A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

As the wargs turned and fled towards the Chongsa River in the south, they tried to use this deep and fast-flowing river to escape the enemy's pursuit.

A large number of unlucky hobgoblins, orcs and orc knights who were thrown down by them were immediately crushed by the roaring heavy cavalry.

That spectacular picture...

It was so bloody and cruel that even the people on the coalition side couldn't bear to look at it, and some even had poor mental endurance and couldn't help but spit it out.

Because if the heavy armored infantry trampled the goblins before and could barely leave some distinguishable stumps, broken arms and bloody torsos, then the guy who was trampled by the corpse-embedded creature that looked like a giant four-legged dinosaur was basically 100% safe. Pure meat sauce.

Even the hardest bones were easily crushed by the heavy four-legged legs wrapped in steel plates, and then trampled repeatedly by other heavy cavalry following behind, until they shattered into bone residue that was indistinguishable to the naked eye.

These hobgoblins, orcs, and half-orcs have completely merged into each other, covering the black soil with a layer of dark red flesh and blood mixture.

The indescribable cruelty and shock made even the Kalin-shirted camel cavalry and Silvermoon City heavy-armored knights who charged with them feel numb in their scalps.

As cavalrymen, no one knows better than them how desperate the enemy must be to face a charge of this scale and power on the battlefield.

I also understand very well that wargs and winter wolves would choose to leave the knight and cross the river to escape.

Except for those tragic heroes who have firm beliefs and are willing to accept death even in the face of death and make the final resistance, no intelligent creature can remain calm under the impact of more than two thousand giant monsters.

As for why the wolves chose to cross the river south instead of fleeing north on land, it was mainly due to the judgment that heavy cavalry could not easily cross the river.

After all, he is wearing such heavy metal armor. Anyone with any brains knows that if he goes into the river, he will definitely sink to the bottom instantly.

The average water depth of the Chongsa River is about 20 meters, and the deepest point is even more than 200 meters. It is a natural barrier used to block heavy cavalry.

And not far across the river is the Cloak Forest. As far as the eye can see, there are tall and dense trees, which are very suitable for wolves to hide.

From this point alone, it can be seen that both winter wolves and wargs have extremely high IQs.

Especially those guys who have been allied with hobgoblins, orcs and orcs to participate in wars for many years. They are definitely better than the other monkeys, otherwise they would have died in a fierce battle or conflict long ago.

However, these smart wolves have obviously forgotten one thing, that is, there is an astonishing mage group in the coalition forces.

As the temporarily appointed supreme commander, Vera used the last ray of light from the almost completely set sun to keenly capture the direction in which the wolves were escaping. She also knew that Zuo Si's goal was to use this war to significantly reduce the land. The number of monsters on the opponent's side was so high that he had no intention of letting the opponent go.

Without saying a word, she immediately asked Jeffrey, who was responsible for commanding the mages and warlocks next to her: "Master, do you have a way to get rid of these wolves? If they are allowed to escape, it is very likely that they will destroy the Bay Coast Highway in the future. poses a huge threat to security."

"It's a piece of cake! Leave it to me."

The corners of Jeffrey's mouth raised slightly and he agreed without thinking.

In less than thirty seconds, he led more than 300 mages to begin chanting spells at the same time for joint spellcasting.

While the wolves were still swimming hard in the river to reach the other side, a biting chill suddenly surged from the water.

Perhaps for winter wolves who are immune to cold damage, this low temperature is nothing for the time being, but for wargs, it is life-threatening.

As the temperature dropped lower and lower, their limbs began to become stiff, and their body temperature was rapidly lost in the cold water. Eventually, they were frozen together with the entire river surface into lifelike sculptures.

Of course, the winter wolf wasn't much better.

Although these guys with pure white hair are not harmed by the cold, they are unable to pull out their lower bodies from the ice under the frozen river surface, and can only keep making rapid and desperate wails.

From a distance, the river that stretches for two to three kilometers is full of frozen wolves with half of their bodies stuck under the ice of the river and half of their bodies exposed.

As for the few remaining people who had not yet had time to get into the river, they were so frightened that they retreated and quickly turned and fled towards the north.

However, since the entire battlefield was an open plain, they were not sheltered by any plants at all, and were quickly killed by the swooping dragon knights on the way to escape.

You must know that both winter wolves and wargs will pose a huge threat to agriculture and animal husbandry.

They know very well that tracking and hunting in the wild is much more difficult than sneaking into human villages and towns.

Therefore, they often take advantage of the dark moon and high winds to attack cattle, sheep, horses, mules, donkeys, chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry in the corral.

Every successful hunt means that a farmer will suffer unimaginable huge losses, and may even directly lead to bankruptcy and suicide.

In addition, these cunning magical predators do not mind treating people, especially children with little resistance, as potential food when they cannot find other better meat.

Therefore, in areas where wargs and winter wolves are frequent, many towns will issue bounties for a long time to encourage hunters and adventurers to hunt them to ensure that they do not breed to a terrifying size.

Seeing that most of the wolves had been wiped out on the river, Vera's face suddenly showed an expression of satisfaction, and she once again turned her attention to the charging heavy cavalry.

At this moment, these behemoths that had completely increased their speed made a big circle on the wide right wing, then reorganized their formation, held high the frightening multi-colored flag, and once again launched a thunderous charge.

Boom, boom, boom! ! ! !

With a deafening bang and the trembling of the earth, they crashed directly into the main army composed of trolls, giants and ogres.

This group of big guys with a minimum height of three meters immediately changed direction and raised their super spears, which were specially used to defend against cavalry charges and had an average length of more than twelve meters, and began to support the defensive formation.

A war troll who had obviously been transformed and trained by the magic of the church of Bane, the god of tyranny, was waving the sword in his hand that symbolized command authority and shouted at his subordinates: "Hold still! Hold still!"

do not be afraid!

it's not a big deal!

Don’t forget we are trolls!

The invincible troll!

As long as there is no acid or fire, nothing can kill us!

Think carefully about how many benefits His Excellency Fuzoul Chanbury will generously reward us if we win this war!

So don't retreat!

No escape!

Have the courage to use the spears in your hands to resist the impact of the enemy's cavalry! "

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!"

"Kill them all!"

"Eat them!"

…

It has to be said that compared to the cunningness of wargs and winter wolves, the troll's brain is really not good enough (the intelligence attribute is only six points, which is slightly higher than the beast but lower than the goblin. From the perspective of normal humans, it is a pure Purely mentally retarded), and very, very easy to fool.

Generally speaking, as long as you can satisfy the appetite that easily causes hunger, and then convince these idiots that you are stronger than them, you can drive them to serve you.

Obviously, this group of trolls who have been fed by Zhentil Keep for a period of time are very convinced that Fuzor Chambery has endless food and meat so that they will never starve.

Therefore, they have an inexplicable fanaticism and loyalty to Fu Zouer Chambery.

If circumstances permit, the Tyrant of the Moon Sea actually really wants to retain an army of trolls.

After all, trolls are not afraid of being injured, will not die from ordinary physical attacks, and can regenerate infinitely. They are simply born and extremely perfect warriors and soldiers.

As for the two weaknesses of weak fire and weak acid, strictly speaking, they are not weaknesses at all.

You must know that even human or orc soldiers will not perform any better than trolls when faced with fire and acid attacks.

Unfortunately, the cost of raising a troll is equivalent to seven or eight human or orc soldiers, which is very uneconomical.

Therefore, Fuzor Chamberry could only bear the pain and planned to abandon all the big-bellied trolls, giants and ogres.

Soon, twelve phalanxes composed entirely of trolls crowded together tightly, forming a creepy forest of guns.

In particular, their arms are much longer than other humanoid races, so they are more comfortable using long-handled weapons.

A twelve-meter super spear like this, which humans and orcs cannot control at all, is just right for trolls.

Coupled with the strong metal armor, not to mention the cavalry composed of war horses or camels, even the famous War Rider (a large bipedal carnivorous dinosaur that has been transformed and tamed by magic, can be regarded as a smaller version of Tyrannosaurus Rex, Also wearing heavy armor from head to toe), when he comes, he will be instantly frightened by the densely packed spear points with cold light, and he will stop and not dare to get close.

After all, the instinct of animals is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

They couldn't be so stubborn as to rush upward knowing that they would die if they hit it.

Otherwise, many heavy cavalrymen would not deliberately cover their horses' eyes when charging.

But unfortunately, what these troll spearmen encountered this time was not a living creature, but a corpse-embedded creature that was spliced ​​and transformed from corpses.

As a type of undead, they have neither thoughts nor emotions, let alone fatigue and fear. They will only obey the orders given by the rider 100%.

The rider obtains the commander's orders through the mobile terminal in the fully enclosed helmet.

They are like gears on a precision machine, and can even maintain or change formations while traveling at high speeds.

Anyone who knows something about modern warfare can see that this is definitely the result of a high degree of informationization.

The scepter in Vera's hand that symbolizes command power is actually an information collection device that allows the holder to clearly feel the location, status and casualties of the more than 8,000 new troops.

To put it simply, it flattens the complex battlefield into a simple real-time strategy game.

She can control each unit precisely like a game player using a mouse, making each soldier advance or retreat, or outflank, and perform some tedious and complicated micro-operations.

Instructions such as advancing the battle line two meters further and raising the lance half an inch are no longer jokes and jokes, but can actually have an effect.

It's a pity that outsiders don't know the secrets of the fully enclosed helmet and command staff, and they also can't understand what high informatization means for war.

In less than half a minute, Vera controlled her cavalry to show off in front of the enemy.

I saw that the heavy cavalry, which was originally charging in a forward formation, suddenly made a sharp turn less than thirty meters away from the target. With incredible coordination ability, it divided into two teams, one on the left and one on the right. A phalanx of spears was half pocketed inside.

Tyro, the general under Shane VII, led the camel cavalry and began to circle, throwing the oil cans they carried with them into the areas where the trolls were densest, and then fired rockets to ignite the oil.

In the blink of an eye, the trolls, who were ready to receive the cavalry charge one second, began to flee in panic the next second.

Even if there are war trolls to suppress the formation, it will be useless.

As we all know, the most important thing why the spear phalanx can withstand the charge of the cavalry to a certain extent is that it must never be chaotic, and it must maintain sufficient thickness and a tight formation.

But now, the trolls under the threat of the flames have obviously suffered a mental breakdown. They are basically either running away or desperately trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

no way!

The fear of fire and strong acid has long been deeply engraved in their genes, so this reaction is both natural and instinctive, and cannot be eliminated in a short time through discipline and training.

At this time, the heavy cavalry who had just set up a semi-encirclement net began to chase and trample them. It didn't take long before they successfully annihilated twelve troll phalanxes and more than five hundred trolls.

Some of them were burned alive as the flames spread outwards, while a small number were just cut into several or even more than a dozen sections, and then trampled on again. For a while, they couldn't put themselves back together again. Piece it all together.

However, even fatal injuries such as the head being chopped off, the limbs being separated from the torso, and the intestines and other internal organs being pulled out, are nothing to a troll with unlimited regeneration capabilities.

In a few hours at most, they will be bouncing around again in their smaller size.

After taking care of the trolls on the defensive flanks, the heavy cavalry quickly aimed at the phalanx where the enemy's central army was fighting with their own infantry.

But at this time, almost dozens of minutes had passed since the war started, and the sky was completely dark.

Except for the Amn New Army, which can still clearly distinguish the surrounding situation with the help of Shuoyou mobile terminal, the rest of the coalition forces, which are mainly humans, have begun to have trouble seeing the situation on the battlefield.

For the sake of caution, some officers began to become more and more cautious in their tactics, preferring to be a little more conservative than to advance rashly.

Obviously, this was the retreat opportunity that Fuzoul Chamberry had been waiting for.

Without any hesitation at all, he directly gave the order to the transport ship docked near the river to go all the way east, while he and Manson stayed where they were and continued to pretend to command.

After all, given the current situation, if Fuzoul Qianberry also ran along, the cannon fodder on the entire battlefield would probably collapse in a matter of minutes.

What's more, there is one thing he hasn't done yet, which is to send the black and green dragons around him who were abducted with huge sums of money to die.

Of course, this is not an easy task.

Especially the Green Dragon, whose sinister and cunning character no one would believe, is a natural master of conspiracy.

Therefore, Fu Zouer Chamberry must make himself look confident and convince the other party that he has a complete plan to turn defeat into victory.

He first pretended to issue some counterattack orders, then turned around and said to several dragons: "I need your help now!"

"Help? What kind of help?"

A male adult green dragon asked back very warily.

As the green dragons who claim to be the smartest among the evil colored dragons, they obviously have seen the previous situation on the battlefield and understand that the opponent has a considerable air force.

Although he was proud and did not think that these dragon beasts with low intelligence and allowing lowly humans to ride on their backs could pose any threat to a real dragon like himself, the astonishing number was still worthy of careful handling.

What's more, the coalition forces also have a very powerful mage group.

The dragon may despise ordinary armies that are bound to the ground by gravity, but they will never underestimate any spellcaster.

Especially when they come together, even the lowest level of magic can cause terrible damage as long as there are enough.

"It's simple!

Give some color to those heavy cavalry who are charging, cutting, and surrounding unscrupulously on the battlefield.

I need a moment to plan a counterattack.

I believe you should also know that the human race cannot have very good vision at night. This is our opportunity to regain our disadvantage.

As for the enemy's flying dragon troops, ignore them for now.

If they attack, you can retreat immediately and use the cover of the enchanted crossbow and bed crossbow to kill them. "

Fuzuoer Qianberry pretended to be confident of victory and said deceitfully.

He understood that before he left, he had to solve the hidden dangers of these dragons.

Otherwise, let's not talk about whether these dragons will turn around and loot and destroy Baldur's Gate after discovering that they have been deceived, which will eventually trigger Zuo Si's anger.

Just having to cause trouble for yourself from time to time in the future is enough to give you a headache.

You must know that dragons, especially evil dragons, are full of grudge attributes.

Shane IV simply caused the destruction of the empire and his own family simply because he tricked the "Sharp Tooth" Ivicola Sagrain, who was still a loli at the time;

A group of nobles united to pay a reward to kill Balagas "Flying Flame". As a result, these noble territories and their castles were reduced to ashes in the blazing flames.

Therefore, the cost and price of offending a dragon are simply unimaginable.

As the saying goes, thirty years in Hedong means thirty years in Hexi.

Regardless of the fact that today's teenagers or newly adult dragons are not a big threat.

But the problem is that you have no idea at what exaggerated speed they will grow after being stimulated, and eventually become one of the Dragon Kings of Faerûn.

Therefore, these green dragons and black dragons in front of us must die tonight!

Otherwise, anyone who survives will be in trouble.

Since most green dragons are lawful evil creatures, and all of them come from the dragon forest near Soba, they immediately got together for a brief discussion, and finally agreed without finding any obvious traps.

As for the other black dragons, they acted indifferently and agreed simply after some haggling.

The price is nothing more than the amount of gold coins worth of treasure or magic items that can be obtained during this action.

Since Fozol Chambery had no intention of paying, it was a pleasure to write a bad check.

After all, according to the traditions and rules of mercenaries, there is no need to pay military pay or bounty to the dead. It is the same if the person is replaced by a dragon. There is no difference.

This is not because he failed to fulfill his promise, but because he blamed the other party for not being able to survive.

Full of desire for wealth, these evil dragons, the youngest of which was only young and the largest of which was no more than a man in their prime, quickly took off under the cover of the night, carefully avoiding everyone's sight, and planned to find an opportunity to swoop down. Breathes deadly breath.

The dragon's breath sprayed by the green dragon and the black dragon both cause strong acid damage, but one is gas and the other is liquid.

If we compare the damage caused by strong acid energy alone, then of course the black dragon's liquid acid is more corrosive.

But if there is anyone who can kill a larger area, it must be the acid mist that the green dragon can spread.

However, these evil dragons didn't know that as soon as they set off with their front legs, Fuzoul Chanberry launched a magical message to Zuo Si with his back legs.

After receiving the message, the latter quickly released several prophecy spells and confirmed the locations of the seven evil dragons, but he did not choose to act rashly. He still had a calm and faint smile on his face, making it unclear. What on earth was going on in his mind.

About seven or eight minutes later, when these black dragons and green dragons locked the position of the heavy cavalry on the ground and began to dive, they suddenly saw several similar ones with golden and silver light rushing out from the clouds.

A metal dragon from the good camp? !

Their faces suddenly changed, and they didn't even care about the enemies on the ground. Instead, they began to chant dragon language magic and tried their best to add a few more protective magics to themselves before starting to fight at close range.

It's a pity that these guys only simply added one or two mage armors, shields, and camp protections - being kind, the opponent has already pounced on them.

On the back of one of the golden dragons, there was an elf girl with long golden hair sitting. It was Gelsanya who was sent out by Zuo Si not long ago to sway people.

In fact, she had contacted Zuo Si two days ago and asked to lead the metal dragons to join the coalition, but she was rejected.

The reason...

Naturally, it was because of the unexpected ambush that everyone saw in front of them.

"Charge! Kill these evil descendants of Tiamat! Justice will prevail!"

Garsania pulled out a mithril sword that glowed with cold light and shouted loudly.

Since she had temporarily lost the ability to fly, she did not transform into a dragon form. Instead, she joined the battle as a knight, jumped on the back of one of the black dragons, and stabbed her weapon into the edge of the opponent's wing.

"Ah!!!!!!! You damn golden dragon bitch! I'm going to tear you apart!"

The black dragon immediately turned its head in pain, trying to pull down this mortal enemy who remained in the form of an elf for some unknown reason.

But unfortunately, Gersania had a teleportation ring in her hand, and she immediately activated it and returned to the back of the previous golden dragon. She followed the same pattern and opened a bleeding port on the neck of the other green dragon.

Ever since, this aerial battle between the metal dragon of the good camp and the chromatic dragon of the evil camp was staged under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.

Seeing that the target had been entangled, Zuo Si's 500-man air force immediately took to the air and surrounded it, intending to cooperate with the metal dragon to severely damage and capture these evil dragons one by one.

Compared to the exciting battles in the sky, the battles on the ground have also become intense.

In particular, the crushing charges launched by the heavy cavalry against the rain of arrows and spears again and again stunned many representatives of the towns in the North who had never seen much of the world.

Many of the mounts had several or even a dozen spears inserted into their bodies, and the red liquid that looked like blood was constantly pouring out of their bodies. However, they still had no intention of stopping, and they still took the lead in charging towards the spear phalanx again and again.

trample!

trample!

trample!

Even the camel cavalry and Silvermoon City knights who were following behind were already furious at this moment.

That unparalleled feeling of excitement makes everyone deeply fascinated and addicted.

If their mounts weren't already exhausted, they could only withdraw for repairs. Otherwise, they would definitely follow them until all the monsters were driven away.

Just as the coalition forces continued to squeeze the opponent's movement and living space on the frontal battlefield, more than a thousand dark elves hiding in the dark finally showed their sharp fangs.

With the help of excellent stealth abilities and invisibility potions, they easily penetrated into the enemy's rear with their petite stature, and then jumped out of the darkness in an instant, wielding sharp scimitars and long swords at lightning speeds. Insert into the target's eyes, jaw, back of neck, heart and other key parts.

Especially the blade of the sword with its strange luster, it was obvious at first glance that it was coated with lethal nerve and muscle toxins.

Just one blow!

Thousands of ogres and hill giants fell in a pool of blood.

Its superb killing efficiency is simply not comparable to those soldiers on the frontal battlefield.

Before the enemy had time to react to what was happening, the dark elf drank the invisibility potion again and disappeared into the shadows.

Less than three to five seconds later, they once again selected a target and attacked collectively, causing more than a dozen infantry phalanxes to fall like wheat.

After some smarter guys realized the drow's terrifying sneak attack and assassination capabilities, they all formed back-to-back circular formations in an attempt to defend themselves.

But they obviously forgot that the dark elves have agility attributes that far exceed those of other races.

Many dark elf warriors have exaggerated agility attributes of more than 20 points after reaching adulthood.

And agility means a better sense of balance, nerve reflex speed, and body coordination.

To sum it up simply, in their eyes, the attacks and defenses of enemies whose agility cannot reach 18 points are simply like slow motion.

This is also the reason why the dark elves are obviously smaller in size and notoriously poor in strength and endurance, but they can create terrifying results.

Coupled with the blessing of magic potions, divine spells and arcane spells, even trolls, giants and ogres can hardly take advantage of them.

After all, if you have the strength, you have to be able to hit someone.

When Kui Lu led the dark elves to leave the shelter of the shadow for the third time, everyone finally saw the horror of the "drow" that made the surface world change.

Some guys with higher warrior levels even acted like dancers, jumping up under the moonlight and stepping on the spear in the enemy's hand to rush forward, piercing the opponent's eye socket with lightning speed, and then a sliding shovel came from another The tall enemy ducked under his crotch to avoid other people's attacks, and even helped the unlucky guy complete the castration.

Slow-moving ogres, trolls and giants, in front of these short, extremely agile, dark-skinned elves, are like stupid giants being manipulated in the palm of their hand.

In particular, their long-handled weapons, which can reach more than ten meters at a time, are not effective at close range. It is a good thing not to hurt friendly forces by mistake.

There is no doubt that the outcome of the war has become obvious at this point.

Whether it is the heavy infantry advancing steadily from the front, the heavy armored cavalry constantly attacking from the flanks, or the air force surrounding several evil dragons overhead for a righteous group fight, they have already achieved an overwhelming advantage. .

The dark elves' swift attack from behind was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Fuzor Chamberry immediately said to the last clone of Manson beside him: "The matter has been settled, and it's time for us to leave. Otherwise, the Queen of Silvermoon City, Alustriel, will definitely I don’t mind settling accounts with us when we have such an absolute advantage.”

"Of course, no problem! Come on, hold on to me."

Mansong's last clone showed a very lewd smile and motioned for the other party to hug his waist.

"..."

The corners of Fuzoer Chamberry's mouth were obviously twitching violently, and he suppressed the nausea in his heart and chose to do so.

After a while, they used teleportation magic and disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, after Zuo Si noticed that the two men had left, he immediately gave instructions to the mage group to use full firepower.

You must know that the current coalition includes not only members of the Masked Mage Guild and the Arcane Society who have absorbed the Emerald Society, but also members of the mage group from Silvermoon City and Waterdeep City.

With such a powerful force, even the red-robed Serge, who founded his country with arcane magic, had to hide away when he came.

Not to mention the cannon fodder in front of them who have lost the protection of Zhentil Castle's magical power.

Under the joint casting of thousands of mages and warlocks, burning meteorites, huge fireballs, and thunder and lightning storms full of destructive power hit the enemy's position like raindrops.

No sympathy!

No mercy!

We will not accept any surrender!

Some are just killing without mercy!

Some of the monsters who were cornered tried to turn around and escape into Baldur's Gate to rely on the city wall for defense, while others tried to cross the frozen Chongsa River, but in the end they were all killed by the dragon knights who fell from the sky, leaving nothing behind.

Although these fast-growing dragons created by magic gene technology do not have extremely high IQ, spell-like abilities and magic resistance like the real dragons in Faerun.

But it is not weak in the power of its breath, and it can also understand the complex commands given by the knight on its back, making it very suitable for the job of following and killing deserters.

Under their pursuit, almost no monsters can leave the battlefield alive, even if it is already a dark night.

"Phew - it's finally over. Much faster than I thought. It seems that through this battle, you can basically establish your unshakable dominance on the west coast." Alustriel said a long sentence He commented in a tone of voice.

But Zuo Si smiled and shook his head and responded: "No, madam, this is not the end, but the beginning. My generation is coming soon. Are you ready for an unprecedented impact and change?"

"Haha, of course I'm ready.

In fact, I was not only mentally prepared for the impact, but physically as well.

Why don't we hold candlelight tonight and discuss the topic of impact? "

Alustriel inadvertently licked his lips and hinted.

Such naked and unabashed words immediately made Piergalen, the open lord of Waterdeep City who came with the troops, choke on his own saliva. He kept coughing violently. It took him a while to calm down, with a face full of embarrassment. ’s explanation: “I’m sorry, I...my mouth is a little too dry, so I urgently need to add some water.”

After saying that, he quickly took a glass of wine from the attendant's hand and drank it down in one gulp.

As for Kelben on the side, he could only hold his forehead and sigh helplessly.

In his opinion, Alustriel was excellent in almost every way.

Whether it is personality charm, gentle and considerate character, beautiful appearance, tall and sexy figure, strong sense of responsibility and mission, keen political sense, excellent governance and ruling ability...

If you want to find an ideal partner among the sisters in the North who is closest to the ideal partner in a man's mind, then Alustriel must be on the top of the list.

Otherwise, Sammaster, who was disappointed with the second-generation magic goddess, would not have quickly fallen under this tender offensive, or even fallen into deep obsession.

But there is a small problem, that is, Alustriel's private life is a bit too chaotic.

She gave birth to twelve children just by one elf lord who had helped her, and she had sex with countless more.

The much-talked-about bath is definitely an obvious invitation.

Many people even regard it as an affair.

Normally only those who show extraordinary talents and qualities are eligible to enter and spend a happy time with Her Majesty the Queen.

After all, do you believe that a man and a woman are naked in the same room together for an hour or two, just taking a bath?

Anyway, Kelben, who is also the chosen one of the Magic Goddess, doesn’t believe it at all.

"Don't worry, madam, we will have many opportunities in the future. But before that, let's destroy the remaining enemies and regain Baldur's Gate."

Zuo Si calmly rejected Alustriel once again.

As a politician, he is very aware of the importance of maintaining his image of fairness and impartiality.

Especially in public places like now, as long as you show the slightest bit of greed or lust, the persona you have put a lot of effort into building will instantly collapse.

No matter what they want to do in the future, representatives from other towns will think that Zuo Si is having an affair with Alustriel, and they will definitely favor Silvermoon City and even the Silvermoon Alliance, so they must not let go at all.

"That's such a shame."

Alustriel was obviously used to being rejected, he just smiled and did not continue to pester.

After dealing with this woman who had a decisive influence in the Northland, Zuo Si once again set his sights on the only public lord representing Waterdeep City. He smiled and tried: "Your Excellency Piergalen, after this war is over, I plan to open a channel from Afghanistan." What do you think of the direct air route from Skatra to Waterdeep?"

"No problem at all.

Haven't we already joined the trade alliance?

Just do everything according to the rules.

And from my personal perspective, I have long wanted to join this trade organization that unifies markets and tariffs.

Unfortunately, the guild leaders and nobles were always arguing, so it was delayed for a while. "

Piergalen also responded with a smile.

Although he had a big quarrel with Kelben and other lords who agreed with them over those treaties, he still maintained the same attitude with great grace when dealing with the outside world.

This is also the reason why Waterdeep can stand and continue to grow and develop in the North.

On the surface they are democratic, but in reality they implement an elitist and oligarchic political system, which ensures social stability and the continuity of their long-term policies.

What's more, joining the Trade Alliance meant getting a share of the lucrative New World trade.

This is what all the forces that have witnessed the rapid expansion of Amn's wealth in the past two years desire most.

"Excellent!

With the addition of Waterdeep, the Trade Alliance covers the entire west coast of Faerûn, from the Sea of ​​Glory, the Lake of Steam to the Sea of ​​Swords, the Sword Coast, and the Dragon Coast, covering a population of more than 10 million.

And a huge market will benefit us all.

To celebrate this historic moment and this brilliant victory today.

I would like to have a drink and wish you all a happy cooperation. What do you think? "

Zuo Si stood up slowly and winked at the guard at the door.

The latter immediately understood and quickly went out to get dozens of silver cups and distributed them to the representatives of various towns present, and then poured a glass of wine for everyone.

Obviously, he was not doing this out of boredom to have some friendship, but to use victory on this battlefield to force Waterdeep City to surrender in public, and then declare his unshakable leadership position.

In other words, starting from today, the leader in this area will be completely changed.

From now on, Waterdeep City will no longer have the power to convene other towns to form an alliance. At the same time, the Northland Lords Alliance, an organization created to fight against the Proto-Luskan Arcane Brotherhood, will also be officially disbanded from this moment on.

The Trade Alliance not only covers all the functions of the Northland Lords Alliance, but also further deepens the economic cooperation between them.

Compared with the former, the latter has no need to continue to exist at all.

Looking at the wine glass in his hand, Piergalen's eyes clearly contained suppressed anger and unwillingness.

Although he had expected such a result when he came, he still couldn't help but feel humiliated when it actually happened.

Because during the period when he served as an open lord, Waterdeep City not only failed to make further progress, but also lost the leadership of the Northland.

Representatives from other towns seemed to have realized something, and they all watched with bated breath as the power transition between the old and new overlords took place.

But no matter how angry he was, Piergalen showed the qualities a politician should have. He barely managed a smile, raised his glass and said: "I wish that we can become richer and more prosperous under the leadership of Your Excellency Soth! Let us!" Let the people live a better life than before! Cheers!"

"cheers!"

With the words spoken in unison, everyone present felt relieved and raised their glasses to drink.

Kelben hid behind and whispered to his wife Laila: "This day comes earlier than we expected, doesn't it? By the way, how are your arrangements with the Kingdom of Cormyr?"

“Don’t worry, Assan IV has agreed to our proposal.

If nothing else goes wrong, the Iron Princess Yalusel will personally lead a fleet to intercept Zhentil Fort's ships at sea.

I can guarantee that Fuzuoer Qianberry will not be able to transport even one-third of the supplies this time. "

Laila raised the corners of her mouth slightly and showed a meaningful smile.
