Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Thorgreen waved his hand to signal the guards to disperse first, leaving only one loyal guard standing behind him, looking at Edgar.

He wanted to know whether this pointy-eared man had the courage to let the guard leave during the meeting arranged by the dwarf.

Edgar signaled the guards to leave without any trouble. He was not worried that something would happen. The High King could not be a fool, otherwise he would not have arranged this meeting immediately after knowing that the Angland clan was looking for support in vain.

The door was closed again, and there was still one guard left compared to Thor Green. Edgar seemed more thorough, sitting alone on the right side.

Seeing the irrelevant personnel leaving, Thorgreen nodded slightly to indicate that it was time to start, and answered Edgar's question just now,

"I am not optimistic about their actions, but I must support them."

"The consistent style of the dwarves." Edgar was not surprised by this. The unity of the dwarf countries can be seen from the Battle of Longbeard. Even if it is just a loose political body, the High King must express his views on any move to regain his homeland. support.

He pointed his finger on the table and said another thing, "I don't want to say too much about the idiot brothers of the Angrond clan. Imric obviously has a lot of trust in you, otherwise it would be impossible for me to change my schedule again and again. Even though it bothers me.”

Thorgreen leaned out and pointed with his index finger at the dragon-winged helmet on the long table.

"It is enough that we have common interests. The Kingdom of the Mountains has had many interactions with Caledo. Although most of them were unpleasant experiences, we will not doubt your character and ability."

Edgar narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. Thorgreen's words were interesting, but he had no interest in changing the bilateral relationship. This was something Imrik should consider.

"Ridiculous common interests. From the moment I picked up the lance, I never imagined that one day I would sit at a long table with the dwarves and discuss how to recover the relics of Caledor Dragon Tamer."

"I never expected that the day I walked out of the mine, I would become the Supreme King and talk to the elves about how to regain the homeland of our ancestors."

After a moment of silence, the two of them laughed at themselves. The reincarnation of races is really similar. History will always repeat itself twice, once as a tragedy, and the second time as an even more ridiculous comedy.

Edgar was the first to interrupt this ridiculous self-deprecating session and stated the target of the action,

"Golden Oath City and Bottomless Stone Steps, your answer."

The veteran had already guessed the purpose of the High King's trip. It was not difficult to judge Caledor's action plan. After the Belega brothers received some poor material assistance, the plan to land at Haimen Pass was naturally rejected smoothly.

So far, the Parliament has not sent personnel to survey the Great Netherworld River, so the most obvious policy is to change the strategic depth and reduce the green skin's action space as much as possible.

Thorgreen stroked the long beard on his chest and pretended to think a little. As expected, Edgar would not test too much about the situation in the Mountain Kingdom. Joining or not joining, there were only two situations.

"The Eternal Summit sent personnel to build defenses, but Caledor must return all the Golden Oath City and Bottomless Stone Stairs to the Kingdom of the Mountains."

Edgar looked normal, but his tone was lowered, "This is not a sign of sincerity."

Knowing that the Dragon Prince would answer like this, Thorgreen calmly stated a condition,
"The remains of Caledor II..."

An angry blow dented most of the solid wooden table, and it seemed that the position where the High King was was also shaking a little.

Edgar's eyes were like fire, he stood up and left. He was prepared to end this meeting. Even if the Golden Oath City and the Bottomless Stone Steps were burned to ashes, the dwarves should not get anything.But Thorgreen's second sentence made him calm down a little, and he barely had the idea to continue talking.
"Return immediately."

Edgar suppressed the anger in his heart and understood that Thorgreen was testing his own nature, but if he could sit down quietly after hearing such highly insulting conditions, he would not be a pure Caledonian prince. .

"The Council of Nobles agreed."

Thorgreen felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart. What use could Caledor II's body be to Caledor now.

But the value of honor is infinite. Even though Edgar is not from the Dragon Tamer family, he still has to suppress his anger and welcome his master's body back home.

What a sad fate for the race...

But negotiations are still negotiations, and personal feelings cannot be included. Thorgreen immediately told the story about the Angland clan.

"Domgar is seriously short of manpower, and the Mountain Kingdom is currently unable to provide it with more support. If Caledor wants to obtain more information, it must be understood that except for the Angrond clan, no one will be interested in restoring the Eighth Route Army. Fengshan has so much motivation.”

A metaphorical threat, if the Angland clan is destroyed, the Kingdom of the Mountains will have more reason to abandon the fortress of Eight Peaks Mountain, and then one of Caledor's dual preparations will be completely useless.

Although he didn't like metaphorical words in verbal confrontations, Edgar still knew the secrets involved. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't think dwarves were of any use, but he still held on to the slightest chance of luck. Maybe the Angland clan would Make some use.

Even if there was some luck and escape, the matter was so important that Edgar did not dare to let go of the slightest possibility. At least the Angland clan still had information about the tunnel hub of the Eight Peaks Mountain.

The Dragon Prince crossed his hands and thought about whether to give serious support instead of a little material guarantee.

After thinking about it for a while, thinking of Imric's previous order, he thought that he should still have some hope for the Angrond clan.

"I will dispatch an elite force of a hundred people headed by the Flameborn Knight to coordinate the actions of the Angrond clan, but you should understand the rules."

Thorgreen nodded and said there was no problem. It was nothing more than doubts about whether the two sides could cooperate effectively. The Flameborn Knight would obey some of Domgar's arrangements out of orders, but if there were special circumstances, such as letting the elf take the initiative to die, it would be another matter. Something happened.

What he needs to do is to prevent Domgar from doing stupid things when taking action, so that the first cooperation between the two parties can have a satisfactory start, which will facilitate the recovery of Eight Peaks Mountain and help the situation in the Western Badlands.

Caledor's strength is obvious to all, and the country's atmosphere tends to be militarized. As long as the dwarves are not deliberately provoking them, and under the dual instructions of the palace and parliament, the Flameborn knights will not question their actions too much.

But if Domgar, a stupid young man, thinks that the elves must die, I am afraid that the matter of regaining the Eight Peaks Mountain will have to be resolved by the Eternal Peak to come forward and deal with Caledor.

"Although it would be strange to say this to an elf, I still want to say that I hope the cooperation will be pleasant."

"It's really a strange thing to cooperate with dwarves." Edgar muttered in a low voice. Although the prejudice cannot be eradicated, the mustache is still quite sensible.

Echoing Thor Green,
"I hope the cooperation will be pleasant." (End of chapter)
