The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 817 I Might Have Killed a Fake Boss ([-])
Mishen Beach, a marsh tidal flat overgrown with reeds and cattails.

But if a ship wants to cross Mishen Beach, it has to choose to enter at low tide, and walk slowly along the twists and turns of the waterway. When it reaches two-thirds of Mishen Beach, it has to stop the boat and wait for the sea to flow back into the Rees River. The tide rises, and then take advantage of the rising tide of the river to forcibly cross the remaining tidal flats, so that they can pass smoothly.

During the period of time when any ship is struggling in the Mystic Shoal, it is basically a nearly fixed live target, and it is also a real hunting ground for the swamp lizardmen to harvest their prey.

The swamp lizardmen are very smart. They will test the ships that are about to enter the net in the swamp area in front of the God's Beach. If the leader of the ship is a novice (killed by concentrated fire) and rushes into the God's Beach without thinking, then they will The ship will be harvested unceremoniously.

If the people on board are veterans (resisting concentrated fire), and the defense force is relatively strong, then when the ship enters the Mystery Beach, the Swamp Lizardman will only extort some supplies and let it go.

Of course, if the defense on the ship is relatively weak, the swamp lizardmen will still harvest their prey without hesitation.

There is one type of ship that the lizardmen cannot tolerate, and that is the scaleless and hairy land creatures on the passing boats that cause serious damage to the lizardmen.The swamp lizardmen of all tribes will unite, desperately round up these perpetrators, kill them in the most brutal way and sacrifice them to the god of the swamp lizardmen.

There is no doubt that the Chasing Spray has become a thorn in the side of the swamp lizardmen, a thorn in their flesh.

When the ship approached the range of Mishen Beach and the entrance could already be seen with the naked eye, William and his party saw circles of ferocious-looking marsh lizards standing on the side deck of the ship.

Without any scruple, they glanced at the Chasing Spray and the humans standing on the deck with cruel eyes, and then jumped into the tidal flat waterway to swim away.

Of course, it is possible to achieve things by relying on extraordinary power, but look at the circle of crooked melons and dates around the Moon Sea, who is willing to waste their precious spell slots and spell-casting materials for such irrelevant mundane things? Isn't it good to do research on towers and castles and play routines?

Although the story is rather ridiculous, William is really envious of that kind of talent that splits mountains and seas. Who doesn't practice martial arts without dreaming of martial arts and fairy tales!
Now that William has some capital, he feels that he should reproduce the ability to slash everything.

However, now that Captain Reddings' ship is responsible for more than 50 lives, and Ms. Hellen is entrusting him, how can he not make the most painful choice.

There are several gods related to the sea and navigation, the most famous of which is the goddess of the sea, Amberley, and of course, the god of sea battles Wilkul, whom William had just dealt with not long ago, and other gods related to the sea.

Will William need to fight the lizardmen?

It is also a good way to find a giant as a long-term worker, but it is a bit far away from the water and it is difficult to quench the thirst.

The amount of water in the Rees River is not small, and the area is wide enough, but the depth of the river bed is not enough. Large areas of tidal flats and swamps are simply a nightmare for boaters.

Not to mention self-serving evil wizards, not even Elminster would want to waste his spells clearing the way for profit-seeking merchants and rough sailors.

Bricks fly with great strength, and weapons are big... As long as the energy output can keep up, who can't split a river!
Open the gate of flames!

For Captain Hilgart Reddings, the decision to turn around and head back was a difficult one.

Summon the Cursed Phoenix!

Among all these gods, there are those who favor good and order, and those who favor evil or chaos, but without exception, they cannot tolerate any cowards who do not have enough courage to give up halfway on the voyage.

The Rees River connects the Sea of ​​Moon and the Sea of ​​Falling Stars, while the Taisha River, which originates from the Dagger Valley, flows into the Sea of ​​Moon, and the Asaba River, which also originates in the Valley of the Dagger, flows into the Sea of ​​Falling Stars around half of the valley.

The reconnaissance report from the Pegasus Knight stated that at least six to seven hundred adult swamp lizardmen gathered in Mishen Beach, and their figures were scattered all over the beaches and reeds in Mishen Beach, waiting to chase the arrival of the Spray .

Those who haven't seen William's real battle scene can't imagine how he will fight and defeat hundreds of swamp lizardmen waiting in full force.

It is not a good thing for a ship traveling in the waves to return halfway on the established route.This is not only reflected in the loss of ships or damage to reputation, but also has a deeper meaning.

After a little thought, William decided to use the least effective method.He still remembered that in his previous life, there was a rather outrageous animation, which belonged to Xiaojiaodan's family, and the people in it often cut the sea with a knife, and split the air with a sword.

To be honest, he really didn't need it. It could even be said that William didn't pay attention to these robbers blocking the way.

Captain Reddings bit his teeth and said to William: "Your Excellency William, maybe we should retreat! There are too many swamp reptiles, and it is difficult for us to survive their siege."

Faced with the news brought back by the Pegasus knights, most of the people on board turned pale.

He loves the ocean, is addicted to sailing, and is a born wave man.

William certainly doesn't know the taboos of sailing, but he can see the struggle in Captain Reddings' heart. William has never been a person who likes to force others to make things difficult for him. If he doesn't have to watch a good man waste his time there, how could it be me? The behavior of the people of the generation.

There are six or seven hundred adult swamp lizardmen, let alone in the swamp where the lizardmen occupy the home terrain advantage, even on ordinary flat ground, if human beings want to defeat them, they can't gather three to five hundred well-trained and brave people. Warriors are also uncertain.

If this string of water areas is completely and effectively connected, then the transportation of the entire valley will basically take shape.The Valley Kingdom that William is building has its own arteries, and he no longer has to worry about being played like a monkey by people (or gods) like Anka, the cloak king.

In the land of Faerun, it should be noted that groups of intelligent creatures are even more terrifying than the most ferocious monsters, even a group of goblins, because wisdom represents the unknown and accidents.

Now that the swamp lizards are occupying the Mishen Beach, if they go to war directly, even if they organize an army of 5000 humans, they will end in a disastrous defeat.

So William patted Captain Reddings on the shoulder, and said loudly: "No need to turn around! I'll clear the way for the big guys, you just need to go straight ahead at the maximum speed! It's just a group of crawlers in the mud! What's the matter?" worried!"

It needs to be added here that the situation of turning around and returning home for other reasons is not included.

That is to say, William, who has received nine years of compulsory education in his previous life, understands the underlying logic of civilization and society, and has a dragon-slaying outline, is willing to bend down and use his mighty power to build infrastructure.

William has many ways to dredge the Rees River. Among them, the most sound and light effect is undoubtedly the big mushroom card map editing technique, which is large and powerful, and can meet the needs of several aspects at a time.

Hilgert is very clear that his retreat will either bid farewell to the sea and linger on the land for the rest of his life, or he will completely return to the sea on the next voyage.

Even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire and raging wind and waves ahead, you can hide, avoid, and bravely rush in to fight to the death, but you can't turn around and retreat, otherwise you will definitely encounter bad luck and die the next time you sail.

Even if Elminster gets shot in the gut with a dagger or a crossbow bolt, he'll have to burp.

At this moment, not only Captain Reddings, but also all the sailors and guards, and everyone who didn't know William's true background all looked at him with a look of foolishness.

The more critical problem is that it is easy to take people and boats on one's side into it.

William didn't answer, because everyone knew that retreating was not a very good idea, unless it was the rainy season.

Two Pegasus knights rose into the air, relying on the advantage of flying to carry out aerial reconnaissance on Mishen Beach. Of course, the results brought back did not make people happy.

If you want to dig and dredge the Rees River, it is simply a fantasy to rely on manpower, not to mention that several nearby countries and city-states simply cannot gather such a huge manpower. Even if they can, they must have enough material resources and wisdom. Conquer this bend in the river.

What William really cared about was another matter, the navigability of the Rees River.

It's just that the power is a bit too much, and it's not very friendly to the surrounding flowers and plants. It is estimated that there will be some environmentalists who like to complain.

Of course, if you don't sail in the future, there is nothing to say, and the God who manages the ocean will naturally not come to land to trouble you.

Perhaps under certain conditions, a certain caster's spell can wipe out hundreds of people at once, but if he is really going to fight against hundreds of people, it is the wisest choice to run away in advance.

For example, due to some urgent or specific reasons, you have to return to the place of departure or the place of passage.Generally at this time, the operators of the entire ship (captain and sailors) have to offer sacrifices to the ocean gods they believe in through a specific ceremony in order to obtain the understanding of the gods.

Energize the whole body!

Standing on the figurehead at the bow of the ship, William held the Autumn Knife high. At this moment, he was like a small human-shaped sun, emitting a dazzling light enough to blind people's eyes!
Can really flash blind!Anyone who dares to peek will burst into tears!
William resisted the bursting energy overflowing in his body, and stood firm with T-steps, rooting the old tree, but the tens of tons of Chasing Spray leaned forward.

He opened his eyes wide with anger, poured all the energy in his body into Qiu Shui Knife, and shouted in a rather sloppy voice: "Rage Flame Breaks the Waves! Let me open it!"

Immediately swing the knife forward!
