The Swordsman of Faerûn

It didn't take long for William to find out that a raiding party composed of orcs and humans was searching for refugees nearby, so after hunting a large number of wild animals, William ordered that after he left, no refugees would be allowed to enter the jungle for hunting and gathering. That old wood bump would play dirty when he wasn't around.

And William's worries are by no means unfounded, the gods of the jungle are so narrow-minded, and they are notoriously so.

William left the refugee camp with most of the armed members of the Extraordinary team. Although they basically didn't have mounts, there was such an unscientific and unreasonable existence of magic in this world.

William helped that Da Sophilia to turn the world upside down in the chaos, but it was not without extra benefits.William got a permission reward, he can cast an additional non-direct lethal or non-negative random spell every day, this spell does not consume spell slots, and there is no level limit (level 0-9), you can only see what the spell is luck.

Of course, if William knows a spell that meets the corresponding conditions, he can also use this spell instead of a random spell.

Thanks to the crappy mage apprentices in the refugee camp, William really got a spell scroll that meets the requirements in the past two days, [Group Swift Footsteps].

This is the loot of a mage apprentice who dug up the clothing left by the escaped Black Sword Legion spellcaster. The clever mage apprentice did not hide the scroll, but dedicated it to her new lord .

William, who is quite interested in magic, readily accepted the contribution of the female mage apprentice, and of course he also gave her a richer reward.

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

The female sorcerer apprentice Diya happily held the Missile Storm wand that she just got a few days ago. This is the reward she got for offering the spell scroll to Lord William.

The spell scroll [group quick footsteps] is a tasteless thing for Diya, because it is a one-time consumable, and at most it can make her run faster when she is running for her life, and it is only for multi-person troops or Only when the battle group uses it can the value of the scroll be maximized.

However, the Missile Storm Wand rewarded by the lord is a magic treasure no less than an artifact in terms of mage apprentices. Diya can release [Magic Missile] fifty times with this wand, and the number of missiles released each time is four As long as she carefully observes and ponders when releasing [Magic Missile], Diya believes that she may be able to thoroughly learn this spell before the charge of this wand is exhausted.

Diya is a resident of Dagger Falls Town. She was accepted as an apprentice by a powerful mage from Zhentil Castle together with many children. However, this does not mean that Diya and her partners were lucky. The beginning of the poor children's doom.

The purpose of the mage from Zhentil Castle in Dagger Falls is to study a magical mage tower—the tower of the sheriff.This fortress-style mage tower is located near Dagger Falls and has been rebuilt many times over hundreds of years. Whether it is locals or foreign invaders, they want to take this building as their own, but it is a pity that they have not yet People can get what they want.

Because any intruder who enters the Sheriff's Tower will be continuously bombarded by [Lightning], [Fireball], [Disintegration] and [Meteor Shower] spells in turn, and the building itself also has powerful spells self-healing.

The purpose of the wizards in Zhentil Castle to recruit apprentices is to let these apprentices enter the interior of the Sheriff's Tower to explore the way, so as to facilitate their observation and research.

Thanks to the sudden flood, her titular teacher cast a spell and flew away as soon as the flood came, but Diya escaped the fate of being sent to death in time.

The lord cast [Quick Footsteps] on everyone, and even if they were wearing heavy armor, they could move forward at a speed almost like a gallop.

When it comes to armor, Diya feels that her lord is definitely a super rich nobleman, not to mention the craftsmanship of the so-called fine steel armor and weapons, although they are definitely not inferior to the best dwarf craftsmen Grandmaster.

Just because of the material of these metal products, Diya knows what this copper-red metal is. This is a rare magical metal with excellent flame fusion properties, which can ignore most flames with a low core temperature. Damage is the best material for making various fire-resistant equipment.

It is said that very few samples of this metal, known as fiery copper steel, have been found only in the depths of active volcanoes.

It's hard for the female magic apprentice to imagine what kind of luxurious house is able to take out such a large amount of fire, copper and steel in one go to make weapons and armor to equip a group of refugees.

Just as Diya was running with the large army and thinking about it, their target appeared.

Another joint army of human scum and orcs, this time their number is larger, at least two dozen soldiers of the Black Sword Legion, and almost the same number of orcs, behind them there is a four-wheeled carriage, there are some people on the carriage. They were loaded with grain and miscellaneous goods, and some were loaded with women and children, while a group of adult human men were pulling the carriage.

The lord waved to the black Pegasus flying in the sky, and Diya knew that sitting on the back of the Pegasus were the lord's two younger sisters.

They are so lucky that they are enviable. Every time the female mage apprentice sees them, she has a rather sour sense of inferiority. It should be a great feeling to fly in the sky carefree.

When the lord showed up with his army, Zhentil Keep's badass combined army spotted us right away.The lord ordered the soldiers to form an array. Warriors wearing thick scale armor, holding shields and long swords walked in a row at the front, followed by rangers and wandering men wearing chain mail and holding steel crossbows. The person, again, is a druid who also wears chain mail and holds a warhammer and a wooden staff.

In the end, there are the female mage apprentice Diya and another half-baked warlock named Greto. Greto can only know one kind of spell, [Message], and of course Diya herself is not much better.

[Messaging], the caster can whisper with the target at a distance (must be within sight).When he was in Waterfall Town, Gretto's spells were considered the most useless, but the new lord didn't think so.

Lord William even claimed that half-baked sorcerers' spells were abilities of tactical value, perhaps.Diya would not admit that Gretto had a coquettish girl with plenty of milk as his reliance, and the lord even entrusted that shameless cow Bichi with a treasure as a back-up guard.

When the soldiers lined up and prepared to move forward, the lord began his heroic speech:

"Soldiers! What you are about to face is villains who invade your homeland, plunder and kill your loved ones! They are evil forces from Zhentil Castle! Now! You have no way out! Your parents, wives, brothers Sisters and children await your protection! Kill these villains! Slay them with your swords, shoot them with your crossbows, and smash their heads with your hammers!

soldiers!Please trust your lord William, he will lead the charge! "

All the soldiers were excited by the lord's speech, and we beat our shields and armor with our weapons.

The lord said to Baird, the leader of the soldiers: "Baird! I will charge first! You must lead the soldiers forward slowly, and you must not destroy the integrity of the formation!"

Baird, as the captain of the lord's guard, shouted excitedly: "My lord! I would like to follow in your footsteps and charge together!"

The lord ruthlessly refused: "Sorry! Baird, you are too weak! If you follow me, you will only die in vain and slow down my charge! Commanding the array line is what you should do!"

Regarding the delusion of Baird, that stupid guy, Diya just wanted to laugh at him. What made you, a gutless fool, have the delusion of being able to charge side by side with the lord on the battlefield!

Of course, as the temporary commander on the battlefield, Diya needs to ensure that he cannot laugh carelessly.

That's right, Diya was appointed by William as the temporary commander on the battlefield, because she also has a spell that can be called a tactical weapon, [phantom sound].She can create an illusory voice in the ears of several targets in sight, conveying something she wants the other party to hear, and Diya is rational and calm enough, which is why William likes her.

Of course, in Diya's view, the reason why the lord reused her was because she showed enough loyalty, such as "selflessly" offering the spell scroll that should normally be greedy.

If possible, Diya would even be willing to offer her whole body to the lord without reservation, but it's a pity that she is too thin, except for her small face, which is slightly more delicate, there is almost nothing special about her body.

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

When they saw William's uninvited guests in armor and soldiers, the sergeants of the Black Sword Legion from Zhentil Castle showed excellent military qualities. The carriages formed a circle, but some slaves with slow hands and feet stepped forward and killed them with a sword.

After the carriages were assembled for a while, the sergeants of the Black Sword Legion no longer cared about the slaves pulling the carriages, and quickly walked out of the carriage circle to form a formation.

They are not worried that the captured male slaves will escape, because the wives and children of these cart slaves are locked in the carriage.As long as there is a guy who escapes, his family and children will inevitably become the blood of the orcs, and one or two slaves in the same group will be randomly selected, including their families, to be cooked and killed by the orcs, which is the so-called joint punishment.

So even if one of the male slaves wanted to run away regardless of the life and death of his family, the others would try their best to stop him.

The soldiers under William lined up in an untidy formation, slowly but firmly advancing towards the carriage circle, while the human sergeants of Zhentil Fort formed a slightly relaxed skirmish line and began to advance slowly.

As the most irritable and undisciplined soldiers, the orcs naturally wouldn't line up obediently. Of course, they were not stupid, knowing that single-handedly attacking the human formation was an act of death.

Therefore, several of the strongest orcs looked at each other, then the hedgehogs gathered together and howled at the same time, and then other orcs also howled and came up.

They were scattered and crowded together, distinguishing their positions by their strength and physique, and some even scuffled each other a few times, until all the orcs felt that they had found their proper place.

The orcs find their positions very quickly, and it only takes a few minutes for orcs who are familiar with each other to determine where they should stay in the battle formation.

Of course, if unfamiliar or unfamiliar orcs form an formation together, it will be miserable. If they don't fight a few times internally and kill a group of unlucky ones who are too hard-headed, the orc formation will never be able to form. Of course, if they It's another story when there is a strong enough orc leader (see Kingdom of Arrows).

The orcs huddled together suddenly shouted in unison. They were like a herd of frightened wild boars, even though they were still separated by hundreds of steps, they rushed towards the army formation in the refugee camp.

There was no formation, no order, and no one to direct them. The orcs just ran wildly and rushed towards William and his men at a speed close to sprinting.

Although William was somewhat disdainful of the orc's almost mindless charge, he actually didn't dare to underestimate it.The reason is only because of the perverted racial advantage of the orcs.

The average adult male—orcs are all over two meters tall, and some with prominent physiques can even reach over two meters five (the half-giant Phinea's height is less than two meters four); corresponding to the height of the orcs is , The strength and stamina of the orcs are also exceptional. They can overthrow the bison with bare hands, and even break the neck of the bison; the orcs can run two kilometers at a sprint speed, which is not even the case for relatively good war horses.

When the orcs who launched the pig rush attack were fully armed, their power was almost the same as that of the heavy cavalry charging into the formation. In essence, they were a group of super infantry with the impact of heavy cavalry.So even though their tactics are crude and rough, they can gallop across the land of Faerun for thousands of years without falling down. I don't know how many famous or not famous city-states and kingdoms fell under the charge of the orcs.

The orc race in Faerun is indeed very perverted. Whether it is humans, elves, dwarves or other races, basically they are not opponents of the same number of orcs in battles in the wild, and they are almost all taken away in waves. Human heavy cavalry can struggle a little.

In order to fight against the orc's charge tactics, the dwarves who had been pushed into a hurry even developed the profession of war mad dwarves as a means of confrontation.

The so-called war mad dwarves must have the strongest will, the most fanatical fighting spirit, and the spirit of daring to die. They wear heavy armor full of spikes and barbs and steel nails and iron boots, facing The orc's swine charge launched a deadly reverse charge to interrupt the orc's charge.As far as the fighting style of the war mad dwarves is concerned, a narrow escape is not enough to describe their loss rate. The dwarves who are qualified to become a war mad dwarf are all the top elites among the dwarves. bearable.Therefore, after the war mad dwarves prospered in history for a while, they inevitably disappeared in the clock of time.

It is said that now only the king of Mithril Hall, Bruno Warhammer, still has a few dwarves who know the law of war madness (after all, Mithril Hall was too rich).

Magic and solid walls are the effective means for normal human troops to resist the impact of orcs. William and the others have no walls, only two poor spellcasters, and their magic power is just a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.

But they have William.

As a powerful flame lord who could rival the incarnation of the gods, William even had the confidence to kill these orcs and Zhentil Castle sergeants alone, although it might take a little effort.

However, William's fundamental purpose was not to kill the soldiers of Zhentil Castle. What he wanted was for those affected by the disaster to be freed from the disaster.

The so-called giving a man a fish is not as good as giving a man a fish. Only when the disaster victims re-establish their homes and live independently with a proud attitude can William's goal be successfully achieved.

Therefore, in this process, William can show super inhuman combat effectiveness, but he must not do things that one person can conquer the world by himself.If these professional soldiers under him become spectators on the battlefield who can only rely on William, it will be completely ruined!

Of course, today is the first real first battle for the team under William. Although he has initially cultivated the soldiers' sense of cooperation through hunting operations in the forest, their combat experience, resistance to pressure and self-confidence are still lacking. very.Therefore, William needs to control the intensity of the enemies they have to face, so as not to be overwhelmed by an overly powerful enemy.

So when he saw the orcs launch a pig charge, William first ordered the pale Baird, then raised the Latis gun in his hand, and roared loudly: "I will lead the charge! Crush the enemy's charge !"

Before the words were finished, William rushed out instantly like a sports car with a sudden gas pedal.

But within two or three breaths, even before the soldiers of the refugee corps marched in line to understand what their lord had done, William had already collided with the fastest orc.

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

Normally speaking, when facing an enemy with superior numbers on the battlefield, William would always launch an attack from the enemy's weak position, and then, like peeling an onion, dismember the enemy's formation bit by bit. This is also an excellent strategy. The wisest choice for a tactician.

However, this time William did not do so.

Regardless of the fact that there were only twenty or thirty orcs, when they charged in a group, the forty or fifty professionals under William, who were mostly novices, couldn't bear the impact of the orcs at all, and were taken away by a wave. Basically, it's a surefire result.

There is a saying called "Destroy the enemy's front in Zhengrui", but it is the best portrayal of William at this time.He was like a fired shell, slamming into the very center of the orc formation.

This is the place where the orcs gather the most, and it is also where their most powerful individuals are located. Only those second-rate orcs will be squeezed out to charge on the two wings.

William danced the six-foot-long spear of Latis into an impenetrable gun curtain, and any orcs within his charging range were stabbed into pieces all over the sky, including the orcs with their weapons. The time orc's pig formation turned into a bloody meat grinder, screaming and howling.

This sudden shock battle happened so quickly that everyone on the battlefield, no matter whether they were participants or bystanders, had no time to react, and the battle was basically over.

William, wielding Latis's gun, was like a human-shaped pulverizer, smashing the main force of the orcs into pieces of meat and limbs all over the ground. Only a dozen orcs on the two wings escaped the fate of being crushed by chance.

Of course, these surviving orcs didn't have a good time, because when William charged into the battle, he also released the Qiushui knife that could automatically walk around to find the enemy.

The task of Qiu Shui Dao is not to kill the enemy, it only needs to repair the ankles of those orcs who slipped through the net, so that they lose the ability to run fast, and then the army of refugees formed a battle formation to kill these lame orcs. Surround and kill.

When these surviving orcs were scratched their legs and feet, their screams were more horrific than those of the dying orcs. This was the excessive pain caused by the characteristics of Qiushui knife tearing the soul.

William's "feat" of massacring more than 20 orcs completely stunned everyone on the battlefield, whether it was his subordinates or the soldiers of Zhentil Fort, or those who stayed in the four-wheeled carriage and waited for the fate to be pronounced. slaves.

Of course, although the soldiers of Zhentil Castle were shocked by William's terrifying combat power, they were only shocked and troubled, and did not lose their courage to fight. Among them, there is no shortage of giants, monsters or dragons that can defeat hundreds or even thousands of people.

However, the impact on William's subordinates was much greater. They were basically locals who had never traveled far. It would not be an exaggeration to describe them as "hillies".In the eyes of these people, a fighter who can defeat three or five strong men is considered a great elite, such as Baird or the big bear Badal.

And an orc soldier needs at least three to five fighters like Baird or Badar to barely resist. Today, their lord can kill more than 20 extremely strong orcs in one go. Does this mean that, The lord is stronger than a hundred Bairds or the big bear Badal combined? !

At this moment, Diya, the female mage apprentice who is the temporary commander of the waterfall town army, has fallen into the trance of worshiping the lord too much, so much so that she forgot to give orders to the soldiers. Greto didn't perform any better than Dia.

But Baird, who was second only to the lord standing in the front row, was the first to react. After seeing William's shocking and inexplicable record again, he was ashamed at first that he wanted to fight side by side with the legendary lord He was overwhelmed by the formation, and then he was proud and proud that he could follow in the footsteps of such a powerful lord.

Baird raised his Enemy Sword. This is the name he gave to the magic sword that the lord bestowed on him, which means sharp and invincible sword, referred to as Enemy Sword.

In his other hand, he held a kite-shaped shield of fire-bronze steel. Baird slapped the shield with the spine of his sword and shouted: "Soldiers! Our lord is killing the enemy, but we stand here watching Is this the battle you want?!

Do not!This is not the fight I want!At least we can't see our lord alone on the battlefield!We are the swords of the lords!We are the lord's shield!We should follow the lord's side and fight side by side! "

A group of soldiers have also recovered from their senses at this time, and they also slapped their weapons and shields vigorously to show the resonance with Baird.

Baird held up the magic long sword and shouted excitedly: "I will follow in the footsteps of Lord William! Charge against the current enemy! Soldiers of Falls Town! Charge! May we be invincible!"

A group of soldiers roared excitedly in unison. Led by the initiator Baird, they charged towards the remaining orcs in a relatively scattered formation.

And William, who killed 27 orcs in a row, also needs to take a breath at this moment. No one can not need to take a breath after a fierce output.

After all, while he was sprinting at a high speed, he also slashed out hundreds of shots. If he had a mount like a fierce horse to share the pressure of sprinting, William might still be able to sprint repeatedly. It's a pity that his Pegasus It has been lent to Misha and the others to ride.

William stood in the center of the battlefield, leaning on his gun. While recovering his strength, he watched the battle of his subordinates with great interest.

In fact, the battle process of Baird and others is not very exciting, and it can even be said to be a bit boring.They first took advantage of the large number of people, and several strong warriors held up their shields to launch a brutal charge against the orcs, and then the archers composed of rangers and rogues shot at the orcs who were hit and lost their positions, and finally the Germans Ruy or an idle warrior hits back and smashes the orc's skull with a warhammer.

Because the legs and feet of these surviving orcs were injured, their movements were limited, and their fighting spirit was shattered by William's violent impact, when they faced the refugee soldiers in Falls Town, they did not resist very fiercely, and even had a few direct attacks. Give up struggling.

Soon the remaining orcs were strangled by the soldiers.

The refugee soldiers who had successfully harvested the lives of more than a dozen orcs were about to inflate their self-confidence to the sky at this moment. They suddenly found that the seemingly terrifying orcs seemed not difficult to deal with.They just cooperated a little bit, and those stupid stupid guys were surrounded and killed easily, just like killing a big clumsy fat pig.

Therefore, these confident soldiers turned their attention to the villains of Zhentil Castle who were standing in line to watch the battle, and the swordsmen of the Black Sword Legion.

Although the swordsmen of the Black Sword Legion also wore heavy armor and lined up with standard swords and shields, in the eyes of the refugee soldiers, including Baird, their aura was far worse than those violent orcs.

Baird and the others believed that as long as they rushed forward bravely, the offal from Zhentil Castle would be smashed into slag like a castle on the beach.

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

William couldn't help being amused by the stupidity of his subordinates. A group of brainless bastards actually wanted to attack the Black Sword Legion of Zhentil Castle that had formed a battle formation.

Even someone like William who doesn't know much about the information of the Black Sword Legion can understand one thing. The sergeants of the Black Sword Legion can command a larger number of orc servants with a small number of people. Their strength is absolutely not to be underestimated. watch for.

The reason for saying this is related to the habits of orcs.

Orcs can be regarded as the most brutal and dishonest race in the world, almost none of them, even goblins are more disciplined than orcs.

Orcs agree with an idea that power is power, and it must be a power that can be seen and touched.For example, the leaders of the orcs are the strongest individuals in the tribe, and they also enjoy the most females - orcs and direct orc cubs. In theory, these female orcs and orc cubs will be protected by the power of the leader, but this protection only Will exist within the sight of the orc leader.

Of course, the reason why the orc tribe lasted for a long time is that there is a set of self-consistent racial rules, but it is not the focus of our discussion.

The point is, if the human sergeants of the Black Sword Legion did not have the strength to suppress the orc servants, they would definitely be backlashed by the orc servants as soon as they left the base camp.

If William's cheating level combat power is subtracted, the previous orc servant army definitely has the strength to crush the entire refugee army.

It's a pity that the refugee soldier, who was dazzled by the momentary victory, challenged the black sword sergeant without knowing what he could do. What kind of self-inflated ah!
