Anta Silver Shield is dead, Grand Duchess Lila Janus is also dead, and even Flame Fist's deputy commander Ska is speculated to be dead. [Read the latest chapter] Grand Duke Iltan is seriously ill and is trapped in the port authority. Grand Duke "Bert" disappears without a trace.
Any politician who encourages assassination is foolish. A cunning person like Rita of the Iron Throne will obviously not make such a mistake. He quickly attributed this series of despicable assassinations to Am, and condemned it in the strongest terms! And announced that they have obtained preliminary evidence of the killer-it was a killer couple from the south! For big shots, this is a word play. There are many countries and regions in the south. Calisan Harbor is indeed the south, very south. But for the residents of Baldur's Gate, the south usually refers to Amn, and Amn is having trouble with us.
When high-level figures are assassinated one after another, Baldur's Gate is leaderless and falls into chaos, and the citizens are panicked! The Iron Throne is coming! They stood up "regardless of their own safety" and "bravely took on" the heavy responsibility of protecting the city!
All Flame Fist mercenaries who were suspected of being insiders were required to stay in the barracks and were not allowed to leave or connect with each other. But when he was asked to hand over his weapons, it almost sparked a riot, so he let it go. The part of the flame fist power that Angelo Toussen had mastered was eventually left inside as a means of adding sand. He himself is now mainly responsible for commanding the Iron Throne's force to take over the city's defense. Now the guards of the Iron Throne and the adventurers who bear the name of the Iron Throne have changed into uniforms and acted as patrols.
No one mentioned Annie's assassination of Ska, because at this time Ska was being labeled as a sinner. The deceased Anta Silver Shield and Lila Janus will definitely gain a good reputation and be hailed as heroes. On the contrary, it is a person like Ska, who may not have died from serious injuries, but is still a person with great prestige. In order to prevent him from making a comeback, I am afraid that countless dirty water will be poured on him.
Fortunately, the Iron Throne maintains some bottom lines. The monsters such as jackals and hobgoblins they controlled were not released into the city, so they did not cause a larger area of panic.
When the morning sun shines on the street, there are no vendors hawking along the street. Without the hustle and bustle of merchants, the iron gates on Wanlong Bridge are still closed. The whole city seemed empty.
Of course, the propaganda will not be effective so quickly, but as long as the conflicts between Baldur's Gate and kingdoms like Amn and Cormyr intensify, under the fear of war, eventually both the Flaming Fist and the citizens of Baldur's Gate will be at odds with themselves. stand together.
Rita believed this.
As long as he holds the lives of 50,000 people in his hands, everyone can only surrender.
The overall situation has been decided, and it is time to solve the internal problems of the Iron Throne. The Iron Throne began as a mercantile alliance of small merchants. It also adopts a seat system and has an organization similar to parliament. Rita is only one of the leaders of the Iron Throne. Others of equal status include Brunos and Sadon. Of course, he now has the support of his adopted son Savrok. There is no problem with force.
He stood on the top floor of the Iron Throne and looked towards the tall city wall in the distance. Many people had forgotten the meaning of this wall. It was precisely because of the construction of this city wall that Bodean defeated the orcs and established the city. The bridge gate built on the Wanlong Bridge. It is the origin of the city's name, "Baldur's Gate".
After that, Bodean himself continued to venture out to sea and entrusted the city to four dukes for management. This is the origin of the tradition of the four rulers.
I am not here to replace Anta Silver Shield. Become the powerful duke that he is.
What I want to replace is Bodean!
This is a very secret castle, and only no more than three people, including Anta Silver Shield, know about it.
Now there are less than ten people here, and Grand Duke Anta Silver Shield has arranged his counterattack stronghold here.
He and his four men have been busy. Do you still remember the woman who hid during the battle in the Duke's mansion and later came with Anta Silver Shield? William always thought that she was the Grand Duke's lover, but he didn't expect that it was his daughter Ke'er! Moreover, this is probably the daughter he has positioned as his heir, as you can tell by looking at Harold's attentiveness.
Of course, there is another reason that no one knows - this daughter is the Grand Duke's only confirmed biological daughter.
After the longest night, things started to move in a good direction. This morning, everything seems to be good news from everywhere.
The first was the body of his stand-in. Although it fell a little badly, luckily it was not burned badly and his face could still be clearly distinguished, so Rita finally recognized without any doubt, "Anta Silver Shield is dead." "fact.
The war in the North has come to an end. News came secretly through the High Priest of the Temple of Helm. The troll army of the two-headed troll Kara was defeated, and our commander Ska's adopted daughter Wei died in the battle - two pieces of good news. , there is nothing more perfect than this # The chief priest of Mu Temple promised him that as long as he unified the armed forces of various temples, he would immediately turn around and "quell the rebellion." As the most powerful Helm Temple in Baldur's Gate, Anta Silver Shield can't think of any other surprises.
The third good news came from the "recuperating" Grand Duke Iltan. He had already contacted the Flame Fist officers in the military camp and could launch a mutiny at any time. Moreover, Anta Silver Shield's own armed fleet has arrived outside Baldur's Gate and can launch an attack tomorrow!
Finally, there is his hidden secret on the Iron Throne, Savrok is ready to take action!
After Baal's death, his priesthood was taken by Cyric! Cyric thus became a god with great power. So the Church of Baal and the Church of Cyric are mortal enemies! There is absolutely no way it can be resolved!
Savrok, the son of Baal, and Rita, the senior priest of Cyric Church, were born enemies because of God! Even if they have an adoptive father-son relationship now. Therefore, he told Shaflock that he was not dead.
So the two made a deal. Savrok helped him kill his adoptive father, cleanse all the top brass of the Iron Throne, and then swear allegiance to him. To do this, he needs to agree to Savrok's three conditions: Savrok controls the Iron Throne; Savrok becomes the Grand Duke; and declares war on Amn in the shortest possible time!
Haha, young people always want to prove themselves through war... To this, Anta Silver Shield doesn't care at all. War can do many things that cannot be done in peacetime. If he wants war, give him war!
Anta Silver Shield now hates dealing with old guys more and more. He likes energetic young people. Even if Savrok is ambitious. He also felt that he could control it. Who else is as ambitious as Iltan when he was young? But he has been suppressed by himself until now.
This is good. what else?
Ah, there is news from Savrok that Rita is leaving Baldur's Gate and going to Candlekeep. I hope we can cooperate in leading a certain group of people to Candlekeep? I don't want to dirty my hands, I want to borrow theirs. Do you want to kill your adoptive father with your hands? No problem...
Throwing the sorted information on the table, he stood up tiredly, having been busy for so long. He was really tired.
"I'm going to take a rest. Notify me of news!" Anta Silver Shield stood up and walked out. Several people bid him farewell respectfully, including the newly joined William Gast. He stood diligently closest to the door. The waist is almost bent to the ground. This is really too flattering, but I like it! Young people do have a future after all. Hehehe, he patted William on the shoulder and walked out with a smile.
Bed, ah. So soft.
When Anta lay down, he sighed comfortably. I'm really getting older. This time I only lasted less than 40 hours in a row, and I felt like I couldn't hold on anymore.
Just when he was hazy and about to fall asleep. An icy chill invaded his heart.
He woke up suddenly, but...it seemed that everything was too late! He saw the dawn light coming in from behind the window, stretching his shadow diagonally to the floor - behind him, there was also a faint shadow attached to his back, like a ghost!
But he knew that that was not a ghost, that was an extremely skilled assassin! The thorny dagger passed through his back from behind and stabbed him in the heart. He could clearly feel that the dagger seemed to be covered with barbs, piercing his heart firmly, which made his heart hurt! And the hand holding the dagger is very stable. Even after he was stabbed, he subconsciously sat up suddenly, and the dagger followed his movements completely without any trembling.
"Is it Savrok?" he asked bitterly. Life had begun to pass, and he knew that he had no chance of resurrection. Not only because the most powerful priests have been transferred, but also because the assassin in front of him is a veteran and cannot leave such a big flaw!
"Wrong guess, it's Lu Yuan." The assassin, a young woman's voice, spoke softly in his ear.
"Lu Yuan?!" The shock made his heart beat rapidly, and he almost ended his life early! "Why? I haven't given him enough? He can make a deal with me! What does he want? Mage tower? Land? Grand Duke? I'll give it!" When he heard it was Lu Yuan, Anta instantly felt it The possibility of silk birth.
Lu Yuan had no reason to kill him!
"Ayuan hates being used as a pawn, and you have been doing this all the time!" Ding Mumu continued to speak softly, without disturbing the people outside the house at all. "And Ayuan told you clearly that he prefers rings, why don't you understand?"
"What ring? I gave him...a ring."
"Bod'an's ring." Ding Mumu gently took away a ring from Anta Yindun's left hand. It's not the ruby seal ring that represents the power of the Silver Shield family, nor is it another powerful magic ring. It was worn on the ring finger, a small ordinary silver ring, which would always be mistaken for Anta's wedding ring.
————————
Bodean's silver ring:
The ring was never seen. It is said that this was a birthday gift given to him by his father on his eighteenth birthday.
data:
Weight: 0
————————
As we all know, Bodean was a pirate. There is no record of his past family, and he may not be considered wealthy. Therefore, the birthday gift he received had nothing to do with magic items. It was not even inlaid with any gems. It was just an ordinary silver ring with fairly exquisite craftsmanship. But when Ding Mumu took it off Anta's finger, his eyelids were beating constantly, and his fingers spasmed several times to grab the ring. His eyes... seemed to see his lifelong ideal leaving.
"Can I survive?" Anta asked in a lowered voice. He was still calm and still thinking of ways to fight back. It would be useless for Lu Yuan to kill him like this, even if he holds his own seal. Those men wouldn't listen to him either. Just like now, even if Baldur himself comes back, he will not be able to control Baldur's Gate. Own industry, own fleet. Except for me, Anta Silver Shield, no one can command me!
"No. Because Ayuan said, never see him again!" Ding Mumu gently pulled out the dagger, and Anta Silver Shield lost his life at that moment!
At the end of the handle of the ferocious dagger in Ding Mumu's hand, a puff of smoke appeared from the inlaid black gem. The smoke twisted into Anta Silver Shield's face from time to time, dazed and roaring! He banged against the walls of the gem. Not a moment of peace!
"Soul Ritual" dagger +2, the soul of the person killed by the dagger is imprisoned in the dagger.
She didn't leave immediately.
Ding Mumu took out another black gem that looked similar, and there was also a soul imprisoned in it. He looks very similar to Antar Silver Shield's face. It's just that he was more peaceful, without any trace of resistance. Seeing Anta Silver Shield's "corpse", he nodded excitedly and seemed to be shouting something loudly in the gem.
Anne placed the gem on the corpse's forehead and recited a scroll. As the scroll turns to ash. The black gem also shattered into fine slag, and the imprisoned soul entered the body of the corpse. In just an instant, the body seemed to change from pale to colorful. He began to struggle and tried to make a sound. The damaged heart also began to beat slightly.
After completing all this, "Hold on!" Ding Mumu said in the new Anta's ear, and raised his hand to break the lamp on the table.
The sound of the desk lamp falling obviously alarmed everyone outside, and the sound of panicked running was coming this way.
Ding Mumu patted the man's shoulder again, and then the black cat Afu took her and jumped into the shadows.
Savrok, the villain who won the least number of hoe awards.
Taking off his terrifying armor, he looked more like a charismatic martial man. Just looking at the burly figure, the shiny bald head and the careless smile, anyone would think that this guy is a straightforward and bold man.
In fact, Lao Sha is a very smart person, sometimes terrifyingly shrewd.
Rita trusted him very much and gave him the most important armed force because she took a fancy to her adopted son's "loyalty".
Indeed, on the surface, Rita's strength far exceeds that of Savrok, and he has no reason to carry out a betrayal that is bound to fail.
Rita has a group of experienced and well-connected staff in various positions. What does Shavrok have? All he has is a group of radical young people. Behind Rita stands the Cyric Church. He is actually the secret leader of the Cyric Church's region. What about Savrok? He only has a close relationship with the Church of Baal, a dismal church whose god has died and whose priesthood was taken away by Cyric.
Everything about Savrok was open to him, so he trusted his adopted son extremely.
It's a pity that there is only one thing he doesn't know - Savrok is the son of Baal, and he already knows this through dreams! If he defeats all the sons of Baal, there are only two possibilities: he can take back the priesthood of the God of Slaughter and ascend Baal's throne; or Baal can be resurrected from his body and take back the priesthood himself! No matter which possibility, Cyric will be completely offended.
Because the Church of Baal is very optimistic about Savrok, its support for him is unlimited, which is far greater than the support of the Cyric Church for Rita.
Secondly, he only saw that Savrok's men were a bunch of cynical young people with shallow foundations and few connections. But I didn't see that these people are very capable, and they are very disgusted with the old guys who have been in power for a long time!

Savrok:
I hope you can attend the friendly talks held in Candlekeep and witness this moment!
You know, as long as I end the threat of war between Amn and Cormyr and bring peace to Baldur's Gate, everyone will worship me.
My child, at that time, I will support you in running for the Grand Duke of Flame Fist. I know you have been looking forward to becoming a Grand Duke for a long time!
I will await your arrival at Candlekeep.
your father rita
——————————
The text message sent by Rita was passed among several people. From time to time, some people read it and laughed contemptuously. They were all Shaflock's confidants and knew what Shaflock really thought about his adoptive father.
"Rita and several leaders have left Baldur's Gate? This is a great opportunity! Let's get rid of them in one go!" someone suggested.
"Someone will do it." Savrok said confidently, "I don't want to dirty my hands. Now I need to put this matter aside. When they die, I can't appear in Candlekeep."
"I'll make the arrangements," one of the staff members returned. His entire team was full of vigor and vitality.
"So, who is our next enemy? Anta? Silver Shield?" His staff asked with shining eyes.
Savrok is much more tolerant than his father and even the grand dukes. He does not engage in secret politics. He would be honest with his trusted subordinates about many things and plans, and then discuss them together. Speaking of charisma, he is probably the most suitable one for Baldur's Gate.
"Anta? He's dead." Savrok played with a black gem in his hand without explaining anything. When "Blood Rose" handed the black gem to him, he almost thought it was a joke and finally confirmed that although the soul in the gem was dead, after using divine magic to distinguish it, it was indeed Anta Silver Shield's. soul! The answer confirmed by the gods is beyond doubt. "Our next enemy is Amn! Prepare for war, everyone!"
"War! This is the time to make great achievements!"
A group of young men high-fived each other enthusiastically and looked forward to it enthusiastically!
