Chapter 108: Alien Version of Unification War
"Big brother, it's too early to say harsh things. Some of those gods are very stingy."
The raven communicated with the Emperor from his heart.
"If you say such arrogant words, they will most likely turn around and help the Supreme God to deal with us first."
"I've dealt with the gods more than you think."
The Emperor was somewhat dismissive of the gods.
"Believe me, the so-called gods are just a group of guys who bully the weak and fear the strong."
"As long as you are tough enough and show enough threat to them, they will abandon the dignity of God to talk to you as an equal."
Elmo stared at the stranger in front of him with wide eyes.
This guy's arrogance was beyond his imagination.
It's not that the other party doesn't take the goddess of magic seriously, it's that they don't take the gods seriously.
A picture suddenly appeared in Elmo's mind.
In the Pantheon, the guy in front of me slammed the table.
With a big, earth-shattering expression on his face, he pointed at the gods and shouted in a sultry tone.
"I'm not saying that the goddess of magic is rubbish, I'm saying that everyone here is rubbish."
"Such arrogance will definitely lead to disaster." Elmo shook his head and said: "The guy who dared to challenge the gods last time is still trapped in endless pain. Are you sure you want to repeat his mistakes?"
"There is no need for us to continue chatting. Either give me the knowledge of the Magic Network in exchange for the Crown of Karthus, or shut up."
The Emperor didn't bother to continue arguing with Elmo.
He raised his head and looked at the Mind Flayer mastermind suspended in mid-air and the three people above.
Through the raven's reading ability, he has gained insight into the identities of the three people.
That woman's name is Orin Red, and she is a follower of Baal, the god of murder.
She perfectly lived up to the tenets of the deity she believed in.
He is a cruel, cruel, murderous, and addicted to killing assassin and murderer.
This guy is also a shapeshifter, able to transform into any creature she comes in contact with.
Such an ability is simply not perfect for an assassin.
Another man named Enver Gortash is a believer of Bane, the god of strife.
The Iron Warden who control Baldur's Gate.
It was a terrifying mechanical army.
Made of magic and steel, its combat power is terrifying.
The remaining one is General Som, who was beaten violently by the three original bodies before and has an immortal body.
He is a follower of Melkor, the god of death, and controls the undead army.
This guy has a very tragic past.
He was a disciple of Selune, the goddess of the moon.
Later, due to the tragic death of her family members, the Moon Goddess did not give any response.
In despair, he turned to the command of Shar, the goddess of the night.
Later, in order to resurrect his daughter, he chose to believe in Melkor, the god of death.
It is worth mentioning that his daughter was Isobel who blessed Perturabo's army.
She still believes in the Moon Goddess.
From the fact that she is willing to help Perturabo's army attack the Tower of Moonrise, it can be seen that she does not have a good relationship with her father.
The God of Murder, the God of Strife, and the God of Death are collectively called the Three Gods of Death.
They were once mortals who became gods by sharing the authority of Jergal, the original god of death.
Jergal is the oldest god and has authority over death.
Fiddle with the fate of mortals and make them fight for power and wealth.
When they die, they will be welcomed into the realm of the dead to rest.
Over the course of many long years, Jergal established a kingdom of the dead that was far superior to other gods.
But it also grew tired of its duties.
At this time, three arrogant mortals who had seized the power of the Lost God broke into the realm of the dead and challenged it.
Jehovah gave them his authority, and thus there were three gods of death.
However, the three gods of death were not satisfied with this, they longed for more.
They secretly stole the destiny tablet of the supreme god-Ao, intending to control the power of the supreme god.
This incident made AO very angry, thinking that the gods had strayed away from their responsibilities, pursuing power too much and neglecting to respond to believers.
He demoted the gods to the plane of Toril and let them transform into saints to retrieve the lost Tablet of Destiny.
The gods transformed into saints and entered the main material plane, so turmoil broke out.
This chaos caused the death of many gods and the rise of new gods.
The three gods of death who were the instigators also fell in that turmoil.
The authority was obtained by the new god Cyric.
After the end of the Troubles, the supreme god Ao changed the rules of the gods, binding their power to the number of believers.
The three gods of death planned to use the Supreme God's plan to increase their followers and thus regain their power of death.
They stole the Crown of Karsus from the Great Devil of Hell, and found three Nether stones left over from ancient times.
Netherite was created by the arcane masters of the Kingdom of Netheril during the Karsus period. It has terrifying magic power and amplification effects, and can perfectly control the Crown of Karsus.
Use the three Netherstones and the Crown of Karthus.
Orin, Enver, and Thom successfully enslaved the Mind Flayer mastermind.
The mind flayer mastermind is one of the most brutal and powerful creatures.
It can control the will of all people parasitized by the mind flayer tadpoles on a large scale, and can also transform them at any time, possessing unimaginable psychic power.
A single mind flayer mastermind can establish a large-scale mind flayer colony and enslave countless humanoid creatures.
Once the plan succeeds, the three gods of death will gain enough power of faith to return to their own kingdom.
"It's a bit difficult to be so high."
Perturabo looked at the mastermind suspended in the sky and frowned.
Mortarion and Lorgar looked around to see if there was anything they could do to jump to the Overmind.
The three of them have not implanted genetic engines, nor have they awakened the essence of the original body.
There is no ability to fly at all.
"Let me help you."
Malcador came out holding a double-headed eagle scepter.
He recited ancient spells, and his long-distance running body emitted terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations.
The legendary arcanist Sumo standing aside also showed a look of surprise.
Even he can't do such a powerful magic wave.
These foreigners are really more terrifying than the last.
Following the sound of the spell, wisps of light emerged behind the three original bodies.
They intertwine to form a pair of wings of light.
By gently waving the wings of light, a powerful lift propelled their bodies high into the sky.
"It's a good way to finally experience the feeling of flying Sanguinius freely."
Perturabo praised, flapped his wings of light, and soared into the sky.
Mortarion and Lorgar followed.
The fighting power of the three primarchs is much stronger than that of the three gods of death.
Even with the interference from the Mind Flayer mastermind, victory continued to favor them.
Orin the Red is a skilled assassin.
It is very fast and has the ability to move in space.
Bang! !
Orin was knocked away and exploded into a ball of red light before disappearing from the spot.
Then, he jumped out of thin air.
Holding the dagger tightly, he stabbed Mortarion.
Zheng~
Mortarion blocked the opponent's dagger with his scythe.
I saw a series of sparks bursting out, and the two weapons collided, making the sound of gold and iron.
Mortarion twirled the scythe in his hand, knocking Orin off balance, and then struck with the scythe again.
Bang!
Orin exploded out of thin air, turned into a ball of scarlet light again, and disappeared.
Mortarion looked around, holding his breath.
Suddenly, he felt something in his heart, and he swung the sickle in his hand and struck a place.
Orin came right out of there.
Before he could react, a sharp sickle fell and his whole body was split into two.
Red blood spilled out.
Innards flowed out through smooth incisions.
This assassin who believed in the God of Baal and had cruel methods died.
Mortarion removed the Netherstone from the opponent's dagger.
When you get the Nether Stone, you can feel the surging power within it.
After Mortarion looked at it, he put it away and checked on the other two brothers.
Perturabo fights Enver.
This guy is generally responsible for strategy and planning.
The combat ability is the weakest among the three.
After a few rounds, Perturabo pinned him to the ground and beat him.
If not, Raven told Perturabo in his heart not to kill him, his head would have been screwed off long ago.
Lorgar and General Som are also in a one-sided situation.
"Poor bastards who believe in false gods."
Lorgar raised the scepter in his hand and smashed General Som's jaw into pieces.
The terrifying force caused General Som to fly out.
Then, Luojia waved his light wings, flew above the opponent, and slammed down the scepter.
The hit General Som hit the ground like a cannonball.
Bang!
A dull sound sounded, and smoke and dust flew into the air.
A terrible deep hole was dug into the ground. Spider web-like cracks spread in all directions.
General Somme was reduced to a pulp.
After a while, he resurrected again and walked out of the pit.
Luojia retracted his light wings and fell like a cannonball.
Use the huge potential energy to crush General Som's head.
"It's really tricky! I want to see where your immortality is at its limit!"
Lorgar narrowed his eyes and looked at General Som who was reduced to mud.
This trip to a different universe really opened his eyes.
God is real in this universe.
But now he has no awe at all.
Those gods are nothing more than that!
Might as well believe in the god of chips and ketchup.
"Stop." The resurrected General Somme saw Lorgar rushing over with a scepter and shouted hurriedly.
"What do you want to say?" Luojia looked at General Som indifferently.
"Stop fighting, let's talk it over if you have anything to say."
General Som, who used to rely on his immortality to kill people at every turn, suddenly no longer likes killing.
"Sorry, I don't want to say it."
Lorgar swung his round scepter and slammed it down, cutting General Som into pieces again.
boom!
The black-red brilliance erupted violently like a volcano.
A terrible will came.
The ground rumbled, and terrifying cracks appeared.
"Death is not the end, but a new beginning."
The sound of death from hell came from the cracks.
A large skeleton wrapped in a black robe slowly crawled out of the crack emitting green light.
On the head of the skull is a huge triangular crown of solid gold.
The body is heavily decorated with skulls.
The person who came was none other than Melkor, the god of death.
Melkor raised his hand, and a huge black scythe flew into his hand.
General Som, who had been beaten violently, could no longer bear such cruelty.
He directly summoned the gods he believed in.
Melkor, who fell in the turmoil, although his strength was greatly reduced, still possessed the terrifying divine pressure.
"Have the false gods come out?" Lorgar showed no fear and pointed the scepter in his hand at Melkor, full of provocation.
"Mortal, how dare you provoke the gods."
Melkor looked at Lorgar and his voice was like thunder, rumbling and shaking.
"God? Sorry, I only believe in the god of French fries and ketchup." Luojia's tone was sarcastic.
From this moment on, his filter about God was completely shattered.
They are certainly powerful.
But it was not the way he imagined it would bring salvation to mankind and the world.
In the final analysis, gods are just reflections of creatures in the mortal world.
Lorgar flapped his wings of light, held his scepter, and rose into the sky to fight the huge Melkor.
Zheng!
Zheng!
The clash of sickles and scepters is endless.
Let the air ripple.
The fighting between the two sides became more and more fierce, and their moves were deadly, all aimed at the opponent's vital points.
"I like that scythe." Mortarion looked at the black scythe in the hand of Melkor, the God of Death.
"Don't worry, it's yours." Perturabo shrugged, "I don't like that kind of weapon."
"The sickle is very useful, and if paired with a hammer, it is even better." Mortarion said, "It's a pity that you don't use it."
"The hammer is very useful, let alone the sickle." Perturabo raised the forging hammer in his hand, with a golden skull and a double-headed eagle emblem on it.
He originally got Commander Cambion's ever-burning sword. After using it a few times, he still felt that the hammer was convenient, so he made a hammer of his own.
The two Primarchs flapped their wings of light and soared into the sky to join Lorgar and Melkor in the battle.
The immortal god wielded his scythe and struck again and again.
Terrifying cracks were cut into the space. It was extremely dark and bottomless, and the wind of nothingness was constantly blowing out.
Occasionally, some scary sounds can be heard from it.
I don’t know where these spatial cracks are connected.
Zheng!
Zheng!
Zheng!
The three primarchs relied on their great strength and superb skills to fight Melkor, the god of death.
The sound of gold and iron clashing continued to sound.
Everyone on the ground looked at this scene in stunned silence.
Although Melkor, the God of Death, fell once, he lost his godhead and his strength plummeted.
But it is still a being with divinity and divine fire, and it is not something that mortals can fight against.
The three foreigners were able to overpower the immortal god and firmly had the upper hand.
General Thom, who summoned Melkor, also looked desperate when he saw the battle in the sky.
The enemy is too strong.
Even if the gods are summoned, they are no match for the opponent.
Bang!
Perturabo's war hammer struck Melkor's white hand bones, creating shocking cracks.
White bone fragments fell rustlingly.
The death scythe fell from Melkor's hand.
Caught by Mortarion.
Countless terrifying necromantic sounds poured into the mind of the original body from the trembling death scythe, violently stirring his brain.
Mortarion groaned.
He used his willpower to suppress those voices.
"I am Mortarion, I am death, surrender to me."
The whispers of countless undead were dispersed by Mortarion's will.
The death scythe in his hand no longer trembled, lying quietly in his hand.
A mysterious connection was established between Sickle and him.
At this moment, Mortarion felt like he and the weapon in his hand had become one.
It is no longer a cold weapon, but an extension of his limbs and will.
"No! My weapon." Melkor opened his skeletal mouth and let out a low roar.
The light wings behind Mortarion flapped and rushed towards Melkor, "It is mine, false god."
After a fierce battle, the scythe in Mortarion's hand slashed forward.
It struck directly into the brow of Melkor, the God of Death, and struck its soul fire.
Perturabo and Lorgar also took the opportunity to attack, breaking its hands and thighs.
The three Primarchs joined forces and successfully defeated Melkor.
The huge body of the God of Death collapsed and turned into a pile of bones.
Divinity and divine fire condensed from the bones and turned into a burning white crystal ball.
Mortarion landed in front of the divine crystal and absorbed it with the death scythe in his hand.
The scythe trembled inexplicably, exuding a feeling of joy. It became closer to Mortarion, and its power increased several levels.
Melkor was slain.
General Somme also came to an end.
Split in half by Mortarion with his upgraded death scythe.
The soul was also devoured by the blade.
Can never be resurrected.
At this point, all three Netherstones fell into the hands of the Primarch.
"What a terrible artifact of death."
Mortarion looked at the Death Scythe with a hint of excitement.
"Strong weapons also require a strong mind." The raven appeared on Mortarion's shoulder and warned him.
"I will remember your words, Mr. Raven." Mortarion nodded, looking obedient.
"What should we do with the Mind Flayer mastermind?" Gale looked at the Emperor.
"Destroy it." The Emperor ordered without hesitation, "Use the Netherstone to order this guy and all the minions it can control to self-destruct."
"Ah, destroyed!!" Gale suspected that he heard wrongly.
The professionals of the Harper organization, as well as the druids, tiefling warriors, etc. all looked shocked.
Controlled by the Crown of Karthus, the mind flayer mastermind is a powerful weapon. It would be a pity if it were destroyed like this.
The Emperor didn't even hesitate.
"Please don't do that."
A voice reached the Emperor's head.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding scene shattered like a dream.
The Emperor was drawn into a majestic starry sky.
A mind flayer as huge as a planet stood in the void, staring at him.
"I can give you power beyond your imagination and help you fulfill your dream of conquering the world, please don't destroy me."
The mind flayer mastermind said.
"Liar, you just want to delay time and use the Crown of Karthus to evolve into Nethernaut."
The raven jumped out from the side.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
He had already gained insight into the mind flayer's mastermind's plan by reading information from the universe.
Even being captured by General Som's trio was done intentionally by this guy just to wear the crown of Karsus.
It also revealed the news of the prism, in order to allow the monarch to gain independent will, resist himself, and create loopholes in the plan of the three gods of death.
As a result, both its plan and the plans of the three Death Gods were ruined by the Emperor.
"Destroying me will not do you any good." The mind flayer mastermind said: "You have offended the gods, I can help you."
"It's just gods." The emperor was unmoved by the words of the mind flayer mastermind. "Destroying the enemies of mankind does not require any benefits, because destroying you guys is the greatest reward in itself."
As the words fell, the emperor's body burst into flames.
It was so turbulent that it burned the entire dreamland to ashes.
The will of the mind flayer mastermind let out a shrill cry.
The Emperor returned to the real world, and at his command, the three Primarchs raised their Netherstones and issued the order together.
"Immediately destroy all the minions you can control and yourself."
Waves of terrifying psychic energy were released, and the mind flayer mastermind attempted to resist this order.
But under the control of the Crown of Karthus, it failed and began to self-destruct.
Psychic energy explodes inside the brain tissue.
The thick tentacles disintegrated, fell off, and fell heavily to the ground.
The mind flayer mastermind, once regarded as a nightmare by countless races, fell apart and died completely.
[Change the destiny node by 5%, obtain the Scroll of Nether [Part 1], the manufacturing technology and principles of the Mythra Core]
With the death of the mind flayer mastermind, vast amounts of magical knowledge poured into the Emperor's mind.
The physical form of the Scroll of Nether is a golden page, each page recording knowledge beyond imagination.
It is divided into two volumes, each with a total of fifty pages.
It was accidentally discovered by the Netherese in an ancient ruins.
The Netherese Empire used this knowledge to create an incredibly glorious civilization.
Create a variety of beautiful buildings that are ingenious and free from the constraints of gravity.
We also created floating cities full of magic, which are beautiful and shocking.
But as time went by, the prosperous Netheril Empire also prospered and declined.
The Scroll of Nether was also lost for various reasons.
In the end, he disappeared completely with the destruction of the Netherese Empire.
Even though countless people came to search for it, they were still unsuccessful.
The Emperor absorbed all the knowledge from the Book of Nether [Part 1] and showed a satisfied smile.
"As long as I get the Scroll of Netheril [Part 2], even without Mystra's help, I can build a magic network, even a psychic network more powerful than the magic network."
Another reward, the Mythra Core, is also very precious.
It can stabilize the power of magical creations.
Creating permanent magic items is a very expensive task for the arcanist.
Not only does it take a lot of energy and magic power, but it also takes some life force.
The magical device of Mythra's Core can penetrate deep into the magic network, resonate with the most primitive and pure magic power, and directly transmit the original magic power.
This allows arcanists to create permanent magic items without having to cast magic constancy.
Its emergence made the magical floating city a standard feature for cities and great arcanists in the Nether era.
Unfortunately, this technology was also lost with the destruction of the Netherese Empire.
After absorbing all the knowledge, the Emperor examined the Crown of Karthus.
After obtaining the Scroll of Nether [Part 1], there is no need to delve into Karsus' three melons and two dates, and this crown is dispensable.
He glanced at Soma, and then handed the Crown of Karthus to Gale.
"Here you go, fuse this thing with the Netheril Ball in your body, and it will solve your body's troubles."
Gale's eyes widened.
He looked at the Crown of Karthus being thrust into his hands.
His face was full of disbelief.
Was the artifact capable of controlling the mind flayer mastermind given to him? ?
The leader of the tieflings, Sevro, and the leader of the Harpers organization, Jaheira, also looked shocked.
Such a precious artifact, just give it away for nothing?
What kind of treatment is this! !
I’ve seen the best of my opponents, so I’m not so extravagant as to just give away artifacts! !
Soma, the chosen one of the goddess of magic, was shocked and angry.
The shocked Emperor casually handed the artifact to Gale.
Anger means that the other party doesn't care about the favor of the goddess of magic.
Obviously there is no need for the crown of Karsus, as long as it is handed over to the goddess of magic, it will gain favor and favor.
The other party gave Gale the Crown of Karsus.
Such behavior is contemptuous of Mystra, the goddess of magic.
"Gail, give me the crown." Sumo said: "This is your last chance to regain the goddess's favor."
"No, Elminster." Gale shook his head and refused, "I spent the first half of my life trying to get her attention, and now I see it clearly."
"She and I are done. Now, it's time for me to live for myself and go my own way."
After finishing his words, Gale raised the Crown of Karthus and activated the Netheril sphere in his body.
The crown of Karsus turned into wisps of light, poured into his body, merged with the magic ball in his body, and became the core of his power.
With the fusion, a terrifying force burst out from Gale's body.
Strands of divinity were born from his body and intertwined into the godhead.
A ray of divine fire ignited deep in his soul.
Divine runes appeared on Gale's body, the most holy of gods.
His eyes were filled with white light, extremely bright.
Loud chants came from the sky.
The magnificent and sacred heaven appeared in front of everyone.
Rays of divine light pierced the clouds and fell on Gale.
The gods hidden in the heaven looked at Gale who was about to ascend, with different expressions.
However, Gale's next reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.
He raised his head, looked towards the heaven, and said word by word: "I will not choose to become a god, so I choose to abandon you."
The ethereal and beautiful hymn turned into an angry roar.
The gods were angry with Gale for his arrogance and vowed to punish him.
Gale didn't care.
He raised his middle finger to the sky as a sign of defiance to the gods.
"I firmly believe that one day, mortals will achieve achievements that will make the gods ashamed."
The manifested heaven slowly disappeared, and violent thunder covered the sky.
On this day, believers of various religions in the world of Toril heard the angry voices of their gods.
Mortals refuse to become gods and mock them.
This kind of thing is the greatest humiliation to the gods.
A terrible disaster will befall the planet Toril.
"Crazy, all crazy."
Seeing this scene, Sumo opened the portal and left directly.
The Emperor was mad, and so were those who followed him.
They are already arrogant enough to challenge the gods! !
These damn idiots, don’t they know how terrifying the gods are?
"Congratulations, Gale, you made a very wise choice." Malcador walked to Gale's side, "If you choose to become a god, you may not be able to fly to heaven, and you will be killed by my Lord's anger. Fall.”
"Is it still a test?" Gale scratched his head.
"You have to prove that you are worthy." Malcador put his finger on his tongue, wet it, and then sketched a rune on Gale's robe. "The symbol has its own meaning. Don't forget your original intention, Gale."
"I know." Gale nodded.
Melkor, the god of death, and the Elder Brain were defeated.
Orin Scarlet and General Thom were killed, and Enver was captured.
The Church of the Supreme True God was uprooted, and its believers were either killed or captured.
The Tower of Moonrise was completely controlled by the Emperor and others.
While searching nearby, the Emperor and others made an unexpected discovery.
The lowest level of the Moonrise Tower is connected to the Shadow Realm, where the Moon Goddess-Selene's daughter-Song of the Night Irene is imprisoned.
This guy has some unexplainable relationship with Pastor Isabel.
The Emperor asked the other party if he was willing to help him.
Song of Dark Night shook his head and refused.
The rejected emperor did not become furious or make things difficult for the other party.
After sealing the power of the Song of Dark Night, she was released.
The Emperor has always been very tolerant and kind as long as it does not interfere with his own plans.
After a brief rest at Moonrise Tower, he ordered the army to march towards Baldur's Gate.
Baldur's Gate is the largest city-state in the Sword Coast region on the planet Toril.
It is also the most prosperous and influential commercial city on the west coast of Faerûn.
Its highest governing body is the Council of Four, which is affiliated with the Lords Alliance.
The Emperor wants to take complete control of the Sword Coast, use the resources here to complete the great cause of unifying Toril, and then launch a war to conquer other planes.
Doing this is not just to establish a magical version of the human empire from another universe.
In order to change the established destiny of this universe, obtain the Scroll of Nether [Part 2] and more magical knowledge.
"The Iron Guard will serve you, my master."
Enver, who was taken as a prisoner, shamelessly surrendered and joined the Emperor's army.
This guy has the most powerful Iron Warden force in Baldur's Gate at his disposal.
His surrender caused Baldur's Gate to lose half of its power before the war even started.
With Enver's cooperation, the Emperor easily captured Baldur's Gate.
Some guys couldn't see the current situation clearly and wanted to resist, but they were suppressed when they changed hands.
"Your duties are over." The Emperor walked into the city hall and announced to the four members of the Council with different expressions.
"This place is not so easy to control." The highest leader of Flame Fist, the High Duke Urd Ravengarde, the head of the four-person council, said to the emperor, "Countless forces are watching here, you think you have control Can we sit back and relax in Baldur City? ”
The Emperor smiled: "They will soon turn their attention to see when my sword will fall on their heads."
After saying that, he waved his hand and ordered the four dukes to be expelled.
At the same time, martial law was declared and troops were sent out to raid all parts of the city.
Ban the killer guild, the thieves guild, these things cannot be put on the surface.
At the same time, a large-scale bloody crackdown was carried out against those so-called gangs.
Perturabo was in charge of this.
There are fools intent on challenging the Emperor's authority.
But Perturabo soon taught these men what it meant to be the Lord of Mankind and not to be offended.
The bright red blood stained the chaotic lower city.
Many competing gangs feel what real fear and killing is.
Without any nonsense, Perturabo directly led his troops to massacre those gangs and hung the heads of the rebel leaders on the street.
Even the gangs who raised the white flag to surrender did not let go easily.
The surrendered gang members were herded together and massacred.
Out of ten people, one person will get the death lottery.
The nine people who were drawn alive were to beat that person to death with their bare hands.
Bloody massacres and brutal repression quickly crushed the counterattacks of gangs and trade unions.
Let everyone remain silent and unable to resist at all.
After the lower city was stabilized, the emperor ordered to tax the nobles in order to obtain enough wealth to recruit soldiers and develop military industry.
The wealth of the rich and powerful was plundered.
In front of the blood-stained swords, the nobles readily handed over everything and claimed that they were voluntary.
Taking control of a city is extremely easy for the emperor.
What's more, there is also the help of Malcador and the three primarchs.
Baldur's Gate quickly underwent dramatic changes under his rule.
The Emperor squandered the wealth that the nobles had spent thousands of years amassing.
Foundries were built aggressively, legal reforms were promoted, and the army was formed.
Scholars were summoned to study how to use magic to increase productivity and create various magical devices for civilian or military use.
Baldur's Gate grew rapidly.
Magnificent steel factories have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Towering chimneys billowed black smoke.
Roaring machinery works day and night, and rows and rows of assembly lines continue to produce weapons and equipment.
Young children were thrust into the army and subjected to magical transformation and implantation.
Use the shortest possible time to become a powerful professional and serve in the army.
The remaining men and women were stuffed into factories and became cogs in the huge war machine.
The changes in Baldur's Gate have caused the shadow of war to hang over every country in Faerûn.
The first to react was the Lords Alliance.
Baldur's Gate was originally a city under the Alliance of Lords.
The Emperor's invasion of Baldur's Gate and seizure of control was undoubtedly a blatant challenge to them.
Soon, the lords represented by the Silvermoon City royal family - the famous magic family - the Silverhand family issued a call.
Silvermoon City, Neverwinter City, Waterdeep City, and the Dwarf Kingdom jointly sent troops to prepare for the crusade against Baldur's Gate.
To bring Baldur's Gate back under the rule of the Lords Alliance.
The four expelled dukes, as well as the nobles who escaped from Baldur's Gate, all joined the coalition.
They vowed to take back everything that belonged to them.
When the forces on both sides are at war, a war is about to break out.
The situation in Faerûn has also undergone major changes.
It may be that the emperor's arrogance provoked the gods, who decided to bring various disasters to let the emperor know the power of the gods.
It may also be a change in established destiny that has a chain reaction.
An adventuring party accidentally releases the Dragon Queen, Tiamat, into the Material Plane.
They rescued a cursed boy from the hands of the Dragon Cult and sent him to the residence of the golden dragon Oriel, hoping that the other party could help the boy get rid of the curse.
Golden Dragon-Aurel readily accepted this challenge.
However, the curse in the boy's body is the conspiracy of the Dragon Queen-Tiamat.
After the golden dragon absorbed the curse, the Dragon Queen-Tiamat forcibly took Aurel's body and was reborn in the material world.
Dragon Queen-Tiamat is one of the most powerful gods, the Queen of Chaos, the source of evil, and the mother of the five-colored dragons.
The first queen of the Githyanki made a pact with Tiamat.
After the adventuring team was severely damaged, Dragon Queen Tiamat left there and wreaked havoc on the continent of Faerûn, summoning her followers and the five-color dragon tribe to prepare for a great turmoil.
And a large-scale Mind Flayer shell ship also crossed from the eternal void and was about to arrive in the world of Toril.
Some Githyanki have heard that the first queen's biological son is on the planet Toril, and they are gathering together, preparing to open the star gate and fight for it.
Underground creatures - dark elves, spider monsters and other groups also began to try to come to the surface to expand their territory and plunder wealth.
At the same time, the great devil located in the abyss of hell is also opening a passage to the main material world, preparing for a large-scale invasion.
It is conceivable that the world of Toril will become a turbulent place in the future.
The situation was becoming increasingly tense, like a bowstring being stretched tighter and tighter.
A small conflict eventually caused the line to break.
The Emperor and the Alliance of Lords went to war.
A huge trumpet sounded on the battlefield.
The Emperor sent out massive magical golems, steel guards, and levitating magic ships.
With the promotion of the Mythra Core, these expensive magical creations became cheap and became assembly-line products.
If the floating city was not still under construction, the emperor would have planned to drive the floating city directly to crush the Lords Alliance.
If the country bumpkins here don't open their eyes, they won't know how to fight a magic war! !
This is a completely unequal war.
The Alliance of Lords also relies on the cooperation of professionals and ordinary troops to fight a magical version of a medieval war.
However, the Emperor's side has entered the era of magical high-tech, with sea, land and air coming together.
The fifty-meter-tall magic puppets, under the control of the mage, raised their hands, and huge magic halos appeared in front of them.
Destructive beams of light erupted from the halo and landed on the ground, causing explosions in patches.
The Iron Guard's steel body is engraved with countless arcane runes, which can reduce physical damage and magical strikes.
They marched in neat steps and rushed towards the Lords Alliance army, waving heavy weapons and beating the enemies within the attack range to a pulp.
The magic spacecraft stretched out a magic cannon, and as the magic array lit up, it shot beams of light towards the ground.
A group of cavalry was hit by the beam and was instantly wiped out.
The remaining limbs were extremely charred and exuded a foul stench.
"This is not a war at all, but a massacre."
The highest leader of the Flame Fist, Duke Gao, who was expelled from Baldur's Gate, looked at the battlefield reduced to hell, showing a look of despair.
The same goes for other coalition generals.
They see no hope of victory, and the soldiers are dying and bleeding in vain.
The war had been prepared for a long time, but it ended quickly.
The legions under the empire easily crushed the army of the Lords Alliance.
The battlefield was littered with broken corpses, and the river was dyed red with blood.
The alliance of lords suffered a disastrous defeat, and only a tenth of the assembled army was left.
"Let's start conquering the world."
The Emperor did not stop, but ordered the troops to move on.
He would swallow the entire Sword Coast, then Faerûn, and finally the entire planet Toril.
PS: The strongest top laner in the empire is about to return, and his record can be checked
