The Swordsman of Faerûn

There were fewer caravans on the road, and the environment around the Bow Axis Avenue quickly became worse.

Many goblins, ogres and all kinds of beasts and monsters slowly settled down near the road.

However, some small business travelers and adventurers are not uncommon. Among them are daring smugglers, spies and spies who carry out secret missions.

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

Yulas used to be a huge and strong city-state. In its heyday, Yulas was not inferior to Zhentil Castle and Yuanshan City.

It's just that Yulas, who had to face the edge of Zhentil Castle due to the geographical location, was tricked by a few pig teammates.

When the invincible army of Zhentil Fort approached the city of Yulas, Shadow Valley and Fuenla, as allies, chose to stand by and watch, while another ally, Yuanshan City, sent an army.

However, not only did this army not have any positive effect, but it was domineering and domineering in the city of Yulas. legs, causing several disasters.

As a result, the relationship between the two city-states, Yulas and Yuanshan City, has also become tense, but a pair of good allies have become estranged.Therefore, when Yulas was really destroyed, the reinforcements from Yuanshan City were slow to arrive, and there was another ally with malicious intentions—a group of troops from Shadow Valley suddenly stabbed back, and the result was naturally unspoken. Metaphor.

Speaking of the Shadow Valley team that stabbed Yulas in the back, it was a major scandal in Shadow Valley since this century.

It should be noted that before William captured Shadow Valley, the regime in Shadow Valley was established by Ms. Helen and her husband Orem Obassky.

Here I want to say that the inheritance of the lord of Shadow Valley follows the transmission direction of a magic item called [Ashaba's Pendant]. This magic amulet represents the dominion of Shadow Valley.

The Hillen and his wife were able to control the Valley of Shadows because they had enough power and because they had found this magical amulet of great significance.

Only nearly 20 years ago (early 1339 in the valley calendar), a group of unknown assassins assassinated the King of Shadow Valley, Orem Obassky, and stole [Ashaba's pendant].

Just when the people of Shadow Valley were making a fuss in pursuit of the murderer, an adventurer named Yodohan stood up and unexpectedly caught the so-called murderer who assassinated the lord.

Later, Jodohan retrieved the [Ashaba's Pendant] and won a high reputation in the Valley of Shadows. Soon after, Jodohan became the new lord of the Valley of Shadows.

As soon as Jodohan took office, because of certain events that seemed to represent the interests of the locals of Shadow Valley, he had conflicts with the neighboring city-state Fuenla, and then the relationship between the two parties deteriorated at an almost surprising speed, and even It developed into an armed confrontation.

It was also during this period that the conflicts between Zhentil Fort and Yulas continued one after another. Even though Yulas sent envoys to ask for help several times, Jodohan refused to send reinforcements because of his conflict with Fuenla.

It wasn't until Yulas invited the Harper Alliance at the most critical moment, and several big men came forward to persuade them, that Yodohan had no choice but to personally lead an army to Yulas for support.

It was also this team from Shadow Valley, or the team in name, that when Yulas was besieged by Zhentil Castle, they suddenly turned back and killed all the high-level officials including the lord of Yulas. opened the gates of the city.

As a result, Yulas fell, and Jodohan's true identity was exposed. It turned out that he was the spy sent by Zhentil Castle to Shadow Valley, which also attracted the punishment of "Black Rod" Kelben Olosan. Kill (Valley calendar 1345).

Since Yulas was captured by Zhentil Castle, the local residents have been scattered and scattered.

Some of the residents of Yuras were taken captive by Zhentil Fort and turned into captives and slaves. Some fled to Comanthor or settled in the valley. Only a small number of people who were unwilling to give up their homes were scattered in the surrounding wilderness. Dreaming of regaining the former homeland, from time to time, he organizes people to go deep into the ruins of the city of Yulas to explore.

William and his party met such an expedition team composed of the remnants of Ulylas.

This is an adventure team composed of nine people, three warriors, two rangers, a pharmacist and three thieves.

The Yurathian expedition was besieging a lone ogre when William encountered it.

While ogres are minor characters not worth mentioning to William, they are not to the average adventurer.Ogres are smart or cunning enough that they are as powerful as giants—or rather, ogres are a kind of giant.

When faced with the fierce attack of the ogre, unless it is an opponent who is not inferior in strength, ordinary people are completely unable to compete, including the three fighters of Yulas.

The Yulas expedition team seemed to have a lot of adventurers, but in fact there were only three real veterans, a warrior, a ranger, and a thief, and the rest were novices just out of the nest.

Perhaps these novices are not bad in skills, and they have killed goblins and hunted wild animals on weekdays, but their actual combat level against powerful enemies is very lacking.

Such as this ogre's powerful sweep, people with brains must not dare to resist head-on, and should first avoid and retreat.But the two young warriors shrank foolishly behind the shield, and were thrown flying by the monster's stick.

The shield was broken and people were flying. Even if the two poor Ren'er did not die on the spot, they directly lost the ability to stand up and fight again. They could only lie on the ground and vomit blood and howl.

The remaining seven adventurers were in a panic, especially the four young ones, who were almost numb with fright.

On the contrary, the three-year-old adventurer still had some fighting spirit. The warrior slapped the shield in his hand with his long sword to attract the attention of the ogre. Waiting for the best opportunity to shoot arrows, while the remaining older thieves shrank and ran towards the two wounded companions.

The cunning ogre ignored the provocation of the elder warrior, but covered his face with a big wooden stick, and strode towards the wounded and fallen warrior.

The ranger had no choice but to shoot an arrow, and the arrow nailed the raised armpit of the ogre.

For most humanoid creatures, the armpits are places where nerve endings are abundant, and their sensitivity is quite high, and the ogre species is no exception.Therefore, even though the ranger's arrow was not fatal, the severe pain stimulated the ogre to become irritable.

Seeing the monster, he couldn't help roaring, but he stretched out his rough, empty hand and grabbed the arrow stuck in his armpit. That rude movement caused the monster to roar angrily again.

The monster threw an arrow that was no bigger than a pin to it, and then swung a big wooden club and rushed towards the ranger who was shooting the arrow angrily.

The ranger stood on the spot and quickly shot the second arrow, but was blocked by the ogre with a stick, and then the ranger moved away while preparing to shoot the third arrow.

The reason why this ranger is so calm is not only that he is courageous enough, but also because his fellow warriors have already carried their swords and shields and charged against the ogre's approach.

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

The old warrior held an oak shield in one hand and a long steel sword in the other, and quickly walked towards the ogre with small steps.

The ogre didn't take this warrior seriously. He was quite satisfied with the record of severely injuring two opponents with a single blow, and he looked down on these little hairless men.

Of course, this is not to say that this ogre is arrogant, and an ogre who is too arrogant will definitely not survive now.

Generally, when an ogre faces a human adventurer, it will first test the quality of the opponent, and the ogre in front of it is the same.

It launched a powerful attack, if the three human warriors can block it, the ogre will definitely run as far as possible; or if the soldiers can escape unscathed, then the ogre will be cautious many.

Because fighters (including barbarians and plate armor priests) are almost the face of all (ordinary) adventurer teams, the teammates of one or a few powerful fighters must basically be not inferior in level.

However, the two young fighters from the survivors of Yulas lost their minds as soon as they came up, and were severely injured by the ogre's stick, which taught the monster to underestimate the group of people.

It's too late, but it's fast.This person and the ogre met together almost in the blink of an eye, but the ogre didn't have much patience and didn't stop on its feet. It swung a big wooden stick in its claws and threw it at the old soldier.

The human warrior was already prepared. He smashed the oak shield in his hand directly at the ogre's face to divert the monster's attention.The small steps under the feet changed instantly, a sliding shovel passed under the ogre's big wooden club, and rushed straight to the monster's feet.

Before the ogre could react, the human warrior slashed at the ogre's ankle.

The warrior was taken aback when the sword edge touched the monster's flesh, because he slashed at the ogre's body with the sharpness of the steel long sword in his hand, but it was like a blunt knife cutting cowhide, and it was almost impossible to cause much effective damage. harm.

As a result, the human warrior's plan to limit the ogre's mobility by beating its ankles to stop the monster fell short, and the resulting consequences naturally harmed other human adventurers.

The first unlucky thing is the senior ranger who is attacking. His shooting is the only existence that makes the ogre feel threatened. Target.

To sum it up in a game term is the relationship between output and hatred.

The comrade's tactical mistake made it almost impossible for the ranger who had just shot the third arrow to react, and the ogre had already rushed in front of him.He didn't even have time to dodge, so he could only hold the precious birch bow across his chest as much as possible, but was swung by the monster's stick, and fell to the ground like a broken bag, dying.

Then the ogre, like a tiger entering a flock, drove the rest of the adventurers into a frenzy. In the blink of an eye, three of them were killed and two of them were injured, leaving only the old warrior from before. And the veteran thief was unharmed.

It's just that at this time, the two of them had completely lost their fighting spirit, and the thief didn't even have the courage to look at his companion, so the wolf ran into the bushes to escape for his life.

And although the old soldier lost his fighting spirit, he did not escape cruelly after all. After all, besides the three dead bodies, there were four seriously injured companions on the ground.

Of course, even if this soldier stayed, the final outcome might just be an extra life, but he still stayed after all, but he wanted to live and die with his companions.

At this time, the ogre had completely relaxed, and felt that he was safe.

It used its fat and big tongue to lick the human blood stained on the big wooden stick in its hand, and then prepared to harvest the last "two-legged sheep" to draw a successful conclusion to its hunting plan.

The human warrior summoned up his last remaining courage, chanted the motto in praise of the God of Courage, and held up the steel long sword to launch the final attack on the ogre.

Looking at the unrelenting human warriors, the ogre's dark yellow pupils radiated a cruel smile.It didn't worry about any threat this human could pose to itself, but was delighted that the walking food didn't escape.

The ogre hit the rushing human warrior with a smashing blow, and even though the human warrior was completely desperate, his excellent fighting skills and rich experience in fighting the enemy made him face the attack of the ogre. He also subconsciously parried and evaded.

The stainless steel long sword collided with the big wooden stick, and the sword edge cut sawdust pieces the size of a baby's palm on the wooden stick, but the long sword couldn't withstand the huge impact force, and unexpectedly broke from it.

Seeing that the only threatening weapon on the prey was damaged, the ogre couldn't help but let out a loud growl to express its excitement.It swung and swept towards the human warrior continuously, and the huge wooden stick leveled everything in front of it like a bulldozer. Only the human warrior was still struggling to the death with his nimble footsteps.

Just as one man and one ogre were fighting selflessly, two strange horse hisses suddenly came from midair.The reason why this horse neighs is strange is that most horses neigh usually have a low and short neigh, but this neigh is as high-pitched as a cloud, like a roar of a dragon or a tiger.

Whether it was the ogre who was chasing and killing human warriors, or a few living humans, they couldn't help but look up into the sky.

I saw a majestic flying horse covered in jet black unexpectedly descending from the sky, and then two little girls who looked like porcelain dolls jumped off from the flying horse's back.

An eight or nine-year-old girl with blond hair and snow-skinned skin, and a ten-year-old girl with slightly shorter red hair.

The two girls were each wearing exquisite leather armor, with sheathed daggers that were too long for them, and elaborate crossbows on their backs.

Only the slightly older red-haired girl was holding a cane-like short stick in her hand.

What a pleasing pair of girls!But I don't know which noble family's daughter is a daughter.

The human warrior took the opportunity to get some respite, but after seeing the two girls clearly, he couldn't help but yelled like a curse: "Idiot bastard!! Hurry up and run on your flying horse!"

The two girls didn't want to appreciate it, so the red-haired girl wrinkled Xiao Qiong's nose and said loudly: "That uncle! Although I know that you scolded us with good intentions, Misha'er is still very angry! So I decided not to save Xiao Qiong for the time being. You are gone!"

The human warrior didn't take what Misha'er said seriously. He was really anxious this time. After all, it's one thing for a few adults to die in a manpower battle, but two ignorant and innocent children suddenly rushed in to die. , but it made him feel greatly unwilling.

The soldier didn't know how to save this doomed tragic situation, he could only follow his own heart and vowed to use his life to delay the monster for the two children.

When the ogre saw the appearance of the two girls, it couldn't help but drool in its bloody mouth.

It should be known that this monster is not only greedy and cruel by nature, but also very lustful.Their aesthetics are almost the same as mainstream humans, and they will not let go of any female-creatures of suitable size.

Just when the ogre was so distracted, the red-haired girl suddenly threw her cane at it.

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

A small cane is no more than a foot and a half long, as thin as a rattan cane, no one will take small things like children's toys to their hearts.

The ogre was thinking the same way, it didn't even have the thought of blinking its eyelids, not to mention dodging from the walking stick that was slamming down slowly.

However, when the joking stick hit him, the ogre was completely dumbfounded.

The ogre felt that his sternum was almost completely shattered, as if he had been tap danced on his chest by a terrifying mammoth.

The ogre is very familiar with that feeling. It was a nightmare experience when it was punched by a ferocious adult of its own kind when it was a child, and it almost died on the spot.

Not only the ogre, but everyone present was also inexplicably shocked. Who would have thought that a cute little girl would almost kill an ogre with a cane?Could it be that she is a giant dragon that has changed the shape of a human being?

Only Misha and Seluer knew that was not the case, it wasn't because of Misha's terrifying strength, it was all because of the cane.

It was the wreckage of an artifact that once belonged to the gods, and it possessed the terrifying power to shatter everything.

Misha'er had defeated many opponents with this cane-shaped artifact, but now this ogre has become another poor victim.

As for why the little girl used throwing instead of going up to melee to meet the enemy?She is not a fool, but how can she resist the ogre's long hands, long legs, and terrifying strength with her small arms and legs? You must know the two truths on the battlefield-"one inch is long and one inch is strong" and "one inch is strong" and "one inch is strong" Force down ten meetings", the ogre has taken over all of them.

No matter how sensitive Misha'er's skills are, it is useless. She is young and her body has not yet grown up. Unless she uses utensils, there is no other way to think about it.

Speaking of which, these congenital defects are not only found in children like Misha'er, but also in small humanoid intelligent creatures such as halflings and gnomes.

Just because the ogre was brought down with a short staff doesn't mean the battle is over.

Following William's teachings, Misha rushed to the ogre, and the short staff had returned to the little girl's hands at some point (similar to another barbarian's magic weapon, Aegis' Fang) effect, no matter whether it hits the enemy or not, it will return to the user's hand in a way similar to magic teleportation), the little guy raised his short staff, and hit the ogre's forehead hard, knocking the monster's skull directly gotta smash.

In this way, the monsters that caused the entire Yulas expedition to be nearly wiped out ended up in the hands of a little girl like a child's play.

The human warriors of Yulas stared blankly at the sweetly smiling little girl, feeling as if they were having an unreal dream. Is this the end of the seemingly hopeless situation?

Indeed, anyone who was rescued by a little guy in this situation would have such an unacceptable psychological gap.

Just like you are a man who is bullied by a group of street gangsters, and then a primary school student jumps out to punish the evil and promote the good, saving you from the fire and water, you will also feel that you are living like a dog when you are old.

Misha'er didn't care how many psychological shadows the fighters of Yulas had. She looked at the scattered corpses of adventurers and the mourning wounded around her, and couldn't help saying to the only person who could still stand: "Hey! Uncle ("Uncle" here is not a respectful title, but a neutral and derogatory term similar to "old man, old thing, Obasan") You are so inferior! So many people even have a "big man" Bang Bang (a Faerun countryman's slang term for an ogre)' can't beat it!"

Yulas' fighter wanted to refute it, but unfortunately he couldn't find any excuses. Could he say that the battle collapsed because of the mistakes of two novice fighters?

Therefore, the surviving elder soldier gave a solemn thank you to Mi Sha'er with a face of shame, but it made the little girl flustered.Except that he doesn't like to pay attention to politeness, this child and William are just like one another.

The old warrior had a good sense of observation, and he could tell at a glance that Misha'er was not really unruly and willful, so he continued to salute and said, "Thank you very much! Brave child! It was you who saved me from the terrible ogre. My life and that of my companions. Let me introduce myself, I am Diludo Kuran of Modri, a warrior from the wilds of Old Yuras."

Misha'er, smack, smack, Xiaozuier, responded with a slightly perfunctory "Oh", she naturally didn't know what the surname "Kuran" represented in the Yulas area.

In the past century before the fall of Yurath, Kuran represented the most famous adventurers, warriors and generals in the Lunar sea.The Kuran family is not the royal family of Yulas, but it is the most loyal subordinate family of Lord Yulas. The warriors of the Kuran family once participated in the most tragic battle of Zhentil Castle in the north on behalf of Yulas.

At that time, Zhentil Fort was still a bridgehead of a civilized society of goodness and justice, and it was the front line for the kind people in the Valley, the Moon Sea, and Comanthor to resist the barbarians, orcs, and evil giants from the north.

The hero named Kuran won the respect of all in that tragic war.

It's just that when Yulas was besieged by Zhentilbao people more than 20 years ago, that generation of Kuran children did not perform satisfactorily. Even during the fall of Yulas city wall, that stupid Kulan General Lan also bears an unshirkable responsibility.

When the people of Yulas fled in all directions, some people with lofty ideals who were unwilling to die chose to stay, and they were looking for opportunities to rebuild the city-state.

Of course, the above information came from the generous support of the Harper intelligence agents in Far Mountain City. In return, William allowed them to openly establish a stronghold in Far Mountain City and participate in the city's security work.

This is something that can't be helped. As the chief executive officer, Zeriya has had such an incident. If she doesn't find a way to bring in foreign aid, a similar situation may still be unavoidable.

After much deliberation, in this case the Harper Alliance is undoubtedly a more reliable choice.

Misha'er doesn't care about those miscellaneous things, she just wants to help her brother with practical actions (literally), not with her brain.

She said: "Diludo? Alright! Uncle Diludo, killing an ogre is no more difficult for me than killing a goblin.

You can call me Misha, of course I would be happier if I could add the title of lady or princess after my name. "
