Neverwinter, Blue Palace.

The infamous Lord of Nasher, the most unsuccessful undercover aide in history, Jarvis, and the current city guard leader Bivis, who was refused to carry, sat together to analyze the information sent from the north.

In the past, Erebes was in charge of this kind of thing, but now Erebes has been driven away, and he can only rely on politicians, staff, and miscellaneous deputies to deal with the problem together.

Fortunately, they still have some advantages, Neverwinter and Luskan have been fighting for many years, and while they are very afraid of each other, they have also developed a lot of spies in each other's cities.

Therefore, as soon as Luskan sent troops, Neverwinter received the information transmitted by magic as soon as possible.

Lu Sikan planned to send 6,000 troops this time, and the second and fourth fleets at sea were almost 4,000 people, which was almost equivalent to an outpouring of troops! The two-way army advancing by land and water has tapped out the war potential of Luskan! In addition, Luskan also received about 70,000 orc reinforcements (actually a reptilian army), although not fully equipped, but it was a great threat to use it as cannon fodder.

The situation is dire!

It is estimated that Crossroads Fortress can help Neverwinter for a week at most - in order to let Crossroads Fortress help fight against lightning, this time the information was not revealed to that side.

"How long will it take for reinforcements from Waterdeep?"

"It will be within a week! This is a promise made to me by the Lord of Kelburn himself! No less than 10,000 soldiers, two full fleets, and a mage regiment! Jarvis said that he went on a business trip to Waterdeep City some time ago, but when he came back, he found that Sister A had left and dumped him.

"Very good, it seems that this aspect can be reassured, what is the reaction on the other side of the Crossroads Fortress?"

"It seems to be a steadfast approach and a very cautious response. The fortress was cleared of suspects, and all of our agents posing as merchants were kicked out of the fortress, but the soldiers remained in the fortress. According to the information transmitted from the inside, they are vigorously stockpiling arrows, pig iron and horses. ”

"It's not bad, with His Excellency Erebeth under the command, we should be able to hold out for a while longer, and we can be more prepared." Bivis nodded repeatedly.

"You say...... Is it possible for them to ...... Surrender to Luskan? "Nasher is still a politician thinker.

Bivis frowned and kept silent, he didn't want to believe this "possibility" at all, Yalvis could only explain stubbornly, "Probably not, first of all, Lord Vanswick's death is actually Luskan should be mainly responsible.

Secondly, before the spies left, the fortress had already sent squads to hunt down Lukanth's scouts everywhere, and had brought back at least a hundred heads. The two sides have formed an indissoluble hatred, even if it is ...... finally chose to give up, and that was after a period of perseverance! ”

Nasher nodded slowly, "Vanswick's death is in charge of Luskan" sounds very comforting, yes, that's it.

"That's good, now let's discuss how to mobilize the citizens...... It would be great if all those troublemakers could be sent to the walls! Nasher said indignantly.

Well, Neverwinter can raise three or four thousand armed militia with a single launch, the Crossroads Fortress can be delayed for another week, and the reinforcements from Waterdeep will arrive within a week......

This wave is stable.

Waterdeep.

The merry male aristocrat was resting on the bed with a middle-aged beautiful woman, their faces flushed, obviously just after the clouds had just closed.

"The emissary of Neverwinter has left, my dear, and I need you to vote against it in the next meeting. Don't worry, I'm not against supporting Neverwinter, it's just a matter of delaying for a few days......" The male nobleman blew his pillow air.

The woman nodded indifferently, Neverwinter was in the eyes of the nobles of Waterdeep, and the Crossroads Fortress was about the same status in the eyes of the nobles of Neverwinter. "But it may not be useful, we only have two votes in our hands, the small interests are fine, this kind of big thing Kelburn Black Rod (Lord of Waterdeep) will not let the voting result go wrong."

The male aristocrat smiled, "Not necessarily this time. ”

……

At this moment, in the depths of the City Lord's Mansion in Waterdeep, the legendary sorceress Erasdra was holding the hand of her sister Leila (Kelburn Blackrod's wife) and said, "Do you want to be Lady Kelburn for the rest of your life, or be yourself for five minutes?" The answer is in your hands! ”

"I want to be Mrs. Kelburne for the rest of my life......"

"No, look at your hands again!"

……

In the afternoon, when the Waterdeep Council voted, Leila Silverhand surprisingly voted against!

The vote was three to three, and the reinforcement agreement was suspended.

"Why? Lila. When the meeting ended, Kelburn stopped his wife with some annoyance and asked, "Why can't you just tell me what you have to say?" Why? You know that Neverwinter is important......"

"Because in addition to being Mrs. Kelburn for the rest of my life, I want to be myself for five minutes! I'm Leila Silverhand! Lyra said in a loud voice.

Kelburn Blackrod was struck in the heart by this sentence at once, and the anger vanished, replaced by a deep sense of guilt.

"I'm sorry, Leila, I'm ...... In the past, I ignored your feelings. You're right, you're yourself, you should have your own judgment, you're not my vassal...... I swear not. ”

Go to his Neverwinter! The wife suddenly wants to be herself...... I'm panicking now!

Having sent off the heart-scratching Black Rod City Lord, Leila spread her palms - yes, "The answer is in your hands!" ”

She looked at the folded note in her palm, which read "The secret of my sudden beauty...... I'm sorry, Neverwinter. When a woman is old, her husband excuses that he is busy with work all day long and does not pay public food, and he has to think about himself for the sake of marriage, family, and love.

In a few days, you should be able to hold on...... Cease.

*****

The main camp of the Luskan Army.

Several strange-shaped figures sat or stood, half of them wearing red robes, including Toleo, the former ambassador of Luskan. They are the commanders of these tens of thousands of armies...... It's not what we think is normal. These men were the agents of the lord of the Luskan Tower, and they were able to make decisions on most matters, but the specific command of the army was still the responsibility of the general.

How to say it, it is equivalent to the army setting off to bring the headquarters with it.

"Dozens of more detectives died? It doesn't matter, it's the reptiles who die anyway! Hahaha, the more you die, the better! Just enough to fool the fools in Neverwinter. ”

"It seems that the Crossroads Fortress is still a hard nut, so can they really keep the promise and open the gate for us to pass? Doesn't seem to be very credible? ”

"It doesn't matter, if you don't get out of the way, let those reptiles attack the city! Anyway, their queen said that all the wet land that had been beaten down was theirs. After a few people finished speaking, they looked at each other and laughed, the connotation of which is self-evident.

From beginning to end, their cooperation with the Reptile Empire was a deception, and there was no trust at all.

"And what if the Crossroads Fortress really does what was agreed and opens the door for the army to pass?" Toleo asked.

"Needless to say? Occupy it, of course! ”
