Broad World

Three days passed quickly. The airship that came from Blue Winter was hidden behind a cliff less than ten kilometers away from the city. As long as the Earl's Mansion sends out an attack signal, they can drop from the sky within ten minutes and deal a devastating blow to the enemy. You must know that the airship contains a lot of tanks of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. As long as these two gases are thrown from the sky and then a fireball is added, no one will be spared except for a few archmages and legendary fighters.

Henry sat on the chair, his eyes fixed on the hourglass on the table. The fine sand slowly flowed down the narrow channel, and it didn't take long for all the sand above to flow to the other side. He stood up abruptly and said to the impatient Duke Anta Silver Shield, "The time is up. Now let's act."

"Haha, I've been waiting for your words for a long time. Let's go, let's go and see what this Salovko does. I hope he will be more ruthless, so that I don't need to do it myself." Anta Yindun clenched his fists with a ferocious face.

"Relax, my good duke." Henry patted him on the shoulder with a smile on his face. "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 carve up."

The Duke of Silver Shield nodded, and then gave some instructions to the deputy beside him. The latter quickly left the earl's mansion and rode a fast horse towards the direction of the flame fist headquarters. According to the agreement, Anta Silver Shield's private army was responsible for blocking and capturing the Flame Fist, while Henry was responsible for cleaning up the remaining merchants, nobles, Salovek and his men at the ceremony.

After sending a magical message to the mage on the airship, Henry took Sandy, Robert, and the Duke of Silver Shield to the majestic Duke's mansion in a carriage. Due to his strong influence, Salovek chose to get rid of Duke Belt first this time. Now the Duke of Baldur's Gate is apart from Anta Silver Shield. Only that self-righteous woman Lena Janus was left.

After presenting the invitation. A group of people came directly to the luxurious venue. Sarevok came out laughing and gave everyone a hug. "Welcome to my coronation. Come in. I have prepared delicious food and wine from all over the world. Don't be shy, and have fun."

"Thank you for your hospitality. I believe this will be the happiest day I've ever had in these years." Henry said meaningfully and glanced at Lena Janus, who was laughing heartily.

After casually saying a few polite words, several people came to a corner on the second floor and sat down. Henry looked at the nobles and big businessmen below, with a grim smile on his face. He knew that one-third or more of the people below were shapeshifters, and as soon as Sarevok sent out an attack signal, this place would immediately turn into purgatory.

As more and more people came, there was almost no room in the hall. Henry noticed that Apodell and others also sneaked into the venue. Now hide in the servant's room and observe the situation outside. Seeing that almost everyone was there, Salovek winked at Lena Janus at the side.

The duchess immediately stood up and knocked on the table and shouted: "Be quiet! Everyone be quiet! 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 successively. The murderers are all shadow thieves from Amn. At this moment, I invite a new duke to join us with grief. Take a look at some color."

"That's right! Show them some color!"

"War! Only war can give Amn a powerful counterattack!"

"But we are in short supply of iron ore now, how can we equip the army without iron?"

"I heard the Zhentarim were involved in this incident. Is this true?"

Looking at these messy nobles and businessmen, Salovek showed a disdainful expression on his face. A group of mortals who only know how to shout. Immediately it will become the fertilizer that nourishes the divinity. He quietly glanced at Henry sitting in the corner on the second floor, and the two cloaked guards beside him with apprehensive eyes. In order to eradicate all threats without leaving any future troubles, Henry specially brought all the Terminator and Scroll Golem.

Salovek glanced at the leader of the doppelganger hiding in the crowd, and felt a little more at ease. He walked up to Lina Janus and kissed his hands, and then he said loudly to the audience: "Everyone, please be quiet! First, I will explain the questions raised by everyone. The rumors about Amn preparing for war are true. Their accomplice Zhentarim also participated in the destruction of iron mines. But don't worry, we have not lost our defenses. There are enough iron mines in the warehouse of the western branch of the Iron Throne. As the leader, I am willing to donate all these ores to resist Amn's aggression .”

"Lie! I have a Sarevok diary here, which records all the crimes of the Iron Throne in detail. This guy not only wants to start a war, but also wants many innocent people to die. Last but not least, he is the son of Baal, the god of murder!" Apodel, who couldn't bear it any longer, rushed out and unmasked Sarevok in front of everyone.

When Lina Janus heard the last sentence, her pupils constricted immediately, and she took several steps back quickly. She looked at Sarevok with fearful eyes. Thanks to Alando's prophecy, everyone believed that the son of Baal was the source of disaster. Just one sentence made all the nobles and businessmen stay away from him.

Sarevok glared at his "brother" angrily. He really didn't expect that there would be a spoiler at such a critical moment. Just when the scene was deadlocked, a huge airship came over the city. The combat commander this time is a knight named Corey in his forties. He was originally a paladin who believed in Heim, with excellent personal combat ability and rich experience in commanding troops.

However, in a battle to exterminate undead creatures, Corey lost the favor of the guardian god because he let go of a vampire child in private. Although he has lost his special abilities as a paladin, he remains a formidable fighter and ruthless commander. Henry gained the knight's allegiance through some shady means.

The mage on the airship quickly confirmed the location of the Duke's mansion, several auxiliary airbags began to deflate, and the behemoth began to descend slowly. As the distance to the target got closer, Corey told the soldiers behind him: "Prepare the tanks of the two gases immediately, and throw them down as soon as they reach the designated position. We must clear all the resistance forces before landing. In addition, let the mages also enter the fighting state."

"Obey! 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 followed the development of the situation silently. Salovek was fed up with these people looking at him like a monster. He suddenly rushed over and grabbed Lena Janus by the neck, and then shouted at the audience: "What are you waiting for! Kill everyone in this room!"

With an order, countless people screamed. They were surprised to find that the familiar people around them suddenly turned into monsters, and took out their own hearts with their sharp claws. Salovek kissed Lena Janus's lips fiercely, and then said with a smirk, "My dear, thank you for everything you have done for me. But for the sake of the future, I ask you to die." As he spoke, his hands began to exert force, and directly broke the Duchess's neck.

After throwing the corpse aside, Salovek looked at Apodel with cold eyes. "My brother, I didn't expect you to develop the killing divinity to such an extent so quickly. But these are useless, because you will die in my hands soon. Look around, there are my people everywhere here, you can't escape."

Henry glanced at the airship that was throwing down the gas tank outside the window, stood up with his mouth slightly upturned, and said to Sarevok, "If I were you, I wouldn't be so confident. I advise you to run now, otherwise it may be too late."

As soon as his words fell, a fireball fell from the airship and accurately hit the unscrewed gas storage tank on the ground. The gas mixed with 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 mansion was violently vibrated.

Looking at the panicked doppelganger and the livid-faced Sarevok below, Henry asked with a smile, "How is it? This beautiful fireworks is not bad. Don't worry, I have prepared many more exciting programs later, you can stay and enjoy them slowly."

"Why are you against me? I don't seem to have offended you?" Salovek clenched his fists and asked loudly.

Henry glanced at the nobles and businessmen who had been killed by the shapeshifter, and the corners of their mouths turned up slightly. "Salovko, dare you say you didn't want to get rid of me? Then what's going on with these shapeshifting monsters in front of you? Could they be clowns you specially invited to perform?"

Seeing more and more soldiers slipping down from the ropes of the airship, Sarevok knew he was doomed. Without hesitation, he knocked Apodel into the air, smashed a glass window and fled. Apodel immediately got up from the ground and yelled at Henry: "We are going to chase Sarevok now, and I will leave this place to you!" After speaking, he rushed out with his teammates and followed closely behind.

"It seems that our plan has succeeded. As long as the follow-up matters are handled properly, we can start to carve up the land of Baldur's Gate." Anta Silver Shield said excitedly. He finally got rid of the manipulation of the parliament and businessmen, and could truly hold power in his own hands.

Henry glanced at the Terminator who was slashing at the shapeshifter, and nodded with a smile. "That's right, in this land from now on, only you and I are the real rulers." (To be continued...)
