Chapter 226 Preliminary Plan
At this time, it was getting dark in Baldur's Gate, and the last ray of light in Lathander was about to disappear into the distant horizon. A team of six people entered Baldur's Gate before the city gate was about to be completely closed.
Because night is approaching, the entire Baldur's Gate has changed from the hustle and bustle of the day to the silence of the night. Obviously at this point in time, neither travelers nor locals of Baldur's Gate have appeared here. .
And when there is only this group of people at the originally noisy city gate, no matter how inconspicuous they are, they will involuntarily attract most of the attention, thus making the soldiers guarding the city gate wary, especially most of the people in this group. When they were all wrapped tightly in cloaks.
But when the soldiers were about to question them routinely, the only leader in the team who did not use a cloak to disguise himself calmly said hello to the flame fist guarding the city. The soldiers immediately recalled after a brief surprise. Something happened, and then he responded to his greetings very eagerly as if he had seen a big shot. The entire team was then let go without even paying the entrance fee, let alone checking.
Enver Gotash is the leader of this team. He is a middle-aged man wearing gorgeous clothes, dark complexion, unshaven beard and black curly hair. He carries a unique iron cage in his right hand. In his left hand, he held a small short staff inlaid with gems, showing a pretentious aristocratic air, with very deep black eye shadow painted on his eye sockets.
This unique look makes him exude an inexplicable aura, but compared to the aura, the real reason for the soldiers to let this team go is Gotash's noble status. As Baldur's Gate has been in the spotlight recently Viscount, his reputation is definitely enough for the soldiers guarding the city to remember his appearance.
Gotash led the team away from here, and after staying away from the soldiers, he silently said something to a tall figure on the right. Although his companion's answer was not what he wanted to hear, he still showed his face. He gave a false smile, and after the entire team walked out of the corridor of the city wall, they immediately noticed the strange scene in front of them.
Gotash looked at the six newly hung corpses in the square opposite with interest, and then said in amazement.
"I didn't expect that just a dozen days after leaving Baldur's Gate, this city would give us such a big surprise. It seems that the news I received before is true. Your dearest former collaborator is really I got into a big mess because of a young boy who didn’t know where he came from.”
"Look at the corpses hanging on these gallows. There are so many that I almost wonder if all the assassins in Baldur's Gate are dead. After Duke Vansampel was arrested, doesn't your cult have any secrets? Is their den available? Tsk, tsk, after losing the help of their allies, their performance is not remarkable. "
"So they died here, Gotash. These ridiculous gallows are the best destination for these inferior products. They disappointed the Father. This is an unforgivable sin, but death prevents them from experiencing my Bloody sweet punishment, but you, Gotash, seem eager to do it for them."
"Wow, be careful what you say, my dear, before our beautiful plan is completed, my living can bring greater benefits. You'd better endure it first. After this period of time, you have a lot of money." You can unleash your unbridled desire for killing, but now..."
"You don't need to remind me, Gotash, I admit that your plan is indeed tempting. For the sake of the big plan, I can bear this hunger, but this does not mean that you can sarcastically ridicule me."
"Those losers couldn't get things done, so they died, but don't confuse me with these losers, if you have any doubts about my abilities..."
"Believe me, dear, I have never doubted your ability, but look at those corpses. I know what those leather armors mean. Those newly hung assassins are all middle-level members of your order, right? And those few Changelings, they are quite valuable assets, but during the time we left Baldur's Gate, they died here for no reason. "
"This is a huge waste. Our plan requires manpower, but now almost all of your useful people are dead. I took the lead in establishing this alliance. I don't want to have the alliance just formed because of the wrong strength and power of the allies. I have to raise this legitimate concern.”
"Then you can put that worry back in your stomach now. The evil thoughts have come back."
Xie Nian silently lowered his head and looked at Gotash. Under the dark cloak, a pair of scarlet eyes stared straight at him with rationality and hunger. As a pure-blooded son of Baal, he had been Driven by an instinctive desire to kill, he will feel as excited as a climax when killing, but his strong will allows him to not be affected by this inexplicable hunger impulse when performing certain key tasks, thus achieving perfect results. Complete what needs to be done.
At the same time, as a son of pure blood Baal, that is, as a descendant of God, Xie Nian can change his external form into anything, but Xie Nian is particularly fond of a man with pure white scales and vertical curved horns. The crowned white dragon Dragonborn appears.
"Haha, how could I doubt your ability? I just want to say that now is a great time. Just like we discussed before, we can start to implement the grand plan while the current chaotic situation is in place. At this time, any unnecessary losses must be avoided as much as possible."
After hearing Gotash's response, Xie Nian did not speak, but silently retracted his gaze from Gotash.
The pair of eyes full of malice continued to look at the bodies of other murdered believers hanging in the square, but in those bloodthirsty eyes, Xie Nian's rationality still existed. He couldn't help but recall the grand plan that Gotash promised him when he found him half a year ago.
For this plan, he and his assassins have been secretly clearing obstacles for Gotash's promotion in the past six months in order to help him reach a higher position. When they all have enough power and strength, they only need one opportunity to officially launch this plan.
They had also been waiting for this opportunity. Just over ten days ago, the entire city of Eltoril suddenly fell into hell, along with Grand Duke Ravengard of Baldur's Gate.
