Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 1051 Bait

Malekith, who turned into a bait, attracted the attention of all the forces. Some people called him a madman, thinking that relying on Asuryan's blessing could ignore the huge gap in military power, and delusional that the power of the gods could help Druchi reverse the situation. .

Some people also believe that the Witch King chose a last ditch effort. After abandoning the city of Naggaroth, Druchi no longer has the potential to continue the bloody battle with Asul for thousands of years. If this opportunity is lost, it will no longer be possible to aspire to the throne in the future.

Derogatory or complimentary comments are all side descriptions of Malekith's psychology, but it is undeniable that the Witch King is by no means a timid person. He has extremely high self-confidence and pride in himself. These paranoid thoughts are officially The foundation for surviving for thousands of years.

At the Dragon Legion, the intelligence officer informed the monarch of the location of the Witch King, which caused some confusion and ridicule among the senior generals. They all believed that the Witch King was provoking and wanted to reverse the predicament by seducing and beheading him.

But as long as Caledo fights steadily and gradually advances to the north, the fruits of victory will definitely belong to the destined Phoenix King.

Masnow was the first to suggest that the steady champion warriors did not want to participate in an inevitable melee. Even though Caledo could fight Drucci, Kane's followers and the Chaos Demon Army at the same time, they should focus on the key targets.

"As long as we wait for the Legion to gradually regain the lost territory of Nagaryth, Druchi's chances of winning will become smaller and smaller. The Witch King's move is to hold a championship showdown..."

"Your Highness will not lose, but we don't need to take such risks. Even if he has the power of Asuryan to protect him, he will only end up dead after losing most of his troops."

The champion warrior's analysis won the approval of the vast majority of people. When fighting Druchi, there is no need to mention duel honors. If you can spray him with dragon's breath, you will never stab his throat with a long sword. The ballistae is nothing more than a long-range lance. From the results It all looks the same.

"I agree. Malekith's defeat is already doomed. This move is just the last struggle before death. Caledor will crush this expectation step by step, allowing the Witch King to experience the taste of revenge."

"Reconsideration."

The temporary high-level military meeting consisted of a total of twelve people except the dragon lord. Eight of them agreed to proceed gradually. Two proposed that Assanil lead a fleet to destroy the Witch King's location into rubble. The remaining two thought of calling for help. The dragon fleet directly rides on the face.

Anyway, Malekith was not given a fair fighting chance.

No matter how impassioned the generals analyze the situation, the person who really has the power to make the decision is still the dragon lord, the prince at the top of the military order, who is able to ignore most voices and enforce orders.

But this time, it was difficult for Imrik to deny the reasonable ideas of many high-level generals.

"No, we need to get involved in this melee."

Puzzled question marks, this was the main idea at the venue. From a perceptual point of view, everyone wanted to kill Malekith and put an end to thousands of years of hatred.

Can……

Is it necessary to take risks? Malekith's direct army has almost no losses. Lord Annihilation, Lord Black Tower of Nagarond, Phoenix Guard, Shadow, Beast Legion... Even if the Dragon Legion encounters them by force, A tough nut to crack.

Ignoring everyone's reaction, Imrik began to call names, kings against kings, generals against generals. This was not only a military war, but also a game between divine power and royal power.

He needed to make the elven gods understand that from now on, mortals would no longer be puppets.

"Edgar, you are responsible for commanding the army and fighting against any hostile forces."

"Masnow, Davian, Bruni... call Assanil and Edtelis back, they can't miss this war."

"Where's Agthel?"

"Oh, maybe he also wants to continue the last battle with Kuran Blackhand where there was no winner."

After naming a series of key combat strengths, Imrik pondered for a while, "Masnow, you need to always pay attention to Tyrion's movements. I cannot accept Kane's rash participation in the battle between Malekith and me."

Masnot nodded to express his understanding. He could see the prince's inner thoughts. His Highness wanted to use Malekith's attempt to make a comeback to completely crush his ambitions.

Although it does not conform to normal judgment, it conforms to the psychological needs accumulated over thousands of years.

Considering that there is still someone who can affect the situation of the war, the champion warrior believes that it cannot be easily wasted.

"Abrash, maybe we can use his power to create some trouble for Druchi."

"Let him move freely, as long as he doesn't cause us any trouble, I will remember the help the Blood Dragon Ancestor gave Caledor."

"Hmm...maybe Mishan and others."

"Let them deal with the Bride of Khorne, I'm sure Valkia will like the surprise."

After feeling that there was nothing to say, Masnoon took the lead, stepped back and handed over the communication rights to others, and began to ponder about Tyrion in his heart.

If he were to fight against Tyrion, who was holding Kane's Holy Sword, he would have a slight chance of winning.

Seeing the important ministers, Imric no longer had any doubts. He looked around at everyone and asked,

"Do you have any other questions."

Mr. Edgar had something to say. He had no objection to Imric taking on Malekith's challenge. The strength of the young prince was obvious to all.

But... for Ulthuan, is it a bit too arrogant to act so insistently?

"Should we ask Her Majesty the Queen for instructions on this matter? The coalition forces of the Inner Ring Kingdom have gathered in Airion under the leadership of Lilaze and Gilgarion. Even though their militia is weak, Savre's sword master, Ava Long Archer, Arion..."

The veteran thought for a while and expressed his evaluation in the most sincere words.

"The bastards on horseback can barely be considered a good army."

What he was worried about was not the lack of military strength, but Imrik becoming the Phoenix Queen. This war against Druchi must involve all kingdoms, so that they can have a strong identification with the leader who led Asul to defeat the Witch King. feel.

The old man's worries made Imrik smile. These old men were the only ones who could consider the causes and consequences and persuade themselves regardless of their status.

"Old man, do you think anyone in the Inner Ring Kingdom will criticize me for being crowned Phoenix King after the war is over, except for Gilgalion who can give me a few words?"

"Then there's no need to think about it." Edgar had no burden to get rid of the burden of his old ministers. Compared to Prince Caledor, who gained influence through military strength and battle results in the past, the political alliance of the young prince is undoubtedly more successful now.

Except for Gilgarion, who always dislikes him, every leader of the kingdom is his staunch strategic ally.

After no one had any questions, Imric tapped the armrest a few times with his index finger and said thoughtfully, "Dracnir, let him stay at the Dragon Gate. Before the outcome of my battle with Malekith comes out, let Eimrik Elvis takes over his duties for the time being.”

A biological son or an illegitimate son, one can tell at a glance which of the two is favored by the prince.

Everyone understood that Imric was not worried about not being able to win, but if something unexpected happened, the prince would need to take over the responsibility and carry the fire dragon flag to lead the kingdom forward.

"By the way, don't forget our old friend. He shouldn't mind playing with the Chaos Demon Army." (End of Chapter)
