Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 417 Ideological Infiltration

"First of all, I think His Excellency Masnow is worthy of being your champion warrior. His performance on the battlefield is like Ersun's envoy, full of strength, bringing ice and death to the enemy."

Caution is the new knowledge that Lasker has learned in the past few years. Before finding out why the Dragon Prince summoned him, it is better to be more careful.

But Imrik didn't intend to let the sergeant praise his champion warrior any more, so he interrupted Raskul's words of continuing to praise Damian,
"What I want to listen to is your feelings, not other things. I read the file report on you before the body showed any abnormalities, and found that you seem to be very interested in philosophy and political knowledge."

"I believe that a person without ideas will not touch these two. Tell me how you feel after leaving Kislev."

Raskol was stunned. According to his previous impression of the Dragon Prince, he would not refuse compliments on force and glory.

Then he lowered his head, contemplating his feelings during this period of time.

After a while, he raised his head, "Caledor, or Ulthuan, I envy you very much. You have a piece of land suitable for living. Even in the high mountains of Caledon, it can still support tens of thousands of people. While ensuring that the kingdom has sufficient military strength, it can also guarantee the lives of the people."

"Continue, this conversation will not be known by a third person." Imrik said flatly, motioning for Lasker to continue.

"My hometown is in the north of Kislev, and the living conditions there..." Raskol lowered his head, as if unwilling to recall his childhood experience, and continued, "The gods arranged the location of each kingdom. , which we cannot change."

"But during this period of time, I have been deeply impressed by the stupidity of the rulers of Kislev and the contradictions in the existence of this cold kingdom. The legitimacy of the nobles' rule comes from the ever-present threat of chaos. It is undeniable that they did something long ago. Well done, but now they've turned into a bunch of bastards lying on top of the people and sucking blood."

"I admire you very much, because you led Caledor to gradually restore its former glory, and your political opinions are also highly respected. No one will doubt any of your decisions, but the situation of Kislev..." Laskol Shaking his head slowly, he was a little pessimistic about the situation of Kislev from some of his colleagues in the advance team.

The newly crowned tsarina sealed off Kislev, established a secret police agency, and firmly controlled the surrounding lands, but had little actual control over the rest.

A large number of nobles gathered in the palace, turning a blind eye to the needs of the people in the territory, and ended every day with overeating and having fun.

As the ruler, Empress Katrin just inspected Erengrad and returned to the court after bringing a large number of items from Drake Bay. No one knew what she was thinking.

Hearing Laskol's words, Imrik tapped his arms with his fingers, and he himself had heard about Kislev's situation.

The general situation now is that except for Erengrad, which Caledo had tried to protect before, most areas have fallen into a kind of intelligence restricted zone. It was all the same, a large number of civilians were sent to abandoned villages, repeating what their ancestors had done countless times.

As for the city of Kislev, where the female tsarist sits, no one from another country has entered for a long time, and no one knows the exact situation.

But the most serious one is Prager. After the mysterious disappearance of the construction team of Ostermark and Osterland, the Elector chose to sever contact with him because the Queen did not give a clear reply.

As the emperor, Magnus sent a special envoy to inquire about Catherine, but the reply he received was that the construction team was completely killed by Norska, and Kislev would avenge them, but the empire's support could not be left behind.

Under the pressure of the elector, Magnus did not send another construction team, but only gave some material support due to the importance of the northern kingdom to the empire.

The relationship between the two countries has entered a trough since the great jihad united as one.

"You are a thoughtful person. I proposed in the noble council before that the human beings under the rule can also receive a high-level education, so as to ensure that there is a sufficient talent pool in the country." Imrik began to write and act, and the nobles It has been a few years since Parliament has been held, but that doesn't mean he can't pull the flag.

"But it's a pity that there are always some objections to this in the country. They think that human beings only need to be a labor force and receive basic education. Caledon has the power to protect them and can provide fairly good living conditions."

Raskol nodded to show that he understood that all the mercenaries in the advance team had received literacy education and were required to at least be able to understand the various marks on the military map. He was just a curious person and learned more.

"You are off to a good start. At least you have gained some meritorious service on the battlefield, which will make many members of the noble council hesitate for a moment, and obtain more favorable conditions for the humans under Caledon's rule."

"What do you want me to do?" Raskol vaguely understood what Imrik was going to say next, and an unbelievable thought appeared in his mind.

"I can specially approve you to enter Tal Kared Academy for two years of study, as an attempt of a new system, during which the court will guarantee that you will not be disturbed by anyone, as long as you can hand over a Satisfactory report." Imrik didn't plan to test whether Lasker had any intention of further studies, even if he was forced to order, he would have to go to the academy for two years.

As for whether other human beings have this opportunity to enter the academy, Imrik believes that unless it is specially approved by him, and he has gained some meritorious service on the battlefield, otherwise, with the temper of the dean, it is impossible to accept multiple monkeys to enter the sacred academy.

Raskol bowed his head and began to think about this matter. Five years have passed since the eight-year employment period, and it only takes three years to return to Kislev. This means that he no longer needs to face these proud elves. And the dangerous battlefield environment.

The non-commissioned officer chose to settle the eight-year employment fee in one lump sum for eight years. As long as he got the money, he could buy a manor in his hometown and live the life of a gentleman that most soldiers desire; Buying a merchant ship, relying on the contacts accumulated with some Caledor elves during the service, gives priority to purchasing goods that are in short supply, so as to obtain extremely high profits.

But if he hesitated for too long, he would not join the Caledonian mercenary army with Mazov, but would follow the refugees to a certain city in the empire and become a member of the port gang.

"It's my pleasure, when will this refresher start?"

"After the war is over, or in other words, when you can leave the battlefield alive."
