Chapter 850 The Prince and the Grand Prince

While they were joking, the army that had stayed in the Border Prince's Territory for a while was preparing to return to Sartosa under the watchful eyes of the human lord's fearful reconnaissance team.

But during this time, Imrik encountered something very strange...

Alfred Douglas, the Grand Prince of the Western Border, was a powerful aristocrat with a territory of more than 100,000 people. He had thousands of elite soldiers under his command and made his fortune from a marble mine.

Rumor has it that they have some unclear relationship with the Marienburg Merchant Council, and their main political method is to exploit loopholes in the empire's laws.

Extradit merchants who violate the law to the Border Prince Territory and provide them with political asylum as a prince. After changing their appearance, they can return to the empire and continue doing business as a good Border Prince citizen.

People who started out in the mining industry often have dirty hands.

Alfred Douglas, who aggressively invited Imric to the castle, changed his tough attitude in the territory after looking at the more stern high elves. Only one of his eyes showed joy, full of joy. The compliment invites the Dragon Prince to sit on the throne.

But Imrik, standing in the center of this simple palace, just crossed his arms and shook his head, saying no,

"Prince Douglas, your title is much louder than mine. As an outsider, am I qualified to ascend to the throne?

From the moment we entered the Border Prince Territory, my scouts noticed people with the red eagle logo following them. This may be a kind reminder from Prince Douglas, who has the final say in the area south of the Gray Mountains. "

The unkind words made Douglas, who had a ferocious face, feel awkward. If he had some doubts about the combat effectiveness of the elven army before, he thought it was just a matter of strong naval warfare capabilities and the forceful capture of Sartosa.

But after the intelligence officers vividly told the beastman's tragic experience, this idea naturally changed.

The Grand Prince smiled a little apologetically, and was not afraid to belittle his noble title. His body wrapped in the Marienburg velvet robe emitted an unpleasant scent of perfume as he walked quickly.

As the Elf Prince frowned, his body, which was already half a head lower than Imrik, now lowered his head even further.

"You are joking. I am just a nouveau riche. In order to comply with the rules of the Border Princely Territory, I gave myself the title of Grand Prince. Compared with your nobility, it is nothing more than a cloud of mud.

Today I invite His Highness the Dragon Prince, firstly to explain the previous reconnaissance team, secondly to show my gratitude to the landlord, and thirdly to seek help from you. "

"There is no need to say more about the first two. I am very pressed for time and have no time to listen to your nonsense. Put your request forward and Caledo will consider it as appropriate."

Douglas didn't think about it. He heard the intelligence revealed by Marienburg. To deal with this elf prince, speaking directly was the fastest way to solve the problem. If some tricks were played, the final result would probably be unacceptable to the person involved.

“I heard that you signed multiple cooperation treaties with Kislev at the end of the Great Holy War, and that you expanded cooperation projects after the Patriotic Army defeated the evil czarina. Even in the remote border princely territories, you are admired by many.

I wonder if the Principality of Douglas will be lucky enough to establish a cooperative relationship with Caledor, such as the Dragon Palace hiring my soldiers to fight deep into the badlands? "

Do you really dare to think... The first batch of Patriot soldiers who participated in the great holy war, one can defeat five of you, and kill them without even taking a breath.

As for the quality of soldiers in the Border Prince's territory, it can only be said that they do not even meet Caledor's minimum standards.

The army is composed of a group of political prisoners, bandits, thieves, and criminals. It prides itself on selling loyalty, and only regards gold coins and profits as its life creed. I am afraid that only Malekith would appreciate it.

But this was also in line with something he had discussed with Assanil before. Imrik did not express his attitude immediately, but looked at the nervous guards around the simple palace with interest.

"I heard that the soldiers of the Douglas Territory have a fighting style very similar to that of the Empire's West Territory. They are particularly good at gaining an advantage with firepower, and then sending heavy infantry to close the formation.

I wonder if Emperor Magnus knows about this. "

"What do you mean?" Douglas' originally humble face became a little cruel at this moment. His ability to build a city with a population of tens of thousands in the Border Prince Territory was the result of Westland's unremitting efforts.

Perhaps Imrik's support would help a lot, but the former bandit leader knew who was the biggest financial backer.

A sword that was the size of an adult was suddenly placed on Douglas's shoulder at a speed that he could not see clearly. The blade of the sword flashing with magical light was only a hair away from the aorta.

The armor is far larger than the normal size, and a dull echo comes from under the dragon-shaped helmet, reminding the human monkey next to the sword's edge.

"Watch your words and attitude, answer Prince Imrik's question, and wait for His Highness to indicate when you can speak freely before continuing with your ridiculous language."

Imrik, who was supposed to make a fool of himself, did not stop Occestes' actions. He still kept his arms crossed and waited in amusement for the response of the human prince.

The idea of ​​putting bread in two baskets is good, but it seems that he does not understand its own value.

As the sword edge got closer, Douglas's gaze became more and more fierce. The elf only brought more than a hundred people into the city, but he had thousands of fully armed soldiers in his hands.

With just one thought, the arrogant elf prince can be captured and a steady stream of supplies can be provided to the territory.

The sword edge cut a bloody mark on the human's neck, and the stinging meaning made Douglas' one-eyed expression change, and he said coldly,

"Do it!"

The sound of crossbows and muskets, like raindrops, appeared from the corner of the palace following the orders of the great prince. Perhaps some of them came from the Caledor arsenal, but at this moment they were used by humans to deal with the prince of elves.

As for Douglas, whose life was in danger, under Imric's playful eyes, the ring on the ring finger of his left hand emitted a gray light, and a twilight that should be shadow magic shrouded the prince's figure, and he was lost in the palace. trace.

"Ridiculous move..."

Occestes, who had not received the order from his master, gave up his sword and beheaded this malicious human monkey. He raised his shield and activated the powerful magic on it. A red wall of twenty square meters stood in front of him, and he was about to attack. The arrows and projectiles were completely blocked.

As for the other side, Ocasitas is not worried, someone will take care of it.

Mi Shan, who was accompanying him, saw this situation and could only activate the magic talisman on his body.

Although the prince is not afraid of these powerless long-range projection weapons, the duty of the guards is not to let the prince solve the problem.

The accompanying dragon halberd guards took action when they saw the two mountains. After dodging the first round of firepower, they quickly ran towards the shooting position at a speed that was not consistent with their solemn posture.

These human monkeys must understand the price of assassinating Prince Caledor. (End of chapter)
