Broad World

Shar, the goddess of the night, is the god in charge of illusions, lies, deceit and secrets. The conspiracy she is carrying out cannot be known to outsiders, even if she uses prophecy magic for divination, not even Savras, the god of prophecy. After spying a little bit, all the other gods can do is to wait quietly, and doing anything else is useless.

The Lost Lady never tells anyone about her plan. She always uses a series of hints in a few words to let the believers act independently and achieve their own goals in a bunch of seemingly chaotic situations. I don't even know what the goddess did.

While Shar was busy scheming against Henry, Robert was having a secret meeting with Nesis in a private house in the Askatra Dock area of ​​the capital of Amn. He needed to understand the current situation, especially the real situation of the council forces in order to make a correct response.

The succubus who turned the whole city upside down smiled triumphantly and said, "Are you surprised? It took me only a month or so to bring this country into collapse! Look at the panic on the streets If you look at the temporary forts built by the mob, everything is my masterpiece, and only I am the most trustworthy servant of the master."

Obviously, this guy is demonstrating against the thief leader. In her eyes, all guys who are close to Henry are her competitors and enemies...

Robert felt that he was innocent, but he also knew that the seductive woman in front of him was actually a succubus, and it was not surprising that she was more jealous, so he smiled playfully: "You did really well, but please don't forget Now, all these are the master's pre-arranged tricks, you just detonated them in advance. Also, don't look at me with such hostile eyes, because your strength is far worse than mine!"

As soon as the words fell, the thief leader suddenly turned his eyes into golden dragons, and at the same time released the hidden divinity in his body, and the strong coercion suddenly dropped the air in the room to freezing point.

Nesis only felt that the human man sitting opposite him seemed to have turned into a wild beast, so he sat down on the ground in fright, and asked with a surprised face: "You...you...you also have the body of a dragon?!! "

"The body of the dragon?" Robert curled his lips in disdain, immediately pulled out the dagger at his waist, and cut off a corner of the table at an extremely fast speed. Immediately afterwards, an exquisite wood carving was carved at a speed that was indistinguishable to the naked eye, and it took less than ten seconds before and after.

He put the dagger back into the sheath, and threw the wooden carving to the succubus: "My power is not limited to the body of a dragon. Put away your little thoughts, and answer whatever I ask you, understand?"

"clear!"

Nesis nodded hastily, got up from the ground, and sat down on the chair again.

Although she already has the body of a blue dragon and all her innate abilities, she is still the succubus who bullies the weak and fears the hard, and hates frontal battles, and many of her bad habits have not changed at all. Once encountering a creature stronger than himself, he will immediately become honest.

Seeing the other party's attitude change so quickly, the corners of Robert's mouth twitched slightly. While flipping through the information in his hand, he asked in a low voice: "Let's talk about the power and plan that the Council of Six currently has in hand. When are they going to start to quell the separatists and riots in the city?"

"The number of soldiers is about 4,500, of which about 1,500 are the original Amn elite soldiers, and the other 3,000 are from Cremur and Pusu. Now the Council can only control the area around the Esmer River In the region, Esmir Taran, which is a little farther away, has begun to tend to be independent. In addition to soldiers, the temple of the guardian god Heim also expressed that they can send people to help at an appropriate time. They have about fifty temples Knights and twenty priests. No small force."

Speaking of this, Nesis flashed a sly look in his eyes, and then continued: "As far as I know, the Knights of the Fierce Heart have retreated to the headquarters of the temple area and completely sealed the gate. Due to the riots on the day Many knights participated in assisting the council to arrest the mob at the last moment. Fifteen members have already fallen. A fallen paladin leader named Anag in the bridge area accepted them, and even raised a banner to replace the knights. Location."

"What did you do?" Robert asked tentatively.

You must know that the fall of a paladin is no small matter. Every paladin is inspired by the power of goodness and has a firm belief in his heart. Even if he occasionally kills the wrong person or does something wrong, as long as his belief does not collapse, he will have the opportunity to do something against evil. dangerous mission. Finally returned to the alignment of good and lawful.

But once the faith crumbles, the paladin is completely corrupted. There is no possibility of recovery anymore, either turning into a dark guard who believes in evil and tyranny, or becoming an extremely dangerous anti-social element.

As a saying goes, the most terrifying darkness is often bred in the ultimate light.

In the history of Faerun Continent, it is not uncommon for fallen paladins to become minions of evil gods or demons.

The thief leader could almost imagine that the actions of those fallen paladins must have something to do with the succubus in front of him.

"Ha! You guessed it right, those paladins were all depraved by me, and Anag also stood up to fight the knights under my bewitchment. Now the two most threatening men in Amn Forces, the Knights of the Fierce Heart and the Masked Mage Guild all chose to be neutral due to internal problems. If you want to do something, now is the best time. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you Let’s see, this year’s overseas colony’s gold transport ship has been snatched, and I believe that in half a month at most, the six-member Council will not be able to pay their salaries.”

After finishing speaking, Nesis took out the file without saying a word, concentrated on trimming his nails, and hummed an unknown tune at the same time, looking relaxed and leisurely.

Robert didn't care about the attitude of the succubus, his brain was running fast, thinking about the gains and losses, and soon he opened his eyes and asked very seriously: "How long do you think it will take for the council to capture those temporary fortifications?" ?”

"I don't know much about the other places. Anyway, if you don't use engineering tools in the slums, I'm afraid you won't be able to take them down in three to five days. The mob leader completely remodeled the 30% wooden building that was originally built above the Copper Crown Hotel into a fortress." , and also purchased several ballistas, and thousands of people would never even try to climb it without dying." Nesis replied with a cruel smile.

In fact, the reconstruction blueprints there were completely made by her, in order to consume the power of the council as much as possible and create conditions for Anomen to fight back.

So far, the mobs in Askatla have built more than 20 forts, large and small. Although most of them are made of wood, they can definitely resist tenaciously for one to two weeks with the advantage of the terrain.

Of course, if the council is willing to use fire attack, it may be faster, but there is a saying that fire and water are ruthless, and there are so many wooden buildings in the city. Without waiting for Sir Pig's head to come back, the soldiers are likely to rebel on the spot, turn around and kill all the Council.

"According to what you said, if I choose to drag my legs behind my back now, then the Council will never be able to restore order to Askatla?"

Robert is obviously still a little undecided, because if he chooses to support the rioters, if the council wipes out the resistance forces in the city, there is no doubt that a thorough investigation will be carried out. At that time, they will not only find that someone is secretly supporting the rioters, but also Blood may be involved.

As the controller of a huge intelligence system, he believes that the risk of doing so is too great, and if it fails, it will lead to too many uncertainties. Unless it is foolproof, it must not be taken lightly.

Nesis was a little dissatisfied with the cautiousness of the thief leader, and mocked in a disdainful tone: "Why, are you scared? Don't worry, if someone can provide them with some magical aids, the Council will not win so easily. As long as they last two Zhou, they will soon fall into the dilemma of not being able to pay their salaries. I believe you should be very clear about the reaction when the army cannot pay their salaries, right?"

"Of course! They will complain at the beginning, then quickly accumulate dissatisfaction, and finally explode. If someone secretly contributes to the flames, they can even buy some of the officers, and the entire ruling class of Amn will be finished by then. "Robert directly spoke the second half of the sentence for the succubus.

Nesis stood up and slapped the table fiercely, shouting excitedly: "That's right! That's it! I don't understand why you are still hesitating! The destruction of Amn has entered the countdown! As long as you can add another Fire! Don't give the council of six people time to breathe. They have quite a strong influence on many towns. A protracted battle, this is not what the master wants to see."

After thinking about it for a few seconds, Robert finally made up his mind and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I will trust you this time. I will immediately mobilize the power of the guild to give some help to all the rioting civilians, and you will continue to win over those officers and try to get rid of them as soon as possible." Get things done here. Let’s stop here today, I have to go to the headquarters of the Shadow Thieves Guild to have a good talk with Bloodhead, and finally it’s time for a showdown.”

Although he has no plan to annex or eliminate the shadow thieves, in order to ensure the order of the underground world of Amn, the shadow thieves must be greatly weakened and then included in the periphery of the intelligence system, otherwise these guys can only choose to leave or be purged Lose.

Robert has personally commanded many guild wars, and he also has a large number of elites under his command, plus he can get a lot of magic support, so he is not afraid to go head-to-head with the shadow thief. Anyway, the senior traitor Bloodhead provides information, the shadow thief The guild's so-called secrecy and one-way connection are completely useless, as long as the action is fast enough, it can be solved in one pot.

After reaching a consensus, the two quickly left the house one after the other, and disappeared quietly into the chaotic streets... (to be continued ~^~)
