"Siegel, can you tell me what you think of Waterdeep City?" His Majesty Evan suddenly changed the subject, from the Wall of Storms and the Mage Association to the Northern Pearl of the New World.

Or more accurately, the Pearl of the North in the New World.

During the Elven Wars, Waterdeep was hit hard. The guards and mercenaries of the Masked Council were almost wiped out, and the Three Peaks Pagoda of the Federation of Mages was also destroyed by the onslaught of the elemental surge. As the elven army prepared to take over the city with the War Tree, the Jackdaw tribe from the steppe launched a second attack. Although the main target of the attack was the elves, after the rout, the Jackdaw tribe ransacked Waterdeep once again.

Siegel of Heimland also got a big share of it.

Many people say that this behavior is robbery and downfall, and Siegel never distinguishes. No matter what the Jackdaw tribe and Heimland do, the elves have already captured Waterdeep, so the fate of the city will not change. The only difference is the identity of the occupiers and the actions they will take.

The elves will not fight this battle in vain. According to their previous practice, all human residents must take their food on board, leave their homeland, and return to the Eastern Continent. The rest of the city will be dismantled by them like ants dismembering corpses, and turned into a world of trees and flowers.

The Knox Common will try to avoid this by controlling the orc army south. If it wasn't for Siegel's prediction of this step, and the early sniping with Kerry in the Walled Mountains, the damage caused by the orcs might be far greater than that of the elves. The Knox Commons only think about whether they can win or not, how much care can they have for the residents of Waterdeep? If the orcs entered Waterdeep, the inhabitants of the city might even just want to get on a boat and leave.

The relationship between the tribes on the grasslands and Waterdeep City is complicated. It has been more than a hundred years of fighting and harmony. After four or five generations, it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong. When Waterdeep was captured. After the Jackdaw tribe finished fighting the orcs and drove away the elves, who would they hand over to the city? The masked lords have lost their power. The city garrison and the remaining mercenaries have lost control and have become house-to-house robbers. The giant Kerry led the men who paid blood and sweat. Unless he does not want to continue to be the Khan King of the tribes, he must not return empty-handed.

All Siegel can do is to persuade Kerry to take the valuables away, not to kill people, that's all he can do.

The people of Waterdeep feel that Siegel is their pioneering knight and baron, and should protect them and be a savior. Such hope is understandable. The people of the Jackdaw tribe leave. When Siegel arrived with his army, some thought he would be the new lord of Waterdeep. But the civic council is still the civic council, and the masked lords still use the new body to enforce the old rule, just as the mages use the city advisors to participate in politics. Therefore, Siegel handed over the Baron of Waterdeep and the pioneering knight, and people regretted it and did not understand. He later heard that he shared the property of Waterdeep with the Jackdaw tribe, and cursed and abused him.

Who is right and who is wrong? Neither Waterdeep nor Siegel are right, but both are good. If Siegel was a teacher at that time, he would have a Myr core. With magic ships, railguns and spider golem troops, he can stop orcs and elves at the same time. To avoid the destruction of Waterdeep, and to compete with Kasper Division, and even to protect the Mages Association, but history has no such. Siegel was able to dodge and move around. When the elves had not withdrawn from the siege of Heimland, he traveled thousands of miles to support him. At the same time, he could not light up his army, so as to ensure that he could continue to confront the elves in the future. How many options?

Waterdeep cursed him. He is not welcome, and the inhabitants of Heimland are excluded. These Siegels can understand. There are actually a lot of things in it that someone helped fuel the flames in the civic council to form this "consensus" in Waterdeep. So for a long time. The residents of Waterdeep ignore the fact that it was the masked lord who did not hold the city, and that Siegel was the lord of Heim, not of Waterdeep.

However, this fuelling helped them stay in power, and after setting up a foreign enemy, they also naturally began to prevent Heimland's products from entering the waterdeep market in order to protect their own workshops and income. In addition, after the rise of Haim Ling, they robbed them of the title of the first port in the New World, which made the reconstruction of Waterdeep City very slow, and the living standards of the original wealthy businessmen have not been fully restored. The rich merchants and the masked lords were unhappy, the Speaker was unhappy, and the civic council would also be unhappy, so after the Elf War, Heimland and Waterdeep had little contact, and Siegel seldom cared about the movement of Waterdeep. This kind of thing is usually something Janet is worried about. She never said to Siegel: "Come and see, something has changed in Waterdeep", so Siegel didn't know how to answer His Majesty Evan's question.

"To be honest, I really can't tell." Siegel shrugged his shoulders and gave His Majesty a smile: "I have very little friendship with Waterdeep, and you know that they didn't feel comfortable when they gave me that Waterdeep Baron and Pioneering Knight. What a kind heart. I accept the pioneer knights, on the one hand, because I completed their task and burned the Macabda - the stronghold of the orc navy, which I deserved, and secondly, I really need the title of pioneer knight to expand territory."

Evan picked up his glass and took a sip, listening to him continue. According to Siegel, Waterdeep is a very philistine, more calculating place. There is no way to deal with knights, and bargaining is the norm. The mages of the Federation have rich feelings and memories when they talk about the Three Peaks Pagoda, but the impression of Waterdeep City is that it is a "market for buying and selling things". "My opinion is that they have no benefit and will never come to you."

His Majesty the King nodded, "They want to give up their independent self-government status and return to the rule of the Starry Kingdom." Evan touched his chin and said to Siegel, "They reported this matter directly to my uncle Kai. Duke Ray Starry, with his sincere words, took the initiative to ask the royal family to send a noble above an earl to manage Waterdeep City, and they are willing to become an earldom."

Hearing this, Siegel paused for a long time before he said, "This is a good thing. Although it takes time to take over this city and turn it into a counties, there is nothing to lose to the royal family. Waterdeep City still has a lot of specialties, and it is not far from the City Wall Mountains to the north, and they also have trade with the grassland tribes, so it is not a loss-making territory."

"In principle, there is no problem with this matter. The royal family and I have basically agreed. The question now is just who to send over." Evan glanced at Wiki and said to Siegel: "In Waterdeep, who can cooperate? Who might cause trouble, there is roughly an investigation here, no matter which earl went in the past, he will not fight alone. But the problem now is..."

His Majesty the King's expression was calm and cautious, he only said the first half of the sentence and then remained silent. The Chief Intelligence Officer waited a few seconds, then knew it was time for him to interface. So he lowered his head slightly, and then said to Siegel: "At the same time, Waterdeep City sent a letter for help. They believe that the Jackdaw tribe plans to attack Waterdeep City again, and hope that the kingdom can provide support."

Siegel blinked, shocked by the news. "Are there any spies over there in the Jackdaw Tribe? Can you know the exact situation?"

"They are indeed mobilizing their troops and planning a battle, but the target is still unknown." Vicki rubbed his hands, and an apologetic smile flashed across his face. "It's hard for my kitten to do much in the horseman's territory. The news that comes back is all kinds of strange and not very accurate. So now many situations can only rely on speculation. I can only say that the situation is not good, and Waterdeep has been attacked. is very likely.”

"They can't hit anywhere!" There was a hint of anger in Evan's tone. "Heim led them to be unable to beat them, and they were unwilling to fight; the terrain of Mora's top made them invincible, and the horsemen had no way to do so; It's not a choice. The rest of the hub is my Star Kingdom's territory. If the prairie people attack the hub, it will also challenge the Star Kingdom. Soon, the same is true for Waterdeep City, the kingdom's territory!"

"It could also be the orcs north of the Walled Mountains," Siegel explained. "The Jackdaw tribe has a small territory north of the Walled Mountains. They invaded the northern orc territory and established a bridgehead for planting and gathering tribes. Maybe there What went wrong."

Evan frowned and thought for a while, then sighed: "As soon as you said I remembered, there is such a thing. What you said is also a possibility."

"If Waterdeep faces such a threat, why doesn't UU read www.uukanshu.com come to me?" Siegel said: "They have been scolding me for many years, and they naturally know that I have a lot of contacts with the Jackdaw tribe, and I have a lot of things to do. Even if they don’t trust me to send troops to help again, they should be able to think that I can mediate and maybe avoid trouble. I have seen with my own eyes that the ships of some wealthy merchants in Waterdeep City can also reach the orc city. Makabuda does business, even when the orc pirates are often robbing their merchant ships. They don't come to me, but they go around in such a big circle and give away their territories, I think something is strange. "

"I feel the same way. These people in Waterdeep City should not be underestimated." Evan said: "Remember what happened to Aaron in Waterdeep City? How can the masked lords laugh under the cover of masks! If not Taking care of Aaron is the most important thing, and I really wanted to hack them all to death! Aaron was a king until the end of his life, and only fell down in Waterdeep."

"I know" Siegel shook his head: "Bullying tired and weak people in exchange for the feeling of self-inflation, those masked lords are too bad."

"These are all things that need to be calculated." Evan said: "At the same time, the Kerry of the Jackdaw tribe has already called himself the king, not the king of Khan. Is his problem also calculated? ?" (To be continued.)
