A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

"Hold on! Don't back away! Whoever dares to back away will have his head cut off!"

"Siege the magic tower! Release the large-scale killing spell quickly! We need cover!"

"Reserve team! My legion is dying and we urgently need more manpower!"

…

As the generals under Lord Wu An began to roar at the top of their lungs, the original demon vs. demon quickly evolved into a civil war between the three giants of the abyss.

Although Graz'zt should technically be considered a home game, it should have a very big advantage.

But in fact, because his three realms have been completely destroyed, and his army also suffered heavy losses in the previous battle with the Eldrazi, the number and scale of the demons he controls are far inferior to Orcus and Demogorgon.

Not to mention these two, even some powerful god-like lords now have armies much stronger than Graz'zt.

This is why he can feel that his situation is getting worse.

Even some, like Baphomet, King of the Minotaurs, and Kostchurch, Lord of Anger and King of Frost Giants, have begun secretly planning to kill Six Fingers, who are no longer worthy of the title of "Big Three", and then replace them themselves.

But what Grazte never expected was that he had prepared so many plans and conspiracies to try every possible means to stop these challengers, but in the end it was the two most powerful enemies that came over.

Although so far, neither Demogorgon nor Orcus has personally left the scene.

But the mighty and endless legions have already completed the encirclement from the left and right sides, and are constantly consuming our own troops like a millstone of flesh and blood, making it clear that they intend to kill them all.

If he chooses to escape at this time, Graz'zt will completely lose all his men and become a bare commander.

You must know that in the Abyss, the size of the territory you rule and the number of demons you control are not only related to power, but also power.

A demon lord who loses his territory and subordinates will no longer be a lord, and it is also impossible to obtain the quasi-divine power granted by the will of the abyss.

Therefore, if you look at the history of the Abyss, you will find that many lords died in battle or were defeated and imprisoned, but very few escaped in battle.

It’s not that they don’t want to, it’s that they are unwilling to give up the strength they gained from climbing up from the bottom.

Seeing that the number of troops under his command continued to decrease, and many large siege equipment, especially the devices called siege magic towers, were either destroyed or occupied, Graz'zt's heart began to bleed.

Because this movable spire, which is two to three hundred meters high and made entirely of stone and steel materials, is actually another form of the mage tower.

It just removes unnecessary parts such as accommodation, storage rooms, various laboratories, workshops and special rooms with different functions, leaving only the release of several large-scale destruction and control spells that are urgently needed on the battlefield.

Inside the siege magic tower, there is usually a high-level spellcaster responsible for controlling it, and thirty to fifty mid- to low-level spellcasters responsible for providing corresponding spell slots when performing certain magic rituals.

Since the popularity of magic in lower planes like the Abyss and Hell is much higher than in the material plane, there is no shortage of spellcasters.

Not to mention that slightly more powerful demons and devils have at least two or three innate spell-like abilities.

Under normal circumstances, the resources required to build a siege magic tower are quite staggering.

Because it is not only a tool for long-range magic and firepower projection, but also a mobile fortress on the battlefield, shouldering the heavy defensive task of blocking the enemy's fierce offensive.

If it is a siege party, it will occasionally be used as a siege tower.

In short, it is a comprehensive and multi-functional war weapon, which can even be said to be the key to keeping the demon army from easily collapsing and escaping.

Once the siege magic tower at a certain location is destroyed or occupied, the demons within the area will immediately lose their will to fight and choose to retreat.

Otherwise, anyone who runs slower may be affected and die suddenly on the spot.

After all, if the tower is destroyed, the core used to store energy will instantly explode and release violent energy. Even the Balor Fire Demon will most likely be torn apart alive.

If it is occupied by the enemy, the tower will quickly release countless killing and control magic under the control of the enemy until the entire area is cleared.

Many people think that the demon army just throws massive cannon fodder onto the battlefield and lets them do whatever they want. This is actually wrong.

In fact, they not only have a certain degree of organization, but also have countless powerful magic and high-tech equipment.

The Siege Mage Tower is just one of them.

There are also many devices that can only appear in science fiction movies and can emit high-energy beams with different properties;

Use a super giant magic catapult to throw a meteorite-like object into the crowd from dozens or even hundreds of kilometers away, and then explode it with a bang, causing horrific damage to enemies within a few kilometers of radius;

The "Gundam", a structure made of fine steel or cold iron, is more than ten to twenty meters high;

Various super-large twisted undead creatures created using powerful necromancy magic...

These are just the tip of the iceberg on the battlefield!

Since the Abyss is a representative of chaotic evil, demons have never lacked creativity and can often come up with some rather abstract and cruel things.

If the devils rely on discipline, unity and exquisite tactics to win in bloody battles, then the devils rely on overwhelming numbers and creating various unexpected situations to catch their opponents off guard.

Just when the entire battlefield was bleeding like a river due to the internal strife of the three giants, a golden light tore through the gray sky that turned as dark red as blood.

Immediately afterwards, a goddess wearing gorgeous golden armor appeared out of thin air in everyone's sight.

Woking, the goddess of wealth!

Lord Wu An recognized the sworn enemy who vowed to destroy him almost at a glance. His pupils suddenly dilated and his heart sank to the bottom.

Because he is now being attacked on both sides, and with the addition of an incarnation of powerful divine power, he may not have to explain it directly.

However, Woking did not rush to take action. Instead, he stood in mid-air and stared at the opponent like a cat playing with a mouse. After a full minute, he raised the corner of his mouth and said sarcastically: "Your current situation seems a bit not good. Well, dear Graz'zt. Guess, if you are unfortunately defeated and captured today, and I am willing to pay a high price, will Demogorgon and Orcus be willing to sell you to me?"

moment!

The Dark An Lord's face became extremely ugly, and he no longer looked as graceful as usual. Instead, he asked with anger: "Is this all being done behind your back?"

"Haha, congratulations on guessing it right, but there is no reward.

do you know?

In order to let you fully feel what pain and despair are, I have specially prepared quite a few interesting and exciting links.

And the scene before me was just the beginning.

The real excitement is yet to come. "

The goddess of wealth smiled and announced in public that her revenge had officially begun.

From the condescending attitude and the naked and undisguised hatred revealed in her tone, it is not difficult to see that she is not in a hurry to kill or capture Graz'zt, but wants to slowly torture the other person and bring out all the things he has ever seduced. All the things he was proud of were taken away and destroyed.

Through this method of snatching away bit by bit, this powerful demon lord completely collapsed and despaired, and finally became a plaything in his own hands.

Only in this way can the humiliation suffered be washed away.

"You're going to pay for this! I swear!"

Graz'zt, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, had never been teased like this as a plaything. His eyes were about to burst out with fire, and he clutched the +5 acid-exploding giant sword tightly as if he might launch an attack at any time.

But in the end he chose to be patient.

After all, the current Wojin is not in the form of a fragile saint, but a fighting incarnation of powerful divine power.

There is basically no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.

What's more, there are two troublesome mortal enemies, Orcus and Demogorgon, watching closely.

As for how many levels of lords there are waiting to take advantage of outside the battlefield, it is unknown.

Even the Spider Goddess Rose couldn't help but come to join in the fun, wanting to appreciate the final outcome of the Lord of Darkness who always likes to play tricks.

She will not forget that Graz'zt originally wanted to recruit her into a so-called alliance, and then use this to weaken her divine power and divinity, and ultimately achieve the goal of completely changing her from a god to a demon lord.

As a narrow-minded and very vindictive goddess, although Rose did not say anything after noticing the other party's sinister intentions, it did not mean that the matter was over.

Quite the opposite!

She had always been looking for an opportunity for revenge, but she had never found one before.

"Great goddess, do you want to join the siege of the Lord of Darkness?" A dark elf petitioner asked cautiously.

Rose pursed her lips and asked meaningfully: "Why not?

In a situation like this where everyone is pushing against the wall, you don't need to take any risks, and you might even get some benefits from it.

But with Demogorgon and Orcus here, we don't need to waste our troops on attacking, we just need to wait patiently.

With Graz'zt's character, he would definitely abandon his men and run away if he found out that the situation was not good.

The moment he ran away was the perfect time for me to take action. "

Obviously, it is not difficult to tell from the attitude of the Spider Goddess that Graz'zt has often repeatedly jumped around, stabbed allies in the back over the years, and even flirted with the devil's mortal enemy and the Lord of Hell, Asmodeus, which has offended many people. .

It's just that he used to be one of the three giants of the Abyss. For the sake of his great strength, everyone dared not speak out and chose to be patient for the time being.

But now, as Graz'zt suffers huge losses one after another, old and new grudges inevitably emerge.

In the abyss, a place full of chaos and betrayal, no matter how powerful a demon lord is, it only takes one major failure to completely fall from the heights. Even if he is besieged by all the demon lords, the forces under his command will also fall. Falling apart quickly.

The ending of the only Chaos that briefly unified the Abyss is the best example.

In this aspect, compared with the devils of the lawful camp, they are completely opposite situations.

The lords of the hell dimension were not even abolished when they openly resisted the rule of Asmodeus, but were only slightly punished and warned.

There is no doubt that with the size of the armies controlled by Graz'zt, Demogorgon and Orcus, it is basically impossible to easily determine the outcome without fighting for days or even weeks or months.

What's more, demons are not like mortal armies and require a series of troublesome logistics such as food, water, supplies, and adequate rest.

And the goddess of wealth just condescended to appreciate this good show directed by herself, watching Graz'zt's increasingly distorted and angry face, savoring the excitement and pleasure brought by revenge.

Also retreating to the rear to watch the show were the top commanders of the Devil Legion on the front line, Zariel and Bayer, as well as the Eight Demon Generals who assisted them.

Although due to historical grievances, the relationship between Zarrell and Bayer was not good at all, and they often quarreled over the command of a certain demon army.

But they can still reach an agreement on dealing with demons, especially bleeding the entire abyss.

In this way, after the bloody battle briefly restarted for a period of time, the devil fell into a state of watching a show again.

On the devil's side, a civil war between the three giants was staged. Tens of millions or billions of devils started fighting crazily throughout the three realms.

Even corpses will be pulled up and used as cannon fodder.

You must know that this is the abyss plane, the home of all demons.

If they die here, they are truly dead, and there is no way to resurrect them like when they die in other planes.

Wojin, the goddess of wealth, proved her willingness and determination for revenge with practical actions, and also showed what a powerful god can do.

No one knows what kind of deal she made with Orcus and Demogorgon.

But what is certain is that Graz'zt is definitely dead this time.

While the war on the Abyss was in full swing, in the Calimport Palace located south of the west coast of Faerûn, a projection of Zuo Si was imparting tips on how to maintain social stability to Vera, the future prime minister of the empire.

"Do you know why almost all rulers hope that the civilians under their rule can get married and have children as soon as possible and form relatively stable family relationships?"

Zuo Si asked as he walked in the garden and admired the carefully pruned and cultivated ornamental plants around him.

Affected by the typical tropical maritime monsoon climate, Calimport not only receives abundant rainfall throughout the year, but also has quite high temperatures.

Even on the coldest days, various plants will still maintain their bright green color, and colorful flowers can be seen everywhere.

Especially those rare flowers and trees brought back from the Chult jungle, each of which can often be sold for thousands of gold coins in the market.

Only wealthy businessmen and dignitaries are qualified to plant crops in their residences to highlight their identity and social status.

In the pursuit of luxury goods, there is no essential difference between the continent of Faerûn and the earth.

Of course, Zuo Si himself was not very interested in these. He could even count the number of walks in the garden on one hand.

Compared with these things that can reflect the majesty and power of the emperor in the eyes of the world, he actually prefers to hide alone in the mage tower and stay with his "little pets".

"To increase the population?"

There was strong uncertainty in Vera's voice.

Zuo Si nodded lightly at first, then smiled and shook his head.

"Yes and no.

Of course there are considerations of increasing population and labor resources.

But more importantly, it is to give everyone a sense of responsibility and concern for the family.

Once they have concerns, they will not dare to commit crimes or resist the existing rule easily.

Because that is likely to result in joint attacks and retaliation on the family.

This is also the reason why the joint sitting system in the law can often have a huge deterrent effect.

Responsibility can greatly enhance a person's tolerance for suffering.

Just imagine, if you are a poor person who can only earn a little money by working hard every day to survive, you have sick and bedridden parents who have to take care of you, and you have children who are crying for food and need food.

Under such circumstances, do you still have the courage to abandon your current job, abandon your family and let them fend for themselves, and join an uprising or riot to overthrow the existing ruling system?

The answer is obviously no.

Any cold-blooded animal that is not extremely selfish will choose to endure it silently.

After all, although this kind of life is painful, you can still survive as long as you grit your teeth and persevere.

As long as the children grow up and the parents die, the situation will naturally get better.

Therefore, the responsibility established through the family is the most important cornerstone of maintaining social stability.

Then add a little hope for a better life in the future, and the current poverty and pain will become bearable.

Moreover, this responsibility is mutual, not one-way, and can be passed on from generation to generation.

But without these constraints, an independent individual who has lost all care and responsibility will become extremely dangerous and unstable.

Remember, never believe in the so-called liberalism that tends to chaos, but should unswervingly promote the establishment of families one by one.

At least until the empire's overall productivity reaches a level that satisfies everyone's desires. "

"Responsibility and concern..."

Vera's eyes instantly lit up, obviously understanding the meaning and core idea of ​​these words.

Although she is a "filial daughter" who personally killed all the direct members of her family, she has a good understanding of the weaknesses of human nature. She also understands how much the responsibilities brought by the family can have a great impact on people.

For example, some mothers even sold themselves into slavery in order to treat their dying sons;

Another example is the group of men who work hard physical labor for fourteen hours a day in order to support their families, and are only willing to eat one or two meals, and the food is the cheapest dry food and pickled vegetables.

Their common characteristic is that they choose to sacrifice themselves in order to shoulder their responsibilities to their families.

The most important thing is that this situation is not an isolated case, but a common phenomenon.

As long as life is passable and the last hope is not lost, this huge group will always be the cornerstone of social stability and the most valuable asset of a country and regime.

Although there are many books in Faerûn that have expounded similar views, they are not as profound, unabashed and very explicit as Zuo Si.

Family is never as warm and harmonious as many people imagine.

Especially in Faerûn, where productivity is not very developed, civilians getting married and starting a family often have little to do with love.

It's more like living together as a team, sharing the high costs and unknown risks in life.

In wealthy families, children will turn against each other and fight over property.

In the face of real wealth and power, the so-called family love is not worth mentioning at all.

The reason why many families are harmonious and warm is because they have nothing really worth fighting for.

As a member of the first family of Amn in the past, Vera has a deeper understanding of family than most people.

So after a brief moment of silence, she quickly raised her head and sighed with a smile: "Yes, what you said is absolutely right.

The essence of a family is a chain that tightly binds husband and wife, children and parents together through responsibility and care.

They think that this is a strong emotion that transcends everything, and it is also a bond based on blood.

As everyone knows, this is the source of the pain and torture they are forced to endure.

Thank you for teaching me this.

Now I understand how to maintain long-term social stability within the empire. "

Zuo Si smiled and nodded with satisfaction: "As long as you understand.

Remember, domination is an inherently ruthless and cruel thing.

Don't be deceived by the shows and illusions of so-called benevolent monarchs in books and history.

It actually takes away part of the wealth created by the people through labor production through violent deterrence in the name of taxation, and uses it to support and maintain the army, bureaucracy, judicial system, and the top ruling class.

The only difference is that some rulers will use their bureaucracy and violent institutions to further squeeze the people to enjoy luxury, while others will improve and maintain infrastructure and provide a variety of public services.

In a few days, I hope you can go to the Northland as a special envoy to strengthen the relationship with Waterdeep City, Neverwinter City, and the Silver Moon Alliance.

By the way, we can win over those businessmen and citizens who are inclined to us.

In addition, you can also observe the primitive and backward governance methods of these city-states through your own eyes and compare them with the empire. "

"As you wish."

Vera quickly put one hand on her chest and bowed to express her submission.

Because she understands that this is a kind of cultivation and exercise of her own abilities in all aspects, and it is also an opportunity to broaden her horizons.

She still had a lot to learn before she could ascend the throne of prime minister.

Watching this ambitious young woman disappear at the end of the garden, Zuo Si asked without looking back: "What do you think of Vera's performance in the recent period?"

"It's perfect, Your Majesty."

The current Prime Minister of the Empire, Shawd Tarovin, gave his evaluation with a smile.

He then added: “Vera is the most sensitive woman I have ever seen to the flow of power and wealth, bar none.

Moreover, she is not as full of emotions and sensibility as most women. Instead, she always maintains a calm and rational logical thinking.

This is quite rare.

Not even the men in the cabinet can compare with this.

As long as you invest a little time and effort in cultivating it, Vera will definitely become your most effective helper. "

"Yeah, then let's wait and see how she performs during her next trip to the North."

Zuo Si pursed his lips in disbelief.

He is obviously very aware of how difficult it is to convert something like potential into talent.

Although he has high expectations for Vera's growth, he will not put the future of the entire country on this woman, and has secretly prepared more than one backup plan.

One of them is to extend the lifespan of Shaud Talovan, or transform him into other long-lived races or undead creatures, so as to continue to contribute to the West Coast Empire.

However, this imperial prime minister, who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people, obviously has not realized that even the power of retirement and death may be deprived of him. He continues to speak to himself: "Your Majesty, regarding the sudden return of Ghost City How do you plan to deal with the ripple effects?

You must know that His Majesty Asan IV of the Kingdom of Cormyr, Queen Alustriel of the Silver Moon Alliance, and Fuzor Chambery, the tyrant who rules the Moon Sea, have all sent diplomatic letters one after another.

Even if you are not interested in this matter, at least give a reply, otherwise it would be too rude.

In addition, it was not long ago that Selul Anji completely unified the southern region of Sembia. Do we want to give her public support?

Finally, there is news from the Quesen Tower area, saying that witnesses saw the huge body of the Dragon of the Gods, Tchazzar, appearing over the bay, but our intelligence department has not been able to confirm the authenticity for the time being. "

"Tchazzar showed up?"

Zuo Si had a very surprised expression on his face.

Because since being devoured by Tiamat, this unique god-conferring dragon on Faerûn has been in a state of half-death.

If he does return, it can only mean one thing. The Dragon God has once again reached out to the world.

Shaud Tarovan nodded with a serious expression: "Yes, Your Majesty.

Although there is no clear evidence.

However, the dragons around Quesen Tower are migrating outward on a large scale, and it is very likely that they were expelled by Tchazzar.

Only he can make so many giant dragons fearful. "

"interesting……"

Zuo Si touched his chin with a thoughtful expression.

After probably several minutes, he responded casually: "As for those diplomatic letters, you can just make up your own mind.

Anyway, Yinhun City is not making any big moves now, it is just quietly accumulating strength.

As for Sambia, let’s observe it for a while first.

If Selul Anji can defeat all competitors on her own, then we will recognize her legitimacy.

Don't worry about the Quesen Tower area. Tchazzar is not something that ordinary armies can handle. "

"Understood."

Shaud Tarovan put one hand on his chest and bowed, then turned and disappeared at the end of the garden.

…

On the other side, at the border between the Sunset Mountains and the Eno Oak Desert in the north, a solid fortress that was built using magic not long ago stands in a patch of yellow sand.

This is the location of the Kadarin Magic Stone Mine.

Therefore, not only is there an army composed of constructs, summoned creatures and undead, but it also has a considerable number of mages, warlocks, and top miners hired with high salaries.

Unlike most mines, which use hammers, pickaxes, and pickaxes as mining tools, the elves, dwarves, gnomes, and halflings here use precision tools that are only the size of a palm.

Because the Kadarin Magic Stone has a fatal weakness, that is, it is very, very, very fragile.

It only takes a little external squeezing or collision, and it will immediately shatter and turn into a puddle of worthless dust.

Therefore, the miners must carefully dig into the walls in the same way as they treat lovers.

Those who knew it were mining magic stones, but those who didn't know it thought they were carving.

This job does not involve heavy physical labor, but requires dexterous hands and keen perception.

Therefore, after returning to the surface, the miners would often sit side by side on the city wall, looking down at the endless yellow sand, drinking iced drinks provided by the floating city, and exchanging experiences with each other.

However, this comfortable life ended completely as a large number of nomads emerged from the depths of the desert.

From the prisoners who wanted to rush into the fortress and grab a handful, they learned that Yinhun City was hunting down these uncivilized barbarians everywhere and wanted to turn them into its own soldiers.

Those who obey can become living soldiers, while those who resist can become immortal undead.

Based on the principle of waste utilization, the mages stationed here incorporated these human nomads, known as "Bedai Barbarians", and promised to give them food, water, and feed for horses and camels.

In return, these Bedai barbarians must hand over a sufficient number of young men to form an army, waiting for the command and orders of the fortress.

Moreover, they were not allowed to enter the interior of the fortress and could only live in tents under the shadow of the city wall.

Once a war breaks out, these people will bear the brunt and become expendable cannon fodder.

But the interesting thing is that instead of being angry when hearing such a request, the Bedai barbarians simply accepted it.

Because they were walking in a hurry when fleeing, they basically didn't bring much food, water, or fodder for horses and camels. They were lucky to be able to barely cross an area of ​​​​the desert.

You must know that many tribes were completely swallowed up by the yellow sand in the sky while walking.

Therefore, the Bedai barbarians had no room for bargaining. After getting basic living security, they quickly chose to kneel down to ensure their own continuation.

The cruel environment of the desert shaped their combat style of fearlessness and death, and also shaped their mindset of doing whatever it takes to survive.

Looking at the thousands of tents outside the fortress and the nomads who were clumsily cooking with iron pots and coal stoves, Owo, who came specially from the floating city, asked directly: "How many people are here?"

"Hmm - about 12,000 people. Almost half of them are women and children without fighting ability, and the rest are men who can serve as warriors."

Another lich from the Arcane Society next to him quickly gave an accurate number.

You must know that even though the Eno Oak Desert is full of gravel flying in the sky at first glance, it is actually home to a population of 150,000 to 200,000 people.

Ninety-nine percent of them are concentrated near oases, fighting endlessly for pasture and precious fresh water resources.

"That means we can form a cavalry force of four thousand to six thousand men?"

Owo continued to ask questions enthusiastically.

Since he has been accumulating strength recently to launch a war against Ghost City, he is trying every means to recruit more cannon fodder.

The group of Bedai barbarians outside the city wall happened to fit the bill perfectly.

The Lich nodded slightly: "Yes, Master. However, this kind of light cavalry mixed with horses and camels may be able to chase the defeated enemy, but if they fight a tough battle, their morale will soon collapse."

"Ah! I know this without you reminding me. But it doesn't matter, I didn't expect them to fight a tough battle."

Owo shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, and the pale and swollen flesh all over his body was trembling slightly.

"That's no problem. As long as you need it, I can complete the recruitment within fifteen minutes at any time."

The Lich swore a guarantee.

"Very good. With these Bedai barbarians, my war plan can begin to be implemented. No matter what the purpose of Yinhun City's return to the material world is, what they get this time is destined to be failure."

When he said these words, Owo's eyes flashed with a frightening red light, and the negative energy released caused the surrounding environment temperature to drop by more than five degrees Celsius.

"Master, please forgive me, the number and quality of the arcane casters we currently have are far inferior to those of Shadow City. Moreover, the construction of the floating city has just started. Isn't it too risky for you to rashly launch a war like this? A little?" Lich reminded cautiously.

When the Grand Arcanist heard these words, he couldn't help laughing immediately: "Hahahaha! I understand your caution.

But don't worry, Ghost City is not as scary as you think.

It was just one of many floating cities in Netheril, and it wasn't even ranked at the time.

What's more, I know the flaws of the floating city very well.

Once the opponent reveals a flaw, I can immediately make this behemoth fall from the sky. "

"Do I need to apply for more staff?"

The Lich lowered his voice to test.

"No, it's not necessary. The power we have on hand is enough. What's more, this is a suggestion I made to Soth. Naturally, I will be fully responsible."

Owo rejected the other party's kindness.

As the great arcanist of the Netheril era, he has his own dignity and pride.

Especially when it comes to the issue of who is the legitimate heir of Netheril, no great arcanist will compromise.

Therefore, Shade City, which has abandoned the golden spirit of Netheril, must die!

Otherwise its existence is an insult and blasphemy to the former.

But what Owo didn't know was that the massive recruitment of fugitive Bedai barbarians in the fortress had already been noticed by Yinhun City.

Through the pervasive spying of those ghostly spies, Telamant Tanshur already knew the situation in the Kadarin magic stone mine.

At this moment, the supreme city lord was sitting on his own throne and had just listened to the spies' report. He raised his head and asked his right-hand man, Haji Horna: "Do you think we can seize this important city with our current strength?" Mine?"

"Can!"

Hajhorna replied in the affirmative without thinking.

Because he understands the importance of the Kadarin Stone to Netheril.

Once the mine is captured, not only can a steady stream of Kadarin magic stones be replenished, but it can also boost the morale of all casters in Shadow City.

“In that case, let’s do it.

You will be responsible for this matter personally, and I will temporarily authorize you to mobilize other ghost princes.

During the operation, the safety of the mine must be protected and there must be no accidents.

Otherwise, once the mine explodes, the consequences will be absolutely catastrophic. "

Telamant Tanshur warned with a serious expression.

He didn't want the valuable mine he had finally found to turn into ruins during the battle.

"Please give me a few days to prepare."

After saying that, Hajhorna bent down and bowed deeply, and then left, ignoring his eldest son and Shar elector Revalan Tanshur, who was hostile to him.

As soon as he left, Revalan Tanshur, the back foot, couldn't help but question: "Father, why did you give such an important task to Hajhorna instead of me?"

"Because he is more rational and calm than you. He will never get angry or even fight just because someone provokes his beliefs." Telamante explained pointedly.

Obviously, he was accusing Revalan of spending too much time serving the Goddess of Night, thus neglecting his study of arcane magic.

And Telamant knew very well how fanatical Revalan's beliefs were.

If someone dares to insult Shar in front of this guy, then he will 100% rush forward and fight the other person until he or the other person is dead.

There is no way, maintaining the honor of serving the gods is the most basic duty of the electorate.

If you fail to do this well, the power you have been given may be withdrawn at any time.

Therefore, Revalan had no choice but to go to the dark side on this road.

Just when the eldest son was about to open his mouth to defend himself, a ghost mage from outside hurried in and reported in an extremely shocked tone: "The great supreme city lord, you... your son Brenas is said to be here. Ashkatra of Amn has been captured."

"Huh? What! Repeat what you just said!"

Telamante stood up from the throne in shock.

"Your son Brenas was arrested in Askatra. The crime was that he tried to sneak into a certain mage tower, but was caught in a trap set up by others."

The ghost mage reported the information that had just been sent back with a sad face.

"Damn! This is going to be troublesome."

Telamant's face was so gloomy that he was almost dripping with water.

Because Brenas' capture would likely expose those unknown secret plans.

This is not a good thing for the development and growth of Shadow City.

Therefore, the Supreme City Lord must now wipe his son's ass, and it is best to rescue him quickly in a short time.

Otherwise, if some key information is revealed through magic and torture, the entire City of Shadows will suffer huge losses as a result.
