incomprehension, and even insult. How is this different from us in Ulthuan!"

Judith clenched his fist and said what was in his mind. He could remember the appearance of every dead person. When they had no scruples in giving their lives to him, he couldn't get them the treatment they deserved after death.

He couldn't do this, which was why he was willing to risk violating the authority of the dragon lord to come here. The requirements were not high, at least his family should be able to live a stable life.

Creon also fell silent, obviously recalling the previous situation. Caledor has been the absolute main force of Ulthuan since the Great Chaos Invasion, and most of the important battles have been the leading force, but the results obtained, but Just disrespectful.

The Dragon Prince of Caledor?This is the best sentence to describe elf arrogance.

"What you said makes some sense." Imrik withdrew some coldness. He really cared too much about the plan, but didn't think about human nature.

"I understand that this plan is the key to your deployment in the old world, but can you be more tolerant to these soldiers? They have been fighting for a long time, and the short lifespan of human beings determines that they can no longer persist." Judith's words were very sincere .

But Imrik did not directly answer this question, and instead said, "The next batch of mercenary plans... will be postponed for eight years, and you will go to Elengrad as a special envoy of Caledor in three years. This is my bottom line."

Judith's face was a bit embarrassed. He heard the meaning of the prince's words. The plan will not change. In the short term, these soldiers must have the idea of ​​changing. If he returns to Kislev with them now, It can be settled by means.

Laskoll will study at Cared Academy for two years. This is a political leader who supports him. He must lead these people who only know how to live all their lives to fight to the end until the prince is satisfied with the situation.

And the past two years may have been a very difficult time.

"I see, and I thank you for your kindness on their behalf."

After saying these words, Judith walked out of the living room uncertainly, preparing to go to the pier to see off those who had left his jurisdiction.

After he left, Creon's expression was unprecedentedly dignified. Perhaps Judith's family's influence in Caledor was far from great, but it was not a praiseworthy thing to question the sign of the dragon lord's order.

"Prince, for Judith..."

Imrik waved his hand to signal Creon to stop, and his eyes turned to where Judith was sitting just now.

"As I often say, the world is completely different from before. Not only other races need to face the impact of Caledor, but also how to deal with it. Caledon is also the same."

"The matter of Judith... follow my orders."

"Yes."

For Judith, Imrik still has a high level of trust, and is convinced that he will not do things that endanger Caledor's interests.

But in many cases, the way of doing things is always gray. If he insists that Kislev's affairs have become like this under his own control, it may be difficult to entrust him with important responsibilities in the future.

Although this incident ended in a bit of embarrassment, Imric did not intend to let it disrupt his schedule, and said to Creon,

"Well...the day after tomorrow, we will return to Kared."
