I am a god in another world
Chapter 898: Taking control of city defense
After dealing with the business, these shadow masters had the energy to take care of the shadow assassin who had been waiting beside them for a while. "We already know about you. For the next period of time, you will stay in the shadow nest for a while."
I don’t need to say more about how dangerous it is to lose your shadow, especially if the other person is someone who controls the power of immortality. If you are not careful, you may be replaced by your own shadow.
Don’t worry, we will help you find your lost shadow. In the name of the Lord of Shadows, no one can take any wealth away from us, especially the shadows. Everything is for the Lord of Shadows. "
"Everything is for the Lord of Shadows. Thank you all, I will take my leave now." Although the Shadow Assassin was unwilling to give in, he knew that what the Shadow Master said was the truth.
His current strength has been greatly reduced, and it is very dangerous to risk going out to perform missions again.
Maybe, the other party is trying every means to hunt him, trying to get information about the Shadow Master Guild from him.
The information he possesses is not comparable to that of an outsider named Parado.
As the shadow assassin Fyodor exited the Shadow Temple, the place fell into silence again, as if everything that had happened before was an illusion and no one existed here at all.
The Shadow Master Guild is a thieves organization with a very high degree of confidentiality. This confidentiality is not only kept secret from outsiders, but also within the organization.
Even at the level of Shadow Assassin Feodor, he had never seen the true face of a Shadow Master, and he didn't even know how many Shadow Masters there were in the Shadow Master Guild.
Just like himself, those shadow masters are top masters of disguise and have more than one face.
Perhaps the inconspicuous vendors on the roadside of Teflam, or those timid and cowardly businessmen, are disguised by a certain shadow master. They are everywhere and pervasive.
…
"Huh... Huh... Huh..." Lord Parador panted violently for several minutes before he felt that he was alive again. He hurriedly bowed to Gavin and saluted, "Thank you General for your life-saving grace. I didn't expect that those The despicable thieves actually sent the shadow of the shadow assassin to lurk in my shadow..."
This time Gavin no longer pretended to be stupid and asked: "The shadow assassin you are talking about is not the assassin of the Shadow Master Guild, is it?"
"Since the General has heard of the Shadow Masters Guild, it will be easier to explain." Parado was not surprised that Gavin knew about the Shadow Masters Guild.
After all, when you are at the level of the other party, you have many sources of information. If you don't know anything about it, then there is a problem with your ability.
Parado gritted his teeth and said: "This thieves guild is the biggest parasite of Tefram. They control most of the hotels, casinos and joy halls here.
They collected protection fees from those legitimate businessmen and wealthy people, and they even kept no fewer than three pirates in captivity on the Falling Star Sea.
For many merchants who are unwilling to pay protection fees to them, their ships will be frequently attacked by pirates until they pay the protection fees in full. "
The Lord of Parador has been dissatisfied with the Shadow Master Guild for a long time, but he dares to be angry but dare not speak out.
There is no legitimate businessman who does not hate or dislike such a thieves organization. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the wealth they have worked hard to gain has gone into other people's pockets. No one would want it if it were anyone else.
But they were unable to resist and could only swallow their anger.
"They are really good at making money. I'm afraid they are the richest group of people in Teflam." Gavin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He knew that the Shadow Master Guild's methods were dark, but he did not expect it to be so dark and have such a low moral bottom line that it could compete with the red-robed mages of the Kingdom of Cyre and the Zhentarim of the Moon Sea.
Anyway, everything is about money and power.
"Yes." Lord Parado nodded, "At least half of the annual income of Teflam City must go into their pockets.
However, they are not an ordinary thieves guild, but the church of Mask, the Lord of Thieves. They regard Tefram as their belief territory.
If Ms. Strategy wants to get involved here, she is afraid that she will encounter strong opposition from them, and even I will suffer as well. "
"I'm afraid the city lord is overly worried. I guess they are now eager for me to bring Ms. Strategy in. Only in this way can I help them withstand the thunder and help them guard Tefram.
You have just said that at least half of Tavram's annual income must go into their pockets. They are definitely the group of people who care about the safety of Tavram the most and least want the city to be ravaged by war.
The reason why thieves are thieves is because they always dare to hide in the dark and steal for a living, instead of standing upright in the light.
This is true of the Shadow Master's thieves, and so is their master.
Believe me, the thieves from the Shadow Master Guild will not only not stop the destruction of our plan to please the gods, but will most likely support it secretly. Gavin analyzed with a smile.
He has long known the details of the Shadow Master Guild, and naturally analyzed the guild thoroughly, and saw their latest decisions as if he had witnessed them firsthand.
Parado couldn't help but be stunned. After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but nodded and said: "The General's analysis is thorough. According to the past behavior of those thieves, it is not impossible for them to do it.
But they will not give up their things easily. Maybe they are plotting some conspiracy in the dark. At the critical moment, they will stab us in the back and seize the fruits of victory. "
No matter what the Shadow Master has planned, there is no turning back.
It is estimated that the news of his betrayal of the Shadow Master Guild has been spread back to his hometown, and more shadow assassins will come to the door at any time. If necessary, the Shadow Master will take action himself.
"You said it yourself, it is the fruit of victory, not the fruit of failure. The premise is that you have seen the hope of victory."
Gavin agreed with Parado's analysis and put forward his own point of view, "Even if we successfully invite the assistance of Ms. Strategy, the most she can do is help us stop Yamen Khan and prevent him from directly destroying Taif Lamu's city defense, let his army rush into Teflam.
There is no way to block the entire Tukan army. This army is composed of Tukan cavalry and undead. We have to find a way to resist it ourselves. This is not an easy task. Their numbers alone are equal to the entire Tefram. Double for the military and civilians.
We must work together and fight side by side to have a glimmer of hope. "
Lord Parador nodded involuntarily and said, "That's true. Only when you clench your five fingers into a fist can you achieve maximum strength.
The general's commanding ability is obvious to all. Our 50,000 city defense mercenaries in Tefram are willing to be put under the unified command of the general. "
Although the Lord of Teflam City has been controlled by the Shadow Master Guild for many years, it does not mean that he has no ability at all.
Living in the cracks for many years is also a skill, not to mention decisive.
Now that the Shadow Master Guild has been offended, this thick thigh must be hugged tightly.
As long as Ms. Strategy's faith is successfully established in Teflam, the Shadow Master Guild will no longer be the only one here.
Not only will their own safety be relatively secure, but the interests of these legitimate businessmen will also be more secure, and the invisible shadow ropes tied to them will be much looser.
It's just that this kind of confrontation between the few and the many is a great test of command skills, and this is what Teflam City lacks most. Even though Parado racked his brains, he couldn't think of a person who could take on this important task.
The voter of the strategic lady in front of me is undoubtedly the best candidate.
"Thank you City Lord for your trust. I will certainly live up to your expectations." Gavin did not refuse.
Even if the Lord of Parador doesn't take the initiative, he will force him to hand over the command of the mercenary city defense army to him for unified deployment and command.
It is a taboo on the battlefield to send orders to multiple gates.
Especially when the Tukan people have an absolutely superior force, if there is no way to take all the command into their own hands, this battle will be impossible to fight.
"This is as it should be. After all, the general is fighting to protect our Tefram." The Lord of Parador said with enthusiasm, "If there is anything else you need me to do, General, I will do my best to cooperate."
"Your main task is to cooperate with the promotion of Ms. Strategy's faith and find a suitable place to place the statue of Ms. Strategy. There must be at least eight statues placed in Tefram to ensure that the citizens of the entire city can see her. What's more, It is convenient to gather the prayers of the citizens. When necessary, the spirit of Ms. Strategy can even attach to these statues and activate them to fight. "
Gavin, who has his own statues of gods, knows that these statues are not just decorations, but have real functions. Especially the statues that have gathered a lot of faith and are imbued with divinity have all kinds of incredible functions.
Naturally, this ability cannot be unique to oneself, but is an ability possessed by all gods.
This is why few people dare to attack or desecrate churches or monasteries, because if they are not careful, the spirits of the gods will descend, and the tall statues will turn into terrifying killing tools.
This is also the foundation of Ms. Strategy's future in Tefram. Since these statues have been erected, they cannot be easily demolished unless they want to blaspheme the gods and launch a divine war.
Eight is just the number that Gavin has condensed at the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. The Dragon Oak Mother Tree is now firing on all cylinders, racing against time to condense.
The final number depends on how powerful the mother dragon oak tree is.
Anyway, the more the merrier.
"This is natural." The Lord of Parador promised, patting his chest, "I will definitely mobilize all the people that Tefram can mobilize, and do my best to publicize the power of Ms. Strategy. I believe that as long as they are not stupid, they will actively cooperate. , after all, this is to protect our own safety.”
Without the need to consider the threat of the Shadow Master Guild, Parado is not resistant to this task. After all, faith is useless to them, and they don't need to pay for it out of their own pockets, so why not?
"Tell us about the situation of the Shadow Master Guild. How many people do they have in Teflam? Where is their home base? How are the internal levels divided?" Gavin shifted the topic to the real ruler behind Teflam. .
The Shadow Wings led by Grace have been infiltrating Tefram for a month, and have secretly fought countless rounds with the Shadow Master's thieves.
However, the information collected is still relatively limited, only staying on the outer surface - those gangsters and thieves guilds that have been exposed by the Shadow Master Guild.
They are just the outer organization of the Shadow Master Guild, their money-making tools and thugs, just like the Shadow Guild in Usmail City. Only a handful of senior leaders know who they are loyal to, and most of the members have no idea at all.
The Lord of Parado said with a helpless face: "I'm not afraid of making fun of you, General. I can't answer these questions of yours, because the thieves of the Shadow Master Guild are not only good at hiding, they are also good at disguise, deception, and even transformation." .
Most of their members are disguised and lurking among ordinary people. Whether they are traffickers or businessmen and mercenaries, they have their members and spies. They are everywhere and pervasive.
In Teflam, everyone is in danger and dare not trust anyone, because no one knows whether there is another identity hidden behind the other person.
The only thing that is certain is that their home base is definitely not in Teflam City, but is hidden in a more secret place. Most of the peripheral members of the Shadow Master Guild have no chance to go, only those core members have the opportunity. "
"Their confidentiality work is very tight." Gavin was still not surprised. What Parado said was completely consistent with what he knew.
People being manipulated like Lord Parador are not even peripheral members of the Shadow Masters Guild. They are the targets of their protection and cannot possibly know too many core secrets.
Another possibility cannot be ruled out, that is, the Lord of Parado is himself a senior member of the Shadow Master Guild, and everything is a self-directed and self-acted ruse to lure himself into the game.
He would not trust the Lord of Parador so easily, and the other party was the same, and he must have some reservations about himself. This is human nature.
“The only thing I know is that the Shadow Master Guild is composed of five classes, namely peripheral organizations, guild thieves, shadow dancers, shadow assassins and shadow masters.
This class division is both a status and a symbol of strength. You need to go through layers of selection and make a huge contribution to the Shadow Master Guild in order to move up step by step.
The higher the level, the higher the level of confidentiality and the more secretive the whereabouts. Not to mention outsiders, even their internal staff do not fully know their high-level identity.
The most common ones in Tefram are the first three classes. Shadow assassins rarely reveal their whereabouts and will only leave their own exclusive mark at the scene of assassination or theft.
As for the Shadow Masters, I have only heard of their names, never actually seen them. They rarely do anything on their own. They mainly lurk in the shadows, manipulating other thieves and even innocent people to achieve their own goals.
The large amount of intelligence and privacy they have in their hands is the sharpest tool in their hands. "The Lord of Parador finally revealed something useful, but it's just a commodity, so it's not difficult to get it.
Gavin nodded clearly, and then said to the shadow not far away, "Grace."
"Here." As the shadow fluctuated, the slender necromancer walked out.
Seeing this situation, the fat on Lord Parador's face trembled involuntarily, and sweat surged uncontrollably. He felt his head was buzzing, and a frightening thought appeared in his mind involuntarily.
Is it possible that the strategic lady elector in front of me is also a member of the Shadow Master Guild?
As if he guessed what Lord Parado was thinking, Gavin took the initiative to explain: "Don't worry, there are many people in this world who can use the power of shadow, and not all of them are believers of the Lord of Shadows.
These are my subordinates. They are also proficient in the use of shadow power, and have advantages that ordinary people do not have in fighting shadows.
Although it is unlikely that the Shadow Master Guild will attack you again before repelling the Tukan people, we must guard against it. In the next period of time, she will follow you to protect your safety. She can also communicate with you in a timely manner to ensure the smooth progress of the plan. "
"Your Excellency, General, you have thought carefully, thank you very much, Your Excellency General." Lord Parado burst into tears with gratitude.
As smart as he is, of course he knows that this cold woman dormant in the shadows has another mission, which is to monitor herself and not give herself the chance to simmer with the Shadow Master Guild again.
"Now there is one last thing that I need to trouble the Lord of the City."
"Just say so, General."
"I need to transfer some of Ms. Strategy's exclusive priests from the Heartland area to promote Ms. Strategy's teachings and assist in reorganizing the army for defense. I must have the authority to teleport in Tefram City..."
"This is the City Lord's secret key to the city's defense lock in Tefram City. As long as you hold it, the General can teleport people directly in." Lord Parador was a bachelor, and he directly pulled the City Lord's key from his neck. Passed it to Gavin.
"Then I will borrow it for a while and return it to the City Lord after the war." Gavin was not polite and took it over directly.
There are many places where it will be used next, not only for dispatching troops, but also for understanding all the characteristics of this city defense mystery and formulating corresponding defensive tactics based on it. It is impossible for him to discuss everything with the Lord of Parado.
Parado took the initiative to resign and said: "If there is nothing else, I will mobilize people to carry out publicity throughout the city."
For him, this plan to ask God was too sudden, and the time left for them was too limited, and there were many things that needed to be done.
"You start preparing first. It won't take long before I bring a large number of professionals to help you." Gavin was naturally talking about the propaganda department of his territory.
Before being integrated into a system department, Regina had already demonstrated her extraordinary abilities.
With Gavin’s unswerving support and a large amount of manpower and material resources, it will naturally reach a higher level.
In Faerun, when it comes to propaganda, the Battle Valley Propaganda Department says it is second, but no one dares to say it is first.
"Okay." Lord Parador had no idea about this at all. After a perfunctory response, he left in a hurry.
As soon as Lord Parado left, Gavin couldn't wait to operate the Lord Key of Tevram.
This Lord Key was quite standard, and as its name suggests, it was made to look like a golden key. In essence, like the Mind Gem, it was used to control the anti-maze lock of Tevram City. (End of this chapter)
