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 regarded this pearl of the mountain kingdom as a 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 High King's treasury was forged by the blacksmith god Val using the sacred fire of Asuryan when the first Phoenix King Aenarion was crowned. Hoth bestowed infinite wisdom on the wearer, and Elsa protected his life. , Kuros gives a sharp gaze, Lilith gives luck...

Almost all the gods of the Kadai pantheon 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."

Erikson was silent for a while. That fool Belegar didn't know that he was negotiating terms with Imric. If Caledor's army was allowed to cooperate with the Angrond clan's expedition, maybe the dwarves and elves would fight first. Come on, the Great Holy War still has humans as buffers. If it is in a place like the Bad Land, once a conflict occurs, the military operation may immediately 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 inform you to work with the Angland clan to recover the Eight Peaks Mountain."

The High King had a hunch that the Belegar brothers would have to fail several times before they truly understood what to do. Only when they really could not find support in the Mountain Kingdom, and when their manpower and resources were exhausted, would they think Using the dragon's horn as a reward, Caledor sent troops to regain the lost territory.

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 taunting was over, Imric was about to get up and leave. The expedition to 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 appearance in the world, and perhaps the Black Orcs would soon do the same. Will be scattered throughout the world from the dark place.

Before leaving, Imric said the last words to Erickson, "As a sign of good faith between collaborators, the two Doomsday Anvils will be sent to Marienburg after the war."

There were only two dwarves left in the tent. Thorgrin had been standing there silently, just watching his uncle communicate with Imric. At this time, he could no longer hold back his doubts.

"Uncle, you believe so much that this elf will assist the Anglande 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 assist the Angrond clan, but there is nothing we can do at the moment. After the end of this great holy war, the Eternal Peak will remain for a long time." There is no time to support the various kingdoms, and Domgar is already planning to regain the Eight Peaks Mountain again. Do you think this mustache who is only in his early one hundred years has this ability?"

After hearing this, Thorgreen shook his head. How could a mustache who has not yet reached the level of Captain Beard have the ability to regain Bafeng Mountain? Unless the troops of several of the most powerful mountain fortresses are gathered together, they can only use the outer underground tunnels. Fighting guerrillas with the greenskins here.

"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.
