Chapter 1246 Waaagh

"It's ridiculous."

Imrick shook his head with undisguised disappointment. This was not because he was dissatisfied with Averland's unwillingness to sell grain. In fact, there were many ideas to support Kislev. The Southern Kingdom and the Border Prince Territory had a lot of arable land, and the grain produced every year was almost used to feed pigs.

However, there were considerable risks in sea transportation, especially in the Claw Sea, a sea area where Caledor lacked control and the Empire had little intervention. The route could only be maintained by the navy of Erengrad.

Once a full-scale war broke out, Erengrad's maritime lifeline would be cut off, and it would be a game over again. The proposal to buy Averland's grain was actually a test. Originally, they didn't expect to get 15%, and estimated that they would get at most about 5%, as the annual necessary war reserve grain.

Who knew that Leidolf would interfere and ruin the plan that could have been complementary.

The Phoenix King's disappointed voice made Catherine frown and asked carefully: "Your Majesty, are we asking too much of the Empire? Emperor Karl will never agree to 15% of the output."

"If the Empire cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility, the only problem is that it is not pressed hard enough, so that they think there is still room for maneuver."

As the elf who has the most actual contact with the Empire, Imrick clearly knows how much potential humans can burst out. Their population is far larger than that of elves, and their military capabilities are more applicable than those of dwarves. Every year, countless talents... are killed or converted to religion and repent.

But the fucking electoral parliament system is disgusting. This system that gives each territory autonomy can guarantee the lower limit of the Empire's operation, but the upper limit is difficult to guarantee.

Carl can be regarded as a wise man, but he first considers the interests of Rick Territory. As for other electors, they will not believe that the emperor really considers this for the entire Empire.

Unless there is a man like Magnus, who is the chosen one of the two gods, has never married or had children, and devotes all his energy to building the empire, so that the electors are convinced that he is the destined monarch, otherwise... we can only hope that Sigmar will be reborn.

The serious evaluation made Catherine shudder. She was also afraid of the Phoenix King, fearing that Kislev would lose its value in Imrik's eyes and be thrown away like a rag.

Imrik stopped and thought for a while. He thought it was necessary to arrange for Karl and Catherine to meet as soon as possible. It was not a bad game in the venue. They should establish a true friendship and build a wall around the old world.

"Wait, you and I will go to see Karl Franz..."

Just when he was about to explain why he did this, the hurried footsteps quickly interrupted the Phoenix King's words. North walked quickly towards Imrik's position with a paper.

"Your Majesty, there is something you need to review."

Thinking that something urgent had happened in Ulthuan, Imrick took the document without thinking and quickly scanned the meticulously written elven runes.

"A greenskin waaagh? Interesting..."

Uberrick's intelligence personnel explained that a large group of greenskin orcs had gathered in the Grey Mountains.

It seemed that there was no news from Karak Dreadnought, which made the Phoenix King feel a little unbelievable. The short rangers... had similar vision and size to the goblins in the mountains, so there shouldn't be no information leaked.

The first intelligence personnel to discover it were the Asrai Rangers who usually patrolled the Grey Mountains. The forest lord quickly summoned giant eagles to scout around Karak Desolation, and finally sent the collected information to the hands of Uberrick's intelligence personnel.

"Waaaagh in the Grey Mountains..." Imrick thought it was not a problem. The Grey Mountains were too small to form the situation in the Badlands two hundred years ago. Let the Empire and the Dwarves deal with it.

However, North, who took out another document, quickly dispelled the idea.

There was a simple symbol in the middle of the paper. Judging from the somewhat abstract flag, it was an ugly orc head standing in the middle of two bone sticks.

Big Belly King Gulu...

Imrick narrowed his eyes and thought carefully about the greenskins. Since the Evil Land was completely recovered by the dwarves, the only places where the greenskins are active in the Old World are the area south of Dragon's Edge Castle and Mount Oka in Bretonnia.

Greenskins are difficult to eradicate, but they can be kept in a captive place according to their nature. Misty Mountain is the choice of the dwarves. The lords do their best to promote the power of the Misty Mountain warlords in every corner, and fool the greenskins into participating in a bigger waaaagh.

The familiar greenskins did not appear. Skarsnik may have died at the hands of a lucky abyss guard of the Angrund clan. The dancing king may be wandering around the world... Grimgor Ironhide should be a security guard in the Chaos Dwarf factory.

As for Gollum... This guy should be active during the reign of Dieter IV, the emperor who wanted to support the independence of Marienburg at that time.

Is he going to start making trouble?

After thinking for a while, Imrick thought it was necessary to inform Thorgrin and Karl of this information. Anyway, the greenskins could not attack the elves' territory, so let's see how the dwarves and humans toss. If it is really like another world line, let Gollum overturn the entire empire, and the dwarves dare not fight.

The elves will consider another way to fight against Chaos instead of supporting a bunch of trash.

After a while, the emergency meeting requested by Imrick surprised all parties. The Phoenix King strictly abides by the get off work and rest system, speaks briefly, and does not like other people's clichés.

Karl, who was supposed to meet him alone, was also a little confused at this moment. Was Imrick going to be frank and directly explain the elves' needs?

Imrick handed the document to Creon and motioned him to pass it to the captain of the Eternal Guard, Crom, so that the High King could see the contents with his own eyes.

Crom took the document handed over by the elves unhappily. He didn't like close contact with pointed ears. These tall people stretched out their hands as if they were touching the heads of dwarves.

The captain, who thought there was nothing wrong with the document, handed it to the High King.

And Thorgrin was able to read and write elven runes...so his face became more solemn, and his gray beard was as cold as ice as if it had been frosted.

After reading the two documents carefully, the High King asked solemnly: "When did Asrai send out the giant eagle for reconnaissance."

"Five days ago." Imrick stood with his arms crossed, thinking that Thorgrin's next reaction would be very interesting.

Sure enough, after making some judgment, especially on the way from Altdorf to Karak Dreadnought, Thorgrin tightly grasped the tough paper in his hand and gritted his teeth and gave an order.

"Dwarves, there is unfortunate news... Karak Dreadnought may have fallen." (End of this chapter)
