The Swordsman of Faerûn

Phineya's skin was as red as a steamed crab at the moment, she was panting heavily, the breath from her nostrils was like scorching water vapor, and white mist rose in the cold air.

Phineya suddenly roared, and her whole body immediately swelled to a height of ten feet in nearly equal proportions, her muscles and bones burst out, and she looked like a thin and skinny giant.

Of course, Phinea's change of skin and bones is completely different from the skin and bones of Storm King Chou'er.After the transformation, Feniya exudes a deadly sense of power, but the ugly skinny skin is a sign of sickness.

Feniya's transformation form, also known as bone-through dragon transformation among giants, is an extremely rare form of gigantic rampage among giants, and it is also a relatively deadly forbidden technique, because once a giant barbarian launches this kind of rampage, Basically not dead or disabled.

Legend has it that the bone-penetrating dragon transformation technique was a forbidden technique created by an unknown giant in ancient times when giants and giant dragons were fighting for world supremacy.It is said that when the giant activated the bone-penetrating dragon transformation, he actually separated the entire skeleton of a giant dragon and demigod from the flesh and blood of the giant dragon instantly with a single punch, and the two even maintained a certain degree of relationship within a short period of time. integrity.

Of course, the legend is just a legend after all, and no one at the scene had seen the giant or the giant, but Phinea's sudden transformation by one hand really scared everyone, including the ugly challenger.

Originally, Feniya used the ice battle ax commonly used by ordinary frost giants during the fight, but did not use her Thunder Frost.After all, this battle ax is like a divine weapon, and its sharpness is a bit scary. Feniya felt that it would be unfair to the opponent to fight with it.

But now Phineya can no longer care about fairness and injustice. She dragged Thunder Frost behind her with one hand, and with the other hand, she punched out a burst of explosion when the wind of the fist broke through the air barrier. Voice.

As the victim, the cloud giant's tuberculosis ghost immediately changed his face. He let out a terrified scream, which was almost like howling a crow. Keep silent.

Originally, this ugly ghost was not a weak person. Even though his appearance was ugly, he possessed powerful spells. He was a powerful sorcerer that no one dared to underestimate. However, at this moment, most spellcasters in the world have temporarily lost their ability to cast spells. Ability, and the "talent" among the cloud giants is no exception.

Phineya almost pierced through the opponent's body with one punch, and opened a washbasin-sized blood hole in the body of this unlucky cloud giant ugly ghost. Ya cut off its ugly head with another blow of the axe.

A warlock without the ability to cast spells is not even as good as a plucked native chicken, and it is only natural for him to be attacked by the berserk Phinea in seconds.

Feniya, who killed the enemy, was still in a rage, so she continued to kill the other cloud giants without stopping.At this time, Phineya has almost lost her mind, but she still maintains the most basic ability to distinguish friend from foe.

Of course, Feniya's method of distinguishing between friend and foe is also very simple, as long as the figure is taller than her, just cut it casually.

As a result, those cloud giants who came to watch the battle, as well as the remaining two challengers, were in for a bad luck this time.

Under normal circumstances, the cloud giant can obviously suppress Feniya in terms of strength. Even if Feniya activates the barbarian's berserk ability, she will still be slightly inferior to the cloud giant in terms of strength.

To put it in a rather inappropriate way, most of Feniya's previous victories relied on micromanagement and technology, and her physical flexibility.

But at this time, Feniya was already able to compete with the cloud giant in terms of strength, and even slightly won.

Phineya slashed fiercely with an ax on a giant mace raised by a cloud giant, but a deep gash was made on the hammer of the giant mace. If it weren't for the giant mace The hammer's face was so broad that Phinea had to chop it off with an axe.

However, the half-disabled giant mace was bounced back extremely quickly, and hit the giant cloud's chest heavily. There was only a crisp sound of "crack", and it turned out that the giant cloud's sternum had been broken several times.

With such a ready-made example, the rest of the cloud giants were not stupid either. They scattered around immediately, and then each picked stones from the ground, preparing to throw them at Phinea.

The tactical choice of the cloud giants completely annoyed William who was standing aside watching the show.

You bastards dare not talk about martial arts, and use the trick of throwing stones to surround and beat my mother-in-law, then don't blame me for bullying giants too!

William directly took out the [Leadership Evidence of the Cloud Giant] and blew the bone flute vigorously, but heard a burst of sharp and weeping flute sound echoing between the sky and the earth, just like the giant's mourning.

At this time, almost all the giants who heard the sound of the flute, whether they were frost giant cubs or cloud giants, fell to the ground and howled in pain.

Only the flute sound heard by Fenya's ears was different from that of all the giants. She felt as if she was listening to a beautiful psalm.She could barely make out the psalm, but felt it was praising the Giant.Then Phineya felt that the violent power in her body seemed to have life, and began to become docile and obedient.

And that power is gradually repairing Feniya's body damage, replenishing the source of life she lost due to her berserk, and then disappearing in the depths of her body.

However, Feniya felt that as long as she wanted to, she could reawaken this terrifying power at any time, and become an invincible barbarian fighter.

And Feniya also got another kind of power, she can control her body to switch between six feet and ten feet, which means that she can not only maintain her normal height before, but also become a ten-foot giant Or a normal human figure of six feet, which can be regarded as making Phinea's life more convenient in the future, and may also add more fun.

Feniya, who had regained her senses, looked at the cloud giants and frost giant cubs lying on the ground in surprise, looked at William who was playing the bone flute, and asked, "William, the sound you play is really nice! But why do these guys look miserable and fall to the ground, can't they hear beautiful voices?"

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

Feniya's brain circuits are always a little strange, and she doesn't care about her own special changes. Instead, she proudly looks around among the cloud giants who have fallen to the ground, and if there is one who doesn't like it, go up kick.

William played the bone flute for a while, seeing that the situation was under control, he stopped playing and continued playing, and all the crying cloud giants and frost giant cubs also returned to normal. They stood up in panic, but they didn't know He looked at William in bewilderment.

Several smart cloud giants looked at the bone flute that was almost as thick as an adult's thigh in William's hands, but they couldn't help but have some bad associations.

Making a bone flute out of a giant's finger bones is like making a dragon-calling horn out of a dragon's horn. They are relatively common but significant creations.

The bone flute made from the finger bones of ordinary giants can only control the giants whose bones have been taken under normal circumstances, but the bone flute that can control many giants in a large range has absolutely no simple source of materials.

And William's giant bone flute can restrain all the frost giants and cloud giants present at the same time, the origin of that bone flute is absolutely extraordinary.

Of course, no matter how imaginative the cloud giants present were, they couldn't believe that the giant bone flute in William's hands actually came from the bottom of the chest of the evil cloud giant god Menno, and it was even more impossible for them to think that its manufacturing materials might come from Annan, the father of giants.

Feniya has the least eyes and the most innocent thoughts, so she went directly to her man and asked, "William, you bone flute is really strange, everyone feels very uncomfortable listening to the sound of the flute, but I don't feel it at all. It’s uncomfortable, but it still sounds good.”

William didn't hide anything, and explained directly: "This is a treasure I found from the god of giants. It is said that it was made from the finger bones of a powerful god of giants. It sounds good to you, because you and I are of the same mind. , but the giants that sound ugly are basically guys who are hostile to me!"

"Really?" Fenya heard that she was not afraid of the sound of the bone flute because she was united with William, and she immediately showed a proud expression. Indeed, this was William's greatest affirmation of the loyal Fenya.

However, Feniya quickly thought of another problem. Since only Feniya was safe and sound from the sound of the bone flute, it means that except Feniya herself, all the remaining giants present, whether they were the enemy Yun Giants, or their own frost giant cubs, but those who wailed in pain to the sound of bone flutes were basically villains who were not loyal to William.

So Phineya immediately raised her eyebrows and raised her ax to kill these disloyal people.

However, William hurriedly grabbed Phinea and said: "Fineya is impulsive, let alone those cloud giants, although those children in our battle group do not agree with me, it does not mean that they are really disloyal, I think The biggest possibility is that the leader they recognize is you."

Feniya said with some doubts: "What if it is not? Many frost giants are generally very bad since childhood!"

William smiled and handed the bone flute to Feniya, and said: "Then you can have a try and play this bone flute. If the giants who heard the sound of the flute recognize you, they will be as safe and sound as you were just now. Of course, if they have a heart If it is wrong, it will naturally be exposed under the sound of the flute, and then we will kill it directly."

Phineya was overjoyed, she happily took the bone flute, and puffed up her cheeks to blow it vigorously, the shrill sound of the flute kept rippling on the top of the snow-capped mountain.

All the giants struggling under William's bone flute just now were all terrified at the moment, but most of them soon discovered that Phinea played the flute very well, and they didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

This vast majority not only includes members of the Frost Giant Cubs, but even a large part of the cloud giants present.This also means that Feniya's brave performance in the past few days has conquered the hearts of many cloud giants.

Of course, there are all kinds of birds in the forest, and it is understandable that most cloud giants are unwilling to recognize Phinea, but there are a few disloyal guys among the frost giant cubs, and they are suffering from the piercing sound of the flute. fell to the ground, and was isolated by those loyal "little partners".

What Feniya said is right, some frost giants have been very bad since they were young, and they are a bit like a white-eyed wolf.

William signaled Phinea to stop playing the bone flute. He came to the isolated young frost giants and asked, "Why don't you want to be loyal to Phinea?"

Several young frost giants looked at each other anxiously, and one of the young frost giants who looked the most rebellious and the tallest said with a look of resentment: "We are the purest sons of Solem (referring to pure blood) Frost Giants), noble warriors of ice and snow! Why should you submit to a half-breed bastard?!"

William is speechless, what you said is so reasonable, I can't refute it, so I can only send you to your pure-blooded ancestor to sober up.

For such an idiot living in his own dream, William had no choice but to cut his neck and let him fall to the ground convulsing and struggling.

Then William looked at the remaining frost giant teenagers and asked, "Do you also think the same?"

These few survivors were terrified by William's understated killing. They shook their heads repeatedly and said, "We are willing to submit to you! William the Conqueror of Ice and Snow!"

William sneered: "Children! You should know that under the bone flute, all deceptions will be invisible! I think you should be more honest."

These youthful disloyalties havetened to swear that they had been sincerely obedient.

William sensed the feelings of these teenagers, and intuitively reminded him that these frost giant cubs were not lying.Still he said: "Phiniya! Play the flute!"

Then the sound of the bone flute sounded again. Surprisingly, these "disloyal" frost giant cubs fell to the ground in pain again.

William's complexion changed immediately, he felt that he had been tricked by a few little things!So angry.Of course, the more important thing is that William has doubts about his own perception ability. Of course, there may be a problem with the giant's bone flute.

The sound of the flute stopped again, and William stared fiercely at these poor fellows, drawing a knife in his hand, and asked for the last time: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Basically, most giants are no strangers to the bone flute ability made of giant finger bones, because this is one of the racial characteristics of the giant family, just like flying birds have wings, and swimming fish have swim bladder fins Same.

These frost giant teenagers are basically the smartest of all the cubs. They immediately realized what their problem was, and the one who reacted the fastest among them shouted: "Master William, the person we are willing to submit to is you, Not the boss of Sister Phinya, only your flute can protect us!"

William was somewhat skeptical, but he still picked up the bone flute and played it, and the result was just like what these young people said, they were indeed safe and sound under William's flute.

William admitted that he was a little sloppy just now, but the result is still good.

The so-called people who are afraid of power but not virtuous are also barbarians.

Sure enough.

William sighed in his heart, then he kicked the "dead" frost giant boy on the ground, and shouted: "Get up! How long do you want to pretend to be dead?!"

Then, under the surprised and inexplicable eyes of all the frost giant cubs, the defiant frost giant boy whose throat was cut by William and should have died already struggled to sit up. He looked up at William and said angrily: You didn't play dead! You put a curse on me, right? Just now I thought I was really going to die!"

William said: "Boy, it's rare for you to be able to follow all the way from the ice plane to Faerun. It would be a bit petty for me to kill you directly. You go! Don't let me see you again. I will be true to you next time we meet." cut off your head."

Unexpectedly, this young man who survived by luck shouted stubbornly: "I don't! I have surrendered to you and the eldest sister, I want to stay!"

William said angrily: "I don't like subordinates who step on two boats!"

It turned out that this young man was also unintimidated. He actually surrendered to Phinea and William at the same time, but he was the only one among all the frost giant cubs.That's why in the flute sound test just now, he was able to lie on the ground and pretend to be a dead body, but if there was a disloyalty, he would have been exposed by the flute sound to pretend to be dead.

But overall the result was good, at least the internal hidden dangers of the frost giant cubs were completely resolved, and the cloud giants needed to be dealt with next.

Originally, according to Feniya's talent and ability, it was difficult to completely subdue the cloud giant. After all, the upper limit of this woman's talent is not outstanding, and her ability is insufficient.However, when William developed a stable medicinal method for the colorful snow lotus, all of this was no longer a problem. Phinea finally had room for rapid growth, and it became possible to subdue the cloud giant and even other giants.

No, Feniya played the giant bone flute vigorously——[The proof of the cloud giant's leader], and at the same time cut off the head of a cloud giant who was tortured by the sound of the flute, and then several others were also tortured by the sound of the flute The cloud giants were freed from the pain, and they actually changed their positions immediately, from being hostile to being a loyal cloud giant to Feniya.

Next, every time Phineya chopped off the head of a cloud giant who refused to surrender, several cloud giants changed their positions on the spot.

This bizarre scene made William feel a little uncomfortable. Are these giants all low bones? They don’t cry when they see the coffin. Killing chickens and monkeys shouldn’t be like this!

However, the cloud giant is just so square.

William suddenly felt that the Eleven Smash Order was indeed the most suitable method to deal with giants.

Killed five cloud giants (including the ugly ghost who was killed first), and took in fourteen new cloud giants. This business is a bit weird.

But who cares!

William was tired of staying on this snow-capped mountain. He didn't want to stay here any longer, so he immediately led everyone towards the cloud giant's tribe.

Weeds must be cut by roots, plow yards must be swept away, and the old nest of the cloud giant cannot be kept.

The cloud giant's tribe is in a snow valley on a high mountain, and most of the adult giants have long been in William's team, leaving only the leader of the cloud giant and some old and weak, including the female cloud giant and children. No more than fifteen or six people.

Except for the cloud giant who was the leader of the tribe who was in some trouble, the rest of the old and the weak almost gave up. When William cut off the head of the cloud giant leader, they quickly surrendered rationally.

In fact, the cloud giant tribe of more than [-] people is no longer considered a small tribe. They are at the top of the food chain, and a large population can easily destroy the ecological balance of the region.

That's right!Giants are so edible!If the population is not controlled or managed well, it is difficult for any giant tribe to stay in one place for a long time.

That is to say, the three-way junction of Thunder Peak, Cormyr in the southwest, Sambia in the southeast, and the Northeast Valley Alliance are all rich in resources and fertile land, and the cloud giants are also quite business-minded, so that they can support the cloud giants here. Stay for a long time and build a tribe.

William and the others seized a large amount of supplies from the tribe of the Yunju people, frozen fresh meat and grains from the valley, oats from Cormyr, bacon and sausages from Sambia, these foods can even support thousands of humans. years of living.

There is also an abundance of fine robes and jewellery, but in sizes and styles for cloud giants.

There are also some miscellaneous things, including vats of fine wine, which are all materials obtained by the cloud giant from the outside world.

Of course, Giant Cloud himself is not without special products. Some exquisite sculptures and handicrafts with beautiful lines are the trading items that Giant Cloud uses to exchange materials from surrounding cities. From the perspective of the cloud giants, the materials they obtained were all paid for, and they did not get something for nothing.

In fact, the inventory at the bottom of the cloud giant's box is a pile of strange metal blocks. These metal blocks are the most valuable things in the cloud giant tribe.

They have a silver-like color, and their hardness and ductility are above the standard. No matter how you look at them, they look like silver nuggets, but these metal nuggets are as light as a feather, and a child can lift a piece the size of a house.

This metal block is called cloud silver, and it is the exclusive specialty of cloud giants.Cloud giants generally live on cloud-covered mountain peaks. When they live in a place long enough and the natural clouds there are thick enough and stable, cloud giants will build magical islands on top of the clouds, and It is the so-called cloud island.

The cloud island is composed of strong enough magical clouds, on which cloud giants can build cloud castles, plant giant plants (mainly fruit trees), and mine the mineral deposits in the cloud, and the mined mineral deposits are cloud silver.

Sometimes people confuse cloud silver with mithril. In fact, these are two different magical metals. Mithril is a precious metal developed by dwarves to make magic weapons and armor, while cloud silver can be used to make flying warships. and castle strategic material.

Moreover, the cloud giants seldom let cloud silver go to the mortal world, and they prefer to make deals with creatures in the heavens.

William is very interested in Yunzhongyin. If it weren't for the people he cares about down the mountain, he would like to continue to sweep other cloud giant tribes on Thunder Peak.

Among the cloud giants who surrendered, the juvenile individuals were incorporated into Phinea's cub army by William, while the strong adult individuals, both male and female, were trained together to form a real giant team.

They wore thick animal skin armor, held giant war hammers, and had huge skin shields like city gate panels.William believed that as long as the operation was done well, no castle wall would be able to block the attack of this team.

As soon as the team was formed, William and Phineya led the team down the mountain of Thunder Peak, and the first target they were going to use was Gaoyue City in the deep forest valley below the mountain.

The first seventy-ninth chapter of soldiers on the spot

Deep Forest Valley is located at the focal point where Cormyr and Sambia are facing each other. Compared with the warlike nature of Bow Valley, which is geographically similar, the people in Deep Forest Valley are much more peaceful.

Of course, this has something to do with the tradition inherited from the founders of Deep Forest Valley and the ruling philosophy of the current lord, Selemen Ulas.

The biggest difference between the Deep Forest Valley and other valley city-states is that the status of the half-elves here is much higher than that of other valley regions.

The Deep Forest Valley was founded by the half-elf warlock Inrul Aluasher, the first lord known as the Princess of the Deep Forest, who integrated humans, half-elves and elves, and established an elf-based lifestyle and living in the world. The knowledge-centered in the dense forest does not destroy the society of human habits.

Since then, the successive lords of Deep Forest Valley have all been half-elves who uphold this idea. Some sociologists even believe that the longevity of half-elves is one of the reasons why the social atmosphere of Deep Forest Valley has not undergone drastic changes.

Indeed, most of the half-elves who are discriminated against in other places can always feel the warmth of a real home here, and they try their best to maintain this beautiful feeling. However, social changes in which creatures are human beings are different.

But today, Deep Forest Valley has encountered the most serious crisis in history.

Not long ago, the lord of the Deep Forest Valley, Selemen Ulas, met with the messenger from the Shadow Valley, Taelia Nightfall, and a letter of appeal for help from the (former) Lord of the Shadow Valley, Moglin Haxguard.

After reading the letter, Lord Ulas asked the messenger Taelia some questions, and then resolutely led the only regular standing army in the Deep Forest Valley, the Sword of the Deep Forest Valley, to the north to aid the Shadow Valley.

Now, there are only some irregular militiamen left in Lingu to maintain local order and tranquility.

Therefore, when a group of terrifying giants appeared on the outskirts of the deep forest valley, the guards of the entire deep forest valley found that they were too weak to find any way to fight against these intruders.

It took less than half a day for the cloud giants marching in line to pass through the entire deep forest valley and arrive in front of Gaoyue City, the central city of the deep forest valley with the strongest city walls.
