Warhammer: Return of the Dragon.
Chapter 1152: The Customs of Nordland
It turned out that it was impossible for Imrick to put on the chain mail used by his Bretonnian grandfather. He only took a few glances and completely lost his curiosity about the equipment of the knight grandfather.
Just like the tone of this country, without the help of the Lady of the Lake, there is almost nothing worthy of praise except the moral level...only the personal morality is worth respecting.
The Phoenix King ordered all the captured items to be thrown into the furnace. Although there were great differences in the craftsmanship levels, an iron ingot was still an iron ingot. It was more practical to utilize the waste rather than wasting space as a decoration.
The Black Ark, which had been wreaking havoc in Bretonnia for a long time, followed the footsteps of the Phoenix King to the Imperial Waters.
When West and his Sea Tamers discovered the scarlet Kraken flag of the God-blessed evil party, they all fell into fear.
Strictly speaking, the Imperial Navy is not even as strong as Bretonnia. Apart from some control over the Sea of Claws, it has almost no outstanding military achievements.
This is understandable. After all, among the Electors, only Ost, Nord and West are on the sea. The former two are located in the north and are already exhausted from dealing with the invasion of the Norse barbarians. How could they have the energy to develop an extra navy?
Merchants are the most vulnerable. If a problem can be solved with gold, they will never choose to use force.
Even with the support of the Church of Mannarn, Westerland's naval power is still not ranked among the best in the world. Apart from protecting normal commercial flows, it is almost impossible to fight against the dragon boat fleet of Norsca in the north.
Therefore, when the God-blessed evil party greeted Lord West, the merchant lords who mistakenly thought that Lord Kraken had shifted his focus from Bretonnia to the Empire did not hesitate to bring their warehouses full of gold and treasures, and in a tactful and humble manner, informed them that they had established good trade relations with the Phoenix Court.
The humble merchant had both his arms broken by Locksia, and thought that the reward was too little, so he gave all his gold to the Phoenix King.
For such a loyal Druzy, Imrick had no choice but to accept everything and leave nothing for West.
Gold is hard currency everywhere. Even the greenskins who lack common sense in society like these shiny things.
The expenses at home are high, it would be a waste not to take some.
Nordland is an electoral territory that is considered strange even in the Empire. From a geographical point of view, it undoubtedly belongs to the north, and it should follow Ulric's teachings and learn the way of the warrior.
But they were not the common Teutons in the north of the empire, which led to the Nords being in a very embarrassing situation before the establishment of the empire. They were bullied by the Teutons in the south and humiliated by the Norscans in the north.
In order to cope with this crisis, the pressure of life caused the Nords to become extremely barbaric and stubborn. They devoutly believed in Ulric and believed that lying and retreating were cowardly acts. As long as there was a slight chance of victory, they would never leave the battlefield.
Because of their mixed blood with the Norsemen, the Nords have many similar customs to their northern neighbors, such as having the fate of a sinner decided by the law through duels and washing away sins with blood.
So when Imrik got off the ship from Sethemund, he saw a large group of Nord soldiers wearing animal skin cloaks, with voices as loud as those of the dwarves, and shouting all kinds of attacks on the Norse people. For a moment, he was a little confused whether this was in the territory of Norsca or in the Empire.
The Chaos invasion has already begun, and His Excellency the Elector Count has no chance to prepare greetings from the Phoenix King. He is busy leading the Nord Marines to resist the dragon boats heading south, and only orders his daughter to bring her servants to greet the distinguished guest from afar.
The young lady of the Elector family, who was dignified and beautiful, but whose frame was no less powerful than that of a warrior, bowed to the Phoenix King in a respectful tone, bent her knees and lifted her skirt.
"Your Majesty, the Phoenix King, I am Evelina Gowther, and I am here to welcome you on the orders of my father, the Elector Elliot..."
The Elector Lady secretly looked at the Phoenix King. It was said that his majesty was as handsome as he was brave. Today, she saw that it was indeed true. The many elves she had seen in the empire could not match the cold and unusual face of the pure dragon tamer. The arrogance flowing in his aura made all the humans around him feel afraid.
"So, one of the reasons why I hate the Empire is that I always like to find irrelevant people to express my welcome." Imrik complained in Elvish. Judging from her status, this noble lady should be considered a suitable person to welcome us.
But I'm here to support the Chaos invasion, not to have a social party in Nordland. You showed up at the port in a flashy and exquisite court dress. What are you planning to do? Discuss how to get a half-elf tonight?
I want the current situation of the Chaos invasion, not fake greetings between nobles.
Not knowing what the Phoenix King said, Evelina could only maintain a polite smile and wait for his majesty's orders. However, she did not expect that Imrik's words would directly make her feel awkward.
"Okay, you can go."
Evelina's smile froze for a moment, she recalled the standard Imperial language she had just heard, and couldn't believe the general inquiry.
"what do you mean?"
"You can go back to the castle and continue to be a quiet noble lady." Imrik waved his hand and told the daughter of the Nord Elector to get out. I don't have time to pay attention to your nonsense.
"Have the local White Wolf Knight Captain come to see me. It would be best if he brings a few Yurik priests with him. I need to know the details of the Chaos invasion."
Evelina wanted to persuade them, but the Flame Knight had already roughly pushed away the Elector's welcoming team.
The meaning of being a local snake is that you have the strength to fight back, but when facing a real dragon, such a counterattack will only bring ridicule.
The arrival of the White Wolf Knight and Priest Ulric will still take some time, but the thousands of elves who have come to the empire must find a place to stay.
There is naturally enough space in Sessenmond for the elves to live, but there is a very strange smell in the northern city. Many facilities in this city, which was built thousands of years ago, still use old objects.
For example, a clogged sewer system...
In addition, the invasion of Chaos caused a large influx of people, and the city was filled with a stench, forcing Imrik to walk with his nose covered. Even if he used magic to purify the unpleasant smell, he could still vaguely smell it.
In order to take care of the feelings of his subordinates, especially the arrogant Flame Knights who don't want to live together with humans, the Phoenix King is also a bachelor.
The purpose of the city wall is defense, but if I just stand there and they don't dare to hit me, then the city wall would have been built in vain.
Thousands of elite soldiers chose to station directly in the wild, and joined forces with dozens of dragons to forcibly create an unstoppable appearance.
Tall trees fell under the experienced axes of the White Lion Guards, turning into building materials waiting to be used. (End of this chapter)
