Crown of Chaos

The supreme lord of Shade City, Telamante Tanshur, stood on his own magic tower and stared at the battlefield below.

It’s been a long, long time.

Wearing the black armor symbolizing the dominance of Netheril, accompanied by a dragon-winged cloak, fixed-style arm armor and dark purple robes, the High Prince of Shade City looked at the battlefield in front of him coldly. He said nothing, just looked at I was thinking about what to do next.

The history of Shadow City has been mentioned before, so I won’t repeat it here.

Telamante Tanshur, whose real name was Lord Shador, was mediocre in comparison to other famous and powerful Grand Arcanists during the heyday of Netheril. It's strange, and Shado is despised by other great arcanists because he is obsessed with the study of shadow magic. Many great arcanists are unwilling to take him to play with him.

Sha Duo didn't care about this. Sha Duo was obsessed with exploring the mysteries of the Shadowfell Underworld, and experimented many times with ways to move the floating city back and forth between the mortal world and the Shadowfell Underworld.

These methods finally saved the City of Shadows.

When Karsus was preparing his thirteen-ring magic, Shado obtained Shar's prophecy in advance and moved the floating city to the Shadowfall Underworld the day before Nese's death. Facts have proved that if it were not for Shado's wit, the ghosts The city is destined to crash like other floating cities.

A few weeks later, Shado moved Shade City back to Netheril. They were surprised and panicked to find that the empire had fallen. The Grand Arcanist and his people desperately searched for survivors but found nothing. Shade City was just a city. They were unable to fight against the phaerim demons, so in order to avoid the same fate as other cities, Shado decided to move Shade City back to the Shadowfell Underworld. They vowed to return to the country one day and rebuild the destroyed Nese Empire.

Now, more than a thousand years have passed since the fall of Nese, and Shado has become the supreme prince of the City of Shadows, Telamante. The ordinary great arcanist who was not respected at the time has become a national hero after these long years. There are only a handful of high-level legendary wizards, but what is different from what they imagined is that the City of Shadows has stayed in the Shadowfell Underworld for too long, too long.

It looks like Telamante has forgotten the appearance of the country.

"We are back, Your Highness." The speaker was Prince Hajhorna, the deputy of the Supreme Prince: "Look, the villagers are fighting."

"Oh, our disappearance has set back the entire country's civilization by at least two thousand years." The prince of Ghost City, Revalan Tanshur, looked at the raging battle below and couldn't help but sneer and said: "Look, these What are the villagers doing? They are still using swords, arrows, and dwarf muskets. These weapons have been outdated for who knows how many years. The people of the country are really getting more and more alive."

"This is a village war. A group of village chiefs are fighting. What's there to say?" Another Prince of Ghost City, Coraribonas Tanshur, commented coldly: "These villagers should see All of a sudden, Nese is back!"

Behind Telamante Tanshur stood 12 Princes of the City of Shadows. Each prince of the City of Shadows has legendary strength, but each person's division of labor is different. For example, Revalan Tanshur's His identity is the High Priest of Shar, Coraribonas-Tanshur's identity is the army commander, and Hajhorna's identity is the Hand of the Prince, both an assistant to Telamante and responsible for specific tasks. affairs officer.

"It's time to show these villagers how powerful we are, father."

"The little pig never knows the world outside the pig pen."

"The villagers are the villagers. Without the guidance of arcane magic, their ignorance is unimaginable!"

"Fight, father!" "Fight!"

The twelve Princes of Shadow City were either excited, polite, or contemptuous, but their opinions were undoubtedly unanimous.

The village chief's fight is worthless to watch. The Floating City is activated and the Haunted City army is dispatched, directly announcing to the whole country the return of our Nese glory!

Telamant never spoke, and his frozen expression made it difficult for those closest to him to understand what he was thinking.

"Everyone, you can't fight." Hand of the Prince Hajhorna immediately shook his head, trying to calm down the Princes of Shadow City who had been suffering in the Shadowfell Underworld for who knows how many years: "See those black knights below. Is it done?"

"What's wrong, are you afraid of our prince's hand? Are you afraid of the villagers' sickles or the villagers' spears?" Revalan Tanshur had always been jealous of Hadjhorna's status and immediately spoke out provocatively.

All the twelve princes of the City of Shadows are the children of Telamante Tanshur, and they were all born before the death of Nese. Only the princess of the City of Shadows, Misty Tanshur, is the daughter of Telamante Tanshur. Born after falling into the shadow world, Telamant regarded Misty as the apple of his eye and loved her extremely.

It's just that Misty was hand-picked by Shar as Night's hand-picked as soon as she was born. The father and daughter spend less time together and spend more time apart, which makes Telamante love his precious daughter even more.

"Who would be afraid of the villagers?" Hajhorna pointed at the black knights on the left wing of the Western Army: "Have you seen those knights?"

"They are the Bedai, the last remnants of Nese. They are the last remaining people in the country with the blood of Nese after nearly two thousand years! They have persisted in the desert of our Nese empire for more than a thousand years. To wait for our return in the mortal world." Prince Hand calmly said a cruel fact.

This time, the princes of Yinhun City calmed down a little.

"How loyal." A Prince of Shadow City said with emotion.

"Then let us see if what they have done is worthy of the title of my remnants of Nese."

Telamant's face was always as cold as ice, and the Supreme Prince said nothing. It was not until his sons had finished speaking that Telamant spoke slowly: "Don't be anxious, we respect your Majesty (referring to Shar) , but the fate of Yinhun City must be decided by us in Yinhun City."

"yes!"

…………

The appearance of the City of Shadows instantly put great pressure on the Eleanor Army on the left, especially the members of the Suellen Church. They immediately felt the aura of the Shadowfell Underworld. Their expressions were shaken and there was disbelief on their faces.

Floating city!

It's a floating city!

Netheril, back again? !

Eleanor herself knew something about the history of Ghost City, and the pastor quickly ordered the troops to retreat.

"Send the order, all retreat, and send someone to notify Aaron immediately!" Eleanor ordered very decisively: "Also, the Silver Hand releases the fire of heaven! The Chaos Hell Cannon is ready. As long as the floating city dares to approach, give it to me. Blow it down!"

"Yes!" Isobel and Ms. Irene took orders one after another, and the left wing of the Western Army began to retreat.

However, the orc army on the opposite side did not pursue it, because the floating city floating in the air reminded the orcs of the fear engraved deep in their souls.

In the past, Netheril wiped out hundreds of thousands of orcs in the Thunder Peak battle, killing all the green in the north. The orcs still feel numb when they think about it.

In this way, the emergence of Yinhun City changed the entire war situation.

"Hahahahahahahahaha!" On the Supreme Throne of the Endless Wilderness, Cyric laughed maniacally, thinking that Shar was really powerful and did what she said. No wonder she was so eager for Laila's Shadow Priesthood. It turned out that her subordinate There is such a group of people.

It's a pity that I can't give you the shadow priesthood. Dear Shar, what I can give you is.

The Prince of Lies wiped his hand on his Divine Calamity Sword, and a twisted and absurd sweetness came to his heart - I'll give you a sword!

The maniacal laughter in front of the High Throne never stopped. The humble mummy standing in front of the throne said nothing and allowed Cyric to laugh.

The Realm of Heart Fire, Suni Grand Temple.

"The City of Shadows! It's actually the City of Shadows!"

The other Nine Gods had not yet responded. Su Lun Mama stood up directly. The Silver Virgin Mother, who had always been very calm, turned pale when she saw the appearance of the City of Ghosts: "Shar!"

"Shar." Tyr's expression was serious, and sparks of thunder flashed in his empty eyes: "As expected, Shar still can't let go of his hatred for you."

"Now, things are getting interesting." War King Tempus observed the battle situation: "If the Sons of Ban army from the south presses forward again, the Western Army will be in a desperate situation."

"Hehehehe~" Suni covered her mouth and snickered. Seeing Su Lun's excitement, the fire-haired lady raised her eyebrows and covered her mouth: "It's really a red song composed of forbidden love and sisterly hatred. Lotus Love Song, hehehe~"

Several other goddesses in the Bright Water Realm were also snickering.

you! Su Lun Mama was really anxious now. She stood up from her seat and started to rush out.

But Eilistraee suddenly reached out and grabbed her skirt.

"Eilistraee?"

"Didn't you say that he is your most trusted child?" The dark girl calmed down at this time: "Since you believe in him, you should believe in him to the end."

"But..." Su Lun pursed his lips.

"I believe he can help me. For this reason, I signed the Absolute Contract with him. I sold myself completely to him." There was a sadness on Eilistraee's peaceful face, and the dark girl gently pulled Holding Su Lun's sleeve: "What about you, don't you believe in him as much as I do? Now that you have chosen to believe it, don't change it again, Su Lun."

…………

"Is this your backup force? Dark Sun?"

Under the banner of the Purple Dragon of Cormyr, Aaron, the commander-in-chief of the Western Army and General Zhengyi, slowly stood up straight.

At this time, the heavy fog had gradually dissipated. He raised his eyes and looked at Yinhun City, and then looked at the battlefield situation.

The confrontation on the left wing has temporarily stopped. Both the religious army and the orc troops are retreating. The confrontation on the right wing is also maintained at low intensity. Only the center of our side is advancing.

Aaron looked solemn. After Yinhun City appeared, he neither attacked the Western Army nor the Eastern Army, but remained silent. It was obvious that the great arcanists of Yinhun City did not want to end in such a hurry, and may not have decided on their side yet. Which side.

"The Zhentarim's goal is obvious, which is to support the center and attack from both wings. They want to break my left and right-wing armies first!"

Aaron smiled at Elminster and the others and said, "Very good. I haven't experienced this kind of situation for a long time since the Battle of Arabelle."

After saying that, a cold look appeared on Aaron's face, and he waved his hand to the attendants to come closer: "Start now, prepare the entire army!"

"Aaron, what is your plan?" Elminster touched his white beard, and the great sage was vaguely aware of Aaron's plan.

"Great Sage, Lord Blackstaff, Storm, Dove, and Ms. Lyla, the camp will be left to you." Aaron laughed loudly and took the reins of a half-griffon from Nestia's hand. He turned over and mounted his mount: "The rest, charge with me!"

"Advance the whole army! There is only one target, the Zhentarim camp in Tesway and Mansu's head!"

Aaron raised his sword to the sky, and after a golden light rose to the sky, it turned into a rain of light rolling down from the sky.

The great metal spell—Group Golden Cloak!

Aaron's entire army rose up, with the Holy Tree Knights and Furnace Knights led by Samir and Anomin in the center, the elites of the Bedai barbarians on the left, the barbarian heavy armored infantry led by White-robed Halfdan, and the Haval on the right. The ace infantry of the Shepherd Corps led by Er, Norrington, and Ramsey.

The formation was arranged with Aaron at the front, followed closely by the three brothers Nestia and Bode. The formation was like a crescent moon, slightly arc-shaped, and rushed straight towards Tesway!

"Duwu~duwu~"

The bugle sounded, and Aaron's formation moved!

"Aaron is attacking! General Aaron, the conquering barbarian general, has personally led his troops to kill us!"

Zhentarim Commander Selulah exclaimed.

On Teswei City, Mansu and others changed their expressions when they saw Aaron setting up the Crescent Formation at the moment he appeared in the City of Shadows and rushing straight towards the Teswei Zantalin Guild headquarters.

Just now, Mansu ordered Cyric's high-ranking priest Linda and a high-ranking priest Mirrormane to send troops to support the front line respectively, resulting in the Zhentarim strength in Tesway's headquarters being less than 20,000.

But now, Aaron actually led the charge personally!

Well, you are asking for death!

Mansu tightly held the Behelet in his hand. He glanced at the city wall under him, with a trace of determination and cunning in his eyes, and said: "Give the order, tighten the position. Our reinforcements have arrived, and there is another city wall." In this battle, I have the advantage!"

"Oh oh oh!" the surrounding Zhentarim generals roared together.

"Send the order, the entire army holds the line!"

"Set off fireworks, send people to urge the floating city on the Dragon's Spine, the dark army of Cormanthor Forest, and the demon elves to join the battle immediately!"

Mansu ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The messengers flew away.

However, before the order was fully issued, a series of hellish demonic roars came from the distance.

The Zhentarim congregation will automatically look away.

In the dissipating thick fog, more than a dozen fireballs were rising from Aaron's headquarters.

In just a moment, the Zhentarim generals realized what it was.

"Chaos Hell Cannon!!!" A tragic cry sounded in front of Mansu as the fire ball fell.

boom!

At the top of the city of Tesway, a huge cannonball from the Chaos Hellfire blasted down, blowing the city wall straight into the sky and creating a large crater. It blew up the entire Zhentarim tower and the six elite warriors above on the spot. A crossbow!

And there are still more than a dozen such shells that have not yet landed!

Aaron's side continued to exert force. Under the brilliant golden light rain, the Salian shogunate army was like a huge crescent coated with gold foil, arranged in a tight square formation, slowly advancing, rolling in!

Tylamante and others in the Haunted City suddenly changed their colors when they saw this scene.

Something is wrong!

This is not a village war at all! Aaron Salian is a powerful mage, and judging from his spell casting power, he is a very terrifying mage!

There was also the rising fire ball. The princes knew at a glance that this floating city would not be able to withstand a few more blows.

"Where's Misty? Why hasn't she come back yet?!"

"What do you think, Your Majesty? If this kind of Moon Maiden's chosen one is allowed to grow, the future will be limitless!"

"This child must not be kept!"
