The Swordsman of Faerûn
Page 231
William looked at the checkpoint in front of the gate of the camp, but he didn't find any guards on duty, but an old man with white beard and hair was dragging a lance there in a daze.
William approached with great interest and looked at each other with a smile.
And the old man didn't seem to notice that someone was approaching, he just squinted his eyes halfway there, and there was almost no trace of life in the cloudy eyes.
However, William knew that the old man's obliviousness was just an illusion. Under the old guy's sluggish and harmless appearance, there was hidden a strong fighting spirit with exuberant vitality, keen perception, and hidden fighting spirit. scholar.
William just looked at the old man, but the old man remained silent and motionless.
The two of them had been in a stalemate for a long time, and William had nothing to do with it, while the old man's back was getting wet, and a pair of slightly pointed ears were trembling a little.
Suddenly, there was a sound of wings beating the air in the air. William casually looked up, and then waved in the air, only to see the Pegasus Mo Xiao, carrying three little girls on his back, carefully falling down. .
But these three little guys just finished their morning class and came here specially to watch the excitement.
However, after William turned his attention away, the old man dragging his lance could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling quite relieved.
After taking a few breaths, the old man couldn't help asking, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
William didn't answer directly, but asked himself: "Old man, besides you, are there any decent people here?"
Hearing this, the old man opened his cloudy eyes suddenly, but a gleam of light flashed, but it quickly disappeared into the invisible.But he saw that he seemed to be struggling to close his lance, and said weakly: "Except for such a waste as the old man in the camp, the rest are all good men out of a hundred."
William nodded in disappointment and said, "Really? It turns out that apart from you, the old man, the rest are a bunch of trash! It's a pity, I wanted to pick up some good stuff at first!"
The old man opened his eyes wide and said angrily, "Young man, I can't pretend that I didn't hear what you said! Besides, didn't you hear what I just said? There are a group of good boys living in the camp!"
However, William waved to the three little girls who approached him, and asked them to pay respects to the old man with the gun.The three of Misha'er didn't hesitate, they lined up in a row, and bowed to the old man with fists folded.
The old man has never seen such a situation before, especially the etiquette practiced by Sanxiao is unheard of, but even a fool can feel that there is a very solemn respect in it, this sudden scene made the old man feel at a loss for a while .
To make a digression, the most etiquette race recognized in Faerun is the elves. The etiquette of the elves is gorgeous and complicated. Generally speaking, it is difficult for foreigners without any elf culture to remember and understand the various etiquette routines of the elves. of.
For example, when an elf uses etiquette to express respect to a person, he (she) will make a series of more complicated gestures. If you don’t know enough about elves’ thanks, you won’t know what the other person is doing at all. Maybe he thought the elf was having a cramp in his arm.
William brought some ancient ceremonies from his hometown in his previous life to Faerun, and he taught them to Misha and the others. He planned to implement them in his own kingdom after the valley was unified. Maybe he would also learn from the ancestor dragon emperor, play Play the game of "books with the same text, cars with the same track".
Closer to home, the old man who guarded the gate at the entrance of the cavalry camp was a little flustered when he was worshiped by the three little girls. Of course, it wasn't that he felt that he couldn't bear the greetings of the three girls, but that he couldn't guess what William was thinking.
But one thing the old man knew very well was that the young man who appeared at the gate of the camp early in the morning had some malicious intentions.
So the old man asked a little uneasy: "Young man, what do you want to do?"
William gave a slight hint, and he stopped being a joke, and said directly: "Old man, I am the leader of the expedition camp over there, and now my people are going to do some things in the town. Before they finish their work, I need you and Those cavalrymen of yours stay in the camp well. Well, they are not allowed to go anywhere!"
The old man looked William from head to toe in surprise, and said, "Only you? Young man! Do you know that there are at least 200 cavalry reserves living in the camp, even if their skills and combat skills are a bit poor? , but it’s not something you can fight alone.”
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
William turned around and looked at the town to the south, and suddenly said, "It's started!"
The old man asked inexplicably, "What started?"
William smiled mysteriously and said, "Listen, my subordinates should have broken through the perimeter of that manor, and everything seems to be going well!"
The old man listened attentively, and soon heard the vague and noisy shouts coming from the south of the town.He looked at William in confusion, as if he wanted to ask what happened to the south.
William seemed to be talking to himself: "Since the action on the other side has already started, we can't be idle here. Old man, I'm sorry, I'm going to start!"
The old man really wanted to ask: What started? !
However, William suddenly raised his foot and stomped a guy on the gate of the cavalry camp, and then the camp gate fence made of solid logs was broken into countless irregular pieces of wood, facing the direction of the camp Scattered.
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately said angrily: "Look at what you have done?! Damn you bastard! Do you know that you are provoking the most powerful cavalry regiment in the entire Star Falling Sea!"
William squinted at the old man, and said with disdain: "What nonsense! Old man! Anyone who is not blind should be able to see what I am doing! If you can still manage to move If those idiots are sleeping soundly in the barracks, let them come out and struggle!
And, I'm not kidding you, Boros Habershield!The Supreme Councilor of Misty Valley! "
The old man asked in surprise, "Do you know who I am?"
William stuck his battle gun on the ground, he straightened his clothes a little bit, and then said: "Of course I know who you are, Mr. Boros. In fact, I am here just for you this time. If not, I would I will just set fire to this place, and I won’t bother to grind my teeth with those trash.”
The old man Boros Habershield said with a serious expression: "Just because of such an inconspicuous old man like me, young man, I'm afraid your brain is not sober?!"
William shrugged and smiled lightly: "I'm very sober, Mr. Borrows. If it wasn't that I need an assistant with enough authority to help me manage the northern region, if it wasn't that there are almost no candidates under my hand, believe me, sir, I cut off your head as soon as I saw you."
The old Boros' complexion instantly became as ugly as a pile of shit, and he couldn't help but cursed: "You are humiliating me! Sir! You are humiliating a poor old dog! And I am Boros Ha from Misty Valley Beshield! A tough guy! I don't need to be handed over to a young man old enough to be my grandson!"
Boring pride!
This is a common problem with many overly conceited guys!And this supreme councilor who is about to be abandoned by his people is undoubtedly one of the more seriously ill.
There are usually two ways to treat such a person.One is to learn from Han Zhaolie and visit the thatched cottage three times, impress the other party with incomparable sincerity, and then exchange for a Zhuge Wuhou who is dedicated and dies.The other is to learn from Cao Weiwu, if you don’t come to work, you will beheaded and your whole family will be killed!In the end, a four-horse trough was introduced, which is a well-known tragedy.
Of course, it is difficult to define which of these two methods is superior and which is inferior.But no matter which senior William wants to learn from, the premise is that he must first prove that he has the ability to become Han Zhaolie or Cao Weiwu, and then he can imitate the predecessors, otherwise he will only waste speed.
And now, it was time for William to prove himself, he said: "Old man, don't be stubborn! Seeing your age, I won't take advantage of you, you go back and gather people!
I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm here to block the door today, but if you wait for someone to rush out from this door, I'm considered incompetent!
What?You ask me why I blocked the door?
Oh!I forgot to tell you, my companions are besieging and killing the six council members in Misty Valley. Before they succeed, no one in this camp is allowed to leave a step! "
Boros Habershield was furious when he heard the words, there must be a limit to underestimating people!
To be honest, the old man is still a little happy to hear that the members of the six-member council are being besieged, but at least you should send some decent people, and you will have to block the door with an army of hundreds of people, so that the old man can let go Let the water go, and get a routine of watching the fire from the other side.
But you just swaggered to the door to block the way alone. If the old Boros dragged his feet and played the routine of not continuing to send reinforcements, he would really be ashamed to see others.
The old man had thought through this from the very beginning, so he thought that William was humiliating him.However, the Supreme Councilor of the Misty Valley rushed into the camp in a hurry and rang the alarm bell for assembly. Then, without waiting for the sleeping cavalry to gather, he directly stepped on a war horse, and he jumped on the horse and raised his gun. He went directly to William who was blocking the door.
As the saying goes, the horse is in a hurry, and the veteran shoots poison.With overwhelming aura, Boros Habershield rushed straight towards William, especially with the erratic lance in his hand, which gave people an irresistible illusion.
The reason why it is an illusion is because William really blocked it.Not only did he block the opponent's lance carrying the power of a galloping horse, but he even smashed the lance with his spear, flying the lance in Boros Habershield's hand!
At the same time, William also recoiled, relying only on his shoulders, he stopped the galloping horse abruptly.
This sudden change from jerk to stillness caused the majestic war horse as the body receiving the force to hiss in agony.
And Boros Habershield, who was sitting on horseback, was also caught off guard, and fell forward involuntarily.
With the help of his own strong inner strength, William directed the horse's momentum into the ground under his feet almost as it was, which caused his feet to sink three inches into the soil involuntarily, and the soil around his feet sank together. If someone looked carefully, they would find that the sunken imprint was actually the imprint of a big lotus flower.
And this is the harbinger of William's inner strength coming to fruition.
As the saying goes, if my life is up to me, then a golden lotus can be planted in the fire.Stepping on the bucket, stepping on the golden lotus, and stepping on the golden lotus, we are talking about the situation where you can step out of the lotus energy with every step.
As soon as William stopped the galloping horse, he opened his hand and grabbed the old knight who had fallen over. Then he threw Boros Habershield into the camp gate with a casual throw.
William didn't care about lying on the ground inside the camp gate in a daze, Gu Zi drove the horse outside the camp gate, and three little girls were responsible for gathering it.
That's right!The main task of these three little guys is to be responsible for collecting the spoils captured by William - the war horses.
William returned to the gate of the camp and stuck the lance lost by old Boros at the gate as an exhibit. He said to the bewildered old man who had just stood up: "Old man! I think you are a talent, this time I will It won't hurt you, but next time you won't be so lucky! By the way, I want to remind you that if someone else rushes to the camp, I will never be soft!"
Old Boros really wanted to ask what happened just now. He didn't know how he failed until now, but after seeing William's arrogant face, this old man with excess self-esteem He couldn't open his mouth.
But that doesn't mean he can't find out the truth.
Boros Habershield walked towards the meeting square with heavy steps, where many young people who had just got up from the warm beds were swearing and swearing. If it weren't for the extraordinary significance of the assembly alarm that sounded just now, They will never leave the warm blanket for even a second.
When the old Boros appeared in front of everyone, one of the burly, or a bit fat, young people immediately yelled like a wild boar who had been stung, saying: "Damn old dog! Why did you knock that Damn clock! Old man, do you know you're a piece of shit! Listen old man! If you don't give us a rationale for today's alarm bells, I swear, I'll make you pay !"
The old man looked at this stupid boy with some disgust. He really suspected that the birth of this boy was just an accidental gift (similar to Xi Dangda) to his shrewd and capable father.
Boros suppressed the irritability in his heart, and said expressionlessly: "Pomus of the Abela family, I understand your anger. But since I sounded the crisis alarm, I have my reasons."
"What the hell reason to start with an F! Old man! I hate your prudishness the most!" Another grumpy lad's morning compliment to an old dude.
And more young people next to him also abused and insulted the old man with all kinds of obscenities, but no one dared to beat the old man directly, because they knew very well that the old man's skills were really extraordinary. For the sake of being beaten, not to mention that this old guy has two sons who are very good at beating.
Boros looked at these young people in their teens and twenties sadly, and he couldn't help but feel sad for their shallowness and ignorance.He said: "I have received news that a group of people of unknown origin are attacking the six-member council, and the councilors are facing dire danger, and now they need our assistance!"
"My God! It's impossible! You're kidding, right? Old Boros! Hurry! Hurry up and lead the horses! I'm going to save my father!" The obese boy is one of the current six MPs The eldest son of Congressman La, although this boy has many shortcomings, such as stupidity, tyranny, poisonous tongue, rudeness, etc., it is undeniable that he loves his family very much.
Another young man named Mursimmir thinks more.He grabbed the boy from the Abela family, and then asked the old man: "Mr. Boros, the location of the Council of Six is still a secret, I'm curious, how do you know where the MPs are, and who is besieging them? It's more about your sources."
Perhaps finding his companions in a state of bewilderment and having trouble understanding his esoteric questions, he said, "I'll just say it straight, Mr. Borrows. It's hard for us to be sure that you're not directing and acting out a worrying show." coup farce, so unless you can name your source and let us verify the authenticity, we can't believe anything you say."
The old Boros suddenly found that there were still one or two smart people among these young people, which made him somewhat relieved, but what was a little uncomfortable was that the cleverness of this smart guy seemed to be spent at the wrong time. , also in the wrong place.
The old man simply didn't want to make extravagant problems, so he said directly: "The gate of the camp was blocked, and a powerful person who didn't know where he came from was standing at the gate, waiting for someone to challenge him, and the news that the councilors were besieged was also brought by that man." Come. He claims that no one will leave the cavalry battalion today unless someone can break through his defenses."
"Are you an idiot? Old man! How can there be a person in this world who came to block the cavalry gate?! You still have the nerve to ring the alarm? I think you are really old-fashioned!"
"Old man, you are no longer fit to serve as the Supreme Councilor! Resign and return to your White Hart Hotel!"
"Come on! Guys! Let's teach that idiot at the door a lesson! Does he think the knights of Misty Valley can be provoked by any cat or dog?"
……
Among the group of young people, several jumped out first. They couldn't wait to mount the disobedient war horses, and then they each carried their war guns or two-handed swords and rushed towards the gate of the barracks crookedly.
The first one to rush over was the boy from the Abela family. His horse was the strongest and tallest, and his sprinting speed was also the fastest. When he held up his lance and was struggling to find the sight, William moved a step forward to the left. Stepping forward, he turned around and swept away thousands of troops, but directly sent the boy back from his horse.
The horse rushed out of the barracks, but the rider stayed inside the door. I saw the boy lying on the ground and twitching non-stop, with dirty blood pouring out of his mouth, and his back had already been pierced. The force blasted a big hole, and shattered viscera and bone stubble spewed all over the ground.
William killed one at a time, and the young knights who charged with the Abelard boys, unaware of the terrible tragedy that had befallen their companions, continued on with their horses.
William's battle guns immediately turned into a forest of guns, almost killing one person with each shot, and leaving their bodies inside the camp gate. They made the little girls in charge of gathering the horses flustered for a while.
Of course, among the young knights who stormed the gate of the camp, there were some lucky ones who survived, not to say that the lucky ones were so skilled in martial arts.On the contrary, this guy was too weak, his riding skills were not good enough, and he fell off his horse before he could reach William.
Although the situation looked embarrassing and embarrassing, this unlucky lucky man managed to save his life and was not killed by William's gun on the spot.
When this silly and cute guy struggled to get up from the ground, clutching his sprained arm and looking around, he found that his little friends were already dead.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
There is a kind of helplessness in this world, which is called change in the blink of an eye.
Now Eletan Blackhawk is facing such a situation. He just fell off the horse once, but when he looked up, he found that he was the only one who died among a group of friends.
Looking at the bloody corpses of his little friends, some of whom were still twitching and struggling with blood, Yilaitan couldn't help but shuddered, and then lay down on the ground and vomited.
Not to mention Elitan, even the old Boros and a group of young knights who had just come out of the meeting square were so horrified that they couldn't help themselves, and some timid ones even pissed their pants.
Boros Habershield, a veteran who has been on the battlefield, has experienced countless dangers in his life, but he has never felt a terrifying chill from the bottom of his heart like today.
It's too cruel!
Boros once imagined that William might not be merciful in the next battle, but he never thought that William would be so ruthless that he would leave no room for it.
It can be said that William's ruthless kill completely woke up the rest of the cavalry. They no longer had the thought of underestimating the enemy, and rushed into their respective storage rooms one by one, and began to put on armor for themselves.
Not long after, an almost fully armed cavalry appeared in front of William's eyes. They were the new Mist Valley Knights, and they were also the only reliable force in the entire camp.
Boros Habershield took the opportunity to regain the command of the entire team. After all, apart from him, it is difficult to find another excellent general who is capable of commanding groups of soldiers in the cavalry reserve in Misty Valley.After all, apart from the issue of political stance, everyone knows that Old Boros is the best cavalry commander in the entire valley.
Next, the old Boros learned the previous lesson, he divided the soldiers into several groups, and then each formed a formation, forming several continuous shock waves.
He still didn't believe it, just relying on William alone, how could he resist the mass charge of these hundreds of cavalry corps.
A standard Misty Valley knight's equipment, including three lances, a one-handed sword, a two-handed epee, a body of studded chain mail compound armor (can be regarded as a double synthesis of chain mail and hard leather armor), A one-handed crossbow, twelve crossbow arrows, two war horses, a pack horse, and two sets of cowhide horse armor.
Each fog knight is also equipped with two horse attendants, and these two horse attendants are also the reserve of the fog knights. Perhaps after their teacher dies or retires, one of them can become a new fog knight.
It's a pity that there are hardly any serious Mist Knights in the cavalry battalion now, perhaps the old Boros is one, but it's a bit difficult to do it alone, otherwise William's interception operation would definitely not be so easy.
Boros knows that what he needs to do more now is to be a qualified commander.
Soon, five heavily armed cavalry, men in armor, horse armor, three lances and two battle swords formed a small inverted "V"-shaped battle formation, and went directly towards William.
The "V" battle formation is a cavalry siege battle formation commonly used by the Mist Knights, and it is one of the tactics specially used to siege and kill those monsters or aliens with strong individual strength.
Usually, the two riders at the front will keep a distance from each other, or use lances or crossbows to interfere with the target, and then the two riders will get closer, and they will use their swords to cut the flanks of the target from both sides, and finally Yiqi is responsible for launching a frontal charge.
The last cavalry is usually the most dangerous, and if the enemy is weak, he is the last reaper.But if he can't kill the enemy, he needs to entangle the opponent as much as possible to create a chance for the companion who has completed the entanglement to kill.
It's a pity that the horse attendants are not proficient in combat skills, and it is even difficult for them to shoot reliable crossbow arrows on horseback. The chances of these rookies shooting their own people are even far greater than shooting the enemy, so they can only rely on lances and Battle swords to complete tactical missions.
Two lances with a bit outrageous accuracy slashed past William's side. It wasn't that the enemy showed mercy to him, but that the two young riders couldn't control their weapons a bit. Combat skills that require long hours of hard training are far from enough for these untrained melon eggs to master thoroughly.
But they didn't attack William, but it didn't mean William let them go.With a flick of the zhanger long spear to the left, the rider on the left fell off the horse, while the rider on the right felt swept by a strong wind, and was hit hard between the eyebrows, and immediately fell into the dust, life and death unknown.
Just as the two riders fell off their horses, the rest of the riders had already charged forward. The rider with the sword leveled his sword sideways, preparing to use the horse's sprint speed to kill William.
However, William jumped straight up, jumping a bit higher than the horse, just avoiding the attack of the sword, but the spear in William's hand, which was in the air, stabbed the two without stopping. The rider with the sword was assassinated by the horse.
Then there is the last rider.
This rider who also charged with a lance was the one with the highest combat level among the five in this group, and his extraordinaryness could be seen from his steady posture with the gun.His gun was very steady, and the point of the gun was always pointed at William and almost never moved away. Although it was still far behind the old Boros's ambiguous riding skills, it was already considered rare.
