"Sazastan is mobilizing the Tour de France mentors of the Necronomicon faction!"
"No! Not only the Master of the Ring! There are also vampire generals and undead armies in the provinces he controls!"
"What? Mobilize the army? What is he trying to do? Is he crazy?"
"Can we interpret this as a signal for all-out war?"
"Probably not! Sazastan's army has not crossed the border, it is just mobilizing on its own territory. Don't forget, he has several portals of his own. Maybe there is some big move outside of Sere."<
/p>
"Can you find out where he sent his people?"
"Obviously not. But there are rumors that he seemed to have visited Baldur's Gate before."
"Baldur's Gate? Isn't that the sphere of influence of Soth?"
"Yes! This is what worries me the most. If these two guys cooperate or form an alliance, it will definitely not be good news for us. In addition, there is intelligence that Velsharon's followers have also appeared in large numbers.
Over there."
"What now?"
"We also sent some people to Baldur's Gate to investigate the situation."
……
After a short exchange, the red-robed chiefs who opposed Sazastan quickly made a decision.
In less than a few hours, people living in Baldur's Gate noticed that there were suddenly more images of mages wearing red robes and hoods on the streets.
Some of them formed small teams in small groups, while others were accompanied by a few to more than a dozen fully armed mercenaries.
If it were in the past, Grand Duke Iltan, who controlled the Flame Fist mercenaries, would definitely have noticed something was wrong and immediately launched an investigation.
But the problem is that he is now lying unconscious in bed due to poisoning, unable to deal with anything at all.
Moreover, all the close friends around him were basically replaced by shape-shifters, and no one asked a priest to treat them. In this way, the toxins were allowed to continuously erode the body and even the brain.
If nothing unexpected happens, in a few days this legendary warrior will breathe his last breath in an extremely painful way.
Of course, his political ally Duke Silvershield wasn't much better.
He was actually attacked by "Zhentarim Assassins" in his own home, and his wife and son were all killed.
Only one daughter, Shi Ji, who ran away from home and disappeared without a trace, survived by luck.
As for why this Zhentarim assassin is in quotation marks, it is naturally because it was not done by them at all, but was deliberately arranged by Sarevok's men.
The purpose is also very simple.
On the one hand, it is to eradicate Duke Silver Shield;
On the other hand, you can publicize the evil, cruelty and unscrupulousness of Zhentil Keep and the Zhentarim, making the people hate them even more, thus paving the way for the next dispatch of troops.
Anyway, these guys already have a terrible reputation in Faerûn, and they have done countless evil things.
As the saying goes, if you have too many lice, you won’t be itchy; if you have too many debts, you won’t have to worry.
So the Zhentarim themselves don't really care if they take the blame.
However, a large number of red-robed mages from different factions and their subordinates appear at the same time, so naturally there will be some open and covert fighting.
In just a few days, the security situation in Baldur's Gate City has deteriorated sharply, with conflicts breaking out almost every day.
In particular, the destructive power of mages is simply unmatched by other professions.
Often a third-ring spell thrown out can cause unimaginable large-scale damage.
Fire and lightning magic can even cause terrible fires.
In addition, the selfish red-robed mages don't care whether they hurt innocent people, and occasionally they may pull up corpses that died during battles to serve as undead cannon fodder. Ordinary people soon couldn't stand it.<
/p>
Not to mention ordinary people who had no ability to resist, even the Flame Fist mercenaries responsible for law enforcement were killed several times.
Chaos, fear and turmoil quickly spread around Baldur's Gate.
Many surrounding towns suffered heavy losses due to the internal fighting between the red robed mages.
After all, these are three forces, not two.
Among them, Vesharun is one faction, Sazastan is another faction, and Aznar Sruel and his allies are another faction.
Since the three parties are all enemies with each other, there is no way to communicate effectively, and they all believe that the other party is up to a shocking conspiracy, so they are particularly vicious in their attacks.
Although the number of mage casualties was not high, the number of deaths among their private armies, mercenaries, and guards soon reached two to three hundred.
You must know that these are not soldiers in the ordinary army who do not even have the LV1 warrior level.
Instead, they are senior mercenaries with at least LV5 warrior, thief, ranger, bard, barbarian and other professions.
What's even more interesting is that the unusual behavior of the red-robed mages quickly aroused the vigilance of the Harpers Alliance and the Zhentarim, and even several nearby Druid sects also joined in.
There is no doubt that things have developed to this point and are far beyond Sarevok's control.
At this moment, he is standing in a secret stronghold in the sewers of Baldur's Gate, listening to the reports from his trusted subordinates, with a solemn expression on his face, and his eyes are shining with anger and annoyance.
After several minutes, he suddenly raised his head and asked: "Why did those red-robed mages suddenly appear in Baldur's Gate in large numbers? What are their intentions and purposes?"
"Sorry, Master.
All we know now is that they are not the same group.
Instead, they have been divided into at least three factions, fighting and killing each other.
As for why, we don’t have any eyes and ears in Sale, so we don’t know at all.
But the mind flayers who migrated from Amn seem to have formed an alliance with one of the red-robed mages."
A thief, wrapped in a black cloak and hood, answered cautiously.
It is not difficult to tell from this guy's identifiable clothing and attire that he is a spy lurking within the Amn Shadow Thieves Guild, using the power of the shadow thieves to find out information for the son of Baal in front of him.
After all, it only took Sarevok a few years from the time he learned his true identity to start planning, and it is impossible for the stall to be that big.

In many cases, one either cooperates with other forces, installs spies or bribes senior officials, and uses the power of the other party to achieve one's own goals.
So far, this bald man, who is 1.9 meters tall and nearly 2 meters tall, has not only ousted the leader of the Shadow Thieves Guild in Baldur's Gate, but has also maintained a relationship with the mind flayers, shapeshifters, Erinikas and other forces.
Close working relationship.
In addition, he also acted as a "filial son" not long ago, killing his adoptive father and his close allies, swallowing up the Iron Throne Chamber of Commerce, and using the wealth he had accumulated over the years to recruit troops.
At present, a private army of about a thousand people has been assembled, and he plans to mix these people into it as soon as he gets the command of the Flame Fist mercenaries to ensure that the army can obey his orders 100%.
As for the reinforcements from the Alliance of Lords in the north, led by Waterdeep City, Sarevok didn't want these nosy guys to come over at all.
The reason is simple!
What he wants is to start a bloody massacre to strengthen the divine power and divinity in his body.
Once the reinforcements from the Alliance of Lords discover that the Baldur's Gate army is nothing more than a group of bloodthirsty thugs, they might turn around and become enemies.
As a descendant of the God of Murder, Sarevok knows better than most of his brothers and sisters that he cannot go together with the good camp and the lawful camp.
Just when he opened his mouth to ask for more details, a man dressed as a spellcaster ran in from the outside with a panicked expression and said in a hurried tone: "Something bad is going to happen!
I just got the exact news.
Your brother named Aberdare found the location of the bandit camp and rushed in to kill.
Now it has completely turned into a purgatory of blood and broken corpses.
Various mutilated corpses and internal organs falling from the body are everywhere."
What? What did you just say? Repeat it to me!"
Sarevok's voice suddenly rose an octave.
You must know that there are a full four hundred robbery gangs in the bandit camp consisting of hobgoblins, humans, orcs, orcs, ogres and jackals.
Even if he did it himself, it would take a lot of effort to kill them all.
But now I just said it was gone and it was gone.
