The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 176
The invasion of a large group of orcs is an extremely fatal thing for a city without foreign aid. Although the orcs are not very good at siege technology, they have enough patience. Even if the city walls are strong enough, or the defenders run out of ammunition And if the city is destroyed, or the orcs eat up everything that can be eaten within dozens of miles around the city, they are forced to retreat.Therefore, even if the orcs failed to attack the city and retreated, the surrounding area of ​​the city would still be completely dead, and it would not be able to recover within a few years.

Therefore, Nesma has encountered trouble, a big trouble, if this trouble is not resolved quickly, not only will the trade revenue this year be greatly reduced, but other losses will be even more difficult to count, but now the leaders of this city are helpless, because now They didn't have enough troops to fight back, and the temporarily recruited soldiers could only guard the city walls, and if they really wanted to go out to fight in the field, they were purely to deliver food to the orcs (orcs eat human flesh).

"Tesarui, when will the team going to Yata come back?" In a quiet room, the two powerful leaders of Nesmai were speaking alone.Although in formal occasions, the priest faction represented by Jigli Zenasa, the chief speaker of the city council, and the mage faction represented by the female mage Tesari "Long Hair" Alaraini always have different opinions. The author even always claimed that the priest should not interfere in any political affairs, but in fact the two were very close allies.

The so-called "Zigeli needed Teresa's help when the city was attacked, and the storm summoned by the female mage played a vital role in defeating the attack of the orc horde. The two women kept each other Reluctant homage, so they abide by an armed truce between themselves in the Senate" is purely a cover-up.

The long-haired female mage Tesari said angrily: "It will take a week (ten days) at the earliest. Jigli, I have already said that it is best to keep the filth among the gods to a minimum, but you are Don’t listen, this is great. If you didn’t send Kux and the others out, why would you let a damned violent giant baboon sneak into the city and make such a big mess!”
The senior priestess Jigli with a haggard complexion sighed, and said, "Okay, Tesari, I was wrong. But it's too late to say anything now, and you know the current situation. After a long winter, we I can’t wait for Cooks and the others to come back, there’s no other way, Alarini, please ask for foreign aid!”

"Ask for foreign aid, to whom? Are you talking about that shameless Elastor? Never! I will never ask her for help! I..." When it came to asking for help, Tesari suddenly became agitated , with a high-pitched voice, like a little slut who was pinched hard on the ass on a crowded bus.

"That's enough, Tesari! Don't be self-willed, okay? Alustri was very dissatisfied with the aid to Mithril Hall last time. This time, Tesari, admit your mistake to her, and only you can speak, Silver Moon Only the reinforcements from the city will rush over at the fastest speed." At this moment, Ji Geli's expression became surprisingly dignified, she stared coldly at the flustered female mage, and soon her eyes softened again.

Tesari's face changed drastically for quite a while, before she said a little coyly: "Okay, I'll just say it. But I'm not willing to bow my head, I'm for the whole Nesmi, me, me. I don't guarantee that she will agree to send troops."

Not long after, the female mage came out of the magic communication room with a strange expression on her face. Jigli rushed up to meet her and asked full of hope, "How is it? Did Ms. Guanghui agree to send troops when?" shook his head.

"What? She didn't agree?" Jigli's complexion suddenly changed, and her speech was a little awkward.

But Tesari still shook her head, and Jigli said angrily: "You damn woman, talk! Did Alastriol agree to it?" Teresa smiled at her friend, showing a strange look, Then he walked out without saying a word.

Jigli was almost pissed off, and she chased after her and shouted, "You, you, don't go, even if you're flirting, give me a promise first."

In the old wooden hotel in Nesmai, William was drinking tea with his family. Due to the threat of orcs outside the city and the riot of giant baboons two days ago, everyone in the whole city was in danger. The number of guests is correspondingly pitiful, so William's family, big and small, is particularly eye-catching.

It was said to be drinking afternoon tea, but in fact the whole family was bored, sitting together in a daze to pass the time, Yasuna blew bubbles into the teacup like a naughty child, and Finya continued to play with her Thunder Cream as if she never got bored. , the two little guys were laughing and teasing the cat and cat worm in snow-white wool satin. The poor little thing couldn't even take a nap, so he could only grin his teeth and make a solemn protest to the perpetrator of the "bad personality".

The door of the hotel was pushed open from the outside. The weather in the Northland was still a bit cold at this time. A gust of cool air blew in along the door of the hotel. The drowsy clerk leaning on the counter shivered involuntarily. He shrank his head and wanted to continue to take a nap, but suddenly he jumped up with a jerk and stared straight at the guests who came in.

William knew all the people who came, and the first one was the captain of the "Sir Henry", Eric Morgan. The two women behind him were the two who showed great power against the rampaging giant baboon that night, and they were also Nesmy's. The two chiefs, Jigli? Zenasa and Tesari? "Long Hair"? Alarini, but I don't know what these two people are doing here, I hope they are not here for themselves.

As the saying goes, good spirits don't work bad spirits, William's mind was spinning, but the three of them walked straight to the table where he was.Morgan, who was walking in the front, had a trace of inexplicable panic hidden on his slightly respectful face, but he concealed it very well. If William's intuition hadn't become more and more acute recently, it would have been difficult to detect; With a mysterious smile, Jigli at the end is full of helplessness and suspicion. She is always suspicious of Tesari's decision.

Coming closer, Tesari looked at the table with interest for a while, with a puzzled look on his face: "Excuse me, who is William? Who is Yasuna?" No one answered, and William leaned on the Closed eyes rested on the chair, Yasuna continued to blow bubbles, Finya continued to play with her axe, the two little girls looked up, maybe they felt that the other party was not as attractive as cats and cats, the two little girls The guy lowered his head and continued to play with the furious cat.

In the cold scene, Tesari, who had eaten a "cold pancake", was a little embarrassed, and Morgan, who was next to him, hurried forward to save the scene, and he forced a smile on his face: "Hehe, Mr. William, these two are the leaders of Nesmy, Ms. Tesari, the Senate officer, and Mrs. Gigli, the chief speaker, continued to be silent.

After a long time, William opened his eyes and asked, "Captain Morgan, what is your business with us? Is the 'Sir Henry' ready to sail?"

Morgan couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Mr. William, this"

Tesari interjected: "Until the orcs retreat, all ships will remain requisitioned, including the 'Sir Henry'!"
"Oh! In that case, Captain Morgan, when the 'Sir Henry' is ready to sail, just send someone to let me know. If there is nothing wrong, please don't disturb our tea time." William looked extremely embarrassed, at least The faces of the two uninvited guests have changed.
