Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 591: Chess Game and News about the Scarlet Dragon Sklarzak

Alexandremon poured himself a glass of vodka, looked up and watched several giant dragons attack again, yawned quite freely, and asked the engineer generals to tighten their grip more firmly.

The coalition forces have been stationed in this swamp for two weeks. During this period, they continued to have small-scale contacts at the edge, but the most noteworthy thing was the use of the dragon's breath to forcibly evaporate the water in the swamp.

The snowmelt period does not last long. After the temperature melts the ice and snow, only the permanently frozen peaks of the World's Edge Mountains remain.

In the absence of water replenishment, the effect of the flames was quite significant, causing the edge of the swamp to shrink, and many undead creatures lurking in the mire were found.

But this left the soldiers encamped with nothing to do, dampening the enthusiasm of many young people who were eager to fight.

As the commander-in-chief, Imric was not in a hurry. The most important thing in a war, apart from military strength, was intelligence.

Only those who are extremely stupid would think that they can win by military force alone. Hidden under this rather dramatic evaporating swamp is another murderous intention.

As long as the decapitation team arrives in Kislev, everything will be fine.

Of course, this was just a joke between him and Masnow, but there is no doubt that the current camp is to delay the decapitation team for some time.

Imrik moved the knights on the chessboard, eating the opponent's soldiers, and said with interest,

"I didn't expect you still have time for this kind of game."

"It is necessary to relax occasionally, even for me." Masnow, holding the black chess piece, put down the bishop and stopped in front of the knight to prevent further actions. "Besides, Davian is more concerned about it than me."

"Yes, but if you continue this way, you are likely to lose, my Lord Champion."

Masnot looked around the chessboard. All the soldiers had disappeared and the knights had rebelled. Only the king and queen were left to persist under the protection of the bishop. Compared with the prince's huge army, there seemed to be no chance of winning.

He shook his head and smiled, speaking in a relaxed tone, "I still have a chance to make a comeback."

"Queen." Imrik nodded in approval, and then pinched the white queen who was already on the enemy's territory. "It seems that you haven't found a way to use the queen yet, or in other words, you don't know how to define this queen. It With countless possibilities, it is the hidden king, and you can see the style by observing how a player uses the queen.”

Masnuo sighed, also pinched the black queen, and looked at the white queen. "I used to be a knight, and I was only good at leading soldiers to charge. But one day I suddenly became the king, and I found that the chessboard was completely different."

"It depends on your self-perception. I have completely delegated power to you. There is only one white soldier in Anaheim, and the other vacancies can be filled with your heart. Not only soldiers, but also knights, bishops, queens, these They are all defined by the king, used by the king, and discarded by the king.”

"I know, but this is still a process that takes time." Masnow raised the queen, but his arm was raised in the air and lingered. After all, it was this chess piece full of infinite possibilities that was placed in front of the king as the final choice. Protector, try to survive as long as possible.

Either use his unparalleled offensiveness and fight to the death in exchange for some life, or form a wall with the bishop and sacrifice himself to let the king jump out of the encirclement. These are all things that need to be considered.

He hesitated for a moment, wanting to move the queen as a protective umbrella for the king.

"Masnow, you can't regret the fallen chess piece. Don't be in a hurry to make this move."

The champion warrior was in a stalemate, and finally chose to use the queen to eat a knight in the encirclement. Even though this would put the king in crisis and make the winner or loser announced faster, this was the approach that he agreed with the most in his heart.

Even if the steel is shattered, it can still be used as a sword to leave a scar on the enemy before losing its effect.

Imrik did not comment on this move, but he vaguely agreed with this approach in his heart. Many people thought that they were the king, but on a larger chessboard, they might not even be able to take the title of knight.

Instead of letting the king wait for death alone, it is better to use the most radical method to break the predicament and make himself the king.

"You seem to have found the use of the queen." "Well, he will be the sharpest blade, tearing up the battle line with the king, and bringing victory to the chess players."

"Very good, in line with your nature."

Imric stopped the chess game. Masnow had lost. He still needed some time to adapt to the change of identity. He was not the gunblade of the dragon lord, but another force belonging to Caledor.

"We still have a lot of time before Malekith returns, yes, there is still a lot of time."

These words sounded like self-comfort, and Masno agreed, "As long as the Witch King returns to the mortal world, Druzi's current situation cannot stop Caledor's army, so kill him and Moras. The Dragon Prince’s long-cherished wish can also come to an end.”

"This matter is not urgent. How to deal with Druchi is a difficult problem. You also understand that even if Ulthuan agrees with Caledor's policy of resolute destruction of Druchi, many people still have feelings for these dark cousins. A little bit of compassion.”

"Her Majesty the Queen is too kind." Masnow said to Alarielle, but chose to stop talking.

The Avalon Palace asked many times why there were no prisoners in the battle report. As a matter of fact, the Queen wanted to send a maid to the front line to investigate the matter.

As a result, under the joint pressure of the Phoenix Court and many countries, they had no choice but to give up. No one wanted to manage the prisoners of war. While taking risks, a large number of manpower was needed to take charge.

He could only lament that some people have such a soft heart by nature, which may complement the prince's ruthlessness.

"She will change her mind, but I hope that day never comes."

"I hope so, otherwise we will have no choice but to take actions that go against Her Majesty's will."

In the small tent, the two of them fell into silence at the same time, but Davian suddenly broke in and broke the silence.

The Dragon Prince was slightly curious, poured himself a glass of ice-cold drink, and looked at the two respected lords.

"Are you guys having a fight?"

Imric threw a chess piece and said, "I found something."

There was no need to observe the flight path of the chess piece. Davian raised his hand and pinched it. After Gululu took a sip of wine, he revealed his findings.

"Several Dwarf Rangers who came from Butcher's Castle told the scouts that there was something strange happening in the night goblins in Red Eye Mountain. Because of Thor Green's edict, Dwarf's various mountain forts were concentrating their forces to regain Gombard Peak. In addition to the defenders of Butcher's Castle, There was no force to organize a reconnaissance party to find out what happened."

"By the way, Ranger Dwarf Duozi asked me to give this to you." Davian took out a sheepskin scroll. Judging from the metal buckle on the lace, it came from the Dragon Beard clan.

Imrik took the scroll and pulled open the metal buckle. It was obviously sent by Agrim and there should be a lot of useful information.

After skillfully reading the scroll written in block dwarf language, a smile appeared on Imrik's face.

Red Sklarzak has awakened and is now in the Thousand Pillars Hall, entangled with the garrisoned dwarf army.

It seems that what the Dragon Tamer family is most famous for is about to reappear.

Throwing the scroll to Masnow across the table, Imric clapped his hands, stood up from his chair, and said with a chuckle, "Mustache sent a good piece of information. Ingersoth and I will go to the Worldside Mountains. Find out what happened in Red Eye Mountain, and catch a giant dragon for fun."
