Chapter 421 Inner Circle

"How many Skaven were killed?"

Imric took the kettle from Creon, poured it into his hand and touched the blood on his face.

Before they could finish their killing spree, it turned out that the Rat Man seemed to know what was going on here, and the rats that were still pouring out of the tunnel stopped.

Although I really wanted to rush into that tunnel and kill all the rats I could see, my brain still overcame my desire to kill.

"About five thousand or so."

Creon took stock of the corpses around him, especially the thick corpses near the cave, and looked at the prince in surprise.

Compared to his impression of the dragon lord who was good at precise and fatal strikes, the Imric just now was like a butcher. As long as the ratmen in front of him were turned into corpses.

Whether it was the piercing of the star lance, the corpse cut into two pieces with the tip of the spear, or the charcoal caused by the dragon thunder.

The sixty-man Flame Knights could only barely match them in terms of killing efficiency.

Waves of foul smell poured into Imric's nostrils, but this breath that might have caused physical discomfort in the past has now become a good medicine to calm the mind.

If there are some things that make me happy, maybe the first one is the awakening of the dragon, the second one is killing the rat man, and the third one is killing Druzi.

After looking at the sky, he felt that there was still some time before the sun would rise. He spurted out a stream of flames from his mouth, evaporating the blood on the Star Lance.

Facing Creon's surprised and somewhat excited gaze, Imric stood up and walked over to pat Mortellius' slender neck, "Continue, this mission will not end until the sun rises."

"yes."

On the other hand, in the Sky City, a discussion about the prince's situation is being held secretly.

As the commander of the Dragon Prince, Edgar frowned and said what he had just learned, "Imric ran out of the city gate with the Flame Knight. I don't think he wanted to do some reconnaissance missions himself. To be honest, I I'm a little worried about his physical and mental condition."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Bruni and Edtelis, who had more contact with Imric, and asked, "You should know more. I came to Lustria from Caledor recently. , after fighting this battle, I plan to go back to retire, and wait until the expedition to Nagaroth before coming back."

Edtelis spoke first. He may not know more than Edgar about Imric's current situation.

He could only shake his head slowly, indicating that he could not express any opinion on this matter, "I'm not sure. Adila also deliberately concealed this matter. Davian is mainly responsible for the contact with Hesiota. I’m afraid no one knows what Imric did inside. Besides, I was transferred from Anaheim to Qingyan Port a year ago, so I may not know much more about this matter than you do.”

Several people at the table focused their attention on Bruni. They were originally discussing the next coordinated operations of the high-level Dragon Prince, Dragon Prince, and Horn of the Sun, but the Dragon Prince as the commander-in-chief suddenly rushed out, interrupting the process. .

Compared with the tactics that had been discussed many times, Edgar, as a member of the Noble Council, was still more concerned about Imric's situation.

Bruni slowly shook his head when he was being watched, saying that he was not sure about the matter. In the past few years, he had been mainly responsible for the training of Sunhorn in complex terrain, and he also went to the north from time to time to support the Shadow King against Nagaros. In a war, there is no time to pay attention to so many things.

When he was at a loss, Edgar mentioned a person, which surprised many dragon princes.

"Let Mishan come, I hope he can give some advice."

These words made Assanir next to him feel uncomfortable. You must know that this small room is filled with high-ranking nobles in Caledor. Even some senior dragon princes are not qualified to participate in the discussion. There is no reason to let a human Enter.

"But he's a human being."

Seeing Bruni's unkind look, Assanil quickly explained that he didn't want to try the power of the Saber of Light.

"I'm not questioning his ability. Everyone in Caledor respects Mishan, and his dedication is obvious to all. But according to Caledor's tradition, military meetings of our level are not even qualified to participate in the Phoenix King's Court. Discuss. If you want to ask him about the prince's situation, it would be better to change the situation."

Assanil's words were very cryptic, but Edgar, who was presiding over the meeting, understood clearly. That was whether Mishan was qualified to enter the core level of Caledor's army. There were only about twenty people present in this room, but everyone immediately understood. He has great military exploits and his family's background is quite high in Caledor.

As one of only twelve senators in the Noble Parliament, Edgar not only needs to consider the impact of this incident on the army, but also considers the changes that may occur if Mishan is allowed to enter this room.

But he is not a die-hard like Old Hallandur. Amid the puzzled looks of others, Edgar chuckled, his tone full of self-sarcasm, "The captain of the Dragon Halberd Guard who is the palace guard is a human being." , Damian, who has no position, was sent to the southern Great Forest Sea, which made many people think that there is nothing to worry about. Iron Wolf has been responsible for carving the extremely important rune words in Caledor at the Anvil of Val. Shouldn’t we think Do you want to know the reason for this?"

"Mishan was incorporated into the Caledor nationality six years ago. Although he has never obtained noble status, based on his achievements and abilities, as well as Imric's attitude, we all know that this is just a matter of timing."

Edgar looked at the Dragon Prince sitting at the door and said, "Violet, go call Mishan over and find another chair by the way."

"yes."

When the respected Edgar said this, the others had no choice but to accept it with a shrug. There are three Caledor nobles, the Tal Kaled nobles headed by Randy, the Vaal Anvil nobles headed by Edgar, and the Tal Windhowling City nobles headed by Agathel and Old Harandur. , basically every dragon prince can find a home here.

Normally, it would be okay to pick on each other in the aristocratic circle, but now in a wartime situation, questioning the superior's decision is not the behavior that the Dragon Prince is accustomed to.

Mishan was quickly invited to this remote conference room and sat next to Bruni. He asked Edgar in the main seat out of curiosity, "What do the Dragon Halberd guards need to do?"

He certainly understands the importance of this kind of military meeting. Caledor has long had a war council circle with a senior dragon prince as its core, which is responsible for discussing relevant details after the dragon lord issues strategic goals.

However, as the captain of the Dragon Halberd Guard, Yoneyama has never participated once, while Bruni, who is theoretically his equal, is a frequent visitor.

After all, he was not an elf, so he definitely couldn't enter the inner circle. He probably just wanted the dragon halberd guards to do something.

But Edgar's words surprised Mishan. The Dragon Prince said bluntly, "I may have made some mistakes in my vote in the Noble Council before. Regarding whether to grant you honorary noble status, I remain the same as Edtellis's father." attitude, but maybe I’m too conservative, I didn’t expect a human to pay so much for Caledor.”

"You defeated Hagrid Grave's Malus and the Cold Lizard Knights led by him in the Battle of Fennuvar Plains. Later, you assisted Damian in defeating Khorne's Great Moskar Brand, killing many people in the process. Countless Druzi. Let’s not talk about the Chaos invasion of the old world. The military exploits obtained in the battle of Fenouir Plains alone are enough to shame everyone present."

"As a warrior, I would like to apologize. Later, I will discuss again with Randy Archibald, Speaker of the House of Lords, whether to grant honorary noble status to You, Damian, and Iron Wolf in the Parliament of Nobles."

"But before that, I need to know something."

Mishan was a little surprised. After the Battle of Fennoir Plains, Imric convened a council of conferred nobles, but the result was that those soldiers got it, while he, Damian and Iron Wolf only got a lot. Useless honorary titles, and a large amount of gold leaf coins as compensation.

He didn't expect that Edgar would actually mention this matter here, and he vaguely understood in his heart that once the noble status was conferred, and coupled with the highest-level military council, he had been included in the inner circle of Caledor's army.

"But I just want to end the war quickly, and then return to Qingyan Port to get married!!!" Mishan roared in his heart. Once he is canonized as a noble, he will definitely have a lot of things to do next, whether it is a title or other things.

And judging by Imric's appearance, he doesn't seem to mind getting himself a fiefdom, and there's a high probability that it might be in Lustria.

That means that the life that I originally thought would be peaceful for a few years will undergo great changes.

But looking at Edgar's sincere eyes, he was too embarrassed to refuse, so he could only continue his usual actions, scratched his head and said, "Thank you for your understanding, what exactly is it?"
