There is no doubt that Storm Silverhand's evaluation of the Dark Prince Graya is undoubtedly very accurate.
Because with the defeat of Demogorgon's incarnation, Prim was destroyed again and again before he could condense into the form of a giant. He finally began to pursue the City of Shadows mercilessly.
Whether it was the high-level mages and Shar's priests, the officers and ordinary soldiers, or the Bedai barbarian nomadic cavalry who were forced to surrender to the former, they were all treated equally.
No sympathy!
No mercy!
Some are just killing without mercy!
Hundreds of people were crushed to death like ants, and then swallowed by the endless darkness. Wherever the black curtain passed, there was only death and silence, and not even corpses were left behind.
Even if someone kneels on the ground and weeps bitterly to express his willingness to surrender and become a slave, he will not be forgiven.
Graya's expressionless handsome face and cold eyes vividly demonstrated his character and flaws in his natural god-like powers.
Any scholar who has done some research and understanding of wild gods, ancient evil beings, and other innate divine powers that do not rely on faith to maintain their existence will know that these powerful and terrifying beings often have one thing in common, and that is a serious lack of compassion and empathy.
the reason is simple.
They have never truly experienced the feeling of being weak, so how can they possibly understand the idea that they can just slap or trample mortals to death.
Moreover, these beings do not need to rely on faith to maintain their existence at all. They basically do not listen to the prayers of believers every day like gods and feel the joys and sorrows of ordinary people's daily lives. They often regard them as toys to kill boring time.
Or resources of certain value.
Therefore, most wild gods, ancient evil beings and other innate god-like powers are evil and scorn the morality, order and laws established by mortal society.
Obviously, the Dark Prince Graya also has the same problem.
In his opinion, from the moment Telamante chose to go to war with him, the entire City of Shadows should die from top to bottom.
He wanted to use a complete massacre to announce to the entire Faerûn continent and let everyone understand what it meant to be an enemy of him.
In fact, this lack of sympathy and empathy is not unique to Grea, Zuo Si's other heir, Little Annie, is actually the same.
It's just that the latter's mind is still very naive and not very mature, so it has a certain degree of plasticity and can be slowly corrected through education.
But since Grea gained a relatively complete and mature mind soon after his birth, he was even more obvious in this regard, almost never caring about the feelings of mortals.
In the Dark Prince's understanding, there are only three types of mortals.
The first is the "resources" and "property" that will belong to the army, such as the residents of the Kingdom of Cormyr, who will belong to them in the future. They need to be treated with a slightly more gentle approach and given protection;
The second type is residents of other areas who have no relationship with themselves, so just ignore them;
The third type is the guy who is controlled by his opponent. This kind of person usually has strong hostility towards himself, and will gradually develop irreconcilable hatred as the fighting, violence and killing escalate, and he needs to punch hard as fast as mowing grass.
Clean it up without leaving any trouble.
Therefore, Greia's current large-scale massacre is not due to bloodthirsty or impulsiveness, but an extremely rational decision made after careful consideration.
It is precisely because of this that Storm Silverhand feels that he is far more terrifying than those tyrants, careerists, and leaders of evil organizations.
Because once this young god-like power starts, he will never stop easily. Instead, he will kill thousands of people with unimaginable efficiency, without even giving others a chance to react or intervene.
When he thinks that the Prince of Darkness will become the monarch of the Kingdom of Cormyr in the future, and the valley where the Valley of Shadows is located happens to have a large land border with Cormyr, Storm Silverhand can't help but feel nervous, worried and anxious.
She was not sure whether the future Kingdom of Cormyr would reach out to the valley that was still a stretch of sand and try to annex this rich land suitable for farming.
But what is certain is that the relationship between the two parties will not be as easy and harmonious as before.
Especially with the support of the huge empire on the west coast, the power of the Cormyr royal family will inevitably grow exponentially, and it won't be long before they become formidable.
If you include Sembia, which ended the civil war after a round of reshuffles, the valley is almost surrounded, with only the newly recovered Elf Kingdom Cormanthor in the north barely considered an ally.
Even Storm Silverhand can think of things that Elminster can't think of.
So after a brief moment of thinking, he finally made up his mind to lead the Harper Alliance people to join the melee, hoping to cool down the situation a little.
But the interesting part is that before the group of people could get close to the battlefield, a dramatic scene happened.
To be precise, they encountered Fu Zor Cheberry, the clones Manzon and Shimamon and other high-level officials of the Zhentarim.
As an intelligence organization that has been in love with the Harper Alliance for hundreds of years, the Zhentarim have obviously been aware of Elminster's movements a long time ago. They are also very concerned about the situation in Tifanton, and are also hostile to the City of Shades.
relation.
How could they not get involved when it was obvious that there might be something cheap like this?
After all, whether the City of Shade is defeated or the Harper Alliance is severely damaged, the Zhentarim can take advantage of the situation and weaken the opponent, or even eliminate a powerful enemy once and for all.
Looking at the sinister and cunning face of Fu Zol Cheberry, Storm Silverhand immediately stopped and narrowed his eyes and asked: "What on earth do you want to do here?"
"It's very simple.
I don't really want you to interfere in this war of shadows.
Because the threat posed by the return of Ghost City to the material plane to the Moon Sea is too great.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So I hope that the Dark Prince Graia can help me kill all Telamante and his sons without leaving a single one behind.
This way I can easily deal with the threat from the Enook Desert and achieve what I have always wanted to achieve."
Fuzor Chebery made no secrets and stated his intention straightforwardly.
It is easy to see from the gloating in his eyes and tone that he is very satisfied with the outcome of this war.
After all, as long as the City of Shadows is completely destroyed, the pressure faced by Zhentil Castle will disappear instantly.
With the strong strength of integrating the towns and villages around the Moon Sea and establishing a dictatorship, Yinbutu will be a good choice whether it is to go south to seize the land of the Elf Kingdom Cormanthor or to go east to invade Hantu.
As a voter of Bane, the god of tyranny, after witnessing with his own eyes how Zuo Si built a huge west coast empire from scratch, Fuzor Chebery's ambition grew wildly like weeds in the wilderness, and he also longed to establish
Build an empire of your own.
Considering that there was almost no room for expansion in the west, he naturally turned his attention to the east where it was easier to conquer and occupy.
Of course, all this must be based on the complete destruction of the City of Shadows.
Otherwise, as long as there are still a few ghost princes and dozens of high-level mages alive, they will use the Shadow Sea as a base to form a strategic deterrent to Zhentil Castle.
"Ha! Killing with a borrowed knife? When did you, the tyrant of the Moon Sea, become as fond of intrigues as Manson? Do Soth and his heirs really frighten you so much?"
Elminster was obviously angry at the other party's shamelessness.
He originally thought that the Zhentarim would block here to kill him or to capture all the senior leaders of the Harper Alliance.
After all, this kind of thing often happened more than once when Manson was still the leader.
But who would have thought that they just don’t want anyone to step forward and save the precarious City of Shadows.
However, Elminster does have the intention to help the City of Shades.
Because the Harper Alliance he founded has always advocated the theory of balance, and what the area around the Eno Oak Desert needs right now is to maintain a balance of power.
In particular, retaining Ghost City can not only deter Zhentil Keep from invading and harming other areas, but also slightly restrict the Kingdom of Cormyr, which will fully turn to the West Coast Empire in the future, so that it will not expand too fast and threaten the valley.
have an impact.
Before Fuzuo Er Cheberry could refute, Xi Manmeng, the controller of the dark intelligence network, stood up and questioned with a smile: "If you were not afraid, why didn't you stand up in the first place?
Especially when the incarnation of the demon prince Demogorgon is still around.
Admit it, Elminster.
As you get older, you are actually not as brave and fearless as you thought.
And the Prince of Darkness has already demonstrated his strength through two battles.
You must know that neither Cyric nor Demogorgon is a soft persimmon.
He deserves everyone's respect, doesn't he?"
Having said that, Ximanmeng did not forget to glance at Greia standing at the top of the huge black curtain with the corner of his eye.
Even though at this moment this godlike boy who looked like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy was just standing there motionless, he still exuded an aura of darkness and nothingness that towered over all living beings, as if the night belonged to him.
Under the curtain, countless shadow creatures continued to attack the defense line built by the soldiers and mages of the City of Shadows.
Although since Shadow City has lived in the shadow plane for thousands of years, it should be quite experienced in dealing with such creatures.
But in the face of overwhelming numbers, no matter how powerful the magic is, it is of no avail.
Spells targeting shadow creatures such as daylight, sunburst, and fireball illuminate the night sky one after another, often killing hundreds of black shadows in an instant, or even clearing a large area in front of them.
But this does nothing to slow down the pace of death.
