Chapter 480: Being a Master of Power, Not a Slave (10,000 Words Chapter, Asking for Subscription)
There is no doubt that chasing down a group of monsters that have completely collapsed and fled in the dark of night is obviously not an easy task.
Even for those Am's new army with a certain amount of night vision, as well as the dragons that are mass-produced through magical gene technology, they can only intercept those large targets first, and abandon the scattered one, two, or three small targets.
After all, there is a famous saying that as long as it is not the establishment that gives up resistance and chooses to surrender voluntarily, even tens of thousands of pigs running around will have to be caught for a few days.
Not to mention the horrible monsters in front of them, who can eat humans as food.
And because the situation on the battlefield has long been chaotic, a large number of uncontrollable coalition soldiers are chasing after the monsters, and there is no so-called formation and battle line for a long time.
Therefore, if you use legendary magic or magic rituals that have too much impact, it is easy to accidentally injure allies.
In desperation, they can only let these guys who are stimulated by blood and killing to revel.
After all, of all the towns in the Northland that have names and surnames, has not been invaded by monsters and barbarians from the wild?
So when you have the opportunity to slaughter these damned enemies, you won't be relentless.
Generally, you can kill as many as you can.
Only when the number of wild monsters that symbolize savagery decreases, can the towns and villages that represent civilization become slightly safer.
The relationship between the two sides is somewhat similar to the conflict between the nomadic and agrarian civilizations on the earth that lasted for a long time for living space.
With the exception of a handful of morally clean paladins and priests of good gods, most of the town's rulers are reverent of these threats from the savage world.
It is possible that the barbarian tribes, which are also branches of humanity, will have the opportunity to become slaves after defeat, or they may have killed all the adult men and left only the women and children to merge.
The rest, whether they are goblins, orcs, lizardmen, or more powerful ogres, trolls, and hill giants, have only one result of defeat, and that is the death of the whole family, young and old.
Even newborn babies are mercilessly drowned, fallen, and burned.
Of course, the reverse is also true.
If these monsters break through towns and villages, they will also brutally slaughter villagers.
For example, throwing a baby into his mouth as a snack and chewing on it, appreciating the wails of his father and mother in pain and despair, and the resistance that poses no threat to him.
Under the influence of gods, demons, devils, celestial creatures, the conflict between good and evil, order and chaos in this world is so intense and extreme that mortals must also be extreme in order to struggle to survive, rather than become an insignificant record in history.
Some don't even have a record of a few words, so they appear in obscurity and disappear in obscurity.
As an outsider, a traveling mage who has the ability to travel freely in the endless universe, Zuo Si understands the thoughts of these ordinary people who lack strength, so instead of choosing to stop them, he lets them vent to their heart's content.
He himself entered Baldur's Gate with representatives of various towns, announced to the inhabitants of the city that he had succeeded in expelling the evil forces of Santilburg, and held a banquet in the palace in the center of the city, the High Hall, to entertain these allies from afar.
As for the rest of the sweeping work on the battlefield, he directly left it to Vera to be responsible.
At the same time, he ordered the professional bureaucrats who arrived with the army to take over important departments, and completely put this important port hub connecting Sword Bay and Baojian Sea under their control.
If nothing else, a large number of people who do not know the truth will be encouraged by those who do not know the truth early tomorrow morning, and gather in front of the palace in the center of the city to petition and join Am.
After all, during the period of occupation by Fuzor Chamberbery, they all tasted the taste of man-made swords and fish and meat, and they urgently needed protection from the strong.
In addition, the entire upper ruling class of Baldur's Gate and many of the richest merchants were also cleaned up, and even those guilds and chambers of commerce were left with a few high-level leaders, and they could not organize effective management at all.
The most important thing is that the maritime merchants who now have the most say are all the comprador class that the NΓ€lancer Islands have supported over the years.
It doesn't matter to them who rules Baldur's Gate, what matters is to sell it for a good price.
Once in Amm, these merchants who specialize in maritime transport receive more favorable taxes and the right to do business in any port on the entire West Coast.
Therefore, they are the most active in this matter, and even take the initiative to buy food and alcohol and distribute them to the people for free, and then use this to invite people to realize their wishes.
Zuo Si himself knows this.
He had already written the script, and was ready to agree to-morrow morning, after a pretentious modesty, to take the rightful dominion of Baldur's Gate in front of the representatives of the towns of the Northlands.
Not only Baldur's Gate, but all the towns that have been built along both sides of the Oisa River, all the way to the Dragon Coast to the east, will all be concocted in the same way.
This is one of the ultimate goals of bringing so many allies together.
After all, there is such a thing as "legitimate right to rule", to put it bluntly, it depends on whether other forces around it and most of the people approve of it.
On the west coast of the continent of Faeron, the two great powers of the southern region, Karin Shirt and Tessel, had already fallen into the hands of Shane VII, so he would certainly not hesitate to admit the legitimacy of Zuosi's occupation and rule over the West Hartland region.
Therefore, the most important thing to deal with is actually the Northland towns that were previously dominated by Silvermoon City and Deep Water City.
Now, with a crushing military victory, Zoth has forced Waterdeep to relinquish leadership in public, uniting the Queen of Silvermoon City, Erastro, and the Lord of Nasir, Neverwinter.
Coupled with the blessing of the aura of "democracy", no one can find any fault.
In other words, all the lands south of the Meandering River, including Baldur's Gate, will become part of the Amm Empire.
But the Amm Empire will no longer be ruled by merchants and oligarchs, but will have a truly unified centralized monarchy.
As the soon-to-be-crowned emperor, Zuo Si had long learned how to use different talents to help him manage large and complex affairs, and he would not do everything himself like most kings and lords in this world.
What the real top achievers need is to put the right people in the right places, and then establish a set of laws and rules that work, as well as a regulatory system that is independent of the first two.
In this way, it is possible to automate the operation of a small organization or a large country.
What's more, he wants to be the master of power, not the slave of power.
And just like that, with cheerful music, wine, food, and dancing, the fallen Baldur's Gate finally welcomed its liberator and true master.
In the eyes of most outsiders, Zuo Si, the new alliance leader who seems to be fair, benevolent, powerful, prestigious, and capable, will definitely lead everyone to a better and brighter future that is getting richer and happier.
Only sane and intelligent people like Erastro, Kelburn, Leila, and Piergalen could detect the astonishing ambition revealed in Zuosi's calm eyes.
No doubt!
Occupying all the land south of the Meandering River was not the young man's ultimate goal, but the first step in a vast plan to annex the West Coast.
After completing his marriage with Shaun VII of the South and completing the internal integration, his next target will definitely be the entire Northland.
It's just that these people don't know what ways and means he will use to achieve his goals next time.
Just when the entire Baldur's Gate was in a revelry, Vera, as the commander of the battlefield, finally wore blood-stained armor through the banquet scene, went straight to Zuo Si's side, and reported in a low voice: "Master, the battle outside the city is over.
Most of the monsters abandoned by Fuzor Chamberbury have been wiped out.
Only a handful fled to the sea from near the cliffs on the western side of the battlefield.
However, I don't think with the height and steepness of Sword Bay, it is impossible for any other creature to survive except for the trolls. β
"Well done. What about our losses? β
Zuo Si withdrew his command scepter and asked quietly.
"We lost a total of two hundred and fifty-two hoplites and seventy-seven hoplites.
The casualties on the dark elves' side were relatively large, about three hundred.
As for the losses of other allies, they have not yet been counted, but the total will not exceed two thousand.
Fortunately, the priests have begun to treat the wounded, and some of them will be resurrected.
When I entered the city, I had ordered the logistics to prepare a sumptuous meal and drink as a reward for their bravery and courage tonight.
Oh, and by the way, those metal dragons.
After defeating the captive Black Dragon and the Green Dragon, they are eager to meet you. β
Vera quickly spoke up about what she had.
It is not difficult to see from those radiant eyes that her mood is still in a state of high excitement at the moment.
After all, a war of this magnitude is definitely not something that any country can afford to fight in the current Faren Continent.
Once it erupts, the influence will inevitably not be limited to the West Coast, but will continue to spread far and wide over time.
Coupled with such an astonishing battle loss ratio, the opponent is still a strong monster like Fort Santil and ogres, trolls, and giants.
It is foreseeable that the name Vera Salem Quant will be recorded by historians and become one of the most important symbols of the era.
And this is exactly what this woman who destroyed her family with her own hands tried her best to get.
Prove yourself!
Recognized by everyone in the outside world!
This is Vera's strongest obsession in the depths of her heart.
And she knew very well that there would be no second person in power in the whole world, except for Shane VII and Zusi, who would give a chance to a crazy person like herself.
"Did you lose more than 300 people? The record is not bad. Tell the person in charge of collecting the corpses that the bodies of all the New Army soldiers should not be buried for the time being, and that I will resurrect them myself later. β
A satisfied smile appeared on Zuo Si's face.
Apparently, these human warriors, who have been mass-produced through magical enhancements, have passed the test.
Because they had defeated the phalanx of ogres, trolls, and giants with little effort on a frontal battlefield.
The almost exaggerated battle loss ratio is a very clear and intuitive proof of its strong combat effectiveness.
Moreover, most of the deaths of the new army fighters came from magical attacks, especially the ogre mages and a few sorcery giants.
As for the physical attacks, all of them are siege-level ballistae and bed crossbows.
This also means that unless you are facing an army composed entirely of fire giants who are above three meters six and frost giants who are about six meters five, no one should want to defeat the new army of Amm in a frontal battle.
"As you wish!"
Vera fell down on one knee and kissed the magic ring on Zuosi's finger in submission.
Although the relationship between the two has long been determined, it was only forced to do so before, but today she is willing.
Even at the cost of sacrificing the entire Salem family.
Soon, under the leadership of this somewhat crazy woman, Zuosi left Baldur's Gate and went to the battlefield outside the city once again, unleashing resurrection and wishing spells on those soldiers who had died heroically.
After a while, the bodies of more than 300 people who had died not long ago were brought back to life and reunited.
You know, he spent a lot of thought, energy, time, and resources to build these soldiers.
Just after a battle, you want to lie down and die?
No kidding!
It is necessary to serve for at least twenty years before Zuo Si will allow these soldiers to die or retire.
Before that, even if the corpse was smashed and gnawed away, he would pull it back from the dead world through the power of magic and divine magic.
And even if they die, the corpse must be kept intact to make powerful undead creatures, or thrown into the oil for compleatification.
However, at the moment, these soldiers did not realize the seriousness of the problem, but because they were resurrected, they were grateful to their loyal masters, and even the morale and loyalty of the entire army were greatly improved.
After all, who wouldn't want a generous master who could resurrect him at great cost after a heroic death.
As for the soldiers who died in other towns......
I'm sorry, Zuo Sicai won't waste valuable spell-casting materials and energy on these people, and simply promised to give a pension of one hundred gold coins to the families of the dead.
You know, that's not a small amount of money for most of the town guards and militia.
It's worth the sum of their wages for years without eating or drinking.
As for the remaining soldiers, bonuses will be distributed according to the number of beheadings and the number of battles they have taken.
In short, when he should be generous, Zuo Si will never be a little stingy.
What's more, after the money is distributed, the soldiers will inevitably have to spend and buy all kinds of goods and services, which will lead to rapid economic development.
In the end, through the huge and unified market of trade alliances, the party with the strongest technology and production capacity will inevitably be able to earn all the money back with interest.
And Zuo Si happens to be the biggest monopolist among them, and there is no one.
When he came out of the barracks, all the soldiers shouted his name like crazy, and then raised their glasses and drank bitterly.
No one would not like to follow a generous leader.
This is also a trait shared by all those who have been able to make a difference in history.
Looking at the scene of the dark elves and human allies in the barracks sitting together drinking and eating meat, boasting to each other about how many monsters they had just hacked and killed, and then laughing together, Aoi Lu couldn't help but have a faint sense of relief on her face, raised her head to look at the bright moon and whispered, "Great Goddess Elistry, did you see it?" We have finally earned the right to return to the surface world through our own efforts. β
Moment!
A naked dark elf girl slowly walked out of the darkness and replied with joy, "Of course I did, my dear elect. Through this war, you have earned the trust and acceptance of humanity. Promise me to make good use of this hard-won opportunity and not let the tragedy of that year repeat again. β
"Rest assured, even if you don't remind me, I will protect my hard-won fruit and carefully care for it to grow into a towering tree."
Kwai Lu solemnly gave a guarantee.
But soon, she suddenly changed the conversation and said in a tone that was not very certain: "How do you plan to give back to Soth's side?" You know, we owe him a lot of favors. β
"Hehe, that's not something you need to care about. I've already prepared a thank you gift for Soth, and when the dungeon is finished, I'll be sure to invite him to the inauguration. β
With that, Elise blinked playfully, and then disappeared into the clearing in a ray of moonlight.
Apparently already familiar with the girlish posture of her own goddess, Aoi Lu smiled and shook her head, and quickly turned to find another young voter, Liriel Benry.
Perhaps because everyone was celebrating the victory, no one noticed that near the tidal flats dozens of kilometers away from the battlefield, several green and black dragons that had been badly injured and covered in blood were lying on the ground and bound by heavy magical chains.
In addition to a few metal dragons from the good camp around them, there were also more than twenty genetically modified dragons with a body length of about seven or eight meters and knights on their backs.
As soon as that guy is not honest and wants to escape, then the knight will immediately raise the spear in his hand that flashes with silver electric light, and give the other person a "Great Memory Recovery Technique".
All dragons that have been electrocuted will have more serious reactions such as convulsions and foaming at the mouth without exception.
And the metal dragons also showed a strong curiosity about these dragons, who were neither evil nor good, but who were like beasts in an absolutely neutral camp.
Because they can feel that although these dragons that are very similar to themselves are not 100% true dragons, they are definitely mixed with the bloodline of real dragons, and there are also some other strange dragon bloodlines.
Its relatively low intelligence is, in the final analysis, due to its young age.
After a few decades or even hundreds of years, they will naturally gradually become smarter as they get older.
Just when the golden dragon at the head wanted to ask one of the knights what was going on with these fast-growing young dragons, Zuo Si cast a teleportation magic and appeared out of thin air.
Without saying a word, Gorsania immediately rushed forward and gave him a flutter and a hug, while complaining, "Damn it! Why did you come? We've been waiting for you for a while. β
"I'm sorry, you know, I'm the organizer of this coalition, so I'll have to arrange other things first."
Zuo Si pretended to show an apologetic expression, and at the same time reached out and gently stroked the other party's long golden hair.
This intimate action suddenly made Gorsania's heart beat faster.
But just when her mouth was dry and she didn't know what to say, the female golden dragon who was the leader immediately leaned over and asked in a very gentle and pleasant voice, "Good evening, Your Excellency Soth, the common elector of the two goddesses."
I am Naryenia, the elder sister of Golsania and the leader of all the metal dragons that nest in this area.
Thank you so much for saving Gorsania before.
Allow me to express my sincerest gratitude to you on behalf of my mother, father and other siblings. β
"You're welcome, ma'am.
Because anyone who still has a conscience in his heart would not watch such an innocent and cute golden dragon girl die.
And I have a very good time with her, and I have become a good friend. β
Zuo Si replied politely.
Golsania hurriedly nodded in agreement, "That's right, sister." I had a good stay in the mage tower in Soth. Not only was there delicious food every day, but there was also a group of kind servants to serve it, which was simply more nourishing than when living in the mother's lair. β
"Eat, eat, eat! You know how to eat! You know? Ever since the news of your serious injury and disappearance, both father and mother have been so anxious that they almost went to Santilburg. β
The female golden dragon who called herself Naryenia also transformed into an elf form in an instant, raised her hand and knocked her sister's little brain hard, her eyes full of disappointment that hated iron and steel.
"Oops...... What's wrong with eating? β
Gorsania stared at her "sister" with two big innocent eyes, and the word "grievance" was written all over her face.
It's a pity that Naryenia ignored her, but continued to lock on to Zuo Si with her gaze and asked, "Lord Soth, if you don't mind, can you tell me what is going on with these dragon creatures controlled by knights?" β
"All I can tell you is that they are the product of some kind of magical experiment, fused with the blood of many world dragons."
Zuo Si gave a very vague answer straightforwardly.
Because his ultimate goal is to create a perfect dragon species that can grow as fast as the dragons of the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, and also possess a super high IQ and magical talent like the dragons of the Faren Continent.
Of course, this project is still in its infancy, and it can only create this kind of dragon with relatively low intelligence, but it will continue to become intelligent as it grows older.
In fact, in Zuo Si's eyes, Nicol Bolas and the spirit dragon Ugina's bloodline, which originated from the primordial dragon, was the perfect dragon gene that he most longed for.
It's a pity that at the moment, these two elder dragons and ancient brigade mages are not something he can afford to provoke for the time being.
"Fused with the bloodlines of dragons of multiple worlds? I see! β
Naryenia had obviously heard of the name of the Left-Brigade-mage, and she also understood where the strange feeling these dragon mounts gave her came from.
Fortunately, she didn't dwell on this issue for long, and after getting the answer she wanted, she quickly proposed, "Your Excellency, these evil green and black dragons will be left to you."
If nothing else, we'll leave first.
Because I also have to tell my father, mother, and elders what is happening here.
Whether Gorsania is safe or sound, or a new group of dragons has appeared in the world of Torrell, it is very important news for us. β
"Absolutely.
But are you sure you won't go to Baldur's Gate for the banquets and revelry that's going on?
There's unlimited free food and wine, as well as burlesque performances by bards and clowns.
As allies in the fight against evil, I think it's never too late for you to have a drink or two. β
Zuo Si warmly sent out an invitation.
Moment!
Several silver dragons who liked to be lively and socialized were moved, and their eyes revealed a look of yearning, and they all set their eyes on Naryenia.
The latter immediately responded with a helpless smile: "If you want to go, you can go, don't worry about me." β
"Aha! I knew you were the most reasonable. β
Before he could finish speaking, the male silver dragon spread his wings and flew in the direction of Baldur's Gate.
Seeing this, several other silver dragons and brass dragons also rose into the air one after another to join in the fun.
After all, in this world where entertainment is relatively scarce, banquets and revelries have a great attraction for the metal dragons of the good camp.
Not to mention the free food and drinks.
No dragon would refuse something free, even if it wasn't worth a lot of money.
In their inherent thinking, if they don't take advantage, they will suffer a big loss, and they will not be able to sleep for several days in a row.
Seeing several of her companions disappear into the night sky, Naryenia soon took off with two other golden dragons and flew towards the forests and mountains to the east.
When all of them were gone, Gorsania let out a long breath and muttered in a voice that only she could hear, "Whewβit's finally fooled." I really don't know how my sister will react when she finds out that I can't fly. β
"You seem to be afraid of your sister?"
Zuo Si glanced at the golden dragon girl and asked with interest.
"Yes! How could you not be afraid.
You know, when I was a young dragon, my sister was already an adult.
And she doesn't have a sense of humor at all, and always likes to teach people with a straight face.
Almost every time I got into trouble, my father and mother didn't necessarily beat me, but my sister certainly didn't miss the opportunity to teach me a lesson.
It can even be said that I was basically bullied by her from childhood to adulthood.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have left my parents' lair so early to go out on my own. β
At the mention of her own sister, Gorsania immediately put on a pitiful and desperate look.
That expression is the same as the reaction of many younger siblings who have been bullied by their own sister all their lives.
"Hahahaha! Okay, don't complain to me here. After tossing for so long, your stomach should be hungry, hurry up and go to the Baldur's Gate to attend a banquet and enjoy the wine and food. β
As he spoke, Zuo Si cast a teleportation spell to send the golden dragon girl to the banquet site of the palace, followed by the dismissal of those dragon knights.
After all the irrelevant personnel disappeared, he walked straight to the captured green dragons and black dragons, touched his chin and asked with a smile: "Can anyone tell me what I should do with you now?" β
Moment!
Several evil dragons suddenly shook uncontrollably, and fear appeared in their pupils.
They are not fools, they know how many color dragons have been killed by this young man in front of them on the west coast of the Faren Continent in recent years.
In particular, the fall of the legendary dragon king Ivy Kolasagran's "sharp teeth" has made many famous dragons involuntarily have a sad mood of rabbit death and fox death.
After a full minute, the only male green dragon in the prime of life in the audience asked, "What do you want to do before you let us go?" β
"My request is simple. Whoever tells me the distribution of all the green dragon lairs in the dragon forest first, then he will survive. As for the other dragons......"
A devilish creepy smile appeared on Zuo Si's face.
Watching enemies turn against each other for the last chance of survival is one of his favorite shows.
The sheer evil of completely abandoning etiquette, morality, and shame, as well as the chain reaction of suspicion and betrayal, is interesting and full of anticipation just to think about.
It turns out that the more intelligent creatures are, the more difficult it is to unite the most of the time.
Especially when they are all selfish and only think about their own interests, suspicion and betrayal come much faster than expected.
What was even more unexpected was that before the sinister and cunning green dragons could speak, a chaotic and evil black dragon shouted at the top of his voice: "Me! I know what's going on inside the Dragon's Forest, and the exact location of those dragon lairs. β
"Bastard! Mul Harans! How dare you betray the secrets of the Great Green Dragon! Have you forgotten who took you in the first place, the lost dog, and who allowed you to build a nest on the edge of the Dragon's Forest? β
Another adult green dragon raised its head and cursed sharply.
It's a pity that the so-called Murharans didn't have the slightest intention of refutating, and crawled to Zuosi's feet like a dog, lowered his huge head deeply, and said in a flattering tone: "Lord Soth! I am willing to be your servant and mount, and I am willing to obey every command you give. If only you would spare my life. β
I have to say that his posture suddenly made Zuo Si unable to rectify.
Because Zuo Si has already encountered many dragons, he understands how proud and conceited these guys are in their bones.
This is the first time I have ever encountered such a completely shameless and completely full desire to survive in front of me.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
Zuo Si looked each other up and down, his eyes revealing naked and undisguised distrust.
"That's right! I'm pretty sure!
Because I'm not like these idiots who haven't figured out the situation yet.
I don't want to die, and I don't want to be turned into a thoughtless puppet by you.
So I'm willing to accept any harsh conditions, as long as it's not the worst of the two above. β
Murhalans apparently learned some information about Zuosi somewhere, so he behaved exceptionally submissively.
You must know that the original purpose of his coming was just to get more commissions from Fuzor Chamberbury, and he didn't want to really go to the battlefield to fight hard.
It's a pity that in terms of intrigue and intrigues, this black dragon is no match for Bane's voters at all, and as a result, the commission is not earned but accidentally loses itself.
As soon as he thought about it, Mul Harans hated it.
"Hehe, well, I like your knowledge of current affairs. In that case, how about let's sign a contract? β
As the last word blurted out, a hell contract was instantly generated and directly spread out in front of the black dragon.
Smelling the pungent smell of sulfur, Mul Harranston realized it was the devil's thing, but signed his name on the last line without even looking at it.
He was undoubtedly well aware that he had no bargaining power at all.
Instead of risking the anger of the other party, it is better to behave a little bit of singleness.
When the contract was ignited and took effect, Zuo Si raised his hand and snapped his fingers, immediately removing the magic chains on the other party's body.
The remaining green and black dragons were stuffed into the suitcase.
What awaits them will be to be sent to the Zendikar plane to increase their size and age through time magic, and then soaked in glistening oil to transform into pure war behemoths.
Looking at Zuo Si's smooth movements, Murhaland immediately secretly congratulated himself on making an extremely correct choice, and hurriedly leaned down and asked cautiously: "Master, are you going to attack the green dragons in the Dragon Forest next?" I can go undercover and get you the information. β
"No, don't bother. Davidian! β
Zuo Si bluntly called out the name of the Flame Dragon Knight.
Next Second......
This strong man, who exuded an astonishing amount of fire elemental energy from his body, stepped through the portal and appeared precisely in the open space two meters away.
"Master, are you calling me?"
As he said this, he stared at the black dragon not far away with his reddish eyes, which immediately frightened the latter and hurriedly took several steps back.
The former's terrifying momentum and murderous gaze made Mul Harans feel a sense of despair in the face of the most powerful primeval red dragon.
"Go to the Dragon Forest for me, and kill all the green and black dragons that live there for me.
I want all the dragons who live in this land to know exactly what will happen to my enemies.
This black dragon knows the location of all the green dragon's lairs, and he will be responsible for showing you the way. β
With that, Zuo Si activated the teleportation magic and disappeared in place.
As soon as he walked on his front foot, Davidian's hind foot changed from human form to a flaming red dragon form that exuded hot heat, and with a bloodthirsty smile on his face, he said to the black dragon, which was only nearly a tenth of his size, "Let's go, little one, let's go on a happy killing spree." I hope these green dragons are strong enough, otherwise it will be too boring to kill them too easily. β
Boom!
Mul Haranston swallowed his saliva and hurriedly nodded desperately: "Ming...... Got it! Please follow me! β
Under the suppression of such a huge size, energy, and magical power, he didn't dare to have the slightest objection, and immediately flapped his wings and flew into the air regardless of the injuries he had received, flying in the northeast direction.
Davidian followed, a bright, blinding red light across the night sky.
At the current rate, in a few tens of minutes at most, the green dragons living in the dragon forest will usher in a terrifying catastrophe.
β¦β¦
On the other hand, after a long and rapid march, Erebes had reached Iliaba, the most important transportation hub of the Oisa River to the Dragon Coast.
After a fierce battle, she managed to lead an army of 5,500 men to defeat the 300 defenders of Santil Fort, and seized a large amount of supplies from the warehouses on the riverbank docks that had not had time to be transported.
You know, from the map, although Eastbound City is the city at the end of the river.
But in fact, it is not close to the river, and it is still quite a distance from the river.
It's not impossible, but the problem is that there are a lot of rocks and dirt roads that can't be passed through by large wagons, so even if they are transported, they can only be transported on a small scale.
Most of the cargo is still loaded and unloaded in Iliaba, and then the main road passes through Eastbound City, Prapul, and Ivanso, and finally arrives at the ports of Pros or Taysil, Simon, etc.
Looking at the mountains of grain, ordnance, gold, silver and jewelry in the warehouse, Erebeston gasped and immediately ordered without looking back: "Close the city gate immediately!"
Let everyone start fortifying the walls and the harbor!
Vozol Chamberbury will certainly not let so many unshipped supplies be intercepted by us.
With his character, he will 100% lead the defeated army to attack and take these things back. β
"Now? Our soldiers have just finished a difficult siege battle, and it is time to relax and rest. β
An adjutant from another town suddenly looked embarrassed.
After all, after a battle, letting the soldiers drink and find women is the norm for most of the town guards and militia in the Northland.
In a profession like this, where the head is pinned to the waistband of the trousers, there may be no tomorrow after today, and the idea of timely pleasure is pursued.
If they were forcibly recalled at this time, it would have led to complaints from the soldiers, or serious mutiny.
Especially without the new army of Amm led by Zuo Si as a deterrent, God knows what these guys who can't satisfy their desires will do.
Erebeth was the second-in-command of Neverwinter's power system, and he was naturally well aware of the virtues of the guards and militia in other towns in the Northlands, and he also knew what the officer was worried about, and immediately promised: "Tell those soldiers!"
If I return now to carry out my orders, I will ask Lord Soth for a reasonable reward after fending off the counterattack of Fort Santil.
I'm sure no one would doubt the generosity of Lord Soss, right? β
Moment!
The adjutant's eyes lit up slightly and he praised: "Good idea! I'll send to the taverns and brothels in the city to gather all the ......."
The voice has not fallen!
A heavily armed Neverwinter guard walked in from outside and shouted, "Report! Ms. Erebes!
Outside the city came an army flying the banner of the Kingdom of Cormyr.
There were not many of them, only about three hundred people, but all of them were elite knights.
The young woman at the head claimed to be Yalusail Nakhazia Obeszir, the daughter of His Majesty King Ahsan IV, and was given the title of Iron Princess.
She was ordered to help us stop the army of Santilburg, so that Fuzor Chamberry could not take the looted supplies and treasures with him. β
"Iron Princess Yalusail?!"
Hearing this name, Erry Beston was extremely surprised.
Because of the great war that broke out in Lysserman a few years ago, even in the far north, she had heard of it.
Whether it is the courage and determination of Ahsan IV of the Cormir Kingdom to travel thousands of miles, or the outstanding performance of this iron princess in battle, she is admired as a holy warrior.
It's just that Erebeth doesn't understand why the other party suddenly sent troops to help, and how to pass through the port city and sea route controlled by Santil Fort.
