Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

After finishing a unique prayer, Imrik pulled up the maid who was still kneeling. Every time he thought about what happened in Itaza, he always felt that many situations occurred out of his own control.

"What did you pray to the Dragonfather?"

"Is this an order or a request?"

Imric was stunned by the rhetorical question, pinched the maid's face with ill intentions, and said viciously,

"You can take it as a request, but I hope you can answer the request."

"No answer."

Not knowing why she was so angry, Phyllis pushed His Highness away and walked out of the temple first, leaving only a silhouette of her back that disappeared in the light, waiting for Imric to chase her.

Menopause has arrived?

Touching his head, he expressed that he didn't understand what this woman was thinking, and he didn't want to ask too much. There were differences between individuals, and it was impossible to seek a fully agreed understanding.

After staring at the black dragon sculpture for some time, Imric walked out of the temple. Although a series of events that happened in the Sotek Cult attracted a lot of energy, the overall strategic thinking would not change.

A certain god is planning a chaotic war, a struggle that has accumulated for many years of incomprehension, prejudice and anger. As long as Magnus dies, Tyrell will surely be in chaos.

As soon as he walked out of the temple, he found the herald North standing by the door, like a loyal guard, silently leaning against the wall and staring at the possible threats in his eyes.

Pat the young man on the shoulder, encourage him, and ask what news he has today.

"I hope today brings me some good news, I'm tired of the feud between Bretonnia and Sotek."

North bowed his head and saluted as if he was flattered. He leaned against the wall and immediately faced his master, and said seriously,

"There is no news about Karak Budar today. It is about domestic matters."

"Oh? It seems that my disobedient child finally thought that all the preparations were complete, and the war mobilization order I wrote a year ago was officially announced today."

North had no intention of paying attention to the relationship between the two highnesses. It was an internal situation of the royal family and had nothing to do with his duties.

The herald handed over to the prince a war mobilization order transmitted by magic from Kaled. Along with it was a detailed war schedule within the palace.

After receiving the mobilization order, Imric read every word in detail and found that the general content was consistent with what he had originally written. Only there were significant changes in the aspects of the effort required by the palace.

Tax exemptions are naturally indispensable. Basically, all soldiers who join the army, as well as organizations that provide materials, have enjoyed tax exemption policies for many years. The intensity is very strong, which makes Imrik heartbroken.

This brat... really wants to empty my pocket...

Fortunately, after the tax relief, the palace will directly distribute funds to the material supply organization and issue a target to be completed. The two parties have made a contract and the amount provided every year must be strictly adhered to.

The advantage of this move is that many factories can operate at full capacity without any psychological pressure, including the Vaal Anvil, which was originally pursuing high-end forging. Under the coercion of the palace, some Vaal priests were forced to rework their previous tools. .

War brings not only loss of life, but also the potential of a kingdom.

At this moment, when Imrik was looking through the schedule drawn up within the palace, he was really surprised. He did not expect that Caledor had become such a behemoth.

Over the past thirty years, people from Ulthuan and Lustria came to Sartosa continuously, but it was always a small-scale continuous transportation. Even counting the third garrison that was merged into the Giant Horned Viper as a vague signal, the actual number of elven troops was just over 10,000, excluding the navy commanded by Assanil.

Adding in the Kislev First Guards, the Griffin Legion, the thousands of soldiers provided in accordance with the agreement, and the pirates recruited here and there, the total number is only 26,000.

But Draconir gave himself a big surprise.

Without affecting the original strategic defense and normal production, Draconir replaced most of the town guards originally stationed in Young Dragon Bay and appointed the local Dragon Prince family to summon some foreign elves to maintain public order.

The prince vouched for his reputation, and the town guard's combat potential was by no means inferior, and they only had one chance to show off. There are more than 1,200 people in total, all led by veterans who have been recruited again.

Qingyan Port, which was not supposed to send troops, was very cooperative this time. After learning about Gulam's plan, His Highness was very disgusted with such a bottomless slave army system.

After the cooperation of many parties, some of the human soldiers originally staying in Anaheim were merged into Qingyan Port.

Of course, the nominal arrangement is still the troops stationed in the Dragon Palace, and the port defense force, which has direct influence on the city hall, does not belong to the same sequence.

The prince attempts to return these slaves who are gradually losing their humanity to normal society. After years of inhumane training, these participants in the Gulam Project have become people who are forced to sacrifice in order to repay their fathers for Caledor. debt owed.

According to Draknir's promise, after the war, these slave soldiers will be integrated into normal society as a new class. While retaining their military nature, they will not exploit the rights they should have enjoyed.

When Imrik saw this, he just shook his head and sighed, and did not accuse his son of meddling in important plans without authorization.

Obviously, in Drachnir's heart, he believed that gaining honor did not require too many sacrifices. He had the confidence to handle all difficulties on his own and provide a protective umbrella for the kingdom.

If you see your child's ambition and just want to object, is it too harsh and rigid?

Scattered, there are more than 4,000 town guards deployed from various places, plus professional soldiers from Windhowl City and Dragonspine Mountains. This time, more than 10,000 elves can barely come to the old world from Ulthuan.

There are a total of 11,400 human soldiers in the New World, so he will soon have 42,000 soldiers under his command.

Although there is a large number, this power is enough to compare with any powerful force, or Caledo is a powerful force, but the preparations must not be left behind.

Putting away the plan written by his son, Imrik was going to put it in the accompanying document box and collect it as an important item.

North watched the prince's expression, from the helplessness at the beginning, to the smile in the middle, to the relief at the end, and knew that this war plan might be a way for Prince Drachnir to express himself in front of his father.

Looking at the prince's undisguised expression of relief, the herald thought silently.

Is this what it’s like to be a father? It’s so complicated…

No matter how the herald thinks, Imrik will not show his emotions in front of others for too long. Now that the domestic arrangements are in place, all that is left is to deal with some details.

"How is the recruitment of logistics personnel going?" (End of Chapter)
