Chapter 436, The Biggest Winners and the Biggest Losers

Inside the Iron Warrior Manufacturing Factory.

The heaviness of industry is evident in the factories, where heavy iron doors have collapsed in explosions, tall two-storey factories are shrouded in a thick layer of gray, ubiquitous pipes and cables have been destroyed in many places, and there are many half-finished products of steel warriors on the ground, in addition to the corpses of workers.

The technology that made the Iron Warriors is a mystery, it is the black technology that the Grand Duke of Taks brought back from Karatu, no one knows how the Iron Warriors were made and how they were controlled, everyone only knows that this mass-produced war machine has brought a huge shock to the Bodhurs, and once caused a discussion about whether most of the Wardens and Flame Fist formations can be canceled.

Now an uninvited guest has arrived at the manufacturing plant.

Fifty-year-old wolf boy Ana wields his Storm Fang greatsword, and he senses his brother's breath in the giant factory, which makes Ana frown, and strides into the destroyed iron door, only to find that someone has arrived.

The Sun Elf Lady also stood at the gate of the core place, the air was filled with the unimaginable smell of steam and coal, and the smell of burning electricity.

"Who are you?"

"Debt collectors." Ana, the reincarnation of Dorne, said, "I've come to collect my debts. ”

"Debt? I was surprised, did the Grand Duke of Takers pay what price did he get the technology to make the Iron Warriors? The Sun Elf Lady's eyes immediately lit up, and she said tentatively, "Do you know how to make Iron Warriors?" ”

"Takshi doesn't owe me anything, it's Bodean, Baldur's Gate." Ana was too lazy to talk nonsense with the Sun Elf lady: "Now, get out of the way, otherwise I won't show mercy to my subordinates, Mind Snatcher!" ”

The Sun Elf Lady is revealed by Ana, and is forced to reveal her true identity, the Legendary Mind Flayer Monarch.

The monarch was still as graceful as ever, he raised his octopus head with his hands behind his back, and there was a strange smile in his purple eyes, but in fact he was very cautious, and a psionic black hole in his hand was already aimed at Ana silently: "This city owes no one, child, if you know the secrets about the Iron Warriors, maybe, we can cooperate?" ”

"I'm not interested in working with the Mind Flayer, get out of the way." Arna was starting to get impatient: "Moreover, the city owes me a great deal, and its founder promised me that now that I am back, perhaps the Si people are gone, I still have the right to claim my interest. ”

"What's the proof?" The monarch's purple eyes locked onto Ana.

"The walls are made by my strength." Ana glanced outside.

What, is it you? Is it really you?!

The Legendary Mind Flayer Monarch's heart shrank (if he had one), and the purple eyes on the octopus's head locked onto Ana, the five-year-old.

He's coming! He's coming!

"You seem nervous?" Ana keenly felt the change in the Mind Flayer's expression: "You know about this? ”

Whew~ The fangs of the storm fell, only five centimeters away from the sovereign's head, and the legendary Mind Flayer didn't even have any time to react, and the shadow of death enveloped him.

"I ...... I love to study and study history, and I once learned in the brain of Bode Zonggui about the pact between Bodean, the founder of the city, and a demigod. The monarch slowly stepped back out of the range of the greatsword, unhurriedly telling what he knew, "So, you are the demigod Rog Dorne?" Bodean has been missing for centuries, how are you going to recover your interest from the city? ”

"I haven't figured it out yet...... But the Iron Warrior was created using filthy and depraved evil technology, and I must destroy it. Ana thought that no one in the entire Baldur's Gate knew about Bodean's shameless breach of contract, but seeing that the legendary Mind Flayer understood, he said a few more words: "Okay, if you don't want to die, get out of the way." ”

"Let me help you!" The monarch immediately changed his attitude, first bowing to Dorne in respect, and then pointing to the door sealed by magic: "I know how to crack these spells, Your Excellency can avoid harming innocent workers, and I can save a lot of time. ”

"Why are you helping me?" Dorne really doesn't understand magic.

"I own a knighthood in this city, a seat of Bode and a lot of real estate." The monarch naturally said: "If the city is good, I can be good, and if I can offset the debts of Bodean, in case of any of my original sin, I will gladly serve you." ”

"Lead the way." Dorne thought for a moment and felt that the monarch's proposal was reasonable.

β€œSir,this way!”

…………

The air was filled with the cheers of the Bod's men - the rat people were gone, and the Bode side had already won the game.

Timely reinforcements from the Flame Fist and the Silver Dragon Knights crushed the nezumi line, the Calamity Lords who had been invincible just a moment ago were all reduced to scattered parts, the Skaven Warlords' technologically charged dimensional stone armor was scattered all over the place, and the Skaven demons summoned by the Grey Prophets were banished along with the defeat of the Great Horned Rat.

While a handful of nezumi desperately tried to break out, the priests of Gonder and the mages of Mystra shattered their good wishes along with their bodies, and the bravest of the Plague Priests gathered all the remaining plague monks and rat trolls and slowly advanced towards the city gatesβ€”the priests were sharp enough to sense the banishment of the Great Horned Rats.

At this moment, Birac focused his attention on Eboud, Ammon and Reynard next to him, and he was about to make a move, when an explosion suddenly sounded on the shoreline of the lower town.

In the next second, all the Iron Warriors present lost control and fell on the spot.

What?

Someone destroyed the Iron Warriors' control core?!

Birak couldn't do that much at this time, he seized the opportunity to fly and grab the relatively weak Ebud and Ammon.

Shadow Prison!

Two dark gray shadows enveloped Eboud and Aamon, Ebrad didn't realize what was happening at this time, he stared blankly at himself being wrapped in gray shadows, and Ammon was much more sensitive, and at the moment when the gray shadows surrounded her, the girl quickly used the flickering dagger.

Biu~

Ebud vanished, and with Birac, the only thing left in place was the corpse of the Grand Duke of Taks.

It wasn't until the fog cleared, until the portal opened again, and the scarred and exhausted Golden King avatar limped out of the portal, that everyone realized that the battle was over.

The state of the Golden King's incarnation was as bad as its master's, the Golden Law Behemoth covered in his body was chopped up in many places, and there were shocking depressions and chips in many parts of the Great Mercy Tree King's body inside, Aaron lifted the Golden King incarnation almost as soon as he returned, and he fell to the ground with the equally exhausted Bouyere in his arms.

The great dragon dragon Egil was not seriously injured, and at this time, she crossed her hands on her hips and proudly announced to everyone, "The Rat God has been defeated by this seat!" ”

The battle is over.

The smoke and dust flying in the sky gradually fell, and in this brief silence, the dimensional stone thundercloud storm finally subsided.

"His Royal Highness!"

"His Royal Highness the Grand Duke!!" "No !!"

Out of nowhere, a scream rang out, and several loyal watchmen found the body of the Grand Duke of Tuckers.

The Grand Duke was killed in battle!

The news spread throughout the city in an instant, and Aaron couldn't help but be shocked as soon as he put the fairy princess Buyer down from his body.

Worthy of the cunning Primordial Demon Prince, he runs so fast!

He also wanted to clean him up after he dealt with the Bighorn Rat, and now it seems that he should have prepared a way out in advance and not give himself a chance to do it.

"Hey, minions!" The great dragon dragon Egil, who had turned back into a human form, rolled his eyes beside him, and his amber eyes shone with a layer of light: "Our chance has come, this battle has blown half the city into ruins, two of the four dukes have died, and the Warden and Flame Fist have suffered heavy losses, now is the opportunity to establish our sovereignty over this city!" ”

Aaron glanced at the big dragon dragon and thought to himself that it was worthy of a dragon, and for a dragon, no matter how big the territory was, it was not too much.

Looking at the sparkle in Egil's eyes, he thought that the dragon had been fascinated by the wealth and vitality of the place during his time at Baldur's Gate.

Mine, all mine, all riches are mine!

Baldur's Gate itself must try to control it, but this is not the time to put it in the air: "There is no urgency in this matter, Egil, we need to be patient. ”

The big dragon dragon wanted to say something, and there was already a earth-shattering noise in the deep pit.

"Our Grand Duke, His Highness Tuckers, the guardian of Baldur's Gate, has died in battle!"

"Our Grand Duke, His Highness Tuckers, the guardian of Baldur's Gate, has died in battle!"

"Our Grand Duke, His Highness Tuckers, the guardian of Baldur's Gate, has died in battle!"

Next to the Calamity Bell, in the deep pit, there was an exclamation from the surrounding ruins.

"Your Highness!" The Wardens and Flame Fist warriors who had followed Takshi to fight against the rat people in the north and south together wept bitterly on the spot.

Many Bode nobles, including Anta Silver Shield and Duke Iltan, were silent when they saw this, both sad and happy.

"Pastor, Pastor!" Immediately, a priest came up to try to unleash the resurrection, but the Grand Duke of Taks was probably completely dead, and no matter how hard the priest tried, he could not resurrect the Grand Duke.

Seeing that everyone surrounded Tuckers's corpse, Aaron finally allowed himself to enjoy a moment of catharsis, and the Children of Chaos leaned wearily on the stone pillar at his side and let out a long breath.

"Hey, minions!" Egil was dissatisfied: "You're just looking at it? We are the ones who defeated the Rat God! It's us, not the Demon Prince, and you're going to let him take our honor like that? ”

The big dragon dragon shook his fist, very dissatisfied with this result.

"It's to be expected that he'll run away, and in our current state, do we have what it takes to stop him?" Aaron chuckled and motioned to Egil not to worry, and he stretched out his right hand to touch Egil's gentle dragon horns.

"Ahh Da Longlong hurriedly retreated, his cheeks flushed, his hands covered his head and he twisted and complained in embarrassment: "Didn't I tell you, don't touch my horns?" Very, itchy! ”

"It's okay, let him run, he won't be able to run far." Aaron said meaningfully: "In this way, he wants to become the hero of the city, to be worshiped and believed by all, and in this way, he wants to understand the mystery of the kingdom becoming a god, and to collect the power of faith...... But did he ever think about what would happen if he was a primordial demon prince, the darkest and most evil being, if he was worshipped as a hero who saved the city all year round? ”

Beliefs in the kingdom are complex, and in many cases, beliefs can also affect the gods themselves, some gods choose to create a new face to absorb, some simply doppelganger, and some even block a certain belief altogether.

For the gods, it is not for everyone to believe in them.

For this layer, Birac has not yet understood that it will inevitably be affected when he intends to remain in the hearts of the Bode people in the image of a savior hero like Takshi the Redeemer to harvest the power of faith.

"Mr. Knight, are you planning to make Birac schizophrenic self-sufficiency? Or is it intended to force him to split? The fairy princess was rejoicing that she had finally helped Aaron: "Split into two, a good one and a bad one?" ”

"Don't you hold a grudge against Birac?" Aaron replied, "How about a good one and capture you as a servant?" ”

"That's really interesting, the former demon king has become my dependent, isn't it possible to write a new story?" Bouiller's big eyes blinked.

Seeing that Bouiller was really interested, Aaron thought to himself that it would be better to forget it.

The best outcome for Birac is to be trained into a new Chaos Relic by himself.

It's like a bighorned rat in the palm of his own hand, trained into the seed of the golden tree!

Now, it's time to deal with the aftermath of Taks.

Aaron smiled slightly, and released a treacherous oracle.

Next, it's harvest season!

…………

Compared to the bloody length of the Battle of Baldur's Gate, what followed went very smoothly, with the remnants of the city waiting for the purification operation, the corpses of the rats being incinerated in droves, the paladins and priests walking through the neighborhoods to cleanse Skaven of the corrosion, and the mages summoning a strong wind to blow away the storm haze created by the dimensionstone technology.

The Baldurian nobles turned a deaf ear to all this, and they were at this time carrying out the magical will of Grand Duke Tuckers.

In his will, the Grand Duke of Taks gave the following instructions on his own affairs.

First, half of all the property in his name was used for the reconstruction of Baldur's Gate, and half was given to Aaron Sallian, Viscount Cormier, with whom he had an unbreakable and indestructible friendship.

Second, Archduke Taks wanted to remove the position of Grand Duke and return Baldur's Gate to the rule of the Four Dukes, among them, Lady Julia, who had performed well in battle, was appointed by Taks as one of the dukes to fill the void of Duke Lila's assassination, and Taks also gave Lady Julia his mansion in Uptown as a thank you.

Third, the nezumi are a new species from the abyss, and from today onwards, the whole city will search and destroy the demon believers.

Fourth, the reconstruction of the city was entrusted to the Jerry Rainsdorf Chamber of Commerce, and he did the work, and Tuckers was relieved.

Fifth, thanks to Aaron's help, starting today, Baldur's Gate will lift the restrictions on the Silver Chamber of Commerce.

It was soon discovered that all but the third of the five articles in the will seemed to be in favor of the other human hero who saved Baldur's Gate, Aaron Salian from Cormier, although according to Tuckers's will, Aaron was indeed invited by him, but this was too ...... Isn't there a bit of a special relationship between these two people?

Although the only two surviving Duke of Bode (Duke of Belt Belt, who died in the explosion), although they had a lot of complaints about the will, Tuckers was the desire of Bode at this time, and they could not find the slightest flaw in the entire will, so they could only agree.

In this way, Birac earned a little face, and Aaron earned all the money and became the biggest winner.

And the real loser in this war is......

A little gray mouse was struggling hopelessly at the bottom of the unfathomably dark well, squeaking and cursing the perpetrator to no avail.

The seed of the golden tree in Aaron's palm shook slightly, and half of the Great Horned Rat's divine power, divine soul, and divine personality were here.

Rats and rats are about to be planted in the Sunset Collar and become the national pillar of the Purple Dragon Country!
