Warhammer: Emperor's Ravenbringer
Chapter 108: Foreign Unification War
Chapter 108: Foreign Version of Unification War
"Big guy, it's too early to say such harsh words. Some of those gods are very stingy."
Raven communicates with the Emperor using his mind.
"If you say something so arrogant, they will most likely turn around and help the Supreme True God to deal with us first."
"I've dealt with the gods more often than you can imagine."
The Emperor was somewhat disdainful of the gods.
"Believe me, the so-called gods are nothing but a bunch of bullies who only care about the weak and fear the strong."
"As long as you are strong enough and show enough threat to them, they will abandon the dignity of God and talk to you on an equal footing."
Elmo stared at the stranger in front of him with wide eyes.
This guy's arrogance was beyond his imagination.
It’s not that the other party doesn’t take the Goddess of Magic seriously, but that he doesn’t take the gods seriously.
An image suddenly popped up in Elmo's mind.
In the Pantheon, the guy in front of me slammed the table.
With an expression as if he was the greatest person on earth and everything in between, he pointed his finger at all the gods and shouted in a very arrogant tone.
"I'm not saying the Magic Goddess is trash, I'm saying everyone here is trash."
"Such arrogance will inevitably lead to disaster." Aymo shook his head and said, "The last guy who dared to challenge the gods is still trapped in endless pain. Are you sure you want to repeat his mistakes?"
"There's no need for us to continue chatting. Either give me the knowledge of the magic network in exchange for the Crown of Karsus, or shut up."
The Emperor was too lazy to continue arguing with Elmo.
He raised his head and looked at the Mind Flayer Mastermind floating in the air and the three people above it.
Through the raven's reading ability, he has already seen through the identities of the three people.
The woman's name was Orin the Red, and she was a follower of Baal, the god of murder.
She perfectly practiced the creed of the god she believed in.
He is a cruel, brutal, murderous assassin and murderer who is addicted to killing.
This guy is also a shapeshifter, able to transform into any creature she comes into contact with.
Such an ability is simply too perfect for an assassin.
The other man was named Enver Gotash, a follower of Bane, the god of strife.
The Iron Warden who controls Baldur's Gate.
It was a terrifying mechanical army.
Made of magic and steel, its combat power is terrifying.
The remaining one was General Thom, who had been beaten up by the three primarchs and had an immortal body.
He is a follower of Melkor, the god of death, and controls the army of the undead.
This guy has a very tragic past.
He was once a follower of Selune, the moon goddess.
Later, due to the tragic death of his family, the Moon Goddess did not give any response.
In desperation, he turned to the goddess of night - Shar.
Later, in order to resurrect his daughter, he chose to believe in Melkor, the god of death.
It is worth mentioning that his daughter was Isobel, who blessed Perturabo's army.
She still believes in the Moon Goddess.
From the fact that she was willing to help Perturabo's army attack the Moonrise Tower, it can be seen that she does not have a good relationship with her father.
The god of murder, the god of strife, and the god of death are collectively known as the Three Gods of Death.
They were once mortals, but became gods by sharing the power of Jergal, the original god of death.
Jergal is the oldest of the gods and has authority over death.
Manipulate the fate of mortals and make them fight for power and wealth.
When they die, they will be welcomed into the kingdom of the dead to rest forever.
Over many ages, Jergal established a kingdom of the dead that far surpassed any other deity.
But it also gradually became tired of its duties.
At this time, three arrogant mortals who seized the power of the Lost God broke into the Kingdom of the Dead and challenged it.
Jergal then divided his authority among them, and thus there came into being the Three Death Gods.
However, the Three Gods of Death were not satisfied with this and they longed for more.
They secretly stole the destiny tablet of the Supreme God - Ao, intending to control the power of the Supreme God.
This incident made AO very angry, thinking that the gods had deviated from their duties, pursued power too much, and neglected to respond to their believers.
He demoted the gods to the plane of Toril and had them transform into saints to retrieve the lost tablets of destiny.
The gods transformed themselves into saints and entered the main material plane, causing chaos and turmoil.
This chaos resulted in the fall of many gods and the rise of new gods.
The three gods of death who were the instigators also fell in that turmoil.
The authority was obtained by the new god - Cyric.
After the Troubles, the High God Ao changed the rules of the gods, binding their power to the number of their followers.
The Three Gods of Death planned to use the plan of the Supreme True God to increase their own believers and thus take back their power over death.
They stole the Crown of Karsus from the Archdevil of Hell and found three Netherstones left over from ancient times.
The Netherstone was created by the arcanists of the Kingdom of Netheril during the time of Karsus. It possesses terrifying magic and amplification effects, and can perfectly control the Crown of Karsus.
Use three Netherstones and the Crown of Karthus.
Orin, Enver, and Thom successfully enslaved the Mind Flayer mastermind.
The mind flayer elder brain is one of the most brutal and powerful creatures.
It can control the will of all people parasitized by the Mind Flayer tadpoles on a large scale and can transform them at any time. It possesses psychic powers beyond imagination.
A single mind flayer mastermind can establish a massive mind flayer colony and enslave countless humanoids.
If the plan succeeds, the Three Gods of Death will gain enough power of faith to return to their own kingdom of God.
"It's a bit difficult at this height."
Perturabo frowned as he looked at the Mastermind floating in the sky.
Mortarion and Lorgar looked around, trying to see if there was anything that could help them jump to the Elder Brain.
The three of them did not have the genetic engine implanted, nor did they awaken the essence of the Primarch.
There is no ability to fly at all.
"Let me help you."
Malcador came out holding a double-headed eagle scepter.
He chanted the ancient spell, and terrifying psychic energy waves emanated from his body.
The legendary arcanist, Soma, who was standing nearby, also showed a look of surprise.
Even he can't do such a powerful magical fluctuation.
These outsiders are truly more terrifying than each other.
As the spell was chanted, wisps of light emerged behind the three primarchs.
They intertwined to form a pair of wings of light.
Just by gently flapping the wings of light, a powerful lift would carry their bodies and fly high into the sky.
"Not a bad idea. I can finally experience the feeling of flying freely with a Sanguinius."
Perturabo praised, then flapped his wings of light and rushed into the sky.
Mortarion and Lorgar followed closely behind.
The fighting power of the three Primarchs is far stronger than that of the three chosen by the Death Gods.
Even with the interference of the Mind Flayer Mastermind, victory still continued to tilt towards them.
Orin the Red is a skilled assassin.
It is very fast and has the ability to move in space.
boom! !
Olin, who was knocked away, exploded into a ball of red light and disappeared on the spot.
Then, it jumped out of thin air again.
Gripping the dagger tightly, he stabbed at Mortarion.
Zheng~
Mortarion used the scythe in his hand to block the opponent's dagger.
There was a series of sparks flying, and the two weapons collided, making a sound of metal clashing.
Mortarion spun his scythe, knocking Orin off balance, and swung it again.
Bang!
Olin exploded out of thin air, turned into a ball of scarlet light again, and disappeared.
Mortarion looked around, taking his breath away.
Suddenly, he felt something in his heart, and swung the sickle in his hand and chopped towards a place.
Olin was just coming out of there.
Before he could react, he saw the sharp sickle falling and the whole person was cut in two.
Bright red blood splattered out.
The viscera flowed out of the smooth incision.
This cruel assassin who believed in the god Baal fell in this way.
Mortarion removed the netherstone from the opponent's dagger.
When you get the Netherstone, you can feel the surging power within it.
After taking a look at it, Mortarion put it away and checked on the other two brothers.
Perturabo was fighting Enver.
This guy is usually responsible for strategy and planning.
His combat capability is the weakest among the three.
After a few rounds, he was pinned to the ground and beaten by Perturabo.
If Raven had not used his mind to tell Perturabo not to kill him, his head would have been torn off long ago.
The situation between Lorgar and General Som was also one-sided.
"Poor creature who believes in a false god."
Lorgar raised the scepter in his hand and broke General Som's jaw.
The terrible force caused General Som to fly out.
Then, Lorgar waved his wings of light, flew above the opponent, and smashed down with his scepter.
General Som was hit and fell to the ground like a cannonball.
boom!
A dull sound was heard, and smoke and dust flew.
A terrible deep pit was smashed into the ground, and spider-web-like cracks spread in all directions.
General Som was reduced to a pulp.
After a while, he resurrected again and walked out of the deep pit.
Lorgar folded his wings of light and fell like a cannonball.
Use the huge potential energy to crush General Som's head.
"This is really tricky! I want to see the limit of your immortality!"
Lorgar narrowed his eyes and looked at General Som who had turned into a pulp.
This trip to the alien universe really opened his eyes.
God really exists in this universe.
But now he had no reverence at all.
Those gods are no more than that!
Might as well believe in the god of chips and ketchup.
"Stop." The resurrected General Som shouted hurriedly when he saw Lorgar rushing towards him with a scepter in his hand.
"Want to say something?" Lorgar looked at General Som coldly.
"Stop fighting, let's talk it out."
General Som, who used to rely on his immortality to kill people at every turn, suddenly no longer likes fighting and killing.
"I'm sorry. I don't want to tell you."
Lorgar swung his scepter and smashed it down, dismembering General Som once again.
boom!
The dark red light erupted violently like a volcano.
A terrible will descended.
The ground rumbled and terrifying cracks appeared.
"Death is not an end, but a new beginning."
The sound of death from hell came out from the cracks.
A giant skeleton dressed in a black robe slowly crawled out from the crack that was emitting green light.
The skull's head is crowned with a huge triangular crown made of pure gold.
A large number of skull decorations are hung on the body.
The visitor was none other than Melkor, the god of death.
Melkor raised his hand, and a huge black sickle flew into his hand.
General Som, who had been beaten all the time, could no longer endure such cruelty.
Directly summon the gods he believes in.
Although Melkor's power declined greatly after he fell in the turmoil, he still possessed the terrifying pressure of the gods.
"Has the false god come out?" Lorgar showed no fear, pointing the scepter in his hand at Melkor, full of provocation.
"How dare you, mortal, challenge the gods?"
Melkor looked at Lorgar, and his voice was like thunder, rumbling and shaking.
"God? Sorry, I only believe in the God of French fries and ketchup." Lorgar said with sarcasm.
From this moment on, his filter of God was completely shattered.
They are certainly powerful.
But it was not what he imagined, that would bring salvation to mankind and the world.
In the final analysis, gods are just reflections of mortal beings.
Lorgar flapped his wings of light, held the scepter in his hand, and soared into the sky to fight against the huge Melkor.
Zheng!
Zheng!
The sound of sickles and scepters clashing could be heard constantly.
Let ripples form in the air.
The fight between the two sides became increasingly fierce, with each move being deadly and aimed at the opponent's vital points.
"I like that sickle." Mortarion looked at the black sickle in the hands of Melkor, the god of death.
"Don't worry, it's yours." Perturabo shrugged. "I don't like that kind of weapon."
"The sickle is very useful, and it is even more powerful if it is paired with a hammer." Mortarion said, "It is a pity that you don't use it."
"A hammer is useful, but a sickle is fine." Perturabo held up the forging hammer in his hand, which had a golden skull and a double-headed eagle emblem on it.
He originally got Commander Cambion's everburning greatsword, but after using it a few times, he still felt that a hammer was more convenient, so he made a hammer himself.
The two Primarchs flapped their wings of light and rushed into the sky to join the battle between Lorgar and Melkor.
The immortal god wielded his scythe, slashing again and again.
The space was cut into terrible cracks, which were extremely dark and bottomless, and the wind of nothingness kept blowing out.
Occasionally, you can hear some terrifying noises from it.
I don’t know where these space cracks are connected to.
Zheng!
Zheng!
Zheng!
The three primarchs fought with the God of Death - Melkor with their great strength and superb skills.
The sound of metal clashing continued to ring out.
The people on the ground looked at the scene in amazement.
Although the God of Death - Melkor fell once, he lost his godhood and his strength dropped greatly.
But it is still a being that possesses divinity and divine fire, and no mortal can resist it.
However, the three outsiders were able to overpower this immortal god and firmly held the upper hand.
General Thom, who summoned Melkor, also looked despair when he saw the battle in the sky.
The enemy is too strong.
Even if he summoned gods, he would still be no match for the opponent.
boom!
Perturabo's hammer struck Melkor's white hand bones, creating shocking cracks.
White bone fragments fell down.
The death scythe in Melkor's hand fell out of his hand.
Caught by Mortarion.
Countless horrifying sounds of the dead poured into the Primarch's mind from the trembling death scythe, violently stirring his brain.
Mortarion groaned.
He suppressed those voices with his willpower.
"I am Mortarion. I am Death. Submit to me."
The whispers of countless undead were dispersed by Mortarion's will.
The death sickle in his hand no longer trembled, and lay quietly in his hand.
A mysterious connection was also established between the sickle and him.
At this moment, Mortarion felt as if he and the weapon in his hand had become one.
It is no longer a cold weapon, but an extension of his limbs and will.
"No! My weapon." Melkor opened his huge skull mouth and let out a low roar.
Mortarion flapped his wings of light and rushed towards Melkor. "It is mine, false god."
After a fierce battle, Mortarion swung the scythe in his hand forward.
It chopped straight into the forehead of Melkor, the god of death, and cut off his soul fire.
Perturabo and Lorgar also took the opportunity to attack, breaking its arms and thighs.
The three Primarchs joined forces and successfully defeated Melkor.
The huge body of the God of Death collapsed and turned into a pile of bones.
Divinity and divine fire condensed from the bones and turned into a burning white crystal ball.
Mortarion landed in front of the divine crystal and absorbed it with the death scythe in his hand.
The sickle vibrated inexplicably, exuding a sense of joy, becoming closer to Mortarion, and its power increased by several levels.
Melkor was killed.
General Som also came to an end.
Split in half by Mortarion's upgraded Death Scythe.
The soul was also devoured by the blade.
Never to be resurrected again.
At this point, all three Netherstones fell into the hands of the Primarch.
"It's a terrible death artifact."
Mortarion looked at the Death Scythe with a hint of excitement.
"A powerful weapon requires a powerful mind." The raven appeared on Mortarion's shoulder and warned him.
"I will definitely keep your words in mind, Mr. Raven." Mortarion nodded, looking well-behaved.
"What should we do with the Mind Flayer Mastermind?" Gale looked at the Emperor.
"Destroy it." The Emperor ordered without hesitation, "Use the Netherstone to order this creature and all the minions it can control to self-destruct."
"Ah, ruined!!" Gail suspected that he had heard it wrong.
The professionals of the Harper organization, as well as the druids, tiefling warriors, etc., all looked shocked.
The mind flayer mastermind controlled by the Crown of Karsus is a powerful weapon. It would be a pity if it were destroyed.
The emperor didn't even hesitate.
"Please, do not do that."
A voice came into the Emperor's mind.
Then, the surrounding scenes shattered like a dream.
The Emperor was pulled into a magnificent starry sky.
A mind flayer as huge as a planet stood in the void, staring at him.
"I can give you power beyond your imagination and help you realize your dream of conquering the world. Please don't destroy me."
The Mind Flayer Mastermind said.
"That's a lie. You just want to buy time and use the Crown of Karsus to evolve into the Nether Brain."
A raven jumped out from the side.
He had already understood the plans of the Mind Flayer Mastermind by reading cosmic information.
Even being captured by General Som's trio was intentional by this guy, just to wear the crown of Karsus.
It was also the one that revealed the news about the Prism in order to allow the monarch to gain independent will, rebel against itself, and create loopholes in the plans of the Three Gods of Death.
As a result, both its plan and the plan of the Three Gods of Death were destroyed by the Emperor.
"Destroying me will do you no good." The Mind Flayer Mastermind said, "You have already offended the gods. I can help you."
"Just the gods." The Emperor was unmoved by the words of the Mind Flayer Mastermind. "Destroying the enemies of humanity does not require any benefits, because destroying you guys is the greatest reward in itself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Emperor's body burst into flames.
It was so violent that it burned the entire dream to ashes.
The will of the mind flayer's main brain let out a shrill cry.
The Emperor returned to the real world, and under his command, the three Primarchs raised the Netherstone in their hands and issued orders together.
"Immediately destroy all minions you can control, as well as yourself."
Waves of terrifying psychic energy were released, and the Mind Flayer Lord attempted to resist this order.
But under the control of the Crown of Karthus, it failed and began to self-destruct.
Psychic energy explodes within the brain tissue.
The thick tentacles disintegrated, fell off, and fell heavily to the ground.
The mind flayer mastermind, once regarded as a nightmare by countless races, fell apart and completely perished.
[Destiny node changes by 5%, obtains the Tome of Nether [Part ], the manufacturing technology and principle of the Miserah Core]
With the death of the Mind Flayer Overmind, a vast amount of magical knowledge flooded into the Emperor's mind.
The entity of the Book of Nether is a series of golden pages, each page of which records knowledge beyond imagination.
It is divided into two volumes, each containing fifty pages.
It was discovered by the Netherese accidentally in an ancient ruin.
The Netherese Empire used this knowledge to create an incredibly brilliant civilization.
Create all kinds of beautiful buildings that are ingenious and break free from the constraints of gravity.
They also created a number of magical floating cities that are beautiful and breathtaking.
But as time went by, the prosperous Netheril Empire also declined.
The Scroll of Nether was also lost for various reasons.
In the end, it disappeared completely with the destruction of the Netherese Empire.
Even though countless people have gone to look for it, they have never found it.
The Emperor absorbed all the knowledge in the Volume of Nether [Part 1] and smiled with satisfaction.
"As long as I get the Tome of Netheril [Part 2], even without Mystra's help, I can build a magic network, or even a psychic network more powerful than the magic network."
Another reward - the Core of Misera, is also very valuable.
It can maintain the power of magical creations.
Creating permanent magic items is a very time-consuming task for an arcanist.
Not only does it consume a lot of energy and magic power, but it also drains some of your vitality.
The magical device, the Core of Miserah, can penetrate deep into the magic network, resonate with the most primitive and purest magic power, and directly transmit the original magic power.
Allows arcanists to create permanent magic items without having to cast a permanence spell.
Its appearance made magical floating cities a standard feature of every city and great arcanist in the Nether era.
Unfortunately, this technology was lost with the destruction of the Netheril Empire.
After absorbing all the knowledge, the Emperor examined the Crown of Karsus.
After obtaining the Volume of Nether [Part 1], there is no need to delve into the trivia of Karsus anymore, and this crown becomes dispensable.
He glanced at Soma, then casually handed the Crown of Karsus to Gale.
"This is for you. Fuse this thing with the Sphere of Netheril in your body, and it will solve your body's problems."
Gail's eyes widened.
Looking at the Crown of Karsus being stuffed into his hands.
His face was full of disbelief.
The artifact that can control the mind flayer's main brain was given to me just like that? ?
The leader of the Tieflings, Sevro, and the leader of the Harpers, Jaheira, were also shocked.
Such a precious artifact is just given away for free?
What kind of treatment is this? !
Having seen the best of the enemy, I wouldn't be so extravagant as to give away artifacts casually! !
Soma, the Magic Goddess's chosen one, was shocked and angry.
The shocked Emperor casually handed the artifact to Gale.
Anger comes from the other party not caring about the favor of the Goddess of Magic.
Obviously, you don't need the Crown of Karsus, you can gain favor and grace by just giving it to the Goddess of Magic.
The other party gave the Crown of Karsus to Gale.
Such behavior is a disrespect to Mystra, the goddess of magic.
"Gail, give me the crown." Su Mo said, "This is your last chance to regain the goddess' favor."
"No, Elminster." Gale shook his head and refused. "I have spent the first half of my life trying to get her attention, but now I see it clearly."
"I'm done with her. Now, I should live for myself and go my own way."
As he finished speaking, Gaal raised the Crown of Karsus and activated the Netherese orb in his body.
The Crown of Karsus turned into wisps of light, poured into his body, merged with the magic ball in his body, and became the core of his power.
As the fusion occurred, a terrifying force erupted from Gale's body.
Strands of divinity were born from his body and intertwined into godhood.
A divine fire ignited deep in his soul.
Divine runes emerged on Gale's body, the most divine and holy.
His eyes were surging with white light, so bright and dazzling.
Loud hymns came from the sky.
The magnificent and sacred heaven appeared before everyone.
Rays of divine light pierced through the clouds and fell on Gale.
The gods hidden in the heavens looked at Gale who was about to ascend, with different expressions.
However, Gail's next reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.
He raised his head, looked towards the heavens, and said word by word: "I will not choose to become a god, so I choose to abandon you."
The ethereal and beautiful hymn turned into an angry roar.
The gods were angry at Gale's arrogance and vowed to punish him.
Gail didn't care.
He raised his middle finger to the sky as a sign of contempt for the gods.
"I firmly believe that one day, mortals will achieve achievements that will make even the gods ashamed."
The heaven that appeared slowly disappeared, and violent thunder covered the sky.
On this day, believers of various religions in the world of Toril heard the angry voices of their own gods.
Mortals refused to become gods and mocked them.
This kind of thing is the greatest humiliation to the gods.
A terrible disaster is about to befall Toril.
"Crazy, all crazy."
Su Mo saw this scene, opened the portal and left directly.
The Emperor was a madman, and those who followed him became madmen too.
They are so arrogant that they want to challenge the gods!!
These damn idiots, don’t they know how terrifying gods are?
"Congratulations, Gale, you made a wise choice." Malcador walked to Gale's side, "If you choose to become a god, you may not be able to fly to heaven, and you will fall because of the wrath of our Lord."
"So it's still a test?" Gale scratched his head.
“You must prove yourself worthy.” Malcador wet his tongue with a finger and traced a rune on Gale’s robe. “Symbols have meanings. Do not forget your origins, Gale.”
"I know." Gail nodded.
Melkor, the god of death, and the Mastermind were defeated.
Orin Scarlet and General Thom were killed, and Enver was captured.
The Church of the Supreme True God was uprooted, and its followers were either killed or captured.
The Moonrise Tower was completely controlled by the Emperor and others.
While searching the vicinity, the Emperor and others made an unexpected discovery.
At the bottom of the Moonrise Tower, it is connected to the Shadow Realm, where the Moon Goddess, Selune's daughter, the Nightsong Irene, is imprisoned.
This guy has some unclear relationship with Pastor Isabel.
The Emperor asked if he was willing to help him.
Dark Night Song shook his head and refused.
The rejected emperor did not fly into a rage or make things too difficult for the other party.
After sealing the power of Nightsong, he released her.
As long as it does not interfere with his plans, the emperor has always been very tolerant and kind.
After a brief rest at the Moonrise Tower, he ordered his army to march towards Baldur's Gate.
Baldur's Gate is the largest city-state in the Sword Coast region of Toril.
It is also the most prosperous and influential commercial city on the west coast of Faerun.
Its highest ruling body is the four-member council, which is affiliated with the Lords Alliance.
The Emperor wants to completely control the Sword Coast, use its resources to complete the cause of unifying Toril, and then launch a war to conquer other planes.
This is not just to establish a magical version of the human empire in an alien universe.
In order to change the predetermined fate of the universe, he obtained the Volume of Nether [Part 2] and more magical knowledge.
"The Iron Guard will serve you, my lord."
Being taken prisoner, Enver spinelessly chose to surrender and join the Emperor's team.
This guy has the most powerful Iron Warden force in Baldur's Gate at his command.
His surrender caused Baldur's Gate to lose half of its power before the battle even started.
With Enver's internal and external cooperation, the Emperor easily captured Baldur's Gate.
Some guys couldn't see the situation clearly and wanted to resist, but they were suppressed right away.
"Your duty is over." The Emperor walked into the city hall and announced to the four council members who had different expressions.
"This place is not so easy to control." The highest leader of the Flaming Fist, High Duke Urd Ravengard, the head of the Council of Four, said to the Emperor, "Countless forces are watching this place. Do you think you can rest easy just because you control Baldur City?"
The Emperor smiled and said, "They will soon turn their gaze to see when my sword will fall on their heads."
After saying this, he waved his hand and ordered his men to expel the four dukes.
At the same time, martial law was declared and troops were sent to sweep various parts of the city.
Abolish the killer's guild, the thieves' guild, and other things that cannot be displayed in the open.
At the same time, a large-scale and bloody crackdown was carried out on those so-called gangs.
Perturabo was in charge of this.
There are some fools who seek to challenge the Emperor's authority.
But Perturabo soon let these people know what it meant that the Lord of Mankind must not be offended.
The bright red blood dyed the chaotic downtown area red.
The many gangs that were fighting each other felt what real fear and killing were.
Without any further ado, Perturabo led his troops to massacre the gangs and hung the heads of the rebel leaders at the street corners.
Even the gangs that raised the white flag in surrender were not let off easily.
The surrendered gang members were driven together and beaten to death.
Out of ten people, one will draw the death lot.
The nine people who draw the live lot must beat that person to death with their bare hands.
Bloody massacres and brutal repression quickly crushed the counterattacks of gangs and trade unions.
It makes everyone silent and unable to muster the slightest desire to resist.
Once the lower city was stabilized, the emperor ordered taxes to be levied on the nobles in order to gain enough wealth to recruit soldiers and develop military industry.
The wealth of the rich and powerful was plundered.
In front of the blood-stained swords, the nobles readily handed over everything and declared that they did it voluntarily.
Controlling a city is an extremely easy task for the emperor.
What's more, there is the help of Malcador and the three primarchs.
Baldur's Gate rapidly underwent tremendous changes under his rule.
The emperor squandered the wealth that the nobles had spent thousands of years to accumulate.
He built foundries, promoted legal reforms, and formed an army.
Scholars were called together to study how to use magic to improve productivity and create various magical equipment for civilian or military use.
Baldur's Gate developed rapidly.
Magnificent steel factories popped up like mushrooms after rain.
The towering chimneys were emitting billowing black smoke.
The roaring machines work day and night, and rows of assembly lines continuously produce weapons and equipment.
Young children were stuffed into the army and given magical transformations and implants.
In the shortest possible time, become a strong professional and serve in the army.
The remaining men and women were stuffed into factories to become cogs in the huge war machine.
The changes in Baldur's Gate have cast the shadow of war over every country in Faerun.
The first to react was the Lords Alliance.
Baldur's Gate was originally a city under the Lords' Alliance.
The Emperor's invasion of Baldur's Gate and his seizure of control was undoubtedly a blatant provocation to them.
Soon, the lords represented by the Silvermoon City royal family - the famous magic family - the Silver Hand Family issued a call.
Silvermoon City, Neverwinter City, Waterdeep City, and the Dwarf Kingdom joined forces to attack Baldur's Gate.
To bring Baldur's Gate back under the rule of the Lords' Alliance.
The four expelled dukes and the nobles who escaped from Baldur's Gate joined the coalition.
They vowed to take back everything that belonged to them.
When the two forces were on the verge of a war.
The situation in the continent of Faerun has also undergone major changes.
Perhaps it was the Emperor's arrogance that provoked the gods, and they decided to bring down various disasters to let the Emperor know the power of the gods.
It could also be that a change in predetermined destiny caused a chain reaction.
An adventuring party accidentally released the Dragon Queen, Tiamat, into the Material Plane.
They rescued a cursed boy from the Dragon Cult and sent him to the residence of the golden dragon Auriel, hoping that the dragon could help the boy get rid of the curse.
The Golden Dragon Auriel gladly accepted the challenge.
However, the curse within the boy was the result of a conspiracy by the Dragon Queen, Tiamat.
When the golden dragon absorbed the curse, the Dragon Queen - Tiamat forcibly took over Auriel's body and was reborn in the Prime Material Plane.
Dragon Queen - Tiamat is one of the most powerful gods, the Queen of Chaos, the source of evil, and the mother of five-colored dragons.
The first queen of the Githyanki made a contract with Tiamat.
After the adventure team was severely damaged, the Dragon Queen Tiamat left there and wreaked havoc in the continent of Faerun, summoning her followers and the five-colored dragons, preparing to set off a great turmoil.
The large-scale Mind Flayer Snail Shell Ship also crossed from the Eternal Void and was about to arrive at the world of Toril.
Some Githyanki heard that the first queen's biological children were on the planet Toril, and they were also gathering, preparing to open the star gate to fight for them.
Underground creatures - dark elves, spider monsters and other groups also began to try to come to the surface, expand their territory and plunder wealth.
At the same time, the great devil in the abyss of hell is also opening a passage to the main material world, preparing for a large-scale invasion.
It is conceivable that the world of Toril will be a turbulent place for some time to come.
The situation is becoming increasingly tense, like a bowstring being stretched tighter and tighter.
A small conflict eventually caused the line to break.
The Emperor and the Alliance of Lords are at war.
A huge horn sounded on the battlefield.
The Emperor sent out a large number of magic puppets, iron guards, and suspended magic ships.
With the promotion of the Core of Misera, these expensive magical creations became cheap and became assembly line products.
If the floating city was not still under construction, the emperor would have planned to use the floating city to crush the Lord Alliance.
If we don't open the eyes of these country bumpkins here, they won't know how to fight a magic war! !
This is a completely unequal war.
The Lords' Alliance also relies on the cooperation of professionals and ordinary troops to fight a magical version of a medieval war.
The Emperor, on the other hand, has already entered the era of magical high technology, with all his forces deployed by land, sea and air.
The fifty-meter-tall magic puppets, under the control of the wizard, raised their hands, and huge magic halos appeared in front of them.
Destructive beams of light burst out from the halo, fell to the ground, and caused explosions in patches.
The Iron Guard's iron body is engraved with countless arcane runes that can reduce physical damage and magical attacks.
They marched in neat steps, charging towards the army of the Lords' Alliance, brandishing heavy weapons and beating the enemies within the attack range into a pulp.
The magic spaceship extended its magic cannons, and as the magic array lit up, it shot beams of light towards the ground.
A group of cavalrymen were hit by the beam and were instantly wiped out.
The remaining limbs were extremely charred and emitted a foul smell.
"This is not a war at all, it's a massacre."
The highest leader of the Flaming Fist, the High Duke who was expelled from Baldur's Gate, looked at the battlefield that had turned into hell with despair on his face.
The same was true for other generals of the coalition forces.
They saw no hope of victory, and their soldiers were sacrificing their lives and shedding their blood in vain.
The war took a long time to prepare, but ended quickly.
The Empire's legions easily crushed the Lords' Alliance's army.
The battlefield was littered with broken corpses, and the rivers were dyed red with blood.
The Lords' Alliance suffered a crushing defeat, with only one tenth of their assembled army left.
"Let's start conquering the world."
The Emperor did not pause, but ordered his army to continue advancing.
He wants to swallow up the entire Sword Coast, then the continent of Faerûn, and finally the entire planet of Toril.
