Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

"Holy Grail Knights, it is undeniable that their strength is very good, but their number is too small, and in my evaluation, they can only carry out local wars."

The words of the White Wolf Knight were a bit cryptic, but Imric had already heard the answer. Bretonnia was not large enough to gain an advantage over the Empire in a full-scale war, and the Empire was also flawless against the southern kingdom due to the chaos everywhere, so the elite The transformed knight plays a big role.

The White Wolf Knights alone may not be able to do it, but as long as there are a few more, they can defeat the Holy Grail Knights of Bretonnia, but there are several large organizations in the empire like the Ulric Religious Knights.

Imrik suddenly realized that he made an "oh" sound, which seemed to mean looking down on the White Wolf Knight, but Kristoff, who had been in contact with him a few times, knew that this was only the expression that the Dragon Prince was most accustomed to—because he had both sides. despise.

"In this case, I think the Giant Horned Viper should probably move around more in the southern part of the empire. The most famous Holy Grail Knight in the old world may be a good opponent for these young people."

These words made Kristoff squint his eyes. At the level of Imrik's identity, every word he said was extremely weighty. The introduction of the giant horned viper was a matter for the Church of Ulric, but if he was allowed to deal with Ba Tonya seems to be completely contrary to the previous agreement.

"The White Wolf Knight will not be inferior to the Holy Grail Knight. If the Giant Horned Viper wants to hone his martial arts, the door of Middenheim will be open to them. The land in the south is not as friendly as the north. The Giant Horned Viper needs to deal with, not only It's the people in the imagination."

A chuckle appeared on Imric's face. Unexpectedly, only ten years later, the White Wolf Knight who dared to cause trouble for him would turn into a thoughtful old guy.

I can only lament that short-lived species are indeed pitiful. They have endured endless torture in their short lives. Before they can experience the most beautiful moment, they find that their lifespan is running out and they become mere remains.

"That's all, this is Elvis's business. I'm just an elderly ruler who always likes to chatter about unrealistic ideas."

Raising his hand to introduce the old mage to Kristoff, he couldn't restrain his doubtful eyes. After all, the old mage's clothes were completely different from those of himself and Davian.
"This is Lord Belannar, the former Supreme Mage and Chief Magic Swordsman of the White Tower of Hoth. The Teclis you met in the Great Holy War was his student."

Hearing that Tigris was both a student of Berannar, Master White Wolf was a little surprised, and immediately bowed his head slightly to show respect.
"I am Kristoff, the Grand Master of the White Wolf Knights. I served as the cavalry commander of the Savior in the Great Holy War. The actions of my disciple Teclis saved the coalition forces and the precarious old world. Please allow me to represent Yuri. The Christian Church welcomes you to the Empire."

The retired old mage dealt with it with a smile. His interest in the empire has always been very low. He thinks it is a land full of prejudice and obsession, but the necessary courtesy must still be done. This is also a common routine in Asur society. On the surface, it will appear very... It's flashy, but only the person involved understands the darkness of the mainland.

"I'm just a professor at the Magic Academy now. I supervise the Dragon Prince's studies by the way. I'm not an important person."

"But your status is enough for the empire to show respect. If possible, after this war is over, I sincerely invite you to Middenheim. Both the Elector and the Grand Pope will look forward to it."

Kristoff's enthusiastic display, while a bit strange, seems quite reasonable, and the Todblind family may have realized that the construction of Altdorf Academy of Magic would cause changes in the Emperor's campaign after Magnus' death.

No matter how diligent and wise the savior behaves, the empire's emperor-electing system determines that everyone who is qualified will plan for the throne of power in advance.

Belannar was not interested. He still had several projects in his hands. Just the thought of being able to personally come into contact with the lizard people's spiritual core was enough to keep him awake. There was no time to go to a place where barbarians lived.Except for the White Wolf Holy Fire, which sounded like the Asuryan Holy Fire, there was no place worth visiting.

And this idea coincides with Imrik. He can't worry about Belannar going to Middenheim. There is an extremely important secret hidden there. For now, it is better for the Church of Ulric to keep it safe so that no one can detect the clues. , and then consider how to use it.

Kristoff was not embarrassed after being rejected. It just meant that the Church of Ulric wanted to contact Saffrondo. They were very covetous of life-based spells that could quickly heal wounds, as well as a large amount of healing ointments. This was the warrior's third choice. A life.

"Of course, of course, I will explain this matter to the people in Savory. Some students are also very interested in the old world. If both parties have common interests in this matter, they will naturally need to communicate more."

After receiving the reply, Kristoff took the people away. Only Imric was quite emotional and said to the old mage in Elvish language,

"I'm really not used to your aristocratic rhetoric. Let me think about it. Ever since I accompanied my father to participate in the War Council, I have never said anything like this in your mouth."

"It's not easy to worry about a huge force. My rhetoric was taught by Teacher Koyus after Finnuba succeeded to the throne. His Majesty Hassel was there before, which saved me some energy. Phoenix King election..." Belannar thought of something and shook his head to forget it.

Sulfery has always been a strong candidate for the Phoenix King. The Phoenix King of Caledor is responsible for fighting, and the Phoenix King Sulfery is responsible for construction. There is a tacit understanding between the two sides, but the appearance of Fenubar somewhat broke this unspoken rule.

"I occasionally heard my father talk about this matter. Finuba promised to give Caledor endless glory, and the remains of the ancestors taken away by the dwarves would be returned soon, but in the end, I was left to do it myself."

"He is a good Phoenix King, but his talent is not there. He is like a navigator sitting on a tower. He can clearly see the various scenery in the distance and coordinate the people on the ship to work together on this matter. But he can really lead this ship It is the helmsman who moves the ship forward, not the navigator who holds the chart to find the best target. Only the helmsman will unswervingly drive the ship forward, regardless of the coming storm and thunder."

These profound words made Imric stare at B'Elannar. How could he not know the current public opinion in the country that he was hailed as the most outstanding dragon-tamer bloodline since the Conqueror of Caledor, and defeated the horse? Caledor I of Rekis is the Phoenix King, and Titris is also the Phoenix King. This is Caledor's destiny.

"I have no interest at all in who is steering this ship. It is subject to the ups and downs of the waves, the direction of the wind, and changes in weather. Countless factors can turn this ship into a wreck. The dragon should be flying in the sky, slightly. passing over the heads of tiny creatures, ignoring any obstacles along the way, rather than being steered like a ship.”

It's very interesting. It seems that he really lacks interest in the position of Phoenix King. He does not rely on the co-lord of Ulthuan who uses religious divine selection as the legal principle. Instead, he wants to break the political dilemma of Ulthuan through actions.

There can only be one Phoenix King, and he can only run after his death.Then withdraw from this matter and gain greater power than the Phoenix King in the name of a prince.How the titles of Caledor's rulers will be arranged at that time is also an intriguing matter.

Berannar did not express any opinions. The retired old mage cared about politics because of responsibility, but he never liked such things.

"Well, this world belongs to young people. I look forward to whether the ship or the dragon can reach the destination." (End of Chapter)
