Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

"Welcome, what do you need, Lord Bruni?"

In a tavern that uses a tent as a shop, the owner politely greets the Dragon Prince who has just entered. There are countless such simple entertainment facilities around Golden Oath City.

Soldiers who have finished their rotation don't mind squandering gold coins here, using intoxicating alcohol to numb their exhausted brains. The short-term dreaminess is enough to approach the luster of gods.

"The same old thing, a pot of Alpine brandy, some lemon and mint leaves, and a beef shank."

The owner of the tavern looked embarrassed and asked in a negotiating tone, "The lemons are gone. Can I use licorice instead?"

The Dragon Prince waved his hand to express his casualness. Most of these Asurs who ran shops wanted to make a war fortune. They came all the way from Ulthuan and wanted to take advantage of the chaos.

But he never thought that when he entered the bad land, he would be forcibly recruited.

Because the number of people is so small, it is also difficult for Masnuo to arrange important projects such as food and material circulation. These outsiders must not be responsible for them.

As a result, legalized shops were established one after another. When relying on military supplies, they gave the wizard some insignificant gold leaf coins, and they finally achieved their original wish - to make a windfall.

The military camp has an abundant supply of supplies, but if items are not on the purchase list, they can often be sold for more than ten times the price in the badlands.

The price of the imperial brandy Bruni ordered was comparable to the expensive Lothern wine.

As a tavern frequented by senior military officers, the facilities here are very neat, with more than ten round tables placed around the central counter.

The sensible boss also specially obtained a batch of soundproofing devices to provide each guest with a private environment in the narrow space.

Waiting for Bruni was Masnot who had finished his day's work. The champion warrior sat alone in the corner, savoring the poor wine from his hometown.

Bruni, who brought a pot of brandy and beef to the table, was very impressive. As soon as he sat down, he talked about what happened some time ago.

"Do you know what Belegar said?"

Masino raised his eyebrows, reached out his hand unceremoniously and took away a few pieces of beef, then put them in front of his mouth and responded perfunctorily,

"What did you say, and you are going to use the items from the ancestors' treasury as collateral?"

"No, he said that as long as the Eight Peaks Mountain is recovered and we provide personnel to assist in the defense, the hatred between the Angland clan and Caledor will be wiped out."

Masnot was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, "It's really hard for this mustache to say such bold words. Fortunately, I caught him in the cursed city, otherwise the Angland clan would have to add new ones. of hatred.”

The two chatted jokingly for a long time, with a tacit understanding not to mention the matter of Ulthuan. No matter how eager they were, they still forcibly resisted speculation about the bad fate to prevent their mentality from being affected.

Stopping his mocking of Belegar, Bruni said seriously,

"What do you think about the Lizardmen Legion?"

Masno rubbed his brows. He must be very troubled by this whimsical idea. It is difficult for Lustria's current energy reserves of the giant spiritual network to send a legendary army to the bad land.

The Sun Legion, which is ready to support Tehenhoin at any time, holds the giant spiritual network of the Southland that has not been used for thousands of years. Assuming that it is transported by ship, it is expected to take at least four months.

"No, the complete lizardman army will definitely not be able to teleport, but we can also look for some specialized troops in the swamp areas. The two ancient salamanders and the divine blessing dragon army should be able to solve the problem of the Morukan ruins." Ancient Fire Lizards The Lizard, a deadly beast that lives in the swamps and estuaries of Lustria.

Compared to the respected Triceratops and the awe-inspiring Tyrannosaurus among the lizardmen, the reputation of the ancient salamanders is as bad as their nature. Most of the tame skinks died at the mouths of the creatures that fed them.

But the destructive power of these beastmen on the battlefield is more than worth the risk of attacking friendly forces.

The highly corrosive acid it spits is highly volatile in the air, turning into a burning pillar of fire that descends on the enemy's head. It is often used as biological artillery.

Bruni rubbed his wine glass with his palms. Although it was not up to him to decide this matter, he still thought it was necessary to remind his old friend.

"We've spent too long in the Badlands serving the dwarves."

"Well, I know, so I'm going to change my mind." Masnuo nodded in agreement and expressed his thoughts, "There are too many unknown secrets in the Morukan ruins, and there are already giant-horned bulls on the outermost edge. There are traces of activities, and if we continue to deepen, I'm afraid it will delay our action."

"give up?"

"This is contrary to the previous agreement." Masno regretted the promise he made with Thorgreen. Caledor promised that the badlands would be completely controlled by the dwarves, but the dwarves must also obey Caledor's arrangements in their actions. .

At that time, it was a promise made to solve the problem that the Eternal Peak army always found, but now it has become a stumbling block. Thorgreen is busy with the reinforcement work of regaining the city. He can't say that he has no interest in marching eastward into the mountains. It can only be said that it is in the future. Can be expected.

"Since the rivers in the ruins of Morukan often flood in the spring, I think it is necessary to let the navy perform professional tasks. Assanil should not mind the Marine Corps gaining a share of combat glory."

The vague words made Bruni narrow his eyes. The Marine Corps is a group of despised fourth-class people. As a land combat force that does not even have cavalry, they spend most of their time wiping the Army's butt and taking care of the aftermath of the battlefield.

There is no Marine Corps number in the army controlled by Masno, and out of overall considerations, Assanil should not mind letting a group of fourth-class people enter the ruins of Morukan to fulfill their promise with the High King, so as to let The large army went straight to Bafeng Mountain.

He gave his old friend a thumbs up and sincerely praised the skill of the trick. The promises were linked one within the other. Caledor promised to deliver the Badlands to the dwarves, but the High King also promised to lead his troops to conquer the Eight Peaks Mountain. .

The Marine Corps is working hard, and the Eternal Peak army can't always worry about jumping over the railway, right?

"Brilliant move, then I will humbly recommend myself once. As a vanguard officer, I will lead the army straight to the Gate of Titan. This will surely make my long-cherished wish come true."

Unexpectedly, Masnow just shook his head and rejected his old friend's proposal, "No, I need an important person to lead the Marine Corps into the ruins of Morukan to shut up Thor Green.

Mustache is well aware of the relationship between us, and if anyone else comes forward, they will definitely be questioned. "

Mustache was the nickname given to Thorgrin by Imrik during the Great Holy War, and it was widely circulated among the high-ranking officials.

And since the High King had participated in the Great Holy War, he also knew who was in Imrik's core team.

Bruni wondered, not denying this statement, but the temptation of the Vanguard is very huge. Whoever can rush into the Titan Gate first means picking up the glory that Caledor scattered in ancient times.

"Let Davian come?"

"He is busy with the election of the Phoenix King. I'm afraid he won't have time to come to the bad land in a short time. This important task will be left to you." (End of Chapter)
