The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 757 Invincible
The prophet of Gaoyue City, the spell advisor Rountitz, never expected that the giant leader who appeared in front of him was actually two human beings—Phenia sitting on the shoulder chariot was not tall, so the spell advisor didn't take the first look. Recognize Phinea as a half-giant.

This was very different from the meeting scene with the leader of the giants that Lauentates had envisioned.

There is a saying that traitors are more hateful than enemies!

In the eyes of Lauentates, William and his wife are traitors among human beings. They actually drove them to destroy human territory, which is simply bad.

The four cloud giant maids raised the shoulder chariot so that the chassis of the shoulder chariot was almost level with the highest point of the city wall, and William could stand on the shoulder chariot and look down at the mage advisor Loun Tates. Make the steps, walk up to the city wall and talk to the mage advisor face to face.

However, as a polite visitor, William chose the latter. He stepped down from the chariot step by step, walked to the top of the city wall, and looked at the angry Lauentates.

Lauentates glared at William angrily, and began to accuse: "Your Excellency, no matter why you came here, you should not instruct a group of giants to destroy the homes of ordinary people!"

William frowned, and said: "Old man! Since my giant servant entered the territory of the deep forest valley, he has not killed a human being, destroyed a house, or robbed a domestic animal! So for you I will never accept the accusation!"

Lauentates froze for a moment when he heard the words. He really hadn't checked how much damage these giants had caused. He just took it for granted that wherever giants appeared, destruction, looting, and death were inevitable.

Although Lauentates would not completely trust what the strange man in front of him said, he would not deceive himself in this regard, um, he should be an honest young man who is easy to dismiss.

The mage consultant quickly stabilized his mind, and then said: "Young boy. Even if you restrain these giants, the nature of giants is always cruel. You brought them near our human cities, but they are still a threat." what!"

William couldn't help laughing angrily when he heard the words, the old man was a little smug!Almost as hideous as old mage Elminster.

William laughed and said: "I came here to get some things, and I also want to say something to the people here, so that they can accept a fact. And these giants are used to ensure that no one will object when I take things, talk When people listen carefully, and willingly accept a fact."

Lauentates' complexion suddenly became ugly, and of course he understood the meaning of the person's words.

Lountitz gritted his teeth and asked, "Who are you? What do you want to get from us, and what do you want to say to the people here? What kind of facts do you accept?"

William sneered: "Old man! Who are you? Are you making decisions for everyone in this city?"

Lawn Taitz coughed a bit angrily, and then said: "I am the magic consultant of the legal lord of the deep forest valley, Selemen Ulas, and the owner of the tower of Law Entaiz. Although I cannot replace Lord Wulas to decide The fate of the whole city, but it still helps people make some promises."

William's heart was moved when he heard the words. He had heard from the old mage Elminster that Lauentates was the real backbone of the Deep Forest Valley and his most powerful helper in gaining the right to rule this place.

William said: "I am William, the current lord of Dagger Valley and Shadow Valley, and the future king of the Valley Kingdom. Now I want to conquer Deep Forest Valley and become the new owner here. Mr. Launtates, you and the people of this city are ready to How to choose? Surrender or resist?"

Lawn Taitz shuddered when he heard the words. As a senior participant in the mage gathering in the Sword Coast region, Lawn Taitz had a deep friendship with Elminster, the great sage of Shadow Valley. Of course he knew that there was a young The lord is rising in the north of the valley, and even two days ago he received a tip from the Harper Alliance that Shadow Valley has fallen, and.

Lauentates was worried about whether the expedition of his lord and student Lord Salmen Ullas was a well-designed hoax (Lauentates was Ullas' literary tutor).

Now, when William brought the giant army to his face, Lauentates finally felt hopeless. He knew that he was powerless to save the ending of Deep Forest Valley.

But the old mage consultant still has a chance to save the fate of his students.

Lauentates asked in a deep voice: "Your Excellency William, if we choose to resist, how will you treat the people in Deep Forest Valley?"

William said coldly: "Those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish. Anyone who resists being called a soldier under my rule will be killed. Of course, if there are people who do not want to be ruled by me, they can choose to leave early. It's not impossible to allow it. But there is a premise, before I enter the city's walls."

Lauentates couldn't help but sighed. The conditions William promised seemed benevolent, but the core was extremely cruel.To put it bluntly: If you don't want to join me, you can choose to leave, but if you dare to fight directly with force, then don't blame me for killing them all.

If this set of methods were placed in William's previous life's hometown, it would basically be a joke.

Who doesn't understand the principle of encircling three ques and one?

Attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the mind is the top, but who in the old family is not half a military strategist? !

That is to say, in Faerun, where the concept of war is relatively rough, William's little tricks may make people feel at a loss.

William said to Lowntaitz: "Old sir, I will give you and the people of this city a day to think about it. I will not set foot on the walls of this city until the sun rises tomorrow morning. But when When the sun rises, whether you choose war or immediately, I will not show mercy."

Lountitz said in a difficult way: "Your Excellency William, you have left us too little time. It is impossible for us to make a decision in such a short time. Please give us three more days!"

The old guy was still dishonest, William couldn't help laughing, and said: "There is no more time! Mr. Launtates, if it weren't for your relationship with the great sage Elminster, I wouldn't even have an hour I won’t let you stay either! If I directly order the cloud giants under my command to attack the city, how long do you think your city walls can last?”

How long can the walls of Gaoyue City last under the impact of more than [-] heavily armed cloud giants? In the eyes of the old mage consultant, let alone a day, as William said, it will not take an hour.Perhaps only one charge from the giants is needed before Gaoyue City will fall.

Without the regular army of the Sword of the Deep Forest Valley, relying on the lack of training of the militia alone, I am afraid that they will not even be able to stand firmly in front of two dozen giant invaders who are nearly twenty feet tall, let alone fight bravely.

After issuing the war ultimatum, William returned to the shoulder chariot, and was carried by the cloud giant's servants to an open space outside Gaoyue's city wall to set up camp, and the giant siege brigade also retreated.

For the purpose of training the team, William asked the cloud giant siege brigade and the frost giant cubs to cut wood and dig soil together to build a camp.This made all the giants a little uncomfortable. In the past, how could they be so particular about spending the night in the wild? !

Even for more experienced adventurers, it is nothing more than building a few more bonfires and making a few early warning traps.

It's a pity that William is the real talker, no matter what he says, the giants have to follow, and they have to implement it to the letter.

It has to be said that giants are good at engineering. Whether it is digging soil or cutting trees, their efficiency is not much inferior to those of William's previous life's construction machinery. Soon an unreasonable garrison camp was built.

Perhaps in the eyes of experts, the camp built by William and the others had many shortcomings, but no matter what, it provided a fairly stable camping place for everyone.

Wangwang's bonfire was lit, and William used the omnipotent magic bit to open the cold demiplane of Kaoyi, and brought out a lot of huge beef and a lot of delicious wine from it.

For most giants, starvation is a survival instinct.Even if it is a cloud giant who is wise enough and powerful enough, it is very common for him to be hungry and full on weekdays. Being able to eat large pieces of meat and drink in large bowls is definitely a fairy-like day for any giant. It would be impossible for someone to exchange the throne of a giant.

This is the status quo of the race of giants. Under the premise of not having enough to eat, all ambitions and dreams are just vain.

There is a good saying: Giants will never be slaves unless they are in charge of food and shelter.As long as the food is good enough, goblins can also be employers.If you don’t believe me, look at the ogres. As a member of the giant species, they are often abducted by goblins with food and used as thugs.

When night fell, all the giants were sitting around the bonfire, each holding a half-roasted half-baked ox shelf, gnawing extremely vigorously. Among them, the few cloud giants who performed better during the day were still eating. Each received half a barrel of fine wine as a reward.

What kind of cloud giant is considered a good performer?Of course, it is a giant that can execute William's orders as reliably as possible. It should be noted that giants are huge in size and crude in nature. Even the smarter cloud giants will inevitably violate William's orders intentionally or unintentionally during the course of action.

For example, when they see wild animals or livestock raised by farmers halfway, they always want to hunt or plunder something to feed themselves; when they encounter farmland and wheat fields, giants always want to live in these neat looking places. Rolling and playing on the "flat ground"; seeing a human house, I always want to play with "building blocks" like a bear child...

There are countless similar situations. If William didn't insist on suppressing them, the entire deep forest valley would have been tossed into ruins by these giants.

To be honest, what William said to Lountetz on the city wall was similar to what Qiu did not commit, and there was a lot of water in it, but William made some compensation to those victims afterwards.

For how to control giants, William has some experience, after all, he knows a lot about giants.Whether it's the frost giant on the Spine of the World, the frost giant in the abyss, or the cloud giant on Thunder Peak, William discovered a lot of things after touching them.

In the eyes of ordinary people, giants are subject to strength and might.In fact, this is right or wrong. Giants obey the strong, but there must be a premise that they cannot go hungry.

The starving giant disowns all his relatives.

So William wanted to gather these cloud giants for his own drive. Although powerful power was essential, the more important thing was to feed these big guys.

Take the four female cloud giants carrying shoulder chariots as an example. They were once the relatives of the wives and concubines of the leader of the cloud giant tribe.Normally, not to mention being William's servant, it's good not to directly attack and kill his big enemy.

But when William promised them to eat meat every day, and the four of them could share a barrel of fine wine as a reward for the meal, all the female cloud giants almost stopped killing each other, and even the serious male cloud giants were a little bit ready to move .

Therefore, even if the giants occasionally made some small mistakes, William did not dare to deduct their stutter at will. These guys really dared to rebel for a stutter.

And fine wine, which can only be regarded as a luxury, has become a sharp weapon for William to train these big men.

A dinner was not peaceful, and many cloud giants who did not get a share of the wine could not restrain their greed, and always wanted to snatch it from those lucky guys according to their old habits, and then these unruly guys It was strongly suppressed by William.

After a meal, all the cloud giants finally fully realized that their little human leader was the most powerful of them all.

Have you ever seen a little human being can beat a cloud giant like a rush?Have you ever seen a human who can break the arm of a cloud giant with one punch, and kick a cloud giant that weighs nearly a ton with one kick?

The shy cloud giant next to William can tell you secretly with certainty that they have seen and felt it with their own eyes.

No matter how William and his giants frolicked in the camp, when the sun was about to rise the next day, all the giants had already stood in front of the walls of High Moon City.

Strangely, there were no defenders on the walls of Gaoyue City, and the whole city was so quiet that it was a bit confusing.

William looked at Dongfang's already exposed sun face, waved his hand and said, "Break through the city wall! Let's enter the city!"

But seeing the two tallest and strongest cloud giants swinging a giant hammer each, they slammed at the nearly six-meter-high gate wall of Gaoyue City, and with a few loud noises, the city wall was smashed open. The door was shattered into pieces of wood all over the floor.

The streets of Gaoyue City are not narrow, but Yiyun giants can only walk in single file, but if there are more than one parallel, they may bump into the buildings on the side of the road.

This also means that it is inconvenient for a huge four-person carriage to enter the city, but William is not a person who always shows off his prestige and pomp, and he is not a faint emperor.

So the shoulder chariot was left on the city wall, but William walked on the streets of Gaoyue City with everyone.

In the Moonrise Tower, the black-walled castle belonging to the lord of the Deep Forest Valley, the old mage advisor, Lauentates, was arguing with a group of high-level figures in Gaoyue City. , Most of the time he can only act as a listener, and the real debaters are the high-ranking priests from the Leaf of Study, the representatives of the farmers and the officials of the city council.

In fact, most people don't agree to surrender directly. Although they are afraid of giants, they haven't really faced them in person after all. These people still want to fight to preserve their wealth and status.

Just accompanied by the sound of rumbling footsteps, although these debaters did not see it with their own eyes, they immediately understood the fact that the giant had entered the city.

Then, when the roof of the Moonrise Tower was lifted by several giants, everyone, even the most rebellious ones, were scared.
