Chapter 488 Impact and Response
Judith came to the living room and put on her regular clothes. Her eyes were a little sharper than usual, and in Imrik's opinion, there was a vague hint of toughness.
"Why does it feel like he's getting more and more stupid?" After complaining in his mind, Judith, who didn't know what the prince was thinking, said hello first.
"Prince."
Imric motioned to sit down first and asked Creon, who was standing guard next to him, to sit down with him.
Around the wooden table, the three dragon princes began to brag about the recent past.
Creon now put on a smile that was rare to see and asked Judith, "I heard that you almost killed the Scourge of Hell before. It seems that your martial arts have not deteriorated." "Forget it
. , who killed the hell disaster in the end, no one knows at all. When we came to our senses, the bodies were all reduced to pieces." Judith couldn't help but sigh, the biggest loot was taken away by a group of angry dragon princes Gone.
After getting angry, they didn't care about the prince's previous promise. A group of people gathered to cause fire and hell. As a result, no one knew whether they were killed or not.
"This is a good ending, and it is the only thing that makes me feel happy." Imrik, who was in the main seat, witnessed the whole process and wished he could go down and kill this Druzi himself.
After chatting about the Naggaroth battlefield for a while, Judith started talking about business, "About Kislev, are you sure you want to proceed this way?" The
originally lively atmosphere suddenly cooled down, Creon held the cup and said, Staring at Judith who questioned the dragon lord's plan, this young dragon prince actually felt sympathy for Mrs. Kisri. It was already the greatest honor in this life that they could make some contribution to Caledor.
As for Imric, although he is not as good as Creon, those familiar with him know that when his chin is slightly raised, nothing good will happen.
"So you have concerns about our original plan, thinking that this mercenary operation only needs soldiers?"
Judith was silent for a long time. The original plan was to support a political force independent of the Tsarist court and the Orthodox Church. , but this prerequisite is that someone actively seeks political influence.
The fastest and most effective way to get people to change their minds is to ignore their needs and allow them to be oppressed.
He withstood the pressure of the two people and spoke slowly, "But is this too unfair? I have been fighting with them for eight years. In these eight years, I have seen many people willing to sacrifice their lives for you, and I have also seen many people just because of orders. , they stayed in one position until all of them died."
"You paid attention to Rascal, and I saw many people who were not inferior to him. Perhaps these people are barbaric and do not understand what civilization is, but sacrifice and Courage is never lacking."
"You are really..." Imrik shook his head and sighed. The elves are a sensitive race, which also determines that they are prone to paranoid characters. Judith looks like she really regards herself as a gay. Mrs. Sri's chief.
"But they have been rewarded. Everything we promised has been delivered to them." Creon emphasized the spirit of the contract. The essence of a mercenary is to leave after finishing the work and never cause trouble to the employer.
If Judith really thought about it, would these people have become Caledor's foreign legion? They would not have to bear obligations and at the same time enjoy detached treatment.
"I don't think these rewards are enough to offset the loss of a life. When they returned to Kislev, they found that everyone they saw had strange eyes, and the reconstruction funds they exchanged for their lives did not get much. Respect, incomprehension, and even insult. How is this different from us in Ulthuan!"
Judith clenched his fists and spoke out his thoughts. He could remember the appearance of every dead person, and when they gave up their lives without any scruples, When they were handed over to his own hands, he was unable to get the treatment they deserved after their death.
He can't do this, which is why he is willing to risk violating the dragon lord's authority to come here. It doesn't matter how high the requirements are, at least his family must be able to live a stable life. Creon also fell into silence, obviously recalling the previous situation. Caledor has been the absolute main kingdom of Ulthuan since the Chaos Invasion. It was the dominant force in most important battles, but the result was... Just disrespectful.
The Dragon Prince of Caledor? This is the best sentence to describe the arrogance of elves.
"What you said makes some sense." Imrik withdrew some coldness. He really cared too much about the plan but failed to consider human nature.
"I understand that this plan is the key to your layout in the old world, but can you be more lenient with these soldiers? They have been fighting for a long time, and the short life span of humans determines that they can no longer persist." Judith's words were very sincere. .
But Imrik did not answer this question directly, and instead said, "The next batch of mercenary plans... will be postponed for eight years. You will go to Erengrad as the Caledor envoy in three years. This is my The bottom line."
Judith looked a little embarrassed. He heard the meaning of the prince's words. The plan will not change. In the short term, these soldiers must have the idea of changing. If he is allowed to follow them back to the base now, Sirif, you can settle it by means.
Raskol will study for two years at Kalede College. This is a supportive political leader. He must be allowed to lead these people who only know how to survive in their lives to fight to the end until a situation that satisfies the prince is achieved.
And these two years may have been a very difficult time to spend.
"I understand, and I thank you for your kindness on their behalf."
After saying these words, Judith walked out of the living room uncertainly, preparing to go to the dock to see off those who had escaped his jurisdiction.
After he left, Creon's face looked solemn as never before. Perhaps Judith's family's influence in Caledor was far from great, but questioning the dragon lord's order was not a commendable thing.
"Prince, for Judith..."
Imric waved his hand to signal Creon to stop, and his eyes moved to where Judith was sitting just now.
"As I often say, the world is completely different from before. Not only other races need to face the impact of Caledor and figure out how to deal with it, but Caledo also needs to do the same." "Judith
... ...Follow my orders."
"Yes."
Imric still had a high level of trust in Judith and was convinced that she would not do anything that would harm the interests of Caledor.
But many times, the way things are done is always gray. If he insists that things in Kislev have become like this under his own control, I am afraid it will be difficult to entrust him with important responsibilities in the future.
Although this incident ended in a bit of embarrassment, Imric did not intend to let it disrupt his schedule and said to Creon, "
Well... we will set off back to Kaled the day after tomorrow."
