Chapter 243: Mobilizing the Army

Sitting in the chair in the study, Henry closed his eyes and began to go through all the plans from beginning to end, and after making sure that everything was correct, he took out a few notes and wrote down several orders for the mobilization of the army. Cast a spell on the table, only to see all the notes start to burn. Seconds later, the notes were in the hands of several of his designated people.

Hawke, who was far away at Bluvent City Hall, suddenly noticed that a note had appeared in his hand at some point. He hurriedly looked around and found that the lord's magic mark and seal were printed on it. This is an order for the movement of the army, requiring the city defense army to immediately send a thousand people to gather in front of the mage tower with standard equipment.

Hawke was not alone in receiving orders. Vaughan, who was training his barbarians in the barracks, Debra of the Mage Tower, and Mike, the leader of the Druid Order, received the same order. All the people did not dare to slack off, and immediately transferred the manpower. Soon a mixed legion of a thousand City Guards, four hundred barbarian hoplites, twenty official mages, and twenty-five full druids marched from all over the place to the Mage Tower.

Once everyone had arrived, a huge airship slowly rose from the crater. This is the latest generation of military airships designed by Henry himself, which not only has a multiplier load and speed, but is also more robust and durable. Even if you encounter a mad dragon in the sky, the magic attached to the airbag and skeleton will be enough to support it to land safely on the ground.

Hawke shook his head slightly as he watched the groups of soldiers step onto the airship with excitement. Although I don't know what's going on at the Gate of Baldur. However, a transfer like this must have happened to the army. If he remembered correctly, this was the first foreign military operation since the establishment of the territory.

Debra saw Hawke's concern and walked over with a smile to reveal a little information. "Nothing to worry about, everything is in the hands of the host. What you should be worried about right now: If there is a large area of land and population, how should it be managed? ”

"You mean. Will the Earl take advantage of the turmoil at Baldur's Gate? Hawke was taken aback and hurriedly asked.

A playful smile appeared on Debra's face. She waved at the mage who controlled the golem. Then he turned to Hawke and said, "I didn't say anything. Remember, it's better to rot these guesses in your stomach, otherwise...... You should know the consequences. ”

The female mage's words made Hawke break out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly pushed the guess out of his mind and forced himself not to think about it. Ten minutes later, the giant airship's auxiliary airbag began to inflate and slowly rose into the sky. Looking at the military airship heading in the direction of Baldur's Gate, the harpists and other powerful spies who remained in Bluvent City quickly passed the news out.

Due to the sudden dispatch of troops from Angome Island, the situation in the entire Jianwan area suddenly became tense. Except for a few limited allies. No one knew what Henry was up to. Now everyone is waiting on the sidelines, waiting for this powerful earl to take sides. Am's side had sent an envoy who was ready to privately give Henry some favors in exchange for his support. After all, Henry is not a Shalovok without roots. Behind him are Waterdeep and the Silver Moon Alliance, and if war breaks out, the Masked Mage Guild really won't necessarily be a match for the Goddess of Magic Electorate.

It was getting dark, and Anta. Silver Shield disguised himself and sneaked to the Earl's Court. Henry secretly met with his relative and ally in his study. The two talked all night, and the Duke of Silver Shield quietly left through the back door in the early hours of the next morning. Robert has completed his assassination plan and is now back in the city with the Terminator and the Dark Elf Assassins.

Watching the families on the list be wiped out with blood, Henry nodded with satisfaction. "It's a good job. I asked you to secretly investigate the union of Alatus and found out nothing. ”

"I discovered that several of his men have been infiltrated by the Iron Throne. And there is a secret door behind the union, which seems to lead deep underground. The most rear. My men also found this in a barrel. With that, Robert pulled a book out of his belt bag and placed it on the table.

After lighting the list with a magical flame, Henry picked up the book and saw the "Quick Action Manual" written in the lingua franca on the top row. Without hesitation, he immediately activated the magical energy above. A surge of energy poured into his body, and he instantly increased his agility a little. After using it, the book that was fine just now turned into dust.

"This book is very useful. Your main task now is to keep an eye on Apodell and his party, and help them as much as possible when they are in trouble. Also, keep an eye out for these people who enter the temple of Lady Luck, and send someone to bring them to me at once. ”

Robert bowed when he received the order, jumped from the window on the second floor and quickly disappeared into the early morning street. Henry briefly moved his somewhat stiff body, changed his appearance slightly, and came to the mage tower of La Maxis. The necromancer is standing in front of the Mage Tower to beckon passing adventurers, hoping that someone will retrieve a water elf from a man named Ricky Fast.

Henry, who was already familiar with the plot, took over the task and directly used the "teleportation technique" to come to the home of Richfast in the eastern part of the city. Using the second-level magic "percussion" to remove the lock on the door, he blessed himself with a few protective spells before pushing open the door and walking in. As soon as I entered the house, I heard a man's voice. "Now that I know you, I can't let you go. We are destined to be together, whether you understand it or not. ”

"Maybe it's fate, maybe it's not. I don't want to stay in this place, it's full of noisy crowds, not even a bit of nature. A soft voice replied.

Henry sighed slightly. It is clear that Ricky Fast has lost his mind. He wasn't the first mage to be bewitched by the beauty of the water demon, and he wouldn't be the last. Countless mages have spent a great deal of time capturing and currying favor with this beautiful creature in the hope of gaining their love, but the end result has always been tragic.

As nature's most beautiful creatures, these beautiful spirits, like the dryads, cannot go far from forests and lakes. Forcibly imprisoning them will only allow the water fairy's life force to pass slowly, and at the end of the day, it will dry up and die. As a druid, saving a water elf can lead to great natural grace, an opportunity that Henry certainly won't pass up.

He carefully stepped over the magic trap hidden under the floor, came behind Richffast, and knocked the sane mage unconscious with a single stick. The water elf was startled by the sudden attack, but the natural aura that was characteristic of the druids quickly calmed her down.

"Are you here to save me? Dear Guardians of Nature. The water fairy asked with some curiosity.

Henry pulled out his dagger and plunged it into the mage's neck to kill him completely, and nodded with a smile. "Of course, beautiful spirits of nature. You're free now, go home. ”

The water elf looked very happy, and she pointed to the Mithril collar around her neck and said, "Thank you so much." Please help me remove the forbidden collar from my neck, so that I can immediately regain my ability and return to the beautiful forest. ”

After carefully examining the forbidden demon collar, it took Heng more than ten minutes to unlock the magic lock on it. After removing the collar completely, the water elf walked up to Henry, gave him a grateful kiss and left a strand of magical hair, and happily opened a portal through it.

"It's a real bonus." Henry licked his lips with a slight distraction, and smiled self-deprecatingly. He was almost fascinated by the water goblin just now, but fortunately, the natural power of the druid helped him regain his senses.

After letting go of the water goblins, Henry received a great gift from nature. The experience points increased rapidly, and it didn't stop until about 50,000 points. Putting the water elf's head straight, he did a big sweep of Richfast's house. The mage's various alchemy tools, potions, and scrolls were swept away, and the simple elemental energy pool was also drained, and then stuffed into the dimensional bag and taken away.

Looking at the increase of more than 100,000 experience points, Henry left the house satisfied. This can later be given to Robert as a stronghold of thieves. Next he's going to clean up Ramasis, the necromancer's elemental pool must have stored a lot of energy, just in time to add some more experience points.

Back at the door of the Mage's Tower, Ramassis stared at Henry viciously and said in a gloomy voice, "I'm surprised! How dare you come back after betraying me?! You know, I have several spells waiting to use the water elf's organs, and it will take a long time to find another one. You have caused me to suffer delays and losses in vain. I'm going to make amends for your skin! ”

Henry nodded with a sneer. "What a coincidence, I think exactly like you. Why don't we find a mage duel somewhere there's no one? In this way, all grievances can be settled at once. ”

"Nice offer. I'll be waiting for you at the very top of the Mage Tower. Ramassis snorted, turned and pushed open the door to the Mage's Tower.

After watching this insidious necromancer disappear, a look of disdain appeared on Henry's face. This shameless guy actually wants to use the power of the mage tower against himself. He blessed himself with the fourth-level magic "Advanced Stealth Technique" and the third-level magic "Undetectable", and walked directly through the door.

Under the protection of two magics, ordinary see-through invisibility does not work at all. Henry went straight to the place where the energy of the Mage Tower was most concentrated, and soon found the elemental pool in the basement level. He unceremoniously put his hand stamped with the system mark, turned on the maximum power for energy extraction, and by the time Ramasis realized that something was wrong, the energy that had been accumulated for decades had been drained.
