Late at night, the entire Luskan is quiet.
Because the five commanders and their fleets were out in force, taking away almost one-third of the city's young and middle-aged population, both the market and the streets seemed quiet.
Even the most daring criminals dare not come out to cause trouble at this time.
Because anyone who creates trouble at such a critical moment will inevitably be blacklisted by the Arcane Brotherhood, and the possibility of being liquidated afterwards is more than 90%.
Therefore, the entire city seems to be more orderly than usual. Even the drunkards who were quarreling, betting and fighting in the pub disappeared without a trace.
The weird and depressing atmosphere made many businessmen and citizens feel very uncomfortable.
The secret stronghold established by the two Harper Alliances here is even more frequent, trying to figure out how many mages in the tree-shaped tower left with the fleet.
Especially the four most dangerous tower owners, are they still living in their own tree-shaped spires?
But unfortunately, since Akram Grace has sealed the entire mage tower, there are no apprentices coming in or out at all, so naturally no information can be found.
But what the Harper spies didn't know was that just half an hour ago, the four tower masters and several wizards who mastered the five-ring arcana that set out with the fleet had just escaped back in embarrassment through teleportation magic, with faces on their faces.
There is even a look of fear in Shanghe's eyes.
Whether it was summoning an ancient dragon turtle as huge as a small island through joint casting, or finally Vanessa and other lichs took the lead in blocking the airspace and shot down a large number of Arcane Brotherhood mages from the sky, they all showed a crushing absolute
Advantages.
In their knowledge, only Waterdeep City and Silvermoon City in the entire North have such powerful magical power.
But the problem is, the Nelanser Islands are just a group of emerging political powers transformed from pirates. How can they afford to support so many high-level mages and archmages?
Even if they can afford it, why should the other party obey the orders of a pirate leader?
There were so many questions and puzzles that troubled the top brass of the Arcane Brotherhood that they met immediately after escaping.
"What, do you see any clues?"
The Lord of the North Tower was the first to break the silence, raising his head and staring at the other eight people present.
"Obviously, the enemy we are facing this time has at least more than one archmage who can cast nine-ring magic. Otherwise, even joint spell casting will not be able to summon a terrifying creature like the Ancient Dragon Turtle." Sita Zhi
The Lord expressed his opinion with a gloomy face.
You must know that the entire Arcane Brotherhood, including its founder Akram Grace, cannot find a few archmages who can cast nine-ring arcane spells.
So in the eyes of the Lord of the West Tower, this is completely a conspiracy, a conspiracy against himself and the other three Tower Lords.
Maybe it’s the organization’s top leader, Akram Grace, who wants to use the help of enemies to eradicate internal threats.
After all, since the frequent failed external expansion campaigns in the past two years, the internal battles within the Arcane Brotherhood have become increasingly fierce and cruel.
Even the position of the tower owner, second only to the supreme leader, has been changed frequently in just two or three years.
Every change is inevitably accompanied by conspiracy, killing and death.
Therefore, each of the four tower masters is very vigilant at the moment, fearing that they will also follow in the footsteps of their predecessors.
"Don't talk nonsense without evidence. If Akram Grace really wants to get rid of us, what is the reason? We have not offended him recently." The Lord of the South Tower questioned meaningfully.
The Lord of the East Tower curled his lips disdainfully and said sarcastically: "With his body currently aging rapidly and not as good as death, does he need any other reason?
I feel that when the matter has reached this point, there is no need for everyone here to continue to be secretive and just say it directly.
The aging Akram Grace is no longer qualified to continue leading the Arcane Brotherhood.
We now need a new, young and powerful leader.
And this new leader will inevitably emerge between us."
Instantly!
A light called ambition flashed in the eyes of those present who heard these words.
Especially the most competitive North Tower Master and West Tower Master, there is even a hint of hostility between them.
Fortunately!
Anyone who can climb to this position is an out-and-out "old yinbi", and they will quickly suppress this emotion.
At least until Arkham Grace is overthrown, they must maintain a superficial alliance.
After being silent for about a minute, another high-level mage couldn't help but remind him: "If we want to kill Akram Grace, the first thing we have to deal with is his loyal and extremely vigilant assistant."
"You are right, the Jade Fire Wizard is not an easy character to deal with. I think we can take the opportunity to set a trap and lure him into the trap."
The Lord of the East Tower raised his mouth slightly, revealing a sinister smile.
"I'm joining! Just after this fiasco, we need a scapegoat to quell the rebellion that may break out in Luskan. It would be ideal if Arkham Grace takes all the blame.
." The Lord of the South Tower quickly agreed.
The Lord of the North Tower hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, count me in. But this operation must be kept absolutely confidential. Apart from the eight of us, there must be no ninth participant.
”
"You can rest assured about this. If anyone dares to leak the news, he will face the relentless pursuit of the other seven people."
When saying these words, the Lord of Sita exuded naked and undisguised murderous intent.
Perhaps when faced with Vanessa and other lichs, one of the top brass of the Arcane Brotherhood was submissive and just wanted to escape quickly and escape to a safe place.

But when they were fighting internally, they immediately changed their faces and struck hard.
After all, the success rate of plotting against a person who knows everything is much higher than facing a group of dangerous and powerful enemies.
The most important thing is that these top executives of the Arcane Brotherhood have never thought that Zuo Si's goal is to completely destroy the Arcane Brotherhood and occupy the entire Luskan.
So in their eyes, this is an excellent opportunity to seize power.
Similarly, Zuo Si, who was far away in Dragon's Nest, another active volcanic island near Mingtan Island, would not have imagined that his counterattack against Luskan would trigger sharp conflicts within the Arcane Brotherhood years in advance.p>
At this moment, he was watching with great interest Wilmes' unilateral bullying of the adult red dragon named Huendal.
Since both parties are red dragons, they are completely immune to the other party's flame breath.
So the battle turned into brutal hand-to-hand combat from the very beginning.
Because Wilmes swallowed several dragon eggs, her size is larger, and her strength and physical attributes are also higher.
In just a short while, he had the opponent pinned down beneath him.
Whenever Huendal twists his body and tries to get out of control, he is immediately slapped by the strong dragon wings.
With every slap, the small claws on the wing bones would leave bloody scratches on his face.
I almost caught my eye several times.
In order to avoid becoming one-eyed or blind, this poor male red dragon can only be forced to stagger his head.
But the consequence of this is that Wilmes can bite the former's neck at will without worrying about being bitten back.
After two or three mouthfuls, Huendal's neck was densely covered with bite marks, and the blood completely dyed the white scales from his neck to his abdomen red.
If it were a dragon of other colors, I'm afraid it would have surrendered long ago.
However, the red dragon's inherent arrogance and cruelty often make it more vicious after being injured.
With his sharp claws, Huendal also managed to leave several wounds on Wilmes' body as a souvenir.
Of course, it's just a commemoration.
In the end, the adult male red dragon finally became weaker and weaker due to excessive blood loss, and his entire head was stepped on by Wilmes under his front paws, waiting for the judgment of fate in a very humiliating posture.p>
"You...you win! Come on, kill me." Huendal said in an extremely weak tone.
"Kill you? No! I won't kill you! Because you have other uses."
Wilmes grinned with a cruel smile, raised his tail and knocked him unconscious with a bang.
After finishing all this, she turned around and looked at the mountains of treasures in the lair.
Due to his long-term relationship with collecting tribute from Mingtan Island and robbing passing merchant ships, Huendal's accumulated wealth is quite astonishing.
The number of gold and silver currencies and precious metal trade bars alone reaches hundreds of thousands, not to mention those copper coins that have grown green rust spots in the humid environment of the island.
