Spellcasting Heavens

People who have never experienced being constantly harassed by raids will never understand the feeling of being on tenterhooks all the time, let alone how terrifying it is to be physically and mentally tortured in this state.

In particular, a long section of the road from Waterdeep City to Neverwinter passes through a narrow strip of land called the Sword Mountains, as well as the Swamp of the Dead that is filled with rich negative energy, which provides a natural cover for launching a surprise attack.

In addition, the Orc Wolf Cavalry was not a lawful good camp. In order to confuse the mages who monitored every move around them through magic, they even plundered dozens of surrounding villages, gathering the villagers together and driving them in the direction of the coalition forces.

If the opponent is very alert and responds in time, then they will choose to give up the attack, retreat and wait for the next opportunity.

But if the opponent does not respond immediately, then they will use these innocent farmers to break up the team, launch a violent attack on the coalition soldiers, and use scorching glue to set fire to the carriages filled with grain, grass and baggage.

As a result, the march that was originally less than five days ended up taking half a month, and every soldier was exhausted, and their morale basically dropped to freezing point.

The insidious and cunning Luskan only lost more than 400 orc wolf cavalry, causing the enemy to suffer a lot before the war officially began. At the same time, the accompanying mages also had no choice because they needed to use magic to monitor the surroundings 24 hours a day. Get enough sleep.

Looking at these poor people who had set up camp five kilometers outside Neverwinter City, Zhang Cheng stood on the city wall, pursed his lips and joked in a playful tone: Unbelievable! I should admire the courage of the Waterdeep City coalition forces. Or should we laugh at their stupidity and ignorance? In their current state, I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand even one round of fierce attacks and will collapse on their own first.

No, my master, you underestimate the resilience of this group of self-proclaimed righteous and kind people. It doesn't matter if morale is low. As long as there are enough priests, mages and bards, a few minutes can turn cowards into warriors. In addition, it is said that the mage group of Waterdeep City has also been dispatched, and they are the real threat. Valindra gently stroked his beloved staff, with strong fear in his eyes.

As the two places with the highest concentrations of high-level mages in the entire North, Waterdeep City and Silvermoon City have always been the biggest enemies of the original Arcane Brotherhood.

It was precisely because of their strong suppression that Luskan's expansion plans failed time and time again.

But today, the Light of Mystery, rebuilt from the corpse of the Arcane Brotherhood, will have the opportunity to severely damage the mages of Waterdeep City, letting everyone in the world know that the Light of Mystery is the most powerful organization of spellcasters in the North. .

Don't worry, my dear, be patient. Until the show starts,

We also have an appetizer, which is to go to the enemy's camp to make an alliance in person.

While saying this, Zhang Cheng did not forget to turn around and wink at Aribes, who was standing not far away, and the shapeshifting officers behind her.

In order to confuse the enemy, this woman who exudes an astonishing evil aura has put on a brand new silver-white armor, and under the infusion of sacred energy, she gives people a feeling of being both sacred and holy.

Unless someone suddenly uses magic or magic like detecting alignment, there is absolutely no way anyone will associate it with evil.

But Aribes obviously didn't like these sacred energies that made her feel sick at all. She frowned subconsciously and asked in an uncertain tone: Are you sure you want me to lead the army to join the Waterdeep City coalition forces and then conclude an agreement? Covenant?

Zhang Cheng smiled and nodded: Of course! Why not? Think about it, when those poor guys tried their best to think that they could win, but the closest allies behind them suddenly switched sides and launched a fatal blow from behind, then This kind of psychological blow is absolutely incomparable to any frontal suppression. I need to collapse Waterdeep and make those soldiers feel fear from the bottom of their hearts. Only in this way will their souls after death be extremely painful and desperate. Go, go Finish this matter for me, and then the entire citizens of Neverwinter will belong to you, whether you want to massacre the city or make them pay for what they have done.

I understand! This is a deal, right? Aribes raised her chin slightly, her eyes still full of anger and hatred.

Yes, this is a deal. Zhang Cheng replied in the affirmative without thinking.

Deal! I will follow your orders.

Without saying a word, Aribes turned around and took the 2,500 Neverwinter soldiers controlled by the shapeshifters. They opened the city gate and marched toward the Waterdeep coalition camp.

Looking at the joyful expressions on the faces of the completely unaware soldiers, Valindra suddenly said: Are you sure those soldiers will obey the order and attack from behind their close allies for many years?

It doesn't matter whether they obey orders or not! As long as Aribes and the shapeshifter officers launch an attack, the coalition soldiers will believe it. At that time, ordinary soldiers will become the target of being coerced, no matter whether they are willing or not, even if they want to avoid being killed. Even if they die, they will desperately attack their surrounding allies. On the battlefield, soldiers' emotions are often prone to overexcitement, and any distrust will be infinitely amplified, eventually forming a herd effect. When the most important thing is, don't you feel that you are with Doesn’t it sound interesting to form an alliance with one’s enemies?”

As usual, Zhang Cheng's plan is both dark and sinister, constantly touching the bottom line of human nature and trying to expose the hypocrisy of those kind-hearted people.

No reason!

No reason!

There is no purpose!

The reason why he did this was because he felt that the world should be like this, instead of shouting ridiculous slogans such as equality, freedom, justice, and democracy while desperately practicing double standards in secret.

How can a race that is divided into three, six or nine grades based on genetic differences, intellectual development and physical fitness from birth have any real equality?

Even without the interference of acquired factors, people are born unequal.

Although it sounds ironic, this is the cruel fact.

What many people think of as social progress is actually human beings using their own wisdom to resist the natural law of survival and elimination, and then use this to prove that they are the spirit of all things and a special existence higher than most animals.

But they did not notice that on the surface, human beings rebelled against the laws of nature, but in fact they themselves were experiencing the consequences of rebelling against the laws of nature.

For example, after a complete welfare system is established, the more highly educated people are, the less willing they are to have offspring because they know how much time, money and energy it takes to raise an outstanding offspring. On the contrary, people with little education are desperately trying to have children, consuming a large amount of social resources for no reason, resulting in the terrible phenomenon of bad money driving out good money...
