Robert paid no heed to Shandyr's threats. From the begging and screams that came out of the room just now, he quickly deduced that this woman's status in Henry's mind was not very good. In the mind of a thief leader, she is not even as threatening as Debra. The former is just a sorcerer who can't even control his emotions well. Although his ability to cast spells is very powerful, he can see through his methods at a glance. The latter is not only thoughtful, but also cruel. Look at poor Anthony, his soul is driven mad.

Henry looked at the two men in front of him who were not dealing with him, smiled and shook his head. He doesn't care whether these people have any personal grievances in private, as long as they don't lose the chain at critical times. "Robert, first list the more influential merchants and nobles in the entire Baldur's Gate area. I need to pick a few obedient collaborators from them."

The leader of the thieves bowed slightly, then took out a piece of parchment from inside the leather armor and handed it over, explaining: "Here is the result of my investigation in the past few days. The current traditional partner, the Seven Suns Merchant Alliance, has been controlled by the shapeshifter. Although they haven't made any moves yet, I suggest that it is better to kill them as soon as possible."

Henry took the parchment and immediately asked, "Where's Jasuo? Is he still alive?"

Robert smiled and shook his head. "The doppelganger killed the leader of the chamber of commerce on the first day of infiltration. In order to prevent leaks, even his family and children were not spared. Now the only one who has the right to inherit is a girl under the age of fourteen, but she has mild mental retardation. Now I have sent her to a safe place for protection."

Henry thought about it, and felt that it shouldn't be too difficult for a mildly mentally handicapped girl to control. He smiled and patted Robert on the shoulder. "Good job. Protect this girl, so that we can justifiably swallow the Seven Suns Merchant Alliance. If the negotiation goes well tonight, let's kill all these shapeshifters. It's useless to keep these guys anyway. It's better to give the Iron Throne a warning."

"Don't worry. I've already contacted Mr. Aratus of the Local Thieves Guild. He has dispatched a large number of people to fully monitor the infiltrated chambers of commerce. These doppelgängers think that no one can find them, but in fact their every move is watched by countless pairs of eyes. But will clearing out the doppelgangers of the Seven Suns Merchant Alliance alone will alert the people of the Iron Throne, which may not be conducive to our next move." Robert was a little confused about the master's intentions.

Henry smiled and waved his hands. "No. Eliminating the shapeshifting monsters of the Seven Suns Merchant Alliance alone is precisely to express my attitude and position. Because they have violated my interests, they will be violently retaliated against. At the same time, this also indirectly expresses that as long as it has nothing to do with my interests, they will not intervene no matter what they do."

Robert nodded suddenly. "I understand. This is a signal to the people on the Iron Throne. Let them feel confident and bold to deal with the other three dukes and their supporters."

"That's right. Not only must they be assured to do it boldly, but they must also have a leader behind them. Only when the original forces are wiped out can we truly occupy this land." Henry sneered and sentenced the nobles and merchants in the Baldur's Gate area to death.

The bandit leader bowed, then smiled sinisterly. "I already know what to do. The dark elf assassin team led by Antleb is fully capable of this job. It only takes half a month, and they can kill half of the nobles and merchants in the entire area. And these guys are also good at falsifying evidence. It won't be long before everyone knows that the Iron Throne is buying murderers everywhere."

"Now that you understand, let's go and arrange it. Bring the Terminator, he can help you deal with many emergencies. As for Sandy, I will train it myself for a while." Henry waved his hand, indicating that Robert can go to work.

The leader of the thieves glanced at the honest Sandy and shook his head with a smile. Leave the room directly and take the Terminator to find your subordinates to assign tasks.

Henry sat on a chair to check the information on the parchment. The information above lists hundreds of nobles and merchants in the Baldur's Gate area, many of whom are supporters of other dukes. It can be crossed out directly, and the rest needs to be carefully selected, and three or five families that are not too strong but have certain influence should be supported.

After all, I don't have much time to waste on management, so it became a very good choice to quickly restore stability after Sarevok's death and give up a little profit to win over a few small nobles and small businessmen. He quickly found several targets among the names of the blockbusters. One of them is a down-and-out baron, and the other three are businessmen with some strength.

Henry rolled up the parchment and handed it to Sandy who had occupied it for half a day. "Give this to Robert. Also let him find time to contact the people on the list. I need to know their attitude."

Sandyer respectfully took the list with both hands, and quickly left the room. Henry looked at her back and showed a weird smile. The proud sorceress has gone through some training and is now much more submissive. Although she still had some resistance in her mind, it was not as strong as last time.

After dealing with everything, Henry continued to take out the emerald to study the energy inside. Time passed without knowing it, and when he came back to his senses, the sky had already darkened. Shandier had already completed the task and stood motionless in front of the table. Just when he was about to say something, a servant ran in and shouted out of breath, "Count! The Duke of Silver Shield and his wife have arrived."

Hearing this sentence, Henry's eyes lit up, thinking that it was finally about to start. He hurriedly packed the gems and let the servant lead the way. The sorceress covered her face with her hood, and silently followed behind. After this lesson, she has already felt a little bit of the master's temper, so now she behaves very obediently.

When he came to the lobby on the first floor, Henry immediately walked over to say hello with a smile on his face. "The duke welcomes you. And of course the beautiful Mrs. Brila."

"Haha, dear Earl, I never thought you would travel all the way. Tell me, something important has happened. If I can help you, I will definitely not refuse." Anta Yindun hugged with a smile, and directly brought the conversation to the point.

Henry sighed pretentiously, took out Ed Silver Shield's brooch and handed it to the Duke. "I found this on a corpse. The owner had been dead for many days when I found it, and the deadline for resurrection had passed."

"God! This is Ed's brooch! Tell me it's not true! You must have read it wrong, right?" Mrs. Brila asked tremblingly. She was very excited now, holding Henry's hand tightly.

The Duke took a deep breath and pulled his wife away. "Brilla, calm down. I think the count must have a lot to tell us, otherwise he wouldn't have specially sent out an invitation letter."

Henry nodded with a serious expression. "That's right, ma'am, you can rest here now, I need to talk to the Duke alone."

Anta Yindun comforted his wife, and followed Henry all the way to the dark basement. As soon as the door was opened, a smell of corpse came from inside. Henry didn't explain much, but just cast a "light spell", and then opened the coffin containing the corpse.

The Duke recognized Ed lying inside at a glance. He couldn't hold back his sadness any longer, rushed over and threw himself on the corpse and cried loudly. Henry stood aside and waited quietly, because now is not the best time to fan the flames. Anta Yindun stopped crying very quickly, and began to carefully examine the wounds on his son's body. Looking at the somewhat tattered body, his anger began to rise rapidly.

"Count, let's stop talking nonsense. Just tell me who killed Ed. This guy and his family will definitely suffer the most severe revenge from the Silver Shield family."

Henry took out the letters he got during his adventure, modified them a little, and handed them over one by one. In the end, he directly woke up Dawan, and asked the duke who was about to lose his mind. After the questioning was over, Anta Yindun punched the wall of the basement, venting the anger in his heart. In his eyes, the Iron Throne, the Flame Fist mercenary, and the other three dukes have all become enemies.

Looking at the duke with red eyes, Henry felt that it was almost done. If it continues to be stimulated, it may have the opposite effect. He walked over and asked softly, "Duke, I believe the enemy already knows about it. Now I just want to ask, do you want to join forces with him to wipe out these guys?"

"Of course! I can't wait to grab them all and skin them now! But it includes three dukes and more than a dozen large chambers of commerce. I have to think about the future of the Silver Shield family, and I can't ruin the family's efforts for so many years because of my own selfishness." Anta Silver Shield replied forcibly suppressing the idea of ​​revenge for his son.

Henry saw a door and immediately added a fire. "Have you heard of Arlando's prophecy?"

"The prophecy about the descendants of the God of Slaughter? Of course I've heard of it. Why did you say this suddenly? Is there any other conspiracy here?" The Duke immediately became vigilant. Because there is nothing trivial about anyone who has a relationship with God.

Henry walked over and whispered the life experiences of Saloveuk and Aberdell in his ear. Anta Silver Shield opened his mouth in surprise when he heard the news, and he instantly realized that the entire Baldur's Gate area was about to face a big cleansing. If it is done properly, not only will the son be able to avenge, but the Silver Shield family can go one step further. Not only will they be able to completely get rid of the control of the parliament, but they will also become a real Duke on the ground.

After thinking about it for a while, the Duke stared into Henry's eyes and asked: "What told me this? Tell me, what do you want to gain from this turmoil?" (To be continued...)
