The Swordsman of Faerûn

Fortunately, not all soldiers have no brains at all. Diya is a rational person who has not inflated. Of course, it does not mean that this female mage apprentice has the vision to see through the truth. She just noticed that the lord's face is very ugly. ,very unhappy.

Then Diya began to reflect on what they did not do well enough, well, everyone's formation was completely messed up!This completely violated the Lord Lord's battlefield rule of "no battle without array".

The apprentice female mage immediately activated her [Phantom Sound Technique], and gave instructions to those hot-headed guys with a deafening phantom sound, ordering them to regroup and form an array.

After spending quite a while, the refugee soldiers finally re-established a slightly more orderly formation. For this reason, Dia used up all her spell slots, and she had already lost her position in the entire team. Maximum effect.

Of course, Diya still has the Missile Storm wand to use, but she really doesn't want to use up the power of the precious wand on such a battlefield where dozens of people are fighting, that's too extravagant.

Diya had to gesture to her lord for help, and asked her assistant Greto to use [Messaging] to contact William.

Later, Greto said to Diya with a look of surprise: "The lord told us to stand by and not get close to the defensive formation of the black sword sergeants."

Although it was difficult for Diya to understand the lord's order, she knew very well that she only needed to execute it.So the female magic apprentice directly conveyed the lord's instructions to the soldiers by shouting.

The refugee soldiers were in an uproar when they heard the order, but at least they did not dare to directly disobey the order.

Holding the battle gun Latis, with the autumn water knife floating beside him, William walked slowly to the formation of black sword sergeants, and said loudly: "Only one of you can leave completely, and the rest will become my captives. Or be killed here by me."

William's arrogant declaration also caused an uproar among the Black Sword sergeants. As the main force most relied on by the lord of Zhentil Castle, each of them is a strong enough fighter, and the current slave hunting team is even more Black Sword. Elite veterans of the Legion.

Although William showed unusual combat power when dealing with the orcs just now, it did not make these veterans feel desperate. For this kind of individual with extraordinary combat power, whether it is a giant, a dragon, or a strange monster , The veterans of the Black Sword Legion have a wealth of coping methods.

Of course, if William was an orc defeated by mysterious and unpredictable spells, that would be a different matter.

Seeing that William was far away from his army and approaching the formation of Black Sword veterans alone, the veterans immediately sensed the rare "opportunity". After a few gestures, five black sword sergeants suddenly jumped out and rushed towards William.

Two of the sergeants pulled out a thing like a chain hammer from their bodies. The two ends of the thing were metal balls, and the middle was connected by a twisted metal chain. Besides a few grasping places, the surface of the metal chain was densely covered with hideous scars. Barbs.

Of course, this is not a chain hammer, but a specially made activated throwing rope by Zhentil Fort people. You only need to spin this thing and throw it out. No matter where it hits the target, you will be stunned by the activated throwing rope enchanted by the [Activated Rope] spell. The cable can be like a barbed boa constrictor, tightly entwining the target and tearing the opponent's flesh and blood.

Two sergeants rushed to the front, holding their shields and suddenly launched a savage charge at William. They tried to disrupt the target's defensive rhythm and attract his attention.And the two sergeants who were a little behind wielding the activated tripwire took the opportunity to throw the tripwire, and the target was the two sergeants who started the collision.

This is of course not black sword sergeants engaging in internal strife, because when the two shield swordsmen were about to approach William, they suddenly came together with a sliding shovel, and they fell down on the ground, just getting out of the way of the spinning flying creature Throwing the tripwire, William was entangled.

William laughed lightly, raised his gun and twisted it forward, right in the middle of the activated throwing tripwire flying towards him, but he didn't want the two throwing tripwires to wind along the barrel of the gun like a boa constrictor alive. Next, it looks like it is about to pounce on him.

William swiped his sleeves, and Qiu Shui knife cut the barrel of the gun immediately, and the two activated throwing trip cables were cut into several sections in an instant, and fell to the ground twisting and struggling like dying snakes.

Immediately afterwards, William shot and killed the fifth black sword sergeant who had never shown his abilities, but he ran like a monkey, carrying a knife and rushing to the two sergeants who were projecting activation throwing tripwires.

A beautiful knife flashed, and the heads of the two black sword sergeants fell to the muddy ground with painful expressions.When the two sergeants with shields stood up, they found that in the blink of an eye, all three of their companions had died on the spot. They looked at William in horror, but they couldn't change their fate of being beheaded.

William killed two more shield-bearing sergeants, and killed them so easily and comfortably that the remaining spectators of the Black Sword Legion couldn't muster up the courage to step forward to rescue them.

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

After fighting five black sword sergeants, William felt that this group of black sword sergeants were completely different from the dozen or so black sword soldiers he had killed near the outpost.

If the escaped caster was excluded, the five black sword sergeants here could definitely kill the dozen or so black sword soldiers stationed at the outpost without injury.

If the Qiushui knife in his hand was not sharp enough, and both sides had the advantage of surprise, William would definitely have to spend a lot of effort to deal with this small battle formation of the five-member team.

Of course, the information that William has a magic weapon in his hand is naturally known to the remaining black sword sergeants, and the advantage of his sharp weapon will not be so obvious in the ensuing fight.

At this time, there were only eighteen soldiers left in the black sword sergeant, and a leader who was obviously of higher status, wearing a mage's robe and holding a short staff.

When William held the sword in one hand and pulled out the spear in the other, the mage leader of the black sword sergeants finally spoke.

He said with an ugly face: "Your Excellency should be the rebel William from the Northland!"

William was carrying a gun and a knife, tilted his head and asked, "Do you know me?"

The mage leader said seriously: "Of course! We are very clear about everything you have done, including the inside story of you killing the Marquis Erastu and stealing the treasure house of Mirabar. Those guys in the Silver Moon Alliance always like to find some unknown people. Little people acted as scapegoats. Obviously they made a big mistake on you, that proud woman in Alustriel underestimated you."

William felt that this self-righteous villain leader seemed to have misunderstood something, but he would not be foolish to correct the other party's misunderstanding.

He deliberately used a somewhat ambiguous tone, and said displeasedly: "Don't mention that woman to me! They are all cannibals without spit out their bones!"

Of course, what William was referring to was another matter, but it did not prevent him from deepening the misunderstanding of this bastard from Zhentil Castle.When you are facing a mage, lying is a very stupid thing, but answering irrelevant questions is not, because [detect lies] is almost the first small method that almost all mages will open before talking.

Just when the mage leader was about to persuade William with words, there was a sudden exclamation and screams from the carriage circle where the slaves were held behind them, and someone broke into there.

William shouted angrily, and threw Latis' spear again, aiming at the mage leader who was talking to him.At the same time, he swung his knife and slashed out a mighty flame, which almost included all the black sword soldiers.

Feniya's angry shouts came from the carriage circle, the voices of Misha'er and Miluna also sounded in the air, and the neighing of Pegasus Mo Zion.

It turned out that before the war started, William sent Phinea and several rangers and thieves in advance to sneak all the way to the camp where the enemy's slaves were held. Misha'er and Meluna rode a flying horse to provide them with directions. guidance.

Only when they arrived at the carriage circle and launched a surprise attack inside, was the decisive moment in William's heart.The reason for making such trouble is that Zhentil Castle's slave hunting team has a very resentful tradition. Whenever their slave hunting team is attacked, once it finds that the situation cannot be reversed, the slave hunting team will Kill all the slaves before retreating so that raiders who come either to cut off their beards or come to free the slaves will return in vain.

After such a long time, the slave owners of Zhentil Castle found that the frequency of attacks on their slave catchers was greatly reduced, so this tradition was carried out more thoroughly.

The burning flames almost scorched the naked skin and hair of all the black sword soldiers, while the mage leader was cut off half of his arm by a sudden shot.

Burning deadly flames all over William's body, he rushed into the opponent's army formation and slashed and killed them. One by one, the panicked black sword veterans who were burned died under his knife. Their screams were so shrill that it made the scalp numb.

When William came to the severely injured mage leader, he saw the mage leader glaring at him with resentment on his face, and said, "Magic fire? Damn it! You deceived all of us! Are you Sandriel Shah?" Who is Searle?"

William was at a loss, dear, which onion are you talking about?

Of course Sandriel Sassel is not onion, on the contrary, she is very famous.Sandril Sassel is the known curse-fire witch who bears the inheritance of the curse-fire. She has a deep hatred with the ruler of Zhentil Castle. She has relied on the power of the curse-fire to fight Zhentil The attack on the Citadel dealt such a blow to the evil lair that the Zhentarim, the ruler of the city, had to temporarily turn from light to darkness.

As a high-ranking officer of Zhentil Castle who was deeply tossed by the curse fire, the mage leader was very familiar with the power of the curse fire. Even if William concealed the shape of the curse fire, he couldn't hide it from the mage leader's eyesight.

The mage leader looked back at the chaotic carriage circle, and said regretfully: "If the God of Darkness hadn't abandoned us, you would never have a chance to save those humble slaves!"

It turned out that under normal circumstances, each Black Sword Legion unit would have one or two priests of Bane to act as guards. For example, this powerful Black Sword Sergeant Veteran Team is equipped with many experienced priests of Bane.

It's a pity that at this time, the gods were knocked down from the mortal world. Unless the corresponding god's holy body is nearby, all priests will not be able to obtain power from their gods. Among them, only the priest of the goddess of magic except.

The mage leader said to William with a miserable smile: "Kill me! Another holder of the magic fire! Burn me to death with your cruel flame!"

However, William cut off his other hand with a single knife, causing the leader of the mage to let out a scream that was not human-like. This is so much more painful than when he cut off his arm just now!

The mage leader's face turned blue from the pain. Of course, it wasn't just because of the super pain. He found that his teleportation spell unexpectedly failed.

William kicked away the spear of Latis that was hanging half-drawn. The reason why he wanted to chop off the second hand of the mage leader was because he wanted to grab the spear of Latis.Although William didn't know that the other party wanted to take advantage of him while teleporting and escaping, and snatch him a precious magic weapon, he also had a premonition that something bad would happen if the enemy caught the gun.

So he lowered the knife, um, Qiu Shui knife is more intimate, like a little padded jacket.

Today's Lattice's Gun is no different than before, she has become a little scumbag who has completely empathized with others, and has become indifferent to William.

The reason why the "little couple" broke up was that William disliked the [Must Hit and Return] characteristic of Latis's gun, which was a bit disturbing. He intentionally missed it once while hunting, and then the [Must Hit and Return] characteristic of Latis's gun It will fail.

From then on, William could only use her as a normal spear in the way of the overlord's bow, and no longer had to worry about hitting or missing the target.

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

William chopped off the head of the mage leader with a single knife, and then rushed into the defensive circle surrounded by four-wheeled carriages.When he saw the situation inside clearly, he felt angry and funny.

Phineya didn't spend much, and knocked down the three remaining enemies. They were not black sword sergeants, but slave traders from Zhentil Castle.

What is irritating is that the male slaves who were not imprisoned actually tried to attack Phinea under the threat of the fallen slave trader, just because the half-giant was ordered by William before the battle to carefully protect these captured refugees , so she was a little restrained when she shot, she didn't dare to slash with Thunder Frost, so she could only drive them away with strength and fists.

William resented these bastards for their help in evil, and he went forward and knocked them down one by one. Although he did not take the lives of these stupid wretches, he did not mutilate their limbs, but he made the tormenting darkness The method made them suffer from a lot of muscle and bone training, so that many people cried and rolled all over the floor, and many weak-willed guys even suffered from incontinence.

With the women and children in the four-wheeled carriage rescued, this not-so-perfect raid came to an end, but William was not very satisfied with the performance of his soldiers.

These soldiers, who were homeless refugees a few days ago, not only have terrible tactical skills, but also like to be hot-headed.

Compared with fighting in an army formation, they are more accustomed to fighting in small groups, which was very obvious when they besieged and killed the remaining orcs.

It should be noted that fighting with a small team of a few or a dozen people, and fighting with a regiment of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people are completely two concepts.

William estimated that if he wanted to break Zhentil Fort, he would not even think about having an army of thousands of people, so he always wanted to imitate some experience in his previous life and build an army that prohibits orders.

However, it seems that this idea has a long way to go.

Moreover, the psychological quality of these people is not good. Of course, it does not mean that they dare not fight. On the contrary, the refugee soldiers are very skilled in fighting skills, and they cooperate with each other tacitly, and they are full of fighting spirit.

It's just that they tend to inflate themselves with a little achievement, and then blindly challenge opponents they can't actually face.In fact, this is also a common problem of most Faerun locals. As long as a farmer is lucky enough to kill three or two goblins, he feels that he is talented and a natural hero and adventurer, and then embarks on the path of adventurers. way back.

For a person who lives on adventures and battles, the experience of failure is even more valuable than continuous victories, because it can make you brainier.

Fortunately, the temporary acting commander chosen by William was not bad. The female mage apprentice Diya pulled the reins of the refugee soldiers who were about to run away in time, saving them from suffering a tragic blow.

Most of the women and children who were released were reunited with their families. Only then were they convinced that they were truly saved, and countless people couldn't help crying bitterly.

Of course, it would be better if some men who are the pillars of the family have less foul smell on their bodies.

Of course, there were also those who cried bitterly while hugging the dead bodies. When the men in their family were dragging the carriage to build a defensive circle, they were disliked for being too slow with their hands and feet and were stabbed to death on the spot.In fact, those who have lost their loved ones should be grateful. If William and the others had not defeated the black sword sergeant and the orcs, they would have become the dinner of the orcs without a man as a fetter.

The refugee soldiers gathered these poor people who had just been freed, and William stood on the top of the four-wheeled carriage and shouted to them: "Mr. It's not for free. I want you to join my domain and work for me in exchange for keeping you all safe and keeping you well fed and clothed so that you have a warm and safe comfort home."

At this time, a little girl who seemed to be about the same age as Mi Sha'er suddenly stood up. Regardless of the obstruction of the adult woman next to her, she said loudly: "My kind lord, what will happen if we don't join?"

There is only the woman who seems to be her mother beside the girl, and there is no man who acts as a father, but this little girl is braver than all the men, which William appreciates very much, and it is also his hope The quality that Misha could possess, the little one was almost as sensitive as a shy fawn at first.

William didn't jump out of the carriage, he looked down at the little girl condescendingly, wanting to see if this little guy was really brave enough.

He pretended to be cold and said: "I have established a refugee camp on the edge of the jungle in the north. Anyone who is willing to follow me can join the camp and get full food and safety protection. Those who are not willing to join me, You will not be allowed to enter the camp, nor will you be allowed to hang around, but I will give you a little food to give you the strength to migrate elsewhere."

The little girl has long golden hair and stubborn eyes, but she smiled unexpectedly and said: "My mother and I are willing to join your territory, Lord Lord. I thought you would say that you would arrest or forcibly expel Those who refuse to join."

William jumped out of the carriage, looked at the clever little girl, and said, "May I know your name? Brave lady!"

The little girl said: "My name is Selur, and I am nine years old this year."

William really likes this little guy. A child with this kind of heart is really rare, and he is simply a piece of rough jade.William believed that after his own teaching, this child would definitely become an evenly matched or even slightly superior opponent to Misha'er.

Yes, William somehow developed a love for this child and wanted to train her.

Selur's mother bowed to William and said, "My lord, thank you for taking me in. I am Maya, the mother of this child. Please tolerate Selul's rude behavior towards you."

William looked up, but suddenly found that Cyrule's mother, Maya, was a rare stunner. She had three-dimensional facial features, high nose bridge, big eyes, sword-like eyebrows, and plump lips. Seeing her there is an urge to possess her.

Of course, now William has been able to control himself very well. Although he is indeed amazed by this woman, what William really takes a fancy to is Selur as his daughter. He has to show it to his future apprentices. The demeanor of being a teacher by oneself.

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

More than 100 refugees were rescued in this battle, including 47 adult men, but they did not gain William's trust because they had besieged Phinea under the instigation of slave traders.

Of course, William also gained a rare pair of mother and daughter. He implicitly expressed his intention to accept the child as a student to the girl's mother, Maya, but Maya relied on her intuition as a woman to feel that the lord had a lot of love for her. There is no intention of exploring.

As for men, Maya, who has always been known for her beauty, has seen a lot, but this young lord is more restrained, and his thoughts are more difficult to detect.

Maya thought that at night, the pious young lord would not be able to resist visiting her, because no one could resist her charm, and this was her greatest reliance on protecting herself and her daughter.

But William didn't care to pay attention to the small thoughts of the beautiful beauty Maya. Almost all the rescued refugees joined William's team. No one wanted to be expelled at this time. The wilderness after natural disasters is more dangerous than ever. Tilburg's evil army, and more monsters whose lairs were destroyed by the flood, are also roaming the wild more frequently.

On the way William and the others returned to the camp with the four-wheeled carriage, several groups of crazy goblins and various hungry monsters, for example, many monsters that looked like a combination of spiders and praying mantises attacked the team separately.

The goblins didn't even cause the slightest trouble to the convoy, but those bug monsters called itter monsters by the locals were more troublesome. They always ambushed silently by the roadside, and then used cobweb-like jets and Groups of poisonous scorpions and poisonous spiders launched a surprise attack.

Anyone who lives in the valley has an innate fear of it monsters, so when they appear, these refugees, mostly locals, are all terrified, including the soldiers under William, their reaction speed to the surprise attack Inevitably affected.

When dealing with these ugly insects, Misha'er's [Fireball Art] played an extremely effective role. She always used burning fireballs to disperse the swarming poisonous insects and burn those sticky spider webs, and then Phinea Will rush up in time to hack those itt monsters.

It has to be said that the cooperation between the sister-in-law and sister-in-law has become more and more skillful in the battle.

Xiaomi Luna also performed very well. Her hand crossbow hits almost every shot. Whether it is a goblin who has lost his mind or a poisonous insect that slipped through the net, it is hard to escape the fate of being pierced by the arrow.

The sassy performance of the three women completely fascinated the other girl. Celur almost obsessively looked at Misha'er who swung Fang Qiu in the battle. This is exactly the life she wanted, not like her mother taught her. Like that, to guess the man's mind.

William was not worried about these brainless attackers. His attention had been focused on the distance, and a group of unfriendly eyes had been spying on him and his team.

The perception from the spirit told William that it was a big problem, a big problem that was difficult to deal with.William wasn't worried about those enemies with astonishing fighting power, or powerful opponents, the big deal was that the big guys would break up at once, just draw a knife to open the film.

In terms of fighting, who was William afraid of? !Even if the opponent has thousands of horses and iron walls, he is not afraid. At worst, he can integrate the natives of the flame world at once, and then pull them over as cannon fodder, which can kill the enemy as much as possible.

What William worries about is those "enemies" who cannot be dealt with by fighting.

Unfortunately, such a character exists in the wild mountains and forests near Daggerdale.

Randall Morn, the last lord before Zhentil Castle occupied Dagger Valley, he and his lord guard were defeated by the Black Sword Legion more than 20 years ago, and became a wanted fugitive, wandering in the mountains and forests on the edge of the territory all year round Waiting for an opportunity to regain their own territory.

One of the most notable things Randall Mohn did was to kill Malik, the local consul who was said to have been supported by Zhentil Fort people five years ago.

However, this seemingly glorious event led to even more disastrous disasters for the locals. The people of Zhentil Castle began to control Dagger Valley by means of colonial plunder, and a large number of sheriffs from Zhentil Castle were sent here, and then With the cooperation of local gangsters, they frantically exploited and plundered the residents of Dagger Valley.

The army of Zhentil Keep entered the mountains and besieged Randall Morn and his followers.

Instead of helping their former lord, the suffering natives watched on as Randall Morn's followers were arrested, killed, and some even applauded.

The reason is simple. The original consul Malik was not a puppet of Zhentil Castle. When he was alive, Dagger Valley and Zhentil Castle were allies with almost equal status. The inhabitants of the Vale are far happier than they were under their previous lords.

Many people were dissatisfied with Randall Moon's killing of Malik, including most of the residents of Falls in the refugee camp.

Of course, there are also a large number of diehards who still support Randall Morn and are willing to accept the rule of the former lord.

When William became lord, the refugee representatives told him everything about Randall Moon.
