The Swordsman of Faerûn

It must be known that their plan is that almost all restrictive measures against future leaders are aimed at power. An outsider who is not familiar with the place of life is not afraid of your greed for power. We have some small tricks and tricks to deal with you. If you are not greedy, this is the difficult part.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

However, even if the development of the situation is a bit different from the expected plan, what should be done still has to be done.

However, Rabiel changed his words and said: "Mr. William, we in Falls Town are facing a catastrophe, and we need the protection of brave warriors. Your Excellency is very brave, and you have rescued our town. For the good deeds of the people, we are willing to pay a lot of money and gifts, and hire Mr. William to serve as the guard of the people of our waterfall town."

When the big bear Badal heard this, he looked at Rabiel in surprise. What this guy said was different from what they had discussed before!Rabiel returned a reassuring look to his companion. As one of the smartest people in Falls Town, Rabiel thought he knew the psychology of righteous people like William best, but they would always be punished by injustice. angered by things, and will be desperate to protect all good and weak.

Changed to the argument of William's hometown, it means chivalry is in the heart, and the body is burned.

Rabir believes that with his three-inch tongue, he will be able to persuade the William family to stay and take advantage of it.The reason for being wronged is that the refugees in a town were suddenly flooded, and they had no time to collect food and goods, so they could only flee in haste (win: bear the meaning, here refers to fleeing empty-handed), and there was no wealth or money to pay them. William for honorarium.

Rabir had already thought about it. If William and others asked for a reward, he would let a group of poor refugees come forward and cry.

As the saying goes, a gentleman can be deceived by the right way, but it is difficult to ignore the wrong way.Although Rabier, a smart man in Falls Town, has never heard of this sentence, it does not prevent him from understanding similar ideas.

It's a pity that what William wants and what the smart people headed by Rabiel want to give are completely different. Rabiel and the others only want a free thug and bodyguard, but what William wants is to gather a share that can be used. Human resources, a basic base enough to support him, to help him eliminate this natural and man-made disaster caused by him.

So William refused without hesitation: "Please forgive me for refusing! Friends, I am not a mercenary who is only running around for money. This trip is just to visit friends, and I have no intention of being hired. Besides, I helped You are not looking for money and treasures, but you are not used to the brutal behavior of those beast soldiers. Therefore, you should stop talking about your hiring. Is William a profit-seeking person who is driven by others for three coins? !"

What he said was impassioned and heroic, so that Badal and others were inexplicably ashamed. Only Rabir secretly regretted that he had said the wrong thing and misestimated William's justice.

What kind of remuneration do we offer? !If he had known that this person pursued justice so much, he would have been able to coax him to bring his own food to join the guards.

The Rabiel rolled his eyes, and immediately changed his words: "Mr. William, I can't hide it from you. In fact, we have searched all the people in our town, but we can't make much money. Hiring you with a lot of money is just an excuse. We I really need your help..."

William said furiously: "Shut up! You are a villain with a sharp tongue! I hate others to deceive and take advantage of my compassion. Do you think I don't know your dirty intentions?!"

His angry reprimand was really overwhelming, and Rabiel couldn't bear William's aggressive aura immediately, and he lost his temper in a daze, and could no longer exert his small thoughts.

Seeing the instigator, William calmed down his anger and turned to the big bear Badal: "Gentlemen, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I'm powerless. Like my family of four, two little girls It's hard to be a battle force, only me and Fenya can stand a fight, but what can I do?"

Badal quickly said: "Your Excellency William killed and captured more than two dozen Santis in one battle, which shows that your family's strength is much stronger than all the refugees in our town combined."

Chantis is a discriminatory and derogatory term for the Zhentilburg people, which means the Zhentilburg people who associate with death and evil. In fact, this is just a generalization.

However, William shook his head and said: "There has never been a thing in this world that only one or two people can turn the tide. With me and my family alone, even if we can defeat two or four dozen enemies, how can we defeat ten or two dozen enemies?" There are ten dozens of Zhentil Castle legions! Also, Mr. Badal, you underestimate your own strength. You must know that there are many people and strength. It is not that you are incapable of protecting yourself, but that you do not have a good enough The leader leads you, and makes you as powerful as you should be."

Well, William has made it clear that you only need a strong and excellent leader to lead you.

However, Badal and several other refugee representatives agreed in their hearts, and what William said really touched their hearts.Whether it is the people in Dagger Valley, Falls Town, or Tesen Valley, they all think that the reason why they can't live as freely and freely as the people in Shadow Valley is because they don't have a strong leader as their leader.

And William happened to be the leader that the refugees in Falls Town needed.

So Badar and several refugee representatives fell to the ground and said in unison: "Mr. William! Please have mercy on the people of our waterfall town! We are willing to support you as the lord of Dagger Falls and rule Dagger Valley. We are willing to belong to You, become your loyal subjects, pay your taxes, and fight for you. Only because you can protect us from the malicious invasion from Zhentil Keep!"

this?William was a little confused, so that's it?Did it go well? !Will there be any problems in it?It is said that when Liu Daer got Xuzhou back then, he had to give up three times and give up three times, so it was not safe. We are also his fellow Yanhuang people, so we have to learn a little bit, right?

So William immediately pretended to be terrified and said: "Oh! Mr. Badal, how could you do this? Isn't this embarrassing me! I'm not familiar with the place, and I don't have a good reputation. How can I be your lord? ?!"

Several refugee representatives said:

"Do it! Do it!"

"We believe in Mr. William's strength!"

"With a friend like Ms. Hellen, Mr. William must also be a rare hero!"

Barbara...

William continued to put on a troubled face and said: "You guys can't represent all the refugees in Falls Town. Even if you guys agree with me, other refugees may not agree with me to be your lord! No, no, I can't Take advantage of others when you are in danger, and be an unconvincing leader!"

It must be known that thousands of people have different faces, and hundreds of people have one heart. William’s excuse really made the refugee representatives scratch their heads. Just when they were a little bit embarrassed, one of them suddenly said: "Why don't we let everyone vote openly and see if they are against it?" If there are many, we still agree with many, and then we will make the final decision.”

When everyone took a closer look, it turned out to be the clever Rabiel.

This fellow had been scolded by William before, and was almost scared out of his wits, but now he was relieved, and immediately grasped the key to the situation.Through the conversation just now, he has grasped William's true intentions, and the general situation has come to an end. What he urgently needs to do now is to find a place for himself in front of the new lord.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

There will never be a shortage of people who play tricks on the wind and opportunistically in this world.That was certainly the case with the shrewd Rabier, however unlikable he may have been.However, when he proposed that all the refugees vote together, whether it was William or others, they had to accommodate his vote.

It can be said that the clever Rabier is worthy of the word "smart". He has returned to the representative class of the entire refugee group in the most favorable and cost-effective way.Otherwise, based on his intentional manipulation of lips and tongue to disturb the way forward of the people of a town, even if he was not directly deported, he would be completely marginalized and become the lowest guilty person in the entire refugee group.

Referendum is not a panacea for governing the world. It relies on people's hearts and manipulates people's hearts, but people's hearts are hard to set, people's hearts are changeable, and they are easily confused by external things.

But sometimes, people's hearts are surprisingly unified, such as when they are in crisis.

The refugees in Falls Town lacked everything, food to wrap their stomachs, clothes to keep out the cold, and weapons to protect them from danger. All these problems were not something they could solve by themselves, so the refugees needed a leader, a strong, The seemingly omnipotent leader, so that they can survive this disaster as long as possible.

Therefore, when the refugee representatives led William to a group of refugees and asked the refugees to vote on whether to recognize William as the lord of Falls Town, almost unanimous approval was obtained.

The reason why I say almost is not to say that anyone opposes William, but that a few of the refugees are not residents of Falls Town, and they are not eligible to vote, at least in the eyes of most of the refugees in this town.

William didn't care about the difference between local and foreign people. In the final analysis, he was also a foreigner. Moreover, William's ambition was not to win people's hearts and consolidate power, but to borrow manpower to rescue disasters.

So when he was recognized by the whole people, the first thing he did was to count the population and check the supplies.After a lot of fuss, the general situation of the refugees was finally collected in William's hands.

The statistics turned out to be even worse than William expected.

Due to the sudden flood, all the staff were almost unprepared when they left their homes. Most of the people covered their bodies with single clothes. Fortunately, the solar terms are very summer at this time. Although it is a bit cold at night, everyone can bear it. Only food is hard to do. continue.

According to statistics, there are a total of 390 four refugees here, including 110 adult men, 170 nine strong women, 22 elderly people, and 81 weak children.

The terrible thing is that this team of nearly 400 people has almost nothing.Not counting the seizures from the Black Sword Legion and the orcs, all the staff had more than a dozen swords, spears and axes, so that when the refugees faced bullying by the orcs, they had to use sticks and branches as protective weapons.

Others, such as some portable daggers and knives for cutting, and some ropes and fresh leather, but there are no cooking pots, utensils, and no food reserves.

It should be said that the refugees had already run out of food today. If not, they would not have sat and waited to die in front of the orcs, and they would not even be able to escape, because they had no physical strength to run away.

To be honest, if it weren't for the extreme poverty, the residents of Tangtang, a well-known focus town, would never bow down at the feet of a stranger like William who didn't know the details.

It is also fortunate that William came in time. After all, it was only three to five days before the flood occurred. Otherwise, if he came a few days later, he would have seen starvation everywhere and a miserable situation. By then, William might not be able to hold on. It's my own heart.

After learning about the details of the refugees under his command, William knew that if he wanted to drive these people away, he had to let them have enough food first. If there was no food in their stomachs, it would be useless to say anything.

There is a lot of food in William's Fire Spirit Armband, but the food is still enough for his family of four. If it is distributed to nearly [-] refugees, it is no longer a drop in the bucket.

However, no matter how low the ration was, he had to take it out first.William first selected more than [-] middle-aged laborers and armed them with all the weapons and seized from the soldiers of the Black Sword Legion to serve as the escort and maintainer of order for the entire refugee team.

Then he set up his big pot for cooking and took out all the food, whether it was meat or grain, vegetables, fruits and vegetables, chopped them up and mixed them together, mixed them into the pot and added water to make porridge.

When the food was brought out, the entire refugee team suddenly became agitated. It took a lot of effort for William and a group of guards selected in advance to keep these hundreds of people in a little order.

Queuing to receive porridge is the biggest reason why the refugees are willing to abide by the order. Of course, it is undeniable that the shining sword and William's strict rules are also factors that cannot be ignored.

"I have my own solution to stuttering, but I have to act according to my rules. Anyone who dares to disturb the order will not only have no porridge to receive, but will also be punished by expulsion into the wilderness!" This is William cooking porridge The first rule set before.

In view of the fear of the powerful, although the refugees were restless, none of them dared to defiantly try the law by themselves.

The porridge recipients were divided into two teams. One team consisted of ordinary men, strong women and old people, and the other team consisted of women with children. William naturally didn’t ask whether the two were relatives, as long as one woman led the food. If you have a child, you are eligible to be in the mother-child team.

The two teams received the porridge at the same time, and after every ten groups of people received the porridge, the distribution would be suspended.Then fill the pot with water again, and distribute it after the water boils.

The ten groups of people who received the porridge in each round will be assembled into a group by William. Among them, the men in their prime will be selected for other appointments, and the remaining strong women, children, and the elderly will form a basic survival team. People in the team support each other and elect a team leader in a self-selected way.

Through this team leader, William gave instructions to the whole team to do some work within his capacity, such as collecting materials, making items, moving things, taking care of the wounded, and so on.

The males who are drawn out are responsible for relatively heavy responsibilities, including hunting, guarding women and children, setting up camps, and doing some heavy or dangerous physical work, etc.They were also divided into several teams, each with someone with high prestige as the leader, and these leaders were basically former refugee representatives.However, they are not equipped with real weapons, and they are basically cutting wood into soldiers.

The more than 30 personnel equipped with real weapons are the strategic force in William's hands. They are not only responsible for maintaining the order of the team, but also responsible for exploring the surrounding environment, hunting and storing food, expelling beasts, and killing people from Santi. The task of the enemies of Castle Fort.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Of course, the refugees who just drank some porridge can’t help them. The soup can only temporarily guarantee that they will not starve to death immediately. People really don't have the strength to do manual work.

So if you want to open up the situation, William has to do it himself.

The outpost established by the Black Sword Legion could not accommodate these four hundred people, so William arranged a group of refugees in the open space on the west side of the outpost, that is, the side near the border forest. After all, he came all the way from the border forest. Yes, there shouldn't be much danger.

William left Phinea, Misha'er, and Miluna among the refugees, but he led a dozen armed men into the depths of the jungle to hunt enough food for the entire refugee team.

After William left, more than 20 armed men with real weapons, led by Phinia and the big bear Badal, entered the outpost. They had to guard against the enemies from the east. It's just around the corner.

Let’s talk about William, the hunting team of more than a dozen people he led was basically not ordinary people. Among them were three rangers, two druids, a powerful fighter named Baird (fourth-level fighter), two Thieves, the rest are hunters with hunting experience (can be regarded as trainee rangers who have not yet completed their full-time job).

Among these people, the proportion of professionals is relatively high, but except for Warrior Baird, they are basically rookie-level characters.The truly experienced guys were all left by William at the camp, after all, that was the focus of protection.

As far as the entire hunting team is concerned, it is actually enough to have him in charge of combat power.

Warrior Baird is one of the few personnel that William provides weapons and equipment. In fact, William's Fire Spirit Armband stores a large number of weapons and equipment, which are basically from his trophy collection.All the equipment that can be taken into William's fancy and collected are all precious boutiques.

The reason why he didn't distribute weapons and equipment on a large scale was not that William was stingy by nature, but that if the best weapons fell into the hands of people who couldn't use them, not only would the treasures be dusted, but tragic accidents would be more likely to cause harm to others and themselves.

Baird held a magic sword with a sharp magic effect in his hand, and the blade was carefully wrapped by a piece of animal skin.This sword, Baird can easily chop trees and stones with a single wave, as well as a sickle made of rough iron, and perhaps fine iron weapons and armor can also be split, but Baird is reluctant to test it.Naturally, such a good weapon should be cherished and used carefully. How can you just chop those hard bones when it is not necessary? Isn't that a waste of treasure?

Baird's other hand was holding a small stainless steel shield. His task during this hunting trip was very simple, to protect those rookie professionals and hunters as much as possible, and to protect them when William couldn't take care of them. It will not be killed by people or wild animals like a chicken.

In fact, what Baird desires more is to become William's guard, to become a loyal shield around the new lord.

The edge of the border forest was just like when William passed by before, except for plants and a few bugs, there was no living thing in the silence.William was extremely puzzled by this situation from the very beginning, but the druid in the hunting team solved the mystery for him.

Even the worst Druids can get the information they want from nature, whether it is [Natural Language], [Animal Talk] or [Plant Talk], Druids can obtain information powerful spell.

Of course, William and the others can't find local animals to obtain information for the time being, and the [Plant Talk] few rookie druids still can't master it. The only thing they can rely on is [Natural Language].

[Words of Nature] - Druid's introductory spell, you can get some simple information from the breeze, as if the wind element is whispering in your ears.A variant of this introductory spell is [North Pointing], which can point you to the north in any windy place.

"All animals, stay away from this area! Danger is coming! Follow the goblins to the depths of the forest! Hide!" This is the message the druids got from the wind.

Someone took away all the animals that could be used as food in this area in advance.

William felt that someone was trying to make things difficult for him on purpose, it was that little bastard who didn't want to mess around anymore!

In order to atone for his sins and feed the refugees in that camp, William dared to do anything, even if the gods came, they would never want to stop him.

With sincere perception as a guide, William can easily judge where to find more prey. He said to the members of the hunting team: "It seems that someone does not want us to get enough food! This kind of person is Our enemy! I want to go one step ahead to kill that enemy and hunt enough prey. You just follow up slowly, and I will leave a path mark for you."

After all, without waiting for a group of members of the hunting team to answer, he jumped out and jumped like a flea across the tree trunks in the dense forest. The crown of every tree he stepped on would collapse after William left. But he chopped off the tree trunk with a single knife.

Later, William got impatient with chopping, and directly mobilized the curse fire energy in his body, compressed it into the blade of Autumn Water Knife, and slashed out a terrifying [Fire Slash].

But I saw a terrifying flame blade of extreme compression sweeping across the jungle, cutting all the trees and weeds along the way into ashes, and after burning out a trail of ashes hundreds of meters long and more than ten meters wide, it immediately expanded Formed into an unstable flame, but was re-accommodated by the cursed fire.

Relying on his incomprehensible ability to control fire, William wiped out all the sparks on the ashes trail he opened up.He didn't want to cause another nightmare forest fire because of his mistakes, it was no different from cheating himself.

However, this way of opening the way is simply shocking. Whether it is the members of the hunting team behind, or some existence in the border forest that presides over the escape of animals, or some local snakes, they are all disturbed by this violent movement.

The fey creatures were the first to find William, but they didn't have the courage to approach, because the flame energy contained in [Fire Slash] was too terrifying. As elves who are extremely sensitive to elemental fluctuations, they were frightened and ran away , trying to stay away from where William is.

The petite Grey and Pixie ran around, the weak Nicky dived into the mud of the puddle and cried softly, and the beautiful Treant huddled in the trunk and shivered.

William opened the way fast, and it didn't take long for him to catch up with the migrating animals. A herd of migrating swollen deer became his first prey.

Out of respect for these prey that were about to feed the refugees, William didn't kill them with the autumn water knife, but changed to a more benevolent weapon-the throwing rope.

Because live prey can be kept for a longer period of time.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

At the beginning of the hunt, there were twelve live deer, large and small, and six dead deer. It was a good harvest. William cut wooden fences to enclose the live deer.

Of course, the meat provided by just a dozen or so prey is really nothing to a refugee group of nearly 400 people. Even if they save money as much as possible, they can last for three or four days at most.

So William did not stop after confining the deer, but continued to go deep into the forest to hunt down prey.

At this time, the area he is in is no longer the prey-poor appearance of the fringe area. All kinds of birds and beasts can be said to be everywhere. There are not only animals that live here, but also animals that have just migrated here but have not yet moved. Borderlands animals.

William felt as if he had walked into his own farm, and he could kill three or five small animals with a random stick along the way, such as forest pheasants, rattan chickens, three-eyed dolphins, jumping rabbits, ostriches... the animals in this fairy forest Biological resources are so abundant, William felt that compared with the hidden forest he had wandered in the North, it was as obvious as the fertility gap between the paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River and the dry ridges in the northwest.

Of course, there are not only various birds and small animals here. When William came to a depression, he encountered a huge mountain of meat, a huge beast in the shape of a raging wild boar.

What kind of giant beast is this? Its body is like a small moving hill, covered with hard bristles like shrubs, and many horny thorns like stone pillars protrude from under the granite hard skin of the giant beast. The eyeballs are like blood-colored bathtubs, and the bulldozer-like snout has a few razor-like fangs like telegraph poles.

The giant beast's roar was like thunder, which made people feel deafening, and even the surrounding birds fell like raindrops amidst its roar.

Thunderfury Boar, a violent creature that lives in the Goblin Wasteland.They are irritable by nature and possess a power similar to that of thunder. Although they cannot be domesticated like ferocious wild boars, they can sometimes be driven into the battlefield by shrewd fey creatures.

And the Thunderfury Boar in front of William is undoubtedly an obvious example. This giant beast is breathing heavily, as loud as the whistle of an ancient steam train.It moved its extremely thick limbs, and slammed into William's position fiercely. All the trees and soil ridges along the way were split as if cut by a giant plow, leaving a wide forest walkway.

William dodged the impact of Thunderfury Boar, looked at the fresh passage it left behind, and couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing. Isn't this beast a perfect road-opening machine!

Immediately, he became interested, and began to lead Thunderfury Wild Boar around, giving this guy a hard time from time to time, so that it could feel the "kind" love from the animal trainer's father.

It's a pity that this Thunderfury Boar is very stubborn. Even though William tried his best, he even used the Autumn Knife, which can hurt the soul, and tortured the beast. It almost exhausted its physical strength but still refused to give in. There is no sign of fear or fear in the blood-colored pupils, which is extremely abnormal among normal animals, even monsters and monsters.

As a master tamer said, only creatures of fear are worth taming.

William finally understood that it was impossible for him to tame this stubborn beast.
