The Swordsman of Faerûn

Uncovered, starved, yellow and thin, haggard, these adjectives are mostly used to describe refugees, but now William thinks it is very appropriate to put them on the survivors of Yulas.

Most of the survivors of Yulas are underage children and women, and there are even less than 100 middle-aged men and women who are properly beaten. This is very abnormal for a human group living in a harsh environment.

Generally speaking, for a group whose surrounding environment is too harsh, in order to obtain the greatest chance of survival, its personnel composition should give priority to survival and production capacity.

However, William realized after in-depth understanding that the reason for the misery of the survivors in the wilderness of Yulas is that a considerable number of children will choose to leave after they grow up to have a certain ability to survive.

Another source of danger threatening the survivors of Yurath comes from the cults in the ruins of Yurath.

Just four years ago, the last fortress of the Yulas people in Yulas City——the castle defended by the Yulas city defense regiment close to Zhentil Castle was broken by the cultists in desperation, and some Large numbers of adult male and female captives were killed as sacrifices to the evil gods.

In order to obtain a better population, these cultists even send those children who are not able to survive to the settlements of the Yulas survivors in the wilderness to supplement the population of the wilderness survivors to maintain a harvestable population.

Of course, the daily loss rate of the survivors in the Yulas wilderness is also a high factor, which is related to the lack of various production and living tools for the local people.

After seeing the generosity of William and his party, these wilderness survivors expressed their intention to serve William with little hesitation, just like Diludo Kuran and others. Among the unmarried girls, the two most beautiful ones were selected and sent to William's side after being washed for nothing.

Although the looks of the two girls sent by them were of ordinary village girl level, and their small stature was not even as tall as Misha's, William did not directly refuse, but took them in as his maids.

For these two girls who could only be regarded as children, staying with William as a maid was at least a good way out, and it was much more promising than staying in a poor village as a reproductive tool.

If William refuses to accept these two "gifts", it will not only kill their chance to change their destiny, but also make those survivors in the wilderness who have been suffering in nightmares feel uneasy.

No matter how kind William was and how sweetly he spoke, it couldn't change these people's self-paranoid cognition.

And when William showed his willingness to accept their offerings and gifts, these suffering survivors could finally enjoy the assistance from the devotees with peace of mind.

William was known to be a wealthy and generous man, he even owned a world.When he decided to aid the survivors of Yulas, it was easy for him to take out the aid materials that were difficult for others to gather.

Metal products made of the best steel and even magic alloys, including all kinds of knives, logging axes, pots and pans, weapons and armor crafted with precision, and even many of them are made by the flame dwarf masters.

Even the most indispensable food was continuously transported here from the distant mountain city.

Thirty of the strongest and most experienced survivors of Yuras were organized to form a special team for clearing the ruins. They will be mixed with William's guards to act as a team to clean up the ruins of Yuras. main force.

There are also some people with strong working ability who are incorporated into the auxiliary team. Their main tasks are to help the main battle group transport supplies, treat and transport the wounded, clean up the battlefield, search and clear the ruins and so on.

And this is William's consistent approach. Everywhere he goes, he will organize manpower as much as possible, build a team, and give full play to the fighting or production potential of the locals.

Don't look at the tricks as old-fashioned, but it's really easy to use.

Just like the survivors of Yulas, when the first batch of grain from the distant mountain city arrived at the outskirts of the ruins of Yulas, the fighting spirit and enthusiasm of the survivors of Yulas almost ignited like a flame.

William organized his subordinates to build a camp with complete defense facilities on a high ground outside the ruins of Yulas, as a frontier fortress for their attack on the ruins of Yulas, and almost all the survivors of Yulas were moved here by him. Centralized management in the camp.

Sufficient food, perfect defense, and the sense of security brought by this camp have made almost all Yulas survivors become William's diehards. For a long time, I stopped clamoring to rebuild the city-state of Yulas.

The resettlement of the survivors of Yulas almost made William forget his original intention of coming here. It was not until a group of reckless cultists rushed out of the ruins of Yulas that William realized the significance of this trip to Yulas.

The cultists of Yulas are divided into many factions, including the terrestrial remnants of the corrupt god Moander, the undead servants of the evil Lord of Bones, and the demagogues of some outsiders.

These evil existences entrenched in the abandoned city of Yuras and became the actual controllers of this land. Even the outpost soldiers sent here by Zhentil Castle had to act according to their faces.

Apparently, William's large-scale construction of a camp not far from the ruins of the old city of Yuras was not allowed by the cultists. After gathering enough manpower and material resources in the camp, they will be thrown away in one pot to reap the most luscious fruits.

The first wave of attacks on William's camp was a group of local creatures bewitched by demons and strange monsters from other worlds, including goblins, ogres, some orcs, and mindless humans. , shadow giant spiders, chokers and other evil monsters.

In fact, these monsters did not pose much challenge to the camp's defensive facilities. After all, although the camp's defensive buildings are simple, people's defensive weapons are sharp enough, even if the armored monster is covered with a carapace comparable to fine steel armor. The monsters even can't stop the triangular pyramid arrow made of fire copper steel.

And sufficient arrow reserves allow the rangers and archers in the camp to shoot and shoot as much as they want.

So the first wave of offensive from the cultists was repelled with almost no effort.This victory almost made all the survivors of Yulas couldn't help cheering, and even a large part of them burst into tears. Without him, they were suppressed too hard by evil monsters in the past.

After repelling the first wave of monsters, William didn't want to wait for the enemy's next attack. He wanted to launch a counter-surprise attack against the monsters in the ruins to wipe out the enemy's vital forces as much as possible.

Most people have no objection to this, but many local people who know the situation in the city have put forward different opinions on the selection of targets for the anti-raid.

Some people hope that William can lead people to counterattack the former Yulas City trade area, which has the most abundant resources and wealth in the entire ruins. As long as they capture it, they can harvest a batch of valuable spoils.

There are also people who hope to attack certain temples, they hope to rebuild the local Good God Church, and provide religious comfort for people's lonely and bitter hearts.

Some people even hope that William can lead people to capture the original castle of Lord Yuras, where the outpost troops of Zhentil Castle are currently stationed.The rationale is that the lord's fortress is stronger, and if people can enter that castle, the security will be improved even more.

William was quite speechless about this, and Ma Di probably thought the same way back then!I was so stupid that I sent the three or four hundred people in my family into the Jedi as targets.
