Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

"Pfft." Odd spat out a mouthful of blood foam. He didn't understand why he hit the back and was desperate. He just got angry.

But why does Edgar, an old guy, seem to have no physical decline? The age difference between the two of them is obviously only more than 20 years. He can hardly hold his tomahawk, but his fist is still quite strong.

Two elves who are almost [-] years old are still risking their lives in a slapstick competition. It is really worthy of him.

Imrik handed Odd a glass of water and signaled him to quickly clean up the blood foam in his mouth. If he hadn't stopped him just now, it might have turned into a life-and-death fight.

Odd was not polite, grabbed the water handed by the Dragon Prince, and praised,

"You are much more sensible than Mikhail. You know how to break up the fight, instead of making a fuss and fighting together, and in the end it becomes a riot that cannot be ended."

Speaking of his father, Imrik didn't have a good temper and replied,

"If you had stopped showing up in the War Council and concentrated on dealing with the monsters in the Annuli Mountains, you would have been scolding and fighting each other every time they met for hundreds of years, like children. Every time the War Council ends, the headlines will definitely be It’s the battle between dragon and lion happening again.”

Odd waved his hand to express that this was all nonsense. He washed the blood stains from his teeth with clean water, rushed them in, spit them into the bucket, found a white cloth to wipe the traces on the corners of his mouth, and said disdainfully,

"If I don't go to the War Council, why should I let the White Lion Guard Captain represent Charis's interests? When I say this, I get angry. Cohir is a loser. After becoming the captain, he just followed Fenubar without revealing anything. The news from the Phoenix Royal Court was given to me, and it was said that it was loyalty, but I can go to hell with it.”

Spitting again to show his dissatisfaction with Kohir, Odd stretched out his hand and closed his fingers several times under Imrik's uncomprehending expression.

After seeing that Imric was really at a loss, Odd said helplessly,
"It's my share."

Although I really want to scold you both for being careless in the fight and almost risking your life. It's not entertaining at all, but you still have the nerve to let me pay for it.

But seeing Odd's embarrassed look, Imrik still sighed, took out a bank card with a large balance and put it in his hand.
"Just think of it as a thank-you gift for taking advantage of my father back then. The password is the day he succeeded to the throne."

Aude was not polite and stuffed his bank card into the lining pocket of his robe and carefully hid it, like a poor man who had never seen money.

Imric moved a chair and sat down, crossing his legs and looking at Odd's bedroom.

Although Lothern is responsible for the daily life on the ship, at the level of two people, they will definitely bring a lot of important things with them when traveling.

It not only symbolizes identity, but also facilitates the handling of some documents, such as the file boxes and some dragon decorations that you carry with you.

But here in Oder, except for a few beast pelts, there is no trace of Charis' characteristics at all, and there are no magic items worth mentioning.

"How are you doing?"

Odd also ignored the so-called etiquette, sat down on the table, looked at Imrik with his chest crossed, and said,
"What else can we do? The little funds given by Fenuba are not enough. Many people went crazy and ran into Lothern to do the lowest jobs, forgetting their hometown in the forests and mountains, thinking that this would be enough. Live a good life.”

He didn't care about the relationship between Imrik and Alarielle, and continued to curse bluntly.

"And Alarielle, with your help in rebuilding Avalon, you don't have to worry about too much. When she came to Charis, she said a few words without any pain, blessed the land with the power of the Mother Goddess, and then left. People. I have to go all the way back to the palace from the front of the mountains to hold a banquet, which is another big expense."

Naturally, Imrik was still aware of Charis's predicament. Originally, this mountain kingdom was not rich, and its terrain structure was somewhat similar to Caledor.But Caledor has dragons and the Vaal Church, but Charis has nothing but monsters and forests.

First, he experienced the largest Twilight Tide in a thousand years, and then he became the main target of Druchi's raid on the Eastern Front. It's no wonder that Odd has gone a little crazy thinking about money.

But there is one doubtful point, which is also the reason why I didn’t take the initiative to contact Aude before.

"Finuba didn't give you much help? You were the one who strongly supported him to become the Phoenix King back then."

Odd sneered for a while,
"I only agreed to this matter after listening to the nonsense of the Eternal Queen and him, and the large amount of gold leaf coins bribed by the Etain Noble Council. The situation is completely different from that of Serra. He got a lot of benefits. . By the way, let me remind you, if we really want to build a trading post in Yris, Cosque is a point of attention. Their relationship with the Lothern Chamber of Commerce has not been very good."

Sera?Imric thought about Prince Cosqui, who had not been seen for a long time. Since the glory of the dragon fleet ended, the two families have gradually lost contact. No one knows whether he is in the palace or somewhere in the ocean. Explore every corner.

I am thinking about getting in touch with Aislin later to see if there is an opportunity for in-depth cooperation.

Then he saw Odd's embarrassment, wishing he could use one gold leaf coin as two. Even Imrik felt a little regretful that a pure warrior who didn't like politics was forced to join this fight. .

After thinking for a while, what suitable positions are currently available, and a deal that must be in the interests of both parties.

Soon, he thought of a place that would suit Charis the Roughhead.

"How many people do you have in your hands?"

Odd blinked, "Why do you ask?"

"Why, I'm not a war lord and even this kind of thing is considered a secret?"

"Fuck you." Odd laughed and cursed a little, knowing that Imrik was planning to make a deal.
"There are a total of 700 people. Most of them have long-term experience in fighting against Warcraft and Druzi."

"I want two thousand, just treat them as foreign legions." Imrik asked for one-third of the soldiers without hesitation. It would be too wasteful to put these brave and skilled soldiers in the mountains to fight World of Warcraft. It's not that Oder has no soldiers. , but there is no funds to maintain military expenditures.

No matter how poor the country is, retired soldiers must be paid, and expansion means the need for more labor to support them. This is very difficult for the Charis court, which relies on low value-added industries such as timber and hunting as its main source of income. .

"Treatment." Odd didn't ask why these people were needed. He didn't think Imrik would use other Asur as cannon fodder like the previous Dragon Prince. Doing so would entail a huge reputational risk.

With so many humans under the dragon's court, wouldn't it be a better source of cannon fodder?

"Let's talk about capabilities first. I don't like militiamen who look like professional troops."

Knowing that Imrik was mocking the popular ranger in Ulthuan, Odd said confidently,

"If you just let them fight the white lion with bare hands, at least one-third of them will survive." (End of Chapter)
