Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 916 The War Begins - Arriving at Calimshan
The magic ship of the undead sailed very fast without stopping all the way. It went directly to Calimshan, the southernmost point of the Sword Coast, and then bypassed Memnon and Calimport in the desert... Vulcan blamed Memnon for being kind. The names of the two great gods and monsters, Kalin, show the importance of these two places.

When they escaped from the Menon crystal that had imprisoned them for nearly 1 years, the Kalin Desert between the two places became a paradise for the gods and monsters to fight with each other... Obviously, they came from the land. The main battlefield of the battle is also here.

Speaking of which, the Karin Desert used to be a place where bandits from various predator factions ravaged wildly, but now, if these bandits don't hide fast enough, they can only become slaves and cannon fodder of gods and monsters... Gods and monsters They will not kill these people directly. In their memory, humans are their slaves... Even if some of them have disguised themselves as humans before, they have lived in Calimshan for thousands of years.

The fleet that bypassed Carlin Port sailed on the Sea of ​​Glory. The crystal-clear blue waters attracted a large number of undead people standing on the side of the ship to watch... Especially now that it is late at night, in the recent particularly bright silver Under the moonlight, the sea water glows with crystal clear light, and the sky full of stars is reflected on the sea surface. From time to time, there are beautiful big fish breaking out of the water between the stars, and falling down softly.

The Sea of ​​Glory is indeed the most famous viewing area in Faerun. It is really beautiful... Hill understands the undead people's praise and lingering for this beautiful scenery. The whirlpool, maybe it will stop to watch it.

But the undead fleet did not stay long in the Sea of ​​Glory. They bypassed all the cities that were still inhabited, as well as Mansaka, the current capital of Karinshan, and directly arrived at the city that had been destroyed by the war of gods and monsters. The city of Suldover located at the mouth of the Lake of Steam.

This city is the testimony of Calimshan trying to reach out to the Lake of Steam area. The original territory of this country is actually on the west side of the Almir Mountains...so this triangular area extending from the mountains is not as full of Karin as other places Shan's style... is instead a sanctuary for the learned and a center for the study of magic.

So although the civilians in Suldover City were almost completely wiped out, there was still a fortress controlled by scholars and mages in the middle... Of course they knew that the followers of Amaunata were trying to save the entire Calimshan, but it is conceivable that These scholars and mages who knew what the real history was like, even if they were surrounded by gods and monsters and had a hard time surviving, they would never ask for help from the followers of the Sun God.

No one wants to have anything to do with Amaunata... Especially the mages, if it weren't for the primordial power that drove all the high-level devils out of Toril, they would rather turn to the devil for help.

Fortunately, one of the scholars here got in touch with Lynn... Weaver Pasha, the owner of the fortress of order called the Amrevan Fortress, quickly used this new information channel to report to Aglay Ya sent an invitation letter, hoping to accompany the goblins to rebuild the undead in Calimshan to temporarily live in the city of Suldover.

Even though the city is burned to the ground, at least it's big enough... and free of nasty scum.

These were the exact words of that letter. Both Hill and Lynn sensed the scum in the mouths of these mages... Who exactly were they scolding.

After all, the gods and monsters are still besieging their fortress!

On the giant screen in the garden on the roof of the floating castle, these fire elves that are madly attacking have already appeared.

Holding his elf jug, Hill sat down on the couch under Lily of the Valley again... He stayed here for a long time, and Liszt replaced the couch with a more comfortable sofa.

Although Hill felt like a bit of an alcoholic...he used to drink it with juice, but he really needed the refreshing, calming qualities of elf wine to stabilize his mood.

"Why are they all Vulcan monsters? There's water all around here! Why don't they stay in the desert? Isn't there an enemy already here?" Selûne asked Hill puzzled, this lady is really, when there is excitement Always be the first to arrive.

Hill thought she had no interest in Calimshan at first... After all, she acted very disliked Amaunata.

Speaking of which, in the life-and-death battle between Shar and Selûne, although the mother of the earth, Chauntia, also shrank... But she did lose control of the entire land because of Shar's anger, and the remaining priesthood She is almost equivalent to the goddess of agriculture, so she uses eternal neutrality as her veil, and rarely appears in front of people.

But Amaunata is different. He chose not to help Shar and Selûne... although he was born only because of Selûne's protection.

Most importantly, because of Amaunata's negligence and arrogance, Mystra, the first goddess of magic, fell... This powerful divine power, who was born in the battle between Shar and Selûne, was the only one standing in Selûne. Be there to support her 'daughter'.

The reason why Selûne has always tolerated Mystra's voters using her divine fire is because of her nostalgia for Mystra... No matter how Mystra changes, it still has a part of Mystra.

Isn't she dissatisfied with Midnight because this goddess has been denying the part of Mystra in herself?
Even Shar is actually the same... It's not like she didn't have the chance to kill her predecessor Mystra before, but she was not as decisive as this time... When Shar created shadow magic, Mystra had a chance to stop her , but this overly soft-hearted goddess chose to turn a blind eye.

Although she stood on the side of Selûne, it was only because Shar wanted to kill the Moon Maiden, and it didn't mean that she had no feelings for her other mother.

Hill can feel that Shar is not completely ungrateful... Even if she has been in a state of hostility, it does not mean that she does not recognize the existence of Mystra.

The hostility of these two towards Amana Tower is almost never concealed... So why did AO revive Amaana Tower?
I don't want Shar and Selûne to continue fighting, so give them a common goal?Coupled with Mystra, who is bound to avenge a part of herself, what will the days after Amagnatar's return be like?

"Because of the summons after the return of Kalin and Menon, many Calimshan residents who used to look like humans abandoned their long-term disguise and exposed their identities as gods and monsters. Although they are only the successors of elemental power, as long as they swear If I am loyal to Vulcan or Qishen, the two big monsters will accept them as members of the gods and monsters." Hill calmed down and gently relayed the information sent by the harpist.

"What does it mean to abandon the disguise? And swear allegiance? If they are gods and monsters, why do they need to swear!" Selûne quickly grasped the point.

"It means that those elementalists in Calimshan have completely given up their human blood and transformed into gods and monsters." Shar also came, "This is not very normal, human beings will always kneel down to powerful forces."

"Not all human beings are like this." Selûne retorted intuitively, "Look at Hill when you speak, and think about that William... Whether they have elven blood or ascend to the throne of God, they have never denied human beings. identity.

How uncomfortable it is for you to say that!And that William, you did hurt him even if you couldn't hear our conversation! "

The human Hill, who was used as an excuse, didn't say a word... As long as humans are used to things like map guns... Race, region, and gender can all be shot, and he has long been numb.

Shar paused for a few minutes, probably thinking about what Selûne said... To be honest, Hill didn't think that the goddess of the night would think about him, all the silence could only be for William... Hill could always feel that, I am the crow of Aiwujiwu.

Then he heard the blunt words of the goddess of the night: "Hill and William are not that stupid, and they will never scold themselves... It's different from you."

Selûne laughed briskly: "Actually, you just need to add Toril before humans? Hill and William are not Toril.

Hehe~ Dear sister, why are you always obsessed with these completely unnecessary things? "

"Probably because I have a relatively high IQ." Shar replied bluntly.

Selûne didn't mind at all when Shar said that she had a higher IQ than her, and that was the truth... To her, it wasn't insulting at all... It wasn't that she didn't have an IQ, that was an insult.

The battle mode of the undead this time is very simple... After they knew who their opponent was, most of the family mages spent money to transfer their attributes... William once again completed the task of recovering gold coins, and almost all of them were spent on In addition to the special products and gifts purchased from Vera, there are mainly nectar and gems... There seems to be an assembly line processing factory inside the time-space artifact, so a new round of updates to the equipment of the undead began after this underground war.

Although he didn't know much, William still achieved the normal circulation of currency according to the most basic economic policies... Hill felt that he couldn't do it.

The huge screen instantly turned into a world of ice and snow, the big ship of the undead disappeared immediately, the sea was frozen into ice, and countless blizzards rushed directly towards the Vulcan monsters raging in the coastal cities... On the fortress besieged by them, black and golden The earth magic defense cover is already crumbling.

Although Hill knew that the fortress controlled by mages was not so easy to break through, he still breathed a sigh of relief for them... The defensive shield should be maintained by Weaver Pasha, and it has an obvious Calinthian magic style. .This spell is powerful, but it drains the user's life force, and it can only be used in the city he guards... It is not for nothing that pashas are the rulers of Calimshan.

If time goes by, Weaver Pasha's strength will gradually weaken until he loses his life. This Pasha is really desperate.

　Lin Shan's government is composed of a hierarchical government.The largest of these governments is located in the capital, Calimport.Each city is imitating the imperfect system of the capital to build its own system.At the top of every hierarchy there was a pasha.Laran el Persahar the Great Pasha was the supreme ruler who lived in the magnificent palace of Calimport, and he never received any guests, not even a god.The Grand Vizier may listen to important matters, but this is one of the greatest flaws in Calimshan's government.Like the great pasha, the nearby pashas divided power among their sultans.These sultans delegated their authority to a vizier who was solely responsible for law and order.These sultans or princes also empowered the consuls to deal with civil matters such as water conservancy, roads or construction.
