Chapter 447 The Birth of the New Dragon King (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
Baragas "Flying Flame" is undoubtedly a crazy, cruel, and violent creature, more evil than most colored dragons and likes to kill, The red dragon of destruction.
In Amn's records alone, there are more than a hundred records of him attacking towns.
The most serious one even surpassed Askatra's defenses and landed directly in the middle of the city, destroying a scholar's house and devouring the scholar himself.
As for the reason, it is said that it may be the paper published by the scholar which revealed that Balagas suffers from a very rare mental disease unique to dragons-insomnia.
It is also this disease that makes him far more diligent, active, and energetic than others of his kind, instead of staying in the nest and sleeping all day long.
In addition, Balagos also likes to publicize and expand his reputation through some public executions, so that more mortals will fear and awe him.
For example, slowly landing on the ruins created by one's own hands in a majestic manner, or dropping a mutilated corpse from a high altitude into a crowded area.
In addition, anyone who has ever provoked or offended him will inevitably suffer crazy revenge.
If the enemy's strength is too strong, then Balagas will choose to attack the opponent's weaknesses, such as killing spouses, friends, relatives, and destroying homes and towns where they live.
In short, this ancient red dragon can be said to be a very typical evil dragon. It will never allow anyone to violate or resist its own will, otherwise it will only end in death.
The reason why he is so famous is because he is too active and has caused huge threats and destruction to the entire Amn League and surrounding areas.
This is completely different from the fact that the "Sharp Teeth" of Ivicola Sagram did not come out for nearly a hundred years after destroying the Shane Empire, mainly to collect taxes.
The title of Dragon King is based on countless killings and destruction.
Those dragons that are stronger than Balagas are not as active as him, and the young dragons that are more active than this guy are far less powerful than him.
Coupled with his vengeful character and unscrupulous behavior, he has become a huge security risk for the newly established trade alliance, so he was targeted by Zuo Si and regarded as a target that must be eradicated.
Right now, this ancient red dragon, who was once arrogant and believed that he could rule the entire dragon race through brutal means, led them to destroy all cities and civilizations, leaving only those weak and submissive races as food. For once, he tasted what it felt like to be the same kind that he had crushed over with his size advantage.
Frustrated!
Powerless!
No matter how hard you struggle, you can't break free!
At this moment, Wilmes was like a "weird aunt" with big arms, round waist and exploding muscles. She pushed Baragas, the "little young lady", to the ground and repeatedly tortured her.
Perhaps at the beginning, he could still use the blessing's protection and strengthening spells to fight back and forth.
At least with the resistance of [Iron Bone], [Stone Skin Technique], and [Shield Technique], plus the advantages brought by [Tamson Transformation Technique] and [Acceleration Technique], both sides can bear The damage can be said to be almost the same.
But the problem is that as time goes by, the [Acceleration Spell] with the shortest duration disappears quickly.
After all, this transformation magic only adds six seconds for each additional casting level.
Even if calculated according to LV20, it is only one hundred and twenty seconds, which is about two minutes.
Following the disappearance of [Acceleration Technique] was [Tamson Transformation Technique].
The transformation magic also adds six seconds to each casting level, which adds up to just over two minutes.
If the disappearance of [Acceleration] only slows down Balagas's movement speed, attack frequency, and reaction, then the disappearance of [Tamson Transformation] completely makes him lose the ability to stay close to him. The last resort in hand-to-hand combat.
Not to mention anything else, just a sudden reduction of four points of strength, constitution and agility attributes is very fatal.
You must know that in terms of strength and physique, he was already far different from Wilmes, who was nearly three times his size, and now he was even more suppressed and had no power to fight back.
Not to mention the massive hand-to-hand combat skills that were poured into the brain, the tolerance for pain, and the cold thinking like a fighting machine that disappeared with it.
In comparison, the advantage of being able to recast the spell after removing [Tamson's Transformation Spell] is basically negligible.
Because at heart Balagas is actually the same as Wilmes, a warrior dragon who prefers to use fangs, claws and flame-breathing weapons.
Such as cleave, leap attack, hover, mastery of initiative, delayed breath, multi attack, power attack, ingestion, flip and other skills, it is called a thief to play.
Among them, diving down from the sky and accurately ejecting powerful high-temperature flames at the moment of high-speed movement can be called a "unique skill", and it also won the title of "Flying Flame".
But you have to mention spell-casting skills...
I'm sorry, Balagas is really not very good at it.
It doesn’t matter that he has a natural LV20 warlock spellcasting level, but in fact he doesn’t even have a decent metamagic skill.
This also means that during fierce melee combat, it is impossible to imitate Ivy Kelasaglan's "Sharp Teeth" and use skills such as instant spells. You can only release one or two different ones in the neutral position. Low-level spells that require too many spells to be chanted or complex casting actions required.
And this kind of spell is probably too light to attack Wilmes, who is nearly 150 meters long and has exploding muscles all over his body. Even scratching it is too light.
So Balagas can only use spells like [Giant Transformation], [Ox Power], [Cat Elegance] and other spells to strengthen himself.
As for the best flame breath, it is completely useless against similar creatures that are immune to fire damage.
The two red dragons fought from the ground to the sky, and then from the sky to the ground. Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, they staged a "Dragon King Battle".
The flames they accidentally sprayed out during the battle had already caused the mountains and forests within a radius of several kilometers or even more than ten kilometers to begin to burn violently.
The animals and various monster tribes screamed and turned into ashes in a sea of fire.
Whether it is the rulers and mages in Zazesibo City, or other dragons, ogre magicians and some creatures with relatively high intelligence living near the Xingxuan Mountains, they are all hiding in the dark and watching closely of everything that's happening.
Those silver dragons who like to meddle in other people's affairs, or the golden dragons who are full of justice, now do not dare to make even the slightest sound.
Because these dragons know that no matter whether Balagas or Wilmes wins the final victory, their situation will not change in any way.
At best, it is just changing from one tyrant to another more powerful tyrant.
But what they didn't know was that their secret observation behavior had long been captured by Kurremos and Ximanmeng, and the locations of the nests were recorded one by one.
These two old bastards will not easily let go of such an opportunity to count how many dragons and other high-level magical creatures live in the Star Swirl Mountains.
Kulremus, in particular, also left magical marks near some dragons' lairs, and it is unknown what they are planning.
Of course, Wilmes didn't care about his little actions and didn't bother to pay attention to them.
Now all the latter can think about is how to tear Balagas into pieces alive while preventing him from escaping.
At present, the Purgatory Red Dragon has bitten off the latter's wings from his body, and even blinded one of the opponent's eyes with its claws.
If it weren’t for the unknown healing props used, Balagas might have turned into a corpse lying on the ground.
"You are finished! Fei Yan! In a few minutes at most, I will take away everything that originally belongs to you! I will be the leader of all the people from Baldur's Gate to Amn to Tethyr. The Disputed Dragon King!”
Vilmes opened his mouth stained red with blood and declared victory.
Although she was also seriously injured, the scales in some places were almost peeled off during the battle, and blood kept flowing down the wounds.
But at this time, the advantages of rigorously trained muscles in resisting blows are revealed.
Balagas' bites and claws can cause fatal damage to other dragons. In front of Wilmes, at best, they can only scratch the scales and leave a bite mark on the tense muscles. Or a scratch, but it's still far from hurting the internal organs, blood vessels and arteries.
In addition, the latter is larger and can withstand more attacks, so the outcome of the battle is doomed from the moment the two sides get entangled.
"I admit defeat! Let me go! I am willing to hand over all the treasures, names and servants I own to you, and I am even willing to surrender to you."
Balagas Suffering from the severe pain that came from every corner of his body, he finally could no longer maintain his usual proud posture.
He was too weak, so weak that he had no strength to fight back.
The chest was torn open and blood was constantly spurting out. You could even see the huge beating heart inside.
As one of the most famous tyrants in Faerûn, Balagos knew that if he continued to fight, he would definitely die, without even the slightest hope of victory.
In addition, he also wanted to find out what was going on with the purgatory red dragon in front of him.
Why do you have such an unnaturally huge body shape and an innate spellcasting ability that people don’t know how to describe?
"Treasure? Surrender?"
Vilmes's eyes instantly lit up, and he was obviously a little moved.
After all, she left Zuo Si's mage tower to set up her own business, and one of her most important goals was to gain more wealth.
And having a once-famous veteran Dragon King surrender at his feet can also give him an indescribable sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
Seeing that the opponent stopped attacking, Balagas immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly added: "I have an artifact [Mythril Chain of Sorrow] that can help you capture and tame other giant dragons. Serve yourself.
I myself have used this artifact to tame many teenage dragons.
Nowadays, there is a young brown dragon and a black dragon who are faithfully fulfilling their duties of guarding the lair for me.
In addition, I can also provide an amazingly powerful [Fire Scepter of Dark Onaga].
It can release magic like meteor burst, delayed burst fireball, flame meteor shower, fire wall, fireball, control of flames, etc.
As for other lower-level magic items, there are more.
I promise you won't be disappointed with these treasures. ”
In the continent of Faerûn, there has been a saying that the only way to judge whether a greedy red dragon really surrenders is whether it is willing to give up the treasures it has collected over the years.
< br>Obviously, Balagas was really convinced after doing this, and he no longer had any thoughts of revenge.
There is only one thing he wants to do now. , that is to save one’s own life.
“Tsk, tsk, what a tempting proposal. ”
Wilmes' pupils flashed with naked and undisguised greed, and at the same time he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.
But the next second...
She suddenly stretched out her claws without warning and slammed the opponent's head onto the huge rock on the ground that had been burned red. Go up, said with a ferocious smile: "It's a pity that I can only refuse! Because Soth has clearly emphasized that guys like you and Klaus must die."
"What?! Soth? That magic goddess And the chosen one of the Goddess of Poison and Disease? A powerful purgatory red dragon like you actually wants to obey him?"
Balagas's eyes widened in horror, and he struggled desperately to get away from him? control.
"Hmph! A frog in the well like you who only bullies the weak has no idea how powerful and terrifying Soth is.
As long as he is willing, killing you will definitely not be much more difficult than crushing a bedbug.
So go and die, I will slowly find out the treasures you left behind.
From now on, your title of Dragon King belongs to me."< br>
As the last word blurted out, Wilmes opened his bloody mouth and bit it down hard.
"No!!!!!!!!!"
Under the control of survival instinct, Balagas finally broke through his limit and completed the rapid casting in a very weird posture.
In an instant!
A giant claw almost three meters long and wrapped in black appeared out of thin air and hit Wilmes' head hard, knocking him off his original trajectory.
“This is... the unique evocation spell [Suffocating Claw] invented by Elminster?”
Ximanmeng showed an expression of incredible shock.
As the controller of the Zhentarim's dark intelligence network and Manzon's most proud disciple, he is very familiar with the power of several of the Chosen of the Magic Goddess.
Especially the signature spells they each invented, they have long been deeply remembered in their minds.
This is called [Suffocating Claw] five-ring magic. Its essence is the transformation and supplement of the Bigby Big Hand series of magic.
Different from the former which only exists in the form of a transparent force field, the big black hand in front of you is tangible and can withstand all kinds of damage like a normal creature (although most attack spells have no effect). and can be destroyed by disintegration and dispel magic.
In addition, the caster's level and corresponding main spellcasting attributes (intelligence for mages, charm for warlocks) can further enhance the palm to a certain extent.
"Interesting! This is so interesting!
Dear Ximanmeng, I suddenly feel that it seems a waste to let Balagos die like this.
Maybe...
We should squeeze his remaining value a little
What do you think? "
Kulremos's eyes flashed with a sinister and cunning light.
Xi Manmeng nodded without thinking: "I completely agree. But you have to ask Lord Wilmes for his opinion first. You must know that this is her territory, and she doesn't like anyone interfering in her battle. "
"Haha, you are as cautious as ever. "
Kulremos glanced at the other party, and then walked out in his current humanoid form. He first shot out a dazzling green light and used a dimensional anchor to stop Balagas from thinking. In an attempt to escape using teleportation magic, he then struck "Feiyan" with a crushing palm and pinned him to the ground from a hillside more than ten meters high.
"Asshole! What are you doing? How dare you interfere in my fight!"
When Wilmes came back to his senses, he was instantly furious, exuding an extremely violent and dangerous aura.
But Kurremos put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly, and explained nonchalantly: "Great Wilmes, please don't misunderstand me. I have no intention of interfering with you in winning the title of Dragon King. , I simply feel that it would be too cheap to kill this guy directly."
"What do you mean?"
Vilmes blinked in confusion, feeling a little confused. The shortcomings of using it are now fully reflected.
"I mean, don't you think Balagas should be tortured before killing him?
For example, ask him how many lairs he has and where he hides his treasures? Where.
After asking, drain the blood from all over the body, then skin and bones, package and sell it to those rich mages.
Of course, I personally recommend imprisoning it. Get up and keep bleeding.
You must know that the blood of the ancient red dragon has always been a priceless good in the magic material market, which can bring a steady stream of gold coins.
It doesn't matter if you are not good at this, Ximanmeng and I will be very happy to do it for you.
After all, we are all working for the master now, isn’t it natural to help each other? ”
Culremus took full advantage of his eloquence and described his attempt to dig out more magical knowledge and intelligence as thinking about the other party.
In terms of conspiracy, ten Wilmes together are no match for this evil brass dragon
In the end, after repeatedly considering the gains and losses, Wilmes said: " I can leave Balagas to you to deal with, but he and his treasure belong to me, and none of you can take away half of the copper. ”
"Of course! We will not have any objections to this."
Kulremos, who achieved his goal effortlessly, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and a glint of pride flashed in his eyes.
Every time he crushes Wilmes in terms of IQ, he can get some kind of strong pleasure and satisfaction from it.
With the new agreement reached, Balagos was soon dragged into a nearby cave like a dead dog.
About ten minutes or so, blood-curdling screams and heart-rending wails came from inside.
No one knows what happened.
But the giant dragons and other intelligent creatures living in the Star Swirl Mountains know one thing, that is, Balagas is completely finished.
From now on, the new Dragon King who calls himself Wilmes will rule this area.
A few smarter barbarians, orcs, goblins, gnolls and other tribes have begun to think about how to embrace this thick and strong thigh.
Others began to take inventory of their belongings, taking out all the stolen items such as gems, gold and silver, works of art, fine arts, etc., polishing them, and looking for opportunities to offer them to them.
The nearest human city, Zhaze Sibo, was in an uproar at this moment.
Magicians and scholars are fiercely debating where this purgatory red dragon named Wilmes came from, what he has done, what his personality is, why he is so huge, etc. The most important thing is that the noble council does not know whether to make a donation to it in exchange for the other party not attacking the city or even the surrounding villages.
Don’t find it funny!
This is the truest reaction of many towns and villages in Faerûn when they face the powerful red dragon.
Under normal circumstances, most cities would rather maintain peace by paying tribute than take the huge risk of going to war with them.
Some areas even levy a tax called "Dragon Tax" from civilians. As you can tell from the name, it is specially used to support the dragons.
It is estimated that Wilmes will be rolling on the floor with joy after hearing the news.
After all, Zuo Si prohibited her from plundering towns and caravans, but she was not prohibited from receiving the benefits that others offered her.
If the other party gives enough, she doesn't even mind acting as the other party's protective umbrella, or providing some extra help during the war.
If Wilmes has learned anything during his years with Zuo Si, it is undoubtedly the endless variety of "legal" ways to make money.
As for the pride and dignity of the red dragon, they have long been thrown into the sewer and washed away.
How much is pride worth?
How much is dignity worth?
This guy has even thought about selling revenge agreements in various cities in the south after his reputation as Dragon King spreads.
No matter who is willing to pay a sum of money every year, she will personally be responsible for revenge after being attacked by monsters, beasts and bandits.
......
Zuo Si still doesn't know about the battle between Wilmes and Balagas' "Flying Flame".
After two or three days of hard work, he was standing at the edge of the training field in the mage tower, watching the training between the demon elf assassins Feide and Atona.
It must be said that the assassin profession is really not very good at frontal combat.
Even though Fede's ability to fight head-on among assassins was already very strong, and he also had a certain warrior profession, he was still being pressed down and beaten by the succubus loli who was only about two-thirds of his height, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
The one to four-level spells she mastered have no effect at all under the suppression of the magic of the special profession of the Knight of Truth.
After a short while, Atona swung her long whip and hit her ankle with a snap, then pulled her back forcefully, forcibly dragging the demon elf assassin in front of her, and swung the giant decapitating sword. On the other person's neck.
“You lost again!”
A faint smile appeared on Succubus Loli’s delicate and beautiful face, and she immediately put away her weapon, especially since her ankle was seriously injured Burning flame whip.
"Damn it! Isn't there a normal person in this tower? They are all obviously young, but they are all as strong as monsters. No, no, you are just a bunch of little monsters."
Feed's side He complained crazily while sitting on the ground imagelessly, baring his teeth and touching the traces of severe burns near his ankles.
Just now, she had had a sparring match with Fangus and the other little werewolves, but the result was the same as now, with no power to fight back.
Without the use of deadly poison, it would be difficult to even sustain it for more than three minutes.
"Haha, what, your self-esteem and self-confidence have been hit? I have said long ago that in terms of combat effectiveness, you are not ranked among my men at all."
Zuo Si joked with a smile, quickly released the healing magic, and gently pressed his fingers on the ankle of the demon elf assassin.
When the white light flashed, the traces of severe burns completely disappeared, leaving only a large area of white, smooth and delicate skin, and black tattoos that seemed to be tattooed on the skin.
"Then why do you still take me in? Is it because you covet my beauty?" Feide asked in an uncertain tone.
Although the reputation of demon-born elves is not very good, because they are a hybrid of succubi and elves, their general appearance and figure are relatively in line with human aesthetics.
Coupled with the fact that magic patterns, horns, and tails can bring some otherworldly style, it is not surprising that some people's XP will be poked.
After all, in this magical land of Faerûn, there are dwarfs who like to drive big cars to find female barbarians, there are also strong orcs who are interested in legal loli halfling women, and there are even some who fall in love with the golems they created. The mage of love.
It's not surprising to like humanoids with some demonic or infernal blood.
In fact, there is a special store in Ascatra to provide services for those XP outliers.
Zuo Size rolled his eyes angrily: "You? Beauty? Stop making trouble. How can you be related to the word beauty? If I am interested in beauty, I can do it at any time. You can summon hundreds of succubi and lust demons to satisfy your desires. "Then why? You should at least let me know what your value and role are."
< br>
Fede became visibly confused.
Because the education I received in my childhood emphasized more than once that waste is not worthy of living.
So she has been trying to be a valuable person to prevent being treated like garbage.
"Because your soul is very interesting, very, very interesting."
After saying that, Zuo Si stood up and said something to the attendant of the God of Nature beside him.
The latter understood, and immediately walked over and bowed slightly and asked: "Master, do you have any instructions?"
"In the next few days, you will personally formulate a training plan for her. , to ensure that she will not be beaten like this in a frontal battle."
Zuo Si gave the order very simply.
Although strictly speaking, the assassin profession relies on unexpected sneak attacks and backstabbing to eliminate enemies.
But this fighting method does not fit in with his positioning of the role played by the demon elves.
"Understood! Please don't worry, I will complete this task perfectly."
Nimedona agreed without hesitation.
This is really not difficult for her as a servant of the Blazing God.
And because he has the ability to heal and resurrect, even if he strikes hard and severely injures or maims the training target, or simply kills him accidentally, two high-level magical spells can hit the opponent. Resurrection in place without leaving even a single scar.
Feed's keen sixth sense seemed to sense the danger, and he immediately began to subconsciously retreat slowly.
But before he could run very far, Nimidona caught him, and then the entire training room emitted the painful and desperate screams of the Demon Elf Assassin.
Seeing that Feide's intensive training had begun, Zuo Si took advantage of this time to deal with the matter of disbanding the existing army and recruiting new troops.
There is no doubt that violent institutions like the military will inevitably cause a series of turbulence and social problems when they are demobilized on a large scale in any country or region, so they must be properly settled.
However, considering that the Amn army was lying flat from top to bottom, Zuo Si's strong character would definitely not be able to bring them much benefit.
So many officers organized their soldiers to cause trouble at the beginning, but as expected they were suppressed mercilessly.
Zuo Si proved his determination to everyone with his ruthless means of exiling a hundred and fifty bloody heads, as well as more than 1,500 soldiers and immediate family members into exile on the Maztec continent.
The advantage of doing this is that it can not only enrich the population of the port cities in the New World and gain a firm foothold, but also eliminate hidden dangers once and for all.
Currently, the recruitment office has recruited about 600 adventurers and mercenaries, as well as almost 3,000 young people from the countryside who have received certain military and warrior training.
If normal procedures are followed, they must receive at least three months of discipline training before learning how to build formations, understand officers' commands, and use different weapons to fight.
According to the tradition of many cities in Faerûn, it takes at least three years to train a skilled veteran.
During this period, they must continue to participate in battles against goblins, orcs, kobolds and other monsters.
But Zuo Si obviously didn't have that much time to wait for the new recruits to grow up.
He directly used some special means, including but not limited to providing water and food from the Zendikar space and time for the soldiers, brewing large quantities of potions that can strengthen their physical fitness for them to drink, and equipping them with A closed smart helmet with partial mobile terminal functions.
With so many auxiliary means, they can turn into a powerful legion that is impressive in a month or two at most.
Of course, Zuo Si did not plan to recruit too many elite troops like this, which required high costs. Keeping the scale at around 8,000 to 10,000 people was enough.
Looking at the soldiers wearing smart helmets for simulation and combat training on the training ground, Vera couldn't help but sigh softly: "My dear master, your methods are really awe-inspiring.
This is After a few days, the foundation of a powerful army was laid quietly.
Whether it is the magic helmets that can play a decisive role in training and combat, they can also make the body stronger. The medicine, food, and water that make you stronger are something I have never heard of or seen before.
With these things, even a group of farmers can be quickly trained into qualified or even excellent warriors. br>
Perhaps only those war trolls transformed through magic can barely compare with it. ”
Zuo Si smiled and shook his head and explained: "Maybe you won't believe it, but the fundamental purpose of building this army is not for war, but for political considerations.
After all, no matter what Amn at your feet is still Baldur's Gate, West Heartland or the Dragon Coast. Its main residents are humans and dwarves, elves, halflings and gnomes who are relatively close to humans.
So in. When fighting and ruling in these places, it is best for the army to be mainly composed of humans rather than other races. This will make it easier for the local residents to accept and regard them as one of their own.
Otherwise, it is easy to trigger some subtle resistance. Emotion.
If it's just about killing efficiency, I actually have a better choice.
As for the war trolls, some of my men have already done in-depth research in this area.
Many of the troll gladiators in Dragonlance Castle are individuals created in experiments, and their technology is very mature.
Even after removing the weakness that fire can prevent trolls from regenerating, only strong acid still poses a threat to them.
As long as I am willing, I can capture the trolls in the forests, wilderness and swamps at any time and transform them in large quantities to make them have sufficient intelligence and obedience.
If you are interested in this, I can say hello and ask them to sell a batch to you as a guard. ”
"Oh? Really! Thank you so much!
I have always believed that trolls with nearly infinite regeneration capabilities are simply born warriors.
It's a pity that their brains are not It is too bright and is always easily dominated by hunger.
If it can gain enough intelligence and obedience, it will definitely be able to form the most powerful army in the world. ”
When saying these words, Vera's whole body revealed a strong excitement and expectation.
In fact, dangerous creatures like war trolls are not uncommon. They can be seen in many mercenary organizations, and most of them are created through various weird experiments.
A cautious mage will obviously not allow such a terrifying monster that may lose its mind once it becomes hungry to stay around, so they often choose to sell it or send it out to fend for themselves.
War Troll mercenaries are very popular due to their powerful regeneration abilities.
Hiring them requires a price of at least thirty gold coins per day.
If the troll has a warrior level of no less than LV4, it can earn at least seventy-five gold coins every day.
This ability to make money is enough to make human mercenaries look envious and jealous.
In the world of Eberron next door to Toril, war troll mercenaries often appear on the battlefield in large numbers.
"Remember not to buy too much. These guys are pure carnivores. If you can't feed them, they will become the biggest safety hazard." Zuo Si couldn't help but remind him.
In his opinion, raising war trolls is far less cost-effective than raising goblin wolves.
After all, the latter is larger in size and has higher basic attributes. Although its regeneration ability is worse than that of the troll, it is not without it, and its obedience is fully maxed out, even if it is whipped to death. Create a little sense of resistance.
"Please don't worry, I just plan to buy a few to play with and see if I can train them into high-level warriors.
Oh, I almost forgot, here is another letter from the nobles of the southern Kingdom of Tethyr
Since His Majesty Shane VII occupied the coastal stronghold of Memnon, he began a military campaign to conquer the Kingdom of Tethyr.
Many nobles were advancing with his army. He lost everything including his territory and title.
If nothing else happens, those guys who were still fighting among themselves will soon unite. ”
As she spoke, Vera took out a thick stack of probably dozens of letters stamped with the family seal from her pocket, revealing undisguised schadenfreude in her tone.
It is not difficult to tell from the disdainful expression on her face that she does not look down on the other party at all.
Zuo Si was not even interested in taking a look, he lit it directly and threw it to the ground: "No need to look at it. Don't these idiots know the relationship between me and Xia En VII? You actually want me to send troops to help them?"
"Hahahaha! They have no choice.
After all, the Kingdom of Tessel is relatively isolated. Isolated place.
Since the relationship between the previous kings and the forest elves was very tense, there must be no allies within the country.
In addition, Shane VII had already cut off the roads around Steam Lake in advance, so the only thing they could do was to ask for help from Amn in the north.
However, there is news that someone has seen Elminster's scribe Heo in Tethyr.
He now calls himself King Hared III, and begins to have frequent contact with the great nobles who hold the title of duke. ”
Vera obviously knew about the hostile relationship between the object of her allegiance and the Harper Alliance, so she specifically told this rumor with some gossip.
"Scribe of Elminster?
Hared III?
The great sage of Shadow Valley really stretches his hands long enough.
Give me a message to Shane VII, asking him to uproot the aristocracy of Tethyr and leave no one behind.
Those who participated in the resistance will be killed, and the rest will be captured as well. Captive.
I will contact a few slave merchants in Ser later and just package and sell to them directly.
As for how to rule after cleaning up, I have my own way. "
Zuo Si sneered and issued a bloody order that could affect thousands of lives and deaths.
He knew too well the way Elminster and the Harper played tricks, and he understood this Hared III is probably of some royal or noble origin, and he intends to use this to unite the aristocrats of the Kingdom of Tethyr so that they can temporarily put aside their grievances and join forces to deal with foreign enemies.
< br>In this case, Zuo Suixing asked Xia En VII to drive out the entire aristocratic class and kill everyone
Anyway, he is not a local aboriginal, and he does not think that it is impossible to rule the country without the aristocracy that monopolizes knowledge and education power.
Whether it is the large number of scholars in Calimport, the large group of merchants in Amn, or the bureaucrats cultivated by Nelanthel Islands and Luskan over the years, they can be perfectly replaced.
If that doesn't work, Zuo Si can still transfer some from the Floating City, or let some of the players come over.
If the civilians dare to join in the trouble, they should follow the example of their loving father and send them all to the cold Luskan in the north to grow potatoes and mine.
As a person that Ben calls a perfect tyrant, he will not be the least bit merciless when dealing with this kind of thing.
Similarly, Xia En VII did not care at all about the possible consequences of massacring the nobles.
Because after defeating Tethyr, he can just hold the spark and happily become a planeswalker, exploring the endless universe and all kinds of strange worlds.
Want to take revenge afterwards?
Then you have to find where the person is first.
"As you wish..."
Vera seemed to have seen the sight of the nobles of the Kingdom of Tethyr bleeding into rivers, and the incompetent rage displayed by Elminster's self-defeating act. The corners of her mouth raised crazily, and she immediately turned and left on horseback.
There is no doubt that as the all-out confrontation between Zuo Si and the Harper Alliance officially begins, the entire west coast of Faerûn has turned into a huge battlefield.
Elminster will do everything in his power to prevent the birth of a vast empire from wherever he sees fit.
When West Heartland's plan was discovered and aborted, he quickly changed his direction and started attacking the Kingdom of Tethyr.
Compared to Zuo Si, Xia En VII, who is a demi-lich, is obviously easier to deal with.
What's more, what the Harper has to deal with is not King Shane VII himself, but his legions of humans and goblin werewolves...
(End of Chapter)
