The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 173 The Destruction of Mercenaries

Sitting and watching the boat, the desolation along the way makes people feel a sense of bewilderment. When the "Sir Henry" came to the confluence of the Surbring River and the Raven River, everyone knew that they were approaching the border of Nesmai.Different from the gentleness and gentleness of the Ruiwen River, the Surbring River is like a grumpy wild horse, running and rolling very dishonestly. If the environment and location were not right, William even thought that he was facing the mouth of the Yellow River in his previous life.

Originating from the source of the Surbring River deep in the Spine of the World, due to the terrain and the Ruiwen River, it has evolved into an extremely spectacular and magnificent waterfall valley. The mighty Spine of the World snow falls from a height of tens of meters. , merging with the relatively gentle Ruiwen River.Sailing here requires extremely skilled veterans, and the boat must be strong enough, otherwise the fate of the boat capsized and the lives lost is very likely to be foreseen.

The five-day voyage between Silvermoon City and Nesmee was shortened by two full days due to a sudden acceleration. Although he never heard the roar of the berserk giant baboons along the way, William still felt the danger and did not hesitate. Before going away, he had an intuition that the monster might still fall behind and never leave.

Along the way, William also rode Mo Xiao to patrol behind him several times, but unfortunately found nothing in the end. It seems that the so-called intelligent superman of this monster is indeed true. In desperation, William could only secretly raise his vigilance to deal with possible surprise attacks.

In the evening, the legendary "Cone of Eternal Wilderness" finally appeared in front of everyone.From a distance, Nesmai looks more like a military fortress. The tall and sturdy circular castle is covered with various defensive facilities, and traces of past battles are still faintly visible.A huge bridge spans both sides of the Surbrin River. If the Moon Bridge in Silver Moon City is a mysterious and exquisite little girl from the south of the Yangtze River, this bridge built of unknown boulders is a tough Kansai man.

Because of its unique geographical advantages, Nesmai has an absolute advantage in the trade activities of the Northland, because it controls the most important water communication line in the entire Northland.But Nesmy has its own troubles—trolls, and the Eternal Wilderness is arguably the most densely populated place for trolls, and there are far more trolls living here than in almost any other place.Every spring, the trolls who have survived the long winter in the ice and snow will gather in groups to the city wall of Nesmai, and they try to capture this human fortress to obtain the "food" hidden inside.

And every few years, the orc tribes on the north bank of the Surbrin River will come to mix in, which makes the entire city of Nesmee tend to be strong and highly defended, including its docks and other commercial buildings.

Elastra once warned William to be careful of Nesmai, and try not to enter the only human settlement in this eternal wilderness if possible, because this trading city is controlled by the priests of the Temple of the Gods, especially He is the confidant of Woking, the goddess of wealth and trade, and has an absolute advantage in the city's council, so William and Yasuna had to obediently stay on the boat and count the stars.

While William and the others were bored in Nesmi, an extremely tragic battle was taking place hundreds of miles away.The group of mercenaries who set off from Silvermoon City never imagined that the danger they faced was so terrifying. When doing business in the wilderness, a group of terrifying existences targeted the mercenary team.

Although Frink is one of the most confidantes of Alaszhuo, he doesn't know what he is facing.Although bandits composed of goblins and ogres came to harass them several times during the day, Frink and the mercenaries didn't take it seriously, because there are too many goblins and ogre bandits in this era, so many people are surprised Strange, they overlooked one point, why the goblins, who have always been bullying and fearful, dared to provoke such a "huge" team.

Hundreds of goblins, dozens of ogres, dozens of trolls, and a small number of old and weak orcs fell under the swords of the mercenaries. All weak monsters within ten miles.

Ordinary caravans walking on the wasteland will always form groups of different sizes and move together in groups, so Frink's team is also mixed with other traveling merchants and their guards, and it is these Some unknown characters among the people gave them the first blow.

The mercenaries in charge of guarding at night lost their lives inexplicably, and then groups of scavengers (an evil and ferocious humanoid monster) and decayers (favorites of the fallen) sneaked into the camp, bone horned monsters, dark predators , Horror Demon, Fistula Giant, Corrosion Demon... These minions of the fallen god Moander crazily destroyed everything they could destroy, and blood and slaughter filled the entire earth.

When Frink managed to kill a scavenger, he knew that this mission was over: "Damn it! Thunder curse you son of a bitch, what trouble did you get me into, and let Mo Andor's bedbugs are so crazy, I will beat your big ass when I go back! Morkuln, Morkuln, where are you?" The shapeshifter cursed the "rival" far away in Silvermoon City, and used his shapeshifting The strange language called his son.

At this time, two dark predators suddenly appeared beside Frink, and Frink had to cheer up to deal with the next attack of these two terrifying monsters, but to his surprise, one of the dark predators suddenly entangled with its tentacles. Captured the companion, and decapitated it with its abnormally sharp upper limb bone blade.

While Frink was still in a daze about the mutation just now, the surviving monster said, "Father, don't be stupid, I'm Morkuln! Ah, I hate becoming such a disgusting monster, But it seems that the effect is not bad Even if you are my father, I have to warn you, don't tell Annie about this."

On the boat in the river outside Nesmy, William, who was enjoying the quiet night, didn't know that their leisurely days were about to end, because the attention-grabbing team was dying, and the enemy's eyes were bound to focus on them.

In the early morning, William, who got up early for morning exercises, watched a group of cavalry quickly cross the bridge over the river, galloping along the rugged wilderness dirt road to the depths of the eternal wilderness.On the west bank of the Sebring River is the stable of the Nesmai City Guard. Nearly [-] well-trained cavalry are stationed here, and they guard the entire Nesmai area within a two-day ride.

Morgan's fleet needs to spend two days in Nesmai to complete several considerable transactions and replenish some supplies.William noticed that whenever he was dealing with others, Morgan always showed a miserable honest businessman's appearance, just like when he first met Morgan, but when he returned to the ship, Morgan reverted to a A shrewd and courageous captain.

While waiting for the boat to sail, teaching the two little girls to fish was William's newfound joy, but the two little girls were really impatient, and they wandered off from time to time and turned their attention to other places.Suddenly, Misha pointed to the sky in the distance and shouted: "William, look over there, what a big dark cloud!" William suddenly looked up, but found that there was some kind of cloud, more like rising from the prairie fire Smoke and dust, and that was the direction where the Nesmai cavalry left in the morning. William couldn't help but feel that someone was setting fire to the wasteland.
