Broad World

Perhaps for the council of six, today is the darkest day since they came to power. Although there have been civilian riots in the history of Faerun, it is the first time that they have been besieged in the council building like this , especially as time passed, the shouts outside became louder and louder, and even some arrogant guys even shouted slogans to let them step down.

As the saying goes, whether it is tolerable or unbearable, the situation has developed to this point and it is no longer a problem that can be resolved through negotiations. As the supreme rulers of the entire Amn, they must show their strength and determination to everyone, otherwise let alone the south. Tethyr, just the restless civilians in the country can cause huge troubles.

We must know that as a country mixed with feudalism and parliamentary system, there are always huge and irreconcilable contradictions in Amn. The conflicts between them, the nobles and the peasants often break out conflicts due to various reasons, and they usually rely on prosperous trade and seemingly powerful force to mediate, but now...

Most of the entire shopping mall was basically destroyed by the rioting people. It is estimated that as soon as the situation calms down, a large number of businessmen will flee immediately. Don’t expect to receive much commercial tax in the next six months, so these conflicts will soon erupt one by one. , as long as she shows a little weakness at this moment, Amn will immediately be full of flames.

After another long silence, a congressman sighed helplessly and said: "It seems that we have to pay a price now in exchange for the support of Henry Angomey. I have two options here. One is to let him take Ace The land north of the Mill River was incorporated into the Kingdom of West Hartland, which was originally his territory anyway..."

Before he could finish his words, another councilor immediately stood up and patted the table and shouted: "No! This is the last granary in Amn, and it must not be ceded away. Otherwise, our food will be controlled by others, so even if it is just In name, it must also be guaranteed to belong to Amn."

"That's right, the northern region can no longer cede land, otherwise we will lose the natural barrier of the Yunwu Mountains."

Seeing that most people disagreed with this plan, the first congressman to speak nodded with a wry smile: "Well, then there is only the second one, which is overseas colonies. We will establish the latest The stronghold was given out as a gift, anyway, there are only more than 4,000 residents there now. The scale is not too large, and no minerals have been discovered for the time being, and the only profit is from planting tobacco and sugarcane."

"Damn it! That's a product from the New World! It can bring at least 300,000 gold coins every year! Whether it's sugar or tobacco, the supply will always be in short supply!" Another congressman cursed in a low voice, gnashing his teeth.

Everyone here is very clear that there are two pillars of Amn's economic prosperity. One is the old continent trade, that is, the two sea trade routes north to Waterdeep and south to Calimshan. The second is Maz. The colonial trade on the Turkic Continent, including tobacco, coffee, sugar, gold, silver, gemstones, etc., almost paid more than 60% of the tax.

Although the coastal countries have a colony or two in the New World. But none of them can compare with Amn, so Amn is the direct beneficiary of the New World trade, and now it has to share a part with others. Naturally, he couldn't go anywhere in his heart, and he was quite educated if he didn't directly yell.

However, some things don’t just happen if you don’t want to. After the six people who hold the highest power in the country looked at each other for a few minutes, the member in charge of the meeting gritted his teeth and said, “Old rules, let’s vote with a show of hands. Obey the majority. Now please raise your hand if you agree to cede the new colony of the Maztec Continent."

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

"Ceding a colony is much better than ceding the land north of the Esmer River, and I agree!"

"I object! Doesn't Henry Angomey really dare to invade Amn?"

"Don't be stubborn, he now has unrivaled power. If a large number of untouchables shout the slogan of letting him serve as the king of Amn, it will be equivalent to giving the other party an excuse for being fair and righteous. Therefore, we must not take risks. I Agree too!"

"Five votes were in favor and one vote was against. I declare that this resolution is formally passed, and the contact person will be sent to the messenger of Baldur's Gate immediately, no matter what method he uses. Get the Angomey family to sign an agreement as soon as possible." Finished speaking The congressman's expression changed suddenly, he slapped the table fiercely and roared loudly: "The next thing we're going to discuss is how to suppress those rioting untouchables outside! Should we disperse the incident, or use death to teach them a lesson? ?”

Perhaps the council of six is ​​terrified of a powerful legendary spellcaster, but they don't pay attention to a mere 10,000 to 20,000 civilians. After all, war is not simply a matter of quantity. Three thousand Amn elite soldiers are enough to suppress 50,000 ordinary people holding weapons. This is the confidence they can sit here.

"Let's disperse. If there are too many casualties, it is easy to exacerbate the turbulence of the situation. What we have to do now is to calm the situation down first. As for the so-called mutual aid association, it must be disbanded, and the organizers must be severely punished." A member of parliament took the lead in expressing his opinion .

Another congressman also nodded and echoed: "You are right. Restoring order is the top priority at the moment. We can't let these guys continue to make trouble. The Shadow Thief should also move, and let Renault Bloodhead track down The truth of this matter, no one involved can let it go."

"What about the lost goods? Those bastards outside ransacked 80% of the shops in the business district! We have to be tough this time, otherwise similar things will happen sooner or later. My suggestion is to kill! Let these bastards try their best!"

"I also agree to be tough. Let the army let go and do a big job. Anyway, the situation is already too bad. It can't be worse. It's better to take this opportunity to establish authority."

All of a sudden, the council was divided into two factions. One faction believed that the incident should be calmed down, while the other believed that it was ushered in a bloody suppression by means of thunder. Neither could convince the other.

At this moment of stalemate, there was a sudden burst of shouts outside the building, and it turned out that the limited half-hour time had come.

The civilians who didn't get a reply were extremely angry, and launched a violent charge from all directions, and immediately started fighting with the army guarding the entrance, killing more than a dozen people in just a few seconds. The blood and screams stimulated everyone's nerves, and the scene became more and more chaotic.

But none of them noticed that Lindell, the initiator of the demonstration, quietly opened a small bottle filled with pink gas. In one fell swoop, the formation set up by the elite soldiers of Amn was smashed to pieces, and each of them seemed to have become powerful warriors, and they were not afraid of any pain.

Seeing that the conflict had completely broken out, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. Showing a sinister smile, he took the opportunity to blend in with the crowd and ran towards Nesis' mansion.

"Come on! Get rid of these bastards! We want to take back everything that belongs to us!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill these vampires! They don't deserve to live!"

"Ah! I'm hurt! Someone help me!"

"Hand! My hand was cut off! Ahhh!!!"

...

With the melee in full swing, it didn't take long for blood and corpses to pile up in the garden in front of the council building. Anomen was stunned at first, and then covered his face and shouted in pain: "Oh my God! Heim is here Come on! What did I do! What did I do!!!!!!”

He couldn't believe how the promised demonstration turned into a riot?

In just a few minutes, Sir Piggy felt that the strength of the priest in his body began to weaken rapidly. Obviously, this represented the dissatisfaction of the gods he believed in with the chaotic situation in front of him.

As the guardian god, although Heim doesn't mind good and evil. However, the requirements for order are very strict, and organizing and launching riots is exactly the extreme behavior of disrupting order, so it is considered light not to completely lose the job of priest.

panic! confused! disappointment!

All kinds of negative emotions surged from the bottom of my heart in an instant. Soon, Anomen's mental state became extremely unstable. Perhaps a few words from someone at this moment can calm him down and reflect on where he is wrong. After all, young people make mistakes sometimes, and Delrin The influence of the family will definitely be able to make big and small things small in the end.

But it is a pity that this is a big melee, and the soldiers he trained are forming a formation to strangle with Amn's elite soldiers. People died every moment, and each of his subordinates who were unwilling to die made this young man with an overabundant sense of justice feel like a knife, thinking that all of this was his own responsibility.

As the saying goes, when a person's pressure exceeds the limit, he will often make some unimaginable actions. I saw Sir Pig suddenly roared, picked up the mace and shield and rushed straight into the battlefield. Smashed the heads of two of Amn's best soldiers. Immediately afterwards, he took the lead in charging towards the council building.

He has undergone strict training from the Knights of the Fierce Heart, so ordinary soldiers are not opponents at all. They were killed or injured all of a sudden, and a big hole was torn apart in the formation.

The rioting crowd saw that someone was so powerful, and hurriedly followed behind. Hula rushed into the council building, killing the officials inside.

If someone blesses arcane vision at this moment, they will be able to spot it immediately. The white light on Anomen's body, which symbolizes goodness and order, is gradually disappearing, replaced by a crimson light that symbolizes chaos and evil.

There is no doubt that he has completely degenerated, and he is even taking the initiative to move closer to evil. He kills people without mercy, even women. After a few minutes, he looks like a different person, exuding a chilling aura all the time The breath, even people from the Mutual Aid Association dare not approach easily.

Obviously, after a nervous breakdown, Anomen made a crazy decision. He wanted to help the Mutual Aid Society overthrow the entire ruling class in Amn, even if his hands were bloody.

The dark red plasma slowly slid down the shining armor. With a serious face, he took off the badge of the knight order on his chest and showed a sneer, then threw it directly on the ground full of corpses, saying goodbye to his past identity completely. Also discarded was the ring that symbolized Delrin's heir status.

A terrible storm is about to sweep across Amn...
