Chapter 239:
The topic of everyone’s choice caused the command post to fall into silence. After all, the empire should be leading this war. Whether it is in terms of military strength or geopolitics, the empire is extremely important to this great holy war.
But the dwarves are notoriously stubborn. Even though there have been many times when the dwarves and the empire have fought together under the influence of the covenant, there has never been a war in which the High King personally led a war in which someone who was not the emperor was the commander.
Not to mention the elves, Caledor would not lower his flag even when facing the Phoenix King. How could he let a human be the coach?
Magnus said something surprising, "I suggest that the High King should lead this war. I was just a disciple of our Lord Sigma before and lacked the experience to command such a large-scale war." He looked at Yi again
. Mrik, "Although His Excellency the Dragon Prince has defeated the Witch King of Druchi before, I'm afraid he doesn't know much about the situation in the old world. We need to face this great holy war with the most caution. The empire will not allow it." I hope you can understand if there are any mistakes in this war."
The pious man's tone was sincere, not like he wanted to actively shirk it and then let others push the coach to him.
To be honest, the dwarves are a little excited. If this war is won under the leadership of the High King, then there will be a lot of bragging rights.
Erickson was caught in a dilemma. If you asked him if he had any experience in war command, he definitely did. In the famous Battle of Blackwater Falls, he led the furious dwarves to kill all the remaining greenskins. In the one hundred years since the coronation, I have experienced many wars with greenskins and ratmen, but you have to think about the size of the dwarves. There has never been such a war with a total scale of more than 300,000 people on the plains. commanded.
To be honest, he wanted to recommend Imrik as the commander-in-chief. Although this was very undwarf, judging from the intelligence collected from Lothern before, the Dragon Prince commanded a battle with a total number of thirty people in Fennuvar Plain. A large-scale battle involving tens of thousands of people.
And after personally defeating Malekith the Oathbreaker, who brought countless disasters to the world, he still had the energy to organize an army to come to the old world to support the great holy war. This shows that victory will definitely not be won at a painful price. From the perspective of command ability and In terms of personal strength, there is no problem.
But it was impossible for the High King to speak, so he tentatively looked at Thor Green, feeling that the smart mustache could understand what he meant.
Thorgreen, who was deeply trusted by the High King, saw his uncle's eyes signaling to him and thought that he was trying to shirk Magnus from taking the role. He immediately said, "As the most important force in this battle, the Empire is naturally led by you." It is best to be led by someone you trust. The dwarves believe that Ulric and Heldenheimer will not choose the wrong person. Just like the first battle of Blackfire Pass, the empire and the dwarves can always win the final victory. "
Indeed, you should be the commander-in-chief, Magnus."
A surprising word came from Imric's mouth. No one would have thought that the arrogant Caledor elf would take the initiative to hand over command. Quan, if this reaches Ulthuan, it may cause an uproar.
It was unprecedented for a monkey to allow the dragon leader to take the initiative to speak. If he were to accept the command of a human monkey, it might be even more shocking than if Malekith was the real Phoenix King.
Waving his hand to signal the commotion of Davian and Bruni behind him to be quiet, Imrik didn't have much idea about this command right. Originally, the empire was the main force, and even if he got it, he would have to spend some time to understand the troop configuration and personnel distribution. , not to mention that the dwarves will not obey their commands at all, and it is useless to get them.
Magnus is different from the stupid emperors before. He needs to reach a peak of his prestige to be more conducive to the development of the next thing. A united empire is far more useful than a divided empire, and it is more useful than leading a great holy war. With this honor, I hope that the next things in the old world will go smoothly. "I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take on this important task." Magnus slowly shook his head in refusal. He has been a priest much longer than the commander. Maybe Sigma and Ulric chose him, but It still cannot change the fact that the war command experience is not as good as the two immortals in front of him.
Imric walked to Magnus's side with a solemn expression,
"Listen, Magnus, I don't believe in any divine revelation, but I deeply believe that a warrior's intuition will not lie. You have this kind of The ability to lead this great holy war to victory, rather than placing hope on others. Humanity needs its own efforts to revive again."
These words are not comfort, the title of savior can never be obtained by relying on the choice of two gods. , which was obtained by stepping on the twelfth Eternal God Chosen Isava Kuhl. This honor is something that not many humans can obtain. It belongs to the empire's strong man from the sky.
"Indeed, although I hate elves, what Imrik said still makes some sense. Magnus, I believe you can lead the coalition to victory in this great holy war." After Imrik took the initiative to After the command was released, Erickson lost no time in telling his excuse.
He waved his hand again to signal Davian, who was about to start a scolding war with the High King, to stop. If such indifferent words could be scolded, there would be no need to expect the dwarves to take back the Eight Peaks Mountain together and tie up Belegar. Just open the ancestral treasure house underground and that's it.
Seeing the two leaders voluntarily giving up their command, Magnus had mixed feelings. He felt deeply that the two leaders were wise and were not bound by some inherent ideas.
At this moment, the devout man also showed the momentum of being chosen by the two warrior gods and took over this important task. "This great holy war is not only a matter for humans. Every order race that understands the threat of chaos should join it. I am very happy." Thank you Dragon Prince for being so trusting, and so is the High King."
After gaining command, he began to question the Caledorian army that had been arriving in Kislev for the longest time, in an attempt to obtain more accurate information about the Chaos army," Imrik, what makes you travel so frequently?"
Imrik was not offended by this questioning tone. If the savior was a softie, he would have to look down on himself a lot, "I need Know whether the people present are trustworthy, especially the two warlocks around you."
Human magic is still in its barbaric growth stage, and its connection with Chaos is not deep, so it requires extra attention.
"The fact that the two of them can stand by my side proves that they are under the watchful eye of the two patron gods of the empire."
"Very good, I believe in your judgment." Imrik nodded. His bald head and monocle were indeed very impressive. It's extraordinary. I'm afraid not many people can match this momentum.
"I have been following the traces left by a Tzeentch demon these days. Its whereabouts are very secretive, but it has still been discovered. It is not yet clear who it is, but it can be hidden so deeply that it must not be a low-level person. "Great Demon of Tzeentch."
After the word "Great Demon of Tzeentch" was spoken, the people present were not surprised. After all, there will definitely be many demons in this great holy war. If the Dragon Prince is closely following the All-Changing Demon Lord, Then it can be understood why he has not been in the camp these days.
