Warhammer: Return of the Dragon.

It was three days after the earthquake that Attila saw Agrim again.

Different from the furious butcher on the battlefield, the Butcher King, who bears the identity of Lord Kadrin at this moment, seems a little depressed.

He failed to kill the Big Belly King, which caused the war situation to deteriorate again and again. The uncontrolled Kadrin Butchers, even though they were suppressed by the High King during the war, chose to respond to Grimnir's call when the earthquake came, and died together with the damned greenskins to cover the departure of their fellow bloodskins.

The butcher who left his life in the abyss was a hero, but at this moment, the Butcher King turned into a depressed person who kept sighing.

No one blamed him, but Agrim was still deeply trapped in self-blame.

"Who is this?" Karl Franz asked knowingly, pointing his finger at the beautiful elf who entered the room, attracting the attention of everyone present to the newcomer.

Creon, who was accompanying them, naturally had to follow the tradition to introduce Etila, who had never been to the Old World. The Flame Knight spoke slowly and confidently in the impeccable court language of Oshuan.

"Prince Terenlock, Guardian of the Dusk Sea, Daughter of the Seagull, Princess of the Chariot, Second in Command of the Phoenix King's War Council..."

The translator picked out a few key words from the obscure elven court language and translated it into the imperial language with an embarrassed look on his face. Everyone knew who she was, it was just a matter of going through the process.

A series of titles, with Creon's deep voice, finally turned into names.

"Attila Kyle Baker."

As the translator revealed the name, the emperor finally nodded. He was not very familiar with the elves.

These old monsters often do not move around in the Old World. Even Elvis Harandur, who is known as the youngest senior official in Caledo, is more than ten times older than him.

"Welcome, Prince Etila. I am Karl Franz, and many people call me the emperor."

"I have long heard of your great name, Emperor Karl Franz... I have always been curious about the Old World. Why did the Phoenix King repeatedly disregard the important matters of Ulthuan and the advice of his ministers and insist on coming to the Old World to deal with matters that had nothing to do with the elves?

After meeting today, perhaps I have the answer." Atila's tone was subtle, and anyone could hear the dissatisfaction in the princess' words.

Karl handled the situation in a very sophisticated way. He nodded calmly, as if he didn't hear the critical words.

"The races of order need to work together to resist the forces of darkness. Only by uniting can we move towards a better future. Altdorf has worked towards this goal for generations. We uphold the philosophy of His Majesty Magnus and believe that the elves are powerful allies that are no less powerful than the dwarves."

Bringing up Magnus meant that if Atila wanted to continue to find fault, the High King next to her would certainly not let the elves do as they pleased. The Great Crusade laid an important foundation for the legal basis of Thorgrim's rule. He was not only the son of Drakduraz who successfully established contact with Dulong City, but also a hero as famous as Agrim in the Great Crusade.

“Really…” Atila did not comment, glanced at the silent High King, and then said: “Magnus, the greatest emperor of the empire, has passed away, but the three heroes of the dwarves in the Great Crusade are in their prime. If King Belegar were here, perhaps we could easily win.”

What is this trying to say...

Thorgrin frowned. He had never dealt with female elves before, so it was difficult for him to guess what Atila meant.

The three great kings of the Great Crusade, Magnus, Erikson and Imrik, represent the most honorable names of the three races. The first two kings have passed away, Magnus has no heir, and the name of Erikson is inherited by Thorgrim, Agrim and Belegar, respectively symbolizing the wisdom, bravery and tenacity of the previous king.

The heroes of the great crusade have passed away, and the dwarves are fighting on their own. Only Imrik, Masno...

Thorgrin's brows relaxed, and he suddenly realized that the female elf was exerting pressure in a hidden way.

The Supreme King responded calmly and confidently: "If Belejia were here, and the Eight Peaks Abyss Legion personally wiped out the ratmen, there would definitely not be things like earthquakes...

Elf Prince, we know Elvis' efforts. He killed the ratmen with his own hands. Even the oldest long-bearded rat catcher in the Mountain Kingdom has to show respect. This earthquake has nothing to do with the war. Don't drag the topic into something that cannot be handled!"

As for the question of accountability for the earthquake, no one dared to mention it again in Thorgreen's gloomy judgment.

If this matter is discussed in detail, the dwarves should bear the greatest responsibility. They are the dwarves from Karak Dreadnought's home turf, but they knew nothing about the situation in the tunnel and needed the elves to provide help in rat extermination.

Adila nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that her husband's judgment about Thorgrin was not wrong. This Dwarf High King was not a dwarf at all.

"The Phoenix King is busy dealing with some troublesome matters concerning the aftermath of the earthquake. I will attend the relevant events on his behalf."

"Full authority, or..." Kurt questioned. The empire didn't want to hear that the promise it heard at this moment would change afterwards. What does what Prince Terenlock said have to do with me, the Phoenix King.

"Full authority, or Marshal Kurt, you are questioning my qualifications to represent the Phoenix King."

On the surface, for the sake of the overall unification of the elves, the Eternal Queen of the Daughter of Aisha has always been an important slogan for the royal court to reconcile relations. The union of the two majesties is the will of the gods, which greatly satisfies Asrai's needs.

Of course, for insiders, everyone unanimously believes that Atila is the real wife of the Phoenix King, and both parties have never made any changes to their marriage due to changes in their identities.

But in a formal diplomatic occasion, it was difficult for Atila to directly say that she was the wife of the Phoenix King.

"Okay, stop these useless diplomatic attempts." Thorgrin, the most experienced one, turned into a peacemaker at this moment. He rubbed his brows and showed a trace of fatigue for the first time.

He had no idea what the current situation of Karak Dreadnought was. If this important mountain fortress in the Grey Mountains fell and completely became a victim of the evil plan of the rats, it would become the worst stain on his reign. He was afraid that only by going to the Butcher's Shrine in Kadrin and becoming the first Butcher of the High King could he wash away the shame.

When it comes to the level of anxiety, he is naturally the most anxious.

Thorgren spread his hands, stepped down from his chair, and said sincerely: "There are many problems in this war, problems that we cannot deny..."

He looked at Carl and said directly without hesitation: "Carl, you must want to blame the dwarves for being attacked by artillery, which slowed down their advance and made it difficult for them to deploy their formation... At first, I had a similar idea, thinking that you should attack Karak Dreadnought directly instead of supporting the dwarves.

But now, I only have the thought of saving Karak Dreadnought, rather than dwelling on some decisions that have lost their meaning. " (End of this chapter)
