Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 710 The battle between radical and conservative
The grim-faced dragon prince responded to the nobles coming and going for the prince. Tal Yris, as the most densely populated city in eastern Ulthuan, showed a prosperity that was different from the national environment.

Although it is definitely not as gorgeous as Lothern or Tal Airil, as an ancient city that has been operating here since ancient times, it is still remarkable.

For example, Prince Eltharion accompanied the Dragon Prince to visit the giant arena of Yris, although the two parties were not interested in the competition on the field.

But many people are still interested in the confrontation between the Dragon Prince's palace guards and the Mist Walkers.

Imrik, who was in the best audience seat, watched the game seriously with his arms folded, his face full of solemnity, as if he was extremely concerned about the outcome of the game.

But those who are familiar with it all know that when Prince Long watches a game, he usually just puts his face on his hands and takes in the situation on the field one by one, treating it in a seemingly lazy manner.

Elsarion's performance was somewhat similar. His expression was solemn, his hands on the stone table supported his chin, and he seemed to be focusing entirely on the game.

But the exchange between the two was extremely inconsistent with this serious scene.

"So you're here to persuade me to get married."

"Yes, the palace gave me a task to persuade two men and women of suitable age to add strength to the future of Ulthuan."

Although Imric's tone was extremely serious, Eltharion only felt funny. When did the Dragon Prince become so humorous.

"It seems that your family status after marriage is not taken seriously."

"Before, Minasnir ranked first, but now it's Adira, and I..." Imrik counted the family members in his mind, Adila, Drachnir, Minasnir, The two hatchlings, Motellius, the Lady, and Ingersolls can only be considered as loanees.

Calculated in this way, there is a solution.

"second last."

"I would like to ask, who is the last one?"

"Mortellius."

Eltharion is a little unbearable. Even though he has received professional training, he usually does not laugh. It is really interesting to hear Prince Caledor say that the status of a family is similar to that of a war horse.

He covered his mouth with his palm to prevent others from noticing that he was laughing, but his tone sounded like he was making trouble.
"Is this the rumor that has bothered successful people in recent years? No matter how successful their career is, they will always lose money in some way."

"I can't deny this. Maybe from a certain perspective, I am already considered a winner in life."

Eltharion could not hide his smile;

"You have changed a lot than before, you are more relaxed and confident."

Imrik sighed and briefly summarized his thoughts over the years,

"People will change after having a family. Fortunately, Adila is also very concerned about palace affairs and has shared a lot of things for me. Although the son she gave birth to has caused me a lot of trouble."

As for the friend who showed off his happy family, Elsarion felt a little speechless. Is this human speech? There was a sense of contempt for singles in every word.

After thinking about it, it seemed that he had indeed reached his age. Compared with Imric's late marriage, two hundred years was just right. The domestic political situation was stable and there was no threat from the external environment.

As for Annabelle, the watchman couldn't help but smile when he thought of that mature and elegant intellectual female officer. In fact, the two parties have met many times, but because of many things, the matter has been delayed until now.

"I have no objection to this matter, but it would be great if I get my father's blessing." Imrik nodded slightly, and Eltharion's answer was as expected. Marriage requires equality of status.

Although Assanil was willing to come forward to explain the matter to his niece and Morarion, the two families were not equal, and the dragon prince's inherent arrogant temperament always felt that doing so was a bit cunning, so he Report the matchmaker's work to Adira.

"Well, I will personally convey it to your father. Be prepared to be beaten. You must know that Annabelle is a very good female officer. I am very dissatisfied if it is handed over to Iris like this."

"Of course, of course." There was a hint of longing in the prison head's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. Now is not the time to imagine a happy family. Iris will still need a long time to work hard to keep up with the trend of the times.

After the game, Morarion held a banquet to welcome Imrik. The old prince kept talking about the firm friendship between Yris and Caledor, which was the same in the past and is now. This will be even more true in the future.

And Imric also took advantage of the opportunity to talk about Annabelle. Although Morarion looked a little embarrassed at first, he soon made up his mind to negotiate the engagement banquet with the Angelo family and pass the news to The nations of Ulthuan.

The embarrassment on his face was because of the council. Of course Imric knew this, but looking at the group of military nobles surrounding Eltharion, perhaps the old prince was already paving the way for the Warden, so that after his death, he could pass the position to his son without any hindrance. .

Naturally, they agree very much with this matter. There is no reason to let the brainless things of the parliament interfere with the political situation. Their greatest contribution is to stay at the rear and assist the stability of the kingdom.

This doesn't seem right. Why did you let those old guys out of the parliament...

Although there was something strange in my heart, as the banquet was held, everything went according to the expected plan, such as Morarion whispering beside him.

"Do you have any ideas about the Phoenix King's location?"

"No, I have heard a similar tone from the Shadow King, Azrael, B'Elannar, and Odd. Can you change the words?" Imrik felt a little speechless. As long as the relationship is closer, in This is what I will say when we collaborate further.

There was a twinkle in Morarion's eyes. The shortcoming of the Phoenix King of Caledor was that he was not good at business and relied on fighting to gain fame. However, Imric had broken through the inherent impression of his ancestors.

In recent years, there have been more and more voices of dissatisfaction with Fenuba. Compared with the Outer Ring Kingdom, which has an overall upward strength, the Inner Ring led by Fenuba is still half-dead.

Some Ulthuan Supremacy radicals already want to invite the Dragon Prince to take over Lothern. Although it doesn't sound good to use the name of the Phoenix King, the reality is that Assur, as an elf, admires Lothern just as much as Druzi and Aslay. powerful.

The radicals believe that there must be a military strongman to lead Ulthuan and end the thousands of years of hatred of Druchi, while the conservatives believe that the radicals are too conservative and Assur should return to his position at the dawn of creation and rule the entire world. world.

Although this was just a political joke teasing Caledor's ideology, many people were very interested in it, vaguely wondering whether Imric was a radical or a conservative.

"I just can't find a reason why you can do so many things. Now except for Cosqui, the outer ring has become Caledor's sphere of influence, plus the influence of Her Majesty the Queen, and the prestige of the Dragon Tamer family. You This sentence does not look particularly pale." Morarion blinked and whispered,
"And I support what the conservatives say. The radicals are still too conservative."

Imrik sighed. As the leader of an interest group, the trouble is that he needs to satisfy the hopes of his subordinates and allies. The identity of Prince Caledor has made it difficult to control these ambitious guys.

If you want to truly unify Ulthuan, you need not only power, but also a name, but only the Phoenix King can meet the needs.

But the real Phoenix King is still wandering in the Demon Realm of Chaos, and it is a bit unrealistic to imagine this title now.

"Once upon a time I had a dream."

Moralion became interested. This was the first time he heard Imric speak the word dream.

From the high tower of Yris Palace, Imrik looked at the endless starry sky outside, pretending to be profound and deceived,
"In the black tower of Nagarond that was burned to ashes, you took over your father's position. Maybe you can change it now?"

Morarion, who reacted immediately, smiled in confusion,
"There is a chance."
