Chapter 935: Pulling the Hind Legs

The goddess of the night, Shar, is a god of illusions, lies, deception, and secrets, and her conspiracy is unknowable to outsiders, not even if she uses prophecy magic for divination, not even Safras, the god of prophecy, can spy on it, and all the other gods can do is wait quietly, and nothing else is useless.

The Lost Lady's plan is never told to anyone, and she always uses a series of subtle hints to make the believers act separately and achieve their own goals in a seemingly chaotic situation, and sometimes many people and the gods do not know what the goddess has done afterwards.

While Shar was busy calculating Henry, Robert was in a private meeting with Naxis in a private house in the dock district of Ascalla, the capital of Am, and he needed to understand the current situation, especially the real strength of the council, so that he could make the right response.

The succubus, who turned the whole city upside down, said with a smug smile: "Aren't you surprised? It only took me a month or so to plunge the country into collapse! Look at the panicked civilians in the streets, and then look at the makeshift fortresses built by the mob, all of them are my masterpieces, and I am the most trustworthy servant of my master. โ€

Obviously, this guy was demonstrating to the head of the thieves, and in her eyes, everyone who was close to Henry was her rival and enemy......

Robert felt that he was very innocent, but he also knew that the bewitching woman in front of him was actually a succubus, and it was not surprising that he was jealous, so he smiled playfully: "You are indeed doing a good job." But don't forget. This qiฤ“ is a game laid out by the master in advance. You're just detonating them early. Also, don't look at me with such hostile eyes, because your strength is far worse than mine! โ€

As soon as the words fell, the leader of the thieves suddenly turned his eyes into the appearance of a golden dragon, and at the same time released the hidden divinity in his body, and the strong coercion suddenly caused the air in the room to drop to freezing.

Nexis only felt that the human man sitting opposite him seemed to have turned into a wild beast, and he was so frightened that he sat directly on the ground, and asked with a surprised face: "...... You...... You also have the body of a dragon?!! โ€

"The body of a dragon?" Robert pursed his lips disdainfully. He immediately pulled out the dagger at his waist, cut off a corner of the table with great speed, and then carved a beautiful wood carving 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 its sheath and threw the wooden carving to the succubus: "My power is more than the body of a dragon. Put away your little thoughts, you can answer whatever I ask, understand? โ€

"Understood!"

Nesses nodded hurriedly, got up from the ground, and sat back in his chair.

Although he already has the body of a blue dragon and all his innate abilities, from the bones. She is still the succubus who bullies the weak and fears the hard, and hates frontal combat, and many of her inferior roots have not changed at all. Once you encounter a creature that is stronger than yourself, you will immediately become honest.

Seeing that the other party's attitude changed so quickly, the corners of Robert's mouth twitched slightly, and while looking at the information in his hand, he asked in a low voice: "Let's talk about the power and plan that the Council of Six has at hand now, when do they plan to start quelling the division and riots in the city?" โ€

"There were about four thousand five hundred soldiers, of whom about 1,500 were the original Am's elite soldiers, and the other three thousand were from Cremur and Psu. At present, the Council can only control the area around the Esmir River, and a little farther away Esmirtaran has begun to have a tendency to become independent. In addition to the soldiers, the temple of Heim, the god of guards, also stated that it could send people to help at the right time. They numbered about fifty Templars and twenty priests, and they were a significant force. โ€

Speaking of this, a hint of cunning flashed in Nehis's eyes, and he continued: "As far as I know, the Knights of the Heath have now curled up back to the headquarters of the Temple District, completely sealing the gates. As many knights participated in the last minute to assist the Council in arresting the mob on the day of the riot, fifteen members had already fallen, and a fallen paladin leader named Anag in the Bridge District accepted them, and raised a flag to take the place of the Knights. โ€

"What did you do?" Robert asked tentatively.

You must know that the fall of the holy warrior is not a trivial matter, every holy warrior is inspired by the power of the supreme good, and has a firm belief in his heart, even if he occasionally kills the wrong person or does the wrong thing, as long as the faith does not collapse, then there is a chance to do some dangerous tasks against evil, and finally return to the camp of good and order.

But once faith is broken, the Paladin is completely degenerate, and there is no hope of recovery, either turning into a dark guardian who believes in evil and tyranny, or becoming an extremely dangerous sociopath.

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

In the history of the Faeron Continent, it is not uncommon for fallen holy warriors to become evil gods or demonic minions, and the damage caused is even more appalling, and the slaughter of cities and exterminations is commonplace.

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

"Hah! You guessed it right, those paladins were all degraded by my temptation, and Anag also stood up to fight the knights under my temptation. Now that Am's two most threatening forces, the Knights of the Heathot Heart and the Masked Mage's Guild, have chosen to be neutral due to internal issues, there's never been a better time to do something about it. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I want to mention to you, this year's gold ships in the overseas colonies have been robbed, and I believe that in half a month at most, the six-member council will not be able to pay salaries. โ€

After speaking, Nesses took out his file without saying a word, and concentrated on repairing his nails, while humming an unknown tune in his mouth, and the whole person seemed relaxed and leisurely.

Robert didn't care about the succubus's attitude, his brain was running fast, thinking about the gains and losses, and soon he stared at his two eyes and asked very sternly: "How long do you think it will take for the Council to capture those makeshift fortifications?" โ€

"I don't know much about other places, anyway, if engineering equipment is not used in the slums, I am afraid that it will not be able to be destroyed in three or five days. The leader of the mob completely transformed the three-percent wooden building that had been built above the Bronze Crown Inn into a fortress, and also purchased several ballistas, so that thousands of people would not even want to climb it. Naysis replied with a cruel smile.

In fact, the drawings for the alterations there were entirely by her, in order to drain as much power as possible from the Council and create conditions for the return of the Arnomen.

So far, the mob throughout Ascatra has built more than twenty forts, large and small, and although most of them are wooden, with the advantage of the terrain, they are definitely able to resist stubbornly for a week or two.

Of course, if the Council is willing to use fire, it may be faster, but there is a good saying, water and fire are ruthless, there are so many wooden buildings in the city, if one of them is not good, Ascatra will directly burn the ruins of the city, and then there will be no need to wait for Sir Pig's Head to fight back, and the soldiers will probably defect on the spot, turn around and kill all the council.

"According to you, if I choose to pull back my back now, then the Council will never be able to restore order to Askatla?"

Robert was obviously a little undecided, for if he had chosen to support the rioters, and if the Council had cleared the city of resistance, there would have been no doubt that a thorough inventory would have to be conducted, at which point they would not only find that there were people secretly supporting the rioters, but that they might also be implicated.

As the controller of a huge intelligence system, he believes that this is too risky, and that failure will lead to too many uncertainties, and unless it is foolproof, he must not act lightly.

Nesses was a little dissatisfied with the caution of the leader of the thieves, and mocked in a disdainful tone: "Why, are you afraid? Rest assured, if someone can give them some magical assistance, the Council won't be able to win so easily. As long as they survive two weeks, they will soon be in a situation where they will not be paid. I believe you should know very well what the reaction will be when the army cannot pay salaries, right? โ€

"Of course! They will complain at first, then quickly accumulate dissatisfaction, and finally explode. If someone were to help the flames in the shadows, or even buy off some of the officers, the entire ruling class of Amm would be doomed. Robert said the second half of the sentence directly for the succubus.

Naiss stood up and slapped the table hard, shouting excitedly, "That's right! That's it! I don't understand what you're hesitating about! Am's ruined miรจ has entered the countdown! As long as you can add another fire! Don't give the Council of Six a breather, they have a lot of influence in many towns, and once the roads are restored, all kinds of supplies will be transported in a steady stream, and then it is likely to turn into a protracted war, which is not a situation that the master wants to see. โ€

After thinking about it for a few seconds, Robert finally made up his mind and nodded vigorously: "Okay, just trust you this time." I'll immediately mobilize the guild's forces to give some help to all the rioting civilians, and you'll continue to win over those officers and try to get things done here. That's all for today, I still have to go to the Shadow Thieves Guild headquarters to have a good talk with the bloodhead, and finally it's time for a showdown. โ€

Although he has no plans to annex or eliminate the Shadow Thieves, in order to ensure order in Am's underworld, the Shadow Thieves must be greatly weakened and then incorporated into the periphery of the intelligence system, otherwise these creatures will have to choose to leave or be purged.

Robert has personally commanded many guild wars, and at the same time, he also has a large number of elites under him, plus he can get a lot of spell support, so he is not afraid of going head-to-head with the shadow thief at all, anyway, with the high-level traitor of the blood head to provide information, the so-called secret and single-line contact of the shadow thief guild is completely useless, as long as the action is fast enough, it can be completely ended.

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