Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 896 A friendship that is not friendship

"An unexpected answer..."

Minasnir expressed his evaluation of Belegar on behalf of his annoying companion. The fate of the Angrond clan may be tragic, but it seems extremely small to this world.

But a small thing can often lead to problems hidden deeper. Perhaps Bafeng Mountain is the turning point of the dwarves' fate...

Belegar did not want to negotiate too much about this black dragon. If his impression was correct, Minas Nir's brother died at the hands of the Angrond clan.

It is not in the character of a dwarf to pray for forgiveness, no matter how important this dragon is to the future.

He turned his attention back to Imric again. From the beginning to now, the elf has always kept his back. If Minas Nir hadn't been present, the dwarves might have suspected that this was a demonic conspiracy.

"What is the answer? I don't want some inexplicable answer. Your desire for the dragon horn is as strong as my recapture of the Eight Peaks Mountain. This responsibility comes from fate, so it is impossible for you and me to give Sol in this desolate and miserable bad land." Green builds a control network."

"Clan Moss."

The name he had never heard of made Belegar full of questions. The rats had been attacking the Eight Peaks Mountain for a long time, but he had never heard of a Skaven clan named Moss from anyone.

Based on intelligence from Kislev, the cavalry patrolling the edge of the Troll Kingdom discovered the Chaos Dwarves' railway transport vehicle, loading the evil creations of the corrupted clan and setting off towards the Dark Land.

"Failure? No, it's impossible. With the abilities of the rat men in the World's Edge Mountains, it's impossible to defeat our coalition."

Belegar thought seriously for some time and glanced at Minasnir thoughtfully. Just now, Imric raised the question of which is more important, the world or the Eight Peaks Mountain. It seemed that he was not only asking himself, but also asking himself.

"Yes, but it is troublesome for us to really win. Even if you regain the Eight Peaks Mountain and connect it with the Iron Peak Castle as an iron wall to form a shield to protect the mountain kingdom, the greenskins and ratmen can still survive. Activities outside your control area.

The informants deployed by Caledor in the Dark Land told me that Arkhan in Nagashzha tacitly allowed a Chaos convoy to continuously transport suspicious goods to Red Cloud Mountain and Misty Mountain.

Belega, do you know what this means? "

What you want is the Eight Peaks Mountain, and what I want, in addition to the dragon horn, is for the greenskins and ratmen to disappear in this vast land. "

They knew about the conflict between Caledor and Bretonnia. While gathering strength in the Blight Swamp, they also focused some attention on the World's Edge Mountains.

"But Thorgrin doesn't seem to support your idea. He only has eyes for the Mountain Kingdom."

Imric turned around, saw Belegar's confused face, and knew that he would definitely be dissatisfied with this perfunctory answer, so he could only tell some things that happened recently,

"Regarding what happened in Karak Budar, it was actually just to achieve one purpose, to allow the Thirteenth Council to divert its energy and convert the targets of plundering resources to greenskins.

"It doesn't matter, I don't expect everyone to understand my thoughts.

You obtain the Eight Peaks Mountain and return the Angland clan to its former glory. He leads the mountain kingdom and kills all those who covet the mountains. I will only ask you to do what I want when you complete your duties. Make a little change. "

"Sounds like a savior..." Belegar muttered, but then he thought about the Great Holy War. If Imric hadn't sacrificed his life to fight Be'lak in the Cursed City, it would be hard to tell whether Magnus Can lead the coalition forces to defeat the Chaos army. Maybe the elf is really a savior who is not understood?

Terrified by this thought, Belegar quickly drove it out of his mind and thought about the conversation just now. He vaguely seemed to have found a blind spot.

"You and I both know how you plan to deal with the matter in Bretonnia. Now that Magnus is mediating, the Holy Grail Knights are concerned about the human emperor's thoughts and will not take the initiative to provoke a war.

But if Magnus dies and the ratmen from the Blight Swamp emerge in full force, as well as the Druzi of Naggaroth, you will face a war besieged by many parties. …”

To hit the mark, Belega feels much clearer now. Many things that usually only have a vague feeling suddenly became enlightened after experiencing the meaning of revenge in the dark mirror.

"I am not afraid of war, and the fact is that the situation is more complicated than you think. One of the purposes of spending time laying railways in the badlands is to paralyze my enemies and make them think that Caledor is deeply involved in the war with the greenskins. Pull away.

Hmm... I expect this time to be probably fifteen years away. "

"A crazy plan, using the lifespan of tens of thousands of people for fifteen years in exchange for an opportunity that the enemy did not expect."

"Then Belegar, are you willing to gamble these fifteen years so that the Angrond clan can gain the friendship of the Dragon Court?"

"This is exploitation and oppression, but it will not be friendship." Belegar cursed a few times in a low voice, but still sighed as if he was resigned to his fate. He knew the importance. If he marched to the Eight Peaks Mountain regardless of the overall situation, what he would end up facing would be United Tiefengbao’s century-old war of resistance.

If you want to give the clan that has been in exile for a long time a chance to cultivate, the chess game Imrik set up is a good choice, at least when it comes to dealing with greenskins and ratmen.

"I reached a consensus with an elf, and I hope the ancestors won't blame me for my choice."

"Very good, very good." Imric nodded happily. Agrim, who originally planned to befriend Caledor, was paranoid about the Butcher's Oath and only wanted to find the undead for revenge.

The Angrond clan may not be able to match the strength of Karak Kaderin, but Belegar's flexible thinking is undoubtedly much better than Agrim's.

I believe that with Torek's full support, the clan, which has been in exile for thousands of years, will eventually return to its legendary glory, allowing the name of Eight Peaks Mountain to be resounding throughout the mountain kingdom.

Belega, who had reached a consensus, changed his direction at this moment. He first talked about Noglin. After all, during the day, the scene where this champion warrior who was born in the Eternal Peak faced off against Masno was really impressive. .

He took two steps forward, and it seemed that because of the conversation just now, he got a little closer to the unfamiliar elf.

"Noglin, I don't recommend that you keep him in the camp. The purpose of Thorglin sending him here is definitely not to cooperate with your plan.

This seemingly wise longbeard will only agree with actions he thinks are right, but in the eyes of the elf, any action is wrong. "

"Oh, Thorgreen is naturally waiting for me to be unable to bear this long beard, drive him away and then renegotiate.

But he seems to have forgotten one thing. I am not a chess piece left to be manipulated, and neither are you..."
