The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 174 Nesma's Crisis
Setting fire to the original (forest) was definitely an extremely insane act of destruction in William's previous life, but it is much more common here. Man-made natural disasters are used to resist the invasion of monsters. This is the reality of human beings struggling to survive in this world. And helpless.

Of course, this has nothing to do with William. In his opinion, he is just a passing visitor. He takes good care of the little girl and helps a few close acquaintances by the way. The rest is not something he needs to consider, after all. William is not an ambitious hero, and he doesn't have so many thoughts, otherwise he would not end up wandering in another world.

Although William did not agree with the behavior of the Nesmai cavalry setting fire to the wilderness, he was too lazy to pay attention to it. He waited wholeheartedly for the "Sir Henry" to set sail again so that he could leave this "restricted" city as soon as possible, because according to the According to Elastra, they are the "public enemies" of almost all the servants of the gods.

Things are often independent of people's will, or in other words, accidents always happen inadvertently.On the second day after arriving in Nesmai, news came from the patrol outside the city that a large wandering orc tribe was approaching, so the whole Nesmai immediately entered a state of intense combat readiness.

In fact, Nesmai is not very busy at this time, and it will take at least one more month for the fleets of the cities downstream in the Rui-Ser-D waters to reach this place upstream.As for the upper reaches of the ship, the nearest city is Silvermoon City, and because of Alustri, the departure time of other fleets will be delayed for a few days, that is to say, the "Sir Henry" is the only one that has arrived in Ness In other words, there is a big loophole in Mai's foreign ship, in other words, the plan of "clearly repairing the plank road and secretly crossing the warehouse" arranged by Elastriol, but it is not yet known whether the emergence of this loophole was intentional or unintentional.

As we all know, orcs are not good at water warfare, and Nesmai has also summed up a feasible method in the process of resisting orc invasions. Organize an appropriate water surface maneuvering force to harass orcs, which can damage the morale of orcs faster , to accelerate its defeat.However, orc invasions do not happen every year. It is an extremely extravagant behavior to form a standing surface force. Therefore, it is inevitable to temporarily recruit local ships, and the "Sir Henry", which is more like a battleship than a cargo ship, was recruited. Of course it is unavoidable.

Most of the sailors on board were left behind to steer the "Sir Henry", but William's family as passengers were kicked out. Stay in a hotel.

The orcs came very quickly, and the fastest group of orcs almost chased after the trailing patrol. Of course, this small group of orcs did not fall behind. they.William, who secretly hid in a corner and watched the whole process, couldn't help but frowned. He had killed orcs before, and didn't think they were powerful at the time, but judging from today's situation, he underestimated them.

A mere [-] orc infantrymen and the Nesmai cavalry, whose number was several times larger than them, suffered almost the same number of casualties before they were wiped out.The cavalry was still waiting for work against the infantry, and it was indeed beyond William's expectation to fight to such an extent, especially the scene where the orcs appeared several times that they could not hold back the horses really made people look sideways.

Mo Cai is a little guy who doesn't like to be restrained. Compared with other Pegasus, this young pegasus who is only three years old is more lively and restless. William will accompany it to soar in the sky for a while every day for a walk.Especially when entering the city, William took this overly conspicuous little guy into the magic brooch specially prepared by Elastret, which made Mo Xiao even more dissatisfied. Playing crazy to appease it, but also fortunate to witness this very small conflict.

The battle under the city was over, William grinned slightly, stroked the mane of Mo Xiao's neck beside him, got on his horse and galloped away.Nesmai's cavalry began to clean up the battlefield, and the wounded soldiers were sent back to the city to be treated by priests, while the wounded horses were also taken away for treatment if they were slightly injured, and those who were seriously injured and could not recover could only be slaughtered.All orc corpses were thrown into the Surbrin River, with no prisoners or wounded, and the trophies captured were sorted.

To be honest, fighting the orcs is almost the most uneconomical thing, because ordinary orcs are too poor, and under normal circumstances, except for low-quality weapons and extremely rotten broken armor, most of them have nothing of value. Weapons can be recycled and re-smelted, but the tattered armor is basically useless and can only be discarded.However, one of the orcs contributed a special trophy, a little lion cub with a stupid head. It's strange that this little thing was not eaten as a snack by the orcs who have no taboos. The first discoverer unceremoniously put this The little things are kept for themselves.

The covetous companion smiled with jealousy: "Be careful that this guy turns into a 'child-eating monster', you may lose your life by then!"

The lion cub adopter curled his lips and said: "Haha! You are jealous. Since the vicious orc can take it in, of course I can too. Besides, the story of the 'child-eating monster' is a lie!" The petite lion cub The cub yawned lazily, his small appearance was so cute, no one noticed, a strange color flashed in his dark yellow pupils, and then he returned to his silly look.

It was already evening when William returned to his residence, and this dinner was still a [Heroes Feast], but in order to deceive the public, William ordered some more durable food in the hotel and put it in the space ring.

While helping the two little girls prepare vegetables, Yasuna asked, "What's the matter? It's so noisy outside today, maybe the orcs have arrived?" I don't know when, William felt that Yasuna became more and more "a good wife and a good woman." "Mother" demeanor (Yasuna's heart: Is it easy for me to find out the law of food enhancement? Look, there is even an extra wrinkle at the corner of the eye).

William forked a small piece of tenderloin and put it on Maomaoyu's snack plate, hummed and said: "It's just that a leading squad was strangled by cavalry outside the city not long ago. It's just that Yasuna, before I seem to have underestimated the orcs."

Yasuna snorted and said, "It's not that the orcs are powerful, but that humans are too weak. If it weren't for the fact that there are too many top human beings, and they have an absolute advantage in numbers, plus the support of the gods, this world would Where is it their turn to be arrogant!"

"Oh? Hehe! Yasuna, why are your words full of sourness?" William chewed a piece of fresh oyster carefully, squinting his eyes to feel the taste, "Xiaomi Luna, don't eat too much! Be careful At night, it attracts 'fear' again, that would be bad."

Xiao Mi Luna raised her small face when she heard the words, with a long piece of whale silk (a kind of whisker silk from an alien magic whale, which can be called a supreme delicacy) dangling in her small mouth, she blinked her big eyes, "Taste "Liu Liu" sucked the whale silk into his stomach, and babbled his little mouth: "Yi Yi Ya Ya" then buried his little head and continued to attack the delicious food on the plate.It is said that although this little girl ate the [Hero Feast] for the first time and caused a riot, but then somehow, as long as she didn't eat too much at one time, with the cover of Cole's horn, there was basically no serious problem.
