Chapter 266 The Gathering of Evil (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
Departing from Mingtan Island, the fleet followed the northward monsoon across the Corin Islands, and arrived at the Whalebone Islands within a few days.
When Zuo Si landed, there were basically no living people on the island except for the sailors of the Nelanthel fleet and a few remaining prisoners.
Because this was originally a gathering place for pirates, apart from pirates and unscrupulous businessmen, there were no civilians on the island at all.
So during the capture, the two lichs responsible for providing magical support unceremoniously used the Death Cloud Technique and the Stinky Cloud Technique, which can kill in a large area, and combined with hundreds of undead creatures, The two main strongholds were easily slaughtered.
Although the pirates also hired several mages and warlocks, their spellcasting levels were too low to withstand the combination of Death Cloud and Undead.
In addition, a very few priests of the sea goddess Amberli were killed in the melee.
In short, under the crushing force of absolute power, the pirates of the Whalebone Islands were pushed flatly without making any waves.
Looking at the undead armies that had been resurrected into zombies or skeletons by necromancy magic, Zuo Si suddenly asked without looking back: "How many low-level undead creatures do you have on your hands now?"
"Well... including those before, there are almost more than 100,000. But most of them are used as laborers and are not equipped with enough weapons and armor."
Vanessa lowered her head and thought for a moment, then quickly gave a very vague number.
After all, the work of transforming the undead is often accompanied by the killing of enemies.
For example, if the pirates attack the Whalebone Islands today, their relatively well-preserved corpses will be transformed into undead after the battle.
In the same way, if anyone within the organization discovers that there are orcs, gnolls, goblins, hobgoblins, bugbears, ogres, trolls and other monster tribes in the wild, they will also notify the necromancy system. Magical Vanessa sets off to harvest.
So it is not easy to make accurate statistics if the scattered data is added up.
In addition, there will be a certain loss when used as cannon fodder, so even Vanessa, who controls these undead creatures, does not know exactly how many low-level undead she has.
Normally, he only counts those undead that can be transformed into ghouls, demons, mummies, etc. that are slightly more advanced or have certain intelligence.
Because although the number of the former sounds very large, if you encounter high-level priests or paladins, often just a dispersion or positive energy magic can kill a large number.
This is why there has never been a "natural disaster of the undead" in Faerûn.
Even the red-robed wizard who controls a large number of undead creatures, his army is mainly composed of living humans, dwarves, orcs, half-orcs and other humanoid creatures, as well as a small number of constructs.
It is true that the natural disasters of the undead are too suppressed in Faerûn, a land filled with magical users.
Only if the opponent does not have any decent spellcasters can the huge advantage brought by numbers be used.
"One hundred thousand? It seems that you need to control the upper limit a little bit. You must know that controlling so many undead creatures will definitely attract special attention from some gods and their followers." Zuo Si reminded in a low voice road.
“You don’t need to tell me that I know this. However, most of the low-level undead are arranged to be cultivated on inaccessible desert islands, and some are thrown into dark mines, so you don’t have to be too cautious. Too worried. Compared with this, I am very interested in the special life that the vampire queen named Badi gave birth to."
When she said this, Vanessa's eyes flickered. People shudder with excitement and curiosity.
It is very incredible to know that undead creatures are pregnant, not to mention that it may be related to the saints of gods.
If he hadn't obtained permission, he would have even wanted to rush into the sewers of the Ascatla cemetery area immediately, open up Badi's belly to see what kind of secrets were hidden inside.
"Don't worry, we will go back and deal with this matter after Luskan is solved. I think that thing is much more difficult to deal with than the Arcane Brotherhood." Zuo Si responded meaningfully.
“Could it be a demigod or a deity?” Vanessa guessed in an uncertain tone.
Zuo Si shook his head gently: "Probably not. Because I did not feel the existence of divine power and divine sparks. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it is because the remaining power of the saint is too weak to have any There is no way to form a stable core, but one thing is certain, that is, it is at least a legendary creature with great power."
Vanessa said with deep approval: "This is exactly what I am interested in. And I feel that a situation like this is absolutely impossible to occur naturally, otherwise Irenekas would have tortured the saint long ago. It happened. Maybe there is a god, demon lord or devil Duke plotting something behind it."
"It doesn't matter, the most important thing in this world is all kinds of conspiracies and unexpected enemies. Whatever the black hand wants to do, this most important prop is now under our control." Zuo Si said with a hint of nonchalance.
If there is anything that impressed him most about Faerûn, it must be the series of conspiracies one after another.
Especially when you are entrusted to investigate certain special cases, when you feel that you are very close to the truth, you will suddenly find that there is a hidden force behind the murderer.
After you worked hard to eradicate this force, you discovered that the other party was just deceived and manipulated, and there was a deeper mastermind.
In short, the more important and far-reaching an event is, the more likely there will be more than one participant behind it.
Take the Son of Baal as an example. At the beginning, his adoptive father Gillian was killed in a surprise attack, followed by the iron ore crisis and a large number of thieves cutting off trade routes, and then it was investigated that the Iron Throne was behind the scenes.
After returning to Candlekeep, I discovered that the real culprit was Sarevok, who was also the son of Baal.
And this is just the beginning of a legendary adventure!
What happens next is the battle of wits and courage between Amn and Irenicus to regain their own souls and divinity
After going through a difficult battle of the five descendants, it was not until the end that the real mastermind was discovered. On the surface, he seemed to be helping the sons of Baal, but in fact, he betrayed the god of murder he served and wanted to seize divinity and Melisandre became a goddess with divine power.
It can be said that the incident of the Sons of Baal is the epitome of the series of conspiracies in the entire Faerûn continent.
In the same way, if you want to completely destroy the Arcane Brotherhood and occupy Luskan, you need to face not only the enemies in front of you, but also the Zhentarim and the Red Robes who work closely with them. Wizards, and other unknown forces.
As for the strange life that was born in Badi’s belly, there may be more involved.
So Zuo Si was very patient, knowing that the other party would show up sooner or later, so there was no need to spend so much effort and energy investigating.
Just when Vanessa was about to say something, a very young-looking apprentice quickly walked over from a distance and reported in a low voice: "Master, new news has just come back from Luskan. There was a rebellion within the Arcane Brotherhood. The four tower masters united to overthrow the rule of Akram Grace and caused him to escape seriously. "Oh?" The lich's eyes instantly lit up.
If this news is true, then now will be the best time to attack the main tower of the Arcane Brotherhood.
"It happened about two days ago. However, due to an accident during the delivery of the message, it could not be sent back as soon as possible. At present, this incident has shocked the entire Northland, It is said that Neverwinter has united many towns to send troops to confront Luskan's army at the border."
The apprentice's tone clearly revealed unconcealable ecstasy.
Because this means that the entire Luskan is currently in a defenseless state.
“It seems we have to move faster.” Vanessa touched her chin with a sinister expression.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "We really need to move faster. Notify everyone to board the ship immediately. It will take a few days to get from the Whalebone Islands to Luskan. I hope our fleet can catch up with them Attack before we react."
"No, what I mean is that we go around the back of the Luskan army and cooperate with the Neverwinter coalition to surround and annihilate their last remaining strength.
Attack from both sides of the waterway at the same time, causing the city to completely lose its will to resist and surrender.
After all, you have said before that Neverwinter and its allies may not be of much use militarily, but politically they can provide legitimacy and legitimacy for our occupation of Luskan.
So I think it is a good choice to let them participate more deeply. "
Vanessa expressed her thoughts with great interest.
"From our standpoint, maintaining an too close relationship with Neverwinter, especially letting them join the attack Luskan's line is actually not a good thing.
You have to understand that the church of Tyr, the God of Justice, and the paladins have a very firm attitude towards the undead, and there is almost no possibility of compromise.
Therefore, there is no problem in joining forces to annihilate Luskan's army, but they must not be allowed to enter Luskan's walls.
Otherwise it will be very troublesome when we use the undead army and cleanse existing vested interest groups. "
Zuo Si rejected the Lich's proposal without hesitation.
He didn't want anything to happen when the whole plan was about to succeed.
"Okay, I will let Eric come forward to be responsible for contacting Neverwinter City, and try not to use undead creatures and spells to transform undead creatures in front of them. ”
After saying that, Vanessa quickly began to issue orders to let the sailors who had rested for a day reboard the ship.
About an hour later, the huge fleet set off from the bay in a mighty manner, aiming for the final destination of the trip - "City of Thousand Sails" Luskan.
Just as the fleet set sail, Akram Grace finally successfully transformed into a lich with the help of the desire demon.
Feeling that his new body was filled with negative energy and not aware of any aging, fatigue or lack of energy, he couldn't help but show an expression of great satisfaction.
“This feeling... is so great! It can’t be described in words! No wonder capable mages will try their best to transform themselves into lichs. Endless life span, never tired spirit, as long as the phylactery The existence can never be killed, and it can maintain absolute sanity and not be troubled by various physical desires. This is the state that the mage dreams of. ”
"As long as you like it. In addition, I will keep this life box for the time being. I believe you won't have any objections, right?"
The Demon of Desire gently shook the necromancy magic in his hand. A small box of inspiration.
You know without asking that she is reminding the other person that she is the leader of the next series of actions.
"Of course. It is an honor for me to serve Archduke Disbat."
Akram Grace put one hand on his chest and bowed deeply, whether it was His eyes and movements were extremely submissive, and he had no intention of snatching back the life box that was related to his life and death.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but his cautious character makes him unwilling to act rashly before knowing the opponent's strength and trump card.
Because he knows that there is often a huge difference between the real devil and the one described in books.
Especially for those who are sent to perform tasks in the material world, they might also have a certain professional level in addition to their own innate abilities.
The lust demon in front of me can help him complete the ritual of transforming into a lich, and he must have very high attainments in necromancy magic.
Even if he is not a mage, he is probably a warlock.
What's more, Akram Grace also wants to use the opponent's power to fight back and kill all the traitors.
The Demon of Desire nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I like your current attitude. Since time is tight, let's stop talking nonsense and start taking action directly."
said Then, she reached out and pushed open the door behind her.
In an instant!
A group of guys dressed as more than twenty adventurers appeared out of thin air in the yard outside the door.
Since more than half of them have red scales, claws, horns and tails, it is easy to identify the purgatory blood flowing in their bodies.
You don’t need to ask to know that these guys were originally sent to Faerun by another Hell Fiend to collect information about Zuo Si.
But now, they have all been summoned by the lust demon with a higher status to assist Akram Grace in killing Luskan and regaining control of the Arcane Brotherhood.
"How about it, are you satisfied with these helpers?" The desire demon asked with a half-smile.
“I can’t be more satisfied. Come on, I just happened to have a backdoor in the mage tower. It’s time to make those damn traitors pay for their ungrateful and despicable deeds, with blood and death. …”
After gritting his teeth and saying these words, Akram Grace immediately began to chant a spell, opening the transmission channel between the safe house and the Luskan Wizard Tower.
As the founder of the entire Arcane Brotherhood, it is naturally impossible for him not to leave some backup in the Mage Tower.
The teleportation rune used to escape was like this before, and the same is true for the secret teleportation channel now.
If after the rebellion, the tower owners can quickly elect a leader that convinces everyone, and then sort out the entire mage tower from beginning to end, they may be able to clear out these hidden dangers.
Unfortunately, the four tower owners refused to accept the other, and eventually the two of them joined forces to form a situation of division and confrontation.
Not to mention cleaning up the hidden dangers inside the mage tower, they didn't even dare to approach the area controlled by the opponent, and could only barely maintain this delicate balance.
Soon, under the command of the Demon of Desire, this team, which obeyed the orders of the lord of the second level of hell, filed in.
When they passed through the portal, they immediately found themselves in a hidden underground warehouse without any doors or entrances.
The surrounding area is filled with things excavated from various ancient ruins in the North.
Some of them are sculptures of energized gods, demons, and demons, while others are broken magical items left over from the days of Netherese.
The most eye-catching thing among them is the Mythra core placed in the middle and protected by a powerful barrier.
“Where did you get this thing?!”
The desire demon was obviously frightened by the astonishing energy emitted by Mythra’s core.
She had no idea that the Arcane Brotherhood, which was regarded as a third-rate spellcasting organization, would actually hide such a trump card.
You must know that the Mythra Core is a work from the peak period of the Netherese civilization. It can make a floating city as huge as a mountain float in the sky, and create simple temporary buildings within a kilometer and a half around it. Magic items provide energy.
Even back then, only those who reached the level of Grand Arcanist were eligible to obtain a Mythra core and start building their own floating city.
Akram Grace replied with a little satisfaction: "It was found deep in the ruins of a floating city. But I don't know whether it was the goddess of magic who changed the rules of the magic net, or whether it was It was damaged during the fall. In short, it has become very unstable. Without the protection of the barrier, it is like a super arcane bomb that will explode at any time."
"What about its power? What exactly?" The demon narrowed his eyes and continued to ask.
“I think we can probably level the entire Luskan and all the surrounding buildings and roads to the ground, and form a permanent dead magic area or chaotic magic area.” Akram Gray Si guessed in an uncertain tone.
Because since the complete demise of the Netherese civilization, many technologies have been lost, and only the remaining great arcanists still master some.
Therefore, he did not know the specific working principle of Mythra's core, and the amazing destructive power it could unleash if used as a bomb.
"Very good! It seems that we already have a trump card against Soth, right?"
The Demon of Desire walked closer with light steps, stretched out his hand and touched it gently Looking at the huge crystal and the manic raw energy extracted from the magic network inside, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a playful smile.
Especially when she spread her wings to show off her nearly perfect golden proportions, everyone present immediately felt the dark beauty of corruption.
Although many people mistakenly regard succubi among demons and lust demons among demons as the same type of creatures, they both exist to lure mortals into corruption.
But there is actually a huge difference between the two.
Among them, the succubus is the one who uses desire to make mortals unknowingly walk into carefully prepared traps until they are completely immersed in them and unable to extricate themselves.
Their ability to draw life and energy out of kisses and other intimate acts is a testament to this.
But the demon of desire, who is equally beautiful and can generate endless reveries, does not have even a similar ability.
The latter is a powerful evil warrior and spell caster who can quickly enter the battlefield with the ability to fly and kill all enemies in a very short time.
Although many devil dukes prefer to use the beautiful appearance of these creatures to perform tasks similar to succubi.
The biggest difference between the two is that the succubus is not good at and does not like frontal combat, while the succubus is just the opposite.
“You want to blow up my mage tower and the entire Luskan?” Akram Grace frowned subconsciously.
The Demon of Desire smiled and shook his head: "No, I just plan to use it as a bargaining chip in negotiations. Don't forget, even if you succeed in taking back everything that belongs to you, with the current Arcane Brotherhood and Lu Skan's strength is simply not enough to fight Soth, so we must find a way to force him back first."
"What if he doesn't do this? Everything I have built over the past ten or twenty years, right?" Akram Grace's tone became stern.
You must know that both the Arcane Brotherhood and Luskan are extremely important things in his eyes, and they are important tools to realize his ambitions. "It is better to destroy it with your own hands than to leave it to the enemy. Don't forget, you are now a lich with endless lifespan. Even if you destroy it, you can still start from scratch. Anyway, for lichs, the most indispensable thing is time. ." The demon of desire shrugged nonchalantly.
"No! No! I will never allow you to do this. Luskan and the Arcane Brotherhood are mine, and you have no right to dispose of them."
< br>As expected, Akram Grace burst out with strong opposition.
It is a pity that this strong opposition quickly disappeared without a trace after the desire demon pointed at the phylactery.
Only then did he realize that he was no longer the unshakable leader of the Arcane Brotherhood, but a little lich controlled by the Lord of Hell.
Many times, he had no choice but to obey the orders given by the other party.
Of course, due to the astonishing power and unstable state of Sera's core, the desire demon was not in a hurry to move, but ordered two people to stay and guard it.
As for the others, they all followed Akram Grace and launched raids on various areas in the mage tower through hidden secret doors. Anyone who participated in the rebellion was mercilessly punished. of slaughter.
Those who did not participate and surrendered on their knees at the first opportunity were immediately incorporated into the counterattack team and rushed to the forefront as cannon fodder to prove their loyalty.
Relying on the prestige he had accumulated in the past and his familiarity with the internal structure of the mage tower, he controlled the entire lower area without much effort.
Since the early warning system was turned off immediately before the battle began, the tower owners and high-level mages at the upper level who were still arguing for power did not realize that they were in danger.
When Akram Grace regained control of the tower and led his men in, each of their faces showed expressions of shock, astonishment, panic and disbelief.
"You...how dare you come back?!"
The Lord of the North Tower stood up from his chair.
Obviously, in his understanding, even if the founder of the Arcane Brotherhood was not seriously injured and died, he should be hiding in an unknown corner and silently licking his wounds.
But it had only been a few days since the rebellion, and not only did the other party come back, but they also brought a group of powerful subordinates with them.
"Hmph! You didn't expect me to come back so soon, right?"
Akram Grace grinned with a cruel smile like a cat playing with a mouse.
As a person who is determined to retaliate, he is enjoying the joy of succeeding in revenge.
There is nothing more worth looking forward to than watching your enemy show fear and despair in front of you, and then eating him alive bit by bit.
"Damn it! This guy got the help of the devil!"
The Lord of Sita saw the desire demon and the mercenaries with purgatory blood behind her at a glance, and loudly reminded everyone in the room Others.
From the moment Akram Grace appeared, the conflicts they had fought for power and gain ceased to exist.
Instead a concerted effort must be made to deal with this greatest threat.
"Witch... Lich! Akram Grace has successfully transformed himself into a lich!"
Another high-level mage seemed to have noticed something through detection magic, and his face became furious. Big changes.
After all, before this, the last thing the entire Arcane Brotherhood and even all the forces in the North wanted to see was that Akram Grace successfully transformed himself into a lich and gained near-eternal power. life.
But now, the most worrying result is unfolding in front of them.
"Hahahaha! That's right! I am already a lich! And you... will all receive the most severe punishment under my wrath today."
Along with a burst of creepy laughter, Akram Grace's body instantly released a cold and creepy aura.
Several young apprentices seemed to have seen some terrifying influence, and they were so frightened that they immediately lost their will to resist and turned around to run out.
But before they could take a few steps, they were hit by evil necromancy magic and turned into two lifeless corpses.
Aura of fear, an ability that can only be obtained by the top and most powerful undead creatures.
Obviously, ordinary apprentices and low-level mages cannot even resist in the face of this kind of power, and their will and soul will be defeated in an instant.
However, the four tower owners were not vegetarians. After realizing the power of Akram Grace, one of them immediately summoned his pets, two pterosaurs that were carefully cultivated and tamed.
Several other people also began to prepare spells, activate magic items and scrolls, and planned to have a head-on spell confrontation with Akram Grace.
Just when a magic war was about to break out, a portal suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.
The next second...
A man wearing a bright red robe walked out from the other side of the portal.
He first looked around, and then took the initiative to say: "Everyone, if you don't mind, can you listen to me for a few words before the fight starts?"
"Who are you?"
< br>A flash of vigilance flashed in Arkham Grace's eyes.
Although he had already judged his approximate identity from the other person's clothing and the conspicuous black tattoo on his bald head, he still had to confirm it.
"My name is Aznar Sruel, I believe you must have heard of it." The man said his name meaningfully.
moment!
Whether present is Arkham Grace. The other four tower masters and high-level mages all showed expressions of surprise or surprise.
Because they really couldn’t figure out why a chief red-robed wizard would come all the way from Ser on the other side of the Faerûn continent and risk huge risks to come to the barren Northland.
Although the Arcane Brotherhood had cooperated with the red-robed wizards before, the level was limited to the concession level.
In other words, the senior management of the latter did not think highly of the former at all.
But Aznar Sruel took advantage of this opportunity and said in a leisurely pace: "By now, you should all know who the enemy you are really facing.
Yes, it is the young man who has suddenly risen in the past two years.
Right now, his fleet is approaching Luskan and may attack the city at any time.
And this one. At this time, the most important thing to do is to temporarily put aside the grudges between us and join forces to deal with the foreign enemies."
"You want me to let these traitors go?"
After realizing the other party's intention, Akram Grace's eyes quickly became hostile.
Because he felt that this guy might be on the opposite side of him.
“No, it’s not to let go, but to put it down temporarily. At least when dealing with our common enemy, we need to unite all the forces that can be united. Don’t forget, if Luskan is occupied, then even today you Successful revenge will become meaningless," Aznar Sruel explained patiently.
As the chief of the red robe wizards, he is undoubtedly a powerful legendary mage.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to become the leader of the faction within the parliament and stand at the forefront of the confrontation with Sazastan.
But rather than using violence, Aznar Sruel prefers to use the art of language to persuade the other party to cooperate with his actions.
"What is your purpose? In other words, what do you want to use us for?" Akram Grace probed very alertly.
“Of course it is to capture this young elect, obtain from his body the power granted by Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, to control all plagues, and decipher the secret of the silver fire given to the elect by the goddess of magic. And I promise that after the matter is completed, I will not only allow you to participate in the research, but also share all the results.”
Aznar Srul calmly stated the purpose of this trip and issued a prescription. conditions.
In fact, the reason why he came up with this idea was the plague that swept across the entire Northland not long ago and almost wiped out the orcs.
It was through this plague that the top leaders of the Red Robe Wizard realized the value of Zuo Si as a super strategic weapon.
As for the silver fire given to the electors by the goddess of magic, the chiefs have long been greedy.
Unfortunately, several operations against Elminster, Kelburn, Laila and Ximbu ended in disastrous failure. Over time, no one dared to take their chances anymore.
But Zuo Si is different!
The time he gained the ability to be a voter is very short, and in the eyes of the outside world, his strength is definitely not as good as those of the veteran voters.
In addition, this war gave some of the chief red robe wizards an opportunity, so they joined forces with Aznar Sruel and decided to get involved.
Garnier's unauthorized actions actually gained their acquiescence and support.
Akram Grace is obviously hesitating!
Because he knows very well that compared to the red-robed wizards, his Arcane Brotherhood is an insignificant small organization, and there are currently a lot of "rebels" within the organization who just want to die.
If you agree, there is no guarantee that the tower owners and high-level mages who participated in the rebellion will regain the strength to fight against you with the support of the other party.
But if he doesn't agree, the chief in front of him alone will be enough for him to drink a pot. If you include those traitors, it will be difficult to take advantage even with the help of the devil.
After a long silence, the desire demon finally came out from behind and said with a smile: "We agree to this cooperation. But there is one thing. After the matter is completed, Soth's soul must belong to me."
Aznar Sruel responded without thinking: "No problem. I wish us a happy cooperation. If you don't mind, can you tell me that you are serving the Duke of Hell?"
"Grand Duke Disbat, the lord of the second level of hell." The desire demon bluntly reported his master's name.
Because she knew that this sign alone could make the insidious and cunning mage in front of her fearful.
"Ah! A respectable and formidable big devil, it is an honor for me to cooperate with his men. If you don't mind, I think we should find a quiet place to talk about the specific details, what do you think?" Znar Sruer quickly extended the invitation.
The red-robed chief has discovered that the real decision-maker in the Arcane Brotherhood is no longer Akram Grace, but the astonishingly beautiful devil in front of him.
"Haha, yes. I also happen to have a happy secret to share with you. I believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to capture him."
After that, the demon of desire He walked towards the next room with Aznar Sruel, paying no attention to the tense atmosphere around him.
Because both of them knew that the internal fighting within the Arcane Brotherhood could no longer be fought.
At least Akram Grace no longer has an absolute advantage after losing the support of the devil, and the tower owners and high-level mages do not dare to act rashly and can only wait for the result in a stalemate.
It must be said that the development of things to this point has far exceeded their expectations.
But what made these people even more unexpected was that far away in Zhentil Fort, Mansong, who had just listened to Xi Manmeng's report, also made a surprising decision.
He didn't even notify anyone, and teleported directly to a wooden house in the woods outside Luskan with a few of his men.
This is a secret stronghold of the Zhentarim that even the pervasive Harpers know nothing about.
"Mentor, are you sure you want to do this? Soth is not an easy person to deal with, and he also has a strong revengeful mentality that is different from ordinary people. If these actions are discovered by him, then Zhentil Castle..."
Before Xi Manmeng finished speaking, Mansong immediately interrupted: "No, you are wrong, my apprentice. Controlling the dark intelligence network for a long time has made you lose your aggressiveness and the courage to challenge the strong. . Remember, before a threat is put into actual action, it is just a threat. Never let a threat scare you, let alone let it become a shackles that restrict your actions. It is true that Soth has great abilities. Horrible, but so what? Don’t we have enough trouble now?”
“What if he really releases the plague in Zhentil Castle?” Simon asked cautiously.
“It’s very simple! Then send all the people infected with the plague out, and expand the scope of the plague ten to a hundred times. Then there will be no need for us to take action. Those self-proclaimed righteous paladins and the Good God Church He will come forward. Since he can threaten us with plague, why can't we fight back?"
Obviously, Manson is worthy of being the founder and supreme leader of the Zhentarim Order, and he was found immediately. Ways to crack.
And he can also use these plagues to weaken his enemies and the countries he wants to invade, making them inevitably fall into civil strife.
As a typical evil mage, he doesn't care about the lives of civilians, he only cares about whether he can achieve his ambitions and goals.
If you can, then it doesn’t matter if you sacrifice all the residents of Zhentil Castle.
“That’s it!” Xi Manmeng suddenly realized, and immediately realized that he had been led into a misunderstanding by his opponent. "So, this time we are going to side with the Arcane Brotherhood?"
"Not only the Arcane Brotherhood, but also several chiefs of red-robed wizards. In those concessions, we have intelligence When the Internet launched the attack, I received some secret messages, so this was an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
When he said these words, Manson's tone revealed a strong desire.
Silver Fire!
The core and most primitive power of the Magic Network belongs only to the goddess of magic.
As long as he can seize this power, he can further surpass all arcane spellcasters and even become a demigod.
Zuo Si still didn’t know that he had unknowingly become the so-called “Tang Monk Meat” in this conspiracy, and many people wanted to pounce on him and take a bite.
Similarly, when these evil forces gathered in the North, Kelben also received urgent information from the Harper Alliance.
Especially the strange atmosphere between the red robe wizards and the Zhentarim, as well as the large number of suspicious people who frequent the tower of the Luskan Arcane Brotherhood, made this powerful elect feel uneasy.
Just when he was hesitating whether to go there in person, Alustriel suddenly teleported over and said in a serious tone: "Something big happened! According to the information obtained by one of my spies lurking within the Zhentarim. According to the information, several chiefs of the red robe wizards have joined forces with Manson, and together with the Arcane Brotherhood, it is very likely that they are targeting Soth. "
"The purpose is. ? What is their purpose in dealing with Soth?" Kelben asked with a frown.
Alustriel shook his head: "This is not clear yet. But I think he should be informed immediately to lead the fleet back and stop the plan to attack and occupy Luskan. There is very likely to be a Huge trap. By the way, where is Laila? "
"Lila went to Halua, the country of mages, to try to promote some life-style magic at the behest of the goddess. She probably won't be able to come back for a while. In addition, I don't think Soth will be the kind of character who listens to others' advice. . So we should be ready for rescue at any time. No matter what these guys are planning, we must not let them succeed."
Kelben quickly made a judgment on the current situation.
As a person who doesn't like to make troubles, he really couldn't understand why Zuo Si was like a magnet, causing a series of troubles and problems wherever he went.
"Damn it! I'll contact Simbu and Storm, you go notify Elminster and Dove. Remember to keep in touch at all times."
After saying this, Ailas Zhuo then hurriedly cast teleportation magic and disappeared without a trace.
She remembered very clearly that the last time she contacted so many voters of the Magic Goddess was when Sammaster attacked her out of jealousy.
But at that time, neither side had the intention to kill each other.
But this time, facing the top power of the Zhentarim and the red-robed wizards, everyone must go all out.
After all, both Manson and the chief red-robed wizard have fought against the chosen ones of the goddess of magic more than once. Both sides are very aware of the powerful power the other party possesses.
Similarly, Kelben also teleported directly to Elminster's residence in Shadow Valley after packing up his belongings.
