Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

After learning that the human boy Yiga had used his name to obtain supplies from the Royal Bank, Adela did not show any anger as she should have, and calmly told the person in charge that she was indeed very optimistic about this kid.

This made the person in charge no longer hesitate and took advantage of his status to start preparing supplies for Hell Sea Dragon.

War is also an opportunity to reshuffle forces. Since some promising young people in the country have already been targeted by various families, why not change your mind and invest in humans.

In exchange for some supplies and friendship with a possible war hero, the person in charge knew that this was a good deal.

Although I don't expect this human kid to be able to compare with three honorable human nobles, if he can lead the human army in Qingyan Port in the future and become a general who cannot be ignored, it may be an investment opportunity.

Of course, the current head of the bank has no time to pay attention to the movements of this human boy. A more important thing is waiting for him - Prince Draknir will patrol the cities in the new world.

For some reasons, Drachnir did not choose to arrive directly with the dragon when traveling. He formally issued a notice to the city hall in the name of the palace, and the prince and his ministers investigated the local situation.

The main responsibility of the former is to inspect the demobilized soldiers who are still being reorganized, while the latter is to hand over to the city hall.

After the Royal Navy escort ship approached the port, flowers and praises were like waves, and solemn music intertwined with the sound of the waves to form a unique local symphony.

The bright red carpet was laid hundreds of meters from the bridge, and there were already bright guards on both sides of the road. Since Imric returned to the palace in the name of returning to the country to wait for the birth of his child, the leader of the kingdom has not officially arrived for nearly forty years. here.

The prince was impeccably dressed. Against the backdrop of the accompanying dragon prince, he looked extremely dazzling in the front row without wearing any armor.

Draknir gently raised his right hand and waved to the cheering crowd in response.

The welcoming team, which had been waiting for the prince for a long time, was led by Mayor Kara, who expressed his surrender to Drachnir in the most standard etiquette and tone.

"Welcome, His Highness Prince Draknir. Since His Highness Prince Imrik returned to the palace on important matters, the people of Qingyan Port have not seen the glory of the son of Caledor for decades.

On the eve of the war, you still remember the people under your rule despite your busy schedule, which makes us deeply honored and terrified. "

When Draconir saw the extremely humble Kara, a different meaning appeared in his heart. Not long ago, this human being was using the huge resources in his hands to blackmail himself in an attempt to gain a higher status.

But after patrolling as the symbolic master of the Dragon Palace, the change in attitude is only disappointing.

The prince knew that the mayor's humble attitude was largely due to his father.

His father must have controlled Mazov's life and death, and Mazov knew his own value, so much so that he raised private soldiers without the knowledge of the palace, and kept the port defense force, which should have originally numbered 4,000, at around 7,000 all year round.

He was sure that his father wouldn't care about these things. As long as it showed value, some thoughts that had nothing to do with the overall situation were acceptable.

"There is no need to be polite to Mayor Kara. On the eve of the war, I have the obligation to review every warrior who is about to embark on the battlefield. This visit is unexpected and I hope it will not disturb the normal order of Qingyan Port."

"With the Sons of Caledor there is order."

After exchanging polite words, Draknir nodded to indicate the next step. He had never been to this city and was not very familiar with the Assur compatriots who settled here.

Naturally, one would not easily believe the news reported by some people. Under the leadership of the palace, the relationship between the two races was harmonious. Every human being was proud of being a subject of the dragon lord and actively dedicated everything to Caledor and other nonsense. But fortunately, my father had already left a hidden clue here, a well-respected palace attendant.

He turned his head, pretending to see if the ship had been moored, but in fact he was telling the maid Miranda that the operation could begin and that he would see the palace attendant tonight.

The maid, who understood her master's thoughts, nodded slightly to express her understanding. She would find Adela while the prince was dealing with the city hall.

In one day, the mayor, who was well versed in the work style of the Dragon Palace, did not spend too long on the reception ceremony. After strongly requesting His Highness the Prince to inspect some main roads, he took him to the sugar processing plant and spice processing plant that he cared about. .

In terms of production capacity, Draconir has a deep understanding of Qingyan Port. After taking charge of the palace's finances in recent years, he clearly knows that his father has three main sources of large funds.

One is from the lizard people's gold mines, mainly Hesiota, Itaza, and Chakua.

Part of it went to the Vaal Anvil as forging raw materials, part of it was used as reserve funds in the Royal Bank, and finally it was placed in palace storage.

This part is not a large proportion. It is used as emergency fund preparation to be used to save the country when the kingdom's finances are in crisis.

The second is the kingdom's taxation. According to the tax law adjusted many years ago, part of the tax paid by various places is retained locally to maintain the normal turnover of various departments and militia organizations.

In addition, it will be divided into kingdom finance and palace finance. The former is transparent and the latter is opaque, but the palace decides how to use it.

It's a matter of two gloves. The court can decide how much power to show to the outside world, and how much power to hide.

Among them, trade tariffs, sugar industry, and spices have a huge proportion, and other tax types are difficult to match.

Finally, there is the arms trade that has been operating for many years. Although the Phoenix Court has broken with the Dragon Court, this does not mean that there is no contact between the countries. The Shadow King is happy to use Drucci's head to replace some scarce supplies. By the way, Dispose of the captured items that Nagaryth has no use for.

At least in the outer ring of Ulthuan, Caledor, who started out as a military man, is pretty good. Around the world, the naval fleet in distant Cathay seems to be preparing to break away from Nan Gao's control over armaments and obtain some inconspicuous gadgets from the elves.

Three large sources of funds allow Caledor to maintain a strong professional army. In recent years, Dawn Fortress has also been continuously transfusing blood into the country and transporting precious commodities from the Southland and the Far East to the market.

If victory could be achieved with gold alone, Drachnir believed that the Dragon Palace's financial reserves would be enough to kill all the greenskins in the Badlands.

After visiting the two important sources of funds, Draconir naturally had to show off his aura as the future master of the kingdom and held a banquet in the palace to entertain prominent local figures.

For some reasons, he did not choose to let Gladys appear as his female companion. This was not an announcement meeting to show his determination to the people.

What needs to be done now is to convince mankind that the victory of this war is unquestionable, and everyone who actively contributes will benefit from it.

Accompanying the prince to the banquet was his cousin Philonina. The relationship between the two cannot be said to be close, it can only be said that they grew up together.

They are harmonious and natural when getting along, and also comply with the etiquette requirements of banquets.

But whether the prince who was actually present to meet the guests was an illusion created by magic is an intriguing matter. (End of chapter)
