Warhammer: Return of the Dragon.

Bilak's escape caused Imrik to sheath the Sword of Creation. He remained silent as he looked at the warlord lying on the ground like a dead dog.

Creon rode up to His Majesty and asked in a deep voice, "Should we have the dragon seal off this area to ensure that no Chaos barbarians can escape?"

"You arrange this matter..." Imrik thought for a while. Since Bilak ran away, the focus would be on another person.

Diderik...

Following the traces of Be'lak's actions, Imrik forced the Nordland and Middenland to interrogate all the women who had been violated by the Norse barbarians.

This behavior caused the Phoenix King's status in the eyes of the Knights to decline. After all, when humans were suffering such a misfortune, the elves were still busy achieving certain goals, without even a word of condolence, which made people feel a little chilly.

Imrik would not set a precedent for such things as condolences. If every time the empire was invaded by Chaos, the Phoenix Court might send out a letter of inquiry, and then receive a letter requesting condolences and attendance the next day.

Compared to some insignificant goodwill, the Phoenix King is more concerned about Didrik's news.

If Bilak was a pawn created by the Chaos Gods to push forward the destruction of the world, whether Didrik can be found becomes a very troublesome problem.

After three months of investigation, even though the Chaos Invasion had been forcibly ended by the intervention of the Phoenix Court, the interrogation was still not over.

Countless women were violated, and the Norsemen were no fools. They killed the elderly and children and captured young and strong men and women and brought them back to the tribe to use as reproductive tools or to sell them as slaves around the world.

Fighting and making money are often the same thing.

Imrik had no way of telling who was carrying the Everchosen. Humans and elves had different physiological structures, so the pregnancy period was longer and there was almost no physiological impact at the beginning.

Locksia had a good idea. He volunteered to solve some troubles for the Phoenix King and let the Black Ark pirates act as executioners to dig out the women's bellies and let all the babies be inspected by the Phoenix King one by one.

This plan was rejected, and the impact was really not good.

Although Imrick had an idea in his mind, he might as well execute all the suspects...

But this is only a flash. If the Chaos Gods really want Archaon to appear, even if there is only three months, it is guaranteed that the Everchosen will grow into the physique of a big orc.

The lack of results in the search caused Dieter IV to panic, especially when Marienburg was about to propose a bill for a referendum to secede from the Empire, the attitude of the Phoenix King became particularly important.

In Middenheim's bedroom, His Majesty the Phoenix King, who had just finished his daily meeting with Great Ulric, received a piece of news.

Creon held up three documents and said with disdain, "Your Majesty, you have three documents waiting for your review.

They are Emperor Dieter IV of Styria, Prince William of Altdorf of the von Holswig Schlistin family of Reikland, and Count Clarence, Chairman of the Merchants' Union of Westerland."

Imrik rubbed his eyebrows and looked a little tired. Dealing with the Church of Yurik was not an easy task, especially when it came to the specific territory of the Laurent Lawrence Forest. The attitude of the Northern Elector became particularly important.

In the past, the relationship between Lauren and the Empire was superficially close, and humans did not want to offend Einel over a few kilometers of territory, which made it almost impossible to easily demarcate the territory.

However, as an enclave of the Elven Empire, Laurent Loren could not continue the past tradition of keeping an ambiguous attitude on territorial division. Both sides maintained a relatively harmonious attitude and jointly discussed how to determine Laurent Loren's territory. The northern hurdle was resolved, but in the matter of territorial disputes, a vote of the Electoral Council was still required.

The Phoenix King, feeling much relieved, took the document handed over by the captain of the guard and first opened the emperor's letter with the pure skull symbol.

The letter basically said that Dite IV believed that some minor mistakes had been made in the negotiations with the elves, but that this was not enough to affect the friendship between the two majesties.

The Elf Empire's emphasis on enclaves made the Sigma Empire very honored. It believed that although the relationship between the two countries was harmonious, they must also draw a clear line on the issue of sovereignty.

The Human Emperor promised that as long as the Phoenix King did not interfere with the referendum bill in West Territory and ignored some of his minor mistakes in the past, the area of ​​Laurent Lawrence Forest could be adjusted appropriately.

Imrik sneered disdainfully. This emperor was truly competent as he sold out the country's sovereignty for profit.

"Tell King Dieter IV that if he is smart, he should step down from the throne as soon as possible. During the reign of my old friend Magnus, there was not a single Chaos invasion in the Empire. But how come in his case, the electors ask for help from the Phoenix Court every other day?"

"I'll tell you exactly what I said."

Throwing the emperor's letter to the herald is a piece of evidence. As for who will use it, Imrik will make a judgment based on subsequent circumstances.

The second letter was from the Elector Family of Reikland, which had signed many agreements with Caledor. The current Prince William of Aldorf attached great importance to the relationship with the Phoenix Court, and when Imrik arrived in the empire, he sent a special commissioner to express his greetings.

And now this letter meets the requirements of Rick County.

The general information was much more useful than the emperor's words. First, William explained the importance of Westerland to the empire. If merchants were allowed to control the river exports connecting the ocean and the interior, the Phoenix Court would also suffer a lot of losses in trade.

William implicitly expressed the hope that the Phoenix King could exert some influence and interfere with the outcome of the referendum.

It also came with a piece of cryptic intelligence about Emperor Dieter IV's bribery, indicating that the emperor would be impeached in the Electoral Council. If von Holswig Schlister's family was fortunate enough to receive Sigmar's favor and ascend to the throne of the empire's supreme power, he would definitely repay the Phoenix King's kindness.

The letters from Marienburg were even simpler. The merchant nobles bluntly stated how much advantage they could get in bilateral trade if you helped Westerland gain independence.

How can power and status compare with money? Only the pure and brilliant color of gold is the eternal truth of the world.

All three letters were collected by the herald. Imrik shook his head helplessly, thinking that it was all political collusion.

Although I don't want to get involved in the Empire's troubles, there are some things that I really can't ignore...

"What do you think of Westland's bill to secede from the Empire, my old friend?"

Magnus sat quietly on the sofa. As he finished reading the three copies of the document, his expression became increasingly stern, and murderous aura could not be stopped from leaking out of his body.

The devout man's smile was extremely forced, but his eyes were full of anger.

"Traitors, a group of intolerable traitors!" (End of this chapter)
