"Hehe, didn't Luskan also send you, the Lord of the North Tower?" the woman in the magic mask smiled and revealed one of Zhang Cheng's apparent identities.

However, judging by the quantity and quality of the troops on this flagship, she didn't know that the young man standing in front of her was not a human at all, but a terrifying black dragon, otherwise there would be at least one or two high-level mages, warlocks, or priests present.

You must know that the Council of Lords is an administrative system created by Waterdeep City, which selects qualified talents from all walks of life in the city through a series of unknown and secret methods, and then through observation, screening, and voting, it is finally decided to give someone the title of "lord" to the highest decision-making level.

These anonymous people with the title of "lord" are the highest authority that rules Waterdeep, and some of them may be powerful mages, some of them may be famous adventurers, and some of them may be merchants or peddlers.

Anyway, except for the sixteen people in the Council of Lords, no one knew their true identities, and it was impossible to figure out which old lord had retired and which new lord had taken the throne.

Therefore, for the sixteen lords, the attitude of the authorities of Waterdeep City has always been to strictly protect them, for fear that one of them will be attacked and kidnapped, which will directly lead to the exposure of all the identities of the remaining lords.

What is the most feared thing about a political system that hides its identity to ensure the security of its decision-making bodies?

The answer is undoubtedly identity exposure!

Because once the identity is revealed, it means that it may attract endless temptations, threats, and revenge, and the lords are likely to do something unfavorable to Waterdeep for the safety of their relatives and friends.

Waterdeep apparently knows this, too, and has specially crafted magical masks that can disguise their identities, and no matter which lord is out, it will have a large number of guards as needed to ensure that no matter what happens, the lord can escape safely.

But today, Zhang Cheng didn't feel the slightest human or magical item from this battleship that could pose a threat to him.

This also means that he can completely capture this lord alive and detonate the most feared and feared political crisis in Waterdeep.

Thinking of this, a trace of imperceptible madness flashed in his eyes, and suddenly, without any warning, he grabbed the slender neck of the other party, and then smiled and said to the stunned soldiers and guards around him: "Excuse me, everyone, the negotiation is over." From now on, Luskan and Waterdeep are officially at war. As for this lady of honorable status, she is my captive for the time being. ”

The words just fell!

A middle-aged man in dark red leather armor was the first to react, and the shadow formed by the sunlight on the main mast disappeared in an instant.

Next Second......

Clang!

The dagger that shimmered with magic almost pierced Zhang Cheng's eye socket!

However, it is a pity that he was intercepted by the Soul Arrester who emitted black smoke.

Just when the other party was about to use his agile movements to carry out a second attack, Zhang Cheng curled the corners of his mouth and showed a sarcastic smile, and then pressed the magic sword against the woman's jaw and threatened: "Throw away the weapon in your hand, or I will kill her." ”

"You...... Despicable!"

The man who was repulsed blushed with excitement, obviously not expecting that this "messenger of Luskan" would actually threaten him with the life of his lord.

"Mean? No, I prefer to call it tactics and tricks. Okay, don't get so nervous, put your weapons down, or I won't guarantee this lady's life. As a word of caution, this sword in my hand is not an ordinary sword, but a magic sword, an evil weapon that can devour souls, it can devour a person's soul and read all memories from it. Think about it, what would happen if I revealed the identities of all the lords of Waterdeep?"

Zhang Cheng didn't care about the hate, vigilance, or contempt of the people around him, and raised his hand to shoot a dazzling bright light into the air.

Even though it was daylight, the magic light still emitted a light ten times more dazzling than the sun, and it could still be seen clearly even from several kilometers away.

"Signal! It's a signal!" shouted one of the lookouts on a pirate ship, seeing this.

"Raise the battle flag! Tell all captains to attack immediately!"

As the commander of the fleet, Ian narrowed his eyes and hesitated for a moment, and quickly gave the order to attack according to the plan.

Although he knew very well that with all these miscellaneous pirates under his command, it was impossible for him to be an opponent of the Navy of Waterdeep on the other side, and that he would completely collapse in an hour or two at most, but he had a powerful hole card that could turn the tide in an instant, and that was Sinie, who stood motionless on the deck.

Now this young girl is no longer an apprentice in the ordinary sense, although she has not yet received the official title of mage conferred by the Arcane Brotherhood, but her power has surpassed that of most mages and is more terrifying.

Especially in places close to water-rich sources such as rivers, lakes and the sea, it is easy to wreak horrific damage and even submerge a city at a time.

Of course, she didn't plan to show her true strength today, just to calm down and call out to the huge monsters in the deep sea.

Perhaps the pirate captains who were eager to attack did not notice the anomaly beneath the surface of the sea, but Ian found that a huge shadow had shrouded the pirate ship beneath his feet......

"Full sails! Catapult ready!"

"Catapult ready!"

"Put!"

"Put!"

......

Unaware of the arrival of the terrifying sea monsters, the pirates rushed towards the backward wooden sailing ships, and when they reached a certain distance, all kinds of stones, rockets, and crossbows rained down into the air and shot at the enemy's fleet.

All of a sudden, the originally peaceful sea was shattered by all kinds of shouts of killing, cries for help, and cries of pain.

Large and small ships crisscrossed and quickly launched a big melee between you and me, and I have you.

Due to the lack of artillery, there was no battle line formation in the naval battle on the Faren Continent, and it was completely a random fight, and some tried to board the enemy ship and kill all the soldiers and sailors of the opposing side.

Anyway, in Zhang Cheng's eyes, this so-called naval war is completely a continuation of the land war, and he can't see the essence of the naval war.

In contrast, Waterdeep's well-trained soldiers showed the importance of discipline, quickly driving down the pirates who boarded the ship, and some even took over the pirate ship in turn.

In about half an hour, the first group of pirates to rush over were basically either sunk or turned into prisoners, which was simply ugly......

PS: Yesterday there was a chapter where the number of troops was miscalculated and revised.
