Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 421 Inner Circle
"How many Ratmen were killed?"

Imrik took the water bottle from Creon, poured it on his hands and touched the blood on his face.

They hadn't had a good time killing them yet, but the Ratman seemed to know the situation here, and the rats that were still gushing out of the tunnel stopped.

Although I really wanted to rush into that tunnel and kill all the rats I could see, my brain still outweighed my desire to kill.

"About five thousand or so."

Creon calculated the corpses around him, especially the thick corpses near the cave, and looked at the prince with surprise.

Compared with the dragon lord who was good at precise and fatal blows in his impression, Imrik just now was like a butcher, as long as the ratmen in front of him would turn into corpses.

Whether it's the piercing of the star cavalry spear, the corpse cut in two with the spear point, or the coke made by the dragon thunder.

In terms of killing efficiency, the 60 flame knights can only barely match it.

Bursts of foul-smelling breath poured into Imrik's nostrils, but this breath, which may have caused physical discomfort in the past, has become a good medicine for calming the mind at this moment.
If there are some things that make him happy, maybe the first is the awakening of the dragon, the second is the Rat Killer, and the third is to kill Du Luqi.

Looking at the sky, he felt that there was still some time before the sun rose, and a flame spewed out from his mouth, evaporating the blood on the star lance.

Facing Creon's surprised and somewhat excited eyes, Imrik stood up and patted Mortellius' slender neck, "Continue, this mission will not end until the sun rises."

"Yes."

On the other hand, in Sky City, a discussion about the prince's situation is going on in secret.

As the commander of the Dragon Prince, Edgar frowned and told what he had just learned, "Imrik ran out of the city gate with the Flame Knight, I don't think he wanted to do some reconnaissance missions himself, to be honest I A little worried about his physical and mental condition."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Bruni and Edtelis, who had more contact with Imric, and asked, "You should know more, I just came to Lustria from Caledor recently. , after this battle, I plan to go back to retire, and wait until the expedition to Naggaroth before returning."

Ed Terris was the first to speak. Regarding Imrik's recent situation, he didn't necessarily know more than Edgar.

He could only shake his head slowly, expressing that he was unable to express any opinions on this matter, "I'm not too sure, Etila also deliberately concealed this matter, and Davian is mainly responsible for the contact with Hesiota. I'm afraid no one knows what Imrik has done inside. Besides, I was transferred from Anaheim to Qingyan Port a year ago, so I don't know much about this matter than you."

Several people around the table focused their eyes on Bruni. They were discussing the next joint battle between the high-ranking Dragon Prince, Dragon Prince, and Horn of the Sun, but the Dragon Prince, who was the commander-in-chief, suddenly rushed out and interrupted the process. .

Compared with the tactics that have been discussed many times, Edgar, as a member of the noble council, is still more concerned about Imrik's situation.

Being watched, Bruni also shook his head slowly, expressing that he was not too clear about this matter. In the past few years, he was mainly responsible for the training of the Horn of the Sun to fight in complex terrain, and went to the north from time to time to support the Shadow King's attack on Naggaroth. War, how can there be time to pay attention to so many things.

When he was at a loss, Edgar named a person, which surprised many Dragon Princes.
"Let Mi Shan come, I hope he can give some advice."

These words made Asanil next to him feel uncomfortable. You must know that this small room is full of high-ranking nobles in Caledor, but even some senior dragon princes are not qualified to participate in the discussion. It makes no sense for a human Enter.

"But he's a human being."

Seeing Bruni's unfriendly gaze, Asanil quickly explained that he didn't want to try the power of the Saber of Light,
"I'm not questioning his ability. Everyone in Caledon respects Mi Shan. His devotion is obvious to all. However, according to Caledon's tradition, even the Phoenix Royal Court is not qualified to participate in a military meeting of our level. Discuss. If you want to ask him about the prince's situation, it's better to change the occasion."

Asanil's words were very cryptic, but they were understood by Edgar who presided over the meeting, that is, whether Mishan is qualified to enter the core layer of Caledor's army. There are only more than [-] people in this room, but everyone immediately He has made great military exploits, and his family background is also quite high in Caledon.

As one of only twelve senators of the noble council, Edgar not only needs to consider the impact of this matter on the army, but also the possible changes if Mi Shan is allowed to enter this room.

But he is not a die-hard like old Haranduer after all. Under the puzzled eyes of others, Edgar chuckled, his tone full of self-sarcasm, "The captain of the dragon halberd guard who is the palace guard is a human being. , Damian, who has no position, was sent to the southern Dalinhai, which made many people feel that there is no need to worry about this matter at all, and Iron Wolf has been in charge of the extremely important rune language seal carving for Caledor at Vaal Anvil, shouldn't we think about it? Any idea why this is?"

"Mishan was incorporated into Caledor's nationality six years ago. Although he has never been granted noble status, but with his achievements and abilities, as well as Imrik's attitude, we all know that this is just a matter of timing."

Edgar looked at the Dragon Prince who was sitting at the door, and said, "Violette, go and call Mishan over, and find another chair by the way."

"Yes."

Seeing that the highly respected Edgar said so, the others had nothing to do but shrugged and accepted.Caledon nobles have three hills, the nobles of Tal Kared headed by Randy, the nobles of Vaal Anvil headed by Edgar, the nobles of Tal Windhowl headed by Agthel and Old Harandur , basically every dragon prince can find his belonging here.

It's okay to pick each other up in the aristocratic circle, but now it's a wartime state, questioning the decision of the chief, this is not the behavior that the Dragon Prince is used to.

Mi Shan was quickly invited to this remote conference room, sat next to Bruni, and curiously asked Edgar, who was in the main seat, "What needs the dragon halberd guards to do?"

Of course he understands the importance of this kind of military meeting. Caledon has long had a war council circle with senior dragon princes as the core, responsible for discussing relevant details after the dragon lord issued strategic goals.

However, Mi Shan, the captain of the dragon halberd guard, has never participated in it once, while Bruni, who is theoretically on the same level as him, is a regular visitor.

After all, I'm not an elf, so I definitely can't get into the inner circle. I guess I just want the dragon halberd guards to do something.

But Edgar's remarks surprised Mishan, and the Dragon Prince said bluntly, "I may have made some mistakes in my vote in the noble council before. Regarding whether to grant you an honorary noble status, I remain the same as Ed Teris' father. attitude, but it may be that I am too conservative, I did not expect a human being to pay so much for Caledon."

"You repelled Hagrid Grave's Marus and the Cold One knights led by him in the Battle of the Fenouir Plains, and then you assisted Damian in defeating Scarbrand, the great demon of Khorne, during which you killed There are countless Druccis. Leaving aside the Chaos invasion of the Old World, the feats gained in the Battle of the Fenouire Plains alone are enough to shame everyone present."

"As an apology for a soldier, I will discuss again with President Randy Archibald in the noble council whether to grant you, Damian and Iron Wolf honorary noble status."

"But before that, I need to know a few things."

Mishan was a little surprised. Imrik had held a council of nobles after the Battle of Fennoire Plain, but the result was that those soldiers got it, while he, Damian and Iron Wolf only got a lot of money. Useless honorary titles, and a lot of gold leaf coins as compensation.

He didn't expect Edgar to mention this matter here, and he vaguely understood in his heart that once the noble status was conferred, coupled with the highest level of the military council, he had already been included in the core circle of Caledor's army.

"But I just want to end the war quickly, and then go back to Qingyan Port to get married!!!" Mi Shan roared in his heart, once he was conferred the title of nobleman, he must be busy with a lot of things, whether it is the title or others.

And looking at Imrik's appearance, it seems that he doesn't mind getting a fief for himself, and there is a high probability that it may be in Lustria.

That means that the life that I thought could be peaceful for a few years will undergo great changes.

But looking at Edgar's sincere gaze, he was too embarrassed to refuse, so he could only continue the usual action, scratched his head and said, "Thank you for your understanding, what exactly is it?"
