Chapter 382, Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate!

Takshi gestured his size in front of the tall gilded floor-to-ceiling mirror in the fortress of Wyvern, and the noble councilors of Baldur's Gate were already waiting downstairs, the upstart from the Karatu continent, the son of Duke Jue Chang'an of Blackwater, stared at his half-blood face, and motioned for the squires around him to put on armor for him.

Baldur's Gate has recently been in crisis.

There was a serious problem in the iron ore mines of Naxikai, and the rat infestation in the wild gradually evolved from the usual biennial rat plague to a terrifying natural disaster, and the more and more rat army was discovered, the people of Jianwan realized with horror that these rats were not ordinary rat infestations at all.

They are up against an empire of nezumi.

Baldur's Gate is located right in the route of the Nezumi Empire, and there is no doubt that the Nezumi will target here, and on this dark day, the Flame Fist Mercenary Group is doing its best to maintain order and deal with the Nezumi invasion.

It was in this series of conflicts and wars that Takshi became the hero of Baldur's Gate.

In Bergost, Tuckers personally destroyed the Nezumen's giant multi-headed war monster.

At Nasikai, Takshi single-handedly fended off thousands of nezumen, buying the miners time to retreat.

On the banks of the Oshima River, Takshi unleashed an unleashed an unleashed unleashed an unleashed Dimensional Stone Lightning Cannon Array of the Skaven Rats, protecting the merchant ships of Baldur's Gate.

At this moment, the Baldians are proud of Taks, and the Duke of Iltan has appointed Takshi as the acting commander of the Flame Fist, hoping that this hero will lead Baldur's Gate through the difficulties.

The armor worn by Takshi was more ornate than ever, and the heavy steel armor was inlaid with the traditional golden dragon motif of Karatu.

The steel amulet hung around his neck, the armor on his forearm was made of the finest Mithril of the Adamantite Furnace, and on his shoulders was a heavy cloak adorned with the rarest mink, painted with auspicious eight treasures and multicolored cloud patterns, and the leggings were arranged diagonally with many curved lines, called the feet of the water, and above the feet of the water, there were many waves of water tumbling, and above the waves of the water stood the treasures of mountains and stones.

The long black hair was delicately decorated with wax and wore a laurel wreath on it - unfortunately, the Chaos Crown was taken by Aaron, and the Takers had to exchange it for the crown that the Lord of Men liked to wear, as a sign of the greatest desecration.

The gloves and hand guards are made of the softest imported leather from Yongju Island, covered with stainless steel plates.

Gold rivets made by the priests of Gonde glittered in the light, and the many medals and insignia worn by the Taks were inlaid with gold and silver, shining as he walked.

The room he was in was even more opulent, decorated with colorful glass and polished cherry wood furniture.

"Yes, I need this." Tucker looked at himself in the mirror, and at a certain moment, Birac even thought that Tucker was himself, he was really the son of Jue Chang'an, the Duke of Blackwater from Karatu, and the general of the left guard who was guarded by the Dragon Empire in the northeast.

The last defeat made Birac learn a lesson, and now, he came to Baldur's Gate at the same time as the human hero Takshi on the surface and the Baal incarnation in the dark, Birac is a very good at summing up experience, his existence once made the Lord of Mankind feel jealous, compared to the last brainless devouring, this time Birac came prepared, and carefully studied the rules of the kingdom.

Despite being dressed so gorgeously, Tuckers was still annoyed that he needed to behave like this, Birak didn't want to be a hero, he was more like revealing his true colors, establishing his own dark rule in this world, breaking free from the shackles of the four gods of chaos, and spreading the power of chaos to every corner of this world.

The problem is that Birac can't do it.

In Warhammer's galactic universe, a Chaos Champion can easily rule a world, unless they encounter something that is not quite normal.

And during the Salian Gala held by Aaron, Birac knew that there were no less than 20 Demon Princes who could easily defeat the Demon Prince.

"Only fools and idiots are blinded by gold." Looking at himself in the mirror, Tuckers smiled contemptuously, "But I had to." ”

In the agricultural world, rulers need to symbolize and sanctify themselves, and make commoners worship them through complicated clothing and complex title systems, while in the industrial world or the commercial world, rulers should wear the same clothes and use the same titles to make them feel close to themselves.

Humans obviously prefer the former, for many ordinary human beings, they can't accept that sitting on the throne may be a living person, a person who lives and breathes like them, they will feel that the sky is about to fall, they would prefer to have a human god in this world to rule over them, they don't need to think but just obey.

Since the image of the emperor can meet the needs of mankind, of course Birac can.

He knew that he needed to present himself as a strong leader at all times, as a defender against all enemies, as a guardian of the nezumi frenzy, and as a haunting Bal cultist nemesis in the upper and lower cities, so that he could always maintain his position of honor and move towards his initial goal.

Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate.

This position has been planned by Birac for a long time.

The rulers of Baldur's Gate have always been four dukes, and their origins begin with the founder of Baldur's Gate, Bodean.

The Gate of Baldur was established after the return of the first great voyage of the famous navigator Bodan, who used his wealth to build his hometown of Grey Harbor from a small shelter into a town with high walls when Bodean returned from a great fortune, after which Bodian disappeared on a voyage and never returned.

The huge granite wall successfully isolated the orcs, goblins, robbers and other forces from the outside, and the people in the Grey Harbor were safe, and in gratitude for Bod'an's contribution and the huge granite wall he left behind, the gate of the wall was named - Baldur's Gate.

Within a few years, the captains, seamen, and privateers of the fleet left behind by Bodean gradually clashed with the local population, and the local landlords of Baldur's Gate tried to take control of the city walls and collect taxes from all those who wanted to enter Baldur's Gate, which aroused the anger of Bod'an's companions and seamen, and the four supreme captains led an army of seafarers' privateers to storm Baldur's Gate, relying on force to force the landlords to surrender, and the two sides signed an armistice.

As a result, the four supreme captains gained supreme power at Baldur's Gate, and became the first "Four Dukes of Baldur".

Birac was close to actually controlling Flame Fist, and Duke Iltan couldn't lead Flame Fist to a great victory against the Skaven in any location like Birac, and the virtuous Duke didn't mind letting Bilak inherit his dukedom.

But that's not enough.

What if you could keep Baldur's Gate at war? What if Baldur's Gate always needed the military and personal prowess of Taks? What if every commoner at Baldur's Gate thinks that only Takshi has Baldur's Gate?

In this special time, doesn't Baldur's Gate need a strong dictatorial leader who can truly take power alone?

Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate!

I'm afraid no one will know that the nezumi were attracted by Birac, and no one will know that the two divine powers took the initiative to find Birac and ask for an alliance.

The fallen Blazing Heavenly Envoy, the former Nine Hells Great Devil Lord Marchekid and Birac are simply too close to each other, the experiences of the two sides are so similar, and their needs complement each other, Marchekid doesn't want to do anything but take revenge on the elves, he is as familiar with the elven god system as the demonic elf horses, devils and demon legions across the river are very much Birac's appetite.

Marchekid has a strong fighting power, and as for the conditions demanded by the other party, such as expelling all the elves, destroying the elven stronghold of the Supreme Forest, destroying Everisca, and killing the island of Eternal Gathering - if Birac can succeed, then why not do it?

As for the Succubus Queen Mecansut...... Birac licked his lips.

The encounter between Mecanshut and Birac was an accident, the Succubus Queen has been looking for a rebellious succubus in the mortal world, her radiant nun happened to meet Birac, the charm of the original demon prince, the perfect body, and the powerful strength made Mecanshut deeply fascinated by Birac, and the two kinds of divine powers soon thundered and thundered, and the succubus queen was greasy together like a rain after a long drought, and the perfect posture of the Succubus Queen and the commotion in her bones made Birac feel that he could still get some happiness from the pleasure of the flesh for a long time, Mecanshut, on the other hand, immediately abandoned her former spouse, Demogorgon.

She had long been unhappy with the ugliness of Demogorgen, but on the contrary, Birac was more in tune with her in body, soul, and divinity.

"We only need you to announce it, and we will immediately support you as the orthodox demon prince of the bottomless abyss!"

The Triumvirate was formed.

There is no doubt that the alliance between Birac and Marchekid and Mecanciut is fragile, destined to break down one day from the moment it was concluded, and Birac does not mind betraying it at the right time if needed, but at least for the time being, the alliance of the three divine powers is relatively strong, they all need each other very much, and there is no conflict of core interests.

As for the local gods of the realm, in fact, Birak is also secretly contacting, and this time he is serious.

He really wanted to be a god in the kingdom.

Following behind the Flame Fist Commander, Takshi made a slow but determined march through the corridor along the Bright Hall.

As he walked, the heavy armor on Takshi's body was almost silent, and the collaboration between the Craftsman of Gond and the priest of Moradin created the perfect armor, where every joint, every curvature of the steel plate fit together perfectly without a single blemish.

As Tuckers walked, only the clanging of his cane on the hard floor echoed through the hallway, and a huge door appeared in front of him. The door panels are cast in heavy bronze and steel and set in a foot-thick solid oak frame.

This is Baldur's Gate – Bodean's most important legacy to the city.

The heavy rope was pulled, the winch turned, the door burst open, the nobles in the hall had been waiting for a long time, the priests of the gods, the big businessmen, and the reporters of the daily Baldur were equally impatient, and as the thirty or so people representing the various classes of symbols of the Baldur's Gate assumed proper respectful poses, the noise of movement reached the high vaulted ceiling, and under the gaze of everyone, Birac walked to his place. The attendant pulled the magic megaphone to the large round table in the council chamber with the efficiency of a mouse.

For the first time, Takshi, the son of Kyaw Chang'an, accepted everyone's questions.

"Lord Taks, the Gate of Baldur is very grateful for your contribution to the city, but there is one thing we want to clarify, do you consider yourself to be the son of a Duke of Karatu?"

Tuckers smiled and nodded: "I have always been proud that I am the child of the Great General of the Left Guard of Jue Chang'an, I have never concealed my identity as the son of the Duke of Blackwater, I am very grateful for the support of my relatives, but I am also the son of Bode, I have 25-35% of the blood of Bode in my body, I feel that we are all engaged in a great cause, it should not be necessarily related to nationality." It shouldn't be something that distinguishes people, and it's enough that we come together here and fight to defend the city. ”

"Of course we know your greatness, but we still need to confirm, do you consider yourself a Bode or a Karatu? Are you planning to live here permanently? A red-haired reporter asked.

More than thirty pairs of eyes were staring at Tuckers, waiting for his answer.

"As you can see, I can speak fluent lingua franca, I have the blood of the Bode people in my body, I have family members from Bode, and when I came here, I had a feeling of coming home, so I was a Xianglong person in Xianglong, and I was a Bode person in Bode, and my relatives used to leave here, and now, I am back, and I prove with my body and soul that I am leaving, just to return better!"

Tuckers's speech touched everyone present, and the applause lasted for a long time.

For the next hour, Tuckers took all the doubts in stride, any sharp questions were answered, and as the question session ended, Tuckers was officially recognized by the four Duke of Baldur, and he will temporarily act as the commander of the Flame Fist and the city administrator, so that he can better integrate his forces in the face of the approaching rat tide.

The title of Grand Duke of Balde was also officially included in the discussion of the City Council, and if Takshi could indeed lead Baldur's Gate through this crisis, then the City Council would most likely allow the emergence of a dictator for life.

After the questioning session, Tuckers got a message from his subordinates.

"Aaron Salian and his men are about to arrive at Candlefort."

This news quickly alerted Birac, who was already aware of what Aaron was doing in the Tower of Moonrise, and that his presence was likely to cause unpredictable changes in Birac's plans.

Originally, Birac believed that Aaron was both a Suren Elect and had offended Shar in the Tower of Moonrise, and that the Night Lady would undoubtedly support him and form an alliance with him.

However, when the Primordial Demon Prince contacted the Night Lady, Shar responded with the most contemptuous scoff at Birac's proposal for an alliance.

He didn't look down on Birac and told him to get out.

This hurt Birak very much, and the Primordial Demon Prince thought to himself, you pretend to be a stinky blue pool and wait for me, and when I become a true chaos god in the realm, I will definitely destroy you at that time!

"Send men into the Candle Keep and keep an eye on Aaron's every move!" Birac secretly gave the Baal Death Eaters an order: "Rip his throat if you allow it!" ”

"Yes!"

The fight against the nezumi is not only a must-play, but it is really a drain on Billac.

Because the bighorned rat didn't plan to act.

…………

At the same time, in April, on the west coast of Sword Bay, Candle Castle, the towering cliffs of the sea, the end of the Lion Road.

Aaron pulled the car window and looked at the temple of knowledge in this realm, which is also the source of the whole story of "Baldur's Gate", and his eyes were full of memories.

Here I am, here I am.

Candlestick Orphans, Adventure Beginnings, Chanem.

Where the dream begins.

Updated~~~ Finally arrived at Candle Castle, hey, hey, Chanem~ My Chanem!
