The Swordsman of Faerûn

Countless flame warriors fought around the tentacle monster, and soon tore the servant of the evil god into pieces and burned them to ashes.

A golem mecha tens of feet in height no less than that of Moander walked out of the gate of flames with a bang. It was burning with flames and came to William in a few steps, half kneeling and squatting. Next, let its master stand on its shoulders.

William stood in the flames, waved his hands forward, and said loudly: "My Legion of Flame, kill the evil god in front of you!"

More flame golems rushed out of the flame gate, and they and more flame warriors swept towards the saint incarnation of Moander like a tsunami.

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

What flame creatures like to do most is to ignite everything that can burn, whether it's trees, rocks (carbon) or living things.

Warriors of the flame department like to cover their weapons and armor with burning flames. When they hit the enemy with flame weapons, they are very intoxicated by the fun of burning the opponent's body with the high temperature of the flames.

But now William's flame servants seem to like another kind of game, a kind of "boom boom boom" dynamic joy.

If you are bored, "boom"!

I am happy, "boom"!

See who is not pleasing to the eye, "boom"!

Seeing the enemy in front, "Boom Boom Boom" a million times!

That's right!Just like another Waaagh guy next door who likes to play "bang bang" big firecrackers, the natives of the flame world also like "boom bang" big firecrackers.

The little flame cubs under William began to become a little abnormal after the flame giant was equipped with a hand cannon, a weapon with outstanding sound and light effects.

Whether it is the flame gnome, the fire dwarf, or the salamander, it seems that they have begun to covet this big toy that makes the adrenaline rush. The smaller the guy, the more he likes to play with the bigger caliber and more equivalent.

So when Moander was besieged by the Flame Legion, the first blow he faced was the heavenly justice from the Flame Griffin Knights in the sky.

Although Moander has just escaped from trouble, he is not alone. Around Moander, various mushroom creatures, slime creatures, twisted dryads, creepers, etc. continue to gather. Most of these monsters come from Deep in the ruins of Yurath, some also come from the surrounding wilderness.

It is precisely because of the existence of these monsters that Van der Longthorn and others could not even get close to the incarnation of the saint in Moander, and could only fall around and sigh in awe.

Even in a timeline without William, these monsters almost drained the blood of the elves in the Cormanthor jungle.

But today, these twisted, ugly monsters are having a bad day.

Of course it's the enemy's weapons that are grumpy, and their own twisted and broken bodies.

In fact, when the first batch of hand-throwing bombs fell, the monsters from the evil god camp didn't take it seriously, especially those mud-shaped monsters, and even deliberately used their gelatinous bodies to take over them.

Then, when the earth-shattering roar sounded, an unknown number of monsters were blown to pieces in the terrifying explosion like thunder and roaring.

However, before the terrified Cthulhu and his minions had time to react, more artillery fire was projected from a distance. This was the howitzer bombardment from the fire dwarves. The roaring God of War completely covered the Cthulhu and his followers , Countless monsters were torn into pieces amidst howls and roars, and even the evil god itself suffered a certain degree of blow.

Countless rattan tentacles twitched and twisted around Moander, blocking many shells or shrapnel from the outside.However, the firepower projected by the flame army is so violent that there are always many fish that escape through the barrier, and then bloom on the surface of the huge head.

The flames and roaring steel devoured the God of Corrosion, but the surrounding onlookers were inexplicably horrified. They couldn't understand the methods of William's army of flames, and they were extremely moved by this almost destructive scene. of fear.

Indeed, the power of even the smallest cannonball is by no means inferior to [Extreme Fireball], such as the light of justice falling from the sky, even comparable to the strongest single-body flame evocation spell [Yang Yan Blast], and this is not One or two isolated cases, but hundreds of thousands of non-stop smashing upwards, who can not be frightened by such a brutal firepower projection?

Even if the saint incarnation of Moander is surrounded by corrupt aura (field), even if he has quite high absolute immunity as a saint (any attack with a magic weapon effect lower than +3 cannot substantially harm the saint), he cannot Unscathed by this terrible attack.

When William's golem mecha approached the incarnation of the saint in Moander, the poor evil god had already turned into a rotten brain, and almost all the vines on his forehead were blown to pieces, with seven facial features. It looks like a lack of nose and eyes.

However, although Moander looks miserable, in fact, its divine essence has not been consumed much. Unless there is another divine existence or a device with divine power to attack it, otherwise this evil god can only be restricted or sealed, and cannot be destroyed. Complete kill.

However, this does not mean that the indiscriminate bombing of the Flame Legion is doing nothing.

It also takes energy for a saint to avoid death in front of mortals. This is not a data-based game, but a real reality. A rope saws a tree, and water drips through a stone, but it is a real physical law.

If Moander wants to maintain his incarnation of the saint, he has to consume energy to resist the attack of the flame legion.

To put it bluntly, the energy of a saint is divine power. Although the energy level of this divine power is indeed quite high, it is still quite a lot.Back then, when the gods and gods knocked all the gods down, they treated everyone equally. The amount of divine power carried by every saint is the same. No matter whether you are a demigod or a powerful divine power, no one should think too much about it. Take advantage.

Moreover, Io also cut off the connection between the saints and the kingdom of God (this is why some gods who didn't respond at the beginning desperately returned to the outer plane), the saints of the gods want to increase their divine power reserves, there are only two One way is to devour and plunder the divine power of other saints (Ban imprisoned Mystra for this), and the other is to rely on the believer's faith transformation.

Of course, there are two ways to transform believers' beliefs and accumulate divine power. One is to gather a large number of believers and exchange them with believers through the method of divine magic. This method of accumulating divine power is more effective. Slow, the advantage is that the water can flow for a long time, and it is said that there are other benefits.

Another more urgent way is to sacrifice the most devout believers to oneself, and transform these fanatical souls into surging divine power in a very short time. This method of obtaining divine power is not only time-consuming, but also quick , and a large amount can be full.

The disadvantage is that it costs more believers, and it is easy to die a lot.

Among all the saints known today, the two saints, the tyrant Bane and the god of loyalty and courage, gave everyone a head start with "urgency".

It's just that according to the reason that the god Aiou denounced the gods, this way of sacrificing a large number of believers in exchange for divine power is undoubtedly committing crimes against the wind, and the consequences are not so good.

In the turbulent years of another timeline, not all the saints who died did this kind of thing, but what is certain is that the saints who did this kind of thing basically died at least once.

The unlucky thing about Moander is that a batch of "divine power batteries" that he carefully prepared for himself were cut off before they could be used.

That's right!It was about the group of cultists who stole William’s family. They were originally intended to be used by Moander as a sacrifice to restore his divine power, but they were killed by William’s family before they had time to use them.

As a result, Moander's divine power reserves appear relatively poor.

Facing the indiscriminate bombardment of the Flame Legion, he gradually couldn't bear it anymore, and finally began to be impatient.

In fact, the incarnation of the holy man in Moander does not have many effective means of resistance. His usual abilities such as corruption, parasitism, and mutation are almost useless, because the flame legion does not engage in close-range combat with the evil holy man. Contact, but projecting firepower from a distance, not to mention that creatures of the flame type are naturally more resistant to this type of attack, so the evil god is really helpless for a while.

As more big firecrackers covered the evil god, the appearance of the saint incarnation of Moander looked more and more bleak.Large pieces of humus wood-like skin and body tissue were torn apart. These things that fell from the evil god should have become scars and sources of corruption on the earth, but it is a pity that they have been subjected to high temperature and powerful shock waves dozens of times. They can only be turned into almost harmless ashes and scattered on the ground.

In desperation, Moander turned himself into a huge amorphous jelly-like monster. After the flying shells fell into his viscous body, they fell into the water like mud cows, and failed to When it exploded, it was decomposed and decomposed by the colloid body incarnate by the evil holy man, and finally turned into a pool of rotten residue, and even those residues were decomposed, melted and absorbed by the colloid monster soon after.

And this is the horror of the jelly monster incarnated by the evil saint. He is not afraid of any physical attack. Tangible substances will only be corrupted and absorbed when they come into close contact. The only thing that can hurt the jelly monster is magic. and energy attacks.

However, the saint has a very high resistance to most of the energy and magic, and even the magical energy attack of certain attributes can not harm the jelly monster incarnated by the saint, but is equivalent to replenishing him with energy.

The thermal weapons and ammunition of the Flame Legion under William's hands are basically impact-explosive. The filling in the big firecracker is mainly detonated by the recoil generated when it hits the target. However, the glue structure of the colloidal monster The body has the function of absorbing and buffering the impact of kinetic energy, which caused the originally majestic cannon bombardment to become a toy that is not even as good as a slingshot for hitting birds.

After all, no matter how many shells you have, no matter how large the caliber, it will not make a sound when it hits the ground, and you can't even make a hole. Isn't it a joke?

However, this does not mean that the Flame Legion has no way to deal with this situation.

This is not to say that the commander of the Flame Legion is wise enough, but that there are quite some fire creatures with unique brain circuits in the flame world, such as the fire devil boy.

A fire devil is a small humanoid elemental creature that appears to be sculpted from molten stone and flowing magma, about the size of a seven or eight-year-old human cub.

Many times people always confuse the fire devil boy with the little devil from purgatory.But the two are completely different existences. The fire demon children are not evil, they just like to play tricks.

Fire devil children like to see things being ignited, intoxicated by the feeling of burning, and are willing to share this feeling with any creature - they are too simple to understand the pain of being burned by fire, and do not know this pain Will kill other creatures (it can be understood as an enhanced version of the Peach Valley Six Immortals).

Since the art of explosion was mastered by the Flame Legion, this "game" with outstanding sound and light effects has deeply attracted the fire devil children. They think it is a more brilliant and sacred combustion, and deeply Fascinated by it.

Ever since, the Flame Legion has added a unique unit—the fire devil child self-destruct soldier.

These small things are extremely dangerous. Their strength is by no means inferior to larger creatures (strength attribute 12+), and because their bodies are mostly rock structures, they can carry heavy objects that flesh and blood creatures of the same strength cannot bear.

When the fire devil children set foot on the battlefield with a [-]-pound firecracker on their backs, the members of the Flame Legion were not worried about the lack of power of the fire devil children's self-explosive soldiers, but only worried about whether these mischievous fire devil children would reach their goal Before the ground, I couldn't help detonating the big firecracker.

Fortunately, fire devil children are sometimes quite obedient, provided that you master the method of communicating with them.

Fire devil children don't like orders and oppression from authority, they simply admire chaos by nature, and they will use pranks to make trouble.

The best way to deal with the fire devil boy is to lure and provoke, and sometimes the aggressive method is even more effective than temptation.

A flame dwarf came to the fire demon boy self-demolition army with his chest and belly folded, and said arrogantly in the fire language: "Hey! Lava bastards! I made another big guy, a very 'boom boom' Boom' big dick. I'm going to throw the big dick on that slimy big dick with the Colossus Titan and tear him apart!

Believe me!My big one will eclipse all 'boom-boom-boom' and you lava bastards will be useless then!Hee hee hee, I will apply to cancel your toys! "

The fire clan language is the only language that allows the fire devil children to understand the thoughts of other creatures (it's just that there is no such word as "burn" in the fire clan language). When the fire devil children heard the provocation of the flame dwarf, they immediately The crowd was furious.

They started clamoring to blow up the big slimy guy first, and then turn the big "cold" bastard's big toys into useless decorations.

In the cognition of the fire devil child, any existence whose body surface temperature and heat radiation is not as good as them is a cold guy, not only the flame gnome is regarded in this way.

Under normal circumstances, fire devil children are not allowed to touch their big firecrackers, because they can't help detonating it at any time. Only when fire devil children self-destruct soldiers actually step on the battlefield to perform tasks, soldiers and equipment will touch .

The first batch of six fire demon children were sent to six directions, and then their exclusive firecrackers were also put in place one after another.These big firecrackers are small obsidian ratchet carts with a load capacity of more than 500 pounds, and the small carts are loaded with extremely powerful firecracker fillers.

When the fire demon child stepped onto the battlefield with a small cart, no flame sergeant dared to come within the range of its power.

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

The degree of commonness of fire devil children in the world of flames is like that of mice, cockroaches, and goblins in the realm of Faerun. They can be seen everywhere.Of course, the fire demon children are not hated by other fire creatures in the flame world. On the contrary, they are still very popular. After all, they just like to play tricks, which is not comparable to the three evils of Faerun.

In the world of Fire Demon Boy, there is no violence and hatred, only comfort and cold, likes and dislikes.If the fire devils like you, they will pull you to soak in the magma hot spring, which is the favorite entertainment of the fire devils (of course we have to add a "boom boom" now).

If they hate you, they will stay away from you and throw you with "dyed" obsidian. The dyeing here is not dyeing in the general sense, but the fire devil uses his own body temperature to heat the obsidian into magma red.

William loves the simplicity of the fire devils, and it would be perfect if they weren't always trying to set their castle bases ablaze in the world of fire.

These little things always think that the ecological base in William's palace is too cold.

Seeing the fire devil child self-demolition soldier pushing the ratchet trolley towards the saint incarnation of the evil god, for some reason, an inexplicable sense of guilt rose in William's heart.

He always had the feeling of seeing the child soldiers in the war-torn areas in his previous life, carrying grenades in his arms, walking towards the lighthouse oil transport workers.

This is also the reason why the Fire Demon Boy self-demolition soldier seems to be very useful and economical at certain times, but William has always been more resistant to the development of this soldier.

Otherwise, if the recruitment is relaxed, according to the order of magnitude of the fire demon boy in the flame world, the self-destruction army formed will definitely be so desperate that he will lose his breath.

The six fire demon boys pushed the cart with a "groaning hum", leaving a series of magma footprints behind them. Even the rotten breath left in the soil by Moando couldn't do anything to these high-temperature things for the time being.

When the fire demon child's self-demolition soldier approached the gelatinous monster transformed by the evil god, the arrogant evil god didn't pay attention to these six little things. Compared with the larger cart, the fire demon child is too inconspicuous up.She still used the usual method to wrap the fire devil boy and the trolley with viscose tissue.

It's just that the fire devil's body temperature is too high, and any gelatinous body that comes into contact with it will explode violently like ice water splashed on a red-hot soldering iron.

Of course, the fire devil children are not feeling well either, their body temperature is also dropping rapidly, and the originally bright red body surface is gradually getting darker, if this continues and the fire devil children cannot make any changes, then their final outcome is inevitable It is to usher in a cold extinguishment, and then be corrupted and dissolved by the gelatinous monster.

Fortunately, the Fire Demon Boys have the most powerful counterattack method. I saw them grabbing the small cart loaded with big firecrackers, pulling down a handle forcefully, and then——they showed expectant smiles.

Six extremely violent upsurges of light and heat that cannot be seen directly form six irregular small mushroom clouds (interfering with each other), and then they combine into a larger large mushroom cloud in mid-air .

The shock wave caused by the explosion turned into a gust of wind, and the members of Vander Dragon Spike and the Cyan Flail team hugged their heads and huddled together.Everyone's brains were stunned, and they almost lost the ability to think in a daze.

If it is said that the firepower projection of the Flame Legion opened the eyes of ordinary people, then the performance of these six fire demon children's self-demolition soldiers completely destroyed the reason of the world, and an invisible fear and worship is silently in people's hearts. Take root.

The bystanders have already suffered such a mental blow, let alone the master who is the direct audience of this fireworks feast - the God of Corruption, Moander.

The gelatinous monster transformed by her saint incarnation was almost completely torn apart, and most of the body tissues were even vaporized, leaving only a gelatinous core with a diameter of about two feet.

This is the origin of Moander's divinity, and it is also the divine power contained in it that can protect this gelatinous core to survive such a violent explosion.

Of course, all of this is not without cost. Saint Moander's divine power reserve has been reduced to an extreme at this time. If there is no external supplement, then her incarnation is not even as good as a mortal.

If this is changed to other saints, it means that they can give up this incarnation and choose a new carrier.

It's a pity that the followers of Moander in the main material plane are extremely limited, and there are even fewer qualified saint carriers, and the reliable ones are basically killed by William.

This also means that Moander can either stay in this almost exhausted body, be humiliated and bullied by these terrifying mortals before him, and then be enslaved or sealed. Of course, if they can find some kind of artifact, they can also kill her.

Either Moando gave up the incarnation of the saint and cast his divine origin into the unknown astral world, waiting for the believers of the corrupted god to awaken him again in the future, or he was picked up by other gods under the guise of the corpse.

Of course, Moander also has the last dead end option, which is to return to the abyss and reintegrate with another part of his true body.

But this is an impossible choice, Moander would rather be sealed by mortals, and would never choose to return to the abyss and become one with the original true body of the God of Corruption.

Just like Tymora, the goddess of luck, and Benshaba, the goddess of misfortune, who came from the same source, neither of the two goddesses wants to be swallowed and fused by the other, Moander on the main material plane also does not want to be fused by the original truth hidden in the abyss. Body devour fusion.

After all, it is sealed, she can wait for decades or hundreds of years, and she will be a good god when the seal is broken.But if she is fused with the original real body, then she will disappear forever, and she will never be saved again.

Speaking of the differentiation of Moander, we have to mention the birth process of the twin goddesses of luck and misfortune.

It is said that before this, there was a battle of the gods involving the gods in the world of Toril-the disaster of dawn.The young god Losander, Lord of the Dawn, was dissatisfied with the existence of many evil gods, and launched a pantheon cleansing aimed at eradicating many evil gods and filling the Pantheon with all good gods.

Of course, Lathander's real purpose was to seize the position of the boss of Amaunata, the main god of Netheril who occupied the position of the sun god.

The radical Lathander artificially divided all the gods into two camps, good and evil, with no room for a fencer in the middle.Of course, the Lord of Dawn did not rely on her reliance. Her biggest trump card was her lover and close partner—the Goddess of Destiny, Tikka.

Tikka can be said to be a very peculiar god. If it is divided according to the level of godhead, she is only a weak divine power. She should be regarded as a small one in the pantheon of powerful divine powers.But if anyone really dares to underestimate Tikka, he can only say that person or god is a fool.

Tika is in charge of the priesthood of destiny, even the most fierce and powerful divine power is not much stronger than a mortal in front of her.For the gods who are used to judging the strength of gods by their divine power, this is undoubtedly a sign that subverts their cognition.

Of course, a guy who likes to play with bones also learned a hand because of this, this is a later story.

In short, Lathander was quite arrogant and domineering by relying on Tikka, so that the Goddess of Fate, who was by nature loose and romantic, really didn't agree with the seriousness and meanness of the Lord of Dawn, so she gave Lathander a goodbye kiss and then traveled around the world.

During Tikka's travels, she met a rose that was so beautiful that even the gods were intoxicated.

The flowers were so delicate and beautiful that Tikka couldn't bear to leave them.

Tika wanted to pick the roses, but no matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't succeed.In desperation, Tikka, the goddess of fate, could only curse the rose with an unfortunate fate, and the stem of the rose shattered, and the flower fell to the ground.

The Goddess of Fate, who was full of joy of harvest, didn't think much about it. She directly put the gorgeous roses in her hair, and then continued her journey.

In fact, that rose is the incarnation of Moander, the god of decay and corruption. It is a holy and unclean thing (a bit cathodic, ugly and beautiful) that she evolved with the ultimate power of decay.

In this way, during the journey of the Goddess of Fate, the power of Moander gradually corrupted Tikka, her vitality dissipated, and her appearance withered, but Tikka herself did not notice it at all.

In the end, by the time Tikka finished her trip and was heading home (the Kingdom of God), she had completely transformed into a hideous and terrifying monster, but she didn't realize it (we doubt it).

When Tika returned to the Kingdom of God, there were already three friends waiting there in her home, Losander, Lord of Dawn, Su Lun, Goddess of Moon, and Azuth, God of Mage.
