Chapter 248 reveals the hole cards
The three days passed quickly. The airship from Brovent was hidden behind a cliff less than ten kilometers from the city. As long as the Earl's Court gave the signal to attack, they could fall from the sky within ten minutes and deal a devastating blow to the enemy. You must know that there are a lot of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen canisters on the airship, as long as these two gases are thrown from the sky and then replenished with a fireball technique, I am afraid that no one will be spared except for a few archmages and legendary warriors.
Henry sat in his chair, his eyes fixed on the hourglass on the table. The fine sand flowed slowly down the narrow passage, and it didn't take long for all the sand above to flow to the other side. He abruptly stood up and faced Anta who was standing aside, already a little impatient. Duke Silver Shield said, "The time is up. Now let's get started. ”
"Ha Luha, I've been waiting for your words for a long time. Let's go, let's go and see the means of this shalovk. I hope he'll be ruthless, so I don't have to do it myself. "Anta. Silver Shield's face clenched into a fist with a hideous face.
"Relax, my good duke." Henry patted him on the shoulder with a smile. "Everything is under control, as long as we follow the plan step by step, the entire land of Baldur's Gate is waiting for us to divide it."
Duke Silver Shield nodded, and then gave a few words to the deputy beside him. The latter quickly left the Earl's Court and rode his fast horse in the direction of the Flame Fist headquarters. As agreed, Antar. Silvershield's private army was responsible for blocking the Flame Fist, while Henry was responsible for cleaning up the merchants, nobles, and Shaloferk and his men who were left at the festival.
After sending a magical message to the mage on the airship, Henry took Shantil, Robert, and the Duke of Silver Shield in a carriage to the majestic Duke's residence. Due to his strong influence, Shalovok chose to be the first to get rid of Duke Belt. Now the Duke of Baldur's Gate except for Anta. Silver shield. Only Lena remained. Jennas, that self-righteous woman.
After presenting the invitation. The group came directly to the luxurious venue. Shaloferk greeted everyone with a smile and gave everyone a hug. "Welcome to my coronation. Please come in. I have prepared delicious and good wines from all over the world. You're welcome, have fun. ”
"Thank you for your hospitality, I'm sure it will be the most enjoyable day I've had in years." As he spoke, Henry glanced meaningfully at Lena, who was smiling heartily. Jennas.
After a few casual polite words, several people came to a corner on the second floor and sat down. Henry looked at the nobles and big merchants below, and a grim smile appeared on his face. He knew that a third or more of these people down there were shapeshifters, and that as soon as Shalovok signaled an attack, it would immediately turn into purgatory.
As more and more people came, the hall was almost out of place. Henry noticed that Apodell and the others had also snuck into the venue. Now I hide in the servant's room and observe the situation outside. Shaloferk saw that everyone was almost there, so he said to Lina on the side. Jennas winked.
The duchess immediately stood up and knocked on the table and shouted, "Be quiet! Everyone, be still! Before the ceremony begins, I would like to say a few words. Baldur's Gate is currently in a special period, because in this short month, two dukes have been assassinated, all of them shadow thieves from Am. At this moment, it is with great sadness that I invite a new Duke to join us. He will fight for righteous revenge on behalf of Baldur's Gate, and give Am's bastards a little color. ”
"That's right! Give them some color and voila! ”
"War! Only war can give Amm a powerful riposte! ”
"But we are now in short supply of iron mines, how can we equip the army without iron?"
"I've heard that the Santarinkai were also involved in this incident. Is this true? ”
Looking at these messy aristocrats and merchants, Shalovok's face showed a look of disdain. A group of mortals who only know how to shout. It will soon become a fertilizer to nourish the divinity. He quietly glanced at Henry, who was sitting in the corner of the second floor, and the two cloaked guards beside him. In order to eradicate all threats without leaving any trouble, Henry specially brought all the Terminators and the Roll Golem.
Shalovok glanced at the shapeshifter leader hiding in the crowd, and his heart calmed down a little. He walked over to Lena. Jennas gave a kiss next to her, and then shouted to the audience, "Everyone, be quiet! First of all, I would like to explain the questions you raised. Rumors that Amm is preparing for war are true. Their accomplices, the Tallinn Society, were also involved in the destruction of iron mines. But don't worry, we're not defenseless. The Western Branch of the Iron Throne has enough iron ore in its warehouses, and I, as the leader, am willing to donate all of this ore to resist Am's aggression. ”
"Lie! I have here a copy of Shalovok's diary, detailing all the crimes of the Iron Throne. Not only does this guy want to start a war, but he also wants many innocent people to die. Finally, he's the son of a murder god, Baal! Unable to bear it, Apodell rushed out and dismantled Shalovok's mask in front of everyone.
Lena. Jennas's pupils immediately contracted when she heard the last sentence, and she quickly took several steps back. She looked with horror at Shalovok, the blessing prophesied by Toalando, and all believed that the Son of Baal was the source of the calamity. Just one sentence made all the nobles and merchants stay away from it.
Shaloferk glared at his "brother" with angry eyes. He really didn't expect that there would be a spoiler at such a critical moment. Just as the scene was at a stalemate, a huge airship came over the city. The commander of the operation this time was a knight in his forties named Corey. Originally a holy warrior who believed in Haim, he had excellent personal combat ability and extensive experience in commanding troops in battle.
However, during a battle to exterminate the undead, Corey lost the favor of the god of guard by secretly letting go of a vampire child. Although he has lost his special abilities as a paladin, he remains a formidable warrior and ruthless commander. Henry used some shady means to gain the knight's allegiance.
The mage on the airship quickly confirmed the location of the Duke's residence, several auxiliary airbags began to deflate, and the behemoth began to slowly descend. As he got closer and closer to his target, Corey instructed the soldiers behind him, "Prepare a two-gas canister at once, and throw it down as soon as you reach the designated location." We're going to have to clear all of our resistance before we land, and let's get the mages into battle as well. ”
"Yes! Sir. The soldier gave a military salute and quickly ran to the rear of the airship.
The hall of the Duke's Mansion was silent, and everyone was silently watching the progress of the situation. Shaloferk was fed up with the men looking at him like monsters, and he suddenly rushed over and grabbed Lena. Jennas's neck, and then shouted at the audience, "What are you waiting for! Kill everyone in this room for me! ”
With an order, countless people let out screams. They were amazed to find that the familiar people around them suddenly turned into monsters, and pulled out their own hearts with sharp claws. Shalophok kissed Lena hard. Jennas' lips, then smirked, "Thank you, my dear, for everything you've done for me. But for the sake of the future, please die. As he spoke, he began to exert force with both hands, and directly broke the Duchess's neck.
After tossing the body aside, Shalovak looked at Apodell with cold eyes. "My brother, I didn't expect you to develop the killing divinity to such an extent so quickly. But it's useless, because you're going to die at my hands soon. Look around, it's full of my people, you can't escape. ”
Henry glanced out the window at the airship that was throwing the gas tank down, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly to stand up and say to Shaloferk, "If I were you, I wouldn't be so confident." I advise you to run now, otherwise it may be too late for a while. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a fireball fell from the airship, hitting the unscrewed gas tank on the ground. The mixture of hydrogen and oxygen produced a terrifying explosion in an instant, not only were all the mercenaries at the door overturned, but even the duke's official residence vibrated violently.
Looking at the panicked shapeshifters below and the iron-faced Shalovk, Henry smiled and asked, "How?" It's not a bad firework. Don't worry, I've got a lot of more exciting shows in the back, so you can stay and enjoy it slowly. ”
"Why are you going against me? I don't seem to have offended you? Shalovok clenched his fists and asked aloud.
Henry glanced at the nobles and merchants who had been killed by the shapeshifters, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. "Shaloferk, do you dare to say you don't want to get rid of me? What's going on with these shapeshifters in front of you? Aren't they the clowns you invited to perform? ”
Seeing more and more soldiers slipping off the rope of the airship, Shalovok knew that he was over. He slammed Apodell into the air, then kicked a glass window and fled. Apodell immediately got up from the ground and shouted at Henry, "Let's go after Shalovok now, and I'll leave it to you!" After saying that, he rushed out of the city with his teammates and followed closely behind.
"It seems that our plan has succeeded. As long as the follow-up is taken care of, you can start carving up the land of Baldur's Gate. "Anta. Silver Shield said excitedly. He is finally free from the grip of parliament and businessmen and can truly hold power in the palm of his hand.
Henry glanced at the Terminator, who was slashing at the shapeshifters, and nodded with a smile. "That's right, in the future, in this land, only you and I will be the real rulers." (To be continued......)
