Chapter 249 Conditions
"Although I really want to do this, I think if you take back Bafeng Mountain, it may be blown into ruins." Erickson's tone was very calm, as if he had left the kingdom of mountains alone. Mingzhu was treated as a place of no importance.
Imric couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Although rationally speaking, even if he regained the Eight Peaks Mountain alone, it would be best to leave it to the dwarves, but memory does not lie, and those hatreds are still engraved in his heart. In my mind, I might actually blow up the Eight Peaks Mountain in a fit of rage, making it impossible for the dwarves and greenskins to get to this key place.
"Explain your conditions. We are all smart people. As long as it is reasonable, we can continue the negotiation. Otherwise, you may have to let the two brothers of the Angland clan stay in the Eternal Peak for the rest of their lives." He said the threat vaguely and not lightly. Come on, if the dwarves really want Caledor to regain the Eight Peaks Mountain alone, and he has no use for the poor place, the worst he can do is tie the two Belegar brothers in together, empty out the contents of the ancestors' treasure house, and take them away. Dragonbone Wasteland You can also use Dawn Fortress as a transit point for your expedition, so you don't have to work for the dwarves in vain.
"Bafeng Mountain, Longya Castle, and the heads of the Oathbreakers." Erickson explained what he wanted to get, two long-lost fortresses, and a Druchi who was remembered on the front page of the Book of Great Hatred. Malekith.
Imric did not speak, just waiting for the High King to explain the rewards. The first two were expeditions to the Badlands, and the latter were expeditions to Naggaroth. It can be said that no race can do it easily, if he just takes the Dragon Horn As well as some useless artifacts to deceive myself, it is better to wait and talk to Thor Green later.
The long-bearded dwarf slowly stated the conditions, "The Phoenix Crown, and all the Caledor trophies captured in the Battle of Revenge in Eternal Peak."
Phoenix Crown, legend has it that this artifact left in the Supreme King's treasury was the first Phoenix King. When Aenarion was crowned, he was forged by the blacksmith god Vaal with the sacred fire of Asuryan. Hoth gave the wearer infinite wisdom, Elsa protected his life, Koros gave him sharp eyes, and Lilith gave luck... almost the Kada'i pantheon
. All the gods personally poured their divine power into it, although Imric thought this was a bit nonsense. After all, if it was so powerful, why would Caledor II be beheaded by the Dwarf High King?
But this thing is indeed very important. Unlike the second Phoenix Crown made after the Longbeard War, the one made by Val symbolizes Aenarion's dominance over all elves, the unquestionable monarch.
But Imric didn't care at all that this was just a toy treasure. Whoever wanted to take the position of Phoenix King was not interested anyway, but he did not refuse Erickson's conditions. The purification ceremony in Dragonblight would last for a long time. For a long time, if Bafeng Mountain, Tiefeng Fort, and Longya Fort can form a line of defense, they can contain the greenskins coming from the west.
And there is a hidden meaning in the words of the High King. If the Phoenix Crown is handed over, it means that the treasure that symbolizes the victory of the dwarves in the Longbeard War has been taken back by the elves, and at least the mountain fortress of Eternal Peak will be wiped out. Regarding the hatred with Asul, not to mention the head of Malekith, it is obvious that the hatred of the white dwarf is still engraved in the hearts of the Drak Duraz clan, and one hatred is used to offset another hatred. Maybe this is Eric The difference between Sen and the previous High King.
"Yes, but it's not enough. There are also many things belonging to Caledor in the treasure house of Eight Peaks Mountain."
Erickson was silent for a while. That fool Belega didn't know that he was negotiating terms with Imrik. If Let Caledor's army cooperate with the Angrond clan expedition. Maybe the dwarves and elves will fight first. The Great Holy War also has humans as a buffer. If it is in a place like the Badlands, once a conflict occurs, it may lead to immediate military action. fail.
"I will do my best on this matter. I need to set up an embassy in the empire. When the time is right, I will notify you and the Angrond clan to recover the Eight Peaks Mountain." The High King had a premonition that Belega and the two The brothers will have to fail several times before they really understand what to do. When they really can't find support in the mountain kingdom, when their manpower and resources are exhausted, they will think of using the dragon horn as reward to let Caledor Send troops to recover the lost territory together.
But Imrik's idea is very important. There is no need for him to recover with the Angrond clan. The ancestral treasure trove cannot be opened just because the greenskins only rely on inspiration and intuition for magic. If Prince Caledor lets a group of Saffron The archmage arrived at the sealed door of the ancestral treasury, spent several years opening it, and then emptied it of all the treasures. Then regaining the Eight Peaks Mountain truly became the meaningless long-cherished wish of the Angland clan.
The High King's silent answer after sitting on the main seat had already let the Dragon Prince know what the situation was. Apparently he had already told Belegar about this matter, but the stubborn nature of the dwarves made them unwilling to let the elves intervene in this matter. .
Judging from Erickson's appearance, he probably made the cooperation with Caledor public because he wanted Belega to suffer. However, this matter is also understandable. If the original owner Imrik knew about the legend, The dragon horn was placed in the Eight Peaks Mountain. No matter what, he didn't care what the dwarves thought and immediately organized an army to expedition to the bad land.
"Okay, I will send ambassadors to several major cities in the empire next. When you think the Angland clan is capable of regaining the Eight Peaks Mountain, tell me through the embassy." After the intentional or unintentional ridicule,
Im Rick was about to get up and leave. The expedition to the Eight Peaks Mountain would definitely not start in the short term, but it could not be delayed for a long time. The Chaos Dwarves had already made their first appearance in the world, and perhaps the Black Orcs would soon be scattered across the world from the Dark Land. middle.
Before leaving, Imric said the last words to Erickson, "As a sign of sincerity between collaborators, the two Doomsday Anvils will be sent to Marienburg after the war." In the camp
, There were only two dwarves left again. Thorgrin had been silent and just watching his uncle communicating with Imric. At this time, he finally couldn't hold back his doubts and said, "Uncle, you
can So I believe that this elf will assist the Angland clan to regain the Eight Peaks Mountain. His words indicate that he has the idea of expeditioning into the bad land alone." Erickson said with some emotion, "No, I don't believe that
this elf will sincerely Although he really wanted to help the Angrond clan, there was nothing he could do at the moment. After the end of this great holy war, the Eternal Peak was unable to support the kingdoms for a long time, and Domgar was already planning to regain the Eighth Route Army. Fengshan, do you think this mustache who is only over a hundred years old has this ability?”
After hearing this, Thor Green shook his head. What ability does a mustache who has not even grown a long beard have to take back Bafeng Mountain? Unless It is to gather the troops of several of the most powerful mountain forts. Otherwise, they can only fight guerrillas with the greenskins in the outer underground tunnels.
"Mustache, one day my life will reach its end, and you will become the hope of the Mountain Kingdom." There seemed to be some hints in Erickson's words, and he seemed to be just lamenting the fate of the dwarves, and for the terrible fate of the current race. The wise High King has been helpless for too long.
