Chapter 204 The Situation Between the Empire and Kislev

"Your Highness, Prince Caledoron, I feel extremely honored to be able to meet you. Please accept the blessings of this humble person like me."

The moment he saw Imric, Bancroft immediately bowed and saluted. His status in the West was not low, otherwise he would not have been entrusted with important tasks by the merchant lord. The identities of elves are so different from each other.

"Rise up, you are the Bancroft that Alagil said he was."

"Yes, this is the document given to me by His Excellency Alagir. Please take a look at it." Bancroft took out the document from his arms, but did not stand up immediately. Instead, he bent down and held the document at the same level as his head, waiting. Ask someone to take this thing away.

But the expected document being pulled out did not appear. Instead, a cold voice came from beside him, "Your Highness asked you to get up and do not make any unnecessary movements."

Seeing this situation, Imric waved his hand towards Masnow, indicating that he should go to the other side and not interfere with normal communication. The nobleman of Marienburg kept his posture very low, and it seemed that he had treated Kaler in advance. I have done a lot to learn more.

Bancroft raised his head hesitantly and found that the Dragon Prince was looking at him. Then he pointed to the chair next to him and motioned to sit down.

Taking the alcoholic drink from the servant with fear, Bancroft felt a little flattered. Seeing the Dragon Prince for the first time made him think that he had returned to the empire. He did not care too much about the so-called racial superiority, but instead gave himself a suitable posture.

Taking the document from the servant's hand, Imric flipped through it casually. In fact, he had seen this thing a long time ago. He did not return to Caledor immediately after the banquet. He was also waiting for news from the old world. Marienburg has the closest communication with Ulthuan. It is the most reasonable situation for them to request support. He said,

"Bancroft, how many kingdoms did you contact before you met me?"

These words made the merchant noble look a little nervous. He thought that the Dragon Prince was asking if he looked down on Caledor. As the strongest kingdom in Ulthuan, he was the last one to request a meeting.

"His Royal Highness the Dragon Prince, I visited the entire Phoenix King's Court, but you are the only one willing to meet me." Bancroft's flowers were very euphemistic, and he did not dare to say that he finally found Caledo.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, he looked at the very nervous Imperial man sitting on the chair. Imric knew that he had obviously misunderstood what he meant, but he didn't want to explain, so he said,

"What does the Human Empire want to get from Caledor? If they just want to find some mercenaries, there are many pirates in Etain and Cosqui who are willing to work for money. Looking at Caledor and Marienburg in the past two years, Since business and trade are going well, I can find a channel for you."

This is a temptation. You must go to the Great Holy War, but you must also receive some benefits, otherwise your work will be in vain.

The dragon and the dragon prince! At that time, Bancroft wanted to say these two terms, but he held back because of his many years of experience. If he said it, he would not be hacked to death on the spot, but he would probably be thrown out.

"Your Highness, an unprecedented coalition of Chaos is invading the Empire and Kislev. The world needs Caledor to save it, just like His Highness the Dragon Tamer saved the world thousands of years ago."

Imric did not immediately respond to his words. He raised his glass and took a sip, and then said, "It seems that you know a lot about the history of elves, so you should know that Caledor has not set foot in the old world for a long time. Land, you know why?”

This was a question. Cold sweat broke out on Bancroft's back. He had studied the history of elves, so he naturally knew the answer to this question, which was the Battle of Longbeard. He didn't know why Imrik mentioned this. The question is, don’t you want to see the dwarves? Or is he planning to obtain information about the dwarves from the empire and organize an expedition across the vast ocean for revenge?

No matter what he was thinking, he couldn't say it out loud. He could only pretend to be stupid and throw the question to Imrik, saying in a sincere tone, "Your Highness, please clear up my doubts."

Imrik looked at the aristocratic businessman who was pretending to be stupid while holding the wine glass, and understood that he did not dare to answer this question, so he simply talked about other things, "What is the situation of the human empire, is it still being invaded by those chaotic barbarians?"

Although he didn't know why the Dragon Prince took the initiative to interrupt the proposition, Bancroft still breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "The north of the empire is being invaded by those barbarians, and due to some political issues, it is impossible to organize effectively. Raise an army to resist these followers of Chaos."

Is it the impact of the War of Three Emperors and the Vampire War? Imric quickly understood the so-called political issues, but the person he wanted to know most did not explain it, and that was Magnus the Pious, who was the master of the revival of the empire. , I don’t know much about the Great Holy War. This matter is often mentioned as a chronological background, with the twelfth Eternal God Chosen as a stepping stone, confirming the greatness of Magnus.

But Magnus, the greatest emperor after Sigmar, seemed to have not yet come forward, or perhaps the news from the Marienburg man in front of him was lagging behind, and he did not get first-hand news.

After all, the mages in the empire are still in a free-range state. They are wild warlocks. Once discovered, they will be captured by the church. They have no ability to transmit information across the sea like elves.

After roughly thinking about it, I turned to Kislev.

"What became of that kingdom ruled by witches?"

Bancroft was a little confused by the words of the Dragon Prince, but after thinking for a moment, it became immediately clear that there are two main ethnic groups in Kislev - Gospodar and Ugor. The former migrated there from the boundless steppe. A piece of land covered with ice and snow.

Gospodar is different from the neighboring Huns and Kurgans. They do not believe in the evil god. Instead, they choose to fight against the evil god and continue to believe in the bear god Esun. However, the power of the bear god cannot guarantee that Gospodar can survive in the boundless grassland. After hearing the whispers of the god named "Earth", an ice shaman named Lidrosang chose to lead the people to move westward and arrived at the place now called Kislev. Gospodar conquered Ugor and established the Ice and Snow Kingdom.

The ice shaman named Li Zhuosang was also revered as the Queen of Khans. Subsequent female rulers would also receive this title as a symbol of their dominance. In essence, these Queens of Khans were indeed It's a witch.

"Your Highness, Kislev is now ruled by Tsar Alex Romanov. They are trying their best to resist the invasion of Chaos with the blessing of the bear god Esun. Plagg still stands in the ice, but I'm afraid It won’t last long.”

"It doesn't matter. My biggest impression of them is that the vodka tastes okay. Other than that, there is nothing worthy of praise."

The Dragon Prince likes to drink vodka. Bancroft silently recorded this information in his mind. Maybe he would use it at some point. Just when he wanted to continue to echo, Imric interrupted his train of thought.

"No need to talk nonsense. I will personally lead the expedition to Kislev. The best fate for the remnants of Chaos is to become a corpse."

An expression of surprise appeared on Bancroft's face. He did not expect to obtain the support of the most powerful kingdom in Ulthuan so easily. If he had known this, he would not have to spend so much energy and financial resources to visit other kingdoms. He stood immediately Stand up and bend down to say thank you,

"Thank you for your understanding. The old world needs the support of the noble Dragon Prince. If you are willing to go out in person, we will do our best to provide a thank you gift to express our gratitude to Caledor."

This guy was quite sensible and didn't let himself take the initiative to mention such a thing. The Dragon Prince thought to himself, and then said, "I will dispatch an army from the kingdom to Lothern. You'd better prepare for the next thing immediately. "

"Of course, it's an honor."
