"Good job. With the help of the Crystal Shard, we will be able to win this war with confidence. I really hope that Telamante and Ruivalan will not be too timid. It is best to let the City of Shadows return to the main plane in advance. Come and I can give them a big gift.”

Henry sneered and whispered while playing with the transparent crystal pillar in his hand. He really wanted to see what expression Shall, the Lost Lady, would make when countless monsters flooded into the City of Shades to wreak havoc, whether she would just send her avatar like a shrew to recover the situation, or keep it in her heart and wait for it later. Come back with revenge?

Of course, judging from Shar's behavior, it is more likely to choose the latter. After all, she is famous among the gods for her deep-mindedness. She rarely takes revenge directly, and prefers to hide in the dark and fan the flames.

"I don't think it is very likely that the City of Shadows will return to the main plane ahead of time..." The cold light in Kangus' eyes flickered away. "Judging from the records of the last period of Netheril, Telamante is undoubtedly a very cautious person, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as timid, otherwise he would not have conceived the whole Possibility of cities moving to the Plane of Shadow."

Henry nodded slightly: "Indeed, the supreme city lord Telamante is very careful and will never act rashly before completing the assessment of all the forces in the entire Faerun continent. But don't forget, his eldest son Ruivalan has the opposite personality , so although the possibility of returning to the main plane in advance is very small, it is not necessarily impossible."

As a voter of the Lost Lady, Rui Valan is so loyal to his goddess that he almost knelt on the ground and licked Shar's toes, so it is not surprising that he made any crazy moves, otherwise how could a normal person believe in a woman full of love? Goddess of Desire.

You must know that Shar's believers usually have an uncontrollable strong desire to destroy, and every church member must go through strict screening, and at least one evil action must be completed under the supervision of the pastor. Although not as crazy as Cyric, the Prince of Lies, they are not much better, and all of them can be classified as the category of the Three Views.

"Then what are you going to do? After so many years, the City of Shadows must have accumulated a large number of spellcasters, especially the shadow physique can greatly prolong lifespan. The mage group must be infinitely stronger than us, and the loss must be very heavy in a frontal conflict. "

Congus said what he was most worried about. Even if the Ring of Truth had so many liches, he couldn't guarantee that he could gain an advantage in magic confrontation. After all, Netheril's name was too loud. God knows how many terrifying technologies have been preserved in the City of Shadows.

Facing the demilich's worries, Henry not only didn't feel a headache, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, showing a malicious evil smile: "Don't worry, I have already thought of a countermeasure. You can give me the broken magic crystal now." Go recruit an army of monsters, at least one hundred thousand in number, and gather them in the valley to wait for orders."

"One hundred thousand?!" Kang Gusi's eye sockets burst into a dazzling cold light. "Aren't you going to..."

"That's right, I just want to throw all these monsters into the City of Shadows for crazy destruction. I hope that Telamante will not be mad at the time. Think about it, if this last remaining from the Netheril era What will happen if there are not enough residents in a floating city?" Speaking of which, the smile on Henry's face became wider.

"They will lose the most important cornerstone. It won't take long before they will begin to decline and eventually perish." Kang Gusi said the second half with a sneer.

What is the most important thing to support a civilization, especially a magic civilization?

Some scholars believe that they are genius spellcasters who have left their names in history. Some scholars also believe that it is an extremely important discovery and invention, such as the scroll of Netheril and the core of Mythra, and some scholars believe that it is people's attitude towards gods (most powerful magic civilizations are not good at gods). how to catch a cold), but they were all wrong ...

The progress and development of any civilization is inseparable from the most important point, that is to enrich the population resources, they are the creators of civilization.

There are not many residents in the city of ghosts, only a mere tens of thousands, and once they die, they will suffer heavy casualties. Then it will undoubtedly be paralyzed, and the supreme city lord Telamante has only two choices. One is to transform all of them into the form of undead creatures, turning the city of ghosts into a city of undead, and the other is to replenish new population from the outside.

However, he, who claims to be orthodox in Netheril, may find it hard to bear the second approach, so the possibility of choosing to become the city of the undead is mostly.

In this way, the City of Shadows has become the target of everyone on the main plane, at least the good and neutral Church of Gods will spare no effort to fight against it. Normal people would also not be willing to live with the undead.

"There is nothing more joyful than death raining down on the world. I am honored to be able to write the prologue of destruction myself. I hope the courage of the enemy will not be too disappointing."

After Congus finished speaking, he took the broken magic crystal and drifted away like a poet full of gloomy atmosphere. Although he was controlled by Henry's soul. But the evil in his nature has not disappeared, and he will be extra excited whenever he receives an order to massacre.

Because the soul is both a tonic for him. At the same time, it is also a rare alchemy material, and the demigod mummy that is being made recently needs a lot of consumption, so I am worried that there is no place to replenish it.

"Hehe, Rui Valan, I'd like to see how you deal with a hundred thousand rampant monsters in a state of madness." Henry looked at the departing demilich, narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

He has prepared a large amount of potions extracted from the mutated veterinary virus, which can strengthen the body by burning vitality, but the cost of using it is a bit high, not only will he completely lose his mind, but his whole body will fester and die in two or three hours. die.

Of course, as a one-time consumable for cannon fodder, the current level is enough. Anyway, their task is to destroy and kill, and whether they can survive depends on the specific race and physical fitness.

After laying out the plan for the City of Shadows, Henry visited his wife, who was just pregnant, and then went non-stop to the busy construction site outside the city.

As April is approaching, there is finally a hint of spring near Baldur's Gate. The ice on both sides of the Chongsa River has completely melted away, and new shoots have grown on the bare tree trunks. It is a joyous scene. .

As soon as I came to the construction site of the floating city. He immediately found that the number of workers seemed to be much smaller. Everyone looked like a city dweller, and the peasants were almost invisible.

An official in charge of supervising the quality of the project obviously recognized Henry, and quickly ran over and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, what can I do for you?"

"Why is the number of workers here so much less? Could it be that they are dissatisfied with their salary? Or is there some serious accident?" Henry asked, frowning unceremoniously.

Hearing this question, the official was stunned for a moment, and then immediately showed a dumbfounding expression: "No, not at all, our salary is definitely good. There have also been no major engineering accidents. The main reason for the decrease in workers is spring plowing. The time has come. Although most farmers have planted winter wheat, they still have to go home to take care of the fields, and then replant some vegetables and fruits. For them, this is one of the two busiest periods of the year One, so we all went home early to prepare.”

The official's explanation made Henry suddenly realize, and he couldn't help but smiled and patted his forehead: "So, I almost forgot about it. It's really normal for farmers to rush home to farm during the busy farming season. May the Goddess of the Earth bless you, this year is also a A good year."

"Please rest assured that there is plenty of snow in winter. A large number of pests have been frozen to death. Coupled with timely spring rains, we will surely have an unprecedented bumper harvest this year." A satisfied smile appeared on the official's face as he spoke.

"It seems that you are familiar with agriculture?" Henry asked curiously.

He couldn't believe that a person who was in charge of supervising and managing construction could still understand agriculture. You must know that in Faerun, a place where knowledge spreads relatively slowly, being proficient in two kinds of professional knowledge is already considered a good talent.

"Of course, Your Majesty. I was promoted because of my excellent management of agriculture last year. After the construction of this miraculous floating city is completed, I believe I can climb up again. Maybe becoming a nobleman in my lifetime is no longer just It was a dream." The official replied quite excitedly.

Since the Kingdom of West Hartland has just been established, the upper ruling class has not been fixed, so as long as they can show enough ability, they will be promoted immediately by Prime Minister Hawke. He doesn't care if they are descendants of nobles, so everyone Performing desperately.

"Then work hard, I hope you can become my vassal one day." Henry patted the official's shoulder encouragingly, and then headed towards the center of the floating city. After building most of the towers, go there.

Although this man in his thirties has been trying to express himself, he has forgotten the most important point, that is, the nobles in Faerun must not be without force. Big credit. Only by relying on political achievements to slowly climb up to death is a slightly senior official.

However, Henry did not say this directly, because people cannot live without hope. Even if it is so slim, as long as you don't give up on yourself, you can show 120% enthusiasm at work.

After more than two months of non-stop construction and the help of a large number of mages, the main body of the floating city has been built. As long as the control tower in the middle is completed, the energy transmission system and the magic lock can be started. The important part is also where a lot of precious materials need to be spent.

In order to ensure perfection, Henry even prepared to go bankrupt. He was not sure whether the family he had saved would last until the completion of the project. Maybe it was time to hold an auction and sell a lot of cultural relics in his hands. He had to find a wealthy dark elf city to "carry arms" for the last time. Anyway, he had already torn face with Rose, the spider goddess, and he was not too bad to offend again.

money! money! money!

Magic research, especially costly projects like Floating Void City, is too scary. Henry finally understands why the great arcanists of Netheril are so keen on expansion. Everything is based on money. Ability can't do anything well... (to be continued~^~)
