Of course, Hill will not directly attack Neverwinter.
He is from the good camp and abides by the rules very much. No one takes the initiative to provoke him. How could he make such a terrible decision?
Neverwinter City is not yet qualified to let him change his camp.
But the reason why Neverwinter seems important is because merchants going to Icewind Dale must hire adventurers in Neverwinter to pass through Luskan.
Thousands of high-level adventurers are one of the reasons why the city of Neverwinter is so prosperous... Otherwise, it would be impossible to be as prosperous as it is now just by relying on its skilled carpenters and craftsmen.
As for Tyr and Helm, it was because they had to fight Bane in Luskan that they attached so much importance to the temple in Neverwinter.
If the undead clear out Luskan...
The area of Luskan is the most suitable place to fight evil. When the elves used to resist the orcs, they actually established a defense line between Luskan and Neverwinter.
Only in this way can the orcs emerging from the Spine of the World be completely sealed.
In the past, Hill had stayed away from Luskan, not only because of Bane, but also because of Tempus, whom the barbarians of Icewind Dale believed in...
Although this god of battle is absolutely neutral and incomprehensible, his actions are actually very insidious...
He often secretly takes revenge on people or gods who have offended him.
The only exception is Bane...but anyone who knows what happened in the world of Ferenriel can understand.
The reason Hill is so cautious is not because he is afraid of Tempus, but because he is connected to too many gods. Even if it seems to be Hill's own will, it will make people suspect that the gods behind him want to fight with Tempus.
This is the enemy.
It's different now.
No matter which god it is, it is estimated that within ten years it will be unable to do anything other than send something into Toril.
Neverwinter has always prided itself on defending the entire continent of Faerûn against the pirates of Luskan and the orcs of the Spine of the World. Hill can free them from this arduous task.
After all...if we really encounter an army of Orcs that can destroy Neverwinter City, Neverwinter City will be in civil strife when it cannot resist. By the time someone suppresses the riot, the Orcs will have already swept away the villages and towns in the northern continent.
All empty.
The reason why no one thinks something is wrong with Neverwinter City is that all the original people in power are really dead... and the people who have been replaced are all adventurers, just like the current King of Neverwinter City.
But... Neverwinter still has some human families that have existed for hundreds or even thousands of years.
It was only 1,000 years ago that the elves abandoned the city of Neverwinter.
Regardless of whether his thoughts were too dark, Hill decided not to test Neverwinter's endurance.
He looked to the north...this winter, the orcs who are not blocked by Tempus and the Red Knight will definitely go down the mountain.
The number of undead who cannot use high-level magic is not necessarily greater than that of orcs, so they will definitely be able to kill enough time.
It just so happens that the nobles in Waterdeep City have to be given time to train new gangs.
Hill felt that his arrangements for the undead were very clear.
There is enough work this year. It is estimated that after Luskan, we will be able to welcome the orcs. As for next year, it is easy to say:
In the fall, go to Waterdeep to seek justice, and in the winter, go to Luskan to fight against the savage orcs.
In spring and summer, you can go to the Supreme Forest!
First, help some elves who choose to return to the Star Mountains to rebuild their homes...
According to Hill's understanding of Toril, when the elves' homes are almost completed, the Gate of Hell will probably be able to reconnect the boring Six Fingers.
Just keep fighting the devil.
The bottomless abyss can no longer send demons above legendary level, and the upper limit of Toril's original power is not that high.
The legendary demon's first reaction when he came in was probably to explode again.
Although Liuzhi has many subordinates, he probably won't waste any more time connecting to this door and will probably choose to cherish it.
Toril is actually much more troublesome now than in the past, and is very good at dying together.
However, the world recovered quickly, but the demons that were destroyed by the power of the source were really dead, and their souls did not even have a chance to return to the abyss and be reborn.
So the other side of the abyss will definitely be very cautious and only send some cannon fodder demons over to test.
We are rookies versus rookies. One side has more numbers, while the other side will not die. It is just an even match.
After Hill decided on the future arrangements, he directly ordered Liszt to discuss with Lin En. He believed that his friend would understand why he would take action against Neverwinter City.
Economic warfare has always been Hill's forte, and Lynn can understand it at a glance.
Although the reaction of cutting meat with a soft knife is a little slower, it is useful as long as it is effective.
Lynn would not refuse Hill to do this. Although he has a broad mind, he has never been a saint who cannot fight back.
The people in Neverwinter must have started a quarrel directly in the city hall, and Princess Asbery must have been directly threatened.
Threatening his own princess in Lin En's territory to please Lin En?
Although it sounds like he is trying to please Lynn, who in his right mind is willing to accept a woman who is threatened?
In fact, he just didn't look down on Linn, thinking that he would endure these discomforts for the sake of power because he was attached to Hill.
Hill was very dissatisfied.
Without the blessing of the gods, some of the bard's skills cannot be used, and Lin En's physical strength has dropped a lot.
But this does not mean that these losers who can't even take a few swords from Lin En can openly despise Lin En!
Do you really think that half-elves don’t practice swordsmanship? Lin En learned from a demigod who was directly taught by Corellon since childhood!
As expected, Linn had no reaction to Hill's hidden murderous arrangements. He just redesigned the undead adventure mission according to Hill's ideas and improved it a bit.
He assured Hill that when the time came, there would be no need for Hill to issue a mission to attack Luskan, so that the pirates could directly confront the undead.
Linn knew very well which gang in Waterdeep City was responsible for selling stolen goods to the Luskan pirates, and it was too easy to get the undead to conflict with them.
No matter how strict the gangsters gave their thugs after seeing the arrival of the undead, they had become accustomed to the gangster habit of beating, smashing, robbing and bullying the poor, and they simply couldn't control it.
Gangs usually deliberately amplify the habits of these low-level gang members to do evil things. This is their method of controlling these people. Only if they are all criminals can they listen to them honestly instead of running away immediately when something happens.
In this case, different arrangements can indeed be made for Neverwinter's response.
This method is indeed more suitable than Hill's idea. If Neverwinter City chooses to be honest, it will not appear as aggressive as Hill and Aglaia City.
But if things continue to happen in Neverwinter City... If the pirates in Luskan hadn't blocked the road to collect tolls, and the bandits who had to do part-time robberies on a daily basis, there wouldn't have been the path around Neverwinter City.
Prosper and develop.
Experienced merchants will basically choose to bypass Luskan when they come out of Icewind Dale.
Only newcomers who think they are capable will take the high road with arrogance.
In fact, Luskan mainly preys on these people. Unless there is not enough food, or something is very useful to Luskan, these pirates will not offend merchants from the entire continent for that little money.
In the world of Toril, everyone has always been clear-cut, otherwise pirates would not be so rampant.
Things will be different once Luskan is in Ciel's hands.
Linn was convinced that as long as it was built into a place similar to the town of Aglaia, one-third of Neverwinter City's financial revenue could be cut off.
This is really great... Hill feels that he should consider how to transform the place now, and who should be more suitable to manage it.
Hill, who left the matter to a capable city councilor, finally received the money to redeem the dragon... the dragon.
It was a Topaz Dragon Lich. From his pressure, Hill could feel that it was an extremely old dragon.
There are still many topaz-colored gemstone scales on his body that belong to his species, indicating that he became a dracolich for a short time... It should be those dragons who were persuaded by the Dragon Cult to change their forms during the Dragon Madness in order not to be affected.
one.
He behaved very politely, spreading his wings and slowly flying and rotating over the city of Aglaia. Hill recognized that it was the gesture of the dragon intending to come to visit.
So she sat directly on Purvi's back and flew into the sky to meet him.
"Hello. Dear Lord Aglaia." The Topaz Dragon Lich turned into a human form and landed briskly on the terrace on Purvi's back. "I am Elshara who lives north of Luskan.
It's a pity that I came to visit you in this name. I came to pay the ransom for Claudelia Mata.
For the Dragon Worship Cult...she cannot be locked up forever."
"I have long admired you, Mr. Elsala." Hill replied in a friendly manner, "As long as the price is right, of course I will let her go.
But the price for offending me...is not light."
Elsela simply piled a hill on the terrace: "The Dragon Cult is now basically controlled by the Dracolich. We still follow our past habits. If something goes wrong, every dragon involved will come up with something.
A treasure, otherwise, as long as one dragon does not contribute money, it will become a situation where no one can contribute.
Therefore, the dragon’s alliance either has no money or a lot of money.”
Hill knew very well why this gem dragon came... Although he had no choice but to turn into a dracolich, in addition to avoiding the influence of Dragon Madness, his main purpose was to deal with the evil White Dragon Queen El in the north.
Via Tullais.
If Hill captures Luskan, he will soon face the White Dragon Queen who often comes to rob her, and Elshara is a natural ally.
The hatred between the two will never be cleared away. When Hill was studying the dragons in the North, he saw the results of dozens of battles between the two, with both sides suffering heavy losses.
However, to the cold-blooded Bai Long, it doesn't matter how many descendants or subordinates he dies, but to the more emotional Huang Yulong, almost every loss is a heavy blow.
That's why Elsala finally risked becoming a madman and accepted the temptation of the Dragon Worship Cult during the Dragon Madness period.
