The City of a Thousand Sails, Luskan, the northernmost city on the west coast of the entire continent of Faeren, a place once controlled by evil mages, is full of chaos, crime, and illegal trade.

However, since May 1357 of the Vale calendar, after the great battle between the Brotherhood of Mathematics and the coalition forces of Neverfall and Waterdeep, a terrible military coup changed the city completely.

The Brotherhood of Mathematics was forced to disband and reorganize, transforming from a spellcaster organization that was keen on infighting to a more powerful and tightly organized arcane light.

The army, which had a chaotic command system, was also forcibly divided into two parts, one part was the city defense force that maintained law and order in the city and patrolled daily, mainly composed of humans, and was under the jurisdiction of the city hall. The other part is composed of orcs, half-orcs, barbarians, giants of different breeds, etc., who drink the blood of demons, and even a few white dragons, who are mainly responsible for foreign wars.

In addition, the navy swept across Sword Bay, and any merchant ships passing through it had to pay expensive tolls or be mercilessly attacked and plundered.

With the fleets of Waterdeep and Neverwinter completely wiped out, they could only pay the money honestly, and they didn't dare to make the slightest provocative move.

Similarly, the guild led by Artemis Ntrili is also actively taking action, constantly eradicating harpists, Santaringuilds and other intelligence organizations that want to reach in with their tentacles, and by the way, establishing a stronghold on the enemy's territory to collect useful information.

Powerful!

Evil!

Aggressive!

This is the new Luskan created by Zhang Cheng back then!

After his disappearance, the few people who held huge power did not cause infighting over the distribution of power, but took the initiative to set up a round table council, clearly demarcating their respective areas of responsibility, to ensure that they could continue to suppress the surrounding areas and slowly grow and build a country worthy of the name.

As it happens, today is the time of the regular monthly round table.

As the leader of the arcane light and the brains of the city, Valindra was always the first to arrive, sitting alone in a chair waiting for the others to arrive.

The former female apprentice Sini stood beside her, staring out the window at the blue sky, white clouds and sea, not knowing what she was thinking.

The second to arrive was Artemis Ntreili.

As usual, he was accustomed to staying in the dark corners of his room, rarely expressing his opinions, and never sitting in his chair.

Soon, the supreme commander of the army, the evil orc Gar, also arrived, sat down with a big grin, and began to gulp the liquor he carried with him, and his two scarlet eyes glanced at the two female mages opposite from time to time.

Although he hadn't fought in a long time, he was still a formidable warrior, and the smell of blood emanated from his body.

As for the fourth person to be present, it was Ian, the actual controller of the navy, who had the title of "Pirate King".

As a half-dragon warrior, he has a long life, so he can't see the slightest trace of the erosion of time, and he smiled and greeted everyone present.

Just when Gar was a little impatient and wanted to say something, the last Gildan who was in charge of municipal management finally arrived.

This guy who was born as a sergeant has long lost the spirit of daring to fight back then, and he has gained weight for two or three circles, and he has a beautiful goatee on his chin, which is no different from those shrewd aristocrats and politicians.

"Ahem, since everyone has arrived, let's start today's meeting. Valindra coughed vigorously and declared.

"Damn, what else are you talking about, give me the authority directly, and my army will set foot in Neverwinter. Gar casually threw aside the empty bottle and shouted.

Rather than intrigue, he prefers to crush his enemies with unrivaled strength and make them collapse in pain and despair.

"Don't worry! The town hall hasn't finished mobilizing for war yet! We need time to raise food and all sorts of supplies! Do you think war can be fought just by being big?" retorted Gildan first.

You must know that after several years of steady development, coupled with the turbulent years when a large number of people fled here, Luskan has become a large city with a population of more than 100,000, and the surrounding farms established by slaves and yeoman farmers are also producing a steady stream of food, but it is not easy to support an army of more than tens of thousands of people.

"Pirate King" Ian shrugged his shoulders with a nonchalant expression: "My fleet is ready to attack the ports of Neverwinter and Waterdeep at any time, or even completely block their sea transportation lines. ”

"What about the Silvermoon City Alliance, has Erasdror made any recent moves?" Valindra set her eyes directly on the killer in charge of intelligence.

Ignoring the question, Ntrili stepped straight out of the shadows in the corner, placed a gold coin on the table, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Before discussing this, I think it's necessary for you to take a look at this. ”

"A gold coin with a unique shape?" Gildan subconsciously frowned.

He didn't have the slightest talent for spellcasting, so he couldn't see the special features of this gold coin at all.

But Valindra's pupils contracted suddenly, and she carefully picked up the coin and put it in the palm of her hand to feel the energy contained in it, and then stood up sharply, shouting in ecstasy: "It's the master! This is the master's power! He's finally back!"

"What?!" Sini rushed forward with a lunge, snatched the gold from Valindra's hand, and within a few seconds she trembled and muttered to herself, "Oh my God!

"Hahahaha! Neverwinter and Waterdeep!Prepare to tremble in front of your master!We will win this war!" Gar laughed excitedly.

Compared to the other people's gaffes, Ian was much calmer, and asked directly, "Where did this coin come from, and if the master really returned, then why didn't he just appear in front of us?"

"In fact, the coin was sent by a Tieflin sent by a man named Jesse. She now controls the Beggars' Lair in Neverwinter, working for a thirteen-year-old boy named Benny. As far as I know, this gold coin was made by the boy. Eun Choi gave his source of information with a blank face.

"A thirteen-year-old boy? do you mean...... He's the master we've been secretly looking for?" Valindra also seemed to sense that something was wrong, and there was a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

"I can't be sure. But according to the Tiffling, her master wants to meet you directly. Incidentally, the thirteen-year-old boy has now been elected as the new lord of Neverwinter, along with an expulsion order from Lord Nasir and the Church of the God of Justice. ”
