"...Five days?" Emilia asked.
That's plenty of time.
Then Yin silently withdrew a finger.
"Huh?" The others were stunned.
Then, Yin took back another one: "Three."
"No, wait a minute!!!"
Ownership of the Sixty-Three Silver Flames
In Faerun, a major battle is about to break out and is inevitable.
The church of Bane, the god of tyranny, and many eastern kingdoms officially announced their joining of Cyre.
For the first time, the priests of the Pantheon of Fury are planning to do good things - as Cyrus expands everywhere, this evil church that takes pleasure in bringing natural disasters actually stands on Cyrus' side instead of colluding with the necromancers.
They even came up with a justifiable yet laughable reason: only the living can feel fear. If only necromancers and undead creatures were left in the world, who would they inflict fear on?
This shows how unpopular the school of necromancy is.
However, many churches also joined Sel's side for the same reason - they also needed to demonstrate the existence of God, but they believed that Sel could not win, so they would rather cause trouble for their enemies.
The troubled Sword Coast finally escaped the war at this point in time and was able to watch quietly as the continent of Faerun was turned upside down.
However, the Fury Pandits are unreliable allies; they might attack your enemies, but they won't hesitate to attack their allies. Their spells can destroy enemies with thunder, but they'll also destroy the surrounding forests.
The Green Court, who once joined in to resist the undead army of Sel, soon could no longer tolerate it - the druids were allies of the Wrath Pandora's House in a sense, and both liked to cause trouble for villages and towns where mortals lived.
However, they soon discovered that the madmen of the Fury God system would cause additional destruction when destroying the village: for example, lightning struck the forest, burning the forest, and mudslides destroyed the forest.
After several fierce conflicts and being beaten badly, Bilu Xianting announced its withdrawal from the temporary alliance formed by Quanzhi Duyi.
This situation made the Harpist Alliance's position even more embarrassing.
In reality, the Alliance was already on the brink of a split – the exclusion of Apodel Adrian and Imoen from the Harpers was a semi-public matter, a matter that was highly controversial within the Alliance. Jaheira, a close friend of both, was extremely unhappy about it.
However, standing across from the three of them was one of the Harpers' most important pillars, the All-Knowing One, a figure suspected to be a goddess of magic. Many Harpers found it difficult to understand why Apodel had refused to join the All-Knowing One.
——This makes this isolation closer and closer to division.
Jaheira remained with the Harpers because she feared that if she left, it would be less a sign of discontent than a surrender of the remaining Harpers.
The root of all this is that the All-Knowing One is using Mystra's appearance. And so far, no god familiar with the second generation goddess has come forward to identify her as an imposter.
Now, she is almost dominating the mortal world with the power of a god.
Jaheira worried about the future.
The Harpers now... are strange. At this moment, she could only confide in her former little sister, now her best friend. "The scale has expanded significantly, but their efficiency and combat effectiveness haven't been affected; they've only grown stronger. I don't know where they found so many new Harpers."
"You can relate this scene to the people of Elturgard in the past," her good friend, the Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate, said. "The people of Elturgard also experienced this inexplicable surge in power—one could even say it was riding that strange wave that allowed them to expand from a city-state to a full-fledged nation."
[Are you saying that all harpists nowadays are devils?]
"Otherwise, I can't think of a reason why the shapeshifters were expelled. So, I say again, you can stay in Cormyr, but you must stay in Cormyr and don't go any further south."
Not going south?
The suggestion made Jaheira shake his head in confusion.
At this moment, the omniscient and unique battle plan is to advance southwards.
The Red Mages of Cyre are based far to the east, making it difficult to launch an attack from their homeland. However, to attack Cyre from their homeland, they would have to cross the entirety of Faerûn.
At this moment, Sel's second stronghold has been built - it is located on the site of Halrua, occupying that once glorious land.
Although the land was already bare as if a piece of it had been dug out of thin air, not to mention food, even the grass and trees had grown again in the past few decades.
But for the Red Mage of Thay, this actually brought an additional advantage: the Tombs of Halrua, once hidden under the earth, have been exposed to the air, and have become the greatest treasure.
There was an additional reason for them to base themselves on the site of Halruaa: after the Arcane Blight, the former kingdom of Unther vanished like Halruaa, leaving behind a vast, uncharted territory.
And above them, there live more than a thousand dragons and their servants.
This power was truly too ferocious, and during that initial period, Sel was busy occupying the old site of Halrua—or more precisely, he was defeated by Apodel Adrian.
During that crisis, the Necromancer School increasingly gained the upper hand. While the Necromancer School was incredibly powerful in every way, it still had a problem.
Those giant dragons were masters of combined breath attacks, capable of easily wiping out tens of thousands of undead. Their proud army was a joke in front of the dragon's breath.
As a result, the dragons calling themselves the Holy Elementalists still linger in the old site of Unther. The only good news is that these dragons are very territorial and unwilling to expand easily. Outsiders only know that a large number of dragons have appeared in Unther, but they have no idea of the specific situation.
Building a new base at the Halruaa ruins is both for further attacking Faerun and for controlling this mysterious dragon territory.
Serben thought that with Apodel tied up in Baldur's Gate affairs and his itinerary now transparent, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief...
However, the appearance of the All-Knowing One completely disrupted all their plans.
However, this accident that would have ruined decades of planning surprisingly did not lead to internal strife among the Cyrans.
Many of the Red Mages of Sel, who originally specialized in power struggles, showed an incomprehensible tolerance at this time. They did not actively attack others in the meeting and hold others back.
It was as if the Serre with its serious internal strife had never existed.
They quickly reached an agreement: to move materials, manpower and even facilities from the homeland of Sel to the old site of Halrua on a large scale.
They had completed the work, and Halruaa was now Cyrus's second home.
After the All-Knowing One learned of this information, he immediately decided to launch an attack on the ruins of Halrua and cut off the most important pillar of Sel.
There was nothing wrong with this decision itself, and it couldn't even be considered risky - they couldn't really cross the entirety of Faerûn to attack the mainland of Cyrene.
Jaheira sighed, feeling helpless.
Life at the Harpist made her feel as if she was suffocating - everything the All-Knowing One did was impeccable, everything was very reasonable and logical, but the resources were disappearing from her hands step by step and being concentrated in the hands of the All-Knowing One.
In the process, her prestige was rapidly increasing, and everyone's doubts about her were tacitly suppressed in a very short period of time.
However, doubts that are not expressed publicly are not doubts.
Jaheira suspected she was actually witnessing the ascension of a god.
Some of them had indeed placed high hopes on the Emya and Halrua people, but not long ago, some news about the dragon kingdom surrounded by Cyre finally leaked out, which almost completely extinguished their hope.
Thousands of dragons inhabited Unther's lands, so how many dragons were active on that other planet? Halrua'a, having also suffered the Arcane Blight, had struggled for decades on a dragon-infested planet and was probably already exhausted. Even if they returned, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything.
You're worrying too much. Imoen said again, "Sister Jaheira—I repeat, under no circumstances should you join the army heading south."
<I see.> Jaheira replied. <It's just a repetition of excuses.>
She joined the All-Knowing One's faction for her hometown of Cormyr, and could naturally use the same reason to stay in Cormyr.
But Jaheira was very curious...
Imoen and Apodile have been staying in Baldur's Gate for the most part lately. Where did she get the information from?
-----------------
The conflict between the Wild Spirit and Kearney ended in a way that was truly anticlimactic.
After the initial fury of the Qihuang Spirits, they quietly subsided. Kearney also stopped his threats after discovering the Qihuang Spirits were far more powerful than he had anticipated.
Finally, after another large-scale bombardment, the two sides began to confront each other.
"Kearney." This time, the Qihuangling's voice finally stopped using the wind to transmit directly into the minds of all living beings, and instead resounded directly between heaven and earth with thunder. "Or should I call you the Amethyst Dragon Desolate Spirit, or the Amethyst Dragon God?"
"Then what should I call you?" Kearney didn't answer the question at all, and retorted, "Are you the Wild Spirit of Air, or the Wild Spirit of Breath of Change?"
After several attempts, Kearney finally discovered the problem.
The Thunder Flower is a prison, and what is imprisoned within it is the Breath of Change—this is something the Freetia Alliance discovered long ago.
And now, the Thunder Flower has disappeared... and the Breath of Change has also disappeared.
Now, combined with the abnormal strengthening of the Qihuang Spirit, Kornai couldn't help but have some guesses.
What was even more strange was that although he was clearly at a disadvantage in the fight, the Qihuang Spirit Stafford did not pursue him relentlessly. Instead, he showed a strange... restraint.
This enhancement has flaws.
However, a flawed enhancement is still an enhancement, and Kearney couldn't guarantee that he would be able to find his flaw before he died.
The mysterious voice didn't say much, simply saying that if Kearney risked his life, he would definitely be able to scare the desolate spirit away.
ridiculous.
Kearney didn't want to die here, nor did he trust that voice - it might be a trap set by the Qihuang Spirit.
However, he didn't want to lose all his dignity here.
So, there is only confrontation.
And this confrontation and temptation lasted for several days.
Kearney was certain that such strength must have some fatal flaw, so much so that Stavrid didn't even have the courage to bluff. This also proved that the enhancement had nothing to do with time constraints. Over the past few days, Stavrid's strength hadn't weakened in the slightest.
Just when both sides suspected that this confrontation would last indefinitely, a wounded dragon flew from the east and headed towards Stavrid.
It was more like escaping for life than reporting the news.
What did he say?
Before Kearney could make a guess, one of the most powerful lords among his subordinates, Ashe Frame, quietly tried to talk to him: "Dragon King, I just discovered something that may be very important. I think I can't hide it from you."
"What's the matter?" Kearney was happy to use this opportunity to buy some time to recover and rethink.
"As you know, my territory fought very bravely some time ago, and the results were remarkable. This was inseparable from the support of myself and Greenwater's [special] subordinates."
"You mean the Torilians? They escaped?"
"...Yes." Ash Frame gritted his teeth and continued, "During one of their breaks, they tore their own ship into pieces, and the crew disappeared without a trace."
This matter can be said to be unimportant - it is not surprising that slaves escape.
But at this point in time, it is somewhat intriguing.
He had also heard of the fighting prowess of Toril's slaves—simply put, a ship was often more reliable than a battle-hardened dragon. The fact that Ashe Frame had managed to persevere even under siege was largely due to their efforts.
"Have you sent your men to look for him?"
“…They just left yesterday.”
Kearney tilted his head slightly, his eyes moving between the Wild Spirit and Frame.
Strangely enough, Stafford seemed to have heard some fatal news, and the thunderclouds in the sky seemed to be trembling.
Then, this wild spirit actually retreated on his own initiative.
Stafford's voice rang out again, "This endless confrontation is too boring. Kearney, how about we duel here in a month to the death?"
"……it is good."
Both sides are very anxious.
The tense situation disappeared almost silently, and the thundercloud transformed by Stafford could not wait to rush towards the east.
Kearney narrowed his eyes slightly.
Among the slight damage in the thunderclouds, wisps of silver flames were seeping out, slowly floating in the air, as if they had been discarded by Stafford.
It was incomprehensible. But Kearney never liked to guess the enemy's mind. He preferred to follow the rules and wait for the enemy to slowly suffocate to death.
He remembered something: "...Frem, it seems your Lantan craftsmen have joined forces with the people of Greenwater's territory? The result of this cooperation is those... ships?"
Ashe Frame, who had been lost in thought, suddenly looked up and replied, "Exactly. I wanted to visit there, but the cooperation and the war started almost simultaneously, so I simply don't have the free time."
Kearney had a very dangerous premonition.
"...So, is Greenwalt still here? Let him lead the way."
That voice gave him a very bad feeling.
The Fritia Alliance, the Holy Church of the Elements...are the millions of dragons in the entire Abel really being treated like children and played with at will?
-----------------
"The first landing at Longhu Lake failed. Our entire army was eaten by the fish." On the site of Halrua, in a stone fortress decorated with white bones, a depressing meeting was taking place.
The highest ruling body of the Red Mages is called the Council of Red Mages, whose eight members are named Zulkir, representing the eight major factions of the arcane.
However, after the Spellbane, the other seven schools gradually declined, and the School of Necromancy completely ascended to power. The former Council existed in name only, completely reduced to the sole authority of Zul'kiel, Szazastan, the current head of the School of Necromancy. The positions of the remaining seven Zul'kiel have been completely filled by his subordinates, the seven liches.
And now, Sazastan is listening to reports from the front...or more accurately, failure.
