Chapter 228 The Current and Future Supreme King
"I think it is necessary to contact the Caledor elves, but it is only temporary. It is for the purpose of this war. Apart from some abilities in fighting, these Caledor elves are no different from the goblins in other aspects." Thorgreen noticed. The hint in Uncle Erickson's eyes made him say what he meant.
"This is right. They owe us too much, and they can only repay it with their lives." Gotrek's character is no different from those stubborn longbeards. He stubbornly believes that the elves are the main reason for the weakness of the dwarves.
After determining the nature of the matter, Erickson looked at Agrim again, "Obviously this news is not enough for you to deliver it personally. Tell me, Agrim, what you plan to do."
At this time, Agrim licked his lips. Everyone could see that he was in a state of trembling and excitement. "The mount of the current Prince of Caledor is a Glory Star Dragon. I want to try it and Scala." Who is better, Zach?"
Sklarzak, the powerful dragon entrenched in the mountains at the edge of the northern world, has intercepted the dwarf army many times and is the dream target of all butchers, but even Agrim, the Undertaker of the Karak Kaderin War, knows that Now he has absolutely no way to defeat this powerful opponent. He can only try to find a similar target first.
Erickson's thick eyebrows wrinkled into a knot. He did not doubt the ability of this newly famous mustache, but the Yao Xing Dragon was not like those mediocre dragons killed by the butchers. It was powerful enough to rival the army. Creatures, less than ten Shining Star Dragons were dispatched in the Battle of Revenge, but their terrifying abilities were enough to fill many pages of the Book of Hatred, not to mention that the strength of the Caledor Dragon Lord would never be as high as what he usually encountered. Like pointy ears.
There is already a big gap in terms of strength alone. The High King's current diplomatic strategy is open-ended, and he does not intend to bring up the hatred between the dwarves and Asur. Just when he wants to stop Agrim's idea, He had already interrupted the movement of opening his mouth,
"Of course, this does not mean that I am trying to kill the Glory Star Dragon. Although I am a butcher, I am also a prince. Intensifying the conflict with Pointy Ears is not a good thing. I just want to see the Glory Star Dragon. His performance in battle." Agris shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands. He also knew that it was impossible to do this. It was impossible for Caledor to watch the Star Dragon being killed by a dwarf. Even if it could be done, it would still be impossible. It will also cause the coalition forces of the order race to fight first, and the empire will definitely side with the dwarves. Then, based on Caledor's usual behavior, he will inevitably launch an expedition against the empire and the dwarves by any means.
A reasonably wise reserve king.
Erickson made an evaluation of Agrim in his mind. This idea was considered enlightened in the Kingdom of the Mountains. Obviously his old friend had a fairly reliable heir, but what about himself?
Looking at Gotrek next to him who was still muttering about the hatred of Caledor in the Great Book of Hatred, he sighed helplessly in his heart. If the Mountain Kingdom was left in his hands, it might be really difficult to revive it.
"Are you hiding it from Kazaon, or with his permission?" Erickson asked the final question. Agrim is Kazaon's only descendant. If he secretly followed the Eternal Peak army to Keith Reeve, and died there in battle, maybe the old friend would choose to die to wash away the sin of severing his bloodline.
"Father did not stop me from gathering some people who volunteered to go to Kislev, but he also did not support it." Explaining the situation truthfully, Agrim was obviously very interested in this war. Every butcher king before he succeeded to the throne He has to hunt down a large number of valuable enemies to be convincing. He has already targeted the ancient dragon demons who are unknown in the Chaos Alliance. Presumably those monsters with lightning flowing all over their bodies will be a suitable trophy.
"Okay, that Kazaon guy doesn't seem to be so rigid." The arrogant High King did not say thank you, but just raised his glass and touched Agrim once to show his appreciation for the mustache.
Late at night...
"What do you think about the Caledonians coming here? Tell me truthfully, Thorgrim." The High King in front of the fire was not wearing the dragon crown of Karaz, and asked the bearded man like an elder in the family. Opinion.
There were only two people in the originally noisy reception room, which seemed a bit empty, but Thorgreen knew that his uncle was a little troubled. After all, Caledor had always been an important factor in the difficulty in effectively easing the relationship between dwarves and elves.
"I think this Prince of Caledor is very different from his ancestors. We can try to have more contact with him." Thorgrin put down the information about Imrik and sent Caledor to Agrim. After the news of arriving in the old world came, a piece of intelligence about Imrik collected from the empire was also sent to the High King. It was obvious that the Butcher King was very interested in this Prince of Caledor.
"continue."
"He did not choose to defend the Dragon's Back Mountains, but instead actively attacked Druzi. Although this is in line with Caledo's usual style, I think it is not simple."
"Judging from the fire dragon flag on the dragon ship fleet parked in Marienburg and the information collected by Haimen Pass, Caledor did not have ships of this level before. This fleet may have been the one he used during the war with the Oathbreakers. Part of the harvest means that he is not thinking about fighting and letting everyone lick his heels." Seeing Uncle Erickson's thoughtful look, Solgreen continued to analyze the intelligence Say it.
"And in the past two years, there have been many trading ships belonging to Caledor traveling to and from the Empire, Bordero, Estalia, Tyrell and other places. According to our intelligence network, these ships While selling goods, we will also inquire about the bad land and the Angland clan. Even though it is very secret, we still discovered it. But what their purpose is, I have never guessed, but it is obvious that they intend to return to the old world. Do something."
Thorgrin, who took over part of the intelligence work, was familiar with recent events, but he did not guess why Caledor was so actively seeking information about the Badlands and the Angrond clan. If he wanted to start a war again, then It must also be aimed at Karazha A. Karak, and it is impossible to target an exiled clan.
This problem was soon solved by the Supreme King.
"The Horn of the Silver Dragon of Israma, this is the only thing that will make the Caledonians, who are all confused, so interested in it." Erickson's face was a little rosy under the light of the fire, and he thought of many things. , two Doomsday Anvils lost in the Battle of Revenge, and many treasures symbolizing the honor of the dwarves.
"But wasn't that thing taken away by the greenskins? Why did you inquire about the Angland clan?"
"After Caledor II was beheaded by the ancestor Gotrek Starbreaker, the Silver Dragon Horn of Ysramar was given to the Angrond clan, but due to the rapid invasion of greenskins and Skaven sweeping the mountains , causing the officials responsible for liquidating the loot to miss some information, thinking that the thing had been taken away by the greenskins. I also learned from the Angland clan that the dragon horn was still placed in the ancestral treasury of Eight Peaks Mountain, although it was not I don’t know how that pointy-eared guy got the news, but obviously his target is the Dragon Horn.”
Caledo, Caledo.
This term echoed in Erickson's mind many times. Even if he tried to persuade himself to let go of his prejudice against these arrogant elves, the records in the Book of Great Hatred seemed to be vivid in his mind, but now is not a suitable time to settle hatred. Era, the threat of greenskins and ratmen has been far higher than that of the dragon kingdom in Ulthuan.
"Then you try to contact the current Dragon Prince and test whether he has any idea of recovering the Dragon Horn from Bafeng Mountain. But if he is like his ancestors and his mind is filled with goblin shit, then there is no need to pay attention to it." Ai. There was some helplessness in Rickson's tone. The lost mountain fortress of Eight Peaks Mountain has always been an unforgettable pain for the Mountain Kingdom. It is also the natural moat that prevents Iron Peak Castle from connecting with the compatriots. For thousands of years, the Angland clan It has been overdrafting the Mountain Kingdom's trust in it and spending a lot of resources. Countless dwarves want to help them regain the Eight Peaks Mountain, but to no avail.
Many mountain fortresses have given up on supporting the Angland clan's long-cherished wish to regain their lost territory. Only Eternal Peak and Copper Mountain Fortress are still willing to strongly support the action of regaining Eight Peaks Mountain. However, if this situation continues, it will be difficult to see a glimmer of hope.
As a last resort, it may be necessary to use some external force to make this hope more obvious. The High King does not doubt Caledor's military strength, and the importance of the Dragon Horn to it will also make them take such military adventures, but this What is it to a dwarf, to use the power of an enemy against another enemy?
"Forgive me, ancestors, the current situation of the Mountain Kingdom is no longer as strong as it used to be. Even if humans are willing to help the dwarves, the recovery of the Eight Peaks Mountain is meaningless to them. Only the dwarves would care so much about Valaya's blessing. Earth, even with the power of pointed ears, I have to make this possibility become a reality, and I am willing to bear this sin."
High King Erickson clenched his fists. Along the way, he had deeply seen the stubbornness of his compatriots. Even when the world situation was so tense, he still tried to close the mountain fort and be a coward to avoid reality. The Caledon gang The goblins are more sensible than them, at least they know how to support the Chaos invasion.
