There is no doubt that chasing a group of completely collapsed and fleeing monsters in the dark night is obviously not an easy task.
Even for the new Amn army that has a certain night vision ability, and the dragons that are mass-produced through magical genetic technology, they can only intercept the large targets first and give up one or two or three small targets.
After all, there is a famous saying that goes, as long as the troops do not give up resistance and choose to surrender as a whole, it will take several days to catch even thousands or tens of thousands of pigs running around.
Not to mention the group of extremely vicious and horrible monsters in front of us that can eat humans as food.
Moreover, since the situation on the battlefield was already in chaos, a large number of uncontrollable coalition soldiers were following the monsters and chasing them, and there was no so-called formation or battle line.
Therefore, if you use legendary magic or a magic ritual with a large impact area, it is easy to accidentally injure friendly forces.
Helplessly, they could only let these guys who were stimulated by blood and killing revel in their carnival.
After all, which town in the North had not been invaded by monsters and barbarians from the wild? So when there was a chance to slaughter these damn enemies, they would not show mercy.
Generally, we kill as many as we can.
Only when the number of wild monsters that symbolize barbarism decreases, can the towns and villages that represent civilization become a little safer.
The relationship between the two sides is somewhat similar to the conflict over living space that lasted for a long time between nomadic civilization and agricultural civilization on Earth.
Except for a very small number of morally squeamish paladins and priests of good gods, most town rulers advocate the extermination of these threats from the wild world without leaving a single one alive.
It is possible that the barbarian tribes, which are also branches of the human race, have the opportunity to become slaves after being defeated in the war, or to kill all the adult men and leave only the women and children for integration.
No matter whether they were goblins, orcs, lizardmen, or the more powerful ogres, trolls, and hill giants, there was only one result of their defeat, and that was the death of the entire family, young and old.
Even newborn babies would be drowned, thrown to death, or burned to death without mercy.
Of course, the same thing is true in reverse.
If these monsters break into towns and villages, they will brutally massacre the villagers.
For example, throwing a baby into your mouth and chewing it as a snack, enjoying the waiting of its father and mother in pain and despair, and the resistance that poses no threat to you at all.
Under the influence of gods, demons, devils, and celestial beings, the conflict between good and evil, order and chaos in this world is so intense and extreme that mortals must also be a little extreme in order to struggle to survive, rather than become an insignificant record in history.
Some of them don't even have a few words recorded, they appear and disappear silently.
As an outsider and a planeswalker who possesses the ability to travel freely in the endless universe, Zuo Si understands the thoughts of these ordinary people who lack power very well, so instead of choosing to stop them, he lets them vent to their heart's content.
He entered Baldur's Gate with representatives from various towns and announced to the residents that they had successfully expelled the evil forces from Zhentil Keep. He also held a banquet in the palace in the center of the city, the Hall of the Supremes, to entertain these allies who came from afar. As for the remaining cleanup work on the battlefield, he directly left it to Vera.
At the same time, he ordered the professional bureaucrats who arrived with the army to begin taking over important departments and completely bring this important port hub connecting Sword Bay and Sword Sea under their control.
If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow morning a large number of people who are unaware of the truth will be instigated by people with ulterior motives to gather in front of the palace in the center of the city and petition to be incorporated into Amn.
After all, during the time they were occupied by Fuzol Chamberlain, they all experienced the pain of being at the mercy of others and were in desperate need of protection from a strong man.
In addition, the entire upper ruling class of Baldur's Gate and many of the richest businessmen were also wiped out. Even the top leaders of the guilds and chambers of commerce were only a few left, and effective management was impossible to organize.
The most important thing is that the maritime merchants who hold the greatest voice today are all comprador classes that have been supported by the Nalanther Islands over the years.
For them it doesn't matter who rules Baldur's Gate, what matters is that they sell it for a good price.
Once they join Amn, these merchants specializing in sea transportation will be able to enjoy more favorable taxes and the right to do business in any port along the entire west coast.
Therefore, they are the most active in this matter, and even take the initiative to buy food and drinks and distribute them to the people for free, and then use this to win people's hearts and realize their wishes.
Zuo Si himself was well aware of this.
He had already written the script, and was prepared to agree to it tomorrow morning after pretending to be humble, and obtain the legal right to rule Baldur's Gate in front of representatives from various towns in the north.
Not only Baldur's Gate, but all the towns built along the Chongsa River, extending all the way to the Dragon Coast in the east, will be done the same way.
This is also one of the ultimate purposes of gathering so many allies.
After all, the "legitimate right to rule" simply depends on whether it is recognized by other surrounding forces and the majority of the people.
On the west coast of the continent of Faerun, the two powerful countries in the south, Kalinshan and Tesser, have already fallen into the hands of Shane VII, so he will certainly recognize without hesitation the legitimacy of Zuo Si's occupation and rule of the West Heartland region.
Therefore, the most urgent thing to deal with is actually the northern towns that previously followed the lead of Silvermoon City and Waterdeep City.
Now Zuo Si has forced Waterdeep to publicly give up its leadership through a crushing military victory, and at the same time united Queen Alustriel of Silvermoon City and Lord Nasir of Neverwinter City.
Coupled with the blessing of the "democratic" halo, no one can find any fault with it.
In other words, all the lands south of the Winding River, including Baldur's Gate, will become part of the Empire of Amn.
But this Amn Empire will no longer be ruled by merchants and oligarchs, but will implement a truly unified centralized monarchy.
As an emperor who was about to be crowned, Zuo Si had already learned how to use different talents to assist him in managing huge and complex affairs. He was not like most kings and lords in the world who did everything by themselves.
What the real leader needs is to put the right people in the right positions, and then establish a set of effective laws and rules, as well as a regulatory system independent of the first two.
In this way, automatic operation can be achieved for an organization as small as one or a country as large as one.
What's more, what he wants to be is the master of power, not its slave.
And so, accompanied by cheerful music, wine, food and dancing, the fallen Baldur's Gate finally welcomed its liberator and true master.
In the eyes of most outsiders, Zuo Si, the new leader who seems fair, kind, powerful, prestigious and capable, will definitely lead everyone towards a bright future of increasing wealth and happiness.
Only rational and intelligent people like Elastro, Khelben, Leila, and Pirgalen could perceive the astonishing ambition revealed in Zuo Si's calm eyes.
Without a doubt!
Occupying all the land south of the Winding River was not the young man's ultimate goal, but the first step in a grand plan to annex the West Coast.
After completing the marriage with King Shane VII of the South and completing internal integration, his next target will definitely be the entire North.
But these people don't know how and what means he will use to achieve his goal next time.
Just as the entire Baldur's Gate was in a frenzy, Vera, the battlefield commander, finally walked through the banquet wearing blood-stained armor, came straight to Zuo Si's side, and reported in a low voice: "Master, the battle outside the city is over.
Most of the monsters abandoned by Fuzzol Chamberlain have been destroyed.
Only a very few escaped to the sea from the cliffs west of the battlefield.
But I think given the height and steepness of the Sword Coast, it is impossible for creatures other than trolls to survive."
"Good job. What are our losses?"
Zuo Si took back the command staff and asked calmly.
"We lost a total of 252 heavy infantrymen and 77 heavy knights.
The dark elves suffered heavy casualties, about three hundred people.
As for the losses of other allies, they have not been counted yet, but the total will not exceed two thousand.
Fortunately, the priests have already begun treating the wounded, and some of those who have performed bravely will be resurrected.
When I entered the city, I ordered the logistics department to prepare sumptuous food and drinks to reward them for their heroic performance tonight.
Oh, and yes, there are those metallic dragons.
After defeating and capturing the black and green dragons, they are eager to meet you."
Vera quickly shared the information she had.
It was not difficult to tell from her bright eyes that she was still in a highly excited state.
After all, a war of this scale is definitely not something that any country in the current continent of Faerun can afford.
Once it breaks out, the influence will certainly not be limited to the West Coast, but will continue to spread far and wide as time goes by.
In addition to such an astonishing casualty ratio, the opponents are still Zhentil Castle and powerful monsters such as ogres, trolls, and giants.
It is foreseeable that the name Vera Salem Quante will inevitably be recorded by historians and become one of the most important symbols of the era.
And this is exactly what this woman who destroyed her own family wanted to get with all her might.
Prove yourself!
Gaining recognition from everyone in the outside world! This is Vera's strongest obsession deep in her heart.
And she knew very well that apart from Xia En VII and Zuo Si, there was no other person in power in the world who would give a crazy person like her a chance.
"More than 300 people lost? Not bad. Tell the people in charge of collecting the bodies not to bury the bodies of the new army soldiers for the time being. I will personally revive them later."
A satisfied smile appeared on Zuo Si's face.
Obviously, these mass-produced human warriors enhanced by magic have passed the test.
Because they defeated the phalanx of ogres, trolls and giants with almost no effort on the front battlefield.
The almost exaggerated battle damage ratio clearly and intuitively proves its strong combat capability.
Moreover, most of the deaths of the new army soldiers came from magical attacks, especially the ogre magician and several evil giants.
As for physical attacks, unsurprisingly, they are all siege-grade crossbows and bed crossbows.
This means that unless they are facing an army composed entirely of fire giants over 3.6 meters tall and frost giants around 6.5 meters tall, no one can defeat the new army of Amn on a frontal battlefield.
"As you wish!"
Vera knelt on one knee and kissed the magic ring on Zuo Si's finger to show her submission.
Although the relationship between the two had been established long ago, it was only done out of necessity before, but today she was willing to do it.
Even if it means sacrificing the entire Salem family.
Soon, under the leadership of this slightly crazy woman, Zuo Si left Baldur's Gate and once again came to the battlefield outside the city, casting resurrection and wishing spells on those soldiers who died bravely.
After a while, more than 300 bodies that had just died came back to life and rejoined the team.
You have to know that he spent a lot of thought, energy, time and resources to build these soldiers.
You just want to lie down and die after fighting a battle?
Don't be ridiculous! Zuo Si would only allow these soldiers to die or retire after serving for at least twenty years.
Before that, even if the corpse was beaten to pieces or eaten up, he would use the power of magic and divine arts to pull it back from the world of death.
And even if they die, their bodies must be preserved intact to be used to create powerful undead creatures, or thrown into the sparkling oil for complete transformation.
However, these soldiers have not yet realized the seriousness of the problem. Instead, they are grateful to their loyal masters for being resurrected, and the morale and loyalty of the entire army have been greatly improved.
After all, who wouldn't want to have a generous master who would spend a huge price to resurrect them after they died heroically in battle?
As for the soldiers who died in other towns...
Sorry, Zuo Si would not waste precious spellcasting materials and energy on these people. He simply promised to pay a pension of 100 gold coins to the families of the fallen.
You have to know that this is not a small amount of money for most town guards and militias.
It is equivalent to the total salary of several years even if they don't eat or drink.
As for the remaining soldiers who participated in the war, bonuses will be distributed according to the number of beheadings and combat performance of each person.
In short, when it comes to being generous, Zuo Si is never the least bit stingy.
What's more, after the money is distributed, the soldiers will inevitably consume it, purchasing a variety of goods and services, thereby driving rapid economic development.
Ultimately, through the huge and unified market of the trade alliance, the party with the strongest technology and production capacity will be able to make back all the money with interest.
And Zuo Si happened to be the biggest monopolist among them, no doubt about it.
When he walked out of the barracks, all the soldiers shouted his name like crazy and raised their glasses to drink.
No one would not like to follow a generous leader.
This is also a common characteristic of all people who have made great achievements in history.
Seeing the dark elves and their human allies drinking and eating meat together in the military camp, boasting to each other about how many monsters they had just killed, and then laughing together, Kuilu couldn't help but feel a little relieved. She looked up at the bright moon and said softly, "Great Goddess Eilistraee, did you see that? We have finally won the right to return to the surface world through our own efforts."
moment!
A naked dark elf girl slowly walked out of the darkness and responded with joy: "Of course I saw it, my dear chosen ones. Through this war, you have won the trust and acceptance of mankind. Promise me that you will seize this hard-won opportunity and not let the tragedy of the past happen again."
"Please rest assured, even if you don't remind me, I will protect the hard-earned results and carefully nurture it to grow into a towering tree."
Kuilu gave a solemn guarantee.
But soon, she suddenly changed the subject and asked tentatively in an uncertain tone: "Regarding Soth, how do you plan to repay him? You know, we owe him a big favor."
"Haha, this is not a problem you need to worry about. I have already prepared a thank-you gift for Soth. When the construction of the dungeon is completed in a while, remember to invite him to attend the opening ceremony."
After saying that, Iristri winked playfully, then turned into a ray of moonlight and disappeared into the open space.
Apparently, Kuilu was no longer surprised by the fact that her goddess often behaved like a girl. She smiled and shook her head, then quickly turned to find another young voter, Lirael Baenre.
Perhaps because everyone was celebrating the victory, no one noticed that near the mudflats dozens of kilometers away from the battlefield, several severely injured green and black dragons, covered in blood, were lying on the ground, bound by heavy magic chains.
In addition to several metal dragons of the good camp, there were more than twenty genetically modified dragons about seven or eight meters long and the knights on their backs.
If that guy is not honest and wants to escape, the knight will immediately raise the spear in his hand that is flashing with silver electric light and use the "Great Memory Restoration Spell" on the opponent.
All dragons that have been electrocuted will, without exception, experience severe reactions such as convulsions and foaming at the mouth.
Moreover, the metal dragons also showed strong curiosity towards these dragons that were neither evil nor good, but rather presented an absolutely neutral camp like beasts.
Because they could feel that although these dragons that were very similar to themselves were not 100% real dragons, they definitely had the blood of real dragons mixed in, and also had the bloodlines of some other strange dragons.
His relatively low intelligence is ultimately due to his young age.
After a few decades or even hundreds of years, they will naturally become smarter as they grow older.
Just when the leading golden dragon wanted to ask one of the knights what was going on with these young dragons that grew too fast, Zuo Si cast a teleportation magic and appeared out of thin air.
Without saying anything, Gorsaniya ran up to him and gave him a hug, complaining, "Damn it! Why did you come just now? We've been waiting for you for a while."
"Excuse me, you know, I am the organizer of this coalition, so I have to arrange other things first."
Zuo Si pretended to be apologetic and reached out his hand to gently stroke the other person's long golden hair.
This intimate action immediately made Golsaniya's heart beat faster.
But just when she was thirsty and didn't know what to say, the leading female golden dragon immediately came over and asked in a very gentle and pleasant voice: "Good evening, Lord Soth, the common elect of the two goddesses.
I am Narjania, sister to Golsania and leader of all the metallic dragons that nest in this area.
Thank you very much for saving Golsaniya earlier.
Please allow me to express my sincerest gratitude to you on behalf of my mother, father and other brothers and sisters."
“You’re welcome, ma’am.
Because anyone with a conscience in their heart would not watch such an innocent and lovely golden dragon girl die.
Zuo Si replied politely.
Golsania nodded and agreed, "That's right, sister. I live very well in the Mage Tower in Soth. Not only do I have delicious food every day, but I also have a group of kind servants to serve me. It's even better than when I lived in my mother's nest."
"Eat, eat, eat! All you do is eat! Do you know? Ever since the news that you were seriously injured and missing came, father and mother have been so anxious that they almost went to Zhentil Keep to fight to the death."
The female golden dragon who called herself Naryenia instantly transformed into an elf, raised her hand and knocked hard on her sister's head, her eyes filled with disappointment.
"Hey...what's wrong with eating?"
Gorsaniya stared at her "sister" with her two innocent big eyes, and the word "grievance" was written all over her face.
Unfortunately, Nar Yenia ignored her and continued to lock her eyes with Zuo Si and asked, "Sir Soth, if you don't mind, can you tell me what is going on with the dragon creatures controlled by these knights?"
"I can only tell you that they are the product of some kind of magical experiment, integrating the blood of dragons from many worlds."
Zuo Si gave a very vague answer directly.
Because his ultimate goal is to create a perfect species of dragon, one that can grow as fast as the dragons in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, and also have the same high intelligence and magical talent as the dragons in Faerun.
Of course, this plan is still in its infancy and can only create dragons with relatively low intelligence, but which will become smarter as they age.
In fact, in Zuo Si's eyes, the blood of Nicol Bolas and the spirit dragon Ugin, which originated from the primordial dragon, is the most desired perfect dragon gene.
It’s a pity that these two elder dragons and ancient planeswalkers are not people he can afford to offend for the time being.
"A fusion of the bloodlines of giant dragons from multiple worlds? I see!"
Naryenia had obviously heard of the name of the planeswalker Zuo Si, and she also understood where the strange feeling these dragon mounts gave her came from.
Fortunately, she did not dwell on this issue for too long. After getting the answer she wanted, she quickly suggested, "Sir Soth, these evil green dragons and black dragons will be left to you to deal with.
If there's nothing else, we'll leave.
Because I also have to tell my father, mother and the elders everything that happened here.
Whether it is that Golsania is safe and sound, or that a new group of dragons have appeared in the world of Toril, it is very important news to us. "
“Of course.
But are you sure you don't want to go to the feast and revelry going on at Baldur's Gate, where there's unlimited free food and wine, and bards and clowns performing comedies?
As allies in the fight against evil, I think it wouldn't be too late for you to have a couple of drinks before you leave."
Zuo Si extended an invitation enthusiastically.
moment!
Several silver dragons who liked lively and social activities were moved, their eyes revealed longing, and they all turned their gazes to Naryenia.
The latter immediately responded with a helpless smile: "Whoever wants to go can go, don't worry about me."
"Aha! I knew you were the most reasonable one."
Before he finished his words, the male silver dragon spread his wings and flew towards Baldur's Gate.
Upon seeing this, several other silver dragons and brass dragons also flew into the air to join in the fun.
After all, in this world where entertainment is relatively scarce, banquets and carnivals are of great appeal to metal dragons of the good camp.
What's more, food and drinks are provided free of charge.
No dragon would refuse free stuff, even if it was worth nothing.
In their inherent thinking, if they don’t gain an advantage, they will suffer a great loss, and they may not be able to sleep for several days because of this.
After watching several of her companions disappear into the night sky, Naryenia quickly took off into the sky with the other two golden dragons, flying towards the forests and mountains in the east.
After all of them had left, Gorsaniya let out a long sigh and muttered in a voice that only she could hear: "Huh - I finally got away with it. I really don't know how my sister will react if she finds out that I can no longer fly."
"You seem to be afraid of your sister?"
Zuo Si glanced at the golden dragon girl and asked with interest.
"Yeah! How could I not be afraid?
You know, when I was still a young dragon, my sister was already an adult.
Besides, she has no sense of humor at all and always likes to lecture people with a stern face.
Almost every time I got into trouble, my father and mother might not beat me, but my sister would definitely not miss the opportunity to teach me a lesson.
It can even be said that I have been bullied by her since I was a child.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have left my parents’ nest so early to venture out on my own.”
When her biological sister was mentioned, Gorsaniya immediately put on a pitiful and desperate look.
That expression was exactly the same as the reaction of many brothers and sisters who had been bullied by their sisters all their lives.
"Hahaha! Okay, stop complaining to me here. I'm sure you must be hungry after all this time. Let's go to Baldur's Gate and enjoy the banquet and food."
As he spoke, Zuo Si cast a teleportation magic to send the golden dragon girl to the banquet in the palace, and then dismissed the dragon knights.
After all the irrelevant people disappeared, he walked straight to the captured green dragon and black dragon, stroked his chin and asked with a smile: "Who can tell me what I should do with you now?"
moment!
Several evil dragons shuddered uncontrollably, with fear appearing in their pupils.
They were not fools. They knew how many colorful dragons had fallen to the hands of the young man in front of them in recent years on the west coast of Faerun.
Especially the death of the legendary dragon king Iryklathasagran "Sharptooth" made many famous evil dragons involuntarily feel grieving for the loss of the rabbit.
After a full minute, the only male green dragon in his prime finally asked, "What do you want me to do in order for you to let us go?"
"My request is simple. Whoever tells me the distribution of all the green dragon nests in the Dragon Forest first can survive. As for the other dragons..."
A devilish, creepy smile appeared on Zuo Si's face.
Watching enemies turn against each other and kill each other for the last hope of survival is one of his favorite things to watch.
The pure evil that completely abandons etiquette, morality, and shame, as well as the series of chain reactions caused by suspicion and betrayal, are interesting and full of expectations just thinking about them.
It turns out that in most cases, the more intelligent creatures are, the more difficult it is for them to unite.
Especially when they are all selfish and only care about their own interests, suspicion and betrayal will come much faster than expected.
What was even more unexpected was that before the insidious green dragons could even open their mouths, a chaotic evil black dragon shouted at the top of his lungs: "I! I know the situation inside the Dragon Forest, and the exact locations of those dragon nests."
"Asshole! Mulharansi! How dare you betray the secret of the great green dragon! Have you forgotten who took you in, a stray dog, and who allowed you to build a nest on the edge of the dragon forest?"
Another adult green dragon raised its head and cursed loudly.
Unfortunately, the so-called Mulharans had no intention of refutation at all. He crawled to Zuo Si's feet like a dog, lowered his huge head deeply, and said in a flattering tone: "Lord Sos! I am willing to be your servant and mount, and I am willing to obey every order you give. As long as you are willing to spare my life."
It must be said that his attitude immediately confused Zuo Si.
Because Zuo Si had encountered many dragons, he understood how proud and conceited these guys were by nature.
This is the first time I have ever encountered such a shameless person with a super strong desire to survive.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
Zuo Si looked the other person up and down, his eyes revealing naked and undisguised distrust.
"Yes! I'm absolutely sure! Because I'm not like these idiots who don't understand the situation.
I don't want to die, and I don't want to be turned into a mindless puppet by you.
So I am willing to accept any harsh conditions, as long as they are not the two worst outcomes mentioned above. "
Murharan obviously got some information about Zuo Si from somewhere, so he behaved particularly submissively.
You have to know that his original purpose of coming here was just to get more commissions from Fuzzol Chamberlain, and he had no intention of really fighting on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, when it comes to conspiracy and intrigue, the black dragon is no match for Bane's voters. As a result, he not only failed to earn any commission, but also accidentally lost himself.
Whenever he thought of this incident, Mulharan felt so angry that his teeth itched.
"Haha, well, I like your sense of urgency. In that case, how about we sign a contract?"
As the last word came out of his mouth, a Hell Contract was instantly generated and placed directly in front of the black dragon.
Smelling the pungent smell of sulfur, Mulharan immediately realized that this was the devil's stuff, but he signed his name on the last line without even looking at it.
He was undoubtedly very aware that he had no bargaining power at all.
Rather than quibbling and risking the other person's anger, it is better to act more single.
When the contract was ignited and took effect, Zuo Si raised his hand and snapped his fingers, immediately removing the magic chains on the other party.
The remaining green dragons and black dragons were stuffed into the suitcase.
What awaits them will be being sent to the Zendikar plane to increase their size and age through time magic, and then being immersed in sparkling oil to be transformed into pure war monsters.
Watching Zuo Si's smooth movements, Murhalansi immediately congratulated himself on making the right choice. He leaned forward and asked carefully, "Master, are you planning to attack the green dragons in the Dragon Forest next? I can go undercover and gather intelligence for you."
"No, don't bother. Davian!"
Zuo Si called out the Flame Dragon Knight's name directly.
The next second...
This sturdy man, who exuded amazing fire energy all over his body, stepped through the portal and appeared accurately in an open space two meters away.
"Master, are you calling me?"
As he said this, he stared at the black dragon not far away with his red eyes, which frightened the latter so much that it quickly took several steps back.
The former's terrifying aura and murderous gaze made Mulharan feel as if he was facing the most powerful ancient red dragon.
"Go to the Dragon Forest for me and kill all the green and black dragons living there.
I want all the dragons living in this land to know clearly what the consequences will be if they become my enemy.
This black dragon knows the locations of all the green dragon lairs, and he will be responsible for leading you there."
After saying that, Zuo Si activated the teleportation magic and disappeared on the spot.
As soon as he left, Davian changed from human form to a fiery red dragon emitting scorching heat. With a bloodthirsty smile on his face, he said to the black dragon, which was only one-tenth of his size: "Come on, little guy, let's have fun killing. I hope these green dragons are strong enough, otherwise it would be too boring if they were too easy to kill."
Gulp!
Murhalan swallowed his saliva immediately and nodded his head: "Understood! Please follow me!"
Under the suppression of such a huge size, energy and magical power, he didn't dare to raise any objection at all. He immediately flapped his wings and took off into the air regardless of the injuries on his body, flying towards the northeast.
Davian followed closely behind, streaking a bright, blinding red light across the night sky.
At the current speed, in a few dozen minutes at most, the green dragons living in the Dragon Forest will face a horrific disaster.
…
On the other side, after a long and rapid march, Eribes has arrived at Iliaba, the most important transportation hub leading to the Dragon Coast from the Chongsa River.
After a fierce battle, she successfully led an army of 5,500 people to defeat the 300 defenders left behind by Zhentil Castle, and seized a large amount of supplies that had not yet been transported away from the warehouse at the riverside dock.
You know, looking at the map, Dongxing City is the city located at the end of the river.
But in fact, there is no river there, and it is quite a distance away from the river.
Although it is not impossible to transport, the problem is that there are a lot of rocks and dirt roads that make it impossible for large carriages to pass, so even if it is transported, it can only be a small-scale transportation.
Most of the goods still have to be loaded and unloaded in Iliaba, and then take the main road through Donghang City, Prapur, and Evanso, and finally arrive at ports such as Pros or Tesir and Ximen.
Looking at the mountains of food, weapons, gold, silver and jewelry in the warehouse, Eribes took a deep breath and immediately ordered without turning his head: "Close the city gate immediately! Let everyone start to reinforce the city walls and ports!
Fuzzol Chamberlain will certainly not allow so many untransported supplies to be intercepted by us.
Given his character, he would definitely lead the defeated army to attack and take these things back."
"Now? Our soldiers have just fought a difficult siege battle, and it is time for them to relax and rest."
An adjutant from another town suddenly looked embarrassed.
After all, allowing soldiers to drink and find women after a battle is the norm for guards and militia in most towns in the North.
In a job like this that requires you to work hard, there may be no tomorrow after today, and the idea is to enjoy life in the moment.
If they were forcibly recalled at this time, it would at best lead to complaints from the soldiers, and at worst would cause a serious mutiny.
Especially without the new Amn army led by Zuo Si as a deterrent, God knows what these guys whose desires are not satisfied will do.
Eribes was the second-in-command of Neverwinter's power system. He was well aware of the conduct of the guards and militiamen in other northern towns. He also knew what the officer was worried about, and immediately promised, "Tell those soldiers! If they come back to carry out orders now, I will ask Lord Soth to give them a substantial bonus after I resist Zhentil Castle's counterattack.
I believe no one would doubt the generosity of Mr. Soth, right?"
moment!
The adjutant's eyes sparkled as he praised, "Good idea! I'll send people to the taverns and brothels in the city to gather all the..."
Before he finished speaking!
A fully armed Neverwinter guard walked in from outside and shouted, "Report! Ms. Erebeth!
An army under the banner of the Kingdom of Cormyr arrived outside the city.
Their number was not large, only about 300 people, but they were all elite knights.
The young woman in the lead claimed to be Yalusail Nakachia Obaischiel, the daughter of His Majesty King Yasan IV, and was given the title of Iron Princess.
She was ordered to help us stop the army of Zhentil Fort and prevent Fuzol Chamberlain from taking away the looted supplies and treasures."
"Iron Princess Yalucel?!"
Upon hearing this name, Aribes immediately showed an expression of great surprise.
Because of the epic battle that broke out in Leatherman a few years ago, even though she was in the far north, she had heard a little about it.
Whether it was the courage and determination of King Assan IV of the Kingdom of Cormyr in his expedition thousands of miles away, or the outstanding performance of the Iron Princess in the war, she, as a paladin, admired them all.
But Aribeth didn't understand why the other party suddenly sent troops to help, and how they passed through the port cities and sea routes controlled by Zhentil Castle.
