The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 779 Covering the Battlefield ([-])

The geographical location of Heiyuqiao Village is really good. Any army that wants to camp near Dunqiu Ferry will basically regard Heiyuqiao Village as the first choice, especially at this time when there is no one in Heiyuqiao Village , the residents don't even need the permission of the host family, they can live in it swaggeringly.

For example, the cavalry of Tempus, which was forced by William to cross the river, was a mercenary regiment affiliated with [Steel Fang], one of the two major religious organizations that believed in Tempus (the information came from the confession of the captives).

Speaking of [Steel Fang], we must not mention another powerful pillar of the church organization in Tempus - [Broken Blade].

[Broken Blade] are mostly warriors and priests who were injured serving Tempus. Although they can no longer provide combat power for the front line, these members usually play the role of backup in the temple or altar. They also swore to the death to defend the guarded place.

And [Steel Fang] is a fighting group composed of elite fighters and priests, and its members are often assigned very dangerous tasks. [Steel Fang] is led by a priest who is proficient in combat, and also has connections with many mercenary groups or knight groups.

The common symbol of the mercenary group who believed in Tempus was a brown rusty dagger pointing obliquely to the lower right, with four drops of blood dripping from the blade.

This knight group belonging to [Steel Fang] is called the Shadow of Diros. Diros is the name of one of Tempus's twin mounts, the black stallion. It is said that when Tempus appeared on the When joining a certain side on the battlefield, it means that the army of this side is bound to fail, which leads to the fact that whoever sees the God of War riding a black stallion means that he is about to suffer the doom of defeat.

The meaning of the shadow of Diros is that when the enemy sees our shadow, they will also go to the fate of failure.It's a pity that this well-named knight group was not favored by victory today. They suffered a humiliation-a sexual defeat on the Black Feather Bridge.

Whether it's a group fight or a one-on-one fight, the Knights of the Shadow of Diros can be said to have lost nothing to say.This made Fantez Ambrose, the head of the Knights, feel extremely aggrieved. As a powerful figure from Tethyr, he and his people had never suffered such a big loss.

Fantez was extremely unconvinced. It must be known that he was a top priest of Tempus, and the knights under his command were all able to cast a divine spell bestowed by the God of War.

Under normal circumstances, as long as they bless their divine arts, even adult dragons would have to stay away when they saw them.

However, the gods have descended into the world recently, and it is very difficult for any priest or clergyman to use even the simplest magic spell when they are far away from the grace of God.

Even though the Ambrose brothers regained the saintly body of the God of War walking in the mortal world and regained the favor of the God of War, if they were too far away from the holy body of Tempus, they still could not borrow divine spells.

Just like on the Black Feather Bridge, the knights of the shadow of Diros who lost the blessing of magic were directly beaten into dogs by William.

Fantez Ambrose didn't want to leave just like that, and then he took the remnants of his knight order to live in the seemingly vacant Black Feather Bridge Village.

Then, when the moon was at its zenith, William, who was hiding outside Heiyuqiao Village, witnessed the ferocity of the Moonlight Mouse once again. The remnants of the Diros Shadow, which had more than 40 members, screamed and shouted , Only two people barely ran out of the village gate on barebacked war horses.

Surprisingly, even though these two people were already at the end of their battles, even the horses were seriously injured and could hardly run anymore, and the Moonlight Mouse entrenched in Heiyuqiao Village did not run out to chase them down, but stood At the gate of the village, he watched the two slowly leave, and watched them being grabbed and taken away by another group of Twolegs on horseback.

Fantez and his son Edson Ambrose are the only remaining members of the entire Knights. They were able to escape from the Moonlight Mouse not only because the father and son were lucky enough, but also because Fantitz There is a sacred emblem blessed by the saint Tempus on his body, allowing him to use a divine spell once when he is far away from the saint.

There is no doubt that this is the trump card that Van Tetz used to save his life.

If it was not a matter of life and death, he would never use this sacred thing.The reason is very simple. This God of War emblem does not belong to Van Tetz, but to his elder brother, Aldan Ambrose, who is called the spokesman of God of War.

Aldan is the most loyal servant of Tempus. Since the gods lost their place—that is, the first batch of gods came to the world, from this time on, all believers cannot borrow magic from their respective gods——Air Dan left Amn and searched for the God of War all over the world.

Relying on his understanding of the nature of Tempus, Eldan came to the Valley Alliance, where he successfully found the War Saint. As a reward for his loyalty to Priest Eldan, Tempus bestowed the sacred emblem, But Eldan gave the holy emblem to his brother.

Even though Van Tetz used the magic contained in the holy emblem, he and his son barely escaped from the siege of the Moonlight Mouse, and when William's cavalry captured them, the father and son, who were covered in bruises, even Without the slightest thought of rebellion, he was delighted to ask them for help.

When William saw the tragic situation of the Van Tetz father and son, he immediately understood the reason why the father and son asked their enemies for help.The cruel and vicious Moonlight Mouse bit off young Edson's ear, nose, and an eyeball.And Fantez's feet even exposed the toe bones and leg bones. I really don't know how the poor father and son escaped from the rat pile in such terrible pain.

Out of pity for the tragic father and son, William treated them superficially with spellfire energy, healing bleeding wounds but not restoring missing limbs.

As a veteran priest, Van Tetz is a man of knowledge. Although he doesn't know why William can use "divine magic" to heal himself and his son, he also doesn't know the secret about the cursed fire.

But he is very clear that William is capable of helping their father and son recover from physical trauma, because Van Tetz is well aware of the advantages and limitations of various healing spells. The effect is definitely not comparable to the mere [Healing God Art].

Van Tetz never wanted his young son to live like a monster in the future and be ridiculed and despised.So when William asked Van Tetz about the information about the Tempus Allied Forces, the beloved pastor almost told everything he knew like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

On the surface, the person who presides over the army of Tempus is Aldan Ambrose, but in fact, there are other people who actually command the army. They are a black-bearded strong man wearing a gorgeous captain's costume, and a A dark-haired female knight who always wears red armor.

Moreover, it is said that they also have an ally who will lead the army to join in at the critical moment of the battle. Van Tetz once saw the envoy of that ally, a strong warrior with blond hair, riding a chrysanthemum green Pegasus.

The so-called chrysanthemum blue refers to a horse with green hair (green hair refers to the mixture of black and white hair, which looks blue from a distance), and there are dark spots on the shoulders, ribs, buttocks and other trunks, which are shaped like chrysanthemums, so it is called chrysanthemum green.

William was very satisfied with Van Tetz's wit and wit, and he agreed to the other party's request to save his son almost without hesitation.

With the injection of a large amount of life force transformed by the energy of the curse fire, the ugly wound of the young Edson healed almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the ears and nose bitten off by the mouse grew back almost intact. The bitten eyeball is a little troublesome. The organ itself has grown, but the vision has not recovered. It is estimated that a [Secondary Restoration Technique] is needed to completely recover the visual function of this newborn eyeball.

What happened next to the father and son was a bit embarrassing.In fact, after getting enough information, William didn't mind releasing the father and son, but Van Tetz didn't dare to take Edson directly back to the camp of the Tempus army because he and Edson were killed. The traces of treatment cannot be concealed, unless they are willing to spend a period of time in the wild, so that the new skin will become consistent with the appearance of the old skin.

Otherwise, those shrewd and experienced priests and even saints would be able to see that the problem of the father and son, apart from the believers around a certain god, who can use divine magic to treat them at this time.Why should the servants of other gods heal them? !
Therefore, if they go back directly, Van Tetz's betrayal will be exposed immediately.

After some almost argumentative discussions, Edson stayed on William's side as a prisoner, while Van Tetz rode back to the Tempus army alone.

After dealing with this incident, which was not considered an accident, William began to plan the next move.His target was the enemy's ally army. William was worried that it might be an all-flying Pegasus knight.

How can we force the opponent out of the dark?William has his own way of doing this.

He immediately sent someone back to Iron Horse Pass, and transferred the three little girls to his side, along with all the Mist Knights.

When the whole team gathered, William asked Misha'er to ride three flying horses, Mo Xiao, to act as scouts in the sky, while he led all the Mist Knights to gallop across the land of Feather Valley, facing Tempus. The stragglers of the army carried out a brutal and merciless purge.

On the first day, William and the others besieged four almost defenseless mercenary groups, killed more than 300 enemy soldiers, and defeated two knight groups who came to rescue.

The next day, two more mercenary groups with insufficient defense were encircled and wiped out on the way to Heiba ​​Bridge, and more than 400 mercenaries survived.The mercenary team that went out to collect food later also suffered the same bad luck.

On the third day, an angry cavalry regiment was gathered, and nearly two thousand knights searched the land of Lingyu Valley with a net, but unfortunately they did not find even a shadow of the enemy.Just when this anxious cavalry regiment was about to return to the camp, they suddenly received information about the enemy's tracks.

The food convoy transporting supplies from Taser Valley to the Tempus Army was attacked by the enemy.When the cavalry wing arrived at the scene where the grain transport team was attacked, they found that the enemy had already left.Only the bodies of the guards who were killed were left at the scene, and the convoy transporting food disappeared along with the food. The attackers did not leave any clues for the cavalry regiment to track down. Even the most experienced ranger Or thieves have difficulty tracking the whereabouts of the enemy.

There is a famous saying in the tracking industry: Wherever there is a mistake, there must be a trace.Converted into the words of William's previous life, it is "the wind leaves a sound, and the geese leave a trace."

The commander of the cavalry regiment never believed that the attackers would appear without warning and disappear without a trace after the battle, even ghosts of the undead.

While this cavalry regiment was searching for clues back and forth in the area at the junction of Feather Valley and Taser Valley, another unfortunate news came from the north. A transport team from Plow Valley was also attacked in Scar Valley. attack.

Cultivated Valley is located in the northern part of the Asaba River. It is one of the oldest city-states in the Valley Alliance, and it is also the city-state that suffered the most from the invasion and oppression of King Lashan, the former lord of Scar Valley.The last word, of course, comes from members of the Council of Seven, the rulers of the plowed valley, speaking at the council of the valley after the fall (or disappearance, as it is commonly called) of King Rashan.

The rulers of Plow Valley are the Council of Seven Citizens, the seven wealthiest men in the Valley.A citizen councilor holds his or her seat in parliament for life until death, and the plowmen then commission the wealthiest non-citizen councilor to take his place.

Genggu did not provide many soldiers during the coalition's assembly, but they paid a large donation for the coalition as support. Almost half of the mercenaries in the Starfall Sea area were attracted by this donation, and then Became part of the Tempus Allied Forces.

Therefore, although Genggu's transport team transported no strategic materials, its value was enough to drive all the mercenaries crazy.Therefore, when the news of the attack on the transport team of Genggu reached the coalition camp, countless mercenary groups and knights rushed out of the camp of the Tempus coalition army. Go in the direction of Scar Valley.

All the coalition soldiers who left the camp didn't notice that there was a Pegasus flying against them in the cloudy sky.

That's right, William used Pegasus' flying ability every time he attacked.Every time he will ride a Pegasus with Meluna to scout in the air, when they find a target that can be attacked, William will land on the ground, open the gate of flames with the help of Meluna, and then hide in the flame world The Mist Knights who had been waiting for a long time would rush out from the Flame Gate and kill the target. After the battle was over, they cleaned the battlefield and returned to William's base in the Flame World, waiting for the next opportunity to attack.

As for why William didn't take action to wipe out those mortal armies himself, it was because of the gentleman's agreement between him and the old mage Elminster, that is, William promised not to use large-scale destructive means against the mortal army first. Of course, if the enemy uses illegal means, William has the right to fight back.

This is the reason why William wants to play mortal war games. If he wants to unify the valley, he has to rely on worldly means to achieve it.

William didn't like to play politics, and he didn't have that talent, so war in the mortal world became his only choice.

In fact, even if he was playing a mundane hegemony game, William had an overwhelming advantage in this regard.

Let’s say that William saw countless Tempus Allied soldiers rushing out of the camp from high in the sky. He immediately let Mo Xiao land behind a hill in the south of the enemy’s camp, and then opened the gate of flames with Meluna. .
