The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 588 Forest Hunting
Of course, the refugees who just drank some porridge can’t help them. The soup can only temporarily guarantee that they will not starve to death immediately. People really don't have the strength to do manual work.

So if you want to open up the situation, William has to do it himself.

The outpost established by the Black Sword Legion could not accommodate these four hundred people, so William arranged a group of refugees in the open space on the west side of the outpost, that is, the side near the border forest. After all, he came all the way from the border forest. Yes, there shouldn't be much danger.

William left Phinea, Misha'er, and Miluna among the refugees, but he led a dozen armed men into the depths of the jungle to hunt enough food for the entire refugee team.

After William left, more than 20 armed men with real weapons, led by Phinia and the big bear Badal, entered the outpost. They had to guard against the enemies from the east. It's just around the corner.

Let’s talk about William, the hunting team of more than a dozen people he led was basically not ordinary people. Among them were three rangers, two druids, a powerful fighter named Baird (fourth-level fighter), two Thieves, the rest are hunters with hunting experience (can be regarded as trainee rangers who have not yet completed their full-time job).

Among these people, the proportion of professionals is relatively high, but except for Warrior Baird, they are basically rookie-level characters.The truly experienced guys were all left by William at the camp, after all, that was the focus of protection.

As far as the entire hunting team is concerned, it is actually enough to have him in charge of combat power.

Warrior Baird is one of the few personnel that William provides weapons and equipment. In fact, William's Fire Spirit Armband stores a large number of weapons and equipment, which are basically from his trophy collection.All the equipment that can be taken into William's fancy and collected are all precious boutiques.

The reason why he didn't distribute weapons and equipment on a large scale was not that William was stingy by nature, but that if the best weapons fell into the hands of people who couldn't use them, not only would the treasures be dusted, but tragic accidents would be more likely to cause harm to others and themselves.

Baird held a magic sword with a sharp magic effect in his hand, and the blade was carefully wrapped by a piece of animal skin.This sword, Baird can easily chop trees and stones with a single wave, as well as a sickle made of rough iron, and perhaps fine iron weapons and armor can also be split, but Baird is reluctant to test it.Naturally, such a good weapon should be cherished and used carefully. How can you just chop those hard bones when it is not necessary? Isn't that a waste of treasure?

Baird's other hand was holding a small stainless steel shield. His task during this hunting trip was very simple, to protect those rookie professionals and hunters as much as possible, and to protect them when William couldn't take care of them. It will not be killed by people or wild animals like a chicken.

In fact, what Baird desires more is to become William's guard, to become a loyal shield around the new lord.

The edge of the border forest was just like when William passed by before, except for plants and a few bugs, there was no living thing in the silence.William was extremely puzzled by this situation from the very beginning, but the druid in the hunting team solved the mystery for him.

Even the worst Druids can get the information they want from nature, whether it is [Natural Language], [Animal Talk] or [Plant Talk], Druids can obtain information powerful spell.

Of course, William and the others can't find local animals to obtain information for the time being, and the [Plant Talk] few rookie druids still can't master it. The only thing they can rely on is [Natural Language].

[Words of Nature] - Druid's introductory spell, you can get some simple information from the breeze, as if the wind element is whispering in your ears.A variant of this introductory spell is [North Pointing], which can point you to the north in any windy place.

"All animals, stay away from this area! Danger is coming! Follow the goblins to the depths of the forest! Hide!" This is the message the druids got from the wind.

Someone took away all the animals that could be used as food in this area in advance.

William felt that someone was trying to make things difficult for him on purpose, it was that little bastard who didn't want to mess around anymore!

In order to atone for his sins and feed the refugees in that camp, William dared to do anything, even if the gods came, they would never want to stop him.

With sincere perception as a guide, William can easily judge where to find more prey. He said to the members of the hunting team: "It seems that someone does not want us to get enough food! This kind of person is Our enemy! I want to go one step ahead to kill that enemy and hunt enough prey. You just follow up slowly, and I will leave a path mark for you."

After all, without waiting for a group of members of the hunting team to answer, he jumped out and jumped like a flea across the tree trunks in the dense forest. The crown of every tree he stepped on would collapse after William left. But he chopped off the tree trunk with a single knife.

Later, William got impatient with chopping, and directly mobilized the curse fire energy in his body, compressed it into the blade of Autumn Water Knife, and slashed out a terrifying [Fire Slash].

But I saw a terrifying flame blade of extreme compression sweeping across the jungle, cutting all the trees and weeds along the way into ashes, and after burning out a trail of ashes hundreds of meters long and more than ten meters wide, it immediately expanded Formed into an unstable flame, but was re-accommodated by the cursed fire.

Relying on his incomprehensible ability to control fire, William wiped out all the sparks on the ashes trail he opened up.He didn't want to cause another nightmare forest fire because of his mistakes, it was no different from cheating himself.

However, this way of opening the way is simply shocking. Whether it is the members of the hunting team behind, or some existence in the border forest that presides over the escape of animals, or some local snakes, they are all disturbed by this violent movement.

The fey creatures were the first to find William, but they didn't have the courage to approach, because the flame energy contained in [Fire Slash] was too terrifying. As elves who are extremely sensitive to elemental fluctuations, they were frightened and ran away , trying to stay away from where William is.

The petite Grey and Pixie ran around, the weak Nicky dived into the mud of the puddle and cried softly, and the beautiful Treant huddled in the trunk and shivered.

William opened the way fast, and it didn't take long for him to catch up with the migrating animals. A herd of migrating swollen deer became his first prey.

Out of respect for these prey that were about to feed the refugees, William didn't kill them with the autumn water knife, but changed to a more benevolent weapon-the throwing rope.

Because live prey can be kept for a longer period of time.
