In the evening, in the private room on the top floor of the North Tower, Zhang Cheng is looking down on the city of chaos and desire through the only window.

It took a full minute before he turned around and asked the Moon Elves not far away, "So my army has arrived on the outskirts of Luskan?"

"Yes, master. You'd better find a way to get rid of their food as soon as possible, or the army will be starving in a few days. Valindra snapped back.

"Don't worry, I've got enough food ready for someone to bring it to him. ”

Recalling the picture of the fat businessman kneeling in front of him a few days ago and swearing allegiance, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and show a playful smile.

It was thanks to the great merchant's refuge that he was able to raise the food needed for an army of thousands without alarming anyone.

After all, Luskan itself is located below the Icewind Dale and the Ridge of the World, and belongs to the periphery of the Arctic Circle by the standards of the Earth, although it is not impossible to grow, but due to the short summer, the production is not very high, and it mainly relies on fishing, grazing and a small number of large farms to support its internal consumption.

This meant that locally produced food alone was simply not enough to feed the thousands of extra troops, and it needed to be purchased from Waterdeep and Winterfell, which were further south.

However, according to the current tense situation, let alone buying, even ships flying the Luskan flag approaching the opponent's coastline will be immediately greeted by all kinds of catapults and ballistas.

However, it is different if they are replaced by foreign merchants, they often have multiple flags, flying the flag of Luskan when entering the waters of Luskan, and flying the flag of Waterdeep when entering the waters of Waterdeep, even during the war, they can still move freely in this chaotic land.

Valindra nodded thoughtfully, "Understood, I'll get Chief Gar ready." I would venture to ask, when are you going to use them?"

"By the time Delta Gall is defeated, if I'm not mistaken, he with the Shattered Demon Crystal will probably have secretly gathered a lot of monsters in the forest, and it will be no surprise that he will attack Neverwinter in a week or so at most. Waterdeep will never watch its allies destroyed, and will soon choose to send troops to the rescue, so the battlefield that will really decide the outcome is in Neverwinter. Zhang Cheng said his next plan without thinking.

Because he knew too well the essence of Clincinibbon, a terrifying magical object created by seven powerful lichs through intricate magical rituals, fused with the endless desire for destruction of the bottomless abyss.

Therefore, the fate of each holder of the Shattered Crystal is not very good, either being killed by a dagger from behind, or becoming a stepping stone for heroes like Akar Kaisso.

That's why, even the most evil and chaotic gods are not interested in the Shattering Crystal, which only depletes the resources of an area through killing and destruction, and does not understand the importance of creating and maintaining balance.

Perhaps Delta was a powerful mage, but as soon as he began to be influenced and hinted at by Clincibbon, its tragic end was already doomed.

Whether it is the elect of the goddess of magic, or the high-ranking members of the Harpist League who have fought for the so-called "ideal" all their lives, they will definitely not let him go.

Although Zhang Cheng has never liked Clincippon with his independent mind and consciousness, this does not mean that he will give up using this powerful force to serve his own plans.

......

Meanwhile, far south, in the Council of Lords of Waterdeep, a fierce quarrel is underway.

"Oh my God! a whole hundred and fifty warships! more than two thousand!

"No, that's not the worst thing, the worst thing is that one of us has been captured by the enemy! Do you know what that means, it means that our true identity will be known by the enemy!" another woman, also wearing a mask, let out a roar of rage.

"I'm so sorry. But I would like to say that it is not our fault, it is that the enemy is too strong. Can you believe it? They can control a sea monster! And the so-called Lord of the North Tower is still a dragon! A terrible black dragon! The goddess of magic is on top! I've never seen a dragon so large, it's twice as big as an adult red dragon. The old mage who escaped alive explained with trembling all his body.

"Twice as big as an adult red dragon?!Damn!Could it be an ancient black dragon that has woken up from its slumber?and, what's the deal with controlling the sea monster?"

"Intelligence! We need more information!"

"What's the news from the Harpists League?"

......

Suddenly, the other dozen or so masked lords became nervous.

Whether the fleet was wiped out, or one of them became a prisoner of the enemy, it stimulated everyone's most sensitive nerves, and a few even clamored to send troops to level Luskan and give the Arcane Brotherhood a taste of the miscellaneous things.

Just as the venue began to become more and more noisy, the closed door was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged man with a serious expression walked in from the outside.

As soon as he appeared, the originally chaotic conference room suddenly fell into a dead silence.

The gray-haired and gray-bearded old mage didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly bent down and bowed deeply: "Master Kelburn!"

Obviously, it was none other than one of them, one of the patron saints of Waterdeep City and one of the supreme leaders of the Harpist Alliance, the chosen choice of the second generation of the goddess of magic, and the famous legendary mage of the Feren Continent - Kelburn · Black Rod" Arusan.

It is said that he has mastered almost all the magic in this world, especially the original "Black Rod" series of spells, which even the goddess of magic admires.

I saw that this powerful mage first glanced at everyone with a frown, and then said in a deep voice: "The Harpist Alliance agent has just sent the latest news! As allies, we must not sit idly by and watch the expansion of evil. Ladies and gentlemen, the war has begun, and it is better for you to put aside your prejudices and unite. ”

"Will the Tower of Order go to war?" asked the fat man who spoke at the beginning in a hurried tone.

"Yes, not only the Tower of Order, but also the Church of the God of Justice, the God of Guard, and the God of Dawn have also indicated that they will send a large number of priests and paladins to participate. The Shattered Shard is a dangerous artifact, and we must destroy it and its wielder. Kelburn answered in the affirmative in a blunt.

"So what are you waiting for! Let's declare war!"

"Yes! Order from the Council of Lords! Assemble the city guard!"

"This time, we are going to completely destroy the armed forces of Luskan!
