Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 705 Failure means loss of trust

The next day, Edgar obtained a detailed intelligence on several major greenskin gathering points in the Badlands, as well as vague information on the Angrond clan's march route and battle plan.

Looking at this whimsical way of recovery, he felt that war was simply being treated as a child's play. 3000 people launched an expedition against the Bafeng Mountain located deep in the bad land?

This is not a surprise attack, where the target is considered successful, but a long-term offensive and defensive battle. The strategic depth is so great that once the backup is cut off, they will wait to die.

No wonder Imrik, with his usual extremely radical strategic approach, thinks that the Angrond clan is hopeless. The miserable wandering clan, even though they know it is a futile move, still set off towards their hometown like a moth in flames.

The Dragon Prince bluntly stated, "I am not optimistic about your battle plan. It is stupid and useless, but since you have such an action, Caledor supports it."

Belega, who spoke on behalf of his brother, said in a deep voice, "Conditions."

"As always, the Angland clan does not want Caledor to get involved in the war to regain the Eight Peaks Mountain, and Caledor does not want to enter the bad land. We can provide material support, but you need to provide useful intelligence." Edgar shook his hand. In this imperial language document, tell the most important thing,
"Of course, if you are really blessed by the gods and take back the Eight Peaks Mountain, Caledor won't mind exchanging more things for the dragon horn."

"I need Kislev soldiers, logistics, magic..." Belegar said one by one the scarce things of the Angrond clan. He recalled Tigris's feat of paralyzing the Cursed City. If Caledor was as great as he was at that time, The troops of the Holy War join in and ask for the help of the High King, the lord of the mountains. The recovery of the Eight Peaks Mountain will not be a big problem.

Edgar listened patiently to the dwarf prince's speech. It was obvious that these two young dwarfs didn't understand what gaming was, and thought they could win bigger chips with something they didn't even have in their hands.

But if it weren't for the importance Imrik and Thorgrin attached to this secret meeting, the veteran would not want to deal with this bunch of losers from the Angrond clan.

Belegar obviously had no confidence in this statement. Being stubborn does not mean that dwarves are stupid. They may be able to maintain their racial pride when facing humans, but when facing elves, in addition to hatred and stubbornness, there is fear hidden deep in them.

Edgar quickly gave the answer, "You don't have the corresponding chips. This conversation is only a trial cooperation between the two parties. If you want to get more support, you must first prove your value."

Compared with the decline of the Angland clan, Edgar, as the representative of Caledor, is undoubtedly more confident, and confidence means gaining an advantage in negotiations.

The veteran rejected several of the dwarf's ideas one after another. This hopeless and desperate move will only make people more disappointed with the Angland clan.

As expected, the dwarf prince was invited out. With a sense of dissatisfaction and humiliation, he looked for useful things in the supply list.

Elvis, who was in the audience, shook his head helplessly. Yesterday, he had given Belega such an obvious reminder that even if he came up with an exaggerated battle plan, Edgar would at least take a high look at it.

If 3000 people recapture a fortress, even with the support of Tiefengbao, there is no possibility of victory.

He turned his attention to Edgar, who was thinking about the dwarves' information.
"What's the next step?"

"There is no so-called next step. I have never believed in the ability of Xiao Duozi. Increase the influence in the Arabi area, send enough reserve soldiers to Anaheim, complete the reconnaissance mission given by the palace, and prepare for the expedition to the badlands. Be prepared." Edgar leaned on the bench and threw the Angland clan battle plan in his hand into the trash can.

After generally stabilizing the situation in Sartusa, the veteran immediately led his team towards the bad land. The result was obvious, there was no life and desolation along the way.

Logistics supply is an extremely difficult point to deal with. If you land from the coastline and head to the east, the distance is approximately equal to the western outer ring of Ulthuan to the eastern outer ring. Brutal orcs, greenskins, goblins, undead, and demons will all become threaten.

There are currently three general strategic ideas, landing at Haimen Pass and heading towards Bafeng Mountain.Although the logistical pressure is not great, there are still risks. If the dwarf stabs him in the back, the expeditionary force will suffer a huge blow, and Black Rock Castle is still firmly in the hands of the greenskins. Edgar is not willing to work for free for the dwarf.

The second is the coastline landing, using the Golden Oath City and the Bottomless Stone Steps as the connection point, allowing the Bad West to form a safe area to transport supplies to the expeditionary force. This will take a long time to operate, but if a Safe transportation channels and rear areas are considered the most secure.

The third is to go eastward from the Great Netherworld River, use waterways to save a lot of labor costs, rely on Caledor's familiar mountain terrain, and set off towards the north, but this will involve dealing with the dead in the Land of the Dead.

Each plan has its pros and cons. Edgar currently agrees with the second one. Although it will take a lot of time, as long as the logistics are well supplied and the pressure on strategic depth is reduced as much as possible, the risk will be significantly reduced and the expedition will be more likely to succeed. improve.

Although colleagues in the parliament have different views on this, they all share a skeptical attitude towards Article [-].

Seeing the veteran's decision, Elvis did not express his attitude. His main responsibility was to complete various tasks against the Skaven and did not participate in the plan to recover the Eight Peaks Mountain. However, because of his special status, he was rejected by the Parliament. Pay special attention.

"Then excuse me."

"Well, find out what the palace wants as soon as possible. Caledor needs every ounce of his strength to put into retrieving the Dragon Horn."

"Understood." After accepting the encouragement from his elders, Elvis quickly left the scene, wondering if he should find an excuse to go to the empire, recruit troops, and also take this opportunity to look for Marist, who had not seen him for many days.

But with Belega's visit again, this plan soon fell through.

The dwarf prince did not continue to discuss Edgar's attitude. It was all a bit too heavy. The Angland clan had lost the trust of their dwarf compatriots. Now the only one willing to provide a lot of support is the Copper Mountain Castle claimed by the Eight Peaks Mountain. .

Since it's difficult to maintain a relationship based on love, let's talk about interests directly, which is more practical and reliable.

It was still the secret room from yesterday, still two stones. The elf was the first to ask,
"Let me explain in advance that I have no power to intervene in the operation of Eight Peaks Mountain. My duty in Sartusa is to deal with a series of problems caused by the rat people."

Belegar seemed a little hesitant, but soon became firm and said a name.
"Damian, I need his help."

"Damian and I are not familiar with each other." Elvis was serious and told the truth. The only person he was familiar with among the trio of human combat ceiling trio was Mishan, whom he had interacted with many times due to his previous duties.

"But you have a way to make Damian take action." Belegar's eyes were serious. He did not believe that this pointy-eared man who attracted much attention from Imric lacked this ability.

If Damian helps, the success rate of this trip may be greatly improved.

Elvis touched his cheek and thought for a while. Anyway, the Anglande clan may never let Caledo send troops before they become desperate. In this case, they might as well invest more chips.

"I will ask the prince for instructions on this matter, but you have to remember that these help are not without cost. Failure means loss of trust."
