The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 765

Misty Valley has the potential to become the overlord of the valley, but no one will worry about the emergence of the next Cloak King or Lashan King in Misty Valley, because this city-state, like Sembia, is more advocating for business.

Even compared to the bandit mentality of the Sambians, who would engage in aggressive wars or subversive actions from time to time in order to open up trade routes, to show off their fangs and harvest a wave of leeks, the people of Misty Valley wanted a group of Small traders with no ambitions.

Even though Misty Valley has the first-class cavalry troops in the valley, they never thought of attacking the city and occupying the land to enclose the circle of influence, but only wanted to protect their own one-acre three-point land.

The reason for Misty Valley's lack of progress is precisely due to the political situation of Misty Valley.Everyone knows that Misty Valley has a six-member council with the highest decision-making power.

It's just that the six elected councilors care more about the votes in the hands of the citizens than about the future of the entire Misty Valley. In order not to be affected by some unexpected events, they will even deliberately elect the first Seven Misty Valley people acted as the supreme councilor, and the supreme councilor was responsible for handling all the daily affairs of Misty Valley.

Obviously, when some kind of accident that is not friendly to the people of Misty Valley happens in Misty Valley or other places, this Supreme Councilor is the best scapegoat and blame.

For example, the current Supreme Councilor, the elder Boros from the Habershield family, faced unfriendly accusations.

Boros Habershield is an outstanding warrior and an outstanding cavalry commander. It was he who led the invincible knights in Misty Valley to defeat King Lashan's main bodyguard on the battlefield two years ago, making a contribution to the victory of the entire battle. Made an outstanding contribution.

At that time, the people of Misty Valley needed a strong commander, and Boros Habershield became the Supreme Councilor of Misty Valley before the battle started.

But when the war was won, Boros, who had grabbed a lot of fame and reputation from the battlefield, became a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the other six elected members.Then the glorious commander suddenly found himself in a kind of helpless situation on his own territory, and many famous people began to criticize him, thinking that he was useless in governing the city and serving the people except for fighting (something like The plot of William’s previous life also appeared in the world of William’s previous life, such as a certain Fatty Qiu who likes to gesture).

After more than a year of fermentation in this unique political atmosphere, Boros has almost lost control of the city-state, and even his most loyal cavalry unit has begun to oppose him, which makes the old Boros who has been struggling Ross fell into complete despair.

The ashen-hearted old Boros is ready to seek eternal relief to get rid of this hopeless world.Who would have thought that a sudden change would give Boros Habershield a chance of survival.

An army from neighbors to the north suddenly broke into the Misty Valley, and showed a more dangerous tendency.

The Supreme Councilor, who was almost under house arrest, was invited back into the Cavalry Battalion of the Misty Valley Knights.And few people know that if the person who "invites" the cavalry commander is a few minutes late, what they invite will only be a cold corpse.

And Jie'er Liangge was one of the few insiders. She once personally visited the desperate old man, and tried to use her singing to soothe the dead heart of old Boros.

Unfortunately, singing is not everything.

Jie'er Liangge told William almost everything about the internal situation of Misty Valley, but it gave him a deeper understanding of Misty Valley and gave him new expectations for the difficulty of conquering Misty Valley.

In other words, Misty Valley is in the throes of the last war, political chaos, military weakness, high-level intrigue, and is committed to eliminating the influence of those who fought against King Rashan.

For example, the cavalry that was sent to the Shadow Valley some time ago to support them was the true direct descendant of the current Supreme Councilor of the Misty Valley, Boros Habershield, and was led by his eldest son Weslivers Habershield himself. It is also the last minion of the old Boros.

Obviously, the council of six in Misty Valley played a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, but it was a pity that it was convenient for William.

After gaining a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of all aspects of Misty Valley, William immediately made a plan to clear the Misty Valley.

In order to defeat and subdue Misty Valley, two things need to be done. The first is to control the only place where the resistance force in Misty Valley is now - the Misty Knight training camp. Sitting in the camp.

The other one is to cut off the Council of Six and get rid of the real ruler of Misty Valley.

As for the remaining public security management issues, a small city-state with a population of only [-] people is at most the size of a small town in William's previous life. To be honest, William didn't let such a big thing go. in the eyes.

The problem facing William now is how to allocate his troops.

It should be noted that there are only less than 300 mixed troops in the expeditionary army barracks outside Ashaban Beach at this moment. This temporary army composed of people from Dagger Valley and Shadow Valley is not an exaggeration to be judged as a mob.

Although the individual combat power of these soldiers is not weak, especially those from the Shadow Valley, they are basically elite fighters from the previous generation of lords, but now they have passively changed their new masters, and their morale has inevitably increased. decline in magnitude.

In particular, these people have fought side by side with the knights of Misty Valley, and they still have an inseparable friendship. If they alone fight against the knights of Misty Valley, it may not be impossible to mutiny or even turn against each other on the spot.

Obviously using them to deal with the Mist Knight training camp is not a wise choice.

The sergeants from Dagger Valley are the backbone of this army. There is no need to doubt their loyalty to William. It is because of these loyal soldiers that William dared to put Misha and other three little girls here. .

By the way, before William left, the only order William gave to the sergeants in Dagger Valley was to protect the three little girls. As for the so-called conquest of Misty Valley, it was simply an excuse to fool people and ghosts.

It's just that there are not many loyal fighters from Dagger Valley, and their individual combat power is a bit worrying. If these partners with more than loyalty and insufficient strength are really allowed to fight against the cavalry in Misty Valley, the damage will definitely make William feel distressed. twitch.

Therefore, after only three seconds of consideration, William made a decision that was beyond everyone's expectations. He wanted to take care of the cavalry camp in Misty Valley alone, and the large troops of the expeditionary force followed the people who brought their own dry food. Guide Ms. Jieer Liangsong to strangle the Council of Six in Misty Valley.

There is a very interesting tradition in Misty Valley, that is, their governing body does not have a fixed office location, and there is no lord's castle or town hall that is more common in other valley city-states.

The office of the six-member council in Misty Valley was in Habershield's White Hart Hotel, which was managed by the second son of the old Boros, Holfast Habershield.

However, the office of the council of six has been transferred to another place now, that is, Jieer Liangge has been paying more attention to the situation in Misty Valley, so he knows the inside story.

The most powerful businessman in Misty Valley is a man named Haresc Malone, who has the most luxurious house in the entire Misty Valley and a good reputation.

Almost everyone knows that Haresque is the candidate for the next Supreme Councilor, as determined by the six councilors, but few people know that Haresque Malone has already begun to exercise part of the powers of the Supreme Councilor, because the six councilors Six members of parliament have moved into his luxurious mansion, using it as their new office.

The good news is that Haresker's mansion is not in the bustling area of ​​Ashaban Beach, but in the southernmost part of the town, surrounded by two dense forests, which allows William's army to approach there silently and initiate Unpredictable raids.

Jieer Liangge was a little worried about William's plan, but of course she wasn't worried about her own actions. In fact, whether it was the six councilors or the businessman Haresc Malone, Ms. Liangge would not have anything to do with them. fear.What she worries about is whether William can deal with the real Supreme Councilor, the invincible commander Boros Habershield.

However, William's decision has been made, and no one else can change it.

William spent a day cleaning up the morale of the army. In fact, the moment he appeared in front of everyone, the morale of the soldiers from Dagger Valley was already infinitely high.In their view, there is no enemy in this world that William cannot defeat, and there is no problem that William cannot solve.

And the soldiers from Shadow Valley recalled the days when they were dominated by this devil-like man, and the pettiness in their hearts dissipated almost immediately, and the little tails raised in front of the chief of Dagger Valley were silent. drooped down.

It was another early morning, and William Gu straddled his knife and picked up his gun, and walked to the gate of the cavalry camp located in the northern suburb of Ashabantan Town.

This is a huge racecourse surrounded by log fences, with large stables that can accommodate hundreds of horses, and a flat martial arts arena. Of course, it is not called a martial arts arena in the valley, but a meeting square.

Dozens of rows of barracks also made of logs could provide accommodation for nearly a thousand soldiers in its heyday, but now even one-third of the space is not full.

William looked at the checkpoint in front of the gate of the camp, but he didn't find any guards on duty, but an old man with white beard and hair was dragging a lance there in a daze.

William approached with great interest and looked at each other with a smile.

And the old man didn't seem to notice that someone was approaching, he just squinted his eyes halfway there, and there was almost no trace of life in the cloudy eyes.

However, William knew that the old man's obliviousness was just an illusion. Under the old guy's sluggish and harmless appearance, there was hidden a strong fighting spirit with exuberant vitality, keen perception, and hidden fighting spirit. scholar.

William just looked at the old man, but the old man remained silent and motionless.

The two of them had been in a stalemate for a long time, and William had nothing to do with it, while the old man's back was getting wet, and a pair of slightly pointed ears were trembling a little.

Suddenly, there was a sound of wings beating the air in the air. William casually looked up, and then waved in the air, only to see the Pegasus Mo Xiao, carrying three little girls on his back, carefully falling down. .

But these three little guys just finished their morning class and came here specially to watch the excitement.

However, after William turned his attention away, the old man dragging his lance could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling quite relieved.

After taking a few breaths, the old man couldn't help asking, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

William didn't answer directly, but asked himself: "Old man, besides you, are there any decent people here?"

Hearing this, the old man opened his cloudy eyes suddenly, but a gleam of light flashed, but it quickly disappeared into the invisible.But he saw that he seemed to be struggling to close his lance, and said weakly: "Except for such a waste as the old man in the camp, the rest are all good men out of a hundred."

William nodded in disappointment and said, "Really? It turns out that apart from you, the old man, the rest are a bunch of trash! It's a pity, I wanted to pick up some good stuff at first!"

The old man opened his eyes wide and said angrily, "Young man, I can't pretend that I didn't hear what you said! Besides, didn't you hear what I just said? There are a group of good boys living in the camp!"

However, William waved to the three little girls who approached him, and asked them to pay respects to the old man with the gun.The three of Misha'er didn't hesitate, they lined up in a row, and bowed to the old man with fists folded.

The old man has never seen such a situation before, especially the etiquette practiced by Sanxiao is unheard of, but even a fool can feel that there is a very solemn respect in it, this sudden scene made the old man feel at a loss for a while .

To make a digression, the most etiquette race recognized in Faerun is the elves. The etiquette of the elves is gorgeous and complicated. Generally speaking, it is difficult for foreigners without any elf culture to remember and understand the various etiquette routines of the elves. of.

For example, when an elf uses etiquette to express respect to a person, he (she) will make a series of more complicated gestures. If you don’t know enough about elves’ thanks, you won’t know what the other person is doing at all. Maybe he thought the elf was having a cramp in his arm.

William brought some ancient ceremonies from his hometown in his previous life to Faerun, and he taught them to Misha and the others. He planned to implement them in his own kingdom after the valley was unified. Maybe he would also learn from the ancestor dragon emperor, play Play the game of "books with the same text, cars with the same track".

Closer to home, the old man who guarded the gate at the entrance of the cavalry camp was a little flustered when he was worshiped by the three little girls. Of course, it wasn't that he felt that he couldn't bear the greetings of the three girls, but that he couldn't guess what William was thinking.

But one thing the old man knew very well was that the young man who appeared at the gate of the camp early in the morning had some malicious intentions.

So the old man asked a little uneasy: "Young man, what do you want to do?"

William gave a slight hint, and he stopped being a joke, and said directly: "Old man, I am the leader of the expedition camp over there, and now my people are going to do some things in the town. Before they finish their work, I need you and Those cavalrymen of yours stay in the camp well. Well, they are not allowed to go anywhere!"

The old man looked William from head to toe in surprise, and said, "Only you? Young man! Do you know that there are at least 200 cavalry reserves living in the camp, even if their skills and combat skills are a bit poor? , but it’s not something you can fight alone.”
