Chapter 481: Be the Master of Power, Not the Slave (10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)



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 wailing 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."

自称纳尔耶尼娅的雌性金龙瞬间也变身成为精灵形态,抬起手用力敲了下妹妹的小脑瓜,眼神中充满了恨铁不成钢的失望。

“哎呀……吃有什么错?”

歌尔萨尼娅瞪着两只无辜的大眼睛看着自家“姐姐大人”,脸上更是写满了“委屈”二字。

只可惜,纳尔耶尼娅没有理会她,而是继续用目光锁定左思并询问道:“索斯阁下,如果不介意的话,您能告诉我这些骑士操控的龙类生物是怎么回事吗?”

“我只能告诉你它们是某种魔法实验的产物,融合了很多个世界巨龙的血脉。”

左思直截了当给出了一个十分模糊的答案。

因为他的最终目的是创造出一种完美的龙种,既能像冰与火之歌世界的龙那样快速成长,又能拥有费伦大陆巨龙这样超高的智商和魔法天赋。

当然,眼下这个计划还处在起步阶段,只能制造出这种智力相对比较低下、但会随着年龄增长不断变聪明的龙。

事实上,在左思的眼中,尼可·波拉斯和灵龙乌金那源自太初之龙的血脉,才是最渴望得到的完美巨龙基因。

只可惜,眼下这两条长老龙兼上古旅法师暂时还不是他能惹得起的。

“融合了多个世界巨龙的血脉?原来如此!”

纳尔耶尼娅显然听说过左思旅法师的名头,同样也明白这些巨龙坐骑给自己那种怪异的感觉源自何处。

不过好在她并未在这问题上纠缠太久,得到自己想要的答案之后很快便提议道:“索斯阁下,这些邪恶的绿龙和黑龙就交给您处置吧。

如果没什么其他的事情,我们就先离开了。

因为我还要把这里发生的一切告诉父亲、母亲和长老们。

不管是歌尔萨尼娅平安无事,还是托瑞尔世界出现了一群新的龙种,对于我们而言都是非常重要的消息。”

“当然没问题。

不过你们确定不去博德之门参加正在举办的宴会跟狂欢吗? 要知道那边可是在无限量提供免费的食物跟美酒,而且还有吟游诗人和小丑表演的滑稽剧。

作为共同对抗邪恶的盟友,我觉得你们应该喝上两杯再走也不迟。”

左思热情的发出邀请。

瞬间!

几名喜好热闹跟社交的银龙心动了,眼神中透露出向往之色,纷纷把目光投向纳尔耶尼娅。

后者顿时无奈的笑着回应道:“你们谁想去就去,不用管我。”

“啊哈!我就知道你最通情达理了。”

话音未落,这条雄性银龙便张开双翼朝博德之门所在地方向飞去。

另外几名银龙和黄铜龙见状也都纷纷腾空而起去凑热闹了。

毕竟在这个娱乐相对匮乏的世界中,宴会和狂欢对于善良阵营的金属龙而言有着莫大的吸引力。

更何况还免费提供食物和酒水。

没有任何一条巨龙会拒绝免费的东西,哪怕这些东西根本值不了几个钱。

在他们的固有思维中,没有占到便宜那就是吃了大亏,搞不好一连几天都会因此而睡不着觉。

目送几名同伴消失在夜空之中,纳尔耶尼娅很快也带着另外两条金龙腾空而起,朝着东边的森林和山脉方向飞去。

等这些同类都走光,歌尔萨尼娅这才长长的出了一口气,用只有自己才能听见的声音嘟囔着:“呼——总算是糊弄过去了。真不知道让姐姐发现我已经不能飞了,她究竟会作何反应。”

“你好像很怕自己的姐姐?”

左思撇了一眼金龙少女饶有兴致的问。

“是啊!怎么可能会不怕呢。

要知道在我还是条雏龙的时候,姐姐就已经成年了。

而且她这个家伙根本没有半点幽默感,总是喜欢板着脸教训人。

几乎每次闯祸之后,父亲和母亲不一定会揍我,但姐姐肯定不会放过教训我的机会。

甚至可以说,我基本就是被她从小欺负到大的。

否则的话我也不会这么早离开父母的巢穴自己出来闯荡。”

一提起自己的亲生姐姐,歌尔萨尼娅立刻摆出一副可怜兮兮的绝望模样。

那表情就跟许多被自己姐姐欺负了一辈子的弟弟姐妹反应如出一辙。

“哈哈哈哈!好了,别在这跟我诉苦。想必折腾了这么长时间,你的肚子也应该饿了,快点去博德之门参加宴会享受美酒和美食吧。”

说着,左思施展了一个传送魔法,把金龙少女送到宫殿的宴会现场,紧跟着又遣散了那些龙骑士。

等所有无关人员全部消失之后,他这才径直走到那些被俘虏的绿龙和黑龙面前,摸着下巴似笑非笑的问:“谁能告诉我,我现在应该拿你们怎么办呢?”

瞬间!

几条恶龙顿时不受控制的打了个激灵,瞳孔中纷纷浮现出恐惧之色。

他们可不是傻瓜,知道最近几年费伦大陆西海岸有多少色彩龙惨遭眼前这个年轻人的毒手。

尤其是传奇龙王艾薇柯拉撒格兰“锐齿”的陨落,让不少名声在外的恶龙都不由自主产生了兔死狐悲的情绪。

足足过了一分钟,在场唯一一条处在壮年的雄性绿龙才开口询问道:“究竟要怎么样,你才肯放过我们?”

“我的要求很简单。谁先告诉我巨龙森林里所有绿龙巢穴的分布情况,那么他就可以活下来。至于其他的龙……”

左思脸上浮现出魔鬼般令人毛骨悚然的笑容。

看着敌人为了争夺最后一个活下来的希望而反目成仇、自相残杀,正是他最喜欢的节目之一。

那种完全抛弃礼仪、道德、廉耻的纯粹之恶,还有猜忌、背叛所产生的一系列连锁反应,光是想想都让人觉得有趣且充满期待。

事实证明,在绝大多数时候越是拥有高智商的生物就越难以团结起来。

尤其当他们个个都是自私自利之徒,只会为了自己的利益着想时,猜忌与背叛来得要比预料中快得多。

更出人意料的时还没等阴险狡诈的绿龙们来得及开口,一名混乱邪恶的黑龙便扯着嗓子大喊道:“我!我知道巨龙森林内部的情况,还有那些龙巢穴的具体位置。”

“混蛋!穆尔哈兰斯!你怎么敢出卖伟大绿龙的秘密!难道你忘记了,当初时谁收留你这个丧家之犬,又是谁允许你在巨龙森林的边缘修筑巢穴?”

另外一条成年绿龙抬起头厉声咒骂。

只可惜,被称之为穆尔哈兰斯完全没有半点想要反驳的意思,像条狗一样蠕动着爬到左思脚下,将硕大的脑袋深深低下去,用谄媚讨好的语气说道:“索斯大人!我愿意成为您的仆人兼坐骑,愿意服从您所下达的每一个命令。只要您肯饶我一命。”

不得不说,他的这幅姿态顿时把左思给整不会了。

因为左思已经遇到过很多的龙,明白这些家伙骨子里的天性有多么骄傲和自负。

像眼前这种完全不要脸、求生欲直接拉满的奇葩,这还是有史以来第一次碰到。

“你确定要这样做?”

左思上下打量着对方,眼神中透露出赤裸裸毫不掩饰的不信任。

“没错!我非常确定! 因为我跟这些还没搞清楚状况的蠢货不一样。

我不想死,更不想被您变成没有思想的傀儡。

所以我愿意接受任何苛刻的条件,只要不是以上那两种最糟糕的结局就行。”

穆尔哈兰斯明显是从什么地方得知了一些关于左思的情报,因此表现得格外顺从。

要知道他最初来的目的仅仅只是想要从傅佐尔·钱伯瑞手里多捞点佣金,根本没想要真上战场拼命。

可以遗憾的是在阴谋诡计方面,这条黑龙根本不是班恩选民的对手,结果佣金没赚到反而一不小心把自己赔了进去。

一想起这件事情,穆尔哈兰斯就恨得牙根痒痒。

“呵呵,好吧,我喜欢你的识时务。既然如此,那就让我们来签订一份契约如何?”

伴随着最后一个字脱口而出,一份地狱契约瞬间生成,直接摊在了黑龙的面前。

闻到那刺鼻的硫磺味,穆尔哈兰斯顿时便意识到这是魔鬼的玩意,但却连看都没看便在最后一行签下了自己的名字。

他无疑非常清楚,自己根本没有一丁点讨价还价的权力。

与其冒着激怒对方的风险斤斤计较,倒不如表现的光棍一点。

当契约点燃生效之后,左思便抬起手打了个响指,立马解除对方身上那些魔法锁链。

而剩下那几条绿龙和黑龙则被一股脑塞进皮箱里。

等待他们的将会是先被送到赞迪卡时空通过时间魔法增加体型和年龄,然后再浸泡到烁油之中改造成为纯粹的战争巨兽。

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.
