Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Drachnir put aside the conflict in his heart, put away the Chamber of Commerce report, picked up his spear and shield, and prepared to continue today's patrol mission.

Although he has become an executive of the Chamber of Commerce, his identity has not changed. As a semi-professional soldier, the town guard has fixed rest time every week.

The town guard named Lonka is no exception in this matter. He can take two days off per week, which is somewhat similar to what his father said about the life of a civil servant.

When Ronka walked into the stronghold, he said hello to the captain and took the initiative to greet him. During this period, he received a lot of care from the veterans and was invited to family dinners many times.

Although Lonka was vague about his parents' situation, he only said that because of some things, he seemed to be ordered to go overseas.

But the captain was very concerned about this and tried to give the young people some warmth as an elder.

Seeing Lonka arrive, the captain nodded. Now everyone is here and it's time to start the mission.

"Today's task is to patrol the port leased by the northern territory of the empire and put the guys away. If these barbarians have a verbal conflict, what they like to do most is to take action. Our task is not to persuade the barbarians to give up the dispute. If the barbarians want to take action, then Pull him to the training ground and do not allow him to interfere with social order."

Draconir nodded in approval. This mission was still so casual. In the nearly two years since he came here, he had only encountered actual conflicts three times that needed to be resolved in a duel at the training ground.

Most of the time, businessmen from various countries who come to Xiaolong Bay are still full of respect for the Dragon Palace, will not cause trouble easily, and are willing to make money peacefully.

A team of 12 people set off from the stronghold in a mighty manner. After years of development, Xiaolong Bay has been completely different from its original appearance of only a few taverns.

The first is the outer port area. In order to calm the dispute, the Business Federation believes that it is best for various countries to lease different ports. For example, the Empire has two large port areas in Chulong Bay, namely the south and the north.

Needless to say, the size of the North is much smaller than that of the South. The only Northern Territory that has been engaged in maritime trade for a long time is the Nord Territory, which is close to the Sea of ​​Claws. The remaining Midden, Oster, and Ostermark are all large in size. Very small and difficult to form a climate.

The Hawke and Tarabek Territories, whose regional divisions are relatively vague, are located in the ports of the Southern Territory. The conflict between the north and the south of the empire began after Sigma. Its origin is both geography and religion.

The geographical religious beliefs of these two territories are relatively unique. The Hawk Territory connects the north and the south and is highly religiously tolerant. Most of the gods worshiped by the empire can be seen in it.

Tarabek, located in the center of the empire, does not apply the geographical division method of north and south. Its religious beliefs are also based on Taal, which can be regarded as a buffer point between the conflicts between the north and the south.

As for the area on the island, it is not divided according to national power. Instead, the market is unified according to the items operated by each chamber of commerce. Wine merchants, carpenters, fur traders, salt industry, jewelry, spices, sugar... are located in three areas respectively. Within an island, those in need can naturally take a short-distance transfer boat to reach where they want to go.

Each chamber of commerce has its own products that it specializes in. For example, the Cabernet Sauvignon Chamber of Commerce, which monopolizes 60.00% of Caledo's wines, monopolizes the hegemony of the Chulong Bay wine industry and makes unimaginable profits from it every year.

The aristocrats of the old world who longed for face and vanity all hoped to fill the non-existent blank space through noble and elegant Assur wine.

What is worth mentioning is the metal processing industry. There is no doubt that this industry is completely monopolized by Caledo. There is an endless flow of people in front of the offices of the Val Church. People from all over the world are eager to obtain a magical weapon.

From steel plates to iron ingots, from the highest-end golden halberd to the lowest-grade iron nails, Caledor can provide it as long as there is demand.

But the prerequisite is that you must have the qualifications to purchase.

Longka skillfully bought twelve cold drinks from a roadside stall, and replied with a smile to the female boss who was smiling and her eyes seemed to be shining brightly. The town guard hurriedly left in a hurry. I don’t know who spread the news that there is a very handsome young man in the town guard. He has a kind and sincere personality and outstanding abilities. He is deeply appreciated by His Excellency Morika.

This situation made Lonka very embarrassed. More than once, he found an Asur girl watching secretly while patrolling.

Occasionally, when I go out for a casual meal, when the waiter serves the meal, he will also include a warm letter and a statement of payment.

The captain took the paper cup and said thank you to Lonka, saying that he would be the one to treat next time.

Then I habitually opened the lid and found something was wrong.

He was full of smiles and teased Lonka who was distributing cold drinks.
"When did Virginia become conscientious? There is actually orange flesh in the orange juice cold drink. This is the first time I have seen it in all the years I have been in Xiaolong Bay."

The guard next to him said casually, "Perhaps someone allowed us to get some special care. In the past, when we walked in front of Virginia's stall, we would have been called poor."

Ronka smiled, feeling that the orange juice in his hand suddenly became no longer sweet. Although Virginia looked very handsome, she was already a widow. Her husband had long since died on the battlefield. She came to Xiaolong Bay with her daughter to run a cold drink shop. .

The blood descendants of the Caledor family have no interest in widows, let alone that they already have a sweetheart.

"Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding. Maybe I look more like Virginia's late husband and he takes more care of me."

The captain sneered, "What the hell is her husband like? Can I not know? She just covets your appearance. Speaking of which, you have to be careful. There has been news about some Slaanesh followers in Ulthuan recently, who specialize in taming young men as slaves." Slave, you are what they like best.”

Lonka still nodded awkwardly. If the Slaanesh elements in Ulthuan could capture Prince Caledor, Mishan and Iron Wolf, who had been secretly protecting him, might be deprived of their status as palace nobles that day.

Even if the great demon Slaanesh were present, he might not be able to match the strength of these two human warriors.

The captain thought about drinking the cold drink that quenched his thirst, crumpled the paper cup into a ball, and threw it into the trash can on the street. Years of military service had become a habit that even among old-fashioned town guards could hardly change.

He glanced at Longka and suddenly said another sentence:

"Looking at your age, you have not found a partner. If you have this idea, I have some daughters of old comrades who are a good match for you. They are designated to give birth to a few warriors and contribute to the palace's conquest of the world. "

Ronka squirted out a mouthful of orange juice, quickly took out a tissue and wiped the faces of his teammates next to him, and explained to the captain in a panic,

"I, I don't have this idea yet. Young people should always look around and hone their mental abilities before considering starting a family. You see, His Royal Highness the Dragon Prince was nearly 250 years old when he got married. We should use this as an example and advocate maturity. A complete marriage.”

The captain gave Lonka's helmet a loud slap, laughed and cursed,

"You are quite reasonable. Who can give you the same confidence as His Highness the Prince? As a king, His Highness naturally has to sacrifice his personal time to be busy with state affairs. Our duty is to be loyal to the palace and to Caledor."

The captain, who was not good at reasoning, simply expressed his thoughts directly and patted Lonka's helmet again.
"If you are allowed to have more children, you will have more children. They will all be raised by the palace, so what are you worried about? Could it be that the teachers sent by the palace don't understand education better than us soldiers?" (End of Chapter)
