Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 107 The Call of War
Two years have passed since the celebration. In the past two years, Caledon has been accumulating strength, and has achieved good growth in terms of military, economy, and people's livelihood.

It is now the end of the 138 years since Finnubar's coronation as the Phoenix King, which means that the war that Imrik has been waiting for for a long time is about to begin.

In the Mage Tower of the Dragon Palace, Imrik asked Hadaret in front of him, "How much has the concentration of Chaos Energy increased? I need an accurate value."

"At least 40.00% five, and it continues to rise. Our people in Caledon have tried their best to stabilize the wind of magic, but the effect is extremely poor. This chaotic storm is the strongest in the past thousand years. A Twilight Tide is only 15.00%, but it has already caused a lot of trouble." The mage operating the equipment reported the situation.

"Inform the Temple of Vaal, the Temple of Ardaeus, and the Flame Tower, and try our best to stabilize the chaotic energy in Caledor."

"Yes."

After giving the order to the mage, Imrik walked out of the mage's tower. This chaotic storm swept over a huge area, and portals connecting the Chaos Demon Realm had appeared in many areas of the kingdoms of Ulthuan.

Especially in Yris, although under the leadership of Moralion and Eltharion, the portal was quickly closed with the Azorta Maha Waystone, but there were still many losses.

Back at the dragon court, I looked at Masno, who has become a high-ranking dragon prince. He is now the general of the Tar Kared garrison, which is well-deserved for a dragon prince who has fought for hundreds of years.

"You take people to the Anuli Mountains, and always pay attention to the invasion of the wave of monsters. If there is a subspace portal, report it to the court immediately."

After Masnow saluted and accepted the order, he immediately turned and walked out of the palace. The country has been preparing for this storm for a long time, and it only needs to follow the steps.

After Masno walked out, Imric took out the communicator and connected Randy and Agthel, "reporting the situation of Caledon Rest and Wind Howling City."

First, Randy's voice came out, "Caledor's resting place lacks guide stones, and there have been many portals caused by chaotic energy. I am leading people to kill those demons."

"Only some monsters have invaded Wind Howl City, and there is nothing unusual for the time being." Agthel then explained the situation.

"Block the passage from Lothern to Caledor. No one is allowed to pass until the chaos storm is over."

"Yes." Although he didn't know why Imric paid so much attention to this chaotic storm, Randy accepted the order.

"Agthel, pay attention to the situation of Terren Locke. If necessary, I will allow you to let Ed Terris lead troops to support them."

"Yes."

After turning off the communicator, Imrik thought about the next thing with a serious face. After two years of development, Caledon has achieved good results in all aspects, but it is far from enough. He has 27 high-level dragons in his hand. A prince, three giant dragon mages, and a shining star dragon.

Ingerthos has never found a partner he agrees with, and he has not forced it, so it has become the only pure dragon unit.

After the Great Council was held, many nobles returned to the sequence of Dragon Princes, and there are now a total of 980 Dragon Princes.

As for the dragon lord's guards, there are 500 dragon halberd guards.

The two-handed hero has been given the troop number of Patunuin's Claw by himself, the name of an ancient dragon, a total of 3000 people.

The cavalry is called the Horns of the Sun, with a total of 2000 people. Although Imrik feels that his name is a bit of a second-guess, he is still proud of it.

In addition to other standing troops and a small number of religious troops, mountain rangers, etc., the total number of Caledonian troops is [-], and all kinds of war equipment are complete, far exceeding the quantity and quality of other kingdoms. strongest time.

But fighting can't just be based on strength on paper. There are still many uncertain factors. Imric has no memory of how the battle of the Fennoire Plain started.

I only remember that Tyrion took the Eternal Queen to Saffrey, and then rectified the army. The two Tyrion brothers blew up Druzzi's army by [-]%. magic domain.

An attendant hurried in from the outside, "Your Highness, there is a message from the Phoenix Royal Court, and I personally delivered it on a flying horse."

Walking down from the Dragon Claw Throne, Imrik took the letter from the attendant. After the chaos storm appeared, the magical communication between the kingdoms was postponed indefinitely. On the contrary, this human method was much more efficient.

"Sir Imrik, since the chaos storm resurged, the northern Chaos tribes have begun to attack Cosque and Yris. I need the power of every kingdom to make Ulthuan through this crisis! I hope you can come to the war council , to support the battle in the east, Ulthuan needs Caledor!"

The signature is Finubar's, but Imrik didn't care too much about it. Generally speaking, the Chaos tribe's attack on Ulthuan would not achieve much effect, but Drucci needs to pay close attention to how the Witch King started to attack Yes, this is a question worth thinking about.

Holding the letter, Imrik stood on the spot and meditated, "Chaos Storm, Chaos Invasion in eastern Ulthuan, Druzzi, Malekith, Morath..."

Suddenly his pupils shrank, thinking of an impossible situation, a portal caused by chaotic energy!

Now Ulthuan's guide stone and defensive magic have been almost reached the critical point by the storm of chaos, completely unable to isolate the magic from the north, and if Malekith's goal is Alarielle, then the portal will definitely be destroyed. Put it in Avalon, otherwise it is impossible to bypass the five gates and enter the inner ring.

The Eternal Queen, this title is not only the mortal ruler of Avalon and the traditional king of Ulthuan, but also symbolizes the connection between Aisha and Asur.

The existence of the Eternal Queen symbolizes that Asur can live stably in this dangerous world.

Alarielle is meaningless to Imrik, but the Eternal Queen is of great significance to Azul. Even Caledor, a kingdom that is relatively out of Ulthuan's political system, still has respect for the Eternal Queen. Not to mention other kingdoms.

In the original world line, Tyrion personally led the troops of the kingdoms to rescue Alisara who was kidnapped by Akhan and Manfred, not only because she was Tyrion's daughter, but also to Azul, eternal The queen is a more important figure than the Phoenix King, she is the spiritual symbol of Azul.

And once Aisha's incarnation passes away in the mortal world, Asur's fertility rate will be a disaster, and it will also prevent the chaos and corruption from being effectively purified.

Now Tyrion is still serving as the general of the Lothern garrison, and there is no chance to save Alarielle, which is a bit troublesome.

After waving his hand to let the attendants back down first, Imrik sat back on the Dragon Claw Throne and began to weigh the pros and cons, whether to save Alarielle or not.

The Eternal Queen's status in Ulthuan will not be lower than that of the Phoenix King. She is the monarch in the traditional sense. If she is saved, then Caledon will have no resistance to his affairs in Ulthuan, and he can Focus on what's next.

Moreover, once Aisha's God's Choice dies, the problem of Asur's sparse population will be even more difficult to solve.

Go back to the study first, intending to use the communicator to connect to the court of Avalon. As time passed, Imrik's face became more and more ugly. The communicator still did not respond after a long time, obviously an accident occurred.

Now there are two possibilities. The first is that the Chaos Storm caused this magical communication route to fail, and the other is that the Avalon court has been captured.

Use the emergency communication device to connect the various heads of the kingdom to, Imrik said, "Now hold the highest meeting of the kingdom!"

After hearing the respective responses from each person in charge, Imrik started the strategic deployment.

"I declare that the country has entered a state of war, and all affairs need to be based on military action as the highest criterion."

"I need to go to Avalon. Sir Randy will be in charge of the Dragon Court on my behalf, Agthel will be in charge of the affairs of Windhowling City, and Edteris will lead a troop to Terrenlock to support Etila's operations."

The Dragon Prince thought about it, and the affairs of Caledon's Rest House can be entrusted to one person.

"Asanil is in charge of Caledon's Rest House, Lord Greenton and Alagir handle logistics and government affairs, the Vaal Church and Ardaeus Church send some people to the Dragon's Back Mountain Range, and the Flame Tower follows the instructions of Lord Randy. "

High Dragon Prince Asaniel is as famous as his dragon companion Deathfang, efficient and ruthless in combat, son of Dragon Prince Aserion.

Now as Randy's adjutant, his prestige in Caledon will definitely not be inferior to Agthel's, but his brain is not very good, and he is extremely slow in politics.

If it was in the original world line, he would be in the battle of Finnuvar Plain. Because of the unfavorable integration with the Lothern army, he chose to return to Caledon to deal with the Druzzi army, and was exiled by Finnubar to Tyrell in the old world As a dog of war, Imrik wouldn't let that happen.

"Prince, what is the purpose of your trip to Avalon? If you enter a state of war, Caledor needs you to blow the dragon horn." This is the question of Agthel. He has been stationed in Wind Howl City for two years. A member of Caledon's inner circle of power.

"The death of the former Eternal Queen is related to Drucci, and with the appearance of this chaotic storm, those dark bastards will definitely not miss this opportunity. I predict that they will open the portal to Avalon to assassinate Alarielle, and I'll get her out straight away."

As soon as the news came out, the meeting fell silent for a while. Alarielle doesn't have a daughter. If she dies, it will be a catastrophe for Azul. Even if the Phoenix King dies, it doesn't matter. Choose another That's it.

But the meaning of the Eternal Queen to Ulthuan is no less than that of the dragon lord to Caledor. Even if all the Caledonians are present, we need to be cautious about this matter.

Asanil's voice came from the magic device, just like the name of his partner Death Fang, the tone was indifferent, "Your Highness, I can go to Avalon to rescue the Eternal Queen on your behalf, Caledor can't live without it at any time." Dragon Lord."

Although Asanil's loyalty makes Imrik feel sincerely happy, this matter cannot be left to others. Minasnir, as the Shining Star Dragon, has enough combat power to retreat unscathed when fighting against Druzzi .

And Caledon will definitely be the key target of Druzzi's attack. The threat of the dragon and the dragon prince is too great for the Witch King. Tyne, the north supports Tyrannok, unless Malekith is a fool, he will inevitably invest a large number of troops in Caledor as a diversion.

High-level dragon princes and dragon mages need to defend the country, even if they can't rescue Alarielle, there are ways to get out.

"Your loyalty pleases me from the bottom of my heart, Asanil, but your responsibility is to take charge of the Caledor Rest. I will go directly to Avalon with Minasnier, and if you do not return immediately, you will deal with domestic affairs We will send troops to support other kingdoms after we are done, we must not allow any enemy to enter the Dragon's Back Mountain Range!"

After finishing speaking, hang up directly, put on the armor, pick up the dragon fire sword and the heroic gun Solarion, Imrik intends to stage a story of a hero saving the beauty, although it is old-fashioned, it is very important, the dragon Isn't it like killing a chicken for the lord to kill Drucci?

…………

In the wilderness in the north of Naggaros, there is a large number of Druzzi troops gathered here. Under the order of the Witch King, the rulers of various cities have sent the most elite troops to Grond.

The Black Guard of Naggarond led by Kuran Blackhand, the Halganxi Executioners of Turaris, the Rakkas Beast Legion, the Cold One Knights of Malus, the Guard of the Unspeakable, and the Skull Soul War Regiment, Shadow Warband, Pale Queen's vanguard... a series of troops famous in Naggaroth gathered at the Tower of the North.

A woman with an extremely gorgeous posture and a revealing figure stepped forward from behind the altar. Under the beautiful long black hair was a touching face, wearing only some simple clothes, showing her proud figure without any concealment. Across the gap of the altar, it seems that one can smell the breath-taking and alluring aura.

Facing the eager eyes of most people, Morath, the mother of the Witch King, took the Caladine wand and began to teleport the spell.

As the executioners kept swinging their single crisp knives, the Supreme Witch raised her wand and began to guide the souls of these innocents, chanting the incantation to sacrifice Hekati, and a purple-black portal began to rise in the center of the ceremony square .

The Supreme Witch began to call for war, "People of the real Phoenix King, now is the time to regain the kingship for my son, remember the pain, and never forget those betrayals!"

On the black tower of Naggarond, Malekith is manipulating a treasure obtained from the Chaos Wasteland. With the release of witchcraft and countless sacrifices, the spherical device began to emit a purple halo .

A halo of psychedelic smoke emanates from the sphere, Nakali, a Slaanesh who hates all Aenarion's blood, but this time it will kill each other as Aenarion's blood With the help of his help, Malekith, Alarielle, Tyrion, and Teclis, these four are the elves it swore to kill.

But now, with the spell of Malekith, Nakali began to gather power in Ulthuan again, and a portal opened from the eternal forest of Avalon, resonating with the spell of the High Witch in Gorond .

The chaotic energy creates gaps in the distance of space. Chaos and disorder are the essence of the world. Under the control of Slaanesh, the portal will spread boundless fear to Ulthuan, the land blessed by the gods.

The Eternal Queen, killing her will destroy Azul's spiritual pillar. The death of Prince Caledor three years ago has already shown this. Once the Eternal Queen dies, Azul will submit to the real Phoenix King!
