The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 179 Taking the Head of the Ten Thousand Armies

Some people say that the orcs are very brave, and they can charge to the death in the face of a strong enemy; others say that the orcs are cowardly, they can never survive a fierce battle to the end, even the strongest among them— —their leader, who often joins at the end of the battle, or is the first to flee.

When two evenly matched orc tribes fight, once the battle gets into a state of anxiety, the leaders of both sides can resolve the conflict through a duel, and the loser will lose everything, tribe, people, rights, weapons, and of course its life.However, when facing armies of other races, orcs rarely use this rule. They would rather run away and look for the next chance to win.Occasionally, an orc leader might play a trick in a winning situation for some rare pleasure, provided the opposing duelist is clearly not his match.

Originally, Nesmai, where most of the powerful fighters go out, is indeed more in line with the standards of alien duels (the strong bullying the weak). Garth has also had this idea, but he understands that with the "cunning and despicable" of human beings, he will definitely not agree , even if they really agree, they will never obediently abide by the subsequent defeat agreement, and they may even set up a conspiracy against themselves, so Gartner will not ask for trouble for nothing.

It's just that there was an accident in today's routine siege. The specially strengthened attacking team was driven down just after climbing the city wall.Because of the distance, Garth didn't see what happened on the city wall.It glared angrily at the poor wretches lying under it. They were covered in blood (either their own or those of their companions), out of breath, and half scared to death. Garth didn't even want to ask them. Cowardly escapers, cowards, and a few orcs who escaped before they even opened their mouths were angered and cut off their heads, and hung them on the top of the high leather tents for public display. As for their corpses, there will be only a few Wrappings for female orcs and young orcs.

Seeing that it was still early in the day, Garth's head still wanted to organize another attack, and its shaman consultant seemed to have several useless spell slots left, and Garth's head didn't want the old guy to have an easy life.When Garth was still selecting people, he found a human with a green oak leaf banner heading towards the orc camp.

There is no such thing as "playing the white flag" in Faerun, and it is replaced by the oak leaf symbol of Sivanus. In fact, Sivanus does not control the priesthood of "peace", but the real god of peace is his two gods. One of the daughters - Edas (the other daughter of Sivanus is the famous Queen of the Forest, Melika), because Edas's reputation is not outstanding, people are more willing to borrow the name of the powerful God of Nature.

Garth skull received the human envoy in his camp. It sat on a tall animal bone seat and looked down with great interest at the restless human beings trying to calm down: "Short-toothed human beings, come to the great What's the matter with the camp of Gatkuan?"

The messenger hastily lowered his head and said, "Brave and fearless king of orcs, I am under the order of Nesmai's councilor, Teshari Alarini, to represent us humans (he didn't know that the possible battler was actually a pure frost giant ) challenge you to settle this tragic dispute by duel."

"Duel? Hahaha! Human beings are qualified to duel with the mighty Garth. Your blood is only suitable for making the worst low-quality mugger, and your meat will become my lunch." Holding a wine vessel made of baby skulls, this is the last cup of "old elf sausage" preserved by the tribe (old elf sausage: a mug mead made of specially fermented honey and elf flesh, which is the origin of the orc favorite drink), he took a sip, the sweet and coppery smell so captivating to Garth, that he hoped there would be enough elves in Nesmy for his wives to brew.

After drinking all the wine in the glass, Garth smashed the wine vessel into pieces. He decided to have an "open-air barbecue". The material for the barbecue was the human messenger. The guys in the back, as smart as Garth, will never be fooled by human tricks.

Tesarui looked at the far away messenger with a complicated expression. It was one of her servants. She knew that if the challenge could not be achieved, this servant would also die. When she thought of sending him to the road of death with her own hands, Tessa An indelible guilt and anxiety arose in Rui's heart, and she could only pray that Gartner would agree to the duel, or give the messenger a decent death.

Sure enough, the situation was developing in the worst direction. Soon an orc messenger dragged the oak leaf banner held by the previous envoy to the city, threw the flag on the ground contemptuously and stomped a few times. Arrow, the dutiful orc orderly even wanted to piss on it.

And this is just the beginning, what happened next was even more unbearable. The poor human messenger was roughly stripped naked by the orcs, tied naked to a thick bracket, and piled up under the bracket. A mound of dry wood.An experienced female orc (cooking food is the specialty of female orcs) carried a small bucket of weird sauce, and carefully spread the "ingredients" all over her body, then she pulled out a slender branch, and viciously The whipped human body, a bright red bloodstain suddenly stood out, the poor guy couldn't help but let out a shrill and inhuman scream, he was almost frightened crazy.

Under the whipping of the female orc (according to experienced orcs, this can make the bloody smell of human flesh more fragrant and delicious), the human being who is about to face a tragic fate screamed hoarsely. In despair, he no longer had the desire to ask for help. Pointless venting of physical pain.The humans on the city wall looked at their fellow sufferers, either angry, sad, shocked, or indifferent, but the orcs guessed wrong. Although these humans may be temporarily frightened, their belief in guarding their homeland is even stronger. Strong, no one wants himself or his family to be the next person to be put on the orc barbecue.

William and the others who stayed not far away also noticed the change here. He walked to the battlement and glanced at the orcs: "Why, are you mistreating the prisoners?" Abuse is an extremely outrageous thing, unless these people are a bunch of perverts.

Yasuna, who is well aware of the orc's temperament, stepped forward and said to Tesari: "Seeing your subordinates suffer so much, are you not going to do something?" Tesari gritted his teeth but remained silent, his face pale sharp.

Yasuna, who felt a little self-inflicted, curled her lips, turned to William and said, "William, take the two children down, what's going to happen next is not a good thing, they won't be able to bear it."

"Huh?" William frowned and looked at the orcs ostentatiously outside the city. He turned his head and glanced at the two little girls following Finia's feet, and found that the little guys were indeed disturbed by the horrifying screams. , "Trouble, it's too late to leave now, if it's impossible, I'll go and help that poor guy out."

"In this case, wouldn't it be better to rescue them directly?"

William shook his head and said, "It's useless. That person is already crazy. For him, living is more painful. It's better to be dead than happy."

Yasuna pointed at Tesharui and the others and said, "But they don't think so. According to my suggestion, if you want to do something, you should save people directly, or it's best to let it go." She suddenly showed a smirk, "Of course, if you can just watch your own kind being eaten and remain indifferent."

"Dividing food? You mean...they want to eat people?" William couldn't help being shocked when he heard this. For a person like him who came from a different civilization, cannibalism of intelligent races is indeed a very nerve-challenging behavior.

Yasuna deliberately smiled and said: "This kind of live blood barbecue is the best among orcs. It is said that the best female orcs can keep the heat of the blood in the prey until the end without coagulation."
William said coldly: "Enough, what do you want to say?"

But Yasuna said in a concentrated voice as if she didn't answer the question: "William, you are the most mysterious human being I have ever seen. You are cautious, calm, and indifferent. , is there nothing on your mind? What is your purpose? Why do you exist? William, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young human being is not like you."

William's face couldn't help but gloomy. He stared into Yasuna's eyes and said indifferently, "So what?"

Yasuna sighed and said: "Don't you understand? It's your willingness to be ordinary that made Sister Alastrio very worried. As expected, the incident this time would not be possible without the person in Silvermoon City." Manipulation. William, everyone has selfishness and desires, if a powerful being behaves mediocrely, then he must have bigger plans."

What the hell!Lao Tzu hides his strengths and hides his secrets, and something goes wrong. Do I look sinister?Besides, I did a few sensational things a while ago, why do I think I am content to be ordinary.

At this time, there was another change on the side of the orcs. Garth and several leaders appeared outside the orc camp, and the firewood under the barbecue grill began to be lit. Misha, who was looking out from the battlement, seemed to be aware of it. What, she exclaimed and ran to William, hugging her brother's waist (the little girl has grown taller) and said gloomily, "William."

William glared at Yasuna with some resentment, lowered his head, touched the little girl's head and smiled, "Misha, don't worry, let's see my brother snatch that poor thing back." The corner of the little girl's mouth curled up, Squinting his big eyes to reveal a row of small white teeth.

Reciting the secret words, the brooched Mo Xiao suddenly appeared at the top of the city. It suddenly stood up, screamed excitedly, and spread its wings, carrying William, who had jumped on the horse, into the air.With one hand upside down, William shattered dreams, and with the other he grabbed Mo Xiao's iron-like mane, and shouted loudly: "Mo Xiao! Let's go!" He flew high into the sky under the amazed eyes of everyone.

There is a kind of induction similar to a magical contract between Pegasus and its master, so William and Mo Xiao can send some vague ideas to each other.When they turned into a blurred black spot in everyone's eyes, one person and one rider suddenly slid down rapidly, like eagles jumping on their prey on the ground, rushing straight towards the burning wooden frame.

With a light drag of Qiushui Knife on the wooden frame, the thick hemp mane rope and the wooden stake were directly cut open. William clamped the horse's belly with his legs, stretched his ape arms lightly, and instantly lifted the scarred human messenger to the ground. up.The two of them rode over the head of the orc like a big bird, and the hard and huge horseshoe stepped on the foreheads of several orcs one after another, including the female orc who was the cook. She was kicked until her head burst, and her brain was smashed to death.

Seeing that the "food" on their lips was being robbed, all the orcs, including Gatkuou, were furious, and threw their weapons at the Pegasus that was taking off. A powerful compound bow with an obvious elf-like style, unfurling the bow and nocking an arrow, shot at William on horseback.

William, who was extremely sensitive, waved his knife and swung his knife slightly backwards, sweeping away several incoming arrows. He smiled contemptuously at the noisy orcs behind him, and was about to return to the top of the city when he suddenly felt the Pegasus suddenly As soon as it sank, it fell down involuntarily. Even Mo Xiao flapped his wings desperately, but it was of no avail. Mo Xiao sent a spiritual idea saying that he had been hit by an air-forbidden spell.

William glanced at the crowd of orcs, and immediately found the orc shaman standing next to Gart's skull and casting spells, an old orc with a bent back. At this time, it was preparing to cast an offensive spell and wanted to give William A hard blow.With a cold snort, William slapped the struggling envoy unconscious and placed him on the horse's back. He reached out from his ring and took out a hard steel bow half a man's height and an iron plume steel arrow. The hundreds-pound fine steel bow was drawn into a full moon, and as soon as the fingers were loosened, there was a sound of "collapse--", the steel arrow instantly turned into black light, and shot through the ugly head of the orc shaman in the blink of an eye, and knocked out another person behind him. The armored orc shot straight through, and then the steel arrow pierced the ground without any feathers. Tesari, who was on the top of the wall, couldn't help but gasped: what a terrible archery technique!

William rode Mo Xiao, who was temporarily unable to lift into the air, and rushed to the base of the city wall, while the furious Garth head commanded all the orcs to come out, and surrounded William in a dense crowd. Garth head stood in the middle of the team and kept roaring. Said: "Kill him! Kill that damned human! I will make his head into a crackling drum, and I will beat it day and night!" Wicked instruments made of material)

Running to the bottom of the city wall, William grabbed the unconscious emissary and yelled and threw it upwards, directly throwing him to the top of the city.The people on the top of the city were all very pleasantly surprised. In Tesari, several priests were quickly appointed to treat the poor messenger, while a few well-meaning city guard soldiers threw down a rope and shouted loudly to William: "Be brave! Knights, please come up quickly, a large army of orcs is coming!"

William shook his head with a smile, and turned his horse's head to face the direction the orcs were coming from. In his eyes, the chaotic orc army was nothing but a mob.William was carrying a big bow, and the Autumn Water Broken Dream Knife was inserted in his waist with his left hand, and a two-foot-thick long spear was held in his right hand. He immediately stared at Gath, who was the obvious leader of the orc battle group, and shouted in a deep voice: "Drink! That ugly monster, I will take your head!"

After finishing speaking, William slammed his feet on the horse's belly, and Mo Zi let out a long hiss, and suddenly spread his hooves and rushed towards the battle formation of the orcs.With hoofs like the wind and horses like a dragon, the extremely strong Mo Zou increased his speed to the extreme almost instantly, and slammed head-on into the crowd of beasts brutally.William held the gun with both hands, holding the gun barrel in one hand and exerting strength in the other hand. When the body of the gun flicked, a burst of gun light shot out instantly.Due to the speed of the gun light is too fast, it looks like a huge and beautiful gun flower to the onlookers, but the orc in front of the gun flower only felt that the flower in front of him lost consciousness.

Mo Zou rampaged, William's big spear was stabbed with thorns, and the dark blue spear head flew up and down, left and right, and one person and one rider rushed to the center of the battle group without stagnation, leaving a bloody death tunnel behind. .The more he rushed to the middle, the denser the orcs became. William, who was gradually feeling some resistance, was very impatient. He took a deep breath, and shouted furiously with thunder on his tongue—[Soul Storm] was launched, and an invisible ripple centered on William The spread spread in an instant, and all the orcs affected fell to the ground with their heads in their arms in pain. The orcs closest to William even had their heads burst and died, and those a little further away were also dizzy and swollen.

William was well aware of the dominance of his own secret technique. Even though Mo Xiao was protected by a magic contract, he could hardly withstand the influence of [Soul Storm].He patted Mo Xiao on the forehead lightly, jumped off the horse with a quick push, put the zhanger iron gun back into his ring, drew out the saber with his right hand, and rushed towards Gat's head not far away with both feet.

Although Garth's head was also affected by [Soul Storm], but because he was wearing several magical armors that he had found hard to find, his resistance was indeed quite strong, and he stood up staggering not long after.But William had already charged forward with his saber in hand, and Garth, who was still somewhat handicapped, saw William's ferocious approach, so he had no choice but to activate his unique innate ability - [Frenzied Shoutout].

[Frenzied Shoutout] is the famous stunt of Gatkuan. It can send out an ear-shattering roar at the moment of madness. This roaring sound with spiritual attack will make the enemies around it stunned for a short time, and then Cooperating with the powerful power brought by madness, countless terrifying opponents have fallen under this stunt of Gart's head.

But today, Garth's unique skill is about to fail. The human beings in front of him are so hard-willed beyond imagination. This terrifying man who can almost resist a mage's [Frightening Technique] directly ignores the roar of [Frenzied Shouting] , the saber in his hand slashed across Gart's neck without hindrance, and the big head soared into the sky, and was immediately picked up by William in his hand, while the headless corpse struggled a few times, and stinky blood sprayed from the neck.

On that day, a former strong orc fell, and the king of orcs, Garth, who was rampant in the north, was killed under the city of Nesmai. The murderer, William, was a man riding a black Pegasus. ——Lao Ye's Chronicle of Events - Heroes
