Casting spells

He felt that these things were like sweet spring water, giving him an unprecedented joy, and after the joy, the manic emotions were quickly suppressed, and reason once again took over.

"This...how is this possible! You...you actually controlled the sea monster?!"

A middle-aged man dressed as a captain clutched the cable tightly, completely oblivious to the fact that his nails had been split due to too much force.

The navy that Waterdeep City is proud of is no different from a piece of paper in front of a huge sea monster. It can be broken with a light poke, and it is scattered in the blink of an eye. Except for the flagship, the rest has sunk to the bottom of the sea , or in the process of sinking.

As for the mages accompanying the ship, those who were able cast teleportation spells early to escape the purgatory-like scene in front of them, while those who were incapable followed the ship and became snacks for sea monsters.

"Hahahaha! How is it? It's unbelievable, right? Remember, this is the power of the Crystal Shard. Please send a word to the Waterdeep City Council, either surrender at the feet of Akram Gris, or be defeated by his invincible The power is crushed. Well, today's conversation ends here, I will take this noble lady away first, you better give an answer within a week, otherwise we will dig out the other lords one by one and announce them on public."

After saying the villain's standard line, Zhang Cheng soared into the air, turned into a giant black dragon, grabbed the woman and flew towards Ian's flagship.

I don't know whether it was affected by the annihilation of the entire army, or was shocked by the huge reminder of the black dragon. In short, no one dared to stand up to stop it, or try to rescue the captured lord.

A full minute later, the old mage who spoke just now took a deep breath, and said with a serious face: "Everyone! We don't have time to be sad and depressed! We must send this news back to Waterdeep City immediately! The broken magic crystal is not an ordinary Magic items! The wars it unleashes often cause unimaginable devastation."

"That's right! We must stop Luskan's ambitions! Master Gris, please use the teleportation magic to return to the deep water immediately..."

Before the other mage could finish his sentence, the hull suddenly shook violently, followed by thick tentacles covered with suction cups and quickly rushed out of the sea.

"Not good! Master, leave us alone, let's go!"

"You must take the news back!"

"Oil! Pour the oil!"

……

Chapter 459 The Curtain Comes to an End

Amid the chaos and ear-piercing screams, the last flagship of the Waterdeep fleet was also slowly dragged into the water by the giant octopus.

Although the sailors and soldiers fought hard, and even cut off two tentacles abruptly with magic, kerosene and swords, they still did not escape the fate of death in the end.

To be exact, Zhang Cheng had no intention of letting them go. When the old mage cast a super-long-distance teleportation spell and disappeared on the deck, Xini controlled one of the giant octopuses to launch the final attack.

In less than five or ten minutes from the start of the station to the end, the largest and most well-equipped Navy of Waterdeep City in the Sword Coast region disappeared completely, leaving only a piece of wooden barrels, masts and broken boards floating on the sea.

As for the guys who fell into the water, they were all swallowed up by the huge sea monsters cruising under the sea surface, not even a single bone residue remained.

"Gods above!"

Such a horrifying and tragic scene, not to mention the pirates who didn't know it at all, even Ian couldn't help shivering, looking at Sydney with surprise and fear in his eyes.

"Humph!"

There was a smug gleam in the female apprentice's eyes, she quickly tightened her hood and continued to maintain her cold and tall posture.

To some extent, her ability is almost synonymous with invincibility in this sea, except for the gods and a very few deep-sea races. Even if the powerful ancient dragon is dragged into the water and besieged by so many sea monsters, it may be a disaster. few.

Of course, if anyone can get past the protection of the huge waves and sea monsters and come directly to Xini, it is possible to kill her successfully.

In any case, her current attainment in magic is only at the level of an advanced apprentice, which is far from enough to deal with all kinds of complicated emergencies. Otherwise, Zhang Cheng would have used the terrifying power of the Queen of the Deep Sea to give the city of Neverwinter a direct blow. An impressive lesson with Waterdeep.

After all, the saddest thing about being a coastal city is that it will never be able to withstand the impact of huge waves and tsunamis.

Perhaps powerful spellcasters can escape with the power of magic, but most ordinary people cannot leave. Once they are all dead, the city cannot be called a city.

However, Zhang Cheng obviously will not use such a "big move" lightly. You must know that there are all kinds of gods in the Faerun Continent, and according to the progress of history, two years later will be the famous "Year of Turbulence". His Majesty Io, the God of God, will knock the gods down from the mortal world and walk as a saint.

If he really does such inhumane things, then the good gods and their believers will definitely come to "eliminate harm for the people".

Before confirming that he can compete with the gods, he must suppress all kinds of crazy "death" thoughts in his mind, especially the strong temptation and urge to kill the gods.

After finishing off the enemy's fleet, Zhang Cheng didn't stay on Ian's ship for too long. After ordering the integration of the remaining pirates and making an aggressive stance towards Waterdeep City, Zhang Cheng flew towards Luskan with the comatose female lord. go.

He knew very well that the woman he had captured was a big problem, a bomb that could explode at any moment.

Whether it is the lords of Waterdeep City, or the spies and assassins of the Harper Alliance, they will do their best to rescue them.

This also means that whoever captures him is tantamount to preparing to face the fierce counterattack of these two powerful organizations.

Zhang Cheng's purpose is very simple, that is to "give" this noble female lord to Deltagle, and then wait to see the two parties fight each other to the death, and then make up the last knife at the critical moment.

In fact, the desire for terrible destruction did not affect his intellect in the slightest.

On the contrary, it was this feeling of breaking the boundary between madness and rationality that caused his way of thinking to change drastically, becoming darker and more unscrupulous. The terrifying method that he would not use before now does not even burden his heart at all. No, everything is just to go beyond your own limit.

……

After a short flight, Zhang Cheng finally returned to the spire of the Arcane Brotherhood before dark.

But before he landed and changed back to human form, Deltagle, who had been waiting for a long time, came out to greet him with a big smile and opened his arms: "Welcome back! Respected Lord of the North Tower! Hero of Luskan!"

"Hehe, it seems that you already know the outcome of the naval battle." Zhang Cheng landed steadily on the ground, and while throwing the prisoner who was about to freeze to death to an apprentice, he changed back to human form.

As a world that has developed a magic system for tens of thousands of years, Faerun's spellcasters naturally have various investigative methods, among which prophecy spells can detect and predict future fragments, so he is not surprised at all that the other party knows Waterdeep City. The fact that the fleet was wiped out.

With the power of the mage tower, a positioned crystal ball can display everything that happened in that sea area in real time.

"Of course! Manipulating sea monsters! What a magical and powerful force! From today onwards, the entire west coast of the continent will become our sphere of influence. Please allow me to pay tribute to your contribution on behalf of the Arcane Brotherhood, and from today onwards, all roads You are in control of Skan's warships." Deltagle said beautifully in front of countless pairs of eyes.

At first glance, it sounds like the right to control all Luskan warships is great, but in reality?

In fact, being able to control sea monsters alone is enough to make the battleship useless. In addition, Ian has already integrated the remaining pirates, and almost all sea power in Luskan is under the control of Zhang Cheng. Did not pay.

Zhang Cheng is undoubtedly aware of this, and he bowed slightly calmly: "Thank you very much. Oh, by the way, I have captured a lord of Waterdeep City, and I will give it to you as a gift. If there is nothing else, I will I will go back to the North Tower first, there are still many interesting books and notes waiting for me to study."

"No problem, please go ahead." Del Tagle didn't know what he was thinking, and took the initiative to let go of the only entrance leading to the minaret.

After watching Zhang Cheng's back gradually disappear at the end of the corridor, a gloomy expression appeared on his face. Holding the broken magic crystal tightly, he murmured to himself in a voice only he could hear: "If you can control sea monsters, you can also control them." Breathing out scorching flames... Is this really something a black dragon can do? What is his purpose in coming to Luskan?"

With becoming the supreme leader of the Arcane Brotherhood, he no longer only knows to look up as before, but is more worried about the threat from behind.

After all, spellcasters who joined the Arcane Brotherhood were not good men and women. Once they had the opportunity, they would never let go of their plans to kill their bosses. The rebellion that happened not long ago was the best proof.

What's more, Deltagle couldn't understand at all why a dragon wanted to learn magic, why it wasn't greedy at all, and didn't even show the slightest interest in gold coins and jewelry...

Chapter 4 Sixty: The Location of the Final Battle—Neverwinter City

In the evening, in the private room on the top floor of the North Tower, Zhang Cheng was looking down on this city full of chaos and desire through the only window.

After a full minute, he turned around and asked the Moon Elf not far away: "So my army has reached the outskirts of Luskan?"

"Yes, master. You'd better find a way to deal with their food as soon as possible, otherwise this army will starve in a few days." Valindra quickly reminded.

"Don't worry, I've prepared enough food, and I'll send it to him if there's any food."
