The fat man in the lead shuddered suddenly, hurriedly picked up the dagger that fell on the ground, and turned around quickly without even having time to pull up his pants.
As a result, I saw a figure covered in a cloak.
As the hood completely covered his face, his features could not be seen clearly. One could only judge from his beardless mouth and Adam's apple on his neck that he should be a very young man.
Of course, the reason why he was so nervous was because he had witnessed with his own eyes the tragic scenes of some people being killed by thieves or assassins who suddenly jumped out of the darkness while they were "doing things".
As a "lucky guy" who has been struggling in the streets and alleys of Ximen for many years, he has not been killed or caught and hanged yet.
This slightly fat guy knows very well that compared to resting and sleeping, people are actually the most vulnerable and defenseless when they are venting their desires and enjoying the pleasure brought by their physiological instincts.
Because at this time, primitive instinct will replace reason as the ruler of the body, and both the mental state and attention will be highly concentrated, thus ignoring other potential dangers around.
Intense exercise can cause people to waste a lot of energy without realizing it.
Therefore, thieves and assassins who are smart enough will often choose to attack when the target is engaged in intense activity with someone of the opposite or same sex.
The experienced ones would patiently wait until the opponent was about to vent his anger, and then insert the dagger or short sword into the heart or eyes at lightning speed.
So at this moment the fat man was very glad that the young man in front of him was an absolute "rookie".
Otherwise, when he started to enjoy the woman on the ground, he probably wouldn't have the reaction speed and vigilance he has now.
The other thugs didn't bother to continue pressing the Iron Princess' hands and feet, and they just hit her unprotected and fragile head several times in a row, trying to knock her unconscious.
Because they have extensive experience in street fighting and are skilled in dirty tricks, they might be killed by a fully armed fighter in a head-on battle.
But if the soldier is unarmed and without any protection, the situation is completely different.
After all, without the support of equipment, Yalusel's strength attribute is only sixteen points.
There is no way to crush these adult men whose strength attributes are generally between 12 and 13 points and who have also received some informal fighting training.
After all, in this magical land of Faerun, not everyone can be a gangster.
Especially the peripheral members recruited by the Thieves Guild, who often need to do tasks such as murder, arson, theft, intimidation, coercion and induction, and disposal of corpses. If they didn't have some skills, they would have died long ago.
However, these ruffians obviously underestimated the strong willpower that the Iron Princess had developed through war and battle.
Even though his scalp was bleeding from being hit by a stick and both arms were covered with bruises, Yalusel had no intention of stopping resisting.
She was seen shedding tears and revealing a ferocious look like a she-wolf. She frequently used her knees, elbows and other parts of her hands that could cause disability or even fatal blows. With a bang, she broke the ribs of one of the unlucky guys.
Then she grabbed the other person's hair and slammed him against the wall like a mad woman.
Bang! Bang! Bang! With just a few hits, the opponent's brow bone and nose bridge were completely shattered, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the wound, blocking his vision.
However, she was also stabbed in the thigh by a vicious guy with a dagger, and she looked extremely miserable, limping.
Even those Cormyrians who knew Yalusail would probably find it difficult to associate her with the proud and conceited Iron Princess.
But Zuo Si obviously admired the ruthlessness that the princess showed in the face of adversity, and had no intention of helping her. He just stood there and confronted the fat man holding a dagger.
Of course, this was not because he shared the same hobby of watching women fight as someone else, but simply because he felt that Yalusail was not as unbearable as Fuzol Chamberlain described. Instead, she had a very unique charm.
After all, Yalusel is only in his twenties.
Compared to most of her peers, she has participated in and won battles against the nomadic tribes in the Endless Wilds, and often led teams to clear out the monsters that were rampant in the Kingdom of Cormyr.
As a member of the royal family, her performance can definitely be described as qualified or even excellent.
The only problem is that both victory and honor were obtained too easily, so that he had never experienced any setbacks, let alone the experience of fighting with those truly strong people.
It is estimated that the most powerful person he has ever seen since he was born is his father, the legendary king - Assan IV.
So, based on her daily observations of her father's performance, the princess roughly estimated Fuzzol Chamberlain's strength, and then felt that she had a great chance of winning, so she decided to take a gamble.
Anyway, in her opinion, she was leading elite noble knights, and even if she found that she could not win, she could retreat calmly.
But Yalusel forgot that this time he was not facing a monster with extremely scarce spellcasters, nor was he facing a nomadic tribe that rushed out of the Endless Wilds and didn't even know what magic was (the Endless Wilds was a chaotic magic area, so there was no soil for arcane magic to survive and develop in the area).
The experience accumulated in previous battles was of no use at all against Zhentil Castle, which had a large number of mages, warlocks, and priests.
Therefore, the result of this defeat is somewhat similar to the fact that young people who have just graduated from school will inevitably suffer the beatings of society.
The difference is that young people generally do not have that much power, and accepting the beatings from society means at best a loss of some time, money and energy, with most of the consequences being borne by themselves and their parents.
Keya Lusail is a princess. Her previous amazing performance has made many people have high expectations of her, and she has also been given command of the army at this age.
As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the harder you fall.
When everyone from the king and nobles to the common people were optimistic about a young man and began to make additional investments, this young man suddenly suffered a disastrous defeat and all investors lost all their money. His ending was naturally self-evident.
Those knights, most of whom died in battle and a few of whom were captured, can be regarded as the investment made by the nobles of the Kingdom of Cormyr to Yalusel.
So how much these people loved her in the beginning, how much they hate her now.
Just as Zuo Si was watching with great interest the passionate brawl between the Iron Princess and the thugs, with blood staining their bodies and faces, the fat man in the lead finally became restless.
After all, no matter what, Yalusel has a total of ten warrior professional levels, and his physical attributes are not low. He is simply not comparable to ordinary people in terms of the ability to withstand damage and resist blows. Converted into game values, it is at least over 80 points.
The health points of civilians who have not received any training are probably within four or five points. The health points of hooligans who have been fighting for a long time are slightly higher, but will not exceed ten points.
This means that, as long as she was not completely locked up and unable to move, the princess was actually fully capable of exchanging her injuries for her life.
The reason why he was pinned to the ground and unable to move was mainly because the thugs were experienced in gang fights and they immediately pounced on him and used techniques such as wrestling and locking.
Don't underestimate this.
In particular, the unexpected hug and throw can not only make the target lose balance instantly, but also create opportunities for teammates.
But now, due to the continuous casualties, two or three thugs have been beaten unconscious, and the rest were frightened by Yalusel's ferocious madness.
Seeing that they were not getting any advantage but were about to lose, the fat man finally couldn't help but say, "Let us go! That woman is yours!"
"Haha, you don't seem to understand the situation yet, do you?"
Zuo Si raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a playful smile.
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the punishment and exile of the Iron Princess was intended to appease the anger of the domestic nobles.
But in his eyes, who was good at understanding people's hearts and human nature, it was a tragic card deliberately played by the royal family of Cormier to save Yalusel's life.
After all, overnight she suddenly turned from a high and mighty princess into a pariah who didn't even deserve a name, and was raped and insulted by dirty thugs. She could only pick up food from the garbage dump like a beggar. No matter how you looked at it, her life was extremely miserable.
From the perspective of the nobles, living like this is definitely ten thousand times more terrifying than death.
So after learning about Yalusel's situation, the flames of anger in their hearts quickly subsided, and they no longer clamored to hang her.
In addition, through this kind of punishment, Yalusel can also abandon her pride and arrogance in the process of struggling to survive, personally experience the hardships of the lowest level of society, and learn the knowledge and skills that she used to disdain.
Perhaps after ten or twenty years, people will gradually forget about him, and the royal family will be able to secretly recall him, change his name, and reintegrate him into the family in another way, becoming a capable assistant to the next generation of king.
The Cormyr royal family has had more than one precedent in this regard.
Bonita, the Purple Dragon Knight, a teammate in Abyss Journey, is a very typical example.
But the fat man obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. He immediately waved his dagger and cursed viciously: "Damn it! Stop talking nonsense in riddles that I can't understand! Just tell me the truth, okay or not? If not, then we will fight you right here!"
"Alas - haven't you realized it yet? The one who wants to kill you is not me, but that lady. She will never stop until you are all killed." Zuo Si reminded kindly.
"she?"
The fat man subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the situation in the alley out of the corner of his eye.
You won't know the result until you see it, and you'll be shocked when you see it.
Yalusel, who was pinned to the ground and unable to move by her subordinates half a minute ago and was almost raped by herself, is now like a bloody Valkyrie. She picked up the stick that fell on the ground and started hitting the crotch of some poor guy.
From the large blood-stained area on his crotch and the expression of foaming at the mouth and rolling eyes, it was not difficult to tell that he had long lost consciousness in the pain that exceeded his endurance limit.
I guess even if I'm lucky enough not to die, I'll never be able to pee standing up again in this life.
Such a tragic scene immediately made the fat man subconsciously clamp his legs together, and he couldn't help but feel a slight phantom pain.
But before this guy could recover from his shock, Yalusel chased the last two guys, waving the stick and dagger in his hands, and killed them with extremely brutal and bloodthirsty actions.
Maybe it was because of the psychological trauma she had from being nearly raped, but before killing the man, she would first beat his genitals to pieces, then cut off his ten fingers and dig out his eyelids and lips.
"You...don't come over here!"
The fat man finally realized at this moment what kind of person he had provoked, and he was so scared that he stepped back and tried to hide behind Zuo Si.
Unfortunately, he was kicked by Zuo Si while retreating, and staggered towards the Iron Princess.
Seeing this, Yalusel swung the hard and thick wooden stick and hit the opponent's lower body without pants and hit a home run.
BANG! "Aa ...
Accompanied by screams like pigs being slaughtered, a complete chaos ensued on the spot.
About half a minute later, the lustful guy breathed his last in violent convulsions.
After doing all this, Yalusel threw away the weapon in his hand, leaned against the wall and endured the pain on his body and asked: "Why did you come to help me?"
"Help you? I don't think I helped anything just now. You killed all these hooligans by yourself. It has nothing to do with me."
Zuo Si took off his hood and smiled meaningfully.
Since he had never changed his clothes or appearance, he was not surprised that the princess recognized him.
In other words, he never thought about concealing his identity.
"No! If you hadn't appeared, I would have been defiled by these disgusting bastards."
After saying this, Yalusel glanced at the corpses scattered on the ground, as well as the large bruises and scars on his body left by the battle, with a look full of disgust and hatred.
In particular, the several places that were scratched and stabbed by the dagger were still bleeding.
As for the only remaining underwear, it had become tattered in the struggle, and even the key parts were unable to be covered.
There is no doubt that this was the first time she had suffered such a serious injury since she was born. It was also the first time she stood naked in front of the opposite sex. A strong sense of shame and tension instantly surged into her heart, and she subconsciously covered her body with her arms.
"Just think of it as me trying to establish a good relationship with the Royal Family of Cormyr in this way."
Zuo Si undoubtedly noticed the psychological activities behind these subtle movements. An imperceptible amusement flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand and instantly released a healing spell. He walked closer and gently pressed the other person's collarbone near the chest.
The next second...
Amazing positive energy quickly surged into the body, healing wounds and bruises in just a few seconds.
Apart from some remaining bloodstains, it was no different from before.
"Thank you. But I have now been stripped of my status as a princess and a member of the royal family. I'm afraid your efforts will be in vain."
Yalusel lowered his head slightly to hide his strange reaction.
As the daughter of King Assan IV, Yalusel had obviously received divine treatment more than once, so she was no stranger to this power that could heal wounds in an instant.
In fact, she participated in so many battles and liked to lead the charge, so it was obviously unrealistic for her to remain completely uninjured.
The reason why she doesn't have any scars on her body and her skin and face always remain delicate and smooth is mainly due to the divine healing after the injury.
However, all the people who had treated Yalusel in the past were female priests, and this was the first time that she had been touched at close range by a strange male.
Coupled with the fact that I was almost raped just now, I had some inexplicable feelings that cannot be described in words.
"Haha, politics is very complicated. How do you know that all this is not a compromise that His Majesty Yasan IV had to make in order to appease the nobles in his country?"
As he spoke, Zuo Si took off his own magic cloak, which was obviously expensive, and put it on the other person.
This thoughtful gesture instantly moved Yalusel so much that he almost cried, and he quickly declined, "No, I'm dirty now, and I'll get blood all over your cloak."
"No, you are not dirty at all, but full of another kind of beauty, just like a rose stained with blood.
What's more, cleaning up bloodstains is a simple matter that can be easily done with magic.
Most importantly, I was not educated enough to be indifferent to the sight of a naked woman.
Of course, if it was the Dark Maiden Eilistraee and her followers, that would be another story."
Zuo Si had a faint smile on his face, fully displaying his politeness and demeanor.
If it were someone else, such as the so-called "young heroes" in the Kingdom of Cormyr, Yalusel would definitely laugh at their hypocrisy and pretentiousness without mercy.
Over the years, hundreds of suitors were humiliated and driven away by her one by one.
But now, the situation is completely different for Zuo Si, who holds the title of dual elector, has risen rapidly in just a few years, has just defeated Fuzor Chamberlain and the army of Zhentil Keep in the Battle of Baldur's Gate, and is about to be crowned the monarch of a vast empire.
This is the bonus brought by fame, identity, status and strength.
There are also many words and actions that some people can win praise for, but if it happens to another person, they may get merciless ridicule.
Although Yalusel had heard countless words of praise before, he still felt his face getting hot at this moment, as if something in his heart had awakened.
She had no experience in this area and soon fell for someone's sweet words, not realizing what was hidden behind it all.
After a while, the Iron Princess was arranged by Zuo Si to stay in an inn.
Not only did she take a shower, but she also changed into the tight-fitting long dress that she used to hate the most, and for the first time ever, she put on some light makeup.
While eating local specialties, the two chatted about their lives and adventures.
It was not until Yalusel began to feel a little tired and sleepy that he lay on the bed defenselessly and fell into a deep sleep.
But what she didn't know was that just as she fell asleep, Fu Zuoer Qian Borui slowly walked in from the door and teased in a slightly playful tone: "What a good trick!
He actually took advantage of the situation and easily captured the most promising Iron Princess of the Cormyr royal family.
I noticed that you seem to have a way with women.
Especially for young girls like this who are inexperienced in the world and have no emotional experience, it will be effortless to make them uncontrollably interested in you.
If you don't mind, could you please share your experience with me?"
Zuo Si stood at the head of the bed and gently smoothed the messy hair of the sleeping Yalusail. He smiled and replied, "This is what I have repeatedly emphasized before, the role of maintaining a good reputation.
When you are seen as a good person by outsiders, they will naturally lower their guard and even take the initiative to approach you and get to know you.
In this process, you can use a lot of language, action and psychological techniques, as well as some magic such as suggestion, to make it produce a kind of excitement and joy both physically and psychologically.
Over time, this positive feedback will turn into a strong sense of dependence.
In the end, a manipulated woman will fall madly in love with you regardless of everything and be willing to do anything for you, even giving up her life.
Otherwise, it would not be easy to conquer this wild horse that is full of pride and arrogance.
Please remember, my friend.
A tyrant does not necessarily have to be cruel and tyrannical, he can also be wise, intelligent, elegant and approachable.
But unfortunately, you will never be able to reach this level in your lifetime."
"Hahahaha! Those stupid Cormyr people should really listen to what you have to say. If you don't mind, could you tell me how you plan to use this princess who has lost everything?"
Fuzzol Chamberlain asked with interest.
“I will raise her first and make a decision after meeting Yasan IV.
I believe that this legendary king would not really abandon his daughter and do nothing about her.
If he really gave up on Yalusail completely, then I could get a female general with great potential and military talent for free.
What's more, no matter what, this princess has royal blood flowing in her body.
As long as there is a great turmoil or major change in the Kingdom of Cormyr, I can use her and her offspring to do something, or even help them seize the throne."
When saying this, Zuo Si did not hide his ambitions and intentions at all.
Although he no longer plans to expand eastward, it does not mean that he cannot support some closely related countries as a buffer.
Sembia, which is currently in the midst of civil unrest, has been basically confirmed as one of the targets, and Cormyr is the second.
If Zuo Si remembered correctly, this country would be in chaos within a few years.
The royal family's ancient enemies will use powerful magic to tear the country apart, orcs and goblins will gather unimaginable numbers to launch a full-scale invasion, and the red dragon Narafarosatoril will die on the battlefield with Azan IV.
Even the Crown Princess, Tairasta, who had the first right of succession, would be killed in this war, leaving behind only a newborn baby.
Eventually, large tracts of land in the north were occupied by goblins and orcs, and the nobles and the army also suffered heavy losses.
It can even be said that the entire Kingdom of Cormyr almost perished in this brutal war.
Therefore, Zuo Si only needs to wait patiently for the opportunity and send Yalusel back to turn the tide at the critical moment, so that he can indirectly control this ancient kingdom with a history of thousands of years.
As for the newborn baby and the future legitimate king, all it takes is a little accident to send him to another time and space, and the Iron Princess and her offspring will naturally inherit the throne.
"Interesting! I was wondering why you suddenly helped Cormier pay 300,000 gold coins for no reason.
It turned out that they had been targeted for a long time.
But as far as I know, this country attaches great importance to bloodline and heritage.
So if you really want to control it, the best way is to get the Iron Princess pregnant as soon as possible.
Only if her offspring bear your blood will the nobles and commoners of Cormyr accept your rule."
Fuzzol Chamberlain gave his advice directly.
Although he was very jealous and envious of Zuo Si's rapid expansion and the huge benefits brought by a good reputation.
But compared to the current Kingdom of Cormyr, which is fighting to the death with Zhentil Keep and Zhentarim, the Tyrant of the Moon Sea still prefers Cormyr controlled by Zosi.
At least the missionary activities of the Bane Church can proceed normally without being subjected to various kinds of suppression.
"Don't worry, I'll do it if I need it."
Zuo Si shrugged indifferently.
With the absorption of a large amount of life energy, his body had already matured ahead of time, and he had no pressure at all to reproduce offspring.
…
At the same time, far away in the court of the Kingdom of Cormyr.
King Asan IV was listening to the report from Kaladnai who had just returned using teleportation magic.
After five minutes, he couldn't help but ask, "You mean, not only did Sos accept the conditions I offered, but he also took the initiative to help pay the ransom?"
Karadnei nodded quickly and replied, “Yes, Your Majesty.
Three hundred thousand gold coins might be a huge number for us.
But for the other party who is about to be crowned as the monarch of the Amn Empire and also controls the huge organization of the Trade Alliance, it is almost a drop in the bucket.
If nothing unexpected happens, he should be trying to show his goodwill to us in this way.
In addition, I deprived Yaluselle of her surname, princess title and royal status in accordance with your orders, so as to ease the anger of the nobles by making her suffer humiliation and pain.
But Lord Soth seemed to have noticed something and rescued Yalusel when she was about to be violated. "
"What do you think his purpose is?"
Yasan IV continued to ask in an uncertain tone.
It can be seen that his mood at the moment is very complicated and nervous, so much so that his hands are clenched into fists.
On the one hand, he is the king of Cormyr and needs to unite the nobles to maintain his family's rule, and sometimes he has to suppress his emotions and make some cruel decisions;
On the other hand, he is also a father. When he learned that his daughter was almost raped by a group of thugs, the flames of anger instantly ignited in his heart, and he wished he could pick up his sword and kill the thugs immediately.
This contradiction caused Yasan IV so much torment that he hadn't slept well for many days and was always awakened by various nightmares.
Now, when he learned that Zuo Si had saved his daughter, he reacted in the same way.
As the king, he was worried that this was a conspiracy against the royal family, and that the other party was using this method to steal the bloodline of Obaiszir.
But as a father, he couldn't help but feel a little grateful to Zuo Si.
Kaladnai lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then quickly analyzed: "I personally think that Lord Soth is just showing you goodwill.
Because according to my understanding, first of all, he is not a lustful person. He can even be said to be quite clean and there has been no gossip about him from beginning to end.
Therefore, the idea of coveting Yalusel's beauty can basically be ignored.
In addition, he has made it clear that he wants to form an alliance with the Shane Empire in the south and marry the female heir designated by Shane VII to complete the merger of the two empires.
This meant that Yalusel's princess status and royal bloodline were also of no use to him.
Even if something really happened between the two of them, their offspring would only be illegitimate children.
Unless the royal family dies out, there is absolutely no chance."
"Father, I don't think you need to be suspicious anymore.
My sister has lost everything now, and it is a good thing for all of us that there is someone willing to stand up and protect her.
Whether it is for the purpose of maintaining the dignity of the royal family or giving an explanation to those angry nobles.
Once the ships bring back the bodies and revive those who can be resurrected, I think the situation will soon calm down."
The Crown Princess, Tainarastra, gave a serious advice.
Compared to Yalusail's plump, muscular figure and slightly heroic appearance, she is clearly closer to the traditional noble women of Cormyr.
Not only is she tall and slender with a sweet look, but she also gives people a gentle and considerate feeling. At first glance, she is a typical good wife and mother.
Moreover, the eldest princess is already married and is very much in love with her husband. In the eyes of outsiders, she is simply a perfect woman.
Countless citizens are looking forward to her giving birth to the next healthy male heir for the kingdom.
Of course, what is more commendable is that Tenalasta possesses political and statecraft talents that Yalucel can never achieve.
It was also thanks to her efforts in production and economic development at home that a heroic king like Yasan IV, who loved to fight wars and make great achievements, was prevented from completely emptying the national treasury.
In fact, when sending representatives to negotiate, Tenalasta had already prepared a ransom of 250,000 gold coins through various means.
But now that someone is willing to help pay for it, she decided to spend the money on other more important things first.
As for the debt and interest, as long as Cormyr's economy maintains good operation, it will all be paid off in less than two to three years.
Looking at his eldest daughter's face that was very similar to her mother's, a smile of relief appeared on Yasan IV's slightly tired and old face.
Just as he was about to say something, a guard suddenly rushed in from outside and reported in a very urgent tone: "Your Majesty! Your Highness the Princess! Something terrible has happened!
News just arrived! Our fortress in the Rocklands, Stonehold, has been breached!
The seriously wounded Baron Bran Swordsong of Rock was killed in the battle! Most of the 500 defenders were also killed in the battle to defend the city, and only less than 80 people escaped. "
"What? How did Stonehold fall? Where are the battlemages stationed there?"
Yasan Four Worlds stood up from the throne in an instant, emitting terrifying power from his entire body.
You have to know that the castles in the continent of Faerun are not the rubbish built with broken wood like those in medieval Europe. They are all built with hard rocks, and may even be reinforced with magic.
Therefore, it is truly possible for one man to block the passage of ten thousand.
Under normal circumstances, let alone a siege by several times the number of troops, even if they were dozens of times the number, it would be useless, and heavy catapults would not be of much use.
The only way to break through such a solid fortress is to rely on magical power.
There are always at least three to five battle wizards stationed in Dangerstone Castle, so it is not completely defenseless against the enemy's magical power.
At least a distress signal should have been sent out in advance.
"I'm... I'm sorry, Your Majesty. We haven't found those battle mages yet. But according to the description of the soldiers who escaped, they... they seem to have rebelled." The guard replied stutteringly.
But just one second later, the chief wizard, Vangerda Hester, immediately refuted: "This is impossible! Absolutely impossible! The battle wizards stationed at Dangerous Stone Castle were all selected by me personally. There is absolutely no problem with their loyalty. Those soldiers must have made a mistake."
"Father, I don't think now is the time to discuss these issues.
The top priority at the moment is to send troops immediately to block the invaders' route.
Otherwise, if they enter Cormyr's heartland and start looting and burning, we will suffer heavy losses."
At the critical moment, Princess Tainarasta was the calmest.
There is no other way! Anyone who has such a hot-blooded and belligerent father will be forced to learn to be calm.
"You're right! Gather the guards immediately. I will personally deal with these damn invaders."
Yasan IV grabbed the sword, his eyes flashing with a sharp cold light.
Compared to politics and governing the country, he is obviously more interested in war and killing.
Whether he is facing an army of nomads from the endless wilderness, or goblins, orcs and barbarian tribes, he will always keep his fighting spirit high.
However, the legendary king did not know that the fall of Stonehenge was not caused by the invaders he was familiar with, but the result of the joint efforts of Simamon and Kurremoth.
After completing their plan against the Harpers in the North, these two old bastards wanted to have some fun, so they set their sights on the Kingdom of Cormyr, which was in the midst of a political crisis.
As for the rebellious battle mages, they were forcibly subjected to mental control.
Now, inside this sturdy castle.
Ximamon and Kurremos were standing in the room that originally belonged to Baron Bran Swordsong of Rockland, staring at the map hanging on the wall and discussing how to make the trouble bigger.
"Do you think Yasan IV will lead the team personally this time?" Kurremos asked, touching his chin.
"Of course! From what I know about the King, he must be very angry and wants to vent it.
That's why I let those cannon fodders lead the way and attract his attention.
Especially after the loss of the Iron Princess, there are only a few lords in this country who are capable of leading the army to fight.
Yasan IV also desperately needs a victory to prove the royal family. "
Ximamon had obviously done in-depth research and investigation on the legendary king of Cormyr and had already understood his temper very well.
Kurremos nodded thoughtfully, "I see! So you deliberately let the goblins and orcs rush to the heart of Cormyr to attract them to intercept, and then sent the elite troops led by the ogre magician through the mountain paths and forests to the capital in the south.
It wouldn't take much, just a few hundred monsters to appear near the capital and destroy the farmland, barns and livestock there, and the turbulent situation in Cormyr would become unsettled.
Especially the nobles, after seeing the royal family's incompetence again and again, they will definitely become disloyal.
At that time, we only need to win over those completely disappointed nobles to form a powerful political force and begin to divide and disintegrate this country from within.
Ha ha ha ha!
The Millennium Kingdom of Cormyr is no more than this!"
Accompanied by a burst of unbridled laughter, an expression of great enjoyment appeared on the face of this filial dragon.
Subverting the Kingdom of Cormyr, which is seen as powerful, peaceful, prosperous and stable by the world through conspiracy and trickery will undoubtedly bring him unprecedented satisfaction, especially the sense of superiority that comes from crushing the opponent with his IQ.
"Don't be happy too soon. Don't forget that Cormyr is connected to the Vale. Elminster and the Harper Alliance he leads may intervene at any time."
The cautious Ximanmeng gave a reminder.
After all, this was not the first time he had caused trouble within the Kingdom of Cormyr, and he knew how difficult it was to overthrow the country.
Many times, when success seems imminent, a group of adventurers suddenly appear from nowhere and mess up the good situation.
Some were even more outrageous, where the person in charge was assassinated by a Harpist assassin in the heavily guarded camp and died on the spot.
In short, all actions against the Kingdom of Cormyr will ultimately fail due to various unexpected circumstances.
Therefore, Ximanmeng did not expect this sudden action to achieve any interim results.
He just wanted to take the opportunity to cause some damage to distract the attention of King Assan IV, and at the same time weaken the country's war potential, paving the way for Fuzol Chamberlain to unify the Moon Sea.
"Humph! Let them come if they have the guts. This time, I will give them a huge surprise."
As he spoke, a dazzling arcane light flashed in Kurremos's eyes.
As his spellcasting level and strength continued to improve, he felt that he had become powerful enough to compete with those veteran strongmen.
Especially the newly acquired [Arcane Follower] advanced profession, which successfully combines the abilities of the warlock and the mage, so that it is not restricted by the mage's spell slots and the few spells known by the warlock, allowing the two to transform into each other when needed.
This means that Kurremos is more flexible when engaging in spell duels.
Even a vampire lord and great wizard like Ximanmeng would be defeated by him after just a few rounds.
So Xiaozilong has been very arrogant recently, with his head full of all kinds of crazy conspiracies and ambitions...
