"What do you want me to do?"

After thinking for a long time, Sazastan finally bowed his head.

He understood that if he resisted to the end, not only would he not gain even a tiny bit of benefit, but he would lose everything he had now, even his most precious life.

But surrendering can temporarily gain the dictatorship of the Red Robe Mage Organization and Cell, although it may have to pay some price.

As the saying goes, choose the lesser of two evils.

Not to mention that one of the options isn't entirely a bad thing.

Zuo Si nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, you made a wise choice.

My request is simple.

You can turn Cyre and the Red Mage Organization into your own.

But they both want to join in and become my spies.

Don't worry, they won't trouble you or hold you back like the previous chiefs, but will fully support every decision you make.

But the premise is that you must abide by your agreement with me."

With that said, Zuo Si pointed to Demetra Vlas and Kalaya who had been standing aside for a long time without moving.

"Are they yours? When?"

Sazastan suddenly showed an expression of shock and disbelief.

In particular, Demetra Frasko, who is the chief, is a powerful figure in Serge.

He couldn't figure out why the other party would betray the Red Robe Mage Organization and join a foreign enemy.

"Since the last time we sent an envoy to negotiate with the West Coast Empire."

Demetra Vlas took the initiative and gave the answer.

"Why?"

Sazastan asked in confusion.

Demetra Vlas answered with a smile: "At the beginning, I just wanted to find a foreign aid to ensure a retreat in the event of fierce internal fighting.

After all, the conflict between you and Aznar Sruel had completely intensified at that time, and there was a possibility of falling out and starting a war at any time.

I was caught in the middle, and the situation could be said to be quite dangerous.

But later, my good disciple Kalaya completely surrendered to the great Majesty Soth in private, and dragged me down bit by bit with her tricks.

In the end, what you see now is that we both became his spies inside the red mage.

This is why those West Coast Empire merchants can always accurately grasp the changes in the strength of both sides, and then sell the most needed weapons and equipment to earn high profits.

At present, the entire parliamentary faction has been basically penetrated.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As long as he gives an order, those who have opposed you will not hesitate to give up their principles and surrender to you.

As for those chiefs who hold power and refuse to let go, someone will naturally help you deal with it."

Hearing these words, Sazhastan seemed to think of something, and his already very pale face suddenly became even more ugly. He turned around and asked: "You also planted a spy here?"

"Haha, how else do you think I got your life box?" Zuo Si asked with a sneer.

"Who is it?"

Sazastan asked urgently.

You must know that what he is most proud of is the absolute loyalty and obedience of his lichs, vampires and other high-level undead to him.

But now, this false illusion has been exposed.

"You think I'll tell you?

Don't be naive!

I want you to live in my shadow forever, immersed in tension, suspicion and uneasiness forever.

Remember, you have no right to bargain with me, nor do you have the ability to play those little shady games with me.

No matter what you want to do, you can't escape my eyes."

Zuo Si pursed his lips and revealed a very wicked smile.

"Besides that? What else do you need me to do?"

Sazastan's withered hands were clenched into fists, and he was obviously very angry, but he couldn't get angry.

"My request is actually very simple.

First, ensure that the West Coast Empire's trade monopoly in Sale is as unshakable as their current position.

Second, I need you to launch a fierce attack on the Mulhorand Empire immediately after integrating the power of the red robe mage, and use your style during the civil war to kill all the living people in the area north of the Rosen River and convert them into

Undead, reduce the population of this country as much as possible.

Third, from now on, there will no longer be civilians on the land of Ser, and immigration and population birth will not be encouraged. We can just maintain the current status."

Zuo Si stated his conditions straightforwardly.

The first one, you know without asking, is a means to consolidate economic hegemony.

As long as the merchants of the West Coast Empire monopolize trade, Sayre will never be able to break free from control and regain independence.

The second is more sinister, and its goal is to weaken the Mulhorand Empire and the pantheon they worship.

Not only that!

When Sazastan does something like this, there is a 100% chance that a protracted war will break out with the Mulhorand Empire.

By then, Serge, who had just emerged from the civil war, would face an equally powerful external enemy.

In this way, the merchants of the West Coast Empire can take the opportunity to continue selling weapons and equipment to the warring parties, and expand their influence to the easternmost part of Faerûn.

You must know that the current attitude of the Mulhorand Empire towards the West Coast Empire is outright hostile, and it has been secretly obstructing and undermining the expansion of the Trade Alliance in its surrounding areas.

But once a war broke out between them and Serge, they had to rely on external trade to supplement their own consumption, and eventually relaxed restrictions on foreign merchants.

The longer the war lasts, the more economically dependent they will be on the trade alliance, and eventually they will unknowingly become an economic vassal of the West Coast Empire.

By the time it is discovered or the war is over, it will be too late.

In particular, a large number of cheap industrial products and magic items hit the market and wiped out all the small handicraft workshops. Even daily-used kitchen knives, sickles, hammers, axes, nails and other tools cannot be made. If the trade is cut off, the consequences will be absolutely catastrophic.

The third article is to prevent Serge, a country with huge potential, from making a comeback.

After all, anyone who knows something about economics understands that without population, there is no consumption, and without consumption, there is no market.

There is no possibility for an economy to turn around if it is completely dependent on the external market.

There is no doubt that Zuo Si is using a rope called economic hegemony to strangle the two most powerful countries in the east of Faerun continent bit by bit.

"Can!"

Sazastan agreed without hesitation after hesitating for a few seconds.

Because these conditions do not conflict with what he has been planning.

Although he had roughly guessed what Zuo Si was going to do, he didn't care at all.

The reason is simple!

Whether it is Serge or the Red Robe Mage Organization, they are nothing but tools used by Sazastan to realize his ambitions and wishes.

His true goal has always been to become one of the gods.

"Great! I'm glad we have reached an agreement. Now you can have a good chat with your former colleagues. I think you will have a lot to say."

After saying this, Zuo Si disappeared out of thin air just as he had come, without causing even the slightest fluctuation in the magic network from beginning to end.

This elusive and completely unreasonable teleportation ability obviously made Sazastan feel very nervous and headache.

After a slight hesitation, he said to Demetra Vlas: "Would you mind telling me what happened within the parliamentary faction?"

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you anything. Because it will reveal a lot of things. And I don't want to be killed for saying something I shouldn't have said."

Demetra Vlas was undoubtedly a very cautious person and chose to refuse without even thinking about it.

Tell Sazastan that the Entangled Talisman has been resurrected within the red wizards and has secretly established a network?

You would only do this unless you no longer want to live.

The talisman masters of Lagon alone could make her give up this idea.

"Okay, then let's discuss the re-merger."

Seeing that he couldn't find any useful information, Sazhastan decisively changed the subject.

In this way, two groups of enemies who were still fighting to the death came together and began to discuss a plan to reunify Ser.

As for the chiefs of other factions, their lives have entered a countdown from this moment on.

And this time they won't have another chance to be resurrected.

Because the hiding places of all the clones have been clearly investigated by the Entangling Talisman, people will be sent to clear out all the clones before the operation begins.
