Chapter 137 Eagle Chamber of Commerce
In a manor in the wealthy area of Mokou Town.
An angry roar came, so loud that even the roof seemed to tremble.
Inside is a very strong man with glittering gold all over his body. He is wearing a lot of gold jewelry. Around his neck is an extremely expensive jewelry necklace. Six of his ten fingers have various values. Amazing magic ring.
At this moment, he was roaring at the people standing in a row in front of him, shouting angrily: "Asshole! Idiot!"
"You are a bunch of trash! You have such a huge geographical advantage and you can still be attacked! I really want to twist your heads off! You were found so easily and eradicated!"
In the hall stood a group of subordinates sweating coldly. Among them, a thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks and a bloody gauze wrapped around his head hesitated for a moment and whispered:
"President, we are from the Dead Rat Gang. We all followed your instructions, and we were absolutely not lazy. Even Elminster from Shadow Valley would frown upon seeing the guards and traps we set up in the sewers.”
"Fart!" The man called the president roared angrily and shouted:
"Then how the hell did you get breached? The Eagle Chamber of Commerce spent money to support so many The Rat Man’s men and the Dire Rats couldn’t even stop a dozen adventurers!”
"Bang!"
The strong man was so angry that he picked up the chair next to him and smashed it over, hitting the thin subordinate until his head was covered with blood. He sat on the ground, holding his head and moaning in pain. wailing.
“These are extraordinary times.” The strong man seemed to have vented enough, and his tone involuntarily slowed down.
"Even the Zhentarim are no match for them. What can we do to fight them? Originally, I planned to rely on the Dead Rat Gang in the sewers to wait until the people from Ghost City attacked Mokou Town to fight again. Take back control of the town. Now that the rats from the Dead Rat Gang have been wiped out, how can we get back out of the situation and take over the town? "
"Tell me!" Zhuang. The tall man's suddenly raised voice startled all his subordinates, "Is the person responsible for attacking the Dead Rat Gang personally commanded by the newly appointed lord?"
"No." Another guy with a big belly took over and said quickly:
"It's Lando, the son of 'Fat Catfish' Graal. They know the terrain of the sewer very well and use the invisibility scroll to become invisible. They rushed to the lair of the Dead Rat Gang, and then each person threw at least five fireball scrolls. The power of the explosion directly caused all the Skaven and Dire Rats of the Dead Rat Gang to be burned alive and buried. Those who escaped by chance were also killed. All the people guarding the perimeter were killed."
"Bang!"
The strong man picked up another chair and threw it over, roaring:
" What a bunch of stupid pigs! Even if you find the location of your lair, you can still let people touch it quietly. Are your sensitive noses covered in your crotches? You are just a bunch of idiots!"
After venting, the strong man took a deep breath, forced to calm down the anger in his heart, and said to everyone:
"What should we do now? This newly appointed lord not only implemented the abolition of slavery in Mokou Town, The system also ordered us to release all the slaves in the mining area and manor within three days, hand over the territory, and take our people out of Mokou Town. If we dare to disobey, their troops will crush us in Mokou Town. All the forces in Kou Town."
After a short moment of silence, the pot-bellied guy covered his head that was still bleeding, looked at their president carefully, and made suggestions:
"President, you have just said that our current forces cannot confront them head-on. If this is the case, we will temporarily agree to any conditions they propose, liberate all slaves, and let our few remaining subordinates All mixed into the slave team, and then left Mokou Town to ask for help from Prince Selant. "Nine levels of hell! I think so, because that's all I can do at the moment." The man cursed through gritted teeth and agreed with his subordinate's opinion.
In fact, he had already received the new notification.
The army personally commanded by Cormyr's King Yazen V has occupied most of the territory on the Dragon Coast, approaching the west gate of the most prosperous trading port.
And his master, Prince Celant, is responsible for temporarily managing the internal affairs of the kingdom.
Now, Prince Selant is taking advantage of this opportunity to begin contact with the Zhentarim, and has also contacted many raiders and mercenaries from Jondas.
At the same time, he was also asked to stay in Mokou Town in a low profile. When the people from Yinhun City counterattack, he would cooperate with the hobgoblin army from the Mokou Mountains to take control of Mokou Town.
The Zhentarim worship Bane, the god of tyranny.
During the Arcane Catastrophe, Magrubier, the patron saint of goblins and hobgoblins, became Bane's follower, allowing the Zhentarim to gain full support from the hobgoblin army from the Mokou Mountains.
So, as long as he stays low-key in Mokou Town, once the opportunity comes, he can become the ruler of Mokou Town as quickly as possible like the new lord.
However, what he didn't expect was that the rats and the group of ferocious rats he had placed in the sewers of Mokou Town would all be buried alive overnight.
Without the help of the rat people and the dire rats, it would be extremely difficult for him to cooperate with the hobgoblin army to occupy Mokou Town.
And he also faced the situation of having all his property confiscated and forcibly driven out of Mokou Town.
"President Philip, I have investigated the information about the lord of Mokou Town clearly." At this moment, a subordinate in charge of intelligence said.
“Speak quickly.” President Philip said gloomily.
“I got all this information from the spies of the Zhentarim.” This tall and thin subordinate, Li Yu, said clearly to everyone:
“According to the intelligence, This lord named Bryan is not a Cormyr from the Imperial City of Suzal and the City of Arabe at all. He first appeared in Manto Dris in the Underdark, and was captured by Ancient Orens as a slave. The first family of the city purchased it, and in the end, he managed to escape from the drow city and helped the gray dwarves of Aldus King City complete the replacement of the Deep King.”
"Then how did he get the Purple Dragon Seal Ring?" President Philip was shocked by Brian's experience. He pretended to be calm and asked the question he was most concerned about at the moment.
At this moment, everyone in Mokou Town knew that the newly appointed lord was wearing a purple dragon seal ring of the highest quality.
Generally speaking, only those who have made great contributions to the entire kingdom, the royal family will give rings engraved with the Purple Dragon Seal of Obaisqil to these heroic knights who protect the country, or who have made great pioneering achievements. Lord. However, the life experience of this half-elf wizard named Brian was like a blank sheet of paper before Manto Driss. No matter how hard the Zhentarim intelligence organization and spies tried to dig out, they could not find out. release any information.
The most important thing is that Prince Selant, the younger brother of King Yazen V of Cormyr, is also confused.
But it was such an unknown person who received the highest honor symbolizing the Kingdom of Cormyr.
Anyone in their right mind would be suspicious of his true identity.
“I don’t know this either, and I don’t know anything about the Zhentarim’s Chamber of Commerce stronghold in Mantor Driss.” The subordinate hesitated for a moment, then continued:
“ However, according to the news from the spies from Aldus King City, when the lord named Brian was in the Underdark, there was a young human girl who was inseparable from him, but after arriving on the surface, the girl seemed to disappear out of thin air. Same."
"What does she look like?" President Philip asked quickly with a look on his face.
"This beautiful girl is a sword mage. Her most striking features are her long brown hair and silver-grey eyes..." The subordinate pondered for a moment and detailed the girl's appearance.
Brown-red long hair and silver-gray eyes?
Or a sword mage?
Hearing this, President Philip frowned.
Three months ago, he received a secret order from Prince Selant, asking him to pay attention to a human girl with long brown-red hair and silver-gray eyes.
Her profession is also that of a sword mage.
If you encounter him in Mokou Town, don’t hesitate to assassinate him secretly.
He also accidentally learned from other colleagues that in order to achieve this goal, Prince Selant hired a vampire killer from Ximen.
Could it be the same person?
President Philip had a doubt in his heart.
From the identity of the human sword mage, he learned that the opponent was definitely a prominent noble from the Kingdom of Cormyr.
If he hadn't already known that the two daughters of Yazen V died in the Red Dragon Rebellion in Mokou Town ten years ago, he could even suspect that she was based on the Purple Dragon Seal Ring. A princess.
And her striking brown-red hair and silver-grey eyes reminded him of Grand Duchess Raul of Arabe City.
But he had never heard when the female lord had another sister.
In any case, it can be seen from the importance Prince Celant attaches to her that the identity of this mysterious sword mage girl is absolutely extraordinary.
It can be seen from this that the Purple Dragon Seal Ring in the hands of this lord named Brian is likely to come from this sword mage girl.
After Brian returned to the surface, the sword mage girl who had been inseparable was no longer by his side.
Does this mean that Brian most likely obtained the approval of the Purple Dragon Seal Ring through some means, and then killed the other party in the Dark Territory.
Guessing this, President Philip faintly felt that the truth was getting closer and closer to him.
“President Philip, my informant in Arabe City conveyed the message to me.”
The subordinate in charge of intelligence went on to say, "The Grand Duchess of the Raul family has sent a Purple Dragon Legion and War Mage to Mokou Town. If nothing else happens, they will arrive at noon today."
" Is this true?" The president, who was deep in thought, his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he confirmed uneasily.
"Absolutely true!" The subordinate in charge of intelligence assured him.
"Very good, they came at the perfect time." President Philip's smile contained a hint of coldness, and he issued an order to his subordinates, "Call everyone in the manor and follow I will go together to greet the Purple Dragon Knight and the Battle Mage.”
He is from Prince Selant. Although there is a gap with the forces of Arabe City in the north, as long as he reveals his identity, these will definitely be beneficial to the kingdom. A loyal guardian would never dare to do anything to him.
And he could use this opportunity to expose Brian's identity and let them understand that the other party's Purple Dragon Seal Ring was obtained through improper channels.
Even if he makes a mistake, with the mediation of the Purple Dragon Knight and the War Mage, he will avoid the situation of the newly appointed barbarian lord taking away his land and resources and driving him out of Mokou Town. .
Then he can quietly wait for the counterattack from Shadow City, and finally cooperate with the hobgoblin army to complete the plan to occupy Mokou Town.
