The Swordsman of Faerûn

It should be noted that due to the existence of magic, many chemical knowledge in William's previous life have been abolished. For example, gunpowder with traditional ingredients cannot form a powerful and lethal explosion in Faerun and most other planes.

However, this does not mean that there are no substitutes for explosives.

In fact, there are many kinds of natural explosives that can replace gunpowder in nature. For example, a plant called explosive tree, the fruit it bears will turn into a viscous milk-white-syrup- —Liquid, as long as this kind of slurry is hit with a little force, it will be detonated like nitroglycerin, and when the juice of this explosive fruit is completely dried, it will be a top-notch solid bomb, and its power is definitely not comparable to that of a T-yellow bomb of the same volume. Dynamite is poor.

Of course, it’s not just this one. The blazing glue that adventurers always have is comparable to the deadliest white phosphorus incendiary bomb, and the red dragon’s dung is also a good low-efficiency biological explosive, which can be used as a good propellant for thermal weapons. thing.

Similar things can be said too numerous to mention.

The main explosive used by William's troops is a mixture of several special substances in the flame world, natural sulfur, fire-attributed obsidian crystal powder near the magma lake, and volcanic ash.

These three substances are things that can be produced in large quantities in the flame world and can be seen everywhere. Of course, natural sulfur, there are a large number of sulfur hot springs and a small amount of sulfur lakes in the flame world. These places not only produce pure elemental sulfur crystals, but also The main provider of natural surface water to the flame world.

Fire-attributed obsidian crystals are the main cause of the flame world's inextinguishable flames that spread almost throughout the entire plane. As long as there is an open flame and a combustion aid, they can burn almost endlessly.

The volcanic ash is after the volcanic eruption, the fine dust trapped in the air absorbs each other and forms a falling object similar to snowflakes. This kind of volcanic ash will automatically absorb the surrounding heat, and it is a very good stability in the static state. agent.

In fact, this thing not only produces a lot of flame world, but also the snow that seems to never melt on the top of many towering peaks here is actually this thing.

However, William knows that there is a large amount of accumulation in another place. The ash-snow mountains of Jiaoyan Hell are full of this kind of volcanic ash, and the quality is excellent, and the quantity is full. This is what William is looking forward to from the sub-base of Jiaoyan Hell. One of the reasons.

William's artillery unit is equipped with three types of artillery.

One is the mortar barrel gun, the barrel of the gun is like a small oil drum, and the shells are very wild. This kind of artillery is the favorite of the flame giants. They always like to hold the barrel in one hand and the flaming battle ax in the other. , with a leather bag containing cannonballs on their backs, and then charged in line. The giants affectionately called this mortar "giant hand cannon".

One is the alien version of "Miss Seventy-Five". Due to the excellent alloy properties of the flame world, this "Miss Seventy-Five" has become a "Twenty-Five Shrew". The diameter is directly enlarged by three times, but the general structure is the same as the most The simple "Miss Seventy-Five Cannon" is similar, and it is equipped with a spider-shaped golem chassis.

The "[-] Shrew" artillery is the heart of the flame dwarves, and they simply love this powerful little baby.

As for the last one is the super-caliber cannon, this is a super mortar, equipped with a huge centipede-shaped construct golem chassis, and an engineering-grade construct golem loader, this super cannon can be like a centipede It can move forward and backward freely, its power is extremely amazing, and it has the title of "Hammer of Doom".

The Doomsday Hammer cannon is the strategic firepower of the Raging Flame Army. This time William did not bring it into the abyssal battlefield, but it was the "two-two-five shrews" and the "giant hand cannon" who took the lead. Dissatisfied, these fragile little guys always pursue the ultimate height, size, and fierceness. They are obsessed with the Doomhammer cannon to the extreme. Of course, they are also the soul of the "Doomhammer" gun crew.

When the Flame Heavy Cavalry and Heavy Armored Dragon Wings in charge of close combat completely pushed out the battle line, the Flame Giant Commando began to use giant hand cannons to provide them with fire support and cover.

And when nearly a hundred "two-two-five shrews" passed through the gate of flames and set foot on the battlefield of the abyss, and they took up their positions and began to speak, there was only one voice left on the frozen ground of the abyss.

Whether it is the Flame Heavy Cavalry Group, the Heavy Armored Dragon Wing Group, or the Flame Giant Commando, they have all retreated. They formed a solid front to guard the "two-two-five shrews" who made them madly envious and jealous. .

Only the Knights of the Flame Griffon spread themselves into the distant sky beyond sight. They were both battlefield scouts, bombardment observers, messengers and messengers, and they played the role of William's eyes on the battlefield.

William once thought about equipping the Flaming Griffin Knights with alien grenades, but after thinking about it, he gave up for the time being.The reason is simple. The security of the grenade is not enough, and it is easy to affect the mobility of the Flaming Griffin Knight.

What?You ask why not develop muskets?Again, the problem of explosives. The explosives on William's hand have a characteristic. When there are too few of them, their power will decrease geometrically.

For example, when their application is reduced to the level of bullet propellant, even a match is not as powerful, and it is not easy to push the bullet out of the muzzle.

However, when these explosives are measured in kilograms, their power is terrifyingly powerful, and they are dwarfed by otherworldly explosives such as yellow explosives of the same weight.

Group after group of miniature mushroom clouds bloomed in the vast frozen ruins permafrost plain, and the flames scorched the permafrost land, making them almost melt into rotten swamps for the first time in history, and then burned into hardened dry land.

Endless demons, including the Abyss Frost Giant Legion belonging to Kostchurch, rushed into this terrifying meat grinder one after another, and were torn to pieces by the terrifying artillery fire.

[Two Two Five Shrews] can fire 100kg heavy shells at a rate of twelve rounds per minute. The power of each shell can make the enemy within a diameter of 200 meters disappear, and all humans and animals within a diameter of [-] meters will die. It is the most powerful Barlow among the demons, and it can't withstand the bombardment of the explosion within ten meters.

The bombardment lasted almost the whole day, and William even had to mobilize the strategic reserves in the flame world, and replaced the [30 Shrew] battle group for six rounds, deliberately slowing down the rhythm of the bombardment, and almost emptied three of his shells In the reserve depot, a full [-] rounds of shells were consumed, and discarded shell casings piled up like mountains.

Of course, the bombardment skills of the flame dwarf artillerymen under William have been greatly improved at a speed visible to the naked eye. These mutant dwarves who hit—cannon almost crazy have even begun to try to play tricks , For example, a "one" character bombardment, or a "ten" character bombardment or something.

As for the shooting reference table you mentioned, I'm sorry, William really doesn't have much research in this area, and he doesn't have a similar mathematics expert under his command, and he doesn't have time to do it himself.

But there is a problem that makes William very angry. The progress of dismantling the old mage's portal is a bit far away.

When William found Elminster full of anger, unexpectedly, the old guy glared at him with even more angry bloodshot eyes, panting and shouting: "William! You...you must not put these terrible things Take it to Faerun! You bastard, you are more demon than the worst demon!"

William rolled his eyes and said: "You old bastard, don't slander me, I am very compassionate, this artillery was originally made for large-scale wars, how could it participate in ordinary rural fighting! By the way ! How is the dismantling of the portal, I can't hold it anymore."

The old mage said angrily, "Wait! If you can't support it, you have to support it!" After speaking, he went to tinker with the portal.

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

At this time, Selena was shaking with blurred eyes, and cautiously approached William, and said in a respectful and inexplicable tone: "My lord, you are simply the god of destruction who holds the power of doomsday. My lord, I have been monitoring Looking at that old man (the little guy said this with a guilty conscience), he is very hateful, he did not work hard according to the order of the lord, but kept peeping at your lord to destroy the army, and he had a face of gnashing his teeth."

Of course William knew that the old mage was slowing down his work, and he praised the incompetent little overseer approvingly, but he was a little hesitant about the next choice.

Now there is only the last cannonball reserve left in William's hands. One hundred thousand rounds of shells seems like a lot, but there are more cannon fodder that can't stop the devil. If he didn't feel that there would be major changes in this area, William would have been there long ago. When the second shell reserve was emptied, the retreat was ordered.

Suddenly, William ordered the shelling to be temporarily suspended, and then turned his gaze to the portal again, but suddenly he heard a scream from the embossed Caius on the arch, and saw a tall figure in silver heavy armor with wings on his back coming from the teleportation gate. walked out the door.

The silver-armored winged warrior exchanged glances with the somewhat shocked old mage, and then observed the surrounding environment, especially the flames on the battlefield in the distance and the heavily defended line of the Flame Legion, which horrified the uninvited visitor.

However, after noticing that the defense direction of the Flame Legion was not here, the silver-armored warrior finally breathed a sigh of relief. He drew out his sacred two-handed sword and sent a signal to the other side of the portal, and then more Silver armored winged warriors came out of the portal in an endless stream.

There are men and women in these silver armored winged warriors, which can be seen from their exquisite armor shapes, and the armor of each warrior is custom-made, the overall style tends to be uniform, but the details are different , each buckle or embellishment expresses the unique nature of the owner as much as possible.

This was the result of William's personal observation, and even he himself was a little puzzled, how could he get so much information just by looking at it with his eyes.

The Silver Armored Winged Warriors were very fast. When they gathered a sufficient number of people in front of the portal, they immediately spread their wings and soared into the air, flying to the vicinity of the Flame Legion's defense line.

Of course, this does not mean that the portal will no longer spit out winged warriors. Similar silver armored winged warriors have been venturing out endlessly.

After the tenth batch of silver-armored and winged fighters vacated, gold-armored and winged fighters carrying a halberd began to appear in the portal, and they also gathered in groups to vacate.

William didn't know how many people would come out of the portal, but he knew that these guys could be regarded as allies, because they were the natural enemies of the devil—the angelic army from the heavens.

The angel army is very powerful. They belong to the land and air amphibious army and have strong mobility.When these angels came to the line of defense of the Flame Legion, they couldn't help being shocked by the scene in front of them.

The heavily armored Dragon Wings standing on the outermost line of defense were almost full of corpses of demons. They were all the lucky ones covered by the firepower of the [Two Two Five Shrews]. Although they escaped being torn apart by the artillery fire, But he fell in front of the brave and warlike dragon warriors.

Of course, even if there were ten times as many demon corpses in front of the dragon warriors, the angels would not be shocked. What really shocked them was the artillery ground that extended the defense line further outward.

The shooting range of [Two Two Five Shrews] is still very good. Objectively speaking, their effective range can reach about eleven kilometers (meaning that the accuracy can be controlled under standard conditions), but none of William's artillerymen is qualified. , none of them can achieve accurate bombardment outside the horizon, basically they can only play direct bombardment within the horizon.

With the cooperation of the Flaming Griffin Knights, the artillerymen can only engage in firepower bombing within three kilometers.This also turned the area about 2000 meters in front of the Flame Legion's battle line into a real mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. I don't know how many demons were torn into pieces by shells, then oscillated into minced meat, and then baked into corpse ashes. The demons' flesh and blood were mixed together, forming a terrifying death Shura area.

Here, the power of the abyss separated from the dead demons merged to form a terrifying field.In this field, the negative emotions of tens of thousands of demons are gathered together to form a terrible illusion. Any creature who breaks into it, no matter whether it is a demon, an angel, or a human being, will have to bear enough to destroy it. Rational spiritual devastation.

It is not uncommon to form such a domain in a place where a large number of demons die. Angels have even seen that due to the massive death of demons, the power of the abyss after their death condenses together, forming an authority that belongs exclusively to the demon lord. (Any demon who picks up this power will immediately transform into a new demon lord.

Obviously, the number of demons slaughtered by William's army has not yet reached the level to form the authority of a demon lord, but due to the huge difference in the battle damage ratio between the two sides, the mass death of demons has attracted the attention of the angel of death.

By the way, angels of death are not angels. Although they are also called "angels", they are essentially the embodiment of the law of death, an existence between the living and the undead.

When there is a large-scale massacre in a certain place, the angel of death will appear on the scene (note: the angel of death will not attract the angel of death under any circumstances), they will not interfere with the tragedy, they will only witness The formation of evil, they are observers, recorders, but not judges.

The soldiers of the Angel Legion were shocked that the killing of William and his Flame Legion could attract the Angel of Death. They were surprised that this seemingly good army could actually crush the demon.

But that's all.

The Celestial Mythical Legion has its own pride.

During this period, the demons never stopped sending cannon fodder to die, but William's artillery stopped early. It should be said that the shelling stopped the moment before the first angel passed through the portal.

Facing the surge of demons who almost knew nothing about fear, William's soldiers fought quite hard. The angel soldiers who flew over William and them rushed down immediately. They helped the Flame Legion fight against the demons.

When the angels gathered more troops than the Flame Legion, they launched a counterattack in the direction where the demons came.

There are really a lot of angels, and it seems that there is a tendency to overwhelm the demons, especially their combat effectiveness is extremely good. Whether it is the long swords, halberds or war hammers they use, they seem to be able to launch energy shocks from a long distance. It can kill a group of demon minions at a time.

But this is not the main combat method of the angels. They rely more on this person or a small group of elites to launch a charge and attack, tearing apart the fronts of the demons (the demons did not specially set up fronts, but there were too many people crowded in) Together. Naturally formed the so-called front), and then divided to kill the enemy.

However, there are also many powerful demons such as the senior-level abyss frost giants, four-armed bat demons, and witch hunters who are also slaughtering angels.

This is the war between angels and demons. Even if the angels are all elite, they cannot avoid suffering casualties in front of the absolute number of demons.It's just that the casualties were a bit high. In just a short while, Angel's casualties were even more than those of William's men who had fought fiercely for a day.

Of course, this does not mean that the Flame Legion under William is more elite than the Angel Legion from the heavens, but the difference in the combat styles of the two armies caused this comparison of casualties.

The Flame Legion under William adheres to the idea that firepower is king brought by him from his previous life. It emphasizes the use of high-density firepower to annihilate the enemy's vital force and wipe out the enemy on the way of charging, rather than relying on the opponents of small soldiers. line to destroy the enemy.

The Angel Legion is pursuing the classical charge and fight. They always divide the enemy with elite fighters, and then kill the enemy by virtue of their local numbers and elite advantages.

Judging from the current combat situation, the tactics of William's side are much superior to those of the Angel Legion, but in fact, this is not the case. Angels and demons have fought against each other for an unknown number of years, and they know each other well. Angels His tactics may not be the most perfect, but they must be the most suitable for fighting against demons.

Even William knew that his Flame Legion would definitely encounter great setbacks when facing a full-scale demon army, because he had witnessed the confrontation scene between human technological civilization and demon army before, and that was when he was in the narrow chaos. Fragments of history seen over time.

Demons above all levels can almost teleport with one hand. When they fight against a battle group that mainly focuses on firepower output, they always let low-level cannon fodder attract firepower, and then the elite troops teleport and surprise, and use a flying dragon face-riding tactic to intersperse .

As far as this one-handed tactic is concerned, it doesn't matter if it's the artillery corps, the air gunboat cluster, or the space battleship, as long as the most basic combat unit can't hold the devil, everything is useless.

Don’t be superstitious about advanced weapons when facing demons. Even if you have a futuristic sci-fi weapon in your hand, before you pull the trigger, a demon a few kilometers away will appear behind you with a teleportation. Just hang your neck and kill.

It was at this point in time that the devil's teleportation and face-riding tactics were no longer needed, and William's artillery had just displayed an almost incredible harvesting ability in the previous fierce battle.

With the army of angels carrying the demon line, William was also happy to take back his Flame Legion. He even ordered his men to start cleaning up the battlefield. For example, discarded shell casings piled up like a mountain. Just recycling is a big project.

However, William only needs to assign these chores to a few intelligent subordinates, and he doesn't need to direct them personally.

William came to the portal, but found that the army of the heavens was still coming out of the portal. There were not only angels, but also countless fine creatures (with transparent dragonfly or butterfly wings) riding on Pegasus. , Eladrin riding a unicorn (an elf's love-thorn variant), colorful small flying dragons, golden roc birds, giants in exquisite heavy armor, of course there are human-like warriors, but they all have gold or silver Metallic skin.

These warriors of various shapes formed battle groups that could not be underestimated according to their respective races.

William just looked at it for a while, then stopped paying attention to the angel army, and walked up to the old mage with a worried face.

William said teasingly: "Mr., it seems that you are not in a good mood!"

The old mage snorted coldly and said, "I never thought that the Angel Legion would join the battlefield at this time, and let them prevent disaster for you!"

William raised his eyebrows, sighed and said, "It means that the Angel Legion came in time, otherwise my troops would really be unable to hold on. I am going to order the soldiers to blow up their equipment and flee back to the flame world."

The old mage said with some malicious intentions: "Then you ordered it!"

William said: "Old man, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking about. You just want to consume all my soldiers in the hands of the devil. I was wondering, I didn't do anything bad, why do you want to go everywhere?" Against me?"

The old mage said in a deep tone: "William, you are too powerful! Not only your personal strength is terrifying, but your army is even more terrifying. This is very bad, William, you can't have both. Too much The powerful you need to be limited and restrained, otherwise it is unfair to other people."

"Why do these words sound so awkward and disgusting!" William stared at the old mage in surprise, and said angrily, "Old man! Don't go too far. I have always been kind to others, even if I have been plotted and used many times, I have never retaliated recklessly. , but that doesn't mean I don't have a bottom line.

Elminster, I respect you as a generation of sages and countless human elites. This does not mean that you can take my friendliness as weakness.Ma-de!Helen is like this, and so is you old guy. There are so many evil people in this world that you don't deal with, but come to embarrass me, an innocent passerby.

It really annoyed me, the big guys just snapped and broke up. When the time comes, you go your way on a flat road, and I cross my single-plank bridge! "

But the old mage said plausibly: "But if you do evil, the harm will be more terrible than the sum of most villains today!"

William drew the knife directly, gritted his teeth and said, "Old man! If you are so shameless again, I will turn against you now!"

Unexpectedly, the old mage laughed loudly, and said: "William, I did not misunderstand you! Well, you won! I won too! Brunhilde, and Your Excellency Geyon Harvey, you lose gone."

William suddenly looked back, only to see Brunhilde in a golden helmet and another woman with a seemingly weak figure and a pleasant temperament turning out from behind the portal.

This woman is wearing a solemn battle robe, with a soft and weak expression, which makes people feel an inexplicable desire to protect when they see it, but if someone really thinks so, it can only show that you are out of your mind.

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

Geyon Hawev, nicknamed Stormfury, is well known to Eladrin and fey monsters throughout the universe, and is a member of the strongest fey emperor trio.

Her weak appearance is just her disguise. In reality, she is an invincible barbarian, a berserker who likes to create a whirlwind of flesh and blood when surrounded by enemies, and an undefeated warmaster.

Just how powerful Geyong Hawev is (challenge level 31+), let’s just say, the most powerful in the abyss, Demon Prince Demo Gogan, Dark Lord Grazter, Blood Lord Orcus, etc. Wait, they all suffered in front of this hero who looked like the little girl next door.

Especially Demo Gogan, who was bullied miserably by Geron Harvey.

When Demo Gogan, with the help of a loyal demon lord, Ilsidahhur, reopened Messner's vortex of light - a forest of Moraschia that once connected the Abyss with the unrestrained Portal of the wild.

This portal was once one of the many portals used by the army of the Ethorns to invade the Abyss in ancient times. The siege of Obiris, the former true abyss lord (of course, the backstab of the demon lord of the Tanari family is also indispensable).

Demo Gorgan led his demonic army through the portal into the wilds, causing unparalleled destruction to all beings there.Until Demogogen's army ran into Geyong Haweifu's army, and was defeated by her, and had to flee back to the depths of the bottomless abyss.

Next, Geron Harvey used her body as a bait to brazenly break into the bottomless abyss. Taking advantage of the chance of being hunted down by the devil prince, she completely closed the light vortex portal, and she became Demo Gogan and Il. Prisoner of Sidahur.

What happened later was even more exciting. The captured Geyong Haweifu used his speech skills to let the two demon lords who had cooperated seamlessly waste several days arguing about how to insult, torture and finally kill Geyong Haweifu. Time, let the heroine's close comrade-in-arms and lover, Queen Morville of the Star Court, take the opportunity to launch a daring and successful rescue (a pair of lesbians), freeing her from the hands of the demon, and thus This led to a split and war between the demon prince Demo Gogan and the Balgra demon lord Ilsidahur.

In the years that followed, Demo Gogan tried countless times to retaliate, especially to destroy the Star King's Court that Ge Yonghaweifu cared about most, but basically all ended in failure.

When Geyong Haweifu stood in front of William with a weak appearance, William only felt a terrifying beast staring at him, which was the induction from William's spiritual perception.

The invincible female warlord asked in a thin voice, soft and even provocative admiration: "Human warriors, your army is so powerful, why don't you lay down a large piece of land?" Territory, build a supreme throne for yourself?"

William said indifferently: "Forget it! I don't have the heart to rule a group of poor farmers, and I have to work hard to feed and clothe them. How can being a king be as interesting as being a free adventurer?!"

Geyong Haweifu narrowed her beautiful pale green eyes, and sighed with regret in her tone: "You have no ambitions, so you have ruined this elite army under your hands?"

William opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Ma'am, what you said is wrong! Even the best weapon is only used to protect the owner, not to be coerced by (the weapon) to do unrighteous things.

The beings in the flame world are tyrannical and aggressive, and it is difficult to have peace. It is because of the deterrence of my legion that they can sit together calmly and argue with their tongues instead of using violence and death to resolve disputes.

In my opinion, this is the meaning of my flame army, not to pursue some great achievements. "

Is this really Buddhist?

Geron Harvey shook his head in disappointment, gave William a "good for himself" look, and then walked away at a leisurely pace.

Brunhilde made a "well done" gesture to Willem, and then chased Geron Havief away.

At this time, the old mage collapsed on the ground like a boneless snake man, panting heavily with sweat all over his body.With lingering fear on his face, he said to William: "I'm an old man, and I still have to worry about you! Boy, I don't owe you anything this time. It was too dangerous just now, as long as you say a wrong sentence, I doubt that those angel armies will be desperate to surround and kill you and your legion."
