Chapter 1152: The Charm of Nordland
Facts proved that Imric could not change into the chain mail used by his grandfather in Bretonnia. He only took a few glances and completely lost his curiosity about the equipment of his grandfather.
Just like the tone of this country, without the help of the Lady of the Lake, there is almost nothing worthy of praise except for the moral level... which only refers to the personal morality.
The Phoenix King ordered all the seized items to be thrown into the furnace. Although the level of craftsmanship varied greatly, iron ingots were iron ingots. Rather than wasting space as a display, it was more practical to recycle waste.
The Black Ark, which has been raging in Bretonnia for a long time, followed the Phoenix King to the imperial waters.
When West led the sea-taming team to discover the scarlet Kraken flag of the God Bless the Evil Party, they all fell into fear.
Strictly speaking, the strength of the Imperial Navy is not even comparable to that of Bretonnia. Apart from some control over the Sea of Claws, it has almost no record of success.
This is understandable. After all, among the electors, only Oster, Nord and West are close to the sea. The first two are located in the north. They are exhausted in dealing with the invasion of Norse barbarians and have no energy to develop a redundant navy.
Businessmen have the softest bones. If they can solve problems with gold, they will never choose to use force.
Even with the support of the Mannann Church, the naval power of the Westland is still difficult to rank in the world. In addition to protecting normal commercial flows, it is almost impossible to fight against the dragon boat fleet of Norsca in the north.
Therefore, when the God Bless the Evil Party greeted the Westland, the merchant lords who mistakenly thought that Lord Kraken had shifted his attention from Bretonnia to the Empire did not hesitate to bring warehouses full of gold and treasures, and spoke politely and modestly. attitude, informing the establishment of good trade relations with the Phoenix Royal Court.
The businessman, who was as humble as a dog, had both of his arms broken by Lockia. He thought the offer was too little, and then dedicated all his gold to the Phoenix King.
For such a loyal Druzi, Imric could only accept everything and left nothing for West.
Gold is hard currency everywhere, and even greenskins who lack normal social common sense like these shiny things.
The family has a lot of expenses, so if you don’t take it, you won’t get it for free.
Nordland is an elector territory that even the empire can call weird. From a geographical point of view, there is no doubt that this place belongs to the north. It should follow Ulric's teachings and learn the way of a warrior.
But they were not the common Teutons in the north of the empire. This led to the Nords being in a very embarrassing situation before the empire was established. They were bullied by the Teutons in the south and the Norscans in the north.
In order to cope with this kind of crisis, the pressure of life has caused the Nords to become extremely brutal and stubborn. They devoutly believe in Ulric and believe that lying and retreat are cowardly actions. As long as there is a chance of victory, they will never leave. One step on the battlefield.
Due to their mixed blood with the Norscans, the Nords have many similar customs to their northern neighbors. The fate of a sinner is determined by law through duels, and sins are washed away with blood.
So when Imric disembarked from Sessenmund, he saw a large group of Nordic soldiers wearing animal skin cloaks and louder than dwarves, shouting rudely about attacking the Norscans. For a moment, it was unclear whether this was in Norsca or in the empire.
The invasion of Chaos had already begun, which prevented the Elector from preparing for the arrival of the Phoenix King. He was busy leading the Nordland Marines to resist the dragon boats heading south, and only ordered his daughter and attendants to welcome the distinguished guests from afar.
The lady of the Elector family, who was dignified and beautiful, but had a frame that was no less than that of a warrior, used a respectful tone, bent her knees and raised her skirt to give a court salute to the Phoenix King.
"Your Majesty the Phoenix King, I am Evelina Gowther. I am here to welcome you on the orders of my father, the Elector Elliot..."
Miss Elector secretly looked at the Phoenix King. It was rumored that his majesty was as handsome as he was brave. It was indeed true when he saw him today.
Many elves I saw in the empire could not match the cold and abnormal face of a pure dragon tamer. The arrogance flowing in the aura made all the humans around him feel afraid.
"So, one of the reasons why I hate the empire is that I always like to find irrelevant people to welcome." Imrik complained in Elvish. Judging from her identity, this noble lady should be considered a suitable candidate to welcome her. .
But I'm here to support the Chaos invasion, not to have a party in Nordland. You showed up at the port wearing a flashy and exquisite palace dress. What are you going to do? Are you discussing how to get a half-elf tonight?
What I want is the current situation of the Chaos invasion, not false greetings between nobles.
Not knowing what the Phoenix King said, Evelina could only keep a polite smile and wait for His Majesty's orders, but she didn't expect that Imric would directly silence her with a single word.
"Okay, you can go."
Evelina's smile froze for a moment. She recalled the fluent Imperial dialect she had just learned and couldn't believe the general inquiry.
"what do you mean?"
"You can go back to the castle and continue to be a quiet noble lady." Imrik waved his hand and told the Nord Elector lady to get out. I don't have time to pay attention to your nonsense.
"Let the local White Wolf Knight Captain come to see me, preferably with a few Ulric priests. I need to know the details of the Chaos invasion."
Evelina wanted to persuade her, but the Flameborn Knight roughly pushed away the elector's welcoming team.
The meaning of being a local snake is that it has room for counterattack, but when facing a real dragon, such counterattack will only lead to ridicule.
It will take some time for the White Wolf Knight and Priest Yurik to arrive, but the thousands of elves who came to the empire must find a place to stay.
There is naturally space for the elves to live in Sessenmond, but there is a very strange smell in the northern city. Many facilities in this city built a thousand years ago still use old objects.
For example, the blocked sewer system...
Coupled with the influx of a large number of people caused by the invasion of Chaos, the city is stinking, which makes Imrick have to cover his nose to walk. Even if the unpleasant smell is purified by magic, it seems that it can still be smelled vaguely.
In order to take care of the emotions of his subordinates, especially the arrogant Flame Knights, who don’t want to live with humans at all, the Phoenix King is also very single.
The function of the city wall is defense, but if I stand still, they dare not hit me, wouldn’t the city wall be built in vain.
Thousands of elite soldiers directly choose to station in the wild, and join forces with dozens of dragons to forcibly create an unstoppable appearance.
Tall trees fell under the experienced axes of the White Lion Guards, turning into building materials waiting to be used. (End of this chapter)
