Chapter 204 The Situation between the Empire and Kislev
"Dear His Royal Highness Prince Caledoron, I feel extremely honored to be able to meet you. Please accept the blessings of a humble person like me."
After meeting Imric At that moment, 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. However, compared with the status of the elf sitting on the chair, it was too different. too much.
"Get up, you are the Bancroft that Alagier said."
"Yes, this is the document that Mr. Alagier gave me. Please read it." Bancroft took out the document from his arms , but instead of getting up immediately, he bent down and held the file at head level, waiting for someone to take it away.
However, the expected situation of the document being pulled out did not appear. Instead, a cold voice came from beside him, "His Royal Highness asked you to get up and do not make any unnecessary movements." Seeing this situation,
Imric turned towards Masno Waving his hand, he motioned for him to go to the other side so as not to interfere with normal communication. The Marienburg nobleman kept his posture very low. It seemed that he had learned a lot about Caledo beforehand.
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, and 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 nobles excited. His face was a little nervous, and he thought 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 and looking at the very nervous Imperial man sitting in the chair, Imric knew that he had obviously misunderstood what he meant, but he did not want to explain and said, "What does the Human Empire want to get
from Caledor? If If you just want to find some mercenaries, there are many pirates in Itain and Cosqui who are willing to work for money. Considering that the commercial trade between Caledo and Marienburg has been going well in the past two years, I can find them for you. A channel."
This is a temptation. The Great Holy War must go, 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, and he would probably be thrown out. "Your Highness,
an unprecedented army The Chaos coalition is invading the Empire and Kislev, and the world needs Caledor to save it, just like His Highness the Dragon Tamer saved the world thousands of years ago." There was no
immediate response to his words, and Imric raised his glass and sipped it. After taking a sip, he said, "It seems that you know a lot about the history of elves, so you should know that Caledor has not set foot on the land of the old world for a long time. Do you know why?" This is a question,
Bancro Cold sweat broke out on Fut'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 raised this question. Could it be that he didn't 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 wine glass. The aristocratic businessman dressed stupidly understood that he did not dare to answer this question, so he simply talked about other things, "How 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
. , but Bancroft still breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "The northern part of the empire is being invaded by those barbarians, and due to some political issues, it is impossible to effectively organize an army to resist these Chaos believers." War of the Three
Emperors What is the impact of the war with vampires? Imric quickly understood the so-called political issues, but the person he wanted to know most did not explain it. That was Magnus, the pious man who was the master of the revival of the empire, and how he felt about the great holy war. I don't know much about it. 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 as the greatest emperor after Sigmar, Magnus 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, he turned to Kislev and asked,
"What has become of that kingdom ruled by witches?"
Bancroft was a little confused by what the Dragon Prince said, but he immediately understood it after thinking for a moment. , there are two main ethnic groups in Kislev - Gospodar and Ugor. The former migrated from the boundless steppe to the land covered by 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 They won't last long."
"It doesn't matter, my biggest impression of them is that the vodka tastes okay, but other than that, there is nothing worthy of praise." The
Dragon Prince likes to drink vodka, and Bancroft silently recorded this information in his mind. , maybe it will be used at some point. Just when he wanted to continue to echo, Imrik 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." A
look of surprise appeared on Bancroft's face. He did not expect it to be so simple. He gained the support of the most powerful kingdom in Ulthuan. If he had known this, he would not have to spend so much energy and financial resources to visit other kingdoms. He immediately stood up and bowed to express his gratitude, "Thank you for your understanding. The old world needs noble people.
" The Dragon Prince supports you. 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 is quite sensible and did not let himself take the initiative to mention such a thing. The Dragon Prince is here He 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 my pleasure."
