Although the country of Calimshan has always been very powerful, the real number of citizens may only be a few hundred thousand... but there are more than a few million slaves.
This is also the reason why this country completely collapsed directly in front of a powerful enemy.
For those slaves, the Calishans are not a good thing. Instead, they are more willing to serve the gods and monsters... The gods and monsters don't care what bloodline the people working for them are, anyway, they are all slaves to them.
But what the gods and monsters casually threw to the slaves was something these slaves had never dreamed of before... the abilities of professionals.
If the Calishans thought that life was worse than death, their slaves thought it was wonderful... after all, that was how they lived before.
The Calishans are famous throughout Faerûn for their harsh cruelty towards slaves.
So there must be something wrong with the tens of thousands of refugees who appeared outside Mir Forest in just a few days. Of course, the problem does not lie with the refugees themselves. Most of them just want to escape the fate of becoming slaves... Seeing the tall people outside the forest The city wall, as long as there is any courage, people will try to escape.
After all, gods and monsters don't use city walls to restrain themselves.
But it is unusual for them to be able to pass through the blockade of gods and monsters... Before the undead came to Mir Forest, there were only a few hundred Calimshan people who escaped here. At that time, the number of gods and monsters that otherwise blocked the way was only in the hundreds.
Their strength is enough to kill most people who dare to resist.
The most important thing is that the Great Wall of the Undead has been built for several days, but the two gods and monsters have never rushed to attack... The attack on the Great Wall on Mount Alamir is the normal reaction of the gods and monsters, and they will only react if they die too much. Choose to ignore it rather than give up in the first place.
In this situation, it is possible that the gods and monsters want to use these Calishans to bring down the Goblin Queen's food storage, and send some spies along the way.
Even if there are those little gods and monsters transformed from humans under their control, these elemental djinn behave too calmly... Normally, the god and monster who proposes to use conspiracies and tricks to bring down the goblins and elves who dare to openly declare to be their enemies should He will be directly beaten to death by his own people.
The elemental djinn are fearless! It is their normal behavior to dare to attack even the gods.
Although it is rare for the gods and monsters to use a strategy...but this kind of strategy is a bit too petty and full of the imagination of a poor man.
It was probably the trick that the prince of the smoke element came up with... Hill was a little suspicious that Ekaq was indeed the child of the fire element and the air element. He could so easily make these two monsters listen to him at the same time. Kalin and Manon It is possible that I chose to open up some power to him.
Thinking of this, Hill couldn't help but ask: "The descendants of the elemental giants are all separated by themselves, right? When they fight, will they also give birth to common heirs?"
After saying that, he felt a little regretful... Fighting with the complementary power of the same source, the two who gave birth to the most descendants were the two around him... Not only the Mystra, war, disease, murder, death and other gods also appeared like this. of.
Selune didn't feel anything at all. She didn't like the gods who appeared because of the fight between their sisters... Except for Mystra who stood firmly behind her, the gods all chose neutrality between her and Shar. After her birth,
Just ran away.
Shar doesn't mind too much. In her heart, as long as she succeeds in destroying the world, these gods will eventually return to chaos and are not worth mentioning at all.
She just pondered and said: "It would be normal if Ekak was the smoke element born during the tens of thousands of years of fighting between Kalin and Manon.
Although the relationship between the Fire Elemental Duke and the Air Elemental Duke in the Elemental Realm is not good, few fight from the Elemental Realm to the Material Realm like they did, and they refuse to go back until the winner is decided.
Then some things are understandable... No wonder there are fire monsters and air monsters who choose to live together in that small smoke elemental plane... He has the origins of these two elemental princes who are closest to gods."
So Kalin and Manon decided that this time they must decide the winner while the gods have no time to care?
So just let Ekak handle the followers who are following them?
After all, you have to return to the elemental world in the end, whether you go back alive or wake up after a few years... In the heart of the elements, there has never been a feeling of the passage of time.
Shar suddenly spoke: "I want to spread this matter to the elemental world... When the magma element prince Tribia murdered the good fire element prince Barestia, Ekaq was probably not the auxiliary, but the leader.
.
Erybia is still imprisoned in the elemental furnace!"
She instantly dissipated, looking a little impatient. Even Selune's mocking voice did not stop her steps.
As for Ekak's shady plans, no one will take them seriously.
Even without Hill's help, food has never been a problem for the undead.
For them, there is only one problem.
Mir Forest occupies a vast area. If there were not a large number of undead people, they would not be able to build such a long magic wall. Because goblins can fly, they did not even build a city gate.
The undead could only use a few iron baskets that could hold twenty people to pull the Calimshan people up the city wall and send them all into the alchemy house. Gu Guan
No matter how many conspiracies there are, there is nothing to fear for the undead who own the oil paintings... They don't even plan to search the bodies of these Calishans.
Anyway, even if tens of thousands of people come, their alchemy cabin can still accommodate them... Thanks to the power of the God of Time and Space, and thanks to William's generosity.
They are all public property anyway and no one would be reluctant to use them.
The Calishites and spies stood on both sides looking at the refugees being sent to that terrible hut... Even if they didn't have ulterior motives, it was a nightmare for them.
At least the neighbors who were once in the forest, and even the partners who depended on each other for life, now don't even want to look at each other's faces... and some people dare not look at them.
There was no fight because the spies were too miserable and a little slow.
After watching the good show of the spies, I no longer have the desire to fight... Anyway, at most some people are more wrong, and no one is completely wrong.
At least everyone can be sure... they are all ordinary people, and they will make small mistakes that normal people make, and everyone has jealousy.
So those spies don't have to worry about the Calishans gathering to deal with them... Only now do some people occasionally say hello to past acquaintances, and when they enter the refugee huts built for them by the undead, they all choose to interact with strangers tacitly.
People become neighbors.
Therefore, watching those people being sent into that hut, the Calimshan people who had enjoyed that light had mixed feelings... but no one hoped that these new arrivals could not go in.
One is that they hope that Mill Forest will remain safe until the country is at peace, and the other...if everyone has suffered such a blow, then getting along with each other will be more pleasant in the future.
They cannot deny their own thoughts: people who have not been illuminated by the light are not their own.
As for the spies, they are very simple. One is to see if there are any colleagues they know, and the other is to see if there are any colleagues they don't know.
Although they had fought fiercely, the relationship between them was much better than that of the Calishans, who stood arm-in-arm and pointed at the crowd.
Everyone who sees their frozen figures can confirm their identity... but they don't know which country they are from.
They are trying to identify it before the results are known and are asking anyone who knows the truth to shut up.
The laughter and laughter of these spies even attracted some undead who were more curious and started betting with them. However, as soon as the undead participated, the spies quickly changed their bets.
So with a serious look on his face, ‘Yuluo Morchen’ walked around for a while and left... They chose to bet on elf wine.
Although this kind of wine is relatively expensive, no undead people who are used to living in Aglaia are short of this stuff... When the spies used gems to buy it at first, they thought they were getting a big advantage, but later they realized,
For these elves from another world, you can spend money to buy as much as you want.
Moreover, you can buy it for a few gold coins. Although the undead use elven gold coins, they can also be exchanged for gold dragons!
On the continent of Toril, elven wine is indeed priced in gold coins... but it would be a dream to buy it without water mixed with gold coins.
Everything has a market price in Toril, but truly good things have a price but no market.
Don't look at those auctions in major cities that are very popular, but you must know that unless you use gold bars, you can only buy them with their local gold coins... Tsk, anyone who knows a little bit about politics knows what they are doing.
They are also Dragon Coins, and can be used normally in most areas of Waterdeep and Silvermoon City most of the time.
No, Waterdeep City has also been in a bit of turmoil recently. The reason is very simple, it's the Trasil elves in front of us.
Therefore, many people choose to trade gold bars when trading with Waterdeep... On the contrary, Aglaia's elf gold coins are more valuable. In times of turmoil, gold coins with high gold content are worth keeping in their hands.
As for Calimshan's gold coins, they definitely can't be spent now.
So they didn't keep any money here at all, but as spies, they wouldn't take their own country's money with them.
Hard currency like gems is the standard for spies, at least they can be spent anywhere.
Unless he takes over the Calishan regime in the future and is willing to support the Calishan Kingdom in the end... Generally not, it is most cost-effective for the new king to make new money... At least the so-called remnants of the previous dynasty will suffer heavy losses.
If you want to make your family strong again, you have to spend more time.
Hill watched with interest as the spies smiled sincerely at the undead.
Although they don't know what will happen in the future, it seems that they are really planning to retire now...it was clear that they were still struggling for their future before Iltmaara came.
