Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

War is a continuation of politics, and in a way it is.

It takes countless energy to wage a war, and the problem can only be solved after paying a heavy price, while politics only needs reasonable planning and coercion to get what is sent to the war.

The generals of the Patriotic Army who were studying in Caledon may still have this idea. After all, they are all Mrs. Kisly. Even if the tsarist court and the Orthodox Church can hardly meet the reasonable needs of mercenaries, there is always room for negotiation.

But facing vampires, he only wanted to say one thing... Fuck your mother's politics, I'm going to pull off the wings of these blood-sucking bastards and feed them to the chaos savages.

On the emptied No. [-] street in Ehrengrad, the artillerymen on both sides are constantly calibrating their ballistic trajectories, venting the flames of war to the enemy. A total of sixty artillery pieces were thrown into this narrow street. Stone and rubble, the passage only a kilometer long is like a natural moat, defusing any offensive from both sides.

"Bang~bang~"

Cannons, muskets, bows and arrows, repeating crossbows, slings, javelins... as long as you can find projectile weapons at hand, they are all firing towards the street.

Plotin, who led the tsarist army, did not dare to let the elite soldiers attack with artillery. He knew the power of these large-caliber gunpowder weapons, and he could not let the soldiers go around the dilapidated houses that were implemented by the scorched earth policy. These seemingly harmless There must be a lot of explosives in the ruins.

He and his subordinates who obeyed the Czar are familiar with the fighting methods of the Patriotic Army, but this does not mean that other people are familiar with it. At least when he was only serving as a mercenary to the Czar, many people doubted whether this behavior Too much delay.

After all...the ones on the other side of the street are just mortals, lacking the help of gods and magic, only supported by gunpowder and the fighting will of humans, the Midnight Sons can tear them apart without any pressure.

Standing on the top of the onion tower of the church, Plotin looked sharply at the port, where the flag of the Flame Eagle of the National Guard was blown by the wind. The eagle patrolled the land in the sky, and the flames would melt the ice and snow and bring about rebirth.

"He's stalling for time... pinning his hopes on Caledor..."

"Master Plotin~, what should we do next..." A beautiful-looking vampire waved a silk fan and walked from the stairs, the blood on the corner of his mouth was still wet.

Perhaps the blood of winter of the believers of these four righteous gods provided a unique experience for the blood descendants originating from Lahmia.

"Let the necromancer resurrect skeletons and warriors, and use them as cannon fodder to fill the cannon's mouth. The bloodthirsty sky ghosts and horror beasts you raise go to the seaport to intercept foreign ships." Prokin said the countermeasure, the dead are not afraid of consumption , and the ordnance of the living will always be exhausted one day. The Wei Guojun does not have its own ordnance production chain, and every bullet fired is one less.

"This is really a good tactic..." The female vampire covered most of her face with a fan. The Lahmian descendants are not good at military command. Compared with such recklessness, they prefer to use tactics and temptation to control people.

At least she thought that as long as she came into contact with Raskel, she would definitely succumb to Lahmia's evil charm instead of delaying time because of caution.

"If you had half the talent for maneuvering in military command, you wouldn't be driven from Nehekhara to Silver Spear Peak." Prokin's eyes began to look threatening, and he emphasized,

"Remember, don't let your mistress Jacqueline bring that pet into the battlefield. Even if Caledon knows that we have zombie dragons in our hands, if there is no conclusive evidence, he can only send giant horned vipers to help the Patriotic Army defend the port."

There was a cold light in his eyes, and he stared closely at the leader of the Lahmia Maids, who was still indifferent, "But once the zombie dragon appears on the battlefield, Caledor's Dragon Prince can let any force in the country enter Keith without any worries." Reeve, I don't think you can bear the anger of that Highness."

Plotin is well aware of the importance of dragons to Caledor. The sunken Karakarond is the best example. The city of destruction is an extremely important strategic location.

As the hub connecting the north and the south of Naggaros, as long as Azul is occupied, half of the war against Druzzi is basically declared, but because of the strong hatred for the disaster of hell and the hatred for their corrupted dragon eggs, this city Not a single survivor.

As for the zombie dragon... if the first one appears, then it can be speculated that there will be a second one, or even countless...

"I understand... I wish you a pleasant war experience." The Bloodborn still maintains an indifferent attitude, Caledo?How much power do they have to come to Kislev when they are far away from the old world? Even if the Queen is killed by the Dragon Prince, the Lahmian blood can still stay safely on the Silver Spear Peak and control the world situation.

…………

At the route of the Sea of ​​Claws, the snake nest of the giant horned viper was in a little bit of trouble. Many ships with the flag of the Kislev giant bear were approaching them. The sound of magic spreading was particularly loud, not only in the sea. People can hear it, maybe even the Chaos Barbarians next door in the Norsca Ice Mountains can hear it clearly.

"Warning! This is Kislev's territorial waters. Caledon's warships are not allowed to enter. This is a serious provocative act. Change course and leave immediately!"

Elvis, who was standing at the bow, close to the extra-large solar engine, turned his head to look at the "Skink Priest" on the monitor lizard's shoulder, with a serious tone,

"Prince, what should we do?"

Imrik, who was being questioned, looked indifferent, but it might be difficult for the Skink's face to show such a state. The rolling eyeballs rolled upwards, which looked a little funny.

"You are not my herald anymore, and the giant horned viper is not part of the court's military order, why ask me?
Do whatever you want, young people must be decisive, you just tore down the tsar’s palace, don’t you still have two uncles and grandfather to support it, your deceased aunt’s uncle is still my uncle, mother’s godfather seems to be the high priest, so The relationship is really strong enough, not to mention Estrid who brought you with you since childhood..."

"Understood." Elvis rarely interrupted the prince, and acted according to his ideas, without any worries, even if he killed the female czar himself, someone would take care of it.

Although the statement of attitude is indeed a bit embarrassing...

Elvis held up the trumpet-shaped magic prop and shouted, "I am Elvis Harandur, the great teacher of the giant horned viper, I received a message from General Lars of the Kislev Defense Army two days ago. According to Cole’s notice, the Azul ships that came to Erengrad are threatened, and life and property cannot be guaranteed. As Caledor’s civil organization in the old world, we have an obligation to protect the interests of Azul.”

The leader of the river patrol team in charge of the handover was silent for a moment, but quickly responded, "The National Guard is an illegal organization established in Erengrad, and it has not been recognized by the Queen and the Orthodox Church, and their general is a Ambitious warlords spreading rumors about the rightful female tsar in order to get Ehrengrad."

"So you didn't deny that Azul's ships were threatened. I don't care what organization the Patriotic Army is. The purpose of the giant horned viper is to protect Azul's interests, and your actions undoubtedly prove what General Laskoll said. .”

Elvis came with a salute before the soldiers, no matter what, he didn't want to fight Drucci or rats, and the war notice still needs to be in place.

Looking at the "Skink Priest" who had already jumped onto the console of the main gun, the Grand Master ordered loudly, "Fire!"

"Received, received." The playful Imrik didn't care about the brat's tone. He pressed the jade slot with his slender fingers, and then turned counterclockwise, aiming the muzzle at the wooden target intercepting him. battleship.

The energy extracted from the energy core poured into the solar engine. The power of this weapon was so great that there were no facilities in front of it, only rocks resistant to high temperature.

A beam of orange light with a diameter of five meters suddenly spewed out, and after making a loud noise, it hit the opposing warship that was only 30 meters high. The place it touched first turned into nothingness, and then most of the hull turned into a flaming coffin on the sea.

The sound of the main guns attracted everyone's attention, and they knew that the naval battle had started without a reminder.

Pacal, who was carrying an extra-large rotary cannon, took the lead. Standing near the main gun, he began to shoot at the battleships lined up. The sound of the dense cannon rain was like the roar of hornets amplified countless times. As he turned the cannon, one by one A black hole the size of a millstone appeared on the hull of the enemy ship.

The cannons on the two rows of the Snake Nest are also firing one after another. With the strong support of the Snake God Prophet, this battleship is extraordinary even by the standards of the Royal Navy.

The river patrol boats that tried to intimidate in parallel were the first victims. The artillery fire hit the snake nest modeled on a small island, only dropping some rocks, and because of the elevation angle, it was difficult for them to hit the enemy operating the artillery .

Kislev has never had a navy, and the role of the river patrol team is only to drive off Norsca's small dragon boats. These toy battleships with the banner of the giant bear may be laughed at for a while when the empire comes.

Imrik, who was operating the main gun, just yelled to show that this thing was powerful, and suddenly felt a little strange. He raised his funny head and looked at the cliff coast on the right, with a weird smile on his face.

Poked his head out from the operating room, and let Elvis, who was directing Pacal's attack, turn his attention,
"Little slick Elvis, the vampire's flying unit is here. You don't have a dragon on your ship to do air defense for you."

But Elvis was not nervous, and grinned a mysterious smile,

"It's a good time. There are not only crawling snakes in the snake's nest, but also flying snakes with wings."

Give the brat a thumbs up, if all the young people in Caledor are like this, the prince will be much more comfortable in the future.

"coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen giant flying bats with a wingspan of eight meters flew towards the snake nest, and there was a horror beast with a vampire lord sitting on its head. The shadow of a large group of midnight bats enveloped the sky. A Kuroshio tide forms on the surface of the sea.

In response, a door was opened in the closed Sotek Pyramid in the center of the battleship, and two giant feathered serpents with iridescent scales flew out from it.

As a little influence left by Tehenhauin in the Snake Crusade, at least a group of giant beasts headed by the dinosaur Kukurza were influenced by Sotek and turned into wild beasts protected by Tepok and Sotek. . (end of this chapter)
