Chapter 464 Intention to Cooperate
"What did my Lord say to you?"
The White Wolf Grand Master intended to obtain Ulric's oracle from Imrik, and his serious face with a long beard became a little anxious.
Since Magnus climbed the floating earth, the White Wolf God has not given any instructions.
"You really want to know?"
On the contrary, Imric was rather curious, and it was not an appropriate move for believers to speculate on the gods' will.
Kristoff quickly realized and could only change the topic, praying in his heart that he asked out of devotion to Ulric.
"The Archpope believes that if there is cooperation between the two parties, personnel exchanges must be closer than before. Caledo pursues a strategy of absolute destruction of Chaos. This is consistent with the Church of Ulric. We hope that Caledo can assist The church protected the northern territories.
In return, the Archpope promised that some goods that were originally difficult to enter would smoothly enter the northern border of the empire. The White Wolf Knight's equipment customization would also give priority to Caledo. The two Teutonic guards who arrived with me were the people responsible for purchasing. . "
After finishing speaking in one breath, Christoph paused, thinking that this proposal was a bit unrealistic. The elf population was already small, and humans were needed to fill the colony.
How could it be possible to send elite soldiers to the empire to help deal with the Norsca in the north, the Chaos Warlocks in the mountains, the Beastmen in the forest, the Chaos believers in the city, the greenskins that appear from time to time, the undead that appear in the night, and the bandits that roam everywhere? .
As for buying equipment, there are only people who want to buy weapons, and I have never seen people who want to sell weapons. It is completely a seller's market between the two.
I can only think that the Great Pope is a little old and confused, otherwise it would be impossible to bring up this kind of thing.
But Imric thought about this matter for a moment. From a geopolitical perspective, the northern part of the empire was of little use to Caledor. After all, it was too far away. Apart from normal business and trade, it was difficult to have more contact.
But from a religious perspective, the Awakening Land has been torn down and rebuilt. With the efforts of the Slann Council, the Sotek Sect, and Caledor, a relatively prosperous temple city is gradually emerging.
Imrik's distress lies in being the only place where Caledor's worship of Sotek is legitimate.
There is nothing left to fight in Lustria, and Naggaroth to the north is full of fanatics who believe in the Dragon Father and Vaal. It is not difficult to choose the god, but you can't just choose whoever you want.
It seems to be a good choice to get some people to gain experience in the empire. It makes no sense that the Holy Grail Knights are famous in the old world, but the Caledor Knights are not.
"I agree with the Great Pope's idea. We have common goals and interests. The world needs everyone's efforts to suppress the forces of destruction. Well..." After thinking for a moment, Imrik thought that there happened to be a group of people in the country. The right person.
"The Dragon Prince cannot be sent to the empire to assist the Ulric Church. I believe you also understand."
Kristoff nodded and said, "This is not war assistance in the political sense. If the Dragon Prince appears in the empire on a large scale, it will cause disputes between the two countries. Although the church is not worried about these trivial matters, it will eventually cause discussion."
"So I will ask people to set up a voluntary civilian organization similar to the Imperial Knights. It is not affiliated with the military order of the Dragon Palace. Its main purpose is to resist the invasion of Chaos."
"Who will join this knighthood?" Kristoff didn't think Imric would let the Dragon Prince give up his status as an officer and join this civilian organization, and the answer he got was as expected.
"Many young nobles between the ages of 120 and 180 complain that the age of service is too late, but I am a person who respects tradition and do not intend to let these young people enter the battlefield too quickly."
After saying some nonsense, Imric nodded his finger and called for Creon to come in.
Creon glanced at the White Wolf Grand Master and found that the atmosphere between the two parties was quite harmonious, and greeted, "Your Highness."
"Call Elvis over here."
"yes."
After some time, the herald came to the arsenal and first saw three reckless men standing guard outside the door. After saying hello to Creon, they entered the conversation room.
"Your Highness, what do you want me to do?"
"Sit down first." Imrik pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for the herald to sit down first.
Then he started playing the emotional card, "Elvis, you have been serving as a herald for ten years, right?"
"Yes, I have been serving as a herald since I came to the palace from Wind Howling City." Elvis looked at the prince carefully. According to his experience, if this sighing tone is followed, it will definitely not be the next one. What a good thing.
"You are not young anymore. I asked you to find a partner before, but you couldn't find one, so I decided to give you some small punishment."
Depression, tension, and all kinds of emotions entered Elvis's heart. If anyone knew that he had lost his identity as a herald because he couldn't find a partner, everyone would probably laugh to death.
Thinking of my grandfather's cold old face after returning home, I felt a little scared for a moment.
"I plan to establish an unofficial military organization with Sotek's faith as its core and resistance to Chaos as its purpose, similar to the Imperial Knights, to assist the palace in dealing with the corruption of Chaos that may occur within the territory."
Ignoring Elvis' puzzled expression, Imric continued, "But it is the Sword Master of Hoth's responsibility to deal with the chaos in Ulthuan, and Caledor does not need to deal with the chaos in Lustria. "
"In order to ensure that this knighthood can play its due role, I think it is necessary to look at the world. The old world is the place where the invasion of Chaos is the most serious. We need a suitable place to try the feasibility."
"But Prince, what does this have to do with me? Do you want me to join this knighthood?" Elvis was a little confused. This was news he had never heard before.
What kind of bullshit knights, Caledor is as valuable as the Dragon Prince, otherwise he would turn around and become a flame mage, trying his best to become a dragon mage.
"No, what I mean is that your position as herald has been relieved and you have become the grand master of this knight that has not yet established a knighthood." After talking for a long time, Imric finally explained the topic.
Even though Elvis was a little naughty, he was still capable. He took the initiative to take over the battle flag many times and charged on the front line.
As for the flag officer, he has gone crazy.
The Preparatory Grand Master was silent for a long time. While Imric and Kristoff were waiting, he asked sheepishly, "But Prince, can you change your faith to the Father of Dragons? What is Sotek like?" I know that too. I really lack faith in it."
A dunk appeared on Elvis' head. After waiting for a long time, you told me this. Sure enough, the substitution was the right choice.
"Just verbal faith is enough. As for what happens next, it's not up to you to think about it."
"Okay, then how should this knights be established, personnel standards, location of the assembly area, sources of funds, equipment maintenance, operational doctrine..."
Elvis said a long list, but in the blink of an eye he got his second dunk, which looked extremely well-proportioned on the left and right sides of his head.
Imric hated the iron and scolded, "If you let me take care of everything, who is the Grand Master, or am I the Grand Master? I will only give you two standards. The first is that the personnel will be prepared by the appropriate age. Dragon Prince , cannot have a military position; secondly, when I am fighting the remnants of chaos, I can also fight with the greenskins."
Elvis, who was attacked by a dunk, took out his small notebook and took notes without any problem. After waiting for a long time and found that there was no sound, he raised his head and said doubtfully, "Then what?"
The third dunk appeared in the center of the head, "Then you have to figure out the rest by yourself. I will only give you a start-up capital and an order book to customize the equipment at Val's Anvil." (End of Chapter)
