Chapter 514 Two Choices, and Ridiculous Trust
As the feathered serpent flew toward the enemy, Pakar turned the muzzle of his gun and began to suppress the bloodthirsty ghost, while Imrik was also trying the feeling of what the snake god prophet said about hitting birds with a cannon.
At least the vampire lord was burned to ashes by the hot laser beam just as he picked up the staff and prepared to gaze with Nagash.
Blood holes of varying sizes appeared on the bodies of the bloodthirsty ghosts flying next to them. Perhaps these shells lacked the divine blessing, but they could still have a huge impact on a flesh and blood body.
This wave of weakening made the Quetzalcoatl's offensive become even more ferocious. The lightning and magical energy could not help but attract the vampires who turned into bloodthirsty monsters.
Imrik, who was charging the main gun, suddenly stuck his head out and stared at the land where the flying monster appeared.
Elvis, who noticed that the main cannon had not fired for a long time, came over and said, "Prince, what's wrong? Are there dozens of monsters like this?" "
No, but they actually held back..." Imrik was silent. Thinking of it, a zombie dragon.
If the Lahmian vampire dares to put it on the battlefield, he can immediately ask the Iron Wolf to prepare a teleportation spell to get the Flameborn Knight to Kislev.
Perhaps this zombie dragon has nothing to do with the Caledor dragons, but how the Lahmian vampires prove this is not up to Caledor, who has fought with the dragons for seven thousand years.
"You brat, I'll give you two choices."
"You say it." Elvis lowered his head, ready to obey the order.
Although the prince always said that the horned viper was not under his control, anyone who wanted to take this seriously might be taking himself too seriously.
"The first is that as a friendly force, you protect civilians and the port as a lifeline for Raskel, and help deal with the vampires and necromancers in Erengrad, but you will not participate in the civil war in Kislev." "What about the second?
" Elvis felt that this choice was a bit nonsense. He came all the way to do this, and he might as well be fighting beastmen in the Empire.
"The second is to find the zombie dragon, let Althea use image magic to record it, and then send it back to Caledo. The giant horned viper can investigate whether this matter is true in my name." He gave Elvis
a With your understanding eyes, there is a lot of room for manipulation in the investigation. If the first one is gone, there may be a second one until a result is achieved that satisfies you. What nonsense is international diplomatic relations? If you dare to desecrate the dragon's corpse, even if the Phoenix King comes, it won't help.
"Then I choose..."
"Don't worry, wait until we get to Erengrad. Masnow will explain to you what to do before making the final decision. I believe you won't let me down." "I understand.
" ."
"Okay, Draconir is clamoring to play with the dragon again. I'll take him for a walk first, and use the albino snake skull to contact him if he has any questions." "I
hope your highness can have fun, I have some time too. I haven’t seen him before. Next time we meet, he will definitely have become a warrior as brave as you."
"You kid..." Imrik smiled and shook his head. Many people realized that praising themselves would end up with a bad card. Face, but if you Quadrachnir, the final result was actually good. Unexpectedly, this matter was known to Elvis who was far away in the old world.
After cutting off the channel of consciousness, the Skink Priest rolled his eyes and shouted, "Sotek..."
Elvis covered his mouth. This was highly confidential. How could he say it loudly? What happened in the end? How embarrassing it would be for the prince to be the only one who thought that no one knew his identity.
.........
In the secret command post of the Patriot Army, the general was analyzing the situation meticulously.
After the army led by vampires poured into Erengrad, many people have realized that the Patriot Army is not a warlord force formed for profit, but a righteous force that actually wants to turn the kingdom into a kingdom ruled by dark creatures.
The Patriot Army, which originally numbered less than 5,000 people, had an influx of passionate young people, fighting against the forces of darkness amidst the call of flames and rebirth.
But to be honest, the effect is somewhat small. These people lacked training and the preparation time was too short. The Patriot Army only took control of two armories in Erengrad. After identification, they believed that they were all junk and materials left over from the Great Holy War. The veterans were leading the new recruits through the baptism of war, forgetting the fear of the roar of artillery fire, the fear of the dead people standing on the ground, and the fear of the power of the Czarina...
After all, the time was too short. The general shook his head and said that the situation was not optimistic. If there was a complete logistics supply line, he would be sure to rely on veterans to lead new recruits to occupy important areas of the city one by one and drive the vampires out step by step.
But now, even the food was saved by Mazov last year, and people who know some blacksmith skills are urgently maintaining armaments. If this situation continues, I am afraid that it will not last long.
He turned to look at Caledor Ambassador Rachel, who was invited here. His low tone was full of determination, "Ambassador Rachel, I believe you have information about all my assets in Caledor." The ambassador nodded, no
. If you need any documents, just recite them directly, "The shares of the mines affiliated to the Bianchi family are estimated to be thirty-three thousand gold leaf coins. For your achievement in killing Nairatul, the prince rewarded you with a Tal Kare German residence. The college's annual scholarship for outstanding students, bonuses for anthropological research and social science projects, profits from salary invested in welfare institutions during employment..., a total of 42,300 gold leaf coins." "If I use the money I get
next How many gold leaf coins can power be used as a loan?" The general clenched his fist. If he wasn't a fool, he would have noticed that everything was too coincidental. Mazov had already begun to prepare for this war. Caledo deliberately left him behind without any news. into the ear.
Caledor wanted the population of Kislev, and as the first line of resistance against Chaos in the north, the general agreed. Although there were suspicions of traitors, at least these elves were more human than vampires, and they did not let the children of the motherland lie on the table. Slit your own throat, that's enough!
The ambassador narrowed his eyes and looked at Rascal again. The philosopher and the villain, these two people are so appropriately called.
After understanding everything, the philosopher lost his last bit of goodwill and only thought about using the most effective way to solve the problem; while the villain, after receiving divine enlightenment, actually had a trace of goodwill in his heart and tried his best to prevent the situation from developing in the most serious direction.
"Calledor does not intend to turn Kislev into a puppet. Your most important significance lies in being a trading partner and the first line of defense against Chaos in the Old World. This is the Dragon Prince's promise." Raskel tightened his grip
. He loosened his fist a little. This was what he was afraid of. If other elves said this, he would think it was nonsense.
But since the Dragon Prince said so, and having known the elf named Caledor for so long, his arrogance would not let him break his promise.
"I believe in this promise, at least for now."
The ambassador nodded and did not continue to emphasize the matter. He turned to talk about the situation on the battlefield,
"You have two choices. First, Caledor can prepare for you in the empire. With enough supplies, as long as you control the port, your logistics will not be under pressure. Second, let Mazov find the Lahmian vampire who uses the dragon corpse as a tool. Caledor will have enough reason to intervene in this war. Maybe the dragon lord will come to the battlefield in person."
"Plokin understands the importance of this zombie dragon to the situation, and it cannot be released easily." Rascal did not agree with the second plan in his heart. When he found out that it had been arranged After that, it was difficult for him to have that sense of longing for elves anymore.
"Raskol, I must remind you that although your plan to be a support object was determined long ago, after the news of the Queen's transformation into a vampire reached the Dragon Court, we had two choices at that time." The ambassador's eyes began to look threatening. After learning more about the deeds of the blood ancestors of the Lamia family, he had some doubts about the mercenaries' combat effectiveness.
If several vampire families flocked to Kislev because of Queen Lahmia, it would be like making Caledor's work in vain.
Rascal's eyes began to cool down, and he confronted the ambassador, "I don't think your actions are out of good intentions." "I don't deny
this, but at least it is you who are fighting the vampires now, not a man who was... The Boye nobleman protected by Sur. There was a court meeting where three people expressed their opinions on the changes in Kislev's plan. Two of them rejected the puppet plan, thinking that you can meet their expectations. But if you act blindly now, I'm afraid Just betraying this trust."
Two people...
Rascal quickly thought of the commander Judith who had worked with him for a long time, and the magic sword worn on his waist that had not been replaced for a long time was the cold-faced instructor. of gifts.
Trust...is such a ridiculous thing.
He stared at the ambassador for a long time, his lips trembling slightly,
"I will try this. I trust these two Excellencies, but I also hope that Caledo will not do anything that betrays trust again." "
Calledo has never betrayed his trust . Overtrust, if your stupid head can think carefully for a moment, you will understand that this mercenary plan is much more useful than you think. If Katrin, who became a vampire, was not eliminated by Madam Kislev, but by the Empire , the Church of Ulric can justifiably settle in, and your so-called Four Righteous Gods will soon be forgotten.
We just want some population and resources, and the empire wants your faith, and the vampires want everything from you, and put all harm to Comparing and making appropriate choices is what a leader should do."
