Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 503 The result of negotiation is often a compromise
After the ambassador said these words, Mazov knew there was something wrong. It seemed that the elves also noticed the situation in Erengrad, but for some purpose, they did not take any action on it.

"Of course, since I returned to Kislev, the gunpowder in my bag is almost damp, and I have never fired a single shot. Although this kind of peaceful life is very desirable, there will always be people who interfere with our hard work. The result in exchange."

"This is something to be happy about. In terms of the short lifespan of human beings, your age is no longer the golden age of soldiers. You should be an officer to teach young people experience."

"But the reality makes it difficult for us to do the expected work. In fact, I came to the embassy to ask for your help."

Ambassador Rachel paused for a while, and asked in confusion, "According to the employment contract, Caledo seems to have nothing to do with you. In fact, you were able to enter this room because of the letter that His Excellency Oliveira asked me to deliver some time ago."

"Of course, of course, of course I know about this matter. But because of some irresistible factors, I can only turn to you now." Mazov couldn't help nodding, and his originally peaceful temperament gradually became fierce, and continued, "In fact, I Now I have two employment agreements in my hand. One is that the Church of Ulric invites Misha Eagle to assist in clearing the Beastmen in Duncanwald Forest. The conditions are very good. Maybe in another ten years, Misha Eagle soldiers can Turn yourself into a follower of Ulric."

"And the second agreement is Agrim of Karak Kadrin, hoping that Misha's Eagle will go to the World's Edge Mountains as a mercenary to provide some help for the dwarves to recover Mount Gombard."

Glancing at the still calm ambassador, Mazov will conclude, "Whichever I take, Misha's Eagle won't be in Kislev anytime soon, and Ulysses of the Light of Daz isn't Dislikes asking for help, preferring to do practical things with his hands; Prokin of Winter's Icicles has entered Kislev and lost contact with us."

It's funny...a brute who hides his keen eyes with a menacing image.

Ambassador Rachel, who is good at analyzing all kinds of intelligence, quickly heard the meaning of Mazov's words. He seemed to have guessed Caledor's plan and threatened Misha's Eagle's next actions.It would be a joke if Raskol returned to Kislev, even though he was full of anger and enthusiasm, but no one was available to him.

Neither Ulysses nor Plotin is suitable for the person who is expected to support, and now there is still a year before the retired non-commissioned officer returns.

"You seem to be blackmailing me?" The ambassador also changed his temperament, as a kind of temptation.

"I don't deny this statement. You have your own goals, and we also have our own needs, but the results are often obtained through mutual compromise."

The ambassador suddenly laughed and waved his hands to signal the guards hiding in the dark to retreat. A wise man knows how to endure and wait.

"Haha, you're such an interesting person. I've read the reports about you. Except for the cruelty and lifelessness of the battle, there seems to be nothing worthy of attention. But I'm afraid those evaluators are blind and missed such a suitable person. You A better fit for our plan than that stupid head of Raskell."

"No, he is more suitable than me, from the beginning to the end." Mazov let go of the hand holding his knee, and mutual compromise is the fastest way to end the matter.

He needs to let Caledo understand that this plan is feasible, but he, a person who knows the inside story, cannot develop in the most ideal direction.

Rachel waved again to let the guards in the dark back out. He wasn't worried about Mazov. Maybe this savage had some strength, but the most important thing Caledon lacked was strength.

A smart person is always more useful than a stupid one. Since Lasker hasn't returned yet, the layout can be started with him.

"Tell me what you know about the city of Kislev. With your brain, you can definitely bypass the idiots in the city hall and make Misha's life better than it is now."

It seems that Caledor has indeed lost control of Elengrad, and he may just have a guess about many things.Mazov thought to himself that the revelation would only give him a vague impression of the scene, but if he wanted to analyze the information in it, he had to rely on analysis and contemplation.

"Vampire, Queen Catherine has become a vampire of the Lahmian family."

When this information came out, even Rachel, who had cultivated for a hundred years, was shocked, and his pupils dilated unconsciously.

Regarding the closure of Kislev City, the embassy has done a lot of work, and believes that the most likely reason is that the female tsarist began to have a tendency to worship the dark gods, otherwise it would be difficult to explain a series of weird operations.

But now that I was reminded, I quickly noticed some details that I hadn't paid attention to before. Many people from the family related to the female czar were sent to the court, including a large number of newborn babies and virgins.

"When did it happen?" The ambassador lowered his voice and did not despise Mazov any more. If it is true, the plan needs to be changed immediately.

Mazov clenched his hands, and slowly told him a secret told to him by the gods, "In the third year after the end of the Great Holy War, Melissa from the top of the Silver Spear came to Kislev as a guest, and the Queen has been deeply Afraid of the fact that her father died among the Eternal God contestants, she prayed in front of Ersun's altar to gain strength, but the final result..."

Not wanting to talk too much about the relationship between the gods and the believers, he told what happened afterwards, "She thinks that her own strength has been difficult to break through the shackles of life, especially seeing the savior defeat the eternal world under the protection of the two imperial gods. She was chosen by God, so she chose to give up her human identity and embrace the kiss of blood instead."

"Her current hibernation does not turn Kislev into Sylvania. She is only afraid of the savior and the Dragon Prince who doesn't know if he will make a move. Now the closed city of Kislev is completely under her control , the Prokin who entered it some time ago has been transformed into a vampire, and now the Hetman in Ehrengrad is also the same."

"You sent us a very useful piece of information, but how can I be sure that what you said is true? I didn't want to exchange it for more favorable conditions." The ambassador leaned back on the chair, although he was asking, he vaguely believed these words.

"God always favors two kinds of people, one is the saint, after they die; the other is the villain, while they are alive."

Although the words full of metaphors did not directly answer the question, the ambassador looked at him in surprise. If everything is attributed to the gods who have not manifested for a long time, they seem to be able to explain clearly.

"So you agree with Caledon's approach when you have the favor of the gods?"

A cruel smile appeared on Mazov's face, "The gods have their thoughts, and I don't care what they think, but I care how I live, and whether this country is still ruled by a group of idiots. Since this plan may make Kislev is getting better and I don't mind doing it my way."

"Very good, very good. Mazov Hopkin, I admire you very much. If it were not for the reason of your position, I would definitely choose you as Caledon's spokesperson in Kislev." The ambassador made no secret of his admiration for the villain, Tell me some preparatory plans, "I will report this matter to the court. The Royal Chamber of Commerce of Caledor will hire Misha Eagle as a crew member to be responsible for the delivery route from Erengrad to Marienburg and Estalia, At least for a year's time."

"As for the vampire czar you mentioned, I hope that no one will know about this news until our hero Lasker returns to the motherland." The ambassador's eyes were slightly threatening, and he had already thought of several plans to quickly let the Lasker, who has returned home, can establish his prestige only by using this female czar as a stepping stone.

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't stay here, but accept the employment contract of the Urick Church, wait ten years to become a believer of the White Wolf God, and maybe give me the title of White Wolf Knight. "

The two reached a short-term consensus, each with their own goals, the ambassador needs to let the prince decide the next move as soon as possible.

As for Mazov, a villain cannot guess the logic of his actions, and maybe this step is just an action he just thought of.
